A/N: The biggest and longest chapter, with a song, although on FFN you won’t see it, on AFFN and Mediaminer.org you will. Anyone know Sorcerer Hunters? That’s the song.
And as for the sequel, should I just start a new story or should I continue it with this one?

Broken Darkness
Chapter 17: Mask
Yugi
Where was Yami? He was only in the room a while ago! Seto inquired at the desk only to find he was in the emergency room two floors above us. We ran to the elevator and got on, Seto trying to reassure me the entire way. It wasn’t helping.
“He’s…they’re trying to stop him from dying…” I said, “They’re…” SLAP! I felt Seto’s hand move across my face like lightning and I moved my hand to my cheek. “That hurt.”
“Get a grip Yugi, you aren’t going to do the pharaoh any good like that, miserable and a wreck,” he said and looked at his watch, “Damnit, its Friday now. Nearly one o’clock in the morning!”
“Thanks Seto,” I said, as I wiped my eyes again and took more deep breaths. The panic wasn’t lessening but I did the best I could. I wouldn’t loose him again. We exited the elevator and saw Grandpa in the waiting room. “Where’s Yami?”
“Down that hallway a ways,” he said, standing to address me. “He’s in critical condition, they’re trying to save him right now, and we can’t go in.”
“Why not?” I asked.
“We would just get in the way,” he replied, “Who’s with you?”
“It’s Seto grandpa,” I said gently. “Oh, so you’re the rival of my grandson,” he said, “You were the one I faced…it seems like so long ago.”
“Yes, it does,” Seto said gently. “Well Yugi,” Grandpa said, ignoring Seto and turning back to me, “Sit with me for now, all we can do is wait.” Oh my darling, I love you And the kid who just stands tonight… Seto sat with me and no one came out to us to tell us what was going on. Grandpa and Seto kept alternating handing me tissues and I sat between them, crying on whichever shoulder they let me have. Seconds, hours, passed and I wondered what was going on. I couldn’t tell him now…he wasn’t allowed visitors as they were trying to save him. They weren’t going to let me see him! Mystery-the platinum radiance of the moon reveals deviltry; The faint smile playing on her lips glistens brilliantly Keep your eyes on me-don’t take your eyes off me- Yami I was dying…I felt it in my body, it hurt, all over I hurt. I was dying and there was nothing I felt I could do to stop it. I was leaving Yugi…leaving him behind again and I couldn’t bear it! Your stare will relieve me, Of the seal that binds me I understand his panic…I understand why he was afraid to tell me how he felt. I don’t know what I would have done in his situation…but it still hurt. I couldn’t help but still love him with all my heart, even as these tubes were connected in me and my life-force was being drained from me I cried for him. I wanted to see him but the people trying to save me from a fate they couldn’t didn’t let anyone come. I remembered now…I remembered why the voice in my head kept whispering one month. I remembered the deal I had made just so I could come back here…but it was too late, my time was up. I was leaving this world once again. I couldn’t bear to leave Yugi but now…now there was nothing more that could be done. I wanted to see him again…I wanted to tell him I loved him, no matter if he loved me or not back. I wanted…I wanted him…please forgive me Yugi…I was a fool… “Yugi I’m sorry!” I cried through the tubes, my tears falling around me. I felt weak, drained and blackness started to surround me. Blackness…blackness that met the despair I felt in my heart… Shy Venus; cast aside your mask; Please be gentle in your cruelty… I want to see your uncovered face, I have a secret that’s only for you! Yugi It hit me hard…I felt it, Yami was dying. He was dying and all I was doing was sitting here and crying! I had to go to him! I had to tell him now or else I would die myself…my secret…my love for him would kill me if he didn’t know! I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart; I am a beast that has nowhere to run, Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of love! I stood up and headed toward the hallway. “Yugi, what are you doing?” Seto asked, coming up to me, “You can’t just go in!” I turned around to face him; my grandpa was asleep on the chair so it was only Seto stopping me from going. I couldn’t let him. “I can’t live without telling him,” I said through my tears, “I don’t want him to die without him knowing that I love him!” “Yugi,” Seto said gently, and then seemed to recognize the determination on my face, and nodded. “Go tell him, do what you have to do.” I took off down the hall. Sadistic-I want to give you a passionate, shameless dance; I saw him…in a room. Tubes were connected to him as people worked, trying to save him from his fate. Fresh tears fell, I felt by now I had started to cry blood, crying blood for him. He looked so helpless, he wasn’t moving! The doctors…the nurses, all of a sudden they just stopped…they looked up at the clock and stopped trying…trying to save him. Why did they stop? I want to be completely controlled, like a puppet on a string… No, no, it couldn’t be! He couldn’t be dead! No, it can’t be! I won’t let that happen, no, he has to know! I pushed open the doors and ran to Yami’s side, startling everyone there. “Yami, no, Atemu, please, you can’t die!” “What’s that boy doing in here?” a nurse asked but I ignored them. “Yami, please come back to me!” “Get him out of here!” a doctor called and I felt someone grab me but I pulled away from them and grabbed Yami’s hand. They grabbed at me harder and I pulled away still, tears falling and I cried out his name. Atemu didn’t respond. “Yami!” I cried as they grabbed at me and I struggled against them. When I hear your fluttering voice cry out, “I love you,” “You can’t die, I love you!” My heart is filled with another of your wounds, Don’t ignore the proof! Yami I opened my eyes and was staring at a mixture of white, black and gray walls, all shimmering faintly. Looking around I saw Yugi sprawled out on the floor beside me and I sat up, nudging him to get him to wake. He opened his eyes and tears rushed to them; he sat up and embraced me. “Yami, no, please don’t die,” he sobbed. “I won’t let you leave me again…I love you!” “Yugi,” I began. “No, I don’t care if you don’t love me back just don’t leave me!” “Yugi!” I said more sternly and he looked up at me. “You…but…you weren’t alive…I saw you…the hospital…” there was disbelief in his voice. “There were tubes…and people were pulling me away…I couldn’t get to you!” “I’m here,” I whispered and embraced him back. “But where are we now?” he asked and I found myself with the exact same question in mind. “You dears are in the realm of the keeper of time,” a voice said. I rose, taking Yugi with me and turned around to see a woman there, in a flowing one piece dress with a yin and yang symbol on it, holding a staff with one half shaped like a moon and one half shaped like the sun. Her hair was black with silver strands and her green eyes tinged with a strange emotion I couldn’t quite place. I gently pried Yugi off of me and faced her. Yugi turned to look at her too, and the surprise on his face was much more than on mine. “I did it,” I said to her. I knew who she was. She was Kana, the keeper of time. She smiled at me, her even white teeth shining bright. “But you were dead by the time he said it,” she said, “The deal was one month. You didn’t get him to say it in time.” “I still had time!” I exclaimed, “You took me early! That was cheating!” “No, it was not. You had from Friday when you first returned to Friday four weeks later. It was Friday four weeks later when your term ended,” she said. “It hadn’t ended yet,” I said through gritted teeth. She laughed, echoing off all the walls as she did so. “So it seems,” she asked and stepped forward, not approaching me, but Yugi. “Do you know who I am boy?” Yugi shook his head, trying to wipe his eyes as he did so. “I don’t…what’s going on?” “I suppose an explanation is in order,” she said, standing up to her full height. “I’ll tell you then. Your boy here Atemu didn’t want to rest peacefully in the underworld, not at all.” “What?” Yugi asked. “You might want to sit down for this,” Kana said with a sigh and chairs appeared around us, so Yugi sat down and I did as well. Kana remained standing. “He didn’t like being in the underworld, if you had called out to him the day he had to return, he would have disobeyed all rules to go back to you. But you didn’t, so he was forced to die once more, to go where he belonged. He didn’t like that.” She laughed again. “When he first made his plea to me, the second day he was in the underworld I found it laughable. He didn’t have anything I wanted to pay the price for his return to reality. I could grant it, but he had nothing to offer.” “I don’t get this,” Yugi muttered, looking up at her and then back at me. He reached out and grabbed my arm, latching on and not letting go. “You probably won’t, but you asked. He came to me every day, the same plea…” “Please let me go back to him!”
