I need a break!
Seto sat at his desk in his bedroom, starring at his computer screen. He could see a bunch of various papers scattered about the desk, his bed still made from four days ago calling his name from its lonely corner across the room. Seto glanced at the bed, then his blood shot eyes slowly moving back to his desk. //I have to get this stuff done// Seto reminded himself with a sigh, once again beginning to work through another night.
That morning Seto looked at the little clock at the bottom of his screen, then looked at his windows and noticed the sun coming up behind the curtains. //Damn, time for school already?// Seto slowly stood, feeling a bit dizzy. He shutdown his computer and got in the shower. He quickly got dressed in the horrid school uniform and walked downstairs. He found Mokuba in the dinning room eating his breakfast, a maid hurrying off to get his own breakfast. Seto sat down at the table and put his head in his hands as he waited.
�You ok, big brother? You don�t look so good� Mokuba noticed, shoving almost an entire waffle into his mouth (hey, growing boys need food, right^_^)
�I�m fine� Seto managed to mumble, not realizing he was almost going to sleep.
�Here�s your breakfast, Mr. Kaiba� the maid smiled.
Seto didn�t even acknowledge the young girl and starred at his food.
�Is there something wrong with the food, Sir?� the girl asked, a bit nervous.
Seto blinked slowly, ��.no, I�m just not hungry� Seto said, his stomach deciding to growl rather loudly in objection.
�Seto, I don�t think you�ve eaten in days, you should eat something� Mokuba said, his concern growing for his brother.
Just the thought sickened Seto, �No, I�m good. I�m going to leave, now� Seto stood and turned to leave.
�Poor Master Kaiba, he looks just awful� the maid said sadly.
�Can I have his breakfast?� Mokuba asked the girl.
�Oh, sure, sweetheart, just be quick, I don�t want you to be late for school� she smiled, handing the plate to Mokuba.

Seto arrived at Domino High School. As he walked through the halls he just glared straight forward like a pissed off zombie. He finally reached his class and found Yugi and his idiot friends in a cluster fuck towards the back of the room looking at Duel Monster cards, however, Seto found he didn�t even have the energy to roll his eyes at the scene. Seto found his desk and sat down with a plop, letting his head fall to the desk top with a loud thud, then covered his head with his arms. //There�s five minutes until the bell, I can sleep just a bit// Seto reasoned with himself.
Yugi and all watched Seto come in the classroom with not one comment and then starred as he practically passed out at his desk.
�He doesn�t look so good� Joey pointed out.
�He looks like shit, actually� Duke corrected.
�He looks worn out and tired� Yugi said in concern. Yugi walked to Seto�s desk, �Hey Seto, are you ok?� Yugi asked, putting a hand on Seto�s shoulder.
Seto slowly sat up and glared at Yugi, �I�m fine� Seto mumbled, looking to see all of Yugi�s friends starring at him. �Why don�t you go back to you�re pathetic group of friends and mind your own business� Seto growled.
�Ok, fine, Kaiba� Yugi sighed, walking back over to his friends.
Seto watched Yugi go back and the rest of the group turned back to what they were doing, except Ryou. Seto looked at Ryou and the white haired boy quickly shifted his eyes back to looking at Joey�s deck laid out on the desk and pretending to listen to what the others were talking about. //What�s he looking at?// Seto mumbled mentally. Soon the bell rung and everyone raced to their seats. The teacher walked in and quickly, with eight cups of coffee backing her up, began her lesson on Trigonometry. Seto thought he�d die of boredom while everyone else sat confused or sleeping.
�Seto, would you come up to the board, please?� the teacher called after writing a problem on the chalk board for the last five minutes.
Seto stood slowly, his head becoming dizzier. He blinked a couple of times, his vision blurry, and phasing between blackness and fuzzy. Seto began to walk forward, not even realizing he was using the desks to support himself. His breathing became short, panicked breaths, beads of sweat breaking out on his face.
�Seto, are you ok?� the teacher asked.
Before Seto could respond, he collapsed onto the ground, everyone gasping. The teacher ran to his side.
�Seto? Someone get the nurse!� the teacher yelled, shaking Seto trying to get him conscious.
�I�ll go� Joey volunteered, running out of the room.
Seto slowly opened his eyes, seeing a florescent light above him. He could hear people talking and what sounded like a heart monitor beeping.
�He�s awake� a voice said.
A moment later Seto was surrounded by people. He looked around to find Mokuba, Yugi, Yami, Joey, Mai, Tea, Tristan, Ryou, Bakura, Malik, and Marik.
�Where am I?� Seto said just barely above a whisper.
�You�re in the hospital� a cheery voice informed. �My name is Dr. Barrette, how are you feeling, Mr. Kaiba?� the doctor asked.
�Like shit� Seto coughed.
�Hmmm�well, you should be rested. You�ve been asleep for a few days, now� the doctor smiled.
�You scared me, big brother� Mokuba said, taking his brother�s hand, �I thought you may not wake up.�
�We were all worried about you� Yami said seriously.
�Why am I here?� Seto asked the doctor.
�You passed out in class. Mostly from dehydration and a literally empty stomach. You haven�t eaten in about five days before you were out, hence the feeding tube� the doctor gestured at the tubes, �and your stress levels are way too high, causing physical as well as mental problems, and I have to say, for someone your age, that�s just not healthy� the doctor informed.

�When can I get out of here?� Seto asked.
�In a day or two. After that, I suggest a vacation with lots of good food, drink, and fun. Next time, it could be a heart attack, it is possible. Now, you�re friends can stay for a few more minutes, then you�re going to rest� the doctor smiled and walked out of the room.
�Seto, promise me you�ll be more careful� Mokuba asked.
Seto looked at his brother and sighed, �Fine� he didn�t plan on carrying out his promise, but it made his brother feel better.
�You really, should, Kaiba, your life depends on you taking care of yourself� Yugi pointed out.
Seto narrowed his eyes, �Why should you care?�
�I do care, we may not get along too well, but I still consider you a friend, we all do� Yugi smiled.
�I don�t even hardly know him� Marik pointed out, Malik elbowing him in the side, �What?� he asked.
�Just be quiet, we�re here because Bakura didn�t want to be here and the only reason he�s here is because Ryou wanted to come� Malik reminded his yami.
�Whatever� Marik shrugged, crossing his arms.
�You can leave, now� Seto said coldly, but in his mind he just wanted to jump out the window. He hated them all seeing him like this and none of them really wanted to be there, they didn�t care, and that was fine with him�but, for some reason, it still hurt.
�Ok, well, I hope you get better� Yugi gave a small smile and walked out, Yami following.
�Take care, rich boy� Joey winked, leaving with Mai.
Seto watched at Ryou just gave him a small smile and left, Bakura, Malik, and Marik following. //That kid�s a little strange// Seto thought watching Ryou leave.
�Seto, can�t I stay? I wanna stay with you� Mokuba asked.
�Go home, Mokuba, I�ll be ok and be back in no time� Seto squeezed his brother�s hand.
�Alright� Mokuba said with disappointment, he leaned over and hugged his brother, �I love you, big brother� Mokuba smiled and walked out of the room.

Seto let a big sigh after his brother left. //Stress? What stress? He had been doing the same thing for years, how was it different? And now he had to stay here which just gave him more work when he got back, he should just leave now. Not to mention all the bull shit homework he�ll have to get done, that�ll just waste his time. And how dare Yugi and Yami show up and say they care? That little brat, he just likes to beat me at dueling. One day I have to beat him, I just can�t believe I haven�t, yet. If none of them care, they shouldn�t have wasted their time in coming�// Seto thought, feeling a familiar depression grow in his chest. He closed his eyes, losing himself in this growing darkness. It always felt like weights were being put on to his chest and shoulders and legs, and every time he thought about it, about how much he was alone and no one cared, everything would just get heavier and heavier. He was miserable, he had everything in the world, yet still envied what Yugi had�friends. He pretended not to care, and at first he didn�t, but its different now. He sees how happy they always are and how much they support and care for each other. Sure, he had Mokuba, but he always had to be strong for his brother, he couldn�t talk to him, either. Seto felt tears sting his eyes, his head was pounding, the sadness and anger he felt was just so strong.
