From Rivals to Lovers

Chapter 7

* * *

(Morning came:)

Kaiba was up first as usual, he grabbed his clothes for the day and headed off to the bathroom to shower. He sighed as he stepped in and turned the water on. He pondered on the thought of someone breaking in.

'No... I tightened security last month...' He sighed as he clenched a fist. 'Why am I so worried about that damn bonkotsu so much?!'

Jounouchi had just woken up back in Kaiba's room, he sat up with a yawn and stretch. He looked around a moment and shivered. He was in the CEO's room, so he wondered what was bothering him so much. He was safe right? The brunet would never allow intruders in the mansion.

'Oi... What's with me...? I feel weak all of a sudden... Since when did I need that asshole's protection?!' He paused a moment, pulling his knees up to his chest and shuddered at the thought of someone breaking in. 'I use to be in a gang and fight... So why is it that I need some pompous jerk's protection?!'

Soon Kaiba's shower was done and he was dressed, he left the bathroom and headed back to the bedroom. He couldn't believe his eyes when he entered the room. Jounouchi was curled up and shaking. Apparently he was still bothered about last night. The brunet actually hoped it was something silly like a ghost.

"It was probably your imagination, Jounouchi..." He said as he sat on the bed beside the other. "Well...there was a death that took place in this mansion, so that's probably it..." He smirked before placing an arm around the younger male.

Jounouchi just shrugged off the older male's arm and looked up at the other with a glare. "Stop joking...!" A sigh came from him as his look softened and he faced the window. "What if... What if someone broke in...?"

The CEO shook his head at the thought. "No! The security was tightened last month...!" The brunet forcefully grabbed the blond by his arm and turned him to face him. "I don't want you throwing around that idea! Especially since Mokuba is coming home in a few days...!"

Silence came between the two teens, each one glaring at each. Suddenly Jounouchi was pulled into Kaiba's embrace. The blond's eyes widened at this as the brunet's arms held him protectively. A soft sigh left the CEO's mouth, one arm held the smaller male and his free hand gently stroked the others soft blond hair.

"I'd feel a whole lot better if you thought a ghost was roaming around the mansion..."

A tear fell down Jounouchi's cheek as he buried his face into Kaiba's shoulder. "I apologize... I'm acting foolish and yet you took me in... I don't want what you already did for me to be in vain..."

The brunet shook his head softly as he held the blond tighter. "I guess you're not use to sleeping in a new house yet. It's probably the settling is all."

'I feel completely stupid... I pissed him off and made him worry...' He mentally cursed himself for a second before sighing. 'I should be grateful that Kaiba is putting up with me, that he gave me a place to stay, that he pulled me away from my old home... I'm such a brat...'

The CEO had no idea why he was holding Jounouchi so close or even holding him at all. What shocked Kaiba more was that he actually was comforting the other and speaking to him in a soft manner. It's not like the brunet hasn't done this before. In fact, when Mokuba was still a child and Kaiba was a young teen, he could remember clearly that the little boy would come running to his room upset about sleeping alone, a thunder storm, or the classic case of the boogieman under his bed.

'This is weird... I'm comforting someone who is only a year younger than me...' A ping of guilt was piercing the CEO. His hold on the blond tightened more. 'Why am I so compelled to holding him like this...? When I think of it now, he's really nothing but a child who needs to be cared for...'

Jounouchi gently broke off the hold the brunet had on him and looked away. He sighed as he hung his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Kaiba... I'm acting like a fool even though you took me in..."

Kaiba softly shook his head and gave a small faint smile. "It's fine, Jounouchi... Just don't think about it so much." The CEO stood up and headed towards the bedroom door.

This caused the blond to stand up as well as he then shot a glare at the brunet. "Hey! Y-You're leaving already...!"

Kaiba gave the blond a glare right back. "Yes. I do have work to do. I can't stay here and babysit a 17 year old boy."

"You're such an asshole!" Retorted Jounouchi angrily. 'What's with me?! I shouldn't need his protection nor should I be acting like such an ungrateful brat...!'

Kaiba turned his back to the younger male and took two steps forward. "Get the hell over it, makeinu!" And with that the brunet headed downstairs and out the front door. 'Just a moment ago I was comforting... Perhaps I was a bit too harsh...'

"Fucking asshole..." The blond muttered as he headed downstairs for breakfast.

The chefs had already made breakfast and today's breakfast was scrambled eggs, toasts, and bacon. The blond cheered up quickly as he began eating his meal. He paused a moment to think for a second. Thankfully today was a Sunday, yesterday was Saturday. He sighed softly before resuming back to eating his wonderful breakfast that laid out before him. Kaiba's food tasted the best out of all the food he has ever eatened.

