*Seto's POV*



I slumped down on the couch when we got home, sighing. I used to feel like I knew Jounouchi well, but thing seemed different lately. We never talked anymore, and all we did was watch that damn television…

I looked up at Ryou, who was standing there rather awkwardly, looking towards the ground. Before I could ask if he was alright, his quiet voice spoke up.

"A-anou…Kaiba…I was wondering…" I nodded, encouraging him to continue, my arms over the back of the couch. "W-well…I've been in that bed for a while now, and…do you think I could possibly take a shower? If it isn't too much trouble?" I couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, Ryou. Demo, don't you think you need some clean clothes?" I watched him blush as I looked to his garments; I hadn't meant to embarrass him…

"H-hai, but they're all back at…at my house…" He looked unmistakably sorrowful at the thought of this. Indeed at the mention of those words, I felt my insides give a little quirk. He was already feeling better…? I had somehow enjoyed his company…

"A-ah…we can stop by there and get some; it's not a problem. Unless…unless you'd rather go home, if you're feeling up to it." Ryou's face lit up a little.

"Oh, no, I…" He stopped and looked worried. "I'd hate to be manipulating you like this…but I really would love to stay."

I grinned again, feeling…well, content inside.

"Alright then, come on." I motioned for him, heading towards the door.

*Ryou's POV*

-A bit later

I stepped out of the bathroom, rubbing my wet hair with the towel as it frizzed out around me. My hair had always been uncooperative…

I was relieved to be clean again. Peeking around the corner, I saw Kaiba at his desk once again, working as usual. Deciding not to disturb him just yet, I found some clean sheets and headed for his room. I already knew where everything was, and I had only been here a week or so…

I proceeded to change his sheets, quickly disposing the ones I had been using to be cleaned. I certainly didn't want Kaiba getting sick the next time he slept in his bed…

I smiled as I crept out of the room, avoiding being noticed. Perhaps I would watch Mokuba-kun play video games, or find some other way to entertain myself so that I wouldn't distract Kaiba.

*Seto's POV*

I stood up from my desk, sighing and shutting off the machine. Usually I would work late into the night, to get a head start on the next day, but something made me edgy tonight. I just…didn't want to work. Normally, before, that wouldn't have stopped me. But I felt drawn to something else…

I walked out of my office, turning off the light and shutting the door. I glanced around the hallway, the noticed noise coming from Mokuba…looking in without being seen, I saw Ryou and Mokuba sitting in front of the television, playing his video games…

"No no, do it like this, Ryou! Make him slash his sword like this!" Mokuba was carefully instructing a slightly-confused Ryou on the game…

"Oh…arigatou, Mokuba-kun!" Ryou nodded and attempted the maneuver Mokuba had showed him.

I smiled, watching the two. Mokuba had never approved of Jounouchi but he treated Ryou like a brother. You would expect me to be jealous, but I wasn't really…

Suddenly Ryou looked up, saw me, and turned red. "Gomen, Kaiba-sama, I didn't see you standing there!" I nodded, the smile still on my face.

"It's alright…and please, call me by my first name, as you told me to."

He looked a bit surprised, probably because Mokuba was the only one anyone had heard call me "Seto."

"I was just going to go to sleep now…" I headed towards the couch, realizing Ryou was following me.

"Ka-Seto-sama…" I felt him tug gently at the sleeve of my coat. "Now that…now that I'm better…well, I think you should sleep in your own bed."

I blinked, looking down at his pleading brown eyes. How can you say no to those eyes? "Oh Ryou, you're the guest here…I don't mind the couch…"

I noticed his brow furrow. "I thought you said there was a guest room…"

For once I was at loss at what to say. "Er…"

He sighed, looking towards the couch, where I had left the blanket and pillow. "Please?" Slowly, I nodded, not wanting to see that look on his face anymore.

After our good nights, I was in my room, slipping into bed. I put my arms behind my head on the pillow, staring through my window up at the moon.

Fifteen minutes passed. I didn't really feel tired. Turning on my side, I sighed into the pillow in an irritated manner. Inhaling, I smelled the sweet scent of Ryou…

I heard the door creak open. I blinked, turning to see who it was. Perhaps Mokuba had had another bad dream?

I saw the figure step into the moonlight. Blinking, I squinted, although I could see him perfectly well.

"R-ryou?" I set up, ignoring the blanket as it slid off of me revealing my bare chest. I heard an evil laughter echoing through the room, the same laugh I had heard when I made soup for Ryou…

Those features looked like they had then: narrowed hues which seemed to mock me, accompanied with a smile that gave everything away. This could not be Ryou.

"Seto…I've been waiting much too long…" Heart thumping, I backed away as he stepped forward. That voice had a different ring to it, a voice of someone who knew what they wanted.

"What are you talking about?! Ryou?!" I refused to believe anything-he looked like Ryou, so he had to be Ryou. There was no such thing as an evil spirit…

"Hm, don't tell me you're that ignorant, Seto…" I watched him coming closer, frozen to my bed.

"What do you m-" I was cut off by a rather rough kiss to the lips, one that made my head spin. Forceful hands pushed me onto my bed, a body sliding on top of me. After a moment of paralysis, I began to struggle from under the body, but he was seated rather firmly on my waist.

Opening my eyes as our lips parted, I noticed him smirking at me.

"What are you doing?!" Having no idea what to think, I watched in horror as he unbuttoned the green shirt he wore…

"Mmm…" Apparently this was the only answer I would get. He leaned down, long locks falling around his face as he kissed along my neck, sucking on the skin.

