Disclaimer~ Last time I checked I didn't own Yu-Gi-Oh. Wonder if it has changed yet...

Me~ Another chapter!!!!! And I have 22 reviews!!!! So happy! (author faints)

Myself~ What in the world? -_-;

I~ She got 22 reviews. That is more then she has ever gotten.

Myself~ And this is only the third chap. I wonder how many she is going to get by the time this story ends.

I~ Have no idea. All I know is that this story is going to be really long, so I would say closer to 80 maybe.

Myself~ And the author does like it when people review more then once. It shows that you like her story past the last chap you read.

I~ We need to wake the author up!!!!!

Myself~ Why?

I~ Some one won the contest again!!!

Myself~ Ok I will wake the author up this time. But why do I have to!!! (whining)

I~ Cause I did it last time!!!!

Myself~ No you didn't!

I~ I did to cause I said so! Now just wake her up so we can get to the story.

Myself~ Fine (mumbles something about a bossy yami) (splashes cold water on Me, who does not want to wake up)

I~ Fine I am going to do this myself! (flashed pics of many anime hotties with out any shirts on in front on Me)

Me~ I am up and awake. Give me those pics!!!!!!

I~ Not until you say who won the contest.

Me~ Ok. I love Bakura won the contest. Well I was confused of what person she was referring to, but hey. She wins cause she bothered to read the author notes.

Myself~ So who is she going on a date with?

Me~ Bakura.

Bakura~ NO! No way! Not in any of your directional minds I am not doing this!

Me~ I am going to convince him. Onto the fic! (finally)

Run no More Chap 3~Decision

Jou hobbled into the school with many gasps from the other students. He looked like a wreck or some one tried to kill him seven times over. His ankle was in a huge plaster like cast, his head and neck where wrapped in bandages and thick gaws.

"What in the world!" Anzu screeched as Jou hobbled up on his crutches.

"It's nothing. I fell down the basement steps." He lied to everyone. Yami gave a look of I-know-your-lying. Jou shrugged it off and was about to go until something dawned on him.

"Where's Yug?" He asked. Every one gave him puzzled looks before Yami spoke up and motioned for him to follow.

"What's up?" Jou asked oblivious to what he as about to be told.

"Yugi saw." Was all Yami started with.

'Saw what?" Jou asked still dumbfounded.

"What happened to you. What your father did." Yami said in a dangerous tone. Jou almost fell over and off his crutches.

"How?...when?...is he ok?" Jou asked wide-eyed.

"When you left a book at Yugi's house he decided to return it to you. How he is...well he didn't get much sleep last night and didn't want to go to school." Yami said looking distressed.

"Out of all people, Yugi was the last person I wanted to find out about this." Jou said shifting the weight of his backpack.

"I have something to ask you. I already asked Kiba, but would you please stay with him until we can deal with your father." Yami asked and Jou went pale. Out of all the people Yami could ask, his number one enemy had to be the one.

"Why did you ask him!" Jou spat.

"He has the security to protect you and it would make Yugi feel better." Yami said giving him a death glare.

"If it will make Yug feel better then I'll do it." Jou sighed hanging his head.

"I need to go to class. See you later." Yami said walking away.

"Ok see you...wait when did you en-role?" Jou asked.

"I am going to school for Yugi. He doesn't want to miss any homework or notes." Yami said sarcastically before going to Yugi's history class.

"Better go and face the music." Jou thought hobbling off to his Japanese class. Seto was already in class reading a book. Which didn't surprise everyone. If he didn't leave foe school early he would get to wrapped up in his work and not bother to go to school. Which has happened a few times and Jou has never let him live that down. Seto heard the door slide open and the sound of crutches entering the classroom. He thought it was a sports star injured from last nights game. He almost dropped his book at what he saw. Jou strode in bandaged and bruised. Seto could see the bandage on his neck was already a deep crimson. The teacher gave a shriek when she looked up from her paper work.

"What happened!?" She screamed as she ran over to him.

"Nisachi I'm fine." Jou mumbled trying to brush her off. Jou was the only one who could call their Japanese teacher by her first name. Well outside of class. She had been his teacher since elementary school and she is his cousin a few times removed.

"You should move out of that place. Live with your mother." Osakisae-sensei reprimanded as she helped him with his bag.

"It's not that simple. Mother doesn't have guardianship anymore and pops has to be the one to allow it." Jou explained again.

"Your father won't allow you to live anywhere else. If you where 18 I would say come and live with me, but your not." She sighed rubbing her temples.

"Nisachi-san I'll be ok. Don't worry I can always find a way to escape." Jou smiled.

"You can come to my place if you need to. Stop going to that old warehouse." She snapped.

"He would suspect that. Don't worry I found a place." He said giving her a wink. She nodded and went back to her desk. Seto all this time was listening carefully. Then again what else would you expect?

" Dose that mean he has tried to escape multiple times?" Seto wondered looking at Jou.

"Also which warehouse where they talking about?" Japanese class was the same as normal. Well accept for the fact of everyone looking at the condition Jou was in. If he were in elementary school people would have shrugged it off. Also the fact that Jou passed out once didn't help much either. Osakisae-sensei ran to his side and almost yelled at him to go the nurse. Class ended and everyone rushed out. Jou left 10 minutes earlier so he wouldn't get killed in the hallways. They almost killed you with out needing a handicap. One could only imagine what would have happened to Jou if he didn't leave. All I can say is it would have been messy. Seto was taking his time getting ready to leave.

"He is staying with you?" She asked.

"By his decision. How did you know?"

"Just a hunch. Though I hope that means life gets better for him. She said distantly. Seto looked at her curiously before leaving to his study hall. The rest of the day was uneventful until the end.

"Are you staying?" Seto asked popping up out of nowhere. Jou jumped and turned around with fright in his eyes.

"Did I scare the dog?" Seto asked mocking him.

"Bite me." Jou growled.

"So are you staying or not?" Seto asked again annoyed.

"Only cause it would make Yug feel better." Jou scolded hobbling away.

"Loyal to his friends. So dog like." Seto mocked again. Jou took one of his crutches and hit Seto in the shin really, really hard. Jou could see from the corner of his eye Seto hopping from the pain in his leg making him smile. Both got to the limo without any further injuries. As Jou was putting on his seat belt he gave a shriek of pain. Seto and his driver bother covered their ears and gave him looks of annoyance.

"What was that for?" Seto asked really annoyed. Jou reluctantly lifted a bit of his shirt up revealing a large blue, black, green, purple and other colors that should not be natural on the body bruise. Seto gasped as he stared at the mark.

Bakura~ Ummmmm..........yea

I~ Are you going to do another contest again?

Me~ Yep once I think of the question. ^_^;

All~ (fall over)

Me~ What!!!!!

Myself~ Ok here is the question: Where did the author get the line "Just a hunch" from?

I~ A bit hard Myself.

Me~ Ok here is hint. It is one of the characters in card Captor Sakura or Card Captors.

Myself~ I wanted to give them a hard one. See if the people pay attention to the dialogues instead of the pretty faces.

I~ We all pay attention to the pretty faces more then what is coming out of their mouth.

Myself~ -_-;

I~ Ok translation time. Sensei means teacher and is used as an ending for a teachers name.

Me~ Thank you I. Ok please R&R. And you can e-mail your reviews too.

Myself~ All flames will be used to set random things on fire. Like a certain paper you keep neglecting to write.

Me~ (whistles innocently)

Myself~ -_-;
