This is a Seto and Joey fic, so it will cotain yaoi.

I've decided to let Seto and Joey "relax" in this chapter, since I made them suffer pretty badly in the last ones! Yes, they deserve some happiness!

Chapter Four: Lovers' Reunited.

Normal P.O.V

Fresh from a shower, Seto walked out of the bathroom, that was connected to the small motel room, in which they were currently staying at. Walking over to the bed, the brunette flopped down next to his Lover, who was sleeping peacefully.

When Seto had come back to the car, after grabbing Joey's things, from the apartment, he had found his puppy, curled up, fast asleep, in the back seat. Seto had immeadiately driven to the nearest hospital, to get Joey fixed up. The blonde had required stitches on his cheek, but overall, he was okay......well, apart from the bruises and a few minor cuts, here and there. Seto had blamed Joey's injuries on a "fight" when they had been questioned, about the blonde's damage.

After Joey had been fixed up, Seto had driven around town, looking for someplace to spend a few days, while they figured out, what they would do next and where they would go. Seto had delibrately choosen a motel, on the outskirts of Domino City, where the area was more "wooded". The motel was surrounded by tall trees and bushes, which would make them less likely to be found, in case anybody happened to be looking for them.

Was anybody looking for them? Would Gozuburo, go out of his way to look for them? True, he's away on a week long buisness trip, but what would happen once he returned and found out that his adopted son had....gone? What about Joey's Father, would he be looking for them? And what were he and Joey to do, if they were ever found?

Seto's thought's were interuppted, when his golden haired Puppy, stirred, mumbling something incoherent. Seto kissed Joey's cheek sweetly, and put his arms around the blonde's waist, bringing his Puppy closer to his body. Joey stopped mumbling and was sleeping peacefully again, within minutes. Seto smiled, he was always amused by Joey's actions, while his Lover was asleep.

Seto's P.O.V

I cuddle up to my Love, bringing him closer, so that now, his blonde head is resting on my chest. It feels really good, having him so close to me, listening to him snoring gently, and of course, feeling his precious heart beat, close to mine.

(If I give up on you, I give up on me, if we fight what's true, will we ever be)

We are connected, by our Love. I am a part of you, as you are a part of me. We are bound together by a force so strong, a force so powerful, it cannot be destroyed. If I give up on you, then I'd be giving up on myself, I'd be giving up on our Love. And if we try to fight the Love that we share, what will be come of us? How would we be able to go on, knowing that we had turned our backs, on something so good? Something so pure?

(Even God himself, and the faith I knew, shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you)

I know that, in this religon, us being together, is frowned upon. My faith, my beliefs, shouldn't hold me back, though. Im willing to turn my back on everything, that I have known. No, nothing shall keep us apart. I feel as though, we don't need the approval, of all those people, who claim to be religous and holy. I feel as if, God is smiling down on us, in his own way. If not, then how did we get together? We are blessed, by divine powers, by eternal magic, we are meant to be. Im sure it's written across the glittering stars, high up in the Heavens above.

(Tease me, by holding out your hand, then leave me, or take me as I am)

When I look at you, Im filled with such Love, that it nearly consumes me. Oh, by Ra, how warm you are, how soft you feel, against me. It's so hard, having you so close, and not being able to touch you and kiss you. No, I must let you rest. You've had such a hard time. You surely must be a creature of God, an angel, a messenger from the Heavens. Yes, you saved me from myself. You took me, for who I was. You looked at me, and saw my heart, my soul. You saw the good inside of me. I was falling and you saved me.

(And live our lives, stigmatized)

Who cares, if people turn their backs on us? We don't need them, or anybody else. We've got each other and that's more then enough. Im proud of who I am, and Im proud that you're mine, Puppy. Yes, so proud. This stigma, that we share, it isn't a curse, no, I will wear it with pride, if it means, showing off my Love for you, to the entire world.

(I can feel the blood, rushing through my veins, when I hear your voice, driving me insane)

I remember that night, when you were dragged away from me, by your Father. I was heartbroken, I missed you so much. I felt so isolated. And do you know what I did, my Pup? I imagined, that you were still with me. I kept re- playing the words, that you had said to me, when we had made Love, the night before. "Seto, don't ever leave me, I love you. I love you." Those sweet words. Yes, I can still remember the way you had said them. So softly, so tenderly. I remember the way, your beautiful eyes had sparkled, in the dancing flames of the candles, beside us. I kept re-playing those exact words in my head, until....until I could almost hear them out loud. The room, seemed alive, with your voice, with your spirit. I kept hearing your sweet voice, chanting. Oh, such a beautiful sound, and I swear, it nearly drove me crazy with Love and such longing.

