Hello again everyone! As usual I would like to start this off by giving all you wonderful readers a big Momo thank you *Huggles Reviewers*! With out all your support and great reviews, a lazy ass like me would have never had the motivation to continue on with this ficcie.

I know I mentioned this before, but this story was kind of an accident. I told a friend about the idea I had, but I had never written a Yaoi before, and I didn't really want to write one. Well when my friend heard this she was like "Well why not? That's just about all you read now a days anyways?" and so I was like "Oh yeah…good point." So here it is, my first ever Yaoi. Heh, and to tell you the truth I'm having so much fun writing this fic, that I sure wouldn't mind writing another Yaoi. I already have a perfect idea for one, but I'll save it for after I finish this fic.

Anyways I would just like to clear up a few things. I tend to like to rant and rave, so if any of you thought that I was peed about any reviews begging me to make the pairings a certain way, I wasn't. I really do like to hear your incite no matter how extreme, but for those of you who felt my pain, and encouraged me to not sweat it and do what I want with no pressure, thank you. *Sniff* You guys are so sweet. However, I have still been left with the problem of deciding the final pairings, and the votes are so close that more then likely I won't be able to depend on them as much as I would like. Some of you guys are VERY convincing, but you really persuasive people are rooting on both sides! Oh well…I still got more then a few chapters left before I have to make any drastic decisions.

Anyho, even though this chappie is to make up for all the Yami/Yugi and Seto/Jou moments in the last chapter, and is more Seto/Yami and Jou/Yugi based, I hope ALL of you will still like it. To tell you the truth this is one of my favorite chapters. I think its pretty funny and there are moments here for everyone. Who doesn't like sexual tension come in from all four sides *wink-wink*. Oh and the ending has such a twist. Well hope you like and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or any of characters. Hey if I did do you really think what I'm writing now would be called a 'fan'fic. Naww baby, it would be how the series would really go, and then the series would be rated XXX! Hmm kind of makes you wish people like me did own the show…

A 360-Degree Bermuda Love Triangle

Chp4 Camp Nowhere

"Ehh…"

"Are you sure you know what you're doing." Grumbled Kaiba as he stood directly over the blonde's shoulder and frowned.

"Of course I do. What do I look like?" Snapped Jonouchi as he tried to push the prying brunet out of the way.

"A damn near fool." Grumbled Seto as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Up your's rich boy." Barked Jonouchi as he flicked Seto off and stuck out his tongue for an added emphasis.

"Tch!" Snorted Seto, as he rolled his eyes away from Jonouchi's finger.

"Now children." Hissed Yami in a tone that resembled that of a cross parent.

"As I was saying, I can get this fire started in no time!" Exclaimed Jonouchi as he puffed his chest boisterously.

"I hope so…it's getting dark and it's also starting to get a little cold." Shuddered Yugi as he rubbed his hands together suggestively.

"Don't worry Aibou. I'll keep you warm if need be." Smiled Yami queerly as he scooted closer to Yugi.

"Thanks Yami!" Chirped the oblivious Yugi.

"…" Jonouchi rose a brow towards the smirking spirit questionably, but then shrugged his suspicions away, finally deciding that he was making too much of a small thing.

Seto however was not so quick to let the idle slip by, as something deep within his chest began to burn. "Oh brother. Come on Muttly, get the fire started already before I hurl."

"Geez calm down! I'm getting to it!" Retorted Jonouchi irritably.

"Then get it started already!" Barked Seto.

"You two fight like an old married couple." Chuckled Yami heartily.

"And you two act like a pair of newly weds." Retaliated Seto.

"Kaiba! How could you say such a thing?" Exclaimed Yugi as his face turned a deep crimson red. "I'm sorry Yami...for doing anything to embarrass you." Apologized Yugi as he backed away from Yami, earning a faint sound of protest from the former pharoah. Yugi however didn't notice, as he seemed too preoccupied with his own embarrassment.

