Shades of the Past

Chapter Five

~*~

Some time later, Seto had had to eventually go back to his job, before, as Jou heard him put it, "those bastards who make up my board decide to take over". Which meant that Seto had left early after another round of lovemaking, let him sleep--and now left him bored. He drummed his feet on the chair rungs in the kitchen, bored out of his skull. Mokuba was gone, and he was left to wander--very carefully--on his lonesome. "Boooooooored..." he muttered, restraining the urge to bang his head against the table.

Seto grumbled, tapping his pen against his desk, as his airhead secretary babbled on about his assignments for today. He was half listening and half thinking about his koinu for whom he missed to death.

He nodded at his secretary, shooing her away. He began to type on his computer, but his hands would not complyall all to his brain and they typed, 'You miss Jou' over and over again.

'For Ra's sake, I just got back to work and I miss him already...or am I worried about him...maybe I'll give him a call...just to check on him...'

He picked up the phone and dialed his home number.

Jou heard the phone ring, and for lack of anything else to do, answered the phone. Well...more like hobbled to it. He was still a little...sore...and he'd enjoyed each moment of it. He grabbed the cell from the table just outside of the kitchen and flipped it up before placing it to his ear. "Kaiba residence."

"Yes, I believe I would know that...if I didn't, well, that'd be just sad." Seto teased over the phone.

He noted the dull tone to his lover's voice, "You sound bored, sweetling, don't tell me I've left you with nothing to do?"

Jou made a face at his teasing, but brightened at Seto's voice. "You did. You left me *sleeping*, nonetheless, didn't tell me goodbye, I had to rely on Mokuba for where you'd gone...and now he's off on a playdate with one of his friends, and I'm so bored, I could very happily scream my head off.." he replied with a smirk.

"I'md sorry, pup, please don't be to angry with your master..." Seto pleaded, still teashis his blonde lover. He laughed, when he could practically hear the smirk on the boy's face, "I swear when I get home, I will wipe all boredom away."

His tone was seductive, and he scowled when his secretary walked in, telling him some clients were here. He yelled curse words in a mix of japanese and egypti

an before coming back on the line, "Gomen nasai, koinu, I have to go, love you..." With that, he hung up.

Jou blushed at his words, then sighed, glancing at the phone. "Love you too.." He pouted a little, then set the phone back where he'd found it, stretching slightly and wincing. "Ouch...maybe a good hot shower...too bad there isn't a CEO to join me in it.." He grinned to himself and started upstairs for a shower.

As Jou left the room, the phone rang. A servant girl, who was quite new, answered it.

"Moshi moshi, Kaiba residence!" She bubbled.

Otogi, disguised as Yuugi, answered, "Yes, this is Yuugi Mutou, when you speak to Katsuya Jounouchi again, tell him, I called and to meet me at Domino Park."

"Okay, sir! I'll tell him, sir! Sayonara, sir!" She replied, hanging up the phone, and going about her job

When Jou came back down, refreshed, clean and feeling much better, he smiled at the new maid and waved to her. "Kitzaku-san, any calls?" he asked, hoping for something from Seto.

"Umm...only one,sir...from a Yuugi Mutou,sir...he wants to see you in Domino park, sir!" Kitzaku answered, beaming at him.

"Arigato, Kitzaku-san, I appreciate hearing that." He gave her a sunny grin and patted her shoulder pleasantly as he headed on. "I'll go meet him, then. Ja!"

"Ja, sir!" She answered, smiling brightly.

~*~

Otogi sat in the park, staring a die he had in his hands.

'Mmm..my Jou...'

Jou hummed to himself as he strolled to the park, stuffing his hands in his pockets. It would be good to see Yuugi, it'd been a while, what with everything that had happened...they did have some catching up to do..he stepped into the park entrance, looking around for the tri-colored head of his best friend.

Otogi, glancing from the corner of his eye, noticed the blonde boy enter.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't "master's" little puppy...I tell you, that man does not deserve you..."

Jou about jumped a foot off the ground at the voice, then squeaked, his eyes widening as his heart slammed to a stop in his chest. "O...O-Otogi..." he gulped, stepping back and preparing to run.

