Disclaimer: Yu-gi-oh is not owned by me, enough said.

Oops. I kind of forgot about this story. I've had this chapter ready to go for over a week now, but I got so busy writing Echoes that I forgot to post it. Sadly, that's bound to happen since for now my priorities are with that story. I'll try not to neglect this one though, and if I do feel free to whine.

A special thank you to everyone who reviewed, those things mean so much to me!

Chapter 3: Encounter

Two minutes. What the hell kind of snooze button only gave you two extra minutes of sleep? Yet as Jounouchi looked at the now much hated electronic, he saw that it was only 6:17. He knew the alarm had initially gone off at 6:15, and he had immediately hit the snooze button expecting to get at least an extra fifteen minutes of sleep. Now he briefly debated hitting the snooze button again, but decided an extra two minutes wasn't worth having to hear that damn beeping again. Instead, he summoned all of his strength to haul himself out of bed and stumble around the room to gather what he'd need for his shower.

Staggering down the hall, he just barely missed getting hit by a door as another student stepped out of their room. If he hadn't felt it would require too much energy for such an early hour, he would have made some smart remark, but settled for giving the teen a glare. The other student, who seemed just as half-asleep as Jounouchi, didn't even seem to notice.

Finally reaching the bathrooms, Jounouchi immediately claimed a private shower for himself and pulled the first curtain shut. It was your typical dorm shower; it had a curtain on the outside, then a small changing area, then another curtain behind which was the actual shower. Jounouchi haphazardly piled his stuff on the bench in the changing area before stripping down and stepping into the shower.

He took a deep breath before turning the cold water on full blast. As the ice water hit his skin, he had to fight back the urge to yelp. Uncomfortable as it was, the water served it's purpose and jolted him back into the land of the living. The now freezing blond quickly turned the knob over to the side for hot water, immediately finding the perfect temperature from years of practice. As the warm water slid over his toned body, Jounouchi took a moment to close his eyes and just enjoy the feel of it. All too quickly though, his moment was spoiled as he heard the sound of several more boys entering the bathroom. He quickly went about washing his hair and body before turning the water off and stepping back into the changing area. Toweling off as best he could, he wrapped the towel securely around his waist and, gathering up his things, headed back to his room.

When he reached his door, he realized that he'd forgotten to lock it. That actually made it easier to get back in though, as his arms were somewhat full and the last thing he needed was to try and find his key. Entering the deserted chamber, he hastily put on one of his indistinguishable blue uniforms and glanced at the alarm clock. 6:40; five minutes until they started serving breakfast. Grabbing the folder the lady at the front desk had given him yesterday, Jounouchi headed for the dining hall.

Upon reaching his destination Jounouchi found that he wasn't the only one who had wanted an early breakfast, and the blond was stuck standing in line for about ten minutes waiting for food. To make things worse, Jounouchi was surrounded by a large group of junior high girls who spent the entire wait debating which of the new students was the cutest and which of their classmates looked like they had put on weight or changed their hair over break. These girls were about his sister's age, but he had never found her this annoying; then again, he'd never really hung out with her when she was around her friends. Perhaps Shizuka was just as much of a gossip as these girls.

When he finally had his plate full to capacity with offerings of every kind, he headed up the stairs and began scanning for his friends. He figured at least one of them had to be here. Finally, he spotted Yugi and Anzu seated at a table with who appeared to be Yami, Malik, and Kaiba. Jounouchi felt his pulse quicken at the sight of the brunet, and he tried to brush it off as first day nerves. That required ignoring that it had stated at the sight of the other boy though, and Jounouchi quickly decided it was too early to have to put this much thought into anything...even excuses.

Making his way over to the table, he was cheerfully greeted by most of the occupants. He noticed Kaiba was silently reading a newspaper and seemed to be having only a cup of coffee for breakfast. Luckily, the chair to the brunet's left was empty, and Jounouchi decided to use that to his advantage.

Standing just behind the chair he addressed Kaiba. "Anyone sitting here?"

Kaiba never even looked up from the article he was reading. "Do you see anyone there?"

"I was just being polite."

When Kaiba failed to respond or even acknowledge that he had heard the blond, Jounouchi set his tray on the table and sat down. He took a few bites of his breakfast before trying once again to converse with the teen next to him.

