Thank all you guys that have been reviewing my other story it really means alot. Here's something new and different. I got this idea at about 12 last night and I just had to write it cause you hardly ever see YGO western's, actually you never do.XD So without further mindless ramblings from me, here it is 'Western Romance'.
-Insert western music-
Disclaimer: I don't own
Summary: Seto is a notorius bandit and Yami is his unwilling captive, can the two form a strange kind of friendship? Can love blossom out in the West where it is just so dry?
Chapter 1: It's always worse
The sun had barely began to rise and it was already over 99 scorching, hot degrees outside in the fragile town of Paterny. The place could hardly be called a town anymore on account of the vicious criminals that had taken residance within it's borders. 'Outlaws' that was their name and that's what they truely were.
Four years to this day, thats when all the towns troubles had first started. Ever since the outlaws came into town, it had not prospered at all because merchants were afraid to even cross the country border. The thing of it was, this had once been a bustling thriving town, full of laughter and great cheer and streets paved with milk and honey so to speak.
Sadly, the truth of the matter was, even if the outlaws hadn't come along when they had the town still probably wouldn't be that prosperous due to the fact that there had been a severe drought for the past eleven months and production just wasn't what it used to be. So the town was damned either way because if the outlaws hadn't got um the drought sure would'of.
Paterny had a meek population of about 230 or so due to the fact that the outlaws kept everyone in check and made sure that the town was run however they desired it to be run which basically meant that they had done away with anyone that had tried to oppose them in the earlier years. Paterny now mostly consisted of women and children and senile old men. All the young men had either been done off with or banished from town.
Among the fifty outlaws that inhabited the town. The most regarded were Bakura'the grappler', a killer feared among most who had ever heard the name and lived to tell the tale. He had a quick temper and wouldn't hesitate to kill a man whether he was a comrad or not. Marik 'the bron', quick, fast and struck like lightning. Though he was considered calmer than Bakura he was also someone that you might want to look out for. Standing at a strapping 6' 1, he never failed to intimidate his enemy's and had a nasty way of proving that he didn't know the meaning of the word fear.
Among the two it was hard to say who was better at guns since both had skills that were severely accurate, but one thing was for sure, both knew better than to think twice about even thinking of going against their leader who was rumored to have killed over 200 men. Seto Kaiba, was his name and he was as bad assed as they came. He would sooner kill a man than look at him.
He was untouchable, moving from small town to town doing what him and his crew had done to the once prosperous town of Paterny. Seto had a 50,000 dollar bounty on his head, but the strange thing is that he had never even been close to getting caught. Local sheriffs were too afraid to even touch him because they knew that even if they miraculously managed to take him down, there would still be over 50 men on the loose who wouldn't even think twice about killing them for their leader.
Kaiba was a smart man, a lethal mix of brains and bron which is how he stayed out of trouble in the earlier years when he was still new to the game. He had started down the wrong path at the early age of 17, with no family or turn to it wasn't hard for him to figure out that sometimes in life you have to switch sides in order to just stay alive and once he got a taste of the sweet life it was just too hard to turn back.
He had started out being nothing more than one of the members of the band because when he came along there had already been a previous leader. That problem had been taken care of easily due to a shoot out. Let's just say that after this, people knew better than to mess with the Kaiba name.
March 23rd 1863
The land was just so dry, so barren Kaiba honestly didn't know how much more he could suck out of this poor town. This drought hadn't really been the easiest thing to deal with either, the heat made people... crazy.
He was cheif, head pocho, leader of the gang, it had been four years since they had migrated to this town. It was so hard to believe that up to three years ago this place had been considered a 'hot spot' meaning it had been a wealthy little town earning most of their wealth through imports and exports and other 'legal' means. Then he had come along and took it all away. At this thought, a crude smile made it's way known on Seto's handsom features.
"Sir, the Governer of Jamestown is ready to talk," said one or another of the nameless men that accompanied Seto in his path of destruction.
"Good, send him in."
The man dissapeared out of the room for a minute and when he returned he was accompanied by a middle aged man around the age of 45.
"Ah, Governer," began Seto as he eyed the man as a predator would eye his prey, "I understand that you're ready to talk after our little 'persuasion'.
"Persuasion, you practically burned down half my town!"
" If you think that's bad it can always get worse, give me what I ask and no further harm will come to you, or your town" added Seto as an afterthought.
"Why should I believe you, the word of an outlaw, and besides that fact I've already told you sir that I simply cannot meet your demands."
"Well, I'm sure we could... work something out."
"Sir, you've taken all I have what more do I or my poor town for that matter have that you could possibly ever want?" asked the Governer in desperation.
The moment these words left his mouth, he immediately regretted it, he could practically see the evil little wheels in Seto's head turning.
These were just the words Seto was waiting to hear, he already knew what he wanted before the words had even left his mouth. He had been thinking about it for some time now.
"You know, the life of an outlaw can be a lonely one..."
"NO"
"It would be nice for once to feel the soft touch of ... a woman after a long day of taking care of the town," The man stared at Seto in horror because by now, he had already basically figured out what was about to be asked, more like demanded of him and in truth he had expected it soon or later when he couldn't pay Seto his 25,000 a month.
