ACK! I like so totally completely forgot to post this chapter. I mean I had it written, and then my beta got it back to me with plenty of time to spare, and then 'poof' my mind just went stupid and I forgot to post it. I mean it's not like it wasn't even ready, I just forgot. So forgive me for such the long delay. Man, and I don't really like postin chapters on the weekend.

I mean there are several reasons why, but mainly because I just find it to be an inconvenient time tppost chapters. That is if you're like me and you have no weekend because you're so busy working, and trying to run all the errands you didn't get to do during the week, and you just don't find time to be reading anything much less a crummy fanfic!

Then again, I have a friend, and when I told her this she said my logic was shot. She said, her weekend is usually boring and she has plenty of time to read fics during her slow weekend. I don't know. What do you guys think? Would you prefer if I posted chapters during the weekday or the weekends? What's more convenient for the majority of you? I really would take this into consideration the next time I decided to post a chapter.

XD! Anyways, thanks for all the great reviews guys! I'm so happy that you all like this story I decided to repay you by making this chapter even better then the last. I can without a doubt say that this is my favorite chapter, and probably will remain my favorite. I mean sure I love all the fluffy Hillary duffy romance, but what I love even more is some good old bust your gut comedy!

When I first came up with the idea for this story, I couldn't wait to get to this part. Everything was leading up to this chapter! You see when I first got the idea for this fic, it was because I was rereading one of my favorite plays. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of it, but it's called Sure Thing written by the very witty and talented David Ives. Well actually the play is called It's All in the Timing, but this play is split into many one act skits and out of all of them Sure Thing is my favorite! Well in actuality all of the acts are funny and well written, but Sure Thing is my fav and is the inspiration for my fic!

Anyways, as many of you have noticed this story bares a close resemblance to one of my favorite comedy's Groundhogs Day. You know that funny movie about a guy (Bill Murray) who, by a freak twist of fate, has to repeat his most hated day until he finally gets it right and learns what it means to live! If you haven't seen the movie and your one who loves farce and comedy with a twist of angst (I love the scenes where he tries to kill himself), then I highly recommend this movie for you.

Yeah, so getting back on subject, many people don't know that there's part in the movie Groundhogs Day that really was just a rip off of the play Sure Thing. Well it's not really a rip off (if I put it that way, it would make my fic a rip off of it too). Let's just say that Sure Thing was the inspiration to the script of Groundhog's Day. It's about a guy, Bill (what a coincidence) and a girl, Betty and their struggles in the dating world of which everybody can probably relate to. I find that I myself have fallen in more then one of these situations (comin from both ends of the dating pole).

Anyways, if any of you are interested in reading this skit, I posted a link to a site that actually has the script to read for free. I really recommend that you read this, especially if you're a fan of Groundhogs Day and my fic. There's a scene in this chapter and in the movie that you might find quite similar to this play. Besides, it's a really short one-act skit that will probably take you half the time to read compared to how long this chapter is. It's really funny also and is easy reading considering it's in play format!

Yes, and now I would like to take a moment to express much appreciation to the following peps: crazyinthehead (don't feel bad. If you got somethin to say to me, you can review or email me as many times as you want) and Lothwen the Harpist, for your great theme song ideas (they were perfect). Also Clarity for her theme idea and doujinshi donations, and of course my wonderful beta Dutchess Murasaki who puts up with my bloody chapters. Crap this is a long author post (I ramble too much). Let me end it here before I go on another rant.

So, without further adieu, the exciting result of Jonouchi's confession. I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seats (as some of you have been so advocate to profess to me in your reviews). Ohh and let me just warn you that this chapter has a slight hint of lemony freshness (I'm not sure how much I can get away with what with this being a rated R (oh I mean M now, whatever that means) fic, but let's just see how close Momo can push her luck!)

Oh and here is a note from my Beta:

Yes, this is Momochan's Beta'r, Dutchess Murasaki. Remember that even though Momochan makes mistakes, we still love 'em. Also, you have no idea how hard it is to beta sometimes! So never forget to thank your betas for the hard work he or she does. It's real hard – Momo knows from the drenched blood that is their work – so be grateful.

DM

Oh and I so totally agree! Gomen for all the bloodspill (lol)

Disclaimer: Glares at readers with shifty eyes while clutching her Yuugi plushy possessively, daring anyone to challenge her. Suddenly a magical hand appears, slaps her with a court notice stating "that she does not own Yugioh in any way, shape, or form", and then takes the Yuugi plushy away from her.

That's What Makes the World Go Round and Round

Chp4 The Sure Thing

"You what?" Seto blurted out loudly.

"I said I love you," Jonouchi repeated in an almost too calm fashion.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Seto chortled as he tried to remain as calm as a guy who had, who he thought to be one of his worse enemies just declare his love for him.

"I'm not sure how long I felt this way, but just recently I finally came to grips with it," Jonouchi replied before his eyes suddenly drifted to the floor. "I kept telling myself I was crazy. I mean I've hated you for so long Kaiba! Sure I haven't liked a lot of people in my life but you, you I actually hated."

'Some declaration of love,'Seto mentally snorted.

