A/N: Yea I know, script format abuse got it kicked. So can you NOT report me thanks!

Sometimes I hate being right.

First, I find that I lost my charm bracelet that Shizuka got me. I'm forced to walk to school, I get rudely awaken from my nap by having my head collide with the very tangible desk and as expected I had an argument with moneybags. Also all of my friends split due to there own confrontations, in the process ditching me with "Mr. Kaiba" yet again, I signed a contract to enter a fashion show that I was unknowingly dragged into, blend on high for 3 minutes add salt to taste and top with a generous helping of a family dinner and you've got yourself one hell of a bad day.

I bet you are all wondering what I am rambling about, Am I right, of course I am, I always am. Here let's start from the very beginning.

He felt it.

He felt it when he woke up, he felt as he took a shower, as he got dressed, ate, and as he walked to school. He knew he was going to feel it all day if not longer. See Jounouchi Katsuya woke up on the wrong side of the bed. To most people this would not be more then a silly superstition, but when you've seen 5000 year old sprits walking out in the street been sent to a world of shadows, died more then 2 times and are still alive you learn to believe in these "silly superstitions." He felt it as well as soon as he woke up he knew. It was one of those mornings when your head is all foggy and you know you are going to have one of the crappy days. Yeah, Jou had that, only five times worst.

He was at school 30 minutes early not meeting Honda like usual. Last night the blond actually bothered with his homework in the dire case of extreme boredom. The norm would be he went out with his friends, came home, had dinner with pops, played some game on the internet, chat on instant messenger set up by Kaiba Corporations, then head to bed. But last night his father was working late on some case for his new boss and was not home for the norm supper, so being as bored as he was he finished his homework. Taking it out and placing it on his desk looking over it wearily already knowing it to be prefect he yawned. He finally plopped his head on the desk.

His father now lived in the "ritzy" part of town where he worked, only needing 10 minutes to get to work resulting in him sleeping in and not driving Jounouchi to school, leaving Jou to walk. Of course the blond could take the limo his dad had -the one with the sexy driver- but just because he had money -and brains- he wasn't going to flaunt it to make himself feel good. Being indescribably tired he closed his eyes for a little nap.

Oh yea, this is exactly how I wished to be awakened by nearly gaining a concussion from my head colliding with the desk in force that was all but unnecessary. I growl pushing myself off the floor. Yea, I know I sound like a dog, but don't go telling anyone I think that, or admitted it.

"Honda Hiroto, when I stand I betta not see ya fuckin' face or so help me Kami! You'll need some extreme PS to make it look da same again" I lay on the accent thickly. I knew it was him, who else would it be? Yugi is too nice. Ryou is my best friend since almost birth. Bakura, regardless of what is said about him is a nice guy. Yami, he isn't that childish and wouldn't dare hurt his friend. Malik has yet to arrive due to my stealing of his motorcycle, oh yes he will be pissed. Otogi hasn't arrived yet. Kaiba wouldn't waste his time. Oh yeah, and the small fact I can see his pointed head shadow in front of me proves my hypothesis.

I could hear his footsteps retreating away and chairs rustling around. I turn around to see Honda with a 'I didn't do it' look, why does he lie? I clench my fist tightly standing without any help. I then proceed to slowly walk with a smile on my face, showing him I won't hurt him. He relaxed a bit, and then I charge at him.

"There's no point, just calm down." Yugi tried to calm me down, holding me back, did he think that would work?

"No, the bastard, he nearly smashed my brain." I say as I pull away.

"Not much there to lose." I hear Honda mutter, further fueling my anger. I felt like yelling at him. I then go to charge again and attack him when he screams like a little girl and hops over the desk to the front of the class and runs behind Otogi who had just walked through the door. I hate being called stupid. It's an act to make your mediocre pride grow I am not stupid!

"Calm down mutt, you seem to be embarrassing your friends."

"I ain't no dog!" I seethed "Just shut your trap and stay out 'f this." I was beyond angered, I was livid.

"And why, exactly would I do a thing like that?" his eyebrow rose in that really cute way he does.

"'Cuz Einstein it's none 'f your business." I turn to from Honda to glare at Kaiba.

"Of course it is pup, a master looks after his pet. Wouldn't want you to get hurt would we?" he smirks back in that extremely sexy 'I want you' look or the

'You are the scum on my shoe.' Hmm I can never tell the difference. Wait. Now I just realized I thought he was cute and sexy! ACK! This is Kaiba I'm complimenting. Though true only my thoughts, but he loathes me, always degrading me, but when he calls me his pup my heart does skip a beat. I shake my head to be rid of those thoughts angered with myself. I sigh trying to retain the heavy emotion 1. I flop to my seat which happens to be right beside the CEO.

