Rating: NC17 *looks sweet and innocent*

Summary: For almost a year, Seto Kaiba has been plagued by three things; an irritating pest who delights in causing him as much inconvenience as possible, his failure to locate a great treasure and the memory of a kiss. As the anniversary of that kiss approaches, he sets out for one last attempt at finding the treasure.

Author's Notes: A big thank you to my wonderful beta, Vash is my Angel, for encouraging me to keep prodding the bunny until it gave me a halfway decent plot, and for her idea about the two statues and what they are.

In Search of Treasure

Chapter 1

@-->-->----

The sea breeze filled the sails of the galleon, so it almost seemed to fly as it crested the waves. The same breeze teased the dark hair of the boy leaning against the ship's port side and caused the long, loose sleeves of his white shirt to flutter. It was defeated by his pants though, for the dark blue breeches were too tight to be affected by it. His knee-high black boots were also immune, since there were no laces to flutter, only a series of buckles and straps.

He stood silent and still, his face tilted up and turned into the breeze to enjoy it to the full. His eyes were closed and his lips were curved into a small smile. Although he was leaning against the side of the ship, his forearms resting along the top of the wood, there was something about his stance that suggested that he was not as relaxed as he appeared to be. That suggestion was proven, because the boy was away from the side and running towards the bridge while the watchman's cry still rang through the air.

"Pirate ship off the starboard side!"

@-->-->----

The galleon led the other ship the best dance it could, but the pirate vessel was smaller and faster and easily caught up to it. Then there was no time to think, only to react, as the pirate crew tossed over lines, the grappling hooks biting into the wooden side of the galleon so deeply that the defending crew were unable to get the ship free again.

Once the ships were tethered together, the pirate crew used ropes to swing across the gap between them. They boarded the galleon swiftly, many of them holding their swords between their teeth to leave their hands free. They came with fierce cries, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they swung across and landed to face the galleon's brave crew.

Then there was nothing but the cries of battle and the clash of steel against steel as the two crews duelled each other for control of the situation.

In the midst of all the chaos, the teenager went unnoticed as he stood in the narrow space between two cargo boxes lashed to the deck near the bow. His sapphire eyes watched the action intently from beneath creased brows and his hands twitched with his instinctive need to fight, just as the crew was. But he knew his duty, to the men, to the ship and above all else, to his father. So he remained where he was, hiding for as long as necessary.

Eventually, the galleon's crew proved to be little match for the experienced pirates. They were rounded up and made to sit on the deck, surrounded by a few guards to make sure that none of them attempted anything stupid. Then the rest of the invaders set about the task of looting the ship for everything of value that it was carrying.

At one point, one of the pirates, a particularly mean-looking one with a nasty scar on his cheek and a wild mane of fiery red hair, approached the captives. He strode over to the galleon's captain and hauled him up by his collar to scowl into his face as he demanded, "Where is it?"

The captain scowled back. "Where is what?"

"Do not play innocent with me! Where is the key to your safe?"

The captain's eyes flashed and he spat into the pirate's face. "As if I'd ever tell you that!"

The pirate growled and backhanded him with enough force to send him crashing down to the deck. He wiped off his face and then sneered at the captain. "Think you can get away with that, do you?" He kicked him hard in the side and the captain groaned.

So filled with fury, the teenager didn't realise that he'd growled aloud until a voice nearby suddenly shouted, "Hey! There's someone hiding over here!"

There was a flurry of movement and then the red-haired pirate was standing in front of the teenager's hiding place, glaring in at him. "So you thought you could hide from us, hey?" His arm reached in and the teenager backed away instinctively, straight into the reach of the pirate who had silently moved around behind the cargo boxes. The boy gasped as he felt a hand grab onto his shirt, then he bit his lip and refused to make another sound as he was pulled out into the open.

His head snapped around and he glared at his captor, then his glare faded as he realised that he was looking at the most attractive boy he had ever seen.

