Kiawna: And we are back. Thank you all for your reviews and help. Just to let people know. I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh. ::pouts:: I wish I did.
Orli: She won't mention that she started writing this before she saw the reviews for the chapter that hasn't even been posted yet.
Kiawna: ::shrinks behind Kadsuki:: Your point.
Orli: ::sighs:: I don't think I have one. So, on with this Chapter?
Kiawna: ::nods:: Any ways, for the current duel, I hope it will make sense, because I haven't read the Manga, so I'm not exactly sure how to write it properly and I am just writing, not really knowing what I am writing.
Orli: You mean improvising?
Kiawna: Of course that is what I mean. -- The duel will be hard though, will Kazu-chan help? He is in a manga.
Kadsuki: I don't even know what the story is about.
Kiawna: Oh well. I still luv yeah. ::glomps him again and clings to him::
Orli: ::sighs again:: why do you give him so much attention?
Kiawna: Because, he is very special.
Orli: ¬.¬ right.
Kiawna: Eh, your just jealous.
Orli: ::tries to change subject:: Where is Yami?
Kiawna: Oh, he is only in the end notes now. Kazu-chan is in the beginning and Yami is in the end. He does my review begging for me But he gets a doll afterwards.
Kadsuki: What do I get for being here?
Kiawna: .
Orli: You'll have to wait until next chapter, sorry.
Kiawna: .
Kadsuki: ¬.¬ Fine, but I won't like it. On with this chapter.
Kiawna: .
Chapter 5: On to the Project. And other HW
Kaiba couldn't believe it. Joey was able to get all 3 of his Blue Eyes and his Hyozanryu out in one turn. He knew he should have separated the Flutes better. He just gaped at Joey. He was just smiling. 'I believe I am going to have to help him with his deck.' He thought to himself. 'Although, seeing that smile does make things a bit better.' He looked down at his deck, wondering what else was in there. Kaiba drew a card, Panther Warrior. That wasn't going to help me. It needed a sacrifice to attack. 'Damn. What do I have that will help?' Time Wizard was in his hand. And if he remember correctly from watching Joey's duels, then he could use Time Wizard to age Baby Dragon. 'I can do that, then I can beat Lord of D at least. Or even Hyozanryu because it only has 2100 attack power. Thousand Dragon has 2400.' He thought then said out loud. "Alright Joey. I will use your favorite move. Time Wizard combined with Baby Dragon to make Thousand Dragon." He saw Joey smile. "Thousand Dragon attacks your Lord of D. I then place 2 cards face down and that ends my turn." He finished. 'To summon Crab Turtle, I will need to sacrifice two monsters whose level equals 8 or more.' Kaiba sighed. He had a feeling he was going to finish me off next turn.
Joey looked at the 2 cards face down. 'He probably has one trap.' He thought, 'But I don't have traps that can take out the monster I am about to summon.'
He looked at Kaiba's blue eyes. They were looking at his hand right now. He really was kind of hot when he played Duel Monsters. Joey shook the thought out of his mind. 'Stop it Wheeler. What would he think if he looked this way and you were drooling, especially over his cards.' It was true, he would probably kill him. "Ok, my turn." He drew a trap. "I use polymerization to combine all three Blue Eyes White Dragons to summon, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon." If they were using the Duel Discs it would have been so much sweeter. However, we weren't. So, he summoned the Ultimate dragon. 'I can't attack right away, but next turn.' He laid down the trap card. "I set one card face down and end my turn."
'This is not good.' He thought as Joey summoned Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. 'He sure knows how to use a dragon deck though.' Kaiba drew his card. Another monster, Tiny Guardian. 'Where are all his high leveled monsters?' He wondered. "I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn. 'I won't attack because he probably laid a trap down that could take out Thousand Dragon, leaving me wide open for an attack by Blue Eyes. All he would have to do is attack Tiny Guardian with Hyozanryu then it would be over.'
