YA: Hu, hu, hu! I said it'll be a while until I updated, ya? Well, I
finished all my homework for now (yeah for now) so I'll update. LOL You
readers are so funny! I got plenty of reviews of everybody killing Bandit
Keith. Well, yeah, he deserved it. But to our dismay, I have to resurrect
him. He has to be in this chapter and the next. Then you can kill him
permanently.
Bandit Keith: I LIVE!!!!
YA: Shut up.
Bandit Keith: Make me!
YA: You shut up or I'll get Blue Lagoon to kill you with no mercy like the first time!
Bandit Keith: *gulp*
YA: And Daisy too!
Bandit Keith: Fine, I'll hush.
YA: No, I clearly said, 'Shut up.' So shut up so people can read this. Geez.
Another night of bliss, as the blond angel sleeps in my arms. No further contact to prevent sudden shock, it's a shame he still doesn't know how I feel about him. I don't have the courage to tell him, for fear I will have my heart broken by such an innocent angel. Each time I think of what he says, my heart is torn. I was so close to telling him. I wish I was oblivious to how he was feeling; otherwise I would have-would have taken certain actions without regret. I shake the cruel thought from my head.
'He's already changed me.' I thought to myself. 'The moment he let his chestnut eyes fall into mine.' He stirs as if he heard me thinking of him. I want one last request before he leaves.
"Jounouchi?"
"Hm?"
"Would you do something for-with me?" His head lifts as he gazes into my eyes once more. I feel the lump in my throat again. "Would you allow me to take you out, tonight?" He smiles and it melts me.
"Sure."
"It would mean so much to me." I reply, not knowing the cracking in my voice has caught his attention. He spins around so he's facing me.
"Seto?" I look away. He's close enough to see my eyes glisten with sorrow. "Are you hurt?" Am I hurt? Hurt is not the word that describes what I'll feel once he's gone. The more I imagine him gone, the more I get a stabbing pain in my heart. Which is why, I would like, no, love to spend this last evening with him.
"No." I lie. "I-I-I." Jounouchi drops his hands, confused and disappointed. I look down at him with a false smile to mask the frown. "Let's go now. Just the two of us." His face tells me he's still unsure about my emotions, but I don't give him the time to figure out what I feel. I lift myself up, letting him spill from my lap and collapse on my bed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I see them sir!"
"Yes."
"They are exiting. But Seto Kaiba is with him and from the looks of it; he looks like he's very protective over him!"
"Not for long, Jay. I'll get my beautiful prize." Keith looks through his binoculars and licks his lips seductively (a/n: ewww). "Gawd, he's delicious looking."
"Sir?"
"Any word that I said that and I'll have your head, Jay."
"I'm forgetting now, sir."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Before I take two steps out of the door, I feel Jounouchi clutch my arm and playfully hold me tight. I didn't mean to, but I smiled and held him closely to my side.
"Where are we going?" he asks excitedly, almost squealing.
"We didn't have anything to eat all day. I'm taking you to dinner first."
"Mm! Sounds good!" I chuckle by this exclamation. I feed on his happiness but its shame that it's only temporary. Another on of my attendants rode my motorcycle to us and I give him a light tip. Two helmets sat on the bar of the bike and I toss one to Jou. He clumsily catches it, making me laugh.
"Let's go in style."
I usually don't choose to ride the motorcycle around town because it's unprofessional. But today, I'm neither at work nor working for any one. It's one of those pleasure moments that you never want to let go. I rev the motor, startling Jounouchi. His clutching tightly around my waist gives me an edge that I hungered for. With a screech, we raced down the street.
Today I felt like bending all the rules. Running red lights, cutting in front of traffic and scaring the pedestrians. I did it all just to hear Jou scream behind me. It was a stimulating moment, never in such a long time have I felt alive, although the passenger behind me probably felt like he was about to die. Nearing the restaurant I decide to thrill him one last time. I jerked the bike up to pop a wheelie.
"Seto! You jerk!" screams Jounouchi. "I'm gonna have a heart attack!" I release the wheelie and skid into a parking lot. Taking off the damp helmet, I let out a devilish laughter.
"That was great!" Jounouchi mumbled some rude words before glaring at me making me laugh even more. I chose the table outside so we could view the sunset. From across the table, Jounouchi rested his head on his hand, staring out, like he was dreaming.