“Why should I?” “I love him!” “What do you have to offer me in return?”
“There is nothing I have that would be of value to you.” “Then be gone!” “For each wish there is a price and your pharaoh didn’t have a high enough payment he could offer. But on the sixth day, I was sick of his pleas so I asked others about him. They told me all about how he reigned as pharaoh and how he was a spirit in the puzzle shortly after that. Some of them had watched what was going on, seeing a bond flare up between you and the pharaoh,” Kana paused and looked at me. I was glaring at her as she told the story. “His pleas were completely out of love. He had nothing he could give, but he still wanted to come back. On the seventh day I asked him if he would do anything to come back, and he said yes. So we drew up a contract, stating the terms of his allowance to have another life so he could be with the one he loved. He had one month, only one, four weeks depending on what day I let him return, to get you little Yugi, to admit your feelings. He was going back simply to be with you, if you didn’t love him back then there was no point in him staying. I had to send him back without his memory, you see, I needed to see what you would do.” She was addressing Yugi with an amused grin. “You took care of him and tended to him as he slowly gained his memory back and overcame his sickness. You defended him and were a loyal friend…but not enough to show you loved him.” She paused and regarded Yami with a measure of pity. “I almost began to think you had gone back for nothing.” “I hadn’t gone back for nothing, he loves me,” Yami growled, “Don’t you dare say I didn’t get what I said I would.” “Of course you got him to say it dear,” she said. “Now let me continue. I’m not a mind reader nor do I feel anyone else’s emotions, so if you were feeling anything towards the pharaoh I didn’t know until I watched you have a conversation with a man named Kaiba…who apparently was having the same problem you were, just not on the level this one is. I saw he was right, the pharaoh was, and so I almost felt I would see this deal go through. But you were so nervous! You were always shy, that wasn’t a help at all.” “Yami, why couldn’t you say it first?” Yugi asked, “Why?”
“That was a term on the contract,” I said with a sigh. “What?” he asked. “The term stated was he couldn’t say it first. If you asked though, he could respond but he couldn’t say those three words until you said it first,” Kana answered, “The contract was very clear on that. Now let me see…that pretty much brings us to this point. I couldn’t have him die just suddenly but I gave him as much time as I could…I must say I felt hope for a minute, but still you said nothing and time was running short. I had to weaken him, to get him ready to die again and by then he would begin to remember why he was there in the first place, not that he could tell you. This brings us to the here and now.” “I think…I think I understand,” Yugi said, looking at me then at her. “You can’t take him away from me, I won’t let you!” He gripped my arm very hard. Kana leaned down towards Yugi and he trembled a little and I felt him tighten his grip on my arm to the point where it hurt. I wasn’t about to tell him to let go, he wanted to hold onto me and I let him. “Do you love him little Yugi?” she asked. “Yes.” “Do you want him forever?” “Of course!” “Are you willing to fight for him?” “Yes, I love him!” Yugi exclaimed, and was glaring at her the way I had been earlier. “I see,” she said and turned around, “Then you have done it pharaoh, you have won.” “It was never a game,” I growled at her and she turned to face me, her white teeth showing once again in a grin, but I glared at her. “Handling it like such…a person’s heart isn’t meant to be played with!” “I see,” she said and turned around once again, walking away, reaching into something and pulling out a piece of paper. “You’re contract, right here, one you signed in spirit and in blood.” She unfolded it and held it in front of her, coming back towards us and sitting in a chair across from us. “I, Pharaoh Atemu do swear to get Yugi Motou to admit he loves me as much as I love him. In doing so, I will be allowed back onto Earth to be with him forever.” She folded the contract down and looked at us. She set her staff to the side and smiled sadly. “This means, that you have fulfilled all terms on this contract but two.” “What two?” I asked, looking at Yugi, whose face had changed as if he had just been enlightened. “Does this mean he’s coming back? Does this mean he’s not dead?” he asked and got up, releasing my arm and came to sit in my lap, holding onto me with all his strength. Sly Venus, cast aside your mask; Please be gentle in your cruelty “Yes it does, so long as he fulfills the other provisions of the contract,” she said, and laughed. “These should be easy enough for two such as you.”
“Remind me as to what they are,” I said as Yugi nuzzled against me. I couldn’t help it now, I was entirely joyous and I wanted to just kiss him…but I held back, I had to finish this thing with the keeper of time first. She stopped laughing and opened the contract and started to glance over it, “Ah, here they are. First provision, you must get married.” I nodded, that would be easy enough. “Second provision and the last, you must have children.” My mouth hung open and Yugi stopped nuzzling against me happily to stare at her with wide eyes. Oh, show me, your uncovered face No one knows the time of the carnival! “What did you just say?” Yugi asked. “You heard me. One or both of you will have to bear children!” she laughed again. “But don’t worry; I will help with that as well.”
“Wait a minute; did you just say what I think you said?” Yugi asked, followed by my words. “What the hell?” “You heard me,” she said, “Now; there is a matter to be settled of your payment…” “Which goes with the second provision you just mentioned,” I moaned miserably. “What, what is it Atemu?” Yugi asked, “If we have a kid do we have to give it up or something?” “No, nothing as harsh as that,” Kana said, laughing once more. “It’s just simple…you have to name, if it’s a girl, Kana.” “That’s it?” Yugi asked, “What the heck?”
“Calm down Yugi,” I said, “I remember now.”
“Of course you would,” Yugi said dryly, “What kind of a payment is that? Don’t you like want to take our child or something?”
“We don’t even have a child,” I noted. “Little Yugi, it’s a big enough payment. That way, the pharaoh is always forced to remember who helped him,” Kana said. “If he ever forgot, then that would be terrible. But…if you would prefer, when you have your children I could just take them.” “NO!” Yugi and I said. Kana laughed again, “I thought so.” “If that’s all done, then Yami’s free?” Yugi asked, gripping onto me protectively. “You’ll have him forever,” she said, “Isn’t that what you want?”
“Yes, it is,” Yugi said and I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close. He was so warm…and to be able to hold him so close, like a lover… “There’s one more thing before I can send you two back to that hospital, by which I mean when you left off before you came here,” Kana said. “What?” I asked. “You have to say it back,” she said and stood, “Goodbye pharaoh, I look forward to seeing what children you two will have. You’ll know eventually who will be carrying the child; I’ve already picked out which one.” And laughing, she strode away, disappearing into the darkness. The chairs faded and Yugi and I were alone, and I was still holding him against me as we sat on the floor. He pulled away from me slowly and we found ourselves looking into each other’s eyes. His shone with love, love for me and full of hope. I want to hold you, surrender in my heart; I am a beast that’s fully drowned in love, Until the day that I pass away, dreaming of this feeling! “I love you Atemu,” he said clearly, slowly, each word seeming to roll off his tongue as he spoke them. “Yugi…with all my heart, I love you,” I whispered back and started to lean in close, lowering my head down to his. He leaned up towards me, this next step, the one changing both of us forever, both of use willing to take it. Oh my darling I love you And the kid who just stands tonight Our lips met gently. Gently I brushed them against his, gently I drew him into my arms, and gently I stroked his cheek, drawing him deeply into the kiss. The warmth radiating from him surrounding me like something…something I couldn’t name, a feeling I couldn’t place. It wasn’t just love…it was belonging. Oh my darling I love you And the kid who just stands tonight His hand touched my chest, holding over my heart and his hand spread across it and then gripped at my shirt, as if he wanted my heart as his own. I smiled at him and he opened his mouth to me on a moan, and I allowed my tongue to explore it and his tongue battled mine for dominance. It was a wonderful, joyous feeling, this kiss…but was this really real? Was it real or were we just in a fantasy world, and we would have to start all over again once back…back in that hospital. I wouldn’t mind…I wanted to kiss him over and over and over again, forever. I wanted to lay claim to him as I had in my dream. Once, twice, thrice I brushed my lips over his and gently pulled away, his head still turned towards mine, waiting for more. I heard him groan at the coldness that met his lips, and I shuddered at the cold that met mine. “Atemu…” Yugi murmured and buried his face in my shoulder. I laughed and pulled him away from me and he looked at me, tears still stained eyes there. Taking my hand I brushed the tears away from his eyes. I wanted to be the romantic and all but I had to take things slowly first…but why was he crying? “What’s wrong Aibou?” I asked, cradling him against me. “Nothing, I just know…that when we go back…my friends already know I love you...” “Is that important?”
