A/n: This chapter finally puts the last two main pairings together. It's bittersweet in a way because poor Bakura's starting to feel abandoned. Anyway, enough about that I have an important question. This fic I have completely written, just not all of it is typed up. It wouldn't be long, probably May at the latest that the last chapter is posted. There are actually probably only about four chapters left. Sad I know! But a lot happens and I believe the chapters are fairly wrong otherwise I'm just counting wrong. Back to the question, I have an idea for a sequel. It's fairytalish like this one is. It has a quest and heroes. The main quest is that...drat I don't know how to say this without telling whether or not this fic has a happy or sad ending. Let's just say it contains males trying to have babies only...different, it would be fairytale like. I'll tell you guys more about that fic when I feel like I can reveal information without ruining this fic. Now, would you want me to start writing that fic, after this one is up of course, I don't want to get sidetracked. Or should I just leave this fic on by itself. It's up to you guys because the next fic would really start to dig deep into things that I couldn't in this one. Also, for anyone reading I love you now. I'm working hard on the next chapter Joey is just not cooperating with me. There is a little hiccup in that chapter that I need to even out. I think I'll start writing the chapter after that one to see if I can work it out. For anyone who hasn't read that fic caution on its major Angst and it contains Mpreg hintings and temporary character death. It's pretty good though, if I could just work this one stupid part out. If I don't the end wouldn't work out the way I want it. Blah Blah blah, I'll stop now. Next Chapter Yugi is introduced. If you felt sorry for Ryou well...awe I'm so cruel to him but his Prince is coming so no worries!
Once Upon a Time
The now part of five left that afternoon and caught up with Seto and the others in a near by farming village by night fall.
"So he's coming with us?" Seto asked looking down his nose at the two blondes and then turned to Yami for an answer.
"Of course he's coming! I'm never having sex with anyone else again so I'm not about to leave him behind!" Marik answered.
"What, no one else ever? Honda was floored by the idea, "But variety is the spice of life."
"You don't need variety if you've got someone as good as me," Malik smirked earning a soft kiss.
"So that's why Bakura's got a stick up his ass?" Otogi glanced at the fuming teen.
"I don't have a stick up my ass!" He growled narrowing his eyes, "Suck it pretty boy!"
"Gladly," Otogi agreed.
Ryou blushed when Bakura tugged the raven-haired teen away. He blushed even more when Honda followed them.
"I give Marik a week before he's begging for another lover!" Seto told Yami.
"I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and give him ten days." Yami replied.
"Hey that's not fair I really like Malik and I have more control then that!" Marik argued.
"I give him two days," Malik said without a thought. "I'll put a hundred on it."
"You're on!" Yami loved games as he hardly ever lost and he couldn't resist the bet.
"What Malik don't you trust me?" Marik pouted hoping for a little support from Malik at least!
"Well not really, especially since I'm hoping to see Bakura in bed with us right after my ass stops throbbing," Malik explained.
"Wait you want me to have sex with other people?" Marik asked to clear up any confusion.
"Sure, after all I plan to." Malik agreed.
"I'm so confused," Marik frowned.
Ryou giggled, "What he's saying is that as long as you are emotionally faithful he doesn't care who you have sex with."
"Really?" Marik turned a hopeful look at his new lover.
"Yea, you have to be kidding me if you think I or you will ever stick to being monogamists," He smiled brightly, "That's why you love me!"
"Oh, I love you for much more then that but then again it is a big reason," Marik planted a heated kiss against his lips.
"Awe you love each other," Yami teased.
"Oh no, Marik just loves me," Malik teased right back but he quickly added after seeing Marik's pout, "But, I do love you."
"Oh Ra! I'm so hard!" Marik ground against him Malik giggled and slipped from his arms. Evading him he went into the nearest bedroom.
"Ugh they can't do that kind of stuff here we're not in an Inn what if the farmer or his wife hear?" Seto worried.
Yami smirked heading into the second room the one that contained Bakura, Otogi, and Honda, he made sure to swing his hips in just the way Seto liked, "That's because you're not doing it, but I might be nice and let you join me." Yami purred opening the door.
Bakura jumped him and quickly attacked his throat. "Okay but I'm on top." Seto followed shutting the door behind him.
Ryou sighed and opened is book. He knew no matter what happened with Bakura and him he had to get used to that. He was sure he could handle it once he actually had Bakura.
He didn't really have long to spend reading however, because Jou came in which surprised Ryou. He hadn't seen that the puppy had been missing. Joey glanced about and sighed in relief. "Ryou, when they're done can you tell them that I left?" Jou asked his voice soft so as not to draw attention.
