Sorry for the delay. The end of school is here for me, and I am loaded with school work. Next week is exams, so don't know how updating will go. I'll do the best I can.
The flirting isn't what I originally thought, but it seemed to work for the story.
Enjoy!
Chapter 13- Flirting
Yugi walked down the hall and sighed. He still was uneasy about Heba's idea of him flirting with Yami. The ideas that Ryou, Malik, Jou, and Heba had mentioned had really been too much for Yugi. 'I know that I am going to make a complete fool of myself.' Yugi thought.
"Hello, little one." Yami said.
Yugi turned to face Yami. "Oh. Hello, Yami." Yugi said.
"Hello. You're looking rather beautiful this morning." Yami said.
Yugi blushed lightly at that. "Thank you." Yugi said.
"Were you heading to breakfast?" Yami asked.
"Um, yes, I was." Yugi replied.
"Well, then. We should get going." Yami said. He took Yugi by the hand and led him down the hall to the dining room.
Yugi's blushed deepened at the fact that Yami was holding his hand.
The entered the dining room, and Yami let go of Yugi's hand as to not arouse suspicion. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing.
"Good morning, Yami. Yugi." Aknanaknon said.
"Good morning, Father." Yami said.
"Good morning, Pharaoh." Yugi said.
The two sat down to eat with Shada, Karim, Isis, Mahado, Aknankanon, Amara, and the council.
"Can I assume that we are not going to be seeing the others for a while?' Sereth asked.
"Probably not." Yami replied.
Aknankanon sighed. "Well, at least there are no meetings until the afternoon." Aknankanon said.
A moment later, Bakura and Ryou walked into the room.
"You know, I didn't think that we'd be seeing you guys for a while?" Yami said.
Ryou blushed.
"I can still function with little sleep." Bakura said with a smirk.
Ryou's blushed deepened.
Bakura and Ryou sat down with them to eat.
It wasn't long before the council, the priests, Aknankanon, and Amara left, so Yami, Yugi, Bakura, and Ryou were left alone.
"Bakura, I've heard that you're a good fighter. Is that true?" Yugi asked.
"Yep. I'm one of the best here." Bakura said egotistically.
Yami rolled his eyes. "Despite his boastful claims, he really is." Yami said.
"Why?" Ryou asked.
"Well, I need a training partner. I haven't been able tot rain with my Sais that much lately, and I could use a good training partner." Yugi said.
"Oh no! I saw what you did to those mercenaries, and there is no way that I am going to let that happen to me." Bakura said.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Bakura, I wouldn't do that to you for any reason unless you attacked me with the intent of killing me. I just want a training partner. It's just my skill. I won't use my magic." Yugi said.
"No way." Bakura said, crossing his arms stubbornly.
"Come on, Bakura. Surely you're no scared." Yami said, trying to goad Bakura into doing it.
"Not on your life!" Bakura said.
"Come on, Bakura. I would like to see that. You haven't trained in a while, and I like to watch you train. It's exciting somehow." Ryou said.
"You really think so?" Bakura asked.
Ryou nodded. "Yeah. I do. Come on. Train with Yugi." Ryou said.
"I'll get my sword." Bakura said, jumping and running out of the room.
"Thanks, Ryou." Yugi said.
"No problem. You won't hurt him, right?" Ryou asked.
"Ryou, the worst possible scenario is that he'll be so tired and sore that he won't want to move for about a week." Yugi said.
"Promise that. I could use a break at night.' Ryou said.
Yugi and Yami burst out laughing.
"You and Bakura fighting. I have to get the others to watch this." Yami said. He left the room as well.
"I knew I should have asked Bakura with no one else around." Yugi said.
Ryou smiled. "Don't worry. Bakura loves to be watched as he trains." Ryou said.
"Well, do you know where to go because those two left before I could ask." Yugi said.
"No problem. Follow me." Ryou said. He stood up, and Yugi followed him out.
Seth, Jou, Marik, Malik, Heba, and Atemu were thrilled with the thought of watching Bakura and Yugi train, and they had all gathered on the training grounds with Yami and Ryou.
"Yami, you could have kept your big mouth shut!" Bakura snapped.
"Like you don't enjoy it." Yami shot back.
"Could we get on with this?" Yugi asked, a gold glow surrounding his hands and his Sais formed.
"I thought you said no magic." Bakura said.
"Bakura, I won't use my magic. I just use it to call on my Sais. This is just about skill." Yugi said.
"Okay. That I can deal with." Bakura agreed.
It was then that two took up fighting stances.