"Heh. But then somethin funny happened. The more I kept thinking about how much I hated you, the more I kept thinking about, well, you. First I thought about what a great big jerk you were. Then I thought about how I would love to smash your face in. Then I thought about how the world would be a better place without you, and then…"

Seto felt his irritation rise, as he had no idea where the puppy was going with this. At this point, Jonouchi's love proclamation was beginning to sound like a declaration of war.

"Then I thought about what a good brother you could be, and how you reminded me a lot of myself, plus you also have your moments, like tonight, and maybe you aren't such a bad guy underneath all the insults and arrogance."

Jonouchi paused for moment as he interrupted his own confession with an idle laugh. "Then the craziest thing happened. I started to think about you in ways I shouldn't."

Seto subconsciously took a step back, as he realized somewhere along listening to the blonde's speech, Jonouchi had started to close in the distance between the two of them.

"Then, I just couldn't stop thinking about you, period. You were always on my mind, and then finally, I figured out what was wrong with me. I did the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. I let myself fall for you."

"Now wait just a-" Seto protested as he realized Jonouchi was only a few millimeters from his face. However, before he had time to retaliate, Jonouchi grabbed the back of Seto's head and captured the stunned brunette's lips.

Seto's eyes were now impossibly wide as for a moment he couldn't do anything but stand in a complete state of shock. It wasn't until Jonouchi ministrations soothed his nerves, that Seto felt his eyelids grow heavy and a heat seeped from his lips and slowly traveled throughout the rest of his body. However, just before Seto's eyes were about to close, the brunette's wit returned at lightning speed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Seto thundered as he pushed Jonouchi so hard off of him the blonde lost his balance and had to catch the edge of Seto's desk. "GET OFF OF ME!"

Jonouchi merely smirked back at Seto and wiped the bit of blood from the spot Seto had hit him. This only caused the young CEO's anger to rise as he pointed an accusing finger at the boy and snarled. "Just because you're gay and say that you love me doesn't mean that I feel the same way too!"

"I know…" Jonouchi mumbled before he lowered his head back towards the ground. "I know that you hate me Kaiba."

Seto took another step back as the fire blazing in Jonouchi's eyes caught him off guard. "But I don't care if you hate me. I still love you."

"You're crazy," Seto stammered, cursing himself for letting his voice falter.

"Yes Kaiba," Jonouchi smirked as he literally lunged at the dazed Seto and wrapped his arms around the taller boy's neck. "But I bet you wouldn't believe how crazy I can be."

Seto was shocked for a second time that night as Jonouchi recaptured his lips. However, Seto still hadn't recovered from their first kiss as the heat he felt before moved throughout him at twice the speed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME! This is Katsuya for hell's sake! Don't let him get away with this!"

Seto's mind was literally screaming at him, however the young teen was finding a hard time arguing with Jonouchi's expert lips and even more mischievous tongue. Then again, Seto had spent many years training his body and mind, and soon found enough resolve, from some unknown region, to grab Jonouchi's shoulders in an attempt to push him away. However, it was much too late by then.

"AH!" Seto shouted, before he tore his lips away from the blonde. At some point, while the brunette was struggling against himself, Jonouchi had stolen his way into the unsuspecting teen's pants. Now the tiny bit of resolve Seto had been so desperately reaching for was completely gone.

"Damn it…mutt…" Seto silently cursed as he could no longer control himself and his eyes fell shut.

"You know," Jonouchi whispered as he brushed his lips against Seto's bottom earlobe. "I can give you so much more pleasure than any girl ever can."

"You…" Seto panted out as he felt his body slump and then lean in towards Jonouchi's hand. He then attempted to say something insulting in a sad attempt to discourage the blonde, but the only thing he managed to do was moan. How could he think of anything to say while the blasted puppy was making lazy circles with his thumb along the tip of Seto's length?

"I know all the right places," Jonouchi whispered lowly as he lightly nipped the shaky Seto on the neck. "All the best spots."

"I..hff…"

"Because ever time I practice alone," Jonouchi murmured in a deep sultry voice.

"I think about you."

"Gods Katsuya…" Seto groaned as he suddenly became more turned on by Jonouchi's dirty words then by the puppy's torturous hand.

"You…mmm…do realize…ahh…you…hff-hff…mean nothing to me…" Seto gasped out painfully. This was his last attempt to stop Jonouchi although the bigger part of him was praying Jonouchi didn't hear him.

"I know," Jonouchi sighed sadly as the malicious look on his face was replaced with complete sobriety. He then grew silent for a moment before he leaned his forehead against Seto's causing Seto to squint open a foggy blue orb and stare at the smiling Jonouchi. "But I don't care. I still want you to…"

Seto was now almost to the point where he could take no more as he decided it would be best to focus as much attention as he possibly could on Jonouchi's words. That was a mistake.

"Take me, Seto Kaiba."

A load roar erupted into the air as Seto's eyes shot open. Seto then immediately re-closed them in an attempt to shield his unfocused retinas from the blazing sunlight coming through his window. After a few moments passed, Seto brushed his hand through his sweaty hair, and waited for his heartbeat to slow back down.

