Umm, here's the next chapter, but I gotta do major studying for exams, so don't expect a new one any time soon. I still don't own it. Also, there's mature content in this chapter, and I mean that quite seriously, so I'll just emphasize it.

MATURE CONTENT!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

He was trapped in his nightmare, and there was nothing he could do about it. It started the way it always did. He was alone, in the middle of a big empty room, playing with his favorite childhood toy. As he ignorantly played with his truck, a shadow fell over him. "It's time to go now boy." A deep voice said from behind him. He turned to see no one there, but something was going on. The walls were closing in, just slowly, making the room progressively smaller.

He started crying for help when the room was no bigger then a closet, and the walls kept moving. He tired pushing the walls, but he was too small, too weak to have any effect. When there was barely enough room for him to move, a rope appeared above his head. Terrified, he grabbed on, and was lifted out of the room. Too late did he realize he'd left his truck behind. He tried to climb down, to save it from its untimely fate, but he just managed to get himself tangled in the ropes.

Now upside-down, he was stuck staring at the toy, watching as the walls force slowly crushed the bright yellow plastic.

Jou woke up with a start. He hadn't had that nightmare since his mother left. He'd actually forgotten about it. "Seto, your nightmare had better not be that lame." He muttered to his sleeping companion. In response, Seto merely tightened his hold on Jou's legs.

Jou sighed. Seto was being really touchy feely tonight. It had been bad enough when he had first got there, when Kaiba started sucking on his neck. After the initial shock had worn off, Jou was finding himself enjoying the treatment. But then, who wouldn't want the most attractive, not to mention richest and most unattainable, boy in school giving them a hickey. When Jou felt himself start to get hard, he decided it might be a good idea to think of other things, so he wouldn't have to explain any unfortunate messes in the morning. He tired to focus on other things, but that backfired almost instantly.

When he stopped paying strict attention to Kaiba's mouth, he noticed the rest of the brunette's body. Seto's hands were pushing Jou's shoulders onto the bed, keeping him from sitting up. Their chests were pressed against each other, as Kaiba was literally on top of Jou. The soft strands of Seto's hair were tickling Jou's face in a very pleasing manner. Worst by far was the fact that Seto was crouched low on Jou's stomach, above his waist. Right above it. This meant that every time Jou moved, even slightly, Seto's nice round bottom would brush teasingly against Jou's rapidly growing erection.

Jou groaned. He was stuck between desperately wanting Seto to stop and wanting this delicious tortcher to never end.

As suddenly as he had started, Kaiba stopped. With a soft sigh he cuddled against Jou's side, laying one arm over Jou's chest and wrapping his legs around the blondes. Jou was deeply grateful for the change in position. It took some of the pressure off his pressing need. And after calming himself down, he was even able to drift off to sleep.

But now he was awake again. Kaiba was still in almost the same position, sleeping soundly. Jou looked over at the clock and saw it was 3 in the morning. He knew he needed to get back to sleep. He did have to go to school in the morning. If he had been aware of it, he would have been surprised at how quickly he managed to do just that.

The dream started the same as it normally did. He was still naked, blindfolded and chained to a bed. He was still cold and afraid, shivering violently, praying that the door would stay closed, that for this night, they'd leave him alone, but to no avail. He cringed when he heard the door open, the shriek of the hinges seeming to last forever.

He heard footsteps getting closer and re-coiled on instinct, pulling against the chains and causing the dildo shoved up his ass to press firmly against his prostate. His securely confined erection twitched at that. A gentle chuckle drifted out of the shadows. "I see you missed me" the chuckling voice said from somewhere to his left as gentle footsteps got closer. He tried again to curl up and hide, but as always, the chains prevented his escape. The chuckling stopped as the footsteps reached the side of the bed. The unseen figure spoke again as the mattress shifted from a change of weight. "Now now boy, you really shouldn't try to get away from me. After all, I'm the only one who knows what you need." He felt a heavier body straddle his waist and deft fingers started torturing his nipples.

He wanted to cry out, to scream for someone to help him, but the ball gag in his mouth only allowed whimpers to escape. "Now, is that the proper way to greet your master?" His captor said as he twisted a nipple harshly. "I only want to hear purrs coming from you." Abruptly the pain ended and soothing lips took the place twisting fingers were moments before. He tried to make moans of pleasure for his captor, but sobs continued to make their way out of his body.

"Now boy, I don't understand why you're being such a pussy about this. It's not like it's never happened before." The unseen figure said in response to his noises. "I have a lot of important men coming, in every sense of the word with your help, this afternoon and I don't need you to screw anything up with your girlish tears, so shut the fuck up!" The last part was said with a firm twist to his balls to emphasize the point. He drew in a sharp breath, but otherwise made no noise. "There's a good pet. Remember our deal, if you're absolutely perfect, there's no need for me to hurt your darling little brother."

