xXxSeto's POV Before He Stepped OutxXx

Where did he go? I saw someone grab him and fall into that secret passage in the wall...I can hear voices ahead of me, farther down the hall I am walking down. There are torches lit up everywhere to show that someone has been spending a lot of time down here. Whoever took my Jounouchi is so going to pay...I turn a corner and immediately run back behind it. I hope they didn't se me...I cautiously glance around the corner again. It's Otogi...he's got Jounouchi! He's tied up...his arms above his head, chained by shackles. He's been blindfolded and knocked out...Otogi began to advance on him, apparently having woken the blond up. Gods...what am I gonna do? Otogi usually always has something up his sleeve...The things they're saying to him...Mai you little slut...Otogi you whore...I swear to Ra...I have to stop them...Mai turns my way and I whip around, my trench coat swaying slightly with the sudden movement. Damn it! She's spotted me! Quick! Think of a plan...Gods Jounouchi...you're going to hate me for this...It' the only way...I walk out into the open, knowing I am caught. Jounouchi's whole face lights up upon seeing me, a bright smile highlighting his features...such a beautiful smile...Please forgive me for what I am about to do...

"I see you've got Jounouchi-koinu all tied up over there...good for you. Now to see what other minors you can molest in a given amount of time." I say, m voice thick with sarcasm. Otogi glares at me and my eyes go cold. Ruthless, like they once were because of him...

"Ah, Kaiba...here to save your precious koinu perhaps?" He taunts me...seeing how far he can push my buttons.

"Nope. In fact, I've come to see if I can get in some of the fun. If you both don't mind sharing a beaten inu three ways that is." Jounouchi's eyes fill with fear and betrayal and his mouth goes agape. His eyes begin to tear as I give him that look...That same look I used when I beat him...I only hear Otogi's confirmation as a brief annoying whisper in my head, but Mai laughs and I know she's about to say something meaningful.

"To think! The one Jounouchi loves so much is going to be the one to break him, again!" she says. Gods...I'm so sorry Jounouchi...I'm supposed to be a genius and this is the best plan I could come up with...I'm pathetic...I smirk and walk up to Jounouchi. I grip his chin and kiss him hard. I've wanted to kiss him...but not like this...never like this...this is horrible...My teeth close around his soft bottom lip and break the tender flesh. He cries out against me, sobs wracking throughout his body as he tried desperately to throw me off. He's thrashing violently...Gods...Make it stop...My eyes bore into his, showing nothing of my inner turmoil as my mouth breaks into his demandingly. He whimpers lightly as I rub my hands down his body. I've got to end this now. I take my mouth off his and undo the button to his jeans. I smirk at him and turn to Otogi.

"You want to go first?" I ask him. He nods and Jounouchi sobs, thrashing against me again, almost as if to say he'd rather it be me that goes first...Blood trickles down from his wrists...they're cut rather deeply. I move out of the way, reluctantly, and Otogi moves to stand in my place. Mai as simply over looking for now...She'll be easy to take out...I walk over to her and swiftly push her presser points, causing her to faint. I catch her and set her to the ground gently, not wanting to alert Otogi to what I am doing. What a blonde...she didn't even suspect anything...

"No-no! Stop! Please!" Jounouchi cries out. Otogi...My mind is seething in rage...I look over to see that Otogi has already taken out his 'arousal' is you could even call it that, and was currently pushing my puppy's pants down. I lace my hands together and hurl my enhanced fist into the juncture where the neck meets the shoulder on Otogi. He stills immediately before he crumples to the ground, groaning in pain. Jounouchi looks at me in complete surprise and unsure gratitude. I glare down at Otogi's moaning form. My eyes dark with anger.

