The Truth

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Mr. Takahashi does (lucky duck!) Since I am not Mr. Takahashi, I can't possibly own it.

AN: Thank you to those who reviewed. I really appreciate it. @ I luv Yugi and Kurt so :P: I think I e-mailed you but this is for everyone who read your review and now thinks this story is R*B. It isn't. I mean, c'mon, how much action can I do when one of them is a cat, y'know? Nope, you'll know what pairing I'm doing when you discover the POV of this chapter!

"Talking"

Chapter 2

Jounouchi 'Cat'suya

Jou's POV:

I strolled down the street searching for someone to hang out with. Unfortunately no one was around. I walk by the Game Shop and realize that I have not seen or spoken to Yuugi or Yami for the whole of the summer so far. I walk to the door and go inside. The shop is dark and it's relatively quiet, mainly because the store's closed. It's been closed since Yuugi's Grandpa died at the beginning of summer. I and the others felt really sorry for Yug, and tried to help him, but he wouldn't let us. He brushed Honda, Anzu, and I off when we attempted to comfort him. Well, he's been hiding for too long. It's time he came out of his shell.

I walk into the back of the store and into the store. I see a flash of white go up the stairs, then, a few seconds later, a loud crash, which is quickly followed by someone yelling "Yami! Yuugi! What the hell is going on?" I know that voice, that's Ryou's yami, Bakura. I also know that he never calls Yami by his name and hardly ever acknowledges Yuugi, so to hear him shout both startles me. What is he doing here anyway? I run up the stairs to find Bakura standing in Yuugi's doorway, a large box with holes in it clenched in his hand.

"Bakura? What are you doing here?" I ask him. He turns around to face me and I see he has a cat in that box. "Say, when'd ya get the cat?" I say.

Bakura snarls at me. "That's no cat, that's Ryou!"

"Wha? What do ya mean that's Ryou? Last I recall Ryou was human!"

"Well he was until an hour ago. One moment he was human, then Poof! He was a cat!"

"What did you do?" I ask suspiciously. I mean, I figured it was magic of some kind and the only magic wielders I know of are the yamis of Yuugi, Ryou, and Malik.

"I didn't do anything! I mean, no matter how cute Ryou is as a cat-" Bakura ranted, then stopped as the realization of what he just said hit us both.

"Oh my god! Did you just say cute? Hahaha!" I say, not even trying to hide my mirth.

I definitely hit the yami's wrong buttons because Bakura suddenly lunged at me, grabbing my collar and throwing me against the wall, hissing, "If you ever tell anyone that I said that you'll regret the day you were born, understand?" I quickly nod my head.

"It's safe with me," I reply. "But what about Yami and Yuugi?" I inquire, remembering that we are in their house, in front of their room no less.

Bakura lets go of my shirt and steps back. "Oh, they won't tell," he says mysteriously.

"Why not? What did you do to them?" I growl.

"Nothing! Somebody beat me to it! Apparently the same person who got to my hikari."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Bakura pushes me towards their room. "See? Yami and Yuugi are cats as well."

So, um, how is it? Tell me in a review please!

Oh, and what are your thoughts on a Jou* Bakura pairing? Because that's what this story is going to be. Just thought you ought to know!
