CHAPTER 4- Kaiba Gets a Clue
SETO'S POV
*I can not believe that damn principal wouldn't listen to me!* Kaiba thought, irritated as he sat through his last class. *Of course, it is true that we need a certain amount of service hours to get into a good college, but why do I even bother!*
Of course, he knew why he bothered. It was a matter of pride. Even though he knew he could buy his way into any college, hell he didn't even have to go, he would not have it said that any Kaiba had not had the best education possible. *Though, if I really wanted to learn anything, I certainly wouldn't be at THIS school...*
Just at that moment, the bell rang, signaling the end of last classes. All the students rushed out the door, eager to get home, and waste their time. Kaiba, however slowly gathered his books. There was no point for him to hurry, as today would be the first day of the tutoring. Mr. Henson had happily told him that he would have to waste...SPEND two hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with the troubled students.
What Kaiba did not notice was that another student lagged behind, hoping to have a word with him. Seto turned, just about to leave when he almost tripped over a small figure with shocking white hair. He stumbled, almost falling on top of him, but leaned to the side just in time, instead falling on an empty desk.
"I'm sorry Kaiba!" The boy cried, helping him to his feet again.
He hid his small smile. Ryou always seemed like a kind person, and his Yami was a hell of a duelist. Maintaining his dignity, he straightened and stood tall, "I'm fine. Is there something you wanted?"
He saw with slight surprise that Ryou blushed slightly at his question. "Uhm, well. There is something I wanted to know, but it can wait." He started to head out the door.
Kaiba frowned. "Wait. You can't leave now, having said only that much. I have to go tutor, so if you wish to tell me something, walk with me, and that way this will not have been a waste of time."
Ryou looked at him, surprised, "You are tutoring Kaiba?" At Kaiba's glare, he said, "Oh. I get it. They're making you. Well, I'm tutoring as well, and have been for a while. It's nice to know that I'll be getting a little more help. We don't usually have that many people there, but as it's only my Yami and I tutoring, it can be overwhelming sometimes."
Kabia nodded. It didn't surprise him that Ryou was a tutor. He seemed intelligent.
As Kaiba headed out the door, with Ryou right behind him, he asked, "So, what is it you wished to tell me?"
Ryou blushed faintly again, but this time said, "Well...It's more like asking for advice..."
There he stopped, "Yes...?" Kaiba prompted.
"Well, you see...It's like this..." He stopped again. Just when Kaiba was about to tell him to spit it out already, he spoke very quickly, "I think that I'm in love with my Yami. I always knew that I liked him, but now that we've really been able to work together side by side, I know it's love. And, I was wondering how you go about telling someone this. I mean, how have the others told you?" He asked, looking up at Kaiba.
*Hum, well he likes his Yami. No surprise there. But love? I didn't really see that coming. But why does he think I know what to do?...Hey! Was does he mean 'others'? Surely not those stupid girls...*
"Well, I don't know what to say Ryou. I've never really been in that position before. Sometime girls come on to me, and even guys occasionally, but I've never told anyone I loved them, nor they I. Except Mokuba of course...And what do you mean others?"
Ryou gaped at him as they entered the empty cafeteria, sight of the tutoring sessions. "You mean they haven't told you yet?"
Kaiba shot him a startled look, "What do you mean."
Ryou turned even more red, and said, "Oh! I've made a mistake! Nevermind!"
Before Kaiba could question him further, his Yami strolled in, and he quickly fled to safety. At Ryou's apparent want to be away from Seto, Bakura shot him a glare. Kaiba shrugged and sat at a bench. *I'll have to remember to ask him later*, he thought as he opened his laptop, deciding work until someone who needed help came along.
-------------------------------------------
RYOU'S POV
"Hi Bakura! How are you!" Ryou said to his Yami to tear his glare away from Kaiba.
He looked down at Ryou, frowning, "Are you ok? Was Kaiba bothering you?"
As Bakura lead him to a bench a little ways away from where Kaiba sat, Ryou replied, "Oh no. Quite the contrary in fact. I was just asking him for some advice."
He thought he saw a slightly hurt look on Bakura's face, as he looked away and asked, "I see. Anything important? Did he help you?"
*He's...jealous!* Ryou realized with a slight blush. That's it. Forget Kaiba. I'll do this on my own. After all, he is my Yami, I should know him best...*
"Yes, it was something of great importance actually, but Kaiba was unable to help me. Only you can."
Bakura back to him again, a curious look upon his face, "Yes...?"
Ryou could feel himself freezing again, with nervousness, but also because his love had turn his gorgeous face towards him. He coughed, and forced his nervousness back down. "Well, I am deeply in love with someone, and I was going to ask Kaiba how I should tell him so."
Bakura smirked at him, and said, "Tell HIM so hum?"
Ryou grinned and said, "Oh yes. Of course. You already knew that I was gay though...right?" His Yami SHOULD know such an important fact about him.
