"KAIBA HEEEEEELP! HELP! RAPE! HEEEELP!"
Jou's screams were heard all the way down to the room Kaiba had rented for an office. He believed that if he got a separate space just for this, he could do his job for Kaiba Corp. by his laptop without any further disturbances, but nooooo, someone had to go and make a fuss! And he had almost finished! "What the f…" He started swearing, but then gave up on it. He got up and rushed upstairs, thinking that if it was a prank, he'd murder everybody! The mutt calling his name for help was suspicious enough! Why can't some people understand that he wasn't like them, that he had serious business to run, and how irritating it was to interrupt him every ten seconds? In be back of his head though, he couldn't help but worry. What if someone had broken in and Jou was in real trouble? That thought made him almost ran towards the bathroom, open the door and…
"Oh Jou-kun, you're so fucking hot, you know that? Oh but of course you do, with a body and a face like that you could get anyone you'd want to… Boy or girl." Ayaka was whispering lustily into Jou's ear, while she was running her tongue onto his neck. Strangely, he looked like he didn't have the best of times, trying desperately to remove her hands from around his waist and prevent them from entering his pants… He was flushed all over, shirt ripped apart, fighting to shove her off but not succeeding, seeming to have an internal battle – obviously, his upper head was disagreeing with his lower. And Ayaka noticed. "Oooh, you're so hard!" She taunted him and let out a small laugh.
Kaiba let his jaw drop to the ground. His mind emptied in a matter of seconds, for he was unable to comprehend the situation in front of his eyes. He could feel cold sweat running near his temples. The worst possible scenarios flashed though his mind; he was such a fucking idiot! Opening up to them! Believing in them! Only to be mocked like this, when the fuck would he learn that he could trust absolutely nobody? How could he get humiliated like…
"WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT, HELP ME!" Jou's scream brought him back to reality. "Can't you see that there's something wrong with her?" The blond finally managed to shove the redhead off, who fell right into Kaiba's arms by her back. As soon as Ayaka just smelled Kaiba, she turned over and looked at him with such lustful eyes that he'd never seen in anyone before. She looked like she was possessed. No wonder why Jou was this scared. But he returned her a cold gaze and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh Kaiba-kun, I was talking about this with Jou, you will join us, it'll be so great!" She grabbed him by his white trench coat and got ready to smash her body onto his… But instead of that, her left cheek met such a hard slap, that she collapsed on the floor.
"Hey don't hit her!" Jou protested, but Kaiba shot him such a detesting gaze, that made him shut up immediately.
"You had Viagra for breakfast, Asha?" He told her coldly. She was on her knees, her hair covering her face, and she was holding her stinging cheek. She didn't say anything for some minutes, but then a wolfish grin was plastered all over her face. She looked up at him with eyes shining madly.
"That felt so good!" She told him huskily. "You can do it again, you can spank me as hard as you want, and I'll be at your mercy…"
"Jyounouchi, do you have that sleeping draught in a spray?"
"What? No! Why would I? Now you'll drug her?" Jou was at a complete loss, but grabbed the opportunity to get rid of the remains of his old shirt and slipped into another, beige one that he'd left in the bathroom previously. It was a joy to be dressed once again!
"I won't." He grabbed Ayaka from her right ponytail and dragged her to her room, ignoring screams of the type 'pull my hair like that when you pound into me', shoved her in and double-locked the door. "But I'd sure as hell love to know who did." His voice was dripping venom. He had slapped her to shock her, but if even that didn't work, it meant that someone had done something serious to her.
"Someone drugged her?" Jou repeated dizzily. He could hear Ayaka clawing from behind the door and moaning to let her out.
"Of course, didn't you see how she was? It's not normal, no matter how turned on someone might be…" He made a grimace. Surely he didn't like the idea. He glared at Jou accusingly, and the blond noticed.
"What? Don't tell me you think it was me!" Jou's eyes widened. "That's ridiculous! Why would I call for you if I was the one who drugged her?"
Kaiba had to admit that there was some logic in that. "Well you seemed like you were having a nice time." Every word of his was dripping poison.
"Wha…" Jou didn't know what to answer, for he was the one scared out of his wits when Ayaka attacked him. "Well you know what? You're just jealous that she chose me over you!"
There are some sensitive spots in people… And Jou realized that he had just found Kaiba's. The brunette didn't answer, just turned around to slowly face him, with gritted teeth and curled fists. Jou's lips formed a smirk that was growing wider as he spoke: "Oh, so really that's it! She could have gone to you, but she chose me instead! Maybe she just prefers me then, huh?"
Kaiba approached him until he was standing right before him, staring right into the chocolate eyes with his infamous glare, the one guaranteed to make grown men cry. "Don't go there with me Jyounouchi. I'm warning you. You won't like this game."
