Something didn't feel right. I couldn't place what had suddenly begun to bother me. It felt as though there was a weight being pressed down on me. I felt like everyone knew something was going on and I was clueless to it. I tried so hard to convince myself that it was just the dream that was causing these feelings but I couldn't shake it. I've had nightmares before but this felt like a memory not just an unpleasant dream. I could feel the sweat on my skin. A strong musky taste in my mouth coupled with a shooting pain. I felt used passed the point of exhaustion but there was no stopping what was or had happened. Even now my body felt exhausted from the dream.

I went through my entire shift without incident thought my mind wasn't really there. I didn't even realize Mokuba and Katsuya enter the café until after I greeted them.

"Good afternoon masters." I said with a bow, "Would you like your late afternoon tea on the patio today?" When I looked up I locked eyes with my brother, who was just as uncomfortable as I was but Katsuya was grinning like an idiot, "This is awkward."

"I like it." Katsuya marveled.

I turned to lead them to the patio, which was actually the second floors balcony. Mokuba seemed on the fence about actually being waited on by me but Katsuya was enjoying it too much. I prepared and poured their tea, Green for Katsuya and English for Mokuba with three sugar and milk. Katsuya ordered just a slice of cake of himself and a chocolate parfait for Mokuba. I was less than pleased with that but that asshole knew I couldn't say anything about it.

The sizes of the desserts were pretty large and my heart was pounding just thinking about how the amount of sugar that was in the parfait was going to do to my brother. I had a few other tables on the patio that I was tending so my focus wasn't on the future sugar high Mokuba would have. As I was pouring another cup of English tea for guest I looked across the street and saw Yugi. I looked away as I set the tea down expecting him to be gone, but he was still there. Staring.

"You have beautiful hands." The man I just poured tea for said as he held onto my hand, "Much too elegant for this sort of work."

"Thank you very much…Master." I said as I tried pulling my hand from him. I really hate being grabbed by strangers and he wouldn't let go.

"You know you calling me master feels so right." He told me as though he was trying to freak me out, "I'd love to take you sometime."

"Excuse me!" I snapped as I yanked my hand away from him.

"How about it? I'm sure I can make you feel better than that blond does." He cut his eyes at over where Katsuya and Mokuba sat. Katsuya was staring daggers at him having heard my outburst, "It's amazing how the future can be altered by something as simple as memory loss. It's actually shocking you took the easy way out rather than work through the problems. I can see how the actions of the past and affect someone's future."

Before Katsuya or I could say or do anything. One of the other butlers working the patio cut in.

"It's time that you leave sir." He insisted as he pulled the man's chair out for him, "Please allow me to show you the door." He added as gestured towards the exit.

He locked eyes with me and threw a wick smile towards me, "It seems to me that I've caused a scene." He shifted his glaze to look pass me and smiled, "So it begins. I'm sure you'll see me tonight." He said lowly but just loud enough for me to hear.

I turned to see what he had been looking at but there was no one there.

As the three of us were walking home Katsuya went on and on about how weird the guy had been and that he had classes with him.

"He didn't have that creeper vibe in class. We've been paired up a few times for assignments. Guess he knows how to behave himself in school just not outside of it." Katsuya

"Jonouchi, did you tell him anything about us?" I asked since my brother was at least a half block ahead of us, "He mentioned you."

"He did?" he seemed shocked, "I swear I never did."

"Then how would he know?" I questioned hoping he'd just fuss up to bragging about how many times a week he gets laid or his dick sucked, "Tell me the truth."

"This is the only truth I know." He told me, "I promise. I know you'd kill me if I went around bragging about of often I get my cock sucked."

I wasn't convinced. He knew it too. This was beginning to stress me out. Katsuya grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together and as he whisper in my ear, "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

"Let me go! Please!" I screamed as I was tied to what looked like a crumbling tombstone. There were large men, all with scars covering most of their body. They all had devilish looks on their faces as they made their approach.

"Where is your Pharaoh when you need him the most?" That voice asked, "It won't matter. He nor anyone else will want you after their done with you."

