" Dat's not funny Kaiba!! I'll get ya for dat!!"

" I'm shakin' in my scales over here."

" Dat's it!!"

Yami stepped between the tiny dragon and the blackened Jou and scooped Kaiba up in his arms. He needed to keep him away from Jou less he risk going from extra crispy to Cajun style. Besides, he couldn't let him get stepped on, not when he was so close to finding out what he needed to know.

" Back off Jounouchi, leave him alone. He's had enough trouble with being so small and defenseless."

Seto bristled in Yami's arms.  He puffed up like a little bird. Well, if he had feathers he would have." Who's defenseless?!"

" Defenseless?!! If dat's defenseless, I'm the Queen on England!"

Yami covered the tiny dragon's mouth before he could insult Jou on his previous statement. " Behave Seto. Now Jou, you did threaten him so you can't get mad because you'd do the same thing."

Jou rubbed the back of his head in thought. Then he pointed to the miniature CEO in Yami's hands." I guess so. But don't let it happen again, dragon!"

Seto glared up at Jou's accusing finger and snapped onto it.

" Dah!!"

He tried to wave the tiny Blue Eyes off, but Seto hung on by his teeth.  Yami finally pried him off with a promise that Jou wouldn't bother him anymore and he let go. Jou suckled on his red finger and glared at Kaiba." Stupid dragon! I oughtta turn ya inta a belt!!"

" Hmp. I dare you." Seto smirked and crossed his little arms.

" You-"

" Isn't it time for you to go Jou?" Yami cut in.

Yugi finally stopped laughing and looked up as if he remembered something important." Oh yea. We just came over to get my sleeping bag. We're going camping today. Are you ready?"

Yami smacked his head with his free hand. He completely forgot. He was supposed to go camping wasn't he? Casting a glance to the curious Blue-Eyes in his other hand, he realized he couldn't possible take Seto with him. He might get lost or eaten, well, maybe not eaten, but he might not find his way around being so small. And he couldn't fight every predator forever, so he could actually be eaten!

" I'm sorry Yugi. I completely forgot. I can't go. I have to take care of Seto." Yami didn't even realize he called Kaiba by his first name.

" I'm sure he can take care of himself. He'll just BITE whoever gets in his way." Jou looked down at the smaller dragon.

Seto opened his mouth to bite him again. Jou screamed like a little girl and hid behind Honda. Yami wrestled a muzzle* onto the mini CEO; cursing as he was a victim of the sharp teeth a second time that day. But he finally did it. Seto was fully muzzled. He sat in Yami's lap with his arms crossed and pouting. Well, as much as a dragon can pout anyway…

" It's alright Yami. You can take care of Kaiba-kun. He needs you more than we do." Yugi laughed a little as Seto glared at him around his muzzle," Do you mind if we take Mokuba, Kaiba-kun?"

" Mind? Mmy fuud I mind?! I in ma miffin' muzzmel!!"

This only added to his amusement of the situation. No one saw the look of murder in someone's eyes…

Speak for yourself Yugi; I need Yami more than that brat does!! Three guesses who thought this and the first two don't count. " Yeah Yami, go ahead. Friendship is more important-"

" Would ya look at the time?! We gotta go! C'mon Honda!!!" Jou grabbed Honda by the wrist and scrammed from the store. Anzu followed after yelling at them. And Yugi brought up the rear; shaking his head sadly.

********************

After everyone left, Yami removed Seto's muzzle, being careful to avoid his sharp teeth, and took him up to his and Yugi's room. He kinda liked carrying him around in his arms. It was just like he used to do with his High Priest, Sephiroth. He'd protest and tell him to put him down. But Yami just kissed him and threw him over his shoulder so they could go play in his bedchambers.   

He smiled at the fond memory as he continued to carry Seto up the stairs.

(Flashback)

Yagami and Sephiroth had just come from a meeting with the council. They had tried to convince Yagami that Sephiroth wasn't his best choice as his High Priest. Yagami listened to what they had to say, then rudely refused to remove Sephiroth. He explained that he was a great priest no matter what they thought and he was staying so they should just get used to him.

" You did not have to say that Yagami. I don't mind not being your High Priest."

" Nonsense. I would make you Pharaoh if it didn't put me out of the castle. I'm already your slave. Anything you ask of me, you shall be given a hundred times."

" Baka Pharaoh. You're going to spoil me rotten."

Yagami grinned and wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him closer. Only to shove him into the wall and claim his mouth.  Sephiroth wouldn't open his mouth for him and keep twisting in his hold.

But Yagami wasn't having it. He would not be denied what he had claimed as his. One of his hands disappeared under the silk blue robes.

" OI!!!"

That was all Yagami needed. He didn't give Sephiroth a chance to say anything else, for his mouth was busy submitting to the Pharaoh's hungry kiss. Yagami smirked in his mind when he heard his koi moan. He always got what he wanted, it was a talent he had.

But they could not continue in the hallway. Someone might come walking by. Ra forbid the council find another reason to try and throw Sephiroth out. Yagami gently broke away; tracing his koi's lips with his tongue as he withdrew.

" Let's go." He breathed.

Sephiroth nodded. But as he was getting off the wall to go to the Pharaoh's chambers, he was swiped off his feet and in the arms of the smirking, red-eyed Kaiser.

" Yagami, put me down. I can walk on my own."

" Oh shush! You need your strength for what's to come."

" What's to come? OI!!!" Sephiroth yelped as he was repositioned over Yagami's shoulder and crudely carried off to the bedchambers. He sighed and rested his face on his hand; resting his elbow on Yagami's back.

" Why me?"

(Flashforward)

" Why me?" Seto yawned and rubbed his blue, blue eyes in a childish manner. He was surprised at how sleepy he was at just 6:00.  Well, he usually had work to keep him busy. That and Mokuba. But with both of them gone, he had no reason to stay awake. And maybe this would all be a dream when he woke up. He really hoped so.

Yami smiled as he watched him yawn and rub his eyes. It was so cute. Just like his mage had done millennias ago. Still had that child-like yawn. Yami repositioned his hands so he was cradling the tiny dragon. Seto was asleep by the time they made it into Yugi's room.

The Pharaoh was having a kawaii attack. Seto looked adorable like that. You'd never guess he was THE Seto Kaiba you saw in the news and in business meetings. He looked so peaceful and at ease.

Yami put him a doll size BEWD sleeping shirt and little kawaii slippers. He then put him in a BEWD sleeping bag* Seto stirred a little and was half-awake for a moment. " Yaga…mi?"

" Hush Sephiroth, you're safe. You're with me. I'm right here. I'll always be right here." Yami said this without thinking and handed him a BEWD flashlight. He remembered his thing about being in the dark and being so little.

" 'Kay…"

He closed his blue eyes again and fell asleep soundly. Yami smiled and watched him sleep.  And he stayed there.
