Chapter Seven
It’s My Life
- - 3000 years ago - -
Shizuru giggled happily as she danced around the garden with Mai and Isis. “Wow! This is so great!”
The music filled the air from Jou’s CD player.
~ I told the witch doctor, I was in love with you. ~
~ I told the witch doctor, I was in love with you. ~
~ And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do. ~
~ He told me. ~
Isis sang along with the music while Mai and Shizuru spun around in circles together, “Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang. Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang. Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang. Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang.”
Jou sat down in the shade beside Mokuto and Seto.
~ I told the witch doctor, you didn’t love me true. ~
~ I told the witch doctor, you didn’t love me nice. ~
~ And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice. ~
“Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang. Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang,” sang Mai as Shizuru danced with Isis.
“I didn’t realize you brought your CD player with you, Jou,” said Seto watching the girls dancing happily while they sang.
“I had it on my pants and my CD case in my pocket,” said Jou, “So I have a couple CDs with me. Explaining to Mai and Isis what it was so they didn’t destroy it was the hard part.”
Seto chuckled.
~ You been keeping love from me just like you were a miser. ~
“I didn’t know you liked this type of music either,” said Seto.
“This is a mix CD. It has a bunch of songs on it that I like,” said Jou smiling.
Seto nodded as Mokuto went out to dance with Shizuru. “What other CDs did you bring?”
~ And I’ll admit I wasn’t very smart. ~
Jou grabbed up his small, compact CD case from the ground beside him, and he opened it up to show Seto the CDs inside. “This here is the newest CD I’ve gotten. It was a gift from Honda for babysitting his nephew while he went out shopping, probably to get clothes to try to impress my sister.”
“Linkin Park’s Greatest Hits album? I wasn’t aware that was even out for sale yet,” said Seto, “I bet Mokuba has it already.”
“He likes Linkin Park?” asked Jou.
“Yeah.” Seto smiled.
~ So I went out to find myself a guy that’s so much wiser. ~
Seto reached over to turn the CD and he raised an eyebrow at the one he saw next. “Celine Dion? Honestly, puppy, I thought you had better taste than that!”
Jou blushed. “Hey! We can’t all be multibillionaires like you, moneybags! I really like French music and this was the cheapest way to get it! I can’t exactly afford to pay the import tax on other people’s stuff, and this was readily available in Japan. So this is what I got.”
“Well… I can’t have my puppy listening to complete rubbish. I just may have to get you some more French music when you get back,” said Seto turning the CD again to look at the next one, another mix compilation, “What’s on this?”
~ And he taught me the way to win your heart. ~
“That’s a J-pop compilation. Anime music and various artists I like.” Jou turned the CD to the next one.
“L’Arc~En~Ciel?” asked Seto with wide eyes. “That’s my favorite band!”
“Really?” asked Jou.
“Yes! I wouldn’t lie to you, Jou! I love their music!” exclaimed Seto reading over the song list printed in small letters on the CD, “Kiss… Rainbow… The Hour… Ready Steady Go… Tears Among the Thorns.”
“I really like that CD too,” said Jou.
“Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang,” sang Mokuto and Shizuru together, “Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang. Ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabangbang.” They tumbled down onto the ground together and laughed happily.
“Okay! I think that’s enough music for the moment!” exclaimed Jou passing his CD case to Seto as he stood up and walked over to the CD player.
“Oh, but Jou!” exclaimed Isis breaking out her version of the puppy dog pout.
“Please, Jou! Just one more song!” exclaimed Mai imitating the expression on her lover’s face.
“One more!” exclaimed Shizuru looking at Jou with the same pleading expression that Jou’s seen a million and one times on his own little sister.
Jou nodded slowly. He grabbed his CD player. “Fine! Just one more! But Seto gets to pick the song!”
“I know just the one,” said Seto smiling as he carried the CD case over to Jou. He quickly switched the CD to put in the L’Arc~En~Ciel disk. Then he set the song to play. He whispered, “Dance with me, Jou.”
Jou set the CD player down before stepping closer to Seto.
Seto glanced around to make sure that none of the others, already pairing off to dance, witnessed his next act and he quickly, lightly brushed his lips against Jou’s in a fleeting kiss.
Jou rested his head against Seto’s shoulder as they danced to the music together.
Everyone danced with their partner as the Japanese words and music emerged from the CD player.
After the song, Jou turned off his CD player.
“Can’t we listen to one more?” asked Mokuto.
“No… I don’t have any extra batteries and if we want to be able to listen to it later, we have to spare the ones I’ve got in it!” exclaimed Jou, “If we don’t stop listening now, there will be no music later.”
“Come on, Jou, we should go find a place to hide that,” said Seto, “so they can’t run your batteries dead on you.”
“Yeah. That’s probably a good idea,” said Jou carrying his CD case and the player as he followed Seto back inside the palace. His shoulder brushed against Seto’s as they walked side by side towards their rooms. “Where do you think we should hide it?”
“In here,” said Seto pulling Jou into his own room. He closed the door quickly and pressed the blond firmly against the wall before ravishing his mouth in a passionate kiss.
Jou didn’t even try to prevent the moan from escaping his lips. His knees weakened, and he fell against Seto’s chest. He pulled his mouth away long enough to gasp, “Sit!”
