A Stretch of Time

winifred_fuzzbunnie: "That's right Mokuba," Jou says ruffling the boys hair. Mokuba sniffs a bit but has stopped crying
blackcat8301: ::I'd rather he take it out on me.::
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Aren't you going to work?" Mokuba asks softly.
blackcat8301: "Not today."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "oh."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba says softly.
blackcat8301: Seto strokes Mokuba's cheek. "Go on and get breakfast. Jou and I will be in shortly."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba nods and stands heading inside
blackcat8301: Seto moves to rewrap his wrist for the time being.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou watches Seto.
blackcat8301: "More ways than one to make a guy feel bad."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou wraps hiss los lovingly around Seto's neck and kisses him fully on the lips.
blackcat8301: Seto kisses back.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou runs his tounge over Seto's lips.
blackcat8301: Instinctly, the brunette opens his mouth to the blond.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou sucks on Seto's tounge.
blackcat8301: He moans into thher'her's mouth before pulling back. "Jou, you need to get better."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "It's just kissing," He says softly.
blackcat8301: "But kissing can lead to other things. I don't want to hurt you."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Just kissing... please," Jou whispers a need evident in his eyes.
blackcat8301: "We don't go beyond that."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou nods.
blackcat8301: Seto leans back in to kiss Jou again.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou leans up into the kiss wrapping his arms around Seto's neck.
blackcat8301: The CEO wraps his arms around the other duelist's waist.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou sucks on Seto's tounge. His hands fist into the brown hair of his CEO.
blackcat8301: Seto moans slightly, his mind telling his body to cool down.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou sucks a bit harder on seto's tounge savoring the taste.
blackcat8301: Seto breaks for air, gasping and panting.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou pants slightly as he kisses Seto's neck.
blackcat8301: "Jou."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou kisses up Seto's jawline.
blackcat8301: "Jou," he said more firmly.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou stops. THere is a need still evident in his eyes as he looks at Seto. He quickly pushes that need to the side.
blackcat8301: "Remember what we agreed."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "We said kissing. That's what I wsa doing."
blackcat8301: "I meant on the mouth only. I don't want to go too far. You still need to rest, to get better." Seto pleads with his eyes.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You should have said so." Jou says laying his head on Seto's shoulder.
blackcat8301: "I'm sorry."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Don't be. You're right I do need to rest. It's just I have never been good at resting."
blackcat8301: "Ah, yes. I know that all too well."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou nuzzles Seto's neck. His tummy grumbles.
blackcat8301: "We better get inside so we can eat."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Yeah," Jou says making now move to get up.
blackcat8301: Seto follows, heading to the kitchen.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (he didn't get up.) (should have been making no move to get up
blackcat8301: Seto gets up to head to the kitchen.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou stands and streatches. He winces slightly
blackcat8301: "Do you need help?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I'll be fine."
blackcat8301: "You sure?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Yeah." ::They hurt me real bad... even worse than... Awww damnit damnit damnit.:: He thinks to himself.
blackcat8301: "Are you sure you don't want some help?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I don't want you falling down the ladder and killing yourself."
blackcat8301: "And I don't want the same thing happening to you.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I'll be fine.
blackcat8301: "Maybe if you would just jump into my arms?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I'll be fine getting down the ladder." Jou says starting down. He get's to the ground and his legs give out on him. "Damnit!" He swears.
blackcat8301: Seto helps him inside. "I wish you would have let me help."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Guess I am to stubborn for my own good," he says smiling.
blackcat8301: "Yes, you are."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou kisses Seto's chin.
blackcat8301: Seto smiles and sets the blond in a chair, getting a plate ready for him.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (alright have a favor mind if we skip ahead a bit to where jou is doing much better? oh and if yes i want to start.
blackcat8301: (ok, fine with me.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (thanks) A month later. Jou is swimming lazily in the pool. He has been doing much better. His still slightly tender and he knows that some fo the cuts will become new scars.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: He is wearing Red Eyes Black Dragon swim trunks
blackcat8301: "I see you like swimming in my pool," Seto says, setting down his briefcase.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I find it relaxing."
blackcat8301: "I generally do."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You going tin min me?"
blackcat8301: "Maybe later. I still have a lot of paperwork to do."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "YOur no fun," Jou says pouting a bit. (oh have seto comment on mokuba swimming with jou when he comes home from school and then have him notice that Mokuba should have already been home.
blackcat8301: "I'm sorry, Jou. Really, I am."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "It's alright."
blackcat8301: Seto begins to do his paperwork.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "When does Mokuba get home from school," Jou asks.
