Wooo!!! Hiya everyone!!! As promised, here is chapter 1 of 'Hate of Love' long awaited sequel…and guess what!!! If you haven't noticed already, it's called 'Love of Hate'

Why you ask?

Because I thought it was cute and went well with the story…yes that is why…it wasn't simply that I couldn't be bothered to think of something better…honestly

If you haven't read 'Hate of Love' well, you don't need to, but do it for me? Please? But you will need to read the epilogue of it, just so you know where we are right now. Kay?

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did little kids wouldn't be allowed to watch it, and Duke would be mine, ALL MINE! XD

ENJOY!!!

wheneverKaibasmilesapuppydies:o lookoutJou!

"Welcome back class, I hope you enjoyed your lunch, and your morning of easiness" the teacher suddenly smiled evilly "Welcome back to hell, today we start a new project"

Jou immediately had something to say "Oh no! Come on not another one! We just finished one" the rest of the class just ignored him, this happened every time they had a new project or coursework piece.

"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted" Jou somehow began to shrink in his seat "you do not have to have a partner, but as always you are welcome to, but remember, you share the work and share the grade, you both have to put effort in"

The class started talking as people bagged themselves partners, so the teacher wouldn't end up matching them up with random people.

Jou brightened at the prospect of having a partner, he jumped up excited "alright who wants to go with me"

The entire class went silent, Jou wasn't known to be a very good partner in projects, he did none of the work, but took all the credit. He stood there for a moment, then started to stare at people, all of whom started to turn away, so they didn't meet his gaze, or indicate that already had a partner. He locked onto Yugi, he'd never say no to him, but Yami came to his defence. "Sorry Jou, me and Yugi are going to work together on this one"

Yugi nodded "sorry Jou, but I already promised him"

Jou frowned and moved on to Tea, who pointed at Ryou who nodded so fast Jou was worried his head would fly off.

He turned to Tristan who shrugged at him "I'm thinking of doing this one on my own mate. Sorry"

Jou stared in anger at the graffiti on his desk, when it came to projects he was the one everyone didn't want.

"Jou, could you please get off the desk" the teacher stood at his side, her arms crossed, and an equally crossed look on her face. Blushing he sat down and diverted his eyes from her stare, he caught the gaze of Seto, who looked at him with amusement, he glared back. Stupid Kaiba, laughing at me, annoying prick, 'I'm too good for anyone'. As usual he rolled off a string of non insulting insults under his breath.

Seto had glared back then turned away, then turned his thought on to what he could do his project on, the topic choices were simple stuff, so it shouldn't take more than a few hours to create another A worthy piece of work. He was distracted by a girl standing in front of him, she was staring down at her shoes, but nervously trying to attract his attention, "um Seto, I was wondering, if, I could be you partner in this project? Please?"

He gave her a glance then simply said "no, I will not" he returned this gaze to his sheet of paper.

"Erm, thanks anyway" the girl and returned to her friends, who gave her reassuring hugs. Seto took no attention to their cold and angry stares, nor of those gazing after 'how cool' he was. He took no interest in those girls who liked him because he was rich, smart or handsome, they were all the same.

A foreign clump of paper had found its way on his desk, he unfolded it and saw the messy handwriting, if it could be called so, that belonged to the mutt.

You bastard, how could you turn her down, you hurt her, we all know she's likes you for ages

He rolled his eyes, typical of the mutt, he grudgingly wrote a reply and dropped it behind him onto Jou's desk. He heard the crinkling of the paper and waited.

Jou opened the reply expecting a smart comment and insult

As I said, I didn't want to partner with her, why do you care? Oh I see, the puppy is in love, did I steal her from you?

Jou growled in anger, and scribbled a reply, all the while muttering bastard under his breathe, he made sure to give Seto a few little kicks under the desks.

Bastard. Its not like that! I'm not in love with her. You never partner with anyone, cold hearted bastard

This reply hardly touched Seto, he'd been called a cold hearted bastard repeatedly by Jou, it no longer had much affect. Who is he in love with then? He smirked as he wrote his reply and passed it over.

Jou stared at the back of Seto's head, wishing he had magical powers that could set his hair on fire, that would teach him a lesson, he was staring so intently that he didn't notice the flying wad of paper, until it was too late.

"Ow!"