"What the hell was that?" Seto mumbled absently. He then pulled at the front of his shirt and shuddered as he realized his entire body was covered in sweat and there was a sharp pain in his lower body.

"Everybody loves somebody sometime

Everybody falls in love somehow

Something in your kiss just told me

That sometime is now"

Seto frowned at his alarm clock before he pounded the off button and muttered something about hating a certain song. He then leaned back in his bed and brought a hand to his lips. "It was all just a dream? But it felt so real…" It was then that Seto snapped up and shouted. "What is wrong with me? I can't believe I had a wet dream about Katsuya!" However, before Seto could fume any more, the realization that his body hadn't quite recovered from the moment hit him, or better said hit his lower regions. "Ra damn that mutt," Seto cursed as he made his way to the bathroom and turned the shower water on icy cold. "He tortures me even in my sleep!"

:Next Scene:

'I don't understand it. Why did I have such a dream about Jonouchi? Was it because what happened last night? Still…'

Seto stared at his desk silently while letting his thoughts completely consume him. He then closed his eyes and let out a tired breath.

'Am I losing it? Is this never-ending cycle finally getting to me? That has got to be it. I'm going crazy! I'm losing it because this damn day keeps repeating itself! I need…I need something to take my mind off this. I need something to preoccupy me, otherwise I might snap. Besides, I have no idea how much longer this will continue. What's worse, maybe this nightmare will never end!'

"Umm, Kaiba-sama…"

"What do you want?" Seto snarled. He then blinked as he immediately recognized the person who interrupted him.

"Well, th-this is for you," the girl stammered as she shoved a Valentine's gift in Seto's face and bowed her head down low.

"No tha-" Seto suddenly caught himself. It was at that point that he remembered what Bakura had said to him before.

/"That's too bad…and I was almost certain that girl was easy enough to let you have your way with her."/

"Hmm," Seto hummed.

'Maybe I had that dream because I'm mentally and 'physically' frustrated. So if I could get this girl to…damn it! What am I thinking! I couldn't do that. Plus that would be too easy anyways!'

"Let me be straight with you," Seto replied as he gave the girl an arid look. "I'm not interested. So I'd rather not lead you on by accepting this. Now take your candy and go back to class."

"B-but-"

The girl gave Seto a helpless glance, as Seto merely closed his eyes and raised his head away from her pretentiously. The girl's eyes then glossed over as she finally gave up and turned away.

"Even when he's being cold he's still so cool," the lovesick girl mumbled as she walked away.

"Well for a moment there I thought you were going to surprise me by taking that girl for everything she's worth!" Bakura laughed.

"Don't you ever mind your own business?" Seto muttered without even bothering to look in the spirit's direction. By now, he had memorized the tomb robber's smug face.

"Whatever do you mean?" Bakura questioned. He then feigned a look of complete innocence and smiled. "Now that I think about it, this is the first time I ever spoke a single word to you Kaiba. Wouldn't you agree, or maybe we have spoken on similar terms before?"

Upon hearing this, Seto turned to face the spirit and eyed him suspiciously. Bakura merely winked at the teen before the teacher entered the room and attempted to ward off all the Otogi fan club members.

:Next Scene:

'I can't, no I won't lose to this! But if I don't find something to keep my mind preoccupied, then I'm not sure how much more I will be able to take of this, but what to do? There's no point in doing any work. If the day keeps repeating itself, it will almost be like I never did anything. What I need is some kind of challenge. What I need is-'

"What's wrong with you moneybags. You almost look like a vegetable sitting there with your mouth all open," Jonouchi laughed as he interrupted the blank looking brunette standing in front of his locker.

"Well if it isn't the puppy himself," Seto replied as he gave Jonouchi one of his winning smirks of conceit.

"What did you say?" Jonouchi growled while balling his fist up in the process.

"Hmm…" Seto hummed. He then opened his mouth to say something insulting before he was hit with a small remnant of his earlier dream.

/"Take me, Seto Kaiba."/

"Urk-" Seto gasped. His face then turned pink with embarrassment, as he could hardly believe how his body was betraying him.

"Hey, umm Kaiba…" Jonouchi whispered. Lucky for Seto, Jonouchi had lowered his head just in time to miss Seto's sudden crisis.

"Out of the way!" Seto shouted as he pushed Jonouchi roughly to the side and dashed off.

:Next Scene:

"I can't believe this! I thought I was so over that blasted nightmare!" Seto exclaimed. He then ran his fingers under the spewing faucet water making sure it was just the right temperature to calm his hormones.

"This has never happened to me before!" Seto hissed as he splashed the icy water on his face. He then took in a deep breath and exhaled harshly. After several moments passed, Seto felt his resolve slowly return before he slumped over the sink and stared at his own reflection.

"What's happening to me?"

:Next Scene:

Seto stared out the hall window and looked down towards the courtyard. Students were piling out the building, all to happy that another horrid day of school was over. However, Seto didn't have the benefit of such a luxury. Not when he knew that the next day he came to school would be just the same as this one, and so would the next one, and the one after that. For Seto, his future was already determined and the thought of that only angered the teen further.

