Disclaimer: No I don't own Yuugiou or Yuugiou: Duel Monsters or Yuugiou: Duel Monsters Genex or anything related except for a few stories I wrote and so cards I made up. Glad we're clear on that.

Ryu: I was surprised that there was a review.

Kioku: I had figured that since this one was finished before we took it down no one would bother reading it once it was back up, so that was cool. But you know what that means Ryu-san.

Ryu: I know, I have to do a thank you bit. Okay, let's get this over with so we can get back to work.

Felidae: It's cool we got a new reader. Why didn't you want to read it at first? In any case, I hope you like the rest of it. This next chappy is one of my other self's favorites.

Kioku: /blush/ Ryu-san, you weren't supposed to tell!

Ryu: Enjoy the chappy while my light kills me.

Chapter 5: A Night Alone

Jou and Julie sat in the main room of the basement. Shizuka had gone into the other room, looking for a game to play.

"She's been in there a while," Julie said.

"Shizuka-chan can never decide what to do," Jou said casually. "She'll probably fall asleep in there."

"Doesn't she have school tomorrow?" Julie asked.

"Of course she does," Jou replied. "But she's so smart; she can get away with falling asleep in class and such."

"Sounds like the good life," Julie said dreamily.

"It does, doesn't it," Jou said, moving his hand to rest on Julie's. "But the best life of all is a life spent with you."

Julie blushed a little. "You're so sweet Joey."

Jou raised an eyebrow at the unusual name.

"Gomen," Julie said. "It's just, your hair and you accent make you seem American. I guess the name kind of slipped out." She looked down at the floor shyly.

Jou grabbed her chin and pulled her head up to look into her eyes. "It's okay Julie-chan, really. I think its kinda suiting now that I think about it."

Julie blinked once at him. "You really don't mind it?"

"Not at all." Jou replied, leaning forward and pressing a soft kiss to her lips. Jou wasn't sure, but he thought he felt a tear slide onto his upper lip.

He wanted to try and comfort her so badly, but at very that moment Shizuka walked back in. They heard her before they saw her because of the stack of game boxes she was carrying. Jou broke the kiss and got up to help his sister.

"Arigatou, onii-san," Shizuka said once she could see. She set the games down on the floor and sat down. "Okay, I've got Monopoly, LIFE, Chutes and Ladders, Mah Jong, Checkers, Chess, Clue, Candy Land, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and Sorry. I also have a deck of playing cards so we could play Go Fish or something."

Jou and Julie both sweatdropped at her.

Shizuka smiled and pulled the cards out of their box. "Why don't we start with Go Fish and see where that takes us," she suggested, shuffling the cards and dealing seven cards the each of them. "Player to the dealer's right goes first, so you start Julie-san."

"Okay," she said, still a little taken aback. "Shizuka-chan, do you have any threes?"

"Go Fish."

(LATER)

Jou and Julie sat amongst the many game boards and boxes. It was about two-thirty a.m. Shizuka had fallen asleep an hour ago, so Jou and Julie just watched TV. Julie was lying on the couch that sat against the wall while Jou sat on the floor, his back against the couch, resting his head near Julie's chest.

She looked down at Jou sleepily. "Hey Joey."

"What is it?" he asked, looking up at her.

"You do know it's almost 2:30 don't you?" Julie asked. "We've got school tomorrow, shouldn't we be sleeping?"

"Gomen," Jou replied. "I'm used to staying up late. I didn't once think about you. Gomen."

"Its okay, Joey. Sleep isn't something I'm so familiar with. I was just thinking of you is all." Her eyes had drifted closed while she spoke, trying to keep her tears from escaping. Only a single drop seeped through and rolled down her face. Sensing it was coming, Jou turned around and wiped that single tear away. Julie opened her eyes at the contact, a few more tears leaking forth.

Jou leaned in, kissing her softly, and said, "Don't worry. I'm here for you now. You can sleep all you want."

Julie closed her eyes and within seconds, sleep had taken hold of her. Jou brushed a few dark strands of hair off her face before lying back against the couch. He only lasted a few minutes more before sleep claimed him as well.

(THE NEXT MORNING)

"Onii-chan, Julie-san, you guys need to get up if you don't want to be late."

Jou opened his eyes to see his sister trying to shake him and his new love awake. Shizuka was already dressed in her school uniform, a navy-blue skirt and matching sailor top.

