SGL: Ah...I've finally outlined my complete plot and I have to say, I think
you guys will like it, but I'm going to be changing the rating, next
chapter, up to R and changing the genre from humor to drama because it
becomes much more suggestive and...dramatic...
Seto: They never would've guessed...
SGL: And I apologize now, because for most of the story, Jou's going to be the antagonist...sorry Jou fans! But I give him a very emotional reason...
Ryou #5: Now, on with the story! I got my popcorn this time!
Ryou: You're so lazy...God forbid I need a stunt double...
Ryou #5: O.O
SGL: I don't own YuGiOh and in this chapter I'm using a person's POV because otherwise it's too hard to explain.

~*~Shizuka's POV~*~
I can't believe what just happened. I mean, we were all having fun, until JOU came along and spoiled it for us...I can't believe what's gotten into him, I'm grown up and I can take care of myself.
Here's what happened first...
~*~*~*~
Shizuka stood frozen, not out of being caught, but out of anger. How dare Jou interrupt them like that?
"Otogi! I'm gonna kill you!" Jou roared before lunging at Ryuuji. Shizuka yelped and dove in front of him.
"Katsuya Jounouchi, what do you think you're dong?!" Shizuka demanded.
"I should be asking you the same thing! What do YOU think YOU'RE doing, standing out on the balcony, ALONE with a guy you don't even know, smooching it up, while your date's inside looking for you!"
"I know Ryuuji perfectly well, not that it's any of your business!"
Seto still stood in frozen shock at the door.
"And you!" Jou flung himself on Otogi (sounds wrong, I know, I know...). "You're out here taking advantage of a young girl...my sister!"
Otogi didn't respond. He seemed to be shaking with anger. He walked right up to Jou.
"She's not so young a girl. She is, in fact, a woman, a woman that I've fallen for, so get over it and butt out." He stomped back inside, brushing by Seto.
Jou opened his mouth but Shizuka cut him off abruptly. "I'm not speaking to you ever again."
She turned on heel and reached for the doors, throwing herself inside and searching the walls for Ryuuji. He was heading towards the other side of the room already, where Ryou was standing confused.
She started heading over, but a voice amplified by the microphones called out, "Dinner is served."
There was a great rush to get to the dinner tables and she found herself being swept up to the front table, where all of her friends were sitting. She reluctantly sat down at the seat labeled with her name on a card.
The table filled up relatively quickly with her chattering friends who didn't even seem to notice anything had happened.
Soon, Jou and Seto sat themselves down at their seats, which, unfortunately, were on either side of her. Ryuuji, at least, was directly across from her. He saw her gave a small smile, but it melted away when he saw the look Jou was giving him.
Dinner was served and it was delicious. Seto had pulled out all the stops. But Shizuka merely poked at it a little with her chopsticks. She felt like she'd lost her appetite.
Pretty soon, Yugi and Malik began a loud, but comical, argument over whether duelists with yamis performed better. Malik was soundly against harboring a spirit in his body, but then again, who could blame him, his own experiences proved disastrous.
~*~Shizuka's POV~*~
So that's how it began. I'm still not sure what happened next. Jou got into the conversation on yamis, bringing his bad mood with him. He somehow managed to massively offend half the table causing them all to leave the Convention in anger, including Ryuuji. I wanted to go with him, but Jou threatened to tell Mom and Dad about me seeing a guy, which would not be fun.
Anyway, when Jou insulted the yamis, Yugi left with Yami, followed by Anzu, Bakura, Otogi, and surprisingly, Honda. But, there were actually some people who agreed with my brother. Isis and Malik did, because Yami Malik killed their father, so I understand. But Seto and Mai had a really stupid reason. They said that the yamis dueled better so having them with a person in a match should've been considered cheating.
Ryou remained neutral, which I thought to be strange because his yami used to beat him. Later, I spoke to him. He said that it had nothing to do with the argument or his opinion on it. He just refused to fight with his friends. I gave him hug for that.
I just can't help but think how cool this guy could be sometimes.
Anyway, Seto had another limo take me and Jou home. Good thing those limos are huge, because there was no way that I was going to sit anywhere less than an arm's length away from him.
When we got into the house, the first thing I did was go up to take a shower. Well, maybe not the first thing...does slamming the door in Jou's face count?
Anyway, when I crossed the living room to get to the stairs, I walked by the photo of the bikini contest. For the first time, I really looked at it. Jou was in the foreground, in Anzu's thong bikini and holding a trophy, with the biggest smile on his face. In the back, all the guys were gathered, with disgusted and horrified, but amused looks on their faces.
What happened tonight was the hugest fight I'd ever seen in my life, including the ones my mom and dad used to have. I haven't seen anyone that angry in...forever. I'd thought that this was the strongest group around. I hope that this will pass, but I have a feeling it's going to take a lot.
~*~*~*~
Otogi wrenched open his door after he unlocked it and entered his dark house. He was still steaming from the fight from before.
"I can't believe Jou! He actually took his anger out on everyone else!" He was about to throw of his suit jacket when he realized that Shizuka still had it.
"Shizuka..." He whispered. He thought back to the balcony...the kiss...
BEE-EEP-BEE-EEP-BEE-EEP
"Huh?" The ringing of the phone had shaken him out of his thoughts. He went over and picked it up.
"Otogi residence." He said lazily.
"Hello, is this Otogi Ryuuji?"
"Uh, yeah, I am." He said a little cautiously. He had a bad feeling about this.
"This is the Domino City Hospital. We have a patient here by the name of Minota Furi. Is she the live-in housemaid at your residence?"
"Uh, yes, she doesn't have any family other than me. Why? What's wrong? What's happened to her?"
"Miss Minota has been in a car accident."
~*~At the Hospital~*~
Otogi's ears were ringing. The doctor had just told him that Furi was in critical condition. She was alive, but hadn't woken up yet.
"Because she's older, she's also more susceptible to a coma. She may be staying here for a while." The doctor said gently.
"Can I see her, please?" The doctor looked like he wanted to disagree, but after seeing the look on Otogi's face, relented.
Ryuuji was lead by a nurse to the darkened room where Furi lay. He sat down in a chair next to her and held her hand. He couldn't believe it. Furi was supposed to be the strong one. And for the first time in his entire life, Otogi saw her as an old woman.
Looking up at the bleeping monitors, at all the wires, at the needles and IV bags, Otogi felt...alone.
"Furi, I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me." He whispered as the tears fell from his face onto their hands.
~*~*~*~
SGL: (sniffles) Oh man, I can't believe I wrote that.
Ryuuji: (sniffles too) Me neither...
SGL: I'm sorry if it was a bit confusing with the whole POV stuff. I promise that the rest of the story won't have that. It will be in 3rd person omniscient, for those who know what that means. I almost always write in that.
Also, I know it's a bit short and kinda not up to my standards. Next chapter's going to be one hell of a ride though, so please stick around to read it.
Ryuuji: (reads outline) Whoa...cool...I do THAT in Chapter 7?!
SGL: (nods)
Ryuuji: Dude...
SGL: I saw 'Signs' last night, freaky movie, but good...really good...though, now, I'm afraid of going to sleep without a bottle of water nearby...or a baseball bat...
Seto: They never would've guessed...
SGL: And I apologize now, because for most of the story, Jou's going to be the antagonist...sorry Jou fans! But I give him a very emotional reason...
Ryou #5: Now, on with the story! I got my popcorn this time!
