Seto stirs in his sleep, waking himself up. Melodies of Life blares through the speakers, but above it, Seto is able to hear.. Soft snoring? The boy looks around, then beside him. Jonouchi lies there, still and serene. Seto smiles, gently pushing a bit of stray hair out of the sleeping boy's eyes.
*Get over him, we can't keep the little puppy.* Seto sighs, but doesn't allow that one comment to dispirit him. He leans down and whispers to Jonouchi "Come on, time to get up". Jonouchi turns over, muttering in his sleep. Seto, determined to get him up, brushes his hair from his ear and tries again. "Jonouchi, come on. Get up." He shakes him delicately, but firmly. Finally, Jonouchi wakes, blinking puzzledly for a moment, before looking up at Seto. "Ohayoo gozaimású." "Konban wa. Sleep good?" The blonde boy yawns, then quickly closes his mouth, staring at Seto momentarily. "Kaiba, daijoubu? You've been actin' strange t'day. Why-" Seto raises an eyebrow, "Want me to kick you out while taking back my clothes?" Jonouchi smiles at the brunette sweetly. "Forget it." Seto stands up, offering a hand to Jonouchi. 'Hmm.. Maybe he's right.' Seto doesn't move though. At least, not until Jonouchi takes his hand and is pulled up by him.
^We'll have to take him to the pound, ya know. Don't get too attached to him, or you won't be able to let go, and that only causes problems in the end. Put him out.^ Seto barely listens to the girls 'advice' as he and Jonouchi head toward his door. *Listen to Jing Li, Seto. We can't let him stay with us forever. He'll have to eventually find someone else. It'll be easier.* Seto frowns. -You act like you know everything. You don't. Stop lectruing and preaching to me. I can deal with this.- Seto pushes them out of his mind and puts up a barrier.
"Seto?" Jonouchi stands in the doorway, waiting for him.
^-^
Jing Li keeps trying to call out to Seto. "It's like he's got an answering machine in his head, that says nothing!!" Ambrose watches her as she paces. "Calm down, Jing Li. Give him time to think it through, and he'll figure it out on his own." Jing Li spins, croutching down to be face level with Ambrose. "But by then it's likely to be too late." the boy sighs. "He'll have to figure it out. We can't anymore. He'll have to learn." Jing Li nods. "Okay." She lets out a heavy sigh. "I just.. If he get's hurt at this age, he'll never forget about it, and it'll drive him insane." Ambrose lifts her face to his, staring intently in her eyes. "Don't worry." She nods.
^-^
Jonouchi rests his chin in his hand. He had warned Seto Kaiba numerous times now not to call his father, but the boy hadn't listen to him, and now sat beside him, holding the phone away from his ear. His father's voice rang through both's ears for a moment before Seto puts the reciever back down. Jonouchi turns his head to look at the wide eyed Seto. "See, I told you. He doesn't care. I'll be okay. Thanks though." Jonouchi reluctantly gets up.
His school uniform had been washed and dried, and he had just changed. And, as Seto had earlier predicted, it was snowing. Seto had tried to pursuade him to stay for a while, at least until it stopped snowing, but Jonouchi felt guilty already about what Seto had done for him. In reality, Jonouchi didn't want to leave. For the first time, he was actually invited into his crush's house, and probably the last. He wanted to enjoy it. But, his guilt won in the end.
Jonouchi, now at the door, turns back to admire the 'castle' once more before opening the door and leaving.
^-^
Seto sits there, staring at the now empty seat. 'Why didnt' I try to stop him? I just sat here, doing nothing about him leaving. And, it's snowing! He can't go out there!' Seto jumps up and runs after the blonde heir. "Jonouchi, wait!" He looks around, then spots Jonouchi at his gate, trying to get out. He speeds up and reaches Jonouchi just as the gates open. Jonouchi doesn't even look back, but sprints out into the street, and onto the sidwalk.
