Where do the Babies come from

For better or worse, here is the last chapter!
Sorry that it took me so long to finish (especially since the whole thing was only supposed to be a quick story…)
But I changed this chapter over and over again; it just refused to work out like I wanted it…

Warning: Angry, bloodthirsty Yami; insane, paranoid Marik… There will be swearing, and some death threats...

Well, I hope you like it anyway, and a very big thank-you for everyone for all the Reviews, Favorites and Alerts!
And now, have fun with the last chapter of 'Where do the babies come from'

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Poor, poor Yami…
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Yami watched curiously while Yugi zoomed around in the kitchen to prepare chips, cola and chocolate-cake for their friends, who were supposed to show up a little later.
At last, Yugi hopes that they are still Yami's friends after this afternoon. But sadly, Yugi wasn’t really sure about that, especially when it came to Bakura and Marik.
He could only hope that the three Yamis wouldn't blow up the house when they are forced to stay with each other in the same room for more then a few minutes…

The small Hikari smiled a little nervous under the watchful gaze of the former pharaoh, who, yet again, was unable to tear his eyes away from the shorter teen.
'Like an innocent, pure angel, fallen from heaven right into my grasp…' Yami thought with a sigh 'How I wish I could really hold you and never let you go… I would love to hold you tightly in my arms and kiss you over and over again until you're out of breath and panting and moaning. Taste your soft lips and stroke your warm skin…'
He let his eyes again wander over the slender body of the other; the pale arms coming out of a thigh fitting, dark, sleeveless shirt.
The delicate legs poking out of short, tight shorts.
Thanks to the hot weather Yugi didn’t hide under fabric, but showed a lot of skin.
Skin that Yami really would love to touch, tease, lick and nip.
The daydreaming Yami shook his head quickly to get rid of those dangerous thoughts before his sweet little Light could hear them.

'No, not now. It's too soon, he's too young, too innocent to think or care about such things and ideas!
I have to get a hold on myself and be patient until he's ready.
Get a grip on yourself, Yami, do it for Yugi!' he scold himself, while ruby-red eyes soak up every gentle move, every sparkle of amethyst eyes, every sound of the angelic voice like the dry desert-sand the rain.
'It's too soon. But when you're older…' Yami licked unconsciously over his lips while the main character of his not-so-innocent fantasies looked up at him curiously.

"Yami?" the teen asked worried as he feels the stare in the back of his neck and turned around.
"Yami? Hello, anyone home? You don’t need to look at me like that; you will get pizza when everyone is here, and not a minute sooner!
And no, no fries either! If you start 'tasting a little' we will have nothing left in the end!…" with a good-natured smile he shook his head.
Yami blinked for a moment blankly as he was torn from his dreams and he blushed a little as he got caught. Especially as he finally noticed that Yugi stood so near him that their noses nearly touched.
All he has to do is bent down a little and he could…

The shorter one stood up on his tiptoes and tilts his head to the side:
"Yami? Are you all right?" and he tipped him on the nose with his finger.
"Oh yes, sure, of course I'm all right. Don’t worry, I promise I don’t touch anything!"
He made a step back to resist the temptation to simply pull his Hikari closer.
The soft, light touch on his nose had brought him back to reality, and he push all those dirty thoughts about his Light and big bed and no clothes back in their box and slam the cover over it.
For now at last…
Yugi nodded quickly without noticing his line of thought.
The former pharaoh was incredibly thankful for that little fact.
Yugi just turned around and whirred again through the kitchen to get everything ready for their gathering.
"What are you planning anyway, Aibou? Is there a certain reason for this get-together? Everything is all right, right? I mean, you would tell me if something happens….?!"

Again those amethyst orbs sparkled up at him, and the bright smile he got left Yami breathless.
For a moment his head stopped thinking.
At last the head on his shoulders (*g*)

The Hikari didn’t notice Yami's reaction and just shook his head at him. He didn’t want to tell Yami so soon, the pharaoh would be capable of running off to hunt them down before he even finished the sentence!

