Back to the present time…

As Yami ate Jounouchi informed the captain of the situation. Bakura had taken command of the ship and ordered the still standing orders to be carried out, double timing it to 'that place'. He'd made sure those in charge of slaves had kept them in the quarters where they could be contained. Unfortunately, short of knocking Seto out, the Elven guard had been an exception to this rule. The ship had made it to 'that place' in tact and those familiar with the land had gone ashore to get supplies and information. They'd only been in port a day now and the skeleton crew was off enjoying their time in 'inns' and 'taverns'. The prisoners had not been told where they were, and Bakura had made it very clear that were the new slaves to find out, the speaker would taste the cat. And that wasn't a metaphor for Bakura having his way with someone.

Jounouchi also, more privately informed Yami that he'd been coaching the young prince in more 'proper' behavior, the kind of which normal people had. This did certainly explain why the little doll was less stuck up.

In the tender hands of Jounouchi, most things broke eventually.

"I suppose since I am awake we should proceed with our original plan…?" Yami murmured aloud. He'd had Yugi help to prop himself up on some pillows so he didn't choke on his food, and then he'd sent the prince and the Elf out.

"Ya' know da' mermaids; dey' won't object ta' us usin' magic near der' island, but da' Queen did say she wanted one o' her favors returned when ya' were in good health 'gain. I think we should do dat' 'fore anything else."

"Great, what does my beautiful lady want this time?" Yami growled his question with less than real enthusiasm. The last favor the mermaids had called in had killed no more than half his crew and replacing that many men was expensive.

"I have no idea. She said dat' she wanted ta' speak ta' ya' in person."

Yami rubbed his eyes. "Fine… send my little doll back in on your way out."

"Yessir." Jounouchi rose; bowed in mockery and left.

Yami picked a few slices of cheese and pondered the mystery that was mythical creatures.

"How are you feeling, now?" Yugi's quiet voice asked him as the door opened.

Yami shrugged and winced, the movement hurt his ribs. "Like crap. Why hasn't anyone healed me with magic?"

Yugi looked down at his little feet. "I told them not too."

"What!? Why?"

"Because it's bad for you to have healing magic applied straight away. That and it is a waste of power for the caster."

"What do you mean?"

"People that use magic to heal injuries constantly end up undermining their own body's natural process." Yugi's voice held the stern confident tone of a student repeating word for word what they'd been told.

"I see. Who told you that?"

"Sir Ryo."

Yami's mind backtracked to the image of a savage vampire tackling Malik. "I see."

Yugi sat down at the foot of Yami's bed and with a sly glance he cracked his neck. Yami felt a smirk tugging at his lips. "Well, I think I've self-healed enough for the time being, so would you find Bakura and tell him that I want Anzu sent up here?"

Yugi shook his head. "I cannot do that."

"Why not?"

"Because Bakura retired to his quarters about an hour ago, and the last person who went near the room heard screaming." Yugi gave a little shudder and moved closer to Yami.

Yami chuckled. "Then who is on duty right now?"

"Joey is." Yugi supplied.

"Fine, tell him to send the healer to me."

"You know its bad for you…"

"Shut up and do what I told you to do." Yami growled, not quite in mock irritation.

Yugi squeaked and hurried to the door.

About an hour later Anzu had finally finished healing all the broken bones and bruised organs and Yami was feeling surprisingly chipper. He sent the cook out and had Yugi come back in.

It seemed to Yami that something would have to be done about Yugi.

"So Yugi… how friendly have you and I gotten while I was asleep?" He spoke as Yugi came and sat on the end of the bed.

Yugi frowned at Yami in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Have we… done anything?"

Yugi just looked even more confused. "What, you mean like play ball? You have been unconscious for the past three days, I don't know what you expect to have of done."

Yami shook his head. Damn, he hadn't done the kid when he'd been sleeping then. "Nevermind. But I think its time we took our friendship to the next level."

"There's a next level?" Yugi's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Oh, certainly…"

~To be Continued…

Sweet notes: Reviews? Sorry it was such a short chapter, I have… plans.

Yami: SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yugi: ALRIGHT!!!! LETS GET DOWN TO IT!

Sweets: Heh, you two seem happy.

Yami &Yugi: *closing the closet door* Of course, we haven't had sex in any stories lately!

Sweets: I'm sure other authors have put you two together…?

Yami & Yugi: Yeah but… *moaning* … we've been waiting to get some in your…*groans of pleasure*… stories for ages

Seto: Hey, at least you guys have gotten them from her before. Jou and I have only ever gotten sloppy citruses!

Jou: Yeah! Think of the fairies!

Bakura: Meh! Who cares about you two? You've got your own freakin' story!

Seto: Some would consider Kourui your own story! And this one is practically B/M and M/R!

Marik: Yer point? *grabs Baku's ass and fondles*

Bakura: Hey! Get your mits off of that! I know you too well, you'll probably break it! *takes his ass back*

Ryo:.. Malik, they're scaring me! *hides*

Malik: There, there, I won't let them touch you. *Evil glint in his eyes*

Sweets: How could he trust YOU, you raped him last chapter!

Malik: ^w^ I know, isn't it exciting?

Ryo: *meek little whimper* not really.

Yami & Yugi: *emerging from closet, Yugi's shirt is on backwards and Yami has bite marks on his hand.* But anyway, aren't you all so happy for us? We know we are!
