Misura: I love you're stuff but I haven't been able to read anything recently. Thanks, glad I could make you giggle blushes
Uh, here's another part from me.
Jonouchi sat in silence as he felt the rumble of the engine beneath him. His head stood drooped as his hands trailed over the fabric that covered the back of the limo. It was stained from so many encounters in this very seat. Tom, the Australian driver of this limo had always been Seto's favorite.
"Where would you like to go kiddo?" His accent was strong and it made his Japanese sound thick. "Home? Yugi's? Honda's?"
"No Tom, take me to the mansion."
"Shoulda known, you always went there before, didn't you Katsuya." Tom was the only one who Jonouchi let call him by his first name, Katsuya.
"Yeah, it's the only home I got really."
"Personally, just between you and me, Katsuya, I'm a bit worried about the company. Noa won't take it over now and with a big meeting next week and no CEO it's gonna go down."
Jonouchi looked up shocked, his eyes meeting Tom's in the mirror. Kaiba Corp was going to collapse if something wasn't done. "Wait, Tom, does Kaiba Corp have any experts in make up and disguise?"
Tom slammed on the brakes, whipping around to glare at the blond. Mr. Kaiba had loved this boy more than anything in the world, Tom knew, but if Jonouchi was planning what he thought there would be an outrage if it was ever found out. Tom liked it.
"Hey!" Jonouchi looked up as he heard the voice. He had been early for class for the first time in his life.
Seto was just exiting his limo and waving good-bye to the huge, darkly tanned man in the driver's seat. "Hey Jou, wait up."
"You know, people are going to talk." Seto caught up to him and grabbed his hand, planting a soft kiss on him.
"Let them, puppy." Jonouchi turned as he heard the sound of catcalls from behind them. He groaned inwardly as he saw none other than Bakura, Honda, and Otogi. They had been going out for six months and since Seto had announced it on national television it was kind of hard to hide.
"Hey! Girls and guys are not allowed relationships!" The hall monitor was chasing two freshmen down across the field. He then looked up to see Jonouchi and Seto.
"Well, you never said two guys couldn't," Jonouchi teased. Everyone knew Ushio, the hall monitor was extremely homophobic.
"You're day is coming Jonouchi," he growled.
"Not wit my pretty, sexy, incredible dragon here to protect me," Jonouchi purred and Seto's face began turning a crimson color.
"Tom?" Jonouchi sat up in the back of the limo as he felt it come to a stop.
"Well, figure I'd help you get on your way on whatever you're planning."
"Thanks Tom," Jonouchi told him as the limo pulled over. He recognized the building as a field office of Kaiba Corp. Seto had once used it when his office was being remodeled.
"They're inside." Jonouchi nodded his head, feeling the pit in his stomach deepening. Sometimes he hated his life.
"Jonouchi!" Jonouchi heard Noa's voice raising him from his snooze. He didn't know how long he had been asleep.
"Hey Noa, how's it goin?" Jonouchi covered his yawn with his hand as he saw the blue haired boy standing over him.
"There's a mirror over there. Why don't you check for yourself?" Jonouchi nodded, getting to his feet. He approached the mirror, checking himself over. He cautiously touched the chestnut brown hair styled just like his lover's had always been. His facial features were sharper and the most surprising thing were the deep blue eyes.
"Amazing," Jonouchi whispered.
"Jou? You do know it's permanent, don't you?"
Jonouchi turned towards Noa. His now blue eyes threw a glare at Noa. "That's the point Noa. By the way I'm not Katsuya Jonouchi anymore, I'm Seto Kaiba." Jonouchi willed his face to an emotionless expression. This was going to be hard. Right now he just felt like breaking down and crying. But no, Seto Kaiba didn't cry.
"Man, we're good," Noa muttered as he shook his head. Even knowing it's hard to tell."
Jou grinned at the older man. "Let's head home."
Noa raised an eyebrow with an expression Jonouchi had remembered so well from Seto's face. "You are not going home like that and no smiling. From here on in you are Seto Kaiba, remember that. You don't care about anyone or anything besides Kaiba Corp, Mokuba, your boyfriend, and me."
Jonouchi nodded his head then looked up as some clothes were tossed at him. He pulled his nose up at the clothes and the trench coat. It was a warm September night. He was seriously going to sweat to death.
"You knew this was coming Jou. You're a cold CEO. You're better than everyone. Friends are beyond you and so are all those dregs. Your family and work are your life."
"I know that you idiot!" Jonouchi snarled at him. The glower on his face was partially because of the clothes he was wearing.
"You hate the media and all those idiots that call themselves your employees. You ace your classes on your own. I'll be tutoring you for the next couple of weeks because school doesn't start until then."
Jonouchi looked about ready to kill Noa. "School?"
"Yes, school."
Jonouchi finished his outfit with the high boots and blue trench coat. He was already sweating and itchy. 'I think I know why Seto was always in a bad mood. Man! How much starch do these clothes got!'
"Let's just get this over with Noa before I get in a worse mood."
Jonouchi stepped inside the huge mansion with Noa following a few steps behind. "Big brother!"
The black hair flew in a blur as Jonouchi felt the full weight of Mokuba hit him in the chest. At thirteen he was certainly growing up.
"They," the tears began to flood down his face as he stuttered. "They said you were dead Seto."
It took Jonouchi a moment to respond, or more correctly a sharp jab from Noa's elbow. Jonouchi stroked Mokuba's hair and then quickly let go of him. "I'll always be here for you Mokuba. I won't let you ever be hurt."
Mokuba nodded and then sat down, turning the tv on. He flipped through the channels and something on the news caught Jonouchi's eye.
"Hold it Mokuba." The raven haired boy nodded and stopped it on the news. The anchor was talking in front of a river.
"Today a body was pulled out of this very river. It seems that a teen has commited suicide by drowning." It switched to a picture of a young boy standing confidently with duel disk outstretched. His hair was a mess. Jonouchi covered his mouth as Mokuba looked worried over at him.
"Should I change it Seto?"
"No Mokuba."
"Eighteen-year-old graduate of Domino High School, Katsuya Jonouchi was found in the river. He was a star duelist in several tournaments. He was runner-up in Duelist Kingdom, in the top four in Battle City, and the winner of several Regional and National Championships. Back to you Joan."
The tv switched to a young woman standing with a whole group of people. "I'm here with a group of his friends. "We just never expected Jonouchi to go this far," Yugi was saying through his sobs. Everyone was trying to help him. Yami stroked his back comfortingly.
The anchor took over again. "This is a saddening story of how tragic youth is. A young boy takes his own life while mourning the death of his lover."
Jonouchi flipped the tv off. He didn't want to deal with this. It seemed his decision was made. He was and always would be Seto Kaiba.