Keeping his head down, he walks off, Seto trying to follow him. Finally, there's an open spot in the traffic and Seto makes it across, grabbing Jonouchi's arm. "Wait. At least let me walk with you." Jonouchi nods, not looking up. Sighing, Seto settles for this. He relaxes, letting his hand drop from Jonouchi's arm to his hand. He wraps his fingers with the other boy's, matching his pace.
^-^
'What the fuck does that baka think he is doing? Jonouchi belongs to me! No one deservers him but me! I will have Katsuya Jonouchi by the end of the hour, I'll make sure of that.'
^-^
Jonouchi keeps his head down most of the way, not noticing that Seto was holding his hand. 'Why? Why is he acting like this? Is this diliberate, or does he actually feel something for me? Is he playing with me? And what was the deal with him licking the blood off of my cut? Has someone brainwashed him or something? Why can't I answer these questions myself?' Jonouchi sighs, then looks up. "Seto, why are we in the park?" Seto shrugs. "I just thought it'd be a good idea to stop here. It's so peaceful here. And there aren't many people here."
Jonouchi feels his arm go up slightly as Seto shrugs, and looks down at his hand. He raises his and Seto's hands in front of them, shocked speechlessly. Seto looks at Jonouchi, then takes his hand away. "Hmm. I didn't notice. Do I need to appologize?" Jonouchi cringes, cursing himself if he ruines whatever this is between him and Seto. Quickly, he takes Seto's hand in his again, watching Seto's face for an answer. Seto, sighing contentivly, smiles.
^Seto, you need to get over him! You'll only be hurt!^
:Shut up Jing Li.: Jonouchi tells the girl. Seto, Jing Li, and Ambrose gasp. :"What?":
^What the fuck?! You can hear and talk to us?^ :Yep. Have been for a while.: "And," Seto begins. "You never told me?" Jonouchi laughs. "Well, I just now figured out who it was. Before I just thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, but then I started noticing a bit of simualrities between you three, and figured out who it was." Seto 'humph"s and continues walking. Summoning his courage, Jonouchi stops, making Seto stop with him.
"Hm?" Seto steps in front of the blonde heir. "What?" Jonouchi pulls on Seto's arm, bringing him down to eye level. "Seto, are you angry? That I didn't say anything?" "No. I'm not." Seto squeezes the blondes hand. "But, tell me something. How much did you hear?" "Uh, the first thing I remember hearing is...." Jonouchi stops to think. "'We'll have to take him to the pound, ya know. Don't get too attached to him, or you won't be able to let go, and that only causes problems in the end. Put him out'. That was it. After that, I stopped listening as much." Seto nods, sitting down on the bench behind them. Jonouchi soon follows, cautiously resting his head on Seto's shoulder.
^-^
Jing Li and Ambose stand up against a wall, moonlight being the only sorce of light. They had both tried to warn Seto about keeping a puppy, and now, they had to take him away. Both knew that Seto wouldn't like it, but it had to be done. If not, the only thing keeping the vampires from getting him was himself and Seto. Not cause for great relief.
Ambrose scowls. "If they don't come soon, we'll go find them." Jing Li looks up from scuffing her boots. "The patient one is finally loosing it? Wow. We must have been here for a long time. Which has been?" Ambrose checks his watch. "Two hours and.. fourteen minutes." Jing Li sighs, letting her head fall. "Jonouchi, Seto, hurry it up!!" She yells, attracting curious looks from the people around them.
Ambrose pushes himself off of the wall, motioning for the girl to follow. "We'll go find them." Jing Li smiles saddly. "Do we have to do this? It'll seriously hurt Seto. In all of his life, he's never loved anyone, with the exception of Mokuba, and now, he's found someone, and they love him back. Why can't we just keep an eye on them both? We could call for backup, and protect them. Come on, Ambrose, we can't do this to Seto." Ambrose stops, his head down and a shadow covering his eyes. "No, we have to. We'd never be able to protect them. Not now."
^-^
"Seto?" Jonouchi looks up to the brunette. "What time is it?" Seto looks at the moon. "Roughly I'd say...2:30, 3:00. Why?" Jonouchi shrugs. "No reason." Seto leans his head down to rest on Jonouchi's. They had been here for about four hours, and Seto was determined to keep him here till the sun began to rise. That was all he needed, a few more hours, and then they'd never be seperated. No one, not even the elders could stop them.
