HONDA POV:

--Bebebebebebebebebebebebebebeeeeeee………--

CRASH!

The loud squealing of the alarm clock woke me up so fast that I slammed my head against the bunk above me. The only response I got from the occupant was a very sleepy, VERY grumpy “Go’way.” , so I lay back, staring at the bed above mine, disconsolately rubbing my damaged forehead with one hand while the other switched off the noise-box.

Life sux.

A soft breeze stirred the dark curtains of the bedroom in Kaiba’s house, letting in glimpses of bright daylight. I could hear Yugi start snoring again in the bunk above mine, in the other bunk across the room, Bakura talked about something in his sleep.

I strained my ears a bit, listening for the other.

Nothing. I looked over in that general direction.

Otogi’s bunk’s empty.

I raised an eyebr Whe Where the hell did he get to? Shrugging, I tossed the covers aside, sliding out of the bed and stretching before quietly making my way over to the table that held our stuff. Gathering some clean clothes, I snuck across the hallway to the bathroom.

Having steaming hot water pour over me didn’t do anything to improve my rather shitty view on life. Why?

Because fuckin’ KAIBA stole my guy.

Yeah, I had a major crush on Jou since, well, forever. Not only thut hut his sister Shizuka and I had dated for a while…and SHE blew me off. What is it about me? What is it that makes every Katsuya in the universe wanna screw me over? To tell the truth, Jou is the only guy I’ve been the least bit attracted to.

Well, maybe not the ONLY guy…

I hopped out of the shower, pulling on all my clothes except for my shirt, and draped a towel over my head. As I opened the door, I ran into…

Otogi.

The owner of his own gameshop, and inventor of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Ryuji Otogi is also one of the newest members of the Yugi-tachi (as the kids in school call us). Arrogant and self-assured, him and Jou went at each other from the get-go. Little did they realize that the two of them were very similar in personality. But now the two of them get along pretty well, and to see them interact is kinda like watching twins.

Otogi DID help us during Battle City, and even stuck with us during the duels. He’s a good friend.

He raised one black eyebrow, green eyes looking at me curiously as he twirled a single strand of his long, dark hair around his finger. I could feel my face flush as I wordlessly stepped past him and made my way down the hallway.

Honda, what is wrong with you?

((((((((((((((

Honda left the mansion, pausing just to pull on his helmet and brown leather jacket before hopping on his motorcycle parked in the driveway. Riding his bike was the best way he knew how to relax. But as he gunned the powerful engine and began his ride to his favorite thinking spot, the tension refused to leave his body. Why…

The answer was simple. The strange feeling he got whenever he…

Shaking his head to dispel the disturbing thought, he careened through the streets of Domino City. This was a fucking rotten situation to be getting his feelings involved in.

Honda slowed slightly as he entered Cliff Park, entering the cool dimness of the trees and driving slowly around the curving, twisting road, and avoiding kids and parents walking the quiet path.

After a few moments of careful driving, he came to a halt beside a tall, old tree, perched pretty close to the edge of the Cliff. He parked the bike, then sat beneath the tree, among the tangled roots, removing his helmet and taking a deep, cleansing breath as he gazed over the striations that colored the small canyon.

He always felt more comfortable among stones and trees…the colors of the earth were the most soothing things to him.

People laughed behind him, walking along the cliff path. The revving of a motorcycle engine could be heard over the singing of the birds. Strangely, the bike came to a stop, and Honda could hear light footsteps approach the tree. He looked up, only to look into deep, green eyes.

“Otogi??”

(((((((((((((((((((

OTOGI POV:

Honda blinked, this jade eyes puzzled to see me. I shoved my hands into the pockets of my green, full body racing suit, and chewed on my bottom lip a little.

“Hey, Honda…mind if I sit down?”

(((((((((((((((((((

Otogi sat down beside the tree.

“What’s up, Honda, you seem depressed. You’ve got an expression on your face that would scare off a thundercloud.”

Honda just shook his head, tearing his gaze from the young man and locking his eyes on the canyon again.

“Nothing’”

Otogi rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “I’ve known you for three years. You’re lying.”

“Shut up!”

The black-haired boy jumped a little, not used to knowing his friend to be this angry. However, he couldn’t resist an opportunity to harass him. “What is it?” He asked in a teasing tone. “Are you angry because Kaiba got in Jou’s pants before you did?”

Almost instantly, Honda was on top of him, straddling his waist and pinning him to the tree. His eyes blazed with jade fire as he glared at the slightly shorter boy, fury straining every feature.

“Don’t EVER say that again.” He ground between clenched teeth.

It started as a fine trembling, a mere tremor in the earth, so small it seemed imagined. However, it grew in strength, soon becoming noticeable. Distant, far down the path, slightly startled yells could be heard, as the tree branches overhead rattled together like wooden toothpicks and small rocks went clattering down the canyon. Honda gasped, hopping off and backpedaling away from Otogi, moving dangerously close to the cliff’s edge. He was too close to the edge…one false step and down he’d go.

