blush.
Yami:...I would just _love_ to see that. (full of sarcasm)
Mijikai: What do you mean by that?
Yami: I'm being sarcastic.
Mijikai: I can...see that.
Yugi: Is there a reason why you two can't get along?
Mijikai: Yes.
Yami: Mostly because A'ra wants to kill me. BECAUSE SHE THINKS BAKURA'S HOT!
Bakura: -OO- (blush)
Yami: Not you Bakura other Bakura.
Bakura: Oh. (walks away)
Y.Bakura: -OO-
A'ra: I just mearly like the evil in him, and he's nothing compared to whom I really think is...what you today people put it...hot.
Mijikai: We are soooo getting off topic. Time to stop chattering and on with the chapter...(looks at readers) You people didn't just read all this did you?
(Some nod)
Mijikai: -- (sigh) I should get a private chat room for our embarrassing and rediculous dicussions.

(BONOUS ENTRY OF YAMI'S JOURNAL!)
~Yami's Entry~
Well, I did it.
I told him, but I fear it was not as I had expected.
I had been so sure he felt like I do him, but when he told me that the letters weren't from him, I felt a bit crushed, plus a bit guilty.
My heart was heavy and I felt like I was going to cry, but I knew better.
I avoided meeting up with Jou and Honda, for I didn't really feel like being with people as cheerful and as energetic as them.
(Sigh)
I'm pathetic.
The limo was waiting out where it always was and once I ducked into it, I found Seto there, typing on his lab top, focused, as usual.
"So, did you tell your 'crush'?" he asked absentmindedly.
I sat heavily across from him, and dug out an ice tea from the cooler department and took a long draught before answering.
"Do we have any beer?" I asked.
Seto stopped his typing and looked up at me, as he slowly closed the top.
"Rejected?" he asked, a bit of pity in his eyes.
"And a huge misunderstanding."
"Do tell," he said calmly as he folded his legs, hands folded in his lap like he was a businsess man. "I'm waiting."
I took a deep shuddering breath before closing the window that connected the back with the driver.
It was no business of the driver to know about this.
"We....I was being tutored by them, and...I told them how I felt and it turned out I made a horrible mistake."
"Did she turn out to have a boyfriend already?" Seto asked.
"No," I answered a bit coldly, a bit more then I intended. "Unlike you, I made sure they were single."
Seto blushed, probably remembering that past time when he kissed a girl and ended up being harrassed by her boyfriend for four months till he, Seto, moved.
"Eh...go on," he grunted, blush still staining his cheeks.
"I...well, maybe it was a bit my fault...I think I might have moved to soon..."
"Yami, how many times must I tell you. Aquaintance, friendship, love, purposal, and then marriage. So, how soon did you go?" he asked.
"I...kissed them," I admitted, a bit shameful now.
"Oh. That is a bit too soon," Seto murmured.
"But I thought they loved me too. I saw them slipping notes into my locker and they were all love letters signed by a secret admirer. And I've noticed their actions when I'm around was a bit hesitant and sometimes kluzy. Maybe I should have waited till I had everything straight," I muttered softly, feeling the emotion of pain and rejection run up my heart.
"Don't worry about it," Seto confirmed, patting me on the shoulder. "She probably was a slutty bitch who throws her pretty looks at any guy she could get her hands on. Or maybe the type where they pretend to love you, then dump you just to laugh at your pain..."
"YUGI ITSN'T LIKE THAT!" I shouted, and gasped, clapping both hands to my mouth.
'Shit, I did not mean to say that. Damn it!'
Seto looked at me with steady eyes, and I could see his mouth had dropped slightly before he closed it again.
He leaned back caseually, and continued to gaze at me with no emotion or giving away in what he was thinking.
I couldn't take it and burst.
"Okay so so what if I had a crush on a guy!" I asked, knowing I was probably blushing hard. "And you can insult me, tease me, or treat me like dirt now that you know, but do you know what Kaiba? I won't care!"
Seto continued to stare at me, then parted his lips to speak.
