Sorry for the wait. School started last Monday and I have gotten next to
no computer time. I had to wait until the weekend came before I could get
a chance to work on my fics. Still, even though it is the weekend, I don't
get the computer until late at night. That is the only time I get. So,
enough complaining out of me. Enjoy the story.
Is it a cabin or a prison?
(Jou POV)
I hate this. I hate to fact that half of my friends or gay even if I support them. I hate the fact that the other half of my friends are straight. I hate the fact that I'm stuck sitting next to Kaiba. I hate to fact that I have to spend the next four days with him. I hate to fact that my dad died, even if I don't show it. And I hate the view from this window but there is really nothing else to do so I just keep on watching out the window.
I glance down at my arm for a second. I slowly pull up the sleeve of the shirt and look at what lies beneath it. Sure enough, the cuts on my wrist were still there. I ran my opposite thumb over them. I could still feel the indents that I had made. Six thin cuts across my wrist. One for each member of my family that had died over the years I've been alive.
"You'd think that would have healed by now. I mean they ain't that deep or nothing." I thought pulling my sleeve back down.
"What? Is the dog trying to hide his booboo?" Kaiba asked obviously seeing the cuts on my arm.
"Shut the fuck up before I give you a booboo to worry about." I shot back. Kaiba didn't know anything about me or my cuts I would like to keep it that way.
(Kaiba POV)
"Shut the fuck up before I give you a booboo to worry about."
I looked back towards my book and thought better than to piss him off any more. Its fun to make him mad but not as much so when he's mad already.
Look at that. He's trying to hide his arm from me now. Just how dense does he think I am. Am I just supposed to believe that he tripped and fell to get those? There is no way to get cuts that even unless you do them yourself.. Stupid mutt.
(Normal POV)
A mere minutes later, The bus pulled down the road that led to the ski lodge. The lodge was huge. The ground was covered in snow knee deep. Scattered around were hundreds of cabins about the size of a descent sized apartment.
As the bus neared the lodge, in the middle of a half circle of cabins, Jou could see the ski lift leading to the upper parts of the mountain. There were also a couple busses up ahead that didn't look like the beat up broken down one he was riding in.
Soon the bus reached its stop and Couch Morty stepped in front of everyone before they could get off.
"Sit back in your seats. I am going to go check in and when I get back we are going to review the rules." After listening to all of the whining for his students, the couch left.
Jou sat back in his seat. He turned his head to look out his window but not before popping his neck. It had gotten extremely stiff during the ride up to the lodge. Then, Jou started to pop every single one of his knuckles.
"Will you desist?" Kaiba glared at Jou. Mokuba used to annoy the hell out of him by doing that. Kaiba just could not stand the sound of popping joints.
"Why Kaiba?" Jou then popped his wrist. "Does it bother you?"
"As a matter of fact, it unnerves me. So if you don't mind, stop it before I brake every single one of your bones so nothing will ever pop again." Kaiba looked back towards his book and continued to read, or at least pretend to.
"Ya know. He's been reading that forever now and he isn't that far into it. He can't possibly read that slow. Maybe Mr. Jack Ass over there really isn't as smart as he wants everyone to believe." Jou thoughts were cut off by the sounds of Couch Morty getting back on the bus.
"All right troops. We are all signed it. Girl's cabins are to your right and boy to your left. Breakfast is at 8 o'clock, lunch at 12 o'clock, and dinner at 6 o'clock. If you miss a meal, you are just going to have to deal with it. This is the only vacation I get and you guy are not going to ruin it for me. The first person who says two words to me once we get off the bus will most likely spend all of next term in detention." Coach Morty was not the type of person you disturb. He would probably bite anyone's head off of who ever bothers him. "Al right people, lets move." With that, everyone filed out of the bus.
Because Kaiba was not one to run off the bus jumping for joy, he remained seated until everyone, other than Jou and himself, was off the bus before putting down his book and exiting the bus.
As he was getting off, it took all of Jou strength not to kick Kaiba's ass down the steps of the bus.
"Jou! Is that you?" Jou looked to the side of him and saw a young women, a few years older than Jou, running towards him.
"Hey Mai." Mai finally reached him and gave him a huge bear huge. "What are you doing here?" Jou asked after Mai finally let him breath again.
