RED DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWNN!!!!!!!

Heh heh. Updated just for you lol, well I did decide to get off my ass, then back on it and actually write up this…and the next!

Wow, 4 months later and I finally get the epilogue posted. What can I say? I'm a lazy sod!

I read my final chappie through boredom, and I actually cried at by own work!!! How sad am I? Or did it bring a tear of happiness to your eyes too? Though I saw plenty of room for improvement, so who knows, I may edit it later on. 'The new improved version'. Lol. For now. I'll get on with my other work :P

This is just a little epilogue and prequel here (and bonus at end of everything) , strange combo huh? This is the ending AND the beginning!

Mahahaha! I'm so clever! (Or so I think)

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! But I do own a pet rock…his name is Stuart…okay I lied about that

Epilogue!

The whole school was filled with the sound of yawns and the sight of students half asleep on their desks, some were unlucky enough to have pen over their face from those who were better at staying awake. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to have the school dance in the middle of the week? Hopefully they wouldn't be expected to actually do any work, seeing as the entire student body seemed to find it difficult to even stay awake.

Jou sat at his desk, 'listening' to Tea natter on about something, waiting for the rest of the gang to get there.

After Yami had gone of with Kaiba, Jou had returned to the 'punch' bowl, which had quickly become his new best friend. As funny as it was to spike the drinks and intoxicate the entire student body, he was beginning to wish he'd just kept the vodka to himself, though he pretty much kept everyone away from the punch bowl. He laughed to himself, then frowned, he just wished he could remember what had happened after that. ((MystikGenie: heh heh I'm evil!))

All the awake students looked up as Yami and Yugi entered the classroom, their hands entwined, instant gossiping started, those who were sleeping comfortably were pulled from their naps.

Yugi blushed, but was steered to his seat by Yami, who gave his hand an affectionate squeeze before separating and going to his own seat. Yugi smiled at Jou, who smiled back, happy that things that had gone alright, that was one less ass he needed to kick "Hey Yami"

Yami turned to see Jou, relieved that he no longer held a murderous look in his eyes, "Congratulations man" he smiled back, then quickly began chatter with other, Tea demanding to know what had happened after she had left the two alone together.

The rest of the class filed in and gossiping about the dance, who had gone with who, who were the new cutest couple, and who had seen who doing what. Jou relaxed back onto his desk, hoping to catch up on a few z's before class started properly.

"Mutt"

"Mutt"

"Oi Moron"

Jou awoke with a start when he felt a sharp pain in his leg, but just shrugged at his attacker "meh? What do you want!"

Seto Kaiba stood before him, with a look of disgust on his face "your in my way, mutt" directing to Jou's feet which were stretched out on Kaiba's desk. He blushed then removed his legs, the blush rose when he hear the whisper of "good boy", he instantly began muttering to himself, something about 'jerk Kaiba's' and 'moneybags'. Everyone chose to ignore him, and was learned to be wise from past experiences.

The teacher came through, and hushed the class "alright kids I know you are all tired, and so am I, so we're going to have an easy morning"

Smiles burst around the classroom "but I wouldn't expect that after lunch" the moans echoed through the classroom, while the teacher just smiled, she was feeling more awake all ready.

Seto Kaiba sat at the tables as he always did, his focus on his laptop; that was until the screen was closed in front of him. He lifted his eyes to who had committed such a vile crime with a scowl on his face "What do you want Yami?" the cold blue eyes stared at the other teen, who smiled lazily and perched himself on the tables edge.

"Just to say thank you, again"

Seto huffed and folded his arms "I neither desire your praise or appreciation"

Regardless of this Yami continued to stare at him "I owe you, however small, and I always pay my debt"

"Forget it you have nothing I want" then again I wouldn't say no to the Egyptian God cards.

"Maybe not but, I know what you do want"

Seto stiffened his eyes narrowed at the red eyed person "I don't want anything! I'm rich, famous and smarter than Einstein! Plus even you have to admit, I'm hot"

Yami let out a snort "well I'm not too certain on the last part, I already have the one I adore. But you are still to have yours" he raised his eyebrows "know what I mean?"