The doctor came into the room and seen Seto�s chest heaving, his eyes closes as if he was in pain, tears rolling down his face.
�Mr. Kaiba, are you ok?� he asked.
Seto opened his eyes, startled, and sat up, �I�m fine� Seto said, his voice shaky.
�Could you calm down for me?� the doctor asked, looking at the heart monitor.
�I am calm! Why do I still have to be here? I need to get back� Seto snapped.
�Here, this will help� the doctor took out a need and a small brown bottle of liquid.
�What�s that?� Seto asked, eyeing the needle.
�It will help calm you down� the doctor explained.
�I don�t want it� Seto said quickly.
�You don�t have a choice� the doctor said, sticking the needle into Seto�s arm. �I think I�m going to refer you to a psychologist, ok?� the doctor said more than asked, taking the needle out.
Seto narrowed his eyes, �I don�t need one, I told you I�m ok� Seto felt his heart slow down and his eye lids get heavy. �I can�take care of�myself� Seto said more calmly, laying back down and falling asleep almost immediately.
�Sure� the doctor rolled his eyes, leaving the room.
The next day Seto left the hospital making it clear he was not going to see the psychologist. As soon as he left the hospital he didn�t even bother to go home and instead went straight to K.C. headquarters and began working, going back and forth between his office and the lab, and when he was on a break he was doing school homework and projects.
Seto sat at his desk for the moment, typing furiously on his laptop, the phone ringing every five minutes. Mokuba came into the office.
�Seto, it�s Saturday, can�t you take the day off? You did promise you�d take it easy, and you haven�t eaten all day, again, you�re gonna end up back at the hospital� Mokuba said in concern, walking up beside his brother.
�Mokuba, I have work that needs to be done. I�ll eat when I get home� Seto said, not bothering to look at Mokuba.
�Are you even gonna come home?� Mokuba asked.
�Probably� Seto shrugged, ��so that�s what needs to happen� Seto mumbled to himself, when some type of results came up on the computer.
Mokuba became angry, �Won�t you even look at me?! You�re so obsessed with this damn company it�s like you�re not even alive! Yugi�s more like my brother than you! He at least spends time with me!� Mokuba shouted.
Seto looked at his brother, �Yugi? You�ve been hanging out with Yugi?� Seto asked.
�Yes! He�s nice, Seto, he has the biggest heart, he needs to like somebody like you!� Mokuba screamed, then his eyes got wide, he just told Yugi�s secret!
�Huh?� was all Seto managed, then the phone rang. �Kaiba� Seto answered, still staring at his brother, who now had a guilty expression on his face.
�Hi, Kaiba, this is Yami�how are you feeling?� Yami asked.

Seto raised an eyebrow, �Fine, what do you want, Yami?� Seto said, annoyed.
�Yugi and I were just wondering where Mokuba was, he was suppose to stop by and hang out�you could come too, if you�d like, I wouldn�t mind, well, no one would, is what I meant� Yami corrected himself.
�I have work to do, I suppose Mokuba will be over shortly, bye� Seto hung up.
�Did you say Yugi likes me? As a friend, right? I know how he is� Seto asked.
�Never mind, I didn�t say anything, besides, he needs somebody who can love back� Mokuba gave his brother an accusing look.
Seto turned in his chair and faced his brother, �I�m sorry, Mokuba, I really am. I�m working today because being in the hospital put me behind, we�ll spend all of next weekend together, ok?� Seto compromised.
�Alright� Mokuba sighed, then put his arms around Seto, �I love you, Seto� Mokuba reminded his brother.
�I love you too, Mokuba� Seto kissed his brother�s forehead, �now go have fun� Seto smiled.
�K�� Mokuba ran off.
Seto yawned and stretched in his chair, his cell phone starting to ring.
�Kaiba� Seto answered.
�Hey, sup? How are you feeling? Better?� Duke asked.
�Yeah, I�ll be ok� Seto said, wondering why Duke called�and how he got his number.
�That�s good. So, what are you doing today? I�m not doing much, thought you might want to hang out or something� Duke offered.
�No. I�ve got work to do, owning an entire corporation�s a bit more complicated than owning one store� Seto said coldly, hanging up, just so it could ring again. �Kaiba� Seto answered.
�Hi, this is Tea� Tea�s voice said cheerfully.
Seto hung up. //How did she get my number, of all people? Why are they calling me? I bet they feel sorry for me or something. Well, they can take their pity and shove it so high up their asses they choke on it// Seto thought, his office phone ringing.

�What?� Seto answered.
�Hey, Kaiba, this is Joey, me and Tristan were gonna go hang out with Yami and Yugi, wanna come?� Joey asked.
Seto starred at the wall in front of him, confused, �No, Joey, I don�t. As I�ve already informed Yami and Yugi, I-have-a-lot-of-work-to-do, tell all your friends not to call me and that if they�re so bored as to do so, that they�d be more entertained if (got this next part from Spongebob, but it works) if they ripped out their brain stem, walked to the nearest four way intersection and skipped rope with it!� Set hung up the phone.
Seto let his head fall to his desk with a thud, letting his arms dangle.
�I hate my life� he grumbled.
�Mr. Kaiba, doctor Barrette�s on the line� Seto�s secretary beeped in.
�Great� Seto picked up the phone, �Yes, doc, I am working today, may the world end� Seto answered.
�Ok, good day to you too. Have you eaten yet today?� the doctor asked.
�Sure� Seto said.
�Right, have you taken a break?� the doctor continued.
�Sure� Seto answered.
�Go take a break, I can tell you�re lying� Dr. Barrette said in a parent�s tone.
�Guess all that college paid off� Seto said sarcastically.
�Funny. Take a break and eat something. I swear the next time you�re in the hospital for the same damn thing, I can and will keep you there whether you like it or not. Yes I can do that, don�t try me� Dr. Barrette warned.
Seto narrowed his eyes, �Yes, father� he snapped and hung up.
//He�s probably right, I do need a break// Seto looked at his watch, it was already four o�clock. Seto stood and stretched, putting his laptop in its bag and walked out of his office.
�Sarah, I�m leaving for a few minutes, transfer all my calls to my cell� Seto informed his secretary.
�Sure thing, Mr. Kaiba� Sarah winked.
�Right� Seto left, walking towards the park.
Seto sat down on a bench in a secluded part of the park where most of the trees were. He looked at the McDonald�s bag he placed beside him. For some reason he just didn�t want to eat. It took him forever to drink some of the soda. //What�s wrong with me?// Seto asked himself. He sighed and got out his laptop and began working on what he could.
A few minutes later a dog came running down the small path heading straight for Kaiba. It jumped up on the bench and began attacking the McDonald�s bag, quickly reaching the hamburger and fries.
�Get out of here� Seto told the dog, not really caring about the food.
�Amane, get back here!� a voice called in an English accent.
Seto looked up to see Ryou running after the dog. The white haired boy stopped and grabbed the leash.
�I�m so sorry, Seto, she just slipped from me� Ryou apologized with a shy smile. �Oh, no, she ate your dinner, here� Ryou dug a hand into his pocket, pulling out some cash, �I�ll pay you back for that� Ryou handed the money to Seto.
�No, that�s fine, keep it. I didn�t plan on eating it anyway� Seto looked at the dog, who just sat on the bench, its tongue hanging out and looking at him, the food completely gone.
�Oh�well, I�m still very sorry� Ryou put the money back in his pocket. �Nice running into you, see you later, Seto� Ryou smiled and started to walk away.
�Ryou?� Seto asked, the boy turning around.
