**The Night Before Yami Collapsed And Was Carried Off To The Mountain Falls Lodge**

The loud rings of a telephone rang non-stop throughout the room.  Ryou, now awaken by the interruption, groggily wiped the sleep out of his soft, brown eyes as he shuffled into his living room. But before he could pick the phone up to answer it, his darker half aggressively grabbed it off its resting place, practically pulling the cord from the wall.

"WHO DAAAARES AWAKE ME FROM MY MIDNIGHT SLUUUMBER…?!?!" Bakura yelled violently into the phone's receiver with a voice that would send chills down anyone's spine, or else make them pee their pants. "I'm WARNING you… If you're another one of those Ra DAMN women selling Avon, I'LL-" (1)

"Yami!!! YAMI!! Put...the phone… DOWN!" Ryou demanded, sounding almost like a trainer teaching a dog tricks. "What if it's not a sales person! You could be scaring them half to death!!"

Bakura pursed his lips, put a finger to his chin, and looked up toward the ceiling. "Oh, yeah. I never thought of that." A wide, devilish grin spread across his lips and a chuckle escaped from his throat as he threw the phone at his hikari's head, and walked away.

"Yow…! Hey, that hurt! …Idiot Yami…" Ryou whispered while rubbing his head.

Bakura tilted his head around so that only one side of his face was visible. His eyes narrowed to small black slits and his lips were parted, showing his teeth which looked like fangs from a distance. "What did you say?!"

"Uh… N-Nothing, oh great one!" << Man, I should really stop feeding him sugar before I go to bed… Now, who could be calling at this time of night… >> Ryou picked up the telephone from its place on the floor, and noticed it was chipped from being thrown. "Oh, bloody hell! That's the fourth time this month! …Uh - hello? May I ask who is calling? I apologize about the interrupti-"

"Ryou! RYOU!! Have you seen him!? Oh PLEASE say you saw him! Has he been to your house? Has Bakura seen him? Wait a minute… I hope Bakura didn't EAT him!! (2) Ugh… This is SO INSANE!!! I don't know if I can TAKE it anymore!!" Yugi's voice sounded beyond hysterical, almost to the point of insanity. No, it didn't sound like Malik's voice, even though Malik IS as insane as they come. Malik's voice is hot, sexy, and one of a kind. ^_^  (3)

Ryou's soft brown eyes widened to an even larger size. "Y-Yugi? Are you alright? Have I seen who? What are you talking abou-"

"YAMI!! He's MISSING!!! I haven't seen him ever since we had that little fight! Oh Ra… What if he's hurt?! What if he's stranded somewhere!? What if Miss Rose's poodle ATE him?!? (2) You know how that dog likes to eat everything!! What if it devoured him thinking he was an oversized grape or something?! These things can happen you know!! Ra, what if-"

"Yugi! YUGI! Please, try to calm down! I can barely understand you!" << Ugh… why me… Why this hour of the night… And just when I was starting to fall asleep, too… >> "Just, start from the beginning, alright? As slow and as calm as you can, TRY to tell me what happened with you two. You said you had a fight. What did you two fight about?"

Yugi sounded like he was crying from the other end of the phone. His breaths were uneven and his voice squeaked and cracked whenever he spoke. "It's just…" Ryou could hear him take in a deep breath before continuing on. "You know how there was that newspaper article a few days ago about Yami and Seto being lovers and all?" Yugi said carefully, awaiting Ryou's reaction.

"Oh yes, I remember. How could I forget… Bakura spent the whole afternoon laughing like a complete retard once he found out, while throwing beer bottles around the house pretending he was Tarzan. Ugh…I think I need a vacation…" When not receiving any replies from Yugi, Ryou continued on, afraid he may have scared the poor kid. "Umm, yeah. Anyways, what about it?"

"Well… I kind of… blew up on him…" Yugi's voice became a soft and scared whisper.

"You… what? Why?"

"I… I don't know… I guess I was just very surprised, that's all…"

"Were you… jealous?" Ryou said slowly and cautiously. It seemed his sleepy mind allowed him to say just about anything right now. When there was no reply, Ryou cleared his throat, and continued on. "Ok then… What did you say to him?"

There was a long pause, and Ryou began to feel like Yugi had left the phone. But then finally, Yugi responded even softer than the last time. "I called him insane…"

Ryou paused for a second to let all this sink in. "…Why?"

"And homosexual, and foolish, and ridiculous, and… and… And I sounded like such a jealous idiot…"

"So… You were jealous?"

"Yeah, I guess I kind of was… I said, 'You can't have Kaiba!' I didn't mean 'I want you instead!' What I meant was that Kaiba is the person I'd least expect for Yami to have a crush on. And why would Yami want it published in the paper? He seemed rather upset about the whole thing. Maybe Kaiba put it in or something..." Yugi's voice changed from depressed to curious all on one note.

"Who knows… Maybe we should ask him once we find him. I also heard on the Channel 8 News that Seto has been missing for several days, too... Coincidence, do you think?"

"What? Really? Oh Ra, I don't know… Do you think…" Yugi trailed off and started mumbling.

"What? Do I think what?" Ryou asked impatiently. His cranky, sleepy self was now taking over.

"Do you think… that perhaps they… are together? Right now? That they ran away and then went to each other?"

