Distant Soul: O.o Gomen minnasan! I was bogged down by lots and lots of stuff and was unable to update for a couple of weeks, so hopefully this chapter will make up for it?
Iruka: She's not kidding either, she had to work a lot last week.
Distant Soul: SuperTarget is SO evil!! I hate cashiering, because the customers are rude to you! Geez!! ::cries::
Gai: Be strong Distant Soul-san! ::hugs:: Do not lose your youthful energies!!
Distant Soul: *perks up* Hai Gai-san! ^//^
Kakashi: Maa, is this story going to liven up soon?
Distant Soul: I know it isn't exactly to your tastes Ka-chan, demo, I need to keep it going right now, we'll get to some yummy scenes later on, just for you! And since I got a pretty decent review for the scene I wrote in Himitsu, I think I can give it a shot in this one...^.^
Kakashi: *curves eye in happiness*
Iruka: *hits Kakashi on the head* Pervert!
Distant Soul: *smiles* arigatou for your inspirations!! ^.^ I'm working on the picture right now, and I'll send it out soon. ^.^ demo, onto the story! Gai-san, if you would!!
Gai: Yosh! Distant Soul-san doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or the characters in this story. Demo, she does own the plot, the song "Distant Silence"...and all the BEWD cards.
Distant Soul: Paid a pretty penny for them too... And I also have a promo Japanese Dark Magician card, the one that the magician guy had... the evil blonde Dark Magician... GWAAHH!! I still can't believe that I didn't buy that booster pack!!!
Iruka: Nani?
Distant Soul: A year ago, I was in a card shop and a Japanese booster pack was calling to me, or literally screaming "BUY ME" but NOOOOOOOO I bought an Elegant Egotist INSTEAD. AND THEN SOME GAKKI BOUGHT THE DAMN PACK AND GUESS WHAT WAS INSIDE?!?!
Kakashi: Nan da?
Distant Soul: A FOIL BLUE-EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!!! ON THE TOP!! OH MY GOD! I ALMOST DIED!! O.O I was SO about to kill that gakki... *starts to bash head against the desk*
Iruka: And what did you learn from this?
Distant Soul: NEVER to doubt my Yu-Gi-Oh! booster pack instinct, I've got CRAZY luck...I got Warrior From Another Planet, and lemme tell ya... it kicks total ass... BUT I WANT THAT BEUD!! O.O
Iruka: Group hug!
*all Jounin hug the distressed author*
Distant Soul: *winks* SO minnasan, while I molest my bishies, onto the story! Sorry, I had to rant... ^.^;;; I'm going to go cry now...

++If You Were Mine++
_Chapter Ten_
Jounochi finds a friend to confide in! Will he ever trust Seto again?
----------------------
----------
Jou's POV
----------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know
what I'm feeling
I don't know
who I am anymore
How can I feel this way?
I only think like this when I'm alone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had just finished the song I had been listening to over and over this morning. Ha, funny how ironic that turned out to be. I never would have thought that something would actually cause me to do exactly what the song was talking about. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever of thought that Seto would cheat on me, make-out with anyone but me. Ahh, but how naive I was to the evils of this world. So naive, so naive that I hadn't seen the way that Seto had looked at him all these years. How could I have missed it? The way he looked at Yami when they dueled, the fire in his eyes everytime they saw each other. Certainly somewhere in the recesses of my mind it could have registered that there could have possibly of been a secret passion, a secret love of some sort between the two. I mean, come on. It's not every day you get all frustrated because you keep losing to a certain person right?
Nah, not in Seto's case.
He never liked to lose, I knew that from the first time I met him, when he had lost that duel against Yuugi. Maybe that's when it all started...
"Then why did he even bother to waste his time with me, when he could have just gone after Yami instead?" I questioned aloud to no one in particular. It's just me and the rain here, no one will answer...no one cares...
A voice interrupted my cold, depressing thoughts like a knife. "Maybe he doesn't feel that way about Yami?"
What the hell...I opened my eyes slowly, focusing on the person that had just answered. "What do you know?" I snapped. "You don't know anything Otogi."
"Hey, give me some credit here!" He held his hands up in self-defense. Thinking better about his position, he lowered his hands and kneeled beside me, a strange emotion in his eyes. "Ano...If you want to talk about it, I'm all ears all right? I swear I won't say a word."
