What Once Was

A/N: Thank you for your concerns, but I am fine. Actually, I am lucky that to get away with so little injury. One broken headlight and a scratch on the car that I do not have to pay for, a nose which has been broken and has healed before, and a worsened TMJ condition which can be controlled. For those of you who don’t know TMJ is a stress disorder dealing with the temporomandibular joint that limits vertical jaw movement. More specifically, there is a disc made of cartilage between the jaw and the skull where the jaw connects and that disc in my joint is displaced so every time I try to open my mouth the joint goes against the disc instead of under it and creates more pressure, so I can’t open my jaw too wide. When I am under stress or when I put a lot of pressure on my jaw, it worsens and sometimes it gets to the point where I can’t move my jaw at all, much less chew, because of the pain. But luckily, there are pain killers and muscle relaxants available for patients with TMJ. But the muscle relaxants make me so sleepy and drowsy. I took one yesterday and I don’t even remember how I fell asleep. All I know is that I didn’t wake up until noon today. I guess it’s good for my insomnia, though.

Chapter 6


Seto Kaiba went to his room to relieve himself and decided to stay there. Mokuba was playing with the boys so he wouldn’t notice that his big brother wasn’t around, and Seto could really use some alone time.

The day’s events puzzled him. Yami was no longer pharaoh so he had no use pleasing him anymore. So why be nice to him? It couldn’t all be guilt. He had done much worse to many other people, destroying their whole lives, and he didn’t’ feel the least bit guilty about that.

So why did he kiss Yami back?

On the other hand, he had also kissed Ryou, and Ryou had kissed him back. There was no denying that the albino liked him. But did he really like Ryou or did he just like the fact that Ryou looked so much like Bakura?

But Ryou wasn’t like Bakura.

Speaking of Bakura, Kaiba could sense the other’s presence in his room. It was something he had learned to do after Bakura, one cold, Egyptian night, had suddenly reappeared.

“We need to talk,” came the thief’s voice from the window.

Kaiba looked at the window and saw Bakura sitting there, on the ledge, staring at him with those red eyes. Oh, how he had missed having those all-seeing eyes upon him.

Seth walked back to his room, tired from the day’s activities. Every time that there had to be a tribute paid to the gods, he would have to be present. He resented that. If the gods were that mighty, why should they care if he was there or not?

With a deep sigh Seth carefully put away his millennium rod along with all his jewelry. He quickly ridded himself of his headpiece and cloak, and dropped in his bed, closing his eyes. He could have done so many productive things with his time today.

“Hey there.”

Blue eyes snapped open at the unexpected noise. Seth quickly stood up, ready to defend himself. He froze as his gaze traveled to the window. Seated on the cold stone was Bakura, with his white hair even longer now, his red eyes staring right into Seth’s soul.

“So, you are the high priest now, huh?”

With nonchalance Bakura jumped inside, exploring Seth’s room.

“Not bad. Not bad at all.”

“Bakura.” His former lover’s name barely came out of his mouth. Seth was mesmerized. Bakura had disappeared six years ago. He thought he would never see him again.

“Miss me?” Bakura asked, grinning.

Before Seth could come up with a reply, Bakura pressed his lips against the priest’s. Seth instinctively opened up his lips to grant Bakura access, though his mind was still trying to make sense of it all.

Soon enough Seth’s brain was functioning again and he pushed Bakura away. Not to misunderstand him, he wanted Bakura, but not before he got some answers.

“Where have you been?”

“Around.” Bakura was getting annoyed. If anyone found out that he was here, he would be killed in a matter of seconds. He had just missed taking Seth and he was here strictly was sex, and not to catch up.

Seth couldn’t believe the answer Bakura was giving him. He hadn’t seen the boy… erm… man for six years now and the other just thought that things could go back to being the way they were just like that?

Then again, looking at Bakura’s strong muscles, his tanned skin, those hungry red eyes…

Before he knew it, they were kissing again, and this time Seth didn’t push Bakura away. There would be plenty of time to ask him questions after sex.

Seth’s lips parted to allow Bakura to explore his mouth fully with his tongue. Soon, though, Bakura’s lips were on Seth’s neck. The thief bit down on a spot making his mark there, then assuaging the irritated spot with his tongue. He intended to mark Seth as his own once again.

Seth’s hands traveled up Bakura’s exposed chest, exploring his muscles. His hands grabbed the strong shoulders as Bakura bit him in an especially sensitive spot. Bakura knew his body well.

Seth’s hands continued their path over Bakura’s shoulders, removing his cloak. He bit Bakura’s shoulder, determined to make his own mark there.

Seth’s head rolled back, a low groan escaping from his throat, as Bakura grabbed his ass, squeezing one of his cheeks. He desperately needed those fingers to travel just a little bit more towards the center.

Bakura stepped away for a second, red eyes meeting blue, before he ripped off Seth’s clothing, throwing the priest on his back onto the bed. Removing his own clothing Bakura climbed on top Seth, kissing him passionately on the lips before moving down and taking a nipple in his mouth, biting it slightly, perhaps a bit harshly, before assuaging the pain with his tongue.

Bakura’s hand traveled down, grabbing Seth’s already fully erect cock. He was moving things along too fast, but he hadn’t seen Seth for years and if anyone saw him there, he would never see Seth again. Besides from the look on the priest’s face, the other didn’t seem to mind.

Seth closed his eyes, bit his lip, threw his head back, and arched his back as Bakura’s lips traveled down his abdomen, that mischievous tongue gently, tantalizingly so, licking the precum.


Seth felt like he was flying through time. It was as if Bakura had never left. He gathered his thoughts long enough to reach the salve that he kept by his bed, handing it over to Bakura and spreading his legs.

Bakura smirked as Seth spread his legs, waiting patiently for him to take action. Grabbing the salve, Bakura applied to his throbbing erection and entered Seth without any preparations.

Seth grit his teeth together as Bakura’s entered him. No one had taken him Bakura and he was sure that the initial penetration would draw blood. But he didn’t care. In a matter of seconds Bakura had found that magical spot in side his that made his vision go white and at that moment nothing else mattered.

Bakura was surprised at how tight Seth felt. So the priest hadn’t let anyone else take him. That thought made Bakura uncharacteristically satisfied. He pulled out and slammed back in again, enjoying the little sounds that escaped Seth’s lips. At this rate, he wouldn’t last long.

Seth moaned loudly as Bakura applied some more salve to his fingers, grabbing his dick, and quickly bringing him to orgasm. The extra tightness around his own erection brought Bakura to his orgasm as well, and he collapsed on top of Seth.

Then, as reality hit him once more, he quickly got up, got dressed and went towards the window. He dared one glance back at a confused high priest, before saying, “I’ll be back.”

Red eyes locked onto blue ones, burning into Seth’s soul, and in the next second Bakura was gone.


Seto Kaiba stared into those red eyes. He had missed Bakura. Seth had found out shortly after that Bakura was the King of Thieves that had vowed revenge on the pharaoh. But he didn’t care. There was the guilt in him of sleeping with the man that had vowed to kill the only other man that he had shared his bed with, but he wasn’t planning on giving up sex with Bakura any time soon.

“Come on in,” Kaiba replied. Somehow he doubted that today Bakura wanted sex.


Sorry to cut this short. But I have to go to the doctor. I will probably update tomorrow after I update my other story.

Don’t forget to review!
