Here's the next installment! This is one of my favorites! I never thought I'd have more than one chapter and here I am with four! Its amazing what things the bored mind can come up with. But I adore writing and I will have you all know that I will ALWAYS finish something...even with the enormous pauses between chapters sometimes! So have no fear and keep coming!
Tale of a water Sprite. Chapter Four.
In which coincidences are done over by fate and the Gods.
::.::.::.::.::
I'm not sure what it is that attracts me to him. The white hair, that amazing smile with teeth so white you can see your reflection, his personality, his innocence...I'm not sure in the least what it is, but he is beautiful. In Egypt, it was no unheard of for men to be together romantically, although it was not talked about often- if at all. Of course, he was talking now.
"Katsuya and I were best friends years ago before he and I moved here. He was the only one who would talk to a freak like me when we were children. I was the only one of our kind besides him whom had chosen a human form for thou--"
I chose this moment to interrupt, his words processing in my mind. "Human form? Are you some type of alien, then?" I was curious enough to ask, so he had better give me an answer.
"I'm not...human, if that is what you are asking," he says, a slight accent that isn't British breaking through for a second. Could it be possible that he wasn't a native Britain like he led us to believe?
"Then what the Hell are you?" I spat. Maybe the tone was too harsh, but I do not enjoy liars, other than myself. He flinches back and I relish the movement. It means that I've made him feel something toward me--it doesn't matter that it's fear.
"I-I'm what humans consider a 'Water Sprite'," he says. The stuttering is endearing but annoying as all sin. I'm not going to hurt him, I just want him to feel something toward me and not his retarded (I loved the word retarded...it just rolled so easily off the tongue) friends.
"Is that some sort of pansyish pixie?" I ask him tonelessly. The word 'faerie' suits him more than 'pixie', though. He is slight and beautiful and delicate and easily hurt. Pixies are horrid creatures, even for being a part of the faerie family. But no one needs the mythology lesson especially since my gorgeous hikari is speaking once more.
"It...you could call it that, although we are so much more than that. We are the guardians of all bodies of water. We help keep it clean and pure...that jar means so much because it is part of the sea I was appointed to before Katsuya was kicked out and I was thrust into the role as his guardian." He didn't say the last part as if he were bitter...just lonely.
"I understand why Katsuya would need a guardian, the clumsy mutt, but why you?" I ask, trying not to let my curiosity shine through, and it seems to be working.
"I'm supposed to make sure he doesn't find his vowed lover, if one even exists...I think they made it up since they obviously killed any possible chance..." he says, gazing at his jar of water. For an unknown reason, this makes me want to hug him and be with him forever. I hate that feeling.

"You," breathes Kaiba and Jounouchi almost falls from the seat in which he is perched. The way that one 'you' is said makes the blonde's heart race, his mind blanking for the second it would have taken to register the brunette's quick movement. He probably would not have, anyway. Before what seems like a minute passes, Kaiba throws sixty dollars on the table to cover the bill and tip and walks out, a certain skip and his step.
Katsuya is left stunned, fingers at his lips where the other's own had been just seconds previously.
::.::.::.::.::
He's going to hate me...why couldn't I have just left it alone without kissing him?! I ask myself frantically. I won't admit that I am in a wonderful mood thanks to it, but now I know the object of my affection will hate me. That is precisely what I have dreaded since the beginning of this expedition. Not only is my secret out, but now I have made a complete and utter fool of myself. I'm sure there will be pictures of my lip lock with the puppy all over the front page of the newspapers.
Maybe I'll fire someone when I get to my office. Firing people has always been my relaxant. If not relaxing me, then making me feel more in control. I need that right now because I am not feeling powerful in the least.
Forget it, I'm not in the mood to go to my office. I haven't been for a long time. I swerve from my current path and head toward the park. Yes, I'm aware the puppy's friends come here often, but I need the solace that comes with nature. Maybe it will help clear my head and maybe it won't.

Katsuya sat, fingers still at his lips, staring at the spot where the CEO had previously laid dormant. Why'd he feel the need to do that? He asked himself, oblivious to the man now next to him asking his name. His heart was beating in his chest frantically, and he couldn't seem to think straight.
The blonde had known he was gay for a very long time. His very first crush had been a blonde with brilliant grayish blue eyes named Jeth. Jeth had captured his heart but turned him down harshly when he found out. And, of course, Jounouchi had had a very powerful crush on the brown-haired CEO since he had first seen the man. As a cover-up for this, he had resorted to harsh words and violence.
He stood abruptly, his chair hitting the man behind him and knocking him over, but Katsuya paid that no heed. All he knew was that he needed to be rid of this place and he knew the perfect place to do that...the park.

I know what is happening. It all seems like a whirlwind of feelings and emotions. Everything happens so quickly, but I know this for certain--I am aggravated at my spy. I am angrier than I have ever been at anyone. That brat! How dare he break his promise to me. Ryou, my little gorgeous flower. You will pay for falling for your dark. You will pay for not noticing the similarities between Seto and Rangeru.
You, my delicious flower, will never know pain so unbearable. You will wish you had never accepted this mission. Jounouchi is mine, you understand, flower? You need to protect him from the evils of his chosen one. He needs to love me, and me alone.
Rejecting him was a way of testing him. None could ever know how I felt about the half-breed. But they're all dead or dying, now. You should have seen how your mother screamed, Ryou, when she saw me come at her for your insolence. You should have never let my precious Jou out of your site. Now she's dead. You didn't know what death was until your father, did you? He was worthless, anyway. I need Katsuya, and I will have him...whether you approve or not, little delicate flower.
Have no fear, flower, Jeth is here.
::.::.::.::.::
That last one was horrendously creepy to write...Jeth already scares me. And those were just his thoughts...I don't want to know about his actions until I've already written them.
I hope you enjoyed this. I was trying to switch around perspectives and add a little suspense into the mixture. They also FINALLY kissed. Not very long, but they did, at least, right? Also, if you're confused...No, Seto isn't just after our poor little Jou because of the 'prophecy'...he had an amazingly elaborate crush on Jou long before he realized, "Hey...this must be that guy I'm looking for." Although, the two had been fighting far too long for him to suddenly change. And Jou liked Seto long before, also. Just to clear that up!
Yes, there will be Ryou/Bakura because currently I'm in love with the couple almost as much as I'm in love with Seto/Jou. Almost.
