A/N: Okay, somehow, I'm not a happy person.

For one thing, we have to read Huck Finn. (The language annoys me in a way…!)

Another thing is that we have to do a project that is due after FOUR days we get back from school…!

This is NOT fun.

I'm typing this side-by-side with Chapter 13 of this story and… yeah. (sighs) This is going to take a while. I need my ideas organized. But, considering the fact I have recently seen The Mummy and The Mummy Returns (no, not that cartoon version… the 1997 and the 2000(?) movies), Big Fish (made me cry at the end), Nanny McPhee (What? please don't ask) and movies made in the 50's or… some sort…

Yeah.

My mind's messed up.

Considering the fact that I have NO IDEA where I'm going…

Does this story make ANY sense to anyone? Because to me, I'm not making ANYTHING out of this…

Relations with last chapter:

I repeat, whatever you do, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR OWN ELECTRONICS WIDE OPEN AT SOMEONE ELSE'S HOME OR WITH SOMEONE ELSE. One of my friends realized another friend of ours left her Dell Player in my friend's home when I went over. And yes, we returned it to her because batteries were dead…

My friends keep on saying that they are getting annoyed at people who say that they're going to call… and they do. Late at night… Speaking of that, one of my friends decided it would be a brilliant idea to call me… at ONE IN THE MORNING when I was sleeping. And my friend called because he was bored. He is one dead person if I see him.

Time to begin this chapter…

And to find a way to kill something fluffy, cute, yet diabolical called plot bunnies that are currently prancing in my head… any suggestions?

Disclaimer: There is no way I'd own the two series. End of story.

Chapter 14: Give me ONE good reason…


It was the beginning of hell, part two.

Then again, being stuck with Jou is hell.

But, then again, weird things were afoot in Domino.

Mai has noticed a few things changing after she and Jou were handcuffed.

One, Seto Kaiba has returned and immediately, Yami and Kaiba have announced war… and

declared "peace" with each other all in a week. That "peace" is not going to last long since those two still hate each other (to the point they actually want to kill each other with guns and swords… and their descendents would have that hate passed on their genes unless some guy and girl play Romeo and Juliet in the future. In other words, a ceasefire is the VERY last thing Yami and Kaiba have in mind. And they STILL hate each other).

Just what were the conditions to their truce, anyway? The two idiots forgot to mention THAT…

Two, their teachers have been acting very, very weird. In a manner that Mai would think they would seek help or think something is wrong with them. She's starting to think not only Shinomori-sensei has something diabolical planned besides the project (which she and Jou spend all Sunday on) and the detention today.

Three, is it just her imagination, or is her older cousin flirting with the Megumi H.? She is getting slightly annoyed at him teasing her all the time, but… then again, there is Ryuji with Anzu (and is Honda… jealous of that?) since Anzu's been avoiding the "Do you have a crush on Ryuji?" thing… and there is Kaiba with Jou's little sister (Mai could just restrain Jou from killing him).

They're the object of the revenge plot, anyway, so… (insert a laughter of evil in here)

Four, Ryou Bakura has been… "is he all right" is the main concern on Anzu and Honda's minds. Mai has no idea why, but she has not seen Ryou Bakura's personality change at all.

Did she?

Oh well. That's not important for now…

Five, besides the handcuffing ploy, the others (mainly, the guys) are plotting something very evil. She doesn't know why, but something tells that they are plotting to do something involving her, Jou, and the very lovely set of handcuffs that were now on them for… about a week.

Something tells that she and Jou better plan up their revenge plot soon.

Speaking of Jou…

Six, and last but not least, Jou is changing.

Not physically, but… as in "he's-starting-to-be-a-little-more-nice" change.

Well, except for a bunch of yelling here and there. But is it just her…

…or is Jou opening up to her more?

Oh.

Wait.

Aren't they supposed to HATE each other in the first place?

Too late for that now, Mai thought, placing her hand against her forehead, closing her eyes. He's definitely changing.

Aside their differences in social groups, Jou is actually… not that bad when it comes to being friends with him.

But he's still the pompous, arrogant asshole that thinks he's superior to me!!! I swear, I'm going to get him for humiliating me just for… for...