After Kaiba ended his turn, Joey drew his card. A monster card that would be needed. "First, I summon Blackland Fire Dragon in attack mode. I then use Monster Reborn to bring back Lord of D." He said, making himself not laugh at the astonishment on Seto's face. "I use Lord of D to attack your face down card." He sent his Tiny Guardian to the graveyard. "I then use Blue Eyes to attack your Thousand Dragon." He sent that to the grave as well. "Finally, I use Blackland Fire Dragon and Hyozanryu to attack your life points directly. Making me the winner." He jumped up happily. It was the first, and probably only time he would be able to beat him. Joey looked over at him when he was finished doing his little happy dance. Kaiba didn't seem angry. Instead he was putting the cards back in the deck.
"Why aren't you yelling at me? Saying I cheated or something?" Joey asked somewhat confused by Kaiba's behavior. Normally he wouldn't accept losing so easily. "What cards did you have face down?"
Kaiba don't know why he didn't use Graceful Dice when he attacked Thousand Dragon. 'I guess I just wanted him to have the satisfaction of beating me once.' He thought 'True, normally I wouldn't accept losing so easily, but it was just the joy he brought, that I would never show, to me when he was happy.' He looked up at Joey when he asked which cards were face down. "Um, Graverobber, Turtle Oath and some other magic card. I forgot which one it was."
Joey looked at him suspiciously. "Was it Graceful Dice?" He asked. Kaiba looked away from those beautiful golden-brown eyes. "Kaib-no, Seto." His head snapped up to look at Joey. 'Did he just call me Seto?' He looked back at him determined to know the truth. Kaiba just couldn't lie to him. Not after he called him by his first name and he sounded so serious. He nodded. He wished he hadn't because after he did, it was like he killed Joey's spirit. He collapsed on the chair. "You could have beat Blue Eyes." He said quietly, "No matter what the role. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon is only 4500. Thousand dragon's attack, would have gone above it. Why didn't you use it?"
'Why? It is because I enjoy it when you are happy. I love it when you are bouncing around so filled with life, but now, I shot that joy with the truth. I should never have given that simple nod.' Kaiba thought, hating himself for telling the truth. "I guess I forgot I laid it down." He lied. "Besides, it was getting late and we still have to work on our project."
He looked at his watch. It was already 8 o'clock. Convincing Joey to duel and actually dueling took 2 hours. Wow, time flies. "Okay. You won. Do you want me to look through your deck to make it better?" Joey just stared at Kaiba. Those eyes seemed to be filling with tears. His heart nearly broke seeing this. He had helped him win. This meant that it was a false victory. Kaiba looked away from him.
"Jou, I'm." He started, not believing he was about to apologize to someone other than Mokuba, "I'm sorry. I should never have gone easy on you. Your deck is pretty good." Joey looked at him. He wasn't sure, but he thought he saw a spark of joy in them.
"You mean it?" He asked. Kaiba nodded, "Plus you know how to use my deck pretty well too." He smiled and the guilt lifted, the smile was back, just by saying sorry and something nice. 'Gee, maybe I should try that more often.' He looked at him, trying, and of course, succeeding, to hide my joy. "Ok, now we should really start looking for the answers to these questions." Kaiba prompted as he took out the question list. Joey looked at him and nodded.
Kaiba went to the computer to look the answers to the questions up while Joey worked on the title for the poster.
Joey grabbed a pencil from his bag and began to write "Jupiter" in big block letters on the construction paper. Joey was a pretty good artist, so he made the letters look all fancy. When he was done placing each letter on a different color piece of construction paper, he took his scissors and cut them out carefully. After he finished that, he grabbed his textbook and got a good look at Jupiter before drawing it on the poster board and coloring it with shiny pencil crayons that Kaiba supplied. When he was satisfied that it looked like Jupiter he placed each letter going across the middle of the planet. As soon as he had glued it down, he decided to do his math. It was 9:00pm, which meant he had an hour to get home.
When he took out his textbook for math, he looked at the questions. 'I can't do these!' He thought, 'They are too hard.' He opened his note/workbook to look at his notes, but wasn't very surprised to see that he didn't have any. In the place of notes was the Blue Eyes White Dragon he had drawn while daydreaming during class. 'Damn it. I knew I should have been paying attention.' He looked at the drawing, then looked at the owner of it. 'He resembles a Blue Eyes.' He determined. 'I love his eyes. They are such a beautiful-wait, did I say love his eyes.' Joey looked at the owner of the eyes he was talking about and smiled, 'They are beautiful, although they can be cold at times.' He looked back at his drawing and started to fix up the Blue Eyes by shading it in and making it look better.
