My Paid Assassin
Chapter 14: No is no
The soothing water touches Yami's almost flawless skin, and with a soapy sponge he rubs his body…
Warm water vapor comes out from the master bathroom as the albino man opened the door holding a pair of pants and a shirt. "Yami, I found your clothes…" Bakura places the clothes on a chair near the shower.
There was no response from the man showering, Bakura looked down and says. "I'll leave you alone…"
Yami is bathing in the Bakura-Ishtar residence's master bedroom's bathroom; last night, after calming Yami down, Bakura and Marik heard everything Yami had to say; he told them how everything happened, how that first encounter a month ago was more like destiny, how he felt every time he was with him, how Seto seemed so perfect to his eyes, and how his presence made him smile.
Marik felt asleep after sometime, but Bakura stayed awake until Yami felt asleep. It was evident that Bakura would do anything for his precious Yami; after Yami had lost his parents and returned to Domino, he told him that even though he was dating Marik, he would never let Yami fade away; he will always be behind him like a shadow taking care of him.
"Wait… Don't go…" Yami trembling voice calls out before Bakura walked out of the bathroom. "But if you don't want to hear me whine anymore… you can go… I'll be okay."
"I'll stay." Bakura sits down on the toilet.
"Thank you."
"Yami, I know you told me yesterday that you weren't planning on returning with Seto… But please, rethink it… When you were with Seto you looked so happy, you smiled so brightly… and now…" Bakura looks down at his toes and moves them around. "Well… Yami, you don't seem happy anymore… You're even worse than what you were before… I don't like seeing you like this."
"Bakura… 5 years ago I told myself, no more love for me… And I told you and Marik about my decision. I won't break that promise I made."
Bakura looks up at the shower curtains and watches closely at Yami's lean silhouette…

10 am…
"Boss, boss, boss!" Joey's noisy voice echoed in the hall way. "Yami boss!" The blond enters his boss's office and- "Ah?" He is taken aback by the sight.
Bakura is sitting on Yami's lap with his legs wide open, no shirt and his jeans unzipped; Yami has one arms wrapped around Bakura's bare back and his shirt is unbuttoned; their faces are dangerously close and their hair all messed up.
Bakura quickly reacts and gets off of Yami, straightening out himself. Yami stands up and does the same, but as he does so, he apologizes with a very low and unsecure tone of voice.
"I should be the one apologizing… I never did stop myself… Neither did I stop you…" Bakura takes Yami into his arms and hugs him with great force. "I'm sorry." Bakura gives him a light kiss on the cheek.
They separate from each other's grip and Yami gives Bakura a small smile that Bakura labels it as fake. "As to you, Joseph." Bakura's soft face turns into a devil like glare when he shifts his sight to the amazed blond. "If you even dare to speak a word of this" Bakura goes around the desk and while walking towards Joey he takes out his gun and charges it. "I won't hesitate on pulling the trigger, you hear me?" He puts the end of the gun in between Joey's blond long hair.
"Uh-Huh…" He nods and Bakura removes the gun walking out of the room.
"What did you want to tell me?" Yami speaks out.
"Oh… Umm… Crawford is here for the info. Do I tell him to come in, or are you…?"
"I'll go and give it to him. Tell him to wait in the living room." Yami commands.
"Sure." Joey heads out of the office.
When Joey was gone, Yami opens one of the desk's drawers initiating the security system that hides the documents. He pulls out a button that looks like the handle's screw and a little screen requesting a password comes out. Carefully he types in the very long password thus deactivating the security system temporarily. After that, he said out loud. "Seto Kaiba."
"Name confirmed." A womanly voice says.
From behind Yami's chair a compartment slides open on the wall and a folder with the name Seto Kaiba written on it appears on the right side of said compartment. Yami takes the folder and says, "Dismiss." causing the wall to close.
Before going out of his office, he reviews once more the documents in the folder; once he knew that everything was in place, he stands up from his chair and heads to the door. He walks through the hall quietly with a look on his face that said confidence, but inside he was burning in sorrow and lust.
He gets to the waiting room where Crawford awaited. Once the client sees Yami entering the room, he stands up and walks towards him. "I hope everything went well."
"Here, this is everything you've asked for." Yami hands the folder to his customer.
Crawford saw something was wrong with Yami, but because he didn't care, he ignored it. "Thank you." He reaches for his left pocket and takes out a check book. "25,000 right?"
"Yes."
He writes a check for 25,000 dollars and gives it to Yami with a creepy smile.
Yami takes the check. "It's been pleasure doing business with you." He stretches out his hand and Crawford takes it. "Hope everything in the report would be of your liking. Have a nice day."