"What time is it?" Jou asked groggily, rubbing his heavy eyes.

"It's seven-thirty already," Shizuka replied. "Your breakfast is getting cold and you don't get to eat it until you've showered."

"Gimme a break Shizuka-chan," he said, rubbing his soar neck and turning to face the other direction just in time to see Julie wake up.

At first, she just opened her eyes. Then remembered where she was and sat bolt up, causing Jou to fall over. "Oh no. Gomen, Shizuka-san. Gomen, you haven't been trying to get me up long have you. I'm told I'm a deep sleeper. Gomen, gomen nasai."

"Calm down, Julie-san. It's okay. You can come eat while onii-chan's in the shower. I'll heat it up for you," Shizuka offered, giving a bright smile before turning toward the stairs.

"But that's not fair," Jou complained, pulling himself up.

Shizuka turned angrily to him. "Then you should've gotten up earlier! You breakfast is on the table Julie-san." That said, she left then and headed back to the kitchen.

Julie looked down at Jou. "Is she always so cheerful in the morning?"

"Yeah, although I can't figure out how," Jou replied. He looked at her and had to stifle a laugh as he noticed her hair, which was flying in many different directions.

"What's so funny?" Julie asked, looking slightly indignant.

Jou could only point as he tried his hardest not to laugh. Julie glanced up and saw how her hair was looking and instantly began trying to flatten it.

"So what?" she asked teasingly

Jou reached up and touched he hair. Despite having been slept on, it still felt soft to the touch. "It's beautiful."

Julie smiled, feeling better now. "Arigatou, Joey."

(AT SCHOOL DURING LUNCH)

"Hey Jou-kun, your otou-san finally moved out today right?" Honda asked.

"Yeah, and a day early. Which means I have a whole, completely empty apartment all to myself for the night," Jou replied.

"Then let's have a party!" Honda exclaimed, causing half the classroom to look up at him.

"Gomen, Honda," Jou said, "But I have plans. Besides, I can't trash the place if I have to be out of there by tomorrow."

"So then what are your plans? Sit and stare at the wall?" Honda teased.

Jou made a quick glance across the room where Julie was eating her lunch with Anzu and Miho. "I'm having someone special over."

"Oh, a lady friend perhaps?"

"That's none of your business now is it?" Jou said.

Honda grabbed his head under his arm and started rubbing his fist roughly against the top of it. "C'mon man, you know you can't hide anything from me."

"Let go of me ya big baka!" Jou exclaimed.

Anzu, Miho, and Julie looked at them from across the room. Anzu and Miho both let out a small sigh and went back to their lunches, Julie just laughed.

(BACK TO PRESENT)

"So you never told Honda-san who it was that was going to your apartment that night, did you?" Dr. Heisi asked.

"Nope, didn't say another word on it," Jou replied.

"I see," Heisi said, writing something on her clipboard. She looked up at Jou and asked, "Tell me Jou-san, why did you want to spend the night in that apartment if it was the place of so many bad memories?"

"I never really thought about it," Jou told her. "I guess with so many bad memories there, I wanted to stay there with Julie, try and create at least one good memory in that place."

Dr. Heisi wrote something more on her clipboard. "So, what did happen that night?" she finally asked.

"Well..."

(BACK TO AFTER SCHOOL THE SAME DAY)

Jou and Julie had managed to get out of school without running into Yugi and the others and were making their way to Jou's car in the school parking lot.

"You have so many friends, its fun trying to dodge them all," Julie said when they reached Jou's car.

"You have a pretty strange concept of fun," Jou told her as he climbed into the driver's seat.

Julie smiled at where Jou had been standing before climbing into the passenger seat of the car. A few minutes later, Jou pulled up in front of Julie's small house across from his old apartment. He looked at the house with disgust, then directed his attention to Julie.

"Your otou-san's not home, right?" Jou asked, worry easily audible in his voice.

"Don't worry," Julie reassured him, "he's at work now, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Okay, I'll be back a-sap to pick you up," Jou replied.

"Arigatou, Joey." Julie said, placing a small kiss on his cheek.

She climbed out of the car, waved once at him, and then disappeared into the house. A grimace crossed Jou's face as he pulled away, but he drove the car across to the apartment building's parking lot and parked his car. He climbed out and ran up the stairs as fast as he could and changed. He emerged shortly after in his trademark jeans and white t-shirt with the blue sleeves and square in the center.