“I was afraid they wouldn’t accept me for being…”
“Gay?” “That’s the word,” Yugi said, “But its okay…they do.” “Was there really any doubt in you mind?” I asked. “No, not really,” he said. I smiled; he was so cute; my Aibou was the most adorable. I couldn’t imagine loving anyone else. I kissed his forehead and then gave him a peck on the lips. He smiled up and me and let me hold him close. I felt a pain engulf me and I pushed him away, confused at what was going on. “Atemu?” his worried voice came over me like a calming wave, but the pain wouldn’t stop. “ATEMU!”
“I think…we’re…going back…” “I’m there…I’ll be there, on the other side…” “Aibou…” I fell forward onto the ground and faintly felt Yugi grab onto me and wouldn’t let me go. Shy Venus; cast aside your mask; Please be gently in your cruelty… Yugi I found myself staring at bright lights and smelling the hospital smell which was prominent all around me. We must be back from…from whatever that other world was! I felt arms not Yami’s pry me away from the bed and out of the room, I knew there must still be tears in my eyes or my eyes were red at the very least because the nurse holding onto me was looking at me with pity in her eyes. “Shhh…it’s okay, he’s gone to a better place,” she said. I didn’t like being talked to like a little kid, but I brushed it off because I knew better. “Nurse, we need you in here!” someone called from the room and the nurse hurried back in, giving me a pat on the head. I peaked over into the room, having been long forgotten because I saw the monitor, Yami’s heart was beating and his dark skin looked flush and new. He looked sad covered by all those tubes but as the doctors and nurses looked over him they began to disappear, the hookups did and Yami was soon clean of everything except an IV. I smiled at him and I know he saw me, he smiled back and I saw his heart in his eyes. He closed them and appeared to fall asleep. He did look exhausted, both physically and mentally. I could start crying again, I know I could, but I held them back. The nurses began to wheel him out of the room and the doors opened, causing me to jump back. “This is a miracle sir,” one said. “We better get him back to his room now,” another added. “Thank God for miracles,” a third one said, “It would have been such a shame to loose such a cute guy.” The nurses giggled, thinking that Yami wouldn’t hear them but I did. I followed them back out into the waiting room to see a startled Kaiba and a relieved Grandpa. “What just happened?” Grandpa asked and I ran up to him and hugged him, startling him further. “It’s a long story,” I said. “We have time,” Kaiba said. I want to see your uncovered face, I have a secret that’s only for you! … I told him everything, the long tale of Kana and even a little about the contract. I refused to say what it was because I didn’t want to think about it myself. Atemu…my Atemu was asleep right now, he was so exhausted from the encounter, and at least, that was what I told myself as I went into the room. Grandpa had been listening in as I told everything, and he told me he didn’t care if I was homosexual or heterosexual, just so long as I was still his grandson. I went into Atemu’s room and sat on the bed next to him. He still had the IV, but he looked better. His dark skin looked clean and renewed and his hair, which I ran my hands through, was smooth and soft. I placed my hand on his forehead, it was slightly warm, no signs of any fever. This time, was he really back for good? Was there anytime limit to his existence now? “Atemu,” I whispered, leaning close down to kiss his forehead. Two hands shot out and pulled me close to his body. I found myself being embraced by Yami! I looked up at him as I snuggled closer against him. … I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart I am a beast that has nowhere to run Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of love! “My Aibou,” he whispered and I felt him lay his lips upon my hair. “You’re now mine.” His voice sounded tired and a little strained, but otherwise deep and full of what I longed for. I now heard more the seductiveness, the lust in his voice. “So you won’t leave now?” I asked, “No one can take you away from me again?” “Not even if destiny demands it,” he whispered. “I will always be by your side.” “I love you Atemu,” I whispered, “My Yami…”
“My Aibou,” he said. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those sweet words.” “I bet a long time,” I said teasingly. “I love you too Aibou, more than even those three little words say,” he said and then smiled at me, “On a different note, who do you think…?”
“Don’t talk about that,” I said pouting, raising a finger to his lips and silencing him. He mocked biting on that finger and I smiled. “I don’t want to think about that right now.” “All right Aibou, I know it’s a sensitive subject,” he said, “But don’t stick your finger in my face. Now that we’re together…” The lust in his voice was most obvious but I yawned and his voice changed once again. “Tired my love?”
“Maybe a little,” I whispered, snuggling against him and laying my head on his chest. “I know you are.” “True, but I always save a little energy for…” he stopped off mid sentence to yawn and then continued. “You…all right, I’m tired too I guess. Yugi…love…Aibou…” “What is it?” I asked. “Would you sleep in my arms?” he asked and I smiled. “I will,” I whispered. Sly Venus, cast aside your mask; Please be gently in your cruelty… Oh, show me, your uncovered face Yami Yugi slept peacefully in my arms; he had fallen asleep shortly after giving his answer. I watched him sleep, stroking his hair slowly as his warm breath occasionally fell across my chest. I shifted a little and he curled up closer to me. I pulled the blanket up to cover both of us and heard the door open. I looked over and saw Kaiba standing in the doorway. He looked at me and then at the bundle, Yugi, who was sleeping in my arms. I remembered everything now, so I knew who Kaiba was, a rival…someone who played games as dangerous as he could. “What do you want?” I asked, looking at him. I expected to see bitterness, hatred, rivalry in his eyes…but there is none. He comes into the room, turns on a small light and sits down next to my bed. His eyes…they’ve changed. There’s kindness…regret… passion and even…even love. I don’t understand it. “Congratulations,” he said keeping his voice soft so as to not wake Yugi. “Yugi was the first to win.” “This was a game?” I hissed, but then realized I didn’t even know what was going on. “It was a game of love,” Seto said, “To see which of us would tell the ones they loved that they loved them first. Both of us weren’t doing it for reasons no one knew, me out of pride and him out of fear…so we agreed to help one another. If I helped him with you, he’d help me with…” “With who?” I asked. “Jou,” he said his voice quiet. “My lover’s best friend?” I asked. “Yes.”
“Why him?” “I started calling him mutt since the first time I dueled him, remember?” “I remember it clearly.”
