Chapter 21

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next morning the group was sent off just before dawn. They had a LOT of ground to cover in very LITTLE time.

Strigoi and Geist were tied behind the black and gold carriage, which Mikado and Bakura would ride in, to sleep away the journey to the ship. Ahmose rode quietly on Nakhti, the vampire blood having healed his back and head almost completely. Marik trotted along beside the carriage, while Ryou rode with Malik on the driver's seat of the carriage, and Yami lounged on the roof of the carriage. The group watched quietly as Mikado stood on the steps of the Vatican before the High Council, receiving final instructions.

"Go to the Ball... observe Seto." Pegasus said calmly. "You're to see what his plans are, and send a pigeon to us immediately."

Mikado sighed and nodded. "What... what if he recognizes me?" He asked.

"He wont." Pegasus said smiling. "Just keep your eyes and ears open."

Mikado frowned. "You're sure?"

"Positive."

Yami yawned and pulled the blankets he'd been provided over himself. The roof was snowless (thankfully) and he'd made it into almost a nest. "Mmm. You'll be fine. Bakura'll protect you."

Mikado blushed slightly, glancing back at Yami. "Uhh..."

Yami chuckled and flicked his tail. "Lets get goin?"

Mikado sighed and looked back at the Council, looking quite nervous. "Anything else, sirs?"

"Yes. What was the vampire's condition for taking you to the Christmas Ball?" Dartz asked, and the other Councilmen perked up in amused interest, as this subject made Mikado a bit... flustered.

Bakura snickered. "Nothing you need worry on."

Dartz snickered. "As his superiors, I think we should know all of the details."

Bakura smirked at Mikado and climbed into the carriage. "Don’t take too long, the sun's rising."

Mikado gave him a look. "You suck!"

"Yes I do!" Bakura called out. "And don’t MAKE me teach you again about having a snotty mouth."

Mikado's eyes widened and he flushed, shutting his mouth quickly. Dartz raised his eyebrows and looked back at his fellow Councilmen.

"Maybe this vampire is doing us a favor with Mikado... I've never seen him shut up so fast!"

Bakura snickered. "He just knows that I keep my word. Now hurry up and tell them or I'll have to teach you EXACTLY how much I can suck." Bakura called impatiently.

Yami snickered softly.

"I have to tell them?!" Mikado cried, looking horrified.

"One....TWO..." Bakura called loudly.

"Oh, come ON!!!" Mikado howled.

"If I get to three you're getting a spank for every letter in EVERY word I have to say explaining it for you!"

Mikado's eyes widened even more. "BAKURA'S MAKING ME GO AS A GIRL AND I HAVE TO WEAR A DRESS!!!" He wailed.

Yami burst into giggles and flopped back against the top of the carriage.

"Now get in here! It's nearly dawn!" Bakura bellowed, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice.

Ryou had to hide a smile behind a sleeve. A girl....

Ahmose just stared at his brother in horror. He had still been recovering from the whole spanking threat when Mikado blurted that out, and was now standing before the Council.

"Well... not only is the vampire teaching him discipline..." Dartz snorted, trying not to laugh. "... But he's teaching him humility as well!!!"

Pegasus snorted in amusement, trying to hide his own chuckles. "Perhaps this vampire will do him more good than harm."

"Mikado! I'm not coming out in the sun to save you from burning!" Bakura called.

Mikado glared at Bakura. "I hate you." He snapped, refusing to look at the Council, too embarrassed.

Bakura chuckled.

"Go on Mikado and join him before he spanks you." Pegasus chuckled. "The sun is rising."

Mikado flushed and turned, hurrying down the stairs, only to have his feet fly out from under him on the same patch of ice that had gotten the best of Ahmose two days ago.

"OH SHIT!!!" He landed heavily on the stairs. ".... Owww..."

Bakura sighed and climbed out of the carriage to pick up Mikado and nuzzle him, carrying him back in. "Stop hurting yourself on the ice and come sleep." he purred.

”… I hate ice…” Mikado groaned, even MORE embarrassed… First Bakura threatens to spank him, in front of the Council, then he had to confess that he would be cross dressing to the Vampire Ball, THEN he slipped on the ice, again, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COUNCIL!!!

”… Life sucks.” Mikado grumbled, rubbing the back of his head, which had quite a bump on it. “Ahh… owwww…”

Bakura chuckled and stooped, kissing Mikado to silence him as he climbed back into the carriage.

Otogi stumbled out. "Mikado!" he called waving. "Mikado! Good luck!"

Mikado blinked and looked back, then began wiggling around in Bakura's arms, getting loose and jumping out of the carriage and running to Otogi, hugging him tightly.

Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Mikado..." Otogi hugged him back. "You be careful!" he said grinning. "And when you get back, we'll throw a party ok?" he handed Mikado a small box. "I got you a new cross...but you might wanna leave it in the box..."