They let go of each other and before Crawford left the house, he smiles with a mischievous grin towards Yami…

1 pm…
A week has passed since Crawford came to pick up the folder with Seto Kaiba's information. This past week Yami's been receiving a lot of calls and text messages from the tall blue-eyed brunet, but he never answered, he just hang-up or leave the phone ringing, and all of the messages were deleted without being opened. Yami didn't want to know anything about Seto anymore, he wanted to bury everything in the past, but all of those calls had made him think nonstop of his beautiful blue-eyed man.
"Yami!" Bakura yells.
"What?" Yami says with a really annoyed expression on his face.
"You have a text message." Bakura comes into the office with Yami's cell phone on hand.
"Who is it from?" Yami looks over his computer.
Bakura opens the phone and searches for the new message. "It's from Seto Kaiba."
"Oh…" He pauses looking at his keyboard. "Just delete it."
"Okay." Before deleting it, Bakura opens the message and reads it.
Yami please answer me.
I want us to meet somewhere.
I love you.
'This guy Seto isn't giving up on Yami so easily… I wonder… Have all of those calls been from him?' Bakura thinks while he stared blankly at the wall. "Do you know what Seto writes in the messages?" He asks Yami.
"I don't know and I don't care."
"He says that he wants to talk to you, and that he wants to meet you somewhere, and that he loves you."
"Just because he wants it doesn't mean he's going to get it. Now stop reading my messages and give me my phone." Yami stands up, stretching out his hand.
"Guys!" Marik comes in running taking everyone's attention. "Crawford is here again, and this time he wants us to kill someone."
Marik looks at Bakura, Bakura looks at Yami and Yami looks down at his computer where he had some pictures of Seto, Mokuba and him; they are all thinking the same thing, the worst case scenario, Crawford wanting Yami to kill Seto…
"Let's go." Yami commands hesitantly.
The three men walk out of the room and head to the waiting area where Joey was quietly watching the client.
"Good afternoon." Yami salutes.
They all come at the same time and Crawford stands up to greet them. "I'm sorry to come in such a short notice, but I really need your service." He explains.
"What is that that you need us to do?" Yami rapidly asks.
"I need you to kill him."
"To kill who?" Bakura asks.
"Seto Kaiba."
Yami didn't seem in shock, but he didn't move at all when he heard that name. Both of his friends looked at him for an answer, not only because he was the boss but because they knew if they kill Seto Kaiba, they would be killing the man that Yami can't stop thinking of, the man that he has fallen in love with. "No." Yami says softly.
"What?"
"We won't kill Seto Kaiba."
"How much does this service cost?"
"250,000 dollars." Yami responds.
"I'll pay you 300,000 dollars to kill him."
"No."
"Okay then, I'll pay you 400,000." Crawford persists.
"No."
"Half a million dollars, I'll pay you half a million dollars."
"I don't care how much money you'll be willing to pay us; we will not kill Seto Kaiba." Yami declares.
"Why not?"
"It doesn't concern you why we don't want to kill him. So if that's all you needed, please leave." Yami points to the entrance.
"I'm practically doubling what you usual charge, and you still won't accept it. I'll triple it, how about it? 750,000 dollars."
"No is no. What part of it do you not understand?" Yami was angry that Crawford was being so persistent.
"Is this the way how you treat all of your well paying clients?" The old man puts his left hand on his hip.
"Sorry but I've already told you that we are not going to kill him no matter how much you pay us. And if you keep on insisting you might as well go and dig your own grave." Yami brows narrow down to make an angry expression.
"One of these days you're going regret ever turning down my offer. Besides, I only came here because the other group of assassins was requesting 1,000,000 dollars; those bastards just want my money. Well, thank you anyways; at least you got the information right…" In posture, he walks to the entrance.
"Wait, what group of assassins?" Bakura inquires before Crawford left.
"Black Blood. You two are rivals right?"
"Maybe…" Bakura says looking at Yami who has his eyes in shock.
"Well, good bye." He walks out of the house with great confidence.
"Did you put on the bugs Joey?" Marik asks once he knew Crawford was gone.
"Just as you asked." Joey responds while giving them the earphones to let them hear what Crawford's hearing.
"Yes, yes, I'll pay the million."
"Thank you. So at what time do you wish for us to kill him?"
"I don't know, eight o'clock, or midnight, as long as you kill him today."
"Okay, I can assure you, he'll be death by midnight. But you have to come and pay us at least half of it before 3, because if you don't we won't do anything."
"Okay, I'll be there in15 minutes and we will negotiate it. Good bye."