"If you ever touch him like that again, you'll be in a hell of a lot more pain." I growl out and kick him in the ribs. That should keep him down for just enough time...I turn to Jounouchi, but I cant face his eyes...not after what I've just done...I reach up and unlock his hands with the key I had just taken from Otogi. He falls forward without the support and my arms encircle his waist to catch him. He head rests limply against my shoulder and he whimpers again, ashamed at not being able to move away like I know he must want to. They must have hit him good the first time round...He's shaking despite his skin being akin to fire, is it fear, or is he cold? I'm guessing it's the previous rather than the latter. I reach down and pull up his pants, pushing the zipper up and refastening the button I myself had undone. He jumps unexpectedly ad begins to thrash again, thinking I'm He pushes at my chest with his hands and I pull him closer by the waist. He turns his head, eyes squeezed shut, the red mark becoming brightly visible from where I had slapped him. I pull his body against me with my right arm and reach down with my left to pick up his legs. Bridal style is the easiest to carry anyone. Even when he's off the ground he's still thrashing. He's kicking up violently and pushing at me with all the strength he's got left. I growl.

"Jounouchi! Stop!" I yell at him. He stills suddenly and goes nearly limp in my arms. My eyes soften...I must have sounded really cold just then. I sigh and begin walking down the path I had come. I kicked open the door theta led to the main hallway of the hotel. I walk into the bright light and see Bakura and Yuugi. They rush over, nearly screaming.

xXxNormal POVxXx

"Jounouchi!" Bakura yelled. He ran up to Seto and took the boy from his arms. Jounouchi looked up at who held him now and smiled weakly. He reached up and wrapping his arms around the albino's neck, trying to keep he blood off as well. Bakura hugged him closer and Seto growled, eyes narrowing in jealousy.

"What happened?" Yuugi asked, him and Bakura eyeing the wound on the blond's lip disbelievingly. Jounouchi winced.

"Don't worry about getting me wet Jounouchi...I can always get cleaned up later." Bakura said lightly, dismissing the odd wound for the time being. Jounouchi nodded and set his bloody wrists firmly behind the yami's head. He rested his face in the crook of Bakura's neck. Seto ground his teeth together angrily.

"Otogi..." he seethed. Yuugi's eyes widened before they glazed over. Before they knew it, the rest of the group was running towards them. Anzu had tears in her eyes and Honda was close to crying as well at the site of the bloody blond nestle in Bakura's arms.

"Gods Jounouchi...What did he do to you?" Honda asked, almost to no one. Seto heard and answered his question.

"He tried to rape him." He said, emotionlessly. "Mai was there as well. She had been aiding him." Jounouchi whimpered in remembrance.

"Lets go get you cleaned up, c'mon." Ryou said, ushering Bakura and Jounouchi into a nearby room. Jounouchi hissed lightly as he was jostled about. Bakura shh'ed him tenderly and smiled, trying to cheer him up.

"Don't worry, Jounouchi...We wont let them hurt you anymore..." Bakura whispered. He may have been an uncaring, ruthless yami...but he did always have a soft spot for the loud-mouthed blond in his arms.

"Kaiba...Somehow...I think there's more to this than you're letting on." Yuugi implied. Kaiba faced him, his gaze so cold and so dead it made Yuugi flinch.

"I acted as if I was apart of their scheme...I was against Jounouchi as much as they were." Whispered the brunette.

"Relax...hold still." Ryou lightly commanded while tending to Jounouchi's left wrist. Bakura smoothed the blond's hair out of his eyes as Ryou moved on to the right.

"Sh...you'll be fine...Ryou has to put some disinfectant on now...it will hurt...so just squeeze my hand, okay?" Bakura murmured into the boy's ears. Ryou winced as he was forced to apply the rubbing alcohol he knew would hurt the blond only more. Jounouchi winced all the sudden, grasping Bakura's hand tightly, his breathing quickening into hyperventilation. He squeezed his eyes shut and screamed as the pain became too much for him to handle.

"You what?!" Yami yelled as he grabbed Kaiba's collar, pulling him down. Seto growled and glared at the five thousand year old Pharaoh.

"I acted on instinct! I did what I had to, to save him!" Seto yelled. He heard Jounouchi cry out and he quickly moved out of Yami's grasp. He ran over to the door but decided against going inside. He stopped abruptly and looked longingly at the closed door. He set his hand on the hard wood and sighed. "I've never regretted anything more in my life...That look in his eyes is something I'll never ever forget...But I had to...there was no other way...Not any that I could thing of..." Seto murmured. Yami sighed and walked over to Kaiba.

"Kaiba...I...its okay. He knows you don't want to hurt him, he knows you would never." Yami said. Seto looked over to him with sad cerulean eyes shining in loneliness.