Mikado blinked, then smiled. "Yeah... probably should... but I would LOVE to wear it, if I could... I miss my cross..." He sighed, reaching up and rubbing his chest where the cross would be.

Otogi grinned. "Yeah...but at least you have one now." He said. "It's real pretty too. I picked it up on my last assignment. I was gonna give it to you for Christmas, but you'll be gone." he blushed a bit. "So you can have it now."

Mikado smiled. "Thanks... I hope to be home by Christmas, but... it depends on whether or not the winds are with us... but I won't go very far if I burn to a pile of ash, so... bye..." He hugged Otogi again and went back to the carriage, glancing at the eastern sky. He climbed in and waved to Otogi, then shut the door.

"Good luck Mikado!" Otogi called loudly once more. "Come back with lots of stories to tell!"

Bakura rolled his eyes and made sure the door was secure before pulling the curtains in front of the windows and door. "You're pushing your luck with the sun Mikado." he said calmly pulling the youth over to check his head for bumps as the carriage began to move.

"I wanted to say goodbye. He's my best friend." Mikado said. Ahmose rode up and around the carriage, making sure that everything was well covered. Once he was satisfied that his brother was safe (can we say 'over protective'?) he knocked on the roof.

Thump thump. Mikado, without blinking an eye, banged back. Thump. Ahmose guided Nakhti to lead the way as Malik got the four geldings moving (the Vatican had decided that with three young eager stallions, being Nakhti, Strigoi and Geist, mares should be avoided so they wouldn't return with four pregnant horses).

Bakura smiled, satisfied when he found no bumps. "Be more careful." He whispered and pushed the seating back. He'd worked on the carriage extensively before they'd left the thief village. The interior was much larger when the seat was pushed as far back as he could push. He'd detached the wooden seating. He'd also padded the floor. "Sleepy?" he cooed kissing Mikado's forehead.

Mikado blinked. "Nope." He said. "... I'm hungry."

Bakura laughed at that and took off his coat, pulling down some blankets from the storage. "Alright, but not until we're laying down and situated." he said calmly beginning to turn the floor into a quite comfy bed.

Mikado removed the cloak and jacket of his Agent's uniform, which had been returned to him, along with his Second Class Journeyman shoulder knot. He took off his belt and removed his weapons, then wrestled his boots off.

Once Bakura had made the bed, he also removed his boots and other 'fancies'. "I still hate that atrocious agent uniform." he snorted.

"Why?" Mikado asked. "I think I look good in it! Makes me look important."

"But you don’t need to 'look' important." Bakura said calmly, pulling down two pillows he'd 'stolen' from the Vatican's beds. "You ARE important..."

Mikado smiled. "I like looking important. Come on... I look sexy in it."

Bakura smirked. "No..." He said calmly, suddenly lunging forward and pulling away Mikado's top a hand slipping into his pants. "You look sexy in nothing..." he hissed.

"Oh shit!" Mikado squeaked, eyes wide. "Bakuraaaaa!!!"

Bakura kissed him suddenly and forced him to lay down. "You had quite an attitude at me..." he said huskily. "Should I punish you for it?"

"A-A-Attitude?" Mikado asked, all wide eyed and innocent.

Bakura raised an eyebrow. "Oh dont you give me that look. Not when you have sex with me. I dont buy it." and he began pumping Mikado's length, with the hand in his pants.

Mikado gasped and moaned, flopping down. "Stop being mean to meeeeee!!!"

"Mean?" Bakura asked giving him a smirk. "You've never seen mean...I can show you mean..."

Mikado's eyes widened. "What?! No! That's okay!"

Bakura laughed wickedly. "Oh no no...You OBVIOUSLY have never seen mean." He said continuing his naughty actions on the southern hemisphere...his free hand pulling Mikado up by the collar. "You're going to see mean now, little Mikado..."

Mikado gasped as he stared at Bakura, their faces only inches apart. He found himself unable to look away from the red glow in Bakura's eyes.

Bakura smirked and stooped, suddenly (though gently) biting Mikado's neck. The spike of near orgasmic pleasure that followed surged through Mikado with amazing force. So THIS is why Vampires chose vampire lovers...

"Christ!" Mikado gasped. "And I thought this was hot when I was human..." He moaned, shivering and clinging to Bakura.

Bakura chuckled licking the wound closed after a small drink, trailing kisses down over Mikado's chest. He worked away Mikado's pants easily, taking another blindingly hot bite of Mikado during this, sending those same surges through Mikado that he'd gotten from the first bite.

Mikado squirmed, moaning as he felt Bakura's lips on his stomach, his fangs in his flesh. "B-Bakura..." Mikado moaned.

Once again Bakura barely fed at all and closed the wound, cutting the euphoria short. He traveled lower, ignoring Mikado's now aching arousal and going for his inner thigh, biting down once more.

