Chapter Fourteen: First Valentine

Joey volunteered to watch over Seto as he recovered, since Mokuba had to go back to college. Yami called every now and then to check on them and also gave Yugi a chance to talk with Seto and Joey. On the Monday before Valentine's Day, Yami decided to give Seigyoku a call. The phone rang three times before someone answered. "Hello?" a male voice said.

"Is Seigyoku there?" Yami asked.

"No!" the voice said forcefully. It was followed by a cracking sound and a loud thud. Yami looked at the phone confusingly.

"Hi Yami!" he heard.

"Sei?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said. Before he could even ask, she answered "That was my brother, Gohan, on the phone. The cracking noise was me breaking his glasses when I punched him and then the thud was him falling to the floor." Yami fell silent. Afterwards, he sighed heavily.

"Sei," he said "I want to talk to you about something." Seigyoku frowned. As Gohan got up, he looked at Seigyoku worriedly.

"Okay," she said nervously.

"We've been going out for a while now," he said. "And I was wondering…" He trialed off. He took a deep breath and finished. "If you would like to come live with me." There were three seconds of silence, then Seigyoku let out the loudest squeal Yami had ever heard. He held the phone an arm's length away and still heard her loud and clear.

"Yes!" she said over and over excitedly. "What time?" she asked. Before Yami could answer, she said "Is five good?"

"Sure…" Yami managed to say.

"Love you!" she said excitedly before hanging up. Yami blinked and hung up the phone. He began to walk to the stairs. "Yugi!" he called before going upstairs. Yugi opened his door and saw Yami approaching.

"Yeah daddy?" he said. Yami picked him up and walked into his room.

"We need to talk." He said. Yugi frowned nervously.

"What did I do?" he asked. Yami hugged him as he sat down on the bed.

"Nothing," he reassured. "Listen," he continued. Yugi looked up at Yami. Yami sighed again. "I know you don't like Seigyoku very much," he explained. Yugi blinked then frowned.

"She doesn't like me," Yugi said looking away. Now Yami was confused.

"Yes she does," Yami said gently. Yugi shook his head.

"She didn't finish," he said. Yami looked at him suspiciously.

"Did finish what?" Yami asked. Before Yugi could answer, Yami heard the doorbell. "Be right back," he said. He put Yugi down and went downstairs. He looked at him watch; 2:00 pm. Seigyoku still had three hours left. He opened the door and no one was there. He blinked and stepped outside to look around. Blinking again, he went back inside and back up the stairs to Yugi's room. Before opening the door he heard Yugi giggle and say "I love you." Slowly, Yami opened the door and stepped in. "Okay," Yami said, catching his son's attention. Yugi smiled at him. Yami sat back down on the bed and Yugi crawled into his lap. "Yugi, my point is," Yami continued. "I've asked Seigyoku to come live with us and I want her to be happy here, okay?" Yugi nodded. "Also you need to respect her." Yami added. "Remember what I told you?" Yugi nodded again.

"You said to call her 'Ms. Seigyoku'." Yugi answered. Yami nodded. They were both silent. "Are you gonna marry Ms. Seigyoku?" Yugi asked spontaneously. Yami blinked and gave him a weird look.

"Where…? Who told you that?"

"My teacher," Yugi answered. Yami blinked. "My teacher said that you go on a date, then go live with them, then you get married." Yami was still silent. "Are you?" Yugi asked again.

"Uh," Yami started. "Yugi, I can't tell you that right now."

"Why?" the curious toddler asked.

"Because…" Yami said. "Because something could happen; like we could split up or she could move away or…"

"Or she could die?" Yugi asked. Yami blinked.

"Yugi," he said sternly. "Don't even wish death on someone, understand?" Yugi blinked, then nodded.

"Daddy?" Yugi asked looking up at his father.

"Hm?" Yami asked looking down into Yugi's eyes.

"Can we go get a snack?" Yugi asked. Yami smiled and nodded. He picked up Yugi and headed for the kitchen. Yami fixed some ice cream for both of them. As they sat at the table and ate, the teased and laughed at each other.

Later, while Yami was cleaning those dishes, the doorbell ran. He dried his hands and answered the door. "Hi Yami!" Seigyoku said, holding her suit case. Yami smiled and took the suit case from her.

"You're a little early." Yami said as she walked in.

"Yeah well," she started. "It was either come early or face my mother's crying spree." Yami blinked. Seigyoku continued. "But anyways, glad to be here!" Yami smiled again. "Can I ask you something?" Seigyoku asked with a worried look. Before she could ask, a large, orange tabby cat came inside and sat in front of Yami's feet. Yami blinked at it. It let out a long meow. "Uh, Yami," Seigyoku said. "Meet Kiwi." Yami blinked again.

"Kiwi?" he asked. Seigyoku nodded.

"Named after the fruit; not the bird." She added, as she picked him up. "Can he stay?" Seigyoku asked.

"I don't know…" Yami said nervously.

"He's really social," Seigyoku said.