�Yes?� Ryou asked.
�Did you want to sit down?� Seto asked.
�That�s ok, I can see you�re busy� Ryou said, the dog trying to pull him along.
�No, I don�t mind� Seto said, clearing his things off the bench.
�Thank you� Ryou walked back over and sat down. �This dog�s been literally running me around all day� Ryou explained.
�Didn�t know you had a dog� Seto said, going back to his laptop.
�I just got her, actually. Sometimes it�s nice to have a friend that just listens and looks up at you and smiles� Ryou said, petting the dog.
�Yeah�so, her name�s Amane, that�s interesting, most people just name their dog Buddy or Spot� Seto said, getting bored with the computer.
�Well, I named her after my sister. For some reason she just reminds me of her, that�s why I got her� Ryou explained.
�Didn�t know you had a sister� Seto said, deciding to put the laptop away.
�Oh, well, she passed away when I was young�� Ryou said, a hint of sadness in his tone.
�I�m sorry. I can�t imagine, I�d die if Mokuba�yeah� Seto decided to change the conversation, �So, where�s Bakura?� Seto asked.
�With Malik and Marik. I don�t really like to join in with their �fun�� Ryou smiled.
�What about the others?� Seto asked, �I know they�re all hanging out tonight.�
�Yeah, I know, they asked me to join them. I like them and to hang out or whatever, but sometimes I can�t help but feel I don�t quite fit in� Ryou shrugged and looked at Seto, �What about you?�
�What do you mean?� Seto asked.
�Who are you usually spending time with?� Ryou asked.
�I�m usually working, or with Mokuba. He likes for us to spend time together� Seto chuckled at how boring he sounded.
�That�s nice that you spend time with him� Ryou stood, �I�d better be heading back.�
�Right, suppose I should be too,� Seto said, standing as well.
�Nice talking to you� Ryou smiled and walked off, the dog realizing they were leaving and started running, tugging Ryou along.
Seto smiled as the teenager tried to get the dog to stop to no avail. //He�s interesting, not like the others// Seto thought, and began to walk back to the headquarters.
Seto worked in the lab until nearly ten o�clock at night when his cell phone rang.
�Kaiba� Seto answered, a bit out of breath and covered in sweat from putting a new machine for his virtual system together.
�Mr. Kaiba, sorry to disturb you, but I am unable to pick Master Mokuba up from Master Yugi�s house due to a family problem that�s come up� Seto�s chauffer explained.
�And Miloh (the butler) is too old to drive at night� Seto realized.
�I�m very sorry� the chauffer said in shame.
�No, that�s ok, I�ll go get him� Seto said, hanging up and explaining to his few employees that were working with him that he�d be back and that they could just go home.
Twenty minutes later Seto arrived at the Game Shop and knocked on the door, Yami answering the door.
�Hello, Kaiba� Yami smiled, noticing the white, sweat-drenched undershirt Seto was wearing and the tight jeans, his hair wet on the ends from the sweat, the summer night heat not helping. Yami licked his lips, �Here for Mokuba?� the spirit asked.
�Yeah� Seto said, seeing Mokuba come downstairs with Yugi, both laughing.
�Hey, Kaiba!� Yugi smiled, blushing a bit.
Seto crossed his arms, �Hi� he mumbled.
�Have a good day? Sorry you couldn�t hang out with us� Yugi continued.
�We had lots of fun� Mokuba hugged his brother, �Eeeww, Seto, you�re so sweaty, were you working on the new system?� Mokuba asked.
�Yes� Seto replied quickly, �now let�s go� Seto turned to leave.

�You should really try and join us next time� Yami smiled seductively and closed the door.
�He�s just strange sometimes� Seto grumbled to himself, then heard Mokuba giggle.
�What?� Seto asked.
�Nothing, it�s just Yami likes you too, Yugi told me. They�re secretly competing with each other to see who you fall for� Mokuba explained, getting into the car.
�Is that so? What makes them think I�m into guys to begin with?� Seto asked, speeding off.
�I don�t know, are you?� Mokuba asked.
�I don�t think about such things, I have more important matters to attend to� Seto answered truthfully�he never really did think about it before.
�You�ve never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before, Seto. Yugi thinks you should have because of how cute and smart you are� Mokuba went on with more giggling.
�Want to know what I think? I think Yami and Yugi are hanging with you so they can tell you all this so you�ll tell me because they�re too afraid to tell me themselves because they know I�d just cuss them out� Seto reasoned, pulling into the gates that automatically opened to enter his driveway to the mansion.
�They like being friends with me, though� Mokuba said, a bit hurt by Seto�s conclusions.
Seto looked at his brother, �I�m sure they do, you�re a cool guy� Seto ruffled his brother�s hair and got out of the car.
�Then how come you don�t like being with me?� Mokuba asked.
�Mokuba, I told you, I�m busy a lot. We spend time together when I can. I can�t be with you all the time, you�re old enough to understand this� Seto said a bit annoyed, walking inside.
�I know, sorry�good night, big brother� Mokuba went upstairs.
Seto ran a tired hand through his hair and walked up to his room, taking a quick shower and putting some comfortable, cotton boxers on. He then fell back onto his bed and starred at the ceiling. He could never go to sleep, maybe he had insomnia or something. Seto sighed and rolled off his bed, restless he went to his balcony and rested his elbows on the railing. He looked at the huge pool and garden in the back and how the moon�s light reflected off the crystal water. //Do I like other guys?// Seto asked himself. How was he suppose to know? He�s never even been with a girl. He�s never kissed, the only person he�s ever hugged was his brother. He didn�t even know what an orgasm felt like. He�s never liked somebody, he�s never been in love, the only person he loves is his brother, and that�s different. Seto began to feel a deep emptiness in his heart, he just felt really�alone. He has everything in the world and it seemed the bigger his house, the bigger his corporation, the bigger the darkness in his soul grew and swallowed him up. Seto felt pain in his chest, he had to stop thinking like this, he may literally hurt himself.
�Why did mom and dad have to die?� Seto whispered to himself, a tear rolling painfully quiet down his cheek.
Seto suddenly heard a dog�s bark and looked out into the garden. He seen a golden retriever running straight for the pool and jump in, barking loudly. Seto ran out of his room and downstairs and to the back yard. Soon Mokuba joined him.
�Look, Seto, a dog! Can we keep it!?� Mokuba asked.
�No� Seto said, walking towards the pool.
The dog was gingerly splashing around with its tongue hanging out, a leash still on its collar. Seto almost let a smile come to his face. He knew this dog, it was Ryou�s dog Amane.
�Amane, come!� Seto called.
The dog barked and jumped out of the pool, attacking Seto to the ground, licking his face and getting him soaked.
�He likes you, Seto� Mokuba laughed.
�It�s�a she� Seto struggled to stand, finally defeating the animal, who was still jumping on him.
�How do you know?� Mokuba asked.
�Well, besides the fact she doesn�t have a dick, I know this dog, it belongs to Ryou, I seen him and Amane earlier. She must have gotten away from him again� Seto smiled. �Anyway, I�ll return her tomorrow, it�s too late in the night now� Seto shrugged, just then the dog jumping on him and knocking him into the pool and continuing to lick him.
Mokuba laughed, �I think she loves you, Seto� Mokuba said in a sarcastic mushy tone.
�Funny� Seto grabbed the dog�s collar and forced it to jump out of the pool with him.
Seto tied the leash to a tree, �She�ll be ok here� he said, soaked and slobbery.
�Ok� Mokuba agreed.
The two went back inside and Seto got another shower. He then crawled into his bed, actually wanting to sleep, however, Amane kept barking. Mokuba came into Seto�s room.
�Seto, can you get that dog to be quiet?� Mokuba asked, rubbing a tired eye.
�I�ll try� Seto sighed, getting back out of bed.