There was a long pause. No one said a word. Ryou didn't speak up, for fear of hurting Yugi's feelings, and Yugi didn't speak because his mind was too preoccupied with the whole idea of Seto Kaiba and Pharaoh Yami being together in this kind of condition. How do I know these things? I am the Goddess of Mind Reading. Mwahaha…

"I'm not sure, Yugi. It IS possible, but… What are the chances of them finding each other? Seto probably left the city. With all the money he has, he could live in a palace for the rest of his life for crying out loud. And as for Yami, he's probably driven away into some small apartment or subway or something, trying to hide from all those reporters that I bet are flocking over him. Maybe we should start a search tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's Saturday, so we don't have to worry about school or anything. And I bet if we call Tristan, Joey, Tea, and Mai, they would all be willing to help. I'll even try to get that dope Malik to come over and pitch in. That might take some convincing, but we need all the help we can get. Does… that sound okay to you?"

Yugi didn't have to say anything, but Ryou could have sworn he knew a small smile was placed upon Yugi's face right now. "Thanks Ryou. You're a great friend. I'm glad I called you."

Ryou smiled himself. "Anytime. Um, well actually… maybe next time you could try to call just a little bit closer to morning? I mean, it's the middle of the night and all…"

"Oh geez! I'm soooo sorry!! I got completely swallowed up in my huge rant that I totally forgot what time it was! I'm sorry Ryou! Did I wake you up? I think I may have woken your Yami though… Man that was scary…"

Ryou chuckled out loud. "Yes, he can be very scary. But don't pay attention to him. He's just a lousy idiot anyways."

"I HEARD THAT!!!!" Bakura shouted from an upstairs bedroom. This made little Yugi and Ryou laugh once more.

"Well, see you tomorrow then? We can meet at my house." Yugi offered kindly.

"Sure. See you then! Goodnight." Ryou said groggily.

"'Night!" Ryou heard the "click" on the other line and then proceeded to hang up his phone that was… falling apart.

"Ugh… Stupid Yami… Now I have to visit the nearest appliance store this weekend and spend all my allowance money on a telephone that will just get broken again. Why did the Gods have to pair me up with him?" Ryou looked heavenward, but noticed a certain pale-skinned, silver-haired clone was standing over him, arms crossed.

Bakura.

<< Oh crap… >>

"Why? I'll tell you why..." Bakura said, grabbing the front of his hikari's pajama t-shirt and drawing him close to his face. "Because, then I get to do… this."  Ryou barely had time to think about what he meant, before Bakura crushed his lips to his hikari's, so hard that he drew blood. Ryou was somewhat surprised, but then again they have done this before, and it was always out of the blue. Ryou never told anyone of their hidden relationship, if relationship is what you'd want to call it. Bakura never really called it anything but… well, sex. Saying it was a "relationship" might make Bakura angry, and he might start up his beatings again, Ryou thought with a slight shudder. And no way in hell could Ryou go back to that nightmare.

Ryou eventually kissed back and moaned softly against Bakura's mouth, which only made Bakura even more excited. Hungrily kissing his light, Ryou had to clench on to Bakura for support, grabbing a handful of hair just to try to stabilize himself. Lucky for him, Bakura grabbed Ryou by his waste, and carried him upstairs for a night of ultimate bliss.

<< I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep tonight… >> Ryou thought distantly, as he was carried away onto cloud 9 by the meaningful kisses of his dark lover.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

**One Day Later - The Day Yami Was Carried Off After Fainting - 12:00 P.M. **

It was the day everyone was going to start their search for finding Yami, and everyone was crashed at Yugi's place for the time being.  Joey was raiding the refrigerator, as usual… Tristan was flirting with an innocent Serenity, who Tea was trying to talk to in between. Mai was re-painting her nails and blowing on them, trying to get them to dry, and Ryou was held secure against the chest of Bakura, his darker half. Malik, to everyone's surprise, was even there. He was polishing his arm bracelets with a kitchen towel while whistling the tune "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Occasionally, people turned their heads to see just what he was so happy about. No one ever found out… Nor did they want to even ask about the insane Egyptian's behavior in fear of getting stabbed by the Millennium Rod.

Everyone was waiting for Yugi to come downstairs from taking a "quick" shower. But "quick" was not the right word for it. No, how about "1,000 years later"?

**In Yugi's Room**

"I just can't believe we're doing this…" Yugi mumbled as he placed his trademark Millennium Puzzle around his neck. "I can't believe I scolded Yami... What kind of an aibou AM I? I hope we find him soon… I miss him here."

"Hey Yugi, are you still up there, bud?" Tristan yelled from downstairs.

"Just a minute!" Yugi called after him.

"Ok… but hurry up or else Joey here is going to eat your entire food supply!!"

At this, Yugi groaned. 'That's Joey, for ya…' he thought to himself as he dashed down the stairs. "Is everyone ready?"

Everyone nodded slowly.  As Yugi's eyes darted quickly around the room, he noticed Malik Ishtar standing over by the sink. 'Man, I haven't seen him since Battle City…' Yugi thought. He glanced over the Egyptian with suspicious lavender eyes. 'I still don't trust that guy… But we need all the help we can get.'

Malik seemed to notice Yugi staring at him, and stopped whistling. There was a long pause, and then he spoke. "…What? I don't care if it's not Christmas yet! I love this song!! Rock on, SaNtA!!!" And he continued whistling once more.