blackcat8301: "Why?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Was thinkign he might want to go swimming."
blackcat8301: "Oh. Well, what time is it?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou looks at his watch. "Almost four."
blackcat8301: (what time would Moki normally get home?)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (let's say 3:15 unless he called.)
blackcat8301: "Why does that worry me?" Seto thinks for a moment and whips out his cell, calling Mokuba's.
wied_fed_fuzzbunnie: "You have reached my cell phone. Leave a message." THe voice mail kicks in.
blackcat8301: "Mokuba! Where the hell are you?! Call me asap!"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (they are evil they are) Jou get's out of the pool. "What's wrong?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Just then Seto's cell rings.
blackcat8301: Seto answers it. "Kaiba."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Hello Seto." Noah says.
blackcat8301: Visibly, Seto pales. "Noah. How did you get my number?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "A raven told me."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "A beautiful little raven."
blackcat8301: "What do you want? The company? The house? The billions of dollars? What?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Everything. THe company the money the house. Everything."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (I am assuming Seto knows Noah was reffering to Mokuba)
blackcat8301: (Duh. :P) "It's yours. Just don't hurt him."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "He is very beautiful. Hard to believe he's related you to you."
blackcat8301: "Don't hurt him!"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I'll call with details." (oh i have an idea where Seto can get mokuba back with out giving anything to noah.) THere is a dialtone on the other end.
blackcat8301: "I'll kill him if he so much as touches Mokuba."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou hugs Seto. "Did you hear any background noises while you were talking with him?" Jou asks. (train and ng wng water have seto say although just the train first. sorry my muses have ideas.)
blackcat8301: "A train. Maybe wamovimoving."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou thinks. "I know where he is. There are warehouses on the water front that back up to train tracks. Can I borrow your cell. Going to see if Yami would be willing to go get him."
blackcat8301: "Alright."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou hangs up. "Yami is on his way to the warehouses. He'll get Ma baa back. And punish Noah." Jou says hugging Seto close.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (still very much wet from the pool.)
blackcat8301: Seto leans his head on Jou's shoulder. "He's hurt him, hasn't he?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "shhhh," Jou strokes Seto's hair.
blackcat8301: "I swear I'll kill him. I swear it."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou leads seto to a chair. He sits pulling the ceo into his lap.
blackcat8301: "I promised him, Jou. I promised nothing bad would happen."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou strokes Seto's hair. Just then Yami walks over holding a crying Mokuba in his arms. Mokuba is wrapped up in Yami's jacket which is the only covering he has.
blackcat8301: Seto runs over and snatches Mokuba. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" he asked frantically.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba just clings to Seto.
blackcat8301: The older Kaiba began to check the younger all over, making sure that his brother was alright.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: There are bruises on his inner thighs and his chest.
blackcat8301: "Let's get you inside." Seto carried Mokuba to the bathroom to get him cleaned up and warm.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou follows.
blackcat8301: "Did he touch you?" Seto tries asking.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami follows also in case Seto wanted to ask anything.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba looks down at the bruises but doesn't say anything.
blackcat8301: "Did he touch you. . .like in the video?" he tries again.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba shakes his head. "Tried," He whispers.
blackcat8301: "He won't, I swear it, Mokuba, he won't hurt you if he did. I won't let him."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "you won't have to worry about him hurting Mokuba," Yami says. He looks slightly drained.
blackcat8301: "Nattie will help you get cleaned up, ok? I don't think you're in the mood to have another guy touching you." Seto sounds broken.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You nii-sama," Mokie whispers clinging to his brother.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami walks silently out of the room.
blackcat8301: "Mokuba, I don't want to hurt you."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba clings tighto Seo Seto.
blackcat8301: "I'm not as gentle as she is."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba doesn't let go of Seto.
blackcat8301: "Please, Mokuba."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba burries his face in Seto's neck.
blackcat8301: "I'll be right here. I promise."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You do it," Mokuba whimpers into Seto's shoulder.
blackcat8301: He looks to Jou for help.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Mokuba Seto will be right here with you. So will I if you want me to. But you need gentle touches right now." Jou touches Mokuba's shoulder softly.
blackcat8301: "Please, Moki."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba nods although he still clings to his brother.
blackcat8301: Nattie collects Mokuba and sets him in the warm bathtub, cleaning him as gently as possible.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba let's himself be washed.
blackcat8301: She makes sure to slide over his bruised areas and then picks him up in a fluffy, soft towel.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba lays his head on her shoulder.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: He looks exhausted.