“Good, then all your memories have returned too,” he said and looked at the ceiling before meeting my gaze again. Then he told me all that had happened between Yugi and him over the past month. … I want to hold you, surrender to my heart; I am a beast that’s fully drowned in love, I couldn’t help but smile. This wasn’t the Kaiba I knew…and yet it was. “So our next task is to help you get the one you love,” I said and he nodded. “That’s how it works,” he said. “So be it,” I whispered, “But if you don’t mind, I need to get some sleep.” “Of course pharaoh,” he said, standing to leave. “By the way, would you prefer I call you pharaoh, or Yami, or what?” “Atemu is my real name,” I said, “And this is my real form.” “I see,” he replied and headed towards the door, shutting the lamp off as he did so. “Atemu it will be.” … Released from the hospital the next day we returned home. I was more than happy to return home, I was here, where I belonged, with Yugi. Night couldn’t come fast enough and I was now sitting on the bed, Yugi snuggling against me. I wanted to take the next step…to make us really lovers, to fulfill what I had seen in my dreams…but sweeter, more real. “What’s wrong Yami?” Yugi asked, releasing his hold on my waist to turn and look at me. “It’s nothing Aibou,” I said. “It’s obviously something,” he said and proceeded to ask more questions. I sighed and gave in. “Remember that night, well, the night before we went to the amusement park?” I asked and he nodded. “I remember it clearly…the dream was…” “Sexual,” I added. “You had it too?” “Yes, I did. That was when our connection started coming back to us.” “Oh, right,” he said and blushed deeply, “So then umm…what then…sorry, I mean…” “You know I won’t do anything unless you allow it,” I said. “I know Yami,” he whispered, “It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it…” “I did as well,” I said, “Enjoyed it, I mean.” His blush deepened as he looked at me, “Does that mean…I mean…” “Only if you want to,” I said. He nodded, “I want to. They gave us…well, it’s more like Jou gave me a few things…he said I’d need them…” “He did?” I asked, “Well then he’s a good friend indeed…”
“I know,” Yugi said and smiled. He sat up slightly and looked at me, his large eyes searching my face. “I love you.” “I know Aibou, I love you as well,” I said and before I could say anything else he kissed me! This was in real life…really happening. I didn’t just imagine this, he just kissed me! In the other reality…when we were with Kana, well, more like after she had left, I wondered…I wondered if that was like real life. No…our kiss now was so much better. He opened his mouth to me and let my taste him with my tongue. This was sweeter than the dream, sweeter than anything I had ever experienced before. His emotions melded with mine and I didn’t…wasn’t able to tell which one of us was thinking what. I drew him into the kiss, deeper into my embrace and his hands flew to my clothes. He unbuttoned things and actually tore things and everything covering my upper body fell to the floor. I didn’t realize he had the strength, but I wouldn’t let him have control, not that easily. “Aibou, that’s not nice to tear my clothes,” I whispered as I forced him down onto the bed, pinning him beneath me. I stood up slightly on him and slowly stripped off the rest of my clothes and Yugi tried to run his hands down my chest. I didn’t let him and instead stripped him of his clothing, cloth fluttering around us and landing in various piles on the floor. Once we were both gloriously naked I trailed a line of kisses down Yugi’s chest, still pinning him down with my hands. I arrived at his bellybutton and I stuck my tongue in before trailing down lower. Yugi’s breathing reached my ears in short gasps and arriving at his weeping arousal, I licked the tip. He cried out in ecstasy and I lowered my mouth onto him, taking everything and he bucked his hips, positively wanting me to do more. I released his arms so he fisted his hands in my hair as I placed my own hands on his hip, making sure he couldn’t thrust up into my mouth. This would be set at the pace I set, and nothing more or less than that would do. I mimicked on him now what I was going to do to him in a little while…when I claimed him. He groaned and begged but I never once changed my pace. He was nearing completion but couldn’t reach it as I wouldn’t let him. I looked up at him through lustful eyes and his were closed, reveling in the feelings I was giving him, the pleasure and the anticipation. I lifted my mouth and he groaned as the cold air hit him. “Don’t worry love,” I whispered, my voice laced with lust, “Don’t worry my little Hikari. Your completion will come soon enough. Now where did you put those items Jou gave you?” Yugi managed to nod his head towards a nightstand and I stroked his arousal as my other hand fished around and enclosed my hand on a tube. I pulled it out and it was labeled ‘lubricant’. “We had these in Egypt as well, lubricants I mean, sweet smelling oils that could burn with fire. Maybe I shall be forced to recreate those for you.” It would be easy enough to make them. “Get in me,” Yugi panted. “I don’t care about ‘oils’ just…ah…get in me!” I smiled, he was already waiting, panting, praying I took him and I had done so little. “You know, this is a game of sorts…and I’ve already won,” I whispered as I opened up the tube and spread a little of it onto my hands. “There will be a round two…ah…I guarantee…ah…it,” Yugi muttered as I gently searched for that one…special…spot. “I ah…AH! I won’t let you…ah…dominate me… all the time…” The first finger was already in by the time those words slipped out of his mouth. By the second finger, I was stroking him with my other hand as I did a scissor motion to open him further and he was beyond all talking. By the third finger he was ready and panting and groaning, waiting for me to do something. I took a liberal amount of lube and lathered my own waiting erection, placing it at his entrance. This was my dream…my fantasy and I wanted all of it, unless…of course, he wasn’t ready. I had to do this; I wanted to do this, but only, only if he was ready. “Tell me…only if you tell me. I won’t if you say stop,” I breathed, whispering in his ear. I leaned away and looked at him, his flushed face, red cheeks and rising chest. “Please…” he begged. “Please what?” I asked, groaning as the words began to wash over me. “Please be with me…get in me. Make love to me.” His words doused me in desire, and I burned…I knew he burned and as I entered him the feeling of completeness was so strong that I cried out, as did he as we became one. I brought my face down and kissed him, gently, drawing out small whimpers from his lips as he adjusted to having me inside of him. Once he gave me noticed that he was ready for more, I withdrew slowly, only to thrust back into him and started a rhythm. His moans melded with mine and I stroked him in time to my thrusts, increasing the pace little by little, wanting it to last as long as possible. He was the first to come, spilling his seed between us. Yugi looked at me with lust filled eyes, and I felt his muscles clamp down on me. He was just too tight and I found my release following his in waves. I kissed him as we both rode out the waves of passion and he cried my name as I cried his. In the aftermath, I pulled out and lay on the bed, taking my little angel, my love, into my arms. “Atemu,” he whispered against my chest and looked up at me. We were a mess, covered in sweat and spilt passion. I touched his cheek and kissed him again. “Yugi, I’ll never leave your side,” I whispered. “I know this Atemu,” Yugi said, “I love you.” “I love you too,” I whispered back and felt him snuggle against me. “We do have something more we’ll have to do though.” “What is it?” he asked. “We have to help Kaiba get Jou,” I said. “No kidding,” he said and started to laugh, sitting up in bed and touching my cheek. “It’ll be easy…all we gotta do is get those two to just get over themselves.” Panic shot through me as I realized what I had done. “Yugi, I…well, we…” “What is it Yami?”
“I forgot…we forgot to use…” “You’re kidding me, right?” I shook my head, the look of horror in my face mirroring the one in Yugi’s. “I really…well um…” “You seriously better hope Kana didn’t do anything about that just yet!” Yugi exclaimed. “I’m sorry Yugi!” I said, sitting up as well. “You know I didn’t mean to.” A silence fell between us and then Yugi began to laugh. “What’s so funny?” I couldn’t understand why he was laughing at a time like this. He flung himself into my arms, still laughing and looked up at me with a smile. “I wouldn’t mind carrying your child,” he said. “I’m not mad. We both wanted this a little more than we could say in words, right?” I could only nod. He continued. “I’m fine Yami. Just promise me one thing.” “Anything Aibou, anything you could want.” “If I’m not pregnant because Kana didn’t start anything as of yet then wear protection from now on.” My laughter joined his. “I promise I will wear one of those condoms from now on.” “Good,” Yugi whispered and then placed a kiss on my chest. “You know, she might have picked you to be the one to carry the children…” “What makes you think I’ll let you take the role I am so good at?”