"I never thought I'd be able to see the sun again." He said, continuing to stare. I didn't respond to his statement. I was too caught up at how he was looking in the setting hues of red and gold. It was striking at how good he was looking. We both didn't notice the waitress until she lightly tapped the table. I blinked confusingly while Jounouchi gave a nervous giggle. I wasn't in the mood for something heavy so I ordered a light potato soup (a/n: sounds good Seto!) but Jounouchi thought different. He ordered appetizers, the dinner and desert. My jaw dropped at how he was woofing down the food, nearly choking about three times! Then again, after what he's been through, he can have whatever he wants and how much he wants. After all, I can afford it.
"It's so quiet." He mumbled with food in his mouth. There was light music playing from inside, a soft mellow tone with a slight upbeat. He jumped out of his seat quickly. "Come here!" I looked up from the soup, surprised at his outstretched hands. Standing up, he grasps my hands and holds them close, drawing me in.
"Dance? I don't dance." I groan.
"Yes you can!"
"I don't dance, Jou!" He pouts and turns his head away from me.
"Don't say my name like that! It sounds so sharp. Dance with me!" I gave in and shuffled along with him. Any passerby outside seeing us like this would die from the glare I would give them. But once my head was turned back to Jounouchi's, it was all smiles. It ended too quickly, as soon as it started. I motion the waitress to come and take the money for the food.
"Let's go over there!" he squealed. Before I could protest, he drags me to the small park across the restaurant. Like I child he runs to the slide and climbs the latter. It was the slide for the older children, more thrilling with its twists and turns. Big enough for an adult but not as fun. Gravity pulls him all the way giving him a clumsy landing at the end, right on his face. I shake my head in embarrassment and help him up, brushing the sand off his face.
"I had enough fun for today." I say and walk to the swings sitting down. The sun before us was beginning to show the last of its light. Our surroundings, not gold anymore, but a mixture of dusky reddish blue hue. He sits on the swing beside me, swinging lightly. The silence between us killed me inside. I wanted to say so much, tell him everything, and give my soul to him.
"I told you my story." He breaks the silence. "Now tell me yours."
"Huh?" he nods to urge me on. "I was born on the 5th day of-"
"No, Seto!" he giggles. "You were trying to say something to me earlier. I can sense it." I sigh very heavily.
"I don't know if I can tell you."
"Fine." He says and pouts. The silence lingers again and I can't take it anymore. It was now or never that I tell him. The only problem I had was being rejected. Rejected or not, I'll tell him because either way I'll lose him.
"Jounouchi, listen carefully. I'm not sure why before, before this all happened I treated you the way I did. But when I saw you, something burst within me that never happened with anyone else. This wouldn't feel right if I didn't tell you this tonight." I turn to look at him finally. "I don't want you to leave, Jounouchi. I'm sorry about what happened to you but you and I both learned something here. You belong here, with me."
"What are you telling me?"
"I'm telling you we both need each other. But I don't want you to need me if you don't feel the same way that I do. I don't want this feeling to linger just around me. I want you to feel it too. This feeling-"
"Spit it out, Seto!" I grit my teeth at his sudden seriousness.
"I love you, Jounouchi. And I don't want you to leave." My heart threatens to break my ribs it was caged in and my grip on the chains became so tight it hurt. I jumped a little when he stood up so suddenly.
"NO!" he yelled. "Don't say that to me! Don't do this, Seto!" He hugged himself and shuddered. "I don't even know what that means anymore. My family never showed me, my friends were never that close to me. And after what Keith done to me, I realize that such an emotion does not exist!" He sharply turns to me. "So don't give me that crap! How can you be so selfish! Wanting me to stay here against my wishes in this shanty town called Domino? Where that terrible monster roams like an angry lion trying to find me? HOW COULD YOU???"
I get off the swing, pacing to him. Placing my hands on his shaking shoulders and looking into his eyes were a crime. And with every crime comes a punishment. I saw his hand move at a blinding speed and the sting that followed on my cheek. I release him, rubbing the new bruise that was given to me. He backed away from me, the fear that was in his eyes that was there before along with the crackling anger that was rising within him.
"You're no better than Bandit Keith! Trying to keep me locked up in this city!" He stomped away and from the direction he was heading, I could tell he was going home. What I was feeling right now, was it the feeling I feared that I would receive? It hurt worse than I imagined. It weakened me to the point where I fell to my knees in agony. My heart felt it was being ripped from the protective layer of my chest. That's all I could hear besides the echoes of his hurtful words, was my beating heart. So lonely and empty. The darkness has completely covered the park increasing the loneliness with every minute.
