Disclaimer: *pushes forward a dog-suited Otogi, who's blushing furiously in embarrassment*
Otogi: *glares at Dee and holds up a sign miserably* -Moonchild DJ does not own anything of Yugioh, but she does own this story and its plot. Please don't take. *holds up another sign* She also owns the right to make me wear this, since she's making me be so horrible to Jou in the sto--OW!! *drops sign and rubs head* What was that for?
Bad doggie. No ad-libbing. *hides the rolled-up newspaper behind her back* Now finish up.
Otogi: *grumbles* Do I have to..? *'meep's at her deathglare* Eh..heheheh. Um. Dee would like to thank you all for all the kind words you've said about this fic, even the death threats against me..*shudders* She hopes you continue to like what's ahead, as well, and she loves to hear what you think about it..
*pats Otogi on the head* Good doggie.
Otogi: *whines as he hears laughter from Jou somewhere* Can I go, now?
One last thing.
Otogi: Oh yeah. *sighs* Enjoy. Woof. *runs away as a taunting Jou runs after him*
*smirks* I couldn't resist. XD
Author's Notes: Kon'wa, everybody! Yep, I'm updating H&L, L&H, as well, FINALLY! Sorry for the wait, but I've been busy. I'm updating everything, so gimme some time, and all shall be up to speed. I hope you enjoy this chapter, 'cause it looks like everything starts here. Let me know what you think, ne? It gives me a lot of inspiration. ^_^
**********
"Would you stop *dragging* me?! I can walk, ya know!" Jou growled, trying to wrench away from the black-haired boy's grip and his dragging him along behind him like some disobediant puppy. But the grip was constant, never- ending, determined.
"Be quiet, you're only making a spectacle of yourself. You made the deal, didn't you? So are you going to live up to your promise, or break it like a coward because you're too scared?" Otogi taunted, sneering back at the blond. It was fun to see how far he could push Jou, to either see him bristle and growl, or whimper and protest. And with the added incentive of Seto Kaiba seeing red...or was it green...?..made it more enjoyable.
Jou growled. "I'm not scared!" Well..he was, a little, but he wouldn't let the arrogant black-haired boy know that. "Our deal was a week, why have you gone back on that deal and lengthened it? You know you don't have a right to change the deal you insisted on keeping."
Otogi smirked. "I have every right. It's my deal in the first place, and you agreed to it. Stop whining."
"I'm not whining!" Jou protested, flushing. "You have no right!"
He chuckled and shook his head. "Time for you to learn that not everything is right, Jou. A lot of people get their way. And you know I will."
Jou glared at him. "Why me?"
"Because you're fun to play with. I do love a good game, and you keep me amused. It'll be fun to see what happens, your reactions."
Otogi reminded him so much of Kaiba, it was scary. They both had that stubborn determination to make him look like a fool. They both enjoyed getting him into embarrassing scrapes. But at the moment, Jou was sorely wishing he was putting up with Kaiba instead, he could handle him. He knew..basically..how Kaiba worked, even though he had surprised him with trying to help him. But Otogi..who knew what was going on behind those unusual blue-green eyes.
"What do you plan to do with me?" the blond asked the other boy in a bitter, acidic tone. When Otogi smiled, he knew it wasn't good.
"Wouldn't you like to know? So many ideas..so little time."
Jou wrinkled his nose at the words in distaste. "Baka." he muttered, glaring at him when Otogi just smirked and dragged him on. Sure, Kaiba may have been his rival, but he would've much preferred to have been in this situation with him. He blinked as he realized his train of thought, putting an abrupt halt on them. 'Waiiiiiit a minute, why would I want to be in a situation like this with him, Kaiba doesn't own me! Much as he thinks he does..I don't want him anywhere near me! I just..would prefer him over Otogi. Yeah, that's it.'
As much as his head was screaming that he was living in a place with a river called De Nile, he ignored his conscience and glared at Otogi as he was dragged on. Just what did Otogi have in mind for him? After that kiss that he'd been forced into, he was afraid to ask. Otogi struck him as a player, used to getting his way, and damn everyone else. What could he possibly want with him?
********
Mokuba watched his big brother gaze out the window of the limo, green eyes worried and dark as they watched Seto. He hadn't said much of anything after they'd gotten out of Otogi's place, those intense blue eyes so far away and lost in thought.