Yugi smiled evilly and pushed me back onto the bed. “Because you taught me everything I need to know.” I grinned, “All right then my darling Aibou…you can show me what you learned.” … It was to be like this…nights of passion and love and just the two of us forever. Of course now we had to plan out how we were going to help Seto get a hold of Jou… although it was a challenge I was ready to take. After all, if it hadn’t been for Seto’s help holding Yugi together, we might not be in each others arms right now. END

“It’s Seto grandpa,” I said gently. “Oh, so you’re the rival of my grandson,” he said, “You were the one I faced…it seems like so long ago.”
“Yes, it does,” Seto said gently. “Well Yugi,” Grandpa said, ignoring Seto and turning back to me, “Sit with me for now, all we can do is wait.” Oh my darling, I love you And the kid who just stands tonight… Seto sat with me and no one came out to us to tell us what was going on. Grandpa and Seto kept alternating handing me tissues and I sat between them, crying on whichever shoulder they let me have. Seconds, hours, passed and I wondered what was going on. I couldn’t tell him now…he wasn’t allowed visitors as they were trying to save him. They weren’t going to let me see him! Mystery-the platinum radiance of the moon reveals deviltry; The faint smile playing on her lips glistens brilliantly Keep your eyes on me-don’t take your eyes off me- Yami I was dying…I felt it in my body, it hurt, all over I hurt. I was dying and there was nothing I felt I could do to stop it. I was leaving Yugi…leaving him behind again and I couldn’t bear it! Your stare will relieve me, Of the seal that binds me I understand his panic…I understand why he was afraid to tell me how he felt. I don’t know what I would have done in his situation…but it still hurt. I couldn’t help but still love him with all my heart, even as these tubes were connected in me and my life-force was being drained from me I cried for him. I wanted to see him but the people trying to save me from a fate they couldn’t didn’t let anyone come. I remembered now…I remembered why the voice in my head kept whispering one month. I remembered the deal I had made just so I could come back here…but it was too late, my time was up. I was leaving this world once again. I couldn’t bear to leave Yugi but now…now there was nothing more that could be done. I wanted to see him again…I wanted to tell him I loved him, no matter if he loved me or not back. I wanted…I wanted him…please forgive me Yugi…I was a fool… “Yugi I’m sorry!” I cried through the tubes, my tears falling around me. I felt weak, drained and blackness started to surround me. Blackness…blackness that met the despair I felt in my heart… Shy Venus; cast aside your mask; Please be gentle in your cruelty… I want to see your uncovered face, I have a secret that’s only for you! Yugi It hit me hard…I felt it, Yami was dying. He was dying and all I was doing was sitting here and crying! I had to go to him! I had to tell him now or else I would die myself…my secret…my love for him would kill me if he didn’t know! I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart; I am a beast that has nowhere to run, Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of love! I stood up and headed toward the hallway. “Yugi, what are you doing?” Seto asked, coming up to me, “You can’t just go in!” I turned around to face him; my grandpa was asleep on the chair so it was only Seto stopping me from going. I couldn’t let him. “I can’t live without telling him,” I said through my tears, “I don’t want him to die without him knowing that I love him!” “Yugi,” Seto said gently, and then seemed to recognize the determination on my face, and nodded. “Go tell him, do what you have to do.” I took off down the hall. Sadistic-I want to give you a passionate, shameless dance; I saw him…in a room. Tubes were connected to him as people worked, trying to save him from his fate. Fresh tears fell, I felt by now I had started to cry blood, crying blood for him. He looked so helpless, he wasn’t moving! The doctors…the nurses, all of a sudden they just stopped…they looked up at the clock and stopped trying…trying to save him. Why did they stop? I want to be completely controlled, like a puppet on a string… No, no, it couldn’t be! He couldn’t be dead! No, it can’t be! I won’t let that happen, no, he has to know! I pushed open the doors and ran to Yami’s side, startling everyone there. “Yami, no, Atemu, please, you can’t die!” “What’s that boy doing in here?” a nurse asked but I ignored them. “Yami, please come back to me!” “Get him out of here!” a doctor called and I felt someone grab me but I pulled away from them and grabbed Yami’s hand. They grabbed at me harder and I pulled away still, tears falling and I cried out his name. Atemu didn’t respond. “Yami!” I cried as they grabbed at me and I struggled against them. When I hear your fluttering voice cry out, “I love you,” “You can’t die, I love you!” My heart is filled with another of your wounds, Don’t ignore the proof! Yami I opened my eyes and was staring at a mixture of white, black and gray walls, all shimmering faintly. Looking around I saw Yugi sprawled out on the floor beside me and I sat up, nudging him to get him to wake. He opened his eyes and tears rushed to them; he sat up and embraced me. “Yami, no, please don’t die,” he sobbed. “I won’t let you leave me again…I love you!” “Yugi,” I began. “No, I don’t care if you don’t love me back just don’t leave me!” “Yugi!” I said more sternly and he looked up at me. “You…but…you weren’t alive…I saw you…the hospital…” there was disbelief in his voice. “There were tubes…and people were pulling me away…I couldn’t get to you!” “I’m here,” I whispered and embraced him back. “But where are we now?” he asked and I found myself with the exact same question in mind. “You dears are in the realm of the keeper of time,” a voice said. I rose, taking Yugi with me and turned around to see a woman there, in a flowing one piece dress with a yin and yang symbol on it, holding a staff with one half shaped like a moon and one half shaped like the sun. Her hair was black with silver strands and her green eyes tinged with a strange emotion I couldn’t quite place. I gently pried Yugi off of me and faced her. Yugi turned to look at her too, and the surprise on his face was much more than on mine. “I did it,” I said to her. I knew who she was. She was Kana, the keeper of time. She smiled at me, her even white teeth shining bright. “But you were dead by the time he said it,” she said, “The deal was one month. You didn’t get him to say it in time.” “I still had time!” I exclaimed, “You took me early! That was cheating!” “No, it was not. You had from Friday when you first returned to Friday four weeks later. It was Friday four weeks later when your term ended,” she said. “It hadn’t ended yet,” I said through gritted teeth. She laughed, echoing off all the walls as she did so. “So it seems,” she asked and stepped forward, not approaching me, but Yugi. “Do you know who I am boy?” Yugi shook his head, trying to wipe his eyes as he did so. “I don’t…what’s going on?” “I suppose an explanation is in order,” she said, standing up to her full height. “I’ll tell you then. Your boy here Atemu didn’t want to rest peacefully in the underworld, not at all.” “What?” Yugi asked. “You might want to sit down for this,” Kana said with a sigh and chairs appeared around us, so Yugi sat down and I did as well. Kana remained standing. “He didn’t like being in the underworld, if you had called out to him the day he had to return, he would have disobeyed all rules to go back to you. But you didn’t, so he was forced to die once more, to go where he belonged. He didn’t like that.” She laughed again. “When he first made his plea to me, the second day he was in the underworld I found it laughable. He didn’t have anything I wanted to pay the price for his return to reality. I could grant it, but he had nothing to offer.” “I don’t get this,” Yugi muttered, looking up at her and then back at me. He reached out and grabbed my arm, latching on and not letting go. “You probably won’t, but you asked. He came to me every day, the same plea…” “Please let me go back to him!”
“Why should I?” “I love him!” “What do you have to offer me in return?”