'How much longer will this go on? Why is everything and everyone so intent on deciding my fate for me?'

Seto's eyes began to gloss over as depression slowly crept upon him. He then leaned against the window before his eyes suddenly caught the sight of a familiar figure. It was then that Seto felt a shiver of arousal run through him causing him to choke.

"Shit!" Seto cursed. "How can this be happening to me?"

/"You know, I can give you so much more pleasure then any girl ever could."/

The distant words of Jonouchi's voice echoed within Seto's mind causing him to clutch the edge of windowsill tightly and close his eyes. He then leaned a forehead against the icy windowpane, and struggled to calm himself. It was then that Seto's eyes shot open and he shouted out loud. "I think I figured it out!"

A dubious smile played it's way on Seto's lips as he backed away from the window and chuckled. "I know the perfect solution to ending two of my problems."

'I needed something to keep my mind preoccupied, and I need to get the puppy out of my head! What better challenge for me to take on?

I'm going to seduce and take that damn mutt, and when I'm through with him I won't have to worry about these stupid feelings. Yes! This is perfect. It will be challenging, just like I need, and not only will I finally be able to calm these damn hormones, I'll also be able to humiliate that puppy and put him in his place which is out of my head!'

It had been a long time since Seto ever felt so excited about anything. Even setting aside the fact that Seto was stuck in some perpetual time lapse, for a long time, the young CEO had been bored with his life. School, Kaibacorp, even duel monsters was no longer challenging to him. However, to make one of his worse enemies kneel at his feet was something Seto always enjoyed doing. Sure he had defeated Jonouchi several times, but he still never managed to break the puppy's spirit. No, the damn mutt always kept chasing after him with more and more tenacity then before.Now Seto planned to break Jonouchi once and for all and the thought of that sent a different kind of shiver down his spine.

"Then it's decided," Seto smirked. It was then that a familiar figure caught his eye.

"ARGH!" Ryou shouted as he felt the laws of gravity come crashing down on him. However, before he hit the ground, he was suddenly caught in an unexpected state of suspension.

"K-Kaiba-sama?" Ryou stammered. Upon tripping over his own feet, Seto had caught the pale-haired teen. "You…uhhh…thank you?"

"Whatever," Seto snorted as he released his grip on the smaller teen. He didn't want to admit it, but he was actually starting to feel sorry or better put getting tired of watching Ryou trip.

However, as Seto was making his exit Ryou called out to him. "THANKS AND HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY SETO-SA-."

:SLAM:

"You have caught to be kidding me," Seto groaned.

"OH MY GOSH, RYOU!" a girl shouted as she stared at the boy who had collapsed to the ground. Upon waving Seto off, Ryou had made it just in time to walk into the nearest girl's locker while it was being opened.

"Oh well. Can't say I didn't try," Seto shrugged as he walked away without a second thought.

DAY ONE: Bundle of Joy

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself," Jonouchi chimed as a familiar blue-eyed CEO made his way into the restaurant. However, his smile soon disappeared as Jonouchi looked at Seto and blinked. "Whoa…who are all the flowers for?"

Seto merely smiled at Jonouchi, causing the blonde to sweat and step back. Jonouchi had never seen Seto smile like this before and the sight of it was a bit unsettling. It wasn't like it was one of Seto's signature smiles of conceit. Then again, it wasn't exactly what the teen would call 'pleasant' either. It was just down right disturbing.

"These? Why these are for you. Happy Valentine's Day," Seto smiled as he attempted to force back an eye twitch.

Silence filled the air as everyone in the restaurant looked at the two boys in complete shock. A bit of sweat fell from Seto's brow, as he wasn't sure how much longer he could take of this. For one thing, he was almost certain his smile was cracking, and also the sudden realization of this being his first time ever wishing anyone a Happy Valentine's Day or really any happy day period, crept into the brunette's mind. However, despite this, Seto held his ground as he waited for the stupefied Jonouchi to react.

After what felt like an eternity to the teen, Jonouchi lowered his head and whispered. "You…"

He then took the bouquet of two-dozen roses away from Seto causing Seto's smirk to deepen. That's right puppy. Take the bait…'

However, Seto's smile began to falter as he noticed Jonouchi was trembling uncontrollably. Seto attempted to read the smaller teen's features, but Jonouchi's long sandy bangs were expertly hiding his eyes.

"You…SON OF A BITCH!" Jonouchi wailed.

'What?'

Before Seto knew it, the bundle of flowers was flung in his face, and a pair of angry brown eyes flared up at him.

"IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF A JOKE?" Jounouchi thundered.

"Wha-"

"You're even more sick and twisted then I thought! Just because you're having a miserable Valentine's Day you think you can pull a stunt like this on me and get away with it? Well I'm wise to your games Asshole-Kaiba! I ain't fallen for your tricks. I know you just did this to humiliate me in front of everyone. So you can just take those flowers and shove them up that huge ass of yours!"

Seto was now left standing in the middle of the restaurant in a complete state of shock as he watched the angry Jonouchi stomp away. He then brushed away several petals out his hair and silently cursed.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Well, normally people can appreciate a good bouquet of flowers, but I suppose Katsuya is just a lil shy." Seto glared at the snickering waitress before he made a mental note to himself.