Seto pulled Jou back over to his bed where he sat down quickly and resumed kissing the daylights out of the delicious blond’s mouth.
Jou tossed his CD player and the case of four CDs onto the bed before he straddled Seto and sat down on his legs. He fought against Seto’s tongue within his mouth, and his hands grasped tightly to Seto’s shoulders.
Seto pulled away and rested his forehead against Jou’s as he inhaled sharply.
Jou waited only a moment for them both to catch their breath before he locked his lips with Seto’s again in a series of small kissed before adding his tongue to ask for permission.
Seto opened his mouth to let Jou in, but no sooner was Jou’s tongue in his mouth before he started to fight against it and guided the tongue into caressing the sensitive areas in his mouth. His hands ran up Jou’s back before one continued up to caress the golden hair and the other worked its way back down.
Jou moaned and ground himself against Seto. He blushed when he felt the brunet’s erection poking him in the butt. He rocked his body to grind his erection against Seto’s stomach then rub his ass into Seto’s cock.
Seto moaned. He pulled out of the kiss for a moment. “Gods, Jou!”
Jou continued his rocking movement to draw more moans of pleasure from Seto’s throat. He hastily resumed their kissing.
Seto leaned back, pulling Jou down to the bed on top of him.
‘Wait, wait, wait! If we don’t stop this now, I’m going to lose my virginity to Kaiba Seto! I can’t! I have to wait… for love at least… if Osiris is willing!’ Jou pulled out of the kiss to find himself lying completely on top of Seto. He breathed heavily but he didn’t move.
Seto looked at Jou with a worried expression. “Jou? Is something wrong?”
Jou took a deep breath. “We have to stop this.”
“Why?”
“If we continue, we might do something I’d regret.”
Seto’s eyes narrowed.
“I’m not ready to have sex yet,” mumbled Jou, “and I think that’s where this would lead us to.” He rolled off Seto and sat up.
Seto sat up. He sighed. “So, you’re telling me that you… the gang banger, street-punk, Jounouchi Katsuya… you are still a virgin?”
“Yeah? So what? I was waiting for someone special who meant the world to me.” Jou looked away from Seto. “And just because I was a member of a gang doesn’t mean shit, and you know it! My beliefs are stronger than the gang. Yeah, I could have had sex any number of times while I was in the gang. We had members… of both sexes… who were sexed into the gang. I watched once, three people were being sexed in, one male and two female. It disgusted me. I never watched again.”
“Oh…”
Jou kissed Seto again quickly. He blushed. “I think I should head back to my room now.”
“All right, but if you decide you need help with this…” Seto cupped Jou’s crotch and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Then just call me. I think I could help you out without screwing you senseless.”
Jou’s blush flared up to make his entire body a very pretty shade of red. He stood up and moved towards the door to the balcony, but he turned to look at Seto lounging on the bed slowly stroking himself through his clothing before giving him a sheepish smile and slipping through the door.
Seto pulled the cloth aside and touched himself with his bare hands as soon as Jou passed from his sight.
Just outside, Jou waited to hear Seto’s pleasured moan, as quiet as it may be, before he entered his room. His eyes widened and he gasped when he saw Seth sitting on his bed. “Seth?”
“I’m sorry for startling you. I wanted to see you. I missed you.” Seth rose and walked towards Jou. He smiled and pulled Jou up against him as he kissed him deeply. He pulled out of the kiss with a smirk and cupped Jou’s crotch. “I see you’re happy to see me.”
“Seth…” Jou’s blush flared up again and he tried to move away from Seth.
Seth guided Jou back to the bed while gently squeezing and massaging the bulge in his hand.
“No. Seth, stop it,” said Jou trying to push the brunet away from him. He managed only to fall down onto the bed with Seth following him to its surface.
“Just relax and let me touch you,” whispered Seth, “I won’t hurt you, and I won’t do anything you don’t want. Just let me stroke you until your passion is released. I understand your fear. No one has ever touched you this way before.” He kissed away the scowl that crossed Jou’s features at the mention of him being afraid. “There’s no reason to fear, Jou, my love. This will be quite enjoyable for you and I will not do more than you are ready for.”
“Seth…”
Seth pulled the cloth up Jou’s legs and past his hips and waist to reveal the hard erection. He smiled and licked his lips before kissing Jou again. He slid his fingers around the tumescent flesh and fondled it in smooth, even strokes.
Jou tried to push Seth away even as he moaned in pleasure.
Seth smirked confidently and rubbed the erection, touching it in all the special ways he always wished he could touch Jono’s body. “Now… this isn’t that bad, is it, love?”
Jou moaned louder when Seth worked the head of his arousal.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Seto bit his lips to silence the moan in his throat as his body shook with his release. He inhaled deeply to calm his emotions, and he sat up slowly, covering his body again. He stared at the wall separating his room from Jou’s when he heard the pleasured moan coming through it. He smirked and stood up. “He’s so loud when he pleasures himself.”
Jou’s moan sounded again.
“That sounds like a call for assistance to me,” said Seto blushing slightly. He fondled his newly revived erection for just a second to get it perfectly hard again before walking out onto the balcony. He walked through the entranceway into Jou’s room and stopped in his tracks at the sight he saw… Jou’s head tilted back in pleasure, his hands trying to force Seth away from him, Seth’s hand wrapped around the blond’s erection.