Otogi grabbed his wrist, "Don't you dare try to run. You belong to me, not that insolent dragon tamer, who has nothing to offer..." Otogi spoke, venom dripping through his words

"Dr-dragon tamer...?" Jou's breath had slimmed out to a gasp, his eyes widening as his voice petered out to a whimper. The words seemed like a catchphrase, echoing over and over in his head.

'Dragon tamer...'

'Dragon tamer...'

'Dragon tamer...'

~It'd be a shame if you and that dragon tamer were found by your brother, you know that? You'd better stay away from him, princess...or you'll regret it...~

Jou's eyes widened still more, and he yelped and yanked back. "Let GO of me!!"

Otogi jumped back, slightly. What had he said? He grabbed him again, tightening his grip, "Why should I?"

"D-don't...let GO!!" Jou nearly shrieked, breaking out of his grip and staggering back, fleeing from the park blindly.

Otogi would have chased after him but he was long out of site before he even began to run

~*~

Seto finished his documents and meetings early and headed home.

When his koinu did not heed the calling out of his name, Seto began to worry.

Jou bolted from the park, running back home instinctively, even through tears and gasping for breath as memories raged at him, turning his mind raged inside out. He only had one instinct..find Seto...or was it...Seth...?

Seto tapped his foot, pacing the in front of the gates of his mansion. If Jou found a way to escape wherever he was, this is the first place he'd come....hopefully.

'Please be alright, my koinu...'

Swift feet took him back home, gulping sobs dragging his breath before he nearly crashed into Seto, barreling into him.

Seto fell over with a hard thud, realizing soon that his koinu had knocked him over and that...he was crying?

"Sweetling, what's the matter?" His voice was calm and soothing and he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, "What happened?"

Jou whimpered, burying himself against him, into the warm embrace. "O....'togi.." he sobbed out, shaking hard.

Seto hugged him tighter, glaring in the direction Jou beunniunning from, "Bastard..."

"S....S...Seth...why...why can't he leave us alone..?" Jou asked softly, gazing at him tearfully in a sort of dazed confusion. "You're High Priest...doesn't that gain you any respect from him...?"

"What...?" Seto's features changed from worry to questioning. High Priest? Seth? What was going on, "Jou, what's wrong with you...?"

Jou blinked. "Jou? That's not my name, and you know it, Seth. Did you forget my name already..?" he smiled slightly.

"What are you talking about? Your name is Jou...Katsuya Jounouchi to be exact...you live in AD 2003, and why do you keep calling me Seth?"

Jou blinked again, his eyes holding a different shine than normal. "I don't know what you're talking about, Seth, but I suppose I can humor you. I call you Seth because you ARE Seth. The High Priest to my brother, Yami." He cocked his head lightly, his tears drying as he reached up to Seto's forehead. "Perhaps you've been working too much...to question your own name..?"

Seto pulled back a little.

"Hmmm, I'm going to call Yami..." He grabbed Jou by the wrist, gently tugging him inside and sat him on the couch, "Now..umm...stay...I'll be back." He ran off to the phone and dialed in the Kame Game Shop number.

Jou blinked after him quizically, then nodded to himself before tucking up his legs gracefully underneath him, seeming to have pulled back into his own world...the previous one, that was.

Seto growled, "Come on, someone pick up...."

~*~Meanwhile~*~

Yami was staying as far from the ringing contraption as possible, "YUUGI!! MY SWEET AIBOU!! COULD YOU COME DOWN HERE PLEASE!!!!" He was curled in a ball on a chair, eyeing the ringing box, suspiciously.

"Oh for..." Yuugi shook his head as he peered at him from the stairs. "It's a *phone*, Yami. It's not going to bite you. Honestly, I thought you would be used to it by now.." he chuckled as he headed down and grinned at Yami as he calmly answered the phone.

"Finally! Yuugi, it's me, I need to speak to Yami! Quickly..." Seto told him, frantically.

Yuugi blinked in surprise, scratching his head, then frowned. "Sure thing, hold on." He handed the phone out to Yami. "It's Seto, he wants to speak to you."

Yami took it, cautiously and put it to his ear, "H-hello?"