Everyone around the room sweat dropped, until Yugi uneasily broke the silence. "Alright... Does everyone know where they are headed?"

Joey pulled out a map of Domino City. "Yeaaap. I'm checking all the slums in town, since I'm kinda used to the area already. He might be in some apartment or something. Oh… and also the food stores. Can't forget those."

"Idiot! Do you actually think Yami would be hiding out in a FOOD store?! He doesn't even eat, you fool!! (4)" hissed Bakura while snatching away the map from Joey's hands. "I'll be taking the north side of town where the mountains are."

Joey glared at the white-haired demon. "Ohhh, and I'm sure Yami is just camping out on a MOUNTAIN, singing "Raindrops Falling On My Head" with his other spirit pals?! And here you thought I was nuts."

"Well… he could be camping with Seto Kaiba." Bakura reassured the blonde, giving off a sly smirk. To this, Joey almost threw a punch at the tomb robber, but stopped once he heard his little sister speak up.

"Tristan and I are going to look for Yami by the beach. That's where you said you last saw him, isn't it?" Tristan stood tall next to Serenity, proud she would choose him to go searching with her.

"WHAAAAAT!??!" Joey hollered. "Tristan, you jerk! How dare you take my sister away from me!?"

"Aah, well what can I say… When you got it, you got it!" Another famous muscle-man pose by the teen left Joey fuming.

"Oh, break it up you two. Stop acting like children. This is serious." Tea commanded the group. "I'll be going downtown to see if he happened to waltz down there. You with me, Mai?"

Mai's face was cool and collected, as always. "Sure, hun. But if you get lost, I'm leavin' ya behind. It's every woman for herself out there."

"Yeah… sure." Tea glared.

"Malik, Bakura and I will ALL head to the mountains. There's no way I'm leaving him alone if he happens to find Yami somewhere up there." Ryou stated, sticking his tongue out at his darker half. Bakura almost chomped on it, but Ryou pulled away before any damage could be done.

"Fine with me," Malik said in his low, sexy Egyptian accent. He had finally stopped whistling and proceeded to put his arm bracelets back on. "But don't think I'm staying with you both for the whole trip. Besides, who would want to stick around and witness all that mushy crap that goes on between you two?"

Bakura quickly whipped around to give a death glare at the Egyptian, while Malik just smirked slightly. Ryou now had presented a faint blush to his cheeks.

"What does he mean?" Tea asked to no one in particular.

"It's nothing!" Bakura growled, slim vampire teeth showing.

"Alright. We all know where we are going…" Yugi said, changing the subject back to more important matters. "Let's meet back here tomorrow morning. Everyone set?" Yugi glanced around the group once more.

"Yeah, we're set, Yug." Joey ruffled the short boy's hair in reassurance. "Don't worry about a thing. We'll find Yami if it's the last thing we do. Right, guys?"

"Right!" everyone shouted.

"Yeah… sure..." Bakura mumbled, to which Ryou glared back at him. "What?" Bakura said innocently.

But even as he was running out the door, Yugi still couldn't help but think… 'I wonder if Yami really IS with Seto right now?'

** The Mountain Falls Lodge… now 7:30 P.M. **

The Mountain Falls Lodge was a huge building made of white stone, huge glass windows, beautiful sculpted landscapes, and a huge swimming pool the size of a baseball field out back.  Long, winding pathways made of sparkling cement was paved up to the mansion's front door, which in its own was beautifully carved and constructed. There was nothing else like it... And the place was only created for Seto Kaiba, who now carried a limp former Pharaoh in his arms and kicked the door open with his right foot. Well, so much for appreciating the door's beauty…

A butler came rushing up to Seto's side. "Mr. Kaiba, do you need help?"

Seto didn't say anything. His eyes were glazed over and he seemed to be deep in thought, as he walked right past the butler and into the elevator to the right.

"Uh… Mr. Kaiba? Are you alright?" the butler asked again, while seeing his master fade away behind the elevator's doors. "That was strange… And to think he had an unconscious man with him. Hmm… Oh well. I never will understand Mr. Kaiba's hobbies…" he said to himself as he shrugged and walked off.

Up on the 4th floor, the elevator doors slid open and Seto exited, proceeding to walk down a very long, well-carpeted hallway. He passed what seemed hundreds of doors, until he stopped in front of one with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon painted on the front and opened it.

The room was dark… Very dark indeed. He couldn't seem to find the light switch.

// Where the hell is it?! // Seto grumbled, almost dropping the Pharaoh out of his arms in the process. Yami slightly stirred when the lights came on, but did not wake. Relieved at this, Kaiba dimmed the lights so that it was just barely light enough to see, and walked over to his large triple king-sized bed. He then situated Yami under the blankets so he was all snug, then ran to get a cool washcloth. Yami had a temperature, it seemed. Returning back to his lover's side, Seto lightly dabbed the wet cloth to Yami's hot skin in short strokes, trying to ease the fever. // He doesn't deserve this… No one does. // Seto thought. // And he needs to get out of those wet dirty clothes before he catches pneumonia. Great, now I have to give him a bath!? With… with his clothes off!? I think I'm going to faint… Why did I even bring him in here, anyway? // He glanced down at Yami's face, eyes suddenly being hypnotized to Yami's lips. They were slightly parted, and his breathing was uneasy. // Because… // Seto thought to himself, once more. // I care about him... Deeply. // The former priest licked his lips, and bent down even closer to Yami's face… So close… that he felt his partner's breath on his skin, which sent shivers down his spine.

