Colors swirled about him.

Dark oranges, deep reds, and angry grays, creating an inviting affect as numb fingers reached for its core.

The hand recoiled as a black hole emerged from within, growling venomously as it sucked in a powerful breath.

 Amber eyes widened as he stared into the void. Could this be real? His stomach lurched. It sure felt it.

Jou hadn't the time to think through the most recent events as he was pulled into the chasm, the beautiful colors dispersing, his mind clouding over…

A gasp was emitted from the depths of his throat, as he fell to the ground with a thud.

***

His head hurt. Jou grumbled in acknowledgement as he rubbed his head, rays of light running clear across his eyes.

He growled in annoyance as he turned over, feeling the arms of another encircle him, he smiled into the embrace before leaning down to kiss…an Adam's apple?

Jou's eyes snapped open as he squirmed timidly, taking in the brown hair, the slightly arched eyebrows, and the shapely, cleanly shaven face of…Seto Kaiba.

Jou squeaked unnaturally as he frantically went to the hands hugging him, attempting to pry his worst enemy off of him.

A groan was emitted from the taller boy and cerulean eyes slowly opened to meet amber ones.

"It's…you!" Cried Jou as he brought his nails down to scrape desperately against Kaiba's tough skin.

Said man laughed, kissing the blonde's forehead in the process, earning yet another squeak.

"Go back to sleep, pup…It's only…9:00 in the morning…" Mumbled the CEO, taking a fleeting glance at the alarm clock upon the nightstand, before his eyes shot wide open.

"Shit!" Cried the brunette. And before Jou could ask why he was there, Kaiba had shot up from the bed, clad in only a form-fitting white shirt and blue silk boxer shorts.

Jou stared on wide-eyed as Kaiba scrambled about the large, breath-taking room, collecting and slipping on expensive-looking clothing as he did so.

"Pup, sorry for the inconvenience, although I had a wonderful time last night…" Winked the CEO as he bent down to touch the blonde's cheek with a light kiss.

Jou felt a gag coming on at that last comment, his stomach thrashed wildly at the kiss.

"I'll try to be quick at the office. And, please try not to wake Aiko this time…" Mumbled the brunette as he shrugged the Navy blue suit jacket on, straightening his tie to perfection soon after.

"Aiko?" Questioned the blonde, in a tone dripping with fear.

The brunette before him chuckled, before he'd lowered a hand to cover the shorter boy's forehead.

"Are you sick?" He questioned, although when he received no response from the blonde, his expression became more serious.

"Our daughter…" The CEO shook his head as confusion flashed across his features when another squeak was his reply.

"Are you really that sick, Katsuya?" Kaiba had questioned, receiving an alarming slap to the hand, which had been aiming to caress Jou's flushed cheeks.

"Since when do you call me by my first name?" Ground out the blonde, as the brunette who towered above him looked down in shock.

"What's gotten into you, Jou? I've been calling you Katsuya since before we…" The CEO truly looked hurt as he trailed off looking at his silver wristwatch, the watch itself proving his wealth.

"Listen, Jou…I'm not sure what's going on with you, but I have a meeting to get to in 30 minutes. I'll have Maria bring you up some soup…will that make you feel better?" Questioned the brunette, running a hand from beginning of Jou's hairline, running past his bangs, his hand moving to the side of his face, down to caress his chin.

"I'll give a call to Shizuka as well. She can come by and take care of Aiko while your resting. And I mean resting…I know Mokuba's out of school for the time being, and we're all happy to see him, but no video games…do you hear me?" Scolded the CEO as he pulled the covers securely around Jou's body.

Before he knew it, Jou was nodding numbly at Kaiba's request as he lay back down. Maybe if he fell asleep, he would wake up with Mai in his arms…and this would be one of those weird dreams you forget about over time.

Jou sighed as he allowed Kaiba to fuss over him like a mother hen.

"Now…you rest. I'll be back around 3." Smiled the brunette at his own handiwork as he bent down to kiss Jou's forehead once more, when a hand stopped him.

"I'd rather you not do that…" Mumbled the blonde; ignoring the damaged look the brunette gave him.

Said brunette had then slung his trench coat over one shoulder and picked up his metal briefcase.

"Goodbye…" Seto had whispered sadly as he exited the room, his words going unnoticed by the exhausted blonde.

***

Jou tossed and turned about as he dreamt of Mai, who had only been in their bed, in his arms yesterday.

He remembered the feel of her hair, the feel of her kiss, and the sparkle in her violet eyes when they found Katsuya's own.

He was so happy…wasn't he?

Jou mumbled in his sleep as he dreamt of this, unaware of the figure approaching him, A bowl at hand.

***

Maria stood by Jou's bed, her face twisted in confusion as she looked to the seemingly upset boy. It was when she had nodded to the boy's last question that made the blonde explode. Causing her to reel back, in fear of his discontentment.

"We-…we're…we're married?!" Cried the blonde in frustration as he ran a shaking hand through his flaxen locks; taking in what information he had just received from one of Kaiba's servants.

"And…I have a kid?" He inquired, his mind a huge mess as he gathered the lining of the comforter around him, hugging it close as he stared up into 'Maria's' confused brown eyes.

"Um… H-hai, Mr. Kaiba…" She nodded in response, frightened by his antics.

"Mr. …Mr. Kaiba?!" Sputtered the blonde as his eyes widened immensely.

"Gomen nasai, Katsuya-kun." Maria, afraid of what the blonde would do, had opted for his first name instead of his last.

"Oh Ra…" Jou whispered as he fell back against the stretch of pillows below him, inhaling the scent of Miso soup as well, before he'd turned back to Maria.

"Tell me, then…" The blonde trailed off, looking down at the blue silk comforters.

Maria looked on, perplexed by the boy's sudden actions. He had always come off as a perfectly stable individual, with an attitude of course… Could it be that he had come down with a minor case of amnesia? But how? The maid's thoughts were suddenly shattered as Katsuya's voice broke through, turning her attention back on him.

"Do I lo-" Jou's voice died down as soon as a sharp rapping was heard upon his door, causing the maid to twist around, and Jou to peer over his covers.

"Katsuya?" Questioned a voice, the blonde's eyes went wide.

((A/N:: Aww…poor, confused, little Jou… ^^. Well, I hope you liked this chapter! I'll try to get the next one up as soon as I can! And, sorry if it was kind of sloppy this time, I had a lot on my mind… Thanks for reading it, though! Review? Questions? Did I go too fast? Anything? ^^;))