'Damn these questions.' Kaiba thought as he surfed the net trying to find the answers. 'What is the point of doing this any ways?' He looked over at his partner who was coloring in a very good resemblance of the actual planet. 'He is a very good artist.' He thought as he looked at the blonde coloring. 'Why does he have to bite his bottom lip like that though? He looks so innocent. Is he trying to seduce me? Not that that would be a bad thing.' His eyes widened and he turned back to the computer, 'No, I don't want the puppy to seduce me, I don't have feelings for the puppy.' He continued to say this to his mind, but he soon found himself looking up Red- Eyes Black Dragon on E-bay. 'What the hell? Why am I looking up Red-Eyes on e-bay?'
He didn't see a resemblance between Joey and Red-Eyes. 'They are totally opposite.' He thought. 'My puppy isn't fierce like Red-Eyes.' A tint of red came up in his cheek, 'Damn.' He rested his head in his palms. 'Why am I denying it?' He asked himself and lifted his head to look at Joey who had already finished the first part of his job and he was writing something down in his workbook.. 'I like Joey.' He smiled as he looked at Joey. 'He is probably attempting to do Math.' Kaiba thought as he saw the Math textbook opened to the page for homework. He continued to watch Joey scribble in his book. When Joey lifted his head he quickly went back to searching for answers. "Uh, Kaiba?" He heard Joey say. 'No, go back to calling me Seto.' He thought as he looked at Joey and answered, "What is it?"
"Could you possibly help me with this homework." Joey asked, "I really don't get math." Kaiba sighed and went to sit beside Joey thinking that he could use a break from finding those answers any ways. "What do you need hel-" He stopped asking when he saw the drawing of Blue Eyes. "J-Joey, did you draw this?" Joey blushed and nodded shyly. "It is awesome. I have never seen a drawing this good before."
"Aw, it's nothing." He replied sounding a bit embarrassed at the compliment. 'Wow, 2 compliments in one day. Is he trying tell me something.' Joey thought about it, then shook it off, 'Nah that would make my day way better than it already is. Hmm, maybe I can give him a hint.' He took the drawing out of his notebook. "Here." He handed it to Kaiba. "You can have it." Kaiba looked at him surprised.
"But, Joey, you drew it. You deserve to keep it." Kaiba protested, but secretly wanted to take it. Joey shrugged his shoulders and licked his dry lips. 'I wonder what those lips taste like?' Kaiba thought.
"Honestly, I want you to have it. I drew it during Math, as you can see, I have no notes on today's homework." He rubbed the back of his head and was blushing as Kaiba took the picture. "I was daydreaming as I drew it. I didn't know what I was really drawing until I saw it at the end of class. I get like that sometimes. I think about people or things and draw something to resemble them without knowing it." He covered his mouth and the blush in his cheeks grew deeper in color. 'Did I just say that last sentence out loud? Shit. Now he is going to know I was thinking about him during math class.'
'What did he just say?' Kaiba thought surprised. 'If he thinks of people, then draws something to resemble them, then that means he was probably thinking about me. That is why he drew Blue-Eyes.' A tiny blush spread across his cheeks. "Thank you, Joey." He said. "Now, what was it you needed help with."
Joey grabbed his textbook and simply said, "All of it." Kaiba took the book from him and looked at the questions. 'Maybe he didn't hear that last comment. Man, that was embarrassing.' Joey thought.
"Okay, this first one is simple." Kaiba took the pencil from Joey's hand, purposely brushing his against Joey's. He drew a triangle on the paper and labeled the angles of it. "You have to use Tangent to find the hypotenuse. Do you have a calculator?" Joey shook his head and Kaiba reached over to his desk and grabbed his. "Okay." He did the required steps, showing Joey as he did, and then wrote the answer down. "It's pretty easy."
Joey's eyes just looked on confused. "Man, I hate Trig. I don't even seen why I have to learn it. I won't need it in the future." Seto laughed. It was true. Only mathematicians used Trig out side of school.
'What is this? Kaiba laughing?' He looked at him laughing. 'His smile is beautiful. I wonder why he doesn't smile more often or laugh.'
