Chapter 2-
"Well Bakura? It's not that hard of a questions, for your brain anyways," Yami commented, trying to push and get his answer from Bakura, as he was getting impatient. "Fine, I'll be in your band, but let me ask you something," Bakura answered, looking at Yami.
"Go a head and ask away," Yami told him.
"Who is going to play bass, drums, keyboard, and who is going to be the singer?" he asked, closing his eyes as he waited to here where Yami would get these things.
Yami sighed and shifted his weight onto his left foot from his right foot, crossing his arms. "I plan on Malik or Seto playing the keyboard, I'll play the bass, and Marik is going—" and that's where Bakura cut in.
"Marik is in your band?!" Bakura shouted out, pushing his weight off the wall and looked at Yami, his eyes wide with shock.
"Eh, not yet, but seeing as he is the only person I know who can play the drums, I figured I'd ask him. Why do you care though? Don't you two get along?" he asked, actually seeming concerned.
"No, actually we don't, but have him on the band, I don't care," Bakura informed him, going back to being his stubborn, arrogant self.
"Okay, now to go and ask Marik is he wants ---" and once again Yami was cut off, but not by Bakura this time, but by Marik.
"I'll join your little band," he informed them, a slight smirk on his lips and his hands shoved into his pockets. Yami and Bakura looked over at where his voice came from, Marik still wasn't wearing a shirt, even though he had lived in Egypt, it was still to hot for him here.
"What? I can't finish saying anything now?" asked, a bit annoyed as no one was really paying attention to him now.
"Why are you agreeing to something Yami hasn't even talked to you about?" Bakura growled, sending his cold chocolate glare on Marik.
"Because, why ask questions about something when all you have to do is play the drums?" Marik asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Now, all we need is the keyboarders," Yami commented, trying to lighten up the mood seeing as there was so much tension between Marik and Bakura, mostly Bakura.
"You want me to ask Seto for you, Yami?" Yuugi asked, looking at his older look-a-like. Yami looked at the young boy and nodded. "Sure Yuugi, and I'll get Mai to ask Malik for me," Yami informed Yuugi. "Okay, and I'll bring Serenity with me, just in case," Yuugi finished and then ran across the street and down a house.
Yami sighed and walked out of Bakura's garage. "Now, to get Mai," he commented to himself.
"Say something bout me Yami?" came a woman's voice from behind him on the sidewalk.
He jumped, surprised, and then turned around to find a blonde woman standing there, holding a few bags in her hands, she had been shopping, there was no mistake.
"Yeah, hey Mai. I was just about to go to your house," Yami told her.
"Woulda been a waste of your time. So why were you going to talk me now?" she asked.
"To see if you could talk to Malik about something for me," he replied, rather bluntly.
"Oh, what about?"
"I wanted to see if you could talk him into playing the keyboard for my band."
"I'll try my best Yami, no saying for a fact that he'll join, but I'll try. And if I do get him to join, I call free entrance to all your guys' gigs," Mai smiled and winked, walking to her house. She dropped he things off in her room and walked out of her room, closing the door behind her. She walked down a few steps and then out her front door and across the street over to Malik's house.
She sighed and brought her knuckles to the door, knocking softly. She then crossed her arms loosely over her stomach area, tapping her foot softly on the ground. "Malik…" she huffed lightly.
She uncrossed her arms and was abut to knock again when the door opened. "What do you want Mai?" Malik asked harshly, frowning slightly. She blinked and then pushed Malik into the house far enough so she could walk in. "Nice greeting there, Malik," Mai informed him, seeming a bit annoyed.
"Like I care. Tell me why you're here," he told her, getting a bit pissed off.
"Yami wanted me to see—"
"No, I'm not being in his damn band and I already told him that!" Malik growled.
"Come on Malik, stop acting like you hate him so much because I know well you don't. I know what you see him as, don't think of me as stupid," Mai frowned.
"You bring it upon yourself when you talk Mai," Malik informed her. "So, is that all you wanted?" he asked, walking to his couch and sitting down on it.
"Listen, I'll leave you alone if you join Yami's band," Mai proposed. "Meaning what?" Malik asked, sitting up on the couch, looking at Mai.