In actuality, he was left alone at this point for about half-an-hour, but in his nightmare that part was edited out and suddenly there were hands all over him. Rough hands that poked and prodded everywhere, grabbing, rubbing, pinching, twisting, everything. Then the dream changed.

Instead of being torn apart from within, over and over, salty liquids burning his insides, his blindfold was ripped off and light flooded his vision. His shackles disappeared, allowing him to curl up in a strong pair of arms that had appeared. As he got comfortable in the safety of the arms, he knew he had to thank his saviour somehow.

At this point his upbringing kicked in. the only things he was ever praised for, even if he thought they were disgusting, had to do with sex. He would please his saviour to show his gratitude. He attached his mouth to the nearest section of skin available to him, which happened to be the neck. By the noises and reactions from his saviour's body, he knew his treatment was being enjoyed.

He looked up at his hero, finally able to see clearly through the light, and was met with a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring back at him. He immediately backed off, turning bright red. How could he have let the mutt see him in such a way? He was supposed to be better then this.

He felt gentle fingers take a hold of his chin and carefully turn his face. "Come now Seto, I just saved you, don't I deserve a little thank you?" Jou said as he moved their faces close enough for a kiss. "Just let go of a bit of that control. I'm not gonna hurt you." And then suddenly they were kissing. Not chaste, polite, getting to know you kisses, full blown, tongue down the throat, I-want-to-devour-you-without-actually-devouring-you kisses.

The kissing quickly escalated into touching, with Jou's clothes quickly forming a pile on the floor. Touching turned to caressing, but then Seto found his hands being help restrictively above his head. "Settle down Set, I didn't say you were allowed to play just yet. I gotta have my fun for a bit." Seto found he was unable, and un-wanting, to disobey the blonde. He kept his hands strictly off the muscular body that was hovering over him.

When one torturing hand grasped his very erect cock, Seto was allowed to touch Jou, but only above the waist. As Jou stroked him, Seto tried o show his appreciation by lavishing attention to the two dusky nipples in front of his face. When he felt his release slowly creep up on him, he got the command "Not until I tell you Set." And he obeyed.

He saw Jou smile down at him as his legs were spread apart. "Now comes the fun bit" was the only warning he got as Jou suddenly thrust into him.

Seto awoke with a start. He was sweating, his heart rate was up, his breathing was harsh, and most terrifying, and he was hard. He tried to wrap his head around what he'd just dreamed, but he couldn't. How could he have enjoyed such treatment, and with the mutt no less. Speaking of the mutt, Seto looked down and saw the blonde boy was nestled in his arms.

Just seeing Jou caused a rush or vivid memories from his dream. Seto jumped back, right off the bed, as though Jou had burned him. He knew he had to get out of that room, because every time he looked at the other boy, he got a flash of his dream, and his erection would twitch.

"No…no…" he muttered to himself. How could he make this go away? He'd heard a cold shower could help. Turning on just the cold water, he stepped under the spray of his shower. He let out several profanities the moment the freezing water hit his over heated skin. Once his not so little problem went away, he turned the temperature to a comfortable level and tried to forget about the whole thing.

By the time Jou woke up, Seto had eaten a meager breakfast and was locked away in his office. Jou didn't think too much of this. Since he hadn't worked at all the day before, it only made sense that the CEO had some catching up to do.

At 8:15, Seto came out of his office and briskly informed Jou that the limo would be taking them to school immediately. The limo ride was quiet as a grave for the most part. Seto was clearly avoiding even looking at Jou and Jou didn't know how to start up a conversation. When they were almost at school, Seto broke the silence.

"I hope you remember that you promised not to tell anyone about this weekend. I don't want to be asked any un-necessary questions." He said briskly.

"I know. You can count on me." Was Jou's reply.

"It's nice to know the dog is still loyal." Jou bristled a bit at the comment, but decided that Seto was just getting back into their routine so no one would be suspicious, so he let it slide. When they pulled up outside of the school, Seto stopped Jou just before he managed to climb out of the car. "Jou, I don't say this often, so you'd better appreciate it. Thank you… for this weekend. Just don't ever mention it again." And with that, he got out of the car and walked swiftly towards the school.

Jou got out and saw almost no one was there yet. He had to wait about ten minutes until Yugi arrived. "JOU!" the small boy practically shrieked, "Where have you been all weekend? I've been trying to reach you since Saturday morning!"