"Well.. Look, Yami, it's nothing bad, don’t worry. But I will tell you later, when the others are here, too. We to talk, and I want to have you all together before I start." Yugi said very carefully, knowing how protective his pharaoh could get when he thought that someone could taint or harm him.

Yami couldn’t get rid of the feeling that the others have done something while he wasn’t watching, and that he should punish them of that.
Whatever it was.
And he wants to know now and not later what it was!
How was he to watch and protect his Yugi when he didn’t even know from what or whom?!

But before he could think more about how he wants to torture them when he get his hands on them he got distracted from his violent thoughts.
The doorbell rang and the first guests/victims/soon-to-be corpses showed up on their doorstep.

Yugi softly petted Yami's head with a smile and skipped happily whistling away to open the door and greet their friends.
Yami stood right behind him, his arms crossed over his chest, upright and serious, with a dark scowl on his face and his lips in a thin line.
'I will find out what's going on here, trust me!'

Joey and Anzu came in and waved happily at the two teens, until they caught sight of the angry puzzle spirit.
Said spirit seems to look at them as if pondering if he should sent them to the shadow real or simply kill them off.
Both Anzu and Joey wondered if they had done anything to warrant his wrath, but nothing came to mind…

And Yugi had never told them why they should meet him here in the first place, just when they shall meet him.
But suddenly they had the feeling that this evening could end with a funeral.
Theirs, to be exact.
All Yugi had told them on the phone was that it would mean so, so much to him that they showed up today.
And that he would be so, so sad if they can't come.
And what can you say to him in such a case, beside yes…

Just as the two worried teens sat down in the living-room, the doorbell sounds again to announce the next victims for Yami's anger.
Malik and Ryou, too, were greeted by Yugi with a warm smile, while Yami tried to kill them with his glare, just for good measure. Even as he himself didn’t know what for.
You couldn’t tell it with Ryou's pale skin, but Malik definitely lost color.
"Yugi, did we do something wrong? Because I think Yami is mad at us…" Ryou whispered quietly while keeping an eye on Yami.
"Oh, don’t worry, he doesn’t do anything." the short Hikari tried to reassure them, but he heard Malik's sarcastic murmur as the tanned Hikari passed by on his way in the living room:
"Yeah, sure, he just wants to play…!"

"Yami, do you really have to scare our friends so much? They didn’t do anything." Yugi huffed as the other Hikaris also vanished into the living room.
Yami blinked seemingly confused down at him as if he never did anything wrong in his life before he muttered: "I'm not sure about that…"

But before they could talk more about it, the doorbell rang again.
The next one to come was a very worried Ishizu, who nervously looked around as she stepped in. Needless to say that Yami's dark glare at her did nothing to calm her down.
She then decided that she didn’t want to be the one who tells him that Bakura and Marik are still somewhere out there, alone and unattended.

Yugi smiles calmly up at her: "Hi, I'm glad that you are here. Just go to the others in the living room if you want. Now we just have to wait for Marik and Bakura to show up, and we're complete."
"THOSE INSANE PSYCHOS COME, TOO?" Yami yelled as they were alone again:
"Why can't we just forget about them? No one needs then, and we will certainly not miss them!"
Yami scowled at the door as if it was the reason for his bad mood and the root of all evil.
Those two fools are bad company for innocent Hikaris…

But before he could think more about it, he got again interrupted, this time ratter rude.

Someone beats noisily against the door as if to break it down, and loud laughing and snickering was heard on the other side.
It was no surprise that the two missing Yamis stood there and were apparently incapable to find the doorbell.
Again.
Like always.

