~LEMON WARNING~
Jonouchi was instantly on the alert. Knife at Akeifa's neck, eyes narrowed, Jonouchi whispered immediately, "And why shouldn't I kill ya right now? If you share Zorc's bed, you are no better than him."
Akeifa stared at Jonouchi with level eyes, no fear in them. "Kill me if you want. But just because I share Zorc's bed doesn't mean I share his ideals. Sometimes, you have to do things to protect your family."
Jonouchi swallowed hard, jerking his head back. "What did you say?" He whispered intently, knife still at Akeifa's neck.
Akeifa stared at Jonouchi. "You heard what I said. So slice my throat if you must. Indecision doesn't suit you."
Jonouchi put the knife down, right as Atem walked in.
"What is this?" Atem demanded. Akeifa went to his knees, as did Jonouchi.
"My Pharaoh," Jonouchi stated. "I am a new guard, chosen by your High Priest. I came to bring this thief to you, as he has information which I think will be helpful in your battle against Zorc."
Atem raised an eyebrow. "You two, come with me." Opening the door, he ushered the two out, down the hall and to the priest's door. "Seto, may I come in?"
The door was opened, Seto still in his sleeping pants. Seeing two other men with Atem, Seto looked at them, recognizing the new guard. "My Pharaoh?" He asked guardedly.
Atem looked at Seto. "We need to speak to you."
Nodding, Seto moved aside so all three could come in. Akeifa was confused, as he expected to be dead. Closing the door, Atem crossed his arms, looking at the duo. "Speak." He commanded.
Jonouchi looked at Akeifa. Akeifa sighed. "I come with an olive branch from Yami." Atem's eyes darkened as did Seto's. "Please, let me finish. Yugi cares very much about you still, my Pharaoh. And he doesn't want your kingdom to suffer. Yami was sent to demoralize you by destroying you emotionally...take Yugi from you if possible. Zorc believed if he could destroy you emotionally, then your kingdom would be easy pickings. However, Yami truly fell in love with Yugi. He now doesn't want to destroy you, but help you defeat Zorc."
Atem looked at Seto, who stared at the other two men with cold, emotionless eyes. Akeifa continued determinedly. "I will lay it all on the line. I traded my freedom for my brothers' safety eight or so years ago. Zorc took us three in. I became his lover in exchange for Bakura and Ryou's safety. Yami was his right hand man even back then. However, recently, I have started questioning if this is still really the best life for my brothers. Bakura is there with his mate Marik, Ryou is there, I am there, and Yami is there. Ryou can't have a relationship with who he wants because of Zorc. Bakura is the only one who seems happy, because he has a mate. But I know that can change on Zorc's whim."
Taking a breath, Akeifa continued. "Yami wants out to be with Yugi, but he doesn't want to destroy your Egypt. He has tried to come talk to you about this, but of course, he's been attacked when he's tried. I will tell you this. He has been telling Zorc that he's still been coming to the palace and sharing the Pharaoh's bed...even though I know that hasn't been true for three weeks. He has been protecting you...because as soon as Zorc knows you and Yugi aren't together any more, he will attack. And Yami knows that you are building an army."
Atem looked at Seto. Seto studied Akeifa and Jonouchi. Sighing, he looked up at Atem. "What has Yami wanted to talk to my Pharaoh about?"
Akeifa blew out a breath. "He thinks he has a plan. He wouldn't tell me, in case this failed, Zorc wouldn't be able to find out. If I don't get back by morning, I worry about my brothers' safety." Akeifa admitted.
Atem and Seto stared at each other. Finally, nodding, Atem looked at Akeifa. "Tell Yami I will meet him tomorrow night at midnight in the throne room. I will bring Seto. He can bring one person. You are to take this guard with you. Guard." Turning to Jonouchi, Atem stared hard. "Go with this thief. If he gives you any reason to doubt what he has said, kill him." Jonouchi nodded. Grabbing Akeifa's arm, Jonouchi directed him out, both bowing.

Ryou was sitting on the bed, relaxing. He hadn't seen Malik in three weeks. Sadness had started to envelop him, but he had kept it hidden from his brothers, Yami and Marik. He didn't know why he was sad...he hadn't really thought about Malik in any kind of romantic way before...well, he had always had a minor crush on Malik...but it had not developed from there. He guessed it was just that living at Zorc's, he didn't have many options. And, both of his brothers had mates, so he was feeling a bit left out. Yes, that was it.
Sighing, Ryou got up and changed for bed. Marik and Bakura had been in earlier, the three playing cards. Ryou was happy for his brother and for Marik. They were very cute together. He worried about Akeifa though. He didn't think Zorc was a good mate, but who was he to criticize? It wasn't like he had tons of experience. Going into his bathroom and looking in the mirror, he washed his face, brushed his teeth and hair and then went back out. He squeaked in surprise. There, sitting on Ryou's bed, was Malik, with a blanket laid out and some fruit set out on different plates on half of the bed.
Ryou smiled. "I thought I might not see you again." He whispered.
Malik grinned. "I'm psychotic, not forgetful. I just had to figure out a way to sneak in. Tombkeeping has its perks." Waggling his eyebrows, he held out his hands at the spred. "Sorry it can't be a better date, but, an inside picnic is fun, right?"
Ryou smiled. "I think it's wonderful. It's a very sweet gesture." Crawling up on the bed, he looked at them all. "This looks wonder...oooo." Spying the watermelon, Ryou looked up, grinning. "How did you find this? It is so rare...but my favorite along with blueberries!" Grinning, Ryou took a piece, putting it in his mouth and smiling in delight.