Jou knew he couldn't answer truthfully, but he hated to lie to his shrimpy friend. "Oh, you know, around. I got a new job, so I was working there, and I guess I was so exhausted I just conked out once I got home. I didn't mean to worry you, I'm sorry." It wasn't a complete lie, so Jou didn't feel that bad.

The two boys chatted animatedly as they walked up the steps to the school. As Jou was getting his books out of his locker, he saw Seto heading down the hallway. The brunette looked up and the two made eye contact. For a second nothing happened, and then Seto briskly turned around and walked away. For the rest of the day it went like this. If Seto saw Jou in hallway, he would turn around and take another route to class. In their shared classes, Seto remained very quiet and refused to look up. His normal arrogant aura was not present.

It became so bad that even Jou's friends started to notice. "Hey Jou," Honda whispered on the morning of the second day back at school. "Is there some reason that Kaiba is avoiding you? Did you finally manage to beat him up over the weekend?" Jou had to admit, he was also curious as to why the brunette was steering clear of him.

When lunch rolled around, Jou saw his chance to talk to the taller boy. He knew it was very clichéd, but they were going to have a confrontation in the washroom.

Jou walked in about three minutes after Seto. The CEO was washing his hands. "Hey," He said tapping the boy on the shoulder "Can we talk for a minute?"

Seto turned, his eyes shifting around the room, making sure they were alone, "Yes?' He asked once he was sure the coast was clear.

Jou couldn't think of a tactful way to ask his question, so he just blurted it out. "Is there some reason you're avoiding me?"

Seto looked at Jou and said coldly "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't avoid people, that's weak."

'Bullshit!" Jou exclaimed. "If you're really not avoiding me, why do you run every time we see each other in the hall?" He stepped closer to the blue-eyed boy. "Why do you constantly avoid eye contact?" Another step. "Why have the halls stopped echoing with our fights?" A final step brought them face-to-face. "I knew it wouldn't be like we were friends when we got back to school, but I figured maybe you'd be a tiny bit nicer, or at least it would go back to the way it used to be. Why did it change? Was it something I did?"

As Jou continued with his rant, Seto zoned out. Jou was in his personal space and Seto couldn't help but stare at him. The passion on Jou's face for this rant was harsher then the display Seto had dreamed for their foreplay. Jou's eyes were alight with the same fire, his muscles were tense in all the right places and he was giving off the same husky smell.

Jou noticed his companion swallow harshly. "Are you even listening to me? I was just saying you could let up a little on your famous self control, I'm not gonna hurt you. Geeze man" He scratched his neck in an embarrassed fashion. Before the fact the Seto had even moved registered with his brain, Jou found himself being roughly shoved to the floor.

Seto's eyes widened when he saw what he had just done. Jou thought he looked like a fish, staring down and gaping. Then he turned and fled. That was the last anyone saw him for the rest of the week.

xXx

Seto ran. He knew deep down, from painful lessons, that Kaiba's did not run away, but his natural instincts were currently more powerful then his screeching brain. Besides, he had to get out of that bathroom, it had been closing in. His emotions had been getting in the way.

The words Jou had said to him had echoed too closely with the ones he'd said in Seto's dream. He didn't want to be reminded of the dream, he just wanted to forget it. And when Jou had so casually rubbed his neck, something he did all the time, his collar had moved, revealing a large, purple, hickey. Seto's chest had tightened when he had seen it. He felt anger and disgust rise in him and he'd shoved the boy away. But then, when he saw the blonde on the ground, he recognized in himself that the anger and disgust were there because his puppy dared let someone else touch him. That thought had terrified him, so he ran.

After five blocks of running he finally slowed down. Where on earth did Jou get a hickey? A sudden, horrifying image of Yugi attached to Jou's neck like some sort of over-sized, tri-coloured leech popped into his head. No, that was just impossible, he told himself. They were best friends and nothing more. But then from who? He knew Honda was straight as an arrow just by his flirting in the halls. Seto was pretty sure all Jou's friends were either in a relationship, straight, or both.

Then it hit him. Jou's job! Was the blonde really that desperate for money? The thought that of other people looking at Jou the wrong way made him bristle, the idea that someone would consider touching the blonde made him see red. But that didn't make sense. Why should he care what Jou did for money, it had no effect on him. Why did seeing that bruise on Jou's neck affect him so.

xXx

It was Friday when Jou heard from a Kaiba. Unfortunately, it wasn't the one he really wanted to talk to. Rather, his younger brother.

"Jou, I need you to come over to the mansion. Seto's gone missing and there's something here I think you need to see. I'm sending the blue limo to pick you up, so be ready."
