Jou and Seto

Normal View

"Heads up, Master Yugi. It's going to be a wild ride."

"Why, Segon?"

"That!" Curse of Dragon released a ball of fire towards a group of owls. They scattered. Two screamed as they melted.

"Dama! Celga! Gaia! Attack!" Their cards flashed blank in his deck. They blazed to life next to them. Gaia's horse reared in the air.

// Yugi? //

/ There is only four. Segon fried two of them. / "Gaia, behind you!"

He sliced it in half, melting it in the process. Segon flamed the hearts as the fell.

// As long as you are safe. // Yugi's eyes flashed crimson as Yami looked around through him. // One left…not anymore. // Dama dropped it from the sky.

/ Be home in a second. / "You can return now. Thank you." They disappeared.

// You didn't even flinch, or call for me. Dama is the one that told me of the attack. //

/ Didn't want to bother you. I knew they could do it. If there had been any more I would have called you. /

"Landing."

"Can you land?"

"He…watch and learn, Master Yugi."

"Just Yugi!"

"Yes, Yugi." The dragon chuckled. His form shrank underneath Yugi as he approached the ground. He was about the size of an elephant. "See."

"You can adjust your size. Cool. Thanks for bringing me home, Segon."

"Anytime, Yugi. If you need me, call." He disappeared.

Yugi met Yami at the door. "How is Malik?"

"Better. Marik's blood runs in his system now."

"How many…"

"Three, and if rumors hold true, two for Jou. I am off to hunt Yugi. Marik and Seto both need more blood to regain what they have lost. My blood will help strengthen them. I will return."

"Be careful."

Yami gave a small smile as he lightly hugged Yugi, kissing his forehead. "I will be."

Seto's View

Seto finally went back upstairs. This time he only growled as he saw Asman messing with Jou's hair. He was telling him a story of old times.

"The chief was furious. He thought she had stolen the cowhides, but she hadn't. He had no proof because there wasn't any. They argued for days.

She always did have spunk. In retaliation for a comment he made, she threw him in the river. He tried to keep his dignity as he came out sopping wet. She laughed hilariously at him. He knew that he did not have the power to kill her, and neither did his men.

Then one-day renegade Indians attacked his tribe. She saved his life along with many of his people by concealing them in illusions. It was her greatest power. After that he was in her debt.

They became good friends after that. She taught him all that she knew, and protected them from any invaders. The chief called her his 'Golden Lady' because her hair was a rich blonde color. Like yours is. She kept that name for over forty years before the people were forced to the reservations. She fought for them. She wept for them. The people that remain of that tribe, which is very few, still tell stories of her. Your grandmother was a very strong willed creature. I think that may have been passed on to you."

"I wish I had met her." ((Hello, Seto.))

"She and her mate chose to move on in life. After your mother was born, she finally converted him. Some say they are still alive somewhere. She defied every rule by hunting vampires by herself. Females and the young are not supposed to hunt. He name became feared among them. Her powers were great. Some believe that she was the descendant of the ancient rulers. None knew except her guardians. You would have been quite powerful as a full. You may still be…"

"What did you mean by illusions?"

"Making something appear as it is not. Such as a cat look like a dog."

"Could I do that?"

"If full, yes."

"What did you say her name was?"

"Saraya was her birth name. 'Golden Lady' was her second. Her third and most feared name was Ariel."

Seto jerked. If Jou is her grandson, then he will be quite powerful. "Even we have heard of her." He sighed as he sat on the bed.

"Thank you for the story, Asman. I used to love listening to them. Still do." Jou smiled. Asman returned it as he disappeared. "How I subconsciously missed our talks. Somehow…I always knew something was missing that I had before."

"He is back now, Jou. He guards you, as I do."

"Who says I need guarding?" Jou huffed.

Seto laughed as Jou sat down next to him. "Everyone needs a little bit of protection. Even I have Whit, Dreg, and Bey. They can combine into one. All top fighters have top monsters. Yami has Exodia, but he takes a lot of energy to summon. That is why he passed out from the strain."