"Seto! This is where you have been?! Why didn't you take Jonouchi home?! Do you have any idea how long me and Ambrose waited for your ass? Do you?" Jing Li punches Seto, enough to hurt, but not leave a mark. "Two hours and thirty minuets!" Jing Li grabs Jonouchi's hand and pulls him up.
"What do you think you are doing?" Yami steps out of the shadows, eyes narrowed at Jing Li. Jonouchi's mouth drops open. "Where are you taking Jonouchi?" Jing Li looks him over, not answering. Yami, being impatient, walks up to the girl and jerks Jonouchi from her hands and behind him. "Girl, I asked you a question! Answer me!"
"I don't have to anwer to a short mortal like you, now get out of my way." Jing Li pushes him back, reaching for the trembling Jonouchi again. Jonouchi takes a step back, bumping into a hard chest. Frightened, he looks up. "Seto!" He says, obviously relieved. Seto smiles down at Jonouchi before locking his gaze back on Jing Li. "Leave him alone. He's mine." Yami, watcing this with great amusement now speaks up. "Yours? Since when was he yours? He's mine, and I dare you to challange that." Yami crosses his arms across his chest, looking over arrogant about his chances.
"Let's let Jonouchi choose." Jonouchi looks behind him and Seto. An elderly man, white hair and kind looking eyes stands, smiling almost. The white robe that he has on has been torn, almost like in a battle. Various cuts and gashes were still bleeding, and he seemed to be shaking. "Elder!" Jing Li rushes to the man, putting her arm across his shoulder. "What happened? Why are you hurt? Who done this?" "Never mind that, Jing Li. What matters now is what Jonouchi will decide to do." The Elder shifts his gaze between Seto, Jonouchi and Yami.
"First thing first though." Jonuchi says. "Would you explain to me why Yami is here, why Jing Li and Ambrose want to seperate me and Seto, and who you are?" The Elder chuckles and nods.
"Yes, you might need this information right? Yami is the leader of the Amaranthine Line, and soon, his reign will be over. He needs to find the heir to his Line. If he can't, then everyone, minus the heir, will die. The last few weeks has been the final home streach of his reign." Jonouchi looks over to Yami. "Did you find them?" Yami laughs. "You still don't get it, do you Jonouchi?" The Elder clears his throat. "Katsuya Jonouchi, you are the heir to the Amaranthine Line. You were the one Yami was looking for. But, Jing Li, Ambrose and Seto found you first. They are here to protect you, or keep you out of the enemy's hands." Jonouchi raises up his hands. "Hold up. When you say 'Line', what do you mean?" "He's a vampire." "Eii.. Right.. So.. That would make me a .. Vampire?" "No," Jing Li looks up, he eyes narrowed. "You have vampire blood in you, but you are not a full vampire yet. That was Yami's intentions. Once he turned you, you'd have to take up the responsibility of the Line." Jonouchi nods, and the Elder continues. "Jing Li, Ambrose, and Seto have been watching you all day. They are here to be something of Guardian Angels." Jonouchi clicks his tounge. "Uh, one more question." "Yes?" "If Yami has been after me, how come he isn't attacking you to get to me yet?" He points back at the vampire, who is now leaning against the tree. "If he were to attack any of us, the others would kill him automatically." Jonouchi nods. "So.. Did he attack you?" The Elder smiles. "Quick thinker. Yes, he did, Jonouchi. If he kills me, then these three have no orders to follow."
"Elder," Ambrose finally steps up from behind Seto and Jonouchi. "What happened to the others? There are five Elders, correct?" The Elder looks at him. "No. The are gone now. Now, on with Jonouchi's information. Guardian Angels. Yes, that would be the best way to discribe them. But, one just so happened to have, what you mortals call a 'crush', on you. When he shared your blood, it tied you to each other, less someone else takes your blood. And, then another problem came up. Our enemy just so happened to have a 'crush' on you too." Jonouchi whips around to look at the blushing Yami. "You mean... Yami? Wow.. " The Elder laughs. "Yes, it came as somewhat of a shock. But, that's about it. Now, you have to decide. Who do you want to be with? Your Line? Or your love?"