Bakura charged at Yugi first and brought his sword down at Yugi. Yugi blocked the sword with his Sais and forced Bakura back. Yugi then struck out at Bakura with one of his Sais, bit Bakura ducked and swung out one leg, tripping Yugi up. Yugi managed to flip back and land on his feet before he charged back at Bakura. Bakura barely managed to block the Sais. He then forced Yugi back before bringing his sword down diagonally at Yugi, but Yugi crossed his Sais and blocked Bakura's sword.
"Wow. Yugi's an excellent fighter." Seth said, impressed. That was a very high praise from Seth as he never told anyone or acted like he was impressed with them.
"He should be. He was trained by Set, and you all know that Set is a highly skilled warrior. Set has said that Yugi was the best student he has ever had." Heba said.
"Were you trained by Set, too?" Atemu asked.
"Yes, but I was never as skilled as Yugi was or is." Heba replied.
Bakura ran at Yugi and struck out with his sword several times at Yugi, but dodged each blow easily. He then blocked one blow with his Sai and kicked Bakura in the stomach. Bakura stumbled back and had to duck to avoid one of Yugi's Sais. He the brought the hilt of his sword up and hit Yugi under his chin, causing Yugi to stagger backwards. Bakura went at him and struck at Yugi with his sword, but Yugi flipped backwards out of the way before he charged forward again at Bakura. Their weapons clashed once more.
Aknankanon and Amara arrived then and were surprised to find Yugi and Bakura training.
"They didn't get into an argument and are literally fighting it out, are they?" Amara asked.
"No. Yugi wanted a training partner to practice, and he asked Bakura since he had heard that Bakura was one of the best fighters here." Ryou replied.
Bakura brought his sword horizontally at Yugi, but Yugi moved back and then lashed out with his Sai. Bakura blocked the Sai and then moved back. Yugi charged at Bakura and brought his Sais across several times, and Bakura managed to block each blow. Bakura managed to jump over Yugi and strike to hit him from behind, but Yugi ducked and then kicked backwards, hitting Bakura in the chest, causing him to stumble. Yugi turned and brought both Sais down at Bakura, but Bakura blocked the Sais by holding his sword horizontally.
"Incredible. They are both remarkable fighters." Amara said.
"Yeah, and Bakura hasn't even warmed up yet." Marik said.
"I hate to tell you this, but Yugi hasn't either." Heba said.
Bakura forced Yugi back and brought his sword down vertically at Yugi, but Yugi blocked it with his Sais before he pushed Bakura backwards. Bakura ducked to avoid Yugi's Sai and rammed his shoulder into Yugi. Yugi fell backwards onto his back and then rolled to the side when Bakura brought his sword down at him. Yugi jumped up and kicked Bakura in the side, throwing Bakura to the side. Bakura jumped up and then charged at Yugi, bringing his sword down. Yugi moved back out of the way.
"I'm beginning to think that Yugi would be better suited as a soldier than a councilmember." Amara said.
"Well, at least we know that he could fight should the need arise in the throne room during one of the meetings." Aknankanon remarked.
Bakura charged at Yugi and brought his sword down at Yugi, but Yugi flipped backwards out of the way. Bakura charged again, but Yugi ducked to avoid the sword and kicked Bakura in the stomach. Bakura stumbled back and then ducked when Yugi came at him. Bakura blocked Yugi's Sais with his sword before he forced Yugi back and jumped up.
The two moved back away from each other. Both were sweating and breathing heavily from their fight.
"Whoa. No one's ever given Bakura this much trouble." Jou remarked.
Heba laughed. "I doubt that Bakura's ever gone up against the son of a god, either." Heba said.
Yami noticed how the sweat on Yugi's body seemed to make his skin glisten and had to fight the blush. 'Damn! I wish I had known that Yugi would look like this. Watching him fight is making me hot and bothered.' Yami thought, feeling himself getting aroused.
Yugi and Bakura charged at each other again. Their weapons collided again. Bakura began striking out with each blow and forcing Yugi to walk backwards. Before long, Yugi turned the tide and was striking out, making Bakura move backwards. Yugi made one strike that was so powerful that Bakura was thrown to the ground. Bakura jumped up and went back at Yugi. Yugi ducked to avoid the blow and kicked Bakura in the chest, throwing Bakura back. Bakura went back and brought his sword down at Yugi. Yugi blocked the sword and kneed Bakura in the stomach, knocking the wing out of Bakura. Yugi turned and rammed his elbow into Bakura's chest. Yugi then reached back and grabbed Bakura by the shoulder with one hand and his wrist of the same arm with the other hand and flipped Bakura over his shoulder, causing Bakura to slam into the ground on his back.
"Give up?" Yugi asked.
