Chapter One
I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mike it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
With my home girl, Paula Abdul
"I'll never be able to love anyone!"
Seto Kaiba rubs his brother's back gently. His sapphire blue eyes look at the younger boy sympathetically. "That's not true, Mokuba. There's someone in this world for everyone. You just had a bad experience. You picked the wrong one. It's no big deal. You'll survive. You'll learn. You'll grow. You'll love again."
"All she wanted was sex! All anyone has ever wanted from me was sex and money!" Mokuba Kaiba grips his long black hair and tries to rip it from his head. His gray, slightly blue tinted, eyes glare at the floor in front of him.
"It'll be okay, Mokuba," says Seto gently prying his brother's hands from the silky locks. He tilts his brother's chin so that their eyes meet. "There are people who care about you for reasons that have nothing to do with sex or money."
"Yeah, right!" scoffs Mokuba, "If that were true, you would have been laid a hundred times by now!" He sighs. "I'm sorry, Seto. It's just that…"
"Just what?"
"It's just that I've been thinking maybe I should have taken her up on her offer," says Mokuba, "I miss the sex. I really, really miss the sex. And if I had decided to join her and her new boyfriend, I would have gotten the best deal… a girl to pound into and a guy to thrust into me."
"If you're that desperate for sex, I'll hire you a prostitute," says Seto.
Mokuba smiles lecherously. "Really? And one for yourself too?"
"Maybe," says Seto barely blushing.
"You aren't still a virgin, are you?"
"No! I like sex just as much as the next guy! I just don't have time for a messy relationship! And I don't like having sex with someone I don't care about!" Seto eyes up his brother with a raised eyebrow. "What is that look for?"
"Forget the prostitute!" exclaims Mokuba, "You'll do nicely!" He places a quick kiss to Seto's lips.
Seto takes a deep breath before plunging in and giving his younger brother a long, passionate kiss. He pulls out breathing heavily. "Don't think this is permanent. This is just until we find someone else. We will not be having a threesome."
"Deal," says Mokuba before grabbing a handful of Seto's chestnut locks and kissing his brother again, "As long as I get to take you as much as you get to take me."
"Agreed!" Seto pulls out of their kisses to stand with his younger brother in his arms.
"Bedroom, now!" exclaims Mokuba.
"That's exactly what I had in mind," says Seto carrying his brother up the stairs to his own bedroom. He tosses his brother onto the middle of his bed.
Mokuba pulls his shirt over his head. "Take off your clothes, Seto."
"I can't," whispers Seto, "It would spoil the mood." He crawls on top of Mokuba and kisses him deeply. He helps the younger boy out of his pants.
Mokuba doesn't say another thing as his brother finishes undressing him. He just moans wantonly while Seto's hands caress him. He nearly screams when a hot mouth surrounds his erection. He releases suddenly, without warning, and Seto sucks up all the cream before sitting upright and looking down on him. He takes a deep breath to calm his heart. "Seto, I know."
"Know what?"
"I know about the scars… about his punishments for you… I know everything," says Mokuba, "I know what he made you do in bed… what he made you do to protect me from him."
Seto turns away.
"It's all right, Seto," says Mokuba sitting up. "You can still find your person to love. There is someone out there who won't care about the scars."
"I know, Mokuba. I just don't think I'll find that person," says Seto, "I'm afraid I'll end up alone."
Mokuba pulls Seto into his arms and cuddles up to him. "You won't."
Seto lowers them both to the bed and covers their bodies, one completely clothed and one nude, with part of the blanket they lay on. He kisses Mokuba's cheek. "Sleep now, little brother."
"Thank you, big brother, for everything," whispers Mokuba before falling asleep.
Seto rests his head on Mokuba's shoulder and closes his eyes to fall asleep as well, ignoring the erection between his legs.

Chapter Two
Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.
"I would like to believe that there is good in everyone," says Yugi Motou quietly, "but sometimes, I just don't know. You haven't been very trustworthy in the past."
"I know. I blame the Pharaoh for that," says Marik Ishtar. He twists one of his sandy blond locks around a tan finger. "It wasn't his fault exactly that I was created. But it was methods imposed on his people that drove Malik crazy and caused me to be born of his psychosis. That doesn't mean that…"
Soft amethyst eyes turn away from Marik's hardened purple ones. "You deserve a second chance…"
"You're right. It's too much to hope for," says Marik standing up. "I guess I'll go then."