Jonouchi looks between Seto and Yami. It seemed to be such an obvious answer, but Jonouchi felt that there was something missing. Something wasn't right. The Elder wasn't telling him something. "Before I answer, what else is there. You're not telling me something. I can tell." Yami and the Elder laugh. "Hmm.. So, you're smarter then we thought. Well, then, since you know there's is something else, then I guess I have to tell you. Either way, you'll end up dying, Jonouchi. If you choose Yami, then Jing Li and Ambrose are ready to kill you. If you choose Seto, Yami will kill you. You have no choice really." Jonouchi nods, about to go ahead and say "Well then kill me." when he thought of something. Not sure where it came from, but Jonouchi had no other sencible choice. "Well, at least let me and Seto stay together until sunrise. Please, then I'll let you finish what you were going to start." The Elder looks at Yami, who shrugs. "Fine. You'll have three hours. How's that?" Jonouchi nods. "Arigatoo."
~*-*~
With an hour left, Jonouchi stands from Seto's hold. He smiles at the brunette before leaning down and whispering he'd be back. He looks around, searching for a certain vampire. "There!" He whipsers, spotting him on the swings. He rushes over to him, not bothering to ask anyone if he could. (A/N: Why should he? He's gonna die anyway. :'( Poor Jonouchi!! ).
"What do you want, Jonouchi?" Yami doesn't even look up, he continues to shuffle the dirt with his shoes. Jonouchi sits down in the swing beside him. "Supposidly, if you bite me, then I'm a vampire, right?" Yami nods. "Why? Want me to bite you or something?" The blonde vampire laughs. "That'd be like suicide." Jonouchi glances around. "Well, actually, that was exactly what I was thinking." Yami looks at the boy disbelievingly. "Well, you see," "You have a plan?" Jonouchi smiles and nods. "Yep! The way I have it thought out, you'll get your heir to the Amar- Whatever! Line, the Elder, Jing Li, and Ambrose will be dead, and you and Seto can keep each other company. Sound good?" Yami straightens up. "But what will happen to me and you?" "I'll die, just like I'm supposed to, and you'll be fine." "What did you have in mind, Jonouchi?" Jonouchi grins, and looks around at the others. "Well, you bite me, turn me, I'll help you kill Jing Li, Ambrose and the Elder, and then I'll have Seto drink a bit of my blood again. With that, he'll have some of the Amaririthn-" "Amaranthine" "Right, Line in him, and you'll be able to have company. Hell, you may learn to like him." Yami laughs. "Why the sudden want of helping me?" "From what I understand, if I don't take up your job, your 'family' will die. Seto will be alone, and I don't want that." Yami thinks about it for a moment, comtemplating what he had said.
"Fine. Let's do it." Jonouchi smiles, chuckling. "But where?" Yami's question had caught Jonouchi off guard, and he abrutly stops smiling. "Uh.. Hmm. Well.." He looks around. No woods, no big bunches of trees, but there was that one giant tree.. "There. We can go behind it." Jonouchi points it out. It was out of the way, and everyone was waiting for the sun to come up. "Good." Yami gets up and walks to the tree, Jonouchi behind him.
Yami, as soon as they were both out of sight, roughly pushes Jonouchi back against he tree, a smirk in play. "You know this is going to hurt." Jonouchi nods, watching the vamire as he closes the space between them. Yami almost giggle as he brushes his lips against Jonouchi's, bringing a sharp gasp. Yami's hands roamed over Jonouchi's body; over his chest, his shoulders, down to his stomach and thighs, and all the while, he drew small noises from him as he licked his neck. Jonouchi's breathing then becomes ragged, waiting for Yami to bite down. Reluctantly, he manages to whisper "if you're- ah, going to bite me.... you had better do it noaah." Yami bites down, leaving Jonouchi limp in his arms as he licks the blood flowing from the two pricks.
