As for my reviewers . . .
LPGirl05: Is this soon enough? Yeah. It is cute. That's the whole purpose for Rosa calling him that. I'm not sure, but I think Thorn will too.
DoughterofDeath: Here's a new chapter!
CrossHunt-s: I think I got the name right. N-E-who, Thanks! Glad you like it. I hope this is a soon enough update.
Yeah, well I'll try to update soon. If you want, you could read some of my other works and review there. Since the only reviews I'm getting are for this story. But, that's still good! And another thing, Disclaimers are in the first chapter.
"Rosa! Thorn! Breakfast!" Jo called from the kitchen. The first day back, Rosa had Thorn had made the house pretty livable under the careful watch of Shizuka who'd volunteered to stay home while Jou went shopping. He'd seen Honda and Malik in the store, but thankfully, they hadn't seen him.
When he'd gotten back, which was a mere 30 minutes, the house was spotless. Well by his terms anyway. So here he was, dressed in a shirt, jeans, socks, an apron and a bandana, cooking sausage and eggs. The apron and Bandana where on only because of the simple fact that he'd been tiding up that morning when he'd gotten board from staring at the ceiling all night.
Rosa and Thorn came dawn the stairs. Rosa had on white, pajamas with Yin Yang symbols all over it. Thorn was in the same only black instead of white. Rosa seemed to perk up at the smell of sausages. Taken there seats at the table they began to eat. "Mommy," Rosa began. "Whewe's awntie Sizooka?"
"She went to her apartment to get a change of clothes." Jou replied from the sink where he was washing dishes. "She should be back in a few minutes to pick us up.". "Whewe we goin?" Thorn asked. Which surprised Jou since she had a habit of speaking only when spoken to. And even then there was very little said. "We're going to go to the college we went to yesterday."
"Weawy? Can Thown an me come to?"
"Yeah! Us to!"
Jou laughed at the two's antics. Which got them very confused. "go up to you're rooms and get changed." he said after controlling his laughter slightly. "We'll be leaving in 5 minutes." And with that, the two shot up the stairs to get dressed.
(An hour later, at the school . . .)
Everyone was sitting in seats scattered across the classroom. It was the multi-lingual class that everyone had signed up for. Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Malik, Honda, Anzu, and Seto where sitting in there little group cluster in the room; talking about random events. The first monday was always the hardest for everyone.
"Hi guys!" Shizuka waved as she clamored up to the group. Everyone had been in there usual clothing since it wasn't in a school that used uniforms. "Shizuka! What are you doing here!" Anzu questioned. Cheerful that her friend was back. "I thought you where supposed to be in America for a week." Ryou added.
"Yeah. Um, about that-" she was cut off by a tug on her sleeve everyone looked down to see the brunette speckled, blonde haired toddler. Wearing a white shirt with a black stick figure upside down with a question mark over it's head, and jean Capri's. "Mommy needs oo." she said simply. Shizuka nodded and followed the two-year-old. Shooting a quick "be right back" to her friends.
After a few moments, the sensei stood up to address the students. "Students," he addressed. "We will be having a transfer student from Gulf Breeze, Florida which , of coarse, is in America." He nodded to the open doorway and Shizuka walked in followed by the two toddlers and Jou.
The other toddler, they all noticed, had short, brunette hair with blonde specks. She was wearing a black T-shirt that said 'my voices don't like you' in blood red bone letters and black jean capri pants. On her head was a black baseball cap with the BEWD on it. Not only was she not wearing shoes, but her contrast counter part wasn't either.
Jou was wearing a gray shirt with the Quotes:
"Give me Liberty, or give me Brand Muffins!"- Colin Mockery
"If I where a man with gills, I'd be a fish."- Ryan Styles imitating Shakespeare
and a pair of jeans. His hands where shoved in his pockets and his head was like he was looking at the floor. Matter of factly, his eyes where on a certain CEO who was watching him over a book.
Yugi-tachi didn't know if they should be surprised that Jou was there, or confused by the two toddlers. The only girl in the whole class who watched him, was Carlatta O'shay. The prep of the class. Her green eyes glowered at Jou. They tried to dig deeper into his chest and rip out his heart. Jealousy, was an understatement.
She'd noticed the look Jou had been Giving Seto Kaiba. it was obvious to any girl who was watching and had caught him staring at the CEO. That look of longing in his eyes made her want to grab the nearest sharp weapon and stab him repeatedly through the heart. Which she probably would have done had there been any weapons in the room.
"Mr. Jonouchi, would you please tell the class more about yourself?" The sensei asked and Jou nodded. "There's not much to tell really." He sighed. "I'm just a regular, Japanese guy.". 'That's infatuated with the gorgeous CEO sitting in the top row.' he added mentally. After nodding in approval, The sensei directed him to the seat near the window . . . which was exactly where the Yugi-tachi cluster was seated.