As he recognized the voices, Yami quickly shoved his Hikari towards the living room to join the others, just to get him away from those nuisances.
"HEY, IS SOMEONE HOME? MALIK, I KNOW AT LAST YOU ARE HERE! YOU TOLD ME TO COME, REMEMBER?!" Marik shouted , and Bakura helped him:
"LET US IN, OR I WILL LET US IN! HEY, WE HAVE AN INVITATION, SO OPEN THE DOOR, OR YOU WILL LOOSE IT!"
Again and again they pounded against the door with both of their fists, and kicked against it as they tried to be as loud and noisy as possible.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, or you can go back in the nuthouse you broke out, you damn Ra- damned psychos!" Yami snarled at them as he yanked the door open.
Bakura stuck his tongue out at him, while Marik tilt his head to the side:
"I think our Yami is little angry." He whined with a childish pout.
"When isn't he angry!" Bakura growled and petted Yami's spiky head:
"Really, man, you should try to get the midget in your bed, maybe then you will loosen up a bit! Give him a few drinks, get laid, and calm down."
Chuckling the both of them went to join the others, while Yami remained by the door with clenched fists. A low growl came from deep in his chest, and the air around him suddenly seems to burn.
Just one more word from them, and the all hell will break loose!

'How dare those perverse assholes to think like that about my innocent little light, let alone say it out loud!!!!
What if he hears them, he is way too young for such… such… dirty things!
He is almost a child, so sweet and innocent….
I should kill them before they taint him with their perverse talk!

I don’t know what Yugi wants to talk about with all of us, but I'm sure they are responsible.
Yeah, it's their fault, like always, it's always their fault!
I SHOULD REALLY KILL THEM!
They will taint and corrupt not only mine, their own Hikaris, too.
I would do everyone a big favor if I get rid of them!
I could secretly lure them away, and then I sent them to the shadow realm!
And if someone asks, I just tell them that I don’t know anything about it.
Yugi would give me an alibi without asking questions if I ask him, I'm sure.
Or I could just say that they run away or something…'

"YAMI, ARE YOU COMING, TOO?" Suddenly Yugi's voice came from the living room, and Yami nodded, even as no one could see him. Everyone looked at the short Hikari, since apparently not even Yami knows anything.
And that is rare.
"I should send you all to the shadow realm, I'm sure you deserve it!" Yami muttered sulkily under his breath as he sat down in an armchair where he could easily watch everyone in the room.
Impatient he drums with his hand on his thigh, while Bakura and Marik sat down beside each other between their lights.
Both of the Yamis got a piece of cake and were for now quiet and peacefully happy.

"Okay, I asked you to come today because I think we have something important to talk about. I had one question, one simple little question, and I'm ratter horrified about the answers you all gave me…"
Sadly the small Hikari shook his head, while his friends suddenly fought the urge to hide as they shot a short look in Yami's direction.

Yami sat behind him, his eyes wide in shock as he instantly knew what question his innocent angel was talking about.
'Poor, poor Aibou, who knows what kind of horror stories they told you…'
He hoped with all his heart that Yugi didn’t asked everyone in the room. That Bakura and Marik are just here because their Lights made them come.
To escort them and keep an eye on them, and not because Yugi asked them about babies.
He shuddered as he thought about Yugi being alone with them, asking them something like that…
They are able and scare the poor boy for his entire life!

Yugi just talked on and ignored the growling and brooding pharaoh behind him: "Anzu, you told me about the colorful eggs, which are delivered by angles, and that babies hatch like little birds out of them."

The girl smiled nervously as Yugi walked over to her, and blushed as everyone looked at her.
"I'm sorry to say that, but I really doubt that babies grow on trees, no matter how pretty the leaves are."

"Angels?" Yami asked lurking. He leant forward a bit and stared at the girl scrutinizing. Angels sound harmless enough, maybe he could make an exception and not send her to the shadow realm?
Well, he would think about it later, depending at whom else Yugi asked and what they told him…
He leant back in his seat, but didn’t look reassured as he looked at the others. From a table beside him he took a pencil and paper and scribbled something down on it while he listens to Yugis voice.