"My senior class is up here for the week. (1) How about you?" Mai asked. It had been ages since she last saw Jou.
"I'm here for the next 4 days." Jou saw Kaiba walking toward a cabin out of the corner of his eye. "Sorry Mai, but I have to catch up with my roommate. I'll see you later, ok?"
"You better." Bye Jou." Mai waved good-bye as Jou ran off to the cabin he saw Kaiba enter. "I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
Jou had his bag with him and was just about to his cabin when Honda and Otogi stopped him.
"Hey Jou. You and Mai gonna hook up while were here or something?" Honda asked.
"Oh hey guys. Naw. Ya know me and Mai are just friends. Besides we all know she's way out of my league." Jou answered. There was a faint blush starting to cover his face.
"Maybe she'll go out with me than." Otogi put in.
"You go ahead and go for it. I'm sure Anzu will just love to here about what you did while you were away on vacation." Jou smirked. Everyone knew Otogi and Anzu were a couple. There was no chance in hell that he could cheat on her and get away with it.
"Shut the fuck up. It's not my fault I'm attached." Otogi offered in his defense. Just then Yugi and Yami walked past on their was back to the lodge from their cabins. "Hey guys, there go the faggots." Otogi yelled so that everyone could here.
Yugi just ignored Otogi's comment but, Yami did no such thing. Yami was going to get revenge on Otogi one way or another.
"Hey Jou, what do you thin." Otogi turned around to notice Jou wasn't there anymore. He turned around to find Jou but didn't see him. He was just too stupid to look at the ground and see foot prints leading to cabin 15.
Kaiba was sitting peacefully in his cabin reading, again. He was sitting on a couch in the middle of the living room that had a coffee table and a fire place in front of it. On one wall was the door leading to the bed room. The bedroom had two full sized beds that were pushed together and looked like just one huge bed. In the corner the was a table with a clock on it.
On the other side of the living room was the door that led to the bathroom. The bathroom was about the same size as the bedroom. There was a huge bath tub and a separate shower. There were stacks and stacks of towels and wash cloths.
Suddenly Jou rushed into the cabin out of breath. He panted for a second before getting a look at the room he was in.
Kaiba didn't even look up from his book as Jou walked around the cabin. He took his stuff into the bedroom and threw it on the bed. That was about when he realized the fact that the beds were right next to each other.
Jou walked back into the living room and sat down next to Kaiba and peeked at the book he was reading.
"Is there something you need mutt." Kaiba didn't even look up from his book. His voice showing no emotion at all that could even hint at what he was thinking.
"I was just wondering what you've reading this whole time." Jou tried to stop the front of the book but he couldn't read it. He kept inching closer until he was right next to Kaiba.
Kaiba then stopped reading and was in complete shock as to the position the mutt had put the two of them in. In all of his inching closer, Jou was not just right next to Kaiba, he was practically on top of him.
Kaiba's heartbeat was going really fast. His breathing was becoming a little ragged and this was just from being next to the mutt. Jou was just so close. His hand was rubbing against Kaiba's knee. Kaiba could feel his breathing on him as Jou kept trying to read Kaiba's book.
Of course, Jou was oblivious to all of this. He had no idea that he had put the two of them in an awkward position. "Hey Kaiba." Kaiba was snapped out of his state of shock to look in Jou's direction. "What have you been reading. You never answered me."
That was about when Kaiba turned back to ice. "And since when do I bother answering the questions of mutts?" Jou glared at Kaiba and he sighed. "Not that it is any of your concern, but I am reading "Left Behind". It doesn't have any pictures in it so I don't think you'd like it very much." Kaiba sneered.
Jou didn't even bother replying to him. He just stormed out of the cabin. He was in some desperate need of fresh air all of a sudden.
(1) - In this fic, Mai is a senior in high school but she goes to a private school, which hints all of the more expensive looking busses. And no, This is not going to be a Mai/Jou fic. I just added Mai in there for something later on.
Sorry no real Seto/Jou stuff yet. Don't worry, it is coming. And I an a huge fan of this couple so if any of you can recommend a good Set/Jou fic I would be very grateful.
Ok, well please review. I want to hear anything, anybody has to say. Except no flames. They was just be laughed at. Don't waste both of out time by writing them.
Till next chapter then.