"Did you sleep alright?" Katsuya asked as he pulled his bed sheets off his bed, "Your breathing was really weird last night."

"Oh so when I breath it bothers you!" I snapped. I hadn't meant to snap at him but I once I had awoke from the dream I was too frightened to go back to sleep.

"Whoa! Take it easy. I tried waking you up a bunch of times last night."

"I'm sorry. I've been having a reoccurring dream lately." I told Katsuya as we were making the bed.

"It was a nightmare Seto not a dream. Want to talk about it." He asked, "If you tell someone your nightmares they won't happen again."

I thought about what I had seen and felt within the nightmare and quickly decided not to tell him. It was embarrassing and I had a feeling Katsuya, would either be his perverted self, I've seen his search history, or read way too much into it to the point of not being helpful in the least bit.

"I'd rather not talk about it. It's probably just something I saw in a movie or something." I explained as I picked out my clothes for the day. I could tell Katsuya wasn't happy with my decision but he didn't push the issue.

"Okay." He said as he got dressed for school, "I'm here if you wanna talk about anything."

It was at that moment I remembered what happened at work the night before. I was shocked that I'd pushed the experience out of my mind so quickly and easily. He probably felt the nightmare had something to do with everything that happened, "You're worried about what happened last night?"

"Kinda, I'd rather you didn't get grabbed." Katsuya laughed as he masked his concern, "If I see him at school today I'll-"

"Do nothing." I snapped, "The last thing I need is you getting beaten up."

"What! Beaten up! Me?"

"You obviously don't know anything about your classmate. It's best you avoid him." I knew Katsuya wasn't going to listen. Despite his upbringing he was a thug at heart, and if he could pick a fight he would.

Work was completely uneventful except for the new standard issued pepper spray we were all instructed to carry on us on and off the clock. The owner had been informed about the harassment from the night before and didn't want her butlers and maids unarmed if something went from harassment to an actually attack.

I was finished with my shift as soon as Katsuya and Mokuba arrived much to their disappointment. As we headed out I saw Yugi across the street again. Our eyes met leaving no doubt that he had been staring at me the night before as well. Then something began to feel heavy in my chest as if something was invisible was pulling me away and willing me to approach him. I did my best to shrug it off but the feeling was still there.

I had volunteered to make dinner for the Jonouchi's which was much appreciated all around, but it was really just so I could practice making a few of the menu items from work, just in case a cook shift ever needed to be filled. Everyone seemed to enjoy dinner.

I helped Mokuba with his English assignment which was to write one page paper about his family. Papers like this were mainly so the teacher could get to know their students in a completely impersonal and inappropriate way in my opinion. Mokuba must have known how I felt because he omitted all orphanages and the foster care group home years, and focused more on the two of us living together.

After Mokuba had gone to bed I was in Katsuya's room searching through various apartments in the area, much to his disapproval.

"So you're back to moving out again?"

"What do you mean 'back to moving out'? This wasn't a permanent situation." I told him as I looked over at him from my place on the bed, "I need my own place."

"Think of how much money you'd save living here."

"No, I'd still would pay for Mokuba and myself. We're not moochers." I explained, "It's getting more awkward every day."

"My parents love you."

"They wouldn't if they knew I dropped out."

"If you lived here you could go back. With your test scores I'm sure you'd be able to get your scholarship back."

"What about my brother?"

"I'm sure we could figure that out. I mean does he have to go to that school? Maybe he can go to Shizuka's school."

"I can hardly afford his current school Katsuya."

"He could get a scholarship."

"Oh like the one we try to get every semester?" my sarcasm was not over looked.

"Sorry, you're going to miss a lot of opportunities in life if you don't finish."

"I've already missed a lot of opportunities Katsuya. A few more won't be a big deal."

"So if Mokuba got a scholarship you'd come back to school."

"Sure." I replied not really listening to him anymore, "There's a room for rent a few blocks from here and the rent is cheap." I quickly wrote the address down, "I'll check it out in the morning after I see Mokuba off."

