Pairing: Seto/Jou, Yami+Yugi
Beta: Jennie B. - The angel
Chapter fiveHe was in that chamber again. Jou sighed heavily and rubbed at his temples. Soon, he noticed that he had something around his neck. When he reached up and put his hand there, he noticed that he was wearing the collar. “What the hell?”
“Seth.”
The blonde was startled by the voice that sounded so much like his own, and he turned around, his eyes widening at the near mirror image of himself. The only difference was that the other Jou had black eyes.
“What happened my beloved?”
Upon hearing the soft tenor, the blonde turned around once again only to see Seto - or was that Seth - stretched out on the bed, wearing nothing but a collar…that had the same pendant as him. It was the other half-heart that completed his own.
“Where the hell am I?” What am I’m doing there?”
Amber eyes locked on the brunette he knew so well standing at the entrance of the chamber. Jou approached the other and asked in a very low tone, “What are you doing here?”
"I could ask you the same thing."
“I’ve…seen this chamber before. When I first touched the collar Yugi showed me.”
“That one?” Seto’s pale fingers on his neck sent shivers down the blonde’s spine.
He stepped back and whispered. “Yeah…this one. Why? Are you wearing one, too?”
“I think…we might be here because of this.” He showed his pendant to the blonde, and was about to say something more when a loud ‘crash’ echoed trough the halls. An antique vase fell off a pedestal and broke at their feet.
“What is the matter with you, Seth?! They are gonna execute her!”
“There’s nothing I can do, Beloved…and you know it.”
“Bullshit! You can convince the pharaoh! You are his cousin, for Ra’s sake!”
Seth got out of the bed and approached the blonde, hugging him tightly. “Please Jono…don’t make this more difficult than it already is.”
Jono stepped out of the embrace. “She’s my mother; you cannot abandon her!”
“Jono…”
“You are the coldest person I have ever known. I curse you, Seth!”
“Wait…”
“I curse you! I hope that someday, even if takes thousand of lifetimes, you will suffer through what I’m suffering right now; that the person you care the most about in the world will die in your arms!”
The image started to blur, like a fresh painting that had been soaked in water. Amber eyes widened, and he turned to the brunette, his voice almost pleading. “Forgive me…Seto.”
“Why are you…”
“It’s because of me that Mokuba died in your arms! I…my old self…I don’t know! I cursed you!”
In two long strides, Seto had crossed the room, taking the blonde’s chin in his hands and making him look up at him. “It’s not your fault. It’s not my fault.” He sighed. “Please, Jou! All that I wanted for this holiday was to finally be able to put the past behind us…to let Mokuba and Shizuka rest in peace. But…” He looked away. “All I have done was reopen all those old wounds again. Forgive me.”
The blonde closed his eyes, feeling the tears wetting his cheeks. He sobbed quietly and finally surrendered to his feelings, hugging the CEO desperately. Neither one noticed the glow coming from the two pendants.
“I…never meant to say those words to you.”
“I…” Seto’s voice faltered, but with a herculean strength, he said the words he had kept to himself for all those years. “I love you so much, Jou. It pains me to see you suffering this way. I don’t want to see you close yourself off like this. Don’t do it like I did so long ago.”
“Seto…” He stood on his tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips.
The pendants enveloped them both in a golden light.
As soon as the light had faded, Seto and Jou were able to see everything that had happened. They saw how Seth had fought with all his strength to save Jono’s mother from execution, but to no avail. After they had died, they discovered learned that it had all been an elaborate plot to separate them. Then, in the years that passed, their incarnations had never gotten along, no matter how they had tried.
They relived what had happened at the arcade that day, three years ago. They discovered that nothing they could have done would have changed what had happened. Mokuba and Shizuka had been destined to die. They didn’t understand why, but finally, they could let their siblings go.
And suddenly, they found themselves in Seto’s room, locked in each other’s arms. Both were wearing a similar collars with the half-heart pendants. They had been reunited again.

Yami smiled sweetly and looked at Yugi, who was sleeping beside him on the bed. He laid down beside his hikari and hugged from behind, whispering, “Finally…they can begin to heal each other. It worked better than I had thought.”

