It had been a full two weeks since Kaiba had totaled his car. Fourteen days since he spent that amazing night with Salem.
They had been texting back and forth, but Kaiba hadn't been able to schedule any time with her.
Missing two days of work had set him back. His board of directors were already on his ass about paperwork, now they're watching him extra close thanks to Mokuba mentioning the car accident. The last thing they wanted was Kaiba disappearing again.
He was signing papers in his office when his phone buzzed. A text from Salem.
Goddess: Tanin! Are you free this evening?
Kaiba's stomach swooped with excitement. He did have a free evening and didn't think she was available, but this was good news indeed.
He crafted his reply, making sure not to sound overly eager to see her again.
Seto Kaiba: I actually do have an open evening. Was there something you had in mind?
Kaiba was dying to see her again. His bed was so hard and cold compared to hers. He was hoping to touch her again, and feel her warm skin on his.
Goddess: Come over. I have something to show you. Dress casual.
Seto Kaiba: I'll be at your place at 7pm.
Goddess: Try not to crash on your way here, habibi. ;)
Kaiba rolled his eyes and chuckled to himself. He pocketed his phone and continued his work, hoping to get through the rest of the day quickly.
There was a small knock at the door followed by it being cracked open slightly.
"Come in, Mokuba." Kaiba said, not bothering to look up from his work.
Mokuba stepped into the office and shut the door behind him, staying close to the door. He didn't plan on staying long.
"Seto, we may have...an issue."
Kaiba looked up from his pile of work and raised his eyebrow.
"An issue?"
"Well I mean...nothing that will slow down production, but the Board is um, waiting to speak with you."
Kaiba felt his stomach dip and turn with nervousness. This could only be bad. The board never called an impromptu meeting unless it was bad.
Mokuba opened the door and waited in the doorway.
"They're waiting for both of us, Seto."
"Do you know what this is about, Mokuba?"
Mokuba remained silent and averted his eyes from his brother's prying gaze.
"We should head to the board room." Mokuba said, walking towards the elevators.
Kaiba grumbled internally and moodily followed his brother to the board room, dreading what ever was about happen.
The room was lively with conversation, the members of the board were milling about as Mokuba entered the room.
As Kaiba entered the room, it fell silent.
Great.
This is going to be awful.
Everyone took their respective seats, with Kaiba at the head of the table. All eyes on him.
Someone finally spoke.
"Mr. Kaiba, we'd like to make this as easy as possible."
Oh shit.
Were these assholes about to remove him as president?
Was today the day?
Why didn't Mokuba say anything, unless he's involved somehow-No. Mokuba would never do that to him.
"Would one of you shed some light on what this meeting is about? I'm very busy." Kaiba said with a sigh.
A woman at the far end of the table spoke next.
"Well, of course you are, Mr. Kaiba. These pictures circulating the internet show that very well."
Her arms were crossed and her voice was grating.
Kaiba was confused. Pictures?
He looked towards Mokuba and he opened a laptop. It looked like the window on the screen had but up for a while, meaning the board was discussing this with Mokuba, behind Kaiba's back.
Mokuba pushed the laptop towards his brother, and kept his gaze down, afraid to look into Kaiba's eyes.
Kaiba looked at the website, seeing the pictures they were speaking of.
He stomach dropped as he found himself looking at pictures of him and Salem, on the beach.
He kept scrolling through the website, seeing the pictures become more gradually more graphic.
There were pictures of them holding hands, kissing, and the last ones were of them rolling around in the sand. The very last picture was of her on top of him, and him grabbing her ass.
There was no one on the beach, not that he saw that night. But, it was dark, someone could have been there watching the whole time.
He kept scrolling and saw that there was a video of their first meeting at the restaurant. It looked like it was shot by one of the servers.
So much for a semi private dining experience.
The video showed her taking out her card and giving it to Kaiba, he noticed that when he grabbed the card, his eyes locked with hers before she let go of it.
Kaiba was having trouble breathing, someone took these moments, these private moments and sold them.
The title of the article was "Seto Kaiba and his "Brown Beauty" Ambassador Sala Wahab"
Kaiba groaned internally and slammed the laptop shut.