"Like you could do anything" his face fell "besides the mutt hates me"

"Yeah well maybe if you didn't torture him all the time, and stop calling him mutt!"

"Mutt stays"

Yami stared at him

"Puppy then, but that's my final offer!"

Yami sighed at him "take it out with him, you never know, he might actually like it. Yugi calls me-"

Seto held up his hands "I don't want to hear what you two call each other in bed!"

Yami blushed, but it was quickly replaced with an angry look "don't talk about Yugi like that! You have no right! Do you want my help or not!"

"Fine, I'm 'sorry' about that remark, but I don't see why I need your help, whatever help it is"

"Well, who's the closest person to Jou?"

"Yugi?"

"Correct, and who's the closest person to Yugi?"

"Jou?"

"Me you idiot! geesh, for a genius you sure are a dumbass"

Kaiba smiled inside Keep telling yourself that "well whatever you're planning I don't care, I don't want your help, charity, gratitude, whatever! I don't want any of it"

Yami, jumped off the table "Fine you don't want help, you don't get it" Seto sighed finally! But his relief was short lived "but that doesn't mean I won't give you a push in the right direction once or twice"

Yami laughed and lifted up the screen of Kaiba's laptop "as you were"

Kaiba just stared back with stoic eyes

"By the end of the day, you'll see" he smiled and walked back to the gang where Yugi was waiting for him, a curious look in his eyes.

Seto smiled vaguely, Jou was having some sort of wrestling match with Tristan, typical mutt, always needing to prove himself in some way or another. He laughed when he saw that weirdo art girl smack them both over the head. He quickly went back to his laptop, when people around him starting staring at him.

Around him the students started whispering, unsure of what the select few had seen and heard.

"Did Seto Kaiba just laugh?"

I love you all so much, and it's quite interesting how many of you have/are Yami's, lol. Thank you all so much for your encouragements, your treats and inspiration,. And really just for reading this story and enjoying it.

I'm happy to have given you some entertainment and a good dose of Puzzle shipping (and a good side of puppy shipping). And I hope you'll stick around for my next fic, which is sort of the sequel to this, it doesn't have a name yet, and I'm still writing it. But it's carrying on with Jou and Seto, as you can probs tell from this epilogue. Heh heh

:::::::::::::::::::::::::Ilovesemicolons…and pizza!:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Bonus!!! (Little preview from next fic)

Seto sat down on the benches, and pulled out his laptop, immediately starting it up, as was routine. People around him whispering to each other, as routine, a nervous looking blonde called Jou standing before him, not trying to punch him, as routine.

Wait? What?

Sure enough Jou; the blonde he had so much enjoyment over harassing was standing there, nervously pulling on the bottom of his shirt. His eyes were downcast, biting on his bottom lip, he glanced up at Seto, and indicated to the seat in front of him with his finger, sitting down when Seto nodded.

Gossip started with the surrounding students, someone was sat with Seto; that had never happened before, well except once with that new girl, poor thing, she never came back to school after that day.

After a few moments Seto decided to break the silence "can I help you, mutt?"

Jou flinched at the name, but looked up "yeah, there's something I need to talk to you about"

Seto paled, did Yami tell him straight out? That wasn't what he had in mind when he said he'd give him a push.

"What about"

"Something Yami told me, I wanted to see if it was true"

Seto frowned, then searched out Yami, who was stood watching him, and huge smile on his face, his hands held up in 'thumbs up' poses. He made a mental note to kill him later, but was lead back to Jou, who still nervously biting his lip.

"Well is it?"

Seto gulped, and thought: oh shit!

IMAGONNAHAVEREDBEANSFORDINNER

Hehehe, im feeling random.

Enjoy???

I hope so. See you soon (I hope- again) in the sequel…which does not have a name yet, hmmmm. I'll think of one.

Hey I know, give me some ideas. Silly or actual suggestions I don't care. It'd be fun to see what you do.

XD
