I have two more things to say.
1) Chocolate Cheese, your pictures were awesome. I put them in my favorites so now I can look at them whenever I forget what I wanted Seto to look like!

2) To Faith Hunter Jounouchi, I tip my hat to you. You have become a close friend and didn't complain when it took me two weeks to get you the chapter after I asked for help. I totally love you and you are still my favorite authoress : )
Show Me How It Ends
-Stage Eighteen: Awakening-
Seto held Jou almost painfully tight, as if afraid he would disappear. The blonde didn't want to move, praying that this wasn't just some dream he would wake up from alone.
"This isn't a dream."
Katsuya smiled into Seto's chest before looking up into his sapphire eyes.
"Even in my head you contradict me."
The blue-eyed CEO rested his head on the soft blond locks of his puppy. "Can't have you thinking I've changed now, can I?" Jou stifled a laugh. "I don't know, Mokuba might say otherwise."
Seto paused, eyes still shut as he nuzzled the blonde. "I'd think I'd rather be the same to him than have him think I'm some kind of devil."
Jou pulled away to give another small kiss to the brunet.
"You're not a devil Seto."
Katsuya became wary when the man in his grasp tensed rather noticeably. "Seto?"
Seto let go of Jou quickly, as if just realizing something. He looked at the blonde, pain and fear evident in his gaze. Katsuya had to look again, but for the briefest moment, he could have sworn that Seto's eyes were crimson. "Seto? What is it?"
"I am a devil…" He had killed. Sure it was Honda but…Seto was physically nauseous. He had eaten the spike haired freak. This gave a whole new meaning to cannibalism."I killed Honda…"
Jou moved to where Seto had backed up. "Honda deserved that-"
The brunet had a look of pure disgust on his face.
"I ate him…I actually ate him! I didn't even acknowledge that he was human! I just-"Katsuya grabbed his shoulders roughly.
"Fed. You fed because you needed it. Not because you're some kind of demon, because you've become something more than what you were. That is how you survive now. If everything you told me is true, like it or not, you aren't human anymore."
Jou wrapped his arms around Seto tightly, trying to assure him everything was okay.
"You're not a devil, you're Seto."
The vampire looked down at the golden pup holding on to him for dear life. Barely audible, Seto almost missed it when Jou whispered. "…I love you…"
Seto raised his arms to embrace the blonde once more. "I love you too, but I am a devil."
Jou released Seto and backed away so he could look at his face.
"Why do you keep saying that? If you want me to stake you or something, I'm not gonna do it."
Seto raised a defined eyebrow. "I am not asking you to stake me, Katsuya. But there are a few things I haven't told you about yet. And in all honesty, I'm a bit scared to."
Jou stared blankly.
"What could possibly be that bad? In the last hour, you've showed up at my apartment after being legally dead for three weeks, you told me that you're now a vampire and that you came back because you're in love with me. If I can handle that along with watching you maul two people, I think anything you could still possibly want to tell me wouldn't bother me that much. Besides, I love you and I'll forcibly accept anything you do or say because I desperately want to be with you. So there."
Seto smiled, a rare thing.
"Thank you, but if I show you, promise me you won't yell or anything."
"Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Don't say that."
"Why?"
"With everything that has been going on lately, it may just happen."
"Oh, well…that's a good reason."
"Turn around."
"Why?"
"I'm just a bit self-conscious, okay? A lot more so now…""Fine…"
Jou turned around and Seto began to remove his coat. He let the material fall to the floor, groaning as his wings were released. He paused, realizing that his turtleneck wasn't going to come off around the leathery appendages. Seto drew a finger down the front of the shirt, tearing the material away to reveal small spines tracing his chest and shoulders, gradually growing larger as they got farther up his body. The disappearing shirt also revealed a round scar just below Seto's heart. An all too familiar mark left behind by the bullet that took his life.
"Jou…"The blonde curved around, only to be met with a sight that he wasn't prepared for at all.
"Oh my god…"
Seto cringed and looked away from the other. The blonde moved to stand before the brunet. He watched the slight twitch of his love's tail in amazement. Jou raised a hand to gently trace one of Seto's shoulders, pausing as his fingers snared on one of the thin, black spikes.
"…how…?"
