Katsuya 1/2
Author: Ozark the MoonHead.
**********************
To answer to a reviewer, 'Katsuya' is Jounouchi's first name, and his last name is 'Jounouchi'. I know what your manga says, but this is true. In Eurasia, specifically Japan, they go by last names first in formalities. In Jou's case, he prefers his last name, 'Jounouchi', or the abbreviation, 'Jou'. But that's just what I know, so dun be angry with me!! Onegai??
Okies, I'm going to be taking a vote here.
QUESTION: WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN??
Your options:
1. Katsu ends up *ahem* pregnant with Kaiba's child [*Note* Usually, this would cause the cursed victim to remain in that form permanently. But…this isn't exactly the manga…so I'm not sure whether I'd keep him a girl.]
2. Katsu gets attacked, and winds up thinking she was raped, when she actually wasn't. (I dunno if this is even WORTH putting in…)
3. All of the above.
Saa, all your votes WILL be needed, okies? If there's not enough, then I'll just let my crazy mind run wild. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-*Cough hack*-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Chapter Seven: Aw!! Lookie the Kawaii Lil' Kitty!
**********************************
"Rise and shine, Onichan!" Shizuka smiled, shaking Jou from his slumber. Jou mumbled, blinking his eyes open.
"Nrmn…" He grumbled, rolling over. Shizuka giggled, pulling off his covers. Jou shivered, his brow furrowing. "I'm up, I'm up!" he growled, dragging himself into a sitting position. Shizuka laughed.
"About time. You only have forty minuets before school starts." That got Jou moving.
"Kuso! Why didn't you tell me earlier??" He cried, trying to pull his pants on as he hopped on one foot. Shizuka rolled her eyes.
"I woke you up two hours ago, remember?" Jou grinned sheepishly.
"No." Shizuka pressed her hand to her head with a sigh.
"My brother…" She mumbled. Jou pulled his shirt over his head as he grabbed his jacket.
"Yeah, well, at least I'm your brother, not sister." He grinned, fumbling with his shocks. Shizuka just sighed. "Thanks for the wake-up call!" Jou called as he dashed out the door.
"Onichan!! You forgot your homework!!" Shizuka called after him.
*******************
"Hey Yuge!" Jou called, waving as he made it into the classroom just before the bell rang. Yuugi grinned, rushing over to tackle him with a hug.
"Where've you been, Jou-kun??" He asked. "You weren't at school at all last week!" Jou grinned, rubbing the back of his head.
"Gomen… I just got back from China yesterday." He said. It wasn't a lie. He DID come back yesterday. Yuugi released him.
"For that long though?" Honda asked as he quirked an eyebrow. Jou frowned.
"Yes, for that long. Geez, you act like I died or somethin'!" He let out an exasperated sigh, sitting down in his seat. Anzu looked at him from her desk, her head rested on the heel of her hand.
"Can you blame us? You didn't even call or anything!" Jou sweatdropped.
"Erm…calling from China isn't exactly cheap, an' I didn' wanna get ya stuck with those postage fees…" He admitted, having thought of that excuse on the way to school.
"Oh how noble." Kaiba rolled his eyes from his desk. Jou growled, turning to glare at him.
"An' like yer a saint, Kaiba." He snapped. Kaiba smirked.
"I'm surprised I didn't see you in China. I believe you were visiting the very spot I was." He said coolly. Jou flushed, glaring.
'Yeah, well I saw you plenty of times…' He thought with a silent smirk. Jou shrugged.
"Maybe it was 'cause you had your grabby hands all over some girl." He smirked. Kaiba's gaze narrowed as the group's eyes turned to him.
"And how exactly did you know I had a guest with me?" He asked. Jou just smirked.
"A little birdie told me." Kaiba sent him one last glare, before turning away. Jou stuck out his tongue. "Hentaisha…" He muttered. Yuugi blinked.
(*Pervert*)
"How did you know Kaiba took Katsu to China?" He asked. Jou blinked. He'd forgotten that Yuugi and the others had been listening.
"Eh heh heh…um, I kinda saw them while I was there." He quickly lied.
"Hey, speaking of which, where is she?" Anzu asked. "I didn't see her when school started." She said. Jou looked to the side. If he had anything to say about it, Katsu wouldn't make another appearance any time soon.
"Hey, Kaiba, do you know where she is?" Ryou asked. Kaiba only glared.
"No. She declined my offer for a ride home, and left the airport herself." He said coldly. Jou almost yelled it was because he was being such a jerk, but that would bring up more questions, some of which he didn't particularly want to answer.
"Hey, who's Katsu, anyways?" Jou asked, playing the part of the oblivious blonde. Yuugi looked over.
"Most likely the girl with Kaiba you saw in China. She kinda looks like you, only her hair is red, longer, and she wears Chinese clothes." He said. "She has the same last name as you, too. Do you know her?" He asked. Jou swallowed.
"Um…" Honda's eyes widened.
"Are you dating her?!" He cried, grabbing Jou by the front of his shirt. Jou blinked, before growling.