“You are getting close,” whispered Seth stroking the balls at the base of Jou’s penis, “I can feel you tightening beneath my fingers. Any moment now!”
Seto’s eyes widened and he nearly gasped at the sight before him.
“Seth… no,” whispered Jou, “stop.” He dropped his hands to the bed beside him as Seth stroked him particularly hard. He moaned.
Seto saw red as he watched, frozen as Jou arched into Seth’s touch and his release shot through the air.
Seth kissed Jou passionately. “So… how was I?”
“The best,” whispered Jou.
Seto clutched his hand to his heart as a piercing pain shot through his chest. He backed out onto the balcony and ran into his room. “Bastard! Fucking bastard! How dare he touch what belongs to me? I’ll kill him!”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Jou shoved Seth away from him. His sat up and pulled the material down to cover himself again. He glared at Seth. “Don’t you ever, ever touch me again without my permission! When I say stop, I mean fucking stop! Do you have any idea of what you just fucking did to me?”
“I just gave you the physical pleasure you desired,” said Seth smoothly.
“Wrong! You just raped me!”
“Rape?”
“Yeah! That’s what we call it when someone gives unwanted sexual contact to another person! You forced yourself on me! I didn’t want you to touch me like that and you did! I told you to stop, and you didn’t!” shouted Jou, “Get out of my room, Seth! I hope I never see you again!”
“I’m sorry, Jou,” said Seth, “I’ll speak to you again when you calm down.” He turned and walked to the door. “I never meant to upset you. I thought you were only telling me to stop because you were afraid… afraid of your emotions… afraid of having someone else see you when you were most vulnerable… afraid of someone else pleasuring you… I’m sorry I misunderstood you. I will not touch you again unless you request it.”
“Get out now.”
Seth nodded as he walked out the door.

Isis sighed as she finished reading the scroll in front of her. “Nothing! Are you even sure we are looking in the right place, Seth?”
“It has to be here somewhere!” exclaimed Seth grabbing another scroll and tossing it to Isis, “There has to be a way to get my stupid alter-self back where he came from!”
“Well, I doubt we are going to find it at this time of night!” exclaimed Isis slapping her fist on the table she sat at and standing up, “What has gotten you so upset anyway? You have never asked me to help you this late into the night! The sun will be rising shortly, Seth!”
Seth glared at Isis and grabbed out a scroll. He sat down and opened it to read.
“What happened between you and Jou?”
Seth sighed.
“He’s angry with you, isn’t he?” asked Isis.
“I… I was trying to help him,” said Seth, “to give him pleasure, but apparently all I did was upset him. He didn’t want me to touch him it would seem.”
“But you did anyway,” said Isis shaking her head at her cousin’s idiocy, “Did he tell you he didn’t want you to touch him? I mean before you started?”
“He told me to stop, but I mistook his defiance for fear. He has never been touched by another man, and I seriously doubt even a woman has touched him the way I did today,” said Seth, “He enjoyed it. He was quite vocal with his enjoyment, but he did keep telling me to stop. I didn’t listen because he was enjoying it.”
“Seth! You giant idiotic bastard!” exclaimed Isis ripping the scroll from Seth’s hands, “You go back to Jou right this instant and you apologize to him! Tell him you were just being a horny urchin and beg him for forgiveness! And I mean beg! Get down on your knees before him… Prostrate yourself… and beg!”
“He doesn’t want to talk to me,” said Seth, “He told me to get out and that he never wanted to see me again. Now give me back my scroll.”
“Jou was upset with you and for good reason!” exclaimed Isis scowling at Seth, “I am not giving you this scroll back until you go to Jou and apologize!”
“I already did,” said Seth holding his hand out for the scroll.
“Go talk to him! Beg for his forgiveness. He is worth it!”
“I know he is.”
“You will not get any more work done until you go to see him. Now go.” Isis turned from Seth and grabbed up the scroll she was supposed to be reading before heading down an aisle to put them both away.
With a sigh, Seth left the library and walked towards Jou’s room. He knocked on the door lightly. Considering the time, he understood why he received no answer, so he opened the door quietly and slipped inside. He looked around the room for the golden blond hair and he almost panicked when he didn’t see the unruly hair anywhere within the room. However, he felt panicking over such a little thing beneath him, so he took a deep breath to calm his heart and nervous stomach before calling out. “Jou? Are you in here somewhere?”
Silence greeted Seth’s call.
“I’ve come to apologize again, Jou. Please… I’m sorry. I was wrong to ignore your wishes, Jou,” said Seth. He waited for a moment in silence. “I suppose I’ll come find you tomorrow then to apologize.”
After another moment of silence, Seth headed out of the room again.
Jou peeked into his room from the balcony. He sighed. “I’m not ready to forgive you yet, Seth.”
Jou turned back onto the balcony and made his way into Seto’s room. He watched the brunet sleep for just a moment before he slipped over to the bed as quietly as possible and lay down on the opposite side as Seto. He slid closer to his peacefully sleeping companion before closing his eyes and falling asleep within a few seconds time. Now in bed with Seto he didn’t have to worry about Seth coming into his room in the middle of the night and he allowed himself to relax.
