When tempers flare

When tempers flare.


“Man Yami,” Jou exclaimed after school. “Wads wit’ Kaiba? Always askin’ ya ta duel. Can’t he take da hint dat he ain’t gonna beat ya.”
“Well I guess he just wants to try.” The spirit of the puzzle sighed.
“But he asks you almost every week to duel.” Honda said. “I think that goes to the point of obsession.”
“Although you wouldn’t mind if he was obsessed with you, would you Yami?” Bakura whispered into his ear.
“What the fuck are you on about?” Yami hissed back.
“Come on Yami. You don’t have to hide it from me.” Yami sighed. As much as he hated to admit it Bakura had a point. The two spirits had by some strange way become very close friends. Yami summed it up to the fact that they were the only 5000-year-old people on the planet.
“Am I that easy to read?” Yami sighed.
“Only to me.” The thief king said.
“Does anyone else have a funny feeling about this duel?” Anzu asked. She had hated the fact that Kaiba challenged Yami every Friday to a duel. It meant that he spent less time with the group and her.
“Why would you say that Anzu?” Ryou asked.
“Well doesn’t Kaiba normally duel Yami at Kaiba land and not at his house?” She said as they started their walk to the game shop. “And he normally lets us go with Yami.”
“You know something.” Bakura said. “He could be busy with something. You know since he owns a company and all.”
“But he could still have let us come.” Anzu continued.
“Yeah well he didn’t. So deal with it.” There was the Bakura we all know and love.


Yami had changed out of his school clothes and was standing in front of the game shop. Bakura and Yugi had helped him pick out his clothes. It was a bit more revealing then he would normally wear but he had an excuse. The gang was going to be going out and if the duel took longer then expected then he would meet them there.
“Well good luck pharaoh.” Bakura said.
“He don’t need luck.” Jou said. All Bakura did was smirk at the blonds ignorance. Only Yugi and Bakura knew about the fact that Yami had feelings for Kaiba and tonight he was going to try and seduce the iceman.
/You look great/ Yugi told him through the link.
//I feel a bit strange. What if it doesn’t work.//
/Yami just duel him while at the same time try to show some skin/
//I’m doomed.//
“Well you should get going if you want to be on time.” Ryou said. Yami nodded pulling on his jacket.


“Seto!” Mokuba called to his older brother before turning to his friend. “He should be coming Yami. Why don’t you hang your jacket up so long?”
The spirit smiled at the young boy as he took off his jacket. He had just hung it up when a tall figure descended the stairs.
“Hello Yami.”
“Kaiba.” Yami returned the greeting while trying to not drool. There stood Seto Kaiba in form fitting black leather pants and a tight polo neck sleeveless shirt.
“Well big brother I’m going to go.” Mokuba said before giving his brother a hug and bouncing out the door.
“So shall we start the duel.” All Yami could do was nod.


“I play Kuriboh in defence mode alone with the card Multiply.” Yami told his opponents.
‘Great now what do I do?’ Kaiba thought to himself. ‘There is no way I can beat those little fur balls. I could always forfeit. No I can’t that is not Kaiba like and I wouldn’t want Yami to think that I’m getting soft or something. Although for him I may specially if he is in those tight leather pant and top he’s wearing right now.’
“Kaiba it’s your move.” Yami had begun to worry about the brunette since he had been standing there with a blank look on his face.
“Huh. Oh right.” That’s weird.
“Kaiba are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” The billionaire snapped.
“Jezz I was just wondering you don’t have to get all snappy.” Yami retaliated. Now he felt his anger rising. “What’s your problem with life?”
“What does that matter?”
“It just does!”
“That is the most pathetic come back I’ve ever heard.” Kaiba sneered.
“Don’t you dare sneer at me you icicle!”
“I will sneer at anyone I damn well please.”
“Why do you have to be such a fucking asshole all the time?”
“Why do you care?”
“Because I do.”
“That’s not an answer!”
“It is to me.”
“Oh so I guess I just have to accept it because the fucking pharaoh says so.”
“Well I see you can catch on.” The statement dripped with a sarcasm that Yami never knew could be possessed.
“Better then you can.”
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean.”
“Damn but you can be even dumber then the mutt.”
“You did not just say that!”
“And if I did?” Kaiba was all smugness.
“Well I –“ Yami found that he didn’t know what he would do.
“Damn he looks hot when he’s confused.” Yami barely heard what Kaiba said but he heard it.
“I’m sorry.”
“About what?”
“You said I look hot when I’m confused.”
“No I didn’t.”
“Yes you did.”
“And if I did!” Yami caught the soft blush that had appeared on his opponents face.
“Then I would have to say that you look damn sexy with that colour on your cheeks.”
“What!”