An older woman spoke, her words were sharp.
"Mokuba says you're dating this woman. Is this true?"
Kaiba looked at his brother and saw that his head was down.
Hmpf. He tried to save his older brother from the board but made things worse.
Kaiba cleared his throat and looked at his board members.
"Yes, this is true. I don't see why a meeting was needed. It's a waste of time."
Kaiba began to stand up when another member stopped him by saying,
"This is meeting is necessary Mr. Kaiba, especially since she's a foreigner."
Kaiba froze.
What?
The same board member continued to speak as Kaiba sat back down.
"This is a very important opportunity for Kaiba Corp to branch out into politics. We can spin your obvious contempt of our culture by saying that you are open to discovery of different cultures. We'll need a statement from her confirming your relationship."
Kaiba was beginning to feel dizzy. This couldn't be happening. He didn't want the whole world to see into his life like this, it's why he remained so private in the first place.
"Why do we need a statement from her? My private life is private, and I'd prefer not to acknowledge this article in the press." Kaiba said, crossing his arms.
The first woman scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Ah that's right. She tried to set Kaiba up with her daughter a couple of weeks ago. His response had been a very direct and firm "no".
"Mr. Kaiba, you gave up that right when you decided to make out with your desert snake on the beach like a couple of horny teeenagers."
Wait, what was that?
This woman was bad mouthing Salem, who he just admitted to dating, right in front of him.
"Don't you mean desert flower?"
Kaiba was challenging her to see if she would say anything else blatantly racist.
"Excuse me?" The woman said, her voice pointed and shrill.
"The phrase is desert flower. I would hate to think you're insulting The Ambassador of Morocco. Especially since we're moving in a, what was it you all said? More "open" direction?" Kaiba used their words against them, he wasn't going to sit back while his employees were being hypocritical.
The woman rolled her eyes and seethed quietly. Mokuba finally spoke up.
"Seto, I agree with them."
Kaiba's heart sunk. Mokuba was supposed to be on his side when it came to dealing with the board.
Kaiba looked at the room of older businessmen and women and sighed.
He wasn't going to win this one, especially if Mokuba wasn't on his side.
"Mr. Kaiba, politics will help bring our company into the global eye, and with...the ambassador on your arm, we can reach an audience that we realize now, we've been neglecting." One of them said.
"How are you suggesting Kaiba Corp get involved in politics? Dating a diplomat isn't enough to get pull in politics." Kaiba questioned.
Mokuba sighed and pushed an envelope towards his brother with a shaking hand.
Kaiba snatched the envelope from his brother, already tired of this bullshit.
He opened it and pulled out a letter.
He read it over, not understanding. This looked like someone had written a Letter of Candidacy, in his name.
Candidacy, for Governor of Domino?
"What the hell is this?"
Mokuba decided it best that he explain the plan.
"Seto, this may be strange, but with everything going on in the world, we need to secure our company's future. You need to run for Governor. Even if you don't win, it'll prove helpful. The U.S. branch is a mess, Salem is a U.S. citizen and she could-"
"She's the Moroccan ambassador to the U.S. not the other way around."
This entire plan seemed to be far fetched and not worth is time. He had no intention of using Salem for political gain.
"Actually, Seto. She's on hiatus now, but when she does return to politics, she'll be the new U.S ambassador. Didn't you think it was strange that she came to Japan of all places?"
Kaiba was reeling. This can't be happening, but it explains why she speaks fluent Japanese, she already has a house and entire staff, and why she has clearance to drive.
Her diplomatic immunity aside, it looked like her stay in Japan was to be a permanent one.
Traveling to and from the U.S and communicating with Japanese politicians would make her a perfect partner, even more than Kaiba had thought before.
"Mr. Kaiba, please think it over. Regardless of your answer, we will still need something confirming your relationship with the ambassador. Even if it's through social media. We can't have it look like you two are sneaking around, it looks suspicious."
Kaiba stood and and straightened his tie. This was a lot of information to take in, but he very well couldn't make Mokuba the president of a failing branch.
"This meeting is over, I have work to do. I will think the candidacy over and you will have a confirmation by tonight. Mokuba, in my office, now."