Ryou frowned, "Why? Where are you going?"
"No where. Don't worry Ryou-chan!" Jou rubbed his neck sheepishly but gave Ryou a plastered smile to reassure him that Ryou should be worried!
"Of course I'm worried! If you were going somewhere you were supposed to then you would tell them yourself." Ryou stood from his chair. He was extremely worried about the look on Joey's face. It held the emotion of fear and nervousness. Ryou knew something was wrong. "Jou, please, what's wrong?"
"I hafta go home, okay. I've gotten a message dat I'm supposed ta follow. Master wants me back, now. I don't dare disobey him," Joey explained sadly, "Honda and Seto will just make a 'uge deal and I just tink itta be better if I just go."
"But doesn't he hit you?" Ryou asked watching the blond flinched at the comment.
"Yes," he whispered, "But if I don'tgo home I don't want tat ink of what he'll do ta me."
"Jou no! You don't have to do this. You can stay here with us. It's safe here," Ryou begged, he was horrified that anyone would ever beat another person but knowing that he had no way to physically keep Jou here.
"I hafta go Ryou. Please just please don't tell dem until I'm too far gone." Jou looked as though he already regretted his actions and yet he still turned about stalking out of the door. Ryou froze for a second until the sound of hooves racing down the road outside startled him back to his senses.
Ryou bolted to the room Seto and Honda had entered knowing he'd get the best desired reaction from them. He didn't flinch or blink at the five tangled-naked-male bodies on the bed in front of him there were things more important then that. The words quickly rushed from his mouth with out a second to breath, "Jou's gone!"
He blushed as reality came to him, he was just about to turn around and enter properly when he was answered, "Mmm, yeah Jou went down the street for a bit. He said he wanted some air," Honda turned away from Ryou and closed his eyes, "Go away, tired."
"No, Jou came back, and then he left again. He said he was going home!" Ryou explained his voice squeaking in panic.
He was surprised to see all five of the boys jolt equally as fast from the bed. "What why would he do that," Seto growled.
"I don't know. I told him not to go!" Ryou's voice hitched with worry and tears. He flinched and blushed more as the boys tumbled off the bed tripping over each other and looking about for some sort of clothes.
"Idiot, I can't believe he would do this," Bakura snarled rushing out of the room as he found his clothing first, to Ryou's disappointment. Bakura entered Marik's room and Ryou heard him murmuring something he couldn't make out.
Ryou then tried not to laugh as the rest of the boys fought their way threw the bedroom door. It really wouldn't let four boys squeezes threw at the same time. "Honestly," He scolded and tugged Yami and Honda back from the door, "You're going about this the wrong way."
"How so, we have to get Jou back!" Honda struggled to get back to rushing about like an idiot.
"And what will you do when you get there?" Ryou quested.
"Bring him back," Yami struggled as well groaning as he watched Seto and Otogi make a run for it.
"Hold it," Bakura stepped forward with Marik flanking him, "Now let's listen to Ryou. After all you'd still be stuck in the doorway if it wasn't for her."
Ryou blushed brightly, "Well, I was just thinking that it would be less overwhelming if one or two of you go after him. Then bring him back willingly and then all of us can talk to him. Besides we only have three horses you sent the driver of the carriage off for the night.
"That is true and Jou has one," Yami added relaxing when Ryou let go of both him and Honda.
"If we doubled we'd never catch up to him," Marik pointed out.
Bakura nodded and gave the group a pointed look, "So who is going." He snarled folding his arms over his bare chest.
"I am!" The rest of the boys excluding Ryou exclaimed. They quickly threw threatening glares at each other waiting for one to back down finally they broke out in argument.
Ryou sighed, "Guys this isn't helping!"
"Come on, Ryou-chan we can go, bet they wouldn't notice either. Do you know how to ride a horse?" Bakura asked.
"Uh well...uh I was just thinking that Honda and Seto would want to go. I mean, I think he'd come back more willingly for them." Ryou twisted his hands together.
"Get going you heard her," Bakura ordered and the two left quickly but rather smugly.
"Now what?" Otogi fretted tugging at a strand of hair.
"Well we wait; oh I know we can have Ryou read to us!" Marik grinned as his idea. "Let me just get Malik."
"I'm here," He yawned and placed his head on Marik's bare shoulder.
"Mmm maybe you should clean and dress properly," Ryou blushed brightly at even the thought.