Mikado threw his head back with a groan, spreading his legs and squirming. "Oh God... Bakura..." He gasped. On the roof, Yami perked up.

Yami's tail was lashing as he looked around. "Ohhh..."

Ryou and Malik glanced at him, but other than that, ignored the eccentric demon.

However inside, things had escalated. Bakura was preparing his lover as he fed. He was careful not to overfeed, as Mikado was a young fledgling, but from his moans he could tell he was fine.

"B-Bakuraaa... ‘I'm hungry’ does not mean feed off of meeeee!!!" Mikado whined, just for the sake of bitching.

To that he met a harsh slap on the ass, followed by apologetic groping.

"Ow! Heyyyyy..." He whined, squirming. "Jerk..."

Bakura smirked licking the wound closed, switching to going down on Mikado's length, sucking harshly.

Yami looked like a Cheshire cat.

"FUCK!!!" Mikado shouted, and the two elves sitting at the driver's seat slowly turned and looked at each other, both with looks on their faces that said 'please tell me I didn't hear that... You heard it too? Well shit...'

Yami snickered. "Someone's getting fuuuuuuuucked." he sang. And it was true. Moments later… the carriage began to rock.

Malik and Ryou's eyes widened and Ryou flushed. Marik, trotting behind the carriage, laid his ears back and whined a bit. Ahmose didn't notice. And that was probably a good thing.

Of course, Yami couldn't allow that good thing to last. "Hey Ahmose...Bakura's doing horrible things to your brother." he called snickering.

Ahmose blinked and looked back over his shoulder. "What?" He asked.

Yami smirked broadly. "He's fucking him."

"WHAT?!" Ahmose howled, wheeling Nakhti around, making the horse squeal in irritation.

Yami laughed, tail lashing. "They're fucking. Right NOW."

"BAKURA!!!" Ahmose roared, riding over and banging on the door of the carriage. "STOP IT!!!"

Bakura snickered, striking Mikado's prostate. He'd already gotten down to business, and he doubted Mikado cared anymore than he did at the shouting brother. "Shut up!"

"Ah! God! Ahmose, go awayyyyyy!!!" Mikado whined.

Yami burst into laughter. "Uh oh, baby brother's getting fucked and Ahmose can’t stop it!"

"Like Hell I can't!" Ahmose shouted, eyes glowing. Marik blinked, then darted around the carriage and seized a mouthful of Ahmose's cloak and JERKED!

"SHIT!!!" Ahmose yelped, toppling out of the saddle and into a snow drift. Marik quickly ran circles around him, getting him tangled in his own cloak, and then just bounced around him, yapping. "MARIK!!!"

Yami laughed more and hopped down from the roof and nuzzled Ahmose. "Calm down Ahmose." he purred. "He loves Bakura...."

Ahmose growled, trying to fight his way out of his cloak while Ryou and Malik laughed at him.

Yami wrapped his wings around Ahmose and held him tightly in place. "CALM down!"

Ahmose growled and thrashed and pitched a bit more, but finally began to calm.

Yami nuzzled him again. "Breathe..." he whispered curling his tail around Ahmose's waist. "It's just like us. He's a big boy. He can handle himself."

"He's a KID!!!" Ahmose protested as the carriage went around the bend in the road. Nakhti snorted and stomped, watching Yami and Ahmose.

"It's his choice!" Yami laughed. "According to my age I'm a kid too, does that mean I shouldn't stay with you?"

Ahmose blinked, and scowled.

"Well?" Yami asked giving Ahmose a look.

"Well what?!"

"Does being a kid make it not his choice? Because if it does, then I fall under that category too." Yami snorted.

"Yami, no matter WHAT your people say, you are NOT a kid." Ahmose said, rolling his eyes.

"By Incubus standards I am." He laughed and kissed Ahmose. "And by human standards...aren't you still a kid too?"

"... No. I'm twenty." Ahmose said.

Yami grinned. "Then lets get drunk."

"... What?"

"When we get where we're goin, lets get drunk!" Yami said again. "Adult humans drink."

Ahmose snorted. "Let's just worry about getting where we're going, hm?"

Yami nodded and helped Ahmose up. "Let your brother have some fun." he purred.

Ahmose growled and seized Nakhti's reins, mounting the horse. "Come on. We're getting left behind."

Yami nodded and hopped on, nuzzling Ahmose and wrapping his wings around him. It was just like old times.

Ahmose smiled and kicked Nakhti, going after the carriage.

The traveling went along rather quickly after that, and despite the length of their travels, it was interesting.

They would near the port town soon, and Yami had decided to ride along with Ahmose once more, nuzzled up to his lover, though he seemed to be distracted in the snowy wood.

The sun was beginning to go down, so the vampires would soon be awakening, and Mikado would soon be whining, wanting to be fed. Marik was in his halfway form, curled up on the top of the carriage. Ryou was leaning back, absently rubbing his ears. Strigoi and Geist seemed to be sleep walking.