Kaiba stormed out of the board room followed by a nervous Mokuba.
When they finally got to Kaiba's office, He silently sat at his desk, ignoring his brother while he continued to sign documents.
Mokuba stood behind one of the white chairs, afraid to get any closer to Kaiba.
The air around them was tense. Mokuba was still holding the letter of candidacy under his arm, visibly shaking.
"Seto, I-"
"How could you?"
Kaiba slammed his hands down on his desk, making Mokuba jump. He knew Mokuba was trying to help the situation, but he should have known better than to divulge his private business to the board.
"Please, Seto, they were getting ready to place you on suspension." Mokuba spluttered over his words, shifting his weight from right to left.
"Those pictures made it look like we made up the car accident so you could play hookie with Sala. I couldn't think of a lie, I'm sorry, I wish I was as quick-witted as you Seto, I really do. But, you have to admit that they could have done worse."
Kaiba leaned back in his chair and pressed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger.
"He's right. You know he is. Just sign the letter. Like he said, you don't have to win, and if you do, you have more pull over the city. Just don't fuck things up with Salem."
Kaiba looked at his brother and then at the envelope under his arm.
"Give it here."
Mokuba's face lit up. He approached the desk and handed Kaiba the letter.
Kaiba placed the letter on his desk and signed the bottom, making sure to exaggerate his signature.
Mokuba snatched the letter off Kaiba's desk and ran to the door before he could change his mind.
"Have fun with Salem tonight! She should post on her social media as well, you need to post it across different platforms too. Bye, Big Bro!"
Mokuba slammed the door behind him and then hurriedly got into the elevator.
Kaiba glanced up, staring at his high ceiling and wondered what he just got himself into.
"This is going to be an interesting year."
—
Kaiba pulled into Salem's long driveway at 7pm sharp. He got out of his car and jumped when he was met with Anansi's green eyes.
Kaiba groaned internally as Anansi began to speak.
"I thought I was rid of you, yet here you are, back to taint Lady Sala's purity."
Kaiba glared and puffed up his chest. He felt more confident now that he was in a dark blue turtleneck, black pants, and boots, rather than just a towel.
"Good Evening to you too, Anansi."
Anansi rolled his eyes and lead Kaiba into the house. Once inside, Anansi held up a hand to stop Kaiba.
"I better not catch you trying anything else with her."
"Don't worry, Medjai, I'll make sure to do everything when you're not around to gape at us, you pervert."
"Medjai is Egyptian, I'm Moroccan, you racist pig."
"KHULASS!"
Salem's voice interrupted their arguing and they both froze.
Anansi bowed to Salem and kept his head lowered.
"Ana asfa, malikati."
Kaiba's eyes narrowed. He realized Anasi was using the language barrier to his advantage.
"Yumkinuk almughadara, Anansi."
Anansi stood upright and nodded, he gave Kaiba one last glare before exiting the house.
Salem smiled at Kaiba and walked up to him, kissing him on the cheek.
"Good evening, Tanin. I've released Anansi for the evening. He won't be bothering us tonight."
Kaiba wrapped his arms around her waist and smirked at her.
"Good because I've been dying to see you."
Salem gave a mischievous smile before breaking away from Kaiba's grip. She led him through the house and soon, they reached a part of the house he'd never seen before.
They entered a large room that looked like a rudimentary lab.
Salem walked over to her work bench and began fiddle with an object.
Kaiba eyed her from head to toe. She was wearing a loose fitting grey tank top with straight leg pants. The pants were made of soft fabric and had maroon and blue tribal print on it, on her feet were a pair of chunky heeled grey pumps.
How does she still look so amazing dressed down.
He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her again. He planted a kiss on her neck and bit her ear lobe.
She giggled and turned towards Kaiba. She leaned against he work bench and smirked.
"A little eager?"
"More than a little eager, Salem."
He was looming over her, his hands on the bench behind Salem. He grazed his teeth along her neck and took in the smell of roses in her hair.
Mhmm. Oh God…
Kaiba suggestively ground his hips against hers, and brought his lips to her ear.
"I'd like to go upstairs, habipty." He whispered sensually.