blackcat8301: Seto takes him from her and carries the tired boy to his room, getting him into soft pjs before slipping him into bed.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Mokuba is soon asleep. Yami sits in the kitchen drinking a glass of water. He looks almost as exhausted as Mokuba.
blackcat8301: Seto comes in. "What happened?" he asks Yami.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (ack what mean you by happen. mean you why Yami is so exhausted.)
blackcat8301: (the whole thing. When Yami got to the warehouse.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami runs his fingers through his tricolored hair and sighs. "When I got to the warehouse Mokuba was naked in a small cage. Noah was near by. He saw me and started shooting at me. I...," He takes a deep breath. "I banished his soul to the shadow realm and got Mokuba out of there."
blackcat8301: Seto nodded. "Thank you."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "your welcome," Yami says.
blackcat8301: "You're more than welcome to stay here until you decide to leave." Seto goes outside.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I could use to lay down and rest. It took a lot out of me to banish him."
blackcat8301: The CEO heads toward the tree house.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou follows close behind as a maid shows Yami to a room.
blackcat8301: "Jou, you should be inside."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I want to be with you."
blackcat8301: "I need some time alone, please."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "But..."
blackcat8301: "Pleasou?"ou?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Promise me you won't hurt yourself." Jou says gently touching Seto's wrists.
blackcat8301: "I can't promise anything."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Promise me you won't kill yourself."
blackca1: "1: "I won't kill myself."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou kisses Seto's cheek softly and heads back inside.
blackcat8301: Seto climbs into the tree house, giving himself his "punishment." It's no wonder that he wears long sleeved clothing.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou goes in to check on Mokuba. "Jou," He whispers. "I'm right here Mokie," He says sitting on the bed next to Mokie. "Stay," Mokie whispers softly. "Of course." Jou says as he streatches out on the bed. Mokuba curls up against Jou. Jou wraps his arms around Mokuba. Mokuba soon falls asleep. His head in the crook of Jou's arm. Jou is asleep soon after.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (aww wish I could draw)
blackcat8301: "It doesn't matter that I tried. It doesn't matter they're gone. I still can't protect him. He said that. Gozaburo vowed he would hurt Mokuba when I wasn't looking. No matter what I did, no matter how protective. . .I failed. I failed him," he sobs.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You did all you could do," Yami says from the top of the ladder. "You are only human Kaiba."
blackcat8301: "I promised him!"
winifred_fuznie:nie: "You are only human. You can't do everything."
blackcat8301: "I'm not human. Not at all."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami raises an eyebrow.
blackcat8301: "I'm just an empty shell that's been living for too long."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Mokuba and Jou don't see you that way."
blackcat8301: "But it's tru win winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I don't believe it Seto." Yami says.
blackcat8301: "All I feel is pain. No matter what. . . It hurts!"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami goes over to him. "Do you really think it would be better if you weren't here?"
blackcat8301: "I didn't say that."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I asked you a question."
blackcat8301: "I don't know."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (ack my muses go splat.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "he won't be coming back. he's been bansished for ver."
blackcat8301: "Oh, sure, he has, but what about the other thousands of people who'd love to get a piece of me?" he asks through tears.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami sits next to the CEO. "You will do the best you can." Yami says
blackcat8301: "And if it results in Mokuba's death?'
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "It hasn't yet. And you can always call on me. I am willing to help you."
blackcat8301: Seto wipes at the tears. "It doesn't matter. We've been set up for failure before we even met Gozaburo."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "If you say things like that then they become true. Words can be as powerful as actions."
blackcat8301: "Our mother, birth mother, was drunk almost the entire time she was pregnant with Mokuba. Our dad was no better. He said she was on drugs when she was pregnant with me. He also abused us, verbally, but that stopped. After a few years, that stopped."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "At least you know of your past."
blackcat8301: "Mokuba doesn't remember. He was too young. Just like Gozaburo, I killed them. I wanted everything to stop. I didn't want Mokuba to grow up in that environment. They wouldn't convict a six year old kid. So they placed us in an orphanage."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I am jealous of you Kaiba and not because you are wealthy but because you have memories of your past." Yami says softly.
blackcat8301: "I'd rather forget them."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "you would rather forget and i would give anything to know of my past. know where i came from."
blackcat8301: "That reminds me." Seto pulls out two sets of plane tickets. "I have a contact in Egypt and he says he found your tomb."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami's eyes go wide in disbielf. "Can it be true," he whispers to himself.
blackcat8301: "I arranged for you and Yugi to go and have a look. First class, best suite, the whole deal."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "THank you," he says taking the tickets. "You have no idea what this means to me.
blackcat8301: "Just promise me one thing. Don't get in over your heads."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I promise we will try not to get in over our heads.
