Chapter 2

Afterthoughts

"Words" 'Thoughts' I have changed it to third and first person view as that proves far easier and much simpler for the beginner writer, i.e.: me, to write.

Hello peoples. Nice time for an update isn't it? First of all, thank you to the people who sent me reviews, even if most were from my friends. Thanks to those who gave me advice and helpful criticism, cause it really is helpful, so please, don't hesitate to give me feedback. Secondly, you must all go and read 'the young and the beautiful' by orange- lemons. She is extremely good writer and has to update soooooooon!!!!! I realise my writing might be a little off as my muse took what I thought to be a permanent vacation, and I had a hissy fit at my computer when I couldn't figure out what to write. Needless to say, when mum saw me completely tangled in computer cables and what appeared to be the rest of the computer, she was not pleased. But I think my muse felt sorry for me, and has graced my simple brain with another update. Though this took me forever, just ask my friends, I think I didn't do too badly.

Disclaimer: Do I own Yugioh or any of its characters? No. Do I wish I did? Yes. Am I mental? Obviously.

Tongues clashed together in a dance of passion as Yami and I fought for dominance over one another. I let my hands trail down Yamis now bear chest, and delighted in following my hands with my lips. A moan escaped the former Pharaohs lips, and this spurred me on as my lips met Yamis waistline. The tables then turned, and I found myself struggling for dominance beneath Yamis fierce kisses. Yamis hands had already dropped to my waist, and were still heading south. As Yamis hands brushed down in between my upper thighs, I whimpered, and Yami pressed his lips back to mine, savoring the intense look of lust and passion that filled my normally cold blue hues. For a 5000 year old out of practice Pharaoh, he was doing one hell of a job. I took in everything about Yami, the way he felt beneath me, his sounds, his smell, his taste. All of these coupled in my mind, making my head swim with an in-explainable joy that had seemed to escape my life until this moment. This one perfect moment. My hands had now dropped past Yamis waistline, and I was now stroking Yamis length fondly, causing the Pharaoh to gasp and moan. The sounds set sirens off in my brain, and I brought Yamis lips to mine with my free hand.

Yami brought his lips away from Kaibas mouth and down his neck, stopping at the collar, before he bit down on Kaibas neck. Kaiba gasped in pain before Yami once again laid his lips to his neck and kissed at the wound. Kaiba couldn't be bothered with this and drew Yamis lips to his once more. What had once been lip-bruising kisses, were now long and lingering, savoring and holding the moment they now each shared. Kaiba still held Yami in his hands, in every sense of the word, and continued to pull moans and gasps from the Game King, despite their now constant kiss.

It was then I felt a tingle at the edge of my senses. I brushed it off hurriedly, not wanting to be distracted from my current fixation. I continued my intoxication, until my senses again told me to stop. Frustrated, I quickly focused on the nerve that was driving my senses crazy, aside from the ones Yami now held in his grasp, and honed in on what my brain was trying to tell me.

'Shit! ... Mokuba!'

I brought my eyes to Yamis fiery ones. The passion we had both experienced still evident in those lustrous eyes. Yami had come to a standstill at my apparent tension, and now looked questioningly into my eyes.

"Mokuba."

Yami visibly tensed as both our eyes shot toward the door. The door that's handle was turning. 'Double shit.'

Yamis pov

'Shit.' As understanding as Yami knew Mokuba was, he didn't think the young Kaiba would quite grasp this situation. Yami drew in a deep breath and went under, making sure to go a decent depth as he didn't want his hair sticking up out of the water either. 'Crap!! Where are my clothes?' I felt around with my feet to realise they were just beneath me, my puzzle slightly to the left of me. I almost sighed in relief. I suddenly hoped that Kaiba didn't think I was immortal. Just because I had lived for 5000 years, didn't mean I couldn't die. My spirit would return to the puzzle until my next lifetime incarnation. I was indeed very mortal right now, and didn't want one of my fatalities to include drowning while trying to hide form new lovers younger sibling.

