Yugi stopped dead still on the stairs as he heard some movement down below. Jou and Honda should have gone home by now, but there they were, cleaning up! Doing his job! He turned, but was halted by a voice, that HAD to be Jou.
"Hey! Who are you, and what are you doing in Yugi's house!"
Had he changed that much? He turned, and heard a gasp from both Honda and Jou. Jou looked the more shocked of the two as he commented,
"Yugi! You look. Different."
"No shit, Sherlock." Yugi snapped back at him.
Jou looked at his once best friend curiously. The Yugi he knew never snapped. Who was this guy and what did he do with Yugi? He looked closer at his little buddy, and noted that his hair was tangled and unkempt and the only part of him that seemed clean was his hands, though they were heavily bandaged. His once joyous eyes were now black pits of despair, and he looked a little unhealthy, like someone who hadn't been in the sun for weeks. Scrap that, months. It made sense though, when was the last time that Jou had seen the boy? Before Gramps' death, that was for sure. He hadn't really thought about it that much. He didn't really think about anything, if he could help it that is. He just knew that he came in at the start of the day, and left at the end, money in hand on Fridays. He guessed he'd wondered at the start why Yugi hadn't been coming out to greet them, but he guessed it was because he needed time to mourn. It never occurred to him that 6 months was just a LITTLE too long to mourn.
"What are you two still doing here?"
"Cleaning up." Honda commented beside him, wincing slightly at Yugi's tone.
"That's my job." Yugi almost snarled.
"Yeah, but we thought we'd surprise you, you know?" Jou almost snapped at the boy, controlling himself at the last minute, so what came out sounded pretty pathetic. He cast worried eyes over Yugi's frame, naturally small, but now it seemed even thinner and more diminished than usual. "Anyways, what have you been doing to yourself little buddy?"
"Don't call me little." Ooookaaaay. It seemed Yugi had been taking lessons from the Tomb Robber in Bad Assed-ness. "What's it to you anyway?"
Jou raised an eyebrow. "Nothin', just wondering is all; after all, I thought we were friends."
"Thought is right. Tell Yami that he can make his own dinner tonight, I'm going to bed."
Honda's eyebrow joined Jou's in rising at that moment. "Why can't you tell him yourself? And I don't like your tone Motou." He scowled.
A ghost of a smile danced upon Yugi's sunken features, making him look even scarier than before. "I can't. No more mind link." He tapped his head in emphasis of this, before disappearing back up the stairs. Jou and Honda exchanged bewildered glances, before running up the stairs after Yugi. Honda to hit him, preferably hard, Jou to try and find out what was wrong with his. well, the person who he had once thought of as friend. Jou reached Yugi's room first, and started banging upon the door, demanding that Yugi come out to see him, and explain just what was up. Honda was close behind him, muttering about his employer in what appeared a very disrespectful way. This caused Jou to hit him, hard. "What the hell do you think you're playing at Honda? Yug's in there, in trouble and you just mutter about him as if he's your employer?"
"Well, it's obvious that the little runt doesn't want our friendship anymore Jounouchi, If he did, he wouldn't have been so quick to get snappy with us! I say we bash the runt and be done with it."
"So much for friendship, eh? Honda? After all we've been through, all he's done for us, that's it? See ya later bad ass?" Jou scowled and spat that sentence. Honda hi him. Dizzied and the side of his face hurting from the impact, Jou scowled once more. "Fine then, if that's the way you want to be Honda, but look, Yug's our FRIEND. Something's WRONG. And I aint gonna let him get away with not telling us what's bothering him."
"He's really going to tell you, isn't he?" Honda replied, the sarcasm literally dripping off his voice. "Well, here's something to tell you Boss," He commented thorough the door, sarcasm replaced with venom, "I QUIT!"
Jou stared in wonder at his friend's retreating back, then followed him in an attempt to get him to cool down.
Yugi heard all this, of course. After all, he had only been on the other side of the door. He heard Honda threaten to beat the crap out of him, but really, he couldn't care less. If they wanted to be that way, so be it. What he did care about was that his so called friends had turned on him, and even Jou, who'd try to defend him, was probably hurt by what he'd said. He hadn't meant to say those things, but he saw them, looking happy, not feeling what he couldn't feel, sadness, and this seemed to feed a new, raw emotion in him, hate. It was scary, what Jou had said to Honda, the "see ya later Bad Ass" comment. There was really only one person that Jou called a bad ass was. Yami Bakura. Had he really sounded that bad? He felt tears forming at the corner of his eyes. He'd lost one friend, without even meaning to. He couldn't afford to loose the rest, if he hadn't already. He buried his tear streaked face in his pillow and cried himself to sleep.
