Author's Notes: Hello everyone. Welcome to the last chapter Wild Gang. ^^
I'm glad for all the reviews that everyone has left me, I really never
expected to get his far.
And now on to the reviews!
Angelkohaku: What do you mean 'icky'?! J/K. Yea, I thought of that after I posted it, but by that time I was to lazy to change it, and I really didn't want to. You ever have that feeling? Yes, I know Seto/Jou rocks. I have a story about that. Library Talks. Check it out if you want to. ^^ It's PG-13 like this one, and it has INSINUATED things it in, but I'm not really into writing yaoi or anything.
It's okay that you don't have anything to say. ^^ You will about this one though. It's a last chapter and it's not very good. *sighs*......
YAMIGIRL3: *picks up jaw off of desk* Don't break it there with shock. ^^ Yea, I decided to throw in that little twist there. ^^ With Bakura caring for Jou...well, he can't be all that bad, you know? I mean, he HAS actually shown himself capable of caring in the show, you know? You just have to look sometimes.
Ieyre: Yea, I though it was cute too. I really and truly do love this couple.
Calcifer: Yes, Mai was in a gang fight. But see, what I didn't say in there (and probably should have) was that she didn't find out about it until she went to the hospital. Strange, I know. ^^ As for the ages in this story, here they are.
Katsuya Jounouchi: 17 Yuugi Motou: 17 Hiroto Honda: 17 Anzu Mizaki ( I know I spelled her last name wrong. ^^): 17 Malik Ishtar: 18 Ryou Bakura: 17 Otogi: 17 Seto Kaiba: 17 Mokuba Kaiba: 12 Shizuka Kazumi/Jounouchi: 14 Setsuko: 16 Mai: 18 Yami: 3027 Bakura: 3031
I know I've left people out...but I can't remember them. ^^
Okay, I think that's it. ^^ Please TRY to enjoy this last chapter. I am aware that it is not the best (it's probably the worst) but if Iwere to put everything I wanted to...there would be no sequel. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"..........WHAT?!"
The reaction of the rest of the group's reaction was not one of the most expected reaction that people would have wanted for announcing a pregnancy. Mai sat up and wiped her tears away, a small blush appearing on her face.
Shizuka stared at the girl. "But you never....I mean you must have...but how...when..where...WHAT?!" She sputtered, leaving the blonde hair girl giggling. Nobody else had said anything after their cry of wonder. Shizuka looked down at her unconscious brother on the bed, then back to the young woman sitting next to her, a look of wonder on her face.
Mai's violet eyes rolled. "Oh stop it, Shizuka, it was....an accident. Remember that party he drug me to about....three months ago? Well, there was alcohol there, and your idiot brother started me drinking...and himself too. Well one thing led to another and I'm not saying anymore because I'm going to die of embarrassment if I do."
Bakura snorted, leaning back against the wall. "Good go, Jounouchi. Get yourself drunk and knock up a girl. And now, because of your own stupidity, you may die and never get to know this child. How stupid can you be?"
Yuugi looked up at him and then moved his eyes back to Jounouchi. "Be quiet, Bakura. We don't need to hear your remarks right now. What we need to worry about right now is Jounouchi's getting well. That baby's not going to come for another six months, we'll worry about it then." He sighed. Tears welled up in his violet eyes, and he lowered his head onto the bed, next to Jounouchi's hand. "Damn it Jounouchi! Why?!"
Yami looked down at his lighter half, lying a hand on his shoulder. "It's going to be okay, Yuugi. They'll both be fine..."

(Flashback/Dream)
Jounouchi sat, curled up in a ball, staring at the wall as he thought about his current position. He was fifteen years old, living in a warehouse, and the second-in-command of a gang. But where was his life really going? When all that a teenager boy lives for is fighting, fighting, more fighting, and occasionally stealing, where would his life go besides to jail?
He had been told the last time he was picked up by the police that if he was found or picked up one more time, they would stick him in jail for good. The blonde shuddered at the thought, not liking the idea of being stuck in a cell twenty four hours a day.
And did he even have anyone here who really cared? Sure, they respected his position of command, and they did what he said....but were they really friends? They had all made a pact a long time ago that they would die for one another if the opportunity arose, but only he had ran to Chris' aid when that gun shot had went off.
The blonde slowly rose, walking into the middle of the room, grabbing his bag. Inside of this bag, he had everything he had ever needed. Clothing, razors, deodorant, even condoms were all stuffed into this bag that he was supposedly using for school. His father, of course, was too drunk to even realize that his son was not attending school, and hadn't in almost a month. Slinging it over his shoulder, he made his way to the 'living room' of the warehouse, standing in the middle of it.
Hirutani made a small glance upwards, and then back to the girl who was sitting on his lap. "Where ya going, Jounouchi?"
