Warning+A/N: This is an AU, which means no duels, no magic, no millenium items and blah blah blah...And before reading the fic, plz note that Shizuka is not related to Jounouchi. And to answer Jou-pup's question, Bakura is the nice one^___^ Oh! And I dun hate Anzu, I only think that girl as a soso character. But as you can see, there's not much girls in the YGO series, so I pick her because there's so much ppl hate her*chases by Anzu fan* The rest of warning is on the previous chappies, so check it out plz, 'cause I hate repeating things!*run away very fast*
Anzu Fan: Dun run away, you coward!
Leon: Hawkie, shouldn't you help her?*sweatdrop*
Hawkie: Only if you do the disclaimer, kiddo.
Leon: Ok! Devilkid doesn't own YGO nor MeteoGarden, if she did, she'd make XXXXXX$ per month, and if we take out the expenses, that'll give us XXXXX$, multiply it by 12 monthes, it'd be XXXXXXXXX$. Then she'd have to pay the taxes, which is XXXXXX$, and then.....
Hawkie: Leon! Stop! You're trying to confuse ppl!O.o;;
Leon: I do not!*acting childish*
Hawkie: Whatever...Next time, just say something that normal ppl will understand, ok?

Flashback
It had been years that Seto Kaiba wanted to take over Motou Corp., and he was frustrated about it. He never took a lot of time to achieve his goal, always the winner in any situation. But the Motou Family was different than any other people he met. They were cold, good businessman/woman and the most important, never show their weaknesses because they never have one.
"Hey Kaiba, I heard the rumors said that puppy was an old friend of Yami!"
"Rumors are rumors, Otogi, can't you see they never talk to each other or say hello when they pass by? I told you not to listen to those stupid girl's talk." Answered Seto, who had his eyes on his mountain of documents and papers that he had to sign and read. He rubbed his eyes, at this rate he'd have to work overtime.
"That's because those stupid girl's talks are real sometimes. Do you remember the last time when I told you that Honda and Miho are in love?"
"So what? I still eliminate him without using that girl. But maybe I can play a bit with that street puppy, he is really fun to tease." Seto smiled coldly."I need something to calm my nerves."
If Otogi wasn't such a great investigator who could find usuful information quicker than anyone else, the brown-haired teen would surely eliminate the long-haired ladies' man. For him, Otogi was an annoying person, he wasn't afraid of Seto like everyone else, and that was what made him want to crash him.
'But not as much as that pathetic dog, maybe he really is Yami's friend. After all, who knows if the rumors are true.' He thought.
"Go find something about that chihuahua, Otogi." He commented
"Sure thing Kaiba." He smiled, "This is gonna be fun...." He mumbled in an amused tone, and left.
******************************************
Jounouchi Katsuya went to his little secret rendez-vous with the red-eyed teen. They had promised that they would act like they never met each other in the public. The CEO of Motou Corp. said it was for his good, but he hoped that one day they would be able to walk out together in the public and do things like friends should do instead of being secretive.
"Hi Yami, sorry to keep you waiting, evil teacher's fault! She's trying to drown us with her babble!" He grinned, "So what do you want to say?"
"Actually I want to ask you a favour."said Yami, looking a bit uncomfortable.
"Go ahead, shoot!" Smiled the blond.
"Well, you see...I received an important business invitation and I need someone acting as my girlfriend, so I was wondering if...euh...you want to take the job?" He looked at him hopefully.
"Sure th---you want me to do WHAT????!" Jou looked at him incredulously
Yami sighed, he knew it'd be like this, "I said, I want you to disguise as my date." The tri-haired teen said firmly.
"But...huh...I'm a guy....Why don't you ask somebody else? There are so many girls who'll be willing to take the job, like that Anzu girl, she talked with you this morning, remember? And she even asked you out, Anzu is not a bad looking girl, you know?" He said, trying to change his friend's mind, but it looked like Yami had already made up his decision. And when a Motou's mind was up, even the great president couldn't change it.
"Unlike you, those girls are only interested in my look and fortune." He pause, then smiled sweetly, "If you don't want to cooperate, I'm going to tell the news about your little secret...."
"You can't do that!! You promised me not to tell a word about it!" Said Jou, panic written all over his face.
"I did say that I won't tell a word about it," He smirked, "but I didn't say that I won't _write_ a word about it!"
"You.....!" Jou glared at him, then sighed after knowing he's not joking, "Fine, you win, when is your stupid bussiness party?"
