Someday
2 : Blue
Yami narrating :
Yugi keeps pestering me about what’s wrong every time I don’t answer him immediately. Ra, I love my little cousin, I do, but if he doesn’t stop, I’m going to scream!
Right now, however, I’ve got other things on mind…like that blue-eyed stranger that I ran into at the airport. He smelled of foreign spices, which seemed to suit him very well. The coat he wore I thought was a bit outrageous, but then again, I can’t say my outfit itself didn’t turn a few heads with all my leather and whatnot, heh.
Blue…just who the hell are you?
‘…will we ever be together or will be always have to be like this?”
I hear that voice again…why am I hearing these voices and getting these dreams? I haven’t even told Yugi about them. He’s so skittish about these sort of things, although I must question him about his newly-acquired “koi”, Otogi-kun, whom I met along with the others. They’re all very nice. Yugi’s eager to show me around town and to this place called KaibaLand. Silly name, though.
‘Can’t we just be like this…my Pharaoh?’
‘Don’t call me Pharaoh’
Was he the Pharaoh? Was I? I wish I could make sense of everything that I’ve seen and experienced.
However…there’s a sensation that I felt that moment when our hands touched…Ra forgive me, but…I wanted to jump him! I’ve never felt like that about anyone I’ve ever encountered!
Bad thing is…I’m still hard too…damn you blue, giving me blue balls…I need to go shower…
‘I’ve missed you…come lay your head in my lap…’
Funny thing is, whenever these dreams go through my head, I can actually feel the sensations running through me as if that person’s right next to me.
Yep, Yugi would definitely freak out.
But…it’s a comfort to me…to my soul…there’s been a strong sensation flowing through me and that began the moment I started having those dreams…
Could Blue be my…soul mate?
‘Someday…when I am no longer…we will be together…forever…’
The warmth is so comforting to me…those arms, those eyes…so full of emotion…and power.
White blinding light…
What kind of power is that? Does he possess that now?
Well, since I live here now, I’m sure I’m bound to have another run in with him again…if he lives here, that is…
3 : Dreams & Desires
-- Ancient Egypt --
Crimson eyes scanned the perimeter around him as he slipped between pillars making his way towards a particular area within the palace…where the other advisor’s and mage’s slept. Having magic power himself, he was able to bypass the barrier that kept their realm of the palace blocked from any possible intruders. He then headed towards the illusory hallway that presented a triad of pathways to take to fool any non-magic persona that would lead to some fateful consequence or another.
Making it past that as well, he saw the room in mind that he had come for. Putting his hand to the door as he chanted a few words as the door vanished and he stepped into the darkened room as the door reappeared behind him.
The room itself was dark from the choice of colors it had been decored in…gold, white and navy blue. His eyes scanned over the scattered assortment of scrolls that were stacked in one corner of the room and discarded robes that had been tossed haphazardly in a rush as his eyes glanced upon the bed as he saw the small motion of breathing coming from the sleeping figure there. Now, normally, a person’s ki would be sensed by another being with power and would alert them to their presence, but an advanced person would be able to always hide their ki from their enemy, which is what he was doing presently…but his reasoning for doing so was of a different manner as he now stood beside the bed looking down upon the sleeping figure of Set before him.
His golden-brown locks were tousled from his restlessness, his normally piercing blues were hidden behind closed lids accented by long lashes, his expression a calm almost childlike one.
‘It’s now or never…’ the other thought as he reached a hand out towards the sleeping man’s shoulder as he touched it softly, feeling the warmth of the other’s skin beneath his fingertips as he ran them along his shoulder, then down his bare arm. “Set…I am here…” he whispered as the other’s eyes slowly fluttered open, revealing dazed blues as he waited for him to focus.
“You’re here…” he mumbled, a small smile breaking across his face.
“Yes…I promised you…” he smiled reaching forward and touching the other’s face as the other leaned into his touch.