"Meaning, if you join Yami's band I'll leave you alone. I'll let you be a free guy. As in, you won't be forced to be my boyfriend anymore. I already got what I wanted out of this whole thing," Mai informed him.
"Remind me, how did you blackmail me into this thing again?" he muttered, giving a glare at Mai.
"I said that I would tell Yami you liked him if you didn't pretend to go out with me and make Jounouchi jealous," Mai reminded him bluntly.
"So, if I join Yami's band, you'll leave me alone and never say a word to Yami about my feelings towards him?"
"Right, and if I do you can…. Oh I don't know, you choose," Mai informed him.
"Fine, you have a deal," Malik told her, glaring at the ground.
"Great! Now you can go and tell him that you'll be in his band. I'd tell him, but I'm not your guys' messanger girl, ya know," Mai informed him.
"See ya, was nice to know ya," she smiled and winked, walking over to the front door and walking out of it, closing it behind her.
"Now, time to call Jounouchi and have him buy me a cheeseburger at Burger World," Mai told herself as she walked to her house and then up to her room, closing her door and plopping down on her bed and picked up her phone, dialing Jounouchi's house.
Yuugi sighed as he walked up to Seto's door. He took a deep breath and knocked, then placed his hand at his side and waited.
I don't believe Serenity wasn't home! Why do girl's always have to go shopping when you need them?! Yuugi asked himself as he started to feel nervous.
He watched the door when he started to hear footsteps from inside the house. He held his breath as the door slowly cracked open.
A tall, brown haired male stood there looking down at Yuugi with his stormy ice blue eyes. The man frowned slightly as he kept his gaze on the boy.
"Yes Yuugi? What do you want?" he asked a bit coldly.
Yuugi gulped and then smiled a bit nervously. "Y-Yami wants to know if you'll be in his band," he informed him, still feeling nervous, though he didn't know why exactly.
The man turned his back to Yuugi and started to walk in, then stopped and looked over his shoulder at the boy. "Coming?" he asked and then continued on. Yuugi nodded and followed Seto into the house, a servant closing the door after her entered. Yuugi was looking around and not paying attention to where he was going, thus not noticing Seto had stopped, and ended up running into him.
"Uhh.." yuugi started before Seto looked back at him. "S-sorry Seto," Yuugi stammered, backing up towards the wall as Seto walked towards him.
Seto placed a hand on the wall by Yuugi's head and smirked. Yuugi looked as though he was scared. His cheeks tinted red as Seto closed the distance between their faces, stopping a few inches away.
"And why does Yami want me in his band?" Seto asked curiously, wondering if Yuugi even knew about his and Yami's past, or was even given a hint about it.
"I-I don't k-know," the boy stuttered as he looked away from Seto.
"Seto!" came Yami's voice. "Back off Yuugi!" he shouted, narrowing his crimson gaze at Seto.
Seto only smirked and looked over at Yami, pulling his face away from Yuugi and placing his hand back at his side, his other hand in the pocket of his pants. He turned and faced his body to Yami.
"How nice to see you again Yami," Seto spoke, closing his eyes as he placed his other hand into his pant pocket.
Yami walked over to Yuugi, giving him a concerned look. "Are you okay Yuugi-kun?" he asked as Seto walked away from the two and into his office, sitting down in his chair.
Yuugi nodded and looked at Yami smiling softly to show he wasn't lying. "Hai, I'm fine, but I didn't get an answer from Seto," Yuugi informed him, a slightly sad look in his eyes as he felt he had let Yami down.
Yami smiled. "Don't worry about it Yuugi, I'll get the answer from him," Yami reassured the small boy. "Now go home and I'll get the answer. I shouldn't have let you come here on your own anyways," Yami frowned, feeling that it was his duty to protect the boy from Seto and his mind games.
"It's okay Yami," Yuugi told him and Yami smiled and then nodded to Yuugi, telling him he could leave. Yuugi did as he was told and left.
When Yami heard the door close he turned and walked into Seto's office and growled slightly as he slammed his hands into Seto's desk.
"What the hell was that!? You hitting on Yuugi like that!?! You even know that he's attracted to you and you just string him along, toying with him like he was a puppy! Like you did to me!" Yami yelled.