Seto walked all the way outside and when he was about seven feet away from Amane she stopped barking and just stood there smiling at him, her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
�Be quiet, Amane� Seto commanded, and started to walk away and the dog started to bark.
�Shut up!� Seto growled.
Amane starred at him a moment, then when Seto started to walk away she started barking again.
�May silence befall upon you, you horrid beast!� Seto yelled, half way insane.
The dog whimpered, laying down.
�Better, now stay that way� Seto said coldly, than began to walk away again.
Amane stood back up and began barking.
�Seto! I can�t sleep!� Mokuba called from upstairs.
Seto thought if that dog was his he�d rip its tongue out with his own teeth, too bad. Seto sighed and walked over to the tree and sat down. Amane smiled and laid down in his lap and closed her eyes.
�Great� Seto mumbled, at least it was a warm night.
Seto put his head against the tree and finally fell asleep.
That morning Seto woke up to a dog slobbering all over his face.
�What the..?� Seto scrambled to his feet, a golden retriever smiling up at him with its tongue hanging out of its mouth, drool dripping off the tongue.
�Time to get rid of you� Seto almost wanting to laugh like an evil scientist would, but he still had a little bit of a grip on his sanity so he decided to just go upstairs and shower�again, the dog barking the whole time he was gone.
Seto walked down the sidewalk, the dog pulling him along, Mokuba by his side. The dog stopped at a bush and sniffed a bit before squatting, looking back at Seto with a smile.
�I hate this dog� Seto growled under his breath.
�I think she�s cute� Mokuba laughed.
�Hey, Seto!� Joey called, him and Tristan running to their side of the sidewalk.
�Hi� Seto�s eye twitched.
�I didn�t know you had a dog, what�s her name?� Joey asked.
Seto looked at Joey, noticing the blonde�s cheeks blushing, �It�s not mine, it�s Ryou�s. It came to my house last night I�m returning it� Seto explained.
�Her name�s Amane� Mokuba said, petting the dog when it returned from the bush.
�Really? Cool, hey, Seto, whatchya� doin� today?� Joey asked, Tristan rolling his eyes.
�Not much, probably working� Seto answered with a shrug.
�Again?� Mokuba whined.
�For real, Seto, you did that yesterday and you�re gonna do that tomorrow, you�re suppose to be takin� it easy. Why don�t you hang with us? We�re gonna go with Yami, Yugi, Malik, Marik, and Bakura to the movies, then the arcade, then the mall, and then spin the night at Ryou�s house cause it�s the biggest� Joey said all in one breath.
�Sounds stimulating� Seto said dryly.
�Mokuba can come too� Joey smiled.
�Oh, please! Seto, can we go???? Please????� Mokuba begged, giving his brother huge, teary puppy eyes.
Seto hated himself, he NEVER let those eyes down, �Fine� Seto sighed.
�YES!!!!!!!!!!� Mokuba hugged his brother, squeezing him to death.
�Well, then, we�ll go with ya� to Ryou�s to return the dog then the day can start!� Joey put an arm around Seto�s shoulders, walking on.
Seto�s eye twitched again and just walked on. They soon reached the British boy�s house, Joey knocking on the door.
�Hey, Ryou! It�s Joey!� Joey called.
A moment later Ryou answered the door, �Oh, hello� he smiled, then seen Seto and seemed a bit shocked.
�Your dog came by last night� Seto explained, handing the leash back to Ryou.
�Oh, thank you so much, I was so worried, she got away from me again� Ryou smiled, the dog jumping up on him.
Seto smiled when Ryou seemed so happy to have his dog back.
�You�re welcome� Seto said softly.
Everyone was silent, including Amane, and stared at Seto, he had never said those words in his life�that they knew of.
�So, we�ll se ya� later, then� Joey smiled.
�Wait, why don�t you come with us, Ryou?� Seto asked, never losing eye contact with Ryou�s beautiful eyes.
�Oh, that�s ok� Ryou said, looking down to the floor, his cheeks turning red from what seemed embarrassment.
�Why not?� Seto asked, �I�m coming along� Seto gave a small smile.
�If he doesn�t want to come don�t make him� Joey said casually, as if he had long given up on getting Ryou to join the group.
Suddenly Bakura came downstairs and came up behind Ryou, kind of moving him out of the way.
�Are we going or not? We have to get to Marik and Malik�s house too� Bakura said to Joey, looking at Seto up and down quickly.
�Don�t bring too much cash, Kaiba, you may not have it all when you leave� the thief laughed, walking past Seto and smacking his ass, causing the CEO to jump a little.
�Please come� Seto asked Ryou again.
�Well�if you really want� Ryou said quietly.
�Yes� Seto leaned forward a bit, �I need just one other sane person with me� he smiled.
Ryou blushed, �Alright, then� Ryou said, joining the group.
�Coming, aibou?� Bakura asked.
�Yes� Ryou said shyly.
The whole group was soon together and made their way to the movies. When it was time to sit down, it seemed that Yami and Yugi were mentally fighting each other on who would sit next to Seto, Mokuba already claiming a seat next to his brother. However, while those two were fighting, Joey was going to take the opportunity, but Tea and Mai ended up fighting with him because they wanted to sit next to the CEO as well, and why those five were fighting, Duke jumped into the seat next to Seto, giving the brunette his hottest smile. Everyone eventually sat down, Ryou being all the way on the end next to Tea. During the movie Duke got up to get more soda, turning sideways to get out of the aisle, purposely making sure Seto seen his cute, tight ass, and because Seto�s legs were so long and he couldn�t really move them out of the way, Duke had to step over each leg ever so seductively. However, while Duke was gone, Mai made a dash for the seat before Yami and Yugi did. Duke came back angry as hell.
�Oh, you were coming back, I�m sorry� Mai winked.
Duke had death in his eyes and sat in Mai�s seat. Mai took Seto�s hand, getting an odd look from the Kaiba Corp president.
�This movie gets scary� Mai said, squeezing his hand.
Seto could not believe what was happening. It appeared that everyone liked him. How was this possible? He was so�boring. Seto could see Mai looking at him out of the corner of his eye. She just kept looking at him up and down, licking her lips. He felt very exposed, he might as well have been sitting there naked next to that woman. Finally, by an incredible stroke of luck the movie did end, and the group went to the huge arcade in the theatre.
Seto was able to find Ryou in a corner, his hands in his pockets.
�Having fun?� Seto asked the other boy, leaning against the wall beside him.
�Sure� Ryou gave a weak smile.
Seto looked to see Mokuba reach an ultimate high score on a game he was playing against Joey, �at least Mokuba�s having a good time� Seto sighed.
�Yeah� Ryou nodded.
�Play any games?� Seto asked, pushing himself off the wall.
�Sometimes� Ryou said.
�Well, come on, we might as well play one� Seto smiled, taking Ryou�s hand.
�Ok� Ryou smiled, following Seto.
Seto chose a game where the players were powerful demons that destroyed all that was good. They each put some coins in and hovered their fingers over the buttons, ready.
�Why this game?� Ryou had to ask.
�Thought you might like it. I�ve noticed your dueling deck� Seto explained.
�Oh� Ryou smiled, loosening up a bit.
The game began and the two furiously fought, drawing a crowd, mostly because Seto Kaiba was playing. People were cheering them on as they reached a new high score.
�One more level and we�ll reach the highest score possible� Seto said to Ryou.
�We�ll do it� Ryou assured.
About 15 minutes later the screen flashed the highest score.
�We did it!� Ryou smiled at Seto, �We made a good team.�
�Yeah�we do� Seto smiled, the crowd cheering them on.
�Yes, kind of like Seto and I when he duel together as a team� Yami said, walking up to the two and putting an arm around Seto�s waist.
�Right, after you beg Seto to work with you� Duke said, glaring at the spirit.
Yugi came up and grabbed Seto�s hand, �Let�s get to Ryou�s house, it�s getting late� he said, dragging Seto off.