Bakura shot him a wicked grin, "I guessed as much, but wanted to make sure first."
*First...?* "What do you mean?" Ryou asked with genuine confusion.
"I didn't want to freak you out." At Ryou's blank face, he continued, "Aw hell. I'll show you."
With that, Ryou felt himself being pushed back so his back was up against the edge of the top of the table the bench was underneath. (He was sitting on the bench backwards) And before he could think, his Yami was upon him, ravishing his mouth with hot, sweet, demanding kisses. Ryou felt himself melt into the kiss, getting lost in the moment as Bakura kissed him passionately. He was completely unaware of the group of people who had just entered the room.
-------------------------------------------
YAMI'S POV
"Hello...Yami."
Yami looked behind him for the one who had said his name. He was on his was to the cafeteria to be with Seto...Erm, to help other students help themselves...Yeah, that was it... He saw Jou standing there.
He frowned slightly, but reacted civilly, "Jounouchi."
Just as he was about to enter, his sleeve was caught...by Jounouchi. "Wait a minute. I wanna talk with you for a second."
Yami sighed, sure he knew what this was about, and turned to talk to him, "All right, but hurry up. I got someone in there who I'm sure is waiting for me." He said this with a grin, thinking of Kaiba.
He heard Jounouchi growl a little, and smirked as he said, "Listen Yami. I know that you are a little attracted to Kaiba, but that is nothing to how I'm feeling, so stay away from him!" He practically yelled this part.
Yami felt himself grow intensely angry, and was about to respond when someone suddenly screeched, "Yami! Jou! Over here! Is Kaiba already inside! I can't wait to learn plenty!" And with that, Tea ran up to the two.
Yami's glare intensified as he remembered what she did to him. *How DARE she make me look a fool! I was thinking about SETO! NEVER would I think about her that way!*
She, however, didn't seem to notice the glares she was receiving from both Jou and Yami. She grabbed both their arms, and pulled them in the direction of the door to the cafeteria. Yami happened to glance behind him then, and notice that about 500 (really only about 8) preppy looking girls were following behind, all talking excitedly about...their two new tutors.
Yami was about to shoot them a death glare, as a few had just winked at him, when he was shoved through the doors.
-------------------------------------------
JOU'S POV
*I finally did it! Now, I doubt Yami will mess with Seto and I. He may desire Seto, but he probably isn't even really gay. He'll back off now...* Jou thought confidently as he was steered into the cafeteria.
What met their eyes was a sight that made many of the preps cry, "EWW! GROSS!" But some shout, "Oh...WOW!" In utter amazement, fascination, and arousal. Jou himself was thinking along the lines of *What the fu..?*
What caused such surprise was the sight of Ryou pressed up against a bench and his Yami kissing the living daylights out of him.
As soon as Jou took in the unexpected sight, his eyes roamed until they laid sight on Seto. Seto had apparently been working, his nimble fingers flying across his keyboard, until the preppies shouted. Jou then saw him look up, startled. *Wow. He musta really been concentrating to not notice something like that going on in the background* Jou thought with a slight grin.
He saw Kaiba look at the eleven of them, frozen in the doorway, then over at what they were staring at. Jou KNEW that as soon as he saw them, he had a look of, first shock, then amazement, and then...happiness...??
*Wait...If he wasn't grossed out by that, does that mean...HE'S gay...??* Jou felt his face flush slightly in happiness. *That ups my chances of being with him by a thousand. After all, if he's attracted to guys, and there are only a few guys he even talks to...* He shrugged, *Well, even if he's Bi, like me, then it still gives me a much better chance...*
He attention was soon drawn to the fact that Ryou had pushed Bakura away, panting, and was now a deeper shade of red then Jou had ever seen him before. *Poor guy...He could use some assurance that his friends are still with him right about now* Jou walked up to him, and said, "Hey guys! I'm really glad for you two!" Then he bent down a little closer, making their conversation more private, "I think it takes major guts to do something like that!"
Bakura shot him a smirking grin, but when Jou looked to Ryou, he noticed the smaller one was looking at Seto Kaiba...
-------------------------------------------
SETO'S POV
*Well, I'll admit that I really hadn't expected Ryou to react so soon on the information he just told me. But then again, he must have been thinking it for a long time. I'm sure it took courage for him to do something like that...* Kaiba thought, as he smiled at the two. They had broken apart, but their faces were flushed a little, even Bakura's.
He looked over to see Jou walking to congratulate Ryou and Bakura, and the others were still standing in the doorway. Some in lust, others in horror, and Yami in fascination. Kaiba allowed himself a small smile. He rarely got a chance to see the look of slight confusion upon Yami's face. It was amusing...
Suddenly he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned his head to see Ryou staring at him. Ryou looked pointedly at Jou for a second, then to Seto, and then to Yami, and then to Seto again. He widened his eyes, and then slowly winked at him. Seto's mouth dropped open in shock as he came to a realization...