"Hmph! If they aren't idiots, then they're as naïve as hell…why do I get the feeling I'm not going to live through this one…" Muttered Seto under his breath as he watched the scene bitterly.

"You just take the two sticks, and rub em like this…and…err…ARGHH!" Bellowed Jonouchi as he had long since decided to ignore Seto and Yami, and returned to his task of attempting to start a fire.

"Jonouchi…are you sure that's the way you do it." Questioned Yugi just as the two sticks Jonouchi was rubbing together snapped in two.

"Of course I am. I've seen it done a hundred times before on TV." Smiled Jonouchi triumphantly.

"…" An awkward silence filled the air, followed by the sound of an ever-tense breeze, as everyone stared at Jonouchi in utter disbelief.

"So what your saying." Grounded Seto in a dangerously low and shaky voice. "Is when you said that you knew how to start a fire it was only because you saw it done on TV?"

Jonouchi nodded his head happily, as he failed to catch Seto's point.

"KATSUYA!" Thundered Seto as the internal vein in his head busted. He then shuddered, and snapped to his feet as he somehow found enough resolve to keep from killing the blonde. "I swear I…err that is it. I don't even know why I even try to deal with you fools…I think I have better chances on my own."

"Kaiba where are you going?" Called Yugi as Seto began to storm off.

"Far away!"

"But it's not safe to split up." Exclaimed Yugi worriedly.

"Oh and am I any better off with you fools?" Snapped Seto.

"…Kaiba…" Trailed Yugi, his eyes now became glossy and somber.

Realizing that the dull color that had suddenly taken over the boys normally bright violets, was due to Yugi's plain concern for him, Kaiba felt his heart do another strange twist. He then let out a loud frustrated shout, as he realized he was giving his conscious too much control over his actions again. "…Gods! I'm just goin to take a leak Mutou! Can't I do that or do you intend to hold my hand and lead the way?"

"Oh…sorry…I didn't know…" Trailed Yugi, as he tried to hide a faint blush.

Seto let out an internal sigh of relief as he realized Yugi's eyes were now back to their normal shade. He then snapped back to his senses and scowled just before he turned back around and stomped off. "Seems to be the reoccurring theme in your little club."

"Shuddup!" Growled Jonouchi, revealing the fact that the boy had not been entirely ignoring his surroundings. "By the time you get back you'll eat those words, because I will get this fire started, even if it kills me!"

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

 "ACHOO!" Sneezed Jonouchi as he squeezed his arms together and shivered. The remnants of an attempted fire now lay near his feet, long and forgotten.

'I'm going to die…on a deserted island…with the three stooges…what did I do to deserve…' Groaned Seto.

"Well I don't think there is much more that we can do tonight." Replied Yami as he stared up at the now starlit sky. "It's too dark to really do anything, so I suppose we should call it a night for now and plan in the morning."

"I agree." Smiled Yugi.  Seto merely snorted in response, while Jonouchi nodded his head in agreement.

An uncomfortable silence soon filled the air, as everyone pretended to avoid staring at each other. Each person secretly lusting after another, but too afraid or stubborn to take advantage of the opportunity they were now being handed. However, the tension was abruptly cut as Yugi let out a small sneeze and shivered.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get the fire started." Blurted Jonouchi, before anyone could react. He then lowered his eyes shamefully towards the ground and spoke just below a whisper. "If you want…we can sit closer together. That way our body heat could maybe keep us warmer?"

Yugi's cold chills were quickly demolished, as he began to shiver for an entirely different reason. Jonouchi had no idea what kind of effect his seemingly innocent jester was now having on his smaller friend.

"Whoa…Yug, here I thought you were cold, but man you're burning up." Laughed Jonouchi idly as he scooted up next to Yugi.

Yugi's body however wasn't the only thing that was burning, as Yami's crimson eyes began to flare with heated jealousy. He, however, expertly hid his envy as he merely stared at the nonexistent fire silently and muttered something under his breath.