His eyes had darkened to a strange, unearthly black-green color.

“Honda?”

Honda shook his head, sliding backwards. “What the fuck…?” The cliff was inches away.

“NO!” Otogi yelled, diving. He grabbed Honda’s wrist just as he slid over the edge into oblivion. But Honda was deadweight, dangling like a stricken animal from his hand. Otogi was strong, but not strong enough.

Honda slid from his grasp.

((((((((((((((((((((((((

OTOGI POV:

I don’t know what my real thoughts were when he went sliding over the edge like that…but I do know that there was one, single intense thought in my mind.

“Fuck off, Death! He’s MINE!”

I felt a rush inside of me, like a roar. It exploded from every pore of my body, rose outward from me, spiraling downward toward the falling form of Honda.

It surrounded him, lifting him on the wings of the wind. I felt something open inside of me, like a door, or a flower. In that instant, I realized that I…no WE, were like Jou and Kaiba. We possessed strange powers as well… I was Wind. And Honda...he was Earth. Every confused thought I’d had fell into place, the confusing attraction, the painful questions, everything.

Honda’s body landed softly beside me, and for an instant, I could see myself in his glassy gaze, my eyes burning pale green, seconds before his eyes fluttered shut and he fell unconscious.

(((((((((((((((

HONDA POV:

I cracked my eyes open, blinking against the bright glare of sunlight. I was in an unfamiliar bed in a unfamiliar room, and a moments panic set in. But then I realized I was surrounded by a very familiar smell. A cinnamon scent that only belonged to one person…Ryuji Otogi. I tried to take a deep breath, but ended up wincing instead. My ribs fucking hurt!

“You’re awake.”

I looked up. Otogi stood in the doorway of the room, twirling his hair again.

‘What…happened? Where are we?” I asked as I tried to sit up, finally succeeding after the fifth try.

“We’re in my apartment, over my shop. And as for what happened? You almost fell off a fucking cliff, that’s what.”

“Huh?”

Rolling his eyes, he came to lean against the wall beside the bed, still dressed in his green biking clothes. “Didn’t you understand? You almost died, but I was able to pluck your sweet ass out of midair.”

I let that remark pass. “How?”

Something in his pointed elven face changed. He sighed, then sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me. When he looked at me over his shoulder, his eyes had changed to a paler, more vibrant green.

“As if you don’t know?” A soft breeze moved through the room. Suddenly, I felt it. The irresistible pull that I’d only heard about once before, a pull that only meant one thing.

Before either of us really realized it, I had pulled his face to mine and was kissing him. Our tongues and teeth did fierce battle with one another, and I felt the barrier within me fall. Bright light exploded around us, intensely green, much like Jou had described.

We pulled apart, gasping. My jeans had grown uncomfortably tight.

“Well, it took you long enough. Do you know how long I’ve waited for you to get over Jou?”

I looked up at him. His expression had changed. His normally arrogant demeanor had vanished. The boy looking at me now only had desire in his eyes, and power.

“It’s about time.” He whispered, reaching behind his head to remove his hairtie, allowing his black hair to curl over his shoulders.

(((((((((((((((

Honda laughed, flipping Otogi onto his back and straddling his hips. The brown-haired boy grinned down at him, a fiercely feral look growing in his jade eyes.

“Damn right.”

They kissed again, and Honda buried his hands in the silken strands of his hair, running burning hot kisses down Otogi’s neck. The slender boy yelped helplessly, bucking against him. Catching his hands and pinning them above his head with one hand, Honda began to slowly pull the zipper of the racing suit down with the other.

“Anything on under here?”

Otogi just glared and bucked again. Honda laughed, his voice a full three octaves lower. He paused it the zipper undone to his belly button.

“HONDA…” Otogi protested.

“Patience is a virtue. God this suit is a turn on.” Honda purred, running his tongue along the edge of his ear as he ran his hand over the bare skin of his chest, lightly pinching the nipple he came across.

“Damn it!” Otogi moaned.

Honda let go of his hands to remove his shirt. Otogi’s hands fumbled at the fastener of his jeans, and in seconds the jeans and underwear joined the shirt on the floor. Honda winced…his ribs hurt like hell, but the moment Otogi took his erection in his hands all the pain was forgotten. Honda moaned, thrusting against the clever hands.

“Mmmm…like that?” Otogi asked, sitting up just enough to shove Honda backwards. He fastened his mouth around his length, and is mere seconds Honda came with a scream. Otogi swallowed every bit.

“Ah ah ah…” Honda gasped, sitting up and kissing Otogi. “We’re not through yet!”

