Title: Another Lesson

Series: Part 02 of Entangled. Takes place about two months after the conclusion of Catnip Dream.

Summary: Yami asks Kaiba to tutor him, but it's going to take some convincing to get him to agree.

Pairings: Kaiba x Yami

Rating: Starts off T for language and slanted situations, progresses to M for heated encounters. This means that there will be graphic lemons in later chapters, but I will always post a warning at the beginning to let you know when and to what extent they will be present.

Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! does not and never has belonged to me.

Chapter 01: A Simple Request

Kaiba could already feel the onset of a headache as he walked through the school hallways in search of the empty classroom he had taken to using during lunch. The final prototype of the new Duel Disk was close to completion and when Kaiba wasn't on the phone with the development team, he was talking to the marketing department. They were still in a deadlock over whether to speed up the launch to coincide with the opening of the Dueling Dragon ride at Kaiba Land this summer or take the extra time and hold a winter tournament between Christmas and New Years to maximize the holiday sales.

He was inclined to wait for a winter release because it gave more time for product testing and marketing opportunities, but he could also understand the benefits of a summer release as well. Maybe they could do a limited release to duelists participating in the summer tournament and then release it to the general public in winter? No, that would only lead to knock off versions and lost revenues, so there had to be some other option.

Slipping into the classroom in the hopes of getting the call over with quickly, Kaiba somehow wasn't surprised to see Yami standing by the window. "What are you doing here?" Kaiba asked as he slid the door close, his voice sounding exhausted even to his own ears.

Turning around with a smile, Yami's expression faltered when he saw how tired Kaiba looked. "Is everything okay?" he asked as he walked over to Kaiba.

"Everything's fine," Kaiba said dismissively, even though they both knew that it wasn't an entirely true statement. "I have a conference call, so if you'll excuse me…"

Recognizing that Kaiba was in business mode, Yami knew that distracting him wasn't going to be easy. "I just wanted to ask for a…favor, I guess you could call it," Yami told him with a lingering kiss when he was finish speaking.

Sighing heavily, Kaiba gave Yami the option, "Make it quick or ask me later."

Somewhat surprised that he was even given a choice, Yami decided to take advantage of the offer. "Tutor me."

Without hesitating, Kaiba refused with a definitive, "No."

"Why not?" Yami asked as he tried not to pout.

"Like I have the time to waste?" Kaiba questioned curtly with a snort. "If you want better grades, try paying attention in class for once."

Yami's grin ruined the effect of his protest, "Hey! I pay attention."

"To the teacher rather than some perverted fantasy," Kaiba quipped, earning him an eye roll.

"I don't just fantasize in class," Yami retorted before playfully adding, "sometimes I sleep, too."

Aware of the fact that he was getting pulled into Yami's pace, Kaiba decided that he could spare a few more minutes before calling into the office. "And why would that make me want to tutor you?"

Ignoring the sarcastic barb, Yami wrapped his arms around Kaiba's waist as he murmured, "I can make it worthwhile."

"Doubtful," Kaiba said, even as he enjoyed the feeling of Yami's lips against his neck.

Going up on tiptoe for a proper kiss, Yami questioned seductively, "What if I ask nicely?"

"The last time you, 'asked nicely,' for something, we ended up missing not only lunch, but all of sixth period and half of seventh as well," Kaiba retorted with a scowl.

Chuckling at the memory, Yami defended himself, "It's not like you didn't enjoy it."

"That's not the point," Kaiba told him as he swatted Yami's hand away from trying to undo his shirt buttons. "And we almost got caught last time because you couldn't stay quiet."

Yami knew that they had lucked out when the teacher that had walked in on them thought that the noises and flushed faces were a result of them fighting. He was pretty sure that would never be an issue again since Kaiba had ended up traumatizing the poor man with a rather thorough verbal lashing for having the audacity to interrupt them. "I'll be quiet," Yami promised as his hands sought out Kaiba's ass, "so quiet that you won't even know that I'm here."

Involuntarily groaning at the insistent grope, Kaiba muttered, "Not possible."

"Am I really that distracting?" Yami asked with a wicked grin as he started slowly grinding his hips against Kaiba's.

"Sometimes," Kaiba begrudgingly admitted in the hopes of appeasing Yami so that he could be left in peace. "Now leave so I can get this damn conference call over with."

