"Oh dear lord! Jou what happened to you?" my brunette female friend screeched in my ear. If anything Anzu was the loudest person I know, next to me anyway. I can't blame her for screeching like she did. I know I look like something the dog dragged in. There is an open cut on my cheek, my bottom lip is swollen, I'm lame, and there are bruises covering my body but she can't see those. It's not the first time I've come to school looking like this and they still give me that same bewildered expression, you'd think they'd be use to it by now.
"Guys calm down, I'm fine! You think this would keep the mighty Katsuya Jounouchi down? Hell no, I feel great!" I lie to them for the billionth time. I hate lying to them but they'd never understand.
Yugi is so innocent and loving and those are the reasons that I wanted him for my friend but now I think it's better that he doesn't have to see the world I'm in. Even if Atemu has exposed him to many things my world is just something he wouldn't know how to deal with. Speaking of Atemu he pisses me off. Yeah he is a good duelist and I respect him that way but after everything he's done and losing Yugi's soul, sometimes I think he is more pompous then Kaiba.
Honda and I go way back and we were always roughhousing together. But ever since that time I punched him and I told him my family life was none of his business when he wouldn't get off my case about my 'battle wounds' after that he stopped asking.
Ryou is a nice guy but like Yugi he is so untouched like that, well as far as I know. With a Yami like 'Kura you never really know but all the same this is my problem and I don't want to burden him when he has his own issue.
Anzu the perky girly type that loves life and doesn't like to think there is such evils in the world…although we all know from our time with trying to get Atemu's memories back that there is a lot of evil. Friendship is the most important thing to her and that exactly the reason I don't tell her anything. What I tell her she is going to try and make me tell the others and then give me a speech when I say no. It's just way more then I want to deal with.
Mai, beautiful get tough Mai. I love that girl with all my heart and she has been one of the greatest reasons that I have stuck it out so long. She knows about how my dad treats me and she has been willing to help me but I messed it up like the idiot I am. Mai and I had dated for a while and that's how she found out about my dad. She said it was fine but over time I saw the fear in her eyes every time she saw my new wound. I knew it was killing her inside and it was hurting me in turn. Then there was that night where I screwed up and screwed up bad. She had finally gotten to where she made me choose. I made the stupid mistake of getting mad because she didn't understand me or so it seemed anyway. It wasn't hard but I hit her all the same. I fell to pieces then I told her she should go. She tried to tell me it was all right but it wasn't; it was never right. A few weeks later she told me she had been offered a job; clothing design in America. She said she would stay and all I had to do was ask but I told her to go. I said I needed time to think and 'get well' and that was the last time I saw Mai.
"Earth to Jou, this is the home planet we would like to contact you," a firmilure sing song voice said, it was Anzu again. When I looked at her I saw that she was waving her hand in front of my face. "You know it isn't exactly nice to zone out on me when I'm talking to you." I smirk lightly and then grin, time to put my mask back on.
"You were talking? I thought it was all in my head! Well that's it! No more eating peanut butter at two in the morning!" Man I'm such a loser no wonder Kaiba makes fun of me. Kaiba…Seto Kaiba the biggest jackass in school who has a million people to choose from to pick on but he chose me. I guess I feel in a way special about that. He could have chosen some other loser but he chose me.
Seto
Pup is with his friends again. No matter what that mutt does or looks like they always embrace him with open arms. His friends my adversaries, my enemies and he is one of them too. I'm not jealous as you may think I am, I just can't get over how they slack off and they still manage to find a way to show me up somehow. Yugi does work for it though and I respect him as an opponent but he is nothing more than that. All the students here are slackers they never would have made it if they went through what I did, especially that dumb mutt considering how he handles his own problems. Maybe that is why I am hardest with him. Maybe I'm trying to toughen him up, but then why should I care what happens to that dog? I never cared before and no one has cared for me, I owe him no favors. I smirk and he looks at me why I'm smirking I'm not sure it's a natural face expression for me.
"You got something to say Kaiba?" He snaps at me with his trademark cocky attitude I know that no matter what I say it'll get on his nerves and something about that entertains me. I retract for a moment; I'm not sure what to say this time. Normally I have a retort but after that night on the bridge I just don't know how to deal with him. So I say nothing and go back to my book. I know he is looking at me as I do this but it doesn't matter it's just something else I can use to keep him guessing.