“And…you’re sure this is what you want, Atem?” Set asked as he sat up in bed as Atem sat down beside him.
“I don’t make decisions without fully thinking them through, Set…and this is something I’ve thought about for a long time…I was just uncertain if it would be able to be possible considering…” he trailed off.
“As long as you have no regrets about anything,” Set tilted his head so that he could see his eyes.
“I want this as much as you do…or do you not…?” he wondered, feeling a sudden flash of fear chill him, but before he could even make a motion, the other enveloped him in a tight embrace.
“I’ve always wanted this. It was you I was afraid for,” he admitted running a hand through Atem’s tri-colored locks as he felt him snuggle into him.
“I fear nothing. You know this,” crimson locked with sapphire as a grin broke across his face.
“You sneaky --,” Set grinned as he tackled the shorter man to the bed as the other leaned up and chastly kissed his lips.
“Iu merli I tju…” he whispered reaching a hand up and caressing the other’s face smiling seeing the surprised look upon his love’s face.
“You’re too good to me…,” he mumbled leaning down and bringing their lips together in another kiss as the other wrapped his arms around his torso pulling him down to him. Their tongues danced and caressed each other’s mouths, starting off like partners in a waltz, slowly crescendoing to doing the meringue; however, not only were their mouths reflecting their hearts, but their bodies as well as the latter soon found himself bare to the other as while they were kissing, the other’s hands had deftly worked to remove his robes. In the low light, his skin looked like it was glowing. “You truly are a godling…”
“What?” the other looked up at him through love-lust glazed eyes.
“You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen…” he said running a finger along the other’s arm and down his chest as he looked into the other’s eyes and saw a blush running along his cheeks.
“Why so shy, Atem? I know you’ve heard people tell you the same thing I’m telling you…,” he reached up and ran a hand through the other’s golden bangs. He raised an eyebrow hearing the other mumble something under his breath. “What’s up?”
“I said…you’re not other people though…you’re…” Atem reached forward wrapping his arms around the other as he kisses him softly. “…my someday…”
“My someday…where are you?” groggy blues started up at the ceiling. Kaiba slowly sat up in bed rubbing his eyes as he looked around. He was in his bedroom…alone. He swung around as he stood up and headed towards his bathroom, pausing momentarily to look towards his window where he saw streaks of crimson and gold running along his blue carpeting. ‘He…’
“Ni-sama! Ni-sama!” his bedroom door flew open as he was promptly pummeled to his carpet by a flash of black and gray.
“M-Mokuba…might I breathe?” Kaiba gasped trying to wriggle his younger sibling off of him.
“Today’s the day!!!” his younger sibling bounced.
“What are you talking about?” Kaiba said grabbing his towel from the floor beside him stalking off towards the bathroom.
“The festival! We’re going today! You promised!” Mokuba chirped as he bounced back out of the room still chatting excitedly.
Kaiba sighed looking skyward. “What did I do to deserve this?”
“…and with that move, aibou, I win…,” Yami grinned as Yugi just stared dumbfounded at the board.
“How…”
“Don’t try it, Yugi, you know you still have a ways to go before you can even dare me on this level,” Yami said as they gathered their cards just as the phone rang. Yugi set his cards aside as he walked over to his bedside table and picked up his cordless phone. “Hello?”
“Are you guys ready to go?” Jou called.
“Oh…,” Yugi looked at the clock. “Oh shit! I almost forgot! Yami, it’s time to go” Yugi looked at his cousin. “See you there, Jou” he called back as he hung up the phone.
“Well, that was quick. And here we thought we’d be sitting around bored,” Yami chuckled as they grabbed their jackets and headed out.
-- Burger World --
“So, where Shizuka this afternoon?” Anzu asked Jou taking a sip of her shake.
“She’s running around somewhere. She’s such a wild child,” Jou shrugged as that earned him a playful punch from Yugi.
“She is not. She’s out shopping with friends,” Yugi explained.