His dog-tag necklace bounced off his chest as he raced back down the stairs, threw his school clothes into his car, and ran across the street just in time to see Julie walking out of her house.

She was wearing a dark blue, sleeveless shirt that matched her eyes with little silver speckles all over it and a black skirt that hung down to her ankles so not to hide her black sandals and pale feet, her entire ensemble being accented by her pale skin. Along with her dark hair and indigo-colored eyes, she looked like the night had a taken human form. A black overnight bag was slung over her shoulder.

"You look beautiful, just like the night," Jou said, causing Julie to blush a little. "But it's missing something," he went on.

Julie looked down at herself then back to Jou. "Nani?"

Jou reached into his pocket and pulled out a velvet box, which he held out to her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Open it."

Julie took the box and opened it. Inside was a silver charm in the shape of a crescent moon connected to a silver chain. She looked up at Jou, her eyes wide, as if she were about to cry, and flung her arms around Jou, dropping her overnight bag and almost knocking him down, "Arigatou, Joey."

Jou pulled out of her embrace and helped her place the gift around her neck

"C'mon," Jou said, "Let's get going."

Julie nodded, a few thankful tears of joy rolling down her face, and followed Jou to his Jou's old apartment in the building across the street.

"Are you sure your otou-san won't mind you being here?" Jou asked as they slowly climbed the stairs to the apartment.

"Of course he doesn't. He was practically jumping for joy. He met some women at some bar last night. I told him I was staying with a friend tonight and he didn't say anything. He just got up and called her."

"Gomen, Julie-chan."

"For what, Joey?"

Jou went slightly pink at the sound of the nickname. "Well, I made you think about him."

They were now standing outside Jou's apartment. Julie looked at him, her indigo colored eyes showing love, yet pain. Joy, yet misery. Yes, Jou had reminded her of her father that she hated. But he had only done so because he was concerned for her safety. And that gave her a sense of comfort just being with him.

"Listen Joey. As long as I'm with you, no memory of him can upset me."

Jou leaned down and placed his lips softly against hers. He held her close to him while she clung onto him for dear life.

Jou finally pulled away, gasping a little and said to her, "We should go inside."

Julie nodded as Jou pulled the key out of his pocket. He unlocked the door and they entered the former den of pain. The room was empty; absolutely nothing was left. Nothing but a light lingering smell of liquor and countless memories that would be forever planted in Jou's mind. That and the overnight and sleeping bags Jou had placed by the door, where he was now taking his shoes off. Julie placed her things next to Jou's as they walked into the room a little more. It almost felt like they were a newly married couple, entering their first home together for the first time. They looked at each other, both feeling a bit awkward.

"So, what should we do, Joey?" Julie finally asked.

"I guess just whatever comes naturally," Jou replied.

Julie smirked at him and leaned up, kissing Jou lightly. He was taken aback slightly; Julie had never made the first move. But he accepted it, returning the soft kiss eagerly, running his tongue over Julie's lower lip. Julie took the clue and parted her lips, allowing Jou entrance into the moist cavern of her mouth.

"Joey," Julie moaned softly into Jou's mouth. It seemed like the kiss had lasted forever before the two parted, both gasping for air.

"Joey," Julie gasped.

"Hai?"

"I told you about what my father does to me, right?"

"Hai, but that's a bit of a mood killer, don't you think," Jou said. He was confused as to how they'd gone from making out to talking about Julie's father and the things he did to her.

"Well, just thinking about is makes me feel dirty," Julie confessed. "But, while we were kissing, I started thinking about what it would be like to do those kinds of things with you." She paused for a moment, blushing darkly.

Jou took her chin in his hand and pulled it up lightly so that he could see into those solemn, blue orbs that he loved. "Julie-chan, I want you to tell me what you're saying, because I think I follow but I don't want to get the wrong idea."

She stared intently into his eyes, indigo-blue meeting honey-brown. Just thinking about the color of his eyes planted a sweet taste in her mouth. And that sweet taste only fueled her indecent intentions. But first she had to get those intentions across to the one she loved. She sucked in a deep breath before going on with her words.

"Joey, I think that doing those kinds of things with you wouldn't be dirty. That it would make me forget about all those things. I want you to make me clean, Joey."