(Hour after hour, day after day, every lonely night, that I sit and pray)

And on that same night, praying was something else I did. Oh course, I prayed, after your soft voice had stopped haunting me. Yes, it was such a cold, lonely night. I emptied my soul to Ra, asking the almighty God, for his protection and guide.

(We live our lives on different sides, but we keep together, you and I )

Yes, our lives had always been on different sides....until that fateful day, when you spent the night over at the Kaiba Mansion. I had always Loved you. But it was on that night that we began our journey together. A journey of Love. A journey of truth and commitment. We are tied to each other, you and I, by the blessings of divine beings, of such unconditional Love.

(Just live our lives, stigmatized)

We have built a castle of Love, a forbidden union. Don't they know? Don't they understand, that rhyme and reason, fly out the window, when such a Love is present? Let them stare, let them judge. I will protect you, my Love. We shall become one.

(We live our lives, we'll take the punches every day, we'll live our lives, I know we're gonna find a way)

Don't concern yourself, Puppy. I'll deal with this burden, for the both of us, for now. We will get away, though, Love. Don't you worry. We'll find a way to live. We'll find a way, to be free. We'll find a secret place for ourselves. A place where our Love can grow, our souls can search, our hearts can mend, and where our spirits can soar. We will find a way.

(I believe in you, even if no one understands)

I've opened up my heart to you. A heart that had been kept closed, for so long. You know all my hopes, dreams and secrets. You figured it out, just by Loving me. And I, in turn, know yours. Other people may not understand the feelings, that we have for each other. But we do. I have never once, doubted you, my Love. I believe in you Joey.

(I believe in you and I don't really give a damn)

Yes, I believe in you, and I trust you....with all my heart. After all, what is Love, without trust and support? No, we have got it all. We have found real Love. The strongest, the purest, the most sacred kind. Im not going to let you go without a real fight. I don't give a damn about, what people say about us, or what they think. You belong to me. We belong to each other, and Im never letting you go.

I kiss my Puppy, softly on the lips. He's way too cute to resist. He sighs in his sleep and cuddles up, even closer to me. I lie there, for about half an hour, running my fingers, through his soft hair, and just enjoying our closeness, before deciding to make a call.

Normal P.O.V

Seto slipped out of bed, grabbing his cell phone, he walked back into the small bathroom, shutting the door softly behind him. He needed to make a call, and he didn't want to disturb his Lover. Not that he ever could, Seto knew, from past experiences, that Joey could just about sleep through ANYTHING!

Smiling fondly, at the memories of his Lover, Seto began to dial the number, of the Kaiba Mansion. It hadn't even been two days yet, since he had last seen Mokuba, but the brunette missed the happy go lucky boy, already. The phone was picked up, on the second ring.

"Hello, Kaiba Mansion. How may I help you?" Came a polite, female voice, probably belonging to one of the maids.

"Hi, erm, may I speak to Mokuba? Is he there?" Seto asked, somewhat nervously.

"May I ask whose calling?" The maid asked.

"I - " But before Seto could even get his sentence out, there was a disturbance on the other end of the line, which was then followed by a loud shriek.

"SETO!!!" Mokuba, nearly screamed. "Is that you?"

The brunette smiled, a little relieved, that he didn't have to talk to the maid. He didn't want just anybody finding out that he'd run away, with his Lover. At least, not just yet, anyway.

"Yeah kid, it's me. Are you okay?" Seto sighed, when he heard Mokuba go "Uh- huh" and he was just about to speak again, when Mokuba started chattering, a mile at a minute.

"Seto, are YOU okay? Is Joey okay? He's not hurt is he? Where are you anyway? Can I come and visit? Have you figured out what you're going to do?" Mokuba, more or less, babbled down the phone.

"Slow down, Mokie". Seto laughed. "Im fine, and so is Joey....he's sleeping".

"That figures". Mokuba sniggered. It was no secret to Mokuba, or to anybody else, that Joey LOVED to sleep! "Where are you, Seto"?

"We're staying at the Redway Motel. It's on the outskirts of Domino, and it's really - WAIT! You're not planning on visiting me are you?" Seto asked, very sharply. "Mokuba, it's too dangerous, you could get in a lot of - "

"No, Seto" Mokuba interuppted. He smirked mischiviously, something Seto couldn't see over the phone, before innocently adding "Im not plainning on visiting you".