"Well, you will have to learn it if you want to pass math." He said, quickly going back to his serious face. 'Bummer.' Joey sighed, "I will never get it." He whined. He heard Kaiba sigh. "Here, watch me." He leaned in closer to watch him do the next problem. He drew the triangle and wrote the angles. Joey looked at him, 'he is beautiful.' He thought and felt his cheeks go warm when Kaiba looked up to see if he was paying attention. Joey looked into his sapphire eyes. His face was mere inches from Joey's. "Since there are two angles, it is easy to figure out the last.one." His explanation slowed as he looked into his eyes. Joey seem to have that effect on people. "What are you loo-" He started to say, but was cut off. Joey couldn't help it, he leaned in and kissed him.
"Seto, I'm sorry. I didn't mean too. I should never have-" Joey started to apologize, but was Kaiba pulled him back and began to kiss him passionately before he could say anymore. He tasted good. Kaiba ran my tongue over his lips, wanting to taste more of him. He moaned lightly, allowing him to slip his tongue in his mouth. At first he fought to gain control, but realizing that he wasn't going to win, he backed down.
'Damn need for air.' he thought as he slowly pulled away. They were both quiet for a while, trying to breath steadily again.
Joey looked into Kaiba's eyes. He knew he was blushing. "I don't understand." He said simply. Kaiba looked at him a bit confused. "Understand what, puppy?" He asked. For what seems like the first time to Joey, he didn't flinch at Kaiba calling him puppy. "I thought you despised me?"
"I could ask you the same thing." He replied with a smile. Joey blushed even more. "I guess I felt that arguing with you was the only I could say anything to you."
Joey felt Kaiba's hand cup his cheek. "Didn't you ever wonder why I only picked on you?" He leaned into his hand, and shook his head. "Silly puppy. It was the same excuse for me. I purposely picked on you because I thought you were really cute when you were mad." He went quiet for a bit, then a hint of red came up in his cheeks and he looked down. He quietly began after a bit, "I was jealous of Yugi too." Joey looked confused a bit, but brought his hand to cup Kaiba's chin and gently forced him to look at himself. "Why?" He asked softly.
"I was jealous of him because he had you as a friend." Kaiba felt his cheeks go redder, he couldn't believe he was saying this. "I always wished that I was him when he was dueling, even when he wasn't dueling, because he always has you there to encourage him when a duel or situation looks hopeless."
Joey lightly kissed him again. "Now you don't have to worry about that, right?" He smiled and nodded. Joey looked at the time. 9:50pm. "I gotta go. I told my dad I would be home by 10."
"Do you want a ride? It's pretty cold out there." Kaiba asked, placing the picture Joey gave him on his desk.
"If you are the one driving." Joey smiled. 'He is sexy when he smiles. His hair in his eyes looks even better.' Kaiba thought as he walked up to Joey and brushed a lock of his golden hair out of his eyes. He looked into his golden eyes and said, "Of course. And after I drop you off, I should probably pick Mokuba up." He brushed his lips to Joey's in a soft kiss. "Now, shall we go?" Joey nodded and followed Kaiba out of the office and to his car.
The car ride to Joey's apartment was quiet, with each boy sneaking a glance at each other. They had arrived in front of his apartment building. "Well, thank you for the ride." Joey said and made to get out of the car, but was pulled back into a passionate kiss. He didn't hesitate to respond. After a minute, they pulled away. "You didn't think you were leaving without a good- bye kiss did you?" Seto asked teasingly. Joey smiled and shook his head. "Good." He leaned in and kissed Joey again. Once again they had to pull away for air. "Okay. Now you may go." He smiled. Joey just brushed his lips lightly against Seto's before thanking him and getting out of the car.
Joey watched Seto drive away before he sighed happily and headed into his apartment. Even though he knew his father was in rehab, he couldn't help but be cautious when he entered his apartment. When nothing came he decided to risk calling him, telling him he was home. "DAD!" He yelled, "I'm home!" Nothing. 'Hmm, I guess he isn't home yet.' He took off his shoes and headed for his room. He fell on his bed and came to the best conclusion he has in his life. "There is absolutely no doubt that this was the best day ever."
