I'm BAAAACK! I know I know. Yell at me and ask me where the hell have I been. I could think of a million excuses, but it comes down to sheer laziness. I was too lazy to write and even when I started writing I became too lazy to type it up. This started out like always as a oneshot, but it turned into something more.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh or any of the characters. I know it's heart wrenching to say that.

Chapter One

Kaiba wondered how much longer until the endless trees revealed something other than another damn tree. He stumbled over another root, cursing to all the gods for his pathetic luck lately. He growled as his thoughts turned to Jounouchi for what seemed like the hundredth time. He was sure Jounouchi's luck would be better than his. "Hey, Seto, wait. I think we walked in a circle." The ever calm CEO turned to his lover and glared at the blond. Of course when he needed a little luck, Jounouchi's decides to quit.

"How would you know? Look over there it's a tree. Oh wait, I think I see another tree."

Jounouchi rolled his eyes. "Hell of a time to loose that calm and confident personality."

"I could say the same for your luck, Katsuya."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

The brunet grumbled and sat down on the ground, not caring about the dirt. He was sure he looked horrible. "You're supposed to be lucky. What part of our plane crashing was lucky?"

The ex-duelist sighed. "The fact that we lived. I couldn't say the same for your pilots. We also have food and water. Speaking of which, it's your turn," he said, dropping the three heavy bags.

Kaiba stared at the duffle bags with disgust. His feet were sore, and he could barely think about walking another step, not to mention carrying more weight. "We need to take a break."

"Already? I've seen you walk longer through the hallways of Kaiba Corp."

"At least in that building I knew where I was going."

The blond sighed and sat down next to him. He reached into one of the bags and handed Kaiba a small box. "Try fixing your phone again. Maybe it'll turn on this time."

Kaiba took the box and placed it in front of him. The phone stopped working the moment they pushed their way out of the rubble of his private plane. He pulled the device out of the box and opened the back. "Why did you ever agree to date me?"

The ex-duelist chuckled. "You have some good qualities, not a lot, but enough."

"Very funny. A few months ago and I would have taken you seriously." The CEO sighed and tied a few wires together. Placing the back on, he took a deep breath; praying to the gods that his cellphone would work again. He watched the cracked display flicker before going to black.

"That was further than last time," Jounouchi commented.

Kaiba placed his head against the trunk behind him before pulling his long legs up against his chest. "This is hopeless."

"Relax, Seto, it's not like we're in the middle of the jungle or something. We are somewhere close to Japan or at most China. We weren't in the air long."

"Why are you more rational than me this time?"

Jounouchi shrugged and got to his feet. "I could be when I want to." He reached down and pulled Kaiba to his feet. "Now let's keep walking and with some luck we'll find a village or town."

The CEO rolled his eyes and picked the bags up. His feet felt a little better, but they still throbbed. He knew Jounouchi was right, but his body was refusing to walk without protest. He followed the blond instead of leading, hoping that he would have better luck. "Why am I always going back to that thought," he mentally grumbled. If he wasn't thinking about his lover, he was thinking about his unique way of always getting lucky. A clash of thunder was the only warning they received before the sky opened up and rain came crashing through the trees. The brunet groaned and dropped the bags into the quickly moistening ground.

The blond glanced over his shoulder to Kaiba. "There's a small creek or river ahead, and I think a cave. Come on. Don't give up yet." Jounouchi picked the bags up and pulled his lover with his free hand. They slid down the slight slope, barely avoiding a tree. Jounouchi laughed in delight about finding shelter in the cave.

Kaiba couldn't fight the smile that overcame him. Jounouchi always took pride in even the smallest of victories. He pulled his soaked jacket off and glanced back at the blond who finished his victory dance. "I would go get wood for a fire, but its all wet by now. Even our spare clothes got wet."

"It's okay. We don't want to attract any animals." He shivered, wrapping his arms around himself.

The blond took pity on his lover. "Remove all your clothes and drop them over that rock. We need to get the cold water off you." He did the same, not paying attention to what his lover was doing.

Kaiba blushed and refused to move at first, but then he realized that Jounouchi was right. They had to get their wet clothes off. However, with their spare clothes also wet they had nothing to keep them warm. He had just finished spreading his clothes out to dry when he felt warm arms wrapping around him. More shivers ran down to his back, but the blond simply pulled him flushed against his chest. "What are you dong?"

"Warming you up," he commented, pressing his lips against his neck and sucked on the salty, wet flesh.

Kaiba groaned and tilted his head, allowing his lover freedom to roam his body. Fingers ran along his waist followed by shivers that were from his desire more than the cold. He closed his eyes, releasing control to Jounouchi. Every aspect of his life was controlled completely by him except for sex, which he couldn't do with anyone other than Jounouchi. Giving the blond free reign was the best erotic decision of his life. Sex was never an option before Jounouchi. He could never perform before him.