I was starting to see spots. My lungs were burning from lack of oxygen, as was the rest of my body. My head was swimming and I was starting to lose conciousness. I figured I was still dying a happy man.

Strong arms wrapped beneath my own, and I was hauled above the surface, coughing and spluttering. Strong lips found mine, and I decided that that was more appeasing than breathing, even though I was still seeing spots. Kaibas lips pulled away, and though I regretted the movement, I was thankful for a breath. I looked up into Kaibas eyes and my breath left me again. Kaiba was staring at me with such a penetrating gaze of love and warmth. It filled me with an utter sense of euphoria. Slowly regaining my composure, I looked around, remembering the cause of the pain in my lungs.

"Where's Mokuba?"

"I told him to go and get something to eat if he felt up to it."

"Oh."

That seemed all both of us were able to say, as we returned to gazing at each other.

"We'd better get out now," came my voice, though it held little conviction behind its words.

"And why is that?"

I gathered up my trademark smirk. "The moods been blown, one, and your brother is up two."

"I'm sure we could get the mood going again," came a rather lustful reply from Kaiba.

"I have no doubt, but do you really want to scar your brother for life?"

At this, Kaiba just grinned. "He'd get over it."

I grinned back, but decided that I really had to get out. Yugi was waiting for me, and I didn't need the questions I was already likely to get from my hikari intensify three fold by the fact that I wouldn't be able to walk straight, if I returned home later than now.

"No Kaiba, I have to go now."

"Call me Seto. I think it is safe to say that we can move on to first name basis."

I couldn't help but give a smirk at this.

"Ok, Seto, but I still have to go."

"Are you sure?"

Kaibas pov

As Yami was aware that he probably looked rather opposed to his own notion, he gave a nod to confirm. Yami looked as though he wanted to just jump up and pull me back in, which I wanted him to, but he restrained himself, much to my disappointment and said,

"By the way, I have no towel..."

At this I just grinned evilly.

"And I have no dry clothes."

"Ahh, that's right, I remember said clothes, they got in the way," I said with another evil grin.

At this Yami grinned too, but still kept himself where he was.

"What would you propose I return home in then?"

I grinned even more evilly now.

"What you're in now seems fine to me."

"Ha ha Seto," putting emphasis on my name, "but if you really want me too have to answer all the questions that are bound to come with the looks of horror, then by all means, show me the door."

Little smart-ass, I thought savagely, though I adored him for it.

"Ok, toss me your clothes, ill put them on a dry cycle for you."

"Thanks, but... what about my shirt?"

I had to stop and think there. He needed a clean shirt, and preferably one that wasn't in pieces.

"I'll give you one of mine."

"Thanks," came his reply, before he dove beneath the water and resurfaced holding all the possessions he'd brought with him aside from his book bag, which I could only assume was downstairs.

I climbed out, pulling on a bath robe before his eyes could wander. He tossed me his wet clothes and the scrap that was now his shirt and I headed for the door.

"Where's your room Seto?" At thought of Yami in my room and on my bed, shivers ran down my spine. "Third on the right, and watch out for Mokuba."

I turned and headed for the door, Yami and his nakedness following my thoughts extremely closely, while I wondered if he had noticed the absence of towels in the room.

Yamis pov

I watched Seto leave before I ventured out of the bath. Oh, Ra damn him. He had taken all the towels. I should have been watching him for that, Yami thought with himself. Yami scoured the bathroom, but found nothing more than a hand towel. He has done this on purpose. Well, two can play at this game. I gathered up my courage and headed for the door, well aware that I was still starkers. I poked my head out the doorway, making sure that my hair stayed behind the door while my face looked out. I breathed a sigh of relief at the empty hallway, yet continued to listen intently for any signs of life in the hall. I tiptoed my way down the hall, keeping my senses strained to the extreme, and searching out the third door of the hall. As I reached it, I nearly died of horror when I heard Mokuba coming up the stairs further ahead to my right. Holy crap! My mind screamed, and I dove through the door to Setos room, letting it snap shut behind me just as Mokuba made it up the stairs, calling out for his brother. Oh no! He's going to come straight here first!! And then what? How do I explain the fact that I am butt naked, in my greatest rivals house, and, let alone the embarrassment of the first two, I was in said rivals bedroom!!!