'Maybe I could get that jerk to let me stay home from school tomorrow... I'm not ready to go back just yet. Tuesday will be fine.'

Once he finished breakfast he raced upstairs to take a shower and changed into an outfit.

* * *

"Oi... There is nothing to do in this god damn mansion...!" He grumbled in annoyance as he sat on the sofa. The T.V. was running in the background but the blond quickly shut it off. "I never thought I'd say this but... T.V. has gotten so boring..." He sighed as he laid down on the sofa. "I sometimes wonder how Mokuba or Kaiba could deal with the boredom..."

He stared up at the ceiling lost in thought. The maids were busy dusting or doing laundry which the blond found very cliche. Jounouchi noticed two of the maids giggling and whispering to one another. He arched a brow in question as they continued to whisper. Eventually they went back to work after a minute.

Soon lunch was ready and the blond found himself back in the dinning room to eating his lunch. Today's lunch was grilled salmon served with white rice. Surprisingly the blond gobbled this up as well, he very muched enjoyed and had no complaints. Then again, he never had a complaint against food at all. Even when he was eating the disgusting canned food back at his old home. Once he finished consuming his lunch, he decided he would take a nap in his bedroom.

The blond plopped himself down onto his bed and stared at the ceiling for a bit. There was nothing to be afraid during the day he thought to himself as his eyes slowly began to close. Besides, Kaiba had told him that security tightened up last month. He let out a small soft sigh before drifting off to sleep in his bed. Not too long a blushed made its way to his face as he thought about this morning and the CEO holding him so protectively.

'Why am I blushing and thinking about Kaiba...?' He tried to shake off the blush and this overwhelming feeling he had. 'We're rivals. We're guys. Haha! Who am I trying to convince here, really...?'

* * *

It was a quiet and peaceful day at Kaiba Corp. No hackers, no computer crashes, no idiotic employess bursting through the door in a panic about something. Kaiba was actually pleased with this day so far. Lately, he's been planning on putting a Kaiba-Land in two new locations. He was certain about placing one in France. On the second location for Kaiba-Land he was still deciding on. He couldn't make up his mind if he wanted a Kaiba-Land in Italy or in Germany. He also remembered he had to do updates on his computer system as well.

Suddenly a knock came to his door and on top his office phone went off. He looked up to the man who entered his office. "What is it?"

"The staff and I was wondering if you could stay a little later tonight." The man said as he approached the desk. "We're going to have a short meeting. It wouldn't take too much of your time, sir."

"One moment." Said Kaiba as he raised a hand and then went to pick up his office home. "Good morning. You have reached Kaiba Corp." He spoke so firmly with certainty. "Kaiba speaking. How may I assisst you?"

"Nii-sama, you're so formal as always." A small but bright voice said. It was Mokuba who had called the brunet. It was quite strange too, he wondered what his brother would want.

"Mokuba...?" He asked with concern. "Why are you calling?"

"Oh, right." Mokuba said with a small laugh. "The camping trip ended early, so I'll be coming home later today."

"Really?" Kaiba asked a bit curiously. "How come?"

"My friend's grandmother is sick in the hospital, so my friend decided to end the trip so he could see her" replied the younger boy.

"I see..." He sighed and paused a moment. He really couldn't stay late now, Mokuba was coming home and he also had a guest to look after. "Mokuba, listen. Don't be too shocked but..." The CEO hesitated for a moment.

"But what, nii-sama?" Asked the concerned younger boy.

"We have a guest who will be living with us so-"

Mokuba just had to cut off his own brother. In which many cases is that rare for him to do. "Say no more, nii-sama. It's fine. But who is staying with us then...?"

"Jounouchi Katsuya..." After Kaiba responded silence fell between the two brothers. "You still there, Mokuba?"

"I am..." The raven hair youth was a bit taken aback at the news but eventually came over it. "Well I am glad you two are getting along then. Honestly, you two are like those boys in those BL mangas who are in denial for each other." The younger Kaiba giggled as he spoke this.

"Don't say such foolish things, Mokuba..." A sigh came from the brunet before he continued to talk. "I will be home early tonight to see that you get home safely."

"Alright then, I'll see you when you get home then, nii-sama." The young boy said but when he spoke the word 'nii-sama', it was in a sing-song manner.

Kaiba groaned slightly in annoyance and then sighed. "Alright, see you tonight." Both brothers hung up and then the brunet turned to face his employee. "I'm sorry but I can't work late tonight and stay for this meeting you planned. I have a guest to attend to and on top of it, my little brother is coming back home from his camping trip."

The man bowed respectfully and then looked back at Kaiba. "I understand then, sir. I'll let the other employees know. We'll just have to post-pone for now."

