Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN YUGIOH! THERE I SAID IT, ARE YOU HAPPY?

Mid-S: Hey people! Peace out! ^__^ Well I did it. I wrote chapter 5! Go me! *does happy dance*

YMS: Riiiiiight.

Mid-S: Anywho, I decided that since I love all of you, I'm going to make another chapter!

Everyone: Yay. -_-

Mid-S: *sigh* Never any support for me from them. *points at the Yu-Gi-Oh! cast and her yami*

Everyone: HEY!

Mid-S: Well thankies to everyone who reviewed! Oh before I forget, yes the song that Jou sang is a real song and I didn't make it up (though I just love the lyrics! ^^). Its called 'A Thousand Years' and it's by Sting. (Doesn't that explain why I named this story that?) You know, I actually was inspired by that song to make this fic. It was going to be a one shot, but then I decided against it. More fun like this! ^__^

Bakura: Now on with the story!

Mid-S: HEY!

Okay it's morning and I still can't get over that song Jounouchi was singing! Why the hell do I care so much about that bumbling idiot?

...Wait a second, I don't care about him. I never said a word, you hear?

I had left my post at the door last night and when I came back (about an hour later), Jounouchi had left the room and was sleeping soundly in his own bedroom.

I don't think I had imagined him singing in my room.

I avoided looking at him at all this morning when I saw him coming up to me, asking what he should do while I'm gone. I told him to stay out of trouble and then left.

I wonder what he's doing now...

"Sephiroth, have you been listening to a word I've been saying?" a voice says, obviously annoyed. I look strait ahead of me and see Yami standing there, his arms crossed over his chest, frowning.

Oh, did I forget to mention I'm at a meeting with Yami, Mai and Bakura?

"Uh, of course Yami." I say, glaring at Bakura as he snickers at me. Mai rolls her eyes and turns back to the Pharaoh.

"Yami, I don't know why you bother to invite Sephiroth. He hasn't been the same ever since that blonde slave arrived. You think he has a thing for him or something..." Bakura says trailing off, smirking at me in a self satisfied way.

That does it. I grab my Millennium Rod from my belt and it, sensing my anger, turns into a knife. I point it at Bakura's throat.

"Care to repeat that?" I snarl. Mai gasps and puts her hand over her mouth, eyes wide in shock.

Hmph, women.

((Mid-S: Hey don't insult us! We're ten times better then you! *gets out her list of "Reasons Why Women Are Better Then Men"*

YMS: Hikari, please don't start now!

Mid-S: *yelling some stuff at the males* -SO GO TO HELL!

YMS: -_- ...I suddenly wish I stayed dead.))

Bakura looks at me, eyes in slits.

"You don't have the guts to use that." he says. I smirk.

"Try me."

"Stop this at once! Sephiroth what in HELL do you think you're doing?! Put that away NOW!" Yami yells. I don't move, pressing the edge of the knife harder against Bakura's neck.

"Sephiroth, I won't hesitate to send you to the Shadow Realm, I swear I won't. Now put that down." With an angry growl I take the Rod away from Bakura's neck. Damn bastard, he deserves to die.

I look at all three of them in turn and bow down to our Pharaoh.

"Yami, Mai, Bakura." I say and turn around, leaving the room and all of them, in shock.

****

How dare he! Damn Bakura, how dare he accuse me of liking Jounouchi! And I haven't been more distant! I've been the same as I always have...

Haven't I?

I shake my head. Of course I have. That idiot doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Seth, wait!" I turn around to see Mai coming up towards me. She looks much calmer then she had ten minutes ago.

"What is it woman, I don't have time for this." I say, crossing my arms.

"What the hell where you thinking in there?! You've never lost control like that to anyone, especially not Bakura. Why did it bother you so much when he said what he did?"

I don't know what to say to that. I'm not exactly sure myself. Something in me just snapped when he said that...

"I just don't want to hear that bastard talking about things he doesn't have any proof are true." I say calmly, shrugging. Then I turn away from her.

"I got things to do Tsuaki (1). Go away." I start to walk away.

"Seth stop this! Stop running away from how you feel about Jounouchi." She yells at me. I stop dead in my tracks.

"What are you talking about? What feelings?" I say, not turning around to face her.

"You have to care about him! I know you do. You haven't been like this to anyone except Mokuba -" She stops talking. I turn around, glaring at her.

"Don't talk to me about Mokuba. Don't you ever say his name again, do you understand me?" I hiss, feeling the tears welling up in my eyes. No, I can't cry, I mustn't. I have to be strong.

"I-I'm sorry. It wasn't meant to come out that way." She says, biting on her index finger. I glare at her and turn away, walking as fast as I can. I don't need to be reminded of my little brother, not now.

****

I've walked out to the huge palace gardens by now, just trying to forget. If only I could have done something, Mokuba might still be here...

"Get away from me!" Someone yells. I look around but see no one. "S-Stay back!" I listen more closely and follow the voice to the far end of the garden. I hide behind a rose bush and peer around it, only to see...Jounouchi! There's another man with him, and I recognize him. Bandit Keith, the thief and rapist of Egypt. Bastard, what the hell does he think he's doing?!

"Come on now beautiful, I won't hurt you...much." He laughs a cold laugh and goes closer to Jounouchi.

"Don't you dare touch me!" Katsuya says, backing away. He trips over a rock and falls down, hitting his head. He struggles to get into a sitting position, holding his head with one hand.

"Ah, you're a pretty thing. I'm going to enjoy making you scream." Keith says and goes to grab him.

I feel a strange anger in my stomach and I want to make Bandit Keith pay for even going *near* my Jounouchi.

...Wait, when did he become mine?

I look again and see that Keith is practically on top of the boy. Okay, save Jounouchi first, think later.

"Touch him again and you'll be in a world of pain." I say, getting out from behind the rose bush and pushing Keith away from Jounouchi. I grab my Rod from my belt. Again it turns into a knife. Man I love this thing!

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" He demands. Clearly this piece of crap doesn't know whom he's talking to.

"I am the High Priest Sephiroth and you are going to die." I say. Keith's eyes open wide and he takes a step back. Too late to run now Keith. I'm going to kill you for what you've done.

Pointing my Rod at him ((Mid-S: Don't get any wrong idea's people ^_~)) I mutter an incantation and a blue glow blasts from the end of it. Keith falls back onto the ground, blood around him. I said he was going to die.

I turn back to Jounouchi, who's still lying on the ground, looking up at me in shock and gratitude.

I pick him up and holding him in my arms, leave Keith on the palace garden floor. I'll tell Yami when I get back inside. But first I have to take care of Katsuya.

The said boy lays his hurt head on my chest and snuggles into me. I feel my cheeks grow hot and I wonder why I'm helping him in the first place. He is just a slave isn't he? No matter how attractive he may be...I blush even more at this thought.

"Thank you Seth..." I hear him whisper, before he relaxes completely and I know that he's asleep. I smile slightly.

"You're welcome Jou." I whisper into his ear. And I carry him back inside.