Jou stared at her in shock. She smiled and walked over to the door, where they'd left their stuff. Jou was starting to realize why Julie's bag was so big. She'd been planning this. He was so out of it that he didn't notice the sleeping bag Julie threw at him until it hit him in the face. He looked up and saw Julie unrolling hers.

"Don't you think it's a little early for bed?" Jou asked her, feeling a little nervous, yet at the same time a little aroused.

"We're not going to sleep, silly," Julie responded, smiling seductively. She had already opened her sleeping bag completely, making it wide enough for the both of them, and was placing the two pillows they'd brought up at one end.

Jou opened up his sleeping bag fully and laid it on top of Julie's. "What now?" he asked, wondering what surprising thing she'd say next.

Julie crossed to him and kissed him again, slowly and gently pushing him down until he was lying on his back with her on top of him. She pulled away so that she was sitting on Jou now and removed her shirt to reveal her navy colored bra that was also accented by her pale skin. Jou was breathless as she reached down and pulled his shirt off as well before running her hand over Jou's rough skin; his hard muscles easily felt.

Jou shivered at the touch and the cool air hitting his warm skin, causing Julie to look up. She saw Jou's head tilted back, his eyes closed in ecstasy, but she could also see the red color on his face.

"Joey, if you don't want to do this then, we don't have to."

Jou looked at her, the flush still vivid on his face. "It's just that...it's my first time."

"Well don't you worry about that," Julie said seductively, leaning down so that her breasts were pressed firmly against Jou's chest. "I'll show you what you've been missing out on."

Jou closed his eyes as Julie touched another small kiss to his lips, feeling himself start to harden while she began trailing slowly down his neck and onto his chest, stopping to play with one of the small nubs of flesh that was Jou's nipple. Jou hissed and moaned, his fingers entangling in Julie's hair, as she gave a light bite to the nub and proceeded to soothe it with soft laps of her tongue. She began descending again, pausing at Jou's waist to fumble with the button and zipper of his jeans and then remove them, sliding his socks off in the process.

Jou shiver at the cool air again and realized he was in nothing but his pale-blue boxers. But warmth soon returned as Julie crawled back up to him and began kissing the area around his jaw and ear. He decided to take this opportunity to become the dominant one by rolling Julie over so that he was on top of her now.

Julie was at first surprised but smiled as Jou began kissing her jaw and down her neck, mirroring her previous actions, his hands roamed down over her body, taking their time at her breasts. He began moving down her body, trailing his tongue over her chest and stomach. His hands found the zipper to her skirt and manage to get it down, allowing Jou to remove it, revealing navy panties that matched her bra. He began placing kisses up her soft legs, moving up to her thigh, and loving the soft moaning he was drawing from her. She suddenly sat up a little, causing Jou to stop and look at her in concern. It was his first time but he didn't think he'd mess up too badly.

Julie gave him a reassuring smile and said in a low, sultry voice, "Its okay, I just need to get something." She slipped out from under Jou and crawled, seductively, on her hands and knees, over to her bag, making sure her hips gave a small swing as she moved. She withdrew something from the bag before crawling back over to Jou. He could see it was a bottle she had gotten and, upon getting a closer look, realized it was honey.

"I didn't know you were into such kinky stuff," Jou said, his member now extremely hard and rubbing uncomfortably against his leg.

"I'm not really," Julie said, "but when I see you I always think of honey," she explained, her eyes beginning to regain some of their sadness.

Jou gave her a reassuring peck and told her, "It sounds like fun."

She smiled and lightly pressed him back down to the floor, then dripped a bit of honey onto her finger and rubbed it onto her lips. She brought the finger to Jou's mouth where he sucked the sticky substance off. She then began placing kisses down his chest again, a new feeling coursing through Jou as the honey made Julie's lips stick slightly.

When she reached his waist again, she slipped her hand under the elastic of his boxers and wrapped her fingers around the now fully erect appendage, Jou letting out a small hiss as Julie ran her fingers over the surface and base of him. She lightly pulled the clothing down and off, letting Jou's full length free. She then took the honey bottle and popped the lid open to squeeze some of the thick liquid into her hand. Once satisfied, she wrapped her hand around Jou's member again and began pumping slowly, making sure to cover every inch of it, running her sticky fingers over the head and tiny slit of him.