"Ishizu." Yugi called the beside Anzu sitting Egyptian.
"Malik told me that you told him that babies are delivered by the stork. Do you still believe that?"
The young women looked up at him in shock before her eyes darted over to Yami.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with this, and didn’t want to answer…
Why did her idiotic brother have to drag her into this mess…
Yami just glared at her with his arms crossed over his chest.
But she could clearly read the warning in his ruby-red eyes: Be careful what you say, or else…
And he didn’t even know what Yami had told Yugi, and she loathes disagreeing with him when it wasn’t absolute necessary.

Instinctively she sat up straighter and cleared her throat before she nodded hesitantly:
"Yes. Yes, that is still my opinion." But she looked at Yami instead of Yugi, hoping it was the right answer.
Or at last, not a really wrong one…

Yugi never noticed Yami's short nod as he showed her that he was somewhat satisfied with that; meaning that he wouldn’t kill her on the spot for tainting his precious little Light with things he was too young for.
Yugi just blinked at her, since she didn’t sound very confident about her own words.

Ryou noticed the growing tension in the room, since both hadn't told the same story as Yami. The spirit's face got darker and darker with every passing moment, and by now he only sat at the edge of his seat.
He looks like a cat ready to bounce.
With many little mice before him…

And that’s why Rou decided that it's better to get it over with, now that he still had a chance, since he could clearly remember the story his own dear Yami had to tell.
And after hearing that Yami's mood will surly not improve. And somehow he had a feeling that Marik's story isn't any better…

"I told Yugi that you can choose and fetch your baby in the hospital… You walk in, choose the colors and after some time you can take it home with you. But that’s just what I heard… So maybe it is different everywhere…?" the white-haired teen asked, but more in Yami's direction then Yugi's.
Again.
They were talking with Yugi but looking at Yami…

"Like in a big shop, right." Yugi nodded, while at the same time he had to shove Yami back in his seat after he leaped up from it with a low growl. The pharaoh bared his teeth, and Ryou slides more to Bakura to hide at his side. The tomb robber just gave him a short look, snarls in Yami's direction and then ate his cake again.

Yami glared a last time at the poor, frighten Hikari before he sat down and scribbled something on the piece of paper on his lap.
A short look showed that there were the names of everyone in the room, and behind Anzu, Malik, Ishizu and now also Ryou's name were little doodles about how Yami would like to kill them.
Bakura and Marik were still busy with their cakes and ignored everything around them in their sugar-induced bliss.
Bakura spread crumbs all around him, and Marik had chocolate smeared all over his tanned face.

Joey chucked at the answers Yugi collected so far, at last until the short Hikari stood suddenly just before him with a smile:
"Now, now, you really shouldn’t laugh at other people, Joey. That’s not very nice."
Red eyes nearly burned holes into Joey's blond head.
"YOU ASKED JOEY, TOO?" A not very happy snarl of a not very happy pharaoh.
Suddenly Yami remembered a certain event long time ago. A few days after he got out of his puzzle for the first time, to be exact.
Joey tried to give his innocent Hikari an adult-video!
And Yami even saw such filthy stuff in Joey's room one time, before it got quickly shoved under a messy bed!

'I should have destroyed that stuff on the spot, instead of telling him that he should keep it away from my pure little Angel!'
Yami got up from his chair again and hugged Yugi soothingly from behind, while he shoots Joey a dark scowl over Yugi's shoulder:
"Don’t worry Aibou, everything is all right. No wonder that you're a little confused, who knows what he showed you!
That’s the reason for your sudden question, right?
I'm just going over there and murder the mutt, and then you forget all the horrible, dirty things he told you!
And then, everything will be all right again…"

Yugi shook his head and tried really hard not to laugh:
Sometimes Yami just gets a 'little' carried away…
"I know you will miss him, but I promise it will pass…
My poor, innocent Aibou…"
Yugi sighed and let Yami cuddle him, at last he didn’t try to strangle Joey at the moment.
"Sorry Yami, but I didn’t see any weird stuff. As a matter of fact, Joey never even gave me an answer. He run away the first opportunity he had, with a bad excuse."