"Th-thanks Jonokun." Stammered Yugi as he prayed to Ra his heart beat would slow before Jonouchi felt it. Yugi was then completely taken off guard as Jonouchi threw his arms over his shoulders and grinned.

"Yeah, this is much better!" Smiled Jonouchi. "You know Yug, you are really warm and comfortable. Now I don't feel cold at all either."

Yugi's face was now a bright red as he quickly snapped his face away from Jonouchi. It was now taking every ounce of his resolve to keep from jumping the blonde or doing anything worse.

Yami was now on the verge of shaking as he glared at the pile of wood in front of him so hard it nearly ignited. Seto also seemed to be affected by this display of 'friendship' as he could see Yugi's crimson face perfectly.

'Is Yugi? No…it couldn't be…and then again….'

Jonouchi let out a loud yawn, oblivious to Yugi's distress and the sudden uncomfortable feeling in his best friends pants. "Man I'm tired. You'll have to forgive me if I accidentally fall over on you or something Yugi, because I'm liable to pass out right now." Chuckled Jonouchi as he leaned on Yugi for support.

That was the last straw as Yugi quickly jerked to his feet, causing Jonouchi to fall forward in the process.

"Yugi?"

"I-I…eh…" Everyone stared up at the paling Yugi blankly, as they weren't sure what to make of his sudden strange behavior.

Yugi's eyes began to dart in every misshapen direction nervously, searching for any kind of distraction that could save him. However, the only thing he could find was a smirking Kaiba, and a glaring Yami.  "Err, Yami…aren't you cold too? Don't you want to join us?"

"Well I…" Trailed Yami as he stared back at Yugi and Jonouchi uneasily. A part of him wanted nothing more than to come between Yugi and Jonouchi, and another part of him wanted nothing more than for Yugi to be happy, and get what he wanted.

"Yeah, Yami. Why don't you join us?" Beamed Jonouchi as he patted a spot next to him and Yugi suggestively. "Three is warmer than two."

"Tch. It's three is company too mutt." Muttered Seto silently.

Yami stared back at the grinning Jonouchi uneasily and then the desperate looking Yugi, before he reluctantly shook his head in agreement. "Well if you insist."

Jonouchi and Yugi brought out their arms welcomingly as all three boys huddled next to each other tightly. Both Yami and Yugi's faces were now beet red, while Jonouchi merely smiled innocently, happy for the extra body heat.

"See? Isn't this nice." Replied Jonouchi.

"I…well yes." Smiled Yami weakly as Yugi scooted up closer to the spirit.

All eyes then suddenly fell in the same direction, as one lonely brunet who was pretending to ignore them, caught their attention.

"Uhh Kaiba…" Started Yugi.

"What!?!" Snapped Seto quicker then he had intended.

"Aren't you cold?"

"No." Retorted Seto, just before his body betrayed him and he sneezed.

Yugi stared back at his Yami pleadingly, eyes begging him for help. Realizing what Yugi wanted, Yami let out a defeated breath, as he realized there was no way he could deny his Hikari.

"Kaiba…why don't you join us." Sighed Yami.

"Why should I!?!" Growled Seto as he lowered his head in an attempt to hide his faint blush.

"Because if you don't, you'll get sick."

"I don't need you're help." Bit back Seto.

"Fine." Gritted Yami, as he tried to remain cool, despite his obvious annoyance. "So we don't get sick…we sure could use the extra warmth."

"And why should I help you three?"

Yami was now past the point of patience, as he stared back at Yugi helplessly. However, the longing look in Yugi's eyes quickly won Yami over twice.

"Because…because I would appreciate it if you would."

"…" Seto grew silent, as a war between his heart and mind began to rage. The bigger part of him wanted nothing more than to cuddle with the former pharaoh, and possibly a few other things (*wink*wink), but the small bit of reason that Seto usually embraced was keeping a firm hold on him.