"I had my suspicions it was him. The way you looked at him, and even had the heart to give up your precious stash of cinnimen tea that your father gave to you as a present. And you even shared your special cooking, that you hide from people because you are afraid they would think you were a woman instead of a man. You let him on on that secret, and you didn't seem worried at all. And besides, I wouldn't blame you for liking Yugi. I would probably fall from him myself if I wasn't straight."
"Who says you are?" I asked, and I had the satisfaction in making him blush.
"W-what do you mean by that!" he stammered.
"Nothing," I said casually and crossed one leg over the other and leaned back, smirking at my flustered cousin. "Nothing at all.
~*~*~
It was late at night, and I couldn't sleep as the event ran through my mind.
Damnit, I felt so guilty in what I had done.
'He probably hates me, and now he'll spread rumors that I'm gay,' I thought sadly, and tears leaked from my eyes. 'I'd thought it would be different this time. Where people would accept me and I would find someone. That bastard Marik blabbed to everyone in Egypt when I told him how I felt. That was the end of our friendship and my life there. And to top it off, Dad had to go out and die on me.'
I buried my face into my pillow and couldn't help but cry.
Why was life so cruel to me?

Entry Five
The last two days were terrible.
I spent the last two days locked up in my room and crying.
I was so confused and felt so much guilt, and most of all I was scared.
All these emotions within me were making my heart beat and my stomach squirm, but that wasn't what was scaring me.
No.
What scared me is that I was actually, maybe, falling for a guy!
'Great, now people have another excuse to treat me like dirt and tease me.'
I hate my life!
I sniffed as I curled up tighter upon my bed and buried my face into my pillow.
A knock startled me and I quickly looked up, and wipped my eyes, and sniffed.
"Yugi, its me Grandpa, can I come in?"
"Yes," I said, and blushed.
It sounded more like a croak then a word.
The door opened and Grandpa slowly came in and sat beside me, and I could feel his gaze boring into me.
"Yugi, what's wrong, you've been in distress for some time now," Grandpa send gently, and I sniffed again.
"Its nothing that should concern you Grandpa," I said and forced out a smile. "It will probably be over in a couple of hours. Nothing to worry about."
Grandpa had that look in his eye and I knew he was going to try to coax it out of me.
"Yugi, you don't have to tell me directly, but I would like a bit of knowledge of what's bothering you so I could help."
I bit my lip, deciding in how I could explain a little bit of it without dismaying or having Grandpa faint dead upon the floor.
"Okay, it has to do with the emotion of...love. Though I'm not sure if I should and feel very uncomfortable."
Grandpa nodded, like he understood, and a smile appeared.
"I think I know who can help you. If you don't mind seeing a phyciatrist that is..." Grandpa started, but I interupted him with a curt nod.
"Acutally, I think that might help."
"Okay, I'll go make an appointment," Grandpa said and I finally cracked a smile, a grateful one at that.
He left and it was only mear mintues before he returned.
"He can see you today actually, right at this moment...if you don't mind..."
"The sooner the better," I sighed and left.
I was a bit nervous that my cousiler was going to be a guy since my problem was that I might, slight chance in being, that I was homosexual, which really gives me the creeps, and sort of wished it was a woman.
'This man would probably look at me with disgust and do what ever he could in getting me out of his office. Or worse, maybe I'll fall for him! AH! BAKA, DON'T THINK SUCH THINGS!'
It was just a whirl of worries as I slowly headed towards the little one story building that had a hand on a sign saying 'Phyciatrist.'
I went right in, and my stomach grew even more uneasy as I stated my name and was led to a room.
I was left to knock on the door, and heard a cheery, 'come in.' and did so.
Inside was pretty simple.
White four walls, small window, brown coach for patients to lay on, a stool, and office area.
Yes very simple.
A man, or actually a young female teenager, about my age turned around from her desk and smiled down upon me.
She had bright blonde hair, short, bright green eyes, and wearing a regular green shirt and badge skirt, ending at her knees.
"Greetings, you are..." she glanced at her sheet. "Yugi Mutou?"
"Yes," I said stunned.
'Its a girl? I thought Grandpa said he, and isn't she a little young. Cute too. Ha! Maybe I'm not gay after all!'
"Please take a seat," she said, idicating towards the coach.