~*~

"Yami! Something's wrong with Jou, he keeps calling me Seth and speaking all proper and everything...I don't know what's wrong..."

~*~

"Hmm..." Yami stroked his chin, "I'll be right over..."

Yuugi blinked at Yami curiously. "Yami, what's wrong?"

Yami hung the phone up, and turned to his hikari, "Jou's acting peculiarly, Kaiba says, it sounds as if it has something to do with out pasts, I must go inspect him."

Yuugi's brows rose, and he nodded. "Alright..good luck, then.." he replied, then hugged him. "Get our Jou back.”

Yami nodded and treaded toward the door, after planting a small kiss on the boy's forehead, "I'll be back soon, don't wait up."

~*~

Seto paced back and forth in the living room, glancing at his koinu, who was currently sitting like he was wearing a dress.

'Damn it, Yami, hurry up...'

Jou watched him curiously, his head following the other's movements back and forth. "If you're waiting for my brother, it might take a while." He laughed, which almost came out as a giggle. "You know how he is, Seth."

Seto practically screamed and sat in a chair opposite from the couch. He crossed his legs(yeah thats right, like a gay man XD), one of his feet fidgeting, as it often did when he was nervous.

Jou blinked at him in startlement, both brows raising at his actions before uncurling gracefully-half his own actions, and half something else from a long time ago-and went to him, kneeling before him as he rested a hand on Seto's knee in concern. "Seth, what is the matter?"

"Gods, this isn't HAPPENING...I am so going to beat Otogi into the ground...I SWEAR..." Seto growled.

A knock at the door.

"Thank the gods!" Seto jumped out of his seat and bolted to the door.

"Kaiba."

"Yami. Come in."

Yami nodded and stepped in, looking around.

"So what seems to be the problem?" Yami inquired.

"Come and I'll SHOW you..."

Seto led Yami into the room where Jou precided.

Jou had blinked in surprise at Seto's quick movements, then uncurled from the floor and smiled pleasantly at Yami. "Brother, good to see you." His hand unfurled from his side, touching his forehead, then his heart, in the way, back then, of greeting. "I'm not sure why Seth has called you, but I'm not complaining."

Seto rolled his eyes turnturned 360 degrees, hands rested on his hips, in complete annoyance

Yami looked at him, "You must be patient..."

Yami walked to him, circling him once, "Hmm, it seems...he's trapped in the past..."

"Why?"

"It could be anything...my guess is it's something that was said or done to make him think he was Katsu'yaa'ra again..."

Seto turned to Jou, "What did Otogi say to you in the park, *Katsu'yaa'ra*."

Jou's smile dropped, and he shuddered, wrapping his arms around himself. "I don't want to talk about it.." he whispered, glancing down at the floor.

"Please..you must tell us...sister." Yami offered.

Seto nodded.

Jou whimpered softly, then managed, in a shaky voice, "I n-never told you, Seth...he threatened to tell Yami th-that we were seeing e-each other...that I w-would regret it..that I shouldn't b-be with that dr-dragon tamer if I wanted to remain safe..." He dashed a hand across his eyes, shaking slightly.

Seto's eyes softened, "Oh...shhh...it's okay...my rose, it's okay..." He wrapped his arms around him, "Shhh..."

Yami paced, stroking his chin again, "I have no clue how I'm going to get him back to normal..."

"Well, if something Otogi said that pertains to back then changed him, then maybe something new, from this time will change him back." Seto suggested, stroking the blonde's back, soothingly


Jou whimpered quietly, clinging onto Seto and burying his face against his chest.

Yami shrugged, "It's worth a shot..."

Seto nodded, "Come on, koinu...it's okay...it'll be alright..."

Jou shivered. "I hate him...why can't he simply t-take no for an answer...?"

Seto closed his eyes. He opened them again and stared at Yami.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to do, then..." Yami murmured

Seto sighed, letting go of the blonde and sitting down, groaning in a mix of anger and sadness.

Jou blinked at him in teary confusion. She liked Seth holding him, it made her feel soothed...but he and her brother seemed upset about something, and she didn't seem to be helping. Fidgeting, he looked down at his hands, his shoulders drooping. "I think I'll go lay down. See you around, brother." Looking utterly dejected, he turned and headed out of the room, heading up the stairs.

