Disclaimer : I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. Curses.

Notes : This is a relatively AU story, yaoi and a bit of yuri. J/S, YY/Y, B/M, a little Mai/Sh. This story contains violence to a good degree. Would be picking up after Battle City basically, along those lines.

This is more or less another filler, them heading to Egypt and settling in for the night. The next chapter will be much more interesting when they visit the tomb! New pairing coming up too. With Kiss My Hand finished, I'll be able to put more time into this story. I thank all my reviewers!

Summary : Semi-AU. It would seem Jonouchi will have a greater role to play in the resurfacing of the past memories, though it doesn't bode well for Yami. Violence, obsene language later, maybe lemon, depends. Yaoi, J/S, YY/Y, B/M, O/DR, N/Mo.

Legend of Red Eyes

Part 7

By Reppa

"Okay…now, why are we on our way to Egypt?"

"Because we need to lift Kaiba and Jonouchi's curses."

"That explains Kaiba being on the plane…and why am I here?"

"Um…because you wanted to be?"

"All right, why is Bakura here?"

"Malik didn't want to leave him behind, obvious reasons..."

"And why is the Dino freak here?"

"He's here to put his foot up your dice rolling ass if you ask one more stupid question!" A voice barked behind him as Otogi's seat was hit roughly. Seated behind him, Yami and Yugi were a peeved Ryuuzaki and a snickering Malik, across from them were Jonouchi and Bakura and in front of them sat Isis and Seto. Rishid was seated near the back.

Their bickering and merriment made Kaiba scowled with a great deal of agitation. It wasn't like what had happened was anything to ignore or joke around about, he pondered whether anyone on this plane gave a real flying flip if he had been injured in any sense. Not that he cared if they paid him any mind. He glanced from the window at his side to the Egyptian woman next to him, her eyes closed as she waited. He blamed her, it was all her fault and when this was over, he'd never see the wretched woman again, whether or not she was truly at question or not.

While Kaiba fumed, Jonouchi sitting behind him sighed, shifting where he sat in discomfort. He hated being on planes, nothing to do and he thought Rishid was going to throttle him when he made to whip out his Gameboy Advance. That guy could be scary, really, so intimidating and tense. There is a word called relaxation and he needed to look into that.

"When we get there, you will all be staying in the abode Pegasus had purchased for his stays in Egypt. He left the keys and care to me when he was away." The female Egyptian murmured as they were drawing close to their destination. Said fact getting several of them to stir as they took peeks out the windows.

"Okay…so aside from settling in, we aren't wasting any time on this thing, are we?" Bakura demanded in an annoyed tone, he could care less whether Kaiba or Jounouchi were cursed, the only good thing he saw of this was the chance to raid a forbidden tomb. If the trinkets as he'd seen in the museum were only a small portion, he could just imagine what else was to be found. Of course, Malik made him swear not to be up to his usual tricks, but he wasn't watching him all the time.

"We had best not waste any time, the sooner we're done and gone the better." The brunette in front of him scowled, glaring back at the thief and the blond, "And if anyone prolongs this trip, they'll be strapped to the wings for our ride home."

~*~

Getting strapped to the wings kind of sounded fun actually. But that'd wait for the trip home. Jounouchi was settling into the room he was stuck sharing with Kaiba. Pegasus's home in Egypt was, as expected, rather large and richly decorated. It was even close to putting Kaiba's home to shame. Really, the blond could see himself getting very used to staying here for the time being.

As he sat down on the exceedingly plush bed, he thought the brunette was going to raise hell when Rishid stuck the two of them together. Either the tall Egyptian did so to annoy him or he just wasn't all that aware of the thin line between them both. But Jounouchi wasn't going to argue, he would be able to watch Kaiba dress and even better…shower. The bathroom they had with the room was not separated from the main portion of the room by a door and the shower lacked a curtain to hide behind. To this, Seto was quite unhappy with.

"If I have to wash up and I catch you watching me, I'm going to rip out your eyes, mutt. Do you understand me?!" The brunette scowled, glaring back at him. This was so humiliating. He was stuck with the blond in the same room, with the same shower, and even worse…the same bed. Yes, they were stuck sharing the same bed since there was only one in the room and Seto pondered how comfortable the couch was as opposed to the bed, or if he could get Jounouchi to sleep on the couch, "And if you touch me at night, I'll rip off your fingers."

"Sure, and while we're setting rules, Moneybags…I'm gonna make a few of my own." Jounouchi snorted from where he sat on the bed, legs crossed, "No calling me names, no being the bossy, sassy little thing you usually are, and no hurting me."

Kaiba rolled his eyes at the stupidity of the other teen's rules. Like he was going to agree to any of that. While the two of them were setting up their own boundaries, Yugi and Yami settled into their room, Bakura and Malik were making themselves more than comfortable, and Otogi was stuck having to deal with a very irritating Ryuuzaki who seemed he was prohibiting him from sharing the bed. The dice duelist was better off just going with the flow lest his physical health be in jeopardy.