I sat upon its edge and waited.
"Um...aren't you a little young to be a phyciatrist?" I asked and she chuckled.
"Oh I'm mearly an assistant, he should be coming along any moment now," she said, crushing my hopes. "By the way my name is Mana"
"Nice to meet you Mana," I said with a smile, when the door suddenly opened.
It was a young man, looking to be out of his college years.
He was tall...very tall...and had dark purple hair, reaching his slim shoulders and blue eyes.
His skin was tanned and he wore all...purple and around his neck, I noticed, was a tiny staff with a green gem within it.
"Greetings Mr. Mutou, I'm Mahado," he said with a kind smile.
He sat upon the stool, while Mana stood beside him, pencil ready to take notes.
"Now, from what I heard, you've been having problems with love?" he asked, getting to the point.
I blushed.
"Well...uh...its a bit...complicated..." I stammered, blushing really hard.
"Take your time," Mahado reasured. "a lot of people get this way on their first day."
"Well...I'm just a bit embarrassed because...I'm scared..."
"Go on," he urged. "Don't worry. What your problem is is probably something I've had many times before."
I took a deep shuddering breath and decided to just blurt it out.
"There is this...person. And I've been feeling strangely about them, and one day they confessed to me that they liked me and moved a bit too soon, and it scared me..." I finally got out, and Mahado-san pursed his lips and frowned.
"Hmmm, did they force themselves onto you?" he asked. "Would you consider this as a form of rape?"
I blushed.
"NONONONONONO!" I protested, hands waving everywhere. "Well, yes, they did sort of force themselves on me, but no, I do not think it as some kind of rape."
Mahado-san frowned even deeper, and I was afraid in what he'd say.
"Mr. Mutou," he said gently and smiled. "Please tell me straight out what the problem is. From what you've been telling me, I see no real reason to come here."
I blushed even harder, and gripped the couch seat and took a deep breath.
"Okay, but promise not to look too disgusted with me," I murmured.
"Never," Mahado-san said with a shake of his head. "Now go on."
'Okay, here it goes.'
"What I've told you was the problem though it may not seem like a big deal because it isn't a form of rape. But it is because what I've lacked to tell you was that that person is a guy."
There was silence, and I bowed my head deeper and blushed even harder.
"So..." I forced out. "after that event I'm afraid I might be becoming homosexual and...I'm scared, and don't know what to do!"
Tears trailed down my face.
I was so ashamed, maybe it wasn't such I good idea to tell them.
Maybe I should have kept it to myself and pretended that nothing was wrong.
I felt a hand placed over my shoulder and looked up to see Mana smiling down upon me.
No disgust or pity in her eyes, just bright energetic energy and a bit of sadness, for me I presumed.
"Its alright," she said kindly. "This is nothing we aren't used too. Most patients we receive are homosexual."
"She's right," Mahado-san said with a nod, and he too was smiling brightly. "And I'm glad you were able to have the courage to ask for help. Most keep it to themselves and end up commiting suicide."
"I admit, if Grandpa hadn't suggested it, I might have," I admitted.
Suddenly, the door opened, and who I saw made my jaw drop.
"Sorry doc, but I had to ask you som...what are you doing here!" Katsuya shouted as he spotted me.
"Um...um...ah..."
Mahado-san looked from one of us to the other, then looked at me again.
"Is this the boy you were talking about?" he asked.
I blushed deeply.
"No, no, no," I protested with the shake of my head.
"Well, since your obviously busy, I'll come back later..." Katsuya said, but Mahado-san stopped him.
"Actually, Mr. Jounouchi, I would like you to stay. Seems Mr. Mutou has the same problem as you, and maybe you can help him along."
Katsuya stared at me, then snorted.
"Him? Have my problem, fat chance of that."
"Mr. Mutou, why don't you tell Mr. Jounouchi your problem," Mahado- san said calmly.
I bowed my head as the words escaped my lips.
"I'm afraid I might becoming homosexual."
Katsuya stared at me.
"You ain't joking are you?" he asked.
"No."
"Then maybe we do have the same problem," he said and closed the door behind him and leaned against it. "But I swear, if any of what you hear gets out I swear I'll..."