Yami nodded and let Yugi drag him back over to his chair: "I'm not finished yet, so please sit down and draw your little pictures."
Big, amethyst eyes blinked pleadingly up to him, and it was even for an old spirit impossible to resist the puppy-dog eyes.

Under Yami's watchful eyes Yugi moved on to the next victim on his list: Marik.
"Marik, what was your suggestion again?"
"SPIDERS! They jump you in the middle of the night and kidnap you to their secret hideaway! And in the morning you will wake up pregnant!!!!!" Marik nodded eagerly, and Yugi smiled at his enthusiasms.
Malik beside him hides his face in his hands with a distraught moan: He had really, really hoped Yugi wouldn’t mention that!
"You mean like the one over there on Bakura's shoulder, who looks at you the whole time?" Yugi asked innocently.

The reaction came instantly:
Marik hit Bakura several times with his plate on shoulder and head, to murder the non-existent spider.
He leaped up and assaulted the startled tomb robber:
"DIE, SPIDER, YOU WILL NEVER GET US!!!! DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!"
Bakura tried to duck away, but Marik just happily kept on hitting and yelling at him.
He didn’t care that he beat him in his eagerness over the head, not only on his shoulder, where that spider was supposed to sit!

Yami stood up to get Yugi out of the way before the insane Yami could hit him, too, since he thrashed out at everything that moved without so much as looking at it.
Meanwhile, Malik tried desperately to pull his darker half away from poor Bakura, who only stared at him unbelievingly.
He had known that the other was a little insane, but he never thought it was this bad!
"Calm down, Marik! There is no spider! Do you hear me? No spider, so sit down, nothing can happen to you…
You believe me, right? You believe you Hikari that nothing will happen to you, and that no spider will harm you…"

The insane Yami looked from Bakura to Malik and back, then at the broken plate in his hands.
Then he blinked warily at his Light: "Really? Are you really, entire completely sure?"
He tugged and searched through the long, white hair and messed it up in the progress: "Maybe that monster hides somewhere in here? Maybe there are even more then one? What if there is more then one?! There are many hiding spots in there…"

"THERE IS NO GOD-DAMN SPIDER IN MY HAIR, AND NOW TAKE YOU FUCKING HANDS OFF OF ME BEFORE I REMOVE THEM!!!" Bakura finally had enough of Marik's nonsense. Growling he picked splinters of the plate and bits of the cake from his clothes and out of his hair.
Marik sat down beside him, but moved as far away from the thief as possible.
"I meant no harm! I just don’t want to have many little thieves running around here…" he murmured sadly and tried to look in every direction at the same time. In case there is a spider somewhere around.

Yami starred at him with big eyes and could only say one word: "Spiders?"
"Where? Where? I squash them all, I'm good at squashing things!" again he was up and stood, armed now with Bakura's plate, on the couch.

"Yugi! I hope you don’t believe a single thing he says! You don’t need to be afraid, spiders are completely harmless! I can't believe that idiot is afraid of bugs!" Yami scold, and Marik promptly threw his plate at him:
"THEY ARE NOT HARMLESS! You don’t know a thing, so shut up, pharaoh!
They will come, kidnap you, and then we stuck with even more of those short pests!
Soon we will have numerous little Yamis and Bakuras running around, just because you can’t listen!
But then don’t come crying to me, because I don’t help you hunting and crushing them all!"

"BUT I'M GOING TO HUNT AND CRUSH YOU, IF YOU DON’T SHUT UP! I don’t want you to scare my poor Hikari with this shit!
Its bad enough that someone like you is allowed to run around free; you should at last wear a straitjacket and a muzzle! And a danger sign, you insane psycho!"
Yami was about to jump and kill the blond Yami, as his Hikari took his hand and made him sit:
"There Yami. Now we sit down here in this comfy chair and take a deep breath to clam down. No reason to get upset, you know how Marik is…"
Yugi's voice was low and soothingly as he stoked Yami's arm.
He sat down beside his Yami on the armrest, just to be safe.
To make sure he doesn’t kill anyone…
"See, everything is all right, nothing bad happened… No reason to kill him…"

