Lure ~A Kaijou Yakuza AU~

verb

tempt (a person or animal) to do something or to go somewhere

noun

the strongly attractive quality of a person or thing

a type of bait used in fishing or hunting

Jounouchi always suspected he had few future prospects outside a life of petty crimes. When he runs afoul of Kaiba, the fourteenth head of the Aoryu-kai, though, everything gets that much worse.

The plan was simple: get in good with the rich, new transfer student, who was rumored to be a yakuza boss' son. Instead, Jounouchi has pissed off a recently enthroned oyabun, resulting in his future being bought out from under his nose.

Jounouchi and Mokuba meet for the first time. The result is only somewhat disastrous for Jounouchi.

Jounouchi is asked to stay the night in Kaiba's bed. Well, "asked" is probably not the right descriptor.

The knife at his throat doesn't rattle him. It will not be the last time someone kidnaps or threatens him. Though, that does raise the question of where his so-called bodyguard has gone. Seto may have grown surprisingly fond of his new guard dog—stupid and obstinate though he might be, but there's a limit to what he'll tolerate of Jounouchi's shoddy performance.

Jounouchi wondered how he kept ending up on the wrong end of Kaiba's knife. Maybe it was because of the mouth on him. Or maybe Kaiba was right—it did excite him.

It's so easy to forget that Kaiba's human. Or that he had moods and emotions like a real person. Jounouchi's life is a lot less complicated when he's not confronted with that reality.

When Jounouchi looked at the ground again, a grotesque sight greeted him. His would-be attacker's screaming had died into gurgling, fevered moans. Even the sound of the belt smacking flesh had grown wet. Like someone was pulverizing oranges or tenderizing meat. He never imagined Kaiba would come to his defense. Not like this.

Jounouchi knew what it felt like to starve: for food, for warmth, for approval, for purpose. Recent times had been good, though, and he nearly forgot. Until Kaiba brought it all back with one well-executed steak dinner.

Kaiba’s pale fingers crept across every new and devastating curve, tracing the rounded slope of his shoulders, fondling his pecs like breasts, sweeping around the sensual jut of his hips, and palming the perky globes of his ass. Jounouchi tried to stay still. Keep quiet. Especially when the hands drifted forward, one cupping him through the panties while the other caressed the scalloped edge of a stocking top. “Any man would want to eat you up.”

Sometimes, several days will pass where Kaiba doesn't touch him. It drives Jounouchi a little nuts.

Tattoos often equal yakuza. Simple enough. All Jounouchi wants to know is if Kaiba has one. But he learns so much more and pays—well, not the worst price for his curiosity.

Jounouchi can already hear Kaiba berating him. It was a stupid move on his part—shoplifting. Even stupider to get caught. So when an unexpectedly familiar face extends a seemingly helping hand, he must reconsider who's actually looking after his best interests.

They're playing a game, Kaiba had said. Now Jounouchi's in the altar room wearing a butt plug—sounds like a perverted game of Clue. But the only dead person in this equation is Gozaburo, now deceased for an entire year. It's an occasion that Jounouchi's all too willing to help Kaiba celebrate with the filthiest sex imaginable. (Nothing breeds loyalty faster than a common enemy.)

He thought he'd be ecstatic to not be at Kaiba's constant beck and call. And he was, for a short while, until a familiar-new-old worry reared its head. Adrift and lacking purpose, Jounouchi tries to adjust to life after graduation. "Tries" being the operative word.

Jounouchi and Kaiba spend some quality time together at the Domino University library. Shh, there's no talking in the library.

For normal kids, summers were prime time for goofing around and young love. Jounouchi and Kaiba were anything but normal.

As discontent swells amongst the Aoryu-kai's ranks, those wishing to seize power for themselves emerge. They threaten everything—Kaiba's leadership position, the tiny sliver of peace Jounouchi's managed to carve out for himself, and whatever tenuous bond exists between the two of them. Will saving Kaiba's hide save Jounouchi too? Or is this finally his chance to escape from under the kumicho's thumb?

Kaiba gets more than a little drunk at his birthday party. Which means he gets more than a little handsy with Jounouchi afterward.

Never let it be said that Seto never gave his pet any treats. A good boy deserves rewards, especially on his birthday.

Kaiba comes home with a bag full of Valentine's chocolates gifted by his female admirers. Jounouchi's not sure how he feels about this development. The only thing that's clear to him is that Kaiba's classmates are dangerously gullible or shallow (and the funny twisting feeling in his stomach).
