*sniffle* no reviews :'( Oh well XD

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kaiba had clearly gone all out for this party. It was strange. The CEO usually spent his time ignoring everyone else on the planet, not throwing parties for them.

Lights were laced into the framework of the main gate, following the drive up to the huge front doors.

He had transformed his enormous living room into a dance floor, lights illuminating it from every angle. The DJ booth was colossal, it was roughly the size of a large truck, with speakers scaling the sides. There were also additional speakers spread around the room, each was easily twice the size of a fully grown man.

A huge buffet table, spanning the entire length of the west wall, was heavily laden with food of different kinds and enough alcohol to fuel Dionysus for a lifetime.

Yugi and Ryou walked into the cavernous entrance hall, staring amazement.

Yugi was dressed in his usual, tight, deep blue trousers, a black tank top and so many belts that his bondage obsession was more than obvious. Ryou had opted for pale blue jeans and a white T-shirt with a deep blue stripe running down the right side. Ryou was wearing his black and white trainers, whereas Yugi was wearing heeled boots, allowing him the same height as Yami.

Tristan, Joey and Tea waved over at them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

At least an hour had passed since the start of the party and Bakura hadn't shown up yet. Ryou was curious. 'I thought he liked partying? He sure goes to enough with Marik and Malik.'

Yugi was eying Ryou curiously. He suspected the taller male was watching for his yami. Ryou hadn't told the group about his crush, however, Yugi had figured it out. Besides, he was dating his yami, so that had helped in identifying the signs.

Yami pulled at his arm, indicating that he wanted to dance. Yugi smiled and stood, Yami half-walking, half-dragging him to the dance floor.

Ryou sighed turning away from the door, watching his friends dancing. Joey and Tea were dancing and Tristan was dancing with some girl while looking distinctly uncomfortable.

Cheers and whoops came from the entrance hall. Marik and Malik were walking in with some guy that Ryou didn't know. His hair was jet black, a crimson headband keeping a small amount out of his face. His kohl-lined eyes were a gorgeous, deep jade colour. He was wearing tight, dark green jeans, a tight black sleeveless shirt, topped by a crimson blazer with the sleeves removed. Ryou had to admit, the guy was pretty hot.

Following the jade-eyed guy was Bakura. Ryou's jaw dropped. Bakura was dressed in hip-hugging, tight, black leather trousers, a deep black shirt buttoned only halfway, exposing his lean yet muscled chest. On his left wrist he wore a studded black wristband and on the pinky finger of his left hand he wore a thin silver band.

His outfit was simple but the effect was instant. Ryou was unable to look away, even if he had wanted to and he felt his cheeks flush. You could probably fry an egg on his face.

After a few minutes of staring, Ryou noticed the jade-eyed guy whisper something into Bakura's ear. Bakura grinned and the two rose to their feet. Ryou watched as they walked casually to the dance floor and began dancing. Ryou stared intently as Bakura's hips swayed to the beat.

His jaw dropped.

That guy had his hands all over Bakura! And Bakura wasn't doing anything to stop him.

Ryou sat frozen, staring at his yami in horror. He vaguely registered someone pulling him to his feet and dragging him into the throng of dancing people.

Once Bakura vanished from sight, he looked around and saw that it had been Seto Kaiba dragging him onto the dance floor. Kaiba was staring down at him with an odd expression.

'Well it would be rude to not dance with him.' He thought to himself before raising his arms and starting to move. He didn't notice Seto moving steadily closer until the CEO breathed into his ear. "Let's get some air."

Kaiba gently took his wrist and pulled him out of the room. They walked through a smaller room, which was still the size of the ground floor of Ryou's house, and through a large pair of double doors. They ended up in an enormous, meticulously gardened, courtyard. The shrubs and trees which lined the courtyard were all trimmed into the shapes of duel monsters, the largest being four blue-eyes white dragons, which stood at the four corners.

The fountain at the centre of the courtyard was a magnificent, marble masterpiece. It stood at about 7 feet and was intricately carved with every dragon type duel monster there was. There was even an effigy of Kaiba's Lord of Dragons.