Mai sighed, following up with slamming her head against the wall, waiting for the certain blonde to hurry up.

I'm confused. Why am I mad at him again? Wait… why did I hate him in the first place?

-2nd Monday of the 2nd week: Morning-

"You still don't know why you hated my onii-san?" Shizuka blinked at Mai, who nodded as the two girls waited for Jou to hurry up. "I thought you already knew that…"

"I'm not sure what happened," Mai sighed, "I mean… since… they… decided it would be the best idea to handcuff us… I've started to notice he's… well…"

"Acting a little different than normal?" Shizuka finished.

"Well… that. Wait, how did you know?" Mai blinked at Shizuka, who smiled.

"My onii-san's thinking about the same thing. I mean, yesterday when you were talking on the phone, Jou was talking to me about a few things."

"Oh?"

"He was talking about how he felt a little odd since he's been handcuffed to you. Not in a bad way, but in a… good way."

"He better not think about dirty little thoughts," Mai grumbled under her breath.

Shizuka grinned, snickering at her remark, "Oh, you'll see…"

"?" Mai blinked at her, then shrugged it off. "Never mind I asked. Sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Shizuka blinked, "You didn't do anything, Mai."

"I mean, for asking about Jou and all of that…"

"Life has a funny way of playing things," Shizuka giggled, "I should know and I could tell. You guys just started high school, right?"

"We're in the beginning of second semester of sophomore year, Shizuka," Mai said, deadpanned.

"I know!" Shizuka grinned. "And things have been changing, right?"

"Huh?" Mai blinked, then blinked again for good measure. "How did you know what I was thinking about last night?"

"You were?"

"…" she decided not to say anything about it since she thought Shizuka read her mind. But…

"Eh, anyways," Shizuka perked up, grinning, "You do remember that before this semester, you and Jou hated each other like hell, Yami was calmer than right now and-"

"How did you know he's now going calm for one minute and then he's pissed off at the next second?"

"I was there two nights ago while the four certain people were screaming at each other like there was no end…"

"Oh," Mai paused, then groaned in embarrassment. "Anything else, Shizuka?"

"And Yugi told Jou Yami got a headache and took about two aspirins yesterday morning before falling asleep again until Megumi H. and Ryuji came over."

"Oh. So that's why I got that annoying phone call yesterday afternoon. No wonder I heard Yami cursing to Kaiba."

For what…? "… anyway… Honda's had this crush on Anzu for a while, and-"

"Whoa! Wait, he does?"

"He still does."

"Wha…? How come I didn't know about this?"

"I don't know. I guess Anzu still think he's a friend to her…"

"Is she clueless?"

"…I'm not the one to judge."

"… carry on."

"Malik wasn't even involved since he's been busy with a bunch of work, Ryou's been too busy as well, and Ryuji and Megumi H. hardly knew us."

"Was it because they were new students?"

"…" Shizuka arched an eyebrow.

"Oh. Sorry. I had a brain fart for a moment."

"Thinking about?"

"Wha…? Shizuka, whenever one has a brain fart, you don't think about anything for that short time or moment."

"Uh huh. Suuuuure…"

"I was not thinking about THAT!!" Mai glared at her, then looked at the watch, "When is your brother coming?"

"In about a few minutes," Shizuka sighed, "It's still pretty early, Mai…"

"I know," Mai nodded, "It's just there's a good reason that I'm forcing Jou up pretty early." Then she gave an evil grin.

Shizuka blinked, then gulped, trying her best not to ask what evil plot Mai and Jou have in mind.

-Later, after twenty minutes, in Domino High…-

"Okay, remind me how this goes again?" Jou asked Mai as she set her backpack on her seat. "I mean, I remember you telling and all, but…"

"Well, you do know we were going to prank Ryuji because he was the one who thought of handcuffing us, right?"

"Yeah…" he nodded.

"Well," Mai smirked, "I got the perfect prank for him."

Jou paused, "Okay. What is it? …And you do realize we have detention with Kaiba later today…"

"I know," Mai smiled, "Which is why we're giving him a prank him next."

"Huh. I guess this week would be payback for the guys, right?" Jou's confused look turned into an evil grin.