"I'm in no mood to contribute to one of our tedious spats at the moment." My voice lowered taking on an intellectual air to it. It happens when I am mad, I forget about my façade. Ha, that's one word few would attach to my name -intellectual- and frankly I grow weary of it. I sigh again dropping my head to the desk, I feel a gently hand on my shoulder. "Just fuck off okay, Ryou." I say quietly closing my eyes.2

"What's wrong chi-chi" It was Bakura he's the only one who would ever even think about calling me by that. He started calling me that when we were going out. Oh, yeah! SURPRISE I was once the boyfriend to one older than dirt thief.

"What do you mean Bakura?" Sure I had my own pet name for the thief but that was for special situations.

"In homeroom." Yeah, all of us have the same homeroom. Now we- I and he- were in the hells of Enriched Chemistry. Yes, believe it or not Bakura was in an enriched class and -shock- passing. Seems the tomb robber has a thing for blowing things up. Who would have thought?

"What about it?" I asked quieter seeing the teacher just walk in.

"What was with the "wheeler" moment?" Bakura asked being one of the few 3 to know about my alias outside family

"I'm just sick of being called stupid, I am far from."

"Just tell them than." The thief was absent mindedly chewing on a small ball of paper.

"I will not flaunt my intelligence, I like being carefree reliable Jou. Not "Jou can I copy your math homework." You know." I sighed watching my Ex assault unaware pupils with ammo from his arsenal of spitballs. "I just want to be normal." I got shot a look from the thief as if I grew another head. "Okay, not so much normal since that will never happen in domino city, but at least without a photographic memory. I want to be Jounouchi Katsuya and I want Joey Wheeler to just be forgotten."

"Or you could make it your goal to be Kaiba Katsuya and forget both names. It has a nice ring to it ne?"

"Stfu."4 I smack him upside the head.

-Lunch- , undoubtedly my favorite period. Have I told you that my dad has recently become a near vegan? HE WONT EVEN EAT CHEESE! I mean it's cheese, who gives up the right to indulge in such a immensely pleasing dairy product. Not my that's for sure. So I sit down waiting for my extremely fating, artery clogging, but of so indulgent cheese burgers, fries and dessert, with a diet Dr. Pepper. (It just tastes better). I claim my seat beside Bakura and wait for the rest of the gang. Honda finally came up sitting beside me with my lunch.

"The lines a bitch." He says before inhaling his food. I shortly follow, I mean I'm starving I haven't all day. I'm not into the tofu crap in my fridge. I hear a snort to my diagonal and lo and behold it's Mr. Kaiba. I stop eating immediately.

"Got something to say KAIBA?"

"No, Not at all mutt." He smirks.

And hence the beginning of the daily fight.

"He's getting better, I guess. We'll go into a story and he'll steal something, and won't even know he is doing it! He has slight kleptomania tendencies the doctor says. I think I know that I have been with him since I was 14."

"He's getting better, I guess. We'll go into a story and he'll steal something, He has slight kleptomania tendencies the doctor says. I think I know that I have been with him since I was 14."

"Really? Marik is just plan crazy and paranoid, not to mention his unnatural obsession with fluffy animals. I think I might just buy a pet. To keep him out of my hair, literally. 5"

"Yeah, I believe that I've seen him with Honda's dog. 6"

"Mmhmm, if I was that dog I think I'd cry. No one deserves that kind of fawning from a psychopath."

"Stop talking about us." The two boy's look-a-likes demanded.

"How'd you hear us, we were whispering?" The Egyptian boy asked. Tapping his temple answered for the blond Egyptian sprit.

"I can hear the tiniest things, comes with being a thief. Even ask chi-chi he'll tell you." The thief shrugged.

I thought I told you not to listen to my thoughts.+

#Who is chi-chi?# 7

(Yami, what is the date of today?) Yugi Motou, 17 year old vertically challenged one asked his other self. (Saturday was the 14 so...today is-?")

((The 16th yes. About Saturday...))

(Sorry Yami, hold that thought.)

"The 21st is this Saturday ne?" Yugi asks no one in particular.

"Ever'one YUUGE'S" I quickly quip abruptly stopping my argument.

"What are you geeks on about?" Oh right, Kaiba's new. I go on as if I wasn't insulted, and I wasn't anyone who Kaiba even acknowledges shouldn't be insulted.

"It's quite simply Kaiba, really. A sort of tradition you could say." Otogi starts.

"Mmhmm, we all gather to watch this really cool show called "Where are they now" It's about famous people or icons that just up and disappeared." Anzu finishes.

"I've only been there twice but the show is really good and it's fun to just hang around with your friends." Mokuba nods grinning, Nakita makes a good point.