“She picked up a boyfriend yet?” Honda wondered as Anzu punched him. “Hey!”
“Hmph…,” she tossed her straight locks over her shoulder as Yami and the others burst out laughing.
“I’d say your supply just got cut short man,” Jou snorted which Honda responded by flipping him off.
Yami laughed at his friends as he glanced out the window, and whom should he see passing by but the same blue eyed beauty himself. ‘There you are, blue…’
“…ami!”
Yami blinked as he looked over to Honda as he looked to see the others leaving. “Come on man, we’re going to be late”
“Sorry Honda…,” Yami smiled as he scooted out of the booth, then looked back out the window. Blue was gone.
-- Outer skirts of Domino --
The town was festively decorated in various colors. There were vendors of various sorts selling trinkets, paintings or food. Games and rides were sprinkled around in various spots as well and there was live music filtering in the air.
“Whoo! Oh that was a blast!” Otogi laughed as he, Honda, Yugi and Anzu came off of the roller coaster.
“Ra…how could you stand that? I lost my stomach just looking at you…,” Yami said.
“I take it your cousin here hasn’t experienced one of these babies?” Honda looked at Yugi.
“No. He has. It just doesn’t agree with him very well let’s just say…,” Yugi grinned cheekily which earned him a glare from his cousin.
[Yugi, don’t you say another word!]
{And if I do…?}
Their argument went on for about 2 minutes, until Yami looked over and spied a flutter of white leather and dark brown hair moving through the masses near the cotton candy and assortment of games.
He was ready to play a game of his own…
“Hey! Are you two done!” Anzu stood before them, hands on her hips and fire in her eyes. Yugi ducked behind his cousin.
“Yami, save me…” he meeped, but Yami merely stood aside and started in the direction of the games.
{Bastard…} Yugi hissed as he looked to see 4 sets of eyes looking at him questionably, but he shook his head and laughed following the same path his cousin took.
Elsewhere…
Agitated blue eyes scanned the area, ignoring all the obvious usual stares, points and whispers. He hated being in public, but there was one thought in mind : must keep Mokuba happy, otherwise home life will be hell.
“Come on, bro!” Mokuba chirped tugging on his brother’s arm leading him towards the house of mirrors. Kaiba almost tripped upon the sight he saw heading in the same direction they were.
His crimson-eyed dream and the yugi-tachi. He prayed to every god he knew that they wouldn’t notice them.
“HEY YUGI! JOU! ANZU! HONDA!”
Must not kill brother…must not kill brother…
“Huh?” Anzu looked over to see the two brothers. “Hi Mokuba!” she smiled as the smaller brother ran over and hugged her as the group struck up a conversation as the taller Kaiba stood off to the side, unnoticing the crimson eyed teen heading towards the house of mirrors feeling along the hidden front entrance.
“You guys…where’s Yami?” Jounouchi looked around as everyone paused in their conversation and looked around. The crimson-eyed teen was no where in sight.
“Yami?” Yugi’s heart began to beat rapidly. “Oh Ra…where the hell did he go?”
“We were just about to…oh shit…,” Otogi groaned covering his eyes. “I bet he fell through the secret entrance”
“Secret entrance?” Mokuba raised his eyebrow. “Ni…oh my god…where’s my brother?”
“You mean Kaiba’s here?” Honda blinked as the group groaned.
“Baka yarou…of course he is…,” Anzu rolled her eyes.
“What do we do?” Mokuba sighed.
-- Inside --
Laughter echoed all around Kaiba. He had long since lost the crimson-eyed beauty. He had caught glimpse of him as he disappeared into the fun house…more like, he tripped into it and disappeared down the rabbit hole it seemed like.
The opportunity had presented itself…even if an awkward one.
He slid inside easily and had to hold back his laughter watching the shorter teen feel his way around, occasionally slamming into a mirrored wall. Then he looked again to see the teen looking right at him…
And he smirked as he disappeared again into another sector of the fun house….like a dream.