I shut down Katsuya's lab top and slide it under his bed. As I got under the covers along with Katsuya, who instantly began to spoon me, his body heat brought me a pleasant level of comfort as I drifted off to sleep.

"You won't win!"

"You're mistaken. I've already won."

I sat up quickly in bed startling Katsuya in the process. He was watching me carefully waiting for me to speak or do something. But I found myself unable to do anything. My throat was dry and my limbs were as heavy as lead. He put his hand on my shoulder as he tried to bring me out of whatever games my mind was causing.

"What's bothering you?" he asked me softly," I can't help if you wouldn't let me."

We spent the rest of the night talking about my nightmares. I could tell he was shocked by how long I'd been having the series of nightmares. He did try to lighten the mood with a few jokes but overall I could tell he was wondering why I would dream about being raped my multiple men. I wish I had the answers but I didn't.

"At least now that you've told me you won't have the dreams anymore." Katsuya told me reassuringly.

"We'll see."

Mokuba was the only talkative one on the way to out today. I had a feeling that Katsuya was more bothered by the dreams that I've been having than he was letting on. I wouldn't be surprised if he was disgusted. I was disgusted with the dreams, with myself, the situation I've put my brother and myself in. My very existence disgusted me.

"I'll see ya later big brother." Mokuba called out to me at he ran to catch the train to school. I waved goodbye as he descended the stair to the train station. I turned my attention to Katsuya, who was patiently waiting for it; he was smiling at me for some reason.

"What's with the face?"

"I just wanna ask you something. I know we broke up a while ago but do you want to get back together?"

"Katsuya-"

"We're living together, hooking up still, walking together to school...and work. We're a couple without the title." Katsuya pointed out, "I really want to be in a relationship again."

"Katsuya I'm-" His finger pressed against my lips stopping me from speaking.

"Wait! Don't answer yet. Please just think it over." He said. Our eyes met just for a moment which was all he needed to close the gap. His lips pressed against mine was like a small break from all my worries in life, as our lips departed, I saw him again. He was standing across the street starting at us.

"Does Yugi live near here?"

"I swear I haven't been teasing him." Katsuya said defensively.

"No, I saw him while I was working the other night and again today." I said, "He just stood there….staring."

Katsuya turned around but Yugi had already moved on, "You sure he was staring?" I nodded, "I'll ask him about it. In the nicest way possible. It's probably a coincidence."

Katsuya left me outside the café I watched him leave for a moment before I darted across town. There was a room for rent a few blocks over and it was extremely affordable. I could only hope that it hadn't been rented yet.

Arriving at the address I realized the room for rent was attached to a game shop, "Kame Game. Interesting name." I thought as I walked inside.

"Hello and Good morning!" The obvious owner greeted, "Can I help you find something today?"

"I'm enquiring about the ad you have posted….for the room for rent?"

"Oh you're interested. Follow me. I'll show you." I followed the old man up a flight of stairs to a nice sized apartment above the small game shop, "You're more than welcome to use the kitchen and living room. This is the room you'll be sharing a joined bathroom with my grandson."

"How old his you're grandson?"

"He just turned seventeen."

"Oh a high school student." I wasn't so sure how Mokuba and I would handle sharing a bathroom with some random teen. But I really needed to get us moved out of Katsuya's family's home, "I'm interested but it's not just me."

"Oh, a girlfriend? I'm not too sure a lady would be too comfortable here." The old man said.

"No it's my little brother and I."

"Oh! Well that's perfectly fine."

"Really!"

"It'll be nice having a youngster around." The old man laughed as he held out his hand, "Seal it with a handshake? I'm Sugoroku Muto."

"I'm Seto-" I began to introduce myself as I cause a glance at the clock on a desk; "I'm going to be late. I really have to go now. When you want a deposit for the room?"

"We'll discuss that when you return. You don't want to be late do you?" I was a bit thrown off by how nice the old man was, not in a creepy way, since most of my interactions with older adults are typically negative. I thanked him before sprinting back over to my job to get dressed for my shift.

I tried not to think about the new place I'd found for Mokuba and I to stay, even though I was more than a little excited about it. I didn't mind sharing a bed with my brother despite the fact his hair was always choking me. I was a comfort knowing he was there.

