**IMPORTANT**
This is an important announcement regarding this fanfiction story:
1. I am writing this for me. Not for the purpose to try to please every single reviewer.
2. If you aren't a fan of Yaoi, or heterosexual couplings, don't bother telling me that, okay? If you're not happy with what I'm writing, why are you reading it?
3. Thank you for all your opinions and comments! They help a lot!
4. The story ideas posted last chapter are as of now useless. They were random bits of things I had in my head at the time, and voting for them would be useless. Sorry about that.
5. If you have story ideas, I am more than willing to hear.
6. Hyatt Insomnia, if you, or anyone else who reads this is offended or angry with me, I apologize. Sometimes, things are just a little too much for me.
7. I'm planning on trying to keep this fic clean, so there might not be any Hentai or ecchi moments, unless reviewers attack me for a lemon or limey moment.
8. I realize both Katsuya and Seto are both too young to have children, and I thank you for your telling me. Though, sometimes, unexpected things happen.
9. As far as bringing Ranma 1/2 characters into the story, I don't believe I'll be doing that, sorry.

Chapter Eight: Blackmail and then Some.
******************
"K-K-K-Ka-Ka-Kai-Kaiba?!?!?!?!" Jou nearly screamed, eyes wide as his open mouth, dropping his hold on the CEO's hair. Kaiba glared daggers at him, though shock was written all over his face as well.
"Jounouchi…" He trailed off with a growl. Jou went beet red at the fact they were both naked, and in a bathtub—with only at MOST, a foot separating them.
Kaiba gritted his teeth at the sight of the stunned blonde, hair plastered to his face, which was red. He tried not to focus on the small distance between them.
"Y-Y-Yuh-you're a CAT!!" he cried. Kaiba gritted his teeth even harder.
"No thanks to you, Katsu." He growled. Jou glared.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Jou snapped. Kaiba pulled himself from the tub, wrapping a towel around his waist. He turned back to glare at the open-mouthed boy who gaped at him.
"Because of you, I fell into one of those damn springs!" He snapped. Jou blinked.
"When??" Kaiba had been at the springs with him, even the dinner party. When had this happened?
"When I went to look for you in the rain, dumbass." He scowled. "I fell into the Maonichuan while I was looking for you, okay?! That guide changed me back with some hot water." He growled, clenching his fists. Jou snickered.
"Ha! You got stuck with a curse too! I was hopin' I could push ya in myself…" He smirked. Kaiba glared, before smirking.
"Oh? And being a girl isn't worse? I should have suspected something. You both acted the same way!" He said. Jou glared. "Only…" He paused, to cast him a spiteful smirk. "I never thought you'd ever wear a dress, more or less act like a girl…" Jou growled, jumping to his feet.
"What'd you say?!" He demanded, clenching his fists. Kaiba blinked, before smirking as he tilted his head to the side slightly.
"Maybe you should put some clothes on, koinu." He chuckled at the furious blush that stained the blonde's face as he quickly grabbed a towel to cover himself.
"Jerk…" He mumbled. Kaiba glared again.
"I wasn't the one who walked around in nothing but her birthday suit, mutt." He snapped. Jou flushed again.
"Hentai! Ecchi! You walked in on me while I was dressing!!" Jou yelled. Kaiba glared, standing over him menacingly.
"You're blaming me?" He asked angrily. Jou gulped, nodding.
"Yeah! I didn't CHOOSE to go to China with you! YOU chose ME! It was YOUR fault!" He said. Kaiba smirked.
"I wonder what would happen if your secret would happen to leak out…" He smirked. Jou clenching his fists tightly.
"You wouldn't." He said. Kaiba raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Is that so?" He asked with a coy smirk. Jou nodded, matching it.
"Yeah, Mr. Gizmo." He said, throwing a bucket of cold water all over Kaiba. He cried out at the sudden change on temperature, before a bluish-white cat with brown on it, sopping wet, stood where Seto Kaiba once had been.
Jou smirked, leaning down to smile at the glaring cat. "You make such a kawaii pet." Kaiba growled, swiping his paw at Jou, effectively leaving a red mark across Jou's face. It began to bleed. "DAMN CAT!!" Jou yelled, lunging for the cat that would have no doubt been smirking right then if he could.