"That was an interesting stunt you pulled last night." No response. "I bet it earned you a trip to the headmaster." Still nothing. This is like talking to a wall. A very attractive wall...wait scratch that. "I'm Jounouchi Katsuya by the way. Level 4 Earth Element-" Jounouchi stopped talking mid sentence as the teen he had been addressing folded his paper and stood up suddenly.

"Where are you going Kaiba?" It was Yami's voice that stopped the taller boy's retreat from the table.

"Somewhere where there's not all this yapping." Kaiba turned to face Yami as he spoke, although when he said 'yapping' his gaze flickered to Jounouchi.

Yami seemed to consider what Kaiba had said before gathering up his things as well. "Then I'm coming with you."

"You can do whatever you want Atemu." Kaiba's tone was harsh but nonetheless, he waited for the other boy to dump his tray and come back before exiting the dining hall with Yami at his side.

That was weird. Jounouchi moved over to the seat formerly occupied by the tall brunet and resumed eating. The group was shortly joined by Marik, Bakura, Isis, and Otogi.

Isis, who looked uncomfortable in the pink jacket and pleated blue skirt of the girl's uniform, took the seat next to Jounouchi. Noticing the strange and questioning looks she was receiving, she quickly introduced herself and Otogi, the other unfamiliar face at the table.

"I suppose I should introduce myself huh? I am the older sister of Malik and Marik, Isis Ishtar. I'm a senior and a Level 5 Spirit Elemental who possesses the power of premonitions." She motioned to Otogi who was seated to her other side. "This handsome devil is Otogi Ryujji. He's a 17 year old junior and a Level 5 Earth Elemental."

Otogi gave a charming smile before winking at Anzu who he noticed was staring. Anzu blushed and turned all of her attention to the plate of food in front of her. Satisfied with the reaction, Otogi then turned his attention to the others at the table.

"Where's Yami?" The Fire Elemental's presence was notably absent and the green eyed boy couldn't help but wonder what the reason for that was. He knew better than to assume the crimson eyed boy was still asleep in his dorm.

Malik looked up from his plate."You just missed him, he left with Kaiba. I'm surprised you didn't pass them on your way in." Malik then went on to quickly introduce his sister and Otogi to everyone at the table. He obviously had a good memory, as he was able to properly remember everyone that he had just met the night before; he even introduced Honda and Mai as they arrived.

During all of this, Jounouchi had finished his food and pulled out the folder he'd brought along. He quickly went through and made sure to sign all the pointless forms that he would need to hand in during homeroom. They were mostly emergency contact information and agreements to make sure you knew and followed the rules. He then turned his focus to picking his electives.

At Counting Blossoms, students attended academic classes from 8-2:30 and then from 2:45-5:40 they attended elective classes that dealt with their powers. Each term a student had three electives which meant they had to pick nine at the beginning of the school year and see what order the school would put them in. This was actually a bit of an illusion though, since certain electives were required for each grade. For example, every student was required to take Element Basics first term in order to review and make sure that they had complete mastery of basic skills and review what they'd learned the year before.

Also, now that he was in the eleventh grade it was required to take three terms of summoning, so that took care of four of his nine electives. Juniors were also required to take at least one text course each term which meant a class where they would learn about Elementals, not new ways to use their powers.

Jounouchi quickly scanned the two page list of electives offered to juniors and after circling Element Basics and Summoning 1, Summoning 2, and Summoning 3, he began searching for other courses that sounded interesting.

"Haven't picked your electives yet?"

Jounouchi looked up to see Honda sitting across from him holding the same electives list currently in his own hands. "Look who's talking."

"At least I went over the list last night. It's not my fault I couldn't choose which ones I wanted to take," the brunet protested.

"Well harassing me about how I didn't get around to doing it isn't going to make the choice any easier."

Honda smirked. "No, but it's an amusing distraction. Now stop bothering me and pick your electives."

Jounouchi started. "Me bother you? You started this!"

"Well sure, if you wanna get technical about it." Honda couldn't help but smile at the ease with which Jounouchi got riled up. It was almost too easy.

"Hey, you guys really ought to finish picking your electives, there will be plenty of time for joking around later." Yugi had decided to intervene before food started flying across the table.