"Home."
"When will you be back? We need you for tomorrow night. Big fight." He didn't even look up this time.
Jounouchi was silent for a moment, closing his eyes, praying for strength. "I'm not coming back, Hirutani. I quit."
No one moved as Hirutani's grey eyes met Jounouchi in a demanding gaze. "What do you mean, you're quitting?"
"I'm leaving the gang, Hirutani." Jounouchi said, his brown eyes flashing. "I"m sick of sitting here waiting for one of us to end up getting killed or thrown in jail or something of that sorts. I'm leaving Hirutani, and I'm not coming, back....not ever."
The gang leader stood, not even noticing that he threw Aiko off of his lap in the process. She gave him a harassed look, brushing the dirt off of her thigh high skirt. Hirutani drew himself up to his full height, almost a head taller than the blonde. "We had a deal, Jounouchi. Once you join this gang, you're in for life. You know the consequences of leaving. Are you prepared to deal with them?"
"If it will get me out of Hell, I sure will." Jounouchi said, dropping his bag and raising his fists. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the rest of the gang standing and surrounding him, reading for a fight. His eyes widened as he swore he saw a knife attached a belt of one of the members.
"Get him, guys."
Jounouchi hardly had time to duck before fists were flying everywhere, everyone of them aimed at him. He knew the results of leaving the gang; he had been the one to design them. You were tested when you entered, and you were tested when you left, both of them usually by beating. He swung back the best that he could, but one against eight guys didn't fare to well. He went under, his ears taking in Setsuko's screams for them to stop and the yelling of the other members. He closed his eyes and curled into a fetal position, praying this beating wouldn't do to much damage to vital parts.
"All right, all right! Lay off of him. I believe he's had enough." Hirutani said, snapping his fingers. "Everyone off of him. Jounouchi, get up."
The blonde drug himself up off of the ground, looking the purple haired boy straight in the eyes. Hirutani looked him over a moment, before grinning and socking Jounouchi straight in the gut. "If you want to leave, Jounouchi, go ahead. But remember; we never forget." He threw Jounouchi's bag at him, and pointed towards the door; a clear sign to get out and not to even think about coming back. Jounouchi threw his backpack over his shoulder, and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He ignored whispers as he passed by, making his way to the school. He had gone home, cleaned himself up as best he could, and decided this was the beginning of a new life. He wasn't going to be 'that gangster kid' that showed up at school once in a blue moon and left before noon when he did.
"Katsuya Jounouchi, is that really you?"
Jounouchi turned around to face the principal of the school. He smiled weakly as the older man looked down at him, shaking his head slightly. "Yes, Kazumi-san, it's really me. Amazing, is it not?"
Kazumi stared down at him, a smile grazing his face. "And how long do you plan to stay here this time? Should we start getting your homework together for the next month?" He ruffled the blonde's hair, following him as he made his way down the hall. Hearing the bell ring, he pulled Jounouchi back slightly, motioning for him to stay back. "Come with me, I want to talk with you."
The now ex-gangster followed him to his office, entering when Kazumi opened the door for him. "So, Jounouchi. Please explain to me why you have decided to grace us with your presence today."
"I quit."
Kazumi's black eyes went wide. "Really? I assume you mean the gang. You really walked on them?"
Jounouchi nodded, keeping his brown eyes directed towards the floor. "Yes, I walked on them. They didn't take kindly to it...." He opened his hands in an attempt to finish his sentence for him, showing the principal his battered body. "I'm starting back in school. If I stay at home, they'll kill me. I'm not really looking forward to dying just after I've turned fifteen...."
The principal nodded, writing something on a little note-pad. "I'll make a deal with you, Jounouchi. You are aware that at the rate that you have been going, you're not going to pass the ninth grade, don't you?"
He nodded, sighing. Repeating school was not something he was looking forward to either.
"If you manage to complete the rest of the year perfectly; no absences, unless you are sick or an emergency, turn in every bit of your homework, and enter a few extra credit classes....I will let you pass. But you must do all of these."
"I will. I swear."
Kazumi nodded, handing a entry slip to Jounouchi. "Give that to the teacher, she should let you into class. As for the extra credit, you're now involved in drama, choir, and yearbook. Have yourself a fun time, kid." He grinned as Jounouchi glared at him, ripping the slip from his hand. As Jounouchi walked out the door, he sighed and smiled. "Take care, Jounouchi....glad to have you back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Entering into class wasn't a hard task. Sure, everyone had given him a strange look, but how may times to do have a boy, who is well known for being a top person in a gang, come waltzing into class? The teacher had taken the slip, read it, nodded and told Jounouchi to find a place to sit.
The blonde had looked around, his good mood dashed when he saw the only seat was next to someone he really didn't want to sit next to; Hiroto Honda.