By now Malik and Bakura got Marik down from the couch. Both held him down so he couldn’t jump up and thrash around again.
Malik frowned sadly at Yugi: "Was that absolutely necessary? You know how he reacts to those Ra-damned, good-for-nothing bugs!
And he was so obedient until now…"

Yugi blinked sweetly at him: "But Malik.. I didn’t mean to freak him out… I just never thought that it is that bad… I'm sorry, really…"

Malik shock his head: "It's all right, Yugi. But please don’t say that word again, because I don’t really want to kick him out. You never know what he does there, all alone."
They simply ignored Marik, who was busy watching Bakura with a cake knife in his hand.
At last, until his saner half noticed this and took away his weapon:
"Give me that!"

"What did the tomb robber tell you?" Yami asked suddenly, with a lurking undertone. He wants to get it over with. So he could kill them and then comfort his frighten Light.
"I just told him the true, shorty! About the old, black castle with the graveyard and the bad weather, the cages and the bats and rats and spiders-"

*BAMMM*

And again he got hit over his head, thanks to a certain blond Yami who fears spiders.

"I KILL THEM, I KILL THEM ALL! I DON’T CARE IF THEY ARE FRIENDS, I MURDER THEM ALL!" But before Yami could act on his threat, Yugi sat down on his lap so he couldn’t get up.
Instantly Yami's arms came around Yugi's waist to hold him there.
He thought that Yugi needed his comfort and closeness, after all the different stories they told the poor boy…
Especially the two Yamis.

'I should have killed them long ago. I could even count as act of mercy!'
"Just forget everything they told you, Aibou. You will learn the true and understand everything when you're a little older. You only need a little patience.
You are too young and innocent to think about such stuff…" he murmured in Yugi's ear and stroked through his tri-colored hair and over his back.

"You know, Yami, your story about the flowers was also not really correct, so you shouldn’t scold the others." Yugi smiled innocently up at his darker half.
Yami tried to say something to his defense, but he got interrupted as the other two Yami fell from the couch in a laughing fit.

"Flowers…"
"That’s great, really…"
"You couldn’t think of anything better?"
"That’s nearly as bad as her angels…"
"And that at your age…"
"One would have thought you know…"
"Don’t want to taint your Light, ne?"

Yugi pressed himself more against a fuming Puzzlespirit and wrapped his arms around the others waist to prevent that the Yamis die an unexpected, painful death.
Ryou and Malik tried to calm their own Yamis down before the pharaoh completely lost it and simply sent them to the shadow realm to play target with his dark magician.
At the same time, Anzu and Joey tried to leave the room preferably silent and careful, until Yami pinned them to their place with a sharp look.
Quickly they sat back with a nervous laugh and assured Yami that it was a mistake, and they never tried to run away from him.

In the meantime 'borrowed' Ishizu one of the pans from the kitchen and hit Marik's head several times with it to keep him down, while Ryou bribed the Thief king with more cake.

As everything calmed down again, they all looked from one to the other and tried hard not to laugh again at all the different, confusing stories they told poor, innocent Yugi.
And it was clear as day that Yami was not happy with them.

"Well, personally I don’t think it is that funny! I don’t know what had gone wrong with you all, but it seems that Kaiba was the only one who gave me an intelligent answer! That’s why he didn’t have to be here today."

"I KILL THAT BASTARD!" Yami screamed straightaway, but Yugi ignored his outraged pharaoh.
The short Hikari just wriggled around on his lap, and Yami blushed bright red and became abruptly silent.
He had to concentrate that a certain part of his anatomy not hardens as he felt Yugi butt shift around on him.

"It is really time for you all to learn the true, because it can't go on like this!
So listen, and listen carefully:
The stork doesn’t bring the babies.
The angels are not to blame, babies don’t grow on a tree.
No one breeds babies in a castle to lock them away in cages and you don’t need to steal them.
You can't buy them in a hospital, and there are no 8-legged animals involved by making them."
And with that he opens a laptop on the table and showed them the same videos Kaiba showed him, before he put Mokubas book down beside it.
"I'm really sorry that I had to show you that, but it seems that none of you paid attention as we learnt that in the biology-class."
And Yugi managed it to say that with a cute and innocent smile, like he was talking about sweet candies and fluffy clouds.