Just then, Yami's eyes fluttered and opened slightly, trying to adjust to their surroundings. Seto "eeped" and jumped back, falling off the bed with a very loud "THUD".

"Ow… shit…" Kaiba cursed, rubbing his head after landing on a Superman toy. "Ra, Mokuba taunts me even when he's NOT here!" He said, throwing the toy across the room.

"…Kaiba…. Is that you…?" came a voice from the bed above him.

Seto's face flushed as he abruptly stood up, brushing off. "Uh-Ph-Pharaoh. Y-You're awake. Oh…why-uh. I-I'm so glad you're-I mean…" he stumbled as he was caught completely off guard.

Yami looked at him in confusion. "What are… you doing here… in the middle of…no where…?" he said between pants.

Seto blinked twice, then remembered Yami had absolutely no clue he was taken to a nearby lodge. "Oh… This is my… lodge." Seto again stumbled.

"Your… lodge…?" Yami asked, breath becoming weaker.

Kaiba coughed. "Yes. This is the Mountain Falls Lodge. I…uh… I brought you here when I found you uh… You were um… you didn't look so good, so I uh-"

"Kaiba…" Yami interrupted. Seto stopped his rant to glance down at the Pharaoh who was now fading out from the world. "Help… me…" Then he promptly fainted once again, arms going limp at his sides.

"Pharaoh…? …Shit!!" Seto exclaimed while picking up Yami in his arms once again. "I don't care if you're the guy I'm in love with and you'll have your clothes off, I need to get you a damn hot bath right now before I loose you!" 

Running into the triple king-sized bathroom with the triple king-sized bathtub and the triple-ok let's face it. Everything was huge. Anyways, while running into the bathroom, Seto gently placed Yami on the floor on top of some towels, and violently swung open the closet. "Ok… which soap to use. Which soap… which-aw hell! I'll just use them all!!" He threw all the body products next to the bathtub, then ran to another closet and picked up an arm-full of shampoos and conditioners, not knowing which one's best. Next he grabbed a handful of soft clean towels, and threw them on top of the products that lay scattered. "I never felt so confused in my life!! Why do my butlers have to put over 1,000 different kinds of soaps and shampoo into a frikin' closet? How am I supposed to know which one would go best on my lover's delicate skin and hair!? What if I damage his perfect self!?! AAHH I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF!!!"

Flipping out while pulling on his hair, Seto also grabbed a rubber ducky and threw it in the bathtub. Turning on the water, he matched it so it was both hot and cold, evening out to be a perfect blend of warmth. But as he turned around, he slipped on a puddle of water and landed back-first into the tub. (What a clumsy jackass…) Cursing and choking under the water, he unstably slid over the side of the tub, and plopped on to the floor next to Yami, panting. "…All this for you…?! You better be worth it!!" he groaned. He was even surprised when Yami made no motion… no sign of awaking any time soon, even with all the noise. He then took off his soaking wet shirt while grumbling and tossed it aside, to reveal his very own bare, smooth chest. "You owe me a new shirt, buddy." He smiled slightly.

Taking off his drenched shoes and socks, Seto turned his attention back onto his task. "Oh…kay. Now… Last part…. To.. undress… undress…un… dress… Yam…" Seto took a hand and rubbed his eyes, which were now becoming foggy. "Ok Seto, you can do this… Just nice and easy now…"  Hands burning and itching, the former priest delicately slid his slim fingers under Yami's raggedy leather attire. // Man… is it tight under here or what? Why did he have to wear leather… This means I'll have no other choice but to do it harder… and faster… not THAT way you idiot! Taking off his clothes was what I was referring to! Evil mind… Stop thinking that way… // 

As Seto took off his leather shirt in one short, quick motion, careful not to get it caught around the former Pharaoh's head, he couldn't help but gape at the Pharaoh's bare chest. It was so perfectly toned… a creamy peach color. No ounce of fat present underneath, just beautiful sculpted muscles that made him drool to no end. Seeing this beautiful chest made Seto lean forward, hands itching for the need to touch the beauty before him, when suddenly he remembered the task at hand. // What are you doing, baka?! Groping the Pharaoh in his sleep?! Just how perverted ARE you? Ra… // Tossing the leather top aside, he then knelt by Yami's lower half, and could do nothing but stare at the zipper on his pants. These pants were leather too, and were skin-tight. Seto could do nothing but sit and stare, focusing all his attention on the silver zipper that stood between him, and his lover's precious parts.