Seto rolled over in his sleep and felt the warm body beside him. Rousing slightly from his sleep, he gently wrapped an arm around the person beside him and pulled the body closer to comfort whoever in much the same manner he always comforted Mokuba during thunderstorms or after nightmares.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Seto opened his eyes and wiped a lock of golden hair from them. He yawned and closed his eyes again before snapping them open with the realization that his hair wasn’t blond. He looked around him in bewilderment at just why exactly Jou would be cuddled up to him and why his arms would be so wound about the slightly smaller teen. “Jou? What are you doing in here?”
“Mmm… Hnh… Sweepy time. No talkie.” Jou buried his face into Seto’s chest.
“Jou?”
“Hunh… Hunh?” Jou lifted his head and turned it to look around with closed eyes. “I din’t do it!”
“Jou? What are you doing here?” asked Seto again.
“Where’s here?” mumbled Jou slowly opening his eyes. He saw Seto’s slightly tanned skin and jumped back now fully awake. His voice filled with fear as he asked, “Seto?”
“Yes, puppy. You’re in my room. Now will you tell me why?”
Jou blushed and exhaled with relief. “I’m hiding from Seth.”
“Oh, yes. Hide from your new lover. I’m sure he won’t mind, and he wouldn’t think to look for you here!” exclaimed Seto standing up from the bed.
“Yeah! That’s what I thought! Why would he look for me here?” asked Jou blushing slightly, “Sorry I didn’t ask if it was okay, but you were sleeping so peacefully, and I didn’t want to wake you.”
“Oh, yes. Now you’re concerned about my feelings! Well, save it, stupid mutt! I don’t need your pity!”
“What are you talking about? I don’t pity you! And I… well, I’ve always been concerned about your feelings.”
“Really? If you’re so concerned about my feelings, why were you leading me on yesterday? Why were you kissing me when your heart already belongs to someone else?” exclaimed Seto angrily.
“My heart belongs to no one yet! And I was kissing you because… because…”
“Because what?” Seto scowled.
“Because I happen to like yo… kissing you!” Jou’s cheeks flared up with a bright blush and he turned away to try to hide it. “But it doesn’t matter to you anyway! You’ve already decided not to believe a word I say. I am, after all, just a worthless mutt to you!”
“Are you trying to tell me you like having two men? One simply to kiss and the other to fuck!”
“No…!”
“Then why did you allow Seth to jack you off right after our make-out session!” Seto nearly screamed his next comment, “You slut!”
Jou’s eyes widened and he spun to look Seto straight in the eyes. He whispered, “You did not just call me a slut.”
“Oh, yes I did!” exclaimed Seto, “You are a slut! You left me alone to tend to the fruits of your labor so you could go into your room and allow that fucking doppelganger to pleasure you!”
“I did not allow it!” exclaimed Jou angrily, “He came into my room! He starting kissing me and touching me! He pinned me to the bed so I couldn’t move away! I told him to stop! I told him not to touch me, but he kept on doing it anyway! He violated me!” He took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. Pain echoed through his next words, “And you blame me for it.”
“You didn’t want him to touch you?” Seto asked disbelievingly.
“No.”
“But you enjoyed it. I heard you. You are quite vocal.”
Jou hung his head in shame. “I didn’t want to enjoy it, but he’s… good with his hands.”
Seto scoffed. “I could do you so much better!”
“You couldn’t possibly,” mumbled Jou turning scarlet down to the roots of his hair.
“That sounds like a challenge!” exclaimed Seto moving to the bed where Jou still sat. He tilted Jou’s head up towards his own and he kissed the other boy deeply.
“Seto?” asked Jou quietly in between kisses.
“Yes, Jou?” whispered Seto in reply as he moved his kisses down to the long, elegant neck.
“Oh, Gods!” moaned Jou when Seto sucked on a particularly sensitive spot on his neck. He leaned into Seto to get more contact.
Seto worked his hands across Jou’s chest and back to arouse the blond further. He smirked into the neck when he felt the erection poking him. He attached his lips to Jou’s once more as he slowly lowered them both to lie on the bed, his body over Jou’s. One hand slid down to cup Jou’s crotch. He pulled out of the kiss suddenly.
“No… More kisses!” whined Jou sending a beautiful pouting puppy-dog look Seto’s way.
“Tell me to stop, Jou.”
“Huh?”
“Tell me to stop. Say no or say yes. Either you want this or you don’t,” said Seto, “I won’t force you if you don’t want it. Tell me to stop and I will.”
“Keep going… I’ll tell you when you’ve gone too far!” exclaimed Jou smiling at Seto.
Seto smiled in return before leaning down to claim the lips again.
Jou blushed when Seto moved the cloth covering his erection.
Seto rolled off Jou and helped them both to sit up.
“What?” asked Jou as Seto moved behind him.
“Just switching positions,” said Seto quietly, “Lean back against me.”
Jou gratefully did as commanded and leaned into Seto’s chest. He moaned when the brunet’s hands moved across his body in feather light touches that only served to arouse him more.
Seto continued to kiss Jou’s neck and cheek.
Jou reached around behind his head to run his fingers through Seto’s hair.