'Presents…no presents.'

DAY TWO: Say My Name

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Well if you must ask puppy-"

"THAT'S IT!" Jonouchi shouted as he suddenly cut Seto off. "I am so sick and tired of you calling me a dog!"

"Well I'm sorry if I just happen to call things the way they are," Seto snorted. His eyes then widened as he realized he had gotten a little too caught up in the moment, but by then it was already too late to take it back.

:WHAP:

"Up yours jerk!" Jonouchi barked before he stomped out the diner.

Seto merely held the side of his bruised face and muttered to himself.

'Name-calling. No name-calling.'

DAY THREE: May I Have This Seat

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out. He then gave Jonouchi a half smile, deciding it best to keep his response to a minimum. At this point, he wasn't sure what would set off the over temperamental teen.

Not quite expecting that response, Jonouchi eyed Seto suspiciously before he shrugged and turned back in his seat. There was obviously no point in saying anything further.

"So," Seto replied as he pulled out the stool closest to the blonde. "Is this seat taken?"

"It sure the hell is," Jonouchi snorted.

"What? There isn't anybody sitting here and you know it!" Seto exclaimed.

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"Well what do you think?"

"WHY YOU-"

"JONOUCHI!" the nearest waitress shouted as she overheard the two arguing boys. "Stop harassing my customers!"

Jonouchi opened his mouth to protest, but before he could say anything, the woman shot him a look so cold the only thing he ended up doing was shuddering. He then redirected his glare at Seto, slammed a wad of money on the counter, and stomped away.

"Man I ain't got to take this!"

DAY FOUR May I Have This Seat part two

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out.

Jonouchi eyed the brunette for a brief moment before he shrugged and returned to his food.

"Can I sit here?" Seto asked.

"Sure," Jonouchi replied without even turning an eye.

Seto sat down and stared at the counter for a moment. Finally deciding what he wanted to say, Seto let out a sigh and turned back towards Jonouchi.

"Hey…"

"Check please!" Jonouchi shouted causing Seto to sweat.

'Nevermind.'

DAY FIVE May I Have This Seat part three

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out. "Mind if I sit here."

"As if my opinion mattered to you," Jonouchi half laughed.

"It does."

"…" For a moment Jonouchi just stared at Seto with wide eyes. After a few seconds passed, his eyes softened up and he smiled. "Yeah, sure…you can sit there."

'Now we're making some progress.'

Seto's smirk deepened, however before he could sit down a large burly truck driver cut him off.

"Hey, I was going to sit there!" Seto protested.

"'Was' being the key word here," the man sneered.

"Why you-"

"Check please!" Jonouchi shouted interrupting the angry teen. Seto looked back at the blonde helplessly and watched as he put some money down on the counter and left.

"What?" the man who had stolen Seto's seat barked. Seto had been so busy watching Jonouchi, he didn't even realize he was still hovering over the man.

"Forget it," Seto muttered crossly.

DAY SIX May I Have This Seat part four

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered. "Mind if I sit here."

"As if my opinion mattered to you."

"It does."

"…Yeah, sure…you can sit there," Jonouchi replied after a moment of thought. However, before Seto could take the seat, the same truck driver cut him off.

"Fine," Seto growled as he tried to remain calm. "I'll just sit somewhere else."

"I wouldn't sit there if I were you," Jonouchi warned, but at this point, Seto was already completely pissed off.

"And why the hell not!" Seto barked. "I can sit wherever I-"

However, before he could finish his sentence Seto's chair collapsed sending him crashing to the floor.

"Because that stool is broken," Jonouchi replied with a grin.

DAY SEVEN May I Have This Seat part five

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out. "I'm sitting here. You mind?"

"Hey. it's a free planet."

"That it is," Seto smirked. However before he could take a seat the same man thwarted him again.

"Hey, I was going to sit there!"

"'Was' being the key word here."

"Either you get out my seat, or I make you," Seto gritted lowly.

The man looked Seto up and down, and then let out a laugh. "That's funny. I don't see your name here."

"Well, how about now?" Seto shouted as he swung his brief case and smacked the man in the face. The man instantly fell out the seat, as the KC emblem was the last thing he saw before he passed out.

"Well, anyways…" Seto muttered as he dusted off his suit. He then turned towards Jonouchi only to notice he was already gone. "Puppy?"

DAY EIGHT: Put It On My Tab

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out. He then sat at the nearest stool without even saying another word to the boy.

"So blue eyes. What can I get you?" the woman, who Seto presumed was named Jordan and owned the restaurant, asked.

"Give me whatever he's having."

"Okay, one Dr. Suess Special comin right-"

"No," Seto interrupted. "I'm not eating anything myself. I just want to pay for his meal."

Jordan blinked at Seto incredulously as her mind slowly processed what he was getting at. She then shook her head apologetically. "Well sorry but that's really not necessary. Jou-Jou gets all his meals for free."

"Really? Then why does he always ask to see the check before he leaves?" Seto questioned.

"Well he still has to sign his ticket."

"But he always leaves money behind too!"

