Emi: Now since people have been sending me some death threats to finish, I shall!

Kori: Meaning she got lazy and did not want to finish it until her readers asked.

Emi: WHAT?! Now why would I; Emi the most productive person on this planet do that?

Kori: Yeah, I happen to be the queen of the mole people.

Emi: YOU ARE?!

Kori: Oh shut up Emi! Read and review.

Chapter six, did we meet before?

"Motou, what time is it?" Yami asked typing something on his laptop.

Yugi looked down at his watch and was about to answer until a though had occurred to him. "You are on a laptop sir, why can't you look down at the clock on your SCREEN?" He emphasized the screen part.

"Just tell me." Yami snapped, still typing.

"A little past seven sir."

"Quit calling me sir! You're making me sound old." Yami snapped again.

"How old are you Yami?" Yugi asked.

Yami looked up from his desk for a second; still looking quite angry from the hangover and said, "Get back to work dammit."


"Kori, you have a visitor!" Mai called out from the door way.

The blonde glanced up from her desk, slightly confused. "Who is it?" She asked.

Mai shrugged, "Some short girl, she said she has something for you."

The moment she heard that from Mai she knew who it was. "Am I allowed to go real quick Yami?" She asked.

Yami nodded, "You have ten minutes. Keep your personal life at home from now on Snow."

"Yes sir." She sighed and got out of her desk and began to walk outside the Shounen-Ai department, seeing Mai waiting for her. "Where is she?" Kori asked.

Mai pointed to the stair case, "She is down in the lobby."

"Thanks."


"Yami, I don't understand this part at all." Yugi sighed showing one of the pages from his project from Yami.

The chief looked up and took the page from Yugi, he began to examine it real quick. "What do you not understand Motou?" He asked.

"I don't understand why someone would go this far for something as stupid as a strap."

"A strap?" Yami looked at the page again.

Yugi pointed towards the main character searching outside in the middle of night around his school for a strap he lost, a strap he got from his crush. "I mean the character is making his crush upset because he keeps going out at night, for a cell-phone strap. If it would make someone you like upset then what is the point?" He asked.

Fumio chuckled in the background.

Yami and Yugi both turned towards the married man, seeing him cuddle to a teddy bear on his desk. (Teddy bear from the loving wife)

"That's why Motou." Yami pointed out.

"Huh?"

"When a person is in love with someone, everything they receive from them is precious. Even something as 'meaningless' as a cell phone strap. When someone gives a gift to someone else it is basically giving your feelings to them. That is why it is important." Yami explained.

Yugi's eyes widened. Yami had such a lethargic look on his face and looked almost, calm.

"Didn't you ever date Motou, like in high school and such?"

'Highschool...'

Yugi flinched. "No."

"Ah. So it does make sense that you do not understand romantic crap." He laughed.

"Romantic crap you say..."

Fumio chimed in, "I can help you with romantic stuff Yugi!" He called out.

"I can help with physical things Yugi-chan!" Takeshi called out.

Yugi suddenly felt uncomfortable and the need to back up. A light shade of red colored his cheeks.

"Why so shy Yugi? This stuff is natural." Akira began to speak as well.

"You are the last person he needs romantic advice from Akira!" Koru snapped, leaping up from her desk.

"S-Sorry?" Akira stuttered.


"Why are you here Emi?" Kori asked with a hand on her waist, "I said I would pick you up in a hour for the party."

Emi blushed and had a package in her hands, it seemed to be box shaped. "A few of my assistants wanted to go to the party later... Is that alright?" She asked.

Kori sighed, "Yes, but could you not have called me about stuff like that?" She asked.

"Y-Yeah. But I made you something to eat before you leave work so..." Emi began to force a smile.

"A snack? What is it?" She asked.

"Just some cake."

Kori smiled and accepted the box shaped package. "Thanks Emi. Are you gonna head home?" She asked looking inside the box seeing the chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.

"Probably."

"By the time you get there you will have to come back here Emi." Kori sighed.

Emi paused for a moment then began to repeatedly punch her forehead. "God I am so freakin' stupid." She began to self-loath.

"Just follow me up to the office. Yami doesn't like visitors but he shouldn't mind an author right?"

Emi's eyes lit up, "If that is alright!" She practically squealed. "I would love to!"

"Yeah?" Kori said a bit confused.


"Motou, follow me for a minute. I have to go get something from the printing department." Yami commanded.

"What? Why do I have to follow?" Yugi asked.

Yami rolled his eyes, "Because I am going to show you where the printing office is. You are going to need to know where that is Motou." He explained.

"Alright I get it." Yugi got up from his desk.

They both walked out in to the hallway and began to walk towards the elevator and heard it ring the instant they got there, with Kori and her author coming out.

"Oh hello Kori." Yugi smiled a bit surprised at the coincidence.

"Hello again." She smiled back.

