Katsuya

I am so exhausted and soaked. I'm currently in the elevator on my way up to the room. I went site seeing while Seto did his business crap, the only problem is I realized I didn't have enough money to get back to the hotel; I ended up walking back in the pouring rain. Stupid, cheap Kaiba only gave me one hundred lousy dollars.

"Fall in a puddle?" I hear Seto ask me as I drag myself into the room.

"Funny," I answer sarcastically. I take my sopping shirt off and hang it in the bathroom and do the same with my pants. I change my boxers and put on a fresh shirt and cuddle up in my blanket on the couch a.k.a. my bed. Seto looks up from his laptop on the table.

"You look like an Inuit only blonde." I give him a dirty look and sneeze. "I was worried about you." I look at him surprised.

"You were?" He closes his laptop and walks towards me.

"It's eleven PM Jou." I sneeze again. And he looks to his room then back at me. "Come on," he sighs.

"Come on what?"

"You can sleep in the bed."

"No." I say firmly.

"What? Why?" he asks me confused.

"You'd never let me live it down that you had to give 'your' bed up to me." He frowns and comes to me.

"Don't be stubborn." He bends down and picks me up maiden style.

"What the fuck are you doing? Put me down!" I yell.

"Shut up, the other people in the hotel will hear you," he says as he carries me to the bedroom. I start to flail around to get him to put me down. "Jounouchi stop it!" she shouts and then the next thing I know we both fall on the bed. I look at him innocently and he growls at me then stands.

"I'm not staying here Kaiba."

"Shut up, you are going to sleep here so you don't get sick. Last thing you need is another medical bill," he states flatly to me.

"No, you won't ever let me forget making you sleep on the couch and," I see Kaiba moving some pillows around, "What are you doing?"

"I never said I was going to sleep on the couch mutt," he says as he sticks another pillow in the covers down the middle. When he finished there was a large lumpy divider of pillows down the middle of the bed. "You will sleep on one side and I'll sleep on the other. If I feel you on my side though I will kick you out of the bed." He smirks with the last comment and I realize he wasn't serious about it. I feel myself blush. I climb into the bed and watch Kaiba go in bathroom. I can't see him from the bed but I can hear him moving. He reemerges with no shirt and sleeping pants that catch the light. Satin I think.

"Will I be able to see you at all tomorrow?" He stops, looks at me then starts to get in the bed.

"I don't know Jou. It's hard to tell with these stupid meetings." He reaches over and clicks off the light, "I know I rather be home with Mokuba and you than here, but one out of three isn't too bad I guess." I can't see him in the dark but I have the feeling he is smirking at me. I stare up at the ceiling and feel a chill and shiver violently in mid sneeze. "Having a seizer?"

"No," I say as if he insulted me. "I'm just cold." He doesn't reply but a bit later when I feel myself starting to drift off into sleep his hand comes over onto my side of the bed and takes my hand. First I blush then smile. I can't hear anything from Kaiba's side but I feel content so I slide off into sleep.

I wake to the sound of a door shutting. I look over to where Kaiba had been sleeping and he isn't there. I stand groggily and walk around the sweet looking for him but he isn't here. I sigh and grab one of the apples on the table then collapse on the couch to click the TV on. The news was on and they were covering a story based on the press conference tomorrow.

"Tomorrow night Seto Kaiba of Kaiba Corporation will be making a broadcast on his gaming company's new found respect for people. From past experiences we've all seen how brutal and cutthroat Mr. Kaiba has taken down millions of other companies with no caring for any of the billions of people he put on the streets. Tomorrow will see if Kaiba Corp. has really changed for the better. Up next sports-" I click the TV off and head out to find something to do for the day.

Seto

I scribble doodles on the sheet in front of me as some old man with a speech impediment is going on about foot fungus or something. I hate these idiotic meetings; they are more boring than school. I'm about at my breaking point; if I don't get out of here soon the old man talking is going to have an early burial. I feel someone nudge me so I look to my right where the pressure was coming from.

"Old windbag never knows when to shut up eh?" I nod uninterested. "Must be frustrating for you, being just a young thing." I raise an eyebrow. "It gets easier," he says leaning back in the chair, "When you get to be their age you learn how to sleep and take in the information, ha." I grunt an answer and go back to my own thoughts.

The man that was trying to talk to me is new on this level of the business world; he has one hell of a nerve to talk to me at all let alone saying what he did. I see the men stand and start to leave. I gather my things and start to leave as well. "Hey Seto!" I spin around.

"What?" I snap. Then I feel a wave of displeasure come over as I see it was the same old fool that was bothering me before.

"I have a daughter that just thinks you're the greatest, ha. Would you mind taking her on a date, Seto? As a favor for pal! I'm surprised you don't already have a girl you handsome fox!" With his last comment he hits me on the back as jolly close male friends do to one another. I narrow my eyes and pull away from him.

