Disclaimer: I don't own it…if I did, I'd be rich and live in a mansion like Kaiba's with the worlds biggest library of Anime DVD's and mangas known to man. But I don't now do I?

"Yes! Just please, come home and eat and sleep. Otherwise, you'll drop dead, and then who would run KaibaCorp? 'Cuz the Imp's still a bit young, don't you think?" Jou joked quietly. Seto nodded slowly, and with the help of Jou, Mokie, and Jerry, managed to get home safely.


Chapter Six: Recovery

"Oh, great. Kaiba's back. It's about damn time! Mokuba's been moping around the mansion and wouldn't cooperate with me!" Zhira muttered under her breath as she cooked up a pot of chicken noodle soup for her boss.

"I should probably put some rat poison in here…teach him a lesson…Kira hasn't come back either…" she muttered.

"Don't you dare poison Seto!" Jou said angrily. Zhira waved the very sharp knife she had been using to cut up the chicken, at Jou.

"Do you want to have your throat slit? Then SHUT UP! I'm cooking. Besides, unlike you, I'm not stupid. If I kill Kaiba, I'll have no one to give me money. I'll have no job!"

"You're very selfish." Jou spat.

"I know, ain't I great?" Zhira smirked.

She handed Jou a bowl of soup. Jou took it and went upstairs to Seto. Seto was laying in bed, sleeping. Jou smiled and gently shook him awake.

"Seeetoo, wake up. I've got soup. It smells very good, and I made sure Zhira didn't slip in anything lethal." Jou grinned. Seto sat up in bed.

"Th-thanks Jou…" Seto weakly ate his soup. He was recovering from his delirium and was feeling very self-conscious.

"You're welcome. Just don't ever pull a stunt like that again. You nearly died," Jou sniffled.

"Why do you care?" Seto answered, sounding a bit more harsh than he had meant to. Jou flinched at his tone.

"What I mean is…," Seto stared down at his soup, refusing to look at Jou, "Why'd you come back? I hit you, and chased you away, but you still came back." Seto whispered.

"The Imp, er, I mean, Mokuba was really scared for you. He called me for help. He told me what you were doing to yourself." Jou watched Seto as he said this. Seto felt his heart drop. 'So Jou did this for Mokuba…at least he cares for one of the Kaibas' Seto thought.

"I did this because, I didn't want you to hurt yourself. Because I wanted to see you again," Jou continued.

"Why would you want to see me again? I've done nothing but hurt you," Seto got the courage to look up at Jou.

"I've always…I always enjoyed our fights, it gave me an excuse to get near you. It hurt to know that you hated me, but at least I was near you, even for a little bit. It was worth all those mean things you would say. But then, you brought me here to be your puppy. I had so much fun. You held me like you loved me. And then you went on and told me that you DID love me. I was so happy, I felt like I was going to burst. Because…I love you too." Jou said, blushing a bright cherry red.

"You…love me?" Seto asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, hard to believe that a stray mutt like me fell for an arrogant Moneybags like you, huh?" Jou laughed nervously.

"I love you too. Lousy, messy, loud, adorable puppy," Seto replied. Jou's face lit up with joy.

"Not like you're any better, Rich kid. You're soup's getting cold, eat it before I do," Jou laughed. Seto mock pouted.

"Awww, puppy. I'm too tired," Seto whined. Jou grinned. He walked over and sat next to Seto in bed.

"Guess I'll have to spoon feed you." And Jou did just that.


Kira appeared next to Zhira. This surprised Zhira and she dropped the pie she was baking. Kira looked like she had been crying but was now wearing a big grin.

"Where'd you run off to?" Zhira asked irritably.

"Kilam, the Head Fairy, summoned. He banished me from the Realm of Fairies. But that's not important. SETO AND JOU GOT BACK TOGETHER!" she yelled happily. Mokuba came running into the kitchen.

"Big brother and Jou are upstairs, and they're getting along again!" he said chirped. Zhira rolled her eyes as the two jumped around in each other's arms.

"True love conquers all!" Kira levitated with Mokuba in her embrace. Mokuba looked at Kira suddenly.

"So, I heard that you were banished. Where will you stay?" he asked.

"I was hoping to stay with Zhira…" Kira trailed off.

"My apartment's not big enough for the both of us…I'll move into the mansion and you and I can stay here." Zhira said sharply.

"I don't think Seto would like that." Mokuba said, brows furrowed.

"Tch, like I care. Anyway, this mansion's too big for just three people," she muttered.

"Three?" Kira questioned.

"I am NOT letting that mutt leave. Seto would try starving himself again, and then who'd pay me?" she smirked. Kira and Mokuba looked at each other and smiled.

"Sounds good to me!" they cried concurrently.


Seto and Jou lay in bed, an empty soup bowl between them. Seto was a bit drowsy. He was about to nod off, when he shot up in bed, with panic clear in his eyes. He looked at Jou, who was staring at him curiously.

"If I go to sleep, promise you'll be here when I wake up?" he asked, a tinge of fright in his voice.

"Of course, Seto." Jou replied. Seto moved the soup bowl to his side table. He scooted closer to his blonde puppy and wrapped his arms around him. Jou snuggled into Seto's warm chest.

"I love you, Katsuya, my puppy."

"I love you too, Seto."

And they fell asleep together. In each others arms. Both knowing, that once they awoke, they'll be with the one they love.

Kaibas' my need no one, Kaibas' may be cold and heartless…

But, Seto needed his puppy, Seto is warm and loving towards his puppy.

So, who was he? Kaiba or Seto?

He is Seto, a cold businessman whose heart was melted by a puppy