"The floor's good enough for you, so quit complaining!!"

~*~

"Ow…get off of me. You're way too heavy…!" There was a loud rumble before Mokuba came tumbling out of the luggage closet followed shortly after by his step brother Noa, who flopped onto him rather painfully. They had been hiding under a blanket beneath the luggage the others had brought. Thankfully Rishid hadn't made to look under and there hadn't been that much luggage packed. The green haired boy was immensely heavy for Mokuba to really deal with so he rolled off quickly, shaking his head fixing his hair and clothes. The darker haired boy stood up slowly, brushing himself off with a soft moan, "Geez…least we're not in the closet anymore and I can't believe you talked me into this, Noa! Seto is going to be furious!"

The original Kaiba boy sat there on the floor, legs crossed and chin resting on his hands, humming softly, "So? Come on, Mokuba, how often do you go to Egypt and visit a real live tomb? Maybe there'll be mummies…" He had made it a habit to listen in on his older step brother's conversations, especially when he could hook up with the phone jack or pry into his mail both virtual and paper unnoticed. A few mistakes on Seto's part when he had a robotic body fashioned for the boy when they had discovered him and his mind wandering about in the KaibaCorp Databanks. "It's not like Seto can do anything about it anyway. Nothing he could do scares me and he loves you too much to make any sort of real punishment. Don't worry."

That was true. Mokuba sighed a little as they made their way off the medium sized plane. It was one of their own, his older brother deeming that usage of one of his own would prove more reliable. He looked to the fine house under a mile away as Noa eventually joined him. It was growing late in the day, the sun was setting. "So what do we do now…just walk over there or what?"

"Well…we can do that…or we can take care of ourselves and stay out of their sights. Then we can follow them here and there, afterwards, we make ourselves known when it's about time to leave. If Seto knows we're here, we won't be able to see the tomb unless we do even more sneaking around!"

That was true too and Mokuba nodded in agreement. They'd keep to themselves and just follow after. He didn't sit in a cramped closet with Noa's robot rear in his face for nothing now! The plane had supplies on board, enough to support one person at the least and it did have an in-built bathroom. "We'll just stay with the plane until they make their move then, which will probably be tomorrow, I don't think exploring the desert at night is a good thing to do."

"Right. But it won't be good for you, but I can manage. You stay here, inside the plane, and I'll get us some good transportation."

~*~

Part of him wondered if Kaiba was made out of wood or something of the sort, the brunette was good and tense when he turned in for the night. Beforehand Jounouchi had done a little meandering for the time being and getting himself a decent snack though there wasn't anything that good in the kitchen while the CEO went to bed fairly early. Now the blond was ready for sleep as he slid in next to him carefully, no amount of arguing or snaps could get him sleeping anywhere else really. Like he was going to sleep on a couch when he could share beds with Kaiba for crying out loud! Who would?

Kaiba was wearing a plain pajama set of a long shirt and shorts while Jounouchi crawled into bed just in his boxers, he would have opted to sleep completely nude but he knew that was crossing the line.

:What…does he think I'm going to molest him in his sleep?: He pondered to himself, looking over the brunette's stiff form. That wasn't such a bad idea, and even better, he'd annoy the living daylights out of Kaiba and make it subtle. Like a shift in his sleep with a light brush along his arm or legs, or roll over and a little rub against his side or back. It was funny to listen to him growl and twitch every time too. He just knew the other was ready to smack him for it.

Soon he was ditching the more subtle tricks as he let his fingers brush along the back of his smooth thigh before a not so subtle groping at his backside, his hand rubbing up just a little between his thighs. Like before, he had been joshing about Kaiba having a bony ass, it was far from it and he could leave his hand there for quite a while. Of course Kaiba didn't feel the same way as he jerked up, twisting around before pouncing on the blond with a loud growl, hands aiming for his throat. "I told you to keep your hands to yourself, you pervert!!"

Jounouchi yelped in surprise as the brunette sat on him, trying not to burst into laughter as he tried to wrestle him off and roll the both of them over so that he was on top. The scowling CEO wasn't going down without a fight. He flipped Kaiba over before making his way to the top and trying to pin his arms down as best he could. At least there wasn't any kicking yet. The headboard of the bed banged against the wall loudly as they fought, easily heard by their neighbors in the other rooms.

Next door, Yugi and Yami had been sleeping until they heard the immense ruckus next door right next to the headboard of their own bed. The small hikari's face was beet red as he was starting to get the wrong idea and he looked to Yami who just laid there on his back, staring at the ceiling with wide crimson eyes, || I don't want to know, aibou, I really don't…||

|Oh boy…well…at least they're finally getting along?|

|| I…suppose so, but…do they need to be so loud about it?||

Down the hall on the other side of the bickering duo's room…Otogi and Ryuuzaki were stirred from their rest as well, though the commotion they heard wasn't as loud as what the other two were listening to.

"I knew they were gonna do it eventually!!"

"Is it possible you two can have quiet sex per chance?! Nobody wants to hear that!!"