"Hn?" his eyebrow quirk then shakes it off as everyone continues their previously disregarded conversations...if you can call them that.

An exaggerated sigh. "Fine my place again, why do I always remember? So are you all coming or what?" If you haven't yet to guess, the person who remembers always hosts, it's an unwritten rule, sort of like the first person to sleep at a sleepover makes breakfast. Stupid and unneeded but always happens.

"yea." From a number of them, and

"mmhmm" for the rest.

"Sorry, can't, I've got a date that day." Anzu declines before anyone noticed anyone said anything, the conversations/arguments continue.

"Speaking of fashion." Nakita starts from their previous topic of clothing. " Anzu, you and Mokuba promised to help me with the show." Hmm? Show what does she mean be that? Does she mean a fashion show?

"Oh yeah, when is rehearsal!" Anzu asks. Yeah I'm listening to their conversation as well as fighting with Kaiba.

"Today in a few minutes, we have to recruit some people." Her smile, I don't like it. It reminds me so much of Bakura, it's not even funny.

"How about my brother and Jou." Mokuba, you have to love that kid. Wait, what? ME! For what may I ask?

"That will work." Nakita seems to be in deep contemplation.

I don't trust them, not one bit. Sneaky little buggers, them grade nines. They are soon to leave accompanied by Anzu.

(-Yugi, why'd you have the Mind Link off?-)

(On Saturday? No reason.) The teen sent a mental shrug.

(-You could have gotten hurt.-)

(I wasn't it was no big deal.)

(-Aibou, what if you have gotten hurt? What if I couldn't protect you.-)

(Protect me? NEWS FLASH I am a big boy PHAROAH! I can take car of myself!)

(-But little one--)

"LITTLE NOTHING! I'm not a child contrary to appearances I can take care of myself and god damn it I don't need you protection!" The angered teen picked up his tray harshly dispensing of the waste before stomping from the cafe.

"Damn it Bakura, he's my best friend you could've at least told me. SHUIT! I had the right to know!" Ryou spoke in angered silenced

"I must have forgot?" The thief sprit tried.

"BULL SHIT! Goodbye Bakura." Needless to say everyone was completely shocked.

"ALL I WANT IT SOME FUCKING PRIVACY! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Malik yelled at his psychotic yami.

Silently the pharaoh followed his light's led by leaving the cafeteria.

"Shit, I really messed up huh chi-chi. I'm going to think." The tomb robber whispered to his Ex before leaving.

Malik left mumbling about stupid lights and privacy.

The left 4 teens starred at the two exits.

"Now, I wonder why they all left." I spoke sarcastically.

"Well, Jou you see they had a fight a sort of falling out. Now we are going to have to fix it." Honda explained as if I was a child, did he not catch my sarcasm.

"So, Honda you take the Light's I've got the darks." Otogi spoke.

"right."

"'ey what about me." Two of my best friends just stomped off angrily, not to mention I know the most about all three of them. They NEED my help.

"No offence bud, but with your brains you'll probably mess it up more." Honda answers.

I glare. I should take this as a compliment seeing as my acting skills fool him but he is a plan idiot that has just enraged me.

"...Honda, I'm not stupid and for your not so capable intelligences I'll repeat myself which I hate to do. FUCK OFF." I say calmly finishing off the rest of my soda. The two standing teens starred.

"I'm more then sure he means leave." The up till now silent CEO glared before the two idiots ran off. I blinked. Kaiba...sticking up for me. Maybe he is not so bad. "You know you voice changes when you are mad." He said more to him self then to me. "And good job with the idiot." He heard the change in my voice... He complimented me...I think.

"Ya know, If I wasn't shocked at everyone havin' a fight. Not ta mention being completely irk'd by Hond' I might think yer complimenting me." I shifted my gaze to my still left chocolate pudding. I hope he doesn't notice my voice change.

"You never know, I just might be." He smirked at me shrugging.

"Did Kaiba just crack a joke, I might just faint." I feigned surprise.

"Just when I thought you dropped the charade, too." He looks back at his laptop. Does, he know? He can't, can he? I have to fine out.

"Whadda hell does dat -"

"Jou! Seto! Just the two we're looking for. Where'd everyone else go!" I was cut short be the younger nicer Kaiba. If you are wondering, the rumors, they're true. 8 Mokuba was holding a disposable camera and sheets of paper. Quickly followed by a very buisnessy ( I am cognisent 9 that it is not a word. I just don't care.) looking Nakita carrying a clipboard. She was wearing a short black business suit skirt with a black jacket and a hot pink button up shirt. 10 With black and pink converse. She was accented with kohl, not eyeliner there is a difference and had a pencil preached behind her ear. Of course her outfit was out of dress code, but with Bakura as a "brother" what teacher would talk.