"But I did. I did hurt him. I'm half the reason his wrists are so cut up...he resisted against me...I hit him and split his lip with my own teeth...No matter what anybody says...I'm the one to blame...not anyone but me. It's my fault this is happening. My fault he hates me..." Seto whispered. Yami recoiled in shock. Kaiba had actually physically hurt Jounouchi? He swore he would never...but then, Otogi must have been pretty serious for him to have to go to such lengths to try and stop him.

"I hadn't meant to hurt him...I didn't want to...But I knew if I didn't do something right then and there...Otogi would've imprisoned me as well..." Seto continued.

"Kaiba-san..." Ryou called, opening the door to where they were examining Jounouchi's wounds.

"Yes?" Kaiba answered, facing Ryou with his normally cool, stoic blue eyes.

"Can you come here a moment?" Ryou asked, motioning for the brunette to come close.

"Why? What's wrong?" Seto asked, scared. Ryou looked nervous.

"It's Jounouchi...he wont talk...and when he does, he's muttering...something about being betrayed...Do you know what he's talking about?" Ryou asked. Seto's eyes hardened.

"I do." He answered. Ryou was taken aback by his icy reply.

"Oh...Well, then, would you please come inside and give us a hand?' Ryou asked. Seto nodded and they both stepped inside the dimly lit room. Ryou walked up to stand beside the table Jounouchi lay upon, Bakura urging he blond to let him bandage his wrists. Seto stayed in the back, not wanting the blond to see him. He didn't know how he would respond.

"Jounouchi, please hold still, I need to bandage your wrists with some healing solution before you bleed to death!" Jounouchi kept his hands to his chest, not caring if he was soaking his favorite shirt in blood, it was already torn in half.

"Jounouchi please!" Ryou insisted. Bakura grasped his wrists, pulling them from his body.

"Jounouchi! Stay still!" When Jounouchi refused yet a third time, Kaiba stepped forward and held him down to the table so Bakura could hold his wrists more firmly.

"Stay still, mutt." Jounouchi jerked at the voice, jolting away from the cold touch on his bare shoulders. He growled upon seeing him.

"Shut the fuck up you bastard! This is all your fault! Your fault my wrists are even bleeding in the first place! Your fault my lips all swollen too!" Jounouchi screamed, his eyes blazing in fury. Seto smirked.

"Idiot. If you haven't figured out why I did it yet...I shouldn't even bother to tell you at all." Seto said, eyes cold and unyielding.

"You did it because you're a hentai bastard and can't stand the fact that I hate you!" Jounouchi yelled. Seto winced at Jounouchi's harsh words.

"I did it to save your body! I had to do something! I couldn't just stand by and let him rape you with that blonde slut laughing!" Seto bellowed.

"Liar." Jounouchi said sternly. He was positive Seto had only done it for his own pleasure. "You are a liar. All you wanted to prove was that you are in control! All you care about if your own sexual gain! You are no better than they are! Save my body, phsh! Save my body for yourself maybe!" Jounouchi screamed, standing upright, glaring at Seto's shaking form. Shaking with anger.

"That's not true! Don't you understand!? I had only seconds to thing of a plan! I'm sorry that was the only thing I could think of...But it would have been a lot worse...If I hadn't gotten there when I did, he could have already gone through with it...I couldn't, wouldn't stand for it. I saved you the only way I knew would work..." Seto said. Jounouchi growled.

"I can't believe you. I wan to...but I cant...I wont. Not after all the lies you've said to me in the past...not with the way you've deceived me...time and time again..."

"I'm saying the truth...Just like you had been about...you and Otogi not dating...I didn't believe you then...but I've known for quite some time...I'm...so sorry, Jounouchi." Seto murmured, averting his eyes from the blond's soulful stare. He turned on his heel, facing Anzu once before he continued walking.

"I'm going for a walk...I'll be back later." He said, only loud enough for her to hear.

Seto walked down the street to the park. It was empty. Not even small children with their parents graced this area. It was lonely and desolate. The icy wind whipped at him, his trench coat flapping wildly in the current. His eyes hardened as he reached into the hidden pocket on he inside of his trench. He took out a pack of cigarettes, pulling one out of the carton and lighting it with his black lighter. He sighed and took a long drag off the tobacco filled stick. He blew out the steamy hot gas and sighed again. He was about to take another drag but was stopped.