“There is nothing I have that would be of value to you.” “Then be gone!” “For each wish there is a price and your pharaoh didn’t have a high enough payment he could offer. But on the sixth day, I was sick of his pleas so I asked others about him. They told me all about how he reigned as pharaoh and how he was a spirit in the puzzle shortly after that. Some of them had watched what was going on, seeing a bond flare up between you and the pharaoh,” Kana paused and looked at me. I was glaring at her as she told the story. “His pleas were completely out of love. He had nothing he could give, but he still wanted to come back. On the seventh day I asked him if he would do anything to come back, and he said yes. So we drew up a contract, stating the terms of his allowance to have another life so he could be with the one he loved. He had one month, only one, four weeks depending on what day I let him return, to get you little Yugi, to admit your feelings. He was going back simply to be with you, if you didn’t love him back then there was no point in him staying. I had to send him back without his memory, you see, I needed to see what you would do.” She was addressing Yugi with an amused grin. “You took care of him and tended to him as he slowly gained his memory back and overcame his sickness. You defended him and were a loyal friend…but not enough to show you loved him.” She paused and regarded Yami with a measure of pity. “I almost began to think you had gone back for nothing.” “I hadn’t gone back for nothing, he loves me,” Yami growled, “Don’t you dare say I didn’t get what I said I would.” “Of course you got him to say it dear,” she said. “Now let me continue. I’m not a mind reader nor do I feel anyone else’s emotions, so if you were feeling anything towards the pharaoh I didn’t know until I watched you have a conversation with a man named Kaiba…who apparently was having the same problem you were, just not on the level this one is. I saw he was right, the pharaoh was, and so I almost felt I would see this deal go through. But you were so nervous! You were always shy, that wasn’t a help at all.” “Yami, why couldn’t you say it first?” Yugi asked, “Why?”
“That was a term on the contract,” I said with a sigh. “What?” he asked. “The term stated was he couldn’t say it first. If you asked though, he could respond but he couldn’t say those three words until you said it first,” Kana answered, “The contract was very clear on that. Now let me see…that pretty much brings us to this point. I couldn’t have him die just suddenly but I gave him as much time as I could…I must say I felt hope for a minute, but still you said nothing and time was running short. I had to weaken him, to get him ready to die again and by then he would begin to remember why he was there in the first place, not that he could tell you. This brings us to the here and now.” “I think…I think I understand,” Yugi said, looking at me then at her. “You can’t take him away from me, I won’t let you!” He gripped my arm very hard. Kana leaned down towards Yugi and he trembled a little and I felt him tighten his grip on my arm to the point where it hurt. I wasn’t about to tell him to let go, he wanted to hold onto me and I let him. “Do you love him little Yugi?” she asked. “Yes.” “Do you want him forever?” “Of course!” “Are you willing to fight for him?” “Yes, I love him!” Yugi exclaimed, and was glaring at her the way I had been earlier. “I see,” she said and turned around, “Then you have done it pharaoh, you have won.” “It was never a game,” I growled at her and she turned to face me, her white teeth showing once again in a grin, but I glared at her. “Handling it like such…a person’s heart isn’t meant to be played with!” “I see,” she said and turned around once again, walking away, reaching into something and pulling out a piece of paper. “You’re contract, right here, one you signed in spirit and in blood.” She unfolded it and held it in front of her, coming back towards us and sitting in a chair across from us. “I, Pharaoh Atemu do swear to get Yugi Motou to admit he loves me as much as I love him. In doing so, I will be allowed back onto Earth to be with him forever.” She folded the contract down and looked at us. She set her staff to the side and smiled sadly. “This means, that you have fulfilled all terms on this contract but two.” “What two?” I asked, looking at Yugi, whose face had changed as if he had just been enlightened. “Does this mean he’s coming back? Does this mean he’s not dead?” he asked and got up, releasing my arm and came to sit in my lap, holding onto me with all his strength. Sly Venus, cast aside your mask; Please be gentle in your cruelty “Yes it does, so long as he fulfills the other provisions of the contract,” she said, and laughed. “These should be easy enough for two such as you.”
“Remind me as to what they are,” I said as Yugi nuzzled against me. I couldn’t help it now, I was entirely joyous and I wanted to just kiss him…but I held back, I had to finish this thing with the keeper of time first. She stopped laughing and opened the contract and started to glance over it, “Ah, here they are. First provision, you must get married.” I nodded, that would be easy enough. “Second provision and the last, you must have children.” My mouth hung open and Yugi stopped nuzzling against me happily to stare at her with wide eyes. Oh, show me, your uncovered face No one knows the time of the carnival! “What did you just say?” Yugi asked. “You heard me. One or both of you will have to bear children!” she laughed again. “But don’t worry; I will help with that as well.”
“Wait a minute; did you just say what I think you said?” Yugi asked, followed by my words. “What the hell?” “You heard me,” she said, “Now; there is a matter to be settled of your payment…” “Which goes with the second provision you just mentioned,” I moaned miserably. “What, what is it Atemu?” Yugi asked, “If we have a kid do we have to give it up or something?” “No, nothing as harsh as that,” Kana said, laughing once more. “It’s just simple…you have to name, if it’s a girl, Kana.” “That’s it?” Yugi asked, “What the heck?”
“Calm down Yugi,” I said, “I remember now.”
“Of course you would,” Yugi said dryly, “What kind of a payment is that? Don’t you like want to take our child or something?”
“We don’t even have a child,” I noted. “Little Yugi, it’s a big enough payment. That way, the pharaoh is always forced to remember who helped him,” Kana said. “If he ever forgot, then that would be terrible. But…if you would prefer, when you have your children I could just take them.” “NO!” Yugi and I said. Kana laughed again, “I thought so.” “If that’s all done, then Yami’s free?” Yugi asked, gripping onto me protectively. “You’ll have him forever,” she said, “Isn’t that what you want?”
“Yes, it is,” Yugi said and I wrapped my arms around him, holding him close. He was so warm…and to be able to hold him so close, like a lover… “There’s one more thing before I can send you two back to that hospital, by which I mean when you left off before you came here,” Kana said. “What?” I asked. “You have to say it back,” she said and stood, “Goodbye pharaoh, I look forward to seeing what children you two will have. You’ll know eventually who will be carrying the child; I’ve already picked out which one.” And laughing, she strode away, disappearing into the darkness. The chairs faded and Yugi and I were alone, and I was still holding him against me as we sat on the floor. He pulled away from me slowly and we found ourselves looking into each other’s eyes. His shone with love, love for me and full of hope. I want to hold you, surrender in my heart; I am a beast that’s fully drowned in love, Until the day that I pass away, dreaming of this feeling! “I love you Atemu,” he said clearly, slowly, each word seeming to roll off his tongue as he spoke them. “Yugi…with all my heart, I love you,” I whispered back and started to lean in close, lowering my head down to his. He leaned up towards me, this next step, the one changing both of us forever, both of use willing to take it. Oh my darling I love you And the kid who just stands tonight Our lips met gently. Gently I brushed them against his, gently I drew him into my arms, and gently I stroked his cheek, drawing him deeply into the kiss. The warmth radiating from him surrounding me like something…something I couldn’t name, a feeling I couldn’t place. It wasn’t just love…it was belonging. Oh my darling I love you And the kid who just stands tonight His hand touched my chest, holding over my heart and his hand spread across it and then gripped at my shirt, as if he wanted my heart as his own. I smiled at him and he opened his mouth to me on a moan, and I allowed my tongue to explore it and his tongue battled mine for dominance. It was a wonderful, joyous feeling, this kiss…but was this really real? Was it real or were we just in a fantasy world, and we would have to start all over again once back…back in that hospital. I wouldn’t mind…I wanted to kiss him over and over and over again, forever. I wanted to lay claim to him as I had in my dream. Once, twice, thrice I brushed my lips over his and gently pulled away, his head still turned towards mine, waiting for more. I heard him groan at the coldness that met his lips, and I shuddered at the cold that met mine. “Atemu…” Yugi murmured and buried his face in my shoulder. I laughed and pulled him away from me and he looked at me, tears still stained eyes there. Taking my hand I brushed the tears away from his eyes. I wanted to be the romantic and all but I had to take things slowly first…but why was he crying? “What’s wrong Aibou?” I asked, cradling him against me. “Nothing, I just know…that when we go back…my friends already know I love you...” “Is that important?”