"Funny, because I think I've already won this." Jou shrugged and looked into Kaiba's eyes daringly. He wasn't interesting in Ayaka this way at all, but having a chance to win over Kaiba for once, was way too big a chance to ignore. His own arrogant expression was so much enjoyable. Kaiba didn't say anything, just turned around in a flash of a second and disappeared at the stairs.
Jou remained alone for some moments. Victory didn't taste as good as he thought it would. He'd hurt Kaiba, at last, but… he didn't like it. He could hear Ayaka still clawing at the door and moaning names, but she was sick… She didn't know what she was doing. That didn't mean she'd chose him over somebody else, but Kaiba, having a crush on her, would believe she did. Guilt was building up inside him by every passing second. What would he do if Mai… Wait, if Kaiba tried something with Mai to get back at him? Shit!
He run downstairs and spotted Kaiba the moment he was opening the door to get into his office. "Kaiba wait!" He called at him and ran to where he was. Kaiba seemingly ignored him, but then Jou caught up to him and took his hand into his own. "I said wait!"
"Don't touch me mutt!" Kaiba ripped his hand away from the blonde's. He sighed exasperated. "What do you want? Don't tell me you thought I'd stoop so low as to start a game with you and lay the moves on Kujaku to get revenge on you?"
Damn you and your psychic powers! Jou fumed. "It's not that!" He partly lied. "I just… I… I'm sorry!" Kaiba raised an eyebrow. Jou continued: "I shouldn't have said… all the things I said." He looked down. "I'm sorry, honestly. I don't know what got into me, I was just being mean!" He didn't know what else to say. "I know you…"
"Just how much," Kaiba interrupted him, and Jou looked up. Those blue eyes were stony, but also hurt. "Just how much do you enjoy toying with me?"
"Toying? I'm not…"
"Oh please!" Kaiba exploded. "All this time, all of you, and especially you: I'm not going to help you Kaiba, but I will! I'm not thanking you Kaiba, but I am! I hate you Kaiba, but I don't! I don't like you Kaiba, but I do, are you just TRYING to fuck with my head?" He ran a hand into his hair, messing it, he couldn't keep up with all those contradictions anymore. "And now, I've won Kaiba, but I'm sorry, I haven't! Can't you just decide to act a specific way, so I can finally understand…"
"What do you think human relationships are? Computer algorithms?" Jou asked him, a bit shocked from all those revelations. "You can't expect people to act only in one way and thus, predict their following actions! We're more complicated than that… At least, most of us."
"Oh yes, I forgot: Just like Mazaki says, I'm a robot with circuits for veins, so I would expect an algorithm from a human!"
"I didn't say that… And you are quite contradictive yourself, if you'd noticed!" Jou pointed out. Kaiba always acted like he detested them, but he was always there to help them in hard times. It irritated Jou also as much; he understood Kaiba's internal turmoil. Why did it have to be so hard?
"I know what I am…! I just can't figure out yet what you are, but if there's one thing for sure, you enjoy torturing me to one extent, from what I realised today." If not, you wouldn't have smiled like that.
"I was just being a bit mean! And you're the last person who has the right to talk about…" The soft lips of the brunette silenced him abruptly.
Almost a full time minute passed before Katsuya comprehended what was happening. He was kissing him! The bastard was kissing him! Was there out a disease or something today, with the name HJ – Harass Jou? He tried weakly to shove the other boy off, but the arms of the taller man quickly snaked around his waist and behind his head, preventing him from moving. Jou was so dizzy and confused, that opened his mouth to give the other access, even though Seto hadn't asked for it. He just forgot where he was standing, what he was doing; he grabbed the other's shirt and kissed back passionately. He could feel hands all over his back, the warm tongue inside his mouth… And then the brunette pulled away. That was some awful landing in reality.
"I told you not to go there with me. I know how to be mean too, as you saw." Kaiba whipped his lips with the back of his hand, turned around, walked into his office and closed the door behind him. The sound echoed in Jou's ears like a shot. The blond fell on his knees. What the fuck was he doing? Why did he kiss back? Wasn't he in love with Mai? Kaiba wanted just to humiliate him, and he knew that, why did he kiss back? Why did he lose every sense of reality? Why, why…
"Because I haven't been harassed enough for one day?" He slammed his hand onto Kaiba's door. What the fuck was going on! Tears found their way up his eyes and he fought to hold them back. But he lost. His pride was in pieces, he couldn't handle it anymore. Kaiba knew he'd kiss back! That's why he kissed him in the first place! Why? He wasn't homosexual, he was sure, confident and secure about that for himself and for the brunette. Why did he pull off this bullshit? Why was Kaiba always winning, always first, always the best… I hate you, I hate you so much, and I hate the fact that in reality, I don't! I hate you I hate you I hate you! He almost cried it out.
