:: Crossing Over ::
+ Chapter Eight +




Anzu followed Jou, yawning. She was still half-asleep, and didn't want to go anywhere, but she had no choice. She had never walked this much in her entire life! What was he thinking anyway? The president itself? She glared at his back, wanting to struggle him right and now. But she just couldn't, no one was going to protect her if Jou was dead or nowhere around.

She was tired, really tired, and couldn't take this torture anymore. Sitting down on the floor, the brunette alarmed the blond to stop for a rest. After a moment of silence, she spoke,

"Look, it is impossible to get out of here, so just give up already." She sighed wearily

"What?! Don't tell me that all we had done are nothing?!" He tried to not talk too loudly, looking at her in horror.

"This dungeon is a maze! How can we escape, huh?! You don't even know where the exit is!" She yelled at him, forgetting that they were pursuied by Pegasus' guards.

"Shhh! Be quiet! Do you want to get caught?!" Jou wanted to calm her down, but it seemed like Anzu didn't listen to him at all.

"Hey! I was telling the truth! This is labyrinth! Do you hear me? A L-A-B-Y-R-I-N-T-H?!" She screamed, letting out all her anger and tiredness which she kept for hours. "What are we supported to do?! Try to find a way to get out?! Yeah, right, we don't even have a map! And I'm tired and hungry! If you want to leave this place, go ahead, I won't follow you." She folded her arms stubbornly, didn't want to move an inch from where she was sitting.

"If this is your decision, that's fine with me!" The blond couldn't take it anymore; he had to get out of here so he wouldn't be discovered by the guards. It was too late; one of them had spotted them and warned his comrades their location.

"Great....They found us." Jou cursed mentally, "Stay here if you want, I'm going to hide myself from them." He told the brown-haired girl, before beginning to run, not wanting to be captured by the enemy.

"Euh...Wait for me, Jou!"

She followed him after seeing what those men had in their hands, guns. Unfortunately, her navy high heels wouldn't want to cooperate. Instead of helping her run faster, they made her trip up and fall off, giving her an odd look of her position. Jou stopped, shaking his head, he turned back to help her.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"My leg, it hurts..." She shouted out a painful cry when she tried to move her wounded leg.

The brown-eyed teen sighed. Putting one of her arms on his shoulder, he assisted the girl to escape from the silver-haired man's guards. They walked as fast as they could since they weren't able to run, with Anzu being injured and he carried the brown-haired girl, it would be impossible for them. Jou looked around, hoping that he could seek out a place for them hide. No such luck today, even if he found one, they would be discovered easily by the warders because of their closeness between the guards and them.

Just then, they ran into a dead end; unable to get away, Jou decided to fight for their freedom, but change his mind after seeing how large the group was, and when he noticed what things were pointed to them, pistols. The blond wasn't a superman, so how could he win against so many people; especially when each of them had guns in their hand, ready to fire when one of the teens made a wrong move.

"Hehe…I guess they get us..." Jou laughed nervously. "Sorry....I shouldn't take this path..." He apologized to the girl while running a hand in his messy hair, waiting for bringing back to the prison.


******************************************


"Hey Kaiba, what're you so uptight about?" Otogi asked as he walked in.

"Do you know where Pegasus' secret hiding place is?" Instead of replying the black-haired teen's question, Seto threw back another one to him.

"Why do you worry about it? Didn't you say you will NEVER accept his proposition?" The green-eyed teen looked at him suspiciously.

"If I accepted his invitation, I would follow his instruction on the letter, you idiot." Seto rubbed his temples, why almost all the people he met were stupid?

"Then, why do you need that place's location?" The long-haired asked curiously.

"I want to get him back." The blue-eyed teen said calmly, "He is kind of fun to play with."

"Just why do you care about it? I thought that blond boy meant nothing to you." Putting his hand under his chin, Otogi looked at the brunet thoughtfully.

"Like I said, he is fun to tease with." The cerulean-eyed teen said matter-of-factly. "So, will you give me the map or not?"

"I'll search for it IF you tell me the real reason, Seto Kaiba." The black-haired teen folded his arms in a business way, keeping his look of Do-not-lie-to-me-or-else-you-won't-get-what-you-want.