Seto’s fingers wrapped around Jou’s erection and he massaged it.
Jou moaned appreciatively.
Seto’s hands worked on Jou’s body, pleasuring him in ways Seth hadn’t even thought of yet. He tilted Jou’s head and captured the other’s lips to silence the echo of pleasure accompanying the cry of completion.
Jou sank back into the comfort of Seto’s arms. “Damn, Seto… that was much better!”
“I’m glad I satisfied you.”
“Yeah,” said Jou turning to kiss Seto, “You did.” He felt the erection pressing into his backside and blushed. “You didn’t…? What about your needs?”
“This wasn’t about me right now. It was about you.”
“Well… lay back and relax,” whispered Jou, “and let me take care of you now.”
Seto hiked an eyebrow.
Jou locked his lips with Seto’s and pushed the brunet down onto his back. He pushed aside the cloth while still kissing Seto, and he wrapped his fingers around Seto’s erection.
Seto’s breath hitched.
“Sensitive, much?”
“Yes,” whispered Seto as Jou pumped his erection and kissed his neck.
“Good. I like that. You’ll be very responsive then, won’t you?” whispered Jou before bending down to suck on his cloth-covered torso.
Seto arched into Jou’s touch.
With a few final strokes, Jou kissed Seto’s lips.
Seto tried not to scream into the kiss, and he settled on a loud moan instead as his seed spilled from his body to coat Jou’s hand and dirty up both of their outfits.
Jou collapsed on top of Seto. “So… I know you’ve probably had better, but… how do I stack up?”
“That was the best hand job I haven’t given myself,” said Seto with a genuine smile, “I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to do it again sometime.”
Jou blushed. “Yeah… same here.”
Seto wrapped his arms around Jou and cuddled up to him in a purely un-Kaiba like fashion, due probably to the fact that he’s still suffering from orgasmic bliss. “Should we sleep some more or take a bath?”
“I’m beat. Let’s sleep a little while longer and then we can take a bath. Our clothes will need washing too.” Jou yawned. “Maybe we should bathe in them. That might work…”
“Sleep,” whispered Seto closing his eyes.
Jou closed his eyes and followed Seto’s whispered order.

“You do realize you are a prisoner here, don’t you?” asked Bakura as he watched Namu applying some of his medicinal herbs to one of Tekh’s older wounds.
Namu glanced over his shoulder and smiled at Bakura. “I understand that, Bakura. But still, I have a responsibility to Isis. I have sworn to heal where I can, and I can help here. I will not allow myself to be held prisoner in my own body, so I will use my powers to heal.”
Bakura brushed a strand of Namu’s blond hair behind his ear. “Don’t kill yourself then. I might need you later.”
Namu blushed from Bakura’s touch.
Tekh rolled his eyes. “Just tie him to your bed and have your way with him already, Bakura! You’re making me sick with all this fake seduction crap!”
Bakura backhanded Tekh and scowled at his subordinate. “Get out of my sight, Tekh!”
“Fine… Bakura!” exclaimed Tekh rising to his feet and leaving the room.
Namu bit his lower lip. “Was he telling the truth?”
“Huh?”
“Are you trying to seduce me? Is it just a ploy to get what you want from me without ruining my ability to heal?” whispered Namu.
Bakura blinked at Namu. He stood up. “Come with me, Namu.”
“Where are we going?” Namu stood and followed Bakura out of his cell.
Bakura led Namu down the hall and he opened the door to a room. He stepped inside and moved over to collapse onto the bed.
Namu stopped in the doorway and looked around the shabby room. He saw the rundown bed and the ornate trunk that obviously once, or maybe even now, held a great treasure. He saw nothing else, not even a spare set of clothing for the room’s occupant. “Bakura… where are we?”
“This is my room,” said Bakura, “Enter if you want. Return to your cell if you’d like, but you’re welcome to stay in here from now on if it would be more comfortable for you. As for seducing you, I have better things to do than fall in love with one of Atemu’s healers! As for someone to share my bed for enjoyment… I could get anyone I want from the bar without nearly as much work as you’d be!”
“Are you saying you don’t want me in your bed?” asked Namu.
“I’m offering you a place in my bed rather than in a cell, aren’t I?” asked Bakura, “But I don’t expect you to perform for me. I need your healing abilities more than I need your body.”
Namu smiled slightly before walking slowly over to the bed and lying down beside Bakura. He curled up close to the tomb robber and closed his eyes with a yawn. “Using my healing powers is so tiring…”
“I’m sure… just like robbing tombs…”
“Are you always so warm?” whispered Namu drifting asleep.
“I’m cold-blooded. I’m never warm,” said Bakura.
Namu wrapped his arms around Bakura and rested his sleepy head on the shoulder, using some of the fine white hair as a makeshift pillow.
“Namu?” whispered Bakura.
“I should hate you… You killed Jono… I loved him once… He loved another, but I wasn’t bitter… I should hate you, but I don’t,” whispered Namu in his sleepy haze.
“Are you awake, Namu?” asked Bakura.
“Nuh-uh,” whispered Namu snuggling closer to Bakura.
“Are you asleep?”
“I’m sleeping. Please be quiet,” whispered Namu.