"Not interested," I bark. He isn't giving up though.

"Come on Seto! Who knows maybe the two of you would hit it off. That'd be great to have you as a son in law!" That was my last straw.

"Listen old man you refer to me as Mr. Kaiba and nothing else, we are not pals and I don't want to meet your idiotic-" just then I see Katsuya. I motion for him to come over, "I don't want to meet your daughter."

"Err, she's real beautiful, honest and-" Katsuya finally reaches my side and I pull him under my arm. The man looks at me and then looks at Katsuya who I can tell is utterly confused. "Oh…OH! I'm sorry!" He then walks off mumbling. I sigh and turn to Katsuya; his face is bright red.

"Uh, Kaiba? What was that all about?" He asks. I smirk at him and head back to our room. As I go I can hear him behind me still asking me what happened and threatening to shove me down the stairs if I don't tell. Once inside the room I stop and clamp my hand over his mouth.

"I needed an excuse and you made a lovely one." I remove my hand and start moving around the room.

"An excuse for what? And why did that guy look so shocked?"

"He was trying to get me to go out with his daughter and I figured instead of beating him I'd just make an excuse and help out my more personable rep more," I reply without looking at him. He is silent for a few minutes then I hear him knock something over. I turn and look at him trying to pick up the flower vase he knocked over. His face is beat red and he is acting agitated.

"Ahem," he clears his throat. "Won't he just be able to ask the other guys and find out you are straight?" I go over to Katsuya and make him stand and look at me.

"Two things pup. One, I don't just tell other business owners my sexual preference. Two what makes you think I'm straight?" He fidgets and I can tell he feels uncomfortable and in truth I feel the slightest bit of excitement bubbling in my core.

"Well…I…I just thought that," He reaches out and touches my face.

"You just thought what?" I touch his hand on my face and feel a tingle go down my spine. "You just thought because I said I didn't have time for you that I like women?"

"Well," he blushes, "Yeah." I remove his hand from my face and look into his brown eyes. "Seto can I tell you something that might be out of bounds?" I nod. "Seto, I think I love you…" My eyes open wide and my heart stops for a second. I wasn't expecting that. I can see a fear in his eyes and I want to make it go away. My shock fades into a smile; I take his face in my hands and learn down to have our lips touch.

Katsuya

I'm paralyzed in the moment. He is kissing me. Seto is kissing me! Somehow I melt out of the paralysis and close my eyes into the kiss. So soft and warm; my heart feels as if it could burst. I think my feet are moving but I'm not sure, I do know that my hands are moving. They are moving over Seto's chest and pulling the buttons of his shirt open. Our lips only remove for a second before they replace themselves upon each other. I can feel Seto breathing on my face, touching my sides and lift my shirt over my head. He reaches for my pant buttons to open them; they drop to the floor and I reach for his.

"Hmm," I hear him breath as he pulls away from my lips. I stare intently at his azure blue eyes. They are lit aflame with possession and my heart skips a beat. For the first time in my life I want to be dominated, I want to be his and let him have his power over me.

"Seto…" I whisper and he comes to kiss me again. We move toward the bed and he fulfills my wants, and my wishes. Yes it hurts and it is so different from what I am use to but it feels right. To feel his skin against mine, to hear him breath near me, and to finally stop fighting and just love him. I wonder is it the same for him? He finishes a moment before I and he lies back on the bed. I crawl over to him and place my head on his shoulder, cuddling my face into the nape of his neck. I sigh as a tear slides down my face and I feel his hand come up to remove it. I smile, "I love you Seto," I say before I slide off into sleep.

Waking I hug Seto tight, or at least what I think is Seto. I open my eyes to see that once again I have woken up alone; in my arms is a pillow. For a fleeting moment I wonder if it was a dream but is passes as fast as it came. I get out of bed only to grimace in pain. It passes though and I carefully make my way to the bathroom for a shower. In the hot water I assess how I feel; a little sore, sweaty, and slightly disappointed that Seto wasn't there when I woke up. Entering the room again I notice that all is in order; Seto must have picked it up. I dress for the conference tonight then sit on the couch in the living area. Instead of turning the TV on I just think. How things have changed, Seto and I use to be enemies now…well I'm not sure what now. I love him but does he love me? Or was I just available for him? I feel a panic come over me, what if he doesn't care like I think he does? The phone rings.

"Morning my brown eyed pup," Seto greets on the line and I can't help but smile.

"Morning, where did you go?" I ask him cheerily.

"Early meeting before the conference. I'm going to be tied up here until then." My heart sinks; I'm not going to see him all day again? "Don't worry pup we can be together at the conference." I blink; he is going to let me sit with him at the conference? "Look I have to go right now but you stay out of trouble and meet me at eight o'clock." I hear the phone click and I set the phone down.