"This IS my _real_ reason, Otogi! What else do you want me say?" Seto narrowed his eyes, what was Otogi planning to do?

"Oh reaaaaally?! It looks to me that you _worry_ about him." The green-eyed teen raised an eyebrow, not trusting the multi-billionaire's words a bit.

"Why would I worry about a worthless Chihuahua?! I just want to keep him as a toy." The brunet gripped his fists tightly, glaring at Otogi.

"That's a lot of trouble to go through for someone you don't really care, Kaiba. He isn't the only one you can play with, you know? There are other people who act almost like him." The long-haired teen smiled amusedly after seeing Seto's reaction.

"Can't you hear me, I said, go find information about that maniac's hiding place, Otogi!" He said those words with his grinded teeth, trying to calm himself down. Why did he lose his control again?!

"As I said, I want you to tell me the REAL reason behind this before I get to work, Kaiba." He replied coolly, not being afraid of getting himself killed.

"Do you want a quick death or a painful death, Mr.Otogi?" Hitting one of his fists on the poor table, he smiled coldly.

"If you kill me, you won't get what you want. You know I'm good at researching stuffs." Otogi shrugged, if Seto denied the truth again, well, he was going to help him find out his feelings. After all, the black-haired teen had nothing to do, so let's just called it a little present he gave to the rich teen.

Seto didn't like people disobeying him, the rich CEO of Kaiba Corp. loved to have the upper hand in anything, but looked like the situation had reversed. Scowling at his second source of anger, he asked,

"What do you want to talk about?" He sat back on his chair, having a very bad feeling about this...

"Since you're so confused, let the Great, Mighty, Nice and Handsome Otogi Ryuuji tell you something: You fell in love with the puppy." The green-eyed teen smiled sweetly, knowing this would only exasperate the enraged teen.

Slapping his other fist on the pitiful desk again, he yelled, "I DO NOT LIKE HIM, OTOGI!!"

"For real? Then why are you angry?" The long-haired teen sneered.

"I just don't want people think this is for real, Otogi! What if the news knows?" If Seto didn't need this conceited young man, he would kill him instantly.

"Hey, Kaiba! Down to Earth! We are _in_ your office, not in a public place!" He waved his hand in front of the blue-eyed teen, "And even if it _was_ for that reason, then why do you want him so badly, huh?!" Otogi looked at him, hoping Seto would find out very soon. He only got one life, and he didn't want to lose it for an unimportant thing.

'Jounouchi, you'll have to thank me for that.' The young ladies' man cursed mentally his playful habit which got himself into this. He didn't that the brunet was _this_ stubborn!

"Are you deaf, Otogi? Because he is fun to play with! That mutt's emotions are easy to manipulate, in addition he is a short-temper mongrel. And he always wants to fight back even though he can NEVER win against me, in either verbal or physical battle." The cerulean-eyed teen smirked, "And he disobey my orders, not seeing me as a rich CEO that everyone respect and afraid of."

"This is why you want to keep him?!" After seeing Seto's nod, he continued, "But Kaiba! I'm just like him, but more intelligent, of course. And if you hadn't noticed, our so-called fights are much more entertaining than those between you and the puppy. No only that, I do not respect you since I play around with you too, Seto dear." He grinned evilly, "Soooo....It shouldn't be the true reason you want to find him, riiiight?"

The brunet thought about it; the dice boy was right, he did act like that mongrel. "Maybe yes, maybe no..." He wasn't sure about himself nor convinced about what Otogi had told him.

"Well, I suggest you that instead of wasting your time and money on that piece of trash, why don't you play with me?" The green-eyed teen smiled seductively, "I meant, I'm more attractive and look more feminine than he is, Kaiba. And I'm a good bedmate, better than anyone else..." He lead closer to the arrogant CEO, almost had himself on top of him.

Otogi snickered mentally after seeing Seto looked at him surprisedly, 'This is so fun....I think I should do that more often.'

"Get off of me, Otogi!" The blue-eyed teen shoved him away after recovering from his stunned condition. "You are nothing compared to him! Unlike you, that dog will never do this to anyone." He glared at the long-haired dice boy.