"Please sir not the women"
"Governor, I'm surprised at you trying to keep them all to yourself now that's just greedy," "Don't worry, I won't take all your precious women, all I ask is that you give me five of your very best my choice of course."
At hearing this the Governor sighed in relief, it wasn't that he was happy with the situation in all truths his hands were tied. Seto had only asked for five women, it was something he could do. Considering all the power he had the Governer knew better than to decline because he knew that being with Seto was better than being against him.
"So what is your answer Governer?," asked an impatient Seto.
"Very well"
"Good, I shall be taking a trip to Jamestown in 2 days, until then have them ready."

The local Benzinery
"This town fucking sucks," complained an angry Bakura while downing his second shot of cheap Vodka.
"When are we gonna leave?" Asked a slightly drunken Marik.
"I don't fucking know but somethings gotta fuckin give, we been here for four years now!"
"Even the whores here don't excite me much anymore, now you know there's something wrong with that cause there's nothing better than a cheap whore."
"Amen, brother" Agreed Bakura.
"Arn't we suppose to be going to Jamestown tomarrow or somethin'
"Oh yeah, Seto said somethin bout getting his pay by alternate means."
"Damn, that guy stops at nothing, wonder what it is,"
"I don't really give a fuck, I'm drunk and this damn benzene is giving me a fuckin migraine," At this Bakura stood, albeit a little shakily and made his way slowly out the door even in his slightly drunken state people knew better than to fuck with him.
Marik just stared on at his friend and finished off his drink. Now there was only one thing to do, find a bitch and a bed.
----------------------------------------------------
Jamestown
"What the fuck are we going to Jamestown for Kaiba, whatever it is why not just have them bring it to us?" Asked an irritated Bakura, it wasn't his fault it was just he had a MOTHER-fuckin hangover.
"I'm picky," answered Kaiba truthfully.
"What is there to be picky about, whatever it is it better be fuckin fantastic," said Marik always having to put in his two cents.
"Trust me gentlemen, it will be"
---------------------------------------------------
"Father, this is so inhumaine, how can you just trade them in like their cattle or something," complained Yami, the Governers son.
"Son, I'm not happy about this situation either, but it's all I can do to keep the rest of the town safe, keep you safe."
" I know but still..."
"No Yami, I will not see you hurt, I'll do anything to prevent that," said the Governer with a serious expression on his face.
"Father, someone should do something about them, they can't just do this to innocent people."
"No one want's to do anything my son, they have all the sheriffs scared and anyone even strong enough to bring them down is working for them."
"What can we do," Asked Yami with a bewildered expression on his pretty face.
"No Yami, WE are not going to do anything, YOU are going to stay out of their way for the duration of their visit, understand?"
"But father..."
"Yami, no but's, I will not see you getting hurt I would rather die," " YOU WILL stay out of sight is that clear?" Asked the Governer with a serious expression on his features.
"Yes sir" He would do as his father asked and stay out of sight, but he would not stay away.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A grand banquet had been held in their honor, or more like to make sure that they stayed on the right side of the fence. The dinner had been nothing short of spectacular, they really didn't deserve it.
"So governer, shall we begin the festivities?" Asked Seto.
The Governor put on a charming smile, it was all he could do to hide his disgust and contempt for the man.
"Sure"
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Yami what are you doing," Asked Anzu, one of Yami's close friends."Your father gave you strict orders to stay hidden"
"And I am, I just want to see"
"We're going to get caught Yami, I don't want to get in trouble"
"We are not going to get caught, well at least if you shut up we won't," Said Yami pointing an accusing glare at Anzu.
"Ok, just be careful."
"Arn't you coming?"
"No I'll keep watch" Yami just rolled his eyes, he knew the real reason was that she was terrified but he wouldn't hold it against her after all, he was sort of a daredevil.
------------------------------------------------------
"Damn!" These girls make the ones in Paterny look like shi..." Bakura never got to finish on account of the fact that he was interrupted by Kaiba.
"Will you have a little class!"
"Ok Governer, I'll take her, her" Seto stopped to weigh his options, "Her and..."
"You animal!"
It was as if the world had just stopped turning in that one moment as everyone turned to see the governers son pointing an accusing finger at Seto. So much for staying hidden. Yami was so furious it was in that moment that he decided that he had to do something, it just wasn't right! Who were they to think that they could just come in here and take away his home. He would teach them a lesson.
In that one moment, Seto was willing to bet everything he had, which was alot, that he had never seen anything so gorgeous in his life. He never knew that another man could be described as beautiful and this was proving that there was undoubtedly an acception to the rule. This boy made the other girl look like unlit candles in a room full of glowing light bulbs (which wern't even invented yet!)
"SLAP!"
Seto didn't even know what hit him, well he had an idea but it was too far fetched to believe. No one ever dared... No one ever thought... NO one ever ...
"Yami!" Exclaimed the Governer with fear evidant in his voice. "Please forgive him, he's not well he hasn't been taking his medication..."
"Father I feel fine, someone has to teach these dogs a lesson" Exclaimed Yami with fire in his eyes.
Seto had gotten over his momentary shock and was now staring at Yami with something he couldn't quite place.
"Governer, it seems there is to be a slight change of plans, instead of these women I will take..." At this Seto paused a moment to take a look around and with a more than innocent look, his eyes landed on Yami, "Him"
"I like them feisty"
-------------------