After a bit, he begins to hit Jonouchi gently. "Jonouchi, wake up." The blonde stirs, opening his eyes. Yami offers Jonouchi his wrist, which had had earlier bit into to bring the blood to Jonouchi's lips. "To seal it, you have to." He tells him, seeing the discusted look on his face. Jonouchi gulps and covers the punctures with his mouth. As soon as the blood hits his tounge, Jonouchi grabs Yami's wrist, holding on tightly. "Jonouchi, let go." Yami begins to pull. "I said let go!" Finally, Jonouchi does let go, blood falling to his chin. He laughs. "I should go get Seto." Jonouchi grins a he gets up. Yami goes ahead, but doesn't get far.
Jonouchi grabs his wrist, pulling him into his embrace, and covering Yami's lips with his own. Yami gasps, Jonouchi's tounge pushing it's way into Yami's mouth. Just when Yami was about to respond, Jonouchi pulls away. Jonouchi's arms snake around Yami's waist, pulling him closer. He bends down and whispers : "Why don't we forget the original plan? Let's kill the Elder, Jing Li, and Ambrose... Hmm?" Yami grins as he nods.
Together, they walk out from behind the tree, death ringing through thier viens.
~Owari~
Fushigi- Yes, I know, I know. A cliffhanger. But I love it! The first time I wrotet the ending, Jonouchi was killed by Jing Li and then Seto died the next morning in Jonuchi's arms. I just liked this one better. And it's a hell of a lot longer. I think this has... Something like.. 3500 words. The other had 2190 words. So, I added like 1400 words. Yay!!!!!! Please review!! Please!!!
Kid- Anyway, there's the disclamer, there's the name and summery, then the story. I don't think you'll need any directions.
Disclamer- Yugioh doesn't belong to me, but I do have Anzu in a torture chamber, and Jonouchi and Seto in my closet. ^__^

We could call for backup, and protect them. Come on, Ambrose, we can't do this to Seto." Ambrose stops, his head down and a shadow covering his eyes. "No, we have to. We'd never be able to protect them. Not now."
^-^
"Seto?" Jonouchi looks up to the brunette. "What time is it?" Seto looks at the moon. "Roughly I'd say...2:30, 3:00. Why?" Jonouchi shrugs. "No reason." Seto leans his head down to rest on Jonouchi's. They had been here for about four hours, and Seto was determined to keep him here till the sun began to rise. That was all he needed, a few more hours, and then they'd never be seperated. No one, not even the elders could stop them.
"Seto! This is where you have been?! Why didn't you take Jonouchi home?! Do you have any idea how long me and Ambrose waited for your ass? Do you?" Jing Li punches Seto, enough to hurt, but not leave a mark. "Two hours and thirty minuets!" Jing Li grabs Jonouchi's hand and pulls him up.
"What do you think you are doing?" Yami steps out of the shadows, eyes narrowed at Jing Li. Jonouchi's mouth drops open. "Where are you taking Jonouchi?" Jing Li looks him over, not answering. Yami, being impatient, walks up to the girl and jerks Jonouchi from her hands and behind him. "Girl, I asked you a question! Answer me!"
"I don't have to anwer to a short mortal like you, now get out of my way." Jing Li pushes him back, reaching for the trembling Jonouchi again. Jonouchi takes a step back, bumping into a hard chest. Frightened, he looks up. "Seto!" He says, obviously relieved. Seto smiles down at Jonouchi before locking his gaze back on Jing Li. "Leave him alone. He's mine." Yami, watcing this with great amusement now speaks up. "Yours? Since when was he yours? He's mine, and I dare you to challange that." Yami crosses his arms across his chest, looking over arrogant about his chances.
"Let's let Jonouchi choose." Jonouchi looks behind him and Seto. An elderly man, white hair and kind looking eyes stands, smiling almost. The white robe that he has on has been torn, almost like in a battle. Various cuts and gashes were still bleeding, and he seemed to be shaking. "Elder!" Jing Li rushes to the man, putting her arm across his shoulder. "What happened? Why are you hurt? Who done this?" "Never mind that, Jing Li. What matters now is what Jonouchi will decide to do." The Elder shifts his gaze between Seto, Jonouchi and Yami.