The pirate's brown eyes were warm and twinkled with both good humour and mischief. Although he looked to be around the same age as the teenager, his body was lean but already toned, as proven by the part of his chest displayed to perfection by the open front of his wine-red shirt. It was loose and long sleeved just liked the teenager's own, and he too wore tight breeches and knee-high boots, although both were black in his case and his boots were laced rather than buckled. He wore a dagger in the sheath on his right hip and it gave him an air of danger that made the teenager's mouth go dry. All that was noticed in an instant, but it was the pirate's hair that held the boy entranced. It was a beautiful sun-kissed gold and the captive teenager couldn't help but wonder if it would feel as soft and silky as it looked.

Then the boy grinned at him and he realised he'd been caught staring. The knowledge caused a tide of heat to rise into his cheeks and his eyes narrowed in a glare again as he suddenly hated the pirate for not only seeing his embarrassment, but for causing it.

"What? It's just some little brat? I'll teach him to try and hide from us!" The voice startled the teenager and he looked around, realising with a start that he'd been so busy admiring the golden-haired pirate that he'd completely forgotten about the red-haired one! As the man reached for him, he couldn't help his instinctive cringe back, even though the movement caused him to press against the blonde behind him.

"Relax Hishin, I don't think we want to hurt this kid." The amused voice made the red-haired pirate frown.

"Why not?"

"Brunette, blue eyes, about sixteen... That ring any bells?" The amusement was still there but the teenager thought he heard an undercurrent of annoyance as well. Perhaps that was why Hishin gasped, but he doubted it. Fearing he knew what was coming, he went still. His mind began to whirl as he tried to come up with some plausible story to talk himself out of this mess.

"He's the heir?" If the situation hadn't been so serious, the teenager would have smirked at the way Hishin was gaping at him in disbelief.

"Yeah. Say hello to Seto Kaiba."

Hishin's smile was not pretty. "Hello, Seto Kaiba. Perhaps you'll be more helpful than the captain was about where the key to the safe is?"

Kaiba's eyes flashed. He was about to deliver a scathing retort when he was suddenly tugged on from behind. "Oh don't worry. I'll get him to tell me. Come on, Seto. Let's you and me have a nice little chat in the captain's cabin."

He would have struggled, but despite the fact that he was taller than the golden-haired pirate, he could tell that the other boy was tougher and possibly even stronger. Certainly, the arm that wrapped around his waist and held him securely as he was 'escorted' belowdecks was stronger than it looked. He could feel the strength in it and he knew it was useless to try to escape. Besides, they were on a ship in the middle of the ocean, where would he go?

By the time they arrived at the captain's cabin, Kaiba was seething. He wasn't sure what was making him angrier, the fact that he'd been subjected to the humiliation of being marched in such a way past the captain and crew, or the fact that he was almost enjoying the feel of the strong, lean body pressing against his back. As soon as they stepped inside the room, he began to struggle. Much to his surprise, the pirate just laughed and let him go.

Kaiba quickly moved to the far side of the room, wanting to put as much space between them as he possibly could. He glared at his nemesis. "I will not tell you a thing."

The pirate laughed again. "Who said anythin' about talkin'?" His eyes gleamed as he grinned at Kaiba. "I just said that to get Hishin to back off. He can be a bully sometimes. Sorry if he scared ya."

A low growl came from Kaiba's throat as he moved forward, not stopping until he was standing directly in front of the infuriating blonde. "Nothing scares me! Not that red-haired idiot out there and certainly not you!"

The pirate grinned. "That's the spirit." He moved too suddenly for Kaiba to react, grabbing him and whirling them both around, then pushing the teenager back into the door. He trapped him there, his hands holding Kaiba's arms down by his sides. He smiled at him in a friendly way, although there was nothing friendly about the way his body pressed into Kaiba's. It was far too sexual for mere friendliness. "You know, you're even more gorgeous when you're angry."

Then he kissed him.

