YUGIOH

Dealing with Adulthood

Narr: This is another 'yaoi' K/J fic. Kaiba begins to finally have 'urges' of the teen-type, and tries many ways to solve the problem. This fic will start out as a PG-13, but by the end....I may be changing the rating up a notch, so be warned. Some things might be considered stretched or ooc. If so, I apologize. The story kind of gained a mind of it's own, the mood even jumps all over the place. Hopefully in these mad ramblings I have called writing, you readers will like it.

Warnings: yaoi, M/M, Kaiba/Joey, Kaiba/other, language, minor M/F. Also, I'd say there's not a lot of plot involved. If you're looking for one of my well thought-out stories, this isn't one of them.

Prologue.

Call it being a late bloomer, or that Kaiba was simply so focused on pretending he was 30, that it took this long for his body to realize he was actually a teenager. Finally hormones kicked in, and before Kaiba realized what was happening, he found himself becoming quickly distracted by other things instead of what he should be doing in school.....like paying attention and doing his work. Annoyed by this, he simply shrugged it off and tried to focus once again.......trying not to pay any attention to this new distraction. But after this had been happening to him for a number of days, he finally decided to figure out just what it was his mind was drifting off to.

And once he finally figured it out, he found the reason even more disturbing than the mind drifting problem, itself....he had been concentrating on other men in the class. Most of them were intellectuals like himself. Infact, most of the men he had focused on were in his Calculus class. So in denial, he decided that he wasn't watching the boys asses when they bent down to pick up their books or a dropped pencil, and it wasn't the contours of their muscles or backs as they leaned up to stretch, after sitting for so long. No, he must have simply been comparing their own intellect to his own.....perhaps to find someone worthy of respect in this school, besides himself.

But then.....Kaiba realized he really did have a problem, when his mind next began to drift to thinking in those ways about Joey Wheeler. That was the last straw, and Kaiba decided he had to do something about this. And his decision on how to handle this was to, of all things......date a girl.

Yes....still in denial, he decided that since he deprived himself of physical attention with anyone else for this long, maybe his basic needs were simply confused. So he would find some woman who was already throwing herself all over him, in order to fix the confusion about looking at guys.

Still, he didn't want to actually gain any real interest in anyone, either....he simply wanted to fix the problem. The easy solution to this was to pick a girl that was physically appealing, yet also be someone he wouldn't actually 'like' to be with, otherwise. This gave him a wide range of women to choose from at the school. Now all he would have to do was look for the right girl, when it came along. Then after possibly using and tossing her away, he figured things would get back to normal. And once everything was fine again, he could then dump her afterwards and that would be it.

Just as he suspected, it didn't take long. Atleast once a day, there was some girl who would come up to make a move on him, again.....and low and behold by the time he hit English class, one of the popular click girls had shown up like he knew they would.

Kaiba glanced up as she hovered by his desk, saying, "Hi Kaiba, (giggle!) uh.....I was having some trouble with reading this chapter, and I was wondering if I could maybe have your help with it, or something.....you know? (tee-hee!)"

Good lord, it was 'her'. She had to be the worst of the women. And it wasn't her looks.....in that aspect, she had to be the best of the bunch. It was her personality, her intelligence of lack-of, it was the way she talked. Actually, it was especially the way she talked that made him see her as the worst. That weird click language the popular girls had a tendency of picking up, she sounded that way all the time. It made him want to hit her just listening to her. And all this girl ever did was talk. Once she opened her mouth, it's as if nothing could stop it.

But there she was in all her glory.....and every word from 'the mouth that would never end' made him want to bend over his desk and hurl on the spot. But then, isn't that was he was looking for? Maybe this was just what he needed. Now if he could only find some duct tape to keep her quiet.

Infact, he felt if she didn't open her mouth, her beauty rate would go up tenfold. As he considered that, he wondered if she knew of this problem? And as she still continued to talk, he also wondered if he should tell her of this knowledge? Would that chase her away, or lead her to think he was coming onto her?

The woman was still talking.

Strangely enough, another movement caught his attention, and he realized to his amusement he wasn't the only one feeling disgust from this woman. Wheeler had also glanced back looking pretty sick towards her, by the way she was acting around Kaiba.

Then there was another one of the geek squad looking her way. He was the one with the single spike in his hair sticking up, though his name alluded Kaiba. Either way, the guy seemed envious, like he wanted to get in the girl's pants. Infact, even Tea looked angry, for some reason. Kaiba glanced at Tea, and wondered, 'What's wrong, Gardner.....jealous?'

Infact, out of the entire group, Yugi seemed to be just about the only one that wasn't nosey enough to look over......not that Kaiba cared. Then suddenly, Kaiba wondered why he was even looking towards them in the first place?

The thought brought him back to hearing the woman's annoying rambling, yet again. She still didn't stop talking? No wonder he was focused on Yugi's group.....Kaiba was unconsciously doing anything he could to escape from paying attention to this woman. It was time to get this over with.

Looking very agitated now, Kaiba snapped irritably, "Will you please stop rambling like an idiot, and just get to the point?"

"Huh??" She unintelligently asked back.

"You didn't come here to ask me to 'read' to you. Just tell me what you're really here for, before I get too ill from having to listen to this." Kaiba answered, offering no sign of politeness to her.

She didn't seem to let that bother her in the least though, as she said, "Wow, you really knew that? That's why you're so smart in this school....it's just amazing how smart you are."

"And stop sucking up. Listen, I really can't stand listening to you. Every piece of drivel that spouts from your mouth gives me the urge to rip your lungs out, just to make you stop. So, I'm only going to ask this once more: shut up and get to the point, before I lose my patience."

That caused her to stop and blink. Kaiba wasn't sure if she was confused that he dared talk to 'Ms. Popular and ditz cheerleader of the school' that way, or was simply confused from the big words. "Uh....you want to go out with me?" She finally asked.

'Good, that meant she actually understood what I said.' Kaiba thought.

Kaiba turned back to his homework, let out a tired sigh, then answered, "We'll discuss it. Meet me at my limo after school....we'll talk there."

The woman looked at him wide-eyed, as if Kaiba had just spoke a different language. A moment later, she then bounded away back to her seat, tickled pink from what he had said to her....it was the closest any girl had ever gotten to going out with him. Kaiba could just imagine the dollar signs shining in her eyes. But then he only had intentions on using her, probably not something she had even considered. No....he was pretty sure that she was the one that intended on doing the using. Poor foolish girl.

Hi. It's been a long time since I've done any new fics. Actually, this isn't really new. I stopped writing a year ago, but I had a couple completed fics I never submitted because I wasn't very sure on the quality of these stories. But I sent this out anyway as kind of a Xmas present for anyone that liked my past fics desperate enough to get another shot. I can't guarantee it's to the quality I used to do, but here it is. Hope you like it.

To start this, I'll be submitting the first three chapters (starting with Chapter 0, meaning up to Chapter 2). After that, I'll probably do every 2 chapters until it's done.

I have another story to be put out as well in the future, though I can't guarantee when, as of yet. I'm still doing some re-editing of some of my older stories as well, so they don't look so crappy.

Anyway, merry Xmas and happy New Year. No, this is not a Xmas fic, just a Xmas present for Yugioh fans.