"Yeah, well he's too sweet a boy if you ask me," Jordan chuckled. "Leavin' a tip for the other coworkers. Can't say I've ever seen anyone do that before."

After she was done talking, the woman smiled over at Jonouchi reflectively. Her smile then faded before she grabbed Seto roughly by the front of the shirt and snarled. "How do you know all that stuff anyways? Are you stalking my little Jou-Jou, because if you are-"

"What! No I'm not…well now that I think about it…"

However, before Seto could finish talking he was outside on the streets quicker then he'd come in.

"And don't think I haven't called the police you pervert!" Jordan shouted as she slammed the door behind her.

'Tch, Americans…'

DAY NINE: Part-Time Job

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out. He then sat at the nearest stool without even saying another word to the boy.

"So blue eyes. What can I get you?" Jordan asked.

"Just give me whatever," Seto muttered.

"Then how about what Jou-Jou's having?" Seto merely shrugged, which was all the compliancy the woman needed.

"Hmm, so I see you work here."

"Yep," Jonouchi nodded.

"How long?"

"Mmm, well I guess a few months or so."

"Hmm," Seto murmured to himself.

"Why do you ask?" Jonouchi questioned, however before Seto could respond Jonouchi snapped out his seat and pointed at the confused brunette. "Ohh, wait I see. Suddenly it all makes sense, the reason why you're actually talking to me. You're going to rat me out to the school board, aren't you?"

"Wait what are you-"

"You just won't be happy unless you make my life miserable, huh Kaiba?" Jonouchi exclaimed as he interrupted Seto. "Well sorry I didn't get everything handed to me rich, boy! Sorry I wasn't handed my own multi-million dollar company!"

"Mutt," Seto growled as he felt his patience leave him.

"Well I have you know this job means a lot to me! So go ahead and tell on me! I don't give a damn!" Jonouchi continued to shout, as he didn't even seem to hear Seto's protest. "GAWDS! You make me so pissed Kaiba, I can't even think straight. Man I'm out of here!"

The internal vein in Seto's head popped as he watched Jonouchi stomp away. Why was it every time he said something to the blonde the boy got set off? Normal people didn't act this way. However, after Seto calmed down, a sudden realization hit him.

'…Has the way I've treated Jonouchi all this time really turned his feelings towards me to such a point I can't even have a decent conversation with him? This is going to be harder then I thought.'

DAY TEN: Green Eggs and Spam

"Well-well, if it isn't Mr. High and Mighty himself. To what do we lowly peasants owe the pleasure?" Jonouchi smirked as he bowed from the stool he was sitting at.

"Heh," Seto simpered out.

"So blue eyes. What can I get you?" Jordan asked.

"Just give me whatever," Seto muttered.

"Then how about what Jou-Jou's having?" Seto merely shrugged, which was all the compliancy the woman needed.

"Hmm, so I see you work here."

"Yep," Jonouchi nodded.

"How long?"

"Mmm, well I guess a few months or so."

"Hmm," Seto murmured to himself.

"Why do you ask?" Jonouchi questioned, however before Seto could respond Jonouchi snapped out his seat and pointed an accusing finger. "Ohh, wait I see. Suddenly it all makes sense, the reason why you're actually talking to me. You're going to rat me out to the school board, aren't you?"

"Oh please, like I really have enough time on my hands to sit and ponder what would be the best way to make your life miserable!" Seto huffed ignoring the fact that was exactly what he was doing. "I just asked you a simple question. It's not like you breaking the school rules really matters to me. Gawds, if you haven't noticed I got an 'after school job' too."

"Oh," Jonouchi chuckled before a bit of sweat fell from his brow and he sat back down.

"Okay!" Jordan chimed as she interrupted the two boys conversation. "One Dr. Seuss special!"

Seto stared at the plate and frowned, before he raised his head back up and looked at the smiling woman.

"Well aren't cha gonna eat it?"

"No," Seto answered flatly.

"What? Then why did you order it?"

"To get you off my back," Seto replied calmly, despite the woman's obvious rage. He then sneered as he pushed the plate towards the woman and eyed her pompously. "You didn't seriously think I was going to eat this garbage, did you? I would have to be starving before I even considered and probably still not eat this slop."

"Seto, you sure are walkin' on thin ice," Jonouchi replied as he let out a warning whistle. However, before Seto could ask what he meant, the plate was suddenly smashed into his face.

"I don't deal with people disrespectin' my lil Miyaka's cookin! You hear me blue eyes? Now march your happy ass out my diner before I remove you by force!"

DAY Eleven Green Eggs and Spam part two

"Okay!" the woman chimed as she set the plate in front of Seto.

Seto stared at the food and frowned, before he raised his head back up and looked at the smiling woman.

"Well aren't cha gonna eat it?"

"Sure," Seto mumbled through a slightly pale face. He then slowly took a bit of what he believed to be eggs and brought it to his mouth. After pausing for a moment, he noticed both Jordan and Jonouchi were eyeing him intently as he closed his eyes and took a bite.

"So? What do you think?" Jordan questioned brightly.

"…"

"Kaiba?"