Salem shivered and slid her hands up Kaiba's muscular chest, enjoying the feel of his pectorals tensing underneath her fingertips.
"Mmmm, I love it when you speak my language, Tanin. But I have something very important to show you and it can't wait."
Kaiba huffed in frustration and gave Salem some space.
She picked up the object she had been working on and held it up for Kaiba to see.
He gave her a questioning look. It was a silver watch, with a digital screen, and there were flat buttons along the sides.
"What's with the face, Tanin? You said you wanted me to show you. We'll go now, using my "smart watch"."
Kaiba looked in her eyes.
Show him?
Show him what?
"Show me what, Salem?"
Salem groaned and rolled her eyes as she put the watch around her delicate wrist.
"You have the memory of a fish, Tanin. You wanted me to show you the multiverse, mish kida?"
Wait really?
Kaiba's heart fluttered with excitement, was she really going to do this, for him?
"But, why? You said it was dangerous?"
Salem smirked at Kaiba and grabbed a dark grey trench coat off of a nearby hook.
"It's nothing that The Great Seto Kaiba, can't handle. Plus, yanni, the universe we're going to is relatively safe."
"And that would be?"
"I'll explain when we get there. Also, did you eat before coming over?"
"Umm, yes?"
"Ah. You may vomit." She said, combing her fingers through her curly hair while giving Kaiba a worried look.
"What? What kind of technology is this?" Kaiba narrowed his eyes at her, feeling deeply disturbed.
"Oh Please, Tanin. I'm not a mediocre scientist, it's a fact that overexertion can lead to nausea. The first time you go through a portal can be intense-"
"Then why didn't you tell me not to eat anything?"
"Because the last time I saw you eat, it wasn't much. I assumed you don't have a large appetite, mish kida?"
Kaiba rolled his eyes. He wasn't getting ready to explain to this woman that he was nervous and didn't want to eat in front of her on their first date. Being rescued from his car was embarrassing enough.
"Okay, yalla, meshie, we'll go now. Are you ready, Tanin?"
"How could I possibly be ready?"
"Mmm, true. Let's go."
Salem pointed her wrist toward the open space and front of them. The molecules in the air started to distort and swirl. The swirl became an oval that was pink in color, making the portal complete.
Kaiba stared in awe, seeing something he's never thought was possible, happen right in front of him.
Salem approached the portal and held out her hand.
"Now or never, Tanin."
Kaiba held a sharp intake of breath through his nose, and grabbed Salem's hand, before he knew it, she pulled both of them into the portal.
It felt like Kaiba had only blinked before he found himself walking into an extremely large and decadent foyer. He dropped to his knees and retched painfully. Nothing coming from his stomach.
"Ah, So you didn't eat much, mish kida?" Salem said, gracefully walking to Kaiba and kneeling beside him, rubbing his back.
Kaiba lightly shoved her away and shakily got to his feet.
Salem smirked and stood as well, looking at her watch.
"Perfect, now we just have to find them."
Kaiba looked at Salem, trying to hide his nausea.
"Find who?"
"You and Atem, of course. I asked Anansi where he went to get those photos and this was the one he told me. Earth Dimension Z-146."
Kaiba felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
What?
She found their reality?
"Tanin? Are you alright?"
Kaiba looked in Salem's eyes, reassuring and calm.
"She knows what she's doing. Trust her, dumbass. Plus, you'll get see Atem again...Maybe with any luck, he could come back with you."
"Let's go. I want to see him."
Salem smiled and looked at her watch, tapping the screen several times.
"Some information before we get started. In this universe, you returned Kaiba Corp. to a weapons manufacturer-"
"What?!"
"Keep it down! This isn't our reality, and I don't want to have to talk us out of trouble."
Kaiba breathed, trying to keep calm.
"Why?" He asked, wondering what would possibly make him want to go backward from all of the progress he's made over the years.
"Hmmm. It looks like you did it to secure the future of your company during World War III." She answered, matter of factly.
"World War III? I thought you said this place was safe? Why did you take me here?"
Kaiba didn't want to stay in this place. Coming here was a bad idea, and he wanted to leave immediately.
"Calm down, Tanin. And I said "relatively" safe. The war is over, it didn't last long. The world leader who caused it was assasinated, and the world was quickly brought back to peace...after 5 years."