"Marik go get the suits, Joey go get Karen and Bakura call Seto." Yami orders around and they all comply, except Bakura who looks at Yami with a raised eyebrow.
"Why should I call Seto? He doesn't know me; if I call him he can think I'm the one trying to kill him. So why don't you spare us some time and what not, and call him, he trusts you." Bakura smirks in a kind way
Yami glares at Bakura, but the albino's persisting smile pierces through him, making him submit to the request. "I'll do it… But you go for the weapons…" Yami lowers his sight and goes to his office for his cell phone.
'I wish for you the best Yami, and right now for your happiness, you need Seto... But I can't seem to make you budge… I want to see you smile again, Yami…' Bakura thinks as he drifts of to the basement.

Kaiba Corp. Headquarters, top level, 1:28pm.
The brunet CEO is writing the report for the soon coming game of his, but even though he looks concentrated on his work, every now and then he glances at his cell phone anxiously waiting for Yami to finally call him back, but every time someone calls and Yami isn't it, he gets disappointed and sad.
Seto glances at the phone once again. "Why won't you answer me…?" He whispers to himself, taking a deep breath.
As Seto redirected his sight to the computer, his phone started to vibrate and ring. The brunet rapidly took the phone, and noticing that it was Yami's cell phone that was calling he answered in a desperate manner. "Yami?!"
"Listen up Seto, I won't repeat this. Get out of your office now and go to your house. Cancel every appointment you have, don't tell anyone where you are going not even your secretary. When on the road be careful that no one follows you. Turn of your computer and your cell phone after this. And go directly to your house, no detours."
"Why are you telling me this Yami?" Seto was surprised, especially because of the tone of voice his little one was using.
"Everything is going to be explained in your house. Now get out of there, you're in danger."
"Wai-"
Yami had hung up.
Without thinking it twice, Seto turns off his cell phone and his computer and carries Mokuba to his seat and buckles him. Carrying his baby brother and his computer out of his office, he tells his secretary he has some important business to attend, to cancel every appointment, and if anyone calls to asks where he was, to tell them that he went out of town.
Seto goes immediately to his car, buckles Mokuba on the back seat and drives off to his house, looking out for any suspicious car that might be following him.
Seto had so many mixed emotions inside; he didn't know what to think. Did Yami call him because he wanted to get things straight? But that couldn't be; he was being too serious to be a love call, Yami sounded really agitated and his tone of voice uneasy. Yami had said to be on the lookout; but why would people want to follow him? And how did Yami knew about it? Did he have something to do with it? What was going on?
He gets to his house. Rapidly he gets out of his car and takes Mokuba out of it as well as his computer, and they head towards the entrance. Seto grabs his keys and opens the main door finding himself with Yami giving orders and some unknown guys.
"Umm, Yami?" Seto inquires.
"Yugi take the baby and his belonging. Be careful when in the road and take care of him as your own. And also, take care of yourself."
"Will do." Yugi walks to where Seto was standing and takes Mokuba away without asking for permission.
"Yami what's going on? Where is he taking Mokuba? Who are all these people?"
"Joey, how are you doing over there?" Yami ignores Seto once more.
"Karen is being installed perfectly." Joey shouts from the kitchen.
"Good."
"Yami, what's going on? Answer me." Seto demands.
"Are the guns ready Bakura?" Yami acts like if he didn't hear a thing.
"Just two more to go." Bakura responds from the living room.
"Yami!" Seto shouts, getting irritated that his love wasn't answering him.
"Bakura, where's Marik?" Yami goes into the living room, leaving Seto in the hall way.
"Hey, Yami wait!" Seto follows Yami.
"He's changing in the bathroom. You should get your hair done." Bakura looks up and notices that Seto is right behind Yami, waiting for an answer. "Am, Yams, behind you." Bakura called Yami by his nickname.
"What do you want Seto?" Yami asks, without turning around to make eye contact.
"What do I want? You were the one who called me to come here immediately, and then when I came in you ignored me and took away Mokuba. Who the hell was hat kid that took him away?"
"His name is Yugi, he's my little brother, he's 24. You can trust him; he always keeps his promises and is great with kids. Don't worry, he's in good hands."
"But why did I have to hand him over to him."
"Look Seto." Yami turns around and finally sees the tall blue-eyed brunet. "Crawford, the owner of your rival toy company around a month ago told us to spy on you and retrieve important information of your new toy. We gave it to him and today he came requesting us to kill you."
When he heard those last words, Seto took some steps away from Yami. "Kill… me?"