His knees quaked as his lover wrapped his hand around his aching penis. What he would give to have Jounouchi continue, but his rational mind took over. Kaiba placed his hand over the blond's and stopped it from moving. "We can't," he whispered. "We don't know if any animal calls this his home. I for one don't want a bear walking in while you have your dick in my ass."

The blond lifted his head and placed a kissed behind his ear. He knew what Kaiba said could happen but his hormones were taking over. He spun Kaiba around and lifted him up, kissing him deeply to avoid hearing any protests. Kaiba let his legs fall, refusing to yield to Jounouchi's desires this time. He moaned as his lover grinded into his body. "What are the chances of getting caught?" he thought, closing his eyes and pulling Jounouchi up to kiss him. He wrapped his legs around his waist, knowing that the blond's upper body would be able to support his thin frame.

Jounouchi groaned and placed his hands directly below those delicious cheeks of flesh he usually enjoyed licking. "You need to eat more. I thought that part of your emotional trauma was being cured."

"Shut up. Don't speak of that while we're doing this." Kaiba didn't want to think about Gozaburo nor the years of therapy to fix all the habits the cruel man dug into his psyche. He hissed as Jounouchi pressed a cold finger inside of him, knocking Gozaburo far from his thoughts. It was rough and uncomfortable, but he knew the pleasure his lover could bring his body. "Inside me," he whispered. "Rain water isn't working."

The blond used his second finger to spread Kaiba's tight hole open. "Not yet. It'll hurt you."

Growing impatient, Kaiba lifted himself further by pushing on Jounouchi's shoulders. He grabbed the other man's penis and slammed down on it. Pain erupted through his senses but he continued to breath. He knew it would get better once his body adjusted. Jounouchi kissed his lover, knowing that he was in pain. "We're going to have to teach you patience." He shifted a little, pulling a moan from the brunet. "There it is." He shifted Kaiba up and slowly brought him back down. His back was starting to ache from the strain. He walked backwards, using the wall to brace both of them. Once better adjusted, he started to trust faster, harder, whatever his lover craved and asked for. The cave filled with moans and the sounds of flesh hitting flesh. Their harmony never missed a beat until they pulled each other off the edge, climaxing in unison.

Kaiba watched his breath fog behind Jounouchi's head, too dazed to register more than that. The blond recovered first, slowly letting the brunet slid down his body. He swayed a little on his feet. The CEO took pity on his lover and pulled him down until they lied on the cold, uneven stone floor. He wrapped his body protectively around the slightly shorter man, pulling his face up to kiss the corner of his mouth. "You are lucky no animal came in here."

Jounouchi chuckled, sucking slightly on Kaiba's bottom lip between words. "I'm always lucky one way or the other. Are you still cold?"

"A little, but I'm fine."

"Hungry?"

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "You know I never am."

The ex-duelist glanced at his watch. "It's about an hour after your scheduled time to eat. I'll get you a bottle of water and some of those peanuts."

Kaiba wrapped his arms tighter around the blond. "You're too warm to move."

"And you need to eat. Remember your doctor said you won't start feeling hungry again unless you train your body to anticipate food at certain times." Jounouchi moved away from his lover and over to the bags. He got out two of the small water bottles and a few packages of peanuts and chips. He could save the other food for the morning if they manage to make a fire. He returned and handed everything to Kaiba before pulling the man into his lap to keep him warm. He opened one of the bags of chips and smiled as Kaiba did the same.

The CEO didn't like this new way of eating, but he understood and was grateful that Jounouchi was willing to help. He knew that Gozaburo's training affected him more mentally than physically, but he thought he rid himself of that after receiving his first defeat by Yugi. He slowly chewed on the bag of pretzels he got. This was the first time after having sex with Jounouchi that he felt stressed and far from the freedom he usually felt. Did they just have sex just because they could? He stared down at the bag.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't feel good."

The blond brought his hand up to his forehead. "You feel slightly warm. Do you feel sick?"

Kaiba nodded; his stomach doing flips. He was feeling horrible. He managed to move away from his lover before he vomited. Jounouchi instantly was behind the kneeling man, rubbing his back. This was the worst case scenario. He didn't know where they were or how to fix Kaiba's phone. They didn't have any medicine, maybe pain relievers in the first aid kit they took. His lover shivered and nearly fell forward.