“In the morning, Namu, you’re going to explain to me who that Priest’s look-alike is. I may need to kill him just like I did the Priest of Osiris…” Bakura wrapped his arms around Namu with a sigh and closed his own eyes to fall asleep. “I hate the fact I like you.”

Shizuru fell to her knees panting. “I don’t understand! I can’t do it! Why can’t I do it?”
“I know it is difficult, Shizuru, but you need to be able to do this to become the Priestess of Osiris. This is only a temporary summoning of the God into your person,” said the elderly man watching over Shizuru’s training, “Try to relax, and let him come into you.”
“But I can’t! I can’t even feel him! I don’t know if he’s even interested in coming into me!” exclaimed Shizuru, “How can I become an Avatar if he doesn’t want to use my form?”
“You can’t,” said Jou stepping into the room, “I’m sorry for interrupting. I wanted to see how the training is going. I’m overly curious, I guess.”
“What do you know of Avatars?” asked Shizuru plainly ignoring the old man’s look of contempt when he gazed at Jou.
“I know a bit,” said Jou, “Tell me how you’re trying to contact and summon Osiris. Maybe I can guess what’s going wrong.”
“Well… I start with a mental exercise that will help me contact Osiris in the Valley of the Gods. It also clears my mind to make my body more acceptable for him to possess,” said Shizuru, “but I can’t do that. I can’t find him. I’m not making contact no matter how hard I try.”
“Hmm… That complicates things,” said Jou. He knelt in front of Shizuru and pulled her into a hug. He whispered a few words into her ear.
Shizuru sat back down in a comfortable position. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands over her heart. She whispered quietly, “Osiris, hear my words. Your guidance is requested…”
Jou and the old man watched as Shizuru said a few words in an ancient tongue, and her body went rigid.
Blood red eyes burst open, and a deep voice echoed through the room from the throat of the young girl, “What guidance would you need that would require the presence of a God?”
The old man fell to the floor unconscious.
Jou fell into a submissive position in front of the now God-possessed Shizuru. “Forgive me, my Lord, for my impertinence, but Jono, former Priest of Osiris, has passed on to the world of death, and the current Priestess of Seth may soon join him there. Forgive me, Lord Osiris, but who would you have oversee the Trials of Ptah’s Children for the children Shizuru and Sephiroh if the Priestess passes on?”
“You are unaware, Avatar, but Seth and I have always overseen the Trials,” said Osiris-Shizuru, “I will need a vessel, and yours will suit me. Seth would likewise need a vessel, but he may be persuaded to partake of the other time traveler’s body. Shizuru will do well as my next Priestess.”
“Thank you, my Lord,” said Jou, “I will inform Shizuru of your decision.”
Osiris-Shizuru’s eyes twinkled, and she smiled at Jou. “I wouldn’t recommend that, Avatar. She’ll find out in time. Tell no one of our conversation until the Trials are to be performed. I’d rather like to make a nice entrance. I rarely get that pleasure.”
Jou looked at the possessed form of his little sister’s soul, and he smiled. “Then I will make sure your presence at the Trials is a surprise!”
The red eyes closed, and the cinnamon-brown locks of hair fell in front of them as the head tilted down into an unconscious state.
Jou pulled Shizuru into his arms, and he stroked her hair lightly. “Everything’s going to be okay now, Shizu. Everything will be okay.”
- - Modern Day - -
Shizuka gasped as she raised her head from her hands. “Did anyone else hear that?”
“Hear what?” asked Honda gruffly.
“I heard Jou’s voice!” exclaimed Shizuka, “While I was… While I was praying, I heard his voice!”
“You couldn’t. He’s not here,” said Anzu staring out the window of the Kaiba mansion. She sighed and turned towards Shizuka. “I’m sorry, Shizuka. I miss Jou too, but… you couldn’t have heard him.”
“I did. I heard him! I know I did! I didn’t hear him with my ears! I heard him with my heart!” exclaimed Shizuka standing up, “I heard him in a special way we have always been able to talk to each other!”
“Is that something like telepathy between siblings?” asked Yugi.
“Sort of,” said Shizuka, “We talk to each other… through the power of a God.”
“What?” The voices of everyone blurred into one loud shout.
“Jou and I… we’re in training to become Priest and Priestess… to Osiris,” said Shizuka, “and I just heard Jou talk to me, telling me that everything would be okay, and he did so by calling out through our deity.”
“You and Jou are training to become… I didn’t think there were any who still worshipped my Gods,” said the other Yugi after having suddenly taken over control of the form he shared with Yugi.
“We don’t like to talk about it,” said Shizuka, “Our futures have been decided for us and we get no say in the matter, so we’re not too happy about it. I’m a Neophyte, and Jou’s an Avatar. We accept our responsibilities to Osiris, but that doesn’t mean we really want to do it. Jou seems to take to it a bit easier than I do. I think he may actually believe, but I know he’s scared a lot of the time… about becoming a Priest. He’d much rather be a food critic.”
A round of laughter filled the room.
“That’s Jou for you!” exclaimed Mokuba with a smile.
“So if Jou could contact you, can you do the same?” asked Yugi having regained control.
Shizuka bit her lower lip. “I’ll try, but I’m going to go up to my room to do so. Communicating through long distances is very draining and I’ll probably pass out trying. I have to pray first. I’ll be back in a few hours.”