Jou stretched out and put his head on Seto's lap. "How are you feeling?"

"Can't you tell?"

Jou peeked into his mind. He laughed as he saw a memory of a black haired boy. "You have a brother?"

"He goes by Mokuba Kaiba. Twenty years ago it was Skye."

"You care for him a lot. I can feel it."

"He is the only family I have left. After World War II, my parents were disgusted with this world. Mokuba and I were there as the passed on."

"You take after your father."

"And Mokuba takes after my mother. He wishes to hunt, but he is still too young by our standards. He is only 117."

"That's young!"

Seto again laughed. "That is young. I did not hunt until I was over 1000."

"Old man." Jou started laughing.

"Hey!" Jou laughed even harder as Seto scowled at him. "You think that's funny, huh?"

"Almost as funny as watching you get a bath."

"He pulled my tail! Twice!"

"Poor, kitty." Jou smirked.

"Mutt."

"Hey!"

"You call me kitty, I call you mutt." Jou pouted. He yelped when Seto grabbed him. He was pulled to lie beside him. Seto blew in his ear.

"Playing that game again, are you?" Jou shivered.

"You started earlier, not me, remember?"

"Oh…yeah." Seto was playing with his hair.

"I like it this color. Your eyes have changed, too. They're like liquid amber." He was staring right into them. Jou shifted as he blushed. Seto laughed.

"Now you're laughing at me."

"You see…"

"Kitty."

"Mutt." He laughed as Jou rolled at him with a pretend bark. Seto hissed back, the kissed him.

"Who says they can't get along…" Jou laughed as they separated. He nipped at Seto's nose. He laughed as Seto turned his eyes into cat-like slits.

"So, puppy wants to play, huh?" He nipped back.

Jou's eyes developed an evil glint. ((Maybe.)) That was the only warning Seto received as Jou rolled on top of him. ((Now that I've captured you, kitty, I don't know where to attack first.))

(Captured me? I think not!) He flipped them over. His teeth grazed over his neck.

((Hey! Dogs are supposed to be stronger than cats.)) His head lulled back.

(Remember, I was a tiger earlier. I think that out beats a dog any day.)

((Bad kitty.)) He gasped as Seto placed little nips down his jaw. ((I take it back! Good kitty...gods, Seto.))

Seto was also lost in the emotions they were both feeling. They flooded back and forth between them like a thunderstorm. One startled both of them as they realized what it was.

Love.

Jou smiled. "I do…I love you, Seto."

The emotion rocked Seto. He had lost hope centuries ago of finding his mate. Thinking he was cursed to live a life of loneliness, he had gone off on his own. Then he met up with Yami, who had felt the same way. Bakura and Marik joined them soon after. Together they had hunted.

Now he had Jou. "I love you, too, Jou." He meant it with everything inside of him. His teeth sank into Jou's neck, causing him to moan.

((What are you doing to me…)) After a few seconds, Seto retracted his teeth, blowing gently on the marks. Two small scars remained. ((Don't stop.))

Seto chuckled, then sucked in his breath as Jou's hands found their way under his shirt. They rubbed gently over his back. His eyes held an almost predatory look. Words came from his mouth softly as he leaned to claim Jou's waiting mouth.

"Now across all time

You are forever mine.

Safe within my care

Apart can never tear;

Our hearts as one

Under Ra, the sun

We are mated pair"

Normal View

Across the river a middle-aged woman felt a tingle in her mind. Her daughter looked up as she felt it, too. "You're brother has found his true mate." She smiled. May he now be safe and happy at last.

Serenity smiled. "Good."

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

A figure sighed outside the window. He now has his mate. He heard Jou laugh.

"Asman, you know he will still care for you. You, and now I, Whit, Bey, and Dreg, are their guardians. But, he will always favor you." Ryagon curled beside him.

Asman smiled softly. "I know. I'm just glad he is at last happy."

"Me too, Asman. Me too." They disappeared.