"I appreciate that." Said the CEO that was followed by a sigh of relief. 'Honestly, what the hell has Mokuba been reading lately? Saying such odd things like that...?'

The man left Kaiba's office and went back to his to do his work. The brunet sighed and leaned back in his chair as he placed a hand over his eyes, groaning in annoyance again. He rested his eyes for a bit as he stayed in this position. His thoughts now were concentrating on this morning. Kaiba could still remember everything that occured. He remember the warmth he felt when he held the blond so protectively. The CEO remembered Jounouchi trembling in his arms for those few mere seconds. His thoughts then trailed to what Mokuba just said moments ago. A faint and small blush somehow made its way onto his face.

'No! It's simply nothing like that at all. We're rivals. We're both men on top of it all. So then why...am I so worked up...on this matter...?'

* * *

Soon time rolled by and it went from noon time to the later afternoon. Somehow someone had actually managed to break into the Kaiba mansion. Luckily for Mokuba he hadn't gotten home yet. But unfortunately for Jounouchi he was stuck with the intruder. And even though somehow had broken in, none of the maids, butlers, or servants heard any intrusive sound. As for the blond, he was sound asleep and in deep sleep too. None of the security guards even saw anyone try to sneak in by the front, then again who would. So how did the person manage to get into the mansion? The back of the mansion was guarded too. Could someone had broken in at night and been hiding? It was uncertain how. The mansion was even guarded at night.

The man who somehow managed to sneak into the mansion without being seen had been hiding somewhere upstairs. He now slowly made his way around the hall, checking each room to see if there was anyone in a room. There was no one in the other three spare rooms, no one in Mokuba's room, no one in the bathroom and no one in Kaiba's room. There was only one room left to check, the room that neighbored Kaiba's room. The door slowly crept opened and the man looked inside only to find a sleeping blond boy in the bed. A sinister and dark smirk made its way onto the man's face. He slowly approached the bed where Jounouchi was sleeping.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
(A/N: " * * * " means that the scene switches. Not sure if some of you readers know or not. I know it's late to bring it up but I thought I should let you guys know.)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The man quietly sat on the bed where the sleeping blond laid. The younger male was turned from sleeping on his side to now laying on his back. A pair of hands gently slipped off the teen's shirt and tossed it onto the floor somewhere. Jounouchi who was fully unaware of this shivered a bit then unconsciously blushed as he felt his chest being caressed. A thumb brushed lightly over one of his nipples which was soon followed by it being tweaked in a teasing manner. The blond couldn't help but let out a faint gasp.

* * *

(Dream mode:)
Jounouchi's dream started out with him hanging with Yugi, Anzu, and Honda down at the arcade. Then it switched to him and Kaiba arguing yesterday morning on the stairs. He could still remember it clearly, the brunet had him pinned against the wall. Their faces merely centimeters apart. Suddenly his dream went from them arguing and fighting to Kaiba leaning in very closely and giving the blond a kiss. Jounouchi's cheeks flushed a bright shade of pink. The brunet softly broke the kiss for a moment only to go and kiss him again except it was a French kiss time. He couldn't help but let out a moan into that kiss. No words were spoken the entire time and the younger male shivered out of sheer pleasure.

Suddenly he felt Kaiba's hand creep up and groped his groin, gently massaging it. Jounouchi pulled away from the kiss and let out another moan.

"Oi... K-Kaiba..." He gasped and then moaned more as the brunet's hand fondled him. "Wh-Where are you touching...?"

No response came from the CEO instead another hand trailed over his chest and soon his nipple was being played with again. Jounouchi shivered even more as his cheeks turned from bright pink to crimson red. He couldn't believe it, they were making out on the stairs. Even if it was a dream, it felt all too real. Kaiba then shifted his head down to where the other blond's nipple was and began to lick and suck on it.

"N-Nnngh... K-Kaiba..." He gasped as he made little effort to struggle as he grasped onto the brunet's back. "S-Stop... N-No more..."

Kaiba then trailed his tongue down from his nipple down his stomach and down to his length which by now has hardened. This caused the younger male to roll his head back and arch himself into the older male's hold. Small kisses were placed on his length, soon the CEO managed to slip off his the blond's jeans and boxers. And somehow earlier back when they were just kissing, the older male managed to slip off his shirt as well.

The brunet then shifted himself back up and whispered into Jounouchi's ear. "Oh... You're already hard." His voice was a lot deeper and a bit rough. "You're such a little whore."

Realization hit the blond and his eyes widened out of fear and anger. This wasn't Kaiba at all, the whole time it was a dream. The voice didn't belong to the CEO but to some strange man. The image of the brunet faded out and was replaced by a dark silhouette of a man. A much taller and bigger man. That is when this dream ended.