"I think…that this stuff is actually more then half decent," Seto replied in an obviously surprised voice.

"Well that's because our cook Miyaka is the best!" Jordan laughed proudly. She then winked at Seto and walked off to help another customer.

"Wow, I got to say that I'm surprised," Jonouchi exclaimed. "I mean I really didn't think you were gonna eat that stuff."

"Well, I hate to admit it, but this stuff is actually okay."

"Hmm," Jonouchi hummed before he blinked at Seto's plate wildly.

"What?"

"Well, I know it's called the Dr. Seuss special, but quite frankly none of the food is actually suppose to be green," Jonouchi answered as he examined Seto's plate of green eggs and what probably wasn't ham.

Seto's eye twitched before a strange gagging noise sounded from him and he made a mad dash for the bathroom.

"What's wrong with him?" Jordan questioned as she made it just in time to watch Seto run off.

"Him?" Jonouchi echoed before a devious smile played it's way on his lips. He then took a bite of Seto's food and laughed. "He just can't take a joke."

DAY TWELVE: Nice Guys Finish Last

"Well, here's your coffee blue eyes. You sure I can't get you anything to eat?"

Seto merely nodded as he took the cup.

"Man, that sure is too bad, what with you havin all those food allergies. No wonder you look so skinny," Jordan sighed somberly. She then walked off while muttering something about feeling sorry for the brunette. Jonouchi merely gave Seto a sly look as he realized the teen was lying straight out his ass.

"So what do you need an after school job for anyways?" Seto, questioned although he already knew good and well why.

"Oh…well it's a bit complicated," Jonouchi mumbled as his voice trailed off.

"Try me."

"Well…I had to get me some wheels."

"What for? The bus is so much more practical for someone like you."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Jonouchi barked back.

"Waitress, I need some more cream?" Seto replied as he decided the best way to avoid the question was by ignoring it.

"Well if you must know," Jonouchi hissed as he started to calm down a little. "My lil sis Shizuka lives so far away, I hardly ever get to see her. So I thought if I could get me a car, I could visit her more often, but…"

However, Jonouchi's voice soon dropped below a whisper as the blonde focused his eyes on his plate. "My mom wouldn't let me. She kept saying that I was just gonna be a bad influence on Shizuka, and if I really cared about her I would just leave her alone."

Seto eyed Jonouchi warily not realizing he was getting caught up in the boy's somber expression again. Very rarely Seto got to see this side of the boy and for some reason it captivated him to see the blonde not spouting off like a fool.

"And you know…maybe she's right," Jonouchi half choked out as he struggled against oncoming tears. "I mean I'm just another thug, and Shizuka's got all these opportunities, I would never…"

"Oh please. The longer I sit and listen to you the more disappointed I get!" Seto droned out. Although this was his second time hearing this speech, it angered him to hear it just as much as it did the first time. "I mean I never knew you thought so little of yourself. What with the way you prance around with your ass in front of your face. Where's your self-esteem?

"Hell puppy, I do plenty of things I don't want Mokuba doing, but that doesn't make me any less of a good brother. I do everything a good brother should do. I protect and take care of Mokuba, and most importantly I love him more then anything! So as long as I do that there's no way I could be a bad influence on him! So don't sit here cryin about how you're a bad big brother cause you're making me look bad too!"

"Kaiba…" Jonouchi trailed, before he sniffed away a looming tear. "You are such a jerk."

"So I hear," Seto snorted as he took a sip of his coffee.

Jonouchi merely smiled to himself before he finally turned back towards Seto. "If I wasn't kidding myself, I would almost believe that you weren't such a bad guy."

Seto only nodded out a response.

"So whatcha being so nice to me?"

"Well, why can't I be nice to you every once in awhile?"

Jonouchi only stared at Seto before he snapped up out his seat and pointed a finger at the brunette. Seto internally groaned as he already had a feeling of where this was going. "Wait a minute! You want something from me, don't you? I mean, why else are you being so nice to me/ I bet this has something to do with Yuugi, right? Well, you leave my best friend alone you creep! Always obssessin' over getting back at him for doin nothing but teaching your sorry ass what it means to lose. Well forget it! I'm not fallin for it! Get a new hobby you damn jerk!"

Seto didn't even bat an eye this time as he listened to Jonouchi stomp out the diner. He then took another sip of his coffee and shrugged. "Well, this coffee is actually pretty good."

DAY THIRTEEN: Nice Guys Finish Last part two

"If I wasn't kidding myself, I would almost believe that I can actually have a decent conversation with you." Jonouchi half laughed. "So whatcha being so nice to me for?"

"Because for once you're not barking off like an idiot."

DAY FOURTEEN: Nice Guys Finish Last part three

"So whatcha being so nice to me for?"

"Because I'm trying to seduce you, and get into your pants."

DAY FIFTEEN: Nice Guys Finish Last part four

"So whatcha being so nice to me for?"

"Nice! How on earth would anyone one be able to be nice to a stubborn, half ass, over tempered, antsy little mutt like you!" Seto thundered as he slammed his coffee cup down.

