Kawaii-hikari3: Eek! It's almost been a month since my last update!
All: WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!
Kawaii-hikari3: Uh...well...I had a minor case of writer's block! Well, I finally got some ideas and here's the newest chaper!
The group of people eyed Yami and Yuugi, smiling and smirking. Yuugi clung to Yami's arm, blushing in modestly. Yami looked at his sweet lover and smiled softly. Everyone's eyes were filled with happiness and splendor.
"So, what took you two so long to admit your feelings?" Seto asked, teasing a little.
"Seto!" Jounouchi gave a look that hinted he was being rude. He would've continued, but Seto captured Jounouchi's lips in his own before there was a chance of an argument. Bakura, not liking being left out, swung Ryou to face him and purred seductively. Ryou's cheeks flared as he saw Bakura's expression of interest.
"Seems that everyone's in love." Mana giggled.
"Seems that way." Mahado nodded.
Yami embraced Yuugi loosely, kissing his lovers forehead softly. Mana started to ogle at all the romance around her. Mahado smiled a little, not much into the romance, but happy to see his friends happily in love. A muffled thud was heard and all eyes noted Bakura had tackled Ryou into the sand, kissing Ryou passionately. Bakura looked up and broke the kiss.
"Hey, quit staring! Go stare at the pharaoh and his lover!" Bakura looked down at Ryou. "Where were we?"
"You were just kissing me…" Ryou said breathlessly.
"Sounds about right…" Bakura pressed his lips hard against Ryou's and smirked. Seto glanced at the two and had a slightly disgusted look on his face.
"What's wrong, Seto?" Jounouchi asked.
"They're…" Seto's expression grew more disgusted as Bakura started tugging at Ryou's outfit. "They're getting to involved."
"I bet you're only saying that 'cause that ain't us." Jounouchi said, kissing Seto's lips lightly. Seto blushed a little and carefully picked Jounouchi up, not breaking the kiss at all.
"Aww! This is so adorable!" Mana cried out.
"If you'll excuse us…" Yami said. "…Yuugi and I need to be alone right now…"
"Ok…" Mahado said as he looked at Yami. "I'll make sure no one suffocates."
Yami laughed as he lead Yuugi inside the palace. Yuugi's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment and naivety. He wasn't used to seeing so much affection before. Yami lead Yuugi into his room and laid Yuugi down on the bed gently. Yami laid himself down beside Yuugi, wrapping his arms around Yuugi's shoulders. Yuugi could hear Ryou's moans and Bakura's loud chuckles.
"Bakura's so loud…" Yami grumbled.
"Yeah…"
"Seto usually keeps things quiet, I'm sure they're already coming in and giving Bakura and Ryou some space." Yami said, nuzzling his head into Yuugi's shoulder. Yuugi blushed a little more and wrapped one of his arms around Yami's waist.
"Seto! Ahh!" Jounouchi cried out as he was pushed into one of the outside walls. Yami groaned as he heard Jounouchi's moans and Seto's purrs. Yuugi could see them from the doorway, kissing each other passionately.
"Could you two please keep it down?" Yami asked a little loudly, so they could hear him over their joyful moans.
"Sorry!" Jounouchi said, blushing. Seto forced Jounouchi into their room and tackled Jounouchi on the bed. He laid down on top of Jounouchi and smothered him with kisses on his neck and lips.
Yami glanced at them briefly before looking at Yuugi. Yuugi's cheeks were a bright red and he was staring at the bed. Yami smiled and kissed Yuugi lightly, trying to get Yuugi to snap out of his embarrassed trance. Yuugi's eyes widened as he watched Yami pull away with a smirk on his lips.
"AHHH! BAKURA! THAT HURTS! AHHH!" Ryou was heard yelling from outside.
"OH RA! BAKURA! DON'T BITE RYOU THAT HARD ON THE NECK!" Mana yelled with embarrassment ringing in her voice.
"What! I'm having fun!" Bakura yelled. "Fine! We'll go inside then!"
Yami groaned in annoyance and shifted so his head was buried in a pillow. Yuugi turned and hugged Yami tightly, wondering why Yami was so upset.
"Will they just keep quiet?" Yami mumbled into the pillow, as if answering Yuugi's unspoken question. Yuugi understood Yami and giggled a little.
"Yami, don't get angry."
"How am I supposed to give my attention to you if they keep making so much noise!" Yami said, turning his head to stare into Yuugi's amethyst eyes.
"Just focus on me." Yuugi said, smiling. Yami smirked and rubbed his nose against Yuugi's. Yuugi's cheeks flared and his eyes questioned Yami's actions.
"Confused, Yuugi?"
"Yeah. Why are you rubbing my nose with yours?"
"This is something that we Egyptians do when we really care for someone." Yami purred. "I've never done this with anyone else…"
Yuugi's mouth opened to say something, but Yami pressed his lips against his own. Yuugi moaned quietly as he felt Yami's hands slide to his hair. Yami's fingers ran through Yuugi's messy locks and rested on the back of Yuugi's head.
'This feels so good…so right…' Yuugi thought to himself. 'I always want to be with Yami…'
Yami broke his kiss and glared at the door. Yuugi blinked and looked to see Shimon and Anzu standing inside the room, staring. Yami sat up and crossed his arms over his chest, not at all pleased with being interrupted. Yuugi sat up and stared at the two people who had interrupted, with his face showing disappointment.
"Any reason you two came and interrupted us?" Yami asked.
"The council's begging to see Yuugi." Anzu said. "They refuse to rest until they meet with him."
"I said they couldn't see Yuugi and I still won't allow it!" Yami said angrily. "Shimon, didn't you tell them what I said!"
"I tried, but they wouldn't listen." Shimon said calmly.
"Leave." Yami said angrily.
"But…" Anzu and Shimon both said at the same time.
"Leave!" Yami said angrily. Anzu and Shimon nodded before leaving the room. Yuugi stared at Yami with a look of slight fear spread across his face. Yami groaned and laid down and put his hands over his face. Yuugi stared at Yami with sad and sympathetic eyes.
"They won't rest until they see you…" Yami said.
"Hmm…" Yuugi said softly.
"I don't want them to see you. Those fools will find out about your gift and try to steal it from you." Yami said angrily. "…I won't let them harm you…"
Yuugi remained silent and stared at Yami for a long moment. He took his hands and moved Yami's hands away from his face. Yami stared at Yuugi softly and sighed.
"You're so kind…" Yuugi said.
"Yuugi…" Yami began, but felt Yuugi place his lips on top of his own. Yuugi pulled away, smiling.
"Rest. You're to upset. I'll be right here." Yuugi said softly and soothingly. Yami nodded and pulled Yuugi so the smaller boy was laying on top of him. Yuugi blushed and listened to Yami's heartbeat as Yami fell asleep. Yuugi's eyes began to droop as he snuggled closer to the source of his comfort.
"Sleep well, Yami…" Yuugi whispered softly.
