Author's Note:I know it's been done but hey it's Jounouchi and Seto. You just can't get enough of them. Lolx. There's also going to be other pairings but I won't spoil it for you. This is my first fanfic but i've done lots of writing before. I had a few quizzes on quizilla and is currently writing/drawing/publishing my own manga as well as editing other people's. I really don't have a lot of time to write but since people a.k.a Mae gots me into writing /reading fanfics I'll find time. Oh yeah, and Jounouchi Katsuya will just be known as Jounouchi most of the time even .Same goes for Kaiba Seto.(Damn I hate A.A.F's cough people i shouldn't mention cough Anyways, let's just read bout Jounouchi and Seto shall we?
P.S.Italics in this fanfic are thoughts, the first setting is written in bold at the beginning of a series of scenes, so just because the setting says 'Mutou House" it doesn't mean that it will be the only setting in that particular scene.
School/3rd Period
It was 3rd period and Jounouchi Katsuya was playing basketball in gym class. He let the ball escape his grasp and it rebounded of the backboard and into the net with ease.
"That's what I'm talking about!" he said with pride to his friends Honda Hiroto and Mutou Yuugi.
"Hmph."Jounouchi turned around to see Kaiba Seto standing behind him in his gym uniform.
His eyes lingered on the CEO's obviously well built body before he finally got a hold of himself.
"Hey I'd like to see you do better Kaiba. Just 'cause you're rich don't mean you're better than the rest of us."
"On the contrary mutt, that's exactly what it means." replies Kaiba with a smirk as he throws the ball effortlessly into the net. The brunette retrieves the ball and and walks away.
"Wow. That was three-pointer." exclaims Mutou Yuugi.
"Aw, come on Yuug. I can do that in my sleep." says the blond.
"Right Jounouchi. Right. Seeing as the only way you'd be able to do that would be in your dreams." scoffs Honda.
"Shut up Hiroto" replies Jounouchi as he throws the ball at him.
"Hey what'd you do that for!" exclaims Honda.
Damn that Kaiba. He always thinks he's so much better than me. Thought Jounouchi to himself. But he does look really good in his gym uniform. Wait, what am I thinking. It's Kaiba we're talking about I hate him. I can't be thinking about him or how hot he looks in his gym clothes. Dammit, he's not hot... he's not hot... he's not hot...damn he's hot...
"Hey Jounouchi, Wakaouji-Sensei said it's time to go." says Yuugi.(Wakaouji-sensei isn't Mitsuki's doctor from Full Moon Wo Sagshite...I'm not obsessed... shifty eyes)
"Oh. Sure Yuug."replies Jounouchi as he heads for the boys' locker room.
The other guys were already showering. Jounouchi looked for an empty stall and his eyes rested upon one near the back of the room. Then he realized who was in the stall next to it. Just my luck. I have to get the stall next to Mr.Imso damnrichandsexy. Did I just... No. That didn't just happen. Just go, I mean it's not like it matters right? Jounouchi walked into the stall which just happened to be next to the one currently occupied by Kaiba. He took off his gym clothes and turned on the water. Jou stepped under the cool, refreshing water and let the sweat wash off his body. He grabbed a bar of soap and began lathering himself. Jounouchi suddenly felt an ominous presence. He looked up to see Seto staring at him. The brunette quickly turned away, turned off the water, wrapped a towel around himself and left the showers and into the actual locker room to change. What was that about? Thought Jounouchi as he washed his long blond locks. Then he too goes to change along with some of his other classmates including Yuugi and Hiroto. Jounouchi opened up the locker in front of him and took out his clothes. He pulled his t-shirt over his head and when he was just about to put on his pants Kaiba walked out of the washroom. He was back into his school uniform but his hair was still wet from showering. Drops of water rolled down his face and neck and Jounouchi found himself, once again staring at him. Kaiba gave him a cold stare and Jounouchi snapped out of it and put on the rest of his clothes.