"Yes, kill you. But don't worry we're not here to kill you. We are here to protect you. We said no to his offer and so he went with his second option, Black Blood. They are known publicly as the BB Murderers."
Seto's eyes widen as he heard the name of the most renowned name in Tokyo, the BB Murderers. "The BB is after me?"
"Yes. And that's when we come in. We are here to protect you. They might be loads of guys filled with their shitty arrogance, but I killed their leader, they are no match for me or my friends."
"But why did you decline Crawford's offer to protect me?" Seto didn't understand why Yami had made such a decision.
"There are two reasons why I did so. But I won't tell you neither of them." Yami says coldly.
"Why not?"
"Is there any reason for you to know?"
"Um, well I… No…

3:47 pm
Covered from head to toes with the black suit, the only visible skin is the eyes and the skin between them; hair tied up in a ponytail and hidden inside; an anti-bullet vest that covered the chest; three guns stored somewhere around their bodies at total reach of their hands and five replacements for the bullets; two hand knives and 3 smoke bombs hidden in the vest; ear phone and microphone that connect directly to Karen* and the others. The three assassins are ready to take action.
But they aren't the only ones equipped, Joey also has a vest on with two guns and bullet replacements for the rare occasion that he is found and is in the verge of being killed with no one around. And Seto had been equipped with a vest and a gun, which its usage is only if there is no other option.
Joey is in the basement watching through cameras located all over the Kaiba residence every single movement made and ready to inform to his colleagues if any suspicious movement is spotted.
Bakura is at the entrance waiting for Joey's orders or any comment made by his teammates. Marik is sitting on the stairs that lead to the second floor. Seto and Yami are in the master walk-in closet sitting on the ground, Yami ready to shove Seto into his hiding place, a camouflaged human sized box that looks like a bunch of shoes and clothes in a corner.
"Guys, they just announced it."Joey says through the microphone into his teammates ears. "They have just finished the deal with Crawford. They will attack at midnight when most of the people are asleep and the neighbors will be too sleepy to pull off a fast call to the police. They will meet with the boss of the BB at the entrance of the avenue an hour before they strike and Crawford will be there to give them one third of the payment."
"So we can rest up until 8 or so." Bakura sits down on the floor.
"Don't be so sure, maybe they spotted the bug on Crawford and made all that up, remember we are just able to hear not to see." Marik interferes immediately.
"Like those bastards will ever notice where Joey put the bug. It's in his pocket for crying out loud, unless they've updated their hide out and place something like Karen on the entrance there is no way they will ever know a bug is in his pocket." Yami gets in the conversation.
"True. And if I remember right, Yami you were the one who updated them on technology, there was no one on the team with that kind of knowledge." Marik says proud of his friend.
"And there has been only two additions to their group ever since their leader died and we separated from them. I've researched them both, total idiots." Bakura stands up from the ground. "Hey, I'm going to fix up a sandwich, anyone wants one?"
"Sure." Marik responds. "Extra mustard, no ketchup like always."
"Can you make me two?" Joey says kindly so that Bakura wouldn't get irritated. "And can you put two slices of ham instead of one?"
"Make me one sandwich, no onions, no ketchup, extra cheese." Yami says.
"If I get the orders mixed up, don't get mad. I'm human. And you want any… umm… Seto?" Bakura asks kindly yet his faces expressed unhappiness.
"If it's of no burden." Seto speaks unsure into the microphone.
"Oh it's a burden alright. To have to guard you like this, to even have to ask kindly if you want a sandwich. If it was for me, I'll be killing you right now. Better said, you'd be already dead. But I have to keep this up for your dear beloved Yami; I'm just way to kind hearted with him. You know, he already had enough of broken hearts and you had to come into the picture, mister rich blue eyed son of a bitch brunet motherfucking bastard! Yami was slowly recovering from his last broken heart and you HAD to come and build his heart up by giving him hope, hope is nothing but a useless feeling once it is broken again. You lowlife scum, you-"
"STOP! BAKURA STOP IT." Marik shouts through the microphone and Bakura immediately notices Yami's sob.
Yami was covering his mouth with his hand as tears felt down his cheeks. "If you felt that way Bakura, you weren't obligated to come. And what if he gave me hope? I was the one who didn't want to continue this, don't blame him."
"Yami I'm-"
"Sorry? I know. Don't bring me the sandwich; I just want to be alone for a while."
"Okay…" Bakura glanced over the stairs where his husband was glaring at him. "Don't scold me." He went into the kitchen.
In the master bedroom Yami was on the bed laid sideways looking down thinking and reminding himself why he became an assassin. Seto has been looking at him from the closet's entrance not knowing what to do. His little love was crying but no matter what he did he wouldn't pay attention to him. He had tried to talk to him but it was all like talking to the wall, there was no answer.