However, it was a losing battle as Seto let out a heavy breath, and nodded. "Fine…do whatever." Muttered Seto just below a whisper.

"Great!" Chirped Yugi as he hopped up and sat next too the stiffening brunet. Yami and Jonouchi also reluctantly followed behind him, as Seto mentally cursed to himself.

'I must be getting punished for something I did in a past life…'(Authoress Note: Bahaha, that pun was unintentional, but ain't it the truth?)

It was a long night on a deserted beach out in the middle of nowhere, as four very hot, and stimulated teens huddled together, minds brimming full with the thoughts of all typical hormone driven boys…

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

Two azure orbs slowly drifted open, as Seto was quickly snapped back to the world of reality. "What the fu-"

Seto's breath caught painfully in his throat as he woke up to a sight he had only envisioned in his wildest (and dirtiest) fantasies. Jonouchi was now laid out across Seto's lap with Yami stretched on the blonde's back, legs dangling over the boy at the most alluring angle, and somewhere below the mess of legs and awkwardly stretched out limbs was Yugi; legs and arms sticking out of the most impossible places.

'It looks like we just had a damn drunken orgy!!' Grunted Seto, as he shook his dazed head. He then took in a deep breath, over came his teenage yearnings, and abruptly stood up.

"Wha?" Murmured Yugi as he rubbed his sleep clouded eyes.

Yami quickly jumped to his feet and took on a defensive stance, seemingly alert until he blurted something that sounded like a cross between "Kuriboh! I choose you!" and "I caught a Dark Magician."

"Yami?" Smiled Yugi queerly as he tapped the spirit on the shoulder.

"Huh." Blinked Yami as he finally woke from his trance, oblivious to his previous ramblings.

He was then taken off guard as Jonouchi un-expectantly attacked the spirit and hugged him tightly to his chest. "Heh. That tickles." Giggled the blonde dumbly.

"Uhh…Jono." Sweated Yami, as he tried to squirm out of the half dreaming boy's hold, but failed.

"Uh-huh." Laughed Jonouchi in such a twisted tone Yami couldn't help but shudder out of stimulation.

Seto raised a brow to the blonde questionably, while Yugi stared at the scene wide-eyed.

"That's right…a little to the left." Muttered Jonouchi.

Yami's face was now deep red, as he suddenly stiffened upon hearing Jonouchi's last statement.

Seto let out a strangled sound, before he kicked Jonouchi hard in the back of the head.

"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?!" Thundered Jonouchi as he sat up and rubbed his head. Yami took this opportunity to escape the blonde as he jumped up and hid his embarrassed face.

"It's time to wake up Mutt." Scowled Seto.

"A simple 'Hey You' would have sufficed." Grumbled Jonouchi sourly.

"Well we don't have time for formalities Sleeping Beauty. We have a long day ahead of us, so save the crying for someone who cares."

"What do you mean Kaiba?" Questioned Yugi.

"Well last night I had a lot of time to think…considering I couldn't sleep…" Mumbled Seto inaudibly.

"Oh?" Smiled Yami.

"Right now the most important thing for us to do is to get that fire started. That way we won't have to suffer through another night like before, and also more importantly we can use it as a distress signal."

"Right! Well I can do that." Exclaimed Jonouchi. Seto merely rolled his eyes in response.

"Yeah like last night." Muttered Seto.

"Hey, I got close to it." Protested Jonouchi.

"You mean when you lit your pants on fire?" Retorted Seto.

"…"

"Fine." Groaned Seto as he rubbed his fingers through his hair irritably. "Then I'll leave that task to you…it's not like you can do any worse then before."

"So then that leaves the task of us finding some kind of shelter, and gathering some kind of supplies. Ra only knows how long we'll be trapped on this island together, and I'll be damned if I die here with you guys."

"Well as crude as you were, I would have to agree with that plan." Replied Yami.

