There will only be a kiss and some embracing, nothing more. If that does not offend you please read on and enjoy!! IADM

            It was a normal day at Domino High, except for the fact that the entire science class was waiting to find out who they were paired with for the science project. As was typical Joey was sitting the back of the classroom paying no attention to the teacher. He was smiling like a maniac in his seat. He had the biggest and best spitball he had ever made, and his target's head was directly across the room from him. He had a clear shot and was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to shot it. Meanwhile the teacher was still reading of the list of partners. There were mixed responses to her choices some jumped up and down in excitement and others tried desperately to plead their case to her. One girl actually broke out into tears when she got stuck with the ugly pizza faced kid and she ran out of the room. The poor guy just sat there looking like he had taken a blow to the gut. Joey had the spitball and the shooter all set up to fire when the teacher broke through to him.

            "Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba are partners." She said in her dry nasally voice. That really got his attention, maybe even a little too much. He was so surprised he sucked in the spitball meant for Kaiba's head, and he started choking on it. Luckily for Joey Yugi knew the Heimlich-Remover and helped Joey breathe again. Meanwhile Kaiba began to argue for the duo. His face showed his fury, any one else but the teacher would have backed down.

            "I will not work with that mutt on this project. I would rather work with a real dog than with him on this project." Kaiba started. He would have kept going if the teacher had not interrupted

            "I will not tolerate you making fun of other students in the class, young man. You are completely missing the entire point of this project, it is really to learn to work and depend on others. Basically work on your trust." She retorted while shooting daggers through her glasses at him. By this time Joey was breathing again, and wanted to fight the teacher on this decision.

            "Ma'am you can't do this to us. We're not even allowed to sit on the same side of the room because we fight too much. We have all our other classes worked out so we don't have them together. This is the only one we couldn't get changed, because it is the only science class. I will not work with that stuck up pig!" Joey was fuming by the end of his speech. The whole class was riveted on this debate; they had all seen Joey and Seto go at it one time or another.

            "You two will do this project together peacefully or you will both fail and have to try all over again in summer school. Is that clear?" She was mad now, and her eyes were almost lost in her wrinkles. They both nodded their heads dejectedly. Then she had the nerve to add, "I think you two will each other at how similar you two really are!" Joey and Seto both made a rude noise at that comment and headed back to their separate seats, they both knew there was no way out now. All around the class bets were being made at who would kill the other and how long they would last together. Joey was almost to his seat when Yugi whispered to him.

            "It'll be fine, he's not all bad. Besides I think something good and unexpected will come from this project." Yugi's eyes twinkled like he knew something Joey didn't. Joey just dismissed it and sat in his seat and glared daggers at the back of Kaiba's head. The teacher continued listing off partners. Then the teacher broke into his thoughts again.

            "Now go and sit with your new partner. You have the rest of class to discuss your project and schedule times to get together outside of school hours. Remember this is suppose to be a fun learning experience." Joey snorted at her idea of fun, the very reluctantly headed towards the seat next to Kaiba. Each of them tried to sit as far from the other as they could while still sitting at the same table. Then the devil's minion (the teacher) spoke to the two again. She called them up to her desk to speak privately with them.

            "I know you two think you hate each other," she started.

            "We do!" they replied together, and then glared at the other for daring to say the same thing they had. The teacher just gave an exasperated sigh.

            "Ahem, I believe this project will be good for you, no matter what you both think. But I feel it is in your best interest that I lay some ground rules for this group." She was now looking intently at them through her overly large frames. "You two are not allowed to do anything with weaponry of any type or anything radioactive, basically nothing dangerous. Do you understand?" Joey burst out laughing at the teacher's disgust.

            "Even you think we're going to kill each other during this project. I bet you're trying to thin out the class, and this was the best way you could think of. Maybe even get rid of two trouble makers." Joey was clearly mocking the teacher. She just glared at the two of them and dismissed them back to their seats. Kaiba was mumbling under his breath what he planned to do to the teacher if she ever pushed him any further. After one particular evil and torturous idea Joey just had to say something.

            "You have a devious mind Kaiba, but that one would be great if you could pull it off." Kaiba smirked at the compliment, but then remembered who had said it. A frown quickly took the place of the smirk and glared death at Joey.

            "You weren't supposed to be listening. I hate eavesdroppers!" He snapped at the still grinning Joey.

            "Well maybe you should talk more quietly to yourself in the future. Or not talk to yourself because that is what crazies do!" They would normally have escalated into a fight from there but the bell rang. It was a Friday afternoon and no one wanted to stay later than they had to.

            "Meet at my house at 4:30 and we'll work on the project." Kaiba ordered. Joey just nodded his head and ran out of the room.

Well what do you guys think? I know it's boring but it's all leading up to the better part. I just had to get this posted so everyone would know I'm still alive. There will be an Epilog or sequel to 'The Witness and the Guardian," but I wanted to start this story first. Please review; tell me what I need to improve on. I do take reviews seriously. They have changed the ending on at lest on of my stories. IADM
