Chapter 8
The search was not going so well because no one seemed to be showing up at all. They were all still hiding from Kaiba because of the stunt he pulled earlier in the day. Kaiba didn't mean to lose his cool. It was just that so many of Yugi's friends were provoking him and jeering at him that he had lost it. He had to admit though that slapping Tea in the face felt pretty good, but he was not proud of himself at all that he made Shizuka or Serenity run away and cry especially when he had a huge crush on her, but he also had some feelings for Yami and Joey too. He did not want to even think that he was by for his heart told him otherwise. How would Yugi and his friends accept that and most importantly how would Mokuba see his big role model as? It was better to keep this secret to himself for if anyone found out then who knows what he would do. He might fly off the handle and be stereotyped as an insane psycho. That was the last thing he needed.
Kaiba's pov:
"What is wrong with me? I have these strong feelings for both Joey and Yami and even Serenity. I must be losing my mind. I must be the biggest playboy imaginable. How am I going to pull this off? Should I just confess to each of them that I love them and that they will have to share me with the others? No! That's crazy talk! Who would do something like that? It's not normal yet in a way ever since I found about my ancient past I haven't been normal since. My head is starting to hurt. Haven't those morons found the others yet so I can clear my name and go home already and forget this whole nightmare? I must of done something horrible in my ancient past to upset who ever gave me this hell that I call life. Oh no! Now I'm starting to believe in destiny. I know it's the truth, but I can still deny it right. Oh god! Yami is starring at me like I've got two heads or something like that. No wait! He could be reading my mind like he did before? That means he knows about my love for him and Joey and Serenity and he'll probably share the news with his Yugi who will tell his geeky friends because he has a huge mouth. I am so screwed! Relax! Calm down Kaiba. You're being hysterical. Just act calm and cool as a cucumber and no one will ever know the difference."
"Kaiba, I know about your little secret and I'm not disgusted at all. I think it's cool to have more then one lover. Why back in my time, I had a bunch of servant girls to give me pleasure and also I had your ancient self, High Priest Seth, give me all the attention in the world. Ra I miss him. He was like a dream come true. Maybe he is here, um besides you being the reincarnated form of my sexy high priest who was even my cousin." Yami blurted out happily not knowing that Kaiba was feeling uneasy about the part where he mentioned that his high priest and him were cousins.
"That's nice to hear Yugioh," Kaiba muttered under his breath.
"I bet he is here watching us at this very spot. Who knows; maybe you and him can be lovers? I'm lovers with my Yugi."
"I'll just pretend that I didn't hear that. Yugioh must have been thrashed too much from the other yamis. They must of did a number on his brain because he sure is not thinking at all." Kaiba thought as he watched Yugi and Joey run up ahead and around the bend.
"How come you're not taking? Do I disgust you? Don't make me read your mind Kaiba," Yami closed his eyes in order to scare the taller teen.
"Why do yamis like to read minds? Ever heard of private thoughts and privacy?" Kaiba quickened his pace so he could be away from the evil spirit who always intruded into his mind.
"Yeah, but you're to much fun. I like to anger you. I find it attractive. Ooops!" Yami blushed and turned away from the arrogant stubborn youth.
"You love me? I thought you couldn't stand me though."
"That's what I love about you. You're so cool and collected and when I saw you smack Tea I knew you were perfect for me." Yami rubbed his arm feeling embarrassed while the breeze eased his wounds with its cool gentle breath.
"Don't tell anyone this, but I love you too. I've admired you from the start. No one else would ever stand up to me in a mature manner, but you were able to take that step." Kaiba looked in all directions before he snuck a kiss to his beloved.
"You also like Joey and his sister. Are you going to tell them about us?" Yami brushed the brunette locks away from his eyes so he could gaze into them.
"I would rather not, but I have a feeling that I will not have a choice in the matter. The big question is how am I going to explain this to Mokuba? He 's to young to understand." Kaiba gazed at the ground after he bundled his coat closer to his neck due to the cool breeze that was nipping at his neck.
"We'll think of something. I still have to tell my Yugi and that is not going to be easy. He's so attached to me already and if I were to tell him about you I don't know how he would react.
"We have to confess sooner or later or we'll be living a lie. If our loves really do love us then they should accept our decisions. As long as no one else finds out like the other two killers and your cronies then we should be fine," Kaiba snuck another kiss just before Joey bounded towards them like a dog waiting all day for his master to step through the door and give him the needed attention he deserved.
"Heys guys! You wouldn't believe what Yuge and I found. There is someone who is trapped in a glowing net. You should take a look. Come on. I'll show you the way."
"Wait Joey, Yami stopped him "Where is Yugi?"
"Oh he stayed with what ever that thing is. It looks human though. I can't really tell because it is all wrapped up in the net and because it is dark."
"Lead the way Wheeler," Kaiba followed in pursuit of Yami and Joey.
