:: Crossing Over ::
+ Chapter Ten +
Yami was staying at one of the empty classrooms, waiting for Anzu to show up. The brunette had given him a notice this morning, asking him to wait for her at their Philosophy classroom at lunch hour, which meant now he was hungry, and he wanted to leave as quickly as possible, not really interested in what Anzu would want to tell him about.
Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a still panting girl.
"I'm sorry, Yami! I really didn't mean to be late, honest! My teacher didn't want any of us to leave until everyone had finished their works! And it took forever for those stupid people to finish it! And..."
"It's okay. What do you want to talk about?" Yami cut short what Anzu was talking about; he didn't have all day to listen to her long speech. After all, she wasn't a famous politician's daughter for nothing, right?
"You know...after that incident...I have thought a lot..." She paused, "Jou isn't such a bad person, I meant, he saved me from Pegasus' torture. If he wasn't here for me, I wouldn't be as pretty as now...." She said, feeling guilty about it. "And he even saved my virginity! In exchange of his...After all I had done to him, it's my turn to repay him, in some way..." She rocked her leg forward and backward, her eyes at the ground.
"Yes, you should. You blackmailed him, getting him embarrassed in front of so many people for having me. I don't know if there were reasons that you shouldn't repay him for his kindness." Yami glared at her, still mad about what she had done to his best friend.
"I know...." She sighed, "I really feel sorry about it...I guess I'm really a self-centered and selfish person like everyone says, right?" Anzu laughed nervously.
"Let get to the point, Miss.Anzu. Why did you ask me to come here in person?" Yami looked at her coldly; he had to meet his cousin first, then try to find Jou somewhere in the school. He didn't see him after that unhappy event, and he really worried about him. Jou may act tough, but he was fragile inside.
"I want to ask you something, do you like Jou?" She looked at him seriously.
"You know the answer, so why bother to ask the question?" He raised an eyebrow, what was this girl had in her mind?
Anzu took a deep breath before continued, "I want Jou to be happy. After all, he is an orphan. He needs someone to care and to look after him. Especially someone to give him love, someone who really likes him. I know that he has a friend who acts as his mother. But he needs someone equal in his eyes, someone who's a friend and better, a lover for him. Someone that he can share his pain, his happiness that he surely won't want to speak it to anyone. And you're perfect for that. I know you really care about him, Yami, even though you act rough sometimes. But you should look out for Kaiba too, he may not be as open as you, but he still gets his own way to help him." She advised him.
"It doesn't matter to me." He turned away, "After all, I'm your boyfriend, not his. He is Seto's now; I'm already one step late from that arrogant man." Yami smiled bitterly, not wanting to face her.
"They are in relation in public eyes, but they are not together. It's all make up, Yami, and you know that! Stop finding excuses for yourself! Have confidence like you always do!" She shakes her head desperately, "And you're not my boyfriend anymore, Yami. I have decided that our relation is over." This was the hardest decision she ever made in her entire life. Giving up someone she loved, that really wasn't her style. But she did want to repay the blond, and this was the best thing she could think up. Trying to hold back the tears that would fall in any minutes, she said,
"I guess this is goodbye, right? See you, Mr.Yami. And please, have faith in yourself and bring happiness to him. I don't want to sacrifice for nothing." She forced a smile, before running off, leaving a still stunned CEO in the classroom. Tears were running like a river on her face. She couldn't take it anymore. Covering her half face with one of her hands, she ran without watching where she was going, before it was too late, and bounced full force into someone.
"Are you okay, Miss?" The stranger asked, helping her get up.
"Yeah...Don't worry, I'm fine." She wiped her eyes; not wanting someone saw her cry. "Thank yo---Yami?!" She looked at him, eyes wide.
"No, Yami is my cousin. Everyone mistook me as him." He chuckled, "I'm Yugi Muto, nice to me you." The tri-color haired teen smiled warmly to her.
He did look like him, but had a softer and younger face. And his eyes' color was different too, if you looked at them carefully. Unlike his cousin, that kid was shorter too, and innocent.