Everyone starred at him with big eyes before they simultaneously decided to go home, as fast as they could.
Yami just sat there, pale and motionless, and gasped for air, before he exploded.
"HE SHOWED YOU THAT? NOW HE DID IT! HE IS DUE; I'M GOING TO CATCH THAT ASS!
AND THIS TIME YOU CAN'T HOLD ME BACK, AIBOU!
I'M GOING TO DESTROY HIM, MURDER HIM, MAKE HIM DEATH!
I STRANGLE HIM, I BURN HIM, CUT HIM TO PIECES, CARVE HIS HEART OUT, DROWN HIM IN BOILING OIL…
AND THEN I KILL HIM!"
That were the last words they heard from Yami as everyone fled quickly before Yami remembers them.

Yami tried to run after them, the golden eye on his forehead and the puzzle a bright golden shine
The Shadows around him moved, ready to tear his target merciless to shreds.
He had the cards with his favorite monsters in his hand, ready to summon them to help him with his hunt.
The whole house seems to shake in a small earthquake, the pharaoh growled and snarled like an angry cat. But Yami could do a little more damage then a normal kitten.
The only thing holding him back from darting out of the door after the escaping pray was the Hikari holding him around the waist with all his might.
Yugi tried his best to restrain his darker side, while he got dragged half across the room at the same time.
But after a lot of struggling Yugi tripped Yami and then just sat on his back, while Yami swore and cursed. He kicked and thrashed and beat at the floor with his fists, while Yugi leant down to his ear and promised that he let him go after he calmed down and promised not to kill their friends.

"KAIBA IS NOT MY FRIEND, HE NEVER WAS, AND AFTER THIS, HE WILL NEVER EVER BE MY FRIEND! I WANT TO KILL HIM, LET ME KILL HIM, JUST A LITTLE!
AND THEN I FOLLOW BAKURA, AND WHEN I GET HIM I PUT HIM IN A LITTLE CAGE, PUT THE CAGE IN A SAFE AND DUMP IT IN THE OCEAN!
AND THEN I FIND MARIK AND CHOP HIM UP WITH THE BLUNT END OF HIS MILLENNIUM-ROD AND FEED THE REMAINS TO MALIK'S FISHES AND FLOWERS."

Yami yelled from the top of his lungs, his face deep red in his furry, and Yugi held on his shoulders as Yami tried to shake him off.

"YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE HAPPY, AIBOU! KILLING KAIBA WILL MAKE ME HAPPY! I WILL MAKE ME VERY HAPPY! GIVE ME THAT COLDHEARTED, MONEY-SCOOPING, CRUEL, MEAN, UNFEELING BASTARD!
GIVE HIM TO ME, I WANNA KILL HIM. I WANNA KILL HIM, MURDER HIM, SNUFF HIS PATHETIC, USELESS LITTLE LIFE OUT!
I EVEN PROMISE TO KILL THE PSYCHOS QUICKLY, INSTEAD OF TORTURING THEM FOR A FEW WEEKS! AND THE REST GETS A FREE TRIP TO THE SHADOW REALM! I DON’T MURDER THEM LIKE THEY DESERVE! I LET MY MONSTERS PLAY WITH THEM, AND IF THEY SURVIVE, THEY CAN COME BACK!!!"

Yugi somehow couldn’t decide if he should laugh or worry about his Yami, who lay under him on the floor and threw a tantrum like a little child.

