Chapter Eleven
The old man rushes to the window as the old woman continues to point her gun at the gang. Sethos stands outside in front of the car dressed in a black button down shirt and leather pants, the red interior of his black duster can be seen as it blows in the tropical wind.
Old man: It's him!
Yugi: Him who?
Sethos: I am Sethos and I've come for what belongs to me.
Old man: Oh yeah? Well if you want it so bad then why don't you just come in here and get it?
The air inside the Hotel and outside takes on a high level of intensity. So thick the gang felt as if they could almost see it. Fearing for Yugi's safety Yami reappears and takes control.
Yami: Ma'am, you must let us free, you are obviously facing a very powerful threat and we can work together.
The old woman understood his words but felt as if she could not take the chance. Sethos look over the Hotel and notice a strong barrier surrounding it preventing him to pass inside. He laughs.
Sethos: Why should I enter when I can take what I want from out here?
Marik: What about my sister?
Sethos: Safe with me, but for how long is up to you.
Yami: Don't you see? We must fight him together!
Old woman: He'll never get the stone.
Old man: Let them free, if they turn on us then we will finish them.
The old woman raises the gun and the gang rush to the windows to see for themselves.
Old woman: You'll never get the white stone do you hear me!
Sethos: I hate resorting to such measures but I really don't have time to waste with you people.
Sethos spot Seto thru the window and smiles. Seto as well as everyone else can't believe their eyes.
Seto: What the hell! He looks like me!
Sethos: Correction, you look like me.
Yami: It can't be!
Tea: Who is it Yugi?
Yami: I thought I banished him with my Mind Crush!
Joey: What?
Yami: That is Kaiba's dark side he looks different but I know it is him, I can feel it, but he was banished.
Sethos laugh wickedly.
Sethos: You freed me thousands of years ago. At least the best part of me, no matter how many reincarnations he endures there will always be a touch of darkness that lies within Seto's soul.
Old woman: Don't worry he can see us clearly but he cannot enter, the barrier my husband and I erected is too strong.
Sethos: But it can be broken just like your feeble old bones.
Wheeling with shock, Seto was still able to connect the voice.
Seto: That man!
Another car pulls up near him and five hooded men get out and stand next to him, another five get out of the car Sethos was in and stand on the other side. All waiting for their orders. All of them ready to kill. The men then take off their hoods to reveal the faces of demons. Small noses, long sharp teeth and fingers and large pointy ears dressed in gold hooped earrings. All are drooling waiting for the chance to taste the delicious mortals that stand inside.
When their hoods were removed Tea screamed as the others trembled in fear. The old man rushes off to the back room and brings out a crate of weapons.
Old woman: Everybody back! Get away from the windows!
The gang moves quickly away from the windows. And stand waiting for whatever happens next. Seto and Yami get into a fighting stance. Joey goes back to the window to see Sethos and the demons gone.
Joey: What! They're gone!
Old woman: Get back!
Sethos: When this night is over you will break and everything will be mine!
Pieces of the ceiling begin to fall down and loud stomps and bangs are heard on the roof.
Old man: They are on the roof!
Tea: I thought they couldn't enter!
Old man: They can't enter the doors or windows but crashing thru may be a different matter.
The old woman aims her gun as the Demons continue to try and break in. She shoots up and the noise stops.
Joey: That stopped them!
Yami: Yes but they will be coming from another way.
Just then a large rock crashes thru the window. Now all a sorts of large and even smaller rocks were tossed thru all the windows. One of the rocks hits Honda upside his head. Tea grabs him and they all dive for cover. From behind the counter the old man covers his wife.
Old man: They are trying to confuse us but this is just parlor trick by low level demons! This is nothing.
The rocks stop and all is silent once again. They all wait for a while before emerging from their hideouts.
Seto: Enough of this shit! I demand an explanation now!
Seto tried his usual intimidating stance but couldn't quite pull it off when he winced from pain at having to almost slowly get up from the floor and lean against Yami for support.
Old man: I don't know how long we have and everything is usually quite, they must be hatching a plan or trying to wait us out. I'll be quick. Years ago when my wife and I were a young couple a strange man came to us with half of the white stone and told us to guard it with our lives. He told us that a demon would come for it and try to use it to open the Underworld. You see all the stones are keys to open the underworld. It is said that if the gates are opened it will unleash fury upon the world. The Demons will come out and thrive once more.
Yami: Once more?
Old man: Yes. You see centuries ago when the world was nothing but gases and sulfur surrounded by darkness Demons lived here and loved it, the problem was that they had no control over when the gate would open and when it would close so the demons created nine stones and used them as keys so they could pass from the underworld to the newly creating world anytime they liked. As the years passed and they saw what this world was becoming they began to fight wars over certain parts to rule, soon the underworld fell into chaos so the high-ranking demon council united to take over different sections of this world and rule over the new beings coming into existence.
Joey: This is freaky Yug!
Seto: It sounds like nonsense to me.
