Brave New World

The next week at Domino High was an interesting one. There was a heightened attitude in the school about the up coming dance, and a change occurred. The change occurred Monday morning before History. Yugi and his friends came in early as they usually did in hopes of getting a few rounds of Duel Monsters in.

" Yeah, can't wait for Friday, you guys!! The ladies will be all over me!!" Joey said as he walked into the classroom.

" Yeah, after they've pushed you over, you'll make the perfect dance floor!" Honda snickered at his friend.

Joey snarled. " Wanna say that again, tough guy?" He said as he put his fists up. Honda grinned evilly and took a battle stance."

" Bring it on…PUPPY!"

" DATS IT!!" Joey lunged at Honda, and the two began to fight.

" Great, here they go again." Anzu sighed, as she pulled Bakura out of the crossfire.

Yugi rolled his eyes and began to plead with his two friends to end their dispute.

" Come on guys, If the teacher sees you two fighting, you'll both get detentions!!" Bakura pleaded.

" Please. Don't stop them. I need a little entertainment this morning."

The five teens turned to see Seto Kaiba standing behind them.

Shit. Tell me that I did not just say that. Seto said as he mentally kicked himself on the head. He was supposed to be making friends, not ostracizing them.

:Well, if it a'int the all mighty Kaiba." Joey snarled.

Seto ignored the comment and strode past them into the classroom, where he took his seat in the desk behind Yugi's, and took out his book.. Yugi and his friends exchanged looks of surprise and then filed into the classroom. Joey approached Seto.

" Uhhh..Kaiba? Are you feelin' okay? I mean your sitting on our side of the room. Ya neva sit with us unless Yug begs ya too."

Seto looked up at the blond. He was irritated by Joey's comment. He was sitting with them, wasn't that supposed to make them happy? Before he could stop himself, his cynical attitude countered.

"Shut up, Puppy. I'm trying to enjoy a work of liturature. Do you even know what that is?"
Crap! WHY did I say that! Seto moaned inwardly, he probably just lost his chance again.

"Joey couldn't even spell 'liturature'!" Honda snickered.

" CAN SO!!" Joey snapped at his friend. Seto breathed a sigh of relife and turned back to his book, thankful that the attention was off of him, and now on Joey.

" Lessee…umm… L. I. T.R….no that's not it…L. I. T.E…No, no..dats not right either…"

"Class, take your seats" The teacher said as she walked into the room.

" L. I…."

"That means you too, Mr. Wheeler."

Joey turned a deep shade of red. " Sorry, 'mam!" and took his seat.

***

The morning hours went by unusualy fast for a Monday, and lunch had come quickly.

//What is Joey doing now, aboui?// a bemused Yami asked.

/Nothing much, he's trying to spell 'liturature.'/

// Ah. How long has this been going on?//

/ Oh, since this morning./

Yugi watched as Seto walked by.

"HEY KAIBA!" Yugi waved happily at the young CEO. Seto walked by with out even akknowleging Yugi.

"Well that was quite rude." Bakura said as he bit into an apple.

" You can't expect him to change over night." Anzu sighed.

"But he did sit with us during class." The white haried teen pointed out.

" He sat NEAR us…not WITH us."

" What's the difference?" exclaimed Bakura. Yugi just sat there and stared at Joey and Honda. Why was Kaiba being that way? Yugi sighed and began to play with his food.

"JOEY! Give it up already!" Honda said with a sneer. " You've proven that you can't spell it!"

" TAKE DAT BACK!" Joey said as he flicked a spoonful of peas at Honda. Honda lunged at the blond boy.

"Here they go again…." Bakura sighed.

***

The next few days, Seto did the same thing. He sat with them in every class. He was very mindful of his sharp tongue, and tried hard to repress the cynical and sarcastic comments that had become habit to him. One particular morning that week, the teacher was no where to be found. So the teens took the liberty to do whatever they wanted ( Seto of course sat and read). A morning without the teacher was a rare opportunity and they were planing to enjoy every minute of it.