blackcat8301: "I don't want to get a call in the early hours of morning to find out you've been arrested or killed. That just won't look good at all."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami chuckles.
blackcat8301: "What's so funny?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Nothing." Yami says standing and heading to the ladder.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I will find away to repay you."
blackcat8301: "You already have."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami nods in understanding and then heads down the ladder.
blackcat8301: Seto soon climbs out himself and heads to these. se.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou and Mokuba are sound asleep in Mokuba's room. Mokuba is curled up against Jou's back. Jou is curled up on his side. Mokuba is sucking his thumb.
blackcat8301: ::At least they're alright.:: he thinks to himself.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Jou stirs and wakes up. "Hey," He whispers.
blackcat8301: "Hey."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You alright?"
blackcat8301: "Not really, but I'll get over it."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Come join us," Jou invites since there is plenty of room on the bed.
blackcat8301: "I'm not tired," he says with a shake of his head.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "oh," jou says yawning. "I am."
blackcat8301: "Go ahead and sleep. I have paperwork to finish anyway."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Alright," Jou says softly.
blackcat8301: Seto goes back to the pool to pick up his work and takes it inside to finish.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami arrives home.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (let's do a bit of them.)
blackcat8301: Yugi jumps from the couch. "Is everything ok?" he asks, slightly worried for everyone's wre. re.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Everything is fine," Yami says. He still holds the tickets.
blackcat8301: "What's that?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Tickets to Egypt." Yami says.
blackcat8301: He tilts his head. "Why Egypt?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Seto says one of his contacts there has found my tomb. He's coverd the cost for us to go."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami has said all this in monotone
winifred_fuzzbunnie: he's still in shock.
blackcat8301: Yugi's eyes go super wide. "Oh, wow."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami just stares at the tickets.
blackcat8301: "So are we going?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami nods.
blackcat8301: "Very cool!" Yugi jumps up and down excitedly.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami smiles a bit at his hikari.
blackcat8301: "We've got to pack!" He races to his room to start packing. "We're gonna need lots of sunscreen for Egypt! It's really hot there! Or so I've heard. So we'll have to stop at the store to buy a couple hundred!"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami chuckles.
blackcat8301: Just as quickly as Yugi ran into his room, he comes back out with a pout. "All I have are sun attracking clothing."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "we will have to buy new clothes then."
blackcat8301: "But I have only so much for allowance. And the sunscreen's gonna take most of it."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Well you don't want to sweat to death do you?"
blackcat8301: "No. But I don't want to get skin cancer either."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I will buy you some outfits."
blackcat8301: "What about you?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "I'll buy myself something."
blackcat8301: "You sure?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Yes you worry about the sunscreen. We don't want Ra to burn you to a crisp." (think that's the sun god)
blackcat8301: (Yes, that's right. :P) "Ok. But I'm gonna buy you something too!"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "You don't have to do that."
blackcat8301: "I want to," he whines cutely. (Everything he doescutecute.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami kisses the tip of his nose.
blackcat8301: "When do the tickets say our plane's leaving?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (you have any thoughts on that?)
blackcat8301: (They're open tickets. So they can leave at any time.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "We can leave at anytime."
blackcat8301: "Cool. It'll take a couple of days to get everything together."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Yes it will." Yami says
blackcat8301: "In the meantime. . ." Yugi tackles Yami, trying to tickle him all over. (Somehow, I see them as a couple, but they haven't quite done anything yet.)
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (me too) Yami laughs tickling his hikari.
blackcat8301: The smaller duelist starts giggling.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami continues to tickle Yugi. (i am assuming they have kissed.
blackcat8301: (Yeah. Just. . . .something about not wanting to break Yugi's innocence?) Yugi continues to giggle, half trying to get away from Yami.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: (k) Yami leans down and softly kisses Yugi.
blackcat8301: Yugi kisses back, wrapping his arms around the other's neck.
blackcat8301: "So when are we going to go farther in our relationship?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Now is not the time to talk about it." Yami says standing with Yugi in his arms.
blackcat8301: "Why not?" he pouts.
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami says nothing.
blackcat8301: "Yami, why can't we?"
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "Because I said so." He says.
blackcat8301: "But, Yami. . ."
winifred_fuzzbunnie: Yami lays Yugi on the bed and walks outside for some fresh air
blackcat8301: Yugi pouts. "Maybe he doesn't want me that way." He turns on his side. "Maybe. . .he doesn't love me because I'm still a 'kid.'
winifred_fuzzbunnie: "oh yugi... I do love you," Yami whispers softly having come back inside. He stands in the door way of the room.
