Leftover Love
Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu-gi-oh or the movie “Excess Baggage”- so there! Oh, I guess that’s a bad thing, hum... Warning from chapter one still applies.
Ok I’ve come to the realization that I am a slow writer. Sorry. I know this chapter is long overdue but school has kept me busy lately.
I want to thank everyone for reviewing my last chapter: Pharaoh Atemu’s Angel, Queenoftheskies16, ladywolfTerri, actressgh, Wolf and Dragon, SoulDreamer, Kaworu85, S. Chensu and Luff, Strega, Yana5, Sansi, kenshinfan21, Towairaito Zoon, Shinimegami7, xamosy, pyromanicgrl, and Shire. It’s nice to hear that people are enjoying the story and are willing to deal with my slow-writing abilities.
Actressgh You asked a good question, I’m sorry I wasn’t more explicit in detailing Marik’s injury. Actually Yugi’s hands were tied up so he put his big mouth to good use and bit Marik’s nose. I know, I’m turning poor Yugi into a freak. I’m a horrible person. (Evil laugh)
Wolf and Dragon I know it was a month ago but I hope you did well on your spelling test.
Kaworu85 First off, I have to admit to being clueless- what does NOH mean? I’ve been pondering this since I read your review and it’s starting to drive me crazy not knowing. Oh and second, I am surprised that there aren’t a lot of fics where Solomon Motou acts bad. I guess everyone else has their hands full with Marik, Bakura, and Anzu. Oh well I think it’s fun changing bad guys and I’m definitely not through with Solomon yet.
Ok now onto the next chapter. Everyone enjoy reading and tell me what you think afterwards.
Chapter Eight
In Seto Kaiba’s mind the plan was very simple.
Step 1- Find and trail Yami Sands until he returned to where the brat was being held.
Step 2- Walk in with the money he ‘borrowed’ from his employer and Yami, without permission of course, and lay said money in front of the greedy kidnappers.
Step 3- Grab hold of the brat and toss out of the building with firm orders to wait in the car.
Step 4 (his personally favorite step) The moment the munchkin had stepped out of the building give all greedy thieves nice little bullet holes in their foreheads, Yami first.
Step 5- Take back borrowed money and return money and brat to Motou.
But being the young genius Kaiba was, he knew sometimes steps had to be changed. He figured he could always do step 4 before step 3 and console the brat afterwards by buying him some candy.
He had never planned on the fact that Yami didn’t know where Yugi was. Yugi himself when he called him had told him to ask Yami. But if Yami had been so utterly knowledgeable about everything, why had he spent the entire afternoon in a pool hall getting smashed? Seto stared coldly at the young thief as the boy gulped down another mug of beer before letting out a sob which sounded suspiciously like ‘Yugi’ and slumping face first into the counter top. This was the piece of trash which Yugi had grown attached to? He was definitely going to have a talk with the munchkin when he got him home safely about hanging around with a better quality crowd. One that didn’t pass out in bars.
Seto had just about reached the limit of his patience when a tanned boy in leather pants and a hooded top entered the room, and glided over to Yami where he draped himself over the boy.
“Wakey, wakey Pharaoh,” the bleached blond called softly as he leaned over the boy’s neck and whispered softly in his ear. Seto couldn’t make out what he was whispering from across the room, but he clearly saw as the boy opened his mouth wide and bit the spiky haired youth’s ear. The entire room heard as Yami yelped in pain and got up, throwing the blond to the floor and holding onto his ear which was dripping blood slowly down his face.
“What the hell was that for Marik?” Yami yelled at the boy.
Marik chuckled softly from his spot on the floor and rubbed the bridge of his nose where a bandage was now present. “Revenge.” he answered simply.
Yami glared at him and sighed before holding out a hand to help the blond up. “Where is Yugi, Marik? I don’t want to play your freaky sex games right now.”