"You finished picking yours last night didn't you Yugi?" Jounouchi knew Yugi was a lot more responsible than either he or Honda tended to be.

Yugi blushed and lowered his gaze at bit. "Actually, I selected them before the seminar."

Jounouchi and Honda both dropped their heads into their hands at Yugi's admission and a twin pair of groans were heard.

"Now if only everyone could be as responsible as you Yugi."Anzu noticed how embarrassed Yugi was about being so organized, and decided to put it into perspective. She felt he had nothing to be embarrassed about and wasn't about to have him feeling bad for something he should be proud of.

"Hey Anzu it's best not to expect two much from those two, you'll usually just end up disappointed," Mai teased.

This time it was Jounouchi and Honda whose face's flushed.

"Well thanks for having faith in me everyone, it means so much," Jounouchi voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Now if you don't mind, this irresponsible yapper is going to return to what he was doing."

Those who had been teasing him felt momentarily guilty before they noted the huge grin he had on his face. Rolling their eyes, they returned to their previous conversations.

By the time the group was done eating breakfast, Jounouchi had decided on his other five electives: Famous Elementals of the 20th Century (text), Rare and Specialty Powers (text), Using Your Powers For Defense Purposes, Element Combining, and Utilizing Elementals for the Application of Elemental Powers in the Real World (text). Satisfied with his choices, Jounouchi dug out his schedule to see what the day had in store for him.

7:50-7:55: Homeroom

8:00-8:55: Algebra

9:00-9:55: Chemistry

10:00-10:55: Literature

11:00-11:55: Appreciation of the Arts

11:55-12:30: Lunch

12:30-1:25: History

1:30-2:25: P.E.

2:45-5:40: Electives

Dinner was served buffet style from 6-8 and the rest of the time students could spend however they wished. Junior high students had a nine o'clock curfew but no such restrictions were placed on those in high school. Apparently, the school felt high school students were more responsible. If only they knew Jounouchi folded his schedule and placed it in his back pocket before rising to dump his tray.

"Hey Jounouchi what homeroom are you in?"

Jounouchi looked down to see Yugi standing beside him, bright smile adorning his always cheerful face. "I ended up in Professor Lishi's class. What about you?" Jounouchi didn't even need to wait for Yugi to answer as he could tell by the way the smaller boys face lit up that they had ended up in the same class.

"I'm in Professor Lishi's class too. Wanna walk to class together?"

Jounouchi glanced down at his watch. "Yeah. As long as you don't mind stopping by my room really quick, I need to grab my school stuff."

"That's fine," Yugi agreed. "It's only seven thirty, we still have plenty of time."

The two boys exited the lunch room and headed in the direction of Tagaki Hall.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After leaving what he saw as the overly noisy dining hall, Seto had settled for sitting on a bench underneath a large tree. He made sure to leave enough space for Yami, but was a bit surprised to find that the crimson eyed teen didn't sit next to him. He almost asked why he hadn't, but managed to catch himself in time. It wasn't like he cared after all. Yami instead seated himself on the grass across from Seto, sitting crossed legged and staring at the taller boy.

Seto continued to peruse the paper until the quiet staring got on his nerves. "What are you staring at?"

"You."

"Obviously," Seto snorted. When Yami only continued to stare, he got even more annoyed. "Let me rephrase it then; why are you staring at me?"

"I'm just wondering why you're reading that paper so intently. What could have possibly so captured your attention?" Yami gave Seto a suspicious glance, as if there was an additional meaning to what he said.

"I'm reading the obituaries."

Yami laughed at that. "How cheery. Perhaps tomorrow we could take a morning trip to the morgue."

Seto scowled slightly but still didn't look up from the paper. "It's too early for your sad attempts at humor Atemu, and I'm not reading them for fun. I happen to be looking for something."

"Expecting someone to die, or just hoping?"

"Neither," Seto corrected. That should be the end of it, but knowing Yami, hewasn't likely to let it go.Seto made a preemptive strike, and cut off his next line of questioning. "My motivations are none of your business. Now if you don't mind, I came out here because I expected it to be quieter. So shut up or go away."

Yami smirked. "You started talking to me Kaiba."