Yugi was at the moment poking the thing with a stick and the other guys and girls who had spotted Yugi from a distance; did their own things. Serenity couldn't help but to feel sorry for what ever the thing was because she had such a huge heart for anything that was helpless. Mai wouldn't go near the net because in her mind it was a wild filthy animal probably with rabies. Tea was one of the ones to poke the mysterious form in the ribs and the result was that it swung back the net and hit her in the face. Bakura tried to think of what it could be, but soon he began to wonder where his yami was. The same thought came into Malik's mind, but he was to busy having fun by throwing small pebbles at it along with Mokuba who had climbed up on the net to use as a swing. Rishid and Isis both looked at Duke who paid no attention to the others for he was flicking his dice at it not caring at all if it hit the shadow in the face.
"I wonder what this thing is? Maybe I should stop poking it. It looks like it's getting angry." Yugi backed away from the net.
"I already stopped because that thing smacked me," Tea moaned touching her face.
"I think this is fun. It's like a tire swing," Mokuba giggled.
"I think you should get off what ever that is before you get bit. We wouldn't want Kaiba to have another one of his fits would we," Mai scolded Mokuba and swung her hair over her shoulder.
"Mai, Serenity came to Kaiba's defense, "He didn't mean to do that. You guys were really mean to him."
"Speak for yourself dearie. I know you have a crush on him which is why you're defending him." Mai blurted without thinking.
"You like Kaiba! Tea gasped. Uhhhh you have no taste. He's a stubborn asshole. He may be appealing well his features, but his personality sucks."
"Tea, Isis turned towards her, "You had no right to criticize who Serenity likes. That's none of your business."
"It's okay Isis. I'll just ignore what she says or thinks about Kaiba."
"Yeah you do that. I like throwing dice at this thing. It looks like it's getting even more cheesed off," Duke hurled another die in the center of the net.
"Hey man. Has anyone seen Joey? I've been looking for him all day. Last time I saw him he was with Kaiba. What is this thing anyway?" Tristan kicked the net and almost got his leg caught in the netting.
" Oh I forgot to tell you that Joey is with my yami and Kaiba and that they are on their way over here right now so maybe you should leave the poor creature alone." Yugi sat on the ground with his legs crossed.
"No way! This is too much fun!" Duke and Malik said together.
Within half an hour Yami, Joey and Kaiba arrived completely exhausted from running in the cool night where the cold air burned their lungs. Yami was not happy at all to see some of his friends torturing the captive prisoner within the net and Kaiba was not too pleased to discover Mokuba swinging from the net.
"Mokuba! Get down from that net. I don't want you to fall off and break your leg," Kaiba stomped towards Mokuba and lifted him from the net and onto the ground.
"I was having so much fun big brother. I'm glad that you're all right," Mokuba hugged his older brother hoping to receive the same treatment.
"Why would you guys do something so childish? Poor thing." Yami ran up to the net and removed the dice and stones from within.
"Let's see what it is. Here Yugioh. I'll cut the net open with my pocket knife," Joey ran up to the net and tried to cut the rope.
"Joey, didn't you notice the net is glowing? Your knife can't cut through magic. Allow me to break the curse or spell with my puzzle," Yami's puzzle started to glow.
"Must you always rely on magic? Let me take a look," Kaiba touched the net and for no reason at all he froze as if he knew what was in this net and they shared something together.
"The glow is starting to dim. The net is free to cut now Joey," Yami told the sandy haired blonde who started to saw away at the tough ropes.
Out from the net emerged a tall figure that was badly mistreated, but had the most beautiful eyes Yami and Kaiba had ever seen. His brown locks were concealed within his blue and golden headdress and in his hand was the millennium rod.
"Seth!" Yami ran to him and untied him from all of the ropes before falling on him and covering him with kisses. "I missed you so much!" I'm glad you're back! What happened to you?"
"I was ambushed my Pharaoh. I had just appeared out of the rod to search for you when I was captured and put in that net. You would think I would have seen that coming? I must be losing my touch," he walked out of the ropes and closer to Kaiba who was dumbfounded in the least.
"Do I know you because you look just like me except with a golden tan and different clothes?" Kaiba walked around him searching for any other trace of himself.
"Kaiba, this is High Priest Seto or Seth I like to call him. He's my ancient love," Yami couldn't stop hugging and kissing him.
"Hello descendent or should I say hiraki." Seth smirked and walked towards Yugi's friends who had their mouths open for they had angered this ancient spirit who was going to hurt the ones who had caused him such grief and torture.
Little did they know that two killers who were watching from afar were the ones who had captured the high priest in order to lure everyone especially the Pharaoh within their grasp.
A nice turn of events. How will Kaiba react now that he was called a hiraki? What will Seth do to the ones who bothered him while he was in the net? Will Yugioh love both of the Setos and what plan do Yami Bakura and Yami Malik have up their sleeves? I guess you'll just have to find out later. More reviews the faster the chapters will come.