Marik pouted as he stood up, "No one ever wants to play with me. Even your little slut refused." Yami's crimson eyes widen at the remark and then narrowed in rage. His entire body trembled with emotion and his fingers tightened into fists as he opened his mouth to reply. But Seto had had enough of watching these two fools argue. It was time to do things his way.
"A slut? That's a new one. I usually just call him a pain in the ass." Seto remarked as he walked up to the two idiots.
Both boys turned around to stare at him and Kaiba watched as Yami visibly relaxed as he caught sight of him.
"Who are you? Another boyfriend?" Marik asked curiously. Seto tried hard to keep from letting any of the disgust show in his face from the mental image that brought to mind.
Yami grinned and pointed at him eagerly, "That is my friend with the money. Now are you going to take us to Yugi or should I let him show you his gun collection up close?"
Marik visibly paled and got to his feet, motioning the two to follow him. Seto glared at the smirking tri-colored haired youth and grabbed his wrist, pulling him close to talk to him.
"Listen kid, I'm only doing this to save Yugi. I don't like you and if you ever call me a friend again there won't be enough pieces of you left over for anyone to identity." Seto snarled before releasing him.
Yami stared at him a moment before smirking. "It disturbs you, doesn't it Kaiba? You don't like caring for other people, you think it's a sign of weakness. The thought of making a new friend leaves you shaking inside, doesn't it?"
Kaiba rolled his eyes and snorted. "Spare me the friendship crap Yami. Let's just go rescue the brat so I never have to see you again."
Yami nodded and started to head out the door but Seto couldn't help but hear the muttered words out of the other boy's mouth. "Boy do you need to get laid."
Really step 4 of his plan was starting to look better and better as his grip tightened around the pistol at his waist. The only problem was the waiting.
------------------------
Yugi could hear Bakura stomping around the showroom, throwing things around the room, and cursing as he silently slid across the ceiling tiles. He had jumped up on the office desk and up into the ceiling space right before the two thieves had come walking into the office. When they couldn't find him Marik had left to go get Yami and Bakura had started "The Great Yugi Search." It really wasn't so great and not much of a search since it mostly involved destroying anything to get in the thieve's way. Yugi was just grateful it wasn't him down there facing Bakura. He hoped that Yami was coming soon to rescue him because living in the ceiling his whole life wasn't really an appealing lifestyle. His prayer seemed to be answered when the door to the garage grinded open and a car pulled into the showroom.
"Who the hell is he?" Bakura demanded as Seto stepped out of the car after Yami and Marik.
"Is that any way to treat your guests?" Seto asked dryly as he wandered through the showroom, pausing to admire the cars inside.
"He has the money you demanded Tomb Robber so just shut up already." Yami announced smugly as he followed Seto around the room.
"Bastard, how dare you tell me what to do!" Bakura hissed angrily, taking out a knife from his trench coat. "I'm the one holding the threat of life or death over your little whore and you insult me? You're going to pay for that Pharaoh."
Yugi paused from climbing across the ceiling tiles when the voices stopped for a second and pressed himself against the ceiling, straining to make out what was happening. When he heard a sickening thud of a sharp object slamming into something below his breathing stopped and his heart pounded in his ears.
'Did Bakura hit Yami with one of his knives? Was his lover dying below while he scampered like a scared little mouse in the rafters?' Yugi shook his head and brushed the tears out of his eyes. He was a Motou dammit and he was not going to just roll over and let the people he cared about the most in this world get killed because of him.
Quietly as possible Yugi reached down and pulled the ceiling tile in front of him up, so he could peer down at the room he was currently lying over. The room he was looking at was actually a stairwell, along the back of the showroom. Carefully he jumped down from the ceiling and landed low on the stairs, silently creeping downstairs. The stairwell led to a small storage area, and Yugi could hear voices coming through one opaque wall of the area, making the assumption that beyond that wall was the showroom and his lover.