From the other side of the door, Seto was leaning on it. He buried his face in his hands. He could hear the blond sobbing from the other side. He didn't have the time to console him. He didn't have the time to consider if he was too cruel with him. He didn't have the time to think if he should apologise. He didn't have the time to check on Ayaka. He had to finish his work for Kaiba Corp., money would just come out by themselves. And he had to search for Ancient Greek Artefacts, he'd read something about Zeus's locket, otherwise they'd stay here forever. No one else can search; he has to do the job… He has to work… Work…
Something hit both of their backs hard. They turned to see, but couldn't determine what it was.
In Royal Olympic Hotel, another problem was taking place.
"Come on here, you sexy Thieeeeeefff…"
"NO! SHUT UP!"
"Wow, it's really that bad, huh?" Malik commented. The situation was both for crying and for laughing. Personally, he preferred to laugh. But obviously Yami Bakura was very pissed. Amaya was making some very alluring suggestions for about an hour, from inside the broom closet he'd locked her in.
"Like a bitch in the heat!" He was almost pulling his hair out. "I don't know what to do with her, if I let her with your other self he'll rape her, and if I hear her for another minute, I'll kill her! You clear things up!"
"Are you crazy? I'm not getting in there!" Malik eyed the closet fearfully. "Why should I be the one getting raped?"
"Because… you seem to be the nicest?" The Thief blinked, trying to seem falsely kind.
"Nice try. But I'd rather buy a ticket to Alaska. If I do her, I sense that you'll kill me either way."
"That doesn't change my plans; I'll kill you all when I get Nerissa's power anyways!"
"You'll get what?" Yami Malik laughed evilly at those words. "You lowly Thief! I will be the one who gets Nerissa's powers! Why don't you let me have the girl now? Listen at those moans! She's begging me to give her a ride! Come on, I'll give her a good time, I'll fuck the living daylights out of her and she'll be pleading me for more… If I'm in a nice mood, I won't even kill her! I don't bite… hard. You know what I mean?" He licked his lips intensely with his tongue and winked at the other two.
Yami Bakura's fist collided with Yami Malik's cheek with such power it threw him to the next wall. "Watch your mouth, disgusting freak." He spat, and soon enough they started creating a mess on the floor. Malik sighed, put on his earplugs, and sat on the couch, grabbing a magazine. They'd calm down, eventually. There was nothing to rush for.
From inside the closet, Amaya was starting to gradually regain her original consciousness. Inside the tornado of lustful feelings, she tried to communicate with Ayaka, and desperately ignore thoughts of the kind: Would Zeus's locket have the shape of a phallus? Could it be used as a vibrator? Finally, they caught up to each other:
We're screwed! Amaya's first thought was that.
Unfortunately, I'm not yet! Ayaka moaned.
Shut up! I'm talking about Nerissa! We're under her spell! Oh, I can see from inside the keyhole Yami Bakura and Yami Malik fucking with each other! No wait… They're just fighting! How boring!
Under her spell? When will it end? Oh, do you know I made Kaiba and Jou kiss each other? It was so hot! Kaiba's office is right under my room, I just used my innocent attractive powers!
I think it wears off after a day… But if she uses it to everyone, we're in real trouble. Wait, you made them kiss? Hot…But you could have made them fuck instead!
I know…But I wanted to be a part of it, and I can't get out from the room they've locked me into! Ayaka whined. I'll do my best the next time!
You can't? Me neither! It affects our powers! …But maybe I should try it with the two Yami's I have in here, he he!
Amy, I'm losi…
Amaya suddenly was left all by herself again… She didn't have attractive powers damn it, but she could do something about that lock! She placed her hand on the door knob… And it melted, oh yeah! She opened it up carefully, and spotted Malik, who was completely absorbed by the magazine, and the other two who were still fighting. "HELLO BOYS!" She couldn't hide herself, jumped high and landed onto Yami Malik and Yami Bakura, placing her hand onto Yami Malik's crotch by – mistake?
"OH SHIT!" Yami Bakura tried to hide her in his arms, unsuccessfully of course.
"OH YEAH!" Yami Malik made a move to grab her breast. Yami Bakura kicked him.
"Wait wait wait stop it!" Malik took of his earplugs and moved to take her away, but tripped and fell onto the other three. There was a time when they didn't know where their hands, legs, and necks were, if, for example, the hand next to them belonged to them or to someone else… Bakura felt someone grabbing his ass, and it turned out o be Yami Malik, so thing got even more complicated… But Amaya thought she was in heaven.
In Amalia Hotel, Yami Yuugi was far too ignorant for all the things that were happening with Amaya. He was sitting in his room, trying to do his research about the Greek Gods, when someone knocked at his door.
"Come in." He said, and Mai walked in. "What's up, Mai?"