This couldn't happen…what was going on here?! Grabbing his arms, I tried to push him off. He sat up, frowning at me.

"It's no use struggling…" I noticed that item that Ryou described as the Sennen Ring hanging at his chest…his voice was different from Ryou's, but they looked almost exactly alike….feeling thoroughly confused, I watched him hold the gold Item up. It began to glow as I again tried to get him off of me. This had to be some crazy dream…

He grinned, laughter filling my ears again as I felt my body grow numb. As he again pressed himself onto me, I realized that I couldn't move! My arms seemingly glued to my side, I stared at him with eyes wide. Screaming would be useless; Mokuba would be scarred for life if he saw this.

"What did you do…?" I managed to whisper, my practically heart beating out of my chest in near terror.

"Heh, it works much better on regular humans…" He smirked and nipped at my ear, trailing his tongue down my neck. What was he going to do to me?! I tried desperately to regain control of my body, but…God, what's wrong with me?!

All I could do was lay helplessly as his fingers worked to my boxers, pulling them off. I watched him remove the rest of his clothes, noticing the pale skin…was this what Ryou looked like naked?

I shook the thought from my head quickly, feeling my cheeks turn red. Why had I thought of that?!

He slid under the blanket with me, his skin feeling surprisingly smooth…the way he snickered into my ear set chills up my spine.

"Mmm…so helpless…" Somehow his words prepared me for what was coming…

I felt the fear rising as I wondered what would happen to me. I began to seriously doubt my sanity as different questions ran through my mind…Why was I being raped like this? By someone I didn't even know?! Someone who looked strangely like Ryou…

That Ring…was that what was keeping me here? I guess it's hard to believe in such things unless you experience them yourself…

I tried not to think of these things anymore, hoping to focus on a way to escape. Perhaps if I took the Item away from him…but I couldn't do that if I was helpless like this!

I closed my eyes in fear, gritting my teeth. I felt him moan and rub himself against me, giving me chills…

"I can see you like this…" I heard him snicker into my neck. Why was he being so…careful with me?

"I-iie…get off of me…" I managed to force the words out of my mouth in a whisper, trying my best to sound threatening, although I'm sure he could tell I was afraid.

"Hmm…no, I like it here."

Without warning I felt him thrusting against me, pressing a moan through my lips.

"Still want me to leave?" He was mocking me…

*Bakura's POV*

Apparently Seto still hasn't learned to believe in the power of Sennen Items…heh, does he really think I'm my hikari? Little Ryou would be afraid to come near Seto.

I'm sure Seto will learn a lot from this little experience.

I let our hips grind together, feeling the sweat between our two bodies. I opened my eyes, hearing his loud moans. Mmm…so delicious…there was nothing he could do…

I tried to give him the most pleasure I could, making sure not to hurt him. Let's see how this added up to his little Jou puppy, heh…

Leaning next to his ear, I moaned louder, calling out his name. This was exactly as I thought it would be, if not more…I heard his breathing getting heavier as I pushed harder…

I guess he didn't realize I had released him from the spell of the Sennen Ring…he was in complete control of his body, and he could get me off of him if he really wanted to. Heh heh heh…





*Seto's POV*

I felt myself clutching the pillow behind me, barely aware of my actions anymore. The moans burst from my throat willingly, seeing that I had lost all control to my body. I gasped at the pleasure rushing through my body, trying to keep from screaming, until at last I felt it complete possess me, all at once. I moaned loudly, arching my back…

After those final moments of bliss his body collapsed on top of mine. I sighed, relaxing and resting my head on the pillow. I heard him laughing quietly, and without thinking I raised a hand to stroke a lock of his hair. Wait…I can…move?!

"Nani?!" I jumped up, looking down at him strangely. What had gotten into me?

He looked up at me, a wide grin on his face, those narrowed eyes laughing.

"Did you enjoy that, Seto?" All I could do was stare at my hands as I moved them without effort. I thought…

"Heh, didn't really grasp the fact that I set you free, did you? Evidently you were having too much fun…" I could only glare at him, still shocked at what had happened.

"Who the hell are you?!" I growled, gritting my teeth. If I didn't figure this out I was sure to be driven crazy.

"I know you've figured it out...don't deny it Seto…my powers with the Sennen Ring…my similarity to Ryou…" I sat frozen as he moved closer, his hot breath on my face, "I'm the side of Ryou that you haven't met yet, his yami."

I tried to gather myself together not letting him see any signs of weakness or belief on my face. "Do you really expect me to believe that?"

Maybe I didn't fool him as much as I wanted to. He's smarter than I thought. "Heh, alright then, Seto…you can continue to think like that. But just remember you can't avoid the darkness for long…" I flinched only slightly as he nipped at my neck. He sat up, casually pulling on his clothes as I remained on the bed, unable to move, but not because of the Ring. Simply because I couldn't.

I watched him leave my room as I glanced down at my sheets…throwing on a robe I stumbled into the hallway, came back with fresh sheets, and collapsed on the bed after I changed them. How did he have the energy to just get up and walk away? I was exhausted…within minutes that my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

((Yes yes I know, FINALLY. It took me a little while to write this, but I've been so busy. Please don't give up, I'm trying to keep it going. And hey, Bakura finally got what he wanted, right? What will it take to convince Seto? And how will Ryou take it? Plus, what about Jounouchi-kun? xD Trust me, things are about to get complicated! Please review!))