Yami did not greet her but he did glare at her. "Is this the girl who called you down?" He asked.

Kori nodded, "Yeah but she is-"

"I don't care but she is your niece or sister, you can't bring a kid-"

"Yami, meet Emi Miyako my current author. She is actually older than myself." Kori interrupted pointing to her short friend.

This took Yami by surprise, "I apologize miss Miyako. I just did not expect you to look so young." He gave a small smile.

"Oh. It's no problem! I am used to it." She and Kori both walked out of the elevator.

"I hope to see you tonight miss Miyako." He smiled as he pressed the elevator button.

"You too Yami!" Emi waved.

The elevator doors shut.

Yugi finally began to laugh. "That was hilarious Yami!" He continuously laughed.

"What part of that was so amusing?" He asked, growling.

"I didn't think you could stress out like that, you were clearly stunned and horrified!" He tried to stop laughing.

Yami glared down at him then sighed. "You're the same as ever."

Yugi stopped laughing and looked up, "W-What?" He asked.

"What?" Yami echoed.

"You said-"

"Oh we're here." Yami interrupted.

"Yami..."


"Fumio, I think you have had enough..." Takeshi giggled, lightly rubbing his back as Fumio wept on the table.

"I'M SORRY-hiccup!" Fumio began to hiccup repeatedly between his breaths. He began to slap his hands over his mouth and rush to the restroom still in tears.

Everyone watched for a moment, quiet. Until Takeshi got up and began to walk to the restroom as well. "I'll go make sure he doesn't try to hang himself with his tie."

"Don't joke about that, idiot." Koru snapped. She had been only drinking soda and water for the past hour and kept snapping at everyone, Akira in particular.

"Haha. Sorry." Takeshi chuckled.

"Everyone is certainly lively." Yugi smiled, on his third glass of liquor.

Kori glanced up and giggled, "Yugi, there is something on your shoulder."

"What?"

Kori pointed to the man leaning against his shoulder. "Yami."

Yugi blushed when he finally noticed that Yami had been leaning against his shoulder the whole time. No wonder everyone had giggled whenever they looked at Yugi.

"That's adorable! Such a cute uke!" Emi shouted.

At this point Yugi felt horrified, he very well knew what Uke meant at this point. Then the thought of him being... By Yami-

"NO!" Yugi shouted out.

"Heh. Still cute." Emi smiled.

"Yugi, she writes this crap for a living. What do you expect?" Koru laughed, taking another sip of her drink.

Yugi paused and sighed feeling the need for more alcohol.

"Hey Yami? Are you alright?" Hiro asked, the whole time he had been drinking but seemed to handle it quite well.

Yami was still quiet and just kept staring down with his eyes half shut.

"Er... Yami?" Hiro asked again.

Yami kept staring down, still on Yugi's shoulder.

Yugi glanced to his right, "Yami? Are you alright?" He asked.

He finally glanced up and nodded, "Yeah..." He mumbled.

"Are you going to end up like Fumio in the bathroom?" Koru asked only to get flat out ignored. She glared for a few moments then pushed her bangs out of her face, "Yami are you so drunk that is has made you deaf?" She asked in a harsh tone.

Of course, Yami remained quiet.

Kori paused for a moment then finally turned to her author and whispered something to her. Emi began to nod quickly, then mouthed out something to Yugi.

"Ask Yami something."

Yugi was a bit confused but did as he was told, "Yami, are you drunk? Do you need to go home?" He asked.

Yami glanced up and nodded, getting up slightly. Yugi got up as well and began to escort Yami outside to his car.

As the two left a smirk appeared on Koru's face, "Oh, so it is him then, right Yami?" She whispered to herself as she took another sip of her drink.


"Yami! Quit acting like a child and go to bed." Yugi shouted.

Yami nodded no, "I'm your boss Yugi. Don't tell me what to do." He growled throwing himself away from Yugi and on to the couch.

"Look, we have work tomorrow and-WAIT!" Yugi's eyes widened.

"Hm?"

"You called me Yugi." He began to feel stunned, already used to being called by his last name.

Yami laid down on his side and began to blow his bangs from his face.

"Yami?" Yugi got down on his knees in front of the couch and glanced at him.

Yami glanced through his bangs and saw Yugi staring at him with a slightly worried expression.

"What?" Yugi asked.

Yami leaned forward and lightly pressed his lips against Yugi's.

Yugi completely turned red after backing up into the coffee table, "YAMI!" He snapped.

Yami flinched.

"What did I tell you about kissing? I don't like it!" Yugi shouted.

"...You did back then." Yami sighed and turned over so his face, faced the couch.

"Back then?"

"Just forget it. Oh wait! You already have." Yami growled.

"Wait-"

"Please leave Yu-Motou." Yami interrupted.


Koru stood at her desk, staring at her computer screen. On the screen was Yugi's picture along with his resume.

"Yugi Motou, I wonder why you left high school so suddenly."
