- Chapter 3: Mornings -
The flat plasma 8 x 12 inch screen flickered a bright emerald green before the blinking white cursor appeared at the top left hand corner of the now black but glowing display.
Fat short fingers, ornamented with thick banned rings that adorned gems in oval and circular shapes of the same black color –the opal-, stabbed at the black keys of the keyboard that sat in front of the horizontal monitor. 0click0 the rectangle 'Enter' key was hit then he leaned back in the high-back black leather chair, the man rested his oversized elbows on the armrest, his fingers interlocked and flexing around the clasp of his hands.
A small, soft grunt of approval was emitted as the screen blinked again, this time its face neon blue before blinking again to the glowing black as words appeared on them –typewriter style- as thou being typed by invisible fingers.

Said computer screen blinked blue once again, and then with a few clicks of the keyboard, it turned off. Leaving the man with bejeweled fingers and a sinister smile - in darkness
The sweet cheerful sound of children's laughter filled the crisp spring air, perfumed by all the different flowers at full bloom, but mostly – by the Sakura. Petals of white, pink and red color the ground like the rain's drizzle on a pavement sidewalk. The sturdy short trunks of the trees lining the playgrounds' edge, like a ring of power that protects the innocent souls playing within it.
Two kids, one a blond, the other a raven, chased each other. Ducking underneath the jungle gym, the blond paused to turn around, shock clearly written on his face when he saw the shorter raven headed one just and arms length away. Dashing across the sandpits he went, putting more distance between them, giggling when he saw the look of disappointment, then determination on his long-messy black haired friend who quickly ran after him. Weaving through the swings, both boys laughed breathlessly as they peered at each other behind the thin pole's holding the suspended seats held by chains – catching their breaths.
"Cant catch me!" the fair-haired boy shouted, running of again not before stumbling over his feet. The younger one gave a shout of protest, grinning in response as he gave chase. Laughing and laughing, the tan skinned boy ran while looking behind his shoulder at his smaller playmate. Not looking where he was heading, the blond bumped and crashed into someone, sending them both tumbling to the ground.
The blond, dazed as he found himself seated on something warm and breathing. 'Huh' the boy thought as he looked down. Deep blue eyes met bright hazel ones. The wide, light brown eyes blinked once, twice, soon losing himself in those orbs framed with dark chocolate lashes. Ice blue eyes stared back at the one on top of him, whose golden lashes were longer and thicker, despite his masculine gender.
The sun seemed to shine brighter and brighter as he stared back. Soon, his entire vision was filled with the pale yellow light – blinding him. Then brighter, till it was starch white. And white was all he saw.
Thick-long lashes blinked a few times, sleepily, to reveal ginger-brown irises beneath half-lidded eyes. Yawning, the mentioned holder of said ginger-brown eyes stretched out his limbs beneath the thin blanket. Sleep filled chocolate eyes glanced over at the green alarm clock, 4.25am, the luminous hands and numbers of the clock showed.
Another yawn escaped the blonds' thin lips as a lazy arm slung over to grab the rectangular green device and switching off the alarm before it rang. Tossing the ticking object back onto his thin mattress, Jou Katsuya brought himself up to a sitting position, tucking his cold feet underneath his legs, warming them.
Raising his eyebrows, he looked out the small curtain-less window, the sun had yet to rise. Thinking back about the dream he had, he realized it had faded away, leaving him only with the memory of piercing blue eyes, and a playground.
"Strange dream," he mumbled, taking a deep breath to hopefully clear his groggy mind from said dream, yet, the faint smell of alcohol tingled his nostrils instead.
'Eeeew' Jou thought scrunching up his nose in distaste. Wasting no more time, Jou quickly got up.
Grabbing what books he needed for school that day and placing them into his tattered backpack, then depositing said bag next to his door before getting his toothbrush and a change of clothes - heading for the bathroom.
'Damn morning paper route' the tired teen thought grudgingly as he shivered underneath the cold water.
'D-damn cold water'
Chattering teeth, and ten minutes later Jou was creeping silently out the door, not wanting to get caught by his snoring father –beer bottle in hand, and heading down towards the main paper stand at the bus interchange.

Ti-ti-tit ti-ti-tit ti-ti-tit ti-ti-tit ti-ti-tit ti-ti *SMASH*
A tanned skinned arm lay now unmoving over the thin digital alarm clock. Its owner, had awoken for only a few seconds to silence the damned piece of mechanics, and had retreated back beneath the warm covers of his large queen sized bed to the depths of his interrupted slumber. Only spiky strands of black, red and yellow clearly visible against the pale blue of the thick comforter sheets, as the rest of said tri-color haired person lay contented and dormant under the covers.
"Muuphhh…" was the muffled sound came from somewhere near the middle of the bed. Amethyst eyes opened a slit to gaze at the face in-front of him. Holder of those enchanting orbs sighed a contented sigh, then giggled, a pretty blush staining his child-like face. Who wouldn't be contented after certain events that took place last night?
A muscular arm had crept up to claim the younger at his waist, pulling the demure teen towards his body, spooning him. Not protesting, the younger snuggled up, pressing his back further to the warmth on his back, resting his silken raven tresses on the others broad shoulder.
