Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Everything I've Ever Wanted ❯ All I Ever Wanted To Do... Was Love You ( Chapter 4 )
Frazzle: 'Ello, and welcome back to the story. When we previously left off, Yami had just noticed a picture of him and Seto in the newspaper giving mouth-to-mouth on Domino's beach. However, the title clearly stated, "Rich CEO Finds Lover At Last", making the life-saving deed turn into a "passionate kiss" as some in the report called it. Sounds like we're in for some MAJOR public humiliation! ^_^ Any who, back to the show! Please read and review if you would be so kind! =) I won't update until I get enough reviews!

\\ Yami's Thoughts \\
// Seto's Thoughts //
Seto Kaiba grumbled and lazily plopped himself down on his luxurious, moss-colored couch on a bright Sunday morning. He ran his fingers along the edges of the cushions, trying to locate the remote control of the TV with both hands. "Ra damn it, where the hell did Mokuba leave the controller?!" Finally, he felt something solid and long, so he gripped it, and held it up. "Ah HA! There you are you little-… What the fuck, a He-Man toy!?" he shouted as he ever so carelessly tossed it behind him, as it crashed into a nearby lamp and shattered it. But the hard-ass Kaiba didn't give a shit. He proceeded to scrounge around for the TV remote if it was the last thing he'd do. Come to think of it, does Kaiba ever give a shit? Nuh uh. Didn't think so.
Finally finding the controller under a pile of Mokuba's Superman pjs, Seto once again flopped onto the large cushioned couch, and turned on the television with the click of a button. The station was none other than the weather channel, and the young woman forecaster with the high-pitched voice was back once again.
"Good morning Domino City, and welcome back to the channel 8 news, news, NEWS!" she squealed, showing a fake smile that would send any straight man rushing to the bathroom to vomit. Come to think of it, any gay man would do the same. "Now, on to the weather forecast…" As she walked across the screen, her fake size D breasts swung back and forth like a toddler carelessly holding onto a balloon when it was all blown up.
// Oh Ra… This lady's such a slut. I thought they were going to get a new weather forecaster last month! Ugh… This woman makes me sick- // Those were the last clear thoughts Seto Kaiba had, before his life changed forever.
On the television, the station turned from the weather forecaster with something shoved up her ass, to the "Top News Report". Seto groaned and put a hand to his head. "What's so damn important that they have to interrupt the weekly weather forecast for?!" Pausing a minute, thinking back to the lady with the extremely short skirt, squeaky voice, and sickening appearance, Seto smirked slightly. "You know what… never mind."
"We bring to you a Top Story here this morning, as I'm sure you'll all be very speechless and awed." said a male news reporter, whose voice sounded gay as hell.
Seto sighed heavily. "What, did the ice cream factory blow up again? I swear those people need to learn how to manage a business…" Seto put a hand to his forehead, amusingly awaiting the news that had just interrupted his daily weather program.
"We have made a startling new discovery about the current leader of Kaiba Corporation, Mr. Seto Kaiba himself. Here is an image taken by an anonymous person who claims to have first-hand witnessed this action." Suddenly, a photograph of Seto Kaiba giving mouth to mouth with Yugi Mouto's darker half on the beaches of Domino came onto the screen.
Kaiba's eyes widened, and then narrowed suddenly in horror. "What the…" But just before he could say any more, the news reporter was going on.
"Yes, you've seen it, and now you're going to hear it! The President of Kaiba Corp has FINALLY fallen in love!"
// …No… //
"Ah, but no, not just with an ordinary mate folks. This mate happens to be a MAN! Another man! Can you believe it?"
// Oh… Gods… No… // Seto's throat began to swell up, closing tightly, not letting any oxygen come in or out of his body. His mouth became instantly dry, and his tongue became shriveled. His eyes began to sting, and his lungs seemed to collapse, burning with an intense, invisible flame that seemed to devour him from the inside out.
"This means… that Seto Kaiba's sexual preference must be… homosexual!? Yes, that's right! Can the current CEO be… GAY?! Talk about your Sunday news, folks!! And this is just the tip of the iceberg, some people say! Whoa hoh, is THIS ever a surprising turn of events!"
Just then is when a hyper Mokuba decided to make his presence known in the room. "Hey, big brother! Did you see my He-Man toy? I think I left it somewhere down here, but I'm not sure." Mokuba noticed Seto was absolutely silent, face as pale as a full moon on a brisk winter night. Questioningly, he cocked his head to one side, and put a hand to his hip. "Um… big…brother?"
