Tell Tale Dreams
Chapter Three (3)

" Yay! We're here!" exclaimed Jou as the van came to a stop. Everyone filed out excitedly onto the grassy plain. There was a cliff some ways off behind the cabin.

Seto was the last to get out, trying to keep his walk as normal as possible without showing his discomfort. It hurt when his - now half- erection rubbed against his boxers. He had to bite back a moan when Yugi's leg would brush his as the Motou turned to talk to his friends back in the van. The brunette needed serious help, and a good cold shower.

Everyone took their bags and headed inside the spacious wooden house. It was wide with two stories. The door was in the kitchen, and then next was the living room with a fire place and large sofas and love seats. The left had a bathroom and a bedroom; the right led to two other rooms and the stairway up the stairs. On the second floor, there was a hallway with the bathroom at the end of the hall, and two more rooms along the right wall. The left side had a sliding door to the balcony.

Sugoroku put his stuff in the downstairs room to the left by the bathroom. " All right," he said as he stepped out to the teens in the living room. " There are four more rooms, and there are five of, mi, minus the Spirits. I'm sure you guys can do the math! I'm going to go unpack." The old Motou stepped back out to the van to get all the treats and food they brought along. The others started arguing.

" I call upstairs!"

" So do I!"

" I get a room."

" Me too!"

" Man! I don't want the sofa!!"

Everyone laughed at Jou's statement. " Well, we certainly can't SHARE, can we?" asked Anzu jokingly. Giggles erupted from her at the flushed looks of Jou and Ryou. Seto raised an eyebrow. Was there something he didn't know?

" Oh, by the way," began Bakura lazily at the Kaiba's expression of confusion. " Ryou and this baka are going out."

" AHH! BAKURA!" yelled the Tomb Robber's Hikari. " You weren't supposed to tell him that!" The color of his face could rival a cooked lobster's shell. Jou was wringing his hands nervously at his chest; he shot his head up.

" Hey! I'm not an idiot!"

" I rest my case," said Bakura simply.

Seto stared from Ryou to Jou, the shock splashing over him like the freezing water he needed, wiping out the remnants of his uncomfortable erection. Ryou and that mutt were going out? It didn't matter that they were homosexual. The CEO just had a hard time keeping in his laugh.

" Uh, Kaiba-kun?" said Yugi, looking worried. " Are you okay?" The shocked looks of the others pushed the brunette over the edge, and he let his chuckles fill the silent room. When five pairs of eyes bulged and five jaws dropped, those chuckles turned into laughter. An unseen shiver ripped through Yugi.

" What is so funny?" asked Jou, outraged and red. " D'you got a problem with somethin'?"

Seto shook his head and picked up his things, walking down the hall to the stairs at the right. " Whatever. I'm getting a room upstairs. You can stay with Ryou, puppy. Since Bakura likes being out of his Ring, he can bunk with Yugi. Anzu and I will sleep in the remaining two rooms."

He could feel Yugi blush and Bakura fume with embarrassment as he left. Seto smirked. He knew everyone was PERFECTLY comfortable with the arrangements. The CEO just hoped he made the right decision by putting them together.

~~

After everyone unpacked, lunch time came by and Sugoroku was already cooking in the kitchen. There were sandwiches, chips and dips, cookies, and drinks on the table. The teens took a Styrofoam plate and put what they wanted on it, and sat wherever they wanted to eat. Seto placed himself on a brown love seat at the end of the living room. He had two tuna sandwiches, potato chips and two chocolate chip cookies. At his feet was a bottle of water. He studied his food for a moment and thanked himself for coming.

The CEO looked up to see Jou and Ryou at the foot of a couch, sharing a plate. Envy shot up his spine. Seto wished he could do that. With whom, he was afraid to admit. Yugi, Bakura, and Anzu sat at the coffee table and laughed at some dirty joke the Tomb Robber had said. Seto chuckled himself. Who would have thought that that Spirit had a sense of humor?

' Must have picked it up for Yugi,' the CEO absent-mindedly said. Yes, he had a feeling that he liked Yugi. How? Well, it all started in the van. Even though the brunette didn't STUDY Bakura's actions, Seto saw enough to draw the conclusion that Bakura had some interest. Whether it was personal or for… lust, he had no idea, and he hoped it wasn't the latter.

" Hey, Yugi," said Aas sas she bit into her oatmeal cookie. " Where's Yami? asn'asn't been out all day." That caught the CEO's attention. He saw Yugi glance at him before replying.

" He's just waiting for the grand finale, is all," replied the Motou boy. " Yami hasn't been feeling well."

' Liar,' hissed Seto inwardly as those wide 'innocent' eyes looked at his plate. ' What are you hiding, Yami? … Why am I curious?' Seto scoffed at himself and drank water. There was no air conditioning in this p, bu, but it wasn't hot, and Seto's brain wasn't frying from the heat. He had no excuse for that stupid question.

" Oh, that's too bad, buddy," said Jou; a piece of bread stook out of his mouth. Ryou giggled and nudged it in. Anzu 'aww-ed', Bakura rolled his eyes, Yugi blushed and Seto looked sharply away. It hurt too much to see such a happy, open couple. Could Ya- ?

' What is wrong with you?' the brunette berated himself. ' You were about to say 'Yami'. Why? Are you in LOVE with him?'