"Well first we should head back to that oasis that the mutt and I found."

"You found water?" Questioned Yugi. "Was it safe to drink? Because you know I heard of this one water parasite that lays eggs in your genital region and-"

"Of course it 's safe! What do you take us for?" Chuckled Jonouchi uneasily as he subconsciously reached for his groin.

"Well then how bout you and I go and get some water," Suggested Yugi. "Since you know where it is and…"

"Yugi! Are you alright?" Exclaimed Yami as Yugi suddenly lost balance and landed in the spirit's arms.

"Oh…I'm just fine." Breathed Yugi raggedly.

"Oh my gosh! You're burning up!"

"No…it's just a little warm today… that's all." Reassured Yugi as pulled out of his Yami's arms.

"Yugi…you don't look so well." Stated Jonouchi worriedly.

"He must have gotten sick after last night." Replied Seto apathetically. "That's not good…considering we don't have anything to treat him with…"

"Maybe you should stay here with me Yugi, and rest." Offered Jonouchi. "You can help me start the fire."

"But I feel fine." Protested Yugi just before he briefly passed out, and was swiftly caught by Jonouchi.

"Aibou… please stay here and rest. Kaiba and I will take care of things, and once you feel better you can help us."

"…okay." Sighed Yugi as he realized he was outnumbered.

"Can we get going already?" Huffed Seto impatiently.

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

"AHA!" Exclaimed Jonouchi. "I did it! I did it!!! I made a fire! Now who's the man!?!" Triumphed the blonde. "Yo Yug, guess what…Yugi!"

Jonouhi's victory was abruptly cut short as he turned around only to find Yugi half passed out in the sand. "Oh man! Yugi." Shouted Jonouchi frantically as he ran to his friend's aid. He then helped sit Yugi up in a more comfortable position and stared back at his friend sadly.

"Oh I'm sorry Jou…I don't know what came over me…I just started to feel tired and…"

"Don't worry about it man." Chuckled Jonouchi uneasily. "Damn, this is all my fault. If I would have just gotten the fire stared last night, then you never would have gotten sick."

"No Jonouchi! Don't blame yourself!" Nodded Yugi.

"But it is my fault! I always mess up like this…" Frowned Jonouchi as he silently berated himself.

"Jou…" Trailed Yugi, as he couldn't help but get lost in Jonouchi's soft honey eyes.

Yugi then blinked as Jonouchi stepped away from him and smiled weakly. "Man your burning up. You need something to cool you down." Yugi let out a sharp breath as Jonouchi ripped the bottom of his shirt and then ran off towards the shore. He then came back, and placed the shredded part of his shirt, which was now soaked with water, on Yugi's forehead.

"I know it's not much, but at least it's better than nothing." Smiled Jonouchi as he held the cloth over Yugi's head. Yugi was now at a loss for words as the only thing he could do was stare at his friend, and add another point to the list of reasons why he loved Jou.

"Jonouchi…that was your favorite and best shirt." Protested Yugi softly.

"And you're my favorite and best friend." Smiled Jonouchi.

Yugi felt his heart thump hard against his chest, as he quickly turned his face away from Jonouchi. At this point he was afraid that his eyes would reveal too much. He was then startled as Jonouchi pulled him into his lap and sighed. "I promise Yug…I'll help you get better."

"Jou…"

"So don't worry about doin nothin, and get some rest…because if anything was to happen to you…" Jonouchi's words chocked in his throat at the thought, as it took him a moment to recover. "I would never forgive myself."

Yugi then felt his eyelids grow heavy as Jonouchi began to rock him in the most soothing motion.

'No…I can't fall asleep…' Cursed Yugi as he fought against his weary body. 'I want this moment to last as long as…'

Jonouchi smiled down at his friend, as he watched the boy snooze silently. Even he had to admit that Yugi could be just so cute…especially at times like this. 'Maybe if we weren't such good friends…' Jonouchi laughed at the thought as he hugged the boy closer to his chest and shrugged away the thought.