School/4th Period
Jounouchi sat at his desk, by the window while the teacher was at the front of the class talking about algebra or bisecting something. He wasn't really paying attention. Jounouchi stared out the window and gazed into the clouds. He just couldn't stop thinking about Kaiba. Why do I feel this way? Aren't I supposed to hate him? I mean he did humiliate me a million times, calling me mutt, beating me at duel monsters. But somehow... ...
"Mr.Jounouchi. Perhaps since you seem to know enough about the equivalence of x to pi you can tell us the answer to question number 7." said the teacher.
"Uh... ..." replied Jounouchi feebly.
"Since you don't know the answer I suggest you pay attention to my lesson Mr. Jounouchi."
A group of girls at the front of the class giggled and the teacher walked back to the front of the class.
"Nice job mutt." said Kaiba behind him.
"Shut up Kaiba." Jounouchi replied.
Jounouchi tried to follow the lesson but it was just too damn boring. He began doodling mindlessly until the bell rang.
"Alright class is dismissed." said the teacher.
Everyone got up and began leaving, everyone except Jounouchi who was still zoned out. Kaiba too got up and opened to say something to Jounouchi as he passed him(obviously an insult) when he looked down at Jounouchi's notebook. Confused Jounouchi looked down to see that while doodling he had drawn about a gazillion hearts and in the centre of the chaos was the name Kaiba Seto.
"Hey Jounouchi-kun come on let's get a move on." says Hiroto who was standing at the doorway.
Kaiba turned around and stormed out to the classroom, pushing Hiroto out of the way as he went.
"Hey Kaiba watch where you're going will you?" shouted Hiroto to the brunettes' back.
Jounouchi closed his notebook, put it in his bag and walked out of the classroom as well.
"Hey Jounouchi wait up!" said Hiroto as he followed.
They both walked out of the school to see Yuugi, Anzu, Ryou and Ryuuji waiting for them.
"Sorry to keep ya waiting guys." said Jounouchi casually.
"We're going to grab some pizza, coming?" saysYuugi.
"Nah. You guys go ahead. I've got something to do." replies Jounouchi as he watched Kaiba get into his limo.
Strangely enough a girl was with him and she was carrying a katana. Is she his girlfriend or just a bodyguard? Thought Jounouchi.
"Hey look guys. Rich boy's getting into his limo." says Hiroto.
"Must be nice to have a limo." saysYuugi.
"Hey who's that girl with him?"asks Anzu.
"I heard that's his bodyguard." says Ryou.
"Hey. Why are you all gawking at him?" asks Ryuuji. "I have a limo too you know."
"We know." replies Hiroto "You've only mentioned it about a million times already."
So she is his bodyguard. Thought Jounouchi.
"Alright, alright let's get going I'm getting hungry." says Hiroto.
"Cya' guys then." says Jounouchi as he heads home.
Seto's Limo
"Take me to Kaiba Corp." commands Kaiba.
"Yes Mr. Kaiba." replies the driver.
Kaiba takes out his laptop and begins looking over recent documents.
"Is that all you care about Kaiba, work?" says the girl next to him.
She had long black hair with subtle brown highlights and was wearing a long black trench coat covering her school uniform. "Hmph. Look who's talking Michi." replies Kaiba without looking up from his laptop whatsoever.
"I guess you're right." replies Michi who was fidgeting with her katana.
It wasn't long before they arrived at Kaiba Corp. Kaiba and Michi got out of the limo and walked into the tall skyscraper.
"Good afternoon Mr.Kaiba, Ms Hirata." says the secretary as they enter.
Kaiba ignores the greeting and walks up to the elevator.
"Good afternoon Kaori." replies Michi before heading towards the elevator. "Nice way to treat the employees Kaiba." says Michi sarcastically as they ascended in the elevator.
"I suggest you keep your comments to yourself, since you can be fired just like any other employee." replies Kaiba coldly as they stepped into his office.
"Fine." replies Michi as she walks out of the elevator and into the bathroom in Kaiba's office.
