K: Awww… We're sorry! Did we leave you guys on an evil cliffie last time? *mocking grin*
Y: *scowls* Oya, oya- *pokes her aibou* Do your f-ing homework…
K: *pouts, but walks away and goes to do it, grumbling about 'f-ing weather graphs'* Fine…
Y: Ain't she too cute when she's pissed? ^-~ *rubs hands together excitedly* BWA HA HA HA HA!!! _MY_ TURN!!! *types furiously on the keyboard*
Disclaimer: Would they have put Katsuya with Yuugi if we owned it? *points to giant fanart piccy she and Ko-chan drew of demon Yami nearly kissing Yuugi with the words 'With the right motivation, even good boys go bad' written behind them* HELL NO!!
Warnings: If you don't know the standard by now, why are you f-ing here?
Mou Hitori no Boku: Chie no Oten da NaThe Other Me: Tainted Wisdom
Well, this is a surprise, to say the least… Saved by KAIBA-SEMPAI, of all people! NO ONE could've predicted that… Chotto- why is he here anyway? I thought he left just before the… incident…
"K- Kaiba?! What are YOU doing here?!" Jounochi exclaimed, a bit suspicious…
Okei, maybe that's an understatement…. How about so suspicious he was pinning him to the door? I sweatdropped a little, but blinked when I noticed Kaiba-kun staring at me from over Katsuya's arm. I blushed faintly at his piercing gaze, but he didn't waver in the slightest. In fact, I could've sworn I saw a trace of amusement in his cerulean eyes…
"A- ano sa… N- nani o shite imasu ka, Kaiba-sempai…?" Um.. What are you doing, Upperclassman Kaiba…? I questioned timidly, Kami-sama, I sound so weak! Then again, the look he was giving me made me shiver- it was scaring me…
He grinned, making a chill run down my spine. "Daijoubu ga, Yuugi? You got out okei, ne? Are you okay, Yuugi?
/As fine as a guy being possessed half the time by someone who constantly beats him can be…/ I snorted, hearing a dark chuckle in return.
//Still aren't finished bitching, mortal?//
Why oh why wouldn't he just leave me the hell alone already?! I sigh, then nod in answer to Kaiba's earlier question.
"I'm as well physically as any other day, if that's what you mean…"
The brunette frowned, pretty much ignoring Jou-kun and focusing on me. I'm sure Jounochi doesn't like that, and would most likely get angry at any other time, but, after hearing my answer, all thoughts of revenge are pushed aside and he turns to me with worried eyes.
"Kare o ni ga gen'in de, ne?" Because of him, right?
I nod, and Kaiba-kun raised an eyebrow. "Who is this guy you keep talking about? You said something about him before, so who is he?"
I opened my mouth to speak, then shut it. If I told someone else about the spirit, would he hurt me again? He was going to anyway for telling Jou-kun, so, if I upset him even more, even after all the backtalk, by doing this….. I winced at the thought, a tear slipping down my cheek.
….Would he fulfill his promise? The one he made in anger oh-so-long ago? The promise of something even worse than death?
Katsuya must have noticed my uneasiness, maybe even guessed exactly what I'd been thinking; a moment after the thought crossed my mind, he glared at Kaiba-kun and told him to drop it. The haunting gaze left me, an angry one replacing it as they turned to my only tomodachi.
"I have a right to know, don't you think, inu?! Oh, wait- you can't think, now can you?!" he spat, and that was the last straw for Katsuya.
A loud noise echoed through the classroom, filling the air with a thick tension. Rage-filled eyes locked with surprised blue ones, and Jou let his right hand rest on the door once more. It was then that my mind processed what had happened…
… He'd slapped him.
"Kiisama… bastard Did you ever think about how Yuugi feels? That he's too afraid of all this shit to even think about telling someone else? That if he does, he'll most likely be punished even more?!" his voice was low and cold as ice- this was a side of him I've never seen before.