"First thing first though." Jonuchi says. "Would you explain to me why Yami is here, why Jing Li and Ambrose want to seperate me and Seto, and who you are?" The Elder chuckles and nods.
"Yes, you might need this information right? Yami is the leader of the Amaranthine Line, and soon, his reign will be over. He needs to find the heir to his Line. If he can't, then everyone, minus the heir, will die. The last few weeks has been the final home streach of his reign." Jonouchi looks over to Yami. "Did you find them?" Yami laughs. "You still don't get it, do you Jonouchi?" The Elder clears his throat. "Katsuya Jonouchi, you are the heir to the Amaranthine Line. You were the one Yami was looking for. But, Jing Li, Ambrose and Seto found you first. They are here to protect you, or keep you out of the enemy's hands." Jonouchi raises up his hands. "Hold up. When you say 'Line', what do you mean?" "He's a vampire." "Eii.. Right.. So.. That would make me a .. Vampire?" "No," Jing Li looks up, he eyes narrowed. "You have vampire blood in you, but you are not a full vampire yet. That was Yami's intentions. Once he turned you, you'd have to take up the responsibility of the Line." Jonouchi nods, and the Elder continues. "Jing Li, Ambrose, and Seto have been watching you all day. They are here to be something of Guardian Angels." Jonouchi clicks his tounge. "Uh, one more question." "Yes?" "If Yami has been after me, how come he isn't attacking you to get to me yet?" He points back at the vampire, who is now leaning against the tree. "If he were to attack any of us, the others would kill him automatically." Jonouchi nods. "So.. Did he attack you?" The Elder smiles. "Quick thinker. Yes, he did, Jonouchi. If he kills me, then these three have no orders to follow."
"Elder," Ambrose finally steps up from behind Seto and Jonouchi. "What happened to the others? There are five Elders, correct?" The Elder looks at him. "No. The are gone now. Now, on with Jonouchi's information. Guardian Angels. Yes, that would be the best way to discribe them. But, one just so happened to have, what you mortals call a 'crush', on you. When he shared your blood, it tied you to each other, less someone else takes your blood. And, then another problem came up. Our enemy just so happened to have a 'crush' on you too." Jonouchi whips around to look at the blushing Yami. "You mean... Yami? Wow.. " The Elder laughs. "Yes, it came as somewhat of a shock. But, that's about it. Now, you have to decide. Who do you want to be with? Your Line? Or your love?"
Jonouchi looks between Seto and Yami. It seemed to be such an obvious answer, but Jonouchi felt that there was something missing. Something wasn't right. The Elder wasn't telling him something. "Before I answer, what else is there. You're not telling me something. I can tell." Yami and the Elder laugh. "Hmm.. So, you're smarter then we thought. Well, then, since you know there's is something else, then I guess I have to tell you. Either way, you'll end up dying, Jonouchi. If you choose Yami, then Jing Li and Ambrose are ready to kill you. If you choose Seto, Yami will kill you. You have no choice really." Jonouchi nods, about to go ahead and say "Well then kill me." when he thought of something. Not sure where it came from, but Jonouchi had no other sencible choice. "Well, at least let me and Seto stay together until sunrise. Please, then I'll let you finish what you were going to start." The Elder looks at Yami, who shrugs. "Fine. You'll have three hours. How's that?" Jonouchi nods. "Arigatoo."
~*-*~
With an hour left, Jonouchi stands from Seto's hold. He smiles at the brunette before leaning down and whispering he'd be back. He looks around, searching for a certain vampire. "There!" He whipsers, spotting him on the swings. He rushes over to him, not bothering to ask anyone if he could. (A/N: Why should he? He's gonna die anyway. :'( Poor Jonouchi!! ).