Jounouchi brought him back into his lap, rubbing his hands up and down the brunet's arms and chest. He lied him down on the opposite side from where he vomited. He pulled one of the bags over and used it like a pillow under Kaiba's head. He ran over to where Kaiba dropped his coat. It was still damp, but it would be better than the cold air hitting his skin. He draped it over the brunet's shivering form. Kaiba pulled his legs to his chest and curled fully on his side.

Glancing out of the cave he noticed that it was no longer raining. Wondering if there was dry wood out there, he placed his hand on Kaiba's shoulder. "I'm going to look for some wood. Try not to move too much." He didn't get a response from the CEO, not expecting one. Finding dry wood was difficult, especially since the trees were in full bloom and managed to shield a lot of the bark and branches he carried back. It took him several trips to bring enough to get a small fire going. It was getting difficult to see with the night sky looming over them.

Several times he checked on Kaiba, but the man didn't seem to notice anything or anyone around him. He grabbed some rocks and formed a circle before starting on the fire. He was pleased that he learned basic survival skills at a young age. It helped when he was avoiding his father and now when he needed it the most. The fire wasn't large but it produced some heat. He picked Kaiba up, placing him beside the fire and hoping that the heat will help. He cursed himself for not noticing that his lover was ill earlier. He lifted Kaiba's head and placed it in his lap. He gently ran his fingers through his hair, nothing that it was tangled. He smiled, knowing that Kaiba hated his hair dirty.

Jounouchi stared at the flames. He knew that he should gather more wood, but he wanted to wait for the brunet to show any form of improvement first. He regretted not taking the small blankets and the plane was miles away. He couldn't go back for them. He spent what felt like several hours playing with Kaiba's hair before he noticed that he stopped shivering. He gently placed his head down on the bag before moving over to their clothes. He put his pants on, surprised that they were almost dry. He took the other bags and draped Kaiba's shirt and pants over them and placed them by the fire to dry faster.

The blond walked back outside, carrying an empty bottle of water. He filled it with the stream water before walking over to collect more pieces of wood. By the time he needed to add more wood to the fire they should be dried out. Again he made a few trips, checking on the ill CEO every time. By the time he got everything in order and a few more branches added to the fire, Kaiba was finally waking. Jounouchi placed his hand against his forehead. "You're still a little warm. Are you thirsty?" Kaiba nodded, licking his dry lips. The ex-duelist handed him a bottle of water before sitting down beside him. "Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"

"Thought it was just the hot weather," Kaiba murmured. "I didn't know it was something else until I ate something.

"Lie down with your head in my lap. Try to get some more sleep."

"But we have to get moving."

"It's too dark out. We would have to stay here anyway."

Kaiba sighed before moving over to Jounouchi's lap. He closed his eyes when the blond placed a wet cloth over his forehead. The cloth wasn't cold but it was soothing enough for his warm skin. He found himself drifting again until he fell asleep. Jounouchi smiled and carefully changed the cloth when it became too dry. He knew his lover could be stubborn and was pleased he was able to convince him even though he was sure it was more the sickness than him being convinced. He had never seen Kaiba ill and barely heard him sneeze in the two years they were together. He was sad to see him suffering but grateful that he could finally take care of Kaiba instead of the other way around.

The blond didn't sleep that night. He alternated between remoistening the cloth and adding more wood to the fire. He kept added more clothes to the top of Kaiba as they dried. By the next morning, he was pleased to see the color returning to his cheeks and that there wasn't much heat radiating from his forehead. Kaiba slowly opened his eyes and Jounouchi smiled down at him. "Morning, Sleepyhead. Do you feel better?"

The CEO licked his lips and slowly sat up, feeling slightly dizzy. "Thirsty." He looked down at his nude body. "And a little sweaty."

"How about if you eat something as well as you drink?"

Kaiba frowned, remembering the food from the night before. "I could try," he said, knowing that it would make his lover happy if he agreed to eat something. Plus he didn't have much energy to fight and he wanted to conserve it for their continued journey. He was shocked to see that Jounouchi had not only built a fire but had placed a few braches across the stones close to the burning flames in order to heat up one of the cans of soup they took. On the other side the fire he had several bottles warming. Jounouchi placed a spoon into one of the cans and handed it to the brunet. He waited a few minutes for the soup to cool before taking a spoonful. It didn't taste like anything, but he figured he was too sick to know what anything would taste like.

He glanced over at his lover, not knowing if he was lucky to have him. He was sure Jounouchi's luck had nothing to do with them getting together. He sighed and set the remainder of the food down. "We should get going."

"Are you well enough to move?"

"It doesn't matter. We need to find civilization."