Kaiba ran past Jou, jumping effortlessly to the windowsill, casting on last glance at the enraged blonde. He stuck out his tiny pink tongue, jumping out onto the roof, dashing over to the nearby fence. Jou cursed, holding his cheek.
"This isn't good…"
*********************
"Kaiba! Kaiba, get yer ass over here now!" Jou called, running through the streets of Domino. 'Where did he go?! Gods, if this gets out…' He looked from side to side, running down the streets. 'Where did he go?!'
He'd had to dress swiftly, only managing to pull on some boxers, loose jeans and a sleeveless Nike T-shirt. Other than that, all he had on were shoes and socks.
"Aw!! It's so kawaii!!" A girl cried. Jou looked over across the road, where a whole group of teenaged girls had gathered. 'Maybe…' He thought. As he got closer, he saw the object of their affections. The same old Seto Kaiba, only in cat form. And he looked none to happy.
His fur was slightly ruffled from all the girls fawning over him, and he looked severely pissed. The pink-haired girl that held him in her arms, keeping him from escaping, giggled as he thrashed again. "He's so cute! I'm gonna call him 'Pooky'!" She said. The other girls giggled, each wanting a turn to pet the soft, pissed, angry, ready-to-kill cat that couldn't escape from their evil clutches.
When Jou approached, he sent a glare right at him. Jou just smirked, watching as he was dubbed 'Pooky'. As funny as it was to see the girls tie a big pink ribbon around his neck, Jou had to take pity on him. Well, not really, but he felt bad for him.
"Uh…can I have my cat back?" He asked awkwardly, noticing Kaiba's tail twitched at his sentence. The girls pouted.
"He's already taken?" They asked. Jou nodded, rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, sorry. Mr. Gizmo belongs ta my lil' sister." He said. Pouting, the pink-haired girl handed him over. Kaiba didn't jump away as Jou had expected, rather dig his claws into his shirt, not wanting to at any moment be pulled back to the 'rabid' girls.
Jou smiled. "Thanks." He turned away from the group of girls, sighing heavily. "Lucky I decided to save your ass, Pooky…" Jou smirked down at the ruffled cat. Kaiba only glared, and dug his claws in deeper. "Ow! Hey!" He yelped, nearly dropping him. "I was only jokin', geez…" He muttered, gathering him back into his arms, forcing his claws out of his shit. He looked down at the tabby. "You look good with a ribbon." Kaiba hissed.
"OW!!!"
******************
Several band-aids later, Jou and the Neko-Kaiba made it back to his house. Jou sighed as he glanced over at the cat, whom of which sat on the opposite couch, sitting up properly, watching him with an unreadable expression.
'Do cats even give expressions…?' Jou wondered silently.
"Hey, listen Kaiba. I'm sorry for you gettin' turned into a cat or whatever, but it wasn't just my fault, okay? You're as much to blame here as I am." Jou finished wrapping his left arm in a bandage, where Kaiba had promptly used him as a scratching post.
Kaiba simply flicked his tail up and down once in reply. Jou sighed. "If I turn ya back, will you promise not to kill me?" He asked. The cat known as 'Mr. Gizmo', 'Pooky', and 'Seto Kaiba' nodded. Jou nodded. "I'm gonna hold ya to that promise…" He murmured, not only grabbing a kettle of water to put on the stove, but some shorts, boxers, and a T-shirt.
He walked back into the living room, picking Kaiba up, to which he surprisingly didn't object to, placing him on the kitchen table as they waited for the water to heat up. Kaiba yawned slightly, ears bending back as his teeth beared, before disappearing into his tiny mouth. Jou shuddered. "I am SO glad you didn't turn into a tiger or somethin'…" He murmured. Kaiba flicked his tail again, waiting patiently. Jou frowned.
"How can you act so calm and cool, huh? I nearly died when I found out I was stuck with a girl's body." Kaiba flexed his claws, bearing his teeth. Jou nodded. "Ah." He laid his head against the table, looking up at him for his sideways position.
