You fell for that? Pft.

YOU LITTLE---

Chapter 1

-Rain

"I'm gonna be late again." Jou mumbled as droplets of water fell from his hair. He slowly walked through the deserted streets, every so often cursing at the rain. It really dampened his spirit. When he finally reached the school he noticed that the lights were all off. 'That's odd, why aren't they on?' He questioned himself as he opened the big metal doors that lead him inside. Once in he was instantly swarmed by students and teachers trying to find their way in the dark. Jou yelped when someone almost knocked him off his feet. Deciding they wouldn't notice his tardiness he pushed his way towards where he remembered the lockers being and fumbled around for the one that had no lock on it. After 2 minutes of searching he felt like giving up. The lights flickered, but only for a split second. Jou thanked whatever forces made this world spin for giving him the light to see his locker, even if it was only a split second, as he quickly gave it a good thump and heard it swing open. He didn't need a lock, since his locker was usually jammed anyway. Only people who were pretty damn strong could open it. He shoved his bag in and slammed the locker shut before sliding through the crowds of people that were clearly panicking over the black out. The lights flickered again, giving one of the teachers time to light a candle without burning the place down. Now a dim glow was seen at the stairs that lead to the second floor.

"Everybody be quiet and stand still!" The principal boomed, hushing everyone. He looked out the window and saw the sky was dark grey, but had light blue clearing it up. "The staff should have a candle in their classroom, go to your first class and we shall wait there until this little storm clears up." He ordered.

Jou yelped as he was brought to the floor from people who were eager to get to the classroom, which held a candle. He quickly got to his feet and made a quick break for maths, though he hated the class. He seemed to be the first there, but he wasn't quite sure since it was almost pitch black. Lightning struck outside lighting up the room for a few seconds, then the thunder followed. Jou hadn't bothered checking if someone else was in the room, he just tried to find his desk. Giving up he just sank to the floor and sighed. He was drenched in water and was starting to shiver from the cold. After a while he started to get uncomfortable.

'Is it just me, or is someone else in here?' he thought to himself before looking around frantically. He didn't see anyone, but he did have the strange feeling of someone watching him. Shaking his head violently he moaned. "This is starting to bug me." He complained.

"What is?" someone snarled. Jou blinked. Without thinking he started to reply.

"The feeling that someone is watchi – heeeey." He jumped to his feet hurriedly and whipped around. The sight of a tall dark figure met his eyes and made him cringe. 'Either that's a giant or I'm standing in front of Seto Kaiba – Eah Shit!'

"Hello mutt." Seto said casually.

"How'd you get in here?!" Jou demanded.

"The door." Seto replied. He grunted shortly as this information registered in Jou's head, before going back to his desk and picking up his pen.

"Um, how can you work in the dark?" Jou inquired cluelessly. Seto never even spared him a glance as he spoke.

"I eat lots of carrots."

"Really? That works?"

"No muttly, I have a torch." Seto answered bluntly. Jou's face twisted into rage.

"Don't call me muttly!" he growled. A light glow seemed to fill the room as Seto switched on the torch he had in his hand. Jou stomped his foot on the ground before storming over to his desk, which unfortunately for him was in front of Seto's. After 2 minutes exactly the door slid open and Yugi stepped in. When he saw Seto and Jou casting glares at eachother he raised a questioning brow. Not noticing the shortie at the door they continued their glaring contest until Jou finally broke the silence.

"Stop looking at me!" He hissed. Seto smirked.

"Unfortunately for me I sit behind you so I can't help looking, can I? It's you that needs to stop staring at me, mutt!" Seto retorted. Jou fumed and turned his attention away from the infuriating Seto Kaiba. Yugi sighed and headed over to his friends. Jou smiled when he saw his shortest friend.

"Hey Yug." He greeted him happily. Yugi smiled back.

"Hi Jou, how are you today?" Yugi asked. Jou shrugged shortly before turning back to his work which he could only just see compliments Seto's torch which had been programmed to call out 'Here doggie doggie,' every five minutes. When it went off Jou raged.

"WHAT?" He shouted at the torch whilst he strangled it much to Seto's mock dismay.

"If you break that you're paying for a replacement." Seto said causing Jou to throw the offensive object at the bastard's head.

"Replace that, asshole moneybags." He growled before turning back to Yugi who looked a little worried.

"Jou? Are sick? You're acting a little weird. " The little not so innocent short dude said. Not so innocent comment standing for the porn collection beneath his mattress which Jou happened to know was there because he had flipped the mattress for a reason he forgot when he saw it. Anyways, back to the story now. Jou shook his head.

"No, I'm fine Yug." He stated before a few more people entered the room. Finally the teacher entered with a candle lit and sat down at his desk. Soon after the sky went clear and the sun shone brightly outside. After working for about ten minutes Jou looked up, then rubbed his eyes. Everything seemed to be kinda blurred. Letting his head drop to the desk, sending a loud thump through the room, he let out a sigh.

Seto smirked, it seemed the mutt was getting dizzy from thinking too much, the stupid pup. When the bell rang Seto stood and went to walk out, Jou following him with his friends. As they reached the door Seto felt something hit his back. He turned around slightly and found the mutt leaning on him.

"Stupid dog." He hissed as he pushed Jou off of him. Once Jou made contact with the ground a yelp escaped his lips before he jumped to his feet and looked around frantically. "I suggest you don't think so much pup, I don't want you falling on me every time you feel you want to over work that puny brain of yours." Seto provoked knowing Jou would be quick to snap back at him. Jou blinked a few times before glaring.

"For your information I'm just not feeling well. So piss off and leave me alone!" he growled before pushing past the CEO. About ten steps away from him Jou staggered a bit before falling to the side and hitting his head on the wall. "Ow!" he yelped before rubbing his head. Yugi sighed before running after Jou, Anzu following him. Seto snickered before making his way to his locker which just happened to be only 5 down from Jou's and the twirp Yugi's.