"Yeah… maybe that's best," says Yugi, "After all, if you're going to be picking me up for a date tonight, then I need time to get ready. These spikes don't stay up on their own, you know!" He pats his tri-colored hair and smiles.
Marik blinks a few times and then settles on staring at Yugi in shock. "What?"
"You do deserve a second chance," says Yugi, "and I'm willing to give it to you, Marik. Please, don't make me regret it."
"You won't!" exclaims Marik pulling Yugi into his arms for a quick embrace.
"Good," says Yugi giving Marik a chaste kiss.
"The Pharaoh isn't going to try to kill me for going out with you, is he?" asks Marik suddenly.
Yugi laughs. "He doesn't get any say in who I date! He can't do anything to you!"
"Good. So… what time should I pick you up?" asks Marik, "Or would you prefer we just leave now and go catch a movie?"
"I'd like a movie," says Yugi grabbing Marik's hand and pulling him out of the living room and through the back door.
"A little eager, aren't you?" asks Marik running alongside Yugi.
Yugi blushes.
"Well, don't be too eager!" exclaims Marik smiling, "I don't want you to be disappointed."
"You couldn't disappoint me," says Yugi, "Just don't you go expecting to be laid on the first date!"
"I wouldn't dream of it!" says Marik, "What about the second?"
Yugi blushes.
"I'm kidding."
"Too bad. You probably could have convinced me!"
Marik blushes. "Maybe, if you approve of tonight, I might take you up on that tomorrow."
Yugi laughs. "Do you always flirt like this?"
"Only with people who interest me."
"Okay… so… tell me about your dreams," says Yugi, "What do you want from the future?"
"Other than sex? I'll go for money, power," says Marik, "and a fast motorcycle. There's nothing more thrilling than racing the wind!" He sees Yugi nod. "You're going to run that game shop eventually, aren't you?"
"I really hope to run the shop. I love games!" exclaims Yugi, "That's what my name means, you know. Yugi… games…"
"It suits you," says Marik wrapping his arms around Yugi and leading him into the theater so they can buy their tickets and go see the movie.

Chapter Three
I take things serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Rebecca Hawkins giggles. "Stop!"
"Why?" Malik Ishtar looks at Rebecca with a mischievous smile.
"It tickles!" exclaims Rebecca thrashing about on the ground as Malik tickles her sides.
"That's the point!" exclaims Malik.
"Malik! Stop!"
Malik pulls his hands away and pouts, his amethyst eyes dimming.
"Oh, Malik, don't go pouting on me!" exclaims Rebecca smoothing down her shirt, "You know that I hate to be tickled!"
Malik's lower lip quivers.
"Don't tickle me again," says Rebecca before leaning in and kissing Malik's lips.
Malik's hands trail up Rebecca's sides as he kisses her, slowly lifting her shirt up.
Rebecca giggles as she pulls back. "Malik!"
"Rebecca…"
Rebecca quickly pulls her shirt over her head, mussing her blond hair as she does. "Now you better not tickle me this time!"
"Fine!" Malik grins lecherously as he pounces on Rebecca and starts kissing her neck. Both his hands grope her small breasts through the fabric of her bra. He doesn't notice Rebecca's hand lifting his shirt until she pushes him away to pull it over his sandy colored head of hair. "Does this mean you're ready to play with Mr. Wiggle?"
"Why do you always act like you haven't taken my virginity already?" asks Rebecca bending her arms behind her back to unclasp her bra. She throws the white lingerie across the room and reaches to the button and zipper holding her skirt on.
"Because each time you're with Mr. Wiggle, it feels like the first time!" exclaims Malik removing his own pants to kneel, in just his tight thong, before Rebecca.
"That is such a ridiculous name for your dick, Malik!"
Malik pouts. He pulls Rebecca's skirt down her legs and throws it away. "But I like it. And you liked it last time too."
"I liked the dick, not the name!"
"But Becky-wecky!"
Rebecca smiles at Malik's childish nickname for her. She slides her underwear off and drops it off the edge of the bed. "Fine! Let Mr. Wiggle out to play."
Malik stands quickly and yanks his thong off before lying down beside Rebecca and kissing her lips again.
Rebecca grabs Malik and pulls him on top of her while they kiss. She spreads her legs to give him easy access to her innermost recesses.
Malik takes the invitation willingly, and slides his already erect 'Mr. Wiggle' into Rebecca's waiting passage.
Rebecca moans just the way Malik likes it and wraps her legs around his waist to anchor him within her even as he begins to thrust in and out.