"Yup!" Mai giggled, "And I don't think we're done with my older cousin just yet…"

"Didn't he want to get back at us?" Jou asked, fearing what his best friend would do now that he (Yami) now has anger issues.

"Yeah," Mai nodded, "And it does not include him getting pissed off."

"You think he won't. But don't you think Ryuji and Kaiba would be pissed off at us as well?"

"Yeah. I know," Mai grinned. Then she took out a set of notes from the smaller backpack from her book bag. Jou stared at them, then he remembered about it.

"Oh… THAT plan. You really are evil, aren't you…"

"Yup!" Mai grinned. "C'mon… help for a second here… where are their desks?"

"To place them in?"

"…what does it look like I'm doing?"

"Never mind. Hey, don't you think Shinomori-sensei would find out about this?"

"I already have," a dry voice came from the front desk as their homeroom teacher walked in, scaring the hell out of Mai and Jou.

"Ahh!" the two exclaimed at the same time. Then they realized it was a teacher that was there. Knowing that they have notes. Forged by both Mai and Jou.

"Err… we can explain…" Mai sweatdropped.

Aoshi looked at his students for a moment. Then he sighed, "Well… you two do have detention with me this afternoon. I guess that's enough torture for the two of you. But there is one condition I get from this."

Mai and Jou winced, hoping it's not bad.

Aoshi's lips then turned into a smirk, "As an adult who enjoys your little ploys to getting back at your friends, do you both mind if I help out with your little plans?"

That surprised the heck out of both Jou and Mai as they started gaping at him.

Then Jou smiled.

"Actually… it wouldn't be a bad idea if a teacher helped us…"

Mai looked at him in surprise, then she nodded, "I guess… wait, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Hey, it's better than letting him glare at us whenever we do something dumb, right?"

"True…" Mai nodded, "All right."

Shinomori-sensei smirked, glad he was a part of something he wanted to get back at some certain students.

"Here's the plan we were planning to do…" Mai and Jou started talking to Shinomori-sensei about it.

-Meanwhile…-

Megumi H. and Malik blinked once, faced each other, then looked at Honda, Ryuji, Ryou and Yugi. They were waiting for Anzu, Yami, and Kaiba since the three said they will be running a little late than usual. ("A little late?" Malik said earlier as he looked at his cell phone, "We're about an hour earlier than usual!")

"That's your plan?" Megumi H. asked them. "…and that's what you made up over the weekend?"

"Yup and no way in hell are we changing it," Honda nodded. "We've already modified it to the point where almost everyone's involved."

"…Who?" Malik asked.

Ryou sighed, "It's me, Honda, Anzu, Yugi, Ryuji, Yami, and Kaiba. We're the ones that are doing the plan. I'm surprised you both haven't even asked about it yet."

"Wow…" Megumi H. grumbled as Malik shook his head.

"So?" Yugi frowned, "Is it a good idea?"

The two faced each other. Again. Then they sighed as they faced each other.

"I don't know…" Megumi H. sighed, scratching her head.

"It…. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me," Malik concluded.

The four guys groaned.

"And no, this does not mean we're planning to get involved!" Malik glared at them, "I'm just saying it's a little complicated to act it out. You know, pretending that you have no idea as to what's really going to happen."

"Plus, Mai, Jou, and Kaiba have detention today with Shinomori-sensei," Megumi H. pointed out. "Why don't you guys do it next week or something?"

"Nope," Yugi shook his head, "We're doing it on Friday."

"This Friday!?" both Megumi H. and Malik exclaimed at the same time, a little surprised.

"What in the world are you guys doing before hand!?" she asked, knowing there is another plan before this big one.

"Let's just say…" Ryuji smirked, "We're planning something to start up before Friday."

"…" the two faced each other.

I have a bad feeling about this… both of them thought at the same time.

"And that would be…?" Megumi H. frowned, turned back to face the four.

"Well…" Honda paused, then he remembered. "I'm not the one who's doing THAT."

"Then who is it?" Malik asked, "Any one of you four?"

"Hell no," Yugi frowned, "If it was me, then I would have a lot of time to think it out!"

"Not me," Ryou shook his head.

"Uh uh," Ryuji shook his head, "If it was me, then I would have elaborated with you, Megumi,"

"Oh," she frowned, "Then… who…?"

