Only in Tokyo

Author's note: Sorry it's been so long, I've been rather busy with graduating high school, work, friends, and so on and so on. (Plus typing is my mortal enemy right up there with potato cakes.) Well anyway thank you for still reading this even if you're never sure when I'll update. Big thanks to all reviewers thus far! I love to hear from you and it helps spur my lazy butt on. Well enough from me and on with the story. Here goes:
Seto woke up first the next morning. He kissed Joey's forehead waking him. "Morning."
"Morning." Joey smiled.
Getting out of bed they got dressed. Joey in a maroon shirt with a dragon and black jeans. Seto wore a black shirt with a skull with die for eyes. Going to the lobby they were surprised to see Akira with the group.
"What are you doing here?" Joey asked.
"Oh. Well I'll be leaving soon so I wanted some pictures." Akira said holding up her camera.
Yugi smiled. "So you want Duke to take them?"
"Uh," She frowned a little but nodded.
"Then let's go." Mokuba smiled.
When they arrived at the Blue Temple, Duke was waiting.
"Hey Guys." Duke greeted them.
"Hey Duke take some pictures." Joey blurted.
"Huh?" Duke gave him a confused look.
"Oh I was wanting some pictures." Akira explained holding up her camera.
"Oh okay." Duke took her camera. "Now get together." They formed a group Mokuba and Akira i8n front followed by Yugi and Téa, Serenity and Tristan to the left and Seto and Joey to the left. "Alright." Duke took two pictures. "Now Mokuba put your arm around her waist and Akira put an arm around his waist."
Mokuba complied pulling her closer Akira didn't move turning red.
"Y-You m-mean I" Akira stopped talking when Mokuba put her hand on his waist.
"It's fine." Mokuba smiled and Duke took the picture.
Akira made sure to get a picture with just her and Mokuba, then with just Seto and Joey, and even one with Duke and the others. "Thanks Duke." Akira took her camera. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Joey and Seto hugging and turned quickly snapping a photo. She managed to get them kissing as they held each other. 'I'll definitely send them some.'
Seto pulled back from Joey's lips and whispered in his ear. "Want to go to a movie later?"
"That sounds nice." Joey was barely able to think with Seto's proximity.
Akira snapped one last picture before they parted. "Mokuba look." She held out her camera, it was digital, with the screen set to the pictures.
"That's a good one." Mokuba smiled, it was the picture of Joey and Seto kissing.
"That's a good one." Mokuba smiled, it was the picture of Joey and Seto kissing.
Seto and Joey started walking towards their duel arenas. Mokuba grabbed Akira's wrist and they followed Seto.
"How cute." Téa sighed.
"Yeah, too bad she lives here." Duke said shaking his head.
"Um Mokuba" Akira started. "do you think you could teach me how to duel?" She continued when he looked at her.
Mokuba smiled brightly. "Of course!" Taking their seats Mokuba explained everything that was going on as the duel started. Akira nodded or asked a few questions.
After Seto's duel which was a short one they went to watch Joey's where Mokuba was better able to explain things. After Joey's duel they met up outside the temple.
"So what now?" Akira asked.
"Well I'm hungry." Joey stated as his stomach growled.
Sighing Seto turned to Akira and Mokuba. "Where would you like to eat?"
"Oh that's okay Kaiba," Akira started.
"Call me Seto." Seto said surprising them but they said nothing.
"Seto…I'm not hungry." Akira said her stomach letting out a loud growl.
"I see." Seto said.
"Let's just get some food." Joey whined. So they went to a nearby McDonald's and ate brunch.
"So what do you think of the game?" Mokuba asked. "Would you like to try?"
"I don't have any cards." Akira blushed slightly.
"That's okay, we'll get you some." Mokuba assured her.
"But I don't have much." Akira took out her money. 'They didn't let me pay for my food either.'
"That's alright." Seto said a little coldly, he was rather fond of her already since Mokuba rather liked her. "We'll get it."
"I can't let you do that! I'll pay." Akira protested freaking out and blushing.
"Don't worry he can afford to buy you a deck thousands of times over." Joey said a little jealous, placing a hand on her arm.
"But…" Akira tried to protest again.
"No buts. It's already decided." Mokuba sounded a little like Seto.
"So let's go make a deck." Joey said finishing his food.
They went to the same card shop that started it all. They looked around and explained everything to Akira that she didn't know.
Akira wanted to give something back to them but she didn't know what.
"I'll construct your deck. You pick out something you want." Mokuba said giving her a 'Don't argue with me' look. "What type of deck would you like?"