"What do you want, Jonouchi?" Yami doesn't even look up, he continues to shuffle the dirt with his shoes. Jonouchi sits down in the swing beside him. "Supposidly, if you bite me, then I'm a vampire, right?" Yami nods. "Why? Want me to bite you or something?" The blonde vampire laughs. "That'd be like suicide." Jonouchi glances around. "Well, actually, that was exactly what I was thinking." Yami looks at the boy disbelievingly. "Well, you see," "You have a plan?" Jonouchi smiles and nods. "Yep! The way I have it thought out, you'll get your heir to the Amar- Whatever! Line, the Elder, Jing Li, and Ambrose will be dead, and you and Seto can keep each other company. Sound good?" Yami straightens up. "But what will happen to me and you?" "I'll die, just like I'm supposed to, and you'll be fine." "What did you have in mind, Jonouchi?" Jonouchi grins, and looks around at the others. "Well, you bite me, turn me, I'll help you kill Jing Li, Ambrose and the Elder, and then I'll have Seto drink a bit of my blood again. With that, he'll have some of the Amaririthn-" "Amaranthine" "Right, Line in him, and you'll be able to have company. Hell, you may learn to like him." Yami laughs. "Why the sudden want of helping me?" "From what I understand, if I don't take up your job, your 'family' will die. Seto will be alone, and I don't want that." Yami thinks about it for a moment, comtemplating what he had said.
"Fine. Let's do it." Jonouchi smiles, chuckling. "But where?" Yami's question had caught Jonouchi off guard, and he abrutly stops smiling. "Uh.. Hmm. Well.." He looks around. No woods, no big bunches of trees, but there was that one giant tree.. "There. We can go behind it." Jonouchi points it out. It was out of the way, and everyone was waiting for the sun to come up. "Good." Yami gets up and walks to the tree, Jonouchi behind him.
Yami, as soon as they were both out of sight, roughly pushes Jonouchi back against he tree, a smirk in play. "You know this is going to hurt." Jonouchi nods, watching the vamire as he closes the space between them. Yami almost giggle as he brushes his lips against Jonouchi's, bringing a sharp gasp. Yami's hands roamed over Jonouchi's body; over his chest, his shoulders, down to his stomach and thighs, and all the while, he drew small noises from him as he licked his neck. Jonouchi's breathing then becomes ragged, waiting for Yami to bite down. Reluctantly, he manages to whisper "if you're- ah, going to bite me.... you had better do it noaah." Yami bites down, leaving Jonouchi limp in his arms as he licks the blood flowing from the two pricks.
After a bit, he begins to hit Jonouchi gently. "Jonouchi, wake up." The blonde stirs, opening his eyes. Yami offers Jonouchi his wrist, which had had earlier bit into to bring the blood to Jonouchi's lips. "To seal it, you have to." He tells him, seeing the discusted look on his face. Jonouchi gulps and covers the punctures with his mouth. As soon as the blood hits his tounge, Jonouchi grabs Yami's wrist, holding on tightly. "Jonouchi, let go." Yami begins to pull. "I said let go!" Finally, Jonouchi does let go, blood falling to his chin. He laughs. "I should go get Seto." Jonouchi grins a he gets up. Yami goes ahead, but doesn't get far.
Jonouchi grabs his wrist, pulling him into his embrace, and covering Yami's lips with his own. Yami gasps, Jonouchi's tounge pushing it's way into Yami's mouth. Just when Yami was about to respond, Jonouchi pulls away. Jonouchi's arms snake around Yami's waist, pulling him closer. He bends down and whispers : "Why don't we forget the original plan? Let's kill the Elder, Jing Li, and Ambrose... Hmm?" Yami grins as he nods.
Together, they walk out from behind the tree, death ringing through thier viens.

Fushigi- Yes, I know, I know. A cliffhanger. But I love it! The first time I wrotet the ending, Jonouchi was killed by Jing Li and then Seto died the next morning in Jonuchi's arms. I just liked this one better. And it's a hell of a lot longer. I think this has... Something like.. 3500 words. The other had 2190 words. So, I added like 1400 words. Yay!!!!!! Please review!! Please!!!