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

"I have to admit Kaiba, I am very impressed with the way you took charge back there." Stated Yami after a few moments had passed.

"If I didn't then who would of?" Shrugged Seto. "Besides, I'll be damned if I rot on this Ra forsaken island with you guys any longer."

"…" Yami grew silent with thought, before he finally stopped walking and stared up at Seto. "Look Kaiba. I know you don't really like me very much, but for the sake of survival, how about we at least try to bear each other…you know, like a temporary truce."

Seto pretended to stare through Yami, as he wasn't sure how to respond. 'Oh this is just great! Yami thinks I hate him! Why would he…okay so maybe I don't give off the kindest impression, but still! I thought he was smart enough to know that, that is just the way I am.'

"When did I ever say I didn't like you!?!" Blurted out Seto. He then quickly snapped his back to the spirit as he realized what he said a moment too late.

"Kaiba?"

"Let's just get going." Snapped Seto as he gave the spirit no leeway to respond.

A tense quiet once again filled the air, as Yami stared at the back of Kaiba's head, and Seto purposely took wider steps in order to keep a firm distance from the former pharaoh. Sure he knew this was the best opportunity to have his way with Yami, but now that Seto thought about it, he never planned everything this far through.

He had only dreamed of chance to be alone with the spirit, but he never thought it would happen. So now he was completely unprepared, and was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would only say something insulting that would make Yami dislike him even more.

'Here I thought Kaiba hated me…but with him it's hard to tell…' Contemplated Yami as for some reason he couldn't take his eyes off of Seto. 'You learn something new everyday…so maybe that's why Yugi is so nice to Seto…he's probably the only person who actually read past Seto's heart and saw that his attitude problem was just a big act…I should have known.'

"What are you looking at!?" Snapped Seto as he finally noticed Yami's prying eyes.

"Nothing." Chuckled Yami.

Seto muttered something under his breath, as he continued to trudge off.

'Perhaps I should give Kaiba more credit…I mean even though he's my rival, now that I think about it he's really not all that bad. We have been through a lot with Kaiba…and at the end of it all, I find myself admiring him more and more. Sure as a person he still has plenty of personality issues, but for as long as I have known him, Kaiba has been one of the most strong willed and determined people I have met, and it is for that reason, I know that I can always trust and depend on him…Besides when it comes to dueling I can find no one more challenging and intriguing as I do him…he is definitely one person I am proud to call my rival…I just wish that we could get along better…Which is why I've always wondered…why is it Kaiba is so insistent on pushing everyone away from him…what is he so afraid of?'

"Take a picture. It last longer." Snorted Seto as he stared back at the gaping Yami through the corner of his eye.

"I don't have to. I have a good memory." Smiled Yami wryly.

Seto let out a small placid laugh and rolled his azure eyes indignantly as he muttered under his breath. "Oh yeah, this from a dead guy who can barely remember where he came from."

"Hmm, so true." Hummed Yami slyly as he gave Seto a dubious smirk. "Perhaps I don't know where I come from, but at least I know where it is that I am now and where it is I want to go…can you say the same thing too? Because the way I see it, the past is something that I can put behind me, but the present and future is what I can look forward to now. So tell me Kaiba…you know where it is you came from so now tell me…where is it that you are now?"

"…" Seto remained silent, as he subconsciously began to walk slower. How was it that Yami always seemed to mess with his head? With Jonouchi, he gave an insult and received an amusing display of huffs and yaps, but with Yami, he was always left wondering what the hell just happened? He wasn't supposed to feel so confused and vulnerable after giving an insult. Putting people down was suppose to build his selt esteem, not make him feel inferior. "I don't have to take this." Seto finally answered as he realized he had prolonged his response for a little too long.