"That will be enough," Mahado-san said firmly. "Mr. Jounouchi, can you please tell Yugi what your problem is?"
Katsuya only glared at me before replying.
"I have crush on a some guy and I'm trying to get myself back to girls again," he said, and blushed.
I chuckled lightly, but I think Katsuya took it the wrong way because he snarled at me.
"What's so funny!" he snapped.
I immediately stopped.
"I'm sorry, I meant no offense, its just that I was happy that we both have the exact same problem. Except...I kind of hurt the one I-think- I'm starting-to-like's feelings."
"Oh, tell me about him," Katsuya said.
I was surprised at how kind he was being.
Or maybe it was because there was a counsiler in here.
But there was no snarl or sneer on his face that he usually would have on for me even if there was supervision.
'Oh well, best grab this lucky chance.'
"Well...he's nice, cute, annoying, agressive and jumps to conclusions way to much," I murmured.
"I see we're getting along better," Mahado-san said happily. "Now, Jou," he said, dropping the formality. "you've been giving discription all this month but you never tell me who exactly he is. Can you do it now? Now that you have someone else that shares the same problem as you?"
Katsuya took a deep breath.
"If you tell I'll pummel you into a bloody pulp," Katsuya warned to me and I gulped. "His name is...Seto Kaiba."
My jaw dropped as I stared at him.
"Seto Kaiba!?" I blurted out. "You mean Mutou-kun's cousin!?"
Katsuya looked at me with narrowed eyes.
Well, so much for getting along.
"What do you know of him?" he asked, curiously, but with a slight deadly spice.
"Well, I know he likes to joke alot when he's with Mutou-kun. But I don't blame you for liking him. He really is a nice guy."
Katsuya blushed and a small smile touched his lips.
"Yeah, he is," he said a bit dazed, before shaking his head out of the clouds. "Okay now you."
I thought I was going to faint.
"..............."
"Well!"
"...........phami," I murmured.
"Sorry didn't catch that," Katsuya said as he cupped his ear.
"YAMI!" I shouted. "THAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU!"
Katsuya blinked dumbly, as I burst into tears, and felt the embrace of Mana.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into Mahado-san's blue eyes.
"Its alright, Yugi," he said with a smile. "You don't need to cry."
"I'm sorry," I sniffed. "I'm acting like a three year old."
"Its quite alright," he reasured. "I've had people age forty who had worse water works then you. And trust me, I don't exagerate when I say water works."
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yami."
I looked at Katsuya hesitantly, and flinched as I saw the livid look on his face.
"So you were the one Yami's been sulking over! You bastard!" he shouted. "Do you even know what you've done to him! He's been a wreck for the last two days!"
Now I was mad.
I stood up from the couch and comfronted him.
"You call me a bastard!" I shouted back. "He's the one who made a move on me when I wasn't even ready! And he's been a wreck!? I'm the one whose been crying my fucken eyes out all these passed two days! And I don't even know why I'm telling you this because you just don't have enough heart to understand me! No one understands me except for myself!"
(-^^- I admit, I do sound selfish, but that remark just didn't improve my bad mood)
"Then why don't you quit yapping and fucking tell me!" he shouted.
"No."
"Why not!?"
"Because its none of your damn business!"
I turned towards Mana and Mahado-san and bowed.
"Sorry for wasting your time and for the disturbance. I'll send you a check," I said and pushed passed Katsuya and left quickly out of the building.
I slowly trudged along the darkening street, walking under the lighted lamps and closed my eyes as a tear fell.
I felt guilty.
I shouldn't have yelled at Katsuya like that, and...I shouldn't have sounded so selfish.
Guilt gripped me and I squeezed my eyes shut as a tear slid passed my eye lash.
Honk! Honk!
"Hey kid watch out!" someone shouted and my head jerked up and I cried out as I saw a speeding truck coming my way and I couldn't move as the headlight blinded me.
Suddenly, I felt someone grab me and had the wind knocked out of me as we landed.
Spots popped here in there in my vision and a heard a fuzzy conversation of shouting.
"Crazy kids!"