Frustrated by the wall keeping him from doing something, Yugi kicked the object, cursing as the wall refused to budge. Hopping around on his uninjured foot he bounced over to the corner where a large sheet covered up a piece of equipment. Accidentally Yugi tripped, knocking the sheet to the ground and displaying the front half of a convertible, held by a fork lift. Yugi swore heavily from his spot on the floor, tangled in the large sheet, as his foot throbbed in pain. Then he glanced up as the voices grew louder and started yelling. He couldn't do this- just sit there and wait for everyone to kill each other. Looking up he glared at the convertible, and then the wall. Even if it killed him, he was going to get to the other side of that wall.
--------------------
Yami jumped back as a large knife embedded itself in the car he was standing next to. Seto didn't even flinch as he dropped the bag of money he was holding and pulled out the pistol from his belt, aiming it first at Bakura, then Marik.
"I don't suggest trying that again thief unless you want a bullet hole in your forehead. Now where's Yugi?" Seto demanded.
"You want Yugi- you drop the gun." Bakura scowled, holding up another blade.
"Quit playing with the silverware and give up the brat- I've had a really long day and I don't need this crap from some two-bit thief." Seto sneered.
"I would listen to Bakura." Marik spoke up from next to Kaiba. The brunette flicked his gaze slightly to the right for a second to see the other goon, inwardly hitting himself for not keeping track of the bleached blond when his gaze froze on the blond. Marik was currently holding a struggling Yami in his grasp, one arm around his waist and the other holding a long thin blade to his throat. The knife was actually pretty impressive since it was connected to intricately carved golden scepter, similar to the golden necklaces around Yami and Bakura's necks. In the back of Seto's mind he pondered how the pathetic thieves had stumbled across treasures like these, until Marik jerked his hand and cut into Yami's throat so that a small trickle of crimson dripped down his neck.
With a sigh, Seto lifted his hand and tossed the pistol across the room, until it slid to a stop in front of the garage door.
"Take it." Seto growled as he silently added, 'I have others.'
Bakura seemed in no hurry to collect the gun and instead walked over to pick up the bag of cash, pulling it open to reveal the contents. "Well it looks like we now have everything we wanted, what do you say we finish this little job? I'm quite eager to see what the Pharaoh looks like with one of my knives sticking through his heart and you bastard are so arrogant I would be doing the rest of the world a favor by taking you out of it." Bakura announced as a sadistic grin twisted his face. Seto glanced over at Yami to see the spiky haired youth shoot him a frantic look as the bleached blond leaned down to lick at the blood pooling around his throat.
"You taste sweet Pharaoh." Marik murmured.
"Pervert! Bastard!" Yami started yelling, but everyone ignored him. Seto glanced around him quickly, he needed to do something but without a distraction, he wouldn't be able to reach his guns before Marik stabbed Yami. Bakura reached into his trench coat to retrieve yet another blade when suddenly, the world erupted in chaos.
----------------
Yami thought he was a goner. Kaiba was weaponless and Marik was both slitting his throat while at the same time feeling him up. Who knew where the hell poor Yugi was. Just as Marik started to apply real pressure on his throat an explosion came from the far wall. Yami used the distraction to grab hold of the blade and pull it away from Marik, tossing the knife behind him. Marik came at him with a fist, but Yami ducked and tried one of his own, which Marik did not miss. When Marik collapsed on the ground, dazed, Yami took the time to look at the far wall and see what the hell happened.
And there he found his Yugi, sitting in a fork lift, which he had apparently driven through a wall.
By Ra, his aibou was insane. And he had never loved him more at that moment.
Yami went to go hug some sense into his lover when he heard a small moan of pain. Remembering his new acquaintance, Yami turned to see Seto slowly pulling a blade out of his shoulder while he coldly glared at the Tomb Robber. Yami longed to help the brunette kick that smug bastard's ass but he was weaponless and out of ideas. Fear and frustration crept over the crimson-eyed youth as he realized they had been so close to winning this fight and now they might all be killed, even his innocent lover. Groaning he looked over at Yugi's face to see the boy's sparkling amethyst eyes widen in surprise.