// I always wondered what he looked like… underneath. Now… now I will eventually find out…? It's certain. I, Seto Kaiba, will now be stripping the drop-dead sexy Pharaoh's pants in his sleep. Ok… so who cares if he's asleep… It may be perverted, but… he needs to get cleaned off. I don't want him ill. He looks so pale… And I'm worried… He better not wake up again while I'm doing this! Evil… sexy bastard… //

Taking his thumb and a few other choice fingers, Seto Kaiba proceeded to unzip the leather pants very slowly and carefully. While doing this, his face flushed a very deep crimson red, and heat began to radiate off of his cheeks. Heart pounding in his chest, he stopped breathing just as he finished unzipping the zipper all the way. // Now… to pull off… I should do it fast so I don't have a heart attack… Come on Seto, get yourself together… Breathe… just… brea- // Seto stopped his train of thoughts, and his breathing for that matter, when he slid down his partner's pants, revealing that he had no underwear on whatsoever. "RAAAA!!!!!" he shouted, almost breaking a few windows. // HE DOESN'T WEAR UNDERWEAR!!??! I KNEW IT!!! HE WAS TRYING TO SEDUCE ME FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, PHARAOH!!!! // Struggling both physically and internally, Kaiba quickly stripped the rest of his partner's pants, trying not to stare too much at his private areas… He then placed him carefully in the nice warm tub, and to Seto's disbelief, he still was unconscious. Or… so he thought.

As soon as Seto turned around to sort through the thousands of shampoo and soap bottles, the "unconscious" Yami peeked an eyelid open, staring at the bare-chested CEO with curiosity. When Kaiba turned back around, the Pharaoh quickly shut his eyelids once more, and remained absolutely still.

"Alright, you…" fumed Kaiba, face even more flushed than before. "I'm giving you a Ra damn bath, no matter if you have your clothes on or not! So… deal with it or get out!"  When there came no reply, Seto banged his head against the tub's side. "Why am I talking to an unconscious man? It's not like he can hear me anyway…" he said, as he grabbed some soap and began to massage Yami's arms and neck with it. Even as he did so, certain areas of his body were beginning to tingle with unnatural warmth. // Dammit… stop giving me a hard-on! // he mentally cursed to the still body who was covered in bubbles. // Actually… I think I had a fantasy about this, once… Except, I was actually IN the tub with him. Hmmm… well, I can always… NO!! Ah, WAIT!! What am I thinking?! Going in there with him? …Hm… well, he doesn't look like he's going to wake up any time soon… and he really needs this bath to sooth his sickness and fever so… ah, hell. Why not? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, here! It's not like he'll ever know… //

Carefully stepping over the Pharaoh, Seto sat next to him in the large bathtub and continued to softly wash Yami. A few times he would 'accidentally' brush over his partner's length, causing soft moans to escape Yami's slightly parted lips. This only made Kaiba feel like he was going to explode even more, but he couldn't stop his actions at all. Instead he decided to stroke it slightly harder.  He began to take his thumb and gently stroke the tip, to which a choked gasp came from Yami's mouth, something between the lines of surprise and pleasure. But somehow, someway he still continued to lay absolutely still.

"I can't believe… this is happening." he whispered shakily as he removed his hand before he himself released. "However, a part of me wishes he were still awake… to enjoy what I am giving him… The look on his face… It's absolutely priceless."

"I… am awake…" came a soft whisper.

Seto sighed. "I can almost hear him now…"

"You… can hear me," came that same voice once more.

"It's like he's talking to me this very momen-" Seto just about screamed like a banshee when he glanced over at Yami, only see his eyes fixed on him with a large smirk plastered on his face. "…YOU'RE AWAKE!?!?!"

The Pharaoh chuckled. "I have been ever since you brought me here," he answered back in a low, husky voice as he crossed his arms. "What do you think you're doing to me, anyway?" he asked, eyes focusing on Seto's hands.

Seto's mouth was hanging open like a complete idiot. Here he was half dressed, sitting in a bubble bath with a naked former Pharaoh smirking at him. Oh, things were going great. So great. The blood had completely drained from his face, causing him to pale like he had just witnessed Mokuba transform into an evil ice cream man of doom. He felt so numb that he couldn't even feel his old hard-on any more, and there was a constant buzzing in his ears. "I…" // SHIT!!! How am I supposed to get out of THIS one!? I mean, what are the chances of him being awake?! // "Wait just a second… I thought you were ill! Unconscious!! …VERY ill!!! Very… NOT-AWAKE!!! You mind explaining!?!"

Yami just huffed and moved in closer to the former priest, lowering his voice even more. "I can't help it if I'm tired of keeping in my feelings. So what, I decided to play a little joke… big deal. I never asked you to take off my clothes and caress my sensitive areas." It wasn't meant to be a mean comment, but a very seductive one, making Kaiba squirm under his control. "Now…" he said, moving in even closer. This only aroused Kaiba more, as Yami placed a hand in the CEO's chocolate-brown hair and began to run his fingers through it. "You mind explaining the hand job you just gave me?" he said, inches apart from Seto's mouth.

// I… I can't breathe… // The billionaire could literally not breathe at all. He was too shocked this all happened so suddenly, so out-of-the-blue. Here was his lover, not even an inch away from his mouth, just begging him to take him in his arms and make love to him right then and there. // I… I can't let him do this to me!!! He shall PAY for what he's done!! // His eyes narrowed as he tried to clear his head. "No one makes a fool out of Seto Kaiba," he huskily whispered against the other's mouth. "NO one…"

Yami's eyes grew wide as he was suddenly being tossed over the CEO's shoulder and out of the bathtub. "HEY!! What's the big idea!? Unhand me now!!"

"Or you'll what?" Kaiba growled, now being his turn to smirk violently. "No one messes with me and gets away with it!! I thought you knew that by now, Pharaoh?" he chuckled as he entered his bedroom and threw Yami on the triple king-sized bed.

Yami just sat there dumbfounded as he stared at his lover reaching into a closet. "What are you doing?"

