Chapter 2
"Ms. Ishtar. You requested an audience with me?" Kaiba did his best to sound as professional as he could manage under the circumstances.
Ever since he ran into Atem and Yuugi he felt strange and what were those things around his neck. He sure as hell didn't put them there. The last thing he wanted to do was get wrapped up in another crazy mess that Atem and Yuugi constantly jumped into. He had too much shit to do. He promptly sat down in the chair across from her desk and waited for her to respond. She glanced up from her papers and then locked eyes with him. Her lips quickly forming into a frown.
"Mr. Kaiba...are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine...why does everyone keep asking me that?"
"N-no reason." Kaiba scowled at her. She was acting strange just like Yuugi. "Well I asked you here because of the interest you showed in opening a museum in Kaiba Land, specifically for the Duel monster cards."
"What about it?" This strange feeling was getting worse.
"I wanted to give you the estimates for the project and discuss it further with you." Ishizu paused and it looked like she was having a pretty difficult battle with herself on what to say next.
Feeling light headed and hazy, Kaiba rubbed the bridge of his nose, having a bit of a battle of his own. This feeling wasn't strange anymore; he knew exactly what it was. He was just as aroused as he was in his dream and...damn he was really hot. Why was it so hot in this room? When he finally looked back up at Ishizu, she looked different to him. He noticed the curve of her breast and the delicious caramel color of her skin; her parted lips and dilated eyes.The feeling grew stronger and so did the heat. He had to really concentrate to fight the instinct to take his clothes off. Watching her with rapt attention, he held his breath while Ishizu slowly stood up from the chair behind her desk and leaned over it...no crawled over it. Kaiba couldn't believe what was happening when he felt himself lean forward in his chair. Meeting her halfway, with a small moment of hesitation, he closed the space between them in a sensuous kiss.
She was a great kisser. He had to give her that, and even though he'd never once before fantasized about kissing her, he wasn't disappointed. Her lips were soft and she smelled of a beautiful flower he couldn't name if his life depended on it. She quickly took charge of the kiss before Kaiba had a chance to fully grasp that he was still kissing her. He could feel her hands on the sides of his face and he felt like he was melting from the inside out. Her tongue slide across his lips, temporarily separating them long enough for her to whisper. "We shouldn't be doing this.."
He agreed, of course, but he couldn't help it. The dream, this morning, topped with this...there was no going back. Damage control was part of the trade. He could handle that. The lack of control bothered him though. It nagged at him and infected the moment until he pulled away from her. It was far more difficult than it should have been. "You're right...We need to stop."
But he didn't. Instead he stood up from the chair and towered over her, staring into her half lidded, lust filled eyes. He should have turned around and left the room but he just leaned back down and kissed her again. The lack of control over the situation quickly turned from a slight annoyance to all out fear. He couldn't get himself to stop! "Ishizu?!"
The instant her name was called, like ice water to her face, she gasped and scrambled backward. Kaiba jumped up as well, turning to see Malik and Tea standing in the doorway of the office. Well shit...
"Malik...I-"
"Don't worry about it sister." Malik quickly muttered before gesturing for Kaiba to leave the room.
He hesitated again, much to his own displeasure before walking out of the room. Tristan and Duke stood across from the doorway a little down the hall and watched him while he passed them. Kaiba was thankful they didn't try to stop him since he wasn't sure what was going on. He almost made it past them when Joey stood directly in his way. Not the mutt...
"Kaiba? Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Kaiba closed his eyes and tried to take a calming breath. Bad move. The images of his dream filled his mind and Joey's musky scent painted a very descriptive picture he did not need at the moment. "Get out of my way now Wheeler."
"You need to talk to Yuugi."
"That's a bad idea."
"No it's really ok. Trust me." Yuugi stated and dashed in out of nowhere, grabbing ahold of Kaiba's sleeve. "Hurry up Kaiba."
Kaiba, again, had no choice but to comply.
-------Tea and Malik stood in the doorway of Ishizu's office and watched Kaiba be dragged off by Yuugi. They each released the breath they were holding and rushed into the office. "Ishizu are you okay?"
"Yeah...I'm fine, just...Well I'll be alright...more embarrassed than anything. What's going on?"
Everyone piled into the office and shut the door. Joey stood at the doorway looking out to see if Yuugi came back while they talked. Malik sat on the edge of the desk and sighed. "Okay sis...I'm going to tell you but promise not to be mad at me."
"I'm already mad at you..."
"Fine...I read a spell in the book of life...the real one you told me to lock up...well it turns out I accidentally cursed Kaiba."
"YOU WHAT?! Malik. You of all people know that magic is not to be trifled with!"
Malik hung his head. Tristan and Duke both exchanged a look before Tristan cleared his throat. "It's not all his fault. We put him up to it."
Ishizu shook her head, disapprovingly and tapped a slender finger to her lips. "Does Atem and Yuugi know about this?"
"Yuugi is talkin' to Kaiba now...I'd kill to be a fly on the wall for that talk." Joey chuckled.
