Author's note: I got it into my head one day to do a 100-Word Challenge type JouKai fic, and this "chapter" was the result. But I can never leave well enough alone, so I decided to do a series of them instead. They follow.

Standard disclaimer: If I'd created Yu-Gi-Oh, I'd be filthy rich and have no need for a PhD. Translation: Don't own, don't sue.


Scene One: Jounouchi

"...don't ya think so, Kaib'?"

Jounouchi has been babbling nearly incessantly since he recovered. It is always the same, Kaiba reflects: A grin, a moan, a louder moan, a thundering climax, and then...quiet. Blissful, serene quiet.

For all of five minutes, and then he starts chattering again. Kaiba largely ignores him; this, too, is a constant.

"I'm just sayin', how cool would that be? Mindin' your own business, and then out of nowhere: 'Blue eyes! Attack!' "

Jounouchi dissolves into a fit of laughter at this. Kaiba's own blue eyes regard him obliquely, considering the opportunity.

And attack he does.