That got people's attention, namely the teacher's, she looked at him suspiciously; he tried to avoid her gaze and to cover up the note. He waited until she stopped looking to retrieve the note from his lap.

Would you rather I be with you?

Jou just stared at the note, unsure of what to think, a shadow covered his desk, a chorus of "oooh" surrounded him. He looked up to see the teacher once again by his desk, he crumbled up the note and tried to hide it, but she had already seen it. She held out her hand, and he placed the note in her hand, she skimmed over it, and looked at Seto.

"Seto, I'm surprised at you, such juvenile behaviour; detention. And actually go this time"

Jou smiled, Money bags got detention. Money bags got detention

"You too Jou, tomorrow, straight after school." she smirked then returned to the front of the class "Enjoy your freedom boys, savour it while you can"

Jou's smile quickly turned to a frown, he had a project to do, on his own, and he had another detention. The day had gone just great so far, all he needed was a test that he didn't know about and the day would be complete! Thank God for the free period next!

iveseenlovediewaytoomanytimes

The class passed slowly, mostly because Jou spent the entire time looking at the clock despite to remarks of 'it won't make it go faster' from the teacher, as well as many other remarks. He ran out the room the second the bell went off, eagerly running to the place under the trees where they hung out, he let out a sigh of relief once he sat down, then realised he'd left his bag inside, he cursed and hoped that Yugi would bring it out for him. Sure enough Yugi came running out holding Jou's bag at his side, he dropped it on the ground by Jou's feet,

"You left it, again" he shook his head and then sat down next to him "honestly; you should really remember your bag when you fly out the room. You were out of the room before the bell even finished ringing, out of the building even"

Jou smirked, he always did get A's in PE, even thought that was the only place he did get A's.

He frowned to himself as Tea, Ryou and Tristan came and sat with them, Tea turned to Yugi and told him "Yami will be just a minute, he said he had to talk to someone real quick"

Jou blanked out their conversation and turned to Tristan who was looking around rather nervously, he lightly punched him on the shoulder "Hey dude, what's up? What you freaking about over?"

Tristan gulped and looked Jou and began to tell him "You know how I am right, it's just that…"

"Hey everyone!"

Jou looked up to see the art friend of Ryou stood there with Duke and her practically identical friend, Ryou immediately said his greetings and patted the ground inviting her to join them.

She sat down in between the other girl and Duke, Jou thought she was sitting rather close Duke, and quickly turned his head away when he saw their fingers brush, he didn't want to appear to be staring.

"Just in case you don't know, I'm Gina, and this is Jimmi" she pointed to herself and the girl who waved at everyone "Sup!"

Jou smiled and replied "Hey" and then turned back to Tristan who was looking even more nervous.

"Hey dude, are you shaking? What's up"

Tristan nodded his head in the direction of Jimmi, Jou had to admit she looked sort of scary, maybe Tristan was scared of her, but Tristan being scared of a girl? This was funny. He laughed at him "what did the mean girl do? She steal your lunch money? She call you names? Did the bad girl frighten poor little Tristan?"

Tristan glared at him then slowly nodded "yeah she scared the shit outta me" his expression suddenly changed "she's so hot!"

Jou let out something between a laugh and a 'whatthefuck?' shout, which earned him a punch from Tristan, a hard one, he jumped onto him and started to hit back.

Yugi, Tea and Ryou yelled at them to stop whereas, Gina and Jimmi jumped onto them to pull them apart, they were joined by Duke and the newly arrived Yami, who grabbed hold of Jou and pulled him away from the crowd. He turned to Yugi as they walked away, who sat their looking confused, which caused Yami to smile, Yugi was just so cute. He realised what he was doing -just gazing at Yugi- and shook himself back into reality.

"I just need to talk to Jou here real quick, I'll be right back" he grinned and continued pulling Jou away who was trying to land a punch at Yami, who for someone quite short, seemed rather too far away to hit. "Quit trying to hit me, I had something to tell you, which you're going to love! For real, I'm just trying to help you out here, give you a push"

Jou started confused, but listened to what Yami had to say to him, his eyes widened as he heard what Yami told him, his brain trying to process the words coming out of his friend's mouth.