While the teacher droned on, Jou reached his seat. A note was on his desk written in really legible Kenji. Come to the oak tree at lunch. Jou sighed. He knew he'd have to explain it sooner or later. Feeling a paper was hit his head, he looked down and took it from Rosa who had caught it.
Stay away from Seto Kaiba you Multi-racial punk
Jou looked over in the direction it was thrown. He met the glowering green eyes of a long, orange haired girl that had her hair up in a pony tail. He glanced back down at the note.
I mean it- Carlotta O'shay
He sighed. Today was gonna be a long day.
(At Lunch . . .)
Jou was sitting at the only pine tree in the park. Shizuka was with the others or so he assumed as he sat in the base of the Oak tree. The thin, silk-like polyester jacket the colors of black and white with the number 3 on it(Nascar fans know this number well). It wasn't that cold since it was only the beginning of winter and snow hadn't fallen yet.
So he could pass with just a thin jacket. "Jou!" He looked up to see his sister waving at him with the other 8 friends following him and two other girls he didn't know. "Jou, where's Thorn and Rosa?" At the mention of the two toddlers, the tree leaves began to ruffle with movement.
Two heads appeared upside down with what little hair they had, reaching for the ground. Shizuka smiled at the two while the two new girls had a starry look in there eyes. "Kawaaaiiiiiiiii!" They chorused. "Come on down girls." Jou said to the two. "Lunch time.". Rosa smiled widely and disappeared only to reappear on Jou's back with Thorn close behind.
Rosa tried to reach for a pair of chopsticks that where on the ground from off of her mother's shoulder. She lost her balance and rolled to the ground. Sitting with her legs spread out and her hands in front of her, she shook her head to get rid of any dirt(like a puppy) and hugged the chopsticks. Causing her mother and Shizuka to laugh.
Jou snatched the chopsticks away from Rosa. "You won't need those today." he said as she looked up at him confused. "I don't?" She asked. "Why not?" Jou pulled out a bento and gave it to Rosa and Thorn who had been standing behind her sitting Hikari. When the lid was pulled off, Rosa smiled a thank you and began to dig in.
Grabbing each chicken nugget and dipping it in the sweet and sour. She stopped when she noticed Thorn looking at the food hungrily. So, she picked up a chicken nugget and handed it to Thorn who took it happily before sitting down beside her light and eating as well. Ignoring the grown ups completely. well, not really.
"Jou where have you been? It's been what, 4 years!" Honda accused. "Honda's right." Yami agreed. "We where worried about you, ya know." Yugi said. Jou sighed. "I'm guessing you want an explanation?".
"It would help clear things up mutt"(If you don't know who this is than why are you reading this?)
"Yes, I agree" Ryou said. Followed up by nods from everyone else.
"Look," Jou sighed. "I can't explain everything to all of you till I know of a certain fact that has been reluctant to show itself to me. But I will tell you that I left to get away from that abusingly drunk bastard of a father."
"What about these two." Malik asked, pointing at Rosa and Thorn. "The smaller one's Rosa." Jou explained. "She's only 2. Going on three."
"What about the other one?" Bakura asked. "Is she an older sister or something?"
"That's the funny part"
"Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuteeeeeee!"
"Ok, just who are you two anyway!" Jou asked, a little ticked off at the two other girls.
"I'm Caroline, but everyone calls me Line"
"I'm Cornilia call me Corn"
"Nice ta meet cha!" The two said in Union.
Line had long, seafoam green hair held up in a high ponytail that stopped at her waist and storm gray eyes. Corn had goldenrod colored hair that stopped at her shoulder blade and a light-brown-almost-yellow eye color.
"One thing we gotta know though," Line said.
"Who is there mother!" Corn insisted.
As if on cue, Jou looked down to see Rosa tugging on his sleeve. "Can Thown and me go pway Mommy?". "Go ahead Rosa." He smiled before she ran off to play; dragging Thorn with her. "Jou!" Honda mumbled. "You're the mom!" Malik finished since Honda seemed to shocked to say the words. Bakura had fazed back to his soul room and was laughing so hard, Ryou could see him doubled over with laughter.
"Ryou, could you tell that idiotic yami of yours to shut up?" Jou asked. "His laugh's giving me a migraine" Bakura had stopped laughing at the 'idiotic yami' comment and was now puzzled as to how Jou could hear him. But before he could faze out and ask, the bell rang. Signaling lunch was over with.
Jou stood up and smiled at his friends. "See ya later guys" he sighed before going to round up Thorn and her hyper active Hikari. Everyone else had left reluctantly so they could get good seats for class. "Shizuka, do you know where Jou's staying?" Seto asked. "Rose Thorn Manor. He'll be there tonight since he still has to get used to the Time Zone Change. And plus, It's the only area Rosa and Thorn know."
" . . . What about there - er - father? Do they have one?"
"Yes, but I'm not allowed to tell you. You'll have to ask Jou if you want to find that out"
And before Seto could ask anymore questions, Shizuka walked off to her next class, which was science.