A few seconds later, Kaiba closed the closet doors and walked back with something jingling in his hands. "Ever heard of… bondage?" he chuckled devilishly as he rattled the hand-cuffs in his hands in front of the Pharaoh's frightened eyes. At this, he abruptly stood up trying to dash for the door, but was flung back onto the bed from Seto's forceful arms. "Nuh-uh. You're not going anywhere… You'll soon feel what it's like to be kept from something you so desperately want… but cannot have."

"…KAIBA YOU JER-" Yami began to scream, but his mouth was covered by one of Seto's hands.

"Now, now. Don't get TOO excited, love." Seto quickly tied a blindfold from his other hand around the Pharaoh's eyes and mouth, while pushing him back against the bed, chaining his wrists and ankles to nearby polls.

"KAAAAIIDAAA!!! ELEESE NE NOOOW!!!"

"I'm sorry, what was that? You'll have to speak more CLEARLY if you want me to actually understand what you're saying."

"KAAAAIIDAAA!!!!" he tried again, mouth being muffled by the tight cloth. It was useless. No matter how many times he bashed from side to side, the bondages held him firm in place. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"And you already are stripped of your clothing… Well, that makes things easier for me, now doesn't it?" he whispered close to the Pharaoh's ear, making tingles shoot up his partner's spine.

(5)"KAAAIIIDAAAA!! OU AR ONNA FAY FER DIS!! DO OU EAR NE!? 'ER ONNA FAY-AHHH!!!!!" But the Pharaoh could speak no more, for his thoughts were directed downwards on his private areas. Seto Kaiba now had his mouth around Yami's length, tongue licking the tip, sending screams and more bashings out of him. "KAAAAIIIDAAAA PWEASE STOOWP! OU'RE KIWWING NE!!!"

"I'm sorry… I still cannot quite understand you. Please speak a little…louder." He closed in on his length once more, making Yami shriek out an orgasm, wrists and ankles becoming raw from trying to break free from this pleasurable torture. Even though his face was covered by a blindfold, his eyes rolled back into his head, and he began to pant so hard he felt his chest would explode.

"Tired already? But the fun is just beginning!" Kaiba said as he climbed on top of his partner after disposing of his own leather pants.

"…Kaida… wha ar ou dwoing? …AHH!! STOWP TIS TORCHR NOW!!"

Kaiba just laughed and released his mouth tie only. "Let me ask you something…" he said slowly as he untied it carefully. "Have you, or have you not, ever fantasized about…" There was a brief pause. "About… making love to me?"

There was another brief pause, as Seto let Yami gasp for fresh air. However, the weight on his lower abs from Seto sitting there was driving him insane. "W-What?"

"You heard me…" he said, bending close to his mouth while slipping a few fingers into his partner's length, preparing him for what was to come. "Have you?"

There was another short pause. "Kaiba… You… I… You…" he managed to say between deep breaths. Yami could of sworn he heard his own heart-beat. It was so loud the whole world would be able to hear it, he thought. As he felt Seto's fingers slide into his entrance, his mouth dropped and he could no longer think properly. They were stretching him, preparing him. Occasionally, he struck a bunch of nerves that made Yami shiver with delight as his mind went blank. "Kaiba..." he gasped, arms still wanting to break free from his bondages.

Seto didn't wait for an answer. He slid his fingers out gently as to not further hurt his lover, and positioned himself directly on top. "Well… how about me doing this then?" Kaiba quickly came down into the warm entrance that was Yami's, followed by hearing his partner scream out in a mix of pain and undying pleasure. "How's that?" he mumbled through his own struggle of being overwhelmed by an orgasm.

"Kaiba… please… these hand-cuffs… Please… release me…"  It was a soft, quiet, desperate voice that no one could resist. Seto sighed and slowly reached over to unhooked each chain with care.

"Better now?" he cooed, untying the very last knot from the cloth that hid Yami's large violet eyes that were now burning with a passion like no other. Stroking his hair softly, he couldn't help but be lost in the other's violet orbs. 

"Thank you…" Yami replied slowly. All of a sudden, he pounced up and threw Kaiba under him, kissing him violently. "Kaiba… you bastard…" he moaned between kisses. "How dare you… do that… to me…"  Seto was kissing just as hungrily back. Their minds were flooded with nothing but an intense desire to be together. To hold one another. To finally get everything they ever wanted. And that something was each other.

"Hey…" Seto hissed from underneath Yami. "I wasn't finished with you yet!" Seto now once again took charge of being on top, and positioned himself once more. "Wait." He had stopped.

"…What's wrong?" \\ Great, he says to wait NOW, of all times!? Oh Ra, PLEASE don't say he wants to stop?! Oh RA no!! \\ Panic rushed through Yami as he curiously stared into his lover's crystal blue eyes that were now a dark shade of navy.

" I just wanted to know… Do you want this?" he asked carefully, frowning ever so slightly.

Yami now understood, and a small smile formed from the corners of his lips. "Kaiba…" he whispered gently. "I… I have wanted you for… for ever since I could remember. You're all I've EVER wanted...  No matter what, you're all I ever thought about, dreamt about… I even spelled your name out of ABC Vegetable Soup a few times because I couldn't stop thinking about you." At this, Seto chuckled and stroked the Pharaoh's soft cheek. "So of course I want it… Do… do you?"