“I was afraid they wouldn’t accept me for being…”
“Gay?” “That’s the word,” Yugi said, “But its okay…they do.” “Was there really any doubt in you mind?” I asked. “No, not really,” he said. I smiled; he was so cute; my Aibou was the most adorable. I couldn’t imagine loving anyone else. I kissed his forehead and then gave him a peck on the lips. He smiled up and me and let me hold him close. I felt a pain engulf me and I pushed him away, confused at what was going on. “Atemu?” his worried voice came over me like a calming wave, but the pain wouldn’t stop. “ATEMU!”
“I think…we’re…going back…” “I’m there…I’ll be there, on the other side…” “Aibou…” I fell forward onto the ground and faintly felt Yugi grab onto me and wouldn’t let me go. Shy Venus; cast aside your mask; Please be gently in your cruelty… Yugi I found myself staring at bright lights and smelling the hospital smell which was prominent all around me. We must be back from…from whatever that other world was! I felt arms not Yami’s pry me away from the bed and out of the room, I knew there must still be tears in my eyes or my eyes were red at the very least because the nurse holding onto me was looking at me with pity in her eyes. “Shhh…it’s okay, he’s gone to a better place,” she said. I didn’t like being talked to like a little kid, but I brushed it off because I knew better. “Nurse, we need you in here!” someone called from the room and the nurse hurried back in, giving me a pat on the head. I peaked over into the room, having been long forgotten because I saw the monitor, Yami’s heart was beating and his dark skin looked flush and new. He looked sad covered by all those tubes but as the doctors and nurses looked over him they began to disappear, the hookups did and Yami was soon clean of everything except an IV. I smiled at him and I know he saw me, he smiled back and I saw his heart in his eyes. He closed them and appeared to fall asleep. He did look exhausted, both physically and mentally. I could start crying again, I know I could, but I held them back. The nurses began to wheel him out of the room and the doors opened, causing me to jump back. “This is a miracle sir,” one said. “We better get him back to his room now,” another added. “Thank God for miracles,” a third one said, “It would have been such a shame to loose such a cute guy.” The nurses giggled, thinking that Yami wouldn’t hear them but I did. I followed them back out into the waiting room to see a startled Kaiba and a relieved Grandpa. “What just happened?” Grandpa asked and I ran up to him and hugged him, startling him further. “It’s a long story,” I said. “We have time,” Kaiba said. I want to see your uncovered face, I have a secret that’s only for you! … I told him everything, the long tale of Kana and even a little about the contract. I refused to say what it was because I didn’t want to think about it myself. Atemu…my Atemu was asleep right now, he was so exhausted from the encounter, and at least, that was what I told myself as I went into the room. Grandpa had been listening in as I told everything, and he told me he didn’t care if I was homosexual or heterosexual, just so long as I was still his grandson. I went into Atemu’s room and sat on the bed next to him. He still had the IV, but he looked better. His dark skin looked clean and renewed and his hair, which I ran my hands through, was smooth and soft. I placed my hand on his forehead, it was slightly warm, no signs of any fever. This time, was he really back for good? Was there anytime limit to his existence now? “Atemu,” I whispered, leaning close down to kiss his forehead. Two hands shot out and pulled me close to his body. I found myself being embraced by Yami! I looked up at him as I snuggled closer against him. … I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart I am a beast that has nowhere to run Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of love! “My Aibou,” he whispered and I felt him lay his lips upon my hair. “You’re now mine.” His voice sounded tired and a little strained, but otherwise deep and full of what I longed for. I now heard more the seductiveness, the lust in his voice. “So you won’t leave now?” I asked, “No one can take you away from me again?” “Not even if destiny demands it,” he whispered. “I will always be by your side.” “I love you Atemu,” I whispered, “My Yami…”
“My Aibou,” he said. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those sweet words.” “I bet a long time,” I said teasingly. “I love you too Aibou, more than even those three little words say,” he said and then smiled at me, “On a different note, who do you think…?”
“Don’t talk about that,” I said pouting, raising a finger to his lips and silencing him. He mocked biting on that finger and I smiled. “I don’t want to think about that right now.” “All right Aibou, I know it’s a sensitive subject,” he said, “But don’t stick your finger in my face. Now that we’re together…” The lust in his voice was most obvious but I yawned and his voice changed once again. “Tired my love?”
“Maybe a little,” I whispered, snuggling against him and laying my head on his chest. “I know you are.” “True, but I always save a little energy for…” he stopped off mid sentence to yawn and then continued. “You…all right, I’m tired too I guess. Yugi…love…Aibou…” “What is it?” I asked. “Would you sleep in my arms?” he asked and I smiled. “I will,” I whispered. Sly Venus, cast aside your mask; Please be gently in your cruelty… Oh, show me, your uncovered face Yami Yugi slept peacefully in my arms; he had fallen asleep shortly after giving his answer. I watched him sleep, stroking his hair slowly as his warm breath occasionally fell across my chest. I shifted a little and he curled up closer to me. I pulled the blanket up to cover both of us and heard the door open. I looked over and saw Kaiba standing in the doorway. He looked at me and then at the bundle, Yugi, who was sleeping in my arms. I remembered everything now, so I knew who Kaiba was, a rival…someone who played games as dangerous as he could. “What do you want?” I asked, looking at him. I expected to see bitterness, hatred, rivalry in his eyes…but there is none. He comes into the room, turns on a small light and sits down next to my bed. His eyes…they’ve changed. There’s kindness…regret… passion and even…even love. I don’t understand it. “Congratulations,” he said keeping his voice soft so as to not wake Yugi. “Yugi was the first to win.” “This was a game?” I hissed, but then realized I didn’t even know what was going on. “It was a game of love,” Seto said, “To see which of us would tell the ones they loved that they loved them first. Both of us weren’t doing it for reasons no one knew, me out of pride and him out of fear…so we agreed to help one another. If I helped him with you, he’d help me with…” “With who?” I asked. “Jou,” he said his voice quiet. “My lover’s best friend?” I asked. “Yes.”
“Why him?” “I started calling him mutt since the first time I dueled him, remember?” “I remember it clearly.”