"I'd rather stay."

Rolling his eyes, Kaiba said, "Don't care. Now get out."

"What if I promise to behave?"

"I am not falling for that again," Kaiba growled, still annoyed with himself for getting trapped in that loophole once already. Yami had promised to behave—he just never specified how he would behave. Unfortunately Kaiba had learned that the hard way when Yami had disrupted a teleconference with an amazing blowjob that had his cock stirring to life at the mere memory of it.

Smirking as he too remembered the incident, Yami offered, "And if I agree not to do that this time?"

"No, because you'll do something even worse," Kaiba told him, not putting it past Yami for a second.

"I won't even touch you," Yami said as he took two steps back from Kaiba.

Even though Kaiba didn't see any hint of a trick in Yami's eyes, he still had his doubts based on prior behavior. "You would probably say something like, 'I agreed not to touch you, but I didn't say anything about licking you,' so no," Kaiba said, becoming annoyed with the delay. "Shit, you should be a fucking lawyer with the way you use technicalities…"

Pouting as he took a seat on a nearby desk, Yami asked, "There, is this better? I can't even reach you from here." Damn businessmen and their logic, he thought to himself, although he was amused by Kaiba's comment.

Kaiba didn't understand Yami's insistence on staying, but he wasn't having any of it. "You're leaving and that's final."

"What could I possibly do to you from here?"

"Start jerking off while I'm trying to concentrate?" Kaiba accused him.

Laughing at the idea, Yami teased, "I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to remember it for next time…"

"Damn it, Yami!" Kaiba swore, crossing his arms as he glared angrily. "That wasn't a fucking suggestion!"

Deciding against antagonizing Kaiba further, Yami hopped off of the desk and frowned when he saw the way the other tensed up at the approach. "Fine, I'll leave," Yami finally acquiesced, glad to see those words caused Kaiba to relax a little. "I should know better than to mess with you when you're in business mode."

"That hasn't stopped you before."

Yami only chuckled at that remark as he smiled up at Kaiba. "Make your phone call. We'll talk about this later," Yami told him before adding, "and try to get something to eat, okay?"

Catching Yami's wrist before he could walk away, Kaiba got his revenge with a tantalizingly slow kiss that had the other melting against him. Allowing himself a moment to linger as his tongue worked against Yami's, Kaiba was quick to pull away before he forgot himself altogether. "I'll see you in a few hours," Kaiba said in a husky voice next to Yami's ear before nipping at it lightly.

Groaning in protest as Kaiba pulled away, Yami's initial response was interrupted when the cell phone started ringing. It never failed to amaze Yami how quickly Kaiba could revert back to sound like a C.E.O. "What?" he answered harshly, all previous traces of emotion gone. "Go ahead and patch me through."

Impishly placing one final kiss on Kaiba's neck, Yami whispered, "See you later," enjoying the shiver it produced in response. Yami left Kaiba to his phone call, shutting the door behind him as he went to go search for his friends and some food.

A/N: Sometimes their conversations remind me of duels with the way they're always trying to outmaneuver each other. XD

Hopefully you enjoyed the first chapter of the sequel to Catnip Dream! It's a little on the shorter side, but I thought it was a nice way of easing into things. What to expect in the future? The focus will be on furthering Kaiba and Yami's relationship, but the others get to join in, too. Jounouchi gets a bit of a break (for now, haha) and I can promise for those who were still curious about Bakura, he'll be showing up before too long to stir up some stuff. He's good for that, ne? XD There will be minor references to ancient Egypt stuff, but the most important past will be Kaiba's with Gozaburo in this story.

NEXT CHAPTER: Determination

Yami refuses to give up on his goal of getting Kaiba to tutor him, but his plan backfires. Unable to understand, what should he do?

That chapter will be posted on Sunday, May 25th.

Before that, I will be posting the first part of the sequel to Everywhen, Everywhere this Wednesday, May 21st. It will be called Whenever, Wherever and will be rated M from the start for themes and sexual content. Whenever will reference Everywhen quite a bit, so if you haven't read it first, you will probably be quite lost. I will make notes about certain points in the manga that I reference for those of you who aren't familiar with where it differs from the anime, though. The first chapter will focus on Kaiba's departure in episode 97 that coincides with volume 31 of the manga.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it! Also, please be sure to keep an eye out for the new story as well.