"Avoiding the question. That's fine, I guess telling me is not all that important, but you know in the end it's something for you to face." Sighed Yami as he decided to drop the subject.

Seto was now irritated beyond belief as the part of him that hated to lose at anything conquered his affections for the spirit. "Well right now the present is me being stuck on a stupid island with the midget version of Dr. Phil, a touchy feely Umpa Lumpa, and their stupid pet dog! So in the near future I would like to see me iout of this hellhole, and as far away from you all as I can possibly be! So just save the small talk and let's get goin!"

"Fine." Snapped Yami as he brushed passed Seto angrily.

Seto was now left standing alone with his thoughts as he watched the object of his desires stomp off in a heated rage. Undoubtedly pissed because his inability to control his mouth. This wasn't usually like him. He was usually always able to keep control, but for some reason, with Yami around his mind was always out of sync and in a mess.

'Dammit…why did I do that…It's because he cornered me! I couldn't think straight and then…ughhh.'

"So how much farther do you think we have to go?" Questioned Yami, his obvious irritation towards Kaiba apparent in his dry tone.

"I don't know." Sighed Seto.

Finally Yami stopped, causing the half dazed Seto to nearly run  (or better put trip) into him. "You know it just occurred to me that once we find the water, how are we going to carry it back to Yugi and Jou?"

Seto shrugged his shoulders lethargically, body and mind both exhausted, as he resisted the urge to sit down. "…Yeah…I was thinking about that for awhile, and well I figured maybe we should just set up camp here…however we will need some one to keep a constant lookout, so that's why I left the mutt with the fire. Ra only knows if he's competent enough to start it, and well I knew Yugi was in no shape to walk here, considering his condition…so our main goal really was to just set things up the best that we can, and try to figure everything as we go."

"Heh." Chuckled Yami.

"What?" Snapped Seto, although a little less intensely than normal.

"Well I must admit that's exactly the way I figured things would have to be as well."

"Well I suppose I'm not too surprised that you and I are on the same page." Smirked Seto as he eyed Yami oddly.

"Hmm. That does usually seem to be the case." Smiled Yami back.  "So then why is it that you and I can't seem to get along?"

Seto was silent, as he tried to read Yami's intentions through his eyes. However, after realizing the spirit had a more solidified game face than even he, Seto gave up. "…We're here." Mumbled Seto as the long drawn silence enabled him to hear the familiar signs of their sought out stream, aiding in becoming the perfect distraction.

"…" Yami gave Seto a defeated nod as he merely walked past him and towards the streaming sounds.

'I should've known he wouldn't answer…'

"Ahh…this is nice." Breathed Yami as he admired the tropical like lagoon that Jonouchi and Seto had stumbled upon. He then knelt down by the edge of the pool and cautiously dipped his hands in the cool clear waters.

"It appears that this water has been well preserved. No doubt due to the lack of tampering by civilization…which sadly only verifies the fact that this island is indeed deserted." Sighed Yami before he finally took a drink.

Seto didn't say a word, as the only thing on his mind was how remarkably captivating Yami looked perched out before the lakeside, the reflection of the light bouncing off the water giving the dark alluring spirit and even more ethereal appearance.

'Yami…if only I had the words to tell you what I'm feeling right now.'

"Take a picture. It last longer." Smirked the spirit as he stared back at Seto through the corner of his eye.

"What!" Blurted Seto as his face began to burn.

"You must be more tired than you think…dazing off like that is very unbecoming of you. How much sleep did you get last night?" Inquired Yami as he finally stood up and faced Seto.

'None…because I kept staring at you all night.'

"Enough." Chortled Seto.

"Well aren't you going to get something to drink?" Questioned Yami. "I assure you the water is safe…as a matter fact I think it's a lot better than the poison Yugi drinks out of those cursed school water fountains."

"I'm fine." Muttered Seto, as he was still feeling a little shaken after just being caught staring at Yami.