"J- Jounochi…" Kaiba raised a hand to his reddened cheek, staring wide-eyed at the strange boy whom Katsuya had become.
I looked on, with much the same feeling as the upperclassman, but my vision blurred; my eyelids drooping slowly shut. All that running must have worn me out more than I'd thought… The world turns dark as I crumple to the linoleum floor, and the last thing I heard was Jou-kun's frantic voice as he rushed over, calling my name.
~*~
I shivered as I got up, scanning the shadows of my mind fearfully. He was here- I could sense it. Gathering what courage I had left, I called out into the darkness.
"Kimi wa doko dai yo?!" Where are you?
The cruel laughter I've grown so accustomed to sounded from somewhere behind me, and I whipped around, gasping as I came face to face with the object of my nightmares. He silenced me with a finger to my lips, and I drew back slightly- his hands were so cold!
Before I could try to run, he grabbed my forearms, pulling me to him again. His face grew stern, and I was certain he'd beat me within an inch of death. What he said next, however, caught me by surprise.
"You insult me, you disobey me, you try to get rid of me, and you even have the _nerve_ to talk back…" he spat, gripping my arms tighter with every penalty he ticked off the list.
His nails dug deep into my skin, piercing through and letting blood drip down into the shadows. My eyes watered at the pain, mixed with my own terrible fear, and I clenched them shut, turning my head away. His cold fingers brushed the tears that fell away a moment later, then firmly gripped my chin and moved me back in place.
"I should strike you down until you beg for death…"
My eyes snapped open, and I trembled in fear before him, breath coming in short gasps. "Shikashi…." however…
His right thumb ran across my lips, tainting them like potent venom marks a snake's prey. I shivered in his grasp, eyes closing a moment before I gazed at him with uncertainty. What did he mean? Why wasn't he going to punish me?
"You escaped the enemy with your life, sparing me the fate of an eternity within the puzzle, and for that, I will now spare you from the punishment I had planned. Be glad that you accomplished this, vessel, for if you had not, I would have treated you to what I'd warned you of before…."
He paused, trailing a finger down my cheek and neck; showing me exactly what he'd meant all along. I stood, frozen, thanking whatever supernatural entity had spared me from forcibly losing the last of my innocence. My mind, however, would be forever tainted with this discovery.
"Rest- you will need to if you hope to tell that bastard your story tomorrow…" he commanded, then disappeared into the shadows.
I stared at where he'd last been, blinking as a shining white light broke through the mist. I walked over, finding it came from a door, and peeked inside. There were silver walls and drapes everywhere I looked, and a large four-poster bed lie against the wall to the right. It too was covered with the grayish tinted fabric, fluffy pillows and comforter drawing one to sleep within.
Obeying the hypnotic call, I slipped inside, closing my eyes and snuggling into the warm blankets and drifting off. Right before sleep claimed me completely, I could've sworn a pair of soft lips brushed against my left cheek, but it surely must have been a dream…

K: *holds up finished homework* OWARI DA~!!! ^_______^ *blinks as she looks over her yami's shoulder at the screen, then frowns* Oya, oya- you wrote it without me!! *pouts*
Y: Aa~ you can write the next one, ne? ^-~
K: *thinks about it* Well…. ^____^ Okei! *runs off to put her homework away*
Y: T-;; That was easy…. *inspects her aibou's workspace*
*There are several bowls of green tea icecream, an empty can of soda, and a plate of sliced onions that were obviously picked off a slice or 2 of pizza*
Y: --;; Figures…. *turns to readers* There seems to be a lot of cussing in this story, ne? We were wondering if you think we should up the rating… We'll never write a lemon, for sure, so if it were rated higher, it'd be for violence, profanity, and suggestive content (hinting at near-rape/past rape/ect.) due to the yamis….
*shrugs* Either way, it's your guys' choice… Even if you wouldn't be able to read R-rated fics, you could probably still read this one…. It's not that bad… Tell us what you think, k? Ja!
