Part 3
Joey sat beside his new "partner" and reflected on the fact that life was not fair. Here he sat beside his worst enemy, the bane of his existence and he couldn't even give him a dirty look. They were both so tense and still that almost visible waves of agitation rolled off them. This was making the entire classroom act as if a bomb hade been placed in their midst with a sign on it that read: Danger, will explode if moved, talked to, or asked if it had an eraser.
All this would have been funny if the stakes weren't so high. The blonde duelist steamed over the teacher's harsh lecture after he'd paired them.
Flashback
Mr. Aimsworth paused again but held up a hand to forestall their outraged objections after telling them about what the report would be on.
"Both of you in the hall now." He gestured to the door when they failed to start moving.
"We can have this conversation in front of the entire class if you wish..." He had barely stopped speaking and they were already halfway to the door. The teacher smirked at their backs.
"I didn't think so."
He followed them out into the hall where they were already squaring off ready to do verbal if not physical battle.
"Stop right there! This gentleman is what I would like to speak to you about! Since the two of you met it's been one battle after another and I'm tired of separating you at every turn!" The teacher at this point was fed up with the both of them.
"You will work together on this project together and you will do so without even a hint of aggression. If I see any evidence of fighting between you two I will fail you both!"
Seto did not look worried. "Mr. Aimsworth." He drawled in his most lofty and superior tone of voice. "I seem to recall that with my outstanding marks in all tests I don't need to participate in any projects. This is just another waste of my time."
Joey spoke up with exasperation before the teacher could say anything. "Who am I supposed to do my project on if moneybags here is taking a powder?"
The now irate teacher held up both hands before gesturing angrily with them.
"Neither of you are listening to me, you will work on this together or I will fail you and when I say fail I mean the entire class!
He went on before they could respond to that. "As I recall you both need this class to graduate so I suggest you put some effort into channeling all that aggression into something more productive."
He stood back to motion them back into class. "I'm not going to hear anything more on the subject so get to work, you have one month to complete it and I don't want to even hear a rumor that you've been fighting."
End Flashback
Joey looked sideways at the duelist without the other noticing. The CEO looked calm, nothing showed in his face or posture that might mean he was anything less than composed. The blond knew better though, when the teacher marched them back inside he'd seen the rage in the others blue eyes. Somebody was going to pay and he had a sinking feeling that it was going to be him.
This added a lot of weight to his theory that a law named Murphy was out to get him.
Seto sat at his desk and did something that most people would have thought him incapable of. He was sitting beside Joey Wheeler and said mutt was not on the verge of being beaten. No harsh words, no dirty looks, nothing. He was not even allowed to say anything to Wheeler that the mutt might find offensive. This however was not what was so extraordinary about the situation.
This was not turning out to be a good day; he had to work with a dog, was not allowed treat the second rate duelist as the scum he was and his employees hated him. Seto Kaiba sat at his desk and sulked.
Part 4
When class let out it was as if a massive vacuum had been turned on in the hall, Joey had never seen the place empty so quickly. With a start he realized that Kaiba had left with the rush and they had made no plans to work on the project outside of class. This had been the last class of the day so it was a good bet that he'd catch the jerk if he ran all the way to the parking lot in front.
He caught site of the tall figure just as he was about to duck into his limo. "Kaiba wait up!" He was panting after his mad dash through the halls.
"What do you want Wheeler." he looked like he had to bite his tongue to keep from making a more biting remark obviously conscious of the many students still standing around talking.
Joey was not about to be put off. "We need to decide when where going to work on this project money...Kaiba."
Seto smirked at the small slip, puppy didn't like this either. "That's simple, come to the mansion at six and I'll find out what I need to complete this ridiculous report. Make sure to use the servant's entrance."
"No."
Seto paused before getting in his limo again. He spoke very deliberately to the stubborn looking student. "What was that Wheeler?"
"If we go to your house you'll just treat me like you always do and I won't learn anything for my report now will I?" Joey went on as the bigger students look got darker with each word.
'We should meet at the public library that way there will be lots of students around and we can both work on our projects without...getting upset."
Kaiba stared at him for a moment before biting out an answer. "Fine."
Joey was quick to state a time before the other could leave. "How bout we meet at four though? I gotta be home by six."
Kaiba sneered at him. "A curfew wheeler? I was under the impression you were...... Joey cut him off before the CEO could say anything they would both regret.
"Listen to me!" The blond stepped closer to the brunette in an effort to convey his urgency
"We don't like each other and we don't have to! All I'm asking here is that you show a little courtesy and at least meet me halfway. I wont call you names if you do the same." Hot amber met icy blue in a locked stare.
Finally Joey looked away and there was a small silence.
"We will meet at four then, at the public library." Kaiba's voice sounded as even as ever and before the smaller student could say anything else the limo was pulling away, leaving him standing alone.
Thanks and Chapter notes
Somnia Lustre – Thank you for the review! Yes I did put the Kaiba bit there for a reason and kudos to you for susseing out the fact that (at the moment) it's out of place. All will become clear with time and more chapters.
Misura – Heh, Joey's not so bad Its Kaiba that's the ass.
Santurion1 – My mother went and found out about our own family tree a while back and it's not as hard as you might think. ( It just takes more time in real life than what our boys have got so I'm going to be taking liberties)
Kumori Sakusha formerly Saelbu – Thank you for the review!
AmethystRoze – Here's your update and thanks for your kind words!
