Disclaimer: No, sadly, I do not own any of the yu-gi-oh characters

After what seemed like forever, I have finally dug up a story. I was intentionally going to make a sequel for my first story. Then I come to the conclusion that the story officially sucked. So then I thought, oh well maybe I'll make a sequel of behind bars with you, and to tell the truth, I have an idea about the story, it just sounds stupid. So then I thought some more, and I didn't want to take any other story ideas, so I came up with this story. I don't know how far I will go with it, because if you know me, then you'll know that I'll drop something fast if I don't like it. So I'll probably ask for inspiration. Which I can get from you all! (Hopefully)

I can already tell the first chapter's going to be stupid, cause I'm typing as I go along, so just bare with me

Enjoy

Summary: Jou is bi polar, and is going to counseling to get help for it, but when he is a assigned to an unexpected guest for a project, he finds himself love. However, when a devastating decision is made, Jou puts himself in more danger than he bargained for…

Counseling

"Jou"

"…"

"Are you awake?"

He stirred as his eyelids opened slowly

"Where...where am I?"

"You're in the hospital; you were just in an accident"

"What! I was!"

"Yes, and a man here claims he's your lover"

He thought for a second

"Who?"

"Jou? Are you alright? I came over as soon as I heard! You're not hurt are you?"

The man wrapped his arms around Jou in an embrace. But Jou didn't hug back; he looked at the man in confusion

"Wait, what?"

"It's me, Seto, remember?"

"…who?"

------------------

"Jou, I think it'll be a good idea" Yugi stated trying to convince the blond. "Yugi, you can't cure bi polar by going to a therapist, or counseling, or anything of that sort. I'm already taking the pills, I'll be fine" Jou replied reassuring the shorter teen with a smile.

Yugi only looked at him in disbelief.

"Well Jou, can't you just try it out, you never know, I don't think the pills are helping because your still having your mental breakdowns. Just try it, once, just once, if you don't like it then you don't have to go" he said. The blond thought for a second. It can't hurt that much to try it once right?

"Fine, fine, but if I don't like it, I'm out of there alright?" the shorter teen's eyes light up

"Right! Don't worry, I don't think that'll be a problem, Ryou convinced Bakura to take counseling at school, even though he's his usual self, he's been a lot sweeter to Ryou".

The blond thought for a moment. He didn't think Bakura was nice to Ryou in the first place, and he's gotten worse. But if it's anything to convince him to take counseling, Yugi would try it.

"Alright, alright" Jou said laughing at the overly happy teen sitting across from him in class. "Sorry, I'm just worried about you, you know. Your outbursts are becoming more violent these days" Jou had to laugh at his hyperbole.

"My outbursts aren't all that violent Yugi, I think I've been more content" he responded with a smile. The shorter teen looked at him in disbelief. "If you say so" he said as he turned his head towards the front of the classroom as the teacher began to speak.

The blond tried to pay attention. But his eyes fell down to the paper where he was scribbling little notes to notify the teacher that he was, indeed listening.

But instead he was doodling on the corner of the page waiting for the bell to ring. His eyes wandered across the room to see if anyone else were paying attention, and to his dismay, they were. His eyes wandered onto a brunette, who seemed to be listening intently to whatever the teacher was saying. There was no doubt about it; even Jou had to admit it. He was sexy beyond reason. Yeah the blond knew it was wrong for a guy to think another guy is hot, but all that seemed right to him had gone straight through the window. Besides, Kaiba was different. He was perfect for any known mammal on earth. His poise was perfect, his hair was always neatly combed, his clothes never had wrinkles, he got an A on any test he ever had, and he's athletic. For god sakes his voice is perfect, and the blond knew that somewhere…deep in his heart, he had a certain liking for said Brunette, but he always knew there was no sense in even trying to start anything with THE Seto Kaiba. Have a superior dragon with an inferior puppy just didn't mix. Just like he and Kaiba would never mix. He knew that…

And he was fine with that.

Lunch

Jou sat at the usual table, talking to Tristan as he devoured his pizza. He had a bold smile which made Tristan smile also. He knew Jou's problem and it was great that he was smiling. It was better that way. Everyone wanted Jou happy, everyone except a certain CEO.

"And here we have the mutt eating in his natural habitat. Eating like there's no tomorrow seems to be the best manners this mutt has" Kaiba said an arrogant smirk played on his lips. The blonde's temper was shorter than ever. It didn't take long for Jou to become angry.

Didn't take long at all.

"You fucking ass! I'm sick of your dog names! The one time I'm not bothering you, is the one time you come and bother me. You treat me like I'm nothing but you know your wrong Kaiba. I know you think I'm worth something, as much as you deny it, you know I'm just as important as any other person here, and do you know how this is true Kaiba?" he took a step closer to Kaiba, but the brunette stayed put. He was a little shocked by Jou's sudden outburst though he didn't show it. "It's true because I have a heart!" the blond clenched his right hand into a fist, his knuckles quickly turning white from forming the fist so tightly. He quickly swung his fist towards Kaiba's jaw, sending the brunette's face to jerk violently to the right. He was shocked, not at the fact that his punch hurt, at the fact that the blond had the guts to actually pull something like that off.