"He's tamed?" Yami asked. Seigyoku nodded. "He won't hurt Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Not at all!" she reassured. Yami sighed in defeat and nodded. "Thank you!" Seigyoku said, giving Yami a hug. "Kiwi will be on his best behavior!"

"He's your responsibility." Yami told her.

"I know!" she said. Yami carried her suitcase upstairs, to the bedroom, and put it next to closet until she was ready to unpack. "So where's my room?" she asked, walking into the room. Yami blinked.

"Uh, Sei…" he said. "We're supposed to share a room, a bed, you know?" Seigyoku fell silent. "Unless you believe in the 'old-fashioned couple'…" Yami asked.

"No!" Seigyoku said. "It's just that you're my first really serious relationship and I never got this far before." Yami slowly walked over to Seigyoku. He hugged her.

"I'll make you as comfortable as possible." Yami said. Seigyoku smiled and hugged Yami as she leaned on his chest. They looked at each other and slowly leaned into to kiss. "AH!" Yami yelled in pain. Both looked down and saw Kiwi attacking Yami's leg.

"Kiwi!" Seigyoku said as she picked up the cat. "Don't do that!" she said sternly. She flicked him on the nose. Yami stared at her. "That's how I punish him!" she said. Yami glared at the cat. "Say you're sorry!" Seigyoku said to Kiwi. She held Kiwi up to Yami's face. Kiwi hissed at Yami and scratched his nose.

"Ow!" Yami said. He turned away and went to his bathroom to tend to his 'injuries'.

"Kiwi!" Seigyoku scolded. She put him down and Kiwi walked off to explore the house. Seigyoku walked to the bathroom and saw Yami looking in the mirror. "He doesn't usually do that…" she explained.

"Well he better not do that to Yugi!" Yami threatened. "Or he's out!"

Yugi sat on his bed reading a children's book. As he was turning the colorful pages, he heard his door creak open. He looked up from the book and saw no one there. Blinking he went back to the book. "Meow," Yugi put the book down and saw an orange tabby cat standing on his bed. He was staring at him with green eyes. Yugi blinked.

"Kitty?" he said as he reached out to pet it.

"Where is that monster anyways?" Yami asked.

"Who?" Seigyoku said. "Yugi?" Yami glared at her. "Oh!" she said "Kiwi, I don't know." They both got up to go look for the cat, but Yugi came into the room with Kiwi following him.

"Daddy!" Yugi said. "Look, it's a kitty!" Kiwi let out a meow.

"An evil kitty," Yami said, glaring at it. Seigyoku glared at him. Kiwi meowed again, then stood up on his hind legs, put his two front paws on Yugi's shoulders, and gently pushed his head on Yugi's cheek. Yugi giggled.

"Aw!" Seigyoku said. "How cute is that!"

"Not very," Yami answered. Again, Seigyoku glared at him.

"What do you have against pets?" Seigyoku asked.

"They're a heartbreak waiting to happen!" Yami argued.

"No!" Seigyoku said. "They're cute, fun, and energetic." As Yami and Seigyoku had they're quarrel, Yugi sat down and played with Kiwi on the bed. It was his laughter that made Yami and Seigyoku stop. "You like Kiwi, right Yugi?" Seigyoku asked sweetly. Yugi nodded. Yami rolled his eyes as Seigyoku smiled smugly at him.

"Whatever," Yami said. He headed downstairs and decided to start cooking supper. Yami enjoyed playing with Kiwi while Seigyoku unpacked her stuff. Once she was done, she went downstairs. She saw Yami cooking at the stove. She smiled at walked over to him. She leaned on his shoulder gently.

"Thanks for inviting me…" she said. Yami smiled at her.

"You're welcome," he said. He kissed her forehead gently. She smiled as she moved her hand to his and held it. Yami turned away from the stove and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. She smiled and rested her head on his chest. Again, Yami kissed her forehead. Soon their lips gently met the others…but the moment didn't last long since Kiwi attacked Yami's let again.

For the rest of the week, Yami had to deal with Kiwi's random attacks, while Yugi enjoying the cat's company. On Valentine's Day, Yami gave Seigyoku a grocery shopping list. "You don't go shopping much do you?" Seigyoku asked, looking at the two-columned list. Yami chuckled.

"I never really had the time." he explained. Seigyoku smiled and put the list in her purse.

"Okay," she said. "I'll be back later." Before she turned to leave, Yami gave her a quick good-bye kiss. She smiled and left. Once Yami heard the car drive away, he went upstairs to Yugi's room. Yugi smiled when he saw his dad.

"Ready to go? Yami asked. Yugi nodded excitedly and grabbed his small duffle bag from under his bed. Yami then drove Yugi to Kaiba Mansion. Seto greeted him at the door. "Thanks so much," Yami said to him.

Seto just smiled and said "You deserve a night off."

"More like a night on!" Joey said as he came down the stairs. Yami glared at him, which made Joey burst into laughter, then he looked down at Yugi.

"Be good, okay?" Yami said.

"I will daddy." Yugi reassured. Yami smiled, kissed Yugi on the cheek, and left. Then he when to the local flower shop and picked up some roses.