Seto sighed, a little relieved, that he didn't have to convince the over excitable and oh so hyper boy, to change his mind. But the brunette had failed to notice one thing - the fact that Mokuba had emphasized, the words "Im not".

"Mokuba, I better go and check on Joey now. I will call back soon, okay?" Seto said. "I Love you".

Mokuba smiled. "Yeah bye, big bro'. I Love you too".

Seto smiled, hung up, then walked back into the bedroom. One look at his Lover, told him that Joey wasn't sleeping so peacefully anymore. The blonde was tangled up, in the thin bed sheets, trembling and moaning with a look of pain on his face. The brunette hurried over to his Lover, sitting down on the edge of the bed, he carefully picked Joey up, so that the blonde was in a sitting position. Holding the younger boy, in his gentle embrace, Seto started to rub his Puppy's back soothingly, whilst whispering in his ear, tryng to calm down the sleeping blonde.

Joey's P.O.V

I woke up, from a terrible nightmare, finding myself wrapped up, in a pair of strong, comforting arms. Seto's arms. I sigh, I had been scared. So scared. But in Seto's arms, I felt safe and protected, like nothing could ever hurt me, at least, not while Seto was holding me. I feel him running his fingers through my sweat damp hair, whispering to me, that everything's going to be alright, but no, I don't think it is.

I pull back a little, just to let him know that, Im not asleep, anymore. He stops whispering to me, and smiles, concern evident in his deep blue eyes.

"Are you okay now, Love?" He asks, his voice soft.

I shake my head. How can I be alright? I just had a terrible dream, a dream that could rip us apart. It wasn't all that clear. It was filled with dark, fuzzy images, and that's not what had scared me so much. It was the feeling I had experienced, in that dream, that had gotten my heart, in a frenzy. I had felt an overwhelming sense of heartache, such heartache. Of loss, and deep emptiness, and......death.

"Whatever it is, it will be okay. You know that I'll never let anything hurt you, Joey". Seto holds my face, gently, in both his hands, whilst gazing into my eyes, soothing my pain and distress, with their ice like beauty.

And that's what I was afraid of. Seto Loved me so much, that he'd even risk getting hurt, just to protect me. I can't let anything happen to Seto, I just can't. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

"Seto, something bad is going to happen. I had this dream, which had this awful feeling....this real strong feeling, of pain and loss." I could feel the tears behind my eyes, which were threatening to fall, at any moment.

Seto gave me a soft kiss on the lips. "It was just a dream, Puppy. Just a dream."

"No, it's happened before. That night, when we were together....that night, when we were making Love....I felt it. Yes, I felt it. I had this awful feeling, that something bad was about to happen....and the next morning, we were found by my Dad and Gozuburo. I had sensed it or something....I don't know. Im not sure how else I can explain". I can feel the tears, rolling down my cheeks now. "And when Dad dragged me back to our apartment, I had another dream, all these flashes....they were kinda like visons.Visons of us, Seto....of our end".

Seto gently brushed my tears away, and gave me another sweet kiss. "You mean like a premonition?" He asked.

"Kind of....to be honest, I don't know what it really was. It felt almost like it was a warning or something...." I let Seto place a blanket around my trembling shoulders, before continuing. "....and I've got that feeling again, Seto. In my dream....I saw death! I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want to lose you. Please Seto, you have to stop this! You have to...."

"Sshhh, Puppy, it's okay". Seto cut in, embracing me again.

I was nearly hysterical, I let him rock me, back and forth. Allowing his deep, soft voice, to slow down my racing thoughts, and my racing heart.

"Im not about to die, and I'll be damned, if I let anyone hurt you". Seto whispered in my ear. He pulled away slightly and lifted my chin up. Our lips met, in a tender kiss, which deepened, as we began to explore, each others' mouths.

Feeling my body relax, within his sweet embrace, I entwined my fingers, in his soft dark hair. He nibbled along my bottom lip, teasingly. I felt his hand slip down, a soft moan escaped my lips, as he began to rub my stomach, ever so gently.

I couldn't even remember what I was so upset about. Seto made everything go away. I believed and trusted, my Love, and if Seto said that I didn't need to worry, then I wouldn't worry. At least, not right now anyway.

Unfortunately, air became a problem and we had to break apart.

"Seriously Pup, don't worry about it. It was just a dream." Seto said, breathing heavily.