I dove for the other side of Setos bed, briefly wondering about the fabric of the sheets, and hid down the side. Please, Ra, keep him out there. Seems I was asking Ra for a lot these days. I listened with every fibre of my being. Everything was concentrated on the sound of the door swinging open. But it never did. I opened my eyes, not having thought I'd closed them, to realise that I was still alone in a billionaires room. Ok then, breathe, I told myself. I slowly stood, letting my eyes find themselves and then slowly work them around the room. It was beautiful, was my very first thought. Just like its owner. His sheets, which I now was able to examine with more than my eyes, were made of a fine silk, a beautiful blue in color, somewhat like their owners eyes. A large cabinet stood to one side of the room, no doubt full of all the CEOs clothes. A large bookshelf seated itself to the right of his bed, and it was crammed with books of all sorts, and to my surprise, many different languages. I'll have to ask him what languages he knows. I had attempted to learn languages other than the one needed by my hikari, but I figured with Kaiba as my teacher, I might be able to have another go. His room wasn't anything you'd really expect for a billionaire, but in another way it was perfect for the CEO.

My whole body quivered and I shot toward the floor as I heard the turning of the door knob.

Kaibas pov

I opened my door and stepped into my room. My first thought was that Yami had indeed decided to walk home. That was until I noticed the tri colored spiky hair sticking up from beside my bed. 'Oh, he's a master of disguise too.'

"Yami, you know it's a good thing I'm not Mokuba, as you really need to work on your disguises."

Yami peaked his head up over the side of my bed and gave me a sheepish look. He looked really cute like that. He stayed crouched where he was.

"What? Is it that cold out tonight?"

Yami blushed, much to my delight, as the red he went matched his eyes very well.

"Bastard. Clothes please."

I smirked, "And what if I don't want to give them to you?"

"Kaiba."

I smirked, but tossed him his leather butt case.

"Shirt?"

I spun round and headed for my closet. As I got there, I flung open the doors and began rifling through the shirts, hoping not only for something to suit but also fit Yami.

"You don't have many clothes for someone who could buy his own mall."

I turned with a shirt in my hands to see Yami had already managed to get his pants on. Damn him.

"Well, I don't go out that often, and I'm not that big a shopper, so I see no need to have fancy clothes. If you think I do need some new clothes however, I'd be happy for you to come along as you seem to have fine taste in clothing," I said, emphasising by letting my eyes wonder over his well framed ass in the tight leather.

"I'll consider it," he said with a smirk, "shirt?"

I tossed the shirt at him, and he caught and swung it round his shoulders instantly, pulling it on and buttoning it up. The shirt looked good on him. It was a black button up, suede top, and he wore it much better than I did.

"Thanks Kaiba."

"Seto, and its no problem, any more."

"Seto?"

The call resounded through the walls to my ears, and I sighed at Mokubas timing.

"Give me five minutes."

Yami said nor did anything, as I headed for the door, then down the stairs to my brother.

By the time I got back, Yami had left.

Yamis pov

'Ra, Ra, Ra, Ra, Ra.' I thanked every deity I had ever heard of, as my mind recalled every single trait and aspect of the gorgeous CEO. His eyes, his taste, the way he felt beneath me, how soft his hands were against my skin. All of these things fought their way through my brain and clogged every system of thought I had open, leaving me barely able to walk.

I was rather surprised to find myself outside the turtle game shop in under 15 minutes. I pushed open the door and heard the distinct sound of Yugis voice calling out to me.

"Sorry, we're closed."

By the sound of him, he was cooking, and he wasn't enjoying it.