Honda very slowly peeled off the rest of the racing suit, taking Otogi’s boxers with it. Just the sight of the slender body spread across the bed got him hard again. He lightly licked his nipples, smiling when his lover cried out, and made his way down his flat stomach, dipping his tongue into his navel, but stopping before he reached the center of his desire.

Otogi reached underneath his pillow, pulling out a small tube. Honda grinned, taking the lube.

Suddenly, Otogi found himself on his stomach with his ass in the air. He screamed as Honda took his erection in hand, pumping. He paused only to slick up his fingers with lube before resuming. Otogi panted, then screamed as he slid one, then two, fingers inside his opening, pumping along with his other hand.

Honda carefully prepared him, trying not to hurt him.

“Hoonnnndaaaaa…” Otogi moaned, grinding against his hand.

“What do you want?” He whispered, removing his fingers and gripping his hips.

“I want youuuu…”

“Want me to…?”

“FUCK ME, GODDAMN IT!!” Otogi screamed, and Honda thrust deep inside of him.

Kissing the back of his neck, Honda thrust in and out of Otogi’s tight opening, as his other hand pumped his erection in time. Panting, his lover thrust to meet him, screaming when he changed angle to hit those special little bundles of nerves. Brilliant green light exploded around them, beating in time to their joined heartbeats and joined bodies. Otogi came, spraying his seed all over the bed, and Honda joined him moments later with a loud scream. The light shattered into a million brilliant shards as the pair collapsed, still joined together.

“What…the…hell??” Honda panted, sweat standing on his skin.

“Remember what Kaiba and Jou described?” Otogi asked breathlessly, shuddering with the delicious effect of aftershock. “I think whatever just happened…”

The brown-haired boy gently disengaged from Otogi’s body. The smaller boy flipped over to look at him, and Honda very gently brushed a strand of sweat-soaked hair out of his face.

“So we’re soulmates?”

Otogi nodded. Honda smiled, then pulled his lover’s sticky body up against his. “Well, then, I don’t mind.”

(((((((((((((

Early afternoon fell golden over Domino City, but there ere some who did not see the light. In an empty warehouse by the docks, a black shadow moved. It glided along the back wall of the abandoned facility, pausing at a particular spot, reaching a hand up to press a particular brick. A section of the wall slid silently open, behind it a staircase that spiraled down into darkness.

The figure descended, no light in hand, coming to a stop finally before a door, inscribed with worn hieroglyphics. The door swung open with only a touch, revealing a void of blackness.

“Lewhte.”

Instantly, torches flared to life, illuminating a large, circular chamber, empty save for a raised pedestal in the center. The one who gave the command threw aside its concealing cloak, revealing the tall girl.

Her long, curling brown hair s bound high atop her head in a ponytail, and her garb was much like the gown of an Egyptian, made of black linen, draped around her body in such a way that her arms were left bare. The skirt was slit on both sides from hem to mid-thigh. Golden bangles covered both wrists, tinkling musically, a wide gold choker set with amber and lapis surrounded her throat, and a golden belt set with the same stones bound the black fabric close to her waist. Golden earrings in the shape of anhks dangled from her ears, and her green-gold eyes were expressionless, cold as cut peridot. In her hand rested the golden wheel.

She approached the pedestal, the click of her gold woven sandals echoing eerily in the expansive space. A depression was in the top of the marble, and in it she placed the wheel.

A bright light exploded from the wheel, shooting up toward the ceiling. Faces appeared in the light, displaying the Guardian’s identities.

“So…two more awaken, the total is now four.” She declared in her melodious voice. “And four yet remain…however, only two truly live? That is easily remedied.”

There was a long, silver handled knife strapped to her left thigh. Raising the blade high in the air, she drew the edge across the palm of her hand, dripping crimson blood on top of the golden wheel. The pillar of light changed, stained red by her blood. Removing a second, gold handled blade from the scabbard attached to her right thigh, she turned the blade toward her heart. The steel seemed to shimmer, and as she plunged it into her chest, it dissolved like mist. When she removed the knife, a thin, gray liver of mist followed the blade: it was a portion of her soul.

She touched the soul-fragment to the wheel as well, and the color of the light changed from red to white. She raised herce ice in a chant.

“Oh, souls, two to one, become two once more, separate from thy prison, cleave the body in twain, release yourselves into the light of day! I, Bastet of the Void, command you!”

((((((((((

Yugi was walking home from school alone when the pain hit, like a flash of searing fire. He screamed, falling to his knees and clutching himself, as if to keep his soul inside. In his mind, he could hear the pained cries of Yami as his soul was cleaved in two.

There was a blinding flash, then nothing. He was floating, falling in darkness. Falling…

((((((((((

When he finally came to his senses, he was sprawled across the sidewalk, with a heavy weight atop him. The weight gave a loud groan of pain, shifting slightly. Yugi blinked.

Violet eyes met crimson.

“Y…Yami!”

(((((((((((