Yami made a face, "I think we made him sad..."

"I'll talk to him." Seto said, standing and heading up after him.

Jou headed back into Seto's bedroom, flopping onto the bed and curling up into a ball, hugging the pillow to his face as he closed his eyes. She didn't know what she'd done wrong, she only know that she didn't like O'togi....harsh words...harsh touch...he shivered and nuzzled deeper into the blankets.

Seto headed into the room.

"Jo--Katsu'yaa'ra?" He called.

Jou opened his eyes again as one tear dripped over his nose. "Yes, Seth..?" he asked softly.

Seto sat on the bed, taking his hands in his own, "I wish I could make you remember..." Seto laughed, "It's funny, I was frantic about getting you to remember the past, and now I'm frantic about getting you to remeber the present...but I want you to know, past, present or future, I love you." He leaned over, pressing a small kiss to his lips, "And I will never forget about you, OR deject you."

Jou blinked a little at his words, but smiled a little at the ending part, sitting up and wiping his tears away as he cuddled up against him, wrapping his arms around Seto's waist. "I'm sorry if I'm disappointing you...but I love you, too..always and forever, through Eternity." he murmured.

"I know.." He pulled the smaller person closer to him, "And you are not disappointing me...I'm just worried, that's all..."

Jou smiled, curling up into his lap. "Always worrying, Seth. You never change.." he chuckled, resting his cheek against the other's chest.

"No...I guess not..." Seto murmured, stroking the blonde hair. Then he thought of something. He pulled Jou off the bed and into the bathroom and stood him in front of the mirror, "What do you see?"

Jou blinked in curiousity at Seto's actions, then turned his head to look into the reflection. He frowned, then looked harder. "....Is this some kind of scribe pool, Seth? Some spell? I know you are capable of it..my reflection is wrong..." He poked at himself. "I'm not a boy...though sometimes, it would be much easier if I was.."

"Oh no, my love, in this life, you are very much a male." Seto grinned, "Now look at me, do you see any robes or jewelry?"

Jou narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "This is all wrong....you do not look like yourself..neither do I...I don't understand..." He lifted a hand to his head, watching his reflection do the same as his head hurt.

"Somehow, you've been trapped in the past, you are not Katsu'yaa'ra in this life, your name is Katsuya Jounouchi, and you are a male 16 year old Domino High School Student." Seto replied.

"I...but...I..." Jou whimpered and raised both hands to his head. "I...don't want to..."

"You don't want to what?" Seto asked, "You can't not be what you really are..."

"Don't..." He whimpered again, shivering. "Don't...want to...remember..."

"Please try..koinu...please try..." Seto pleaded, softly.

Jou shivered, closing his eyes as the stress of his mind became too much to bear, and he toppled over, darkness rushing up at him as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Seto held him up, before picking him up all the way, and placing him in his bed, covering him up, and kissing his forehead.

Jou whimpered lightly, then turned on sideside, curling one hand near his face as he nuzzled into the blankets.

Seto sighed and stroked the blonde hair, softly, "Remember soon, koinu..."

******

Dark eyes opened later that evening, glancing around tiredly. "Mmm..." he stretched, rubbing a hand across his eyes.

Seto was asleep, soundly, next to Jou, curled up in a ball, concealing the warmth within his body, his face was solemn and his brow was scrunched in the thought.

Jou glimpsed at Seto when he opened his eyes turning over to study him quietly. A running litany of Seto Seth Seto Seth Seto Seth ran through his mind, making his brain ache. He winced and scooted closer to Seto, nuzzling against him gently.

Seto 'mmm'ed in his sleep, turning over and draping his arms over the blonde.

He sighed lightly, cuddling up against his chest as he rubbed his cheek against him.

Seto's eyes opened half way and he smiled, "Awake, finally..."

Jou blushed as he glanced up at him, nodding quietly.

Seto stared into the brown eyes, hoping that, by some miracle, his old Jou was back. He brought a hand up to his face, stroking his cheek, softly.

Jou purred quietly, closing his eyes as he leaned into his hand. "Mmm..." he murmured, nuzzling against him.