I cautiously make my way through the pressed and refined people standing within the conference room. It's not really a conference room, as one would picture it. It's actually the Hotel's Ballroom with the chandelier lit, rich people in eveningwear, and camera's everywhere. A few of the floating camera's I recognize as ones made by Kaiba Corp. but that's pretty much it. I feel out of place and I have the impulse to run but a pair of piercing blue eyes lock with mine and I calm. I walk to him and want to hug him but he keeps me at a distance. "You look presentable. Fallow me." He says without even looking at me. I suddenly feel like I use to when I was around him, before we became close. He points to a chair; I guess he wants me to sit. He starts to walk off but I grab his shoulder.

"What is with you? You've said a total of four words to me." His eyes are hard and shallow. He feels very far away from me.

"Just stressed I guess. I have to go get ready," he answers me curtly. I open my mouth to object then close it. I then open it again.

"Hey," he turns and looks at me, "You know how I feel about you right?" he nods, half smiles at me and there is something else, sadness? He turns away from me and walks away.

I've been sitting here playing with the wax of a candle for about an hour, completely bored out of my mind. Suddenly the lights are brightened and people become quiet. Some old guy comes out on the stage and babbles about a bunch of things. A couple minutes later Seto appears. Everyone stands and claps and I do as well. Seto raises his hand and we all sit again.

"Thank you all for coming and letting me show you I do care for people. Now to start things off I'll let one of you ask a question." I watch as a news reporter at one of the front table stands.

"Mr. Kaiba you are well known for treating people cruelly and not considering the devastation you cause by closing down companies. These particular statements about you have been shown as true so much that you are known as a stone heart. Now you say you are not like that, how can we believe you when your past says different?"

"I am not like that, not any longer. Yes I admit I was all of those things you stated and I was proud of it as well. I was selfish and underhanded. I now feel regret for all of the lives I destroyed." I can't believe my ears. Is this really the Seto Kaiba I know talking? Another reporter stands.

"If what you are saying is true, what lead to this change in your ways?" Seto leaves a pause between the end of the question and before his answer as if to make the people believe he is thinking. I know that all of his answers were already written down and probably memorized.

"I have always had a soft spot. My brother was the only source of that but that changed when I saw someone I knew living in a life that I had once myself in the past. I started to help them in order to put my hatred of the people in my past to rest but along the way I actually started to care." I smile and feel slightly flushed that Seto would place me in this regard. The reporter who asked the first question stands again.

"Who is this person and just what have you done for them?" Seto waits for them to sit before answering.

"I know you all suspect it is someone completely random or someone that already had a slight in with me but you would all be wrong. The person I speak of is Jounouchi, Katsuya. The two of us has never gotten along and anyone who knows the two of us can vouch for that. I have never considered him my equal and I never will, however if it was not for me he would very well be in jail." I feel the blood rush out of my head and turn cold. Seto holds his hand up to stop the other reporters from asking questions. "I found him beaten and scrawny, ready to take his life upon a bridge. I graciously stopped him, I have let him live in my house, eat my food, I have clothed him, I have groomed him, paid for his schooling, and all of his family debts. I have also supported him with a lawyer when the authorities suspected him for his father's unfortunate demise and I was there for him when he learned of the news. I have been his moral, financial, emotional, and all around everything support. He may not be to my standards but I was not willing to watch him suffer when I had the power to do something about it!" Seto slams his fist onto the podium with his last sentence finished. I feel sick inside, how could he exploit me like this without my permission? What he says is true for the most part but he has no right.

"Mr. Kaiba, one final question. What is it that you expect in return from Mr. Jounouchi? No business man has ever done a good deed without a catch."

"That is true they haven't."

"Are you saying Sir, that you are getting nothing in return for this charity?"

"That is exactly what I am saying. I will answer no more questions. Have a good night." I watch as Seto steps off the stage and walks into the back. Several people get up and fallow him there and others start to pack up to leave. I try to make my way through the crowd to get back to where Seto is but that is proving difficult.

About twenty to thirty minutes I finally make it to the back where I see Seto talking with a man I've never seen before. I duck behind a wall and listen. "Come on Kaiba I know you are getting something in return. Spill man, I'm not going to tell my dad so you'll get the company no matter what." I can picture Seto staring hard at the man with a smirk lacing the edges of his lips.

"I am taking nothing from him but what he gives me and what he does not even know he has given me." His tone is arrogant, as if he has pulled off the biggest scam ever. The man doesn't answer right away.

"You got the sap to fall for you didn't you?" he says excitedly. "What has he given you that he doesn't know about?"

"Keep your voice down." I hear Seto snap. Now I hear a rustling, "This is what." The rustling, maybe papers? Wait that man said something about companies. They must be sale papers for companies.

"I don't get it."

