Rave: it's the time everyone loves..it's...FICCY TIME!! And in THIS chapt-

Faith: DON'T GIVE IT AWAY!! .

Rave: They always scroll down past our intro to the story, y'know.

Faith: (blinks) are people really that heartless? (whimpers) they have no idea how much work goes into the disclaimers! It's so hard to say you don't own YGO when you really REALLY wish you did, and don't wanna admit it! sigh I'd die happy if I owned Jou.

Jou: why does everyone wanna own me?

Rave: Because we secretly want to put a leash on you, and leave you tied to Seto's doorstep.

Jou. O.O Why must you DO this!

Faith: Just to see what happens. giggles

Seto: I'd know what to do with a helpless puppy left on my property.

Jou: This is your last chance to let me go so I can say the disclaimer for you.

Rave and Faith: (ponder) granted.

Jou: Rave and her hikari don't own YGO, Seto doesn't own me, and that's how I'd like it to stay.

Seto: don't think you're off the hook just yet, dog.

Rave: thanks! (puts leash around Jou's neck, and hands end of leash to Seto)

Jou: T.T

Chapter Two: Malik's Here...

"Oh sick!" Yami says aloud, hitting his head against his hand. He opens his eyes to see Yuugi looking down at him, standing up. Yami himself is lying down on the floor. Yuugi's eyes widen.

"What happened? you passed out!" he says quickly. The water droplets on his face glisten in the light, and his face appears to be tan compared to it's normal pale colour.

Yami takes a deep breath, and squeezes the smaller boy's hand. He gets up suddenly, and unlatches the door. Instead of a blood splattered hallway, there is no sign of Anzu at all. Breathing a deep sigh of relief, the spirit closes the door, and as an afterthought, latches it again.

"Anzu left when I said you went unconscious, and I got her to go away." Yuugi says quietly. "but you look sick. What's wrong?"

Yami goes back to the bed, and sits down.

"Nothing, aibou. Just tired." He says, struggling to lie down slowly due to an enormous headache. Yuugi helps him lie down with one hand on Yami's back. He manages a small smile, and rubs his shoulder. After he has gotten comfortable, he rests his head on a pillow and closes his eyes. He feels the weight of Yuugi's body climbing up beside him. Yuugi bends over Yami's face, slightly worried. Yami opens his eyes slowly and says

"Don't worry about me, Yuugi. I just need a while." Yuugi nods, and leans closer. A small flicker of a grin plays across his lips.

"I'll lie with you then." Yami nods, not wanting to move an inch. Yuugi rests his head on Yami's chest, looking up at him. "So what happened after you hit the floor? You kept yelling my name...were you.." A mischievious grin crosses his face. "Thinking about the time we cut class and used the pool for, um, "extracurricular activities"? Yuugi's face flushes a light pink. Yami remembers the event, and winks.

"Were that the case, I wouldn't have wanted to wake up, now would I?"
Yuugi nods shyly, and says

"Since you're awake now, and if you're not too tired..we could.." he trails off, but Yami is quick to catch onto his aibou's meaning. Yuugi continues, "But right now, you should relax. It's not worth it when you're not at your best." Yami closes his eyes, and exhales deeply.
"Maybe you're right."

When the Pharaoh says nothing more, Yuugi puts his arms around Yami's shoulders and pulls himself closer so he is laying on top of him. Yami puts his arms over the boy's back, and relaxes. As Yuugi starts drifting off, Yami finds himself wide awake with anxiety. Flashes of Yuugi's violent outburst create a growing, sick feeling in the Pharaoh's stomach, which he tries to ignore in effort to not disturb the sleeping boy on his chest.
Blood splattering everywhere; on the floor, the walls- Yuugi was completely covered in Anzu's blood, and grinning. The grin was what make his insides wrench. That sadistic grin of a hunter bent over his prey didn't belong on Yuugi's innocent face. It didn't make any sense.

So why had he seen that in his head? Had he wished it to happen? Yami looks down at his hikari lovingly, running a hand through his hair. A sleeping angel, Yami thinks to himself.

At the Kaiba Mansion

Long, pale fingers grasp desperately at bleach blonde hair; intertwining themselves in it. Soft lips find ginger skin, playfully nipping at an earlobe. Sapphire eyes sparkle in ecstacy as the climax begins. Arching his back, he lets out a groan of pleasure. There is soft murmuring and more kissing as the ###### ends moments later.

"Koi, if you make me scream like that again, I'll definitely go insane." The brunet speaks, cuddling close to the warm body curled up behind him. The egyptian nuzzles his head against Seto's neck, tenderly kissing the soft flesh.

"I love driving you crazy, Seto." Marik whispers into his lover's ear. "It's a real turn-on."
Seto smirks into the pillow.
"You know I'm the only person who has that effect on you." He says teasingly. "You may fancy yourself a top, but I can flip you over."
Marik's lilac eyes shine with amusement.

"And would you like to prove that point, as you have done before?" He asks seductively. Seto only sighs, and turns around, giving Marik a penetrating (AN: heh..pun intended) gaze. As he leans toward him, the phone rings.

"Inopportunity can kiss my ass!" Seto yells, trying to untangle himself from the sheets. Marik only chuckles as the brunet staggers naked across the bedroom to get to the phone. "What is it?" Seto snaps. Though he is angry, he still manages to sound professionally so.

"Seto!" it is his brother's voice. The CEO calms down a bit.

"What is it, Mokuba? I'm in the middle of some important business right now." He looks back at Marik, who has gotten the notion that their "business" might be put on hold and has pulled his pants back on.

"Malik's been looking for you all morning, and he's gotten past security."

"Damnit!" Seto swore, "I know what he's after too. I'll have to go down and take care of this." He hangs up.

"Don't tell me it's.." Marik starts. A tight expression shadows Seto's face. "You'd better leave, or there's gonna be more problems than just security breaches."

A fully-clothed Marik gets up, and after a brief look at the pissed-off CEO, leaves the room.

After getting dressed, Seto exits the bedroom into the hall. As he walks towards the stairs, he scowls in annoyance. Malik had been jealous when Marik left him for Kaiba Corp's CEO, and ever since, had been demanding to know his hikari's whereabouts. This was the first time Malik had come to see him in person.

"This should be good." Seto mutters under his breath as he comes face-to-face with the person he wants to see the least at the moment.

Rave: I like flames. Sometimes they're too hot for me though! That's why I enlist Bakura to banish them to the Shadow Realm for me.
Bakura: slave labour..that's what this is.
Faith: go ahead and flame us! We'll laugh, and Baku-san will still have his job.
Bakura: fools..(stabs model flame with knife)