Yami perked suddenly, looking around, tail lashing like a cat that'd spotted a mouse.

"Hey... what's that?" Ahmose heard Malik say. "Do you see that?" The elf was asking his little half elf companion. "That light... there..."

Ryou didn't have time to react however. Yami had dove off of Nahkti and onto it. "HA!" he howled proudly. "I GOTCHA!"

Ahmose jumped and yelped, Nakhti whinnied and reared back, bucking slightly, and Strigoi and Geist neighed and pranced nervously, trying to see what was going on. The Vatican horses all turned to see what the hell was going on, as did the werewolf, elf, and half elf. Ahmose blinked and looked down at Yami on the ground.

"Yami! What the HELL are you doing?!"

Yami grinned proudly and stood his hands cupped together, as if he'd trapped something. "I caught him."

Everyone stared at him, and then, in unison, all chorused "What?"

"I caught him." Yami said again moving his hands around as if trying to keep hold of his prey. A moment later he thrust his fist into Ahmose's face. He had caught a pixie.

"Eep!" Squeaked the pixie, who found itself staring into narrow golden eyes that were... kind of creepy. It blinked large wide eyes. "Um..."

Ahmose blinked. "Uh..."

Yami grinned. "Say hi." he said calmly. "He's a friend."

Ahmose blinked. "... He is?"

"Whatcha got there?" Marik asked.

"A pixie fairy." Yami answered grinning. "He's a friend of mine."

"... A pixie." Ahmose said, blinking at the thing that was still in his face.

"Um... hi." The little thing said with a nervous smile.

"Pixie fairy." Yami said once more. "His name's Yugi. Isn't he funny?"

"Yami, let the poor thing go." Ahmose said, rolling his eyes. The pixie turned and smirked at Yami.

"You FINALLY caught me! Took you long enough! What, a year and a half? That's a new record. A new BAD record! And I thought the three months one was bad!" The pixie teased.

Yami snorted. "I got distracted by yellow-eyes-slender-hips-nice-ass-and-virgin" Yami said proudly.

Everyone turned and looked at Ahmose, whose eyes widened and face turned dark red.

"Ain’t he hot?" Yami said grinning. "He's my chosen. And can you believe mom approved?!"

"Are you serious?! Your MOM?!" The pixie gasped.

Yami nodded. "I know!" He said proudly. "And he's half vampire! He did it just for me! Isn't he the best chosen ever?"

"Wow... and he IS hot." Yugi said. "Can you let go of me now?

"Alright...but don’t go flying off yet. Stick around for a while. We're traveling to stop some bad guy." Yami said letting Yugi go and climbing back on Nahkti, cuddling up to Ahmose.

The little pixie darted around, before settling on Yami's shoulder. "Who are the others?"

"Oh yeah." He turned. "That's coulda-been-better-but-I-smell-like-ass." he said pointing to Marik. "That's fallen-from-grace-priest-virgin" he added pointing to Ryou and grinning. "And that one's 'nice-assed-cocky-elf'. Oh yeah and inside the carriage is 'old-ass-vampire' and 'fucking-agent-being-fucked'."

"YAMI!!!" Everyone howled angrily, and Yugi raised an eyebrow, flitting off of Yami and landing on Ryou's shoulder (since he looked nice).

"Care to answer my question properly without insulting everyone?" He giggled.

Ryou blushed. "Oh... sure." he cooed. "That's Marik. I'm Ryou and that's Malik." he said politely.

"Okay! Nice to meet you all!" Yugi chirped, and giggled. "You're half elf!!!"

Ryou made a face. "hnn..."

"Elves are SOOOOO nice!!" And he hugged Ryou's ear. "I like you..."

Ryou blinked and sighed. "I'm not an elf."

"You're HALF elf." Yugi said in Ryou's ear.

"No." Ryou said calmly as everyone seemed to calm and regroup, beginning to travel once more. "I disowned it."

Yugi blinked. "You can't disown your blood." He said. "And why would you want to? The Elves are an ancient, wise, noble race."

"I hate them." Ryou said calmly. "I'd rather not discuss it. Why not talk about Marik, or Yami. How do you know Yami?"

Yugi frowned and sat down on Ryou's shoulder.

"Don't bother." Malik said. "The kid's the most stubborn little bitch when it comes to elves. He gets pissy just hearing the WORD 'elf'."

Ryou glared. "Watch your language."

"I'll say whatever I damn well want." Malik snapped. Marik whined.

Ryou glared more. "You're a prime example of why elves are assinine and evil and why I will NEVER accept them as part of me."

Yugi gasped, flitting off of Ryou and landing on Malik's shoulder, staring at the priest in horror. "... You don't know ANYTHING about elves, do you?!" He gasped.

"And I don’t care to." Ryou looked back to the horses. "So don’t tell me."