"I thought you quit." A voice came out from behind him. Seto turned around idly. He eyes his former blond lover with disinterest.

"I did. Then I started again." Seto murmured, taking another lung full of pure poison. Jounouchi's eyes narrowed and he walked straight up to the stoic CEO. He shivered lightly, he was only wearing a tank top and light flannel pants. Jounouchi reached up and took the half gone burning stick from his attacker's mouth. He tossed it to he ground and put it out with his shoe. He glared up at the icy eyes prince of his dream, his eyes never wavering.

"I told you I don't like to taste that when I kiss you." He said. Seto turned away and glared at the ground.

"Yeah right, it doesn't matter now...When would you ever want to kiss m—" Seto was cut off as Jounouchi leaned up and kissed him fully on the lips. His hand went behind said brunette's head, fingers lacing in his slightly long hair. Jounouchi tilted his head against Seto's to gain a better angle as he pulled Seto's bottom lip in between his teeth and bit down. Seto cried out at the incision, although muffled by Jounouchi's mouth. The first cut Seto had made on Jounouchi's lip wasn't deep so the blond did the exact same to Seto. Blood dripped from the small scratch he had made. As Seto's bite had been cold and painful...Jou's was the most exhilarating thing Seto had ever felt...Jounouchi left Seto's lip and licked the thick liquid from his chin, leading the trail back up to those lusciously bloody lips. He lapped at them, hearing and feeling Seto's quick intake of air at the action.

"Now we're even, ne?" the blond boy asked. Seto stared at him blankly, emotions lying on every shadow in his breathtaking cerulean eyes. Jounouchi smiled and pressed forward, claiming Seto's lips for his own. The blond gently swiped at Seto's injured lip with his warm tongue. The brunette gasped at the sensation it left against the bites. Seto lightly tilted his head, bringing his own tongue out to join Jouno's, wrapping around the moist muscle teasingly.

"Mm..." Jounouchi moaned as he pushed his hands against Seto's chest, feeling his hard chest muscles beneath soft skin. Seto groaned and dropped the carton and lighter, forgotten on the ground. He wound his arms tightly around Jounouchi's waist, pressing their bodies as close as they could go. Seto's kiss slowly became harder, more passionate as Jounouchi's hands went farther into his shirt. Jounouchi smirked lightly against Set's mouth, noticing the small change. He dove his hands tighter and hotter against Seto's chest, trying to get them under the silky material of his shirt. Seto's heartbeat raced as he reached out to touch the blond, after all these years...finally...he could touch him...

Jounouchi was getting impatient...and fast. He took two end of the middle of Seto's shirt and ripped it apart, buttons popping and flying in every direction. He smirked and rubbed his hands against Seto's bare stomach and chest. The brunette shuddered and pulled him closer, kissing him much harder than before. He took the blond's breath away. He gently pulled back, looking deep into twin pools of shimmering sapphire.

"Seto..." he let in a shuddering breath and leaned his head against Seto's shoulder. "Seto...don't tease me...please don tease me...Tell me the truth..." the younger boy whispered lightly. Seto hugged him tight.

"I'm so sorry...I didn't want to hurt you...I'm sorry I didn't try harder...t-to save you...you, not just your body. Jounouchi...I love you so much...Never stopped...I've never stopped loving you...and I never will." Seto vowed. The depth his voice went into struck Jounouchi deep. Tears welled in his eyes as he looked up at Seto, gazing longingly into his eyes. Tears continued to well in his eyes until they fell beyond the borders, his eyebrows twitching lightly as they did so. Seto's eyes were open. Completely open to his soul. He wanted Jounouchi to see it all. He needed Jounouchi to see it all. But the silence from said boy was killing him. Seto reached up to wipe the tears from his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Jounouchi...I don't mean to burden you." He said, cerulean eyes becoming slightly dark. Jounouchi shook his head, bringing him close and hugging him as tight as he could, never wanting to let go.

"Seto...I love you too...Love you so much..."

"Katsuya..." Seto whispered, holding Jounouchi close.

"Yes...Katsuya again...your Katsuya..." he murmured. Seto sighed contentedly and laid his head atop unruly blond hair.