"Do you like it?" Kaiba whispered softly.

Ryou nodded.

"This is probably my favourite place on the estate." He chuckled. "Must be all the dragons."

They walked past the fountain, the moonlight glittered off the surface of the water, casting a beautiful effect on the dragons.

As they reached a bench at the edge of the courtyard, Kaiba stopped and grabbed Ryou's arm, throwing him against the wall. He stepped forward, placing his hands either side of Ryou, blocking any escape.

"I've always wondered why no-one has ever claimed you. You're beautiful, yet no-one seems to see it." Kaiba lowered his head to whisper in Ryou's ear. "Well, I've noticed. And I'm going to claim you."

Ryou's eyes widened. "Kaiba, I-"

He was cut off as Kaiba pressed his lips to Ryou's, pinning him to the wall with his body.

Ryou made a protesting sound but Kaiba ignored it, running his tongue across Ryou's bottom lip. Ryou kept his mouth closed. Kaiba grinned and pried the unyielding lips open, forcing his tongue into Ryou's mouth, trying to coax Ryou's tongue into dancing with his own.

Ryou kept still as Kaiba continued to assault his mouth, until he noticed movement at the door to the courtyard. His eyes widened again when he saw Bakura staring at him.

Oh crap, make that staring at him and Kaiba.

He wore a strange expression, one Ryou couldn't place.

Kaiba stepped back, releasing Ryou. Tears filled Ryou's eyes as he tore his gaze from Bakura's. He flew through the double doors, Kaiba staring after him and Bakura turning in time to see tears in the hikari's eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi turned as Ryou flew throuth the room, tears noticibly glistening in his eyes. He detached himself from Yami and ran after his friend. He passed through the large front doors and began to follow Ryou down the drive.

He froze as a black-clad body sprang past.

Yugi hid behind a large bush.

"Ryou, stop!" Bakura yelled, siezing the hikari by the shoulders and spinning him around to face him.

Tears threatened to spill from the huge, brown eyes.

"What the hell was that?" Bakura snapped.

Ryou just shook his head, tears beginning to fall.

"Bakura glared. "Don't even try and deny it Ryou! I saw you kissing him!"

Yugi narrowed his eyes in confusion. 'Ryou? Kissing someone?'

"Normally I wouldn't care who you want to be fucked by in some creepy courtyard owned by a dragon obsessed asshole!" Bakura shouted. "But if said fucker is Kaiba-"

Ryou glared. "I didn't want him to kiss me!" Ryou screamed. "I don't even like Seto Kaiba!"

Yugi's mind was reeling. 'Bakura and Kaiba?'

"Why the hell were you kissing him in that Ra damned courtyard then?"

Ryou's tears still fell thick and fast. "As I said, I didn't want him to kiss me! He dragged me outside, shoved me against a wall and practically suffocated me with his tongue!"

Bakura drew his knife, looking angrier by the moment.

"And that damn knife! I don't even know why I bought the damn-" Ryou's eyes widened and he slapped his hands over his mouth. Bakura's look of fury turned to one of confusion.

"You bought this?" He stared at Ryou. "Why?"

Ryou lowered his hands slowly, eyes wide and locked on Bakura's.

"I-I-because...I got it...I-AH-!"

He was cut off as Yugi snuck around the bush, keeping well out of Bakura's sight, and gave Ryou a strong push.

Ryou fell forward, his squeak of surprise silenced as he landed on Bakura, their lips locked together. Both pairs of eyes widened in surprise.

Ryou closed his and kissed Bakura, the yami frozen in surprise, did not respond. Ryou pulled away and bit his lip nervously.

"I bought the knife because I..I love you." Ryou whispered.

Bakura's eyes widened again. "I-" He lowered his head sadly. "I have to go. Um, bye."

He turned and walked quickly down the drive and around the corner.

Oh teh noes!!! D8 (I have no idea what is wrong with the formatting on this)

Poor Ryou!

Bad Kaiba!

Cookies for anyone who guesses the jade-eyed stranger! (I'll be out of cookies pretty quick XD)

For those who are wondering, Dionysus was the greek god of wine.