Why did I let the barrier down to him? I left my guard down just to let him enter into my world and it leaves me shattered. Instead of releasing the songbird on a happy note, he in turned morphed into an angry beast and attacked me when I was most vulnerable. As I calm, I realize that what I've done was wrong but either way, rejected or not, I wanted to tell him. My deed has been done and my mission is complete. As I spin on my heel to ride my motorcycle, the feeling that I had was there once again. The feeling that told me Jounouchi was in trouble. When I glance at the corner where he disappeared to, I see him turn it with a troubled look on his face. He spins around quickly and runs in my direction.
A black car drives alongside him and someone grabs him before he reaches me. On command, I hop on my motorcycle and begin pursuit immediately. 'I'm coming, Jounouchi! I gave you my word as a Kaiba that I'd protect you!'
*Flashback*
Jounouchi coughs in the middle of the night after waking from another nightmare. His coughing is raw and disturbing waking Seto from his sleep.
"Are you alright? Another dream?" Jounouchi nods.
"He's going to take me again!" he claws at his skin in frustration and Seto stops him.
"Is that what you're afraid of?" Seto asked, taking Jounouchi's shaky hands into his own. "Jounouchi, I give you my word as a Kaiba that I won't let anything happen to you!" Jounouchi swallows hard.
"Yes?"
"Yes. No harm will come to you! Not as long as I'm around."
*End of Flashback*
The car is a ways ahead of me and I have a hard time keeping up with it. The car slips over a hill and lands continuing its speed. I have only one chance of catching up to it, so I take this chance. Just before the jump, I speed up, hanging tightly to the bars. Over the hill I fly and see the car below me. The landing will only be a one chance thing, so I pray that I do it just right. As much as I wish, it's not enough and I crash to the ground ahead of the car. Tumbling, the ground which once I claimed and stood over it was beating me! I was at its mercy as I lay still under the battered vehicle.
My will to save Jounouchi doesn't keep me down and out however. On unsteady legs I raise myself and step away from the wrecked motorcycle underneath me. The car is coming at me with great speed, but I stand my ground. The car comes to a halt and the door swings opened, throwing Jounouchi's body out. I cringe, fearing that Keith already killed him during the pursuit but to my relief, he gets up and runs to me.
"SETO!" he cries, wrapping his arms around me tightly. I return the embrace but continue to stare at the black car until he comes out. He steps out casually and raises his hands in the air.
"Too bad. I'll feel guilty if I can't have my way with Jounouchi with you still alive." He tsks and comes closer. "Especially after that hard work of taking care of him. The fun for me can start all over." I hold him tighter growling under my breath. I feel Jounouchi bury his face deeper into my chest in fear. He refuses to look "death" in the eye.
"What will it take for you to leave him alone?" Each time he takes a step forward, his feet crunching against the broken gravel beneath up, Jounouchi pushes me back.
"I would be glad to fight for him." He says through his teeth.
"He's not an animal to be won! And that's not what I asked you!" He laughs.
"You'll have to get rid of me or else I keep coming back to get him." I smile at the thought of killing him.
"As tempting as it sounds to kill you, I won't risk me being locked up for doing such a felony." He edges closer; he's beginning to reach out for Jounouchi in a hungry manner which is making me annoyed. "Okay, fine! I'll fight for him! But if I win, you leave the both of us, no, you leave the country and never return." He nods in agreement.
"Sounds fair. But if I win, I take Jounouchi and you leave us alone. I won't banish you out of the country." And under his breath I hear, "Because I want you to suffer, knowing that he's near but you can't get to him."
"Agreed." I close the statement, feeling the young boy grip tighter.
"Good, meet us at the abandoned warehouse near the lake. Bring the boy with you." He gets in the car and skids off. Jounouchi's grip loosens and he collapses to his knees, still holding on to my legs.
"Don't do it, Seto!" he cries. "He'll kill you!"
"I can't let him win. He'll keep coming after you if I don't win this."
"No." he moans. He releases me and stands. Holding himself, he seems unsteady as if about to faint any second.
"Remember my promise." I whisper. He nods and reaches out to me. Taking his hand, we walk to the abandoned warehouse together.