"Nope." Bakura said. He jumped up and kicked Yugi in the chest, throwing Yugi back. Bakura charged at Yugi and brought his sword at Yugi. Yugi blocked the sword and then pushed Bakura back. Bakura went back at Yugi and brought his sword at Yugi several times. Seeing an opening, Bakura tripped Yugi up and then kicked Yugi in the stomach, knocking Yugi to the ground.
"Surrender?" Bakura asked.
"Not a chance." Yugi said. He jumped back up.
Bakura went at Yugi and struck at him. Yugi blocked each blow before he jumped up and kicked Bakura in the chest. Bakura managed to hit Yugi and knock him down at the same time. The two turned and brought their weapons at each other, causing them to clash. Yugi and Bakura struck at each other several times. Finally, Yugi ducked and tripped Bakura up and then grabbed Bakura by the arm before he flipped Bakura again onto his back.
Yugi pointed a Sai down at Bakura said, "Do you want to rethink giving up?" Yugi asked.
"You know, I think I do." Bakura said.
Yugi caused his Sais to vanish before he reached down and offered a hand to Bakura. Bakura took it, and Yugi pulled Bakura up onto his feet.
"Geez. You're a great fighter. We're going to have to train together more often, Yugi. I haven't had a good fight in ages." Bakura said.
"You're great, too." Yugi said.
Both were panting from their exertion.
"Wow! That was great!" Jou said excitedly as the others came over to them.
"You haven't lost your touch, Yugi." Heba said.
"Thank. I would if I slack off too much." Yugi said.
Ryou and Heba handed Yugi and Bakura towels to wipe the sweat from their faces.
Yami was still having to fight against his body's natural reaction to seeing the man that he was falling for sweating.
"Yugi, if there is ever someone that attacks us in the throne room, at least we know that you can stop them if no one else can get to a weapon." Aknankanon said.
"I would hope that it wouldn't come to something like that, but it's nice to have the ability." Yugi said.
"You know, I think that both of you need to bathe." Malik said.
"What? You saying that we stink?" Bakura asked.
"Not yet, but you will." Malik said.
"He's right. We have a meeting this afternoon, and I would appreciate it if you both did bathe before that." Aknankanon said.
"We will." Yugi said.
The group spread out with Yugi and Bakura heading to bathe.
Yami sighed once he was in the safety of his room. He had been forced to think about one of the harem girls trying to seduce him to get his erection to go away. 'Damn. I can't watch him train too much.' Yami thought.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Yami said.
Atemu walked in and said, "Hello, brother."
Yami could see the smug smirk on his brother's face. "What?" Yami asked.
"Have fun watching Yugi?" Atemu asked, the smirk not leaving his face.
Yami gulped. "You noticed?" Yami asked.
"Lucky for you, I was the only one to notice your, ahem, problem." Atemu said.
"I didn't think that seeing Yugi train would turn me on, but it did, especially with him sweating so much. It was like he was flirting, especially the way his muscles flexed with each move." Yami said.
Atemu laughed. "It would be bad if you jumped him when he was trying to train." Atemu agreed.
Yami groaned.
"You know, Yugi might have been flirting with you unintentionally, or he might have done it purposefully." Atemu said. He had noticed the sly looks that Yugi have Yami through the training session, even if no one else had noticed it.
"I doubt it. I'll have to figure out another way to find out. You know that I'm not too good with flirting." Yami said.
"Try talking to him and tell him that you love him." Atemu said.
"I don't know." Yami said.
Atemu sighed. 'He's so stubborn.' Atemu thought.
Heba sat on Yugi's bed, holding Hasan. "You know, Yugi, that was the quite the show that you put on." Heba said.
"It was training." Yugi retorted.
"I saw the way you were watching Yami. You were flirting by flexing your muscles as much as possible." Heba said.
Yugi walked out of the bathing chambers with a thin robe on. "You noticed?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah, and I think Atemu did, too. Yami didn't, although he did enjoy it." Heba said.
"Meaning?" Yugi asked.
Heba smirked. "I saw that you, um, got him aroused with your training." Heba said.
Yugi gulped. You mean, he um-" Yugi trailed off.
"Yep. He got an erection from it." Heba answered.
"Heba! Hasan's on here!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Yugi, Hasan is almost two weeks old. He doesn't understand what you are saying, and it's true." Heba said.
"Hmm. Maybe he does like me." Yugi murmured.
"He does. You should tell him." Heba said.
Yugi suddenly smirked. "You know something, Heba. I think I just got an idea." Yugi said.
"What's that?" Heba asked.
"I know how I'm going to tell Yami, and he'll never expect it. I just need a little help from you." Yugi said.
"What do you need?" Heba asked, eager to help his brother.
Yugi got down and began telling Heba his plan.
Hope that you liked it. I thought this way of flirting would be better suited for this.
Next chapter you find out about Yugi's little scheme that he's concocting.