Seto looked taken back. // He thinks I don't want him? How could he have any doubts? // "Of course I do. I have thought about you and dreamt about you as well… Although I'll have to admit I never spelled your name out of ABC Soup before." A laugh erupted from both of them. It felt good... to laugh with the one you love. "But I have drawn your name in the sand at Domino Beach, many times…" 

Continuing to feel foolish, they both blushed a tad of pink. "…I'm ready." Yami stated directly. "If you're ready, so am I."

He need not say anything more. Kaiba automatically plunged himself inside the entrance of his lover once more, this time staying there until Yami adjusted to his size. Stroking the tears off of the former Pharaoh's cheeks from the pain, he planted soft kisses on his nose, forehead, lips, eyelids, and cheeks where the tears had fallen. A few seconds went by, and he thought he'd test him to see if he was ready. Trusting a little inward, Yami emitted soft moans from his lips, to which Seto couldn't help but smile. He was indeed ready for him.

** Just outside the Mountain Falls Lodge - time now is 9:58 P.M. **

"Bakura… I'm getting tired. Can't we just call it in for the night? If Yami was up here, wouldn't you think we'd find him by now?" Ryou conjured up the cutest yawn he could, to show how exhausted from a day of searching he was.

"Hold on. We have one more place to look." Bakura pointed up toward a large building made of beautiful white stone, with huge landscapes and a long, winding sidewalk that led up to a beautifully carved door.

"Bakura's right. If we don't search everywhere, your pal Yugi will be in a huge fit." Malik stated the obvious as he yawned too. "But let's hurry up, alright? I'm getting tired, myself over here."

"Since when did YOU start to care about what Yugi feels?" Bakura growled back teasingly.

"Ah, shut up. I'm simply stating I don't want to hear the little brat whine when we get back because 'we didn't try our best'. …Gotta problem with that?" Malik's lavender eyes narrowed at the tomb robber who was about to pounce on him with anger.

"Bakura, please! Don't fight! Come on. Let's just… search this place and get it over with." 

"Fine by me." Malik said as he followed the white-haired boy's lead, followed by a fuming Bakura behind them.

Once reaching the door, Ryou politely rang the doorbell.  When no one answered, Bakura hissed. "No, you see, you gotta do it like THIS-" His foot kicked the door open surprisingly hard and made it fling open. Butlers and maids began rushing towards the door to see what all the commotion was about. "Get out of my way, you human fools!" Bakura growled as he held up his Millennium Ring, its glowing powers shooting out at the innocent civilians, sending them to the Shadow Realm. This was followed by maniac laughter from the tomb robber.

"BAKURA YOU BASTARD!!! We're here to find a guy, not kill everyone in sight!!" yelled Malik as he took out his Millennium Rod from his belt and held the dagger blade facing the crazy man.

"Come on you guys, stop fighting!! Let's quickly split up and try to see if Yami's here before you do any MORE damage!" Ryou huffed. He never liked the thought of his yami sending people to the Shadow Realm. It was a cold, dark place where your soul was devoured by Hell's demons if you weren't rescued in time. But then again, there was nothing he could do about it. "I'll take this floor and the second floor!"

"Fine. I'll take the basement." Bakura snarled, stomping off without another word.

"Well… guess that means I'll take the rest of the top floors," Malik said without hesitation as he walked into the elevator to the right.

About a half an hour went by when Ryou came out of the elevator back to the first floor. There waiting by a statue, was Bakura. He was staring at it menacingly with a knife in his right hand. "Come on. I DARE you! Hit me. HIT ME!!!"

"Um... Bakura, you alright there? …Are you talking to a statue?"

Bakura quickly turned around with the knife still high in his hand. "This THING is mocking me. Just LOOK at it! NO one messes with the great Bakura and gets away with it!! Do you hear me!?! NO ONE!!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"

Ryou just sighed heavily. "So, did you see anything down there in the basement?"

"-AHAHAH…no. Nothing. Not one trace of that bastard anywhere…. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Bakura kept on laughing like a maniac while Ryou just rubbed his temples. "I'll never understand how I fell in love with you… Hey, did you see Malik around here yet? It's getting late… It's about 10:30."

"Aw, who care about that idiot. Let's just leave and lock him in…" he chuckled insanely.

"Well… I'm waiting 10 more minutes. If he doesn't come back by then, we'll have to leave. I can't miss my TV. show that comes on at 11:00!!"

Bakura snorted. "You and your pathetic hobbies."

"HEY!!" Ryou screamed while taking his shoe off and throwing it at his yami's head.

** Back on Floor 4, with Seto and Yami**

Seto kept his thrusts even for so long, until the intense feeling of pleasure overwhelmed him, and he had to speed up.  Below him, Yami gripped to the sides of his partner while bucking up to meet each and every thrust that was given to him, savoring each moment.

"Seto… Can't… breathe… Dieing…" Yami gasped out when he could, although Kaiba was making it very impossible to think, let alone speak from all the orgasms he was giving.

The CEO could not reply to Yami's pleads, for he was in a predicament of his own.  He was still in shock at the fact he finally acted upon his true feelings. That he, Seto Kaiba, the rich president of Kaiba Corporation, the guy with the lightning rod shoved up his ass, as actually opening up to another. Although at this moment, it wasn't a lightning rod that was shoved up his ass, it was his lover, Yami.