"Whatever type the Feral Imp is." Akira smiled.
"Okay, that's fiends or dark types." Seto said. "You two go look around. We'll handle this."
Akira saw a bunch of monster plushies. "So cute!" She squealed running over to pick up a Kuriboh. She held it up to Mokuba. "This reminds me of you."
"Hmm." Mokuba rummaged a bit. "This one reminds me you." He held up a Feral Imp plush.
"You okay with this?" Joey asked watching the scene unfold.
"Like I have a choice?" Seto shot trying to ignore what was going on.
"Okay." Joey shrugged smiling.
"Oh look a Blue-Eyes!" Mokuba shouted so the whole store heard him.
"Oh Red-Eyes!" Akira shouted hugging it to her. "Joey has a Red-Eyes and Kaiba has Blue-Eyes right?" Mokuba nodded. "Then let's…."
"We're done." Joey came walking up.
Akira snatched the plushies and held them out. "Look Joey, Seto."
Taking the Blue-Eyes Seto looked it and had a sudden urge to squeeze the living daylights out of it. 'Resist….Resist.' But that didn't work so well. Seto held the plushie to his chest. No one laughed like thought they would except Joey. Seto went to glare at him but saw it wasn't at him but as he cuddled the Red-Eyes plush.
Joey settled down. "I can't believe they made a vicious dragon like Red-Eyes look so damned cute!"
Seto chuckled. 'He's right. How do they do it?'
"So are you two ready?" Mokuba asked.
"Yeah." Joey answered. "Hey Seto you think we could get these?" Joey asked.
Seto nodded. "Sure. Are you two ready?"
"Not yet." Mokuba answered.
"We'll be back at the counter then." Seto and Joey walked off. "Joey I have some work to catch up on so can you stay in your room tonight?" Seto looked over at him. "It's not that I don't want you there, you're just so….distracting."
"I hope you enjoy your distractions." Joey said playfully.
"Thoroughly." Seto frowned. "Just not when I can't give in, like now."
"Why not? What's a few more stares?" Joey smiled seductively.
"You know maybe you should come." Seto pulled Joey to him.
"But don't you need to get your work done?"
"We'll see if you still have that attitude when we get back. Because then I won't be able to spend too much time away from work."
"Wrong! I'm setting up a schedule." Joey countered.
"Who says I'll follow it?" Seto smirked. 'A schedule? Who's helping him?'
"I do. You have underlings right? So why not give them more work?" Joey demanded to know.
"Like I trust them?"
"Why not hire someone you trust?"
"Because the only ones I trust are Mokie, you, Yugi if only a little, and myself."
Joey thought a moment. "So let me help." Joey said seriously.
Seto debated the issue. 'I could use the help but…' "Fine. I'll start teaching you tonight. But I should warn you, I won't go easy on you. Because I care about you I might push you harder." Seto's cold blue eyes pierced Joey's soft honey ambers.
"I understand." Joey smiled.
"So do you still want to work for me?" Seto asked.
"Of course, if I can do the work."
"We'll find out tonight."
"So no fooling around?" Joey pouted.
"No, no fooling around." Seto had to look away to not give in. "Wonder what's taking Mokie?" Seto changed the subject.
"It's sad Mokuba totally loves that girl." Joey sighed.
The two came up carrying an arm full of plushies each a moment later. Mokuba had insisted Akira get a few. "Sorry to keep you." Mokuba smiled as they placed their plushies on the counter.
"Here I'll pay." Seto stopped Akira from digging out some money. "Joey why don't you go get a cab."
Joey nodded doing as he was told taking Mokuba and Akira with him.
"I don't think we've sold this much at once in awhile, or this expensive." The clerk/manager said looking at all the merchandise.
"I'd like to order two Red-Eyes plushies to be delivered to Kaiba Mansion in Domino. Can you do that?"
'Kaiba Mansion? Is this Kaiba?' The clerk met Seto's eyes and almost had a heart attack. 'It's…it's Seto Kaiba!' "Of course we can. But our next shipment isn't until next week."
"That's fine. How much?" Seto asked and paid. Turning to leave the clerk called him to him.
"Wait, for your large purchase please take a plushie." Seto picked up a Feral Imp and left.
Outside Joey was standing next to a cab. Akira was up front with her window down.
"Here." Seto handed her the deck and plushies. Getting in he handed Mokuba his plushies and explained about the extra one as Joey got in.
Next they went to a movie, Mokuba and Akira going to a less violent one than Seto and Joey. Towards the beginning of the movie Seto went to get popcorn.