The deep timbre of chuckling came from the one behind him. Half-lidded crimson orbs looked down at the satisfied face of his lover and smiled before stooping down slightly to kiss his forehead, his lovers' blonde and claret bangs tickling his nose. Lower the crimson eyed teen ventured, his taught lips skimming across the side of the smaller ones' face till he found what his hungry lips were looking for.
Claiming his light in a fiery, yet gentle kiss - his domination over the thin pink lips of his innocent one.
'Biaw' Yami whispered possessively through their mind link and Yugi shivered visibly as the other's thick wet tongue snaked out, teasing the slit of his smooth lips. Demanding entrance
ah! Yugi started breathlessly, parting the doors of his insides, as his dark slipped into his hot and welcoming cavern. Sighing into the mouth of the other, then gasping when the venturing tongue had somehow managed to pull at yugi's smaller more silk-like one into his yami's territory.
A strangled muffled moan came from deep in the younger ones throat as he squirmed slightly – eyelids squeezed themselves; well with what Yami Atemu was doing it was no surprise. Smirking against his suction hold of the lithe smooth fleshy organ, whose owner was pleasantly leaning further back into Yami's back, the same arms that pulled him close now encircling his body in an embrace – crimson orbs lazily opening slightly, drinking in the sight of his fidgeting embarrassed soul-mate.
Feeble and in no control, Yugi knew that surrender was the only option against someone as dominating and as the control hungry Atemu. Giving up his squirming and failing struggles, he let himself go, allowing the old Egyptian pharaoh to drown him with his overfilling worship for the smaller ones lips.
School? Oh yeah, don't they have school today?
Well, school just had to wait…
Heheheh
Faint puffs of small white clouds formed as Jou cycled uphill, towards the sophisticated part of Domino city. Like other places, houses of the rich and famous were built atop a hill or highland, giving them a vantage view point. Jou was practically panting when he finally reached the somewhat level ground, where the mansions, bungalows and terraces lined the street.
Slotting the newspapers into the letter slots build into their fortress like walls and gates, or passing them to butlers and maids whom at times were waiting by the entrance. By the time Jou reached the last mansion, which was by far the hugest, most lavishly decorated with colossal fountains and gardens, Jou had caught his breath but was now really bushed.
Not even bothering to look up at such an impressive house, Jou reached into his basket, took out a paper and headed towards the side of the enormous double gates.
Peering out from behind the velvet-burgundy curtains of the second floor foyers' tall stained glass windows, Seto Kaiba saw a pleasant sight he was not expecting this early in the morning. There standing in front of his massive titanium steel gates, a khaki brown sling bag over his right shoulder donning a neon-green visor, was none other than Jounouchi Katsuya.
It had to be Jou, 'Who else in this neighborhood has such attractive blonde hair' the young CEO mused to himself, unaware that he had just used the word 'attractive' and Jou in the same sentence. Not far behind the attractive blonde, standing steady with a basket half-filled with rolled up newspapers hooked on the front and back, was a black bicycle.
Straining to see the teen better, he saw that his normally bright round eyes were drooping, a tired expression painting his lightly-tanned face. Jou had dropped a newspaper into the wide letter slot and was mounting the bicycle. With what seemed like a sigh, he kicked the stand back, and placed a foot on the pedal. Pushing forward on one foot, he took off speeding downhill on the side of the street, safe from cars. Well in this case of being in the uptown area – sleek black limousines and sporty convertibles.
Kicking up the dried autumn leaves, young Ryou made his way to school, a troubled sigh leaving his lips - correction, his bruised lips with a slight red cut to them. Kicking a aluminum soda can into the gutter, the metal making a soft clanking sound as it hit metal.
It was way too early to leave for school, but Ryou needed to get out of the house, just away from that place, as far as he could get.
Another defeated sigh, shaking his head and shoving his cold hands into the pockets of his thick, deep cherry, Gianni Versace wool coat. The long sleeves thankfully covering the bandages on his arm.
'What's his problem if I'm sleeping when he comes home?' Ryou mussed, confused and slightly worried, ducking his head examining the pavement as he recalled last night's events.
000 -Flashback- 000
0Kra-CHANG0 the sound of glass hitting a cement wall resounded through the quiet apartment, stirring the young fair-headed boy from his nap. Dark chocolate eyes blinked the sleep out of his eyes as another crashing sound made itself known, this time – closer.
Thick long lashes flew open, another crash, right outside his bedroom door. Ryou knew the foreboding was ahead, he recognized the signs just too well now.
'Y-yami's home' he thought, gripping the covers beneath him, fear starting to course through his veins. His breath quickening, leaving his mouth in pants
"Aaarrgghhh!" came a distressed yell of a drunkard, a drunkard by the name of Yami Bakura.
0SL-AM0 Ryou's bedroom door slammed open, if not for the high quality of the materials, it surely would have been knocked off its hinges. Angry, ragged breathing came from the doorway.
"Ryoooooou" a menacing voice called out in a sing song tone, a chuckle filled with malevolence came soon after. Taking another swig from the beer bottle in his hand, stumbling forward.
'Not again. No. Not again.' Ryou thought, his eyes widening further as he backed into the headboard. Tears threatening to cloud his vision as Bakura loomed forward, an unnerving grin on his shadowed features.
A whimper, and another chuckle, and the nightmare starts.
