Chapter 7: Bonds and Eternity
Jou woke up, feeling happy and content. He sat up and stretched, thinking about last night. 'Man, last night was a blast!' he thought. Jou turned to his side and found it empty again. Instead, a note was found in its place. Jou tenderly picked up the note and saw Seto's hand writing on it:
Jou, I had to go to an early morning meeting. Kitchen is just downstairs, so help yourself. I enjoyed last night, and I want to be with you forever, so don't forget to meet me at the park tonight. After the sun goes down. Don't be late. -Seto
Jou chuckled at the note and put it in his pants pocket. Jou dressed into his uniform and headed downstairs for some breakfast. Jou, with a lot of poking around, found the kitchen and opened the cabinets and cupboards like a little kid. Tons of food littered the inside of the kitchen, along with kitchenware and utensils. Jou smiled, and got himself some cereal.
Pouring the cereal into a cereal bowl, Jou looked out the window. 'Seto, when I wished for someone to love, you came into my life just like that. How can I ever repay you for sacrificing practically anything just to be my lover?' he thought. Pouring milk, Jou sat down and ate his cereal while looking at the window. 'Seto, I wonder what you have planned tonight? Will it be anything like last night?' he thought.
Then Jou remembered what Seto said about Yami. How Yami was not a normal teen like Jou and Yuugi. 'Yami might not be treating Yuugi right. Since he's a vampire, he might be after Yuugi's blood like almost every vampire in the world. I have to make sure Yuugi is all right, and I have to make Yami promise to take care of Yuugi and protect him' he thought.
'Since I'll be with Seto now, and I might not be around. And someone has to protect Yuugi with their life' he thought. Soon, Jou was finished with his breakfast, and he left the bowl in the sink, grabbed his backpack, and left to walk to school.
Jou arrived at school, seeing Anzu there already. Jou smiled, and walked over to Anzu. "Good morning Anzu." he greeted. Anzu turned to him and smiled. "Good morning Jou! How are you?" she replied. "Just fine. I just need to talk to Yuugi." he said. Anzu's eyes lit up even more. "Oh! There's still time! I can run and get Yuugi for you." she said. Jou nodded. "Sure Anzu! Can you do that?" he asked. Anzu nodded and she bounded to go get Jou's best friend.
As Jou waited, he thought very deeply into what Seto meant that he and Jou were going to never seperate. 'Is he going to do some kind of ritual or something? I hope he does, cause I want to be with him forever, even if it cost me my life or soul' he thought. "Hey Jou! You there, buddy?" asked a voice, with a hand waving in Jou's face. Jou's attention snapped back to reality and he turned to face Honda.
"Hey Honda! Sorry, didn't see you there." he said. Honda laughed and slapped Jou's back. "Thinking about something?" he asked. Jou shook his head. "No, just spacing out." he said. Honda nodded and looked straight ahead of him.
Jou then saw Yuugi and Anzu coming up to them. "Hi Jou!" Yuugi greeted. "Hey Yuugi." Joey replied halfheartedly.
"What's up, Jou? Anzu said you wanted to talk to me." Jou nodded, then turned to Honda and Anzu. "Could you all please leave us alone for a moment? I need to talk to Yuugi alone." he requested. Everyone departed, saying all kinds of good-byes to Yuugi and Jou. Jou turned his attention back to the petite tri-colored boy.
"Yuugi, I know you've been spending time with the new kid, Yami. I'm happy that you made a new friend, but I just gotta know Yuugi. Is Yami treating you well?" asked Jou, looking at Yuugi straight in the eye.
Yuugi looked back at Jou. "Yes Jou. I'm sorry if you and the others feel neglected. I didn't mean to stop spending time with you." Yuugi answered with sureness in his voice. Jou shook his head.
"It's okay Yuugi. The gang and I are happy that you're happy. Just remember that we'll be at your side in friendship no matter what."
Yuugi nodded. "Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?" asked Yuugi kindly. After a long pause, Jou shook his head. "Just wanted to tell you that." he answered, smiling his smile. Yuugi smiled, then walked off. Jou watched his best friend walk away, happy and content. "Yuugi's all right. I can tell' he thought.
Class went on, in slow motion. Jou was as bored as a kid stuck in a mall with his mom. Jou then noticed Yami and Yuugi near each other and remembered his priority. Jou took out a piece of paper and scribbled a short but serious message on it:
Meet me at the fountains at lunch. I need to talk to you about Yugi. Don't be late.
-Joey Wheeler
Jou then checked to make sure that the teacher wasn't looking, then threw the note to Yami's desk and watched from there. He saw Yami pick up the note, had a questioning look on his face, but put the note in his pocket. Jou smiled and listened to the teacher for the rest of the time passing.
