Chapter 9: Darkness and light cry for the other
Yugi, Yami, Seto, and the Millenia, all staring at each other as if they all came from other planets. All of them knew that one of them had to break the silence, but they didn't want to be the ones who would. Arms still wrapped around the pharaoh's back, Yugi looked at his friends and the High Priest. Seto was shocked at the sight before him, but he knew he had to say something.
"Uh, my pharaoh, this group would like an audience with you." he announced, breaking the long silence. Yami started standing up, with Yugi standing up with him. Yami looked at the group, then looked at Yugi. "They want to speak with me. So it shall be done. Escort the group to the council room" he said. Seto nodded, then led the group out of the room to the designated place. After the door closed, Yami turned to Yugi.
Violet and crimson could only look at one another. One so happy that the other finally returned to him, he didn't know what to say. Yami reached his fingers around the Millenium puzzle, still staring at Yugi. Finally, Yami had some thing to say. "Why did you come back? After what I did while you were gone?" he asked, looking for a genuine answer, even thought he knew Yugi would give him one. Yugi sighed.
"Because, even though you took me and Jou away by force, took my innocence, kept me here against my will, then letting me go. After I left, you went right back to slaughtering your people, spilling blood on the sands Ra has blessed us with, placing fear instead of happiness in innocent hearts, I still managed to learn how to love you. I didn't realize it then, but I loved you the minute I knew who you were beneath the jewelry and crown."
"After all, I came back looking for the man who loved me, and I found him on the floor in his sorrow, all because I left him when I should've stayed with him. Because I denied what Ra what wanted me to be. you're one and only lover. So I'm sorry I left you, Yami. If you want me to condemn myself into Ra's hellhole, then place it upon me."
Yami looked at Yugi for a long time. After what seemed like eternity, Yami shook his head. "To send away an angel blessed by the gods would condemn both of us. I'm happy you are back, love." he whispered. Yami walked over and gathered Yugi into his arms. Yugi hugged the pharaoh with slight tears coming down his perfect face. "Yami, I'm so sorry I left you." he whispered. Yami shook his head while stroking Yugi's hair. "It's all right. I know why you did. Please don't leave me again." he said. Yugi and Yami's embrace was soft, sweet, and sealing their undying love.
Yami and Yugi walked inside the council room, where Seto and the rest of the Millenia were waiting for them. Yami sat in his usual chair, and Yugi sat on his right hand. Seto sat on Yami's left, and everyone sat in the remaining chairs. Yami immediately recognized some of the faces of Yugi's friends. "I remember you. You are the rest of the Millenia." he stated. Teana, Ryou, and Honda nodded. Yami then saw Shizuka, Malik, Marik, and Bakura.
"I don't know the rest of you." he said. Shizuka nodded her head in respect. "Um, we are the part of the Millenia that don't come with the group you see. But we still know how to fight and defend." she explained. Yami nodded, then smirked. "What is it you desire that cannot wait?" he asked.
"We want to be your bodyguards. Those guards you have defending you don't know how to fight their way out of an open sack." said Honda. "We also want to be your bodyguards so that we can stay close to Yugi and Jou." Teana added. Everyone looked at her. Teana just shrugged. Yami smirked.
"What makes you think all of you are worthy of being my bodyguards?" he asked. Bakura glared at him. "You've seen what we can do. What makes you doubt us, pharaoh?" he hissed. Yami glared at Bakura. "I have never seen you with these three before." he answered, pointing at Honda, Teana, and Ryou. "For all I know, you might only be able to just mildy bruise your opponent." Bakura smirked, then threw a throwing star.
The throwing star missed Yami's head by a mere inch before hitting the wall. Yami smirked. "Nice aim." he commented. Bakura sneered. Marik stepped up. "So are you going to let us be your bodyguards?" he asked impatiently. Yami sighed, then shook his head.
"No." he answered. Ryou stood up. "Why?" he asked. Yami looked at Ryou with annoyed eyes, while Bakura's eyes were darting back and forth between Ryou and the pharaoh with anger. Yami then softened his eyes to calm pools of crimson. "Don't be my bodyguards. Be Egypt's bodyguards. Some of the pain Egypt suffers is not because of me. There are thieves, insane souls, and such lurking on the quiet streets of the kingdom. Defend the victims of theft, rape, or anything like that. The guards still stay as guards." he announced.