Tea smiled and nodded. "Atem is giving one of the medallions that cancels out the curse to Mokuba."
"How is the curse reversed?" Ishizu asked Malik who continued to keep his head down.
"I don't think it can be..."
"Atem didn't think so either." Joey sighed. "We'll figure something out though. We always do."
Ishizu nodded slowly before returning to her seat behind her desk. "Be gone with all of you. I have work to do."
Everyone trudged out of her office, Malik holding up the rear. "Malik...I want to talk to you alone."
-------Yuugi pulled a very reluctant Kaiba into one of the staff only artifact examination rooms and shut and locked the door behind him. He let go of Kaiba's sleeve to look around the large room to make sure it was empty, hoping to talk to Kaiba when he was finished but he had other plans...apparently. "What the hell is going on? And I know it has something to do with you and Atem...It always fucking does."
"It wasn't our fault this time."
"The geek squad then. I keep telling you that you can't leave them alone unsupervised. Especially Wheeler. Are you even sure he's house broken?"
"This is serious Kaiba." Yuugi frowned, satisfied that the room was empty. "Do you not want my help?"
"I never WANT your help. I end up getting it anyway." Kaiba growled and straightened his dress shirt. "So...what's going on? Why are you wearing that?"
Yuugi looked down at the symbol of Bastet. "Malik was reading a spell and accidentally cursed you."
"Cute."
"I'm serious Kaiba." Yuugi's eyes shot up and he glared at him.
"I'm sure you are. I don't have time for this." Kaiba turned around to leave, reaching for the door handle only to be stopped by heat.
He didn't turn around at first, just lavished in the feeling again. When he did finally turn, he saw Yuugi standing where he was with the medallion hanging from his pointer finger. His eyebrow was raised similarly to how Atem did when he was proving a point and his eyes were almost black from his pupils being as dilated as they were. He stood with such defiance and determination that Kaiba had to admire the risk he was taking. Even though it had a worse effect on him. Yuugi was right there for the taking and nothing was in the way to stop him. "You need to stay here so you don't get hurt."
"And you are going to keep me here." Kaiba responded huskily, his voice betraying him.
Yuugi chewed on his bottom lip and shakily responded. "As long as this is off you can't ignore me."
"As long as that is off YOU can get hurt." Kaiba corrected. "Put it back on."
Yuugi was trying. He really was, but it was so hard to move his arm. His mind was miles away from putting that on and a lot closer to Kaiba taking him against that door. He was hot and shaky and his stomach felt like it held a million butterflies. A large part of him wanted this. "This is really difficult..."
"I know...Try thinking about Atem..." He murmured taking a step towards Yuugi. "Or think about the fact that you can't and make yourself fight that...If I get to you before it's on..."
Yuugi was happy Kaiba didn't finish that thought, on the other hand he had taken a few steps closer. Yuugi was finishing the thought for him. Maybe if he did this really quick...like taking off a bandaid...with little thought it would work. He had to try. Closing his eyes, he forced himself to put the medallion on around his neck right when Kaiba reached out to him. He opened his eyes to see Kaiba's hand hovering in front of his face before he quickly retracted it. "You have my attention Motou...What do I need to do to stop this?"
"I have no idea..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Atem smiled when Mokuba came into sight. He leaned over the edge of the railing at the museum on his tip toes to really see the sarcophagus on the other side. It was endearing to watch him wait so patiently for Kaiba. What was this curse going to do to their family? "Mokuba."
The boy quickly stepped back from the railing, guilt written all over his face like a child caught with the cookie jar. "Atem? Have you seen big brother? He was supposed to talk to Ishizu but she said he left."
Atem didn't particularly like the sound of that but he trusted his Aibou's judgment. "I have a gift for you."
Mokuba eyed Atem and the medallion draped around his hand skeptically. "...Thanks Atem...really but old stuff really isn't my thing."
"You are just like your brother did you know that?"
"Learned from the best!" Mokuba shouted proudly, puffing up his chest.
"I need you to wear this to ward off curses."
"Any specific curses?" Mokuba sang accusingly and took the medallion from Atem's hand.
"Yes...Have you ever heard of Bastet?"
"Yep she's a cat goddess."
"Well apparently your brother did something to piss her off...so I don't want it to affect you."
Mokuba laughed and shook his head. The best way to deal with Atem, that Mokuba had found, was to just go along with it. Atem was just as stubborn as Seto and Joey and fighting just wasn't worth the effort. "Do I need to go get him?"
"If you could." Atem smiled and followed the little Kaiba in search for Seto. Hopefully he hadn't done anything to horrible in the last half hour.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you guys feel that? When Kaiba walked by?" Tea whispered from sitting between Duke and Tristan. "I have never felt like that before."
"Really? You need a new boyfriend then." Duke laughed.
"Or girlfriend, as the case may be." Joey smirked and flinched when Tea started to get up. "Ok ok boy friend boy friend."
Malik walked back down the hallway and plopped down next to Joey with a sad huff. "So we can all agree that he is in fact cursed and we are all in fact in a lot of trouble if we have to spend any longer than 5 minutes with Kaiba."