He didn't know if he should bother him or not, Seto looked so upset. He supposed it was because of Jou, of not being able to help him, but he wasn't used to seeing him care for anyone other than himself. Not that he didn't, it was just that Seto wasn't a very good people person. Their childhood was so lonely and not the most happy, he found it hard to make friends, the only people he usually dealt with on a daily basis were the board members at KaibaCorp and his classmates, as Mokuba couldn't blame him for being antisocial, he, more than anyone, would understand.
So why was it that not being able to help Jou would put that worried scowl on his brother's face? Someone that Seto claimed he couldn't stand? Mokuba liked him..but why would he care?
Seto caught the reflection of the black-haired boy's face in the window and turned around, giving him a rare smile that he only reserved for his little brother. "Hey, there..don't look so worried for me. I'm fine, kiddo." he replied softly, tousling his hair gently.
Mokuba made a face and shook his head. "You're not fine, big brother, you're upset about something. And I'm thinking it has to do with what we saw happen to Jou."
Seto sighed. "Anyone tell you you're too smart for your age?"
Mokuba grinned. "Yup. My teachers and you. But you more often, 'cause I can read you like a book. Besides, I'm the brother of a genius, it has to run in the genes."
He chuckled and shook his head, tousling the boy's hair again and delighting in his boyish laughter. "You worry too much. I was just thinking I wished I could have done more for him. I don't know how to get him out of that stupid deal, since Otogi seemed so determined.."
"You'll think up a way, big brother, I know you will. But..why do you want to help Jou? I thought you hated him.."
Seto shook his head. "I don't hate him. Not really. We just don't see eye to eye, I suppose. He pushes my buttons, I push his. But it doesn't mean I want him to be hurt."
Mokuba blinked in confusion, then nodded vaguely. He didn't understand exactly what had changed. He knew that his brother wasn't as cold as people thought he was, but to help someone you claim to despise, that you constantly taunt, seemed a bit off-kilter. But if he was going to help Jou, then he certainly wouldn't complain.
Even Seto himself didn't understand why he was so determined to help Jou. They were't great friends, not like Yugi and the others to Jou. In fact, they couldn't even get along and go for five minutes without fists and insults flying. He wasn't family, he was just barely an acquaintance, an annoying one, at that. With that loud mouth and brash attitude, the cockiness, the stubborness, the soulful deep honey-brown eyes, the overgrown soft-looking blond hair, the vulnerability..he blinked as he registered the path his train of thought had taken.
....Where in the world had that come from?
He wasn't thinking nice thoughts about his rival, he wasn't! His hand fisted in his lap. "Damn confusing puppy..." he muttered under his breath. He didn't like him, didn't think of him as anything more than his.
...That didn't sound right, either.
Now he was contradicting himself! It was his job to torment Jou, no one else's. Yes, that was it. Otogi didn't have a claim to terrorize the blond, he was only making a claim, protecting what was his, alone.
His? Now he sounded possessive. What was wrong with him? He was getting as bad as Otogi if he seriously thought of Jou as his! But..he was kind of his..in a way..his to torment, his to pick on and drive crazy. Him alone to make those fiery eyes flare, to bristle and get that temper up. Not Otogi. To protect from anyone that would hurt him.
Yes. Even to protect. He sighed softly. He didn't want to examine the reason for his wanting to help him. It was too complicated, too hard to understand. He wasn't even going to try. See to Jou first, think about the reasons later. He put his mind to that as the limo they rode in stopped at the mansion gates, then continued on to the mansion itself.
"Big brother? You going to be okay?" Mokuba asked as they headed inside. He frowned as the blue-eyed brunette nodded.
"I'll be fine, Mokuba. Don't worry. Get on to your homework."
"But.."
"Scoot, kiddo." As he watched the boy hop up the stairs after hugging him, he sighed as he shrugged off his trenchcoat and hung it up. What could he possibly do to help Jou? Otogi didn't want money, didn't want to duel. Just wanted to torment Jou. He was especially stuck on that one goal, and was determined to see it through. Unfortunately, for Otogi, so was he. It was just a point of getting one over on his black-haired rival.