"So hot…"
"Fuck… fuck… fuck…"
Malik thrusts in once more before releasing inside his girlfriend.
Rebecca throws her head from side to side as Malik's seed sears her insides, combining with her own sexual discharges. She gasps for air before kissing Malik full on the lips. "That was great…"
Malik withdraws from Rebecca's warmth. "Yeah, I guess…"
Rebecca sits up. "Neither one of us is really happy with this, are we?"
Malik sits up beside Rebecca and embraces her. "You've noticed?"
"I don't love you."
"I don't love you."
"I thought we could make it work without loving each other, but it doesn't. It's just sex between friends. We both want more," whispers Rebecca.
"I want someone else," says Malik suddenly, "and I know who… He just… He couldn't want me in return."
Rebecca kisses Malik. "You can make him love you. I know you can."
Malik laughs insanely. "As if…"
"I'm sorry." Rebecca sighs and leans against Malik.

Chapter Four
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
Cuz I move slowly
And baby I'm fast
Ishizu Ishtar leans up against the tree. "Are you a dog or a cat?"
"Ha, ha, ha!" exclaims Joey Wheeler jumping down from the branch he was sitting on. "I'm not a dog or a cat or whatever."
"I know. You just like the view from up there," says Ishizu. She raises a slender eyebrow. "Help me up?"
Joey smiles, and his honey-brown eyes sparkle with mirth. "Only because you're my girlfriend, though!"
Ishizu starts to climb the tree with Joey helping her along. They make it up to the branch Joey had been on before her arrival, and they sit down together. She smiles. "It is nice up here."
"Yeah," says Joey running his hand through his unruly blond hair, "I really like this tree. You can see things from a different angle up here, and I don't mean just the world around you. You seem to get a different perspective on life in general."
"I know what you mean," says Ishizu, "It's made me realize something."
"What's that?" replies Joey looking into his girlfriend's blue eyes.
"That there's no good reason why we haven't kissed yet."
Joey blushes, and he notices Ishizu's tan cheeks blushing as well. "Did you want to then?"
Ishizu fiddles with her black hair, which today she has up high on her head in an uncharacteristic ponytail. "Yes?"
Joey leans towards Ishizu and reaches out to touch her cheek. "Am I moving too fast for you?"
"No… I think right now, we're moving at the same speed!" exclaims Ishizu moving forwards so that her lips meet Joey's.
"Oh, my God! Joey and Ishizu sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, and then comes Ishizu pushing a baby carriage!" exclaims Mokuba from the base of the tree.
Joey pulls away from Ishizu blushing beet red. "Hey! Quit acting like a peeping tom, you brat!"
"What did you call my brother, mutt?" asks Seto stepping up behind his brother.
Joey jumps down from the branch. "I called him a brat and a peeping tom! You should teach your brother some manners!"
"And someone needs to teach you to mind your place!" exclaims Seto glaring at Joey.
"You want to try it, moneybags!" exclaims Joey.
"Joey! Help me down!" calls Ishizu.
Joey turns towards the tree branch again. He smiles up at the Egyptian woman. "Jump! I'll catch you!"
Ishizu bites her lower lip, but then she smiles and jumps down into Joey's waiting arms.
Joey sets Ishizu down so that she can stand on her own.
"Maybe someone has taught you your place," says Seto with a smirk, "You make a nice slave, mutt!"
Joey spins around and swings his fist at Seto.
"Joey, no!" exclaims Ishizu grabbing Joey's arm, "Don't fight him!"
Joey glares at Seto then he turns his eyes to Ishizu. "Why the hell not?"
"Because I know the future, Joey, some of it anyway, and I don't want you to hurt yourself," says Ishizu looking at the ground sadly, "Please, don't fight him."
Joey sighs and pulls Ishizu into his arms. "Okay… for you."
"Nice to see you finally on a leash!" exclaims Seto, "Come on, Mokuba!"
"Joey and Ishizu, sitting in a tree…" sings Mokuba.
Mokuba and Seto walk off together to leave Joey and Ishizu alone beneath the branches and leaves of the tree.
"What's wrong, Ishizu?" whispers Joey, "What have you seen in the future?"
"I'm happy with you. You know I'm happy with you, don't you?"
"Yes. I know you're happy."
"I've seen glimpses of the future, yours and mine. We were not together in them," says Ishizu as her eyes begin to well with tears, "but I am happy with you, and I don't wish for that future to be real…"
"Then we'll fight it for our happiness!" exclaims Joey. He wipes Ishizu's eyes dry.
