FYI: This is my first yu-gi-oh fic, so it's kinda crappy and weird at first, but oh well, I will try to improve this on the later chapters. I'm kinda putting it on R, because of the fact that I'll put on swearing on this. A lot. +.+;; Anyway, I really, really need reviews and Please! If yeh wanna flame me....do it the nice way, and don't flame me to death...-.-;;

Seto: yeah, yeah...now what?

Jou: I hate this. Oh, and Yuzi...

Yuzi-chan: What??? ^^

Seto & Jou: Why us????? =.=

Yuzi-chan: You're too kawaii. ^-^

To Ruriko, ugh... sorry if Bakura's a big weirdo jerk on my review for you, he's on a sugar-high. I kicked his ass to make his mind to go to reality bytes after I send in my review. He's cute, but hey, he can be terrible.

Chapter 1

The sun shines brightly on a Tuesday morning in the Katsuya residence. And Jou, short for Jounouchi, wakes up alone every morning since last month like this. Her sister, Serenity went to France to study. Her scholarship was approved and although she doesn't want to leave her brother alone, Jou insisted Serenity to study abroad. She promised her brother that she'll send money every month to cope with the bills in the house, and also his needs.

Jou sat on the bed, rubbing his honey-colored eyes and yawns.

"Sheeesssh." He scratched his head, and then he looked out of the window.

"Too bright."

He looked at his alarm clock. 7:30 a.m.

"Oh well. I'd better shower."

He went out of the bed and went to the shower area of the bathroom. He removed his pajamas and boxers, and then he stepped on the shower. He set the temperature setting to warm; he always liked warm water to his body when in a shower.

He turned around to get his shower gel when someone opened the shower door. He turned around again and glared his honey-colored eyes on the intruder, when he realized the intruder, a tall, naked guy with brown hair and flaring cerulean eyes staring at him.

"Seto Kaiba?!"

Jou blinked, wiped his brown eyes one more time, and Seto was gone.

"Shitty." He grabbed his shower gel and started scrubbing his body. "I'm seeing things again. Good thing THAT isn't true and if it does, I'll die here, for sure."

After five more minutes in the shower, he went out and went to the sink to brush his teeth. Then, he went out of the bathroom and went to his wardrobe, grabbing his underwear, a pair of black jeans with a silver chain on one of its sides and a blue polo shirt. After dressing, he grabbed his bag and went downstairs to get his sandwich he prepared the night before. Then, he went out of his house, locking the door and putting his key on his pocket.

He looked at his wristwatch. 7:45 a.m. 15 minutes more and he'll be late for school. He grabbed his rollerblades and dashed off to school.

-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

Yugi went inside the classroom of Domino High. "Ohayo, Minna-san"

"Ohayo, Yugi!"

The tri-colored hair guy went to his desk when he noticed that the desk behind him was empty.

"He'll be late...again." Ryou said back while fixing his snowy-white hair, noticing that Yugi is looking at Jou's desk.

Honda interrupted. "Hey, Yugi!"

Yugi looked up. "What?"

"Wanna go to my place after school?"

The tri-colored hair guy lit up his amethyst orbs smiled in excitement. "Sure. But, how 'bout the others?"

Bakura butted in. "We're all invited. Now, we're just waiting for Jou's decision."

-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

"Ahhhhh!!!! Shitty!!!!"

Jou crashed at the school stairs when he was going too fast. Because of that, it left a 3-inch wound on his left arm, crimson blood flowing out. Thank God his legs weren't affected.

"Hell yeah. What a wound to start the day." The blonde then took off his rollerblades and put on a pair of silvery blue sneakers he just bought about a week ago. He put those on, and went to the classroom on the third floor.

He was running around the stairs when he accidentally bumped against a person on the third floor. Good thing it was the school nurse going to the third floor station.

"Sorry, Ma'am." Jou apologized for bumping her. "Um, can I have a request?"

The nurse smiled at him, and then gave a bandage at the sight of his wound.

"Here's your bandage."

The blonde raised an eyebrow, but thanked the nurse anyway. "Thanks, Ma'am"

Jou looked at his silver wristwatch. 7:55 a.m. "Shitty!!! Better injured than late!!!!"

A very familiar voice spoke behind him. "Wrong sentence, puppy. Better late than never."

Jou stopped walking. He recognized the voice behind him. That sarcastic voice...and there is only one person who calls him 'puppy'.

"Kaiba, buzz off!!!" Jou said, never looking back at his archenemy. He ran again, going into his classroom.

The CEO shrugged and shook his head. "What a baka." He entered the room a few minutes later than Jou.

-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

The blonde entered the room, heavily breathing. "O.. hayo!!!!"

