Chapter Five:

Yami Yugi felt his hands being restrained by powerful arms. His legs can only do so little, given that Seto had managed to pin it down as well.

"To hell with five-star suites," growled Seto in a dangerously honeyed voice.

"I guess this place will have to do..."

Yami's red eyes widened in shock. Oh no.

"Seto, no... B-bad idea, I swear," stammered Yami. "I admit, this is something you don't see everyday, but there are more suitable places - Mmmpph!"

For the second or third time that day, Yami was silenced with a kiss. The force of the sudden kiss had sent Yami's head colliding against the floor, the wind being knocked out of him. For a moment, he was dazed, his body rasping for air, his struggling form stopping momentarily.

Seto smiled as he felt Yami's body relaxed under him. You can't resist me forever, you know. "You're right, I don't see you everyday, so I'll indulge myself."

Yami could feel his consciousness slipping away. "Uunngh," he moaned in pain. He could feel his head throbbing. Have...to...stay...awake.... He was finding it hard to keep track of Seto, who was at the moment too busy fumbling with what had been left of Yami's clothes, not noticing his lover was on the brink of fainting.

Seto sent Yami shivering as he gave him a soft kiss, a kiss that had turned out to be more urgent, more desperate. Yami was reluctant to let Seto manipulate him, but the hungry kiss went back to gentle pecks, Seto murmuring Yami's name over and over. Can't resist... Yami's hands, now free from Seto's grip, clutched his lover's head, his fingers raking through the soft oak-brown hair. Seto felt Yami's tongue darting inside his mouth and was taken by surprise, but the brunet recovered quickly, returning the kiss just as hungrily. The kiss, though at first rooted somewhere around lust, was mingled with something else. Yami could feel the intense love dripping in Seto's kiss. By the time they'd separated from each other for a bit of air, the hunger and the lust in the kiss had finally died. Yami could only sense Seto's love.

No words came out from each other for a moment. The silence of the alley was merely punctuated by short pants and gasps of air. They were both staring at each other, eyes misting, faces flushed, lips wet and swollen. After that quick pause, they finally immersed themselves once again in a heated kiss. Do I want to stop? Yami asked himself over and over, the question finally leaving his mind as Seto continued to take him gently, slowly. With a slight frown, Yami eyed Seto's long trench coat. Sassy and expensive it might have been, yet for Yami, it was just a big obstacle to the grand scheme of things. He laid his hand on Seto's strong shoulders and gave him a significant look.

"Take that thing off," Yami imperiously commanded.

Seto was only too happy to oblige. With lightning-fast agility, Seto tossed aside the trench coat, which now lay forgotten on the floor.

"Where were we?" Seto asked in a liquid voice dripping with passion.

An indulgent smile formed Yami's lips. They were yet again lost in the heat of the moment.

Yami. Yami... Yami!

Yami started, his lips pausing in his and Seto's silent exchange of ecstatic kisses. Voices. From somewhere. Yami Yugi could hear it. Has somebody finally noticed us here in the alley?

Yami, wake up!

The voice didn't come from outside. It was here, inside his head.

Hikari!

I've been calling for you ever since you ran into the alley. Weren't you listening? Hikari asked him.

Were you? I didn't hear you...

You're losing control. I thought you have the upper hand when it comes to Kaiba...

Hikari... Yami called out to his other self.

I've got four words for you, Yami, Hikari began. Stick. To. Our. Plan.

Hikari's voice seemed to wake Yami out of his reverie. Yes, the plan. I cannot jeopardize the plan. Especially not the plan he himself had organized. Not now, certainly. The whole while, he felt like giving it up. In fact, he had given up; Seto was a lot more formidable than he thought. Of course, Yami had to blame himself too. A part of him wanted Seto. Had it not for his other self calling him, well, Seto would emerge triumphant. Seto would ultimately get what he wanted once and for all.

Surging with newfound strength, Yami grunted and with an almighty heave, he pushed Seto roughly, this time firmly and resolutely. "No!" Yami then stood up, his focus and concentration clearer than ever. Thank you, partner, Yami told his other self gratefully.

No problem, Yami, Hikari replied. I guess this is why I'm here, in case you lose your marbles completely.

Seto slammed hard on the stone-cold floor, his rear end first, a mixture of surprise and confusion etched on his face. "What the hell...!" He stared back at Yami, giving him an ice-cold glare that wasn't really meant for someone like him in the first place. "Why'd you do that for?" he demanded, as he gingerly stood up, trying hard not to rub his aching rear. Better not having anyone see him rubbing his butt. "And just when we're getting there!" this remark, left Seto's lips without him realizing it. No matter.

"Naughty, naughty, Seto," Yami started, his index finger wagging dangerously, his voice much like the Devil, as if tempting him. "The day is still young, can we not wait till the lights go out?"

"What nonsense are you blabbering about?" fumed the sexually-charged albeit pissed-off Seto. He held his head, his hand brushing past his sweaty brow, and past his chocolate hair. Calm, Seto, calm. He tried to grasp his past lessons about Anger Management which ended up rather badly because Seto lost all his nerve at the instructor and decided to throw the sucker out of his sight. Now Seto was doing all he can to remember that pathetic seminar. Great. Search for your chi. Yeah, I remember that one, Seto racked his brain for more ideas. He closed his eyes for a moment. Search for my chi...

"I thought you're going to accompany me to other rides here in the carnival?"

Seto's eyes flew open. He dared himself not to look at Yami, yet look he did. His search for that blasted chi evaporated in thin air.

"Uhm, maybe we could buy some clothes first? You managed to tear apart my favorite jumper..."

Hikari Yugi blinked his round eyes innocently at Seto.
