Just to be Close to You

Jou finally settled into the gigantic bowl-shaped cushion that was to be his bed the night. It taken a few hours but he’d finally found comfortable spot. He was lying on his side fighting the urge to turn over on his back and put his paws in the air and decided to just thump his tail a few times instead. Tonight had been wonderful. He hadn’t played so much with a human since he’d been a puppy and getting his hair brushed was always nice.

However, at the back of his mind was still Varon.

The Aussie Shepard mix hadn’t come back in sometime, not that Jou was his keeper, and the blond couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of him. He tucked his nose into a corner and gave a heavy sigh.

He’d figure it out in the morning.


“Stop...” Jou whispered in his sleep.

The retriever mix was dreaming of his earlier days, the days when his mother would take him by the collar and clean his face with her tongue. He never liked it. Why should she care if there was dirt all over his face?

He grinned and shifted in his sleep, enjoying the feeling of her hand on his belly as it stroked soothing up and down, the warm tongue lapping at his chin. He was puzzled though when the dream changed slightly and the tongue kept slipping near his mouth. He grunted a bit and tried to move away but was held fast.

“Stop...” he whispered again only to be answered this time with a hushed “No.”

Jou’s ears perked up and he opened his eyes to see Varon lapping at his neck and running his hands over his body. The blond yelped and hopped out of the bed, back peddling away and shaking his head.

“I’m not in heat anymore you don’t have to -.”

Varon gave him a chilling look and his tail curled between his legs. His ears drooped and he looked away. “I’ll leave I’ll go home I’m sorry...”

He turned his face away as Varon neared him puzzled when the caresses began again. His tail began to wag slowly and before he knew it he was on his back making pleased whining noises.

“Varon...”

“Just shut up...” the other Inu whispered, seeking the comfort of his mouth.

So Jou shut up and let Varon in, content to be with him like this.

Yugi woke up in bed, his head pounding. He gave a suffering mewl and rubbed his face in irritation.

“Are you alright Aibou?”

The kitten shook his head, continuing to rub his face and eyes. “My head hurts...it hurts...”

Yugi flinched then relaxed as Yami gave a comforting purr in his ear. “It’ll be alright Aibou...shhh, lay down.”

“I don’t want to lay down -Ow!” he covered his eyes as he tried to look around too fast.

Yami licked his cheek and rubbed his back. “I’m going to go now...”

“Why are you being nice to me...did Grandpa call today?”

“It’s only ten in the morning. The shop is closed today I called Rishid to look after you.”

Yugi pulled away from the older Neko and curled up. “I don’t want him here, I can do it!”

“No you can’t -.”

“Yes I can!” he shouted.

Drawers flew open and Yugi gripped his head, mewling. “It hurts....”

Yami got up and tried to comfort the kitten, but that just seemed to make him more upset and cause other things to fly around the room.

“A-aibou I’m going to go and -”

“Get ouuuut!” he moaned, pulling the pillow over his head.

Yami darted from the room, his crimson end of his tail the last thing seen before the door slammed.

Yugi groaned and twisted under the sheets. It huuurts.....

//Shhh...Chibi, hang on....//

The Kitten didn’t know where the voice was from but he immediately felt a soothing presence run over his mind. The pain stopped and he settled back into bed, his eyelids drooping.

“Marik...?”


Marik stood against the way in Kaiba’s office his eyes closed in concentration. His ears snapped up as it appeared he’d found whatever his goal was.

“They’re on.”

“What are?” Seto Kaiba ran his finger along the finely arched neck of his small reptilian pet.

“Yugi’s powers are fully awakened now. He can’t shut them off now even if he wanted to...”

The brunette seemed disinterested. “And now?”

“Since Yami’s the enemy...it’s only natural that his best friends, the Ishtars, shepard him and comfort him.”

“You make it seem sinister...but I think you’re personally invested in the little furball.”

Marik’s eyes snapped open, furious. “Don’t you ever refer to a Neko as a fur ball you no good piece of meat! We’re the superior race here! You’re just the one in power!”

With that he stormed out, tail snapping angrily. Kaiba watched him go and just smiled taking up a file on his desk. It held the pictures of the Alabaster brothers, Bakura and Ryou.

Let’s see if I can’t make an offer you can’t refuse...

****

Yugi frowned when the covers were stripped off without warning. He curled up and hugged his tail, trying to ignore it the best he could.

“Get up Midget!”

A smack to his rear soured his mood and he opened his eyes, hissing. “Stop!”

A drawer flew across the room and shattered against the wall.

Marik rolled his eyes. “Let’s have no more of that...besides, if you don’t get that under control you’ll hurt yourself.”

“Hmph...” Yugi sat up and glanced up at Marik, running clawed finger nails through his hair. “You’re not the boss of me...”

“Go shower and I’ll get you something to eat.” the Golden observed the room and shook his head. There was crap everywhere. “Who pissed you off anyway?”

Yugi had gotten up and was tip toeing through the wreckage. “Yami...he went somewhere...he smells like street.”

“Hmph.” Marik gently shoved the Kitten’s shoulder. “Let’s go we’ll go out to eat.”

“Yay!” Yugi bounced off into the hall, singing about cheesecake.

Marik took out his cell phone and called.

“...we’ll need the training facility soon...yeah he’s definately too powerful to leave by himself...Marik out.”

Oh Yugi...what am I gonna do with you...

The Neko flopped onto Yugi’s bed and closed his eyes. He could take a quick cat nap.