"Yo, Jou! Good thing you're here already!!!" Honda signaled a thumbs-up to Jou, but noticed his friend was too tired to even listen to him.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Jou calmed down a bit, trying to speak. "Nothin'. I ran away recently for some reason."

"Ran away?!!!" Ryou scratched his head. "Aw, Man!!! Not another cop chase, Jou!!!"

"Whatever. Just some weirdo guy got me startled." He went to his desk, and sighed in exhaustion.

"But hey, what's with the wound on your left arm?" Yami asked, raising his eyebrows, pointing at the wound.

Jou remembered. He forgot to put on the bandage. "That? Um, I crashed on the school stairs earlier...when I was dashing..." He grabbed the bandage, wrapping it on his arm when Yugi stopped him.

"HOLD THAT BANDAGE!!!" Just then, He grabbed a bottle of alcohol from his desk compartment. "Clean it first. You probably know what infections might do to you...but then again, leave it alone if you wanna die."

"Fine, Yugi." Jou poured some alcohol on his wound, eyes closed, hissing at the sudden sting of the wound reacting with the alcohol. The blood on his arm gradually slows down its flow.

The CEO noticed a commotion very near on his desk. He saw Yugi was talking to Jou, handing the blonde with a bottle of alcohol. Out of the blue, He went to his seatmate's desk, looking at what he was doing because he was hissing. He glanced up at the wound in the left arm, and shook his head.

"We don't need snakes here, puppy. Snakes belong in the zoo." He said in a sarcastic voice. He grabbed Jou's arm, all of a sudden, and instantly wrapping it with the bandage. This made the blonde confused on what his archenemy is doing.

"It's done, puppy."

Jou hissed in disgust on how he was called. "Never call me puppy. But, thanks, anyway."

"Why not?" the CEO smirked at him. "It sounds cute to you when I call you like that."

The blonde blinked. Seto called him cute? Impossible. "What???"

Seto went to his desk. "Nothing, puppy. You're just plain deaf."

"Shitty. Goddamn it." Jou still fells the pain, but not as bad as when he crashed in the stairs. Thank God he has the bandage and Yugi's alcohol. He put his bag beside his chair and beginning to rummage his compartment for today's first period.

Meanwhile, their Trigonometry professor, Mr. Tidogi went in. bad luck for Jou, he dreaded Trigonometry since the first semester.

"Ohayo, 4-S!"

"Ohayo, Tidogi-sensei!"

Jou groaned. He forgotten it was Tuesday, and their first class is Trigonometry. Bad luck.

"Damnit. I forgot the book at home." He scratched his head again, but then again, out of the blue, Seto tossed a book to him. He was able to catch it before their professor caught him. He identified it as his Trigonometry book, thank you. He opened it, and saw a note:

Wrong again, puppy. I found your book in my compartment. You're too dumb to differ my desk from yours. Anyway, I have nothing to do with it, so I'm returning it to you. Anyway, I would pass Trigonometry, for sure. I know you dread this subject. Hope you pass it, puppy. And mind if you fix your hair sooner.

Seto

He looked at Seto's direction and remembered what happened to him in the shower earlier this morning. Something was really bothering him...why this was happening to him??? Is it the stress when he misses his sister a bit too much? Is it the stress he got from the schoolworks? What the heck in the name of Ra is the cause?

Then again, he forgot his comb at home and forgot to fix his hair...

"AAAAAHHHHH, NOOOO!!!!" he shouted so loud, banging his head in the desk in confusion, bringing attention of the whole class, and even the slight-deaf, slight-blind professor, Mr. Tidogi.

"Katsuya Jounouchi?" he removed his eyeglasses, looking curiously at the confused Jou.

"Anything wrong?"

Jou turned bright, cherry red. Not another dose of embarrassment thingy...!

"Tidogi-sensei, I'm fine."

Yugi turned his head back with one of his eyebrows raised, amethyst eyes looking at the blushing Jou.

"You're thinking out loud again..."

Jou looked towards the window of Domino High, still blushing. "Hell yeah..."



Yuzi-chan: Wait...Jou's not eating breakfast? Weird. Hey, you're on a diet? I thought you were a never-ending eating machine???

Jou: Hell, yeah. Anyway, remember the sandwich? It has three layers, though. I can't wait for recess!!!

Yuzi-chan: Okay...+.+;;

Jou: But heck, do I really think THAT loud???

Seto: Over and above, puppy. -_-

Jou: never call me puppy. I'm a human. And how come my book was in your compartment???

Seto: No idea. You're just too stupid enough, puppy.

Yuzi-chan: oh yeah. Whatever. Ne, Minna-san, review!!! ^-^;; Sorry for having a crap of the first chapter.

(hiding from a bunch of flamers in the horizon...)

I really need the characters to blew up their minds and swear over and above just to make this a true-blue R. (Wazzit?) Tell me what ya think. ^___^