"How are you feeling?" Seto asked. His hand did not move, though.

The dark eyes opened again, gazing up at him as he nuzzled his hand. "I..." He chewed his lip, glancing down.

Seto nodded, urging him to continue, "You...?"

"I.." Jou was still unsure of himself. The other...had so much pain..he didn't know if he wanted to go back or not..he nuzzled against him, pressing his face against his chest.

Seto sighed, pressing him closer to him with the his other hand. He brough the hand from his face and wrapped it around his back. He hoped his koinu would come back soon. He missed him.

Jou blushed against him, purring lightly as he arched against his hands in gentle pleasure. Pleasure..

~You know how pleasure is shown in the court dancers, don't you? How they move so sinuously..?" Katsu'yaa'raa asked her lover as she rested on a divan with Seth.

Seth nodded. "Yes, it's quite erotic..half of them are concubines, but some of them are maids looking for lovers.."

"I want to show you my pleasure and love.." Katsu'yaa'raa blushed, smiling at him. She giggled at Seth's shocked expression, then shifted back, her silks trailing around her as she started to move into a sinuous rhythm to show her lover just what she felt.~

Jou opened his eyes again, then smiled, sliding back from him and rising to his hands and knees.

Seto blinked, watching him. He was confused at his lover's movements, and sat up, studying him.

The blond flushed lightly and kissed his nose, then shifted back, sliding off of the bed. His arms slowly lifted over his head, arcing around him in a graceful arch as his hips moved in tandem. His bare feet slid lightly through the carpeted floor, still holding the grace of his past life form.

Seto watched him, as he moved, entranced by each graceful movement. His mouth hung slightly agape and his eyes widened a little. He did not take his eyes off the blonde.

Slim hips tilted from one side to the other in a slow roll, his arms curving over his head and down in an agile sweep, nearly twining himself into a pretzel before uncoiling, his motions as smooth as water. One leg curled high, his back arching as his head dipped, his body curving gracefully as he twirled onto the other foot, his blond hair shifting around his shoulders. His hips rocked in slow motion of some other rocking rhythm, dark eyes glinting seductively at the other.

Seto was, nearly, drooling, as he watched the other's movements. His eyes glinted with arousal and his lower areas, nearly, screamed that he was aroused. He shifted, trying to ignore his, now, growing erection.


Jou didn't ease up on his teasing seduction, one hand drawing up his chest, the other down his hip in definite come-hither motions. His breaths caught in little gasps, his body heating as he watched him. His back arched again, hips thrusting upwards as he twirled around like a top, then slowly uncurled, slowing his motions as his hands came out to rest before him. A finger beckoned, smiling coquettishly at him.

Seto stood, reaching out for him. He was very aroused by now, and, present Jou or not, in need of someone.

Chest heaving lightly, Jou didn't resist his embrace, rather melted into it, wrapping his arms around his neck and leaning up to kiss him as he pressed his body to his.

He kissed him back, bringing his hand to the back of his head, tilting it for more of the sweet taste. He fell back on the bed bringing Jou with him, as his tongue darted into Jou's mouth.

Jou moaned softly, giving him all his secrets eagerly as his body arched to meet his. He shuddered at the sensation, darting his tongue out to meet his.

Set moaned out as well, grinding himself against Jou.

A whimper rolled through the slim body at the motion, and he arched, asking for more with his body, since his mouth was currently busy.

Seto's hand found it's way down Jounouchi's pants, stroking his erection.

A muffled squeak, which rapidly turned into a rather loud moan, left the blond, and he arched against the hand, his hips pushing into him.

Seto grinned into the kiss, and squeezed his erection, a little.

Jou whimpered and shuddered, rocking his hips slightly as he kissed him fiercely, a reaction to the building-up emotions inside.

Seto used his other hand to unzip the blonde's pants, pulling them down as far as he could. The hand that was currently still in his boxers, inched them down, before using both hands to pull the shirt over his head.

Jou whimp, in, in no condition to refuse him, and in no desire to, arched his body to accomodate him, shuddering lightly at the sweet, pleasurable sensations.

Seto's lips left the other boy's and latched onto a sweet, delicate nipple, suckling it.