The blond rolled his eyes. Sometimes he hated when Kaiba put his health second to what he was doing. He did agree with him, though, only slightly. They would need to seek help quickly incase his condition worsened. He gathered all their supplies and used the last of the creek water to dose the flames. When Kaiba reached for the bags, Jounouchi took them out of his reach. "I don't want you straining yourself. How about if we follow the creek? It could lead us somewhere."

"To the ocean," the CEO snickered, "Or nowhere, but I don't have another plan." He coughed; obviously his body was protesting movement and talking. He ignored the slight lightheadedness and followed the blond out of the cave. The forest smelt refreshed and slightly damp. It clearly finished raining. He glanced up at the sky still unable to see it clearly through the thick trees.

Kaiba hadn't realized that he was drifting away from the blond until his foot didn't land on anything. He gasped and reached from the vine and stopped his descent. "Katsuya!" he called, feeling his heart beating rapidly. He didn't want to look down. He knew it was a deep fall. He could feel the cool breeze against his skin and the distant sounds of waves crashing against the shore.

Jounouchi appeared seconds later, no longer holding their bags. "Don't look down and reach for me," he tried to calm not only his lover but himself. He crept slowly off the slight slope to the edge. He used a different vine for fear that Kaiba's wouldn't hold both of their weight. He reached his hand down and swore under his breath when he couldn't touch his lover's outstretched hand. "Seto, can you use your feet and brace yourself on the side of the cliff?"

The blond watched as Kaiba lifted his long legs slightly and placed his feet on the edge of the rocks. He gasped as he lost his footing a few times but managed to finally brace himself better. "Good. I'm going to use your vine to pull you up. Try to keep walking along the cliff. We'll do this slowly." With all the strength he could muster he began to pull on the vine. Cuts laced his hands and the blood and sweat made it harder to keep his grips. Once he had Kaiba a few feet from him, he let out a breath. Just a little further and he could get him up. He glanced at the vine and dreaded seeing it stripping apart. He prayed to all the gods that it would last a little longer.

The vine snapped halfway, causing Kaiba to loose grip in one of hands. He looked up at Jounouchi. "Let go before you fall with me."

"Like hell you selfish prick. I'm not leaving you to fall to your death. Keep your feet branched on the side. I'm coming down to get you," he said, tying what was left of the vine to the near by tree root. He slid down to the edge and lied on his stomach. He reached his one hand down while the other kept him firmly above. Their fingertips brushed just as the vine snapped completely. Without thinking he jumped off the edge after him. Neither one of them could think of anything. Jounouchi wrapped his body around Kaiba's anticipating the hard crash. He hoped that he could brace Kaiba enough so he would survive. The world needed him more than a poor, ex-gang member.

The hard crash never came. In fact, they landed on something that felt like a pillow before finally crashing into the water. They both fought with the pressure of the water until they finally surface. "You foolish man!" Kaiba shouted between coughs, splashing water at his lover. "What were you thinking?"

Jounouchi wrapped his arms around the brunet to prevent him from splashing him. "I was thinking that you are more beneficial for the world than me."

"And what about my world? How do you think I would feel if I survived and crushed you to death?"

"The same way I would have felt watching you plummet to your death. How did we even survive?"

Kaiba opened his mouth to reply when a net fell over his head, causing him to reenter the water. He swam back up, attempting to breathe but the net kept him from staying above the surface for longer than a second. He felt his body being pulled with the net. He collided with a hard surface, nearly knocking him unconscious. Chaos erupted around him. He could barely understand what was going on. Arms reached into the net and grabbed him. "Katsuya!" he shouted, attempting to find his lover, but the people kept pushing him through a hallway. He didn't know where he was but it swayed with the waves, concluding that he was on a boat. They pushed him one final time and he landed on his knees. A steel door slammed behind him. He turned rapidly around looking for Jounouchi but not finding him.

He quickly got up and pulled on the bars. "I want to speak to whoever is in charge now," he shouted, hoping someone would hear him. "Katsuya!" he called again, but he was left with nothing except the sound of waves crashing against the boat. He sighed and sat down on the ground, shivering. He worried that Jounouchi was left in the water or dragged somewhere else. He didn't want something happening to him when they were spared by some miracle.

He didn't know how long he sat there. The only thing he could see was the light fading through the window directly in front of his cell. "Katsuya," he mumbled pulling his legs up against his chest. Kaiba should be used to being alone, but it never made things easier. His only hope was that they weren't kidnapped by pirates even though that was the only situation he could think of. The light faded completely from the window. The CEO fought fatigue for as long as he could, but his tired, ill body refused to listen to him. He closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep on the wooden floor that swayed with the floating ship.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

These chapters will be a little longer than what I usually write only because I had a hard time finding a pausing point. I should have the next chapter out next week. Thank you all for reading. Please review.