I nodded. "Whatever you say, Love. I know you'll protect me, if anything should happen....and you have to know, that I'll protect you, no matter what".

Seto smiled. "You hungry?"

"Always". I grin.

"Why don't you have a shower, whilst I get us something to eat". Seto suggested, grabbing his coat, and walking over to the door. "Is there anything, that I should be getting in particular?"

I get up, and grab one of the towels. "I could eat anything. Im sooo hungry".

Seto smirked. "I'll try and hurry, then". He blew me a kiss, before slipping out of the door.

And I was left there. Standing in the middle of a motel room, towel in one hand, and a goofy grin on my face. I turn around, and walk into the bathroom.

Normal P.O.V

Seto walked in through the door, forty-five minutes later, carrying a large pizza box, and a bag full of soda and chips, to find Joey, lazing around on the bed.

Seto's P.O.V

It was forty five minutes past noon, when I came back. I found my Puppy, sprawled across the bed, wearing nothing but a pair of jeans. And boy, did he look cute. His deep brown, chocolate coloured eyes, sparkled when he...... Damn! I should have gotten some chocolate! Maybe then, I could have melted some, and dribbled it all over Joey's stomach and chest, then I could have -

"Seto!"

I smile, a little thankful that, I wasn't able to finish that last thought, because if I had, then I most certainly would have wanted to do it.

My Puppy rushes over to me, and gives me a quick kiss, before helping me, carry the food over to the small, coffee table, which he had placed near the bed. I open the pizza box, whilst he pours the soda out. He sits oppisite me, his Love for me evident, in his beautiful eyes.

I pull him over to me, and place him in my lap, and smirk at his confused protests. With my left arm wrapped protectively around his waist, I pick up a slice of pizza, in the other hand and feed him it. Nothing's too good for my Pup.

He takes a couple of bites, before grinning up at me. "So, you're feeding me now, are you?"

I smile, placing a glass of soda near his lips. "Certainly looks that way, Pup".

He picks up another pizza slice, and feeds it to me. "Trying to be romantic?" I tease.

He grins at me, then suddenly looks very serious. "You'll never leave me, right?" He whispers, almost looking afraid.

I put the slice of pizza, in my hand down, and he does the same. "Of course not, Pup. We belong together". I tell him, holding his hand. "No matter what happens, I will never leave you."

He nods, then gives me a kiss. "So are you going to feed me, or do I have to eat by myself?"

I growl playfully, before picking up the pizza slice. "No need to concern yourself, Love. I'll feed you, after all you are my Pup".

The rest of the meal was spent, with my Puppy in my arms, who after wolfing quite alot of the food down, wasn't feeling all that well. I wasn't suprised.

I put Joey into bed, before I started clearing up the empty pizza box and soda cans. After dumping the whole lot in the trash, I went over to sit near my Lover, who was lying down, under the covers.

"I don't want to sleep". He whispered, holding out his arms for me.

The poor little thing, was probably still afraid of that nightmare he had, had before. I get in bed beside him, putting my arm around his waist, and bringing him closer to me.

"It's okay, Love. We don't have to sleep." I whisper back. I see him blush a little. He looked so cute like that. I give him a long lingering kiss, before slipping my hand further down. He was only wearing boxers now. I cupped him, ever so gently, through the thin material, and he lets out a soft moan, before smiling up at me, wanting me to continue. I place a sweet kiss on his forehead, before slipping my hand under the elasticated waistband. He captures my lips in a passionate kiss, as I take him in my hand.

I move my hand up and down his length, as I stare into his dark, flashing eyes. The eye contact is amazing, I feel like, I can see deep down, into the very depths of his soul. He moans again, as I increase the speed of my hand movements. As I let my fingers run over the tip, I start to feel him tremble. I give him one final kiss, before he comes in my hand.

I hold him in my arms and kiss his neck, nibbiling gently, while he lies there, eyes closed and breathing heavily. Once his breathing is back to normal, I place a soft kiss on his lips. "I Love you, Pup".

He smiles at me. "Love you more". He whispers back.

Before I could reply, there's a soft knock on the door. Joey looks at me fearfully. I tell him quietly, to go into the bathroom and get dressed and he does so. I cautiously walk towards the door, and try to listen for any sounds, comming from the other side. There are none.

Shit, who is it? Im not a coward. I'll deal with whoever it is. I told Joey, that I would protect him and that's exactly what Im going to do. With that in mind, I fling open, the door.

My jaw drops wide open, at the visitor standing before me. "Yugi?"