Old man: One day the Legendary Dark Knight appeared and closed the underworld and scattered the keys all across the world. And as a final act of protection for the human race he transformed his soul into a key stone, the Demonic Force stone making it the hardest key to obtain to open the underworld.
Old woman: This man, this Sethos may be the threat we were warned about earlier.
Old man: I must check the upstairs barrier. Since there is no activity so far so you can go to your rooms, I assure you that you're safe.
Tea: I don't think I'll be able to get any sleep tonight.
Tristan: Me either.
Yugi switched back into control over his body and grabbed Kaiba's hand.
Yugi: I'll help you back to bed.
Kaiba's eyes flashed with a touch of anger at the thought of needing anyone's help but as quickly as it appeared it vanished with a small smirk.
Kaiba: Yes Yugi, I'll let you help me into bed and while we're at it you should join me.
Joey nearly dropped to the floor. Yugi and the rest of the gang were all shocked faced at his
suggestion.
Yugi: Uh, Kai–
Kaiba: With everything that's happened here tonight we all should stay as close as possible to our roommates, and besides, you paid for the room it's only fair that you get the bed too.
Yugi: Oh, well yes okay.
Nearly jumping with an uplifted mood, he slowly helps Kaiba to their room. Tristan placed his hand on Joey's shoulder knowing that he must be steaming with jealously.
Tristan: Marik you might as well come join me and Joey in our room.
Marik: You're right, and we have to stay on guard incase those . . . things come back.
Tea: I hope they never come back again! I'm going to my room.
Inside Yugi's room Kaiba takes a seat on the bed lowering himself gently onto the mattress. His leg still hurt like hell. Yugi still wondered why that man looked so similar to Kaiba. 'The darkness inside of Kaiba was a hideous beast. Not the handsome man standing before him, just minutes before. He looked the way he knew Kaiba himself will look in just a few short years' Yugi thought as he took off his shoes.
Kaiba: I'm ready to ditch this dump.
Yugi: You're right. We can't stay here long.
Kaiba takes off his shirt, his eyes never leaving Yugi's. 'What is he doing? Is he trying to drive me crazy? And why would I go crazy over Kaiba taking off his shirt? This is weird' Yugi thought as he stared at Kaiba's perfect toned slim chest and dark tantalizing nipples.'Stop it! Look away!' Yugi tore his eyes away from Kaiba to the window. He continued to look out into the darkness as he heard the sheets rustle and bed squeaks with Kaiba's movements. When he was sure Kaiba was secure and covered he finally turned to see the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen. Before he could look away again.
Kaiba: What the hell are you standing there for? Get in.
Yugi: Uh, okay.
Yugi nervously peeled off his shirt and pants until he stood in only his boxers. As he made his way to the empty space next to Kaiba, he suddenly caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Whatever lustful feelings he had flew out of the window. 'Why would Kaiba want a little skinny pip squeak like me? I look like a child for goodness sake!'
Kaiba: Hurry up so I can turn off these lamps.
Yugi pulled back the sheets and slipped inside. Before he knew it Kaiba reached over him slowly, Yugi laid back and breathed in Kaiba's spicy sweet scent. 'I wish I hadn't done that' Yugi said to himself as he felt his groin twitch. Kaiba finally turned off the light and lingered over Yugi's stiff form for a few seconds before moving over to turn off the light on his side of the bed. After a few minutes both of them were comfortable and ready to drift off to sleep. Kaiba reached over and pulled Yugi close to him in a spooning position. Feeling the heat of the body next to him and Kaiba's hand resting just above his semi erect penis Yugi's mind was racing with confusion, hope, and desire. He tried to scoot away slightly but Kaiba tightened his grip and pulled Yugi until his back pressed against his chest.
'I wonder how the underdog Wheeler is gonna handle me seducing the object his desires. I bet he's worried right now as to what I'm doing to him.' Kaiba laughed to himself wondering how he's gonna make sure Joey finds out. 'And why would Joey want this little runt anyway? He's barely as tall as Mokuba and he acts like a two year old, but then again him being small may actually be an advantage in bed.' Kaiba smiled at his wicked thoughts. 'He is after all right at the source of pleasure and to have a weak and passive lover to take your frustrations out on when you've had a shit day could be just what the doctor ordered'. Suddenly the idea of wanting Yugi as a lover wasn't as far fetched as he once thought, as a matter of fact the more he thought about it the more Yugi enticed him. 'What could he do to me if I fucked him over?' Kaiba could almost picture Yugi's wide frighten eyes staring up at him as he loomed over his small body, the thought of lifting Yugi's legs and driving into his body. 'Would he cry out when it first happens? Would he be in pain?' Kaiba can practically feel himself pushing deeper into his body and hear Yugi gasp for air at his force 'my force' control every single action he made. 'How long would it take for him to scream my name?' In pleasure or pain it made no difference. 'Why should it when he's there to please me?' Yes this could be just what the doctor ordered.