"Nakita, 'ow many times do ya change a day?" I ask her, she seems to be in a different outfit every hour.

"About 7" she shrugged like it was nothing, well that explains a lot. "I'm a designer this is what I do." That is true, she does design clothing and very well I might add.

"Big brother." From the couple of years I have known Mokuba I know he only uses that now to get something he wants. "Jou" yes... "Can you help us?" Of course, just with what?

"what is it?" Kaiba shuts the lid of his laptop to acknowledge his brother.

"wit what?" I ask staring suspiciously

"Just say yes and sign..." The brit girl trails off taking the papers from Mokuba, contracts? "here."

"What is this." The brunette glanced it over it was.

"I don't sign contracts, 'kita you kno who my dad is, I ain't aigning notin. Wit out 'im" I spoke.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, it's nothing bad, I promise." They both pleaded using the heavy guns.

"Fine." Kaiba caved first melted by the puppy-dog eyes Mokuba was giving him.

"ACK!" That's mine. "No fair!" She cannot use my own weapon. "That's MY LOOK I taught you that look. You can't use it against me, I am the creator." She pulled the puppy-dog pout, that is not even close to being relatively fair. I tried not to look, I failed.

"Fine." I caved. Both of us signed earning rub crushing hugs from both freshman.

"Great thank you! Soooooooooo much! Now smile!" heh? Smile? Somehow I ended up being pushed to the other side of the table, the same side as Kaiba. I pouted what the hell is going on? Oh, pictures. I smirk at the camera and at the face Kaiba has on right now, a little work and he would have made a killer model that pout is ADORABLE. -- I just called him adorable.

FLASH and they were both off.

"What did we just do?" I plopped down on the other side of the table again.

"Maybe we still have time to commit suicide." The older of us jokes. I starred at him before falling of my chair laughing. KAIBA JOKING AHAHAH that's fucking hilarious.

Jounouchi fiddled with his keys as he opened the door to his house (A/N: coughmansioncough) He stepped through the door kicking of his shoes. He saw a female cleaning off the TV.

Jounouchi fiddled with his keys as he opened the door to his house (A/N: mansion) He stepped through the door kicking of his shoes. He saw a female cleaning off the TV.

"Hey Manni." He called to the maid.

"Jounouchi-sama." She bowed deeply before continuing her work.

"Don't do that it's too formal completely unnecessary, and you don't need to speak Japanese, I'll understand your native speech." The Blond feel to the couch.

"Sí, Jounouchi." She continued with her work. She was half Spanish, quarter Japanese and quarter Chinese.

"Is my dad back?"

"No, Jounouchi." Just as she said that the phone rang, she went to answer it but Jounouchi beat her to it waving her away.

"moshi, moshi"
"Katsuya"
"oh, hello dad."
"I want you to meet someone."
"oh?"
"yes, can you meet me at Chez Antonio "
"and how am I to get there?"
"Tori, will drive you and be on your best behavior when you arrive, and do not come in your school-"
"uniform, I know. Yeah, I'll be there."
"Ja ne."
"Ja."

Jou stepped out of the car, a - dark blue- limo, why a limo? Well Toshiji Ken 11was and is a very strange man. He approached the classy restaurant away from the red hair, fox in the driver seat 12. He waved to the man who was only a little older then Jou himself. He was dressed in tight black slacks (no not leather) and a half buttoned up green shirt. He walked up to the greeter.

"Name?" He says in a rather bored fashion.

"Toshiji."
"right this way." He voice is monotone as he leads Jounouchi into the restaurant.

"Katsuya." His father stood as the getter left. "Please meet Joie Kyara, a fellow lawyer and her daughter Hirata Michi." He introduced. "Kyara, Michi my son, Jounouchi Katsuya."

He bowed nodding to the two women in front of him.

Joie Kyara, a pretty lady with purple hair and grey/purple eyes, that night was wearing a sheer black dress strapless with shinning things on the front.

Hirata Michi, was like her mother very pretty, her hair was brown wit lighter highlights her eyes were an dark grey. She wore a high collar sleeveless dress in a sequence of descending shades of blue. She was only the age of 19.

An awkward silence over took them as they waited to ordered.

"Excuse me." The eldest male left to check a call.

After getting the attention of Jounouchi after her daughter had left, the woman asked. "I hope you don't mind me marrying your father."

"WHAT? O.o Jou nearly choked to death...on air.

I hope you like the random twist :) I mean a fight within the yugi-tachi unexpected and over very stupid things. -.-' Leaving the master and pup to socialize. I wonder what the CEO and son of a lawyer just signed? It can't be that bad right, I mean...it's Mokuba he's nice right?