"My Katsuya...forever mine...as I am forever yours..." he whispered. The intensity was too deep and thick to be spoken loudly. Words so tender, thought to break if said too loud.

"My Seto...the real Seto...Forever...I like the sound of that...Aishiteru...Seto..." Jou murmured. Seto pulled back and gazed into his lover's honey amber eyes.

"Aishiteru...itsumo..." he said, leaning forward to claim Jounouchi's lips in the most passionate of all kisses. Jounouchi moaned at the emotion unhidden, untainted clearly spreading throughout their bodies. Jounouchi's hands caressed Seto's shoulders lovingly as his bandaged wrists rubbed up against the brunette's neck. Seto's tongue snaked out to lap at Jounouchi's bruised bottom lip gently, coaxing a moan and welcomed entrance from the blond. Seto took the invite and probed his lover's mouth thoroughly. Their tongues meshing together in a lovingly sacred movement long since forgotten by both teens. Seto moaned as Jounouchi flicked his tongue against the underside of Seto's, teasingly. Before long, both of their bodies were screaming for the air they gave up in exchange for such a passionate experience. Seto reluctantly released the blond's mouth and breathed deeply, as did Jounouchi.

"Katsuya..." Seto moaned lightly. Jounouchi panted harder, fighting for his vocal cord to work.

"I...remember when we used to kiss like that..." he stated absentmindedly. Seto smiled.

"Me too." He murmured, running his hands across his love's backside. "Remembering isn't half as good as actually doing it though..." Seto said, leaning forward a little.

"I agree..." Jounouchi breathed as he met Seto's lips for another heated kiss. Seto started the kiss gently but soon it became harsh and needy, almost desperate for the passion both had once shared long ago, each teen battling for dominance. Seto reluctantly gave in, if so only to feel Jounouchi's warm tongue in his mouth again after so long. Jounouchi had always been such a talented kisser. Talented enough even to make the stoic CEO blush, even if it was only just slightly. The things he did with that tongue...

Jounouchi broke away slowly, noticing as Seto became so caught up in his kiss. He smiled; pleased he still had that affect on the brunette.

"We should be getting back to the hotel." He murmured, reaching for Seto's hand, which had settled at his waist during the kiss. Seto nodded.

"Yes...I told Anzu I would be back soon..." he said. Jounouchi nodded, knowing neither of them really wanted to leave. He led him back by the hand, blushing when Seto's squeezed his lightly. Hey stepped into the hotel and walked back to the party room.

"WAI!" Anzu screeched upon seeing them. She clasped her hands together at her breasts and her eyes got big and sparkly. "We got pictures! You two are so kawaii!" she said. Jounouchi blushed lightly and cocked his head to the side.

"Pictures?" the blond asked. Anzu grabbed a picture and showed it to them. It was a picture of the two of them kissing just s few minutes ago. Apparently, Anzu got a Polaroid camera for her birthday. Jounouchi blushed again.

"Stalkers." Seto murmured.

"How could I resist!? You are so cute together!" Anzu cried. Jounouchi grinned bashfully.

"Thanks...I guess...Mou, Anzu...I'm sorry you party was ruined..."

"It was ruined, Jouno! It was the best party I could ever hope for! Excluding what happened between you and Otogi though, you know...Everyone finding love...Who'd'a thunk it!"

"Or restarting a relationship..." Jounouchi whispered, shyly looking up at Seto. The brunette smiled and squeezed Jounouchi's hand, which was still clasped with his. Jounouchi gazed up at Seto, his affection clearly unabashed. Anzu smiled.

"Thank you everyone, for coming." She said.

"Aw...the party's over already?" Bakura whined.

"Sadly yes...There really isn't anything else to do. So, thank you for coming!" she said happily. Seto wiped out his cell phone and called for his driver.

"Tanjoubi 'Medetou Anzu-chan. Hope it was as good as you wanted." Jounouchi said. Anzu nodded.

"Yes it was, thank you." She said. Everyone filed out, thanking her and wishing her a happy birthday. Seto walked to the door and Jounouchi followed, linking their hands again. There was no need for questions or answers. No need for words even, as the brunette led the blond to the awaiting limo.