' Get away from me,' replied Seto angrily. So he had some, okay A LOT of erotic dreams about Yami. But even that gave him no reason to mention the Pharaoh every time he thought about something intimate. Seto just mixed it up with lust; yes, his body craved for Yami, that was it. So if it was, could Seto give it the Pharaoh, and get rid of all the torture? Was Seto even WILLING?

Could Seto seduce Yami for a meaningless quickie and toss him away?

" Ryouhundhundered Bakura. The yami was standing and glaring at his Hikari. Every thing was silent before the Spirit roared, almost for no reason. Seto was startled, but Ryou must have said something in their 'link' that caused Bakura to color and look furious. The others appeared amused like they were used to outbursts like that.

" Whad he say this time, Bakura?" asked Jou, trying not to laugh. " You're bo'." '."

Bakura turned his angry eyes to the blonde. " He said I should try to se-" The Tomb Robber's hands flew to his mouth, his dark eyes wide with panic. Ryou laughed and shook his head.

" I know you like the idea, naughty Bakura," said Ryou un-Ryou-like. " I see the way you loo-"

" That's enough!" Bakura pounced on his Hikari and held his mouth. Jou 'oh-ed' as though he knew what was going on. Yugi and Anzu merely raised their eyebrows " " What's up, you guys?" asked Yugi curiously. " You're all acting awfully strange."

Anzu nodded. " Yeah. Bakura, what were you going to say?"

" Nothing!" he replied sharply, trying to muffle the sounds from Ryou's mouth. " It's nothing. Just- go ahead and eat- nothing happened."

Seto watched as Yugi and the girl shrugged and talked about a movie they recently saw. His azure eyes narrowed as they studied the blonde and two snowy hair teens. That was the second time that the Tomb Robber's temper almost made something slip. What WAS it?

~~

" Let's go outside!" Yugi was leaping all around the cabin, yelling the same thing over and over again like a little boy. It was four o'clock and pretty cool out. Seto was reading on the sofa, Anzu was dueling with Jou, and Ryou and Bakura were talking to each other; one of them made a burst of laughter ( Ryou) or anger (Bakura) every now and then. Grandpa was taking a nap on the patio.

" Come on, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" whined Yugi, pacing around the living room. Jou just placed a monster card faced down, Ryou just giggled, and Seto just turned the page, all of them acting like Yugi didn't even exist. The small teen pouted and flopped on a love seat, his eyes tearing up.

Anzu saw this and sighed in defeat, putting her hand of cards faced down. " Oh, Yugi…" she complained. " Can we finish this first?"

Yugi looked up at her. " Can you finish it outside?" His amethyst eyes were watery and shiny; his brows were furrowed in a cute, pleading way. Anzu and Jou saw around it though, and the girl ed aed a magic card on the field. Yugi dropped to the floor and began sniffling.

" Come on, Yugi, they're just kidding," said Ryou suddenly, a bright light in his eyes. He winked at the tri haired boy and spoke out in a loud, sweet voice. " Jou, can we go outside? I want to-"

" Sure!" replied the blonde, putting his cards away.

" Hey!" exclaimed Anzu. " Ryou!"

" Sorry Anzu," said Jou, standing. " I'm gonnlit.lit."

Ryou stood, took the other boy's hand, and they both walked out; Yugi squealed and darted out passed them. Bakura sighed and stood as well. He looked back at Seto, still reading.

" Are you coming?" he asked, not really caring, just wondering. Seto bent a side of his book to see the Spirit.

" I suppose I could," the CEO replied in the same tone of voice. They both walked out after the three running and yelling teenszu hzu had gone out after them and quickly joined the immature boys playing a simple version of freeze tag.

" So, are you bunking with Yugi?" asked Seto in amusement. Bakura chuckled beside him.

" Ryou talked him into it," replied the Tomb Robber in his same demeanor. He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. " How did you know about this, Kaiba? Does that little weasel Hikari of mine have anything to do with it?"

" No. The blame is on you, Tomb Robber."

" Hn." Bakura stopped and the CEO turned to him. Those dark eyes held some serious thought within their depths, and the brunette tilted his head curiously.

" Bakura," Seto began.

" There's something you should know," said Bakura. " But I have to show you..."

~~

The sun was beginning to go down. Sugoroku was still taking his light nap as the teens prepared the food and gifts in the kitchen and living room. As Yugi took off the apron that said 'Kiss the Cook', there was a bright glow. When it cleared, there was an older, taller, version of himself beside him.

" Oh, Yami!" squealed Anzu and hugged him. She was preparing the candles on the marble cake before she embraced the Pharaoh. Yami was taken aback and pressed against the counter. He hesitantly patted her on the back before she pulled away.

" Are you well now? What was wrong? Is there anything I can do?" she asked, putting her hand on his forehead. Yami sweat dropped.

Seto was arranging the gifts with Bakura when they saw the flash and heard the girl's delighted voice. The CEO felt a wave of jealousy just as the Tomb Robber looked at him.

" She likes him a lot," the Spirit said plainly, bending down to fix Yugi's gift on top of Seto's. " Yami isn't that big of a fan of her, though. You would be surprised to know how he really feels."

Seto shrugged as though he didn't care, but his mind was reeling with anger and relief. " Why not?" he asked in a monotone, not revealing his curiosity. Bakura looked at his work and placed a hand on his hip.

" He likes someone else." The Tomb Robber left before he could see Seto's reaction.