She blew a little cool air onto Jou, which felt even cooler because of the honey. But it was soon replaced with moist warmth as Julie wrapped her lips around Jou's length and began sucking slowly, causing him to grab the sleeping bag on either side of him and cling on to it as Julie slowly increased her speed, taking him faster and deeper. He could feel himself getting ready to release when the warmth vanished. He looked up to see Julie crawling up to him.

She bent down low and whispered into his ear, "You don't expect to get all the fun do you?"

"I guess not," Jou replied sadly as she began kissing and nipping at his ear. He used this time to reach behind her and unhook the clasp of her bra, letting it slide down her arms and off completely.

He rolled her over as he had done before and, grabbing the honey, poured some of the sticky substance in between Julie breasts. He began spreading it over her fine globes, trying to remember things he'd seen in dirty movies and magazines. Judging from the small moans Julie was emitting, he assumed he was doing okay.

Covered two fingers in honey he trailed his hand down her stomach, under her panties, and proceeded to insert one finger into her, causing her to gasp loudly. He began kissing at the sweet area around her chest while slowly moving his finger in and out of her. Eventually he inserted the second; cause Julie to cry out his name.

He moved down to her waist and removed his fingers from inside her, causing the girl to whimper a little, so that he could remove the dark material, leaving his naked angel of the night in front of him, only the silver necklaces they wore remaining.

He drizzled a little honey around the area of her entrance and began licking it away until he reached her flower where he slipped his tongue into the now sticky opening, drawing another loud cry from Julie. He began swirling his tongue inside her and sucking lightly, the taste of the honey melding with that of the fluids that escaped Julie to create an exotic blend that drove Jou mad.

"Ah…ah…uhh…ah….Joey…uh…can't hold…on…ah…much…longer…ah," Julie had managed to gasp out between moans.

Jou gave one final swirl of his tongue before withdrawing from her. He moved up level with her face; keeping one finger near her entrance, draw little circles around it that continued to drive Julie to the final point and began kissing her neck, moved up to her jaw, then to her ear where he whispered in a voice clearly full of lust, "I guess it's time for the best part then."

Julie gave a weak nod, her eyes clenched shut, letting out small moans as Jou's finger dipped into her every now and then. He drew himself up and took the honey again. A low moan passed his lips as he spread the sticky liquid onto his member. Then he turned the bottle over and squeezed every last drop over every inch of Julie's being.

He slowly lowered himself until the head of his member was fully inside her and then began moving back out again, drawing a small moan from the girl, before going back, a little deeper this time. He stopped and looked up at her worriedly.

"Are you sure you want this?' he asked, "We can still stop."

"Take…take me…please…Joey," Julie gasped out, moving her hips a little to keep the rhythm Jou had started.

Jou nodded and pulled himself out once more before driving fully into Julie, their hips colliding. Julie let out a scream, partially from pain, partially from pleasure. Jou's head shoot back up to see Julie's face; eyes clenched shut, mouth open in a now silent cry. She calmed down and looked at him, nodding so that he knew he could go on. Jou nodded again before withdrawing himself and plunging back in, the sensation of the honey sticking their flesh together driving them both mad with pleasure.

Jou continued this motion, slowly quickening his pace while simultaneously Julie began bucking her hips in rhythm with Jou, who was only moving his hips now while he pressed his body against Julie's sticky, lithe form, rubbing his chest against her breasts, pressing his lips to hers and taking all of her moans into his mouth. He released her from the kiss so that he could put more force into his thrusts and increase his speed.

"Ah…uhh…ah…" Julie moaned out, "Ah…uh…Joey…can't…last…ah…any…JOEY!" she cried out his name as she climaxed.

It was only a few thrusts more before Jou released inside her, screaming her name as loud as his vocal cords would allow. Completely spent, he collapsed onto her, managing to roll over so as not to crush her. The two of them laid next to each other a moment, naked and sticky, waiting for their breathing to return to normal. Finally, Jou turned his head to look into the night blue orbs of Julie's eyes.

"I love you, Julie-chan," he breathed out.

"I love you too, Joey," she replied.

Jou smiled at her and drew the covers up over them both before they fell to the edge of sleep in each other's embrace, their necklaces entangled in a small mass, reflecting the faint light of the raising moon shining through the window.

"Someday, when we're older, will you marry me?"

Julie's eyes snapped open. She looked at Jou, who was blushing profusely, and smiled. "Of course, Katsuya Jounouchi. I'll marry you"

"Good," Jou said before drifting off to sleep, Julie following soon after.