Yugi frowned and scooted closer to Malik, hugging HIS ear and staring at Ryou, sadly. "... I don't like you after all... you're mean... nothing at ALL like the elves..."

Ryou sighed. "I'd just as soon not be like them." he said calmly.

Marik whined sadly, laying his ears back, and Yugi frowned and pouted. "That's really sad..." He mumbled, and flitted off to Yami's shoulder again.

Yami chuckled. "See our little group of misfits?" he said yawning. "So, you were hiding all the way out here for that long?"

"Moving around." Yugi said with a shrug.

Yami grinned and turned and did something Yugi hated, nipped his wings gently. "I missed ya."

"NO!!! No no no no no noooooooooo!!! Don't DOOOOO that!" Yugi wailed, trying to beat Yami's nose into submission.

Yami laughed and let go tickling Yugi with the tip of his tail. "Miss me?"

"I'm starting to change my mind on that!" Yugi grumbled, trying to fend off the tail.

Yami laughed more. "Aww but you're teeny, I can’t help it. Do you like my chosen?"

"He's hot. You said he has a nice ass. HOW nice?"

"Excuse me?!" Ahmose blurted, eyes wide.

"Nice enough to keep me interested for a whole year... and still."

Yugi giggled. "Awwww..."

Yami grinned. "We're on our way to a Christmas ball."

"Ooooooh... Really? That's sounds fun! Can I come?" Yugi asked.

"Sure." Yami said nodding. "S'not like its a big deal. Besides you, haven't met either of the vampires."

Yugi's eyes widened. "You mean... there are REAL vampires in there?!" He squeaked, pointing at the carriage.

Yami nodded. "They're nice." he said calmly. "One of em's a Vatican agent."

"But... They're vampires!" The pixie squeaked. "I don't like vampires!!!"

"You'll like these ones I promise!" Yami said grinning.

"Noooooooo!!!" Yugi wailed, fluttering.

"Would I lie to you?" Yami asked pointedly.

Yugi frowned and eyed Yami. "...."

"Heheheh..." Ahmose chuckled.

"You don’t gotta stay, but if you go you can’t go to the ball."

Yugi blinked. "Awwwww... come onnnn..."

"It's up to the vampires." Yami said shrugging.

Yugi whined at that.

"Ah. Finally. There it is." Malik said.

"There what is?" Marik asked.

"I can see the coast." Malik explained.

"They should be waking any time now." Ahmose said, looking at the sky.

It was true; once the sun sank below the horizon, the door opened and Bakura stepped out stretching. "Travel is strenuous." he grumbled continuing to stretch.

Marik rolled his eyes. "Lazy ass vampire."

"Coming from a dog." Bakura said snorting. "Somehow I'm not all that insulted."

Marik snorted. "Screw you."

Bakura raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be doing that to Ryou? Oh wait... he doesn't want you."

Marik laid his ears back and growled, baring his teeth at the vampire.

Bakura chuckled. "If the boot fits..." he smirked.

"Bakura..." Mikado moaned sleepily from inside the carriage. "Don't be a jackass..."

"I'm not. I'm being honest. If that priest wanted him he'd have fucked him by now." Bakura snorted. "I'll go hunt for food."

Mikado glared. "You ARE being an ass... Stop it."

Bakura gave Mikado a look. "Watch what you say or I'll have to teach you another lesson." he sorted walking off.

"Bastard..." Mikado mumbled, pulling the blankets up over his head. Ahmose chuckled and trotted Nakhti up to the side of the carriage and closed the door to let his brother sleep a bit more.

Yami snickered. "Poor werewolf... I bet he's gonna go into heat soon..."

"Shhh..." Ahmose hissed, chuckling a bit.

"I heard that..." Marik growled.

Yami snickered more. "Isn't your mating season in the winter months?" he said teasingly. "Hope you have a pillow handy."

"Demon, I will rip off your balls if you don't shut the hell up..." Marik growled loudly.

Yami burst into giggles but said nothing more. Ryou only sighed. "Marik..."

"Still an ass, I see." Yugi said, pinching Yami's ear.

Yami snickered. "Only for the fuckless werewolf." he said flicking his tail. "Werewolves get all the bad luck."

Yugi rolled his eyes.

Yami snickered again. "You know what you should see? Ahmose naked."

"YAMI!!!!" Ahmose howled.

"What? Dare you deny how hot you are naked?" Yami asked raising an eyebrow.

"That's not what I'm protesting, I'm protesting you showing that OFF!!!" Ahmose cried.

Yami curled his tail around Ahmose's waist and sighing. "When you have a treasure you can’t help but gloat."

"Well, gloat alone without an audience." Ahmose snorted.

Yami snorted and nuzzled Ahmose.

Once they reached the town, they found that Bakura had already fed on someone or something... and that Lilith was there to meet them. "Hello!"