The group reached the house and made tons of popcorn and got cases of soda and went downstairs to the den while Bakura, Marik, and Malik just went ahead upstairs and proceeded to have a threesome all night.
In the den, they turned some music on so they couldn�t hear the thumping and the screams coming from the three upstairs. Seto sat at the end of the couch, Yami next to him, an arm around his shoulders and Yami leaning so close to him he was almost in his lap. Joey sat in front of the couch, leaning on it between Seto�s legs. The rest of the group at to settle with not being so close to Seto. Yugi sitting next to Yami, Duke sitting next to Yugi, Tristan sitting in a recliner chair by himself, Tea at his feet like Joey was with Seto, and Mai sitting on the love seat with Mokuba. Ryou sitting in a corner by himself.
�So, what are we gonna to this time?� Joey asked.
�I have the dice� Duke said, pulling out two red and black naughty dice.
Yami looked at Seto�s confused face and leaned in to his ear, �Two people roll the dice and whatever the dice say they have to do to each other, it�s just a fun game� Yami explained, putting emphasis on the word �fun�.
�Great� Seto sighed.
�You don�t have to play, we could just go upstairs� Yami whispered.
�You�re such a slut� Joey said to the spirit.
�You�re just jealous� Yami stuck his tongue out.
�Ok, let�s just play� Tristan sighed, was he the only one that didn�t have a crush on Seto?
�Got the bottle� Mai said, pulling a glass root beer bottle out of her bag.
�You spin the bottle to see who is going to roll the dice with you since there�s more than two people� Yami explained to Seto.
�I�ll go first� Joey offered, spinning the bottle and rolling the dice.
The bottle landed on Duke, and the dice said �lick� and �stomach�. Joey stood along with Duke. Joey got on his knees and pulled Duke�s shirt up, then held on to Duke�s hips, starting very low on the other boy�s abdomen and slowly running his hot tongue up the soft skin. Duke closed his eyes momentarily, enjoying the teasing sensation. Duke then rolled the dice, one landing on �rub� and �mouth�. Duke smiled, he could have fun with this. Duke ran his fingertips along Joey�s mouth, his face only an inch from the blonde. He let his warm breath moisten Joey�s lips that begged to be kissed. Duke then smiled and sat down, perfectly happy that now Joey had a huge bulge in his pants.
�This is going to be a long night� Seto sighed, Yami putting a hand on his thigh and ever so subtly caressing his inner thigh.
Yami smiled at Seto slowly growing arousal, �Hm, I�ll go next� Yami said, spinning the bottle and rolling the dice.
The bottle landed on Yugi and the dice read �nibble� and �nipples�. Yami smiled, he�ll show Seto just what he can do. Yami and Yugi stood, Yami slowly lifting Yugi�s shirt. Yami gently placed his lips on Yugi�s left nipple, running his lips across the skin and breathing his hot breath, causing the nipple to harden. Yami then nipped at it with his teeth carefully, causing Yugi to gasp, then he just stopped, leaving Yugi painfully hard. He sat back down and noticed Seto�s own manhood about to explode from his pants.
�Your turn� Yami whispered in Seto�s ear, sending chills down his spine.
Seto spun the bottle and rolled the dice. The bottle landed on Mai and the dice read �suck� and �neck�.
�Yes! Ha! All of you eat your heart out!� Mai said in victory and walked over to Seto and sat in his lap, Yami wishing he could just blow her mind away.
�Well, hun?� Mai smiled at Seto.
Seto sighed and moved Mai�s hair back carefully, her silk tresses falling perfectly along her back and shoulder. Seto brung her close to him and tilted her head gently and placed his warm lips on her inviting neck. First he gave a small kiss, then licked the same spot like a cat would its fur. He then moved her closer, Mai putting her arms around his neck and moved so his hardened member was right *underneath* her. Seto sucked on her neck expertly while running a hand up her thigh. Mai moaned, pressing her firm breasts against Seto. Seto bit the skin just a bit, hard enough to leave teeth marks and sucked just a bit harder. Mai ran a hand through Seto�s hair and kissed his forehead. Suddenly Seto just stopped.
�Ok� Seto said, looking up at Mai.
�Huh?� Mai asked.
Everyone else just stared in awe at Seto, all but Tristan, Mokuba, and Ryou very horny.
�You can go back to your seat now� Yami growled.
�Fine, you�re just jealous� Mai teased the pharaoh.
�We�ll see who ends up jealous� Yami narrowed his eyes.
Ryou stood and walked out of the room and quickly too, anger on his face.
�What�s with him?� Tristan asked.
�He never likes to have fun� Joey shrugged.
�Ryou, wait� Seto stood.
�Let him go� Yami said, holding onto Seto�s wrist.
�No, now let go of me� Seto said, yanking his arm back.
Seto ran out of the den and went upstairs. He walked passed a room, a loud banging being heard.
�Beg, bitch!� Seto heard Bakura yell.
�Do it, Malik, or I�ll get the whip that actually hurts!� Marik laughed.
//He�s not in that room// Seto reasoned, walking on. He then reached a room towards the end of the hallway and knocked at the door.
�Ryou? Are in there?� Seto asked.
Seto heard a sniff, �Who is it?� he heard Ryou�s sweet voice ask.
�It�s Seto, may I come in?� Seto asked.
�I guess� Ryou said.
Seto opened the door and closed it behind him. He found Ryou sitting on his bed hugging a pillow, tears in his eyes. Seto sat down next to him.
�What�s wrong?� Seto asked.
�Nothing� Ryou tried to smile.
�If there�s one thing I don�t like, it�s being lied to, Ryou� Seto said sternly, wiping a tear away.
�I�m sorry. It�s just that I�m not like the others, I guess. I just don�t fit in and the only reason they�re at my house it because it�s biggest besides yours and Bakura tells them they can. I don�t really mind, but�I know they�re my friends, but I don�t think they realize they hurt my feelings be excluding me� Ryou said, more tears falling down his face.
�I know what it�s like to be alone, Ryou. I know it hurts and you wonder why you are alone� Seto felt his own dark feelings returning. �You changed that, though� Seto moved closer to Ryou, putting an arm around him.
�I did?� Ryou asked.
�Yes, you�re not like the others. You�re�pure. You�re yourself I guess is what I meant. You�re very intelligent, I find you funny, you are very kind, you mind your own business, your nice to talk to, I mean, you actually listen, and�� Seto looked into Ryou�s big hazel eyes, �you�re very attractive� Seto smiled.
Ryou stared at Seto in shock, �No one�s ever said that to me before� Ryou felt more tears fall down his face.
�Well, I meant it. Please, Ryou, stop crying� Seto whispered, kissing a tear that just fell on Ryou�s cheek.
�Seto�� Ryou whispered.
Seto moved to Ryou�s lips, kissing them softly. Ryou�s lips were so warm, so giving. Seto ever so slowly deepened the kiss, finally slipping his tongue into Ryou�s sweet mouth. Ryou moaned just slightly, putting his arms around Seto�s waist. Seto ran a hand through Ryou�s silver hair. Then it was Ryou who added more passion to the kiss, moving his mouth faster, his tongue going deeper. He could smell Seto�s body all over him and he wanted more. Seto moaned loudly into Ryou�s mouth, pushing the other boy onto his back on the bed, Seto now laying on top of him.
�Mmmm� Ryou broke the kiss.
�What�s the matter?� Seto panted, his manhood burning between his legs for release.
�I�I want this, I do, but�I just can�t, not yet� Ryou said apologetically.
Seto sighed, �I understand, its ok. I�I love you, Ryou, I want to do whatever makes you happy� Seto kissed Ryou�s forehead and smiled.
�Just stay with me tonight� Ryou asked, starring deeply into Seto�s dark blue eyes.
�Ok� Seto whispered, moving to Ryou�s side and wrapping his arms around the other boy.