‘Shit…he saw me…’ Kaiba shook his head as he started his venture into the funhouse that soon turned into a nightmare.
-- 30 mins later --
Kaiba rubbed his forehead for what felt like the millionth time having come to another dead end instead of getting close to his dream. He didn’t even have any sense of how close or how far the exit was from where he was.
‘Argh! What the hell am I doing? Wasting time on this! Where’s Mokuba?’ Kaiba wondered as he turned around…
…and found himself face to face with crimson.
Was he real? The figure didn’t even look the same. This person was dressed in fine white silk garments and a crown that seemed to blend right into his bangs that were precisely the same color.
‘…I miss you…koi…’ his eyes were full of tears as he held out a bronzed hand….and began to vanish…
“ATEM!!!”
His head pounded like someone had taken a 2 x 4 to it…repeatedly. He heard voices echoing all around him…he hoped one of them belonged to the one he’d just seen as he slowly, ever so slowly opened his eyes. Everything was in triplicate and rainbow colored. He squinted them closed once again, then slowly opened them again as everything began to focus.
“He’s awake!” a voice squeaked as he felt the presence of a body upon his.
“Ni-sama! Ni-sama!”
Not the body to feel right then as he closed his eyes once again.
‘Someday will come soon for us…’ a voice echoed in his head.
‘Someday? Someday for what?’
‘Someday…’
“…was mean of you Yami,” Yugi fussed at his cousin off to the side as the group had gone back with Mokuba and their guards to escort Kaiba back to the mansion after Yami brought the taller teen out unconscious after he’d somehow slammed a bit too hard into one of the mirrors and knocked himself out cold.
“Is he going to be all right Mokuba?” Otogi asked as he reached over and grabbed ahold of his boyfriend to keep him from killing his cousin. Yugi was not at all pleased to know what Yami had done, even though it had been meant as a harmless joke.
“Otogi, let g - mmph!” Yugi protested, but those protests were soon put to rest as Otogi crashed his lips onto the smaller teens, silencing him.
“What are you dorks doing in my house?” All eyes looked to see Kaiba standing there with his arms crossed glaring. Yep, he was back to his normal stoic self.
“Number 1, Mokuba asked us to escort you all home to make sure you’re all right after the stunt our friend here pulled,” Anzu said, not giving into the usual glares and standoffishness the other would present to them. “And secondly, we wanted to have our friend here apologize to you”
Kaiba hmphed as he turned away. “Well, it looks like my life cycle was shortened once again by you idiots”
“Hey moneybags! We didn’t have to be good samaritans and do shit for ya! We could’ve just left ya ass in there, alight?” Jou growled as Honda grabbed ahold of him to keep him under control.
“Whatever…”
[But Yugi…]
{But nothing! You go and apologize to him right now or I’m telling Grandpa!}
/Yugi…it was an accident…/
Yugi and Yami looked at one another and then over at the taller teen. “Um…Kaiba…since when do you know Egyptian?”
“What are you fools talking about?” Kaiba growled. “Aren’t you dumbledorks gone yet?”
“Ni-sama…he’s right you know. One second you’re talking Japanese and the next, you’re talking whatever they’re talking without hesitating and from what I recall…that’s one language we don’t know”
“Was it just me or did all of you smack your heads? Get the hell out of my house!” Kaiba roared as the group jumped and walked out of the living room and out of the house quietly. Mokuba gave them an apologetic smile as he closed the door behind them and sighed.
Kaiba sighed leaning against the coolness of his bedroom door as he draped an arm over his eyes. It had been a hell of an evening.
He saw him again…so beautiful in that white, but his eyes were so sad…
Kaiba sighed as he looked up towards his ceiling and sighed, then headed towards the one place he was beginning to fear…his bed.
‘Someday will come soon for us…’ the voice inside his head told him as the world of dreams and mysteries called to him and blue faded to black…