And then a gun shot broke the silence.
-----------------
Seto Kaiba could not believe he had gotten injured. He was unbeatable, no one could best him, ever. Slowly he pulled the bade out of his shoulder and dropped it to the ground. The pain never registered for him as he glared at the thief who dared to ruin his reputation. This had now become personal. He was going to see this bastard fry in hell for daring to mess with Seto Kaiba. He was in such a haze of rage it took him several minutes to notice a gun had fired and that the object of his hate was now falling to the ground with a bullet lodged in his thigh.
"That's what ya get for tossing Joey Wheeler outta a moving car. And there's more where that came from ya chumps. Just try me, I'm eager to pay back the goons that dared to mess with my pals." a smug, overconfident voice called from behind Seto.
The brunette turned with raised eyebrows to look over the shooter. The voice belonged to a blond teen with a casual slouch and the most ridiculous grin Kaiba had ever seen on a person. The blond twirled the pistol in hand like an idiot and waved as Yami called out his name. Seto noticed that the gun was his that he had thrown away earlier and hoped that if the boy accidentally shot himself no police officer would try to blame him for the clown's stupidity. Although clown really didn't cover the boy, Seto decided with another look. He looked more like a stray puppy with warm chocolate eyes and shaggy blond hair.
"Joey you came back and saved us." Yami laughed happily as he walked up to his friend, Yugi clutched firmly in his arms.
"Yeah well, ya know Yams, I couldn't let ya get hurt, you're my best bud." Joey said sheepishly, scratching his hair.
"Excuse me mutt but you have something that belongs to me and you better hand it over slowly before you shoot yourself in the foot." Seto announced, holding out his hand expectantly. Joey bristled at the insult and growled at the brunette, getting ready to hit him. Yami stepped in however and grabbed the gun away from the blond and handed it to the rightful owner.
"Thank you too Seto for saving our lives, I'm sorry you got hurt." Yami apologized. Yugi acted strangely quiet, glancing at the three boys before settling on Seto.
"So what happens now?" Yugi finally asked.
Seto stopped glaring at the blond who was making faces at him to look down at the pistol in his hand. There were probably another three bullets left in the gun.
"Now you go home. The only real question is what we're going to do with the thief and his pup here." Seto said pulling his hand up to point the pistol in Yami's face. His entire five step plan might have gone to hell but his favorite step could still be carried out. No one spoke as he pulled back the safety on the gun. At this close range, there would be no mistakes.
Tbc...
Wow ok that took a looong time to write with all the changing points of view. Plus I think it kinda sounds like I'm gonna go kill off everyone. Hum. Well I guess we'll see next chapter. Hey are any of you Seto/Joey fans? I usually put Joey with Mai but I figured Seto was acting like a bastard in this fic and needed someone to cuddle. Don't expect anything really intense to happen between those two though, cause next chapter's gonna be the last one. Sorry folks the story is almost rolling to a complete stop but hang on for one more round. And now I've babbled too long so I'll go away now. Here I am going. Bye.

"Now you go home. The only real question is what we're going to do with the thief and his pup here." Seto said pulling his hand up to point the pistol in Yami's face. His entire five step plan might have gone to hell but his favorite step could still be carried out. No one spoke as he pulled back the safety on the gun. At this close range, there would be no mistakes.
Tbc...
Wow ok that took a looong time to write with all the changing points of view. Plus I think it kinda sounds like I'm gonna go kill off everyone. Hum. Well I guess we'll see next chapter. Hey are any of you Seto/Joey fans? I usually put Joey with Mai but I figured Seto was acting like a bastard in this fic and needed someone to cuddle. Don't expect anything really intense to happen between those two though, cause next chapter's gonna be the last one. Sorry folks the story is almost rolling to a complete stop but hang on for one more round. And now I've babbled too long so I'll go away now. Here I am going. Bye.