Ishizu presses her lips to Joey's again.

Chapter Five
I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out
Tea Gardner dances around on the stage, her arms and legs moving gracefully even as her short brown hair flies about her face.
"So I guess you like your present then, huh?" Duke Devlin smiles and twirls his dice earring.
"I love it!" exclaims Tea with a final spin before she runs into Duke's arms and kisses him. "This dance studio rocks!"
"I'm glad you approve, and with it being on my Game Shop's top floor, I'll get to see you whenever you come here to use it," says Duke.
Tea smiles as she plays with the end of Duke's black ponytail. "I guess that's true. You didn't have some ulterior motive to building this for me, did you?"
"Ulterior motive? Me?" Duke blushes, but he doesn't say anything else.
"You just want to see me in some skimpy outfit, don't you?"
"No! No! No, I mean, that would be nice too, but that wasn't the reason I built this!" exclaims Duke quickly.
"Then what?" asks Tea sliding closer to Duke, "What was your fantasy?"
"I just wanted to make you happy," says Duke quietly, "That was it. I wanted to do something for you that no one else could. Because I really like you."
"Thank you, Duke," says Tea kissing him again, "This was very sweet."
"So go on and dance! I have a complete collection of music in here for you! You can dance to whatever genre you want to! Have fun! I'm just going to sit down and do a little work while watching you for awhile!" exclaims Duke motioning towards the laptop computer in its carrying case by the door.
"Okay!" exclaims Tea pulling off her jacket and moving over to the stereo system. She programs in her music choice and starts to dance seductively.
Duke sits down with his laptop and tries to look at the screen, but he sees mostly the brunette girl twirling before him.

Chapter Six
I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
"I like you, Tristan."
"To tell you the truth, I always thought you liked Joey."
"Joey? Joey reminds me of my little brother!" exclaims Mai Valentine brushing a strand of long blond hair away from her violet eyes, "He might even be my little brother!"
"Huh?" asks Tristan Taylor with widening brown eyes.
"I was adopted by the Valentine's," says Mai, "My mother was unmarried when she had me. She got pregnant by her boyfriend when I was seven, and he agreed to marry her to raise the child together, but he didn't want me. The Valentine's were my mother's best friends, and they loved me, so they adopted me. Then my mom and little brother moved away with the new guy. So every blond haired boy reminds me of my brother."
"That is so wrong!" exclaims Tristan pulling Mai into his arms, "Does Joey know that cause I think he might have a crush on you?"
"He knows," says Mai running her hands through Tristan's brown hair, "and yes, he does have a crush on me, but he thinks of me as a big sister too."
"So he won't be upset about us dating?" asks Tristan astonished.
"Well… he might get a little protective, but I don't think he'd be upset." Mai blushes.
"And the age difference doesn't bother you? You're eight years older than I am…"
"It doesn't bother me," says Mai pressing her lips up against Tristan's just enough so that they brush together when she speaks, "Does my age bother you, Tristan? We don't have to be more than friends if you think I'm too old for you. We could certainly wait a year or two."
Tristan presses his lips fully against Mai's and kisses her intensely. He pulls away with a smile. "If it doesn't bother you then it doesn't bother me! Besides, we never know what would happen in a year or two. I'm willing to give this a shot."
Mai kisses Tristan again and holds him close to her. She lifts one of his hands to rest over her breast.
Tristan smirks into the kiss.

Chapter Seven
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
Solomon Motou stares at the spirit in front of him. "What?"
"It's not that unusual a request, is it?" The spirit who looks exactly like a more determined Yugi Motou cocks his head to the side. Yami Motou looks at the older man with crimson eyes.
"Actually, it is. The relationship lines might have been more relaxed in Egypt, but in this time it is still not widely accepted for two men to be together in a relationship," says Solomon, "And it is certainly not acceptable for a man as old as myself to be involved with someone as young as you."
"I'm five thousand years old."
"You look eighteen, and that's all that matters in this day and age."
"So you won't have sex with me?"
Solomon's violet eyes dim as he sighs. "No. I'm too old for sex! I didn't get this gray hair for nothing."
"Oh…" Yami runs a hand through his tri-colored spikes. "Okay, I guess. I'll find someone else."
"Yami… you shouldn't be looking for someone to have sex with. You should be looking for someone you can love. If you find someone you can love, then the sex will follow," says Solomon smiling.
"I'll think about that!" exclaims Yami smiling, "Thank you. There is still a lot I need to learn about your time!"