The lunch bell rang, and Jou immediately went to the school fountains to wait for Yami. Jou sat down on a fountain's edge and waited for Yami.
Five minutes passed, and Yami still didn't show up. "Grr!! The guy's 5 minutes late! He must be scared of me or doesn't know who I am or something!" he said out loud.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I had trouble finding the fountains, and I know who you are and I'm not intimidated by you." said a rich voice. Jou turned to the voice's direction and saw Yami standing there.
"So, why did you want to talk to me about Yuugi, Jou?" asked Yami. Jou stood up and walked over to Yami.
"Look Yami, I know Yuugi likes you, and from what I can tell, you two are good friends. When I'm not around him, I need someone to make sure he doesn't get killed or something." Yami just looked at Jou.
"Yami, I know you're a vampire. I know about Yuugi's blood rep and I just need you to make a promise." Yami's eyes narrowed. "Yes?"
"I know you'll never harm Yuugi, because if you wanted to you would've already done it. So promise me this." Yami got prepared.
"Promise you'll protect Yugi with your life." Jou begged. Yami turned his head and smiled.
"I promise you, Joey. Nothing will harm Yuugi while I'm around." he reassured. "But, what will you do if I break this promise?" Jou smirked.
"I'll never trust you again and kill all your kind, including you." Yami nodded. "My word is my bond. I'll keep the promise." Jou gave him the thumbs-up sign, then walked away. 'Yami's not bad. I know he'll keep his promise' he thought.
School carried on, everyone said their good-byes and left for home. Jou went home to go change into something nice before the sun went down. Jou rummaged through his closet and bureau like a girl, frantically looking for something nice to wear. "I can't find anything! I really need to go shopping sometime!" he shouted, thankful that no one was in the house to hear him.
Finally, Jou decided on black jeans, and a cerulean blue silk shirt, to remind Jou of Seto's eyes. Jou looked out the window. The sun was going down soon, and Jou wasn't even close to the park yet. So Jou fled out of the door with his tennis shoes on and practically ran to the park. The sun went down, and Jou had just reached the park. (a/n They are in a different section of the park. so they won't see Yami and Yuugi)
Jou looked around, looking for any sign of Seto. Jou then saw a tall figure far ahead and Jou ran to it. Jou then saw that it was Seto with a girl he had never seen before. She had feiry red hair and silver cold and cut eyes. The girl was wearing a white angle robe, but no wings and halo. The girls skin was so tan, that Jou guessed that she was probably int he sun a lot. Jou's eyes roamed to Seto.
Seto was wearing black slacks and a black T-shirt with his trench coat. Jou thought Seto couldn't look any more beautiful. Seto turned around and saw Jou and smiled. "Hello Jou. This is Laverna. She is an angle that bonds vampires and humans together. Jou, take a good look at these cards." said Seto, holding out two cards. Jou looked at the two cards in Seto's perfect hands.
The cards were blank, with only blue and red designs on the border for decoration. Jou looked at Seto with a confused look. Seto smiled. "I will spill my blood on the blue card on my right. After that, I will solemnly say *I give up my immortality to have one lifetime with the one I bond with tonight*. After that, we are bonded through life and death. When you die, I'll die with you, so that we will always be together. Nothing can seperate us." Jou looked at Seto with warm eyes.
Laverna then handed Seto a knife. Seto took it, handed the red card to Laverna who took it, and sliced his own palm. Crimson liquid was visible on Seto's palm, and Seto allowd the blood to drop onto the blue card. "Say it." hissed Laverna. "I give up my immortality to have one lifetime with the one I bond with tonight." he said confidently. The cards then started glowing. Seto then opened his arms, inviting Jou into an embrace. Jou ran over to Seto and kissed him passionately on Seto's soft sweet lips.
Magic swirled around the two as they kissed and embraced each other. Soon the magic stopped, and Seto and Jou pulled apart. On Jou's neck was the red card with a Red Eyes Black Dragon on it, shimmering in the moonlight. On Seto's neck was the blue card with a Blue Eyes White Dragon on it, shining in it's glory. "Now you two are bonded." said Laverna curtly, then disappeared. Seto and Jou looked at each other with loving eyes.
"Does that mean that you and I are now a couple?" asked Jou. Seto laughed, then kissed Jou softly on the lips again, then pulled away. "Does that answer your question, pup?" he asked. Jou smiled. "Don't call me that." he said. "But you'll always be my pup." Seto replied, the two hugging each other as the moon shined it's full light on the couple embracing each other.
