Ch4 Fukai Mori (deep forest)

"Umph!" Jou tripped over a low branch. His cards went flying. "Ahh, fuck!" He bent over and picked a card up. "Da Flames Swordsman?"

(flashback)

"So, What's your favorite card, Jonouchi?" Sweet and quiet Ryou had asked. "The Flames Swordsman, definitely! He kicks butt!" The albino smiled. "Ryou? Do you have a favorite card?" Yugs had asked suddenly. "Yes, actually, It's this one. Anzu looked at the card. It was a magic card, one side had bat wings while the other was an angel. "The Change of Heart?" Ryou smiled.

(end flashback)

Jou pulled out the weapon, inspecting it's silver blade, the slashed it through the fusion monster. 'Heart of the Cards' his ass. Did it come through when his Father raped him? No. Could he have dueled his way out of the problem? No. Sorry Yami, but dueling isn't life. Life is hell. Life is pain, then you die. Death, now death was joy. Endless oblivion. Just to be able to think without getting interrupted. Solitude. That's all he had ever wanted. Sure he saved Shizuka's sight, No. He did not. Yugi did. Yugi won the 380 million yen. (about 3 mil) It was all Yugi. Kaiba's right, I *am* a loser.

Kaiba noticed the change in the scenery as he entered the bad part of the town. This was where the druggies and homeless lived. Jonouchi. Please be alive. Kaiba's Mazda flew over Domino Bridge. To most people it was called 'The Suicide Bridge' because the water was so deep. Please don't be *under* there, my love. Just hold on. Kaiba saw apartments and found Jonouchi's flooded in flames. No. He's my only love. I wouldn't be able to live without him!

Jou pressed the knife to his wrist, vertical. This wasn't the movies. People, most people, don't slash across their wrists. They try to puncture the vein in a clean cut. "Ow!" I *must* have got the vein! I feel wetness. Jou looked down and to his bewilderment he hadn't even nicked it! The wet feeling was from rain! "I should have just OD'ed up on sleeping pills..." Jou groaned. This time he lifted the knife and stabbed the point of the blade into his vein. Again, it didn't work. Then suddenly a white, hot, searing pain exploded from his arm and the blood gushed.

"AUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!"

Kaiba raised his head. Tears had been shed from his eyes. That scream had been from Jonouchi. He *knew* it. After all they *were* soul mates. Kaiba ran blindly towards the scream. He ran into the forest, took a right at an oak tree; then followed the path back until he saw Jonouchi looking quite proud. "Katsuya!" Jou turned his head. "G-go away!" Kaiba felt tears prickling at his eyes. He walked towards Jonouchi. "I can't. Without you, I'd be nothing. Please stop this." Jou smiled a psychopathic smile, "Stop what? My death?" He lifted the knife, poised to cut his other wrist. Kaiba placed one hand on the back of Jou's hand and another above the huge gash on Jou's forearm. He did this so quickly that the knife went flying from Jou's hand. In other words, the knife would never be found.

"What did you do *that* for! That knife was my salvation!" Jou hissed at the taller boy. Kaiba snorted. "*That* was your *salvation*?!" The blonde turned his back to Kaiba to hide his tears. "Look, if you of all people were sent here by Yugs, then I guess Kami is laughing at me. I s'pose I'm meant to die. Now leave me be!" Kaiba laid a hand on his love's trembling shoulder. "No Katsuya. Kamisama doesn't want *any* of his children to suffer. And your email fucked up. It was sent to me. And-" "And *what*!?" You're gonna tell me to stay alive so you can torture me on Monday?" Jou turned around. "*Hmmm*!? Tell me! Why do you hate me? What did I do?" Kaiba looked appalled, "I never hate you, Katsuya." "Really!?" Jou rounded on Kaiba. "What do you do when you *hate* someone?" Kaiba chuckled. "I push them out a window." This time Jou looked confused. "Never mind. And to answer your other question, I detested you because you remind me of...me...I *love* you, Katsuya." Jou smiled, "I love you too." Jou suddenly slumped over. Kaiba grabbed his fainted love. Kaiba briskly walked out of the woods carrying Jou to his car. Kaiba put Jou in the passenger seat and revved up the Mazda. It's strange how I end up falling for my enemy. I always tried to put him down so I wouldn't remember what Gozaburo did to me. Even earlier today I *never* thought that I would think about my 'lessons'. "Seto-boy" Came from Kaiba's memory. Kaiba stopped the car. He hurled himself from the Mazda. And I never thought I'd be in the cold puking up my dinner, either.

Kaiba slid into the white car to see Jonouchi awake. "Seto? Are you okay?" Kaiba turned the key in the ignition. "I'm fine." That *really* convinced Jou. "You're yellow...That's not normal." Kaiba glared, "How do you know?" "You are usually pale." Kaiba sighed, "I don't want to talk about it, Katsuya." The Mazda pulled into Kaiba's drive. "Can you walk?" Jou looked offended, "Course I can *walk*! I'm not *stupid*!" When he stood up his legs turned to jelly. Before Jou could fall to the ground, Kaiba caught him. "My silly puppy," Kaiba said affectionatlly and headed towards the mansion.