“Good luck,” whispered Ryou as Shizuka passed him.
Shizuka headed up into the guest room Mokuba gave her as her own, and she set up a ritual that should enable her to contact her brother.
- - 3000 years ago - -
“May I have a word with you, Jou?” asked Seth quietly once the blond entered his bedchambers.
“I have nothing to say to you, Seth,” said Jou; “I thought I made myself clear that I wished nothing more to do with you.”
“You did make yourself perfectly clear, but I don’t accept that whatever we have between us can end so suddenly,” said Seth, “I was wrong to do what I did. Please allow me to apologize again, Jou. I’m sorry. I was wrong to ignore your wishes. I didn’t understand, and for that I am greatly sorry.”
Jou sighed. “When you came to me two days ago, I wasn’t ready to forgive you. That’s why I ignored you and pretended I couldn’t hear your apology.”
“You heard me?”
“I was on the balcony hiding from you,” said Jou.
Seth nodded his head and looked at the floor at Jou’s feet. “So… are you able to forgive me now?”
“I have communed with the gods I worship,” said Jou, “I can forgive you now, but if you make that mistake again, I will not forgive.”
Seth gently took Jou’s hands and brought them up to his lips to kiss them lightly. “I thank you, Jou, from the bottom of my heart. I will give you no further reason to despise me.”
“I don’t despise you. I was just upset with you. You didn’t respect me,” said Jou pulling his hands from Seth’s and turning away.
“I’m sorry. I will say it as many times as I need to get you to believe.”
“You’re lucky it isn’t in my disposition to stay angry with people for long!”
“Am I forgiven then? Can I hold you in my arms once more, my beloved Jou?”
Jou turned back to Seth with a smile. “I forgive you!”
Seth stepped up to Jou and pulled him into a warm embrace. “We shall take this as slow as you’d like.”
“So… you’d do anything to make sure you stay on my good side, right?” asked Jou breathing in the scent of the desert seemingly permeating Seth’s skin.
“I hope there’s no one you wish dead,” said Seth, “I would not risk the Pharaoh’s disfavor to stay within yours.”
“No, nothing like that!”
“What are you thinking?”
“Do you only like me because I’m Jono reincarnate?”
Seth sighed and pushed Jou away enough to look into the honey brown eyes. “In many ways, you are Jono, but in an equal number of ways, you are nothing like Jono. What attracted me to you at first was the part of you which was Jono, but that attraction was shallow and wouldn’t have lasted as long as all this. What keeps me attracted to you is the part of you that is solely Jou. I do not want you to replace Jono, Jou. You couldn’t possibly! You couldn’t be a Priest of Osiris, and you couldn’t shatter my spirit with a well-timed insult the way Jono could. You are more than Jono ever was, and while I do not love him more or less than you, I love you both.”
“Love? Who said anything about love?”
“I did. I love you, Jou. I feel complete when you are near me… like you are the other half of my soul.”
“Okay… I think I need to think about that,” said Jou.
“Yes… It is rather sudden, me confessing my true feelings about you being my soul twin,” said Seth brushing Jou’s hair away from his face, “I will leave you alone to think. Would you please have breakfast with me tomorrow, on the roof? We could watch the sunrise again if you’re up that early.”
“Breakfast sounds good. Come wake me in time for sunrise,” said Jou.
“I will.”
“Kiss me before you go. I have to know if your feelings are true as you’ve said,” said Jou hurriedly, “Kiss me and I will know.”
Seth pulled Jou into a kiss lasting far too long for their lungs’ sake but not nearly long enough for their hearts’ sake. “Until tomorrow morning then.”
“Tomorrow morning,” whispered Jou gently pushing Seth towards the door, “I’m tired. Leave me.”
Seth gave Jou a chaste kiss on his cheek before leaving the room.
Jou slumped down on his bed with an exasperated sigh. “Shit and fuck… Who would have thought one of them could love me?”
- - Modern Day - -
“I love you, Jou. Please answer me… where are you?” asked Shizuka lighting the candle on the makeshift altar before her and staring into the flickering flame.
- - 3000 years ago - -
“I’m here, Shizu… in my room,” said Jou before rolling over onto his stomach and burying his face in the bedding.
- - Modern Day - -
“Jou? Do you really hear me? Where are you and Kaiba?” asked Shizuka desperately.
- - 3000 years ago - -
“Well… I’m in my room,” mumbled Jou, “and Seto’s either in his or he’s in Namu’s room reading scrolls on how to prepare the herbs I thought were weeds. Hey, Shizuru, why did you call him Kaiba?”
- - Modern Day - -
“Jou? I’m Shizuka, not Shizuru!” Shizuka listened intently with every fiber of her heart, and she cried when she no longer heard Jou’s voice. She jumped to her feet and snuffed the candle with her bare hand before storming from the room and racing downstairs in a terrible fit. She burst into the living room where everyone gathered to discuss the next phase of the search. “That ass!”
“What happened?” asked Honda.
“I managed to contact him, but not only did he not tell me where he is, he called me Shizuru!” shouted Shizuka glaring at the wall as if she were her big brother glaring at Seto, “He said he was in his room and Seto was either in his room or in Namu’s room! Who the hell is Namu?”