"Let's call a momentary truce, 'kay? We keep this a secret." He said, holding out a hand. Kaiba looked at it for a moment, before placing his paw inside Jou's large hand. Well, large to him anyway. Jou smiled, releasing his hand. "Ya know, when ya don't insult me, you're actually kinda bearable. That, or its because you can't talk…" Kaiba's gaze narrowed. Jou chuckled, patting his head lightly. "Jus' kiddin'…"
"Onichan! Did you give Mr. Gizmo a bath??" Shizuka asked as she walked into the kitchen, smiling at the two of them. Jou grinned sheepishly.
"Er…somewhat, at any rate." He said. Shizuka giggled, kissing his cheek, before stroking Kaiba's head affectionately.
"He's so kawaii. Poor thing, without a home or anything…" She murmured. Jou blinked at her actions, before realizing that she didn't know it was Kaiba in his cursed form. Kaiba lay down on the table, giving no signs that he had enjoyed it. 'Probably didn't. 'Sides, I don' think his pride would allow it.' Jou chuckled inwardly.
"Um…Shizuka…" Jou fidgeted with his fingers. Kaiba couldn't change back with her in the room. And he couldn't tell her either, because they had made a truce.
"Hai?" She asked, ceasing her affectionate touches on Kaiba.
"Ah…" He stumbled over he words. 'Think think think!' He cried mentally. "Could you get some milk from the store? We're kinda low at the moment." Jou lied. Shizuka smiled with a nod.
"Okay! Should I grab some vegetables too, for dinner?" She asked. Jou nodded.
"Sure, and thanks." He smiled. Shizuka returned it, kissing his cheek again as she gathered up her purse.
"No problem. Be back soon!" She waved. Jou sighed.
"At least we really DID need milk…" He murmured, running a hand through his hair. Kaiba gazed at him, confused. He could have easily enough gone back on his word and revealed him…but he hadn't.
'Why, though?' He wondered.
Jou turned back to him with a half-smile.
"Th' water's probably ready by now." He said, standing up to gather up the kettle and bring it back over to the table. "There's some clothes right there, and no one will see, and I'll turn around, okay?" Jou said, looking at Kaiba. He nodded, jumping down onto one of the chairs.
Jou turned away as he poured the warm liquid over him, waiting before Kaiba told him it was okay to look.
"Thanks…" Kaiba muttered, as soon as he finished dressing himself. Jou turned around, smiling.
"No problem. Sorry 'bout the shorts. It's all I have at the moment, until I do laundry." He said. Kaiba nodded.
"I appreciate your hospitality, but I have things to attend to." He said, standing up. Jou frowned slightly, but followed him as they walked to the front door. Jou opened it, grinning. Kaiba glanced at him. "What?"
"You look good in a bow." He chuckled. Kaiba flushed, hastily pulling the pink ribbon from around his neck with a scowl.
"Shut up." He grumbled. Jou just laughed.
"See ya in school tomorrow, okay?" He said. Kaiba nodded as he walked out side. Jou sighed heavily, walking back into the kitchen as he poured himself a glass of water. 'At least he was relatively nice, despite that fact he scratched the hell outta my arm.' Jou thought. He blushed when his thoughts trailed back to the bathroom incident.
A scratching sound from the door stopped his thoughts. He blinked, walking back over to the door and opening it. "Hello?"
"Meow." Neko-Kaiba said dully. Jou blinked, stepping outside, instantly regretting it when rain poured down on him.
"Ah. It's raining." Katsu acknowledged, picking up the wet cat as well as her clothes. "Well, I guess we'll have to get more water…" She sighed. A yip from behind alerted her to the soaking Shizuka, too. Katsu sighed heavily. "You got wet too, huh?" Shizuka nodded, hastily pouncing into the house, followed quickly by Katsu with Kaiba in her arms.
Shizuka and Kaiba both shook the water from their fur, while the best Katsu could do was dry herself with a towel, and change into now loose-fitting boxers, and a loose tank top. She walked back to kitchen, turning on the tap for more water to heat up. But nothing came out. Frowning, Katsu tried the other faucet.
Nothing.
Zip.
Nada.
"Geez! How much worse can this get???" She wondered aloud, running a hand through her hair.
Just then, the power went out.
"I had to ask…"