"Holy shit, Salem."
"There's more. It looks like the new world order isn't exactly the peaceful. The refugees from countries ravaged by war, were kept as indentured servants to some, and it looks like those with a high pedigree were sold as pets to the rich."
"Oh God. Atem isn't a pet is he?"
Salem's attention was immediately placed behind Kaiba, so she grabbed his arm.
She turned him toward the object of her gaze and he froze, he eyes landing on his doppleganger.
Oh no.
"You're fucked."
His body double looked both of them up and down and slowly approached them, as he did, Kaiba examined him.
He of course, looked just like him, but he was wearing a blue velvet jacket with a black button down shirt. His neck was covered in light purple bruises and bitemarks.
Were those...from Atem?
The alternate Kaiba circled them and stopped in front of Salem.
"I see...So, "The Wolf" has power in another universe. Ha! Atem, get in here!" He said, sizing Kaiba up.
Kaiba gripped Salem's hand and she squeezed back reassuringly.
Kaiba heard footsteps approaching, the shoes sounded, expensive. The door behind Alternate Kaiba opened to reveal Atem, looking regal in his long crimson robe. Atem gasped and ran up to them, looking at Kaiba with curious eyes.
Kaiba kept himself from pulling Atem into his arms as Atem looked him up and down, completely ignoring Salem.
Atem walked over to Alternate Kaiba and kissed him full on the mouth. They broke the kiss and looked at Kaiba and Salem, looking uncomfortable. Atem whispered into Alternate Kaiba's ear, and chuckled evilly.
Oh.
That can't be good.
Alternate Kaiba walked passed them, looking Salem up and down once more before disappearing into the palace. Atem followed and looked back at them.
"Follow us." His deep voice rang in Kaiba's ears. He'd almost forgotten what Atem sounded like.
Salem and Kaiba followed, hand in hand, unsure of what was to come. Kaiba knew them getting seperated would mean he'd be stuck in this reality, and he had no plan of being stranded.
They followed Atem up a staircase and down a very dark hallway. He paused in front of a large door, and look back at Kaiba and Salem.
"Would you like to meet me and my husband's pet?"
Kaiba's ears perked up.
Husband?
They were married in this reality?
"We were actually hoping to speak with you and your husband-" Salem started.
Atem ignored Salem and kept his eyes on Kaiba, pretended as it were just the two of them.
Kaiba nodded wordlessly and looked at Salem as Atem opened the door.
They were brought into a room with a large king-sized bed in the middle. The floor was red carpet and the walls were gold. The drapery was crimson, matching Atem's robe.
As they stepped inside, Salem gasped, squeezing Kaiba's hand painfully.
On the bed, was Alternate Kaiba, his jacket tossed on the floor and shirt open. In his lap, was the Salem that lived in this reality, barely dressed, and being mercilessly rubbed through her underwear, moaning and shivering.
Her long hair was grown out passed her hips, the curls well managed. There were bruises on her hips, peeking out from under her lace long. More bitemarks trailed their way up her stomach, and breasts were barely covered by the unlined matching lace bra, red in color.
Atem locked the door behind them and joined his Kaiba on the bed, running his fingers through pet Salem's hair. He finally made eye contact with Salem and said,
"This is our universe's Sala. Once the most powerful woman in her region, now a lewd little pet. Aren't you, Sala?"
She looked away from Kaiba and Salem's gaping faces, earning a pull of her hair from Atem.
"Answer me, slut-"
"Atem, be gentle. She's been good." Alternate Kaiba said, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist, giving her a break from the ruthless friction of his fingers.
Kaiba couldn't take anymore, this wasn't his Atem. This Atem was cruel and drunk with power.
"How do you know about the multiverse? You seem to be aware of the infinite realities, how are-" Kaiba began.
"We'll tell you everything you'd like to know, if your Sala tells us how to fix our technology." Alternate Kaiba said, rubbing and squeezing the Sala in his lap, making her face twist with a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Atem pulled her off of Alternate Kaiba's lap and laid her on the bed, crawling on top of her to bite and suck on her breasts through her lace bra. She yelped in pain and turned her head away from Salem and Kaiba, feeling shame.