Seto's breathing became more rapid, and more labored with each second that went by. No matter how many times he gasped for air, no air seemed to pass down into his lungs. // I'm… suffocating… // Seto thought distantly. // No… I can't… they weren't… supposed to… // he trailed off, getting dizzier by the second, before collapsing onto the pillows next to him. That is when his mind gave out, and everything around him went as black as night.
"...SETO!!!" Mokuba screamed, rushing over to his older brother's side.

Meanwhile in Yugi Mouto's kitchen, the former Pharaoh had just now witnessed seeing an image of Seto and him on the front cover of the Newspaper, with the now all-famous headline on top.
"LOVER AT LAST!?!?!" Yami shrieked at the top of his lungs, almost shattering the glass windows, and Yugi's eardrums for that matter.
All little Yugi could do was stand there and blush frantically. He seemed somewhat ashamed of his Yami at that point in time. "Yami… care to… um… explain?" Yugi said as gentle as he could put it.
"Explain? EXPLAIN?!? EXPLAIN WHAT!?!" Yami was now on the edge of insanity, face flushed a mix of rosy pink and snow-white pale. Sure he had been crazy over the rich CEO before, but now that it was out in the open, and not knowing how it happened for that matter, things drastically changed for the Pharaoh.
"Well…" Yugi began hesitantly. "Is… Is it… true?" Yugi's violet eyes seemed to make its way to the floor. Yami couldn't tell if what he saw in his light's face were sadness, embarrassment, or absolute disgust.
Yami took the time to stand there, facing his hikari with his mouth still dangling open wide, gawking like a fool. \\ Shit… What do I tell him? I can't lie and say I don't have feelings for the man! It's all there in black and white! But… come to think of it, how in the HELL did it even GET there in the first place!? Whatever, I can't think of that now. What do I say to Yugi? If I say no, he'll wonder why there is an article about it in the paper. But if I say yes… Then what? I will be mocked for the rest of my life, that's what! Then again, with my true feelings out in the open, there will be nothing more to hide… But, I'm so afraid… I will end up hurt… Damaged emotionally… like an eternal scar placed upon my chest that can never and will never go away…. Oh Gods help me… What.do.I.SAY!? \\
Yami shuffled a bit, kicking a piece of invisible lint, wishing he were anywhere else but there. "Yugi… You see… I…" But his voice cracked, and he couldn't take the pressure any longer. His mouth went dry and his heart had dropped to the point where he felt ill. He could now only do one thing. Tell him the truth. \\ I can't lie to my hikari… After all, we share one soul… And he is just too innocent. If I lied to his face, not only wouldn't it make any sense to him, but it would also taint his image of me, as someone he looks up to. And I don't want to come out to be a horrible liar. That's it, then… I… I have to tell him… my true feelings… about Seto Kaiba.\\ Yami thought, even though there was this constant pain that repeatedly stabbed at his mind. He gave off one final sigh, and braced himself for what was to come. \\ Well… Here goes nothing… I hope I won't have to regret this later… \\
Yami tilted his head down to stare at Yugi's shoes, and made his voice seem just above a whisper. "Yes…" he said.
"What was that…? You're mumbling," Yugi stated the obvious.
\\ Well maybe that's because this is just the end of my life. No big DEAL, if you know what I mean. \\ Yami thought sarcastically. Then he spoke up one last time. "I said… yes. Yes, I do… I do like Kaiba."
Yugi's jaw dropped and hung openly for a few seconds, before he started talking once again, somewhat choked. "You… You are… I… see…" he stumbled, fiddling with his thumbs. "Actually… I don't see... I just don't get it, Yami. I just… I just don't understand how it's possible to see something in that guy… And you LOVE him?" Yami blushed slightly after the word "love" was spoken. He hadn't thought about his "relationship" with Kaiba be anything but lust. But love… it sounded so much more final, so much more serious and deep coming from another person. Yami had little time to think about this further though, as his light was still continuing on.
"But… I thought you two were… you know… rivals? It's insane! No… it's more than insane… It's impossible! You CAN'T have Kaiba! He doesn't even know you exist! And… I was the LAST person on this planet to even suspect you were homosexual! Were you always that way? Did you always have a thing for men?! Yami, do you know how RIDICULOUS this all sounds!?!" Usually Yugi would be more patient, understanding, and helpful, but today didn't seem to be one of these days. Instead he was more panicked than anything, and the Pharaoh wondered if little Yugi was embarrassed of his darker half.