"Well I can go if you want?" I called back to him, aware that he would no doubt come out and whack me for being late, not that he'd put much force behind it, he was far to innocent and forgiving for that.

"YAMI! Where have you been?!" A rather frustrated looking Yugi came out wearing and apron and half of what he was cooking in his lap. I couldn't hold back the giggle.

"What?! Well?"

"Sorry Yugi," I said trough my mirth, "Kaiba needed a favor."

Yugi looked thoughtful.

"Favor? How was he?"

I choked. Coughing, I watched Yugi watch me.

"Sorry. He was fine."

"Oh, just fine? Not..." he paused for a thought, "huge?"

This time, my mouth dropped. Yugi stood and stared at me with a rather comical look on his face.

"Sorry Yugi," I said, regaining my composure, "but what do you mean?"

Yugi gave me a look that plainly said, 'I'm not an idiot.'

"Let me see, one, you like Seto Kaiba."

I tried to visually deny it with a look of anger, but I figured I was failing pitifully.

"Two, you are the most happy I have ever seem you lately, three, you are really late, so, what gives?"

I looked at Yugi in a new light right now, he wasn't as innocent as he looked, but still, I wasn't about to give up.

"I'm sorry I'm late Yugi, but Kaiba asked me to watch Mokuba cause he's sick. Kaiba had to run out and get his antibiotics."

I stood there silently, waiting for Yugi to believe me. Hey, it was the truth, just not all of it. After a few moments of heart clenching silence, Yugi nodded and headed back to the kitchen. I sighed and followed him when he stopped and turned slightly.

"Four, that's not your shirt."

Kaibas pov

I yawned. What was the time? I stretched over to look at where my alarm sat. Hmm. It read eight. I want to go to school today, I realised. That was why my internal alarm clock had jolted me awake. Even though my dream had been one for the better, and the collection of most memorable, I was glad I had gotten up. I thought for a moment. If Mokuba needed me, I wasn't going to school today, as much as I wanted to see Yami, I wasn't about to let Mokuba down. That and I figured I could make it up to Yami. I stretched and pulled myself out of bed. I gingerly walked over to my wardrobe – as the floor was damn cold - to get dressed when I realised I had to find out how Mokuba was first before I made my day decision. I made to head for my door, but it burst open before I could reach it, revealing a much better looking Mokuba. "Hey Seto!"

"Good morning Mokuba," I said, looking him up and down. I suddenly wondered if the pharaoh had anything to do with Mokubas increase in good health.

"How do you feel?"

"Great!! And I was wondering if you wanted to go to school today?"

I looked at him in surprise.

"You are wondering if I want to? I'll only go back when you are well, you know that."

"Yeah, but I feel better, and I don't mind staying here for the day or going to school. What do you want me to do?"

I looked him up and down. He had color back in his cheeks, and he looked fit enough to tackle teachers of the school, and considering they pamper him because of who I am, that wouldn't be too hard.

"Do you feel up to it?"

"Yes."

"Then lets go."

Twenty minutes later, we were in the limo and heading for school, and Yami, my mind added as an after thought.

I had decided to check that the teachers new Mokuba was getting over the flu, and that he wasn't to do anything physical unless he was up to it. Mokuba, at the time, was off with his friends getting reacquainted after the few days separation. The teachers all just nodded dumbly. Dumb shits, I thought in agitation. I could tell them to teach the class nude and they'd do it. I sighed and went to find Mokuba to say goodbye.

"Hey Mokuba?"

"Yeah Seto?"

"I'm leaving, will you be right for the day?"

Mokuba ran up and through his arms around my waist in a hug, then looked up and said,

"I'll be right thanks Seto, I'll see you later."

I smiled down at him, turned and headed out the door. I now had twenty minutes before school for me was to start.

I walked into the classroom as nonchalantly as possible, trying to keep myself from seeking Yami out. I didn't feel like drawing any attention to myself today. As I sat down, I glanced a look around the room to see Yami and his group in the corner by his desk. And Yamis eyes were locked on mine. My breath caught and I couldn't help but return the stare into those eyes of fire. Then I heard the mutt.