Before the brunette could even stand up straight, the blond had took off swiftly through the cafeteria and headed to what seemed to be the front yard of the school to blow off some steam. His hand hurt slightly from the sudden contact he put on Kaiba, but he had every right to be mad. He was sick of Kaiba calling him out and insulting him. He was sick of being treated like he had no business breathing the same air the brunette did. He was especially sick of the dog jokes, but what he was most sick of, was the fact that Kaiba was right. Everything he says about the blond is right. And Jou hated it

It's a lot harder to be attracted to someone when you know they hate your guts. Sometimes the blond just wished that Kaiba never talked to him at all.

It'd be better that way…

After school

"You sure about this? I mean all the people in here seem either depressed of psychotic" Jou said looking through the door at people who apparently needed counseling as he did. "Jou you'll be fine, just go in, be yourself, and when you get home make sure you tell me how it goes" his tri-colored friend pushed him slightly foreword into the room and walked off.

Jou looked around his surroundings. The room was very spacious and was carpeted with blue green carpet. It was very cozy, there were couches and chairs and a desk where a woman sat looking at papers. As Jou walked up to her, he saw that she was very pretty. She had chestnut hair that was loosely tied up into a bun. Her eyes were emerald and hid behind black rimmed glasses that rested on the bridge of her nose. She seemed very skinny from where could see, but she was still very beautiful.

"Excuse me?" Jou said almost in a whisper hoping to get her attention without interrupting her from her work. She looked up at him and smiled a smile that could brighten the world. She had smiling eyes that made Jou smile in return. "Oh, you must be Jounouchi Katsuya, am I right?" the blond nodded his head as the lady continued. "Hello then, my name is Mrs. Copper, but please call me Jade. I will be your counselor. Now it's not all that boring being here. I mean I use to be in counseling when I was younger and I honestly did have some fun. We won't be sitting around in this room all the time. We might play little games and might go for walks. Sometimes we not even have class you can just hang around and listen to music or whatever." She took off her glasses and set them aside. She looked a lot better without them. "Now we do have some rules, very simple rules though. Try not to have any violent outbursts; I don't mind verbal but physical solves nothing. All it does is bring guilt and break things…and people" she trailed off the last part her eyes growing dark. It was so quick though the blond almost thought it didn't happen. "The people, for the most part, are very nice, they'll make you feel comfortable because their just as screwed up as you are" she smiled and pointed to the seat next to Bakura that I was assigned to sit at.

"Alright kids, we're going to start the lesson now" conversations began to die down as everyone took their seats. The seats were arranged in a circle so everyone could see everyone. Jade sat at what seemed to be the head of the circle as all eyes were set on her.

"Alright kids, we have a new comer to our group. Say hello to Jounouchi" all eyes were now on the blond. Jou looked slightly embarrassed to have all attention on him so quickly. He cleared his throat; he might as well make a good impression.

"Hey, my name is Jounouchi, but please call me Jou. As I can see none of you know except Bakura, so I'll tell you right now. I'm bi-polar; I have these outbursts that I can't control. Most of them are because of stupid things, and I've come here to try and help my problem. I'm not here to start trouble. So I hope you won't start any with me" the blond grin at the rest of the group. Some smiled, but most just stared. The blond could tell that it would take a while to fit in.

"Alright, today I'm assigning a project. I have set you up with a partner. This partner will be your 'other half' for 2 months. You will be in every class with this person. You will sit next to them; you will be eating lunch with them. Don't worry if your schedules are different, I already changed them so you will be in all the same classes. Also, you will be spending time over spring vacation. You will be staying over each others houses. Now how you arrange that will be between you and your partner. However, I will be calling and checking up on you. So don't think that I wont know if your doing the project or not" she went to her desk to get a piece of paper and she started reading the partners off the list. As Jou listened for his name, he noticed he heard objections to the partners she read off the list. Jou just hoped he was with someone nice. Hell, he wouldn't mind being Bakura's other half.

Jou looked up at Jade as he noticed his name was not called from the list. "Jounouchi, can I see you at my desk for a moment?" Jade called from her desk. The blond quickly stood and walked over to the desk. "Seeing that you're new in this group you will be assigned with another member who couldn't make it today. He was injured and will be staying home. This brings me to your first assigned to this project. You will go to his house and keep him company. Try to make him feel better" she looked up over her glasses at the blond. The blond simply nodded. "Sure I can do that, but can you tell me who this person is"

"Seto Kaiba"

Eh it's not that much of a surprise. It was bound to happen right? Well…it feels great to be typing again. Well sort of. See, it's 1:30 in the morning, and I told myself I was not going to go to sleep until I finished this chapter. Which I did, but I did it between commercials. I was watching a show, Samurai Champloo…really great show, and it just ended in this HUGE cliff hanger, and now I'm basically turning insane from lack of sleep and lack of knowledge of what's going to happen in the next episode. Now I'm not even going to point out my many grammar/spelling/wording mistakes, so you can tell me yourselves, constructive criticism is always welcome yawn and now I am going to pass out some place…--
