Rowan: And now, chapter three. I'm gonna cut to the chase. I don't own YGO! and this is yaoi. There, warned! Oh, and thanks to all whom reviewed! And it's not "Friends" and "Duel"! Keep guessing!

Life's Little Treasures

Jou glared at Kaiba. "What's wrong with the way I put her diaper on?" he asked, irritated.

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "You put it on backwards you dolt!"

"So? At least it's on! And don't call me dolt! It's not a nice word and we don't want to be teaching Kismet bad words!"

"I'll call you whatever I like!" Kaiba snapped. "Now pay attention, I'm going to show you the proper way to put on a diaper." Kaiba pulled Jou next to him, so they were standing side-by-side next to the changing table. "And there! It's on correctly."

Jou stared at Kaiba. "Where'd you learn to do that?"

"It's not all that hard!" Jou looked at him skeptically. "Well, I took Home Ec for an elective one year in junior high," Kaiba admitted. "But don't you dare tell anyone! You hear me mutt?"

"What did I tell you about calling me mutt!" Jou yelled.

"And I told you I'll call you anything I want!" Kaiba retorted.

Just then, Kismet started crying, her peace and quiet having been disturbed by the two of them yelling. Jou scurried over to her and lifted her up in his arms, cooing and rocking her back and forth in his arms. Soon Kismet was asleep once, curled up against Jou, who sat down on the couch with her. Kaiba sat down beside Jou and watched Kismet, stroking her small little golden locks. They sat in silence for a while, until the front door opened and in walked…

Mokuba. He had been over at his friend's house studying and dueling. When he saw the two archrivals on the couch together he said, "Aw. You two look like a nice happy wittle family. How cute." Kaiba and Jou instantly recoiled, shocked and disgusted looks on their faces. Mokuba only laughed. "Too bad I didn't have my camera. I'm sure Yuugi and the others would have loved to have some pictures of you three! Of course, they'd probably be asking when the marriage was..." Kaiba leaped off the couch and started chasing his little brother around.

"Take that back Mokuba!" Mokuba just continued laughing. "I was just kidding onii-san! Just kidding!" Finally, Kaiba gave up and flopped back down on the couch, away from Jou of course.

"So, what do you think about dinner?" Kaiba suggested.

Mokuba smiled. "Yeah! I'm starving!"

"Well, what do you want? Pizza sound good?"

"Yay! Pizza! I'll order!"

Mokuba skipped out of the room, leaving Kaiba and Jou by themselves. "So…How was Kismet today? What did you do?"

"If you're thinking I mistreated her or something you're wrong Kaiba-kun. I know how to take care of a kid, well, not the diaper thing, but everything else I can do! I took care of Shizuka when she was a baby and a little girl, so I think I can handle Kismet just as well as you can Kaiba!" Jou said defensively.

"Jeez, I was just wondering! She's mine too you know!"

"She's ours to take care of, but ours? I don't think so."

"Let Kismet decide."

"How?"

"She can talk, can't she?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know? I ain't the one who took Home Ec classes!"

Kaiba shrugged. "True, but when Mokuba was about Kismet's age he was talking. What about Shizuka?"

Jou thought. "Yeah, I guess you're right. She was about ten, eleven months old. But she didn't say much today. Oh, she said 'goo' when she was hungry, 'waa' when she was thirsty, 'bay' when she wanted to play, but that's about it."

"Hmm. Well, it's a start I suppose." Just then Mokuba came bouncing back in. "Pizza'll be here in twenty minutes. I hope you like pepperoni and mushrooms Katsuya-kun."

"That sounds fine Mokuba. I'll feed Kismet now." Jou stood up and started walking towards the kitchen when Kaiba intercepted him. "May I? I'd like to spend sometime with Kismet, if you don't mind."

Jou shrugged his shoulders. "You'll have plenty of time this evening and in the morning. I'm going home in about an hour so…"

Kaiba looked slightly downcast. "Oh, I thought you'd want to stay here to be near Kismet, but if you're going home I guess that's okay too."

Jou blinked. "Oh, I can stay? Alright then, if you're absolutely sure."

"Kismet would want that I think." Kaiba bent over to pick Kismet up. His head was centimeters from Jou and the blond felt his breathing hitch when he inhaled the scent of Kaiba's shampoo. 'Lavender. Smells real nice.' Kaiba then whisked Kismet into the kitchen for her supper.

Mokuba smiled knowingly at Jou. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he questioned.

"Because I know who F&D are!"

"F&D? Who told you about that?"

"I found the note. And Rowan's hint."

"Who the hell is Rowan?"

"Opps! Forget I said that!"

"Ookaay…So, who are F&D?"

"Not telling." Mokuba handed Jou a sheet of paper. "But here's a clue."

Jou read the paper which said: 'F_ _ _ & D _ _ _ _ _ _: means the same as karma.'

'Oh crap. Fill in the blank. I'm terrible at this. Maybe Kaiba'll know what it is.'

~*~&~*~&~*~

Can you figure it out now? Well, you'll have the whole fic to figure it out!

Next chapter: Jou's dream! And what a dream it'll be! Hehehe!

Jou: *looks very worried *

Oh, and you know how it's Kaiba, not Seto?  Well, that'll change once they fall in love.

Seto: Really?  Good.  Because with Kaiba you make it sound like the story's focus is on Jou.

The story's focus is on Jou!

Seto: Oh.

And why does it say 'Seto'?  It's supposed ta be 'Kaiba'!

Kaiba: Sorry.  Anyway, about Jou's dream…am I in it?

Not telling!

Kaiba: That means yes! 

Heh heh.  Anyway, until next time!  Please leave a review!