Kaiba started slightly, finally raising his blue eyes from the paper. "You were staring."

"I couldn't help myself. There's not a lot of scenery out here. Besides," he shrugged. " I like looking at you."

Seto rolled his eyes. "It's definitely too early for that." Grabbing one of the other sections of the paper, he tossed it at Yami. "Now you have something to do. Read, learn, enjoy, fold it into a hat if you really want to, just leave me alone."

Glancing down to see that Seto had tossed him the comics, the other boy smiled. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all...

When Seto was done analyzing and picking apart the obituaries, he moved on to the financial section. He proudly noted that Kaiba Corps stocks had gone up. Sure, he wasn't currently running the company thanks to his mandatory schooling, but he was still the CEO even if it was only in name for now. Seto went to grab the next section, when looking up he saw Isis had seated herself next to him.

"Good morning Kaiba," she greeted.

"Isis," Seto nodded in acknowledgment.

"I just wanted to thank you for last night. You didn't get in too much trouble did you?"

"Only a lecture and a visit to the headmaster himself."

"The headmaster?" Isis looked momentarily shocked before she recovered herself. "What did he have to say about your actions? Actions that were completely justified might I add."

Seto shrugged. "Just another lecture about how things are done at this 'respectable institution'. He's too thrilled about having us here to actually come down hard on any of us."

"I suppose that's true," Isis mused. "Anyway Kaiba, you may not think much of Counting Blossoms, but there is more here for you than you might think."

Seto regarded her skeptically. "Let me guess, you saw it in a premonition?"

Isis nodded her head. "Your destiny awaits you here Kaiba."

Seto brought a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Please don't start that again Isis. You know I don't believe in your premonitions."

"I know that, but I also know what I saw." Isis wasn't going to push the issue, but even with the unclear vision she had gotten, she was certain that Kaiba's arrival at Counting Blossoms would start a series of events in his life into motion. She just wished she knew how it would all work out. Unfortunately, that was the downside of premonitions- they never showed you the whole picture.

Yami abandoned the comics and approached Isis. "So, what do you see in my future?"

Isis rolled her eyes, but smiled anyway. "I've told you Yami, you will do great things and be an exulted leader."

"Yes I know, but I was hoping for something less long term." He held out his hand, but Isis didn't touch it.

"I'm not a daily horoscope you know."

"Why don't you just tell him that he will die an excruciatingly painful death, caused by his habit of bothering people. That ought to appease him."

Isis turned to Kaiba with a reprimanding look on her face. "You know very well, I never lie about what I see."

If she hadn't known better, she would have sworn Kaiba looked taken aback. "Besides, his excruciatingly painful death will be the direct result of a misunderstanding at the zoo."

Seto had to suppress a laugh at that. Even Yami looked amused by the comment from the normally serious Egyptian. Until he began questioning the truth of the statement that is. Opting to play it safe, he made a mental note to avoid any trips to the zoo in the foreseeable future.

"So, are you going to tell me my future or not?" He asked again.

"Oh fine, give me your hand." Isis took Yami's hand and shutting her eyes focused all of her energy on her task.

Opening her eyes again she looked at Yami. Her eyes seemed to be momentarily translucent before they shifted back to their normal shade of blue.

"Well?" He knew she had seen something, and now he was anxious to hear what it was.

"Stay away from Malik today."

Seto scoffed. "That's not a premonition Isis, that's just sound advice."

"Hey, that's my baby brother you're talking about," she teasingly warned.

"That doesn't make him any less of a menace."

Unable to argue with the truth, Isis returned her attention to Yami.

"Trust me on this one Yami, stay away from him today."

Yami nodded, curious as to what kind of trouble Malik would be causing so soon at a new school, but not wanting to be there to find out. As he brought his hand out of Isis' grip he noticed his watch. 7:43.

"Hey you guys, if I'm not mistaken, we should start heading to class."

Isis looked at her own watch and rose to her feet. "Oh shoot, I have to hurry or I'll never get to that building on time." Straightening her skirt she began heading across the campus, waving a quick goodbye over her shoulder.

Seto also lifted himself off the bench. "Where are you heading Atemu?"

Yami reached into his bag and pulled out his schedule. "Grimson Building, room 233. Why?"

