Take Me Away to Paradise.
A/N: Ok! Here's the second chapter! This one is a little short, but please bear with me! By the way, sorry if they all seem OOC. That's just my way!
Disclaimer: (Which I forgot to put in last time. Oops!) I really own nothing. If I did, Seto and Jou would be together, and Anzu would be at the bottom of the ocean. I would have put her there.
Thanks to Akira of the Twilight and KatrinaKaiba for reviewing!
Akira of the Twilight- Thanks for reviewing! Nah, it's just an infatuation! Would I do that to Seto? Or Yugi for that matter?
KatrinaKaiba- Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like it! I'm nervous as this is my first piece of fan fiction, and I'm not sure how people will react.
Oh! '….' Is someone thinking. "….", talking, okay?
On to the second chapter!
Chapter 2.
Seto Kaiba was feeling guilty. Now, to people that didn't know him, this may not seem strange. Guilt is a natural emotion for most people. But for someone as ruthless as the CEO of Kaiba Corp, guilt was not an emotion he often experienced.
It was all because of that damn mutt! He had looked so sad this morning…
'I wonder why I feel this way?' he thought to himself. 'Usually I love to insult the mutt, and he usually gives as good as he gets! But this morning, he looked so pathetic. Soaking wet, nose bleeding, clothes looking like he'd just pulled them out of a drawer. Which,' Seto smirked, 'he probably had!' He laughed quietly to himself, which brought on another wave of guilt. He knew that Jounouchi had a terrible home life. He knew that Jou's father abused him.
Seto sighed. 'My poor puppy……' He wished he could help the blonde, but he couldn't let people know. He had to keep up his heartless façade……
He couldn't let on……that he……
That he……loved………
Just then, the object of his affections walked silently into the room. Jounouchi looked terrible. Both his eyes were bruised, and his nose was red and sore looking. Seto felt his heart lurch as the blonde looked around warily, then jumped as his name was screamed.
"KATSUYA JOUNOUCHI!"
Jou looked up fearfully. "I'm sorry, I…"
"No more excuses, Jounouchi. You have been late an obscene number of times this term. I'm going to have to call your father."
Jou's eyes widened in pure terror. "No, please, I'm sorry, I…"
"That's enough. Go sit down."
"Wait!"
Everyone turned to look at Yugi, who blushed, but bravely continued speaking.
"It wasn't Jou's fault, honest!" Yugi cried desperately. "Please don't call his father!"
Seto sighed. He guessed that Yugi also knew about Jounouchi's abusive father.
Their teacher exhaled impatiently. "I'm afraid that it's school policy, Mr. Motou. Now, go sit down." She paused. "At once!"
As Yugi passed his best friend, Jounouchi gave him a comforting pat on the arm.
"Don't worry, Yugi. I'll be okay!"
Seto felt his heart wrench again as Jou gave Yugi a brave smile. He knew Jou's father would beat him…
It seemed that Yugi knew it too, because it looked like he was going to cry.
I'm so sorry, this is really short! Please review anyway! I promise the next chapter is longer!
