Sorry for not writing so long. Thing is I would probably delay even longer and keep my laziness up if it had not been for the magnificent writer Innocence Within. If she didn't threaten me, who knows when I would have updated again.

Enjoy the chapter, and be sure to thank Innocence Within

Jounouchi's POV

"Man... who woulda guessed the first girl I ever ask out totally rejects me?" I kept walking down the street, Mai's surprised expression flashing over and over again before my eyes. Her bright blonde hair curled at the ends, vivid purple eyes that showed her fiery spirit... her soft red lips, waiting to be kissed.... And her gigantic boobs! Hey, I may be in love with her but I am still a pervert!

I sighed heavily as my humor quickly disappeared. My vision became blurry... why? Oh...that's why. I raised my sleeve and wiped my eyes and held back a sob. Dammit, how does a toughened street punk and fourth place winner in Battle City get beaten to the point of crying so easily by a girl? It's not right...

I looked up to find that my feet had carried me to Yuugi's house. All the lights were out. Oh yeah, they already left for their vacation... Oh well, I needed to be somewhere familiar but away from people. Grabbing the key hidden beneath the doormat, I stuck it in the lock and turned. I pushed the door open and then looked around. Cases full of cards and dice and figurines were everywhere. I just plopped down in the middle of the store and began to think... think about everything.

Seto's POV

3:00 read the little clock at the bottom of the screen. Stock charts and a portfolio reports were above it. I dragged my mouse to the start button and clicked "Shut down." It was late, even by my standards. I yawned and looked over my shoulder. A brown haired girl lay sleeping on the bed. Her chest rose slowly and her lips were slightly parted. Her breath was louder than normal.

"Onii-chan..." She whispered in her sleep. Poor girl, even in her dreams she has to suffer being with that guy. Since she was in this room, guess that means I should go to her room to sleep. I pulled the blanket over the brunette before I walked out the door.

Walking across the hall, I entered Shizuka's room. It was... pink. Stuffed animals and papers littered the room. Sighing, I took off my shirt and pants and then got into bed, pulling the sheets up. A faint smell of strawberries hung in the room... hmm she doesn't smell half bad...

Jounouchi's POV

"Oh Jounouchi... please be gently, I'm still a virgin" Vivian Wong# spoke softly, blushing.

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle...the first time at least." I grinned as she laughed and took me into her arms. My hand slid slowly towards her...

I opened my eyes to stare face to face with a poster of a Kuriboh. I blinked once and realized where I was, Yuugi's place. That means... man! That was only a dream? So not cool...

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Apparently I fell asleep on the floor of the Kame game shop. It was still pitch black. It was also silent, 'cept for a ticking of a clock. I looked towards the noise and squinted. 3:15. The floor was nice, it felt so much better than a chair. Did I feel any better than before? Not at all, my insides still felt twisted and that feelin' you get where your stomach is nauseous but empty all at once? And your heart is pounding and feels like its gonna kill you but you can't die? Yea... I still had that feeling. I stood up and straightened my coat. I should head home. I walked towards the door and looked back into the shop before I left. Everything was the way I left it. Well, everything except the puddle of water where I had been. Probably drooling in my sleep... certainly not crying over Mai or my sister or anything of that sort...

Streets all deserted. Not even a car drove by. I yawned loudly, walking by the movie theatre. All the lights were off though. Man, this city really goes out when it becomes night. I mean, why should anybody be out?

"They are all at home with their loved ones!" I punched the door next to me leaving a dent and also me with a very sore hand. "DAMMIT!" I kicked over a trashcan, leaving it in the middle of the road. Dunno why, but that sight made me even angrier. When I knocked it down, it didn't get back up. It couldn't get back up, I mean how easy would it be if when you were knocked down just to stay there?! But noooo, when I am knocked down I gotta keep walking, keep smiling. I gotta get up every fucking time!

Sometimes, it feels like I gave up happiness for survival.## I mean all the times I helped that girl and she still goes and rejects me! My age? No that did not matter. My maturity? She always said it was cute how I acted. Was she just leading me on? I mean that would be a pretty screwed up thing to do, but then again I don't know the girl that well. I mean I thought I did but this just shows exactly how much I know about Kujaku Mai. Love is such a joke, at least for me.

Oh look, home so soon. I sighed, walking into the apartment building. At least my sis was there for me. I mean at least now she was. Kaiba would probably take her away from me... No! I'd never let that happen to her! She's the one thing in this world worth saving. There used to be two, but now there was one. I clenched my fists at the thought of that damn woman. How could she do that to me? I saved her life...

The door opened with a creak. Lucky it was a quiet one. All lights were out. Good, I wasn't expecting my sis or Kaiba to be up this late. I walked to my sister's room to check up on her. I peeked in the room and though it was really hard to see, I made out a bit of brown hair sticking out of the covers. Seems she got herself into bed all right. I walked into the room and lowered the covers and did what I always do when I tuck her in and say goodnight. I gave her a kiss on the forehead as she let out a pretty manly snore. I grinned a little, guess my sis is not as charming as all the boys think.

I left her room and went to mine, pulling the covers over my head. Why the hell did that blonde girl still plague my thoughts?! Why won't she leave? I turned over and let out a sniffle. Is it wrong to love? It turns the strongest people into weaklings... I mean just look what happened to me. I have no idea how I'm gonna deal with this. All my friends were away so I had no one to talk to. The only person I knew around here from school was a total ass. What the hell am I going to do? What can I do? Nothing. Things got blurry again but this time it wasn't tears blotting out my vision, it was sleep.

I didn't dream.