Jou cried out in delight, arching against him as his back bent in two. Pleasure rolled through him like a wave, and he pressed his hips into his, whimpering.

"Do you like that...?" Seto murmured, pulling back from the little nub for a split second, before locking his lips onto it's twin.

The blond nearly screamed at that, his pleasure so heightened, his body so sensitized that it was almost painful, that he was writhing against him, gasping. "Please...oh, gods, please.." he whimpered, arching his head back.

Seto didn't know which of his lover's he was showing pleasure to, so he tested, "Remember...I can be dominant too..."

"Like...I can...forget...*Seto*.....please...!" Jou breathed, arching for more mindlessly.

"J-Jou...." Seto stopped for a moment, and pulled the other close to him, "You're back, and you're probably going to hit me or something for not going any further, but at the moment, I just want to hold you..."

Dazed brown eyes gazed up at him as he whimpered slightly, his body twitching. "Ba-back..did I...go somewhere...?"

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that your back, and I'm going to make tonight worth your while..." Seto scooted off the bed, pulling Jou's pants off the rest of the way, and undressing himself, before he crawled back in and continued his ministrations on Jou's nipple.

The blond moaned in eager agreement, arching his back in pleasure, pressing into his mouth. "Ah...S-Seto...!" he breathed, shuddering as he hugged him closer, his arms resting on his shoulders and urging him for more.

The blue eyed boy grinned and detatched his lips from the nub, kissing down his stomach to his naval, where his togue darted in and out, swiftly.

Muscles contracted, and Jou mewled, writhing at the ticklish sensation. "Seto...oh gods...please...!" His head, which was already fuzzed as it was, grew more dazed at the other's minstrations, his body more heated.

Seto's hand, again, found it's way to Jou's ever growing erection, and he stroked it, in slow, lazy rhythms.

A short, sharp cry left Jou, and he bucked, crying out Seto's name in a near wail.

Seto grinned again, before his tongue darted out, and teasingly licking the head of his lover's erection.

"SETO!!" Jou cried again, arching his body as heat rushed through him like lava, and he whimpered pathetically, panting the other's name with every breath he took. "T-tease...!" he moaned, shiveri
\
"And don't you forget it..." Seto murmured, before taking all of him into his mouth, his tongue snaking around the base.

Jou screamed at that, his back coming off of the bed as heat and wetness engulfed his rigid member, feeling he could about explode. "Nnnn...! S-Seto...!" he cried out, voicing his pleasure as his body jerked.

Seto dragged his tongue up the long shaft and swirled it about the head. He knew exactly how to please his puppy.

At that moment, if he had died and gone to heaven, Jou would have died hap happy and with a smile on his face. Never had he felt such extreme pleasure that he could die from it, want even more to drive himself out of his mind. With each breath he took, he begged for more, his hands scrabbling on the bed as heat burned in his body, between his legs.

Seto let his teeth graze over him, his tongue still mingling with the head. His hands ran up and down the long, beautiful legs.

Jou squeaked and arched in delight, his body tightening more as he swallowed hard, shivering under his touches. "Seto...nnn...please...!"

Seto, again, went down on him, sucking hard, fighting to bring him over the edge.

He cried out again as the pleasure increased, then arched again before wailing Seto's name, the heat and tightness snapping like a wire cut, and he released, hard, fast, and long, pleasure overrushing him to the point of nearly blacking him out as his body quaked.

Seto drank him up, making sure not to miss a drop. He lapped the excess off of him and grinned up at him. He scooted up and kissed him, softly.

Jou whimpered softly and kissed him back, panting weakly as his head spun, nuzzling against him. "Love...you..."

"And I love you, but we're not finished yet, inu..."

Pulling open a drawer, Seto pulled out some lubricant. He coated his fingers with it and pushed one, slowly, gently, into his entrance.

Jou keened softly, spreading his legs wider as he still trembled lightly with aftershocks.

Seto took this as a good sign, and added a second, scissoring him, and spreading him.

The blond shuddered, arching his hips as his mouth fell open in a gasp. "Nnn...gods...more...Seto.." he managed to get out, his own pleasure from before working for him to block out any pain. He mewled, gazing up at him for more.