"No!!" He snapped. How could he date himself?!?!? "I-I've never really even met her!" Honda raised an eyebrow.
"'Never really met her'?" Jou flushed.
"Erm…" Jou mumbled. 'Ohshitohshitohshit…' Honda's gaze was very scary right then.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked, the evil glint of jealously shining in his eyes. (A/N: Scary!!!) Jou swallowed.
"Uh…what I mean is…um…" Kaiba cast a glance over at the stuttering blonde. His ramblings were annoying, but somewhat familiar… "I…I met her when…when I was walking home with Shizuka! Yeah!" he lied. "Uh…she didn't really say much, so I didn' really meet her." He sweatdropped as Honda inspected him.
"Nothing else?" He asked suspiciously.
"I didn't think someone as stupid as yourself would be so jealous over a girl who clearly isn't interested in you." Kaiba smirked cruelly. Honda released Jou, glaring.
"And she would like you?" He growled. Kaiba match his glare, intensifying it ten-fold
"I wouldn't talk like that If I were you." He said coolly. Honda growled, gritting his teeth.
"Geez, Kaiba, what's up your ass today?" Jou glared, angry with him for both implying Honda was stupid, and for EVER implying that she -might- like him. Kaiba switched his glare to the blonde.
"Shut up puppy." He warned. Jou growled angrily, a flush finding his face.
"Bakayaro!" He snapped. Kaiba blinked, the blonde's expression matching that of Katsu's when she said the very same thing. Jou's glare softened when he saw the distant expression on Kaiba's face. "What?" he snapped. Kaiba just glared again.
"Nothing, mutt." He growled, turning away. Jou huffed.
"Jerk…" He muttered. "He's even more an ass than usual." He scowled. Ryou blinked.
"You don't suppose something happened to him while he was with Katsu, do you?' he asked. Jou rolled his eyes.
"Feh. I wouldn't care, even if he had." He said, just as the teacher walked in to take attendance. But inwardly, he did wonder. 'What's wrong with him…?'
**********************
"Okay people! Let's line up so we can start!" The track teacher yelled as she blew her whistle. Everyone jogged over. Jou, Yuugi, and Ryou were the only ones they really knew each other in that class, save Kaiba, who didn't usually come to gym. Today, however, he was there.
Each was dressed in the school gym uniform, consisting of an orange, sleeveless T-shirt, and navy blue shorts. Other than that, they wore socks and shoes, possibly a wristband or two.
"Right. So basically, all you're going to do is run a few warm-up laps around the track field before we start our swimming unit, alright? Since the other B block class has the inside gym pool, we'll use this one." She stated. Jou felt his heart sink into his stomach at those words.
"S-swimming?" He squeaked. Kaiba smirked.
"What's that matter pup? Can't swim?" He jeered. Jou growled.
"Ya know, this is one day I preferred you to skip gym." He growled, taking his starting place. Kaiba followed suit.
"Too bad." He smirked. The teacher blew her whistle, and they began running. Kaiba easily pulled ahead of everyone else, with his longer legs and athletically acute body. Yuugi and Ryou were near the end with the others in the class, since Yuugi was short and Ryou wasn't all that athletic. Jou, however, followed right behind Kaiba as he ran, barely two feet behind.
"Ya know, now I know why Katsu slapped ya." Jou smirked as he pulled up beside him, taking easy strides. Kaiba looked over, glaring.
"Oh?"
"Yeah." Jou smirked. "Ya have the social skills of a dead moose." He said. Kaiba took a swing at him with his fist, but Jou ducked with a laugh. "Ooh! The almighty Kaiba getting angry…" He teased. Kaiba kindly stuck his foot out in front of Jou, effectively tripping him with a sneer.
"Aw, poor puppy. He can't even run properly." He smirked, dashing off. Jou flushed, pulling himself off the ground and storming after him.
"YOU JERK!!!" He yelled, chasing after the laughing brunette. "When I catch you I'm gonna wipe that cocky smirk from your face!!!" He yelled angrily. Kaiba frowned at the promise. 'Just like that girl…' He mused. Kaiba slowed to a stop at the end of the track, glancing back at the panting blonde as he ran up. "You-" He stopped shot when Kaiba's eyes flashed; a warning.
"I suggest you stop acting like a child, Jounouchi." He said coolly. "You're starting to act just like that Katsu girl." He whispered into his ear. Jou froze, a silent gasp leaving his lips. Kaiba smirked, walking over to the bleachers and sitting down, pleased with the shocked/stunned expression on the blonde's face as he blushed.
"Okay, enough fooling around people. Change into your suits, and meet me by the pool. The water's nice an cold, so you don't need to worry about the heat." She said. Jou gulped, picking up his gym bag.
"S-sensei…ah…can I not swim…?" He asked. She blinked.
"Any particular reason?" She asked. Jou rubbed the back of his head.
"Ah hah hah…um…y'see…" The teacher frowned.
"If you don't have a note from a parent, or from a doctor, then you have no choice, Mr. Jounouchi." She said, leaving him to walk over to the floor.