�Thank you� Ryou whispered, �and, I love you too� Ryou smiled, snuggling close to Seto.
Back at the den�
�I cannot believe he went after Ryou� Duke pouted.
�Maybe we were trying too hard?� Yugi offered.
�Naaa� Joey shook his head.
�I don�t really care, honestly, I didn�t like him that much, I just thought he was cute� Tea shrugged, looking at Tristan.
�What?� Tristan asked.
�Wanna go out?� Tea asked, smiling.
�I just love being your second choice� Tristan said sarcastically.
�You�re the one that broke up with me!� Tea said, �I thought you didn�t like me so I went looking for someone else� Tea threw her hands up in frustration.
�I broke up with you because you were too much of a flirt� Tristan said like it was obvious.

�I�m sorry, ok? I didn�t know that, why didn�t you tell me� Tea asked.
�I thought you knew you were flirting with anything male that moves right in front of my face!� Tristan stood.
�Well if you were a better boyfriend maybe I wouldn�t have to flirt!� Tea shouted back.
�BETTER BOYFRIEND?!� Tristan echoed, a vein showing on his forehead, �Did you ever stop and think that maybe you�re impossible to be a boyfriend to?!�
�What are you saying?!� Tea put her hands on her hips.
�Get upstairs!� Tristan yelled.
�Make me!� Tea stuck her tongue out.
Tristan picked Tea up and put her over his shoulder and went upstairs.
�They�re weird� Yugi said after the two left.
�Yeah� Yami nodded, his eyebrow still raised.
�Should we continue the game?� Duke asked.
�What�s the point? We were playing it to find out which one of us Seto would chose, which was Ryou who didn�t even do�anything� Joey sat puzzled.
�Maybe that�s why� Yami sighed.
�I�m sorry, Yami, I think you liked him more than any of us here� Yugi gave Yami an apologetic look.
�It�s my fault, I don�t know what came over me. But apparently it wasn�t mean to be� Yami felt his eyes sting. �I�m just�gonna go now� Yami stood and left the room. The four heard the front door close.
�All of you were just trying to get to my brother?� Mokuba asked.
�Well, yeah, he�s quite a guy� Duke smiled.
�Whatever� Mokuba rolled his eyes.
�Well, I�m going to bed�with no action� Joey stood and stretched and left to go upstairs and find a room.
�I�ll go with you, Joey� Duke smiled.
Joey gave Duke a confused look.
�I never said I liked Seto, I might have lusted for him, but you�re hot too� Duke said taking Joey�s hand.
�Gee, thanks� Joey said, but went with Duke anyway.
�Slut� Yugi mumbled to himself.
�What about you, Yugi? Why were you interested in my brother?� Mokuba asked.
�I�well�� Yugi tried to think of a good answer.
�You don�t even know?� Mokuba asked.
�I can�t say� Yugi finally decided that was the best answer.
�Why not?� Mokuba persisted.
�Don�t worry about it, it�s late, we need to get to bed� Yugi said quickly and decided to walk home.
Mokuba sighed and just slept in the den.
Seto opened his eyes, the cloudy sky visible through the open curtains. Seto looked down to find Ryou snuggled close to him, still fast asleep. Seto smiled to himself, seeing Ryou next to him gave him such happiness. Seto looked at his watch, 9:58 am, good thing this Monday was a day off from school. However, it wasn�t a day off from the business world. Seto sat up, waking Ryou.
�What�s wrong?� Ryou yawned.

�Work! I�m late!� Seto jumped out of the bed, putting his shoes back on.
�Oh, I�m so sorry, it�s my fault, isn�t it?� Ryou said, getting out of the bed.
Seto stood and put his arms low on Ryou�s waist, �No, it�s not your fault. It�s ok, really, I just can�t let it happen often� Seto kissed Ryou then said goodbye.
Seto grabbed Mokuba and headed out the door calling his driver on his cell to pick him up half way.
The rest of the day Seto worked as usual, busier than ever and had missed two meetings by time he had gotten to the Corporation headquarters. Seto sat at his desk in his office at about six o�clock.
�Mr. Kaiba, you have a visitor� Seto�s secretary beeped in.
�Who is it?� Seto asked, typing away.
�He said he�s a special friend and needs to see you� the secretary explained.
Seto raised an eyebrow, �Whatever, send him in� Seto shrugged.
�He�s already in� Bakura smiled from a corner.
�How�d�?� Seto sat shocked.
�I love magick� Bakura smiled.
�What do you want?� Seto asked, going back to his typing.
�You may find this surprising, but I want to tell you the truth� Bakura walked around the desk and moved Seto in his chair away from the desk enough so he could sit on it.
�Excuse you� Seto narrowed his eyes, standing.
�Relax� Bakura smiled, �I know something, a secret� Bakura continued.
�What?� Seto asked.
�Do want to know why everyone really liked you, or at least�pretended to?� Bakura went on.
�Pretended to? What are you saying?� Seto asked, now listening more closely.
�Well, you see, my dear hikari had always liked you, it was no miracle of fate or whatever you�d like to think it to be, no, he is actually quite good friends with the likes of Yugi and his yami, and the others� Bakura smirked as if the devil himself.
�What�s your point?� Seto said, stepping closer to Bakura to hear better.
�Ryou didn�t know how to get you to like him, so he asked everyone else to pretend to lust after you and bother you to the point where you�d have to run into him and then he would be the one that was innocently not in love with you but end up in love with you, or rather, you with him. He wanted you, and knew how to do it� Bakura whispered.
Tears were in Seto�s eyes, not from sadness, but from anger, �Are you saying��
�He planned the whole thing to capture your heart� Bakura finished, �People always wonder why sweet Ryou has such a demonic deck, they think it�s because of me, but it is because he himself is a demon� Bakura stood and took Seto�s hand and kissed it, �I�m sorry� Bakura turned to leave.
�Why would you tell me this?� Seto asked, barely able to talk from all the emotions running through his body and brutally murdering his fragile heart.
Bakura stopped and turned, �Because I think the person that really loves you and would do anything for your happiness should have a fair shot at you�
�And who might that be?� Seto asked.
�Who else? Yami� Bakura shrugged and left.
�Yami?� Seto sat in his chair, this was too much. How was this possible, Ryou would never do such a thing. //That�s what I get for letting my guard down// Seto thought bitterly.
Thunder boomed loudly and rain began to poor, it had been cloudy all day and now of all times it finally decided to rain. Seto grabbed his car keys and walked out of the building.
A few moments later Seto stood in front of the Game Shop, rain pouring down on him, he knocked on the door.
�Yes?� Yami asked, then seen who it was, �Kaiba, come out of the rain� Yami said, moving aside so Seto could come in. �What brings you here?� Yami asked, closing the door.
�Where�s everyone else?� Seto asked.
�Oh, well, Solomon�s at Bingo Nite, and Yugi�s with Joey, why?� Yami asked, taking Seto�s wet rain coat.
�I came here for you� Seto said.
�What?� Yami asked, looking at Seto.
Seto didn�t explain, he quickly bent over and claimed Yami�s lips, the spirit relaxing into his arms.
Yami looked at Seto when the kiss was finally broken, �I don�t understand, I thought�� Yami was so confused.
�You thought wrong� Seto said simply.
Seto then picked Yami up into his arms and carried him to the couch, laying him down on his back and straddling him, kissing him once again. Yami deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around Seto�s neck.
Ryou walked up to the Game Shop, seeing a light on. He knocked on the door and waited. When no one answered, he thought perhaps Yugi was in his room or something and decided to walk in, he did it all the time. Ryou opened the door and heard a moan in the living room. Thinking Yugi might be in pain he ran to the room only to stop in shock. There in front of him was Yami on the couch with his boyfriend on top of him. The two looked up at Ryou, Yami quickly standing up.
�Ryou? What�s the matter?� Yami asked.