"Sorry about that. I'm Anzu Masaki, nice to meet you too." She smiled back.
Well, well, looked like a new story began.....But let's just focused about the main one, ok?
******************************************
This was the second night that Jounouchi had nightmares. They were almost alike; related to what Pegasus had done to him. It was painful; he could still feel that man's presence, even though he wasn't here, probably staying at the police station. But he could still feel the pain, the pleasure that maniac had caused to him. The blond wanted to be with somebody, anybody, so he wouldn't feel so alone and unwanted. But he doubted about it, no one wanted a dirty little orphan, right?
He still wanted to keep on hoping that someone would save him from those nightmares, taking him away from them. The only person he could rely on, at the moment, was Seto, since the blond lived with him, and Jou didn't want to leave. The reason was still unknown to himself; he just liked it, that was all. The brunet had become less cold than before, maybe he could ask he about sleeping with him tonight? It wasn't a big deal, just one night in that CEO's room; he didn't think that Seto was stingy to the point to kick him out...Hopefully....
After losing several times in the still unfamiliar mansion, he finally found Seto's room. Raising his trembling hand, he reached the doorknob, having his courage leave him all the suddenly. He couldn't do it, and he would _never_ ask him for this kind of help! This was ridiculous, what was he thinking anyway?! That multi-billionaire would surely laugh at him; insult him with anything the arrogant teen could think up. Beside, he could make it out without anyone's help; it wasn't the first time he had nightmares, even though they were the worst ones. He doubted that Seto would help him, with his cold attitude; Jou didn't know if he would catch a cold or maybe die from the coldness.
Without warning, he heard Seto's calling, demanding him to get inside of the room, which almost made him jumped three meters mentally. He opened the door carefully, trying to think up an excuse to explain why did he disturb the Great Seto Kaiba's wonderful sleep in the middle of night. But he could think up none, the cerulean-eyed teen wouldn't buy explanations that were not important in his eyes. Guess he had to tell the truth....
"What do you want?!" Seto's emotionless voice came from the big king-sized bed that the brown-haired teen owned.
"I....I...euh....Well....euh....." Jou stammered, didn't he say he was going to tell the truth?!
"Never mind....I'm leaving, sorry to bother you. Good night." The brown-eyed teen turned away, wanted to get out of there. He shouldn't come here in the first place; it would only get him more embarrassing....
"Wait! What do you want to talk about?" This was the second time Jou didn't fight back when he called him by his nicknames, and that wasn't a good sign.
"Nothing important....." The blond replied darkly. He was still afraid to go back to his chamber, afraid to be alone in the big guestroom. Somewhere deep inside of him kept telling him that he would be safer with Seto, but he tried to ignore it, not wanting to trust it.
"Doesn't look like nothing to me." Seto folded his arms, "So....? Will you talk or not? I need some sleep, you know?" The brunet looked at him impatiently.
"Well....I....I...." Jou took a deep breath, "IjustwanttoaskyouifIcansleepwithyoutonight?" Great, he just said it...But he felt much better now.
"You want to...stay with me?" The blue-eyed teen raised an eyebrow, so that was what troubled him? The rich CEO thought something worse was happen to him. "So, if I recall it right, you want to sleep with me tonight?" Seto wasn't a Kaiba for nothing; he just translated what the mutt just said minute ago.
Jou answer it by a nod, blushing lightly. "Can I?" He looked at him while trying to imitate anime characters' puppy eyes. The blond really didn't want to face those things by himself anymore...It was not an enjoyable experience; maybe staying with someone would change something?
"Did I say that puppy can't sleep on the master's bed?" Seto smirked, "I guess I didn't make that rule in the house, right?" He gave Jou some space so he could climb up on the bed and sleep.
"Thanks....." He didn't expect that kind of answer, didn't expect that Seto really let him sleep with him. He happily hopped on the bed, trying to have a respectable space between him and the brunet. "Good night...." Jou yawned, before falling into deep sleep, tired from two days' white night.
"Good night, Jou." He chuckled after thinking what did the blond just ask. He sounded like a little child who had nightmares. and Seto didn't even have to guess what kind of nightmares the blond had.