"What's so bad about a little water, hmm?" Kaiba asked with a smirk. Though he'd never admit it, he didn't want to go anywhere near the pool either, for his own reasons.
"…" Jou remained silent as he glared at the CEO. "I jus' don' like cold water, okay??" He growled, stalking away. Kaiba watched him silently, before following.
'If the mutt won't tell me, then I'll find out for myself.'
*********************
"Jou! I can't believe you skipped gym class!" Yuugi frowned, walking beside him. Ryou nodded.
"You can't afford to lose any more marks, Jou." He admitted. Jou sighed.
"I know, I know…" He murmured.
"Why were you so against going swimming, anyways? Last time we went to the beach, you were in the water almost the whole time." Anzu asked. Jou sighed.
"I jus' didn' feel up it today is all…" He said. His watched beeped, and he looked down. "Hey, listen, I promised Shizuka I'd take her shopping later today. I gotta run, okay?" Yuugi and the others nodded.
"Ja ne!"
"Ja!" He waved, running off in the direction of his house. A lean figure followed not far behind, its blue eyes glinting as it followed after him.
Jou walked as he hummed a soft tune, oblivious to the shadowy figure that had followed him closely. Unfortunately, just before he turned the corner to get to his house, a large amount of water fell on top of him. "Ack!!" She cried, looking up. The neighbour had ever so kindly dumped out the water after cleaning her floors. Dripping wet and ticked, Katsu opened the door to her house. "Hey Shizuka…" She muttered as she spied her sister.
Shizuka smiled, walking over. Then, without warning, she thrust something into her face, beaming.
"Isn't it kawaii??" She squealed. Katsu blinked, looking down. It was a cat. A whitish-blue cat with a patch of brown hair on its head, and brown on the tips of its ears, tail, and paws. Its eyes were a beautiful shade of blue, almost pure cerulean.
"A cat??" She blinked. The cat looked kind of ticked, its tail swishing back and forth. Shizuka nodded.
"I found it in the backyard! Can we keep it??" She pleaded. Katsu blinked again.
"K-keep it??" She stuttered. Shizuka nodded.
"Hai! Kaasan said it was okay if you said so! Please, Onichan??" She pleaded, giving Katsu her best puppy eyes. Katsu looked down at the cat, then back to Shizuka. She groaned, holding her head.
"I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, but I guess so." She sighed. Shizuka beamed, pecking her on the cheek.
"Arigato!" She beamed, petting the cat's head. "Hear that? Now you have a nice home." She said. Katsu threw her jacket down, followed quickly by her shirt.
"So what're ya gonna call it?" She asked. Shizuka frowned, thwaping her head. The cat's eyes widened several times their normal size at the sight of the shirtless red head.
"Ow!! Hey!" Katsu cried. "What was that for??" Shizuka gave a half-glare, half-frown.
"Put a shirt on! Have SOME decency!" Katsu huffed, picking up her clothes.
"Sor-ry! Geez, it wasn't MY fault the neighbour dumped water one me!" She said with a frown. Shizuka rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna take a bath, and then we'll go shopping, okay?" She said. Shizuka nodded.
"'Kay, but take Mr. Gizmo with you." She said, holding out the cat. Both Katsu and the cat blinked.
"'Mr. Gizmo'???" She asked in disbelief. Shizuka nodded with a smile. "Weird name for a cat." She said, taking the cat from her. It immediately started squirming in her grip. "Hey! Is takin' one simple bath that hard?!" She growled, carrying it upstairs. The cat glared, hissing as it beared its teeth.
"Don't hurt Mr. Gizmo!" Shizuka called. Katsu sighed, rolling her eyes as she closed the bathroom door, locking it as she set 'Mr. Gizmo' down on the floor. Then she turned on the taps, and began to fill the tub with hot water.
"Yeah, yeah…" She muttered. She placed her shirt and jacket in the sink, pulling of her socks and pants, leaving her in Kaiba's silk boxers, which she had yet to give back. She could SWEAR the cat was blushing as she removed 'her' boxers, placing them on the counter.
She walked over to 'Mr. Gizmo' with a smirk. "Ya know, you remind me a lot of this jerk at my school." She said, reaching for him. He hissed, swiping at her hand. "Hey!" Katsu glared. "Dumb cat!" She growled, lunging for him.
But 'Mr. Gizmo' dodged to the side, hopping up on the sink counter with a feline growl. Katsu glared, advancing on him. She faked a grab on the right, grinning as he fell for it, and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck with her left.
"Gotcha!" She grinned; delighting in how pissed the cat looked at that moment. "Now, now, it's only a bath." She smiled sweetly, though somewhat evilly as she stepped into the tub, holding the struggling cat as she dropped a bucket of water over her head. With his boy body back, Jou grinned as he saw the shocked expression on the cat. "Now its your turn." He smirked, dropping the cat in the water with a grin.
"Merow!" It yelped as it hit the water. Jou snickered, reaching to pull it out of the water.
"Hey, that wasn't so…bad…" Jou trailed off, his eyes going wide as saucers as he stared into the face of the one person he'd last expected.
Seto Kaiba.
