I Got Hit By a Car

Chapter Four Jealousy Always Works.

Ryou POV

Okay, now I'm crying. I am so more worth it than Malik. Okay, so maybe I dress like a yuppie, and maybe I am perfect in every way.. Okay, so Malik is almost as good as me. At least I'm sane.

All right, maybe I am slightly obsessed. Only slightly. Okay, completely.

Uh, now I sound like someone on 'As the Nile Flows.' That's Yami's favorite soap. Believe me, I regret ever opting for the soap operas instead of infomercials. They've been obsessed ever since.

Arg! Now my brain hurts. Or is that left over from Tea's visit?

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in," I said, kind as ever.

"Hey, Ryou. It's Joey. Can I talk to you?" Joey asked, sitting on the windowsill. (A/N: They're the best place to sit! Those who have been ever so intelligent made the connection between Price of Pride and this. Have a cookie and a cup of orange soda!)

"Of course, you can. Just sit down and make yourself comfortable. What can I do for you?" I asked, voicing concern.

"Well.you see." Joey began.

"Go on, Joey," I urged him. I really would like to get back to my musings on Bakura.

"There's this person I really like." Joey began.

"Who?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Tell me it's not Tea!"

"Dat's just wrong!"

"Okay, is it Mai?"

"Nope. It's .a.guy.you see. But I don't think he likes me the same way."

"Oh.then who is it? If it's me.there's someone else.I like."

"Really now? Who?"

"YOU NEVER ANSWERED!"I yelled. I pointed at him with an evil glare I learned from my yami. HINT: Notice the MY.

"It's.."

"Joey, come on, I won't tell anyone."

He mumbled something.

"Sorry, I missed that."

He mumbled a little louder.

"STOP MUMBLING!"

"I HAVE A CRUSH ON SETO KAIBA!" he yelled.

Seto POV

I swear I just heard something outside my window. I got up and closed it again.

Ryou POV

"Jeez, now he probably knows." Joey said.

"OF COURSE, HE DOESN'T KNOW!" I said quickly and loudly. Now he would most likely either a) wish to discuss this in more detail or b)

"So, who do you have a crush on?"

"Well, it's very complicated." I tried to explain.

"If it's Yugi, he's with Yami," Joey stated.

This made me mad, extremely mad. Leap up and kill someone mad.

"I'm in love with Bakura, but he's too busy to notice me and now, as we speak, Malik is making the moves on him."

"Malik? Man, this will probably end up in a huge love shape that ends up being separated with a happy ending."

I had to laugh. Okay, now, I'm crying again.

"Listen, Ryou. We need a plan. And you have the bah-rilliant mind of Joey Wheelah!"

I did the whole, smile with your eyes closed and sweat drop thing.

"Um. let's see." I said. I suddenly had a good idea. "Maybe Seto already likes you and you haven't noticed."

"I haven't?" He asked, eyes going wide.

"MAYBE, but think some more. What is a very powerful emotion?" I asked.

"Um.HUNGER?" Joey asked.

"A bit off there, let's see. How would you feel if Seto were to come in right now, arm in arm with.uh. Duke?" I decided. He was good-looking.

"HE'S CHEATING ON MY SISTER!" Joey cried.

"NO, no, no. I meant what if? IF. So let's say instead, Seto walks in arm- in-arm with Mai. How would you feel?" I asked, a little apprehensively.

"Um. does KILL MAI BRUTALLY good enough?" Joey asked, glaring daggers. This was getting scary.

"Er, yeah. In other words, you're jealous."

"You got THAT right, Ryou," Joey replied.

"So, what if we used that to our advantage?" I asked. I am 'bah-rilliant.'

"Okay, stop thinking with my quote," Joey said.

"Hey, this is my POV; you can't hear my thoughts." I cried.

"Okay, fine." Joey agreed, pouting.

"Okay, so here's what we do. We both have to act, stress the word ACT, like we're a couple. Especially, around Seto and Bakura."

"Yeah, jealousy always works."

"Um, hm," I agreed.

"Yeah, so, I'll see you later then." Joey said.

"Wait! You have to play the part. Come on. This is a spoof. Play it up a bit. And take me home. You still have that Virtual Truck? It can be our getaway mobile."

"Play it up. Okay, I can do this."

Joey stood and shook his head for a second. I raised an eyebrow.

"Ryou, I can't stand another minute without you! Let me rescue you from this cursed hospital!" Joey said.

"Er.okay, maybe that's laying it on too- "

"Shut up! I'm busy here! And so. my little Ryou. let's us escape and profess our 'love' elsewhere."

He kissed me. Okay, Kitsune Baka. this plot has gotten.. Wait, why are KB and YKB tied up and Marik is sitting in the director's chair?

"GET A ROOM!" He shouted.

I flipped him off with a free hand. Okay, I can't breathe. I pushed Joey away.

"I. can't. breathe." I gasped.

"This is quite interesting." Marik said, then cackled insanely.

"Er, change POV's," I said.

Bakura POV

Okay, this is. odd. Malik is sitting on my lap.

"Now that your hikari is nice and jealous." he purred.

"Um.could you get off me? I just sat for three hours and now I have to use the little yami's room," I said.

"Now how do I know you aren't lying?" Malik asked.

"YOU READ MINDS!" I shouted.

"Way to ruin the mood, 'Kura." Malik pouted.

I pushed him off and went to the bathroom.