"Well watch out next time you bastard!" came an answer and my head snapped up to see...Katsuya.
"You saved my life," I said, stunned, and he blushed as he looked away from me, pretending to brush himself off.
"Yeah well...it was nothing..." he said.
I smiled as I got up, but winced, and slumped back down.
"Eh...something wrong?" asked Katsuya.
"Ow, I think I hurt my ankle when we landed," I answered.
To my surprise, Katsuya gripped my arm and brought me up, and together we slowly made it back onto the street.
"So...why the big change Katsuya?" I asked.
"Hm? Oh!" he said and blushed as he looked away. "Well...in truth...uh...I thought you were a snot nosed bratty coward."
I stared at him.
"What?"
"Well...you always hung out with Anzu, and she is one of the most popular and pretty girls in the school, and you didn't seem to bother with anyone else. So I thought you didn't soicialize with people because you thought you were to good. But...you proved me wrong."
"When?" I asked.
"At the office. I can't explain it, but when I saw you there and how scared you looked at me well...I don't know...I just felt that I should be a little warmer."
I smiled.
"I'm glad. Sorry, if it seemed rude, I'm a bit shy and have a hard time making friends."
"That's what I realized when I saw you in the office. You seemed so scared and shy that I realized what type of person you are. I don't know if it was magic that allowed myself to open my eyes and take a look at you, or I was just to stubborn to take a look," he said.
"And we did seem to get on the wrong start when we first met, huh?" I asked, and he nodded.
"So we can start over," he said and stopped for a moment, extending his hand. "Hi, My name is Katsuya Jounochi, but call me Jou, will you be my friend?"
"I'm Yugi Mutou, and I'd be honored to be your considered your friend Jou."

A man, or actually a young female teenager, about my age turned around from her desk and smiled down upon me.
She had bright blonde hair, short, bright green eyes, and wearing a regular green shirt and badge skirt, ending at her knees.
"Greetings, you are..." she glanced at her sheet. "Yugi Mutou?"
"Yes," I said stunned.
'Its a girl? I thought Grandpa said he, and isn't she a little young. Cute too. Ha! Maybe I'm not gay after all!'
"Please take a seat," she said, idicating towards the coach.
I sat upon its edge and waited.
"Um...aren't you a little young to be a phyciatrist?" I asked and she chuckled.
"Oh I'm mearly an assistant, he should be coming along any moment now," she said, crushing my hopes. "By the way my name is Mana"
"Nice to meet you Mana," I said with a smile, when the door suddenly opened.
It was a young man, looking to be out of his college years.
He was tall...very tall...and had dark purple hair, reaching his slim shoulders and blue eyes.
His skin was tanned and he wore all...purple and around his neck, I noticed, was a tiny staff with a green gem within it.
"Greetings Mr. Mutou, I'm Mahado," he said with a kind smile.
He sat upon the stool, while Mana stood beside him, pencil ready to take notes.
"Now, from what I heard, you've been having problems with love?" he asked, getting to the point.
I blushed.
"Well...uh...its a bit...complicated..." I stammered, blushing really hard.
"Take your time," Mahado reasured. "a lot of people get this way on their first day."
"Well...I'm just a bit embarrassed because...I'm scared..."
"Go on," he urged. "Don't worry. What your problem is is probably something I've had many times before."
I took a deep shuddering breath and decided to just blurt it out.
"There is this...person. And I've been feeling strangely about them, and one day they confessed to me that they liked me and moved a bit too soon, and it scared me..." I finally got out, and Mahado-san pursed his lips and frowned.
"Hmmm, did they force themselves onto you?" he asked. "Would you consider this as a form of rape?"
I blushed.
"NONONONONONO!" I protested, hands waving everywhere. "Well, yes, they did sort of force themselves on me, but no, I do not think it as some kind of rape."
Mahado-san frowned even deeper, and I was afraid in what he'd say.
"Mr. Mutou," he said gently and smiled. "Please tell me straight out what the problem is. From what you've been telling me, I see no real reason to come here."
I blushed even harder, and gripped the couch seat and took a deep breath.
"Okay, but promise not to look too disgusted with me," I murmured.