Yami twitched slightly, taking in a deep breath. "I know... I know! We ARE rivals, but… I… I don't understand it either, okay!? Don't you think I've asked myself that Ra knows how many times!? Don't you think I KNOW that Seto only cares for himself!? Do you know how PAINFUL it is to run that over in your mind day after day, after DAY, telling yourself you can't have the one thing in this world that you WANT!?" Now the Pharaoh's voice was becoming more desperate and hysterical by the second. "And all you can do is stand there and CRITISIZE me for what I feel!? Well let me tell YOU something aibou, you may be my other half, but you know nothing of what it's like to be in love!! NOTHING, do you hear me, dammit!? NOTHING!!!!!" Yami's voice cracked on the last word he spoke, as he spun around quickly and took off outside, slamming the door behind him as he went.
And Yugi could have sworn he saw a few tears fly off his yami's cheek as Yami dashed away without saying another word.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~
It had been 5 days since the news report first appeared on television that unfortunate Sunday morning. 5 days of complete horror, confusion, and total embarrassment that drove Yami and Seto further and further away from the ones they called 'family'. And 5 days of mass media trying to sneak an interview with Seto Kaiba during his work hours.
"Didn't I tell you bastards before!? GET.OUT.OF.MY.FUCKING.OFFICE!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, voice hinting a bit of strain from the previous days of hollering at those damned reporters. When his yelling didn't even make the reporters flinch, Kaiba called in security. "Security, get those sons of bitches out of my office this INSTANT before I FIRE you all!!!" He didn't even wait for his goons to come. He immediately dashed out of his chair from his work area and ran into a nearby room, slamming and locking the door behind him.
Leaning against the wooden door, Seto sighed with anxiety. "Oh my RA! When will they ever STOP?!?" Closing his eyes to which dark circles had formed under days before, he slowly sank to the ground, clutching his knees with his arms, and started to sob in short, loud gasps. This was the first time in history that he could come to let himself cry. And the worst part about it was that it was uncontrollable. He couldn't even say what he wanted to out loud, so he had to think it.
// Is this what I get for liking someone other than myself? Is this what happens to me just because I have fallen in love with another person? Why did the fates have to be so CRUEL!? It's not FAIR!!! All of this just because my heart has finally decided to open up and take pleasure in another's warmth?! I… I can't DO this anymore! I can't stand this stress… the PRESSURE of everyone asking questions… The disgusted look on everyone's faces… Even… Even my little brother Mokuba stood yelling at me, as I stood helplessly back in shock… I just CAN'T do this! I… I need to get AWAY…!! // Standing up abruptly, Seto Kaiba grabbed his large briefcase full of items, and dashed out of the room through a secret exit that led to the back of the Kaiba Corp building.
He approached a black limo and found his driver Mr. Mayo having an afternoon lunch break, getting mayonnaise from his sandwich all over the seat's cushions and steering wheel.
"Who's a good lil' sandwich? YOU are a good lil' sandwich… Yes you are! Yeeeees you are! Cooooochy coochy coo!" Mr. Mayo said to his food with a high-pitched noise that I suppose you can call a voice, while petting his meal with his left hand.
Kaiba had to pause a minute to make sure what he was seeing was truly real, or if his limo driver was officially insane. Then, stabilizing himself, he brutally opened the door and slammed it shut once he got inside, throwing his briefcase on the seat beside him. "Driver, enough of your foolish lunch break! I demand you to drive me to my Mountain Falls Lodge IMMEDIATELY!! The one on the hilltop overlooking the city. And I command you to do it NOW!!!" Kaiba said with a brutal force behind it.
Mr. Mayo gulped, frightened for his life, as he stuffed the sandwich into his mouth and stepped on the gas pedal, mumbling 'yes sir', which sounded more like "Yah 'her!" with all the food chugged in there. He than began speeding down the highway making people on the sidewalks jump out of the way, fearing for their lives. But unfortunately for him, his sandwich's mayonnaise splattered all over his lap, making him have one hell of a major stain covering his groin area. "Aah... sheet!" is what it sounded like to Kaiba. But what the driver really tried to say was "Aww, shit!" Damn that evil-infested, mouth-clogging sandwich of his.
