Jounouchi had one of those acute senses of de’ja’vu when he opened his eyes to see gauze curtains around a familiar blue bed. The feeling cancelled out when his stomach tried to crawl up his throat and die. He rolled over, dislodging something cold across his stomach and puked all over the floor, retching until the contents of his stomach had taken themselves out. Bastard contents.

A soft, cold hand touched his sweaty forehead and Jounouchi tried to whimper, but only ended up throwing some bile up. G-r-e-a-t.

He retched until he was dry and the tears that had been steadily flowing down his face stopped. He really felt like shit now.

“Are you okay, now?” Seto Kaiba murmured with an odd tone in his icy voice.

Jounouchi shook his head mutely, afraid to open his mouth lest his body find something else to throw out of there.

Cold hands drew him gently back on the bed and Jounouchi wrapped an arm around his own stomach as it gave a queasy growl. The other hand went to his mouth.

“Better?”

What was this, stupid question time? Jounouchi shook his head feebly, no.

The vampire shifted back, murmuring a few reassuring words to the fairy as he slid off the bed. “I’ll be right back with something to cool your forehead.”

Jounouchi nodded a little. Stupid Japanese vampire, he didn’t need a cool head, he needed painkillers and blood infusions and a memory wipe. In that order no-less.

The blonde’s stomach took it’s time settling and while it did Jounouchi noticed the rumpled sheets around him, it was too rumpled for one person to have of been alone in the bed, but too close for privacy… had Seto Kaiba been sharing a bed with him? Was there something seriously wrong with the fact that his mind didn’t try to shudder at this thought?

The thought brought laughter to the tip of his tongue but he also felt bile rise so he swallowed painfully instead. He realized that he had a headache about then.

The next few moments were a bit fuzzy for Jou, there was some whispered questions, cold hands and a frigid-fuckin’ ice-cold cloth placed over his head and then there were Seto Kaiba’s eyes and deep murmured words and he figured he just fell into the pull of those eyes.

Jounouchi woke to a gentle shaking, he peeled his eyelids back to slowly focus on eyes with cat-like pupils, his own pupils slit themselves and he smiled weakly. The rescue team had found them. “Wer bist er?” (Who is he?) A voice asked the Fairy softly in German.

Jounouchi shook himself awake and slowly sat up, he felt a bit weak in the stomach still but the headache had passed, it was always a bitch to fake colds when you had a fast supernatural healing rate. Seto Kaiba was sleeping like… well, a vampire, very close to Jounouchi’s body. The brunette looked so nice in his sleep, not like the frigid cold bastard he was in waking hours. Jounouchi noticed the way the vampire’s arm reached out, so close to Jou’s body it would be touching if it weren’t for the fact that Jounouchi had sat up.

“His name is Kaiba Seto.” Jounouchi responded in Japanese. He brushed a stray bang from Seto’s face. The action didn’t even stir the undead creature. It must have been the middle of the day.

The Fairy that had woken him moved back a little, brown hair sticking to its usual style like glue. Honda motioned the rest of the team over. “Can you tell us what happened?”

Jounouchi’s mind took a moment to register the question, it was a natural response people had to horrible things they didn’t want to remember. “I… geez. Where to start, this whole operation has been a total screw up.”

Honda sat down and let his eyes return to their human guise. “I’d gathered that, or I wouldn’t be here, start from where it went from wrong to right, didn’t you guys get in?”

Jou sighed, sitting cross-legged on the bed. He noticed the floor had been cleaned; there wasn’t even a stain from where he’d thrown up. “We got in all right; in fact, everything was going according to plan. L-Lance and Dave distracted the guards and police while I ran off with the doll… but…” He glanced at Kaiba, if he told what the vampire had done, Seto Kaiba would be killed. No questions asked, it might start a war between the undead and the Fairies, and with pressure from the Elves already about to break into war… it would result in dreadful catastrophes.