"Never," Mahado-san said with a shake of his head. "Now go on."
'Okay, here it goes.'
"What I've told you was the problem though it may not seem like a big deal because it isn't a form of rape. But it is because what I've lacked to tell you was that that person is a guy."
There was silence, and I bowed my head deeper and blushed even harder.
"So..." I forced out. "after that event I'm afraid I might be becoming homosexual and...I'm scared, and don't know what to do!"
Tears trailed down my face.
I was so ashamed, maybe it wasn't such I good idea to tell them.
Maybe I should have kept it to myself and pretended that nothing was wrong.
I felt a hand placed over my shoulder and looked up to see Mana smiling down upon me.
No disgust or pity in her eyes, just bright energetic energy and a bit of sadness, for me I presumed.
"Its alright," she said kindly. "This is nothing we aren't used too. Most patients we receive are homosexual."
"She's right," Mahado-san said with a nod, and he too was smiling brightly. "And I'm glad you were able to have the courage to ask for help. Most keep it to themselves and end up commiting suicide."
"I admit, if Grandpa hadn't suggested it, I might have," I admitted.
Suddenly, the door opened, and who I saw made my jaw drop.
"Sorry doc, but I had to ask you som...what are you doing here!" Katsuya shouted as he spotted me.
"Um...um...ah..."
Mahado-san looked from one of us to the other, then looked at me again.
"Is this the boy you were talking about?" he asked.
I blushed deeply.
"No, no, no," I protested with the shake of my head.
"Well, since your obviously busy, I'll come back later..." Katsuya said, but Mahado-san stopped him.
"Actually, Mr. Jounouchi, I would like you to stay. Seems Mr. Mutou has the same problem as you, and maybe you can help him along."
Katsuya stared at me, then snorted.
"Him? Have my problem, fat chance of that."
"Mr. Mutou, why don't you tell Mr. Jounouchi your problem," Mahado- san said calmly.
I bowed my head as the words escaped my lips.
"I'm afraid I might becoming homosexual."
Katsuya stared at me.
"You ain't joking are you?" he asked.
"No."
"Then maybe we do have the same problem," he said and closed the door behind him and leaned against it. "But I swear, if any of what you hear gets out I swear I'll..."
"That will be enough," Mahado-san said firmly. "Mr. Jounouchi, can you please tell Yugi what your problem is?"
Katsuya only glared at me before replying.
"I have crush on a some guy and I'm trying to get myself back to girls again," he said, and blushed.
I chuckled lightly, but I think Katsuya took it the wrong way because he snarled at me.
"What's so funny!" he snapped.
I immediately stopped.
"I'm sorry, I meant no offense, its just that I was happy that we both have the exact same problem. Except...I kind of hurt the one I-think- I'm starting-to-like's feelings."
"Oh, tell me about him," Katsuya said.
I was surprised at how kind he was being.
Or maybe it was because there was a counsiler in here.
But there was no snarl or sneer on his face that he usually would have on for me even if there was supervision.
'Oh well, best grab this lucky chance.'
"Well...he's nice, cute, annoying, agressive and jumps to conclusions way to much," I murmured.
"I see we're getting along better," Mahado-san said happily. "Now, Jou," he said, dropping the formality. "you've been giving discription all this month but you never tell me who exactly he is. Can you do it now? Now that you have someone else that shares the same problem as you?"
Katsuya took a deep breath.
"If you tell I'll pummel you into a bloody pulp," Katsuya warned to me and I gulped. "His name is...Seto Kaiba."
My jaw dropped as I stared at him.
"Seto Kaiba!?" I blurted out. "You mean Mutou-kun's cousin!?"
Katsuya looked at me with narrowed eyes.
Well, so much for getting along.
"What do you know of him?" he asked, curiously, but with a slight deadly spice.
"Well, I know he likes to joke alot when he's with Mutou-kun. But I don't blame you for liking him. He really is a nice guy."
Katsuya blushed and a small smile touched his lips.
"Yeah, he is," he said a bit dazed, before shaking his head out of the clouds. "Okay now you."
I thought I was going to faint.
"..............."
"Well!"