While Seto was on his way to the front the he saw a man swinging a pendant, the movies were about to begin so they were the only ones there. Though he tried he couldn't take his eyes away from the pendant as the man approached. The closer the pendant came the harder it was to look away, and Seto fell into a trance.
"When you leave Tokyo you will forget your feelings for Joey Wheeler, You forget everything you have done with him." The pendant swung over and over.
The man's over powering voice echoed in his head and he nodded even though his mind was screaming in protest. 'Nooo!' But that part was shoved where he couldn't hear it. Seto's mind resisted violently to the commands but was no match for him for he was an expert.
"When I snap my fingers you shall forget this encounter." Seto nodded. "Remember when you leave Tokyo no sooner, no later." The man snapped his fingers as he walked away.
Seto felt different as he ordered the popcorn. The feeling wasn't very strong. But when he walked back into the movie and sat down next to Joey he felt something was wrong. 'Something's wrong. I feel like I'm going to lose him, no like he'll be taken away.' Seto didn't know why he felt that way but he didn't like it.
"What took you?" Joey asked shoving his mouth full of popcorn.
"There was a line." Seto said tasting the popcorn he was offered.
After the movie Mokuba and Akira went shopping with Téa. After dropping off the kids Seto and Joey took a stroll in the park.
"We still have a month or so of school left when we get back. How do you think that will go? I mean won't your fans go ballistic?" Joey asked a little worried.
Seto grabbed Joey's hand kissing it. "It'll be fine. My 'fans' will just have to adjust. I'm more worried about what your fans, Mai and Duke will do."
"Well Duke's taking it pretty well. But Mai…"
Seto found it irritating to hear Joey say her name, he wasn't going to share.
"Oh well she'll get over it." Joey shrugged it off. "I'm worried I'll get mobbed by your fans at school."
"No, they wouldn't dare because they know if they touched even one hair on your head they would be drowned in lawsuits. Or that any attention they were hoping to get would be beyond thought.
"Point taken. They've seen how you are when it's your brother, just think if it's your lover, it's be just as bad." Joey frowned.
"Maybe worse, depending on intentions. To harm you is one thing, but if they planned to steal you away…" That feeling flared up threatening to consume him.
"Heaven help the moron that would try to get in your way." Joey put a hand up defensively. There was a loud growl.
"Was that your stomach?" Seto gave him a strange look.
"Yeah." Joey grinned sheepishly.
"We just ate!" Seto looked at Joey in disbelief.
"It's not my fault!" Joey argued.
Seto just smirked pulling him into a kiss.
"Once Kaiba forgets his feelings for Joey, Joey will need a shoulder to cry on. That's where I come in." Mai said like a super villain from the classics.
"I think you need help." The hypnotist sighed.
"Give me the details." She demanded ignoring him.
"Well, I caught him off guard so it should have worked. But there are risks involved…" Mai glared at him causing him to swallow loudly. 'She's crazy. Why did I agree to this again?'
"Risks?" She hissed.
"Yes, risks. Since he wasn't aware it cut through his defenses, but now his offense will kick in. His mind will fight it and if his feelings are as strong as he thinks he'll win, but not necessarily remember. Or there is the slight chance he will remember on his own or with help."
"I get the whole offense thing, that's not a problem his feelings are weak. But how can he remember on his own?"
"Well certain things may trigger his memory or if he starts to care for Joey as strongly as he does now. There are many different ways."
"So what's the greatest risk?" Mai asked thoughtfully.
"That Kaiba has the advantage. We had an advantage of surprise but that's nothing to his mental ablities."
"We'll see about that."
"Alright let's get a snack. I think I saw a tea shop nearby." Seto suggested heading back to the tea shop. Once they were inside he ordered the tea and snacks and took a seat in the back of the shop. "We'll start your training here." Seto said pulling out his laptop. Joey turned out to be a quick study when it came to computers so it didn't take as long as expected. "If you're going to help me you're going to need a laptop as well." Seto commented as they left the shop. Seeing Joey's downcast, 'I'm too poor for that look' he chuckled. "I'll get it for you."
Joey smiled. "That's okay." 'I can't let him get everything.'
"I want to." Seto insisted until Joey gave in.
"Okay." Joey sighed. "Do you think they have green ones?"
"I'm sure they do." Seto frowned as that feeling made itself known again. Sure enough Joey was able to get a green laptop, it was the same color as his jacket on Duelist Island.
The clerk smiled. "It's rare to get an order for green, you're lucky we have one." She batted her lashes at him.