Yugi came from the shower pouting. His hair was soggy. In an attempt to capture run away soap he’d let his hair get under the water and that was always a disaster. He was squeezing the water out best he could but he still felt water logged.

He shuffled into his room in a too big robe and scooped up some fish bone boxers, wiggling into them as he noticed Marik stretched out on his bed. He smiled to himself, drying his tail with the robe and backed up to the wall. Baring his claws, he ran and jumped, claws pointing down. No cat could resist this.

And Marik knew it. That’s why he was ready when Yugi pounced and swiftly caught his wrists.

“Malik tried and failed. What makes you think you’d succeed?”

Yugi giggled, squirming and struggling as he straddled the older Neko. “Works on Yami!”

“Yami’s and idiot...” He tugged Yugi close and licked his nose. “I’m better than him...”

Yugi’s giggles trailed off and suddenly his face felt very hot under Marik’s intense gaze.”Y-yami’s not...s-so bad he takes care of me!”

“I take care of you too Chibi.”

They stared some more and Yugi’s giggles came back. “Stupid...” he said, pushing away.

“Where are we going?” Yugi looked around the floor and picked up last night’s jeans. He put them on, yanking his tail through the tail whole and looking around for a shirt. Marik watched him with a sleepy look.

“Is it cold out?”

Marik shrugged and laid back down. “You don’t think I take care of you?”

“Hm?” Yugi found a black t-shirt and pounced, wrestling it for a few moments before he put it on. His head popped up on the other side of the bed, a watch in his mouth like a dead fish. “Nya?”

“Let’s stay here a while before we go out Chibi. Aren’t you tired?”

“Never!” Yugi sat on the bed next to Marik and flopped his tail around. “How’s Malik?”

“He’s got a boyfriend.”

“Oh? Who is it?”

“Some stray.” Marik sat up. “Where do you want to go eat?”

Yugi hugged Marik suddenly, trying to squeeze the life out of him. “Wheee!”

The Golden laughed and stared out of the window. “Where Yugi?”

“Carry me!”

“No.” he looked down at the kitten’s sweet face and rubbed his ear tenderly. “You’re too big...maybe a few years back when I first met you, not now Chibi.”

“Please? Grandpa would.”

“Hn. That old -I mean, your Grandpa spoiled you. That’s why you’re what you are now. Let go and let’s go.”

Yugi sat up a little straighter and looked into Marik’s eyes. “Do you really think I’m spoiled?”

“Yeah sure, let’s go.”

Yugi stared at him a little longer then let go, standing up and smoothing his own tail. “Yeah okay...”

Marik noticed a slight change and rubbed Yugi’s hair. “We’ll get something disastrously unhealthy for you, alright?”

“Yeah okay...”

“And we’re taking the car today, sorry Chibi.”

“Hm.”

Fuck, what’d I do? Marik let Yugi lead them out of the house and flinched when the boy got in the car, slamming the door.

Arg...he’s pissed somehow...

****

Malik’s tail waved over his back lazily as he talked with Shizuka, his chin in his hands. Otogi was next to him, arm wrapped around his waist as he watched tv in the main den chamber.

“Yeah, we usually set you up with a Human family that you really like. It’s all about the choice of the Neko...or Inu.”

The girl smiled. “That sounds nice...but I like living with Jou...here. We’re a family...even if he is away a lot.”

“That’s just like my brother...” Malik said. The words still seemed strange in his mouth, especially after everything he and Marik had shared. “Just like my boyfriend! Ne, Gi-kun?”

The raven haired Neko nodded and changed the channel. “Sure...”

The door opened and Honda came in. The first thing the Inu noticed was the shirtless, purring Neko in Otogi’s arms.

“What are you doing? Who’s that?!”

Otogi sat up and pulled Malik onto his lap. “This is mine. His name is Malik.”

Malik smirked. So this is the Inu he always smells like...

“I’m not impressed...” he purred, looping his tail around Otogi’s arm. “You smell like street...”

Honda growled and Otogi responded with one of his own when Malik “cowered” in his arms. “Leave Malik alone!”

Honda growled, but left anyway, muttering to himself. Malik watched him go, shivering when Otogi ran the tip of his tongue over his scars.

“Let’s go lay down somewhere...”

Malik nodded and let himself be guided away, waving goodbye to Shizuka. When they were in a secluded part of the den, Malik submitted to Otogi quickly not at all minding his rough pace. They were finished in no time, but what he enjoyed the most was afterward; The cuddling and caressing that the Golden had never gotten with Marik.

He purred in Otogi’s arms and let the Kuro Neko groom him, letting his mind wander.

“Otogi...”

“Hm...”

“Why do you let him touch you at all...he’s simply filthy...”

“He’s good for it.” the youth replied, stroking Malik’s cheek with his finger. “He makes me feel good sometimes.”

Malik looked at him. “Do I make you feel good?”

“All the time...”

“I should call home...or something...”

Otogi kissed him and pulled him close, nuzzling his shoulder. “Do it later...”

“Sounds good...”


****

Jou quietly got up and eased on his blue jeans, trying not to make any noise. His hair looked like a tornado hit it but that wasn’t his main concern. It was the Inu next to him. Clad only in what god gave him, Varon was sleeping comfortably in the bend of the bed that was originally Jou’s place for the night.

Slipping on his t-shirt, the retriever mix started to leave the room, freezing when his name was whispered. He turned and saw Varon was still asleep then left.

I’ve got to get home...