He knows, he just wants me to say it. "I figured if we were heading in the same direction...anyway, we're not so it doesn't matter." Seto turned on his heal and headed off towards his own homeroom.

With a sigh, Yami took off in the opposite direction.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

With about a minute to go until class started, Jounouchi was caught up in a game of cards with Yugi. So caught up, that he didn't notice Kaiba enter the classroom until he heard Marik call out to the taller teen. Kaiba seemed to pause and take inventory of the group surrounding Marik before heading to a desk over in the opposite corner.

"Typical." Marik got out of his desk, and gathering up his own things, headed over and took the desk directly in front of Kaiba.

Well, Kaiba certainly isn't very friendly.

"You know, that Kaiba sure doesn't seem very friendly."

For a second Jounouchi thought he had spoken aloud, but then realizing the voice mirroring his thoughts had been female, he turned to see Anzu in the desk previously occupied by Marik.

"Maybe he's just shy," another voice put in.

"I don't know Yugi, he sure seems confident. I mean every time he looks at someone it seems like he's looking down on them. He just seems arrogant to me." Honda nodded when he finished speaking as if to show how much he believed what he was saying.

"But we hardly know him, we should at least give him a chance."

Yugi was always giving people the benefit of the doubt, but this time Jounouchi really hoped his friend was right.Turning to take a peak at Kaiba, he saw that he engaged in a conversation with Marik. So he's not against talking to everyone...

The sound of high heels brought the attention of the class to the front of the room. Standing there was a women with shoulder-length red hair and sharp green eyes. She was dressed in a black skirt and a light blue blouse, covered in a black blazer. She appeared to be in her mid-forties, and as she regarded the students in front of her she smiled brightly.

"Good morning class, I'm Professor Lishi and this will be your classroom for most of the day. Since we only have five minutes we need to get started. So, if you could all take out the forms you were told to have ready today and pass them forward, I'll go ahead and collect them." Students began digging into their bags, but she simply raised her voice to be heard over the noise. "I'm also going to be passing around a seating chart, if you could please put your name where you are seated now, I'll be able to leave this here for the rest of the teachers. Don't think of it as assigned seats, you will only need to continue in these seats until your teachers are more familiar with your names." Handing the sheet of paper to one of the students in the front row, she returned to her desk and picked up another sheet.

"I'm also going to need someone to take attendance every morning," Anzu's hand immediately shot up. "Ok miss. Here's the list so why don't you go ahead and get started."

Anzu headed to the front of the class and began to take roll. Professor Lishi in the meantime collected the forms from the front row students. After his own name was called, Jounouchi completely zoned out. It wasn't until he heard the bell ring that he realized homeroom was over. Deciding he might have missed something important, he poked Yugi, who was in the desk in front of him.

"Hey, were their any important announcements?"

Yugi frowned slightly. "You weren't paying attention?"

"No, not really," Jounouchi blushed.

"Well, you didn't miss much unless you're planning to run for student council or join the cheerleading team."

"Anything else important?"

Yugi shook his head and then turned back around, getting his things ready for their next class. Jounouchi took a look around to see who else had ended up in his class this year. Yugi, Anzu, Marik, and Honda were all present and accounted for, and he also spotted Ryou sitting in the desk across from Marik. Those two seemed to have become fast friendsalthough Jounouchi suspected Marik didn't intend to keep things platonic for long.

What really caught his attention though, was the fact that Kaiba was exiting the classroom. Now this wasn't against the rules or anything, but the fact that Kaiba was taking all of his things with him was highly unusual. Like most Japanese schools, at Counting Blossoms students stayed in one class and it was the teachers who rotated around the rooms. The exceptions being classes that required special rooms like science labs or the gym. Five minutes were given between classes during which students could go to the bathroom or get something out of their lockers, but since you were coming back, it wasn't necessary to take your things with you. Kaiba seemed to actually be leaving the classroom.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Jounouchi found himself rising to follow the taller boy. Stepping into the hall, he watched as Kaiba made his way effortlessly down the crowded stretch. People just seemed to part to let him through. Jounouchi had more difficulty navigating the halls, and ended up having to shove people out of his way more than once. It didn't take him long to realize that Kaiba was headed for the stairs, and that left him confused because it would seem to indicate the taller boy's intent to leave the building entirely.