Tears came to Ryou�s eyes, the coat he was holding to return to Yugi falling to the floor, �What�s wrong? You dare to ask me what�s wrong? You�re making out with my boyfriend that�s what�s wrong!? Who do you think you are!� Ryou shouted for what Yami thought was the first time in his life.
�But, I thought�� Yami gave Seto a confused look.
Seto narrowed his eyes at Ryou, �You little�cheap�lying�whore!� Seto could barely talk at the rage he felt.
�What?!� Ryou cried.
�You know what I�m talking about! I can�t believe you, you were so different, guess I was wrong!� Seto yelled.
�What are you talking about?!� Ryou cried, tears falling like rivers down his face. �Seto, I loved you!� Ryou cried.
�Bull shit! You�re pathetic, Ryou, I wish when Marik got rid of you he had for good!� Seto yelled, walking out of the shop.
Ryou fell to his knees, crying into his hands.
�Why? Why is he doing this? Why is this happening?� Ryou cried, almost choking on his tears, unable to draw a breath because he was so upset.
Yami bent down next to Ryou, �Ryou, please calm down, you�re going to hurt yourself� Yami begged.
�What do you care?! I don�t care! Seto was right, I should�ve just died, I am pathetic!� Ryou ran out of the shop and into the rain.
Seto arrived home and stormed up to his room, slamming the door shut. He sat down at his desk.
�How can he act so innocent like he doesn�t know? Why to me? Do they all think this is funny? I should never had trusted any of them the slightest bit!� Seto shouted, standing and grabbing the edges of his desk, throwing it along with the computer and everything, and tossing it over with a crash. He then fell onto his bed on his stomach, grabbing a pillow and sobbing into it, why did it all have to hurt so much?
Ryou ran home and slammed the front door closed, once again falling to his feet, cold and drenched, he felt so alone. Ryou cried in the dark.
�Why does he hate me? Everyone seems to hate me� Ryou cried to himself.
�Not everyone� Ryou heard a familiar voice say from the shadows.
�Bakura?� Ryou looked around the house but couldn�t see a thing.
�Yes, aibou?� Bakura stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Ryou.
Ryou starred up at Bakura, his sad eyes begging to be comforted by the one person that should always be for him but wasn�t.
�That�s harsh, I�m here for you, Ryou� Bakura bent down in front of Ryou, �What happened?� Bakura asked softly.
�I�I don�t know, I went to return Yugi�s coat that he left from last night and�and when I got to the shop Seto was there with Yami and they were on the couch and Yami didn�t even think anything was wrong. And then Seto said I was a liar and that I was pathetic and that I should have died when Marik got rid of us�me, whatever� Ryou cried in frustration.

Bakura smiled mentally, �Shhhh, calm down� Bakura hugged Ryou close.
Seto felt a sharp pain in his chest and clutched at his heart with a loud groan. He curled up into a ball, the throbbing ache running through his body.
�Aaaaa�Mokuba!� Seto cried, �MOKUBA!� Seto yelled, his voice cracking, tears now being forced from his eyes from the pain.
Mokuba came running into his brother�s room, gasping at the smashed desk and his brother curled up on his bed, holding his chest tightly, sweating and crying in pain.
�Brother?!� Mokuba ran to the bed.
�Get�help� Seto managed.
Seto opened his eyes to see the familiar Dr. Barrette standing beside him.
�Oh, look, Mr. I-can-take-care-of-myself is awake, how are you feeling?� the doctor asked.
�Like shit� Seto grumbled.
�Didn�t I tell you to take it easy? You�re stress levels are out of this world, kid. Do you know what happened? You pretty much had a heart attack, not healthy for a fucking 16 year old, damn it� the doctor glared at Seto.
�I take it you�re mad?� Seto asked.
�Not at all� Dr. Barrette said sarcastically.
�Are you sure you don�t want to see a psychologist, or go to a spa, or something?� the doctor sighed.
�If it wasn�t for my brother, I wouldn�t want to live� Seto said, sitting up.
�Keep up whatever it is you�re doing and you won�t live. Seto, I�m telling you the truth� the doctor pleaded.
�For how long? How long would I have to �take it easy�? There are things to be done, Mokuba can not run the corporation yet. I�ll be fine� Seto crossed his arms in a pout, �Now when can I get out of here?�
�You can leave today, you�ll live� the doctor admitted, �you have some visitors� Dr. Barrette walked out of the room and told some people in the hallway they could come in.
Yami and Yugi came into the room and walked over to Seto.
�I see my crowd of admires has downsized� Seto said bitterly, and also sad that Ryou wasn�t there. He knew he shouldn�t feel anything for that little punk, but he couldn�t help it, he really did fall in love with him.
�Are you going to be ok?� Yugi asked.
�Yeah� Seto said, almost disappointed.
�You really hurt Ryou, you know� Yami said.
�Yami, he doesn�t need to hear this now� Yugi scolded in a whisper.
�Why did you do that?� Yami continued, ignoring his light.
�Do what? You know what he did to me� Seto said.
�No I don�t, neither one of us know what you�re talking about� Yami crossed his arms.
�Yes you do, Bakura told me� Seto snapped.
�Bakura? What did he say?� Yugi asked.
�He told me Ryou�s little plan. That he got all of you to pretend to like me so I�d fall for him because he�d be the only one not interested in me� Seto explained in the short version.
Yami rolled his eyes, �And you listened? Seto, I promise you Ryou did no such thing. Bakura must have created his own plans, the question is why?�
�And why should I believe you? Bakura�s little �lie� makes more sense than six people wanting me all at once� Seto said a bit hurt at his own words.
�That�s not true, Seto, we all found you to be an amazing person, well, most of us�Duke doesn�t count, he�s just horny� Yami smiled when he seen Seto almost smile at the comment. �Do you really love Ryou?� Yami asked, becoming serious.
�Yes� Seto nodded.
�Then go apologize to him and tell him you love him and hope to Ra that he accepts you back� Yami advised.
�Then kill Bakura?� Seto said.
�No, but I�d ask him why he told you what he did, for all we know he could just be playing games for sheer entertainment� Yugi shook his head.
�Yeah, he�d do that� Yami agreed.
�I�m still going to kill him� Seto said, getting out of the bed, he then looked at Yami, �I�m sorry� Seto apologized.
�It�s ok� Yami said quickly, forcing the tears to stay behind his eyes.
Seto nodded and ran out of the room.
�You really love him, don�t you?� Yugi asked the spirit.
�Yes�have you told�� Yami started to ask, but Yugi cut him off.
�No, I haven�t� Yugi looked away.
�Why not? You love him, don�t you?� Yami asked.
�It�s not that simple� Yugi looked up at his yami.
�Yes, it is, go tell him� Yami smiled.
Yugi hugged Yami tightly, �I�m sorry, Yami. I hate how you�re always alone! It�s so sad, you�d give your life to save the world and yet you end up alone. You don�t deserve it, you deserve to be in love too� Yugi cried.
Yami smiled and put his arms around Yugi, �Aibou, I will always have you, I�m not alone. One day maybe I will fall in love, but if I don�t, that�s ok� Yami kissed Yugi�s forehead.
Yugi found himself in front of the Kaiba mansion waiting for someone to answer the door. //I can�t believe I�m doing this// Yugi thought, the door opening.
�May I help you young sir?� the butler asked.
�Yes, um, I need to speak with Mokuba?� Yugi asked.
�Please follow me� the butler said, turning and walking inside the house, a maid closing the door behind them.
Yugi had been to the mansion once before, but he was still amazed.
�Wait here� the butler said, stopping in the living room, Yugi running into the back of him because he was too busy looking around.
�Oh, I�m sorry� Yugi smiled nervously.
�Hnn� the butler walked out of the room.
