Kaiba skimmed through the lame magazines that were available to the people waiting in the designated waiting room at the hospital. He was the only one in the white, smelly, and uncomfortable room. Jou had got seen right away for his injury and Kaiba was waiting for him to come out. It had been over an hour already, and Kaiba was not the least bit patient. He looked at the posters around the room. He occupied his mind by reading up on information about HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. After he read the information poster about syphilis, Jou came out and waved Kaiba over. He was standing beside the doctor, who was writing notes down on his notepad.

"Well, Mr. Katsuya, everything looks like it will heal up very nicely. You really should contact the authorities and catch the guy who hit you. People these days... I swear!" the doctor said as he gave Jounouchi a pat on the back

"I know Doc; I'll get right on that." Jou said with a grin.

"Alright. Please go to the front desk for your bill and have a wonderful day."

"Thank you." Jou said as he started to walk to the front desk. "It shouldn't be that expensive, just some dressing and disinfecting, ya know?"

"Don't worry about it." Kaiba said as he took out his credit card. Behind the desk was a girl, no more than 25-years-old, with long blonde hair and a shit load of make-up . She stared at Kaiba, her eyes glittering in the light, as she took his credit card.

"I'm here to pay for Jounouchi Katsuya's medical bill." Kaiba said, ignoring the infatuation that the girl clearly had for Kaiba. He gave her his credit card and she took it and looked at the name.

"Oh my gosh! It is you! Seto Kaiba!" she shrieked as Kaiba groaned.

"Yes, now if you would please just-"

"Oh my god I have all your pictures from your articles in my room on my wall! I think you are the most handsome guy I have ever seen! Oh my god would you-"

"The bill! Please, I have no interest in you, nor will I ever. I am a busy man, would you PLEASE just let me pay for the bill!" Kaiba said sternly, earning a whine from the girl behind the desk. She printed out the bill, wrote something on it, and swiped his credit card.

"Sign here, Mr. Kaiba." She said as she handed Kaiba the receipt. He signed it angrily, grabbed his copy and turned around.

"Let's go." He said to Jou, and the two walked out of the doors of the hospital. Kaiba walked briskly to his car and opened the doors to his Mercedes. Jou hopped in.

"Haha, you must get that a lot, huh moneybags?"

"Ya, like you wouldn't believe. It's rather annoying." Kaiba growled as he started up his car. Jou couldn't stop laughing.

"That's fucking hilarious! Oh! And you know what else is hilarious? Did you, by chance, catch what the doctor's name was?"

Kaiba looked at Jou and smiled the faintest hint of a smile.

"I did. Doctor Habib Blowjeb." Kaiba said and his faint smile became more evident.

"I know, right?" Jou said and giggled. "I couldn't keep a straight face while he was checking out my injuries. The name tag kept catching my attention! What a trip!"

Kaiba shook his head and began to drive back in the direction of Jounouchi's place. He lit up a cigarette and handed one to Jou. Jou accepted it and lit it up.

"Thanks for waiting man. Really appreciate it. But you still owe me!"

"How much do you want...?"

"Nah, I don't want your money. But I think you owe me a few beers and a spliff from your shit."

"Mutt, I really don't go to public bars and I rather not have to grace you with my presence more than I have to."

"Oh come on, Kaiba! Today wasn't so bad! And did you see how I covered your ass in there? I said it was a hit and run, and you were paying for my medical bills as a charitable thing."

"How about I just buy you a two-four and give you some weed? I don't see why I should be there with you. I have my own life to run. I'm very busy, something you would never understand."

"Hey! I'm busy too. Well, actually, not really. But that's bullshit! All my friends are always busy and I find myself drinking and smoking by myself lately. I don't see the harm in hanging out for a bit-"

"Listen, mongrel. Just because your friends have their own lives and can't always hang out with you doesn't mean I will or would even want to be your friend. " Kaiba said, practically with venom dripping from his lips. He threw over a piece of paper and a pen that was in his center console into Jou's lap. "Just write your fucking cell phone number on there and I'll drop off some beer and weed and you can go on with your life as this day never fucking happened. I have to go to work as soon as I drop you off; I'm horribly late as it is already."

Jou frowned and scribbled his number on the piece of paper. He threw it back to him and crossed his arms. "I'm not asking you for a fucking friendship Kaiba. I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt to knock back a few beers and smoke a joint or two. I'm sure you don't really have a line up of people to do that with."

"I could, but choose not too mutt."

"Whatever."

Kaiba's phone started to ring. "Thank god." Kaiba thought as he answered it. It was his secretary, Jackie.

"Sorry to call you, , but where the hell is your ass? We have a meeting right now and I'm using all my good material to stall these greasy business men."

"I know Jackie, just keep it up. I'm almost there. I'll tell you what happened after the stupid meeting is over."

"Alright sir! Ah I don't know what else to do to keep them from leaving!"

"Just unbutton a button on your blouse. That should buy us some time."

"Bah! You are such a perv. But will do. Hurry your ass up!"

"I will." Kaiba ended the call and turned to Jou. "How do I get to your-"

"Just dump me off here; I'll walk the rest of the way home. Go to work, you fucking asshole."

"Honestly, let me just drive you-"

"I'm out of here. Thanks for hitting me with a fucking car. Peace." Jou said as he opened the car door. The car was stopped at a red light, so Jou thought it was an ample opportunity to exit the vehicle. He didn't really know why he was so pissed off. Kaiba did everything he was obligated to do. Why did Jou think that Kaiba would be a person whom he could chill with and hang out? The better question was why did Jou WANT to have Kaiba as a 'chilling out' buddy? Maybe his current friend situation was making him go a tad bit crazy and desperate. He needed this walk to clear out his mind and release his frustrations. He reached in his pocket and took out a pain killer. He popped it in his mouth and swallowed it without any water. He looked at the bright blue sky and sighed. At least he could go back home and sleep, it was still early anyways.