I glance at the clock several times, many times I wish for my cell to ring to say something fell apart so I have to go and tend to that. Part of me doesn't want to leave though as bored as I am. I've been having so many conflicting feelings lately; I don't feel cold and level as I usually do I have a want inside me. I know what I want, but why I have no idea. I haven't needed a friend in a long time that is if you don't count business colleges such as I had thought Pegasus and the big five had been but in the end they betrayed me just like everyone else.
I'm jarred out of my thoughts as the bell rings loudly and I hear several people try and get by me and not touch me. They are afraid of me and with good reason. I don't pay attention to them and I get up and start to leave but as I do I get jabbed in the back, by an elbow I think. I whirl around to pound whoever has done this feat to me. I come to meet chocolate brown eyes that start soft and apologetic but then become hard and fierce in preparation for a fight with me. I simply look at him and I know that he is no condition to be fighting in anyway. Hell I'm surprised the pup is still standing. I just turn away and walk away leaving him behind me.

I blink as I watch him turn his back to me. "Hey guys is it just me or is Kaiba acting weird?" I ask the others that are now beside me. They simply look at me and I turn my gaze back to the door and jog, painfully, out the door and after Kaiba. Whether my friends are calling to me I'm not sure. I just have to find him, find out why, why…why…
I walk by another window and I see him sitting outside under a sakura tree with headphones on. I walk slowly outside not knowing how I'm going to break into talking with him. He has the music up loud and I can hear it along with…him singing? That's certainly something I never pictured but he has a nice voice. I stand there and just listen for a few moments. I know the song pretty well it's Behind blue eyes. As I start to lose myself in the song I notice that he is no longer singing and is looking at me.
"Are you just going to stand there mutt or are you going to come and sit down already?" I'm slightly shocked he didn't tell me get the fuck away from him or threaten me to pound me into the ground if I told anyone I heard him singing. But I walk over lamely while gripping my stomach and sit down carefully. We sit here for a few moments just listening to the music that is playing and not looking at each other. He breaks the silence first. I wish it had been me since I had been the one to go looking for him but how do you ask someone that has been your nemesis for so long if they knew…what happens to you.
"Are you going to go back home?" he asks and I don't really answer him. I don't want to but I think he knows my answer anyway. He narrows his eyes at me as if he thinks I'm asking to be killed.
"I'm guessing from that question you know then." He nods a reply to my question. I look down at my lap and start talking, "It's not that bad. I do deserve everything he gives me and…it's not like anyone cares of would miss me that much." He spins his head around and looks me dead in the eyes and I see confusion?
"What the hell are you saying? Your friends' flip out every time you have a scratch on you. You're pathetic Jounouchi, to think that you're so special to think no one would care. You give in so easily it sickens me. If you are going to be like that then you deserve everything that bastard has done to you. You're not supposed to be a numb person Jounouchi and it's disgusting to see you as one." His words are harsh but I'm not affected. As soon as harsh words come out now they don't affect me because like he said I am numb. What am I to say to that though? What could I say to that and not sound defensive? I guess I'll just let my mouth run. I open my mouth and turn to talk to him I suddenly notice that he is gone and the school bell is ringing telling me that I'm supposed to be in my next class within 5 minutes. I get up and rush to my next class and ignoring my physical pain.
The day has been hell and it is just starting. As soon as I get home I'm in store for…whatever he wants to do. I just don't want to take it anymore! I'm sick and tired of it, sick…I'm going to be sick. I have to hurry over the side of the road as I feel the hot liquid starting to rise in the back of my throat. It comes out hot, watery and reddish. It's not the first time I've thrown up blood but the doctor told me that it's going to keep coming up for awhile. There is a possibility that I may just bleed to death. Yeah he is killing me and I don't know if I care I just want the pain to end.
I wipe my mouth and walk another mile or so when I come upon the bridge knowing that it is only a half mile home after I pass it but as I start to go by I feel a hand reach out and grab my arm which swung me around to meet the hooded man once again. "Jounouchi I can't let you go back there."