"I told you. I'm a vampire."The 'devil' found his voice and pulled away from Jou, wings flaring slightly. A warning to the blonde to back off. Seto may not have wanted to frighten his pup, but he succeeded in that venture nonetheless. Katsuya fell back onto his bed, eyes wide.
"Rethinking your words already?" The sentence came out in an almost sneer. Jou's reaction to Seto's new form was almost expected by him. But it was still unwanted.
"No, Set-"
"I knew it would be a mistake if I came." He turned on his heel and strode towards the glass doors. Jou pushed himself off the bed and ran in front of Seto, blocking him.
"You aren't going anywhere! Why are you suddenly so put off?"
A sharp knock brought the two's attention to the door."Katsuya!" A girl's sob followed the cry. "Kat-su-ya!" Shizuka burst into the room and hit Jou at full speed wrapping her arms around him in a terrified hug.
"Oh my God! I-I-…All your talking about everything…I didn't know your psycho-ness was contagious!"
Jou looked around over Shizuka shoulder. Seto was nowhere to be seen.
"Shizuka listen, if what you're saying is true, I caused you're problem so go talk to dad. Bye!"
The blonde pulled her away from him and shoved her out the door as gently as he could. He slammed and locked it before running a quick search of his room for the vampire.
Jou ran to the glass doors and watched the brunet perched on the railing for a moment, wings spread wide. He slid back the panel and walked out to the deck.
"So what, your just gonna leave now?" the blonde alleged, leaning against the rail next to Seto.
The vampire turned to the other, cinnamon bangs hiding his eyes. He remained silent as he flexed his wings experimentally, looking out once more into the darkness.
"God, so you're going to ignore me now? Fine. 'Cause it doesn't matter. Do you want to know why?"
Silence.
Jou reached over and grabbed Seto's tail, much to the delight of the aforementioned owner of the said tail, and pulled. Hard. As of today, Seto had discovered that he really didn't have any sense of balance. Come to think of it, his common sense must have been on vacation as well. That action had caused the brunet to end up in a heap at Katsuya's feet.
"That is why. You aren't going anywhere until you tell me why you freaked out like that! Honestly! You come back from the f-ing dead, tell me you love me…and that's like a total surprise because I've pretty much loved you since the start of Junior year…whatever, listen, Why. Did. You. Freak?"
Seto remained quiet for a few seconds. Jou contently noted that the brunet's tail was wrapping itself around his hand. "Aww…it likes me…" he whispered lightly. Seto let out a small laugh as he got to his feet, his tail still grasped by / wrapped around the blonde's arm.
"It's just…" Seto started.
"Yes?"
"You said it yourself, you've been in love with me since junior year. You fell in love with who I was…not what I've become.""You are such an emo."
"What?""I've finally figured it out, you're either an emo, or you're bi-polar."
"Were you even listening to me?"Jou just stood there, completely calm and collected. Seto on the other hand, was on the verge of an aneurysm.
"It doesn't matter. You're still hot, and you've still got your shining personality!"
Seto's mouth was hanging open in disbelief.
"So…you don't care about the wings and stuff?"Jou snorted before quickly raising a hand to cover his mouth and nose.
A slightly muffled 'Of course not.' Could be heard from beneath Katsuya's fingers.
Seto now remembering that his tail was still in Katsuya's other hand, tugged it back lightly. Causing Jou to move forward with it. Seto reached out and grasped the blonde's waist before pulling him into a gentle kiss. He let Jou's head fall onto his chest.
"You really think I'm an emo?" Seto whispered."Mayhaps."
The end of this chapter has been written by the supremely great authoress Faith Hunter Jounouchi! It does contain a LEMON, so if you don't like it…well then the chapter's over. So enjoy!
Suddenly the vampire lifted off the ground and walked back into the darkened room of his beloved golden puppy. Jou could see the mischievous glint in the former CEO's eyes and fell for them instantaneously. The brunette held out his hand and the puppy willing took what was offered, though he didn't see the whole deal. Jou was in a trance that only Seto could put on him and was willing to let the vampire have what it was he desired so bad, why he even agreed to be the undead for the rest of eternity.
The moon's silver beams hit the bedroom floor and gave off a romantic lighting. Kaiba's blue eyes dazzled with passion and love from the moon's light and he titled his head down and took Joey into a deep and heated kiss. Jou moaned as he felt Kaiba's hardening member rub against his own. The brunette took the kiss over whole-heartedly and made his lover breathless. The harsh need for air made Jou push Seto away but that didn't stop the young vampire. Not even close. The vampire lent down and whispered into his soon-to-be lover's ear, "You've been strong without me my love, now show me how defenseless you really are."