Alternate Kaiba stood up threateningly and walked to stand in front and Salem and Kaiba. He eyed Salem hungrily, making her squeeze Kaiba's hand and step back.
Kaiba sized up his doppelganger and stepped in front of Salem. His alternate laughed, maniacally.
"What's this? Lovers, are we?"
Atem looked up from Sala's neck and took in the sight before him. He smirked and turned Sala's head towards Salem and Kaiba. He grabbed her face with his hand and squeezed.
"That version of you is so elegant, she even has her own Seto Kaiba. How does it feel to know how powerless you are here?"
"Khulass. I've had enough of this place. Yalla, Tanin, we're leaving."
Salem reached for Kaiba's hand and was roughly pinned against the wall by his Alternate. He pushed her arms above her head, keeping her wrists together with one hand. He leaned in, his face inches from hers.
Kaiba moved to pull him off of Salem, but felt metal against his back and froze. He turned to see Atem's dark crimson eyes staring up at him, a gun in his hand.
Shit.
"Relatively safe? Relative to what? We've been here five minutes and I have a gun to my back.."
"You two aren't going anywhere until we get what we want." Atem said, ushering Kaiba to the bed where Sala sat, afraid.
Alternate Kaiba pulled Salem off of the wall and held her arms behind her back. Making it difficult for her to reach her watch. He faced her towards Sala, and whispered in her ear.
"If you tell us, we'll let her go."
He bit the shell of Salem's ear and she struggled in his grip.
Kaiba growled and stood up, aware of Atem's gun still pointed toward him.
"Get your slimy mouth off of her!"
Atem and the alternate Kaiba let out two equally chilling laughs.
Alternate Kaiba brought Salem closer to the bed, keeping her arms secured behind her. Atem looked at Sala, and gestured with his gun for her to come to him. She obediently crawled over to him, and was grabbed by the hair.
Atem flipped her onto her stomach, and ripped off her panties, adjusting Sala so her behind was fully exposed in the air.
"Tell us what we want, or I'll fuck her with this…" Atem waved his gun for Kaiba and Salem to see, and placed it at Sala's entrance.
"You have to stop this. That poor girl may not be your Salem, but..."
"Stop! I'll tell you everything!" Kaiba said, his mouth moving faster than his brain.
"You have the technology?" The alternate Kaiba gazed at him in disbelief.
"...Yes...I can explain it to both of you. Privately."
Atem moved the gun from Sala's entrance, and got off of the bed. Kaiba's double released Salem, and threw her on the bed with Sala. He grabbed Kaiba by the arm while Atem continued to point the gun at Kaiba's back.
"Fine then, this way." Atem said, pressing the metal into Kaiba's spine.
He was lead out of the room, looking behind him to see a very concerned Salem. The door was shut and locked behind him.
Shit.
Salem heard the door lock and cursed under her breath. She got up from the bed and looked around the room, searching for a way out.
"The room is sealed. There is no way out." Sala said getting off the bed and stretching.
Salem turned to look at her, seeing the scared sex slave act disappear.
Sala bent down to reach under the bed and pulled out a chest. She opened it and pulled out a pair of panties, dark maroon.
"Don't you have anything else to wear? At least something that doesn't match this awful room?" Salem asked.
"I'm a sex slave, what the fuck do you think?"
"Ok, geez. Ana asfa."
Sala sighed and sat on the bed.
"It's fine."
Salem joined Sala on the bed and looked at her bruised body. Noting the especially dark bruises around her wrists and ankles.
"Who are you here?"
Sala huffed.
"I think you mean who was I."
"Sure, fine." Salem sighed, regretting this excursion immensely.
Sala rested her elbows on her thighs and looked at the floor.
"I was Prime Minister of my country. Our boarders became small because of the war. When The Tyrant was assassinated, we thought that Prince Atem was coming to our aide."
"Let me guess, internal conflict?"
"He was supposed to be my ally, we were to be married in order to make our two nations stronger. Instead, he betrayed me and gave Kaiba-sama's country access to our most important government buildings. Their leader killed my entire family, and Kaiba-sama provided every piece of tech they used." Sala continued.