Seigyoku put the groceries in the backseat of her car, then got in. She sighed as she started the car. "The register had to break on my turn!" She started to turn into traffic, but another car came speeding by. "It's called the speed limit asshole!" She yelled to herself. Once she did get home, she could have been more annoyed. "Yami!" she said. No answer, she continued. "Next time you need groceries, go get them yourself! Traffic sucks around here!" There was still no answer. Angry with that, Seigyoku walked into the kitchen and put the groceries on the table. "YAMI!" she shouted. Still no answer. She huffed in anger; then she noticed a red rose on the counter. She blinked then picked it up. A note was under it. She picked it up. It said "Go upstairs ♥". Seigyoku smiled to herself. "I like this game," she said out loud.

She quickly went upstairs. She walked into the bedroom. "Yami?" She asked as she walked into the room. She saw a cute black dress lying on the bed. Blinking at it, she walked to the bed and held it up. "I'm only wearing this for you," she said aloud, hoping Yami would hear. She quickly got out of her clothes, and slipped it on. She then noticed another rose was lying on the pillow. She walked over to it. This one read "Go to the bathroom ♥". She walked over to the bathroom and saw some black heeled shoes. "Okay," she said aloud. She obviously knew to put them on. "I'm only doing this for you," she said aloud again. She saw another rose and note taped to the bathroom mirror. This note said "Head downstairs ♥"

She left the room and when she got to the stairs, she saw a small box on the first stair. She walked over to it and opened it. She gasped a sapphire necklace and bracelet shined back at her. She quickly put them on and went downstairs. She looked around the living room and saw nothing special, so she headed to the kitchen. There, she saw three candles lit in the middle of the table along with a set table and food. She walked closer to get a better look.

"You're beautiful." She heard a deep voice say. She smiled as Yami stepped out of the dark corner.

"How long did you plan this?" she asked. Yami wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed Seigyoku quickly.

"Never mind that," he said smiling. "Sit." Seigyoku smiled and sat down. Yami sat down opposite from her. Seigyoku looked down at the food.

"This is the food we ordered on our first date?" she asked.

"Yep," Yami answered.

"You don't miss much do you?" Seigyoku asked with a smile.

" I just have a good memory." Yami said, staring at her beauty. Seigyoku noticed this and blushed, which Yami thought made her look cute. They started to eat and continued with conversation as if they were on their first date again.

During the dinner, Seigyoku asked, "Where's Yugi?"

"Kaiba's," Yami answered quickly.

"Where's Kiwi?" She asked. Yami said nothing. He slyly raised an eyebrow. "Yami!" Seigyoku said worriedly, knowing her boyfriend and her pet had a rivalry.

"Relax," Yami said. "I didn't kill him…unfortunately." Seigyoku glared at him. "He's just pinned up in an empty guest room; food and all."

"Kay," Seigyoku said satisfied. They continued with their dinner. Once it was over, Yami put the dishes in the sink and looked at Seigyoku. "That was great," she said. "Very romantic," she added with a smile. Yami raised an eyebrow and smiled slyly. With one quick blow, all the candles were out and they were in pitch black. "Yami?" Seigyoku said with a blink. She fell silent when she felt Yami softly and slowly slipped his arms around her waist. "Ya—?" She started to say, but was interrupted by Yami's gentle kiss. She let out a soft sigh when it was over. Yami kissed her neck, then her cheek. Once Yami felt Seigyoku relax in her hold, he gently pulled her upstairs. Seigyoku was only guided by Yami, since the whole house was dark. Slowly, they both walked up the stairs and into the bedroom…

Yami kissed Seigyoku again once they were sitting on the bed. This time, he glided his tongue across her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Slowly and hesitantly, she gave him access. He pulled Seigyoku closer. She started to wrap her arms around Yami's neck. They made out until air became an issue. They pulled apart for oxygen, but stayed in each other's hold. As they took a break, Yami kissed Seigyoku's neck again. Seigyoku sighed softly, trying not to disturb Yami. She felt his hand glide down her back, then her side, and to her ankle. Then, with a flick of his wrist, her shoe was off. He did the same thing to her other side. Once that was done, without warning, Yami pulled Seigyoku closer and kissed her more deeply than ever before. As he started to unzip the back of her dress, Seigyoku started to unbutton his shirt. Seigyoku finished first; Yami rolled his shoulders back and his shirt fell to the floor. They both sighed gently. Yami slipped his hands on Seigyoku's shoulders and pulled down the top to her dress. They stopped kissing again for another short break. They looked deep into each others eyes. Yami leaned forward and Seigyoku started to lie down. Now, with Yami on top of her, he pulled off the rest of her dress. They started to make out for while, then Seigyoku started to undo Yami's pants. Once she was finished, she pulled them down to his knees and Yami took them off. Seigyoku went down and kissed Yami's neck. While she was doing that, Yami took off her bra. When finished, he gently ran his fingers down her back. She shivered with excitement. Again, they stopped to look deep in each others eyes…asking the same question. Yami kissed Seigyoku's cheek gently. With that, they removed their own underwear and let their bodies become one.