The brunet sighs and starts to walk to his bed. "Yami?" He calls out but there was no response what so ever. "Um… can I hug you?" He sits down next to Yami's head. "Yami," Seto brushed Yami's hair with his finger but Yami slapped that hand away. "I…" Seto looks at his hand and bites his lips trying to hold that depressive feeling inside. "I can't stand seeing you like this. And just to think that I'm the one causing you all this pain…"
"You're not. It's what has happened in my past that makes me feel this way."
"And why don't you leave the past behind; live in the present." Seto leans towards Yami's head.
"Everything I do reminds me of my past. My friends, my job, even you."
"Why do I remind you of your past?" Seto raises his brow in shock; it had never been in his mind that he would be reminding Yami of his past.
"You remind me a lot of my second ex-boyfriend, Yosuke. He was arrogant, full of pride, yet sweet with me; he thought everything he did was the correct thing, what he said, had to be done, no excuse about it. He thought me everything I know about spying, assassination, guns and much more; but when he found out that I had surpass him, he tried to kill… But I killed him first… That bastard, he told me that he hated me, that he used me because I was so vulnerable, he never once felt love towards me; God damn it he was married! The worst part was that I gave him my virginity, the same way you gave me yours, blinded by love." Tears fall from Yami's eyes.
Seto rests his body sideways at the same direction and in the same position as Yami's body. "I'm not married, and I didn't give my body to you because I was blinded by love, I gave it to you because it was the right choice; I've always wanted to give my body to the one person that will make me fall head over heels, and not only that, but I wanted that person to love me the same way I love him or her. And the way we spent time together, the way we treated each other, all of those little impulses I had made me realize that you were the one I was looking for, you are the one that makes me happy." Seto wraps his arms around Yami's slender body and caresses his waist. All that Yami did was cry, and though he wanted Seto to stop touching him, his true desires didn't let him tell Seto to fuck off. "I love you Yami, and unlike you ex-boyfriend, I mean it."
Yami turns around in Seto's hug, and when red eyes meet blue, the little one blushes and wraps his arms around the taller one, and their feet intertwine so that their bodies are as close as they can be. "It's been years since I've heard those words being said in that way, with those intentions." Yami places his head over Seto's shoulder. "It feels good to be wanted." He whispers into Seto's ear… "And it feels even better to have such a body press against me…
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:48 pm…
"Do you think Yami is okay?" Bakura asks.
"Well he is with Seto, and he always makes him smile." Marik whispers in his husband's ear.
They are sitting in the stairs, Marik in a step above Bakura, with his legs wide open to let his lover sit in between his legs and hug him from above.
"Fuck." Bakura replies to Marik's comment.
"What?"
"When Yami's that fragile he always looks for an embrace, even though he denies it. And when someone gives him a little affection, he starts to want more, so he begins to seduce that person so that he can receive love, but his way of seducing ends up being more likes sexual harassment, and if you're not careful you'll fall for it and end up hurting him more." Bakura looks down remembering all of those times that he fell for Yami's play.
"I know how it feels; I've also fallen for it." Marik smiles down at his albino boy.
"You have?" Bakura looks up to meet his husband's eyes.
"The first time we only masturbated and kissed, until I realized it and stopped it all. The second time we were both erect and naked, and he was about to give me a blowjob when a call came in, if it wasn't for it, I would have penetrated him or vice versa." Marik faintly smiles at the man under him.
"Most of the times I've fallen for that trick you've found us, and the other times, well… It has gone far enough."
Getting what Bakura meant with it, Marik's face expressed sadness. "I'm sorry for not ever telling you that I've done that with him. I know that you've done a lot of stuff with Yami behind my back, I don't know how many. But I won't stop loving you if you tell me about all of those adventures you've had with him."
The albino chuckles. "You're saying that I've had a lot of adventures with him that you don't know and you want me to tell them now."
"Basically." Marik kisses Bakura's forehead.
"I'll tell you everything, tonight, before going to sleep. It's a promise." Bakura puckers up his lips and waits for Marik's lips.
"A promise." Marik kisses his guy lips.
Bakura grins. "Come on, let's go and check on Yami. He worries me." He stands up and stretched his spine at the same time that Marik crawls up a few steps to the second floor.
Bakura goes to where his husband was standing and holing hand they go to where the entrance to the master bedroom is. The albino reaches for the doorknob and opens the door. His eyes widen at the view, he couldn't believe what he was looking at. "Atem Yami Mutou!"