********
Jou crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at Otogi coolly in an expression even Kaiba would applaud, with his signature deathglare. "What do you want from me? Tell me, so I can get this ridiculous act over and done with, and back to business." he growled as he watched the black-haired boy amble around lazily. "I've got better things to do than play games."
Oh, his words were brave, and cool, but inside, he was so unsure of what to do, how to act, what to expect. But he wouldn't let Otogi know that, the guy was arrogant enough.
Otogi turned his head to glance back at him, grinning innocently. "But I thought you liked games, Jou."
"Not this one." Jou growled, his eyes narrowing at the mischievious gleam in the blue-green ones. "You already knew that."
Otogi shrugged. "Makes no difference to me. Still my game, still my call."
"Baka." Jou muttered, glaring at Otogi's smirk. "Are you gonna gloat, or are you going to tell me what you want?"
A wide grin spread across the lips of the black-haired duelist as he tapped a fingertip against his cheek. "Both are fun, you know. But you want to know what I want..?"
"Yes!" Jou burst out in frustration as he prevented himself from pulling at his hair in fury. This was driving him crazy! Not knowing what Otogi had planned for him to do as his slave for a week..he prayed he wasn't going to get caught in a dog costume again, bet or no bet, he'd throttle the other if he was put in that thing again.
Otogi grinned and patted his head condescendingly. "Poor Jounouchi. You know, you shouldn't play with fire, you might get yourself burned."
Jou growled and jerked his head away. "Meaning..?"
"Meaning, you got yourself into this. You only have yourself to blame for getting yourself in this predicament. You shouldn't have been so cocky and so eager to accept the duel and the bet without knowing what you were doing. You leapt into the game without thinking, and look at the price."
Jou blushed in embarrassment and nodded. He'd thought he'd had a handle on things, but he was so wrong. He'd underestimated his opponent and overestimated himself, and look what it had got him into.
"Okay, I understand. I see what you're getting at..I take responsibility for my actions, but isn't this a bit of overkill?"
Otogi smirked. "Nah. Think of it as payment for your foolishness, and some fun for me, as well."
Jou growled. "What in the hell do you want from me?!"
"Nothing..everything.."
"That's not an answer."
"That's the most you're going to get."
"Otogi..!" Jou protested, glaring at the black-haired boy.
"You're just going to have to find out, won't you?"
He growled. "School's starting again tomorrow. I suppose you're going to carry this into it, as well, since you just started going there recently."
Otogi grinned. "You read my mind."
Jou blushed in mortification at the thought. Having to go around, most likely waiting on his "master" hand and foot, doing whatever he wanted, in front of his friends, in front of classmates, teachers, everyone. He groaned and closed his eyes. "Please..isn't there some way to change your mind?" He did have some honor, after all.
"Now, now..you not going back on our deal, are you? The deal was to do whatever I wish for a week. If you can't handle it.."
Jou glared, his pride getting in the way. "I can handle whatever you dish out, bud! Bring it on."
Otogi smirked. "As you wish. Famous last words, you know."
Dark honey-brown eyes widened. Suddenly, he was wishing, very much, that it was Kaiba who held the leash, and not Otogi. Kaiba's moves, he could pretty much predict. A lot of taunting and name-calling, definitely some degrading gestures, but he'd let him go for the sake of his friends and for Mokuba. His pride would be bruised, but he'd get over it.
Otogi, however..he was another story. He had no clue what to expect from him. And that could lead to his downfall. As far as he knew, Otogi had no weaknesses. He didn't want to be in this situation with Otogi whatsoever. Strange as it sounded, he wanted it to be Kaiba instead of Otogi who had the control. As masochist as that sounded. He didn't want to be dominated by anyone, but he'd rather it be the devil he knew than the devil he didn't.
He snorted at his black-haired opponent, rolling his eyes. "I'm not scared of you."
"You should be. You're under my command, after all. I could make you do anything I wished."
"Not without a fight, you wouldn't. Besides, if I can take on Seto Kaiba, then you should be a piece of cake."
Otogi smirked. "But I outfoxed the CEO of KaibaCorp, doesn't that tell you something?"
"Hai, it tells me that you're not to be trusted. But I'm not scared of you."
"You will be."
"Never."
"We'll see."
And suddenly, with those words, Jou was afraid. And dreading the day to come as Otogi left him to himself for the night.