Thinking back at our time at the orphanage every day I lived in fear, that a family would come to separate my brother and I. I had a reputation for fighting but that was only to protect my brother. I remember the day we arrived at the orphanage I promised him that I'd protect and provide for him no matter what the cost and I haven't gone back on my word. I never plan too.

Today was advertised as an English speaking day so tourist galore showed up during my shift. It was interesting explaining that tipping wasn't needed here since we were given a really decent wage. A few that didn't understand still left money on the table or forced it in the staff's hands. It was comical watching the maids try to give the money back and watching the American's dodge them. I explained it to the maids after they were left in a confused daze. The owner was amused by the situation as well and instructed the maids and I to take the extra we made in tips and treat ourselves. I already knew what I was going to spend the money on…..dinner with Katsuya before I break the news to him.

"Seto, you got a request." Miku told me. She looked and sounded so nervous, which threw me off completely. I hadn't been working here long enough to have guests requesting me.

"I approached the table like I did every other table, "Good afternoon master." The words left my lips as I realized who I was waiting on, Nosaka and Gozaburo Kaiba the CEO of KaibaCorp.

"It's good to see you again, Seto." Nosaka said pushing his tea cup over for me to fill.

I pour them both teas quickly before asking them what they wanted to order, which was two of everything on the entire menu, staggered. I was going to be serving them for a while.

Mokuba arrived while I was bring out another set of appetizers for the men to sample, pick over or let sit until it was ice cold, before telling me to get them another. I couldn't be out of sight more than a few minutes before Nosaka ordered one of the maids to fetch me for some pointless reason. I noticed one of the maids move Mokuba upstairs since he'd resorted to staring at the two men rather than doing his homework or reading, he had a sixth sense when it came to douchebags.

"Seto, my friend and I were just talking about you." Nosaka told me as he motioned for me to refill his tea, "I told him how you have a younger brother and you work solely to support him." When I didn't comment he continued, "Told him that you were one of the best workers I had in a long time."

I remained silent.

"He was also one of the best lays too."

I was shocked though I was expecting that much from him but I never imagined he would have timed it so perfectly. I looked up and saw Katsuya standing just close enough to hear what Nosaka had said, "He still owes me a few romps."

"Is that so?" I could only assume Gozaburo had said since my eyes were locked on Katsuya's. He looked more than ferocious in fact I was scared.

Katsuya began to move forward towards me. I was prepared for anything a punch, slap, being spat on. Instead Katsuya pushed me away from the table to hard I fell back when I recovered from the shock I saw Katsuya beating the life out of Nosaka. Even Gozaburo was frozen in shock. I jumped up and tried to pull Katsuya off of Nosaka but he pushed me away every time. He was in full rage mode now. A few of the night butlers had arrived and rushed over to help me to break up the fight. The owner was freaking out completely as she screamed for them all to leave. Miku quickly told her that Nosaka had been rude and harassing me which was true, but even I knew Katsuya actions where outrageous.

The evening butlers threw Nosaka out and but were hesitate to asked Gozaburo to leave since he had enough money and power to ruin everyone's future. But he dropped a wad of cash on the table and left on his own. He had a smug look on his face as he walked pass me. He looked at me and held out a business card to me, "You seem resourceful. Come see me when you're done playing dress up."

Then he left.

Mokuba had rushed down when he heard the commotion. Katsuya was pacing back and forth still reeling from the fight. He was covered in the food and beverages that had been on the table but he didn't seem to notice. I wasn't sure what to do. I'd never told him what I'd done hoping I'd never have to or he'd never find out. When he finally looked at me I felt as though he was going to attack me. Insisted he grabbed me and dragged me out of the café. Mokuba was hesitant to follow but did. I was unsure of what Katsuya was going to do so my survival instincts kicked in as I fought against him. This proved pointless since Katsuya just hoisted me over his shoulder and continued to walk down the street. Mokuba was following looking unsure of what was going on.

Chapter 7 is almost ready. Review let me know what you think.