"Ha no, 'ts not like you haven't seen half dressed boys before. Go get your book before Otogi goes bald." Marik reached out and tugged Ryou's wrist until he moved to follow the blonds into the small sitting room the farmers had provided them.
Malik crawled into Marik's lap dozing off. "Don't know French," Marik kissed his brow softly and let him use his chest as a pillow.
It was hours when Jou finally trudged in with Seto and Honda at his heals. In fact it had been so long that rest of the boys had all drifted into sleep. Seto tugged Jou into the bedroom to let the others sleep. Hond kept his pace with them shutting the door quietly behind him before turning on his near-brother.
"What's all this about?" Honda snapped angrily. "Am I not good enough to you? Don't I take care of you? Well? What stupid reason did you have for thinking that it was alright to leave?"
"I 'Idn't 'anna 'Onda. I'm sorry! He sent a message 'or me I 'igured it 'ust be important if he took da time ta send me a message!" Jou looked at his feet feeling ashamed at hurting his best friend. "I didn't mean ta make ya feel bad. I dunno what I'd do without ya."
"That's still no excuse. He probably just missed having an obedient prick to fuck when he wanted to," Honda snapped. "You know I don't like it when he hurts you. Are you mine or his?"
Jou's eyes flicked with an unknown emotion, "I'm his."
"Honda!" Ryou gasped from where he stood just inside the door. He never thought he would see his friends hand raised to his other friend. Honda was startled long enough to realize what he had almost done. Even if he hadn't been startled, however, he would never have succeeded, Seto had cleverly shielded Jou with his own form.
"I think you should leave, right now," Ryou folded his arms and tapped his foot, "You need to cool off."
Hond gave him a quizzical look, "You're kidding me?"
"No, she's right you need to clear that hot head of yours before you hurt yourself." Seto growled, "There is no way I'm letting you talk to the puppy until you do."
Honda nodded, "Yea, yea alright. I'm sorry, Jou."
"It's 'Kay," Jou whispered softly so as not to anger him again. He turned in Seto's arms to look at him and added, "I'm sorry."
Honda took a deep breath clenching his fists, "I just don't understand why you'd go back there!"
"I hafta. I know he probably just wants something to beat, but if I go back now it wouldn't be as bad when I go back with you." Jou shuddered against the arms wrapped around him.
"That's not true!" Honda growled, "We're going to be gone a long time Jou. Who knows what things he could do to you without any of us around to protect you? It's not as though you'll be able to find us again. You'll be stuck in that horrible place unless he decides to sell you."
Jou gasped horror filled his eyes, "Dat 'ouldn't happen 'ould it?" No, I 'on't wanna leave you any of you. Please, please, I'll be good! I do what you want and I don't really care if you hit me. I just..."
Seto tightened his grip on Jou's waist, "I wouldn't let you go anywhere, pup. You forget one very important thing. You belong to me. I'm not going to let anyone use you anymore."
"Uh..." Honda stepped back slightly surprised that Seto finally voiced his claim that he had long ago put on their puppy.
"Seto?" Jou half turned to face the other boy. "What-What are you saying?"
"You are mine. But also, I belong to you. I love you, Jou. I own you in a way no one else ever can." His breath ghosted over the blond's throat.
"Seto, you shouldn't! I'm-not anything," Jou said his face dropped into sadness.
"I think you should let me decide that." Seto purred brushing back a strand of hair.
"But, Seto?" Jou's voice hitched just slightly, "I..."
Seto put a hand over Jou's lips, "Don't insult me. I love you. I want to marry you. No one will deny me that."
"But, I thought- what about them?" He nodded his head in the direction of the other boys, "Don't you need an heir too? I thought you were with Yami!" He voiced all of his main concerns.
"Screw them," Seto replied, "Er...well maybe not. If I really need an heir I'll take up a girl to have one for me. That's all it would be. And, where would you get a silly idea that I'd want Yami when I've always had you? Now you're not going back until I'm with you, understand? Your home is with me. You are my puppy."
"Your puppy?" Jou cocked his head in a puppy lick fashion. "Yours all this time?"
Seto replied with a heated breath taking kiss. Ryou tugged Honda away carefully shutting the door behind them.
"What can I do to prove it to you?" Seto purred his lips moving over the other's throat.
"Mmm," Jou leaned forward successfully dazed. "I wanna be in you, please?" He said after shaking the daze off of him.
"You want to take me?" Seto raised a curious eyebrow.