Jonouchi blinked back at the boy wildly obviously not sure what had set him off. He then felt a bit of sweat fall from his brow as he watched Seto stomp out the diner while shouting something about some things being too impossible to conquer.

DAY SIXTEEN: Need a Lift

"So whatcha being so nice to me for?"

"Nice," Seto snorted. "Just because I'm talking to you dose not mean I'm being nice."

"Heh. Figures I was givin' you too much credit," Jonouchi half laughed. He then grew silent for a moment before he smiled to himself. "So then let me ask you another question. What are you doin here anyways? I know it ain't because the fine dining."

Seto let out a dry laugh before he set his coffee cup down and finally looked at Jonouchi. "Well you got that right. I sure wouldn't be here by choice. Then again, what can I do when my limo breaks down in front of your run down little diner?"

"Somehow I knew that was the reason," Jonouchi laughed. "Well I suppose you'll just be waitin' here for awhile for ride, what with traffic being so bad at this hour."

"Yeah…"

"Not unless…" Jonouchi started before his voice trailed off.

Seto looked up at Jonouchi expectantly before he realized the boy's cheeks were a light shade of pink. "Not unless you want a ride home from me."

"I guess I wouldn't die if I did," Seto replied.

"Well then, I'm leavin' now, so you can either sit here and keep nursing that empty cup, or you can pay your bill and get goin," Jonouchi exclaimed as he slapped Seto on the back and walked off.

Seto only internally smirked although his stoic expression didn't show it. He then set his money on the counter and followed behind him.

'Ahh, finally some progress.'

To be continued…

Sorry for pullin your legs in the last chapter, but did you honestly really think I would end it all so soon. Heck no! I'm having way too much fun torturing you-er I mean writing this fic! I mean there was no way I would end the story without the Sure Thing/Groundhogs Day signature scene of repeats! I mean who would write a fic about a time paradox, without doing something like this!

Oh and yes I appreciate and enjoy everyone's suggestions and theories on why and how this is happening, but I've already decided on a logical (well maybe not so logical) explanation as to what is going on even before I started writing this fic. Some of you have been REALLY close, but no one has quite hit the nail with the hammer yet. I guess you guys can keep guessing, but I'm not going to tell you if you're right. You'll just have to keep reading to find out.

:Grins Evilly:

Oh I do enjoy being me! HOHOHOHOHOHO!

Yep, so now that I got my favorite part out of the way, I am now faced with the impossible and tiresome task of cleaning up my mess. I mean besides my explanation as to what and why this is all going on, I really didn't put a lot of thought as to how I'm actually going to hook these two bozos up! Oh well, I'm sure I'll think of something (hopefully). Yeah, I'm really bad about this. Honestly this is the part I always get stumped at when writing my fics, but in the end I always persevere! Right now the wheels in my psychotic brain are turning, so with that last note, I'm off to start the next chapter!

Thanks again for the great reviews and incite, and as usual I would so enjoy seeing you're appreciation through many lovely reviews! Ja ne!

Attention all raving Yugioh fans bordering on a possibly clinical obsession:

Currently I'm in the process of making a Yugioh doujinshi website. That's another thing that has been consuming my time recently. MAAAN it takes so LOOOOOOooooOOOng to scan those things! One manga on average takes 2 hours to scan and then convert over to my site, and that's just on average! My longest doujin is over 80 pages long so that's going to take me forever to scan (I'm purposely putting that one off).

Anyways, besides just havin doujinshi's I have some other fun stuff on my site. Such as quizzes, comedy section, quotes, and so forth, however there's this one section I wanted to do but have been stuck on.

Let me put it this way. Have any of you ever heard a song on the radio and thought to yourself, "Hey that song reminds me of my favorite Yugioh character"? Well have you? Anybody…somebody…I'm not the only who does that…am I? Well for those of you out there who say "HELL YEAH! I have taken my fandom to that extreme of a level and I'm damn proud!" then I'm talking to you.

I'm looking for theme songs for all the Yugioh characters. So far I have a few, but it doesn't matter if more then one character has more than one song. There are so many songs out there that remind me of my favorite anime characters! So if any of you have ideas, when you review could you please share them with me?

Of course I will give you full credit, and when I get around to finishing my site, I will personally send you a link to it! I also plan on postin the link on my fanfiction account page for anyone else that's interested in seeing it.

So, yeah. Just give me the title of the song and the name of the artist/artists and I'll take care of the rest. I do want to mention that I'm lookin for theme songs for each character individually. I'm not really looking for any relationships songs. Considering that the show doesn't really have any strong proof for love relationships, I don't want to dig for songs. I mean unless there one's that are pretty obvious. Such as Seto and Mokuba and Jou and Shizuka (as siblings), or Jou and Mai (I think that one's pretty obvious), and maybe even Yugi and Anzu/Anzu and Yami (that might even be digging deep). Sure I love all the Yaoi pairings, but I'm going to honestly say I don't think Kazuki Takhashi intended to make any of his characters gay, no matter how hard I would like to argue all the gayness and suggestiveness I've seen on that show!

So anways, I just want to say thanks in advance! I'm really curious as to what other fans think of all the characters! It's time to dig deep and analyze all the characters and find their perfect songs!
