Disclaimers. I obviously do not own Yu Gi Oh or any of it's characters. If I did I wouldn't be writing stupid Seto/Jounichi fanfics I'd be spending my time and money elsewhere. As it is I'm writing stupid fanfics

I would like to thank none other than the talented Card Captors fanfic writer Jade Lily for her excellent ideas which inspired me greatly. And now we can Quit the formal crap and get on to the fan fic

Chapter 1

Jounichi could tell this was not going to be his day. The moment the teacher, Sensei Kimura said "projects" his imagination filled in the blanks. Some horribly difficult project that couldn't be done last minute worth half his mark kind of thing. Not a good day.

"Jounichi Katsuya!" Sensei Kimura said. "What did I just say?" Jou looked dumbly at his teacher and shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalantly way. Shaking her head Sensei repeated.

"I will be picking your partners for this project. Aaaannnnnnddddd. I frankly do not care whether or not you enjoy the company of your partner or not. The project will be due in at the end of the summer break. Don't screw this up." Turning to her desk the sensei grabbed a piece of chalk and started writing names on the board.

Ryou + Yami *composed and dignified nod*
*sweatdrop*

Yugi + Malik "cool"
"yeah"

Bakura + Marik "one wrong move and I'll."
"If you had just gotten the stupid puzzle I would be Pharaoh and sitting in a throne instead of this stupid desk!"

Tristen + Otogi "riiiigghhhhtttt" *sweatdrop*
"Are you still jealous about Serentity?"

Seto + Jounichi NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The chalk dropped from the sensei's hands. "Excuse me?" she said.

Jou and Seto looked at each ther. well. glared would be the more proper term.

Clearing his throat Jou said "Heh heh. noooooo. um. no reason why we shouldn't get an "A" heh heh " *sweat drop*

"Yeah." Seto agreed. What the Mutt said. I mean Jounichi said."

"That's what I thought" the sensei said turning back to the board to finish writing the rest of the partners names up.

Seto shot Jou a look that plainly said he'd meant that "Mutt" comment. Jou turned his nose up and looked back at the board.

'I wonder what kind of project this is going to be' Jou thought. He didn't have to wait long though.

"Class. It's time to explain the project. Each of you has a partner that has a different background, whether it be ethnical or economical." Seto shot Jou another one of his famous smirks. No surprise now how he'd wound up with the puppy. The mutt was dirt poor.

"You will be expected to spend a minimum of five days at your partners house. You will write down comparisons between your homes and families. I also expect an essay minimum three pages single spaced. You may now meet with your partners to discuss your project."

Seto glanced over at Jou and noticed the blonde boy looked extremely pale. "What's a matter, mutt? Afraid I won't take you for your daily walk?"

"Shut up, moneybags" Jou shot back.

Slouched in his chair Jou attempted to ignore Seto until the final bell rang dismissing them to go home.

Seto got up and expected Jou to be racing to get out of class but instead the blonde stayed where he was and waited for the class to file out. Seto had the feeling this was about him and stayed within earshot just out side the door.

"What can I do for you, Jounichi?" the sensei asked.

"I can't complete this assignment."

"And why not?" Seto peeked around the corner to see Jou's back to him and the sensei's arms folded in annoyance.

"I can't have anyone over to my place. My father doesn't let me."

"What do you mean your father won't let you?"

"I mean my father won't let me. I've lived in that place for three years and the only people who've seen the inside are me, my old man, and the landlord when he comes in to fix something."

"Can't you discuss this with your father?" Jou shook his head. "Well, if you won't, then I will. This is a very large percentage of your grade next term and I'm sure your father wants you to do well."

"But."

"Good day Jounichi. I'll see you tomorrow." Seto taking his cue quickly left before Jounichi could see he'd been spying. Seto wondered what Jou was hiding. "Probably a bone" Seto thought with a smirk as he got into his limo and headed home.