"God you're dumb," Seto snarls. "Let me spell it out. By me helping out Jounouchi it built up a more positive reputation for me so I can get my hands on these," the rustling again, "Company ownership papers." I feel my heart sinking and my mouth go dry; I was only a tool for him to gain power? "Besides that it got him off my back at school as well as his nerdy friends. The idiot fell for it hook line and sinker but not only that he gave everything he is up to me." I tear rolls down my face, my heartaches, and I clench my fists. "He made a wonderful pawn," I hear him say with malicious delight. I start to walk away from the wall numbly. Is this really happening?

I find myself back in hotel room and I walk to the bedroom. Looking in I see him and I as we were just last night. I told him my feelings, I gave myself to him and now I find out I was just a tool so he could get what he wanted? I scream and slam my fists into and through the wall. They are bleeding now but I don't really feel it. I know I'm sobbing now like a little girl but I don't care. That bastard, he used me, he never wanted to-I'm such a fool. I make my way over to the couch and collapse into a wet and bloody broken heart.

Seto

I come into the hotel room. After I finished buying my new companies I went out to find Katsuya but he wasn't there. I've spent at least an hour looking for him but nothing turned up so my only guess is that he did return to the room. I see Katsuya huddled in a ball on the couch. My heart sinks and I go over to him and run my hand through is gold locks, "Katsuya-"

"Don't touch me," I hear him whisper angrily. I remove my hand and frown at him. I see his hands with dried blood on them.

"What happened to you?" I ask genuinely concerned. I look up around the room and see the holes. "Damn Katsuya. Look what you did to the wall!" My voice rises and I get up to inspect the holes. He slammed clear through the stupid walls. This is going to be a huge up on the payment for the room. "Are you listening to me?" I bark. "What the fuck possessed you to knock through the walls?" Katsuya doesn't move or say anything, has he lost all of his manners? I stock over to him and pick up by the collar and see he's been crying.

"Put me down," he says in a low voice and not looking at me. I slap him in fear.

"Knock it off!" I shout at him. He raises his head and looks at me with hate in his eyes and it sears me.

"I said put me down." He speaks calculated with hate underlying every word. I drop him down to his feet and he again drops his head so I cannot see his face.

"What's the problem Katsuya? You're beginning to test my patience. Everything I've done for you and you're still angry with me. I should have left you on that bridge!" I shout at him. Why won't he speak? Why is he this angry with me? I had a feeling my presentation would bother him but nothing like this. The only reason I showed him how I felt was so he would take today easier.

"Yes you should have!" He yells at me. He is glaring at me and his fists are clenched. "I would have rather died then go through what you have done to me! Like a fool I loved you and listened and understood you! But what did you do? You used me in everyway!" I blink at him but he doesn't seem to notice. "You never even cared about me did you? I was just something you could use for power! I thought you had changed Seto! I hate you!" His fist comes flying at my face to fast for me to block and I'm thrown to the floor. "How could you do this to me..." I hear him whisper and I look back at where he had been but he isn't there. I hear the hotel door slam.

Katsuya

I hadn't really known where I was headed when I stormed out, I only knew I had to get away from him. I ended up at the Kaiba Corp. jet and I had Roland take me home. Although I guess this place really isn't my home anymore. I had some time to think on the ride here and I came to one thing and that is that I need to go away for a while.

I put the last of my things in a bag and shove my Duel Monster cards in my jacket pocket. I'm headed to Yugi's first, to thank him and give him a proper goodbye. I'm not sure if I'll ever see him again so I want to say goodbye right but after that I don't know where I'm headed. To tell the truth I don't really think it matters anymore. My sense of what does matter keeps changing on me so that I really don't know anymore. I know my face has gone pale and my heart is aching but at least I've stopped crying.

I start to walk out of the house and I take one last look and my eyes rest on a photo. I go over to it and pick it up. Three faces look back at me, happy. Mokuba had a friend over that day and had taken the picture of us all completely covered in food. I was helping Mokuba and his friend with their volcano project but I had given them too much baking soda and it had exploded. Seto had come in to see the mess and started to yell at me for being irresponsible when Mokuba threw a clump of the volcano at him. I remember I laughed so hard my sides were aching and Seto had just been standing there completely dumbfounded. I guess my laughing at him made him angry since I soon had a mouth full of volcano. From there on it was launched into a full-fledged food fight. It had been the first time I had ever seen Seto loosen up and have some fun. I smile grimly; it would probably be better if I forgot memories like this. I take the picture out of the frame and rip myself out. I crumple my face up and drop it in a garbage can. I head back to the door and open it. I take one last look at the place I thought was my home. I feel as if a huge weight is on my chest but I close the door behind me. It's probably the last time I'll ever see the house, or Seto...

(sobs) Poor Katsuya! Good thing it's not the last chapter ne? REVIEW