"And that's where I come in," Kaiba cut in, "Since I have detention thanks to those two."

"Oi…" Malik blinked as Megumi H. muttered something that sounded like, "I can't believe this…"

"And… where would Anzu fit in?" Megumi H. asked Honda.

"I'm with them on Friday," Anzu replied, coming up behind Malik (who nearly jumped two feet in the air).

"And what about your brother?" Malik asked Yugi.

"He's with Kaiba today," Yugi smirked, "And I'm helping him."

"Err…" both Megumi H. and Malik faced each other again with a worried look on their faces.

"Is something the matter with that?" Yami asked, joining them, scaring the heck out of Megumi H… again.

"Not really," she huffed, slightly giving him a glare before shaking her head, "I don't know. From the way you guys talk about your plans… they sound like they're not going to work."

"Oh, come on!" Honda groaned, "What is wrong with our plans!?"

"I don't know," she paused, biting her lip, "I had a bad feeling something's going to happen."

"And you guys would get into a huge amount of trouble," Malik pointed out, "I mean… if I was to be involved, I would like to help… but on second thought, I don't know if I even want to since the principal knows we all are friends of Jou."

"I'm not so sure what's going to happen, either," Kaiba frowned, "But I kind of agree with the both of you. On the other hand, I really want to get back at those two for some other reasons besides getting me into detention."

"I agree," Yami nodded.

"Speaking of agreeing with each other…" Ryou glanced at the two, "Just why you two decided to act friendly with each other? I thought Yugi said the two of you hated each other like pure rivals."

"We DO hate each other," Kaiba scowled. "That's one thing that's never going to change."

"The day that the two of us decided on a real truce is the day hell decides to freeze over into an igloo," Yami frowned, "What gave you the idea we are friends?"

"Well… for one thing…" Anzu frowned, you two agree on everything now…"

"And the fact you both worked on a truce…" Yugi arched his eyebrow in suspicion.

Both Yami and Kaiba sighed at the same time.

"It was a little complicated to work out a truce," Kaiba scowled, glaring at Yami, "Especially when your rival has anger problems-"

"Hey, I'm not the one who has an over-inflated ego that is twice the size of his company!" Yami glared at him back.

"Tch. Says the person who denies having a girlfriend when he looks like he has one."

"What!? I do NOT have a-"

"Suuuure," Honda rolled his eyes, "Tell yourself that. And Jou and Mai are bound to get married one day in Las Vegas."

Everyone fell silent over that remark as they stared at him.

Honda blinked, facing them, "Whaaaaat?"

"You know… I can see that happening," Ryuji winced, "And I think those two ARE an old couple arguing with each other."

They all nodded, agreeing with Ryuji.

"Oh well. At least I'm not worried about that later until we go to college," Anzu sighed, "I gotta go inside and talk with a teacher about that math problem I had a hard time with."

"Me too," Megumi H. agreed. Anzu was about to say Megumi H. does not have the same math teacher, but kept her mouth shut because she knew that's not why her friend wanted to go with her in the school. "I… gotta ask the teacher about something as well."

"Oh, is that so?" Yami asked in, knowing that she does not have the same teacher.

So… why did she wanted to go with Anzu?

He noticed that Ryuji suspected something as well as the two faced each other and nodded. The others didn't get it, but they didn't pay attention to it anyway.

Anzu and Megumi H. walked towards their school, then Anzu asked her friend, "Okay, something is bothering you. What is it?"

"Well…" Megumi H. paused, "I don't know. It's that… well, I think Mai and Jou are up to something."

Anzu blinked, then she groaned. "Oh. Craaaaaap… how do you know that?"

"Having Mai dare the guy I'm getting annoyed because he teases me a little more than he should to do on a date with me was enough for me to figure out some things. Obviously… you do know Mai and Jou are planning some things to get back at us just because we handcuffed them, right?"

Anzu paused.

"Damn. We're dead, aren't we…"

"I don't know…" Megumi H. grumbled.

"About the fact we're going to be VERY dead?" Anzu asked her.

"No…"

"About what?"

"I'm still bothered by something else."

"What is it?"