“The explosions from der’ base blowing up rocked da’ ground and I trip’d, I was knock’d unconscious by da’ fall. Kaiba saved me because he knew me from my previous identity as a Japanese school student. He hasn’t been initiated inta’ da’ vampire’s culture for some reason, so he didn’t know ta’ keep out of da’ area. I s’pose it was lucky for me. After I’d woken up several hours later we realized dat’ I was’ not in possession of da’ Queen’s mannequin and we went back ta’ attempt retrieval… I… couldn’t… couldn’t contact da’ team, the walkie talkie… they wouldn’t respond and… Dear Queen… I didn’t know Elves could do dat’.” Jounouchi shook his head, as if trying to erase the memories from his mind. The jaw; someone’s lower jaw, rocking as if it should have made a sound like a rusty door opening and closing.

Honda hushed him and brought up a medic globe. “They were dead?”

Jou nodded and brushed Honda’s hand away. “I’m fine, Honda. No need for a check over.”

“You sure? You didn’t wake very easily and you don’t look so good.”

“I… I probably just hurt my head when I fell over, I was out for a while; Kaiba said it looked like a concussion, but it’s healed now.”

Honda frowned. “I still want to take a look.”

“Don’t worry I’ll be fine.”

The brown haired Fairy growled and tackled Jounouchi, pulling his friend’s head to one side as he spoke several words in their native tongue. Jounouchi howled like a wild-cat and kicked and thrashed, but he was still too weak to dislodge Honda’s form from him. The brown haired Fairy frowned and forced Jou’s head the other side. He snorted in triumph and pulled back.

Jounouchi growled and shoved Honda. “How dare you!”

“How dare I?” Honda hissed. “I knew you were lying the minute you said you’d fallen over. There is no reason for you being here. I was right; you lied to me to protect the vampire. Ever since we first came to Japan that bastard was such a fucking problem! We were meant to be having a vacation and all you did was spend every moment moping over him!”

Jounouchi shoved Honda’s shoulder again. “What are you, so fucking jealous of him? Even after I broke it off between us three centuries ago you’ve been like a fucking jealous boyfriend! It’s not your fuckin’ business what I do with my personal life.”

“It is when it affects a mission like this! I’m telling the Queen, don’t think I’m not.”

Jounouchi recoiled. “Please, Honda… don’t…”

The other Fairy shook his head. “No, I’m telling her, he screwed up the last cleanup of the Wars, if you’re lucky you’ll get to say goodbye before they kill him.”

Jounouchi rushed forward. “You don’t understand! If we kill him the vampires could go to war against us! Who knows how their society works, how many there are, we could very well be completely destroyed, with the war between the Elves open again now… war with them would be disastrous!”

“Don’t give me that bullshit, you said it yourself, he’s cut off from other vampires, that’s why he didn’t know to avoid the area. Chances are they probably don’t even know he exists!”

“What if they do? What if he’s some sort of experiment for them? What then? Please, Honda… for me… please, don’t tell anyone…?”

Honda pinned the blonde to the bed with supernatural ease. “What’s in it for me, Jounouchi?”

“Anything, Honda. Anything, just leave him be.”

The brown haired Fairy snorted in annoyance. “Always anything for you little pet, isn’t it? Christ, you’re so pathetic when you admire people. Like a freakin’ dog. Sometimes I think your cousin should see you when you get like this. The family would be ashamed.” He turned his head. “Fine, I won’t tell, but you owe me big time. I mean it, this is a serious favor.”

“You have my oath that I will do anything to keep that favor.” Jounouchi hissed back.

“You’d better, Duke Katsuya, you’d better.” The use of Jounouchi’s Court title sealed the bargain. Honda eased back off his friend and glared at the still-sleeping vampire.

“Should have killed him long ago.”

Jounouchi sat up slowly, bile rising in his throat. What had he done? For a bloodsucker no less. But still, he didn’t want to see the end of Kaiba Seto just yet.

“What time is it?” The blonde asked, straightening his clothes.

Honda checked his watch. “It’s four in the afternoon. Here, we brought some clothes. Go take a shower and change. You look like shit.”

“Thanks.” Jounouchi muttered sarcastically. He took the offered duffle bag and clambered to his feet. The world didn’t spin this time. It was an improvement at least.
