Fire
Fire it is hot and passionate, it lives by oxygen giving it life. One Blond haired duelist carried this fire within its soul, giving it life. He cared for all those around him, friends and family alike. The fire could not go out it had burned for a long time being fueled by his passions.
Jounouchi was said duelist who carried such a fire. Those who knew him could see this. Even his opponents when he dueled. As he walked down the streets of Domino he thought back to his high school graduation and growled making the fire burn hotter. His worse enemy had almost ruined the day for him.
The fire burns hotter.
FLASHBACK
"Well if it isn't the mutt, you must have been smarter than you looked." Jounochi sighed and turned and sighed again. The fire burning brighter. He looked at the one who had taunted him all through high school. "Kaiba I'm not a dog so why don't you just drop it with the dog cracks!" As Kaiba looked on he just smirked and said "OK puppy." Then smiled and walked away. "Kaiba come back here and take that back!" He was fixing to go after his rival when he felt someone stop him. Turning around he saw his best friend Yugi and the ancient Pharaoh Yami pleading with him not to go and start a fight that no one would win at. "Jou don't worry about him after today you want have to deal with him anymore."
What his friend didn't know was that he was in love with Seto Kaiba the most arrogant asshole-prick he had ever knew. He was just afraid to let anyone know how he felt including Seto. He looked at his friends and smiled. "He just gets under my skin." He tells his friends.
The fire gets hotter.
End Flashback
Jounochi stops at his destination Kames Game Shop where his friend Yugi and Yami live. As he walks in he feels a cold chill go up his spine like someone is watching him. He turns to see who it is and doesn't see anyone there. The feeling won't go away; he continues on into the shop and into the back where he is suppose to meet his friends. Yugi looks up and see Jou and notices that something is bothering him. "Jou is something wrong?" Jou looks around the room and sees all his friends there, Bakura and Ryou, Honda and Otogi, Yugi and Yami, Marik and Malik, and Anzu. "No nothing is wrong." Jou says not wanting to worry his friends. In a couple of months they would all be going to college. Bakura and Ryou would be going back to England Marik and Malik would be returning to Egypt, Anzu had been accepted in a dance school in America, Otogi still had his own business to run and Honda would be helping him, you see they where now a couple. Yami and Yugi would be helping out in the Kames Game Shop that Yugi's grandfather owned.
Jounochi was going to Domino University where he planned to study Business as a major and Art as a minor. He wanted to prove to everyone that he was no dumb blond including proving it to himself. As he sat and listened to his friends plan their future he started to think about a certain Brunette.
The fire burned hotter.
Kaiba had been on his mine a lot lately he knew that before he went away to school he needed to tell him how he felt but he just didn't know how. "JOU" he jumped and looked up to all of his friends. They looked at him with worry on their face. "Are you ok?" Says Honda "We have been trying to get your attention for about the last five minutes." Jou looks at his friends and says "Yea everything is find, I just have a lot on my mind." Yugi with concern in his voice "Are you sure?" "Do you want to talk about it?" "No that's alright." Jou answers his friend "I have to go I'll see you later."
The fire burns.
As Jou leaves his friends he decides to go and visit his rival the one he hates and the one he loves. He was not sure what reaction he would get from him all he knew is that he needed to tell him.
The fire burns.
He stands outside the building and looks up at the steel and glass building knowing that he needed to tell him before his courage ran out. As he walks into Kaiba Corp. he goes up to the receptionist and asks to see Seto Kaiba. She looks up with a frustrated look on her face having just come from his office. As with all the signal female employees they where always trying to make a pass at him and was par for the course he gave her a dressing down and told her one more time and she would be fired.
She looks at Jounochi and scowls "Do you have an appointment?" Jounochi looks at her "No but it is important." She picks up the phone and after some screaming on the other end Jounochi couldn't help but smile. As she hangs up he looks at him and tells him "Top floor last door on the left." Jou thanks her and goes to the elevators and goes into the lions den.
The fire burns hotter.