"...........phami," I murmured.
"Sorry didn't catch that," Katsuya said as he cupped his ear.
"YAMI!" I shouted. "THAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU!"
Katsuya blinked dumbly, as I burst into tears, and felt the embrace of Mana.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up into Mahado-san's blue eyes.
"Its alright, Yugi," he said with a smile. "You don't need to cry."
"I'm sorry," I sniffed. "I'm acting like a three year old."
"Its quite alright," he reasured. "I've had people age forty who had worse water works then you. And trust me, I don't exagerate when I say water works."
I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yami."
I looked at Katsuya hesitantly, and flinched as I saw the livid look on his face.
"So you were the one Yami's been sulking over! You bastard!" he shouted. "Do you even know what you've done to him! He's been a wreck for the last two days!"
Now I was mad.
I stood up from the couch and comfronted him.
"You call me a bastard!" I shouted back. "He's the one who made a move on me when I wasn't even ready! And he's been a wreck!? I'm the one whose been crying my fucken eyes out all these passed two days! And I don't even know why I'm telling you this because you just don't have enough heart to understand me! No one understands me except for myself!"
(-^^- I admit, I do sound selfish, but that remark just didn't improve my bad mood)
"Then why don't you quit yapping and fucking tell me!" he shouted.
"No."
"Why not!?"
"Because its none of your damn business!"
I turned towards Mana and Mahado-san and bowed.
"Sorry for wasting your time and for the disturbance. I'll send you a check," I said and pushed passed Katsuya and left quickly out of the building.
I slowly trudged along the darkening street, walking under the lighted lamps and closed my eyes as a tear fell.
I felt guilty.
I shouldn't have yelled at Katsuya like that, and...I shouldn't have sounded so selfish.
Guilt gripped me and I squeezed my eyes shut as a tear slid passed my eye lash.
Honk! Honk!
"Hey kid watch out!" someone shouted and my head jerked up and I cried out as I saw a speeding truck coming my way and I couldn't move as the headlight blinded me.
Suddenly, I felt someone grab me and had the wind knocked out of me as we landed.
Spots popped here in there in my vision and a heard a fuzzy conversation of shouting.
"Crazy kids!"
"Well watch out next time you bastard!" came an answer and my head snapped up to see...Katsuya.
"You saved my life," I said, stunned, and he blushed as he looked away from me, pretending to brush himself off.
"Yeah well...it was nothing..." he said.
I smiled as I got up, but winced, and slumped back down.
"Eh...something wrong?" asked Katsuya.
"Ow, I think I hurt my ankle when we landed," I answered.
To my surprise, Katsuya gripped my arm and brought me up, and together we slowly made it back onto the street.
"So...why the big change Katsuya?" I asked.
"Hm? Oh!" he said and blushed as he looked away. "Well...in truth...uh...I thought you were a snot nosed bratty coward."
I stared at him.
"What?"
"Well...you always hung out with Anzu, and she is one of the most popular and pretty girls in the school, and you didn't seem to bother with anyone else. So I thought you didn't soicialize with people because you thought you were to good. But...you proved me wrong."
"When?" I asked.
"At the office. I can't explain it, but when I saw you there and how scared you looked at me well...I don't know...I just felt that I should be a little warmer."
I smiled.
"I'm glad. Sorry, if it seemed rude, I'm a bit shy and have a hard time making friends."
"That's what I realized when I saw you in the office. You seemed so scared and shy that I realized what type of person you are. I don't know if it was magic that allowed myself to open my eyes and take a look at you, or I was just to stubborn to take a look," he said.
"And we did seem to get on the wrong start when we first met, huh?" I asked, and he nodded.
"So we can start over," he said and stopped for a moment, extending his hand. "Hi, My name is Katsuya Jounochi, but call me Jou, will you be my friend?"
"I'm Yugi Mutou, and I'd be honored to be your considered your friend Jou."

Mijikai: (Looks at people) I know! I know! You probably want me to get to the part where Yami and Yugi confront each other again. But you'll have to wait till next chapter, sorry. And I can't predict the sooness. It depends if Mom will let me on the internet on a school night.
Yugi: Please review!