"That night when he called to… you know…"

Anzu groaned, "Oh brother. Not this again… Tell me what exactly happened on that night. We talked about this Saturday, you remember?"

"I know," Megumi H. winced, "It's just that… okay. He called me while I was sleeping and he asked me if I was to go on a date with him. Then afterwards, I asked him why he wanted to ask. Then he told me that Mai dared him to ask me out. Then we laughed about it and… yeah. That was it."

"That's it?" Anzu asked, arching her eyebrow. "What about how you felt?"

She blinked, facing Anzu. "You're… kidding, right?"

Anzu shook her head.

Megumi H. sighed, "Okay. At first, when he called me, I was tired. Then when he asked me that question, I was surprised. But when he told me it was a dare, I was actually… well, relieved and a little peeved at Mai at the same time. I took it as a joke… why?"

"Huh. So that's how you felt… That's odd…" Anzu grumbled, "Because Yami told me and Ryuji the same thing… only except his version was a little different from yours."

Megumi H. blinked. "Wha…?"

"I called Ryuji last night about the plan we are going to do on Jou and Mai. But while we were talking, Yami called Ryuji in the middle of our conversation, sounding like he was freaking out about something."

Megumi H. blinked again for good measure. Then she eyed her friend as she asked the next question.

"Anzu…? What did he say?"

-Meanwhile…-

"And that's all of the desks we needed," Mai sighed in relief, "About time, too. I was getting mixed up with the desks!"

Jou scowled, "And…" he faced Shinomori-sensei, "It better be a good reason… WHY are you exactly helping us again?"

Aoshi sighed, "It was due to the fact that your friends were the ones who are not only annoying me, but they are the same people who handcuffed you two. I just thought having an adult supervising you two would be interesting to see what was to come."

"Ah," Mai and Jou said at the same time. Then Jou frowned, "Wait… I thought you hated me too…"

"And I still do," Aoshi smirked, "I still do remember that detention this afternoon."

The two groaned.

"Well, that's not going to change, isn't it…" Jou groused to himself.

"Eh. At least we're getting something else out of this," Mai sighed.

"… do we?"

Aoshi was still planning a way to torture the two… until he remembered that he has a "pile" of tests and quizzes to grade from his classes last week. His smirk turned back into his emotionless face as he glared at the two troublemakers.

"All right. You two need to get out. I have papers to grade. NOW."

The two went out of the room immediately.

"Geez!" Jou glared at the teacher, "Did he actually forget to grade our stuff!?"

"For the second time this year," Mai rolled her eyes.

Jou stared at her.

Mai took a double take at him, "What? The first time he forgot to grade papers was when he had some teacher's meeting over the weekend!"

"…is there even such thing as a teacher's meeting?"

"I have nooooo idea."

The two started to walk down towards the front of the school with a silence surrounding them. Finally, Jou faced Mai as he noticed the way she looked worried rather than cheerful.

Then again, not all Monday are that cheerful and… everyone he knows are practically dead.

"Mai? You okay?" he asked, having a worried tone in his voice.

She blinked out of her thinking state and looked at Jou, "Oh… er… I don't know. I was thinking about something, but you would not be all that interested in it."

"Huh," Jou frowned, "And I thought that while you and my sister were talking this morning, I was sure something was wrong."

"What!?" she exclaimed, "You heard!!?"

"Well… not exactly, but I kind of took a guess…"

"A guess? Well, if that was your guess, Mr. Goddamn-Know-It-All, then you're absolutely correct," Mai glared at him.

"What did I do to piss you off now!?" Jou glanced at her with the "What-did-I-do-now!?" face.

"Well," she glared at him, "For one thing, you think you were VERY smart when overhearing our conversation this morning, right!?"

"…the hell? I was in the shower at the time, MAI!! Wait, then again, why did I ask that first question in the first place!?"

"I don't know, you moron! You figure it out! Wait, then again, I bet you don't even know what your first question was!!!"

"NANI!?!?" Jou glared at her and was about to respond with his middle finger when Mai covered his mouth.

"Mmph!!"

"Shut up…" Mai hissed under her breath, "I'm trying to hear something."

"?!?!?!?" Now Jou was both pissed and confused. He was glaring at her as he gave her the infamous middle finger.