What an asshole. He wasn't like this back at the orphanage that's for sure. Thought Michi as she change out of her school uniform and into her regular clothes.
Katsuya's Room/Jounouchi House
Jounouchi was lying on his bed and staring blankly at the ceiling. Crap what's wrong with me. Now Kaiba knows... ... thinks that I ... now what am I going to do. I can't just go up to him and be like
"Oh when I wrote your name in my notebook ,it just happened to be surrounded by hearts I didn't mean it."
Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello?" says Jounouchi.
"Katsuya!" the person replies.
"Shizuka? Is that you?" Jounouchi asks hopefully.
"Well of course it's me. Who else could it be." replies Shizuka. "I miss you big brother."
"I miss you too sis'" says Jounouchi "So what's up?"
"I need you to come and get me." says Shizuka.
"What?" replies Jounouchi surprised.
"I need you to come over to Mom's house. I don't want to live here anymore." says Shizuka.
"What's wrong sis? What happened over there?" asks Jounouchi worried.
"Mom's got a new boyfriend and they're getting married. I don't think they want me around and since you moved out on your own I thought that I could live with you. You don't mind do you?" replied Shizuka obviously near tears.
"Course not sis' I'll come get you right now. Just get your stuff packed up, I'll be there in no time."
"Thanks Katsuya." replies Shizuka
"Don't you worry I'll take care of you." says Jounouchi as he shuts the phone. He put on a jacket and hurry's out the door.
Kaiba Corp/Kaiba's Office
Kaiba was sitting at his desk looking through old company records on his laptop while Michi sat on the black leather couch, bored out of her mind. I can't take this anymore, another minute and I'm going to die of boredom. She gets up and unsheathes her katana and begins practicing offensive techniques. Kaiba looks up from his desk and says
"Put your sword away and sit down. I don't want you breaking any of my things."
Michi gives Kaiba a cold stare, sheaths the sword and sits down.
"God, Kaiba if I knew this would be the life I'd have as your bodyguard I would have stuck to being an assassin."
"Hmph." replies Kaiba more to his computer then her.
"Why did you hire me anyways?" asks Michi curious "It's not like you can't take care of yourself."
"I don't need to explain myself to you." says Kaiba.
"Fine. You know what Kaiba?..."
"Big brother!" exclaims Mokuba as he barges in through the door.
He rushes over to Kaiba and gives him a hug.
"Oh. Hi Michi-Chan." he says when he notices that she's there too.
"Hey Mokuba." replies Michi.
"Mokuba, we'll talk later okay? Right now I have some important buisness to attend to." says Kaiba.
"Oh. Alright big brother." replies Mokuba a little disappointed and sad that his brother chose work over him, not that he wasn't used to it.(Poor Kid)
Mokuba runs out of Kaiba's office crying.
"Mokuba..."says Kaiba finally looking up from his laptop.
"Hold on Mokuba." says Michi as she follows him out into the hallway.
Kaiba sighs and goes back to looking at his laptop. Michi catches up to Mokuba who was just getting on the elevator.
"Mokuba. Hold on." she says.
Mokuba was standing in the elevator with his back towards Michi crying.
"Come on Mokuba. It's alright. Why are you crying?" she asks even though she already knows the answer.
"I'm just so sick of him choosing work over me. I just wanted to talk. It's not like it would have taken up that much of his time." replies Mokuba between sobs and as the elevator door closes.
"I know. But your brother just wants you to have an easier life. He works really hard to give you all the things you have now." says Michi.
"It's just that sometimes I want things to be like they were back when we were in the orphanage with you. Even though times were hard I knew that he'd always be there for me. He even smiled back then." says Mokuba.
Michi smiled and took Mokuba's hand.
"Come on. I'll take you out for ice cream. I'm sure your brother won't mind." she says as they step out of the elevator and into the lobby.
Mokuba smiles and nods.
Kyoko Street/Outside of Kaiba Corp.