At first, everyone was shocked at what the pharaoh was proposing, but if they were going to be bodyguards, why not Egypt itself? So Malik nodded. "We can do that." he said. Soon, everyone started standing up, but the pharaoh stopped them.
"Before you go, you must know what you can do and what you can't." Everyone sat back down to hear what Yami had to say. "First and foremost, I am sorry for whatever pain I've caused you when Yugi and Jou were here with me and Seto. We've both repented our mistakes. You are to live here in the palace in shared bedrooms, and your duties start at dawn to dusk. If you have no duties, you are welcome to see Yugi and Jou with your friends at anytime you wish. But you cannot disturb me or Seto unless it's important. Is that clear?" Everyone nodded. Yami dismissed them with a wave of a hand.
Everyone left the council room, while Jou followed Seto with the rest of the group to see what bedrooms they would get. Seto then turned around, making Jou bump into him. Seto shook his head and looked at the group.
"I'll be assigning you bedrooms and roommates. You two." he said, pointing to Ryou and Bakura. "You'll have the room at the end." Ryou and Bakura went inside their new room. "You two." he said, pointing at Malik and Marik. "Have the room across from them." Malik and Marik repeated the same actions as Ryou and Bakura.
"The three of you have the room next to the last group." Seto announced, pointing to the room on the left of Marik and Malik's room. Shizuka, Teana, and Honda went into their room silently. Jou was the only one left standing.
Seto looked at Jou with emotionless eyes. "Follow me." he ordered. Jou complied and silently followed the man haunting his dreams to his bedroom. Seto closed the door, silence still echoing the chamber that he and Jou occupied. Cerulean met flaxen honey for what seemed like eternity. They both knew that one of them had to break the vast and ample silence. But neither had nothing to say, except the one question the cold-eyed man had to ask.
"Why did you come back? You hate me so much, anyone carrying your hate stays as far away from their target, plotting or dreaming of their death." he asked, looking coldly at the blond boy standing with his back facing him. Jou sighed.
"You're very poetic." he snorted, smirking but not facing the High Priest.
"Answer the question puppy." Seto commanded, demanding for a straight answer. Jou closed his eyes, then sighed again. "I won't lie to you. I never hated you. I greatly disliked you, but never hated you. But when you and the pharaoh took me and Yugi for your own pleasures, I thought you were going to be a heartless bastard like always. I was wrong, in your own way, you cared about me, even though you denied it both physically and mentally. And the fact that you have never said my name."
"But then you set me and Yugi go, and that's when I knew you really cared about me, even though it nearly broke that heart of yours to see me leave. You didn't come after us, you didn't send anyone after me, so I knew you wanted me to be happy. After I left, I had dreams about you. Dreams that made me want you more, need you more, and love you more. Ra was probably trying to tell me not to deny my hidden feelings for you."
"Then Yugi wanted to go back for similar reasons. At first, I didn't want to go back. My pride got in the way again. But the truth, I wanted to see you again. But I was afraid to. Because I thought you wouldn't accept me again. After leaving you like that, who wouldn't want to see me again? But I went back anyways, just to see your face again."
"But when we met again, you showed no emotion. You did what you always did. You humiliated me. Once more, you weren't happy to see me. I thought you didn't want me anymore, so I thought I wasted my time and energy to come here. But then you ask for me. I thought you wanted me back with you, and that's why I accepted your proposal. Now you ask me why I came back. I gave you my answer. Now give me yours. Do you love me?"
Seto looked at Jou with shocked eyes, unaware of all he felt for him. Now he really regretted his actions toward him. 'Oh man, he must really think that I don't love him anymore. I did so many things to him. I must show him how much I care for now, or he'll leave forever'
Seto walked over to Jou and hugged him. Jou was surprised by this innocent but meaningful gesture, but he was happy to be back in his master's arms. "Jou, I'm so sorry that I caused you pain. I love you, and I'll keep loving you even after Ra chains me to his hellhole." he whispered. Jou smiled, then turned around and kissed Seto passionately on the lips.
Seto melted in Jou's kiss, wrapping his arms securely around Jou's waist, pulling him closer. Jou moaned a little. Jou broke the kiss, and reached up to touch Seto's cheek. "I love you too, Seto." he whispered. Seto smiled, then kissed Jou on the lips, allowing him to finally have his dreams come true.