"Oh, then you're saying you prefer him over than me?" Otogi looked at him with a hit of hurt, but inside he was smirking. "Why?" The black-haired teen was close to his goal, any wrong move would lead him to a failure, and he didn't want it.

"Because he would never ask me that sort of question!" Seto glared at the boy sitting on the floor. "Jou knows when to push things, but unlike YOU, he knows when to stop. He's better company than you'll ever be. Jou doesn't act like everybody else; he doesn't NEED to. He doesn't say what I want, and he doesn't always disagree with me like YOU do. He says and does what he feels, and he doesn't let anybody or anything change that. You want to know why I prefer him over you, Otogi? Because he's one of a kind, and you're just part of the crowd. I prefer him over you because he only answers to himself, and he'll never let anybody change that. Jou is true to himself, Otogi, and that's more than you'll ever be."

Instead of having a sad or angry Otogi in front of the rich teen, the flirting teen stood up and looked at him seriously. "You just admit your feelings, Kaiba. I'm happy that you find someone you like." He smiled friendly, reaching the door. Before opening it, he added, "And you just called him Jou, Kaiba! That's the first step to show your love! You should call him by his name more often." He winked, and closed the door.

The multi-billionaire looked at him with wide eyes, before realized what he'd just said. "What did I just say?!" He blushed, "That Otogi, he is going to pay for that!" He swore.

Why did Seto Kaiba always fall for Otogi Ryuuji's love trap? Nobody knew...


******************************************

A/N: Yes! Another part that Infinity writes! You ppl must be very happy, ne?*winks*

Jou growled, struggling against the man that held him. Anzu didn't bother to struggle because of her injury, so the guard that held her pushed the door open. "Master Pegasus, we found them loose in the dungeon." Jou's guard said.

The blond winced as he was tossed to the ground, Anzu's guard dropping her a little more gently and pointing a gun at both of them so they wouldn't move. "What shall be done with them?"

"What, indeed?" Pegasus mused, looking at them with a scary smile.

Just then, Croquet came in. "Sir, your spies on Mr. Kaiba sent me their latest report."

"Excellent. Give it to me."

"They overheard a conversation while Mr. Motou was visiting." He informed his master. "Neither of them accepts your generous offer."

Pegasus looked at the two of them with an ugly snarl. "Well, it looks like your boyfriends don't care much for you, after all...."

Pegasus walked forward, and knelt before the two of them, staring at them intently. He reached out and ran a finger down Anzu's cheek, watching her pull away. "Such a beautiful girl you are.... Do you think your boyfriend would still love you if you weren't this beautiful?"

Anzu flinched. "Y-Yami would love me no matter what!"

"Oh my, how very sweet." He grinned sadistically. "Would he be that loyal if I took your beauty away?" Pegasus stood up, and said something to one of the guards, who left.

"What are you planning?" Jou demanded.

Pegasus ignored him, pacing until the guard returned, and handed him a long leather whip. The silver-haired man smiled, and shook it loose, lashing out. "This."

"Hey!" Jou leapt to his feet, and threw himself in front of Anzu, knowing how unhappy Yami would be if his girlfriend was hurt. "Leave her alone; she never did anything to you!"

Jou cried out in pain as the end of the whip slashed diagonally across his cheek, making an angry red welt. He put a hand up to touch it, wincing. "Beauty is one of the things most important to a girl! You can't take it from Anzu!"

"Do you ALWAYS get in the way?" Pegasus demanded, glaring at Jou.

"You could say that." Jou panted, still holding his cheek.

"Handsome and fair, are we?" Pegasus mocked. "Well, girls aren't the only ones who can have their beauty taken away...." He cracked the whip again.

Jou yelped as the whip caught him along his arm. "You heartless bastard!"

"Such language!" Pegasus scolded. "I'm afraid that I'll have to whip it out of you... puppy." He smirked, using Seto's pet name for Jou.

Jou's eyes widened, and he tried to back away. The whip was long though, and Pegasus could easily keep him in reach.

"Stop it!" Anzu yelled. Jou had stood up for her, now she should stand up for him! She tried to get up, but fell back down from her injured leg.