Ahmose blinked. "Who are you?"

Lillith curtsied. "I'm the lord's servant. He sent for me to meet him here for Master Mikado." She giggled.

The door of the carriage opened and Mikado poked his head out. "... what are you doing here?!"

Lilith grinned broadly. "Master Mikado!" she called eagerly. "I brought several dresses for you!" she said proudly. "The lord thought you'd need help dressing and doing your hair!"

Everyone turned and looked at Mikado, who groaned and disappeared into the carriage, slamming the door and locking it.

"C'mon Mikado we have to get everything on the boat tonight so we can leave before dawn!" Bakura called sternly. "Unless you want to go back a failure and a pile of ashes all at once!"

"... I HATE YOU!!!" Mikado shouted, and Ahmose grinned, chuckling.

"Don’t make me come in there and spank you for that!" Bakura called eagerly. "Because I will enjoy it! Immensely!"

There was a pause, and then a long whine.

"One...." Bakura called smirking. "Twooooo...."

"What?! What are you counting for?!" Mikado howled.

"How many swats you get!"

"NO!!! NO NO NO!!!" Mikado howled.

"Three! Four!" Bakura called. "If I were you I'd get out of the carriage!"

Mikado burst out, glaring. "If that's what you wanted, why didn't you SAY so?!"

"Because you have a brain, you should use it! " And suddenly Mikado was whipped over Bakura's knee for four good whoopings.

"AAH!!! HEY!!! BASTARD!!! STOP IT, DAMN YOU!!!" Mikado howled, thrashing.

Yami snickered and watched interestedly.

Soon the four spanks were over, and Bakura helped Mikado (and his VERY sore behind) up and kissed his forehead. "All better."

Mikado GLARED at him. "Speak for yourself.

Bakura smirked. "Well I brought you food, I assume you're well enough to eat."

"I'm hungry!" He announced immediately, the spankings forgotten. Ahmose raised an eyebrow.

Bakura chuckled. "I'll get us a room on board." He said taking Mikado's hand. "Come then Lilith." he cooed. "Lets get a decent room with a large bed... I've missed them."

Yami flicked his tail. "Oh! Oh, lets do that too!"

Ahmose rolled his eyes. "Yes Yami..." He said, guiding Nakhti after Bakura and Mikado. Marik sighed, changing to his wolf form again, resting his chin on his paws.

Ryou looked at Marik worriedly. "C'mon... lets get a room."

He perked up, looking at Ryou as if you say 'You... actually want to room with me?'

Ryou smiled climbing down to Marik and hoisting him up. "Lets hurry before the best rooms are taken." he cooed hurrying onboard the ship and below deck to the rooms.

Marik wiggled around, licking Ryou in the face. Of course, Bakura had already claimed the largest and most luxurious, and Yami scampered around to lay claim to a room while Ahmose looked into passage for Nakhti, Strigoi and Geist.

Ryou put Marik down. "Help! Before Yami finds OUR room!" he said hopefully.

Marik charged off, tripping Yami as he went. He darted into a room with a large bed and leapt onto it, curling up and panting happily.

Ryou giggled as Yami trotted to the next room claiming it. He went in with Marik and grinned. "Yay!" he cooed shutting the door. "Oh this is a nice one!" he said eagerly. "Good pick!"

Marik flopped onto his back and began wiggling around on the soft covers, kicking his feet, wagging his tail, and "talking".

"I can’t understand wolf..." Ryou said softly. "Change back!"

Marik instead leapt to his feet and tackled Ryou, licking his face.

Ryou giggled and shoved him off. "Eewwww wolf spit!" he giggled kissing Marik's forehead.

Marik barked and began tugging Ryou's robe, playfully.

Ryou giggled more and allowed Marik to tug before giddily slipping from it and darting away without.

Marik pranced around with Ryou's cloak proudly, tail up and wagging.

Ryou grinned. He'd locked the door for tonight...

"Nyaa nyaa!" he called eagerly.

Marik danced around, then darted under the bed with Ryou's cloak.

Though Ryou didn't make chase. No... Marik soon found a shirt tossed on the floor by the bed as well...

Marik froze and stared at the shirt, eyes wide, hoping, waiting, for something else to drop to the floor, too.

Ryou sat on the bed, and kicked off his boots blushing.

There was a soft growl from under the bed, and one of his boots disappeared quickly.

"Don’t tear up my boot Marik." Ryou warned. A moment later, pants dropped to the floor.

Those disappeared immediately.

Ryou blinked and giggled softly, leaning over to peer under the bed at Marik, his hair pooling on the floor. "What are you doing?"

"Hurrrrrr..." Marik growled playfully, wagging his tail and shaking Ryou's pants.

"Don’t tear them up, I'll need them in the morning." he cooed shaking his head. He pulled himself back up and shivered. "brrr..."

Marik popped out from under the bed at that and curled up around Ryou, his warm body and fur quite pleasant.