"This weekend, at 6:00PM, meet me at the park, I'll find someone to fix you." He paused, "I'm sure you'll look great in girl's clothes." He snickered. "See you later, Johanna!"
"Haha...very funny..." Jou rolled his eyes, "What did I get myself into it...?"
Unfortunately, they didn't know that during their conversation, a pair of brown eyes followed them and eavesdropped on their talk.
"Jounouchi Katsuya, you're going to pay for it..."
******************************************
A/N: Ok, folks, this Infinity's part, so it IS normal that you think it's good
Seto walked down the path, going to a class across the campus. He saw Jou come out of a building not too far off and head for the same building that he was going to, since they took the next class together. He walked silently until they were close to the pond near the front gates, then stuck his foot out a little as he walked.
"Hey!" Jou yelled as he tripped. He landed off the edge of the path, and rolled over the bank of the pond, falling straight into the water. The water splashed everywhere as he got his head back over the surface, spitting and coughing.
"Terribly sorry." Seto called down to him, not sounding sorry at all.
"No you're not!" Jou spat out some more water, and started pushing his books and such to the dry land, swimming after them.
"I did apologize right?" Seto reminded him.
"But you didn't mean it!" Jou started to climb up onto the bank, clumsy from keeping his books from falling back into the water.
"What an ugly duckling, and no swan in sight." Seto said cruelly.
"You take that back!" Jou growled.
"You've always been washed up." Seto smirked. "But now you're finally showing it. I'll see you in class." He walked off.
******************************************
Jou walked into class, several minutes late. He had tried to run so he wouldn't be late, but hadn't gotten there in time. He left a trail of water as he went, since his hair, clothes, and books were still dripping.
The teacher stopped in the middle of his sentence. "Jounouchi, why are you late?"
Jou flushed angrily, and glared at Seto, who was sitting in the front row. "He pushed me into the pond"
Seto smirked at him. "I know you're clumsy, but don't use me as a scapegoat."
"I'm not!" Jou growled at him.
"Jounouchi..." The teacher warned, frowning. "Sit down."
"Don't insult me by implying I'd so much as touch you, you dirty dog. I hope falling in cleaned you off a bit." Seto said haughtily.
"You...!" Jou yelled, starting towards him.
Jou slipped on a puddle of water he'd left on the floor, and stumbled to the side. Seto laughed coldly. "Too clumsy to hit me? Don't bother trying; you'd miss even if I stood still."
"Jounouchi, sit down, and see me after class." The teacher told him sternly.
"Yes, sir..." Jou glared at Seto again, and walked to his seat, trying to ignore the people that were laughing. He'd probably get a ton of bookwork for this.....
A/N: End of Infinity's part, so DUN be surprise if the next parts are bad
******************************************
"I heard that you scared Mr. Kaiba and Mr. Otogi away last time, am I right?" Mai tapped her fingers on the table, smiling sweetly at Jou.
Jou blinked, 'This is not gonna be good...' then said cautiously, "Hi Mai! Wow, you look beautiful today," He took a deep breath, "And you smell so good! What kind of perfume do you use this time?"
"Well, I use freesia, it's so expensive, I shouldn't bu---Hey! Don't try to sidetrack me, it won't work this time!"
"Miss. Mai, please listen to me! Jou didn't do anything wrong! He was protecting me from Mr. Otogi!" The white-haired teen begged her.
"Bakura, can't you stop protecting that baby? You're not his mother, you know?" She glared at the blond, "Beside, he shouldn't scare away _my_ two MOST important customers, they could be very usuful to me!"
"Don't worry, lady, I'll be glad to come back as much as you want." A new voice broke in, "And hi puppy, how are you today?" Otogi smiled.
"Good, thanks to you and Mr.Oh-I'm-So-Superior!" He glared at Otogi. "I received extra homework because of him!"
"Oh, really??!" He raised a eyebrow, "Shouldn't you be happy about it? It'll help you to work harder for your final exams." He smirked.
"Jou, don't tell me you're friends with them??! You should've said it earlier!" She smiled, all the angry left her face. "Hi Mr.Otogi, how may I help you?" She asked, handing him a glass of water.
Jou sweatdropped, one minute she was mad at him and now she was smilling. ' That woman is really unbelievble...No wonder she's the owner of this famous coffee shop.'
"My, thank you Miss...?"
"Mai, Mai Valentine, it's an honor to meet you, Mr.Otogi!" She gave him her best smile.
