Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Then and Now ❯ Another Spirit ( Chapter 9 )

Katsuya couldn’t believe it. He and Seto were kissing. Kissing like there was no tomorrow. It had started so slowly, but when Seto had felt Katsuya’s lip parting, he had all but devoured the blond.

And god did it feel good. Katsuya didn’t think that any of their childish kisses had been anywhere near this good. Seto had never been this dominant and demanding in his kisses.

Jou noticed that Seto had removed his school jacked and shirt, and that he was now bare-chested, but he didn’t care. He didn’t care that he was half naked in a school bathroom, or that any minute someone could come in. He wouldn’t even have cared if Seto would have laid him down the tiled floor and fucked him right there- he had no illusion about who would take who. And Jou actually wanted him to do it. Wanted to feel Seto in him. Wanted to feel his own walls clinging to the now fully developed shaft he could see steering underneath the brunet’s trousers.

The kiss grew so intense that Jou was almost sure that Seto really would take him. He didn’t notice the door opening, and didn’t see, nor hear, his small friend gasping at the sight before him. Jou didn’t, but Seto did, and he was not amused about the fact that the small annoyance stood there just staring at them- his half naked Katsuya. He could almost feel the boy’s eyes roaming across the blond’s muscled back.

Growling, he tore his mouth away from Katsuya’s. “After school. Front gate.” He whispered into Katsuya’s ear, his eyes never leaving Yugi. With that he stood up and threw Katsuya’s jacked over the blond’s shoulders and stormed out.

Yugi, coming out of his daze, walked over to his friend and laid a hand on the blond’s shoulder- startling the still unaware boy. “Huh, Yugi. Since when are you here?”

“Long enough to know that something really hot was going on here.”

Jou blushed. “I never knew you were a pepping Tom…but wait, did you just say ´hot´? Say Yugi, are you gay? I never knew.”

Now it was on Yugi to blush. “I’m not sure…but I do have my fantasies. And no, I am not going to tell you who they are about.” Jou pouted and Yugi giggled at the sight.

“Aww, don’t be huffy. There are things more interesting to talk about. For example: You and Kaiba kissing. So you took my advice and told him, right? See, I told you he wouldn’t be angry. He just…What?” Yugi examined his friends’ expression.

“I didn’t tell him. I couldn’t.”

“But I thought…”

“I…I don’t know what happened. We were arguing one moment and kissing the next. He told me to meet him after school.”

“Jou, I really think you should tell him. You know now that he still likes you- even after so long- even after he thought you left him deliberately, but I think, to have a healthy relationship with him, you need to be honest with him…and I can’t picture Kaiba as someone who is whiling to tap in the dark for too long. Some day he will demand answers from you.”

“…I will tell him soon…but not today. Today I just want to pretend everything is alright and that we two have a chance. Who knows how he will react after I tell him…”

“Don’t be too frightened, Jou. I am sure everything will work out.”

Jou didn’t answer and just looked sadly on the floor.

“Hey Jou, why don’t we get you presentable again and see if we still can get something to eat at the cafeteria.” Yugi tried to cheer his friend up.

And Jou’s face did light up. “Yay, lunch…oh shit wait. I promised that new guy I would go to lunch with him and introduce him to my fiends…poor guy. He must be all alone now. Come on lets check if he is at the cafeteria.” With that Jou griped Yugi by his shoulders and was just about to drag him of the room when he heard Yugi giggle.

“What’s so funny?”

“Nothing, but maybe you should get dressed first…I think the school jacket over your bare chest isn’t the proper way to wear you school uniform.”


Jou did find Rou in the cafeteria, and to his surprise, he was already sitting with Honda and that freshman, Otogi. When Honda saw them, he waved Jou and Yugi over. “There you two are. Here, let me introduce you to Ryou Bakura. It’s his first day here at school.” Honda explained and then blushed. “The poor guy got mixed up in a fight between me and girly-boy here so I thought it was my-our,” he glanced at Otogi meaningfully, “responsibility to make sure he would get to lunch safely…hey Yugi, are you okay?”

The moment Yugi and Ryou laid eyes on each other Yugi felt his millennium ring vibrating against his chest. It was like it was calling out to this white haired boy in front him.