Me? Seto? Together? those words never fit in a sentence with one another, but Yami assured him what he told him was the truth "He told me himself, yeah I had to drag it out of him, well actually I sort of tricked him, but he told me. Thought you'd like to know"

He grinned and walked away, leaving the stunned Jou gaping at a brick wall, he didn't know whether to believe it pr not. After a few more moments he regained his calmness, and closed his mouth, he decided what he had to do.

I've got to ask him myself? It's the only way to find if it's real or not? If it is do I agree? The blonde bit his lip as he searched for Seto; sure enough he was in his usual seat. He gulped slowly and made his way over to him, trying to think of what to say.

Woofwoofpuppyshipingwoofwoofpuppyshipingwoofmeowwoof

Seto sat down on the benches, and pulled out his laptop, immediately starting it up, as was routine. People around him whispering to each other, as routine, a nervous looking blonde called Jou standing before him, not trying to punch him, as routine.

Wait? What?

Sure enough Jou; the blonde he had so much enjoyment over harassing was standing there, nervously pulling on the bottom of his shirt. His eyes were downcast, biting on his bottom lip; he glanced up at Seto, and indicated to the seat in front of him with his finger, sitting down when Seto nodded.

Gossip started with the surrounding students, someone was sat with Seto; that had never happened before, well except once with that new girl, poor thing, she never came back to school after that day.

After a few moments Seto decided to break the silence "can I help you, mutt?"

Jou flinched at the name, but looked up "yeah actually, there's something I need to talk to you about"

Seto paled, did Yami tell him straight out? That wasn't what he had in mind when he said he'd give him a push.

"What about"

"Something Yami told me, I wanted to see if it was true"

Seto frowned, then searched out Yami, who was stood watching him, and huge smile on his face, his hands held up in 'thumbs up' poses. He made a mental note to kill him later, but was lead back to Jou, who still nervously biting his lip.

"Well is it?"

Seto gulped, and thought: oh shit!

He tried to stay composed, if he didn't admit then he wouldn't appear to be turned down, people would never stop talking about it.

"What if I did? What do you think about it?" Good answer, Seto smiled, proud of himself. He watched Jou curiously, who seemed to struggle with something

"I, I think it's be great, I'd like it"

"You would?"

Jou had lost all shyness "yeah, and I think we should, together. Because I'd like to too, that is if you meant it"

Seto ran what Jou had just said through his head: yes, great, want to, together.

"I did mean it, I truly do, do you feel the same way?" Seto held in his breath as he watched Jou's reaction.

"Yes, I really like too"

Seto smiled softly, he couldn't believe that it'd gone this well, who knew the midget clone could have been any help.

"So, shall I come over tonight or tomorrow?"

Seto faulted "excuse me?"

"You know, well my place isn't really appropriate. I thought we could go to your house and do it"

Seto did a double take on that, was hearing him correctly, whoa, I didn't know he was like that "what do you mean? Exactly"

Jou shook his head, "you hear me? We can go to your house and do it together, when's good for you this evening or tomorrow? Cos I can't really do the day after then."

Do it together? It? Together? Is he saying what I think he's saying? Seto continued to stare at Jou still shocked at this new show of character.

"Well come on?" Jou perched himself on the bench table top "what do you say? Can I come round yours tomorrow, we can do it then?"

Seto pursed his lips and rested his chin in his hands "don't you think it's a little soon?" he raised an eyebrow at Jou, who is returned raised one at him.

"We only have 2 weeks to do it! The sooner we get the project done the better!"

Seto paled, the project? Yami had paired him up with Jou for the newest project they had to do? He was so going to fail!"

On second thoughts it might not be so bad, he would spend some time with the Mutt, boss him around a lot, and after all, since he probably wouldn't do any of the work anyway, he wouldn't screw it up. Seto smiled "for sure, you can come round tomorrow, I'd love to be your partner"

Jou grinned and held out his hand, Seto stared at it for a moment, then slowly grasped the hand offered and shook it. It was strange he was touching Jou in a non-violent way, he could get used to that.

Once their hands had separated Jou began talking again, very loudly and very quickly! Obviously excited.

"Cool, I was thinking we could do a volcano. You know it would be really cool, make it explode and all that. Like Bloom! I mean Boom!" he laughed and poked Seto, "You know, great wouldn't it?"

Seto sighed and held his head in his hands What is he? five? A volcano!!! He looked up to see Jou still making explosive noises.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to fail!