Jounouchi was rushing to get to his sister Shizuka's house to pick her up, but when he got to the subway he realized that it was shut down for the day. Why do they have to shut it down the one day I need it? What does the world have against me? He thought as he ran as fast as he could. As he was running he was looking down at his watch to make sure he could get to Shizuka as soon as possible and ran into some people. Jounouchi hit the ground hard and when he tried to get up he realized that there was a katana at his throat. Oh shit. He thought.
"Jounouchi-kun?" said a familliar voice.
He looked up to see Mokuba and the dark haired girl that was with Kaiba earlier.
"Uh, hey Mokuba, mind calling off the psycho with the sword here?" said Jounouchi casually.
Michi takes her katana away from Jounouchi's throat and sheaths it. Jounouchi rubs his throat thinking of what might have happened if it was someone else he ran into.
"Why are you in such a hurry Jounouchi-kun?" asks Mokuba.
"I have to go to my sister's and pick her up." he replies
"Do you want a ride or something?" asks Mokuba.
"Really?" says Jounouchi "Wait I doubt Kaiba would want to help me and you're way too young to drive."
"Oh." says Mokuba "Well, I don't know the drivers number, but..."
Mokuba looks at Michi with puppy dog eyes. Michi sighs.
"Alright, I'll get my car. Come on follow me. You're lucky we go way back."
"I know, I know. Thanks Michi-chan." replies Mokuba.
Michi lead Mokuba and Jounouchi to her car which was parked not far from Kaiba Corp. It wasn't long before they got to her car.
"Damn. That's one hell of a car." says Jounouchi in awe.
Michi's car was a black convertible with red dragons painted on the side and roof. And the fact that it had 20 inch rims ain't bad either. Without a reply Michi takes out her keys and unlocked her car doors with the push of a button. She gets in and Mokuba gets in the passenger seat beside her.
"Come on I don't have all day." she says to the blond who was still standing there staring at her car.
Jounouchi finally snapped out of it and got in the car. Michi started the engine and they were off.
"So where do you need to go?" asks Michi.
"Tobareni street." replies Jounouchi as he admires the leather interior of the car.
"Could have told me sooner." Michi says as she makes a quick U-turn which throws Jounouchi against the seat, since he didn't fasten his seatbelt.
"Damn." says Jounouchi as he quickly fastens his seatbelt.
Michi turns on some music, and pumps it full blast. Mokuba yelled with excitement as they drove down the street. Damn. This girl is insane. Well she has to be to be Kaiba's bodyguard. Why must everything I do make me think of Kaiba dammit! Thought Jounouchi as he looked at the passing blurred buildings. As the streets whipped past him Jounouchi found himself in a nostalgic mood. Maybe it was the adrenaline or maybe it was the fact that the song in Michi's car had changed and it was playing "Tune the Rainbow" by Sakamoto Maaya. What makes me think that Kaiba will ever feel anything for me besides hate? It's just impossible. Thought Jounouchi we're from two different worlds. I mean, he's rich and famous while I'm a poor nobody. "Daijoubu..." blasted the speakers. Right... daijoubu my ass. How can I when I have all these feelings for someone who doesn't even think of me as anything besides a second-rate duellist and a mutt? God, why do I have to have these feelings for that asshole...?
A/N: Okay, I know this chapter is kind of short and it ended on a really depressing, sad, emotional, some would even say sappy mood. But hey, it's love. At times it hurts like a bi...and at times you can't stop smiling. There will be more chapters to come and I really hope that people are actually reading this unlike what I do, skip everything but the actual fanfic.(I don't do that... ... shifty eyes) Anyway please review and comment on my first fanfic ever. If you don't say something nice, I'm afraid there will be some accidents... involving me, a katana, some guns, some knifes... ... well you get my point. (The point: Review dammit! Review!And I mean nice review not you bit.. I mean.. nagging on me...lol) This is remake of my original first chapter of Torn Between Love and Hate because people found it hard to read and there were a few mistakes. But the chapter is exactly the same except for those tiny little changes.