The rain was falling hard that night of in Domino, and the streets were deserted. Families were having dinner together, talking about their plans for the next day, while couples were looking for some quality time. In the master bedroom of Kaiba’s mansion, something was happening. The pain that spanned thousands of years was finally starting to heal.
Seto was looking into the soulful, amber eyes, which were glowing with love, as his pale hands slowly unbuttoned the shirt the blonde was wearing. The fabric slid down and fell to the floor quietly. His hands touched the warm skin, the action followed by a full, passionate kiss.
Jou moaned into the kiss, his arms wrapped needily around the brunette’s neck, his tongue eagerly twining with the other’s. He gasped when they broke the kiss, and then he whispered, “Make me yours…forever.”
Seto took off his own shirt and stared into his eyes again, murmuring tenderly, “Yes…Beloved.”
The rest of their clothes were carelessly discarded, and as soon they lay down on the bed, they moved towards each other, their hands entwined. Jou drew Seto on top of him and kissed his sensual lips with all his passion that he had kept locked away for so long. He wanted the brunette more than anything, and nothing was going to stop him.
Seto returned the embrace with equal fervor, moaning lustily, moving as close to Jou’s body as he could, as if wanting to make the two of them become one. His fingers caressed every inch of skin they could find, and beneath him, the blonde trembled and and pled with him, gasping for more.
“Seto…” the blonde groaned huskily. “Want you…inside me…please.”
The brunette moaned at the request, sitting up a bit and reaching inside his bedside drawer, and taking the bottle of hand lotion; that would do for now. He squeezed some of the lotion onto his fingers and approached the blonde again, lightly kissing his neck, and whispering passionate words. Soon, one finger carefully probed at the puckered entrance, slipping inside and stretching him gently.
Jou gasped and arched his back, feeling electric shocks ripple through his body. “Seto... more...” There was no pain at all, and he could hardly believe the incredible, pleasurable sensations coursing through him.
The brunette happily complied, slowly adding one more finger, and then scissoring them, his eyes glowing with desire at the sight of the blonde moaning in delight as he tried to impale himself on his fingers. He added a third one, kissing the other passionately as he did so.
“Enough...want you inside me...” Jou moaned as he pulled away from the brunette’s mouth, his hands grasping wantonly at the other’s shoulders.
Seto removed his fingers, and positioned himself at the blonde’s entrance, his eyes locked on the other. Slowly, he started to push his length inside the blonde, hissing lowly at the sensations flooding through him.
Jou grasped the brunette’s shoulders even more tightly, his grip almost bruising, as he waited for the sharp pain to subside. But, despite the discomfort, he didn’t want the brunette to stop. Ever.
“Are you okay?” Seto asked, his tone low and husky, his fingers caressing the blonde bangs that clung to the other’s forehead.
“Yes...I...just keep moving,” the blonde said, the pain gradually disappearing, and in its place, a buzz of pleasure began spreading through his body.
Seto started with slow, deep strokes, amazed by the spiritual connection he had with Jou; it was like nothing he had ever experienced before. He kissed the blonde passionately, his pace quickening as he felt a boiling heat building deep within his stomach, his cock hardening further as his desire soared.
Jou cried out at every thrust, his body burning with ecstasy. One of his hands slipped between them, and he grasped his cock, pumping himself in time with Seto’s movements, feeling his pleasure spiraling higher and higher.
Their moans got louder and louder, drowning out the sound of the falling rain. Their bodies were moving together as one, as their passion escalated toward their plateau, until finally, they couldn’t fight it anymore.
Jou cried out first, feeling his belly tighten, and then hot spurts of semen coating his stomach and Seto’s chest.
The brunette felt the blonde’s passage become impossibly tighter, and he, too, reached his peak, filling the blonde with his seed. He let his body fall limply on top of Jou’s, and he smiled faintly, feeling the faint glow of the pendants from around both of their necks.
After a moment, the blonde hugged the other and said, “Don’t pull out...yet. I want...to feel you. Just for a little longer.” He felt himself blush as he said those words.
Seto moaned lowly and kissed the other, whispering softly, “Of course, my beloved. Anything you want.”
Their wounds had been healed.