//Yugi where is the teacher?// Yami asked in an annoyed tone.

/ I dunno, I think she's late. By the way you're up early./

// Well with all this racket…// Yami muttered irritably. Yugi smiled at his yami, and turned to speak with Seto. Even though he was sitting with them in class, Seto hadn't spoken much to them.

"Yes?" Seto said, actually looking up from his book.

"Set…I mean Kaiba, I think its cool that you're sitting with us." Yugi beamed at the taller boy.

" Umm..yeah it is kinda cool." He answered.

There was an awkward silence.

" You wanna come and sit with us at lunch?"

Seto looked back down at his book. " Umm…we'll see Yugi."

Yugi smiled, "Okay Kaiba." He turned and left to go visit with Anzu and Bakura.

Lunch? Great. Seto muttered to himself. He could tell that Yugi wanted him to join him and his friends, but the others…

Don't be intimidated by those sorry excuses for… Seto caught himself before he could finish the thought. Gotta stop thinking like that, unless I want to turn out to be like Gozaburo…..

" 'EY!!!! CUT IT OUT!!"

Joey's voice intterupted Seto's train of thought. Apparently the loud-mouth had managed to get into an argument with Duke Devlon's cheerleaders.

" GO CHOKE ON A BONE PUPPY!!" One of the cheerleaders sneered.

"AH'M NOT A DAWG!" Joey shouted back.

"YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU GO INTO YOUR DOG HOUSE!!" Another chimed in.

" I said, KNOCK IT OFF, ALREADY!!" Joey snarled as he clenched his fists. One the cheerleaders bopped Joey on the head with her pompom,

" BAD PUPPY!! YOU NEED A MUZZLE!!" She said.

"Why I otta…"

"PUPPY! PUPPY! JOEY IS A PUPPY!!" The three began to chant.

Enraged, Joey jumped at the cheerleaders, "YOU LOUSY!!.." Before he could get any further, Honda, Bakura, and Yugi managed to grab a hold of him.

"Lemme GO! I can take 'em" He said as he wriggled in his friends' grasp. The Cheerleaders laughed at this and began to chant louder. Joey growled and tried and to break through his friends' hold. Meanwhile, Anzu was throwing pens and pencils at the cheerleaders, but they effectively blocked the barrage of missiles with their pom-poms.

The whole class was now in an uproar. Some kids were supporting the cheerleaders by making barking noises, others were telling them to shut up. The last percentage took up Anzu's example and began throwing pens and pencils at Joey and the Cheerleaders.

"PUPPY, PUPPY!!" The chanting continued, and the noise in the classroom was getting louder and louder by the second.

"SHUT UP!" The whole class went silent. All eyes were on Seto Kaiba. They all stood rooted in their places as they stared up at the blue-eyed teen. Seto rarely spoke in class but when he did, everyone listened.

" You all are a bunch of immature asses." He said snarling at the kids who had been throwing pens and pencils. Anzu sheepishly his hers behind her back. Seto's cold eyes flew to the kids who had been supporting the cheerleaders.

" .. a bunch of sniveling, worthless bunch of sheep." The teens shrank under Seto's piercing gaze.

" And you three," He snarled at the cheerleaders, who were now clutching each other fearfully.

"I'm the only one who can call, Joey "puppy." There was a snicker, but Seto silenced it with a stare from his ice blue eyes. He turned back to the cheerleaders.

"Why don't you three sluts, do us all a favor and go jump off the bleachers and leave Joey alone."

The class remained transfixed by the taller teen. He glared at them all and then turned and walked away. The cheerleaders burst into tears ( ANIME WATERFALL TEARS!! ^^ ), and the class began to talking in an excited, but moderate tone so that they wouldn't summon Kaiba's wrath again. Seto went back to his seat, picked up his book, and resumed reading as if nothing had happened at all.