She glared at him and gave the same salute to him back.

Jou was about to rip her hand off from his mouth and start another argument in the hall.

Again.

Too bad Mai still decided to clamp his mouth shut.

-At the same hallway…-

"Anzu…? What did he say…?" Megumi H. asked Anzu.

A sigh came from Anzu, "Err… you know how your brother is with someone else for the project, right?"

"…yeah, what about it?"

"Well, he was calling me to ask about some facts about a certain subject his partner decided to leave him with when Yami called… in the middle of our conversation."

"Uh huh…"

"At first, both Ryuji and I had no idea why he called. Then he started to… freak out about something."

"… why?"

"Yami?" Ryuji frowned, "I didn't expect you to call at this time…"

"Gomen," Yami grumbled, "Should I call another time?"

"Forget it," Anzu replied, "We're too lazy to do any part of the project, so… what's up? And do you sound okay?"

"No," he flatly replied.

"Figures," both Anzu and Ryuji muttered to themselves.

"Actually, I'm… still… freaked out… aboutwhathappenedFridaynight."

"Friday ni- what!?" Ryuji, who caught all of that, groaned out loud, "Is it about that thing Mai dared you to do!?"

"Try and take three guesses, Ryuji. Is there any reason as to why I'm calling you two and not Jou and Mai?"

Anzu was the only one lost and confused, "Whaaaat? Friday ni… oooh. THAT."

"…and how do you know what we were talking about, Anzu?" Ryuji blinked. Anzu grinned.

"Megumi told me yesterday! Why?"

"And… they were pretty pissed off right there," Anzu winced, still remembering the boys' reactions.

"Just because I told you?" Megumi H. blinked.

"She did WHAT!!?" the two boys exclaimed at the same time.

She winced, "Well… she did mention about that…"

"What did she say?" Yami's voice turned from 'what-the-hell!?!?" into a panicked tone.

Anzu blinked, "Err… she said that she thought and still thought that you, Yami, were not asking her out on purpose. But she is still wondering if Mai really did dare you to ask her out."

"…she really did," Yami's voice was immediately flat. Then he started to slightly panic, "But... in a way…"

"What?" Anzu and Ryuji asked at the same time.

"You both know that Mai dared me to ask Megumi out because she was pissed off."

"Because you did something to her?" Ryuji muttered.

Yami chose to ignore that statement. "And when I did… she and I laughed about it because she thought it was a joke, right?"

"…right…" Ryuji grumbled, nodding in agreement.

"…I was doing what Mai told me and I was pissed off. But at the same time…"

"?" Anzu blinked.

"…I felt disappointed."

"He was disappointed?" Megumi H. gawked at her. "You're… not serious, right?"

Anzu arched an eyebrow at her, "You really have noooo idea, do you…"

"What?"

Anzu sighed, "Well, Megumi, you should know by now."

"Know about what!?!?" now Megumi H. was confused.

"…you really want to know or not? He told me and Ryuji that-"

"Shh!" Megumi H. shushed her.

"What now?" Anzu groaned, "And what's the matter? Do you still want me to tell you or-"

There was a series of voices coming from the left corner of the hallway. Megumi H. glanced at her.

"You hear that?" she asked Anzu, who heard it as well.

"…you think it's them?" Anzu whispered to Megumi H. "You know who I'm talking about…"

Megumi H. paused again. Then her face blanched.

"You do know they heard the whole thing you just said, right…"

Now it was Anzu's face to turn pale. "Crap. You serious?"

Megumi H. nodded.

"Damn."

-In that corner…-

"Well, well…" Kaiba smirked, "Who knew."

"Why did you have to come here at a time like THIS!" Mai hissed under her breath, her hand finally off from Jou's mouth. "And it was getting good, too!"

"It's because I found you two… Jou on the wall while you, Mai, were placing your lips on his like you two were kissing passionately-"

"I had to!!" Mai blushed a deep red, "I had to shut him up! He was trying to say that I'm sexually molesting him or something!!!"

"Well, you were!" Jou hissed, his face a deep red as well, "And you just HAD to kiss-"

"Shut up!"