// I really need to get a new driver… // Seto groaned mentally, covering his face with his bare hands. // Ugh… This is just not my day… //
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~
The same 5 days had past for Yami as well, although it seemed to last a lifetime - a lifetime of loneliness and despair, that is. He hadn't talked to Yugi and the gang that much after the incident in Yugi's kitchen 5 days ago. He felt guilty that he had yelled too harshly at his hikari. Although a part of him felt angry that his little light didn't seem to have any sympathy for him, or so it seemed.
He had spent most of his nights on the city streets. It was summer, so he didn't have to worry too much about "cold weather" at night or anything of that sort. He would spend his days just walking mindlessly on the sidewalks of Domino, sulking from store to store, mall to mall, restaurant to restaurant, until he became bored, or until a flock of reporters seemed to find him at wherever he was at the time.
Yes, those reporters, who would ask him those same, damned questions every time they appeared, kept on taunting him and harassing him, doing just about anything to get out the truth, or to start more horrifying rumors. And even though each time, each question was the same, it seemed as if a new pitfall formed inside Yami's throat and stomach, forming one slash after another on his already weakened heart. The former Pharaoh felt as if the whole world were after him, caving in on him like a herd of barbaric wolves, hunting their prey without mercy. And Yami was that prey.
Finally fed up with everything and everyone around him, he broke into tears as he tore away from the reporters, and out of town, to a hillside overlooking the whole city of Domino. Collapsing from lack of oxygen and an already weakened body, he sat covered in dirt and mud-stained clothes, shaking from depression. He crawled up next to a tree on the hill, and curled up into a little ball, rocking back and forth, silently crying tears of agony.
\\ Oh my Ra… Oh my Ra… This can't be happening… Who could have DONE something like this!? Who… who would hate me this much?! I just don't UNDERSTAND!! What did I ever do to them!? I probably don't even KNOW them! Or else it's someone who has a severe grudge against me… \\ He mentally shuddered. \\ Oh my Ra… I can't breathe… I'm too weak to go on… I'll just… die here… Yes… That's what I'll do… This is a hilltop overlooking the city, so it is no where near anyone I know, and hopefully anyone who knows me. No one would ever find my body here… No one would find me for days, even weeks… This secluded little area is perfect to rest in peace… Yes… in peace. \\
His mind was spinning and he felt dizzier and dizzier by the minute. Everything started to sway, and he felt sick to his stomach, to the part where he felt he was going to collapse from lack of sleep and a weak body.
All of a sudden, the silence of the evening skies and the thoughts of Yami were broken by loud footsteps creeping up from behind. Yami looked up, eyes half lidded, looking as if he was going to faint any moment. Looking up just before he passed out on to the warm ground, he saw one person standing against the color-changing, dusk sky. The figure looked like a God, so beautiful, and seemed to illuminate around his surroundings. That is when Yami fell on to his side blacking out, hair falling into his tattered face, his body still trembling from the previous cry.
The figure, seeming to glow from the way the sun's rays hit its clothing, walked cautiously over to the befallen body that was Yami's. Pausing for a minute, the figure bent down, and ever-so-gently brushed those loose strands of hair out of the exhausted, pale face. Smiling grimly, the figure scooped up the Pharaoh into its arms carefully, carrying him away to a nearby building with a sign in front of it that read, "The Mountain Falls Lodge".

Frazzle: Well, that's the end of the 4th chapter. I hope you enjoyed!
Mr. Mayo: I know I did! *smirks as he digs into another one of his mayonnaise sandwiches*
Seto: -_-; You're obsessed… I knew I should have gotten a new limo driver last month when I still had a chance…
Mr. Mayo: ^_^
Frazzle. Reviews would be nice too! This chapter was kind of long. Well, longer than my other ones at least. So that's why. But you guys are all great. I'll be happy with however many I receive. I'm just so surprised people actually read my stuff! Thank you all! You're the best reviewers any author could ever ask for! =) Oh and um, about chapter 5. It will have some *adult* scenes. Yes, like a lemon. So don't read it if you are against the new "rule" that fanfiction.net has put up, banning lemons. If you don't like it, why read it? It only spoils it for the people who enjoy this kind of thing. And I am more of a mature writer. I wouldn't write something such as a lemon scene if it wasn't significant to the story. Plus, I even had requests for one! Soo…. Get ready, and hopefully you will continue to enjoy the story. Ciao!
Mr. Mayo: *chomp chomp chomp* ::chokegagcough:: I think… it went down the wrong pipe… X_X
Seto: GRAAAAAH!!!! *pulls out his hair* See what I have to go through?!?
Everyone in the Room: *backs away slowly with fear*