Married?
To that vile monster?
"But your technology! My visits to most realities have shown me that all my alternates have made the breakthrough in some way or another."
"Yes, most of us have. Those of us who haven't been murdered for it. I'm only alive now because those two assholes think I'll rebuild the tech in exchange for my freedom. In order to make sure Kaiba-sama didn't get a hold of the tech, I destroyed my lab and my portal phone-"
"Pft, yours was a phone?" Salem chuckled.
"Um, yeah. And now I'm a sex slave, and my alternate who could be breaking me out right now, is laughing in my face."
"Right sorry. We need to find Seto, and get to a safe location. Then we can leave this place, and you can get your life back."
Sala raised her eyebrow and said,
"Just leave him here. Let me out, and I can contact my people. Most them are servants in this palace and across this land. I'll be able to kill Kaiba-sama and Prince Atem and rebuild my device-"
"I'm not leaving Seto. He's-"
"Using you. If there's one thing I saw before the war started, it was how selfish that man is. Do yourself a favor, and leave him here."
"You know the rules Sala, he doesn't belong in this reality, he can't stay."
"Ha! Says you of all people…"
Salem paused. What did this version of her know?
"What do you mean?"
"Oh don't play dumb. The others look to you for leadership, I know who you are." Sala stated.
Salem stood up and walked towards the door, looking at the gratuitous amount of locks.
"You don't know anything. I'll get you out, but I'm not leaving Seto."
Sala scoffed and walked over to Salem, waiting for a miracle.
Salem pulled a pen like device from her jacket and started to set the tiny dials.
"Ha, weapons in the jacket. You are The Sala, for sure now." Sala said looking over Salem's shoulder.
"Would you shut up?"
"Why? It's true, mish kida? You were the original creator of the technology. The original Sala. What happened to your reality? Why did you leave?"
Salem turned to face Sala.
"You will never speak of this. I agreed to break you out, now shut up and let me work."
Sala put her hands in the air and and crossed her arms, staying silent.
Salem pressed a button on the device and it emitted a torch-like laser from an opening. It easily and silently cut through the locks on the door.
"Amazing!" Sala exclaimed.
"Shh! Do you want them to come back?"
"Ana asfa, Malika." Sala apologized.
"Don't call me that." Salem snapped back at Sala.
"Why not, it's who you are-"
"Not anymore. Okay, yalla. If you can get me to Atem, we'll find both Setos."
"Fine. I have some unfinished business with Prince Atem, anyway."
The twins opened the door, and set off into the palace, hoping Kaiba wasn't being harmed.
Kaiba was pushed into a dark room and thrown onto a bed. He felt pressure on his hips and his wrists being pinned to his sides.
The lights flicked on, and as his eyes adjusted he was met with Atem's dark crimson ones. His robe was falling off of his shoulder, his brown skin glowed under the lights, and Kaiba couldn't help but stare.
Alternate Kaiba approached the bed and sat down next to Kaiba's head.
"He's beautiful, yes? Tell us what we want, and you can have your fun."
Kaiba shifted uncomfortably. This isn't what he wanted. This Atem wasn't the one he fell in love with, and this version of himself was just as corrupted.
"There's no need for that. I'll tell you what you want to know. " Kaiba said, trying to remain calm.
"Mmmm, so willing...I might just have my fun with him, Seto-chan." Atem said, grinding his hips down onto Kaiba's.
Kaiba groaned in pain. The friction on his flaccid penis was painful but he had to stall, and if he stalled too long they'd definitely catch on.
"Salem could be long gone. She could have saved herself and left you here."
Kaiba's alternate spoke, getting off the bed and sitting in a nearby chair, watching.
"First question, where is your device? Sala had a portable device that allowed her travel alternate realities, where is yours?"
Kaiba squirmed under Atem, who was still mercilessly dry humping him.
Alternate Kaiba sighed and cleared his throat. Atem stopped his motions and rolled his eyes. He released Kaiba's wrists and got off of him, walking to sit on his Kaiba's lap.
Kaiba sat up and rubbed his wrists, he came to a realization.
"Aren't you worried I'll open a portal and escape?"
