The Dark Side: And Lead Me Into Temptation

Manta sighed as he pulled himself out of Yoh, who lay below him on the

bed, gripping at the bed tightly and panting.

+Exhilerating.+ he thought quietly. +Possibly a bit rough though.+ He

frowned and took Yoh's hand in his own, watching his lover regain

control and shuder in the remaining afterwave of release.

As Manta stood up and jumped down off of the bed, he put a cover over

Yoh gently, knowing he had no reason to need to tell Yoh where he was

going to because they'd done the same routine so often.

The bathroom door closed and there was silence in the room but for

Yoh's breathing and the sound of music and water, which was coming from

the bathroom.

Yoh put one hand on his stomach as he closed his eyes, but quickly

re-opened them as he heard the window creak open.

Standing over him was Ren, glaring to him through his blue-green eyes,

watching him very closely.

"R- Ren!" Yoh started to yell in surprise, but he was cut off before he

could say anything more, as Ren's hand flew over his mouth.

"Asakura. News for you." he said.

Yoh glared cooly up at Ren, still too tired to move much.

"Switch off."

At this, both he and Yoh fell faint, the two of them passing out as

their eyes went blank, Ren landing sprawled on the ground with a thud.

Moments later, Ren sat up off the ground, watching Yoh's movements for

a moment. "Three. Two." he began to count. "One."

At this moment Yoh's eyes flew open as he jolted upright, his arms

behind his back as though they'd been being held there tightly.

Looking around, Yoh growled. "Why have you pulled me from my battle?"

he asked as his cold glare fell on Ren.

"You're not to harm another inch of his mind. That includes his son's.

Hear that?" Ren asked him, an ominous and forbidden tone creeping into

his own voice.

"Who are you to inform me of what I am or am not to do?"

"I am the one who granted you permission to use the spell to awaken

you."

A subtle smirk reached Yoh's lips as he reached his arms out to Ren and

bent him to his knees as he stood up before him. "I've got a good

memory of that. But." he said.

"But what?" Ren demanded, finding a small blush creeping onto his

cheeks as his eyes fell on Yoh's thighs, inches from him.

"I was permitted to choose who would use it to awaken me." Yoh replied

in a whisper as he took Ren's hands and put them on his thighs, then

moved his hands to rest on the back of Ren's neck. "I chose the Shaman.

I know the prophecy. The child could have been my downfall." he added.

"But if I win, the child will die, I get my revenge on everyone, the

Shaman and his lover will split up for this lifetime, be reborn in the

next, and he'll be alone the rest of his life this time."

"That can't be allowed to happen."

Yoh pulled Ren's head closer to him and shuddered as he felt Ren's

breath hit his skin, noticing him move a little closer by himself.

"You can't honestly say that at least part of your vessel doesn't want

this. He likely does."

"He may or may not wish for it, but either way, it's not allowed to

happen." Ren insisted as his actions contradicted his words and he

pushed Yoh back against the bed, holding onto his hips.

"Anubis, you are losing." Yoh groaned out as Ren's lips brushed over his

stomach.

Jumping back, Ren's eyes went wide for a second as he turned his head to

fae the bathroom door before looking back to Yoh.

"Yoh is strongly attractive in Ren's eyes. Ren merely resumed control

for a moment and realized his mistake." Ren stated matter-of-factly

while Yoh watched him with amusement written on his expression.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Yoh asked impatiently.

"You've gotten too close to killing someone. The girl was this close to

making herself at home in the Spirit World. A Shaman cannot take a life

or they lose what they have. Thusly, you're being ordered to exit this

Shaman boy." Ren said.

"Was that it? You pulled me from meeting the child for battle because

of that?" Yoh growled out.

"How ignorant are you, honestly, Akovara?"

"I'm going. Anubis, your vessel can do mine ten ways 'til eternity for

all I care. I have an unborn child's purity to slaughter."

"I am keeping my eyes on you, Akovara." Ren warned Yoh as he jumped back

out of the window and closed it before Yoh regained his control over his

body.