"Is Miss Anzu mad that I'm being rough with her friend?" Pegasus mocked. "Don't worry; I'll be gentle from now on...." He made his way over to Jou, and pulled him close with one hand, gripping his hair with the other so he couldn't escape, and kissed him.

Jou's eyes widened, and he let out a small noise of surprise and horror, twisting in Pegasus' arms and tearing his mouth away. He ached all over from the whipping, and he felt humiliated. Seto would never let this happen to him....

"Let him go!" Anzu pleaded.

"It looks like both of you have big mouths." Pegasus still held tight to Jou, preventing him from going anywhere. "Such a dirty mouth, but it tastes so good...." The silver-haired man smirked. "I think I can see why Seto-boy likes you. If he doesn't come to his senses, I think I might keep you...." He claimed Jou's mouth again, more forcefully.

Jou stiffened in horror, and he could hear somebody whimpering, realizing that it was him. He could feel Pegasus' tongue slither into his mouth to claim it, slimy against his own. It was a bruising kiss, rough, hard, and degrading, as Pegasus forced his own body to respond.

Where were Yami and Seto? Were they just going to let him STAY here? He'd thought that Yami cared for him too much to let his friend suffer like this.... heck, even Seto should've been a little concerned!

He wanted to see Yami again, and know that there was somebody who would notice and care that he was missing. He even wanted to see Seto again; his teasing wasn't half as bad as this sort of humiliation. Brown eyes fiery with hatred, Joey bit down full force, grinding his teeth as hard as he could.

Pegasus threw him away with a roar of pain and outrage, and Jou hit the wall hard, sliding to the floor in a daze. The silver-haired man turned to his guards. "Lock that girl up again; I'll deal with HER tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." The two guards each took one of Anzu's arms, and started to half-drag, half-lead her out, as the door had been left open from Croquet leaving earlier.

Pegasus knelt in front of Jou and grinned viciously, pulling the blond's shirt over his head, and ran a hand across the teen's smooth chest.

"Handsome, indeed." Pegasus purred darkly, pulling a knife from his belt. "Soon, my pet, I'll show you what is in store for those who disobey me...." He moved to straddle Jou's waist, one hand leaning his weight on the teen's shoulder, so he couldn't escape.

When Jou was aware again, the first thing he saw was a flash of silver. His eyes followed it down to his bare chest, where a knife was poised under his collarbone. "Wh-what are you....?"

"Hold still, Little Pup." Pegasus advised him, and then with the utmost care, began to carve into Jou's flesh with the knife, like a painter working on his canvas, with red blood for paint.

Jou screamed, eyes shut tightly as he tried to escape, though he was being held down too tightly. Each time the knife moved felt like fire being traced across his skin. Tears of agony squeezed out from beneath his tightly closed eyelids.

The symbol slowly took shape, slowly because the artist wanted to drag it out. A bold crimson eye stood out against Jounouchi's pale skin, the wound cut so that it was precisely as deep as his skin, so it would leave no disabilities or health problems. Just a scar, to show that the mutt was his, his now and forever.

Jou felt something cold and sticky fall onto his stomach, sliding down onto the floor with a clatter. He shivered, feeling something warm and soft trailing across it after, and opened his eyes to look.

Pegasus was bent over him, tongue moving in sensually slow, smooth strokes as he cleaned off the blood on Jou's stomach from the dropped knife. The older man leaned forward, a few strands of silver hair tickling his skin as the tongue moved up to his chest to clean the wound.

Jou shuddered with mixed pain and pleasure, and turned his head away, not wanting to see what was being done to him. Pegasus noticed this, and gave him a predatory smile. "Oh, we ARE going to have fun, aren't we, pet? Just you wait, there is still SO much more...."

Pegasus smiled, his brown eyes boring into Jou's. "But, I think I'll leave you to think over your behavior, and see if you'll have a change of heart...." He stood up, and handed Jou his shirt, opening the door. "Go back to your room for now; I'll know if you try to escape. And trust me, if you thought this was bad...." He left the threat unsaid.

Jou glared at him, rubbing tears of pain and anger from his face, and left the room. He'd show that bastard....