Jou elbowed his friend and whispered. “It’s rude to stare Yugi. What is it? Is he your type…worthy of some fantasies?” Jou teased.

“Jou!” Yugi scolded his friend. “It’s not like that. I just…I don’t know, for a moment it felt like he and I were connected…no not really, it just felt like he has a part of me that’s missing and I am drawn to it…” Yugi didn’t realize that he had whispered the whole last part, not that he even realized he had said anything at all.

“What did you say?” Jou asked.

“Huh? Oh, nothing…come on lets get something to eat and then you can introduce me properly to this guy.”

Jou nodded happily and rushed off to get his food.





Noah observed the elementary school entry. He had even skipped his last two lessons just to make sure to catch Seto Kaiba’s younger brother. He didn’t have a plan yet, but he was sure the key to Kaiba’s downfall lay in the hands of his little brother. Maybe he could play them out against each other.

Noah finally caught sight of a black mob of hair, but what he saw made him gasp. Two other boys were shoving him from one to the other roughly. The poor child tried to break free, but his struggles were in vain, for the other boys were much bigger than him.

“Aww, Moku-chan are you not strong enough to get away from us? Don’t you have a bodyguard to defend you? No friends to help you? Guess money can’t buy you everything huh?” The black haired boy looked defensively at the speaker, but didn’t say anything. He knew they were right. He had no friends and nobody would come to help him.

Noah followed the scene with his eyes and was reminded of his own past. He had been bullied for different reasons, but the cause was the same: jealousy. In Noah’s case his classmates had been jealous because he was brighter than any of the other kids and got good grades seemingly effortlessly. In Mokuba’s case, they were simply jealous of his wealth. Which was quite unfair. It wasn’t the poor boy’s fault that his brother was an evil bastard and stole other people’s inheritance.

Noah couldn’t stand watching anymore. The two guys were now pulling at Mokuba’s pretty hair and he was near tears.

“You know, the boy is not better than you two because he is richer, but because he has better manners. Haven’t your parents told you that it is cowardly to fight two against one- and against someone smaller at that? Now piss off and leave the boy alone before I join in.”

The boys looked up, and at seeing the much older and taller boy, they ran off.

Noah squatted down in front of the small boy and patted the still scared boy’s head.

“Its okay now, they are gone and won’t hurt you anymore.”

“Yeah, until tomorrow.” Mokuba said, accepting the fact simply like that.

Noah felt pity welling up. The boy tried to play tough, but Noah could see that he dreaded the next experience with his bullies.

“Why don’t you tell your teachers, or your parents?”

“The teachers would make a big fuss about it and would call my brother…I don’t want to worry him. He worries enough about me as it is…”

“And your parents?”

“My brother is my only family and the only one I need.”

Noah was surprised at the ferocity with which the boy spoke. He had thought Mokuba was a bit wimpy, but the way he spoke made it clear that he would do anything for his big brother.

Noah felt jealousy flaring up inside him. Kaiba didn’t only have the business which should be his but he also had the unconditionally love and devotion of this adorable little boy, and the bastard didn’t even have the decency to take care of his brother probably. Well, if Kaiba didn’t have the decency to look out for his brother, Noah would, and with that he would gain the little one’s trust. Oh how delicious it will be to steal everything Kaiba holds dear.

“If you don’t want to tell you teachers or your brother…maybe we could be friends and I could help you.”

Mokuba looked up suspiciously “What’s in for you?”

“Nothing it’s just…it’s just that I was bullied too when I was your age and I had always wished for someone who would help me, but no one ever came…”

´Mhh, maybe he is right…I mean the last time someone rescued me he became my brother…and he seams to be a nice guy…and…I always wanted to have a friend…´

Making up his mind, Mokuba bowed down. “I am Mokuba Kaiba. Nice to meet you and please take care of me.”

´Uahhh, how cute. I didn’t know there were still boys with good manners like his...I bet that’s thanks to my father’s good education.´ Noah thought.

“Nice to meet you too. I’m Noah Takahashi.” Noah bowed back and Mokuba smiled happily at his new friend.

“Hey, do you want to meet my brother? It’s his day off and he should be finished with school soon. You could come to my home and we could play some computer games.” Mokuba asked excitedly. Seto always asked him to bring his friends home so that he could meet them, but Mokuba had never had any friends to bring home and he knew that Seto was worried about that.