* * *

Jounouchi opened his eyes was face to face with the taller and bigger man. He began to struggle against the man's hold with all of his strength. But apparently the other male's hold was a lot stronger and tighter on him. The blond also took notice that he was completely naked. And while the whole time he was sleeping and dreaming, he was being molested by this perverted man. Both of his were placed behind his back as the man used the bed sheets to bind his arms behind his back. He then had Jounouchi face down on the bed with him propped up on his knees, his rear end up in the air. An arm slipped around his waist as a hand wrapped around his hardened length and roughly began stroking him more.

"L-Let go of me ya creep!" As Jounouchi said this he then let out choked moan. 'Shit...! Wh-Why is 'this' happening again?!'

Another hand suddenly began roughly massaging his ass. Tears streamed down his angered face as he shuddered in disgust as the man continued to caress and roughly massage his rear end. The other hand continued to roughly stroke the younger teen's length.

'Sh-Shit! I-I think I'm going to...' He shuddered violently as he felt himself come.

Jounouchi suddenly felt his entranced being rubbed with two fingers. He turned his head the other way, hiding his face. He was already beginning to pant as those two fingers trail around his entrance. Soon those two fingers forcefully found its way inside of his hole. His muscles tightened as he felt those two finger massaging the walls and slide in and out. The blond bit down hard on his lip, suppressing a moan as he continued to shudder.

The old man chuckled darkly with a smirk. "Feels like you're ready, eh..."

* * *

The car ride back from the camping trip took a lot longer than Mokuba thought. He and his friend were joking and laughing the whole way back. It was mainly Mokuba making innocent jokes about his brother, he was trying to cheer his friend up.

"Mokuba you're really funny." The shorter boy said with a giggle.

"Oh? You really think so, Satoshi?" The taller boy asked with a big grin.

"Yeah! I bet you make your brother laugh all the time with your silly jokes."

Mokuba just shook his head and gave his best Kaiba face. "He tells me this 'Mokuba, don't say such foolish things'. And He barely smiles let alone laughs."

"Eh? Is he always that serious?" Asked Satoshi with a disappointed look on his face.

"Yeah, he usually is..." The raven hair boy replied with a sigh.

"Tch. Bummer..." Said the smaller boy with ashen blond hair.

Mokuba nodded his head. The van they were in slowly pulled up to the Kaiba mansion, both Satoshi and Mokuba's jaws dropped at the sight they stood there before them. Both Satoshi's parents looked worried and concerned at the scene that was displayed before then. There was three cops lined up outside of the mansion.

Mokuba hurriedly ran out of the van and up to one of the security guards to see what happened. Isono quickly approached Mokuba when he saw him running up. The raven hair boy got a pale look on his face as he gave Isono a concerned look.

"Isono, what happened here?!" He asked worriedly as he tugged on the sleeve of the man's suit jacket. "Why are there cops here?!"

The man in the suit hesitantly sighed before kneeling down to Mokuba's height. "Someone broke into the mansion... And there was an attack on that young boy that is staying at the mansion, master Mokuba..."

"Jounouchi!" He cried out worriedly, his smaller body shook violently out of fear.

The raven hair youth suddenly noticed Isono's expression stiffened and his face grew pale. He wasn't sure how he was going to explain this situation to Kaiba. Both Mokuba and the bodyguard watched as Kaiba's car pulled up slowly, their eyes widened.

As soon as the brunet parked his car he quickly leaped out and sped walk over to both Mokuba and Isono. "What the hell is going on here?! Why are there cops here?!"

The younger Kaiba brother just winced at his brother's harsh tone. Isono kept his cool and remained composed. "There was a break in, master Kaiba. Someone attacked that young boy as well. Apparently a maid heard what was going on and immediately called the police, sir..."

The CEO just brushed pass both the bodyguard and his little brother. Both his fist were clenched tightly as he quickly made his way to the mansion. Just as Kaiba was about to open the front door and go inside. Two cops were dragging the man outside the mansion and into one of the police cruisers. And even though rage was building up at this very moment, the brunet kept his cool and turned to face the third cop who approached him.

"Did anything severe happen, officer?" He asked calmly with a hint of concern in his voice.

"The boy was sexually molested but we came just in time before anything else could happen..." responded the police officer.

(A/N: I know I said after the last chapter I would update right after that one but I got writer's block again. And I usually get all my creative ideas from the Yaoi's I watch or the Yaoi mangas I read. So I give credit to those ideas I get. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Also, hopefully chapter 8 will either be up by the end of this week or sometime next week. Bear with me peeps!)