I closed my eyes as I turned my soaked face away from him. I was grateful for the help that he offered me in my time of trouble, but all I really wanted to be was alone. Alone so that I could sort out these thoughts that kept running through my mind a mile a minute. "Thanks for the offer Otogi, but all I want to be is alone right now. I'm too confused to even think straight..."
All that my response was rewarded with was a smack to the head. Not at all what I was expecting you know? I thought that he would agree with me silently and walk away, leaving me to my chaotic thoughts. But NOOOO, he has to hit me. Geez, what good is that supposed to do?
"Bakayaro!" He cursed. "Don't you think that you're a piece of crap now. Never think that." He glared at me, making his emerald eyes into thin slits before continuing. "You're not the only one who's seen the way that Kaiba and Yami act around each other. Sure, to an outsider it might seem kind of odd how they're always fighting and challenging each other..."
A look of triumph must have slipped across my face, because he slapped me again. "BUT, if you aren't dense enough all ready, Kaiba did the same with you. Hell, he taunted and cursed you ten times as much as he did Yami. And if you HAVEN'T NOTICED he chose you to be his boyfriend, not Yami. Now what does that tell your pathetic little mind?"
Tears started to swim their way down my face, or at least I thought that they did. I couldn't really tell because of the rain. How, how could I not have noticed that before? Otogi had made a good point, about choosing me over Yami to be his real-life boyfriend, but then what was that scene that I saw back at the Game Shop? WHY was he kissing him then, especially when he was fully aware that I was in the other room with...
"Then tell me this All Knowing Otogi, why did I see Seto kissing Yami in the Game Shop just twenty minutes ago?" See how he answers that question, smart ass. The next thing I saw was his head drooping, from regret? Was that regret that I saw in his eyes? Why would he have such an emotion reflecting for the entire world to see in his eyes...?
"I...I don't know." Otogi stammered, his voice filled with the emotion that I had seen in his eyes. "But, I can venture a guess though. Could it be, that you had not noticed Honda-kun coming onto you, and the fact that you made no attempts to make him stop, that caused Kaiba to get jealous over it? Could he have been so frustrated with your actions that he was blind to what he was doing? Could Yami have been doing the exact same thing?" Otogi looked slowly up to meet my eyes. "Could both of them not have known what they were going exactly, and immediately afterwards have regretted what they had done? Maybe you only saw some of what happened in that room Jou-kun..."
"But, if that's true, then where is he? Why didn't he come after me..." I looked at him, with my whole world crashing around me. I guess I must have looked pretty pathetic, because the next thing I knew, he was hugging me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All alone
All alone
that's all we really are
no matter who we are
no matter who we are
we're all alone
all alone
in the end
You may say you love me
but you don't
your words are hollow
hollow, like a drum

Seto's POV
-----------
Where did he go? Although my clothes are soaking wet and weighing me down, there is nothing on my mind except for Katsuya. Nothing else, nothing besides him. Where had he gone off to? Where would he go in times of his deepest sorrows? Not home, not school, definitely not my house at this point...
Anywhere.
Knowing him he would most likely be somewhere along the sidewalk that he had been running down, collapsed down on the mud, allowing the rain to run through his blonde hair as his own thoughts betrayed him.
Yes, he had seen me and Yami kiss, but what he didn't see is what happened afterwards. Although no words had been spoken, we had both realized the Sin we had committed and without any words, we had vowed to each other never to do such a thing again. We would both be true and loyal to our significant others, and never cheat or do anything disgraceful ever again.
But first, I had to find Katsuya. I had to find him and apologize for what I had done. I wanted to run my hands through his hair, much like the rain was most likely doing right now. I wanted to touch his, run my hands all over his body to make him feel like he was appreciated. I just wanted to... I wanted to love him. To assure him that I loved him, and that he was the only one in this and any other lifetime that he was the only One for me. The only Lover that I would Ever take. The only One...
I saw two forms in front of me, rather close to each other. I thought about going a different way, but there was something that kept me going forward. Like I was supposed to go to them. Never did I think that I would see the sight that I did.
Otogi was hugging MY Katsuya.
Surely my senses were deceiving me. My eyes just had to be lying to me. There was no way in Hell that Katsuya would do something like this to me after just accusing me of the samething. Well, one thing's for sure, I won't jump to conclusions. I'll let him explain himself first. I cleared my throat, and only when both eyes were on me did I speak.
"What the Hell is going on here?"