Seto sat up straight and straddled Jou's legs. He smiled when he saw the definite arrival of lust in his lover's eyes and heard it in his pants for air. "Seto." The blonde whispered. The brunette touched Jou's lips with a finger and shook his head. He then began to unzip the torturous pants that the puppy was wearing, though he did not remove them, just yet. Seto lay back down and kissed the blonde lightly on his lips then made his way down to his jaw line then moved to the skin just behind his lover's left ear. Jou turned his head to the right, giving more room for the brunette to work with.
As Kaiba gave Jou his best love bite the blonde massaged the brunette's shoulders and back. Then suddenly shivers of lust crawled up Jou's spine as Kaiba softly drug his left hand down the blonde's chest and abdomen, then finally down the front of his pants. Jou moaned when he felt Kaiba began to massage him and he bucked his hips. Kaiba looked up from his lover's attacked skin and into those soft honey brown eyes.
"Seto…please." Jou whined in a puppy fashion. The brunette softly squeezed his lover and smirked, "Please what pup?" The pup moaned and bucked his hips again. "Please…just take them off then take me." The blonde whimpered. Kaiba smirked and kissed his lover's lips. He did as the blonde pleaded and removed his confining pants. Jou moaned again as the cold air hit him and hooked his arms around the brunette's neck.
"Come on, your turn." Jou said while playing with the waistband of the vampire's pants. The brunette smiled then let his lover slide his pants off, now they were both wearing nothing but the moonlight on their backs. The blonde had to look at his bare lover, Kaiba smirked when Jou laid himself back down and brought the vampire with him.
Seto stared where he left off and sucked at the flesh behind Jou's ear while his hands roamed freely up and down the blonde's lithe body. "Ahhh…. uhhh…Seto." Jou whispered as he felt their beings rub together. With that, Seto left his mark and began to make his way down to Jou's collarbone and licked the tender flesh then he moved down further to the blonde's navel. He kissed the skin on either sides of it before slipping his tongue into it. Jou felt weak with lust and panted as he lay on the mattress and locked his gaze with the vampire. Seto looked at his lover from above and watched as the body beneath him glistened with sweat from the moon's light.
"Take me Seto." Jou whispered. The vampire smirked and kissed his puppy softly. He positioned himself between the blonde's legs at his entrance; all the blonde could do was move his legs even further apart to make more room for his lover. Before Seto slid in, he whispered to his puppy these words, "Show me how it ends." Slowly the vampire slid in and drove the blonde beneath him crazy. "Faster Seto." Jou pleaded. "Just be patient pup." Seto's voice was full of struggle and lust.
Seto pulled out of Jou then slammed into him quick and hard and all he heard was his lover scream in bliss and grip his shoulder spikes for leverage. Kaiba repeated the same thing over and over until he found the blonde's sweet spot and made the puppy cry his name violently, boy was his voice gonna be scratchy. Again, the vampire hit the spot and Jou began to see stars of white. He moaned and bucked his hips when the brunette began pumping him in time with his thrusts. Soon, Jou could hold on no longer. The blonde came hard, spilling his essence on Kaiba's hand and their chests and screaming Seto's name at the top of his lungs. It was soon to be known that Kaiba wasn't going to last any longer; Jou's muscles contracted around him and the pressure alone brought the brunette to his climax, crying the puppy's name into the dead of the night and spilling his seed into the blonde.
Seto felt his body go entirely limp and he fell to the bedside beside his lover. As the vampire looked over to the puppy he found him sucking on one of his fingers. "What's wrong Jou?" The blonde pulled his finger out of his mouth; "I cut myself on your spike." With a smirk, Kaiba lent over and took the digit into his mouth and drank the sweet nectar that was the puppy's blood until it stopped bleeding. Soon he released the digit and watched as the blonde yawned, "Bedtime puppy, sleep well." Jou nodded and rested his head on his feather soft pillow and let his eyes fall shut but not without saying these last few words, "I love you Seto."
I finally got out another chapter! YES! Please review, as per usual and I will get the next one out as soon as possible!