“Good, then all your memories have returned too,” he said and looked at the ceiling before meeting my gaze again. Then he told me all that had happened between Yugi and him over the past month. … I want to hold you, surrender to my heart; I am a beast that’s fully drowned in love, I couldn’t help but smile. This wasn’t the Kaiba I knew…and yet it was. “So our next task is to help you get the one you love,” I said and he nodded. “That’s how it works,” he said. “So be it,” I whispered, “But if you don’t mind, I need to get some sleep.” “Of course pharaoh,” he said, standing to leave. “By the way, would you prefer I call you pharaoh, or Yami, or what?” “Atemu is my real name,” I said, “And this is my real form.” “I see,” he replied and headed towards the door, shutting the lamp off as he did so. “Atemu it will be.” … Released from the hospital the next day we returned home. I was more than happy to return home, I was here, where I belonged, with Yugi. Night couldn’t come fast enough and I was now sitting on the bed, Yugi snuggling against me. I wanted to take the next step…to make us really lovers, to fulfill what I had seen in my dreams…but sweeter, more real. “What’s wrong Yami?” Yugi asked, releasing his hold on my waist to turn and look at me. “It’s nothing Aibou,” I said. “It’s obviously something,” he said and proceeded to ask more questions. I sighed and gave in. “Remember that night, well, the night before we went to the amusement park?” I asked and he nodded. “I remember it clearly…the dream was…” “Sexual,” I added. “You had it too?” “Yes, I did. That was when our connection started coming back to us.” “Oh, right,” he said and blushed deeply, “So then umm…what then…sorry, I mean…” “You know I won’t do anything unless you allow it,” I said. “I know Yami,” he whispered, “It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it…” “I did as well,” I said, “Enjoyed it, I mean.” His blush deepened as he looked at me, “Does that mean…I mean…” “Only if you want to,” I said. He nodded, “I want to. They gave us…well, it’s more like Jou gave me a few things…he said I’d need them…” “He did?” I asked, “Well then he’s a good friend indeed…”
“I know,” Yugi said and smiled. He sat up slightly and looked at me, his large eyes searching my face. “I love you.” “I know Aibou, I love you as well,” I said and before I could say anything else he kissed me! This was in real life…really happening. I didn’t just imagine this, he just kissed me! In the other reality…when we were with Kana, well, more like after she had left, I wondered…I wondered if that was like real life. No…our kiss now was so much better. He opened his mouth to me and let my taste him with my tongue. This was sweeter than the dream, sweeter than anything I had ever experienced before. His emotions melded with mine and I didn’t…wasn’t able to tell which one of us was thinking what. I drew him into the kiss, deeper into my embrace and his hands flew to my clothes. He unbuttoned things and actually tore things and everything covering my upper body fell to the floor. I didn’t realize he had the strength, but I wouldn’t let him have control, not that easily. “Aibou, that’s not nice to tear my clothes,” I whispered as I forced him down onto the bed, pinning him beneath me. I stood up slightly on him and slowly stripped off the rest of my clothes and Yugi tried to run his hands down my chest. I didn’t let him and instead stripped him of his clothing, cloth fluttering around us and landing in various piles on the floor. Once we were both gloriously naked I trailed a line of kisses down Yugi’s chest, still pinning him down with my hands. I arrived at his bellybutton and I stuck my tongue in before trailing down lower. Yugi’s breathing reached my ears in short gasps and arriving at his weeping arousal, I licked the tip. He cried out in ecstasy and I lowered my mouth onto him, taking everything and he bucked his hips, positively wanting me to do more. I released his arms so he fisted his hands in my hair as I placed my own hands on his hip, making sure he couldn’t thrust up into my mouth. This would be set at the pace I set, and nothing more or less than that would do. I mimicked on him now what I was going to do to him in a little while…when I claimed him. He groaned and begged but I never once changed my pace. He was nearing completion but couldn’t reach it as I wouldn’t let him. I looked up at him through lustful eyes and his were closed, reveling in the feelings I was giving him, the pleasure and the anticipation. I lifted my mouth and he groaned as the cold air hit him. “Don’t worry love,” I whispered, my voice laced with lust, “Don’t worry my little Hikari. Your completion will come soon enough. Now where did you put those items Jou gave you?” Yugi managed to nod his head towards a nightstand and I stroked his arousal as my other hand fished around and enclosed my hand on a tube. I pulled it out and it was labeled ‘lubricant’. “We had these in Egypt as well, lubricants I mean, sweet smelling oils that could burn with fire. Maybe I shall be forced to recreate those for you.” It would be easy enough to make them. “Get in me,” Yugi panted. “I don’t care about ‘oils’ just…ah…get in me!” I smiled, he was already waiting, panting, praying I took him and I had done so little. “You know, this is a game of sorts…and I’ve already won,” I whispered as I opened up the tube and spread a little of it onto my hands. “There will be a round two…ah…I guarantee…ah…it,” Yugi muttered as I gently searched for that one…special…spot. “I ah…AH! I won’t let you…ah…dominate me… all the time…” The first finger was already in by the time those words slipped out of his mouth. By the second finger, I was stroking him with my other hand as I did a scissor motion to open him further and he was beyond all talking. By the third finger he was ready and panting and groaning, waiting for me to do something. I took a liberal amount of lube and lathered my own waiting erection, placing it at his entrance. This was my dream…my fantasy and I wanted all of it, unless…of course, he wasn’t ready. I had to do this; I wanted to do this, but only, only if he was ready. “Tell me…only if you tell me. I won’t if you say stop,” I breathed, whispering in his ear. I leaned away and looked at him, his flushed face, red cheeks and rising chest. “Please…” he begged. “Please what?” I asked, groaning as the words began to wash over me. “Please be with me…get in me. Make love to me.” His words doused me in desire, and I burned…I knew he burned and as I entered him the feeling of completeness was so strong that I cried out, as did he as we became one. I brought my face down and kissed him, gently, drawing out small whimpers from his lips as he adjusted to having me inside of him. Once he gave me noticed that he was ready for more, I withdrew slowly, only to thrust back into him and started a rhythm. His moans melded with mine and I stroked him in time to my thrusts, increasing the pace little by little, wanting it to last as long as possible. He was the first to come, spilling his seed between us. Yugi looked at me with lust filled eyes, and I felt his muscles clamp down on me. He was just too tight and I found my release following his in waves. I kissed him as we both rode out the waves of passion and he cried my name as I cried his. In the aftermath, I pulled out and lay on the bed, taking my little angel, my love, into my arms. “Atemu,” he whispered against my chest and looked up at me. We were a mess, covered in sweat and spilt passion. I touched his cheek and kissed him again. “Yugi, I’ll never leave your side,” I whispered. “I know this Atemu,” Yugi said, “I love you.” “I love you too,” I whispered back and felt him snuggle against me. “We do have something more we’ll have to do though.” “What is it?” he asked. “We have to help Kaiba get Jou,” I said. “No kidding,” he said and started to laugh, sitting up in bed and touching my cheek. “It’ll be easy…all we gotta do is get those two to just get over themselves.” Panic shot through me as I realized what I had done. “Yugi, I…well, we…” “What is it Yami?”
“I forgot…we forgot to use…” “You’re kidding me, right?” I shook my head, the look of horror in my face mirroring the one in Yugi’s. “I really…well um…” “You seriously better hope Kana didn’t do anything about that just yet!” Yugi exclaimed. “I’m sorry Yugi!” I said, sitting up as well. “You know I didn’t mean to.” A silence fell between us and then Yugi began to laugh. “What’s so funny?” I couldn’t understand why he was laughing at a time like this. He flung himself into my arms, still laughing and looked up at me with a smile. “I wouldn’t mind carrying your child,” he said. “I’m not mad. We both wanted this a little more than we could say in words, right?” I could only nod. He continued. “I’m fine Yami. Just promise me one thing.” “Anything Aibou, anything you could want.” “If I’m not pregnant because Kana didn’t start anything as of yet then wear protection from now on.” My laughter joined his. “I promise I will wear one of those condoms from now on.” “Good,” Yugi whispered and then placed a kiss on my chest. “You know, she might have picked you to be the one to carry the children…” “What makes you think I’ll let you take the role I am so good at?”
Yugi smiled evilly and pushed me back onto the bed. “Because you taught me everything I need to know.” I grinned, “All right then my darling Aibou…you can show me what you learned.” … It was to be like this…nights of passion and love and just the two of us forever. Of course now we had to plan out how we were going to help Seto get a hold of Jou… although it was a challenge I was ready to take. After all, if it hadn’t been for Seto’s help holding Yugi together, we might not be in each others arms right now. END