"Hey Kaiba, what ya lookin at huh?"

Great, I didn't hear Yami say release the hound. Joey was approaching me with a look on his face that clearly said, 'here I come what are you gonna do about it? And I'm a stupid mongrel.' Sorry, did I add that? Oh well, no harm in the truth.

"Wassup up wiv you huh? You should stop starin at Yami like that after he watched Mokuba for ya last night. And by the look of your neck, you went out for a good time."

I briefly realised he was referring to the love bite Yami had given me. I couldn't help it, I had to bite back, it was the principle of the thing. *(Stuff like this always happens to me and it drives me nuts!!!! It's the principle of the situation, I wouldn't carry on if it wasn't damn it!)*

"I don't think it's really any of your business mutt," I hissed at him as I stood to face him. Yami threw me a look that clearly said back down. But I couldn't, I know it and so does he, I'm stubborn and have a huge pride, among other things.

"What did you call me Kaiba?"

"Really, I didn't think you were deaf too. Considering most of the time you have the IQ of cheese, the fact that I am calling you a dog should be a compliment."

"Oh my hearin is fine, thanks Kaiba," he said, barely staying on the spot he was on.

"So why did ya have to leave Mokuba huh? Oh that's right, you just think of your self, that must be why you got the hicky on your neck," he said, making the implication clear.

At this my breath caught as Yugi gasped at Joey's insult and Yami stood. I couldn't believe I hadn't launched myself at him and had him put down. I reasoned with myself that I was actually remaining extremely calm, but I didn't think I would last like this.

"At least I have a life to live mutt. Where did you eat last night huh? What dumpster was over turned for you?"

I realised then, with some satisfaction, that I had more control than Joey as he launched himself at me. I braced myself for his attack, as his fist swung at my face. I stepped back and nimbly avoided his fist as his other one came up toward my chest. I blocked it somewhat easily until I felt his other fist connect with the side of my head as I went to duck his other blow. I knew from my training he had struck a nerve there, whether intentionally or not, and my vision went in a slight blur. Shit. I could still recognise Joey's form swinging at me and now I had to avoid it. As he swung past me I made my move and fisted him in the gut. He let out a gasp as I knocked the wind out of him and he stepped back. Good, I thought, that'll teach the mutt. Then he was heading back at me and his fist swung.

"Yami!"

Yami darted in front of Joey's fist and caught it on the side of his jaw, considering his height, and stumbled back into me. Joey looked dumbstruck, as did Yugi and the rest of the group. I however, was preoccupied with a slightly dazed looking Yami in my arms. Then he looked at me as though I was mad. I quickly dropped the King of Games from my arms onto his butt on the floor.

"What do you think you are doing?" I spat at him.

I secretly hated myself for not being able to comfort him. Joey and the rest of the group came out of there stupor and glared at me. Oh great, like I didn't need more guilt. Yami stood himself up immediately, trying to not look fazed by my sudden dropping of him and Joeys red mark left on his face.

"Sorry if you wanted that black eye Kaiba," he snarled at me, and I was shocked to see he could act so normal like that. "But I thought the argument should stop, I just didn't estimate the force of Joeys throw." And at that, he turned and headed back to his desk, leaving me standing there and glaring at everyone else but Yami.

Yamis pov

I'm so sorry Seto, my mind screamed at me. I was just heading back to my desk, a slight tilt to my step and testing my jaw when the teacher made an entrance. She looked around and took in the site of a frustrated and on his feet Kaiba with Joey who was clutching his chest and then me, who was heading away but had turned to see her, revealing my red jaw. Damn it.

"What happened here?" she said, looking at all three of us.

The crowd that had gathered around Kaiba and Joey, as well as broken by Yami, turned and headed away from the teacher. She stared at their backs briefly before beckoning Joey, Kaiba and myself out of the room.