“I swear, they are not in my room!” exclaimed Malik with wide eyes.
Ryou’s eyes widened. “I know… I mean… Bakura knows where they are!”
“Where?” the multitude of non-concurrent voices made the word come out slurred and almost not recognizable.
“I think he’d better tell you, although he doesn’t like that idea,” said Ryou closing his eyes and hanging his head.
“Bakura?” asked Mokuba slowly.
“That’s Thief King Bakura to you, pipsqueak!” exclaimed Bakura.
“Please… if you know where my brother is, please tell me,” said Shizuka allowing her famous puppy dog pout to grace her face and adding a few tears to the mix.
“Namu… was my… friend,” said Bakura turning his eyes from Shizuka’s tears, “He had been a healer at the Pharaoh’s palace, but I kidnapped him, and we came together… It was only natural for us… like we were meant to be.” His brown eyes rested on Malik’s soft face. “Namu looked just like Malik.”
Malik’s eyes widened. “I was a healer in ancient Egypt?”
Bakura nodded. “I killed the Priest of Osiris, but when I kidnapped Namu, I saw the dead Priest again, very much alive. When I asked Namu about it, he said the person I saw was actually the reincarnation of Jono the Priest.”
“Jou is the reincarnation of Jono,” said the other Yugi, “I’ve known it ever since I started to regain my memories. Jono had been a close friend of mine, and his spirit was returned to me in this life as Jou. So the Time Wizard did take Jou back in time. I don’t remember having Jou there though. Why do you, Bakura?”
“I remember that time best because Namu brought a little happiness into my life, while he was with me,” said Bakura closing his eyes.
“Did he die?” asked Malik.
Ryou opened his eyes. “Bakura’s retreated to his soul room now. He’s locked the door. He doesn’t want to be disturbed.”
“So who was Shizuru?” asked Anzu.
“Jono’s sister,” said the other Yugi, “who is now Shizuka.”
“Okay… we’ve figured out where they are,” said Otogi, “Now the question is…”
“How do we get them back?” asked Mai as she came in the door followed by Isis and Rishid.
“Mai! Isis! Rishid!” exclaimed Yugi with a huge smile on his face, “You didn’t have to come, but I’m glad you did!”
“Jou’s a friend of ours,” said Isis, “How could we not come?”
“Okay, so we’re all assembled. Let’s hope we can think of something,” said Mokuba, “I want Seto and Jou back.”
- - 3000 years ago - -
Shizuru runs into Jou’s room with Seth right behind her.
“Ow… shit… dammit… I’m never helping you again, Shizu!” moaned Jou as tears of pain slid through his clenched eyelids.
“Jou! Shizuru told me you’d hurt yourself!” exclaimed Seth hurrying to Jou’s side, “What did you do? Where does it hurt?”
“My back…”
“He was trying to get something off a high shelf for me. He fell down from the ladder and landed on his back,” said Shizuru, “It was all I could do to get him back here to his room.”
“All right. Thank you, Shizuru. You may return to your studies. I will take care of Jou,” said Seth. He looked over Jou as he heard the girl sigh before leaving the room as he asked. “Now, Jou. I’m going to have to find out exactly what you did to your back, so I’m going to be touching you. Tell me what hurts and how badly.”
“Okay.”
Seth removed his jewelry and tossed his cape aside with it so he wore only the simplest of clothing before helping Jou to roll onto his stomach and then straddling his hips. He moved his hands across Jou’s back, listening to the pained gasps and groans. “That’s it. This clothing is only getting in the way. We’ll need to remove it.”
Jou blushed, but he didn’t object as Seth helped him out of his clothes and draped a towel over his rear end to hide his modesty.
“Oh, yes… I see the problem,” whispered Seth once he resumed his examination, “Namu could heal this in a second. If only he were here. I can help you though, but I will need to get a vial of oil from Namu’s stores. I will only be a few moments. Don’t move.”
“Oh, I’m not going anywhere!” exclaimed Jou.
Seth smirked as he headed out of the room to fetch the oil he desired. He returned moments later with a small bottle in hand, and he once again straddled Jou’s hips, settling himself down in a comfortable position that would look intimate and sexual to any onlookers.
“Is this going to hurt?” asked Jou.
“Perhaps a little, but I will try to be gentle.” Seth poured some oil onto his hand and rubbed them both together before softly placing them upon Jou’s back and massaging the tense muscles and sore spine. His groin ground against Jou’s covered butt as he rocked to reach different muscles.
Jou moaned loudly. “Oh, damn… that feels good. Do that again!”
Neither the brunet or the blond noticed another brunet appear on the joined balcony and look into the room, nor did they notice the look of outrage and hurt flash across his features.
“Oh, oh, yes!” exclaimed Jou, “There! Right there! Harder!”
“Anything for you, love,” said Seth applying more pressure to the spot.
Seto turned away in disgust and returned to his room. “He’s always first… He stole Jou’s first kiss… His first hand job… Now he’s even having sex with him before me… Damn them both! If Jou wants Seth… fuck this! I will not allow Seth to have him! Seth may have gotten him first, but I will get him forever! This means war, Seth! Jou is my puppy! He is mine!”