"We need to warn Psycho and Ryou." Joey remarked.
"Yea we do...But how are we all going to do school tomorrow? Kaiba has to go or he loses custody of Mokuba." Tea sighed, her shoulders sagging. "I also think we need to check on Yuugi...they've been gone a while."
"Do you know where Yuugi took Kaiba?" Malik asked hopefully, playing with his golden bracelets.
Tea shook her head and the rest followed suit. "Not a clue."
"There you all are...Where is Yuugi?" Atem's smile fell as he and Mokuba noticed he wasn't there.
Joey stood, took a set of keys from Malik's outstretched hand and stepped over Malik. "Let's go get him."
"Why are you going with Atem to get him?" Tea frowned, feeling it unfair that she couldn't help.
"Cause Atem and I are the only ones of ya that's seen him naked. It ain't gonna scar us for life and we both have a healthy dislike of Kaiba. It'll be fine."
"See Yuugi naked? Why would he be naked?" Mokuba asked his nose scrunched in disgust.
"Just ignore them Moki. Come sit by me." Tea smiled and held her arm out for the boy to sit with her. "We are waiting for Ryou and Bakura."
Joey and Atem left as soon as they were satisfied that everyone was situated.
-------Yuugi sat on the edge of the counter while Kaiba paced in front of him. "I piss people off all the time Yuugi. It's nothing new. If she were really, genuinely, mad at me she'd have cursed me before Malik read anything. Not that I completely believe any of this but..."
"See, I agree with you but...this is very real." Yuugi emphasized. "I literally couldn't put this back on or even really want to. I can't explain it."
Kaiba glanced over at Yuugi's flushed face. He had always found Yuugi attractive, but he had to agree, this was something else. Not that Yuugi standing there with the necklace draped over his finger staring at him defiantly through lust filled eyes was an image that was ever going to leave him. Curse or not it was sexy. Kaiba really despised the lack of control over his emotions and actions. He always had control, he always had a choice. Now he had no idea what he or anyone was going to do next, but he felt safe now; with Yuugi's 'unwanted' help at least.
"I imagine Atem is looking for you....you are both attached at the hip, and the mutt won't be far behind. Do you have enough of those things for all of your friends?"
"We only have three...So Joey isn't wearing one."
Kaiba scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "You said you had three...Who's wearing the third?"
"Mokuba. Just a precaution...Atem wanted to make sure he was safe."
Kaiba nodded slowly in understanding. He never considered that and didn't want to. "I think it's best if I go back home."
"I agree. You don't need to be here for the opening do you?"
Kaiba shook his head again and glanced at the door. He was nervous about leaving...maybe he should have Yuugi go with him...no that wouldn't end well either. Trying to scrape up what dignity he had left, Kaiba turned to fully face Yuugi. "No. I'll see you at school tomorrow."
He was about to head for the door when he heard a firm rapping on it. Yuugi jumped off of the counter, now inches from Kaiba and smiled. "Atem found me."
They registered the sound of key's in the lock but neither of them remembered that Atem might not be alone. The second Joey stepped into the room, it all started over again, but this time Yuugi wasn't on the other side of the room. For the first time all day he had the ability to consciously decided where he wanted to go, or whom he wanted to go to. Still had to pick one but now he had a choice. Maybe if there are more people he can chose not to all together or keep changing his mind and refusing to pick. He found it odd that Yuugi and Atem were even in his conscious thoughts to chose when they both wore the medallions. It might have something to do with him already being attracted to them to begin with. None the less...he couldn't have this. "You are not welcome in here Mutt. Shut the door on the way out."
Joey complied. Easily complied. Strange. Atem watched the transaction with a scowl but didn't say or do anything until Joey shut the door. "Kaiba...do you have your cell phone?"
"Yes."
"Call Mokuba so you both can leave. You are causing enough trouble."
Yuugi glanced between Atem and Kaiba completely lost. Did he miss something? "Okay well...go home Kaiba...we will figure this out. Hopefully by the time school starts tomorrow."
"Doubtful." Kaiba spat and strode past Yuugi and then Atem.
He left the room, dialing a number into his phone and didn't stop walking even after Mokuba picked up. Once he left, Joey walked back into the room and sighed. "Are you alright buddy?"
"I'm fine." Yuugi smiled happily. "I can handle myself thank you both very much."
"I know you can Aibou." Atem grinned and turned to leave when he caught sight of something moving out of the corner of his eye. "Yuugi...is anyone else in this room?"
"No. I checked the whole thing. Why?" Yuugi turned to look under the table Atem was staring at and saw a pair of green eyes. "How did you get in here?"
Atem raised a hand to stop Yuugi but he was well on his way to already holding the cat in his arms. Facing Atem and Joey, Yuugi smiled and petted the small brown cat. "Look it's a cat."
"It has a collar." Joey pointed out and reached out to look at the tag.
His eyes widened and he quickly retracted his hand after reading it. "Yuug...you better put that cat down..."
"Why?"