They smirked at at him, making his skin crawl. His twin spoke first.
"You won't leave without her."
"Yes...you're in love with that snake, you poor fool…" Atem added.
Love?
What?
How do they…
"What do you mean?"
Alternate Kaiba raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
"Mmmm, it's easy to see. It's natural that you've become attached. Even having her as a pet, it's difficult to resist her. And, guessing by the way you gawked at Atem, he chose for his spirit to move on after his duel with little Yugi Mutou?"
Kaiba froze and stared at his doppelganger. He let his eyes wander to the gun in Atem's hand, wondering if he could disarm him somehow.
"You try anything, we kill your bitch." Atem said, cocking the gun.
"Where is the device?" His alternate repeated.
Kaiba thought quickly and fidgeted with his Kaiba Corp belt.
"It's here. It's my belt buckle."
His alternate set his lips in a tight line, eyeing the belt.
"Take it off."
Kaiba slowly unbuckled his belt, and slipped it out of the loops. Atem gazed at him hungrily, running a hand down his Kaiba's chest.
God, this version of Atem was insatiable. Kaiba would have been turned on if it weren't for the simple fact that this Atem was a stranger to him.
"Give it here."
Kaiba stood up and slowly walked over to his twin.
Shit.
He had to think of something before they figured out it's just a metal belt buckle.
He handed over his belt, only to be pulled closer by Atem. He grabbed him by the loose waist of his pants, and held the gun to his groin.
"No funny, business, Seto-chan"
Atem got off of his Kaiba's lap and kneeled in front of Kaiba, gun still close to his privates.
The alternante Kaiba stood and inspected the belt, feeling around the metal expecting to find some sort of button or switch. When he found none, he growled and threw the belt on the floor.
"Ha! I should have known you were lying. It's what I would have done. Atem, have your fun." He said, going to open the door, only to have it kicked into his face forcefully.
The sound of his nose cracking and him falling to the floor in pain, sprung Atem to his side.
Sala entered first, tackling Atem and wrestling the gun from him. Salem rushed in toward Kaiba, only to be pulled down by his twin, bleeding from the middle of his face.
Kaiba ran to Salem and pulled her up, backing them away from the altercation between Sala and Atem. They were clawing, biting and scratching, both trying to get of hold of the gun.
His doppelganger stood up and wavered, stumbling towards Kaiba and Salem.
Kaiba heard the gun click and fire.
Alternate Kaiba felt to the floor, bleeding from the left side of his chest.
Sala pulled Atem by his hair next to his Kaiba and threw him on the floor. She stepped over the alternate Kaiba's now dead body, and sat in the chair that was across from the bed. She pointed the gun at Atem, smirking triumphantly.
"Time's up, Prince." Sala said, cocking the gun.
Atem groveled at Sala's feet, kissing her toes.
"Please, Sala, please spare me. I really did love you.."
Sala scoffed. She leaned back in the plush chair, and kicked Atem across the face as she crossed her legs.
He held his bleeding lip and gave Salem one last look of sorrow before she said,
"No honor among thieves, mish kida?"
Salem tugged on Kaiba's arm, she lead him to the door and he hesitated, looking back at Atem on his knees, begging the woman he's been sexually violating for years, for his life.
"Tanin, let's go. Now." She whispered, pulling him out of the room.
As they sprinted down the hallway, Kaiba heard a lone gun shot. He slowed and then stopped.
Salem was right.
The multiverse was dangerous.
"Tanin, snap out of it." She said, grabbing his face and forcing him to look into her eyes.
"He'd still be alive if we hadn't come here." Kaiba said, his voice wavering.
"And Sala would still be a leader turned sex slave. She can overthrow the powers that be, and balance the world again. If your alternate and Atem stayed alive, millions of people would stay enslaved, now they have a chance."
Kaiba grabbed Salem's hand and breathed.
"Okay, okay let's go home."
They ran out of the palace, not looking back. Kaiba watched Salem's jacket billow in the wind, realizing she must have tools and gadgets in there.
"So that's how she got out."
Salem stopped and pointed the watch at the ground, the portal forming quickly. She took Kaiba's hand in hers, and they jumped in, together.