"Just call me Otogi, Miss. Mai." He smiled lovely to her, "Why, what a beautiful lady you are! Now I know why this coffee shop's bussiness is working perfectly compared to the others. With your charm and lovely voice, I'm sure every man in the world will fall for you."
"Oh, thank you, Otogi! But there are some people who can't admit the beauty that I possess." She sighed.
"That's because they are blind, Miss. Mai." He looked at Jou's direction, "And I think one of those you called is that blond one, am I right?"
"Just ignore them, Jou, the faster we finish, the quicker we leave." Bakura said.
"Yeah...This is driving me crazy..." Jou shaked his head, and continued where he had left.
******************************************
"Isis, that shade of eyeshadow goes all wrong with his eyes!" Shizuka told her friend.
"No, it does not, green will look just great with his eyes!" Isis said firmly to his partner.
"Purple is much better than green!" Said Shizuka.
"No, green is good!"
"No, purple!"
"Green!"
"Purple!"
"Green!"
"Stop it right now, you two! Can't we please finish this??!! I'm getting tired of your argument!" Jou yelled, desperate. It was already worse to have to dress like a girl, he really wasn't in the mood to listen to those two girl's .
They glared at eath other, then continue to work. Jou sighed, glad that they stopped, but his moment of silence only lasted for some minutes before another one began.
"I SAID blue dress will look great on him!" Said the red-haired girl.
"No! Red will look cute on him!" Her friend shouted it back.
"Blue one!"
"Red one!"
"Blue!"
"Red!"
"Blu....."
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!!! I'LL TAKE THE BLUE ONE, IS THAT OK???!" He scolwed at them, "IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT???!"
"No...." They looked at him, "Mister Yami's friend is so ferocious...." They mumbled.
******************************************
Yami Motou was at one of his magnificent villas, waiting for his to get ready for the party. It had been hours that Shizuka and Isis were fixing Jou, and he was getting worried. What if Jounouchi looked weird in girl's clothes? It wasn't a surprise, since Jou looked nothing like a girl, and especially the ones who fixed him were those two girls, sometime they had bizarre taste when it came to looks.
Suddenly, the change room's door opened, and Yami couldn't believe his eyes. There, in front of him, stood a cute girl that he would never believe that she was his best friend, Jounouchi Katsuya.
Jou walked into the room with Shizuka at his arm to help him balance. He needed the help, because he was wearing navy blue high heels that he wasn't very good at walking in. His long, pleated skirt swished around his ankles as he walked, and went up into a form-fitting top to show how thin he was, showing the curves of the stuffed bra they'd put on him. A small, gold butterfly brooch was pinned near his collar, that matched the earrings clipped onto his ears, and the navy clips that were in his styled hair. He wore lipstick, rouge, and eyeshadow, and his eyes looked much bigger than normal. All in all, he looked very feminine, and very cute.
"J...Jou.....? I....Is that you?" He asked, eyes wide.
"Yeah, it's me. Don't laugh at me, or you're gonna feel sorry about it!" Jou narrowed his eyes.
"Why will I laugh at you? You look so cute like that!" Yami didn't know he said it out loud until he noticed his friend's furious blushing. "Oooops, did I say that out loud?"
"Yes you did! Now come on, let's go to that stupid party of yours!"
"Well, looks like we are doing a great job!" Smiled Shizuka.
"Yeah! This is the first time I've heard Mister Yami gives compliments on somebody!" Isis whistled.
"Knock it off, you two!" Yami blushed.
"Wow, it is just me, or Mister Yami is blushing?" teased Isis
"Come on Isis, I think that we should leave Mister Yami and his lovely date go to their party before they are late" Shizuka gave them an acknowledge look, before grabbed her friend and left the room.
"Huh....should we go now?" Asked Jou, still blushing.
"Yeah....." Answered Yami, taking Jou's hand abruptly.
"Hey! What are you doing??!"
"Take your hand, why? We have to act like a real couple if you don't want people find out your identity." Yami said it in a-matter-of-fact tone. "Beside...." He continued, "I don't think that you can walk with those heels, do you?"
"Whatever....." He whispered. Jou didn't really want to think about it, 'First listen to those two girls' argument, then dress up like a girl, after that acting like me and Yami are couple! What worse could happen to me...?'
There were so much waited for you, Jounouchi.....The God of Destiny sniggered.
Ok, that's all for today ppl! I know Shizuka and Isis are acting very OOC, but what else could I do???*acting childish* Anywayz, do you like it? Or do you hate it? Plz review, you're making a 'Devilkid' very happy!!*puppy eyes*