Seto didn't like this as he snuck up behind him. Wrapping an arm around his waist he shot the clerk a glare that clearly said 'mine'.
Joey smiled as if Seto had been there the whole time and the clerk just hadn't noticed.
She took a step back under his cold glare. "I'll go get it." With that she disappeared behind a door.
Joey looked over at Seto and saw the possessive look in his eyes. "You don't need to worry. I don't know why you are, it's not like she was flirting or anything."
Seto looked at him. 'He's serious?' He mussed with Joey's hair. "You really are stupid Mutt."
Joey opened his mouth to protest but wasn't given a chance as Seto clamped his mouth over his. "Mmmnhm…"
"Here you…" The clerk's eyes widened at what was before her. The brunette's hand was pulling up the blonde's shirt his hands caressing the sculptured abs as he went all the while kissing him passionately. 'So hot!! I shouldn't be watching this….but I can't look away.'
Joey grabbed a handful of Seto's hair letting out a small moan.
Breaking for air Seto noticed the clerk enjoying the show. Leaning down to Joey's ear he nibbled it a little whispering. "She's back."
Joey turned crimson instantly jumping out of Seto's arms lowering his shirt. "Sorry." He said not looking at her.
"It's alright." 'Keep going.' The clerk handed them the laptop and they paid leaving a flustered and now horny store clerk.
When they left they met up with everyone at the hotel to eat their last dinner in Tokyo.
As they sat around the table talking Joey felt it was time to tell them. "Everyone I've got something to tell." Joey blushed as they turned towards him, Seto took his hand. "I'll be moving in with Seto when we get back."
"OMG!" Téa and Serenity squealed happily. The others were either smiling or speechless. As the food arrived the announcement was dismissed. After eating they made their way back to their rooms.
"This is our last night here and our work is done, so we'd better start packing. I'll visit you later." Seto told Joey on the way to their rooms.
Joey nodded going into his room where he began packing. He didn't have much, it was just everywhere. So it didn't take too long.
Seto on the other hand was done in minutes having barely unpacked to begin with. Going over to Joey's he snuck in the open door coming up behind Joey, who didn't notice him as he put clothes away. He made him jump as he wrapped an arm around his waist, breathing on the back of his neck making the hair stand.
"God you scared me Seto." Joey gasped as Seto laid his head on his shoulder.
"God you scared me Seto." Joey gasped as Seto laid his head on his shoulder.
Kissing his neck lightly Seto whispered his name his breath playing over Joey's skin. "We should get to work." Joey nodded and they settled down to work, Seto doing the work because Joey didn't have the programs yet, while Joey figured out his laptop. Finishing in no time Seto looked over at Joey. "Let's draw up a contract." He suggested.
"Okay." They typed up a contract for Joey's employment.
"Now let's close the deal." Seto kissed him as he shoved the laptops away, while laying Joey back on the bed. Breaking their kiss he pulled off his shirt trailing kisses to a nipple licking a circle around it a little before biting playfully making him moan as his hands played over his chest lightly.
Getting impatient Joey pulled at Seto's shirt a little until it was removed as well. Their heated skin now touching, pressing together unable to get enough. Joey's hands roamed over the well toned stomach and chest.
Seto smirked as he descended Joey's chest with nips, licks, and kisses. Reaching his pants he quickly yanked them off with his boxers. Ignoring the obvious erection he spread Joey's legs nipping at his inner thigh a little before slipping a finger in and licking up the bottom of his member taking it into his mouth as he fingered him, tweaking a nipple as well.
Joey moaned his body writhing under the attention as Seto kept it up. "God! Seto!" He moaned as Seto hit that spot.
Deeming him ready Seto released his own erection removing his fingers and mouth he lifted his legs and plunged in hard and fast hitting his prostrate.
"SETO!" Joey screamed grabbing his shoulders his nails almost digging in. As he began to thrust in and out Joey moaned and arched his back as his nipples were teased and his lips occupied.
Seto thrust harder and harder and deeper with every thrust until finally their set rhythm was gone and it was wild and hectic and damn was it great. Grunting Seto knew he wouldn't last much longer as he began to pump him along with the wild thrusts and plant kisses everywhere along his neck, his jaw, his chest leaving his mark in just as many places.
"SETO!" Joey screamed as they came together.
A few minutes later Seto pulled out and laid next to Joey that odd feeling overtaking him once more. Pulling him close he kissed his head gently. "Let's stay like this awhile."
And they did, later getting up and taking showers, each in their own room since Joey needed to finish packing.