Joey stood with his jaw dropped. He was in a total state of shock.

" What-what Just 'appened?.."

Yugi stared at the silent form of Seto Kaiba.

" I dunno Joey, but I think he just stood up for you."

***

Seto walked down the hall towards the library, his haven. Lunch was next period, and he had to decide if her was going to eat with Yugi. He was split down the middles. One side of him wanted to go very badly. He had never eaten with anyone at lunch this year and he was curious. But he was going to be eating with Yugi, the only person who had beaten him at Duel Monsters. Everyone knew about that, and it was good ammunition to be used against him. But then again, he owed Yugi. Yugi had saved both his and Moukba's lives. Plus, no matter what Seto did or said to Yugi, the boy had always ready to receive Seto with open arms.

Seto sighed and put his head down on the carol. It was so confusing. Why was this taking so much effort?

I'm starting to crack. First I sit with Yugi, now I'm standing up for Joe. I'm getting weak… Seto shuddered, there was his damn arrogance again.

The rate I'm going, my pride and arrogance are going to be the only friends I have besides Mokuba.

"Kaiba?" Seto's blues snapped open.

" You sleepin'?"

Seto turned and looked at the figure behind him. It was Joey.

"What do you need?" Kaiba answered some what warily.

" Well, I just wanted to say…" Joey looked nervously down at the floor. "What I wanted to say was..uumm…"

"Feel free to finish your sentence anytime Joey." Shit, why did I say that? Outwardly Kaiba smirked, inwardly he was hitting his head against a wall.

"Hey! I'm tryin' here. Its just a little..uum…hard…for me.." Joey exclaimed as he awkwardly shifted his weight from one side to the other, and blushed sheepishly at the taller boy. Seto raised his eyebrow and then smirked.

"Okay here it goes. Take a deep breath. Yan can do dis.." Joey mumbled to himself.

"Joey….are you talking to me or to the voices…." Thankfully, Seto caught himself in time.

Don't want to screw this up.

Joey, however was oblivious that he had even spoken his thoughts out loud. He looked down at Seto, who was surprisingly waiting patiently for Joey to speak.

" Heh, sorry. I was just speakin' to da voices in my head." He grinned at the blue eyed teen.

Seto smirked, "That's what I thought."

"'EY!" Joey growled.

"May I remind you gentlemen that you are IN a library?" An irate librarian said leaning over her desk at them.

" Sorry." Both boys said with sheepish expressions.

"Anyway Kaiba, I just wanted to say 'thank you.' So… thanks for helping me out dis morning. I needed it." The last part was mumbled slightly, but Seto caught it.

"What was that last thing you said? I didn't catch it." Seto had no expression on his face but his eyes held a slight twinkle of mischief.

" Its not important Kaiba. Just fuggetaboutit." Joey said flashing his trademark grin.

"So anyways, ya hungry? 'Cause I'm famished."

"Joey?"
"Yeah?"

"Can you spell 'famished'?" Seto asked innocently.

"Sure I….aw no, I'm not fallin' for dat again." Joey laughed. Seto grinned back at the blond. Joey started walking away, but then turned.

" Ey! You coming or what?" he called back to Seto.

"Mr.WHEELER! LEAVE. NOW!" The librarian snapped.

"Yess'um. Right away!" Joey said as he snapped a salute to the librarian.

Seto couldn't keep a smile from escaping. He really envied Joey's ability to be cheerful no matter what the situation.

"Earth to Seto Kaiba! Ya coming? Joey asked impatiently. Seto looked to his book, then at Joey, and then back again at his book. Should he go?

He wants your company, go on…no if others see me with him…grrr.to hell what people think you want friends..don't you?

Seto stared once more at the book on the carol and then back at Joey. He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked up to Joey.

"Heh, took you long enough." Joey said with a grin.

Seto smirked back at him, and the two left for lunch.

To be continued….