Seto nodded in compliance, and added a third finger. When he believe Jou was ready, he removed his fingers, and coated his member with lube, before thrusting into his lover.

Jou moaned in pleasure, his body arching to meet him as his arms wound around him, pressing his body to his. "Seto..."

Seto pulled himself from his lover, and pounded back in. His own arms found their way around his waist, and he groaned, at the wonderful feeling of the hot tighness of his lover around him.

A shaky, stuttering breath left the blond, and he cried out softly and arched back against him, meeting him thrust for thrust, loving the feeling he gave him, so filled and warm, the pleasure he gave him.

Seto panted, his thrusts quickening, and the heat building inside him.

Again, Jou found himself tensing, that building heat flowing through him as he whimpered Seto's name, his head thrashing lightly.

Seto thrust harder, still quickening, his eyes squeezed shut, as the heat rose, and a tenseness formed in his stomach, ready to snap at any moment.

Crying out again, Jou's body bucked as the heat boiled and the other's body raked against a certain ball of nerves that sent him writhing, and he wasn't too far long in climaxing again, clamping down his inner walls around Seto as he arched his body higher, keening out Seto's name loud and long as pleasure spun around him.

Seto cried out the blonde's name, loudly, as the clamping of his lover around him was all it took to bring him over the edge, and his seed spilled deep inside him. He did not slow his thrusts though, fixed on bringing the blonde over, too.

Jou wailed Seto's name loud enough to nearly rattle windows as his body spasmed, then released, decorating the two of them with his climax as his body arched into his, his head flung back as he clung to him. Pleasure beyond belief assaulted him, sending him to the heavens and back in Seto's arms before he sagged back to the bed, panting hard.

Seto pulled himself from his lover, and laughed lightly, noting the mess they were. He hugged Jou to him and kissed him lightly.

Jou murmured in pleasure, nuzzling against him as his arms wound about the brunette. "Seto..." he breathed in no more than a mere whisper. "I love you.."

"And I you, koinu..." Seto nuzzled him back, glad to have his puppy back in his arms.

Jou smiled up at him, reaching out his hand and twining his smaller fingers with Seto's. "Glad to hear it.." he teased softly.

Seto chuckled softly, taking the hand kis kissing it, softly.

Jou purred, watching him adoringly, dark eyes glittering at him as he reached with his other hand to trail his fingers over the other's cheek. "How did I get so lucky...in both times..I never thought I could feel so loved.."

"But you are loved, koinu..." Seto brought a slim finger, gingerly, stroking his cheek, as well, "And you will always be loved, I swear on my family's souls."

"Seto.." He leaned into his touch with a low sigh. "Ya know...I think our souls are intertwined..we loved then...love now..and most likely, love in more lives than this one.."

"I think you are right, my pup, I think you are right..." Seto murmured.

Jou smiled at him, blushing. "Most likely, I'll never get rid of that nickname in all the lives, either.." he teased, smirking.

"I'll make sure of it..." Seto grinned, nipping the delicate flesh of his lover's neck.

Jou squeaked, arching lightly into the touch. "Yeah, you get too much of a thrill out of it." he murmured, closing his eyes slowly as he nuzzled against him.

"Yes I do, but I also think its a cute...pet...name." Seto snickered at his own joke, holding his sweetling closer.

Jou groaned at the joke, then smiled and nuzzled his lips against his neck. "Hardy har har."

Seto 'mmm'ed a bit and let his hands stroke the blonde's back, absentmindedly.

Jou purred at the touch, sighing and resting against him, his hand resting once again on Seto's chest as his eyes started to close and he felt sleepy at the soothing touch. "Mmmm...love you..." he murmured, yawning slightly.

"And I love you, mutt, now go to sleep, you look exhausted." Seto kissed his forehead, tenderly, pulling the covers over them.

Jou smiled as his eyes slid shut, resting his cheek against his chest. "Mmm...you spoil me..." he mumbled before his breaths evened out, cuddling against him as he fell asleep contentedly against his lover.

"You deserve it.." Seto whispered, though he knew he beautiful lover could not hear him. Soon enough, he too, was in a deep slumber.