Sitting next to him, he gave him a look that clearly said 'Leave me alone'. Honda's eyebrow's raised and nodded, deciding it wasn't best to mess with the blonde haired boy.
Boy, life had changed for him.
(End of Flashback/Dream)
******************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All was quiet in the hospital room, no sounds besides that of the teen's heart monitors and the sound of their soft breathing. Shizuka had fallen asleep, her head lying on Jounouchi's bed, her hand entwined with Kaiba's, who was sitting next to her.
The only one awake in the room was little Yuugi, who was still teary eyed from earlier. Yami had done his best to comfort his little light, but gave up, long ago realizing that Yuugi was an emotional person, not afraid to cry whenever his emotions let him. Yuugi sighed, wondering why everything bad in the world seemed to fall into the lap of his friends.
He stared at Jounouchi's face and his heart sank. He had wanted so badly for his best friend to wake up before he started getting sleeping....but it seemed as though his wish wouldn't go through. He grabbed Jounouchi's hand and squeezed slightly for support before lying his head back down.....and then brining it back up in wonder.
The hand squeezed back.
His eyes widened as Jounouchi's fluttered slightly. "Jou...?" He whispered to the boy lying prone on the bed, wondering if the sleep had finally gone to his brain. But no! It wasn't just a figure of his imagination, Jounouchi's eyes WERE opening. He smiled as the moved around slightly, taking in their surroundings.
"Yuugi?"
Yuugi's heart leapt and he had to keep himself from bursting into tears from happiness. "Jounouchi!" He cried, though not loudly enough to wake the rest of the group. "You're okay! You're awake! .........Welcome back to the world of the living, buddy!"
Jounouchi's mouth curled up into a small smile, squeezing Yuugi's hand, glad he had his friends there to help him out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next few weeks passed by slowly, none of them doing much in order to let Jounouchi recuperate. Setsuko had also come out of her coma as well, but was still having to stay in the hospital, due to many surgeries she would need in the next few weeks. Her right leg was badly damaged, and even though they had managed to repair it, she would always walk with a limp.
In the weeks following the fight, they had made their own gang, for protection purposes only. Jounouchi made sure of that, explaining that he had enough on his record for all of them. It was more of a club, though Bakura continued to call them a gang, explaining it was more 'cool'.
Hirutani hadn't been caught, but the word off the street was that he was in the hospital. "Lung trouble," Jounouchi had explained, grinning from ear to ear. "It doesn't surprise me any....he smoked five packs a day. "
Mai giggled and took a deep breath. "Jounouchi....can I talk to you for a moment?"
The blonde boy stared at her or a moment and nodded, following the older girl to the back room, wondering what was going on. "What's the matter Mai?" he asked, confused. "Is something wrong?"
"Well....no." Mai said, looking at her feet. "It depends on how you take it. You remember a couple of months ago....when you drug me to that party?"
Jounouchi grinned, a memory coming back to him. "Yup. I--" He stopped as he saw her face go livid, and the blonde decided it wouldn't be a good idea to make her angry when she was about to tell him something important. "Yes, Mai. I remember that night. It's a little hard not to. Why do you ask?"
Mai stared at the floor, for the first time afraid to talk to the blonde haired boy. "Because....well...um..."
"Will you just TELL me?!"
Mai rolled her purple eyes, and glared at Jounouchi. "I'm pregnant you jackass!" she yelled, stomping her foot. "Obviously not like you care! I'm sorry I bothered you!" She turned on her heel, ready to stomp away.
"You're........you're what?!"
She turned back around, staring him in the eyes. "I'm pregnant. You heard me perfectly clear, Jounouchi, don't act like you didn't."
The brown-eyed boy stood there, blubbering. He lifted his eyes to met hers, a look of wonder crossing his face. Mai giggled as she realized how cute the boy actually looked when he was confused. She made a mental note to confuse him more often. But as soon as she thought this, the look was gone, a serious one replacing it.
"Do you seriously think that I don't care?" He asked quietly, taking her hands in his. "I care, Mai. That's my kid." He grinned and his face faulted again. "But....Mai, I don't have any money. How are we going to do this? I mean, I can help support you, but.... Mai, I'm poor. Are you SURE you want me to help you?
"Are you trying to get out of this?"
Jounouchi shook his head, gripping her hands tighter. "No, I'm not trying to get out of this. I just.....why would you want to be with someone who has nothing when you have everything?"
Both were silent for a moment before a tiny cry came from Mai. "Katsuya Jounouchi you IDIOT! Do you seriously think I care about that?! I don't, okay? And neither will this baby." She smiled. "Now come on....let's go catch up with the rest of them."