Ryou blushed and snuggled him, despite being quite nude.

Marik snuggled him back, licking his cheek and wagging his tail, before suddenly changing to his halfway form and cuddling Ryou in his lap.

Ryou smiled and kissed him. "It's cold... where do they keep the warmer blankets?" he cooed.

Marik looked around. "The wardrobe over there, probably." He said, tucking Ryou in and heading over to the wardrobe to get the blankets.

Ryou grinned. "Thank you." he said happily as Marik spread the blanket over him. He sighed and snuggled into the bed.

Marik smiled, stretching before climbing in with Ryou, still in his fur.

Ryou giggled. "You look more handsome human."

"But this is warmer." Marik chuckled.

Ryou turned to face him, and kissed him. "But I like the human better..."

Marik blinked, and was suddenly human. "That's a good reason."

Ryou grinned and nuzzled him. He sighed. "I...I've had a lot of time to think...and...even if it's a sin..." he blushed. "I adore you." He kissed Marik again. "And it's no better to sin and lie saying I dont.."

Marik smiled, and his tail wagged under the bed. He looked happier than Ryou had ever seen him before. "I love you..."

Ryou smiled. "I love you too..." he whispered. "A-and...I'm not going to hide from it anymore." he bit his lip. "If I lose my place as priest...then fine. I'll...always have you?"

"Forever and beyond..." Marik said softly, hugging Ryou close.

Ryou smiled brightly and clung to Marik, big tears in his eyes. "You're the most perfect person I've ever met..."

Marik blinked, then smiled and hugged Ryou tenderly. "Far from it, my love..." He whispered softly. "But I think YOU'RE perfect... Horrible vile evil Elven Blood and all..." He teased, winking.

Ryou grinned and kissed him. "For that, I'll always love you."

"What, because I love you even though you're part elf?" Marik asked, cocking his head.

Ryou sighed and nodded. "Yes."

Marik snorted. "You forget, Ryou. YOU are the one who sees being half elf as a bad thing... I always thought it was a good thing. And I think you're all the more beautiful for it..." And he kissed him gently. "I would love you if you were fully human... or fully elf..."

Ryou wrinkled his nose. "No thank you...I'm enough elf as is."

"I think you're the perfect amount of elf..." Marik cooed softly.

Ryou sighed contently. "Thank you..."

Marik sighed and relaxed, nuzzling Ryou and holding him close, keeping the boy nice and comfy and warm.

It was then that Marik noticed shy little hands...doing shy little...exploration.

Marik blinked, and just decided to wait and see where they went. He hugged Ryou close, running a hand up and down his back.

Ryou shivered slightly, nuzzling closer and closing his eyes, a blush upon his cheeks. He was inexpierenced, and shy...and doing something he'd never EVER (until he'd met Marik and drank love potions) thought of doing.

Marik smiled as Ryou felt his tail, petting the fur, and he kissed the top of the boy's head and stroked his hair.

Ryou blushed as his hands touched something not tail...But deep down he was slightly intrigued by just how fit Marik’s ass was...

"Oop! Hmm... what did Ryou find?" Marik asked, chuckling and teasing the boy, grabbing HIS little behind. "Ooooohhh... what did I just find?"

Ryou yelped and jumped squirming slightly. "S-sorry!" he whimpered eyes wide.

Marik laughed. "For what?" He asked, squeezing Ryou's bottom and pulling his hips up against his own.

Ryou gasped softly and closed his eyes, whimpering. He'd never been even remotely intimate with anyone before. It was intimidating, and a bit scary

Marik nuzzled him, kissing his face gently.

Ryou slowly calmed down squirming slightly at Marik's hands, still on his back end...

"Something wrong, dear?" Marik asked, grinning.

Ryou opened an eye. "You...you're...um..."

“I’m what? Hot? Sexy? Desireable?” Marik asked with a goofy grin.

Ryou blinked. "Um... no… you're touching my... um... behind."

Marik grinned and gave it a BIG old squeeze.

Ryou yelped loudly and he squirmed. "Marriiiik!"

"Hmmmmm?" Marik asked with a smug smile.

"Dooont!" Ryou squeaked.

"Awwwwww... Whyyyyy?" Marik pouted.

Ryou gave him a deep blushing shocked look. "It's my backend!"

"YEAH it is..." Marik said with a wide grin.

Ryou's blush deepened. "I...must be missing the joke..."

"I am quite happy with what I found..." Marik chuckled.

Ryou blushed. "You're terrible..."

Marik grinned. "I love you..." He cooed.

Ryou smiled and nodded. "I love you too."

"Oh good! Does that mean I can grope your heiney some more?"

"NO!" Ryou howled squirming.

"Awwww... Pleeeeeeeease?" Marik whined.

"No touching by backside!" Ryou howled again.

"But you touched mine!!!" Marik pointed out.