Yugi sat down on the black leather couch and looked around the room. It was amazing with the latest technological things you could have in such a room. The entertainment center was something to be worshiped, with an uncountable number of DVDs and games, all that Kaiba invented, and then twice as many Cds and MP3�s. There was a remote control on the end table for everything in the room, including the entertainment center, the lights, and whatever else it did, Yugi didn�t dare touch it. Yugi looked at the picture beside the remote, it was of Seto and Mokuba, and it looked recent, at least taken within the past six months. It looked like they were in a bed, the covers all messed up and both were smiling, or laughing and there were feathers everywhere like that had had a pillow fight and now Seto was tickling Mokuba to win. Yugi smiled at the two, especially the look on their faces�genuine happiness.
�You wanted to see me?� Mokuba asked, startling Yugi from his thoughts.
�Yeah, sit down� Yugi smiled.
�K�� Mokuba plopped down on the cushion next to Yugi, �So, what�s up?� Mokuba smiled.
�Well, remember how I said that I didn�t really like your brother, I just pretended because of another reason?� Yugi asked, so nervous he thought he may throw up.
�Yeah?� Mokuba nodded.
�Well, that other reason was�� Yugi looked at Mokuba, he just couldn�t do it, what would other people think? Mokuba�s only 13 years old, and he just turned 13 a few months ago, and Yugi was going to be 17 soon, in about 5 months.
�Just say it, Yugi, it can�t be that bad� Mokuba encouraged.

�The other reason was you, I wanted to be closer to you but I was�I guess I was too shy to just say something� Yugi confessed, looking down at the floor.
�Really? You like me?� Mokuba asked, a big grin on his face.
�Yeah, I do, and I had to tell you, it was only fair� Yugi sighed.
Mokuba took Yugi�s hand, �I like you too, Yugi.�
Yugi looked up at Mokuba shocked, �You do? Why?� Yugi thought aloud.
�Cause you�re fun to be around, you�re obsessed with games like me, and you�re cute� Mokuba giggled.
�Does Seto know you�re�� Yugi asked, somewhat surprised that Mokuba was already thinking about such things.
�Please, Yugi, I�m 13, I�m not a naïve little 5 year old anymore. No, he doesn�t, but I�m not gay, I�m bi� Mokuba smiled.
�I know you�re not five, but you are younger than me, but I don�t want that to stop me, not anymore, I want to try and have a relationship with you� Yugi squeezed Mokuba�s hand.
�I�d like that very much� Mokuba whispered.
Yugi leaned forward and captured Mokuba�s lips with his, the electric feeling running through his whole body, he had wanted to do this forever.
Seto ran as fast as he could from the hospital to Ryou�s house, the sun setting quickly. His chest hurt so much, every muscle in his body aching, but he had to reach Ryou. Seto finally came to the house and ran inside, not bothering to knock.
�Ryou?! Ryou, where are you?!� Seto called.
�Ryou doesn�t want to see you� Bakura said from the shadows.
�And do be quiet, Malik is trying to sleep� Marik said, coming out of another group of shadows.
�Bakura, you lied to me, I should kill you� Seto said through gritted teeth, fists clenched.
�Good luck trying� Bakura narrowed his eyes.
�Why did you lie to me?� Seto asked.
�I have my reasons� Bakura shrugged.
�Tell me� Seto demanded.
�Why should we?� Marik chuckled.
�Fuck this�Ryou?!� Seto ran up the stairs and ran into Ryou�s room to find he wasn�t there. Seto then tried the next door, gasping at what he saw.
Malik lay in a bed, bruises and cuts all over his body, and rope burns on his wrists and what looked to be whip lashes across his chest. He looked like he was sleeping, but that ever breath he took was painful.
�What is this?! What happened to him!� Seto demanded of the two spirits that just joined him in the hallway.
�Nnnn�� Malik mumbled, his tired eyes opening slowly.
�Awww, now you�ve gone and woken him up� Marik crossed his arms in a pout.
Malik stumbled out of his bed and to the hallway where he supported himself against the wall, �Bakura, Marik, what�s going on?� he asked in a low, tired voice.
�Go back to bed and rest, fool� Marik snapped.
�Seto here wants to know where Ryou is� Bakura answered, crossing his arms.
Seto stared at the two spirits, wondering what exactly the two psychos were planning. Malik suddenly collapsed into Marik�s arms, no longer having the strength to stand. Suddenly everyone heard a toilet flush and water from a sink start to run. Ryou soon emerged from the bathroom, stopping in his tracks at everyone starring at him in the hallway, then he seen Seto.
�What do you want?� Ryou asked softly.
�Ryou, I came to apologize, I should have listened to you, I should have believed you. I want you in my life, forever, I�I�m in love with you� Seto confessed, his eyes begging Ryou to forgive him.
�Why did you say what you did to me? And why were you with Yami?� Ryou asked, tears burning his eyes.
�Bakura told me that you told everyone to like me so I�d end up falling for you, that you planned it all and that Yami went along with it because he truly loved me and wanted me to be happy, so I went to him, hoping to find his true love� Seto explained.
�You actually think I�d do something like that?� Ryou asked, walking closer to Seto.
�I�m sorry Ryou, it was my fault. It didn�t make sense to me for everyone to like me so Bakura�s story made more sense, please, Ryou, I�m so very sorry� Seto felt a tear fall down his cheek, he was so afraid Ryou would hate him now.
�I�m sorry, too, I love you, Seto, there�s nothing to forgive, you did nothing wrong� Ryou smiled, wiping Seto�s tear away. He then looked at Bakura, �Bakura, how could you?!� Ryou scolded.
�What?! I was just messin�, it was Marik�s idea!� Bakura laughed.
�Was not you buffoon! How dare you blame me for your stupid tricks!� Marik snapped.
�You laughed, didn�t you?!� Bakura smirked.
�If you guys are gonna fight, I suggest putting Malik back in bed� Ryou sighed.
�Fine� Marik growled, walking halfway into Malik�s room and tossing him onto the bed, then he came back out into the hall, �I�m going to rip your heart out with my teeth, tomb robber!� Marik screamed, running after Bakura.
�Not before I stab your eyes out with a spoon and bite off your tongue!� Bakura laughed, running downstairs.
�Is that their foreplay?� Seto asked.
�Something like that� Ryou chuckled.

�What�d they do to Malik?� Seto asked, looking at the teenager who seemed to be in pain with every breath.
�Honestly, they were too rough with him too many times, it happens often, he lasts about a week and then he ends up like this, so hurt that he has to stay in bed and one of them or myself nurse him back to health enough for him to be part of their torture sessions, they call it making love� Ryou explained, feeling sympathy for the other boy.
�He looks in real bad shape� Seto said, concerned.
�He says he likes it, that he doesn�t mind at all and that Bakura and Marik love him� Ryou shrugged.
�Well, I suppose if he�s happy� Seto said, still confused, �Let�s go back to my place� Seto said, turning towards Ryou.
Ryou took Seto�s hand, �Ok� he smiled.
Seto and Ryou walked back to Seto�s mansion hand in hand, talking and laughing with each other the whole way, just enjoying being with each other. Seto opened the front door, the two walking in quietly and going upstairs.
�I just want to check and see if Mokuba�s in bed or if he�s goofing off, he does have school tomorrow� Seto whispered.
�So do we� Ryou smiled.
�That�s different� Seto shrugged.
Seto quietly opened Mokuba�s bedroom door and stood in shock. Mokuba and Yugi were sleeping in each other�s arms and they both looked naked! Seto was about to go ballistic when Ryou put a hand over his mouth.
�Shhhh�It�s done, they�re obviously in love� Ryou whispered.
�But�anyone but Yugi� Seto whined.
�Come� Ryou took Seto�s hand and shut Mokuba�s door, and lead Seto to the CEO�s bedroom. Once inside Ryou closed the door and faced Seto, putting his arms around his lover�s neck, �Make love to me, Seto, I�m ready now� Ryou whispered, kissing Seto passionately.