"What happened?" she asked once we were all out in the hallway.

We all remained silent. She sighed.

"I will get to the bottom of this, in the mean time, I see that Mr. Muoto and Mr Kaiba, have apparent injuries. You will both go to the nurse and get suitable treatment."

At this, Joey looked enraged.

"You, Mr Wheeler, appear to be only winded, you will return to class."

Joey couldn't deny this, as his breathing was back to normal and there really was no reason for him to go. He turned and stalked back into the classroom. The teacher turned to them, "Off you go, and take your time," she said, looking at Seto. At this, Seto and I turned and headed off down the hall. As we turned the corner, I looked up at him and saw that his vision looked slightly off, as his footsteps were a little off from there usual confident stride.

"Are you alright Seto?"

Seto turned to look at me and we stopped where we were. I saw then his vision was indeed off as he was looking about ten centimeters to the left of my face.

"I'm fine Yami."

"Don't give me that," I said, "my face is here," I said pointing to my face.

At this he flushed, looked away, and then looked back at me and said,

"I didn't want to admit it, but the mutt caught me on a nerve ending at the back of my neck, I'm having trouble seeing at the moment."

At that, I propelled myself into him and into the wall.

"Then let me guide you," I said, planting my lips onto his and kissing him desperately.

He responded ardently as I lead him down the hall by the mouth. As I approached the nurses office I let him go, turned and opened the door and walked inside. The nurse looked up and checked me over with her eyes, noticing the mark on my jaw. Seto then pulled himself into the room and the nurse took note of his glazed over eyes.

"Sit," she said, and that was all she said.

She checked my jaw and gave me a pack of ice for it, then walked over to Seto and looked into his eyes. Seto lent back, startled that she had only just appeared. She looked at the back of his neck, and pressed her fingers lightly against his neck and he groaned. She then grabbed something out of a cupboard with a glass of water and handed it to Seto, who took the tablets from her hand and downed them, then swallowed the water too. She then placed an ice pack at the base of his neck and told him to lie back on it. Seto did as she said, lying back. She then took her leave, telling us to keep the ice on and that she would be back soon.

I looked over at Seto. He looked magnificent, lying on the bed with his eyes closed. I felt myself becoming aroused and quickly lowered the ice pack from my jaw to my lap. I didn't notice him looking at me amused by my sudden gasp of shock. Damn it was cold! I looked over at him and felt myself blush.

"Getting turned on are we?" Seto put bluntly.

"Why do you have to look so damn sexy lying down like that?"

"Guess I can't help it," he said, grinning madly.

"Oh yeah? Stop it now!" I said as I put the ice pack back on my jaw as I heard the nurse approaching.

"Mr Kaiba, how many fingers am I holding up?" she asked, standing at a decent distance. Seto looked up at her and said instantly, "three." The nurse nodded.

"Very good. The tablets are taking there toll, you may go, and take the ice packs with you."

I rose along with Seto, and we headed out together. Halfway down the hall, Seto turned and pushed me through an open door which I realised later was the bathroom He pounced in on top of me and pushed me up against the wall. I was in complete shock, for about a second.

Kaibas pov

I couldn't withstand it any longer. I turned and shoved him through the door, to what I thankfully realised later was the bathroom. I jumped in on top of him as gracefully as I could before I crushed his lips against mine. He moaned and sent me into a frenzy. I ripped at his top, taking a little more care then last time so as not to tear the top and leave any evidence, so to speak. I ran my lips across the top half of his bare chest and then proceeded to let my hands drop to his waist. He gasped and pushed them away. I pushed him harder against the wall, and murmured in to his ear.

"Don't be a tease."

I pulled back to see him grinning and he pushed my hands aside again. This time I seized his hands and pinned them above his head against the wall, leaving him little standing height as I grinded my hips to his. He let out a gasp, and I looked into his eyes to see that he was gasping not only because of me but because of something behind me that I couldn't see. I felt something slam into the side of my head, and then darkness.
