Jou looked at the man. A white silk tunic was wrapped around his thin body. Sable locks blew with the wind as he turned. Sapphire blue eyes stared at the other blond in the room before he gave a small smile.
"Jono…" The man reached out to a blond. A tan hand touched pale skin and fingered the golden locks.
"Seth, what's going on? I should be out protecting Pharaoh Yuugi. Atemu is gone, I have to protect Yuugi and Hathor like I promised him." The blond let crystalline tears spill from honey eyes.
Seth stared down at his lover and wiped the droplets away with a soft hand, "don't cry my love. We'll be together again, I promise."
The two embraced before Jono separated from Seth and took to walking out the door.
Jou shot up again. A cold sweat had appeared on his brow and he looked around. Everything was spinning. He stood up and stumbled as he went to his bedroom door.
The blond opened it and slid on his slippers before going out the front door and down the steps of the apartment building. Breath was hard to grasp as he walked. His feet led him to a large estate where he went to the front door. Barely managing to tap on the doorbell he collapsed onto the doorstep.
He barely hear his name spoken before looking up into azure eyes and whispering one word, "Seth."
Darkness took his mind.
Seto sat at the table reading the morning paper. Mokuba was downing the last of his milk before he looked at his brother with deep blue eyes.
"What's Jou doing here?"
Seto looked at his little brother, "He came here in the middle of the night. I don't know why, I'll have to find out when he wakes up."
"Who wakes up?"
The two brothers looked up to see the blond standing in the doorframe. Seto regained his composure quickly, opting to go back to his newspaper.
"Jou! What are you doing here!" Mokuba looked at the blond.
Jou stared at Seto, "I didn't know where else to go."
Seto watched the blond, "Mokuba, go play videos games, the mutt and I have things to discuss."
"I'm not a mutt!" Jou shouted at the brunet.
"Don't kill each other!" Mokuba skipped off to a different room.
Silence passed between the two before Seto set down the morning paper and motioned for the blond to sit.
Jou took the offer and sat down. Amber met Azure and the two held a glaring contest.
"What are you doing here Jounouchi?" Seto laced his fingers together in front of him.
Jou looked at the man, "I…..I had to ask, lately…..especially since Yuugi went to the hospital, have you been having….strange dreams?"
"Why do you ask?" Seto's eyes narrowed. Was the blond having them as well? Did the blond see them dressed up in ancient attire and holding onto one another?
"Lately….I've been seeing things in my dreams….Things….from…our past…"
"You mean ancient Egypt…" Seto stated.
"Not like you believe in it….You never did" Jou stood and began walking towards the door way.
Seto looked at him before speaking, "I never really had a choice but to ignore it. I was confused. Yuugi had taken away everything I had ever known and I was lost."
"That doesn't mean you have to throw everything you should have learned out the window!" Jou shouted in anger.
The brunet stared at the blond before stepping a few feet in front of the blond. Jou stared at the taller man and sighed.
Jou turned his head to the side and looked at the wall, "Does it really have to be this complicated?"
"I don't know, we can make it as complicated as we want. But, we can also make it very simple." Seto reached for him.
"Just so you know, no matter what the dreams have shown, I don't have feelings for you, and I never did…it just wouldn't work Seto…." Jou shied away from the pale hand.
Seto reached for him again, "Then why do you look away?"
The brunet took another step and pressed the blond against the wall, "you saw the two children in the dream, who were they?"
"….Kendra and Atemra…..but what do they have to do with this?" Jou swallowed.
"They called you Papa several times in he dream," Seto touched the soft cheek with his left hand.
"So? They called you Father….Kendra called you Daddy a lot though." Jou shoved the hand away from him.
Seto grabbed his left hand, "That's the point, they were our children. Is it possible that they want us to be together?"
"Never knew you were on that side of the fence." Jou spat.
"Katsuya would you listen!" Seto grabbed his wrists and pressed them to against the wall.
Jou's head whipped and looked into azure eyes. His own widened when he saw the pale face looming closer to his. Seto stopped just before touching Jou's lips.
"Stop being difficult and listen to what your body wants you to do…"
Jou's eyes widened as Seto leaned down and touched his lips with his own. He struggled to get his hands free but Seto's grip was too tight. The blond looked and saw the brunet had his eyes closed. All he could do was let tears fill his eyes before he responded.
Seto leaned down, the blond was freaking out, that much he knew. But he had to do this. It seemed like the only thing that would do. The brunet held the wrists tight as Jou struggled to get free and pressed a little harder on the soft lips. After a moment the blond stopped struggling and pressed his lips on Seto's.
The two stood still before Seto pulled away. Jou looked down and breathed deeply.
"What did you feel?" Seto stared at him curiously. He let the grip on Jou's wrists go.
Jou continued to look at the floor and curled his hands into fists.
"Jounouchi?"
Jou still didn't answer, he could feel his skin giving way to his nails.
"Katsuya?"
Jou's head snapped up, "It's wrong!"
The blond ran for the door and ran. He ran as fast as he could away from the house and the other man.
Seto watched the front door swing back and forth. He stared sadly as Jou's form faded from view.
"Even I admitted to it Jounouchi, why can't you?"
"Do you see him? Can you hear him?" The blonde woman asked as she rippled the water again.
Yuugi sat on his knees staring at the water. Yami was collapsed on the floor, tears rippling out of his eyes.
"Yami…..What's wrong with him?" Yuugi looked at her.
Jade eyes looked back before she sighed, "You've been in a coma for almost a month now Yuugi."
"What! But, I need to get back! Yami, he's more than likely worried about me. So is everyone else, you have to let me go back!" Yuugi shouted at her.
A cold breeze blew gently making white gold hair sway gently. The purple tank top ruffled slightly with the wind. Tan hands rubbed tan arms.
Yuugi looked up and saw a sparkle go with the wind, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Friends….you really want to go back? Back to the people who couldn't see what was wrong with you? They didn't understand what was wrong, they still don't." More tears blew with the wind.
Yuugi looked at her and then realized a cloud of shadows and began to cling to her body.
"Mama went through so much pain, you have too, why can't you except that everyone hates us!" The breeze turned into a gust of wind.
Yuugi shielded his eyes from the purple lightning that surrounded her body. Tears continued to land in the water, causing it to ripple and show different scenes. One caught Yuugi's eye. It was ancient Egypt, and Yami was there. Dressed in pharaoh garb. He was standing next to him, dressed in silk.
"What?" Yuugi watched the two hold each other, "Miss, what is this?"
She looked up, "You shouldn't see that."
Yami sat down on the bed in his soul room. He continued to stare harshly at the door before falling backwards. A small sigh came out of his mouth before closing ruby eyes.
He was about to fall asleep when the door to his soul room burst open with a gust of cold wind. Yami shot up and looked at the door. Stepping cautiously, the man moved to the door and saw that Yuugi's door was swaying in the wind.
"Yuugi?"