"LET ME GO, I HAVE TO KILL A PRIEST! AIBOU, LET ME GO! LET ME AT LAST KILL THE PRIEST!
LET ME GO, LET ME GO!!!!
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRR~"
Yugi could hear a window crack, and the cups and glasses on the table shattered at the loud, angry scream.
"Now, now, Yami. Let it out, let it all out. Everything will be all right. Do you feel a little better now? You know you can't kill Kaiba, Mokuba would miss him…"

"I wanna kill them…murder them… just a little… let me destroy them… please… you wouldn’t miss them, I make sure of that… Aibou…" Yami's voice got weaker and weaker after a while, and so was his struggling, while he whimpers and murmured how much he want to kill them all, how everything was their fault, and how much better the word would be without them.
Yugi sat on his back and rubbed and kneaded his shoulders soothingly, telling him that everything will be all right...

After a while of coaxing and sweet-talking from his Hikari, he calmed down enough remember another important question beside the way to exterminate all their friends in the most bloody manner.

"Yugi, why did you even ask that question, when you already know the answer?"
Yami sat heavily down in his chair and dragged Yugi back on his lap to hug him protectively to his chest.
He brushed his fingers through the tricolored hair, albeit more to calm himself then the shorter one.
He held him tightly and told himself again and again that he was still his little Hikari, even if he wasn’t as innocent as everyone thought he was.
He tried to see the bright side: At last he didn’t need to wait as long as he thought to seduce his Light and win his heart…

The monsters in the shadow realm had now a laptop and a book more to play with. And soon those things will get company by a certain CEO.

"Well, you know, Yami. I was just curious what you know about it, and how you would explain it to me.
It never occurred to me that maybe you wouldn’t know it!
You always seem so mature and clever, so I never guessed…
And out of curiosity I asked the others, too. They all made funny faces, it was very interesting.
I assumed they still knew it from school, even when we learnt that years ago.
But none of them remembered, or they skipped it, or else they would have told me the true, right?!
And Bakura and Marik, well they are the same age as you, and they, too told me such weird stuff.
And so I had to do it, because I can't let them be so ignorant, at our age!
That would be somewhat irresponsible!"
Yugi explained with a smile and gave Yami a soft kiss on the forehead:

"I really didn’t think…
I hope I didn’t scare you too much with those videos…
You know, actually I planned to talk with you about something else, but I think it's too soon for you to think about such stuff.
It's better if we wait until you are a little older and ready for that." He repeated (ironically) the same words Yami always tells himself to hold himself back from making a move on Yugi.
Yugi caressed Yami's cheek softly and bent over as if to steal a kiss from him.
But much to the taller ones disappointment he just laid his arms around his neck and looked deep in ruby eyes.

"You are just too sweet and innocent to worry about it, so let me tell you something:
Yami, I love you, and I want to be with you.
But don’t worry; I will wait for you until you are ready, no matter how long this will be.
It's worth the wait, so take all the time you need to grow up and all.
And when you're ready, we will talk about it again, and look how things go on. Don’t think too much about it for now, I'm not in a hurry."

He rubbed his cheek against Yami's and then just got up to clean the mess the others made in the living room.
He never noticed the disappointed growl behind him, or the twitch as Yami's hands shoot in his direction to grab the smaller form. To drag him back in his arms and tell him that he didn’t need time to think.
That he don’t want to wait…

Suddenly Yami had the urgent need to hit his head against a wall, as Yugi vanished with a happy hum in the kitchen…

.-.-.-.-.-.
End.
.-.-.-.-.-.

I hope you all like the end of this; I planned from the beginning, that Yugi know the answer, but want to see what Yami says.
And that he tells Yami to wait, not the other way around, since most of the time Yugi is the innocent one, and Yami thinks he is too young for a relationship and such…

At first I wrote this chapter that just asks his friends to watch them squirm, but that totally don’t fit the end, so I cut it out. Because if he thinks that the others told him stories just because they think he is too innocent for the true, then why shouldn’t he think the same about Yami?
Right, it wouldn’t work with the end I planned from the first moment I started writhing the first chapter… (That’s why it took me so long to finish, sometimes it's just so hard to write a good end…I'm not sure what to think about this end, so maybe I chance it one day when I have a better idea…)