Jou nodded quickly but turned the nod into a shake when Seto didn't seem pleased, "No, no 'ts 'kay just wantcha ta play with me."
The brunette stroked his cheek lovingly, "Have you wanted this for a long time?"
"Sure I have. I waited!" Jou blushed slightly at that.
"You waited to be on top?" Seto looked aghast when Jou buried his face against his chest in embarrassment, "Ra, Jou of course. Yes, I-I want this it'll be first for me too!"
Jou bit the flesh closest to him in reply earning a swat on the bum.
"I can't believe the farmer kicked us out for making too much Ra fucking noise!" Bakura growled the group of boys had to walk the long dusty road that led to the nearest town. They didn't want to try to stay anywhere else in the farming village and their driver wouldn't be back for another day or more, it left them no other choice but to walk. Despite the complaining none of the boys minded too much. It was just another adventure.
"I can't believe someone forgot to tie up our horses!" Otogi growled as well but his wasn't scary at all.
"I don't feel sorry for any of you," Yami replied although, just two minutes ago he was complaining just as loudly.
"Except for Ryou-chan those girl clothes have to be so hot! I don't know why you wear them all?" Malik replied after watching Ryou nearly pass out when they went up the last slope.
"Hehe, maybe we do it because we're really just boys that want to make fools of you," Ryou teased, Marik began to giggle immensely. He even had to lean on Bakura to keep from falling over.
"Maybe we should take a break I think Marik might be sick or something," Jou said putting a good distance between the two of them as Marik did look a bit insane. "And whatta 'bout Seto."
The group paused turning back to see how far back the brunette was. "Ra Jou did you make him bleed?" Honda scolded.
"I told ya no. But, after da first time it just felt so good. He said he want me t' keep goin'! He had me take him seven times!"
"Why are you complaining? You have the most stamina out of all of us," Otogi commented.
"Yes, if you were tired out we'd be hearing about it," Yami agreed.
"Who would complain about topping him not once but seven times?" Malik licked his lips. "I'd do it. He doesn't even gotta ask me."
Ryou blushed and cleared his throat, "Eh, I guess some people might complain," Marik said between fits of giggles.
"How can you be such a prude?" Malik complained, "You are the only virgin I know."
"There's a reason for that. You're a little slut," Bakura teased his voice dripping with malicious overtones. Ryou blushed brightly when Bakura snaked an arm around his waist, clearly indicating that would not be the case with Ryou.
There wasn't room for him to reply though because Seto had finally caught up to them, and he asked; "What's wrong?"
"Seto are you ok?" Jou looked pleadingly at him. Seto opened his mouth to snap out a rude comment but he thought better of it and just nodded.
"Jou too rough on you?" Honda teased.
"I've never had a problem with him," Yami folded his arms very proud at this accomplishment.
"Yeah well I've never been seme with any of you before," Jou countered. "What would you know?"
"Never?" Otogi looked surprised and horrified. "Not even with Marik?"
"Nope, I wanted t' wait!" Jou grinned proud of himself.
"So, you've never been on top ever, not even with Marik," Honda asked again just to be sure he heard right.
"Hey!" Marik exclaimed, "I'll have you know I'm very good at topping, I did sleep with woman."
Otogi snorted, "Right and Bakura bottoms."
"I do! Just not for you," Bakura growled.
"Why not?" Honda pouted, "Don't you like me anymore?"
"On your hands and knees," Bakura smiled.
"Who do you let top then?" Honda whined.
"Well, Seto because well you know, Marik-chan cause he hits it every time. And Yami, sometimes if I'm too tired...Ouch, Yami!" He groaned when Yami shoved him roughly, "Oh alright Yami's a pretty nice top."
"Can we stop making fun of Seto?" Jou looked as murderous as a puppy could get.
"Hey I have an idea!" Malik spoke up, "Let's keep walking before we have to camp the night. You don't want any bandits doing unkind things to our Ryou-chan, do you?"
Ryou flinched, "They wouldn't would they?"
"No way, there are too many of us that would protect your honor." Yami stated, the rest of the group voiced their agreement. He blushed and thanked them. They turned to keep walking and they made it into town just as night was falling.
End note: I love all of your reviews, but if anyone knows anyone that is really skilled at flames, I'm ready for one. I really need at least one, if I get a flame it means lots of people are reading my fic so many in fact that people who wouldn't take the time to read fics like this have to read it or at least open it and flame me. And uh...if I get a flame then I can tell people about it next time and then you guys can review and be like "They killed Kenny," "Those Bastards!" 3 Stan/Kyle by the way.