No, it was more than a simple kiss. The golden-haired pirate pressed his body against Kaiba's and captured his lips with his own in a hard, almost bruising, union. His tongue licked the seam of Kaiba's lips, waiting until the boy gasped and then seizing the opportunity to slip inside where it was moist and warm. Once there, he did not merely kiss him. He plundered him. His tongue stroked Kaiba's, searing it with heat and then darted away to explore the depths of the captive mouth, to fill it with such fire that the unsuspecting teenager could do nothing but moan in response, too dazed by the sensations he was feeling.

Then, as suddenly as the plundering had begun, it ended. The pirate stepped back and grinned at Kaiba, then winked at him. "I like you, Seto. Pity we're on different sides. Thanks for the kiss, and for this." He laughed as he held up his hand, teasingly dangling a key just out of Kaiba's reach.

The teenager gasped, his hand flying to the pocket where he had been keeping the key to the captain's safe. Even as he did so though, he knew it was useless. He recognised the key in the pirate's hold. "You picked my pocket!" He glared at him and tried to make a grab for the key but the golden-haired boy just grinned more wickedly and shoved the key in his own pocket.

"Well of course. I am a pirate, after all. We're all cut-throats, thieves and pickpockets. Didn't ya know?"

Kaiba was so angry he couldn't reply for the moment. He was still trying to form coherent words when the boy suddenly darted forward, pulling a cloth from inside one sleeve. Before Kaiba could react, the cloth was over his mouth and nose. The teenager had just enough time to notice the cloying scent before everything went black.

The pirate caught the brunette as he collapsed and hoisted him up over one shoulder. He carried him over to the captain's bed and set him down with more care than he really needed to use. For a moment, he stood over the teenager, looking down at him with an odd expression on his face. It looked a lot like regret.

"Sweet dreams, Seto."

@-->-->----

By the time Kaiba woke up, the pirates were long gone and the galleon's crew were almost finished cleaning up the mess left behind from the looting. In-between fussing over Kaiba's health and issuing orders to the crew, the captain reluctantly confirmed that the safe in his room had been opened and ransacked. At the news, Kaiba's hands clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles went white.

"What of the statue?"

The captain sighed. "I'm sorry, lad. Those thieving scoundrels got it. By tomorrow, it will probably be on the black market. By next week, it will be in someone's private collection." He shook his head and sighed again.

"That is unlikely."

The captain looked at Kaiba in surprise. His surprise grew when he noticed the little smile playing over the teen's lips. "Whatever do you mean, lad?" When Kaiba looked at him, he felt a sudden chill at the sight of the boy's icy eyes.

"The statue was part of a museum exhibition of my father's collection of rare antiques. Naturally, my father would not entrust the real items to the care of anyone other than himself."

"You mean...?"

"Yes. The statue the pirates stole was a fake. A good fake, admittedly, but still a fake. It might pass a cursory glance by a novice, but it would never get through a thorough inspection by an expert." Kaiba allowed a little of his satisfaction to show. "Those pirates may have got away with their crime, but they have nothing to show for it."

"Well that is good to know." The captain sighed in relief, then frowned anxiously. "But I will still have to answer to your father over it being stolen, and your being hurt in the process."

Kaiba tensed and turned away. "Do yourself a favour, Captain Shiroki. When you tell my father about the pirates, do not mention my being caught by them. I can guarantee that it would only earn you a more severe reprimand than he is already likely to give you. Instead, you might try telling him that they already held a copy of the key to your safe. He will be so busy trying to find who supplied them with it that he will no doubt soon forget your part in today's little... adventure."

The captain's words of gratitude were lost upon the sea breeze as Kaiba walked away from him, already deep in his own thoughts where laughing brown eyes looked at him with passion and a pair of warm lips crushed against his own as a searing tongue relentlessly plundered his mouth.

It was a vision that would stay with Seto Kaiba throughout everything that happened during the following year.
