Chap 24~ Confrontation

Jou walked into the room collapsing onto the ocean comforter.

"This is a lot harder then it sounds." Jou muttered to himself, pressing his face into the bed. He glanced down to his pocket where the guardian ship paper was sticking out. He could hear Seto's voice telling him to just pick up the phone and get over it. Groaning in frustration he rolled over facing the phone. He pulled out the paper and brought the receiver to his ear.

"Hello this is DCF. How may I help you?" The receptionist giggled.

"My name is Jounouchi Katsuya. My mother, Aremara Nishire, would like to gain guardianship of me again. I want to know how to get a hold of her but I don't know the number and there is a restriction placed on me calling her." Jou timidly answered curling the phone cord around his finger until he was almost sure the circulation was cut off.

"Ah yes she mentioned that you may call. Please hold one moment while I connect you two." She seemed to smile he Jou was put on hold.

"What am I going to say to her? Its been so long since we last saw each other. I'm so confused."

"Hello Katsuya. Are you still there?" His mother answered sounding just as nervous and scared as he was.

"Hello mother." Jou squeaked out. She muttered something before actually talking into the receiver.

"It's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Recently ok." Jou wanted to kick himself for sounding so bland.

"That's good. Shinzuka is doing well."

"I got the papers. Why?!" Jou covered up the receiver as he let out a sob, tears flooding his vision.

"I want to make amends with you Katsuya. I was such a jerk back then, I was scared that you would end up like your father,: His mother started to cry.

"So you left me with him to make sure that I turned out like him."

"There was nothing else I could do. The apartment only allowed one child per family. Shinzuka and I would have had to move out."

"Shinzuka wouldn't have minded, I'm sure of that."

"I'm really sorry for what I did in the past, I really am. That's why I want to at least be your guardian, not a parent. I want to be a part of your life again. I know Shinzuka would love it if you would stay with us." Jou glared at the thought of leaving Seto's place.

"Please don't bring Shinzuka into this mother. I know she would love it, but I am not so sure about leaving where I am." Jou answered cuddling into Seto's pillow.

"Are you at a foster home?"

"I am staying at a friends house."

"Honda's place?"

"No different friend. Seto's."

"Well…" Jou could see her biting her nails looking completely uneasy.

"Do you think we could talk about this person to person? It may be easier." Jou suggested. The phone thing was not working for him.

"Yes, sure. When would you like to meet?" His question seemed to bring her out of a daze.

"Do you still know where the old park is? The one you took Shinzuka and I to all the time."

"Yes."

"How about tomorrow at four if that is ok with you."

"Yes that should be fine. See you then Katsuya."

"Bye mother." Jou hung up the phone and flopped off the bed.

"Need to tell Seto about this." Jou yawned as he walked down the main staircase. As he walked into the living room he saw Seto and Mokuba playing an intense video game. They where both racing each other and Mokuba was in the lead, but Seto didn't look like he was giving up anytime soon. Jou smiled and watched from the back of the couch.

"Bwahahaha! I am going to beat you sooo badly Seto." Mokuba taunted, actually sounding evil.

"Sorry kid but I am a Kaiba and I have a rep to fulfill." Seto smirked.

"Well you are going to need to fulfill it another day for I have won!" Mokuba boasted striking a victory pose.

"Best two out of three." Seto proposed.

"Now you sound like me." Mokuba laughed as Jou caught his eye.

"Afraid that you can't beat me again?" Seto taunted back, victory gleaming in his eyes.

"Maybe later. I think some one wants to see you." Mokuba motioned to where Jou was standing before walking out.

"What's wrong?" Seto propped himself up on the back of the couch. Jou gave a sob, throwing his arms around Seto's neck kissing him passionately.

Me~ So what do you people think Jou should do? Accept his mothers offer or not?

Myself~ I think you should get me out of this cage.

Me~ That wasn't part of the choices.

I~ Still bouncing up and down.

Me~ Well please R&R and byes for now!