Kaiba chuckled in amusement, "Wow. Who knew. You two are starting to act like a couple already. I guess those handcuffs were in handy for your friends after all."

He received two death glares.

"You. Shut up." They said at the same time.

Kaiba was still snickering.

"And did you say we were kissing passionately, Kaiba?" Jou glared at him.

"It looked like you did,"

"WE DID NOT KISS EACH OTHER PASSIONATLY!!!" Mai glared at him as well, trying her best to keep her voice level down so she wouldn't get caught.

"I agree… and I can't believe I'm saying these words from my mouth," Jou groaned. "But why the hell was he disappointed?"

Kaiba frowned, "Considering this is my rival we're talking about… I have no idea."

"I do," Mai smirked.

Kaiba blinked, then realized her grin was NOT a very good looking one. "Kuso. I thought so. You two ARE planning something after your friends, aren't you…"

Jou's scowl turned into a grin, "Yup! What did you expect? They handcuffed us in the first place."

"And I don't think you're one to talk about this, Kaiba," Mai started laughing. "So… unless you want to be embarrassed by an idiot and a gossip…"

Kaiba now has the right to fear for himself.

-Meanwhile, on the other side…-

"She told her, didn't she…" Ryuji sighed, shaking his head.

Yami was already red in the face as he starting thinking about a way to get back at Jou, Mai, and Kaiba, but at Anzu.

Malik shook his head, "I don't believe this… you two followed them for that?"

"Hey, we needed to know!" Ryuji exclaimed.

"And… now she knows," Yami groaned.

Malik blinked. Then he noticed the camera. "Ryuji… what the hell is that?"

"Oh… hey, Yami, look on the bright side," Ryuji smirked, holding up a digital camera, "I got a lovely picture."

"Of what?" Yami asked, curious to know.

Ryuji snickered before showing Yami and Malik two certain people in a liplock. Malik's eyes widened slightly before trying to cover his laugh.

"So?"

"…why do you need it?" Yami asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Well, for one thing," Ryuji sighed, "Kaiba called me moments ago to report that both Jou and Mai heard their conversation about last night."

"You're… kidding."

"Nope!" Ryuji sniggered, "Which was why I asked him to take a picture at the right moment. What do you think we do with it?"

Yami paused for a minute. Then he chuckled in a very evil tone, having a smirk played on his face. Both Ryuji and Malik blinked at their friend. If Yugi, Honda, and Ryou weren't so busy for homeroom preparing for their first half of the plan, they would have been sacred for the rest of the day.

"I have a new idea."

But… yeah.

A combination of the vocabulary from Chapter 12 to this one. Sorry for the long list…

Glossary

-From Chapter 12:

Ahou: Idiot (Saitou's favorite nickname for Sanosuke)

Kuso…: Just ot say it plainly, this is one of the common curse words you hear in Japan. So it can mean a lot of things. In this case… it's means: Shit…

Sensei: teacher (used on Chapter 14 too)

Onii-san: Big brother (no, not the one from 1984, which is one of those freaky books I'll ever read…) (used in Chapter 14 as well)

Oi…: Hey…

Nani!?: What!? (used in Chapter 14 as well)

…de gozaru: For those who know Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin says this at the very end of his sentences (it gets annoying after a while). I actually forgot the real meaning of this statement…

temee: bastard

niwatori: chicken (Sano's nickname… although he's more commonly known as niwatori-atama (rooster head))

hebi: snake

tatami mat: I should explain this one. it's actually a bamboo mat used for a floor in a traditional home or in Japan.

Itai: Ow

Baka: Another word for idiot. Used very often. (also used in Chapter 13)

-From Chapter 13:

Kitsune: Fox (Megumi T. (RK)'s nickname used mostly by Sanosuke since they display an unknown amount of affection towards each other)

Tanuki: Raccoon (Saitou was the one who thought of that… or wait. Was it Watsuki? Whatever, Kaoru's nickname.)

Itachi: Weasel (Okay, this one was made up by Saitou. Misao's nickname.)

Jou-chan: Sano's nickname for Kaoru. Means "little missy"

-sama: a honorific name to say to a person that is far more superior to you or… that other way… I'm… not… mentioning here…

Moshi moshi: A greeting for answering phone calls.