"Suite yourself, but don't blame me if you get sick from dehydration." Shrugged Yami. His eyes then darkened as he let out a soft sigh. "I bet Yugi and Jou could sure use some water about now…"

"Well we have no way to bring them any at the moment."

"…" Yami didn't answer Seto as it appeared he wasn't entirely paying attention to him. He then knelt back by the side of the water, and turned and smiled up at Seto. "Kaiba…can I ask you something."

Seto merely nodded his head, which was a good enough response for Yami. "You and I aren't really what you would call friends…are we?"

"Not really." Sighed Seto despairingly. As much as he wanted to be and so much more, Seto was too much of a realist to say otherwise.

"But…we're not exactly what you would call enemies either…" Seto felt himself move closer towards the spirit as he could barely hear Yami's low murmurs.

"Well…I guess not." Answered Seto honestly.

"Then I guess that would just make us acquaintances by this societies standards, but to tell you the truth…" Yami's voice began to trail off with his thoughts, as Seto felt his irritation rise. What point was the spirit trying to make?

"I consider us more than that, and despite what you feel, I really do trust and rely on you."

Seto felt a strange feeling tug at his chest, as he merely stared at Yami who was now trickling his fingers through the waters reflectively. 'What are you trying to say?'

"I know you're not the type to do this, but…would you please take care of Yugi for me while I'm gone?"

Seto about fell over, as he was totally unprepared for such a response. 'Of course! I should have known! The only person Yami gives a shit about is that damned Mutou. What could I have possibly been thinking? It's no wonder I loath optimism.'

Seto was then pulled from his thoughts as Yami bent over, took another gulp of water, waved back at Seto, and disappeared in a bright flash.

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

Yami blinked, and then blinked again, as he stared up at the groggy eyed teen.

'What the hell!' Exclaimed Yami mentally as he realized what position he was now in. Yami was now laid out in Jonouchi's lap; arms nestled comfortably in the blonde's chest. 'I don't even want to know what was going on before I got here.' Grumbled Yami to himself.

"Err…Yami?" Piped Jonouchi, as he was suddenly awoken from his half dozed trance. One moment he was half asleep, holding Yugi in arms, in an attempt to help his sick friend keep comfortable, and the next second he was shocked to find a 3000-year-old pharaoh in his place. However, what surprised him even more was the fact he realized the difference in their bodies so quickly.

"What are y-" Started Jonouchi just before his eyes widened. An unfamiliar gleam took over Yami's eyes as he tilted his head forward, threw his arms around Jonouchi's neck, and captured the unsuspecting blonde's lips.

To be continued…

WTF!! Yeah, I sure wish I could take a count of how many people just blurted that out.

*Grins evilly and then breaks out into a malicious fit of laughter*

Seto: Wait a minute…I thought Yami liked Yugi, and could quite possibly end up liking me instead. What does the mutt have to do with any of this?

Jonouchi: Stop callin me that

Yugi: Where is Yami! I would like to know what is wrong with him

Seto: Hmm, it would seem he conveniently didn't make it to this chapter's closing notes

Yugi: I can't get a hold of him through our mind link either

Seto: *Turns to Jonouchi* Puppy…you are such a slut. Lusting after me, keeping Yugi wrapped around your finger, and stealing kisses from my pharaoh!

Jonouchi: Hey don't look at me. I didn't kiss him and I sure as hell didn't write in such a twist

Everyone: *Glares at Momochan*

Momo: What!?! Hey don't look at me like that. Besides it's not as bad as you all think. It's actually leading to a very funny scene. Just read the next chapter, and you'll see what Yami's up to. There is a method to my madness, although I just thought of a really good twist for this fic considering what just happened

Seto: Yeah, but is their a point to your super psycho streak?

Momo: HOHOHOHOHO ^o^

Yugi: If you ask me. I think she just likes to write really evil cliffhangers

Jonouchi: Please read and review so I can figure out what the hell is going on