Yami, the one who he had been rivals with for so long, had finally opened up to him as well. Although he forgave the former Pharaoh for playing that little prank on him earlier this evening, he still thought this was too good to be true. A small part of his mind wondered where this all was going to lead afterward. The public… Yugi and his friends… But he didn't want to think about it anymore. He just wanted to concentrate on the here and now. Of course, he couldn't think as it is. His mind was going blank, and flooded by nothing but pure lust that overwhelmed him greatly.

Their bodies became in sync as they did the exotic dance that all lovers do. Their souls felt ripped from their bodies as they saw stars.  They knew what was coming next. They could feel it happening.

First, it was Yami's turn.  His vision became white and he released his seed into his partner, who immediately after, returned the favor by doing the same, followed by a few more passionate screams.   Seto collapsed onto his lover's chest, fully out of breath and panting so hard he felt he was strangled.  Yami did the same.  They could both hear each other's heartbeat thumping wildly against their rib cages, burning, feeling if they would have gone one second longer, it would have busted from their chests.

Seto Kaiba slowly pulled out of Yami's now satiated entrance, and nuzzled his face under his neck.  Yami's panting eventually slowed as he absentmindedly stroked the CEO's tousled hair.

"Kaiba…" Yami whispered as he was trying to collect in his mind all that just occurred.

"Yes…?" Kaiba spoke quietly against the Pharaoh's neck.

"I… love you." Yami had tears form in his eyes as he said those three strong words that symbolized everything he felt for his partner.

To this, Seto smiled slightly and responded, "I love you, too, Yami," he purred.

The Pharaoh suddenly stopped stroking his hair. "What…?"

"I… I love you too.. Is there something wrong?" Seto now looked up into large violet orbs that seemed to be lost in thought.

"It's… nothing, except…" He took in a big breath. "It's just you never called me 'Yami' before. You always called me "Pharaoh" or… 'jerk' or… well 'bastard'. Never by my real name… until… now."

Seto blinked a few times before snuggling back under the neck of his partner. "Heh… well don't get me wrong… I'll always call you a jerk. How dare you pull that prank on me like that… pretending like you're hurt until I strip off your clothes?"

"Well… you don't hear me complaining," he smirked, placing another passionate kiss on Kaiba's lips.

A sigh followed those words. "What will I ever do with you…" Kaiba mumbled as they both drifted off to a dreamless yet peaceful sleep.

**Outside The Room of Seto and Yami**

Listening through a crack in the door, an evil Malik closes it gently. "Oh, this is TOO good…" he chuckled. "Good thing I brought my digital camera with me again…ALONG with my tape recorder. I knew somehow they would come in handy…" He chuckled insanely while waltzing down the hallway and into the elevator. "But this time…" he said, lowering his voice, "you won't get out of it so easily. Running away will not solve your problems now… Television, radios, national satellites.. get ready, because Malik Ishtar is ready to ruin the lives of these two once more." An abrupt laughter spread through the elevator. It was ear-shattering, the kind of sound it made. It was too… crazy. And that's when he spoke the final sentence of this chapter. "I'll ruin your lives just like you two… ruined mine."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

Frazzle: So… how was it? Sorry it was three months late. I had writer's block!! So sue me.

Malik: Ooh… more cliffhangers. I like those.

Bakura: NOOOO!!!!! NO MORE CLIFFHANGERS!!!! Need… MORE…! *dies*

Yami: I liked this chapter. I got… pleasured a great deal. ^_^

Seto: Same here. ^.^

Mokuba: AAHH!!! My brother is no longer a virgin!!! AAHH!!!

Seto: Mokuba… I'll still remember to feed you your daily ice cream. So don't worry about it.

Mokuba: …Oh. Ok... *short pause* …AAHH MY BROTHER'S NOT A VIRGIN ANYM-

Seto: *clamps a hand to his younger sibling's mouth* -_-;;

Frazzle: O.O; Any who… I don't really know when the next chapter will be out. You guys did great with all the reviews last  time =) Thanks bunches! I guess I'll update according to how many reviews I get. Anyways, ja ne!

Notes:

(1)   - I made Bakura ask if they were selling Avon because that same night I just got done watching Edward Scissor Hands, and the first scene they showed was a woman going door-to-door selling Avon. ^_^;

(2)   - Bakura likes to eat things in my stories. All KINDS of things. It's an unhealthy habit. Before, it is said he ate a squirrel raw when it made him mad by throwing acorns at his head. Go figure.

(3)   - Even though I make Malik out to be a real insane jerk in this story, he is my favorite anime guy of ALL TIME, and I wuv him. *hugs him* ^_^

(4)   - It's kind of weird. In my story, Yami is part spirit, yet has all the characteristics of humans, such as body heat, emotions, etc.  However, in most stories I've read, Yami and Bakura and Yami Malik (all the spirits of the Millennium Items) do not eat since they are not living. Eh, I don't know why I wouldn't let him eat in this story. It's just because… I didn't feel like it. :P

(5)   - If you are wondering what it was Yami was gibbering, (when his mouth was being covered/gagged by the cloth) here's what it is:  Kaiba!! You are gonna pay for this!! Do you hear me!? You're gonna pay!!" Just wanted to let all of you know who were kind of lost, per say, at that part if you didn't know what he was saying.