"But you didn't see it soon enough, did you? And even after you found out what I was doing you allowed me to continue toying with you," Seto informed him, standing up and walking to the other side of his desk. Yami blinked and turned his back to the desk to watch Seto. Seto pushed Yami against the desk without touching him. "And if I can remember correctly, you still like me toying with you," he smirked.
Yami blinked, watching as Seto moved closer to him. Seto placed his lips against Yami's and locked the there, as he did this he pulled his hands out of his pockets and grabbed Yami's wrists, holding them down as he pushed Yami's back onto the top of the desk.
Seto pulled away, licking his lips and then softly kissed his neck, moving down little at a time, each kiss becoming filled with more passion than the last one.
"Seto… stop, please," Yami asked, closing his eyes as he could feel all the passion and warmth put into each kiss, making it feel pleasurable. "Please," he begged, but stayed limp, allowing Seto to do what he wanted. He flinched lightly as he felt Seto's hand release one of his wrists and slip it under his shirt.
Malik muttered lightly under his breath as he pushed himself off the couch. He walked over to the door and then opened it, walking outside. He stood on the front step for a little bit, looking around as he shoved his hands into his pockets of his pants. He slipped off the stairs to his house and walked down the sidewalk, towards Yuugi's house.
He made a slight 'feh' sound when he got closer, then noticed a small boy on the steps to the house and blinked. "Yuugi!" he shouted out, quickening his pace a bit as he made his way to the boy.
Yuugi blinked and slipped around, noticing Malik. He smiled and waved his hand in the air to Malik. "Hey Malik!" he shouted. "What's up?" he asked as Malik reached him. He placed his gaze into Malik's, looking up at the taller teenager.
"Do you have any idea where Yami is? I have to inform him of something," Malik informed the small boy. Yuugi nodded and pointed towards Seto's house, tilting his head to the side. "He's at Seto's, talking with him," Yuugi told the blonde.
Malik nodded and walked down the sidewalk, turning towards Seto's house. "Arigato Yuugi," Malik finally said and pulled a hand out of his pocket, giving a slight wave, then placed his hand back into his pocket, his eyes closing some.
Why would Yami be at Kaiba's house? Malik asked himself as he slipped up to the door, and knocked lightly on it.
"Seto, sir, someone is at the door," came a man, from the looks f it, one of his servants. Seto muttered lightly under his breath as he looked down at Yami, up against the table and pinned down, his short pulled off and the belts on his pants on the ground. "Answer it and inform them that I am busy," he informed the servant. The man nodded, closing the doors to the office and making his way towards the door.
The man opened the door and nodded his head to the blonde standing there. "I'm sorry, but Seto Kaiba is busy with some paperwork at the moment, if you would come back at a later time I'm sure he would see you then," the man told Malik, looking up.
Malik frowned. "I'm not here to see Kaiba, I need to talk to Yami and I was told he was here," Malik told the man, growling softly.
The servant blinked and looked at Malik, a somewhat shocked look in his eyes. He didn't know what to say and at that moment, Malik knew that something was going on. He wasn't sure if he wanted to know what, but he knew something was up.
Malik pushed the servant out of his way and made his way to the closed door to Seto's office, not actually knowing if he was right about that being the room, but had this feeling. He grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, slamming it against the wall. The door made a cracking sound as it smacked into the wall, leaving a dent in it from the doorknob.
Seto frowned as he looked up from Yami, glaring a death look at Malik. "And what exactly do you think you are doing here?" Seto asked coldly, releasing Yami from his grasp.
"That's a question I should be asking you," Malik growled, glaring back at Seto. He knew Yami wasn't his, but Yami didn't belong to Seto either, so what gave him the right to do that to Yami?
"I don't see why I need to answer your question when you are the one who intruded on me in my own home," Seto frowned as he stood in front of Malik, his cold ice blue eyes narrowing slightly.
Malik growled as his made his hands into tight fists, his knuckles turning white as he narrowed his own lavender eyes. "Really now? I would have to think differently," Malik told him as he sent a punch right into Seto's cheek, knocking him back to the floor.
