Chapter Dos: Spanish Lessons
The week had gone by so fast in the blink of an eye. But it was Saturday night, which was a good night for a certain dog-- I mean guy. Jounouchi was trying to hide a grin as he held a piece of paper in his right hand, looking for a certain house.
~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~
"Umm…Malice?" Jounouchi began to say, about to ask Malice something.
"Yes?" Malice asked.
"Well…it's just that…umm…I kind of…want to…learn that Spanish stuff." Jounouchi said, grinning.
"You want me to teach you Spanish?" Malice asked, her eyes widening a bit.
"Well…yeah." Jounouchi said, smiling.
"Okay! How about I teach you tonight?" Malice asked, very excited.
"Umm…sure, why not?" Jounouchi said, grinning again.
"Okay, let me give you my address." Malice said, taking a piece of paper and writing down her address to her Foreign Exchange house and giving it to Jou. (I watched the one episode of Dexter's Laboratory when Dexter was a foreign exchange student in Japan ^^) "I'll see you tonight at eight, okay?"
"Okay!" Jou said, taking the piece of paper and putting it in his pocket.
"Later then." Malice said, taking her backpack and heading out the classroom door.
~~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~~
"This is gonna be awesome! I hope it's not too hard." Jou muttered, sighing and sweat dropping at the thought of not being able to speak Spanish.
After about 10 minutes of trying to find the right house, Jou finally made it. The time was 8:10 PM.
"Uh-oh, I hope she didn't think I wouldn't show up." Jounouchi muttered, knocking on the door.
Malice opened the door, a sly smile on her face.
"Jou, you're ten minutes late!" Malice said, looking shocked.
Jounouchi fell over, and Malice laughed.
"Get up silly, I'm not mad. So come on in." Malice said, letting Jou come in the house.
Jounouchi grinned, got up and went inside Malice's 'house'.
Malice soon leads Jou to her room, where there was a Spanish 1 textbook lying on a desk. There was also a chair in front of the desk. Besides that, the bedroom was…big. On the left side of the room was a twin-sized bed with Duel Monster sheets, blanket, and pillows along with a stereo and alarm clock on a side table next to the bed. On the right side of the bedroom were two bookshelves full of books, a dresser, and a computer desk with a computer.
"Wow…" Jounouchi mumbled.
"Not everything is mine though." Malice said.
"What's all yours then?" Jou asked.
"Well, the book is mine, so is the stereo and the alarm clock. Plus a few books off the bookshelf, and all the clothes that are in the dresser." Malice said.
"Oh…okay" Jou said.
"But I also got some of these cool cards too." Malice said, grabbing a deck of Duel Monster cards out of her pocket. "I bought them at a shop the day before I came into class for the first time."
Jounouchi began to checkout what kind of cards Malice had. Malice saw that Jou had his eyes widened and his mouth was gaped.
"So…what do you think?" Malice asked, a tinted blush upon her face.
"…Awesome…" was the only thing Jou could say.
"So…shall we get started?" Jounouchi nodded. "Okay, first thing's first. Before we go into the text book, we're going to learn on pronouncing the alphabet, then counting in Spanish."
"All right, whateva ya say." Jou said, a slight grin on his face.
Malice handed Jou a sheet that had the alphabet, along with pronunciations, and the numbers.

"We'll learn the other numbers later. But for now, let's just practice this, okay?" Malice asked.
"Whateva ya say, Malice." Jou said.
"Okay, repeat after me: Ah"
"Ah"
"Bay"
"Bay"
"Say"

Malice and Jounouchi continued to pronounce the alphabet, then soon got to the numbers.
"Okay, say all of the numbers zero through ten in Spanish."
"Okay. Cero; uno; dos; tres; cuatro; cinco; seis; siete; ocho; nueve; diez. Did I say them right?" Jou asked.
Malice nodded. "Yep, you said them perfectly right." She said with a smile. "Now say eleven through twenty."
Jou nodded. "Once; doce; trece; catorce; quince; diez y seis; diez y siete; diez y ocho; diez y nueve; veinte."
"Excellent!" Malice was getting excited. "Now say twenty one through thirty." Malice placed her hand on Jounouchi's hand.
"Veinte y uno; veinte y dos; veinte y tres; veinte y cuatro; veinte y cinco; veinte y seis; veinte y siete; veinte y ocho; veinte y nueve; treinta." Jounouchi had just pronounced…thirty…thirty-one numbers…in Spanish.
"Yay!!!!!! You did it!" Malice shouted in excitement, hugging Jou.
"Hey, it was nothin' really." Jou said, sweat dropping a bit.
The Spanish lessons went on every night. Soon, Malice and Jou began a conversation.
"Buenas noches, señor." Malice greeted.
"Buenas noches, señora." Jounouchi also greeted.
"Me llamo Malice Diez. ¿Y tú? ¿Cómo te llamas?"
"Soy Katsuya Jounouchi."
"Encantada."
"Igualmente."
"¿Cómo estás?"
"Estoy bien, gracias. ¿Y tú?"
"Excelente."
"¿Cuántos años tienes?"
"Tengo diez y seis años. ¿Cuántos años tienes?"
"Tengo diez y seis años. ¿De dónde eres?"
"Soy de los Estados Unidos. ¿De dónde eres?"
"Soy de Japón"
"¿Qué te gusta?"
"¡Me gusta la comida! ¿Qué te gusta?"
"Me gusta la natación, la comida mexicana, la música de rap y la música rock."
"Wow…that was…so cool." Jounouchi said, slowly.
Malice nodded. "All those weeks of studying it finally paid of, right?"
"Yep, it sure did." Jou said, a grin on his face.
"We'll start on the second chapter next week, okay?" Malice asked.
"Next week? Why next week?" Jou asked.
"Well…I have some business to take care of. Yeah, business to take care of." Malice said, sweat dropping.
"Okay, whateva ya say. ¡Adiós Malice!" Jou said, leaving out her front door.
"¡Adiós Jounouchi!" Malice shouted out to him. After that, she let out a sigh of relief. "I don't want him to know what really am…" Malice muttered, going back up to her room.