"Not on purpose!"

"Yeah RIGHT!!! If you're messing with my tail and then move your hands down, what do you EXPECT to be touching?!" Marik laughed.

Ryou whined.

Marik laughed harder.

"You're so mean..." Ryou mumbled pouting

"Awww..." Marik said softly, and moved his hands down to Ryou's thighs.

Ryou calmed, but the blush crept back to his cheeks.

"Better?" Marik asked, slyly.

Ryou blushed and nodded.

Marik chuckled. "Good." And he kissed Ryou, before sliding his hands up to Ryou's hips and grinding against him slightly.

Ryou squeaked slightly, squirming. "M-Marik..." he breathed.

"Hmmmmm?"

Ryou whimpered. "I love you."

"I love you too, baby..." Marik breathed, sliding a hand down and stroking Ryou.

Ryou jumped at that and squirmed, blushing darker.

"Shhhhh..." Marik whispered. "It's okay."

Ryou whimpered again, but stilled and allowed Marik to touch him.

Marik kissed Ryou's face, nuzzling his cheeks and stroking his body all over. "Feel good?"

Ryou nodded slowly blushing more. "Y-yes..."

"Good..." Marik breathed, running a hand over Ryou's backside again. "How far do you want this to go?"

Ryou shivered. "I...I dunno. H-how far d-does it normally go?" he asked softly.

"Remember my lovely sex talk?" Marik asked, chuckling.

Ryou whined. "NOOOO!!"

"Need to hear it again?"

Ryou whined all the louder. "NO!"

Marik laughed. "Wanna know what's next?" He asked.

Ryou nodded slowly. "A-alright..."

Marik grinned. "Okay." He said, and slipped a finger into Ryou.

Ryou gasped and jumped forward into Marik, crushing them together. "Eeek!"

Marik laughed. "Calm down."

Ryou whimpered again but forced himself to calm down. "A-alright...but your finger's cold..." he grumbled.

Marik burst out laughing at that. "Sorry!

Ryou wrinkled his nose. "Cold fingers..."

Marik snickered. "Well... be glad that not EVERYTHING going in there is cold... another part of me is quite... hot..."

Ryou's eyes widened in shock.

Marik grinned, quickly adding a second finger.

Ryou yipped again, another COLD finger!

Marik snickered. "My poor little elfling."

Ryou whined. "Don’t call me that...."

"Awwww..." Marik pouted.

Ryou kissed him. "I love you."

Marik smiled and nuzzled him. "Good." He said softly, adding a third finger.

Ryou winced slightly, but slowly his cheeks flushed and he began getting into it.

Marik smiled, drawing his Ryou in and out of fingers. "Mmmm... I love you..." He whispered, running his other hand over Ryou's chest, gently brushing fingertips over the boy's nipples.

Ryou shivered and began thrusting slightly against Marik. "A-ah....f-feels good..."

"Good... But tell me..." Marik asked slyly. "Is it enough?"

Ryou moaned softly. "I...I dont know....I...I want..." his eyes fluttered closed and he moaned.

"More?"

Ryou nodded slowly

"Then I'll give you more..." Marik hissed. He removed his fingers and spat into his hand, rubbing it over his erection, not about to take Ryou dry his first time.

Ryou moaned once more at Marik's promise. "Y-yes please!"

"Okay... this might hurt at first." Marik said softly, spreading Ryou's thighs and settling between them.

Ryou nodded slowly trying to relax and he closed his eyes, preparing for the pain Marik was talking about.

Marik kissed Ryou, nuzzling him as he began to slowly press into the half elf.

Ryou winced and whimpered closing his eyes tightly. "nnnng!" he whined not at all happy with the intrusion.

"Shhh... just relax..." Marik cooed, easing further into Ryou. "The pain will go away in a bit..."

Ryou nodded slowly, trying his best to relax. Despite his tries though, he was still panicking. He was doing something REALLY sinful...even though he loved Marik he was still very much a god-fearing boy.

"Shhhhh... shhhhh..." Marik crooned, continuing to comfort Ryou long after he rested fully sheathed in Ryou's body.

Ryou whimpered softly, slowly adjusting and calming. "J-just scared.." he whispered turning and kissing Marik as best he could.

Marik kissed Ryou back, stroking his arousal, gently.

Ryou gave a shuddering sigh, his body relaxing against Mariks. "I love you..."

"I love you too..." Marik whispered, slowly drawing out of Ryou, then pressing back in.

Ryou felt a soft moan escape his lips as Marik began working.

"There you go... does that feel good?" Marik cooed.

Ryou nodded slowly. "Y-yes..."

"Good..." Marik purred, and the others went to sleep listening to Ryou and Marik… well… you get the picture.

Sorry about cutting off the lemon. Mally-chan wasn’t in the mood and even after a YEAR of trying, I couldn’t get her to go back and finish it.