'That Pegasus, he really deserves a slow and painful death...' He smircked coldly. No one _had_ the right to hurt _his_ puppy...Waited a minute, when did he become possessive over a mutt? Oh well, he really didn't care about it. After all, if Seto wasn't wrong, he did like him. It may took him time to realize that; better find it out than deny it, no?
It wasn't his fault if the one he had interest was a boy, and a _normal_ poor guy to be specify. The brown-haired teen hugged him, wanting to make him feel secure. Seto didn't know that Jou also had a fragile part....And the multi-billionaire didn't know why did he become soft, but he cared less about it. He didn't see the smile on Jou's face...
Tonight, no one had dreamed of a certain silver-haired maniac.....
******************************************
Yami Motou was searching for his friend; it was the third day that he didn't see the blond, and it worried him. Part of it was because Jou was his friend, his crush; part of it was because he didn't want to lose the bet. The cost was too high, and he didn't want to lose both, not even plan on losing.
Today was the perfect time for him, Seto wasn't at school, and Jou surely wouldn't want to stay at home while he should sit in the classroom and listen to those boring teachers' babbles. He didn't like school, but he wanted to graduate, and have a job. And Yami didn't think that the brown-eyed teen would accept his offer as working for him and doing nothing at all.
"Look what we have here, it's Mr.Kaiba's slut!" One of the girls looked at him, disgust was written all over her face.
"Hey!" Jou glared at her, if he wasn't the kind of person who didn't fight with girls, he probably would break one of her bones, now.
"I just want to warn you something, pauper. Don't be too close to Mr.Kaiba, you can't be, and won't be important to him. Just look at you, a beggar like you could _never_ be anything significant to him. You're just a whore for him, an insignificant puppy that he could throw away anytime he wants. So, you should leave him already, and gives him back to us. Rich people should be with rich one, not with some poor guys like you. You're only good as a play toy to us, which means to Mr.Kaiba too. So leave him before you get yourself hurt." The leader-liked girl said viciously without even breathing much from the long speech.
"Yeah!" One of the girls exclaimed.
"She is right!" Another girl agreed.
"We are only telling you this because we don't want you to get hurt." The third girl smiled in a not-so-friendly way to him.
"And I warn you, Jounouchi Katsuya, get away from Mr.Motou too. He acts as your friend because he pities you." The leader of the little gang smiled coldly after seeing Jou's face getting darker. Looked like she did get the reaction she wanted to see from the blond boy....
"And who told you that?!" A familiar voice broke in, not being happy about what he just had heard. "How can you be sure about it when you're not me?" Yami glared at them, those girls were really selfish! They were just like normal people, only their status had raised them up. If it wasn't their background's help, they were nothing but a group of average people covered with higher position and money.
"I...I...I was teaching him some...some manners, M...Mr.Motou." She stuttered, didn't she tell the others to notice her when Yami was around?
"Really? Doesn't look like one to me." The red-eyed teen raised an eyebrow, not even trusting any words she had said. He gave a quick look to Jou; seeing his friend's face grew darker, he dragged the blond away. Ignoring Jou's protest, Yami took him to a private place that he had found weeks ago, a place where he hid from his fan girls.
"Jou, tell me, what did that girl say to you?" Yami looked at Jou worriedly; the blond had never been like that before....
"Nothing...." He answered without looking at the spiky-haired teen. He was still hurt by those words, and it just reminded him of Pegasus, of what kind of trash he was, an excuse for the world.
"How am I going to trust you if you are acting like that, Jounouchi! How will I help you if you don't tell me anything?!" Yami asked angrily, Jou was always like that, never wanted to tell people his problems, always solved them by himself.
"I...I...." Jou looked away, didn't have the courage to meet those confident red eyes. Those eyes...They looked like they could see through you, finding the truth behind the lie, the mask he had put on.
"Jou......." He sighed desperately, "You shouldn't carry those burdens by yourself, especially don't bury them inside of you. You'll only grow weaker mentally and one day you may not be able to take it anymore."