More curious than ever, Jounouchi followed his prey down the several flights of stairs and reached the bottom just in time to see the brunet turn a corner. Desperate not to lose sight of the other boy, Jounouchi picked up his pace and raced around the corner. As he did so, he felt his feet slip out from under him, and he barely had time to brace himself as he crashed to the floor.

A pained grunt escaped him as he pushed himself up onto his hands and knees, but as he glanced back to see what had caused his fall Jounouchi found himself staring at the impossible. Granted, it was perfectly normal to slip on a patch of ice. However, it was not normal to slip on a patch of ice in April... inside a building. Thinking he was imaging things the blond shut his eyes, only to open them and find himself still looking at the baffling patch of ice.

"Why are you following me?"

Following the low cadence of the voice, Jounouchi turned his head enough to see Kaiba leaning against the wall. The relaxed gesture was negated though by the seriousness of his voice and the menacing glare he was casting the blond's way.

Recognizing the Level 5 Elemental already had an advantage over him as it was, Jounouchi rose to his feet.

"I wasn't following you," he lied as he turned to face his accuser.

Pushing away from the wall, Kaiba took a step closer. "You're a terrible liar. You've been watching me since I got here, and you haven't even had the stealth to be subtle about it."

Jounouchi felt his cheeks heat at being caught, and he could only hope the blush didn't show as strongly as it felt.

"I don't know what you're up to," Kaiba continued. "But I'll find out. And when I do..." His blue eyes narrowed suddenly and he practically pounced on Jounouchi. The blond didn't even have a chance to avoid the hands that grabbed for his shoulders, shoving him backwards and pinning him to the wall. "Did he send you?" Kaiba hissed. "Are you one of his little spies?"

Shocked and a little bit afraid of the taller boy's irrational behavior, Jounouchi could only shake his head. The temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees and Jounouchi could feel his skin chilling from the moment Kaiba had laid a hand on him. He was starting to wish he'd just stayed in the classroom.

"You go back and you tell him I meant what I said," Kaiba instructed. The temperature around the two boys seemed to drop even further, and their breath became visible from the cold. "You tell him my answer is no!"

The situation was getting out of hand, and that didn't sit well with Jounouchi. Snapping out of the daze that had so far held him motionless, he went to deliver a punch to Kaiba's ribs. The brunet anticipated this and stepped to the side to skillfully avoid it. He hadn't anticipated Jounouchi stepping with him though, and the hit he took to the jaw sent him staggering back a few steps.

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about," Jounouchi ground out through clenched teeth. "I'm not working for anyone."

Blue eyes seemed to study him for a moment before their owner was apparently satisfied he wasn't lying. "Then why were you following me?"

"I just wondered where you were going." Jounouchi realized there was no point in denying anything now. "I mean it's kind of early in the year to be skipping classes. Even the slackers make it to class the first few days."

Jounouchi was certain Kaiba was just going to walk away from him without giving any sort of response. At best, he figured the Level 5 Elemental might fling a few insults at him. So he was completely shocked when Kaiba spoke again.

"I was headed to the library. The administration felt regular classes would be too easy for me so they set up a system of independent study courses for me." Judging by the look on his face Kaiba was just as shocked that he had shared that information as Jounouchi was.

"So what, you're like some sort of genius or something?"

Watching Kaiba's features darken as he frowned, Jounouchi realized he had pushed it too far. "Whatever, I have to get back to class now anyway," he was about to say goodbye when he realized the other boy had already left.

Making his way back to the classroom where he was certain all he friends were counting down the seconds to see if he would be late, he realized that he had learned two very important things about Kaiba Seto in that encounter. The boy was extremely hostile and absolutely infuriating, and he had a secret. A secret that by it's very nature seemed dangerous.

Author's Notes

Ok, so this one was about half old stuff and half new stuff. In other words, I ran out of what I already had written and will have to start fresh from here on out. Fear not, I'm perfectly capable of doing so. I just have to find the time and motivation to do so.

Reviews are always appreciated, as they let me know people are actually reading this and encourage me to write more. That being said why not go ahead and leave one (hint, hint).