“I would love to, but I need to go home now. I’m already late as it is.” It was too early to meet the older Kaiba and Noah’s plan wasn’t fully developed yet, but at seeing Mokuba’s sad expression he added: “We could meet tomorrow though and…”

“Seto will be at work tomorrow and won’t have time…” Mokuba said sadly.

“Well, if you want, you could show me KaibaCorp and maybe we are lucky and your brother will take some time for you.” Noah said almost harshly. How could that bastard put work before his adorable little brother?

Mokuba didn’t notice the harsh undertone and agreed happily. “Yeah, I could sow you around and even if Seto has no time KaibaCorp is a cool place with lots to see. You will like it. There is one room…oh there is my ride…I was wondering if it would come at all. See you tomorrow?”

Noah smiled. “See you tomorrow.”

And with that Mokuba bounced off, hoping his brother would be home soon so that he could tell him about his new friend.


As promised, Katsuya met Seto in front of school after his last lesson and again Seto was leaning sexily against his limo. Katsuya swallowed and turned to Yugi and Honda. “I will see you tomorrow.” Was his short goodbye and he was gone.

“What’s up with him? He’s acted really strange lately…hey Yugi, don’t you want to go to the Black Crown? We could spy on the competition and annoy Otogi a bit.”

Yugi was about to agree when he saw Ryou out of the corner of his eye. Jou had introduced them, but lunch had ended soon and they didn’t share any class afterwards, so it had been difficult for Yugi to approach the boy. “Uh, no sorry I need to do something. But you go and have fun.” Honda wasn’t really disappointed that Yugi declined, because Yugi’s absence meant he had the black-haired boy all to himself. With a goodbye he walked away, already spotting Otogi heading in the direction of his store.

“Hey Ryou! Do you have some time?” Yugi called out.

Ryou looked up and was not surprised that it had been Yugi Mouto to call out for him. Much the same as Yugi he had felt the strange connection between himself and the short boy.

“Sure.”

The two of them walked to a nearby park and sat down on a bench. Yugi bit his lip nervously. How should he approach this situation? Well, he guessed the direct way would be the easiest. Yugi closed his eyes and called out to Yami to come out.

Ryou didn’t even look much surprised when he saw Yugi’s look-alike appearing out of nowhere. He too closed his eyes and when he opened them again his other half was sitting right next to him. Smiling in his usual arrogant way.

“Wow!” Yugi breathed out. He had suspected the other boy to have a Yami too, but seeing it for real had him speechless.

Ryou smiled at Yugi’s reaction. “Let me introduce you.” He said. “Yugi, that is Bakura, the spirit of the millennium puzzle.” Ryou pulled out his necklace from under his shirt (don’t asked how he was able to hide that huge thing). “And Bakura, that is Yugi, one of my new classmates and the boy behind him…” Rou trailed of.

“Oh, sorry. “Ryou, Bakura, that is Yami. The spirit of the Millennium Ring.” And Yugi too pulled out his necklace.

“Nice to meet you.” Yami said eying the white harried spirit warily. Somehow he had the feeling he knew that guy from a lifetime ago and…that he hadn’t liked him much.

“Hey Ryou didn’t you forget to mention something?” Bakura said, still smirking arrogantly.
Ryou rolled his eyes. “Yes your highness. Yugi, Yami, please bow to Bakura the pharaoh of ancient Egypt. Beware not to anger his majesty for he has the temper of a dread queen during her period.” Ryou bit out sarcastically and laughed at Bakura pouting face. “You have no respect Ryou.”

“Apparently Bakura was once pharaoh of Egypt. Not that he remembers anything of it mind you, but he insists that I call him ´your highness´ at least once a day. You know, boosting his ego or something.” Ryou explained after seeing Yugi’s and Yamis questioning expressions

Bakura pouted even more, and Yugi and Yami couldn’t help but join in Ryou´s laughter. Bakura looked just ridicules pouting like a little girl and Yami thought that a mean glare and a bleeding knife between his teeth would suit the guy’s character much more…but Yami didn’t know Bakura´s character at all, did he?