"Yeah........" Yami was right; he was tired about all this. Jou wanted someone to be with him, walking this painful and suffer path together. He was tired of be alone all the time, tired for having to deal everything by himself. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He had to fight back those tears, but he was tired of this, tired of always being the tough one in order to protect himself. He wanted to be weak one for once, wanted to release his tiredness, his sorrow, his pain...
Yami seemed to notice it, "If you want to cry, just do it, no one will see it." He paused, "It'll always make you feel better if you just let out what was pressing inside of you." The tri-color haired teen smiled sincerely.
"I....." He cried, couldn't take it anymore. Jou warpped his arms around his waist, burying his face in the CEO's chest. He was acting like a little child, a lost, lonely child, but he really didn't care about it. Last night's comfort had made him feel better, but he didn't know if those girls were telling the truth. He was afraid, afraid that Seto was playing with him and his heart, afraid that he would be alone again. At least, he still had a friend who cared about him, someone among his few friends that was special to him, different from the others. He couldn't tell why, but that was the way he felt.
Yami hugged him back, giving him a friendly, assuredly hug. He knew that now his friend was fragile, one wrong move and it would just break him easily. They were staying like that for God knew how long, until Jou just realized what kind of position they were. He pushed away, blushing madly.
"I'm sorry, Yami. I didn't mean to...I...I" Just how many times did he lose the ability to talk? He cursed mentally, just when did boys cry? But it did make him feel good after crying out....
"It's okay, Jou." He smiled friendly to him, "If you feel like crying or talk, I'll always be here for you."
"Thanks." He smiled back, being happy that someone will be with him, no matter what would happen...
Now he had at least one place to go when he was alone...Yami Motou was on the list now...
Maybe he could consider Seto as one too?

"How am I going to trust you if you are acting like that, Jounouchi! How will I help you if you don't tell me anything?!" Yami asked angrily, Jou was always like that, never wanted to tell people his problems, always solved them by himself.
"I...I...." Jou looked away, didn't have the courage to meet those confident red eyes. Those eyes...They looked like they could see through you, finding the truth behind the lie, the mask he had put on.
"Jou......." He sighed desperately, "You shouldn't carry those burdens by yourself, especially don't bury them inside of you. You'll only grow weaker mentally and one day you may not be able to take it anymore."
"Yeah........" Yami was right; he was tired about all this. Jou wanted someone to be with him, walking this painful and suffer path together. He was tired of be alone all the time, tired for having to deal everything by himself. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He had to fight back those tears, but he was tired of this, tired of always being the tough one in order to protect himself. He wanted to be weak one for once, wanted to release his tiredness, his sorrow, his pain...
Yami seemed to notice it, "If you want to cry, just do it, no one will see it." He paused, "It'll always make you feel better if you just let out what was pressing inside of you." The tri-color haired teen smiled sincerely.
"I....." He cried, couldn't take it anymore. Jou warpped his arms around his waist, burying his face in the CEO's chest. He was acting like a little child, a lost, lonely child, but he really didn't care about it. Last night's comfort had made him feel better, but he didn't know if those girls were telling the truth. He was afraid, afraid that Seto was playing with him and his heart, afraid that he would be alone again. At least, he still had a friend who cared about him, someone among his few friends that was special to him, different from the others. He couldn't tell why, but that was the way he felt.
Yami hugged him back, giving him a friendly, assuredly hug. He knew that now his friend was fragile, one wrong move and it would just break him easily. They were staying like that for God knew how long, until Jou just realized what kind of position they were. He pushed away, blushing madly.
"I'm sorry, Yami. I didn't mean to...I...I" Just how many times did he lose the ability to talk? He cursed mentally, just when did boys cry? But it did make him feel good after crying out....
"It's okay, Jou." He smiled friendly to him, "If you feel like crying or talk, I'll always be here for you."
"Thanks." He smiled back, being happy that someone will be with him, no matter what would happen...
Now he had at least one place to go when he was alone...Yami Motou was on the list now...
Maybe he could consider Seto as one too?