Jounouchi followed the blonde haired girl, grinning from behind her. Life certainly had blessed him. He had friends that he now knew would die for him, he had a baby on the way, and to the best thing was; he was alive.
Boy....life had changed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, peeps....There is the end of Wild Gang. I know the ending was stupid, and probably unrealistic, but I'm sick (bronchitis...I can't breath very well -_-)and I kind of ran out of idea's. Thank you all for your reviews.
There will be a sequel to this, but I'm also going to be a prequel to this too. When you review (if you even WANT one) please tell me which you would like first. ^^ As I said before, I'm sorry for the crappy ending. '
Thanks!!
And now on to the reviews!
Angelkohaku: What do you mean 'icky'?! J/K. Yea, I thought of that after I posted it, but by that time I was to lazy to change it, and I really didn't want to. You ever have that feeling? Yes, I know Seto/Jou rocks. I have a story about that. Library Talks. Check it out if you want to. ^^ It's PG-13 like this one, and it has INSINUATED things it in, but I'm not really into writing yaoi or anything.
It's okay that you don't have anything to say. ^^ You will about this one though. It's a last chapter and it's not very good. *sighs*......
YAMIGIRL3: *picks up jaw off of desk* Don't break it there with shock. ^^ Yea, I decided to throw in that little twist there. ^^ With Bakura caring for Jou...well, he can't be all that bad, you know? I mean, he HAS actually shown himself capable of caring in the show, you know? You just have to look sometimes.
Ieyre: Yea, I though it was cute too. I really and truly do love this couple.
Calcifer: Yes, Mai was in a gang fight. But see, what I didn't say in there (and probably should have) was that she didn't find out about it until she went to the hospital. Strange, I know. ^^ As for the ages in this story, here they are.

The principal nodded, writing something on a little note-pad. "I'll make a deal with you, Jounouchi. You are aware that at the rate that you have been going, you're not going to pass the ninth grade, don't you?"
He nodded, sighing. Repeating school was not something he was looking forward to either.
"If you manage to complete the rest of the year perfectly; no absences, unless you are sick or an emergency, turn in every bit of your homework, and enter a few extra credit classes....I will let you pass. But you must do all of these."
"I will. I swear."
Kazumi nodded, handing a entry slip to Jounouchi. "Give that to the teacher, she should let you into class. As for the extra credit, you're now involved in drama, choir, and yearbook.

Jounouchi grinned, a memory coming back to him. "Yup. I--" He stopped as he saw her face go livid, and the blonde decided it wouldn't be a good idea to make her angry when she was about to tell him something important. "Yes, Mai. I remember that night. It's a little hard not to. Why do you ask?"
Mai stared at the floor, for the first time afraid to talk to the blonde haired boy. "Because....well...um..."
"Will you just TELL me?!"
Mai rolled her purple eyes, and glared at Jounouchi. "I'm pregnant you jackass!" she yelled, stomping her foot. "Obviously not like you care! I'm sorry I bothered you!" She turned on her heel, ready to stomp away.
"You're........you're what?!"
She turned back around, staring him in the eyes. "I'm pregnant. You heard me perfectly clear, Jounouchi, don't act like you didn't."
The brown-eyed boy stood there, blubbering. He lifted his eyes to met hers, a look of wonder crossing his face. Mai giggled as she realized how cute the boy actually looked when he was confused. She made a mental note to confuse him more often. But as soon as she thought this, the look was gone, a serious one replacing it.
"Do you seriously think that I don't care?" He asked quietly, taking her hands in his. "I care, Mai. That's my kid." He grinned and his face faulted again. "But....Mai, I don't have any money. How are we going to do this? I mean, I can help support you, but.... Mai, I'm poor. Are you SURE you want me to help you?
"Are you trying to get out of this?"
Jounouchi shook his head, gripping her hands tighter. "No, I'm not trying to get out of this. I just.....why would you want to be with someone who has nothing when you have everything?"
Both were silent for a moment before a tiny cry came from Mai. "Katsuya Jounouchi you IDIOT! Do you seriously think I care about that?! I don't, okay? And neither will this baby." She smiled. "Now come on....let's go catch up with the rest of them."
Jounouchi followed the blonde haired girl, grinning from behind her. Life certainly had blessed him. He had friends that he now knew would die for him, he had a baby on the way, and to the best thing was; he was alive.
Boy....life had changed.

Okay, peeps....There is the end of Wild Gang. I know the ending was stupid, and probably unrealistic, but I'm sick (bronchitis...I can't breath very well -_-)and I kind of ran out of idea's. Thank you all for your reviews.
There will be a sequel to this, but I'm also going to be a prequel to this too. When you review (if you even WANT one) please tell me which you would like first. ^^ As I said before, I'm sorry for the crappy ending. '
Thanks!!