Malik grinned back at Ryou. "I am observant." Looking around, he grabbed a date and put a little bit of honey on it. "Open." He commanded as he put the fruit up to Ryou's lips. Ryou did as commanded, as Malik popped the date in Ryou's mouth. Closing his mouth, Malik didn't move fast enough and Ryou closed his lips over Malik's finger.
A fluttery feeling went through Ryou's stomach down into his nether regions. Keeping the lilac gaze of Malik, Ryou sucked the honey off of Malik's finger as Malik pulled his finger out. Lilac darkened as Ryou chewed and swallowed the date. Malik scooped some honey on his finger and held it up to Ryou's mouth. Never leaving Malik's stare, Ryou opened his mouth, closing his lips over Malik's finger and sucking the honey off.
Malik let out a low groan. Grabbing a piece of a fig, he put it in his mouth and leaned over, offering it to Ryou. Moaning quietly, Ryou took it, brushing his lips against Malik's. After chewing and swallowing it, Malik got the honey dipper out. "Lay back." He ordered huskily. Ryou did so, still keeping eye contact with Malik. Taking the dipper, Malik got some honey and then started drizzling it over Ryou's chest and abdomen. Ryou whimpered as Malik scooted the plates over more and crawled up over Ryou. Breathing heavily, he looked at Ryou.
"Not what I planned for a first date. But I'll take it. You?" Eyes studying Ryou's gentle face.
Ryou couldn't form any words, his face flushed, so he just licked his bottom lip and nodded, staring at Malik. Grinning, Malik leaned down, licking the honey off of Ryou's body. Ryou moaned, nipples hardening. Working his way down Ryou's pale, smooth body, he grinned looking up at Ryou when he saw just how painfully happy Ryou was with Malik's ministrations. Running his mouth over Ryou's pants, letting his hot breath tease Ryou's cock which stood at attention, Malik grabbed Ryou's waistband and pulled his pants off. Ryou's cock sprang into the night air, glistening as precum was moistening the tip.
Malik leaned down, licking Ryou from the base of the shaft all the way to the tip. Ryou arched his head back, eyes sliding closed as he moaned. "Oh...Mal...that feels...uhmmnnn..." Ryou couldn't think of words to describe what he was feeling at that moment. Sliding his hand around Ryou's shaft, Malik started pumping lightly, licking and sucking just on the head. Ryou flung his arms out, gripping the sheets as he moaned loudly.
Suddenly, there was a knock from the wall by his headboard, followed by Bakura's voice. "Keep it the fuck down in there Ryou. I don't wanna know that you are jackin' off!"
Ryou blushed, pulling the pillow over his face. Malik smirked. Taking Ryou fully in his mouth, he started running his tongue along the base while sucking and pumping his mouth over Ryou, all while fondling Ryou's balls. The sensation was way too amazing and too much, and Ryou forgot the prior warning and started moaning louder, arching his back. Malik looked up. "C'mon baby...moan for me...moan my name..." He uttered in between licking and sucking.
"Oooo...Maliiiick...ooo, Ra th..that...oooo..." He was bucking his hips up towards Malik. Malik was uncomfortably tight in his pants, and he could feel the dampness of his underwear, but watching this innocent, angelic creature lose control was just so amazing.
"What do you want me to do to you?" Malik asked raggedly, still licking and sucking, but slowing the pace so Ryou wouldn't blow his load too soon.
"Uhn..oo...ummm...Mal...please...inside me...please..." Ryou whimpered, head thrashing back and forth as his hips bucked upwards towards Malik's mouth, fists gripping the sheets.
Squeezing and fondling just right, driving Ryou wild, Malik looked up. "Tell me you want me to fuck you." He whispered.
"I wan..want you to fuck me." Ryou begged, hips arching impossibly high as he just wanted Malik back over him, his mouth on Ryou's shaft.
Malik stood, slipping out of his clothes in record speed. Laying down, he leaned up and started kissing and licking Ryou's anus. Ryou's eyes flew open in surprise and then just closed in ecstasy. Malik then licked his fingers and started his way in in a scissoring angle. Ryou whimpered, cock twitching. Malik grabbed a pillow, slipping it under Ryou's hips and then gently started to slide himself in. Ryou grunted in pain, Malik stopping to allow Ryou to adjust. As he did so, he grabbed Ryou, pumping his cock a couple times. Ryou started moaning again.
As Ryou became comfortable, Malik started pounding Ryou more. The plates fell off the bed, crashing on the floor as Malik started pounding Ryou's ass hard, Ryou grunting, shoving, and moaning in response to Malik's ministrations. Encouraging Ryou to be loud, moaning loudly himself, he smirked as the door flew open. "What the fuck..." Malik heard Bakura exclaim; he looked over, not stopping the pounding to Ryou's ass. Bakura paled. "Oh fuck me, I did not need to see this." Closing the door, Malik kept it up for a few more minutes as Ryou came on his stomach and Malik's hand, Malik exploding inside Ryou a few moments later, Malik gripping Ryou's hips tightly as he grunted, shoving himself in. Sliding out, he pulled Ryou to him. "How was that?"
Ryou smiled, curling around Malik. "I loved it."
Malik smiled, kissing Ryou's sweaty forehead. "Good." A few moments later, "Can I keep you?" He whispered, but Ryou was already asleep.