"Nothing, I wondered if you have some extra sheets…"
"Yeah sure, take what you want." Yami shrugged, and she moved on, opened up his closet, took the sheets and got out. After five minutes, someone was knocking again. "Come in." Yami said. Mai walked in again. "What's up now, Mai?"
"Do you have any…" She looked around, and her eye fell on his desk. "Maps. I need a map."
"Yeah, okay…" He gave her a map, eyeing her suspiciously. Her eyes were very weird. He watched her until she got out, but as soon as she closed the door, she got in again.
"I need and a pillow… And one of your jackets. And some money. And one of your belts, you have many belts… And some Duel Monsters cards… Monsters. And magic cards. And trap cards. And…"
"What's gotten into you?" Yami yelled and shot up. "Mai, seriously, why are you acting so weird?"
"Hey, don't you yell at me!" She shook her finger around. Then she pointed at him: "You're mine too!"
Yami almost choked. "E-excuse me? Jou wouldn't be very happy hearing this!"
"No. You're mine. You're my friend." Yami let out a sigh of relief, but it didn't last long. "You're my man too!"
Yami didn't know what to do, what to say, how to act. This was science fiction. "Mai, I'm not your…"
"No! You are! You are my man!" She stomped her foot down. "And Jou is my man! And Kaiba! And Otogi! And…"
"Okay, okay, I get it; you want to go to Jou for now?" Yami tried to treat her like a mentally ill person. Was she drunk? It didn't seem so. If he could, he'd put her into a strait-jacket. He grabbed her hand and took her to Jou's room, thinking that he could dump her there, but he came across another unpleasant surprise. Jou was completely sulking sitting on a chair and looking at the floor. He didn't even raise his hand to look at them when they walked in. "Jou, Mai is here. She'd come to me previously…" Yami tried to inform him. "She's acting weird…" Apparently she isn't the only one.
"And what do I care?" Jou spat venomously. "Why would she come to a loser like me? Of course she'd come to you first! I have no money, no job, my father is a drunken bastard and you all think that I'll be the same… You and Kaiba think that you are so much better, right? Always winning and always having what you want… Always triumphing over others, in any cost and in any way…"
"What?" Yami couldn't believe in his ears. What was so wrong with both of them? "Okay, just… sort things out!" He left hem there and headed towards Bakura's room. He didn't get in. He heard noise from inside, and just picked a look from the keyhole. He saw Bakura throwing away books, turning over the furniture, and screaming like a wounded animal, demonized. He almost resembled his other self, Yami Bakura. He could barely understand what he was saying:
"GO TO HELL ALL OF YOU, I DON'T NEED YOU…"
Yami almost ran to Isis. He knocked at her door frantically. "Isis open up! I need to speak to you!" No response. "Isis! I'm the Pharaoh; I demand you open the door!"
That got her attention. But only a bit. She opened her door just a slice, so Yami could only see her eye: "I'm sorry, but right now I've much more important things to do." She ran a hand through her hair. "So another time maybe… Oh, and just for the record: You were a Pharaoh. Now you're just a short kid that's only the winner in a childish card game." And she closed the door in his face.
Yami almost tripped over from the shock. Isis would never speak to him this way… Someone sane… Kaiba! Okay, not the brightest example of sanity, but from getting nothing… He ran towards the CEO's room. He knocked the door but no one answered. His patience ran out. He stormed into the room, only to see Kaiba lying on the couch, looking at the ceiling. "I knocked, why didn't you open?" He narrowed his eyes.
Kaiba just turned his head to face him. "I was bored." He told the other honestly. Something was wrong there too.
"Your laptop is on… Don't you have work to do?" Yami asked, praying to get a proper answer… But no such luck.
"I'll do it later, I'm too bored to do it now… And it was too troublesome to go there to shut it off."
"It's only two feet away." Yami observed coldly.
Kaiba looked at him again innocently. "What's your point?"
When a workaholic is too bored to work, then pigs can definitely fly. Yami tried to restrain himself from strangling Kaiba, and headed to Ayaka's room. It was his last chance. He was so angry that he could feel the blood accumulating in his head. When he got there, he tried to open the door. It was locked. "Ayaka, why is the door locked?" He shouted, irritated.
"Kaiba locked me in!" Came the whiny voice from inside. "He said I was drugged or sick, I'm not sick… Really, Yami, what underwear are you wearing right now? Boxers? Slips? Or maybe you're going commando, oh commando is SO hot…"
Yami ran away from the hotel in the speed of lightning. As much as he despised to, as much as he disliked it…
…He had to go to the Thief.
And ask for an alliance.
Zeus's locket was far forgotten now. Nerissa played with it in her hands. Oh, they just underestimated me so much…Poor little witches! Thinking you can defy me! But I'll have some more fun I think! She licked the locket sadistically. Her eyes were demonic.
