Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh if I did I'd be a very rich middle school teen living in a beautiful mansion swimming in lots of cash and be Queen of Games.
A/N: I'm for taking so long on this story. You see 8th grade is very hard, well for my opinion, we had like 7 projects to do it's very tiring and it takes up all your free time. I'm so sorry that this chapter is going to be short, well short in my opinion. I shall try and make a longer chapter in Chapter 7. Well onto the story! Let's see how Seto and Jou see each other!
Oh yeah one last thing.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETO KAIBA!
/Hikari to Yami/ and #Yami to Hikari#

Chapter 6: Jou's Awakening Surprise
The black sleek limo car door quickly swung open with a force that could brake a door at a single swing. A young brown haired teen ran up the white steps yelling curses under his breath. Even he wasn't that cold hearted. "Damn it! Don't go into shock!
Clank. Clank. The noises from his black boots as they hit each step of stairs. 'Why am I even caring about him? He's just a stupid mutt! Isn't he?!'
A childlike chuckle reached his ears, he groaned instantly. 'Why now?!'Still climbing up the treacherous stars he wondered why he put the whole lot of stairs in the first place. 'I need to make a shorter length of stairs next time.'
"Seto give in already don't deny what you're feeling."Just for that moment he forgot about the voice, but now it was back in his mind again. "Tell him how you feel and you'll never have to hear from me again, well maybe once in a while I'll pop up."
Kaiba growled, the voice was back to torture him again or at least try to get him to tell his feelings to Jounouchi. 'WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!'He clutched his head with one hand after thinking or rather shouting that in his mind. His head was pounding now he really needed that Advil.
Another chuckle arose, that didn't work. "Tsk. Tsk. What am I going to do with you Seto."The said person growled, will this person just leave him alone! "Please tell him for my sake??"
This was irritating him more, his eyes narrowed ready to kill something in a heartbeat if this didn't stop. "SHUT UP!"The voice pouted after that before disappearing from the young teen's hearing.
"Damn it!"He cursed remembering why he was running and finally arrived in front of the gigantic doors of the Kaiba mansion. Quickly he slammed the giant white doors open, the slam echoing throughout the mansion's walls.
He ran, through halls and halls, after passing the main stairs. There was no time to waste, that's for sure. A soft wincing of pain was heard, it was getting worse. Kaiba looked down at the face of the young blonde. All pale and milky looking, the signs of a worse condition. "Shit."
He opened the door of the medical room, it took only about 15 minutes to get there. Soon after he opened the door a young woman in her thirties looked at him and then at Jounouchi. "Seto,"She gasped."This is serious. Now don't just stand there! Put the patient over there and leave everything to me."
Kaiba nodded walking rather quickly, but it went unnoticed by the young doctor. He saw a stretcher and carefully placed the young blonde boy on it removing his now bloody trench coat. After doing that he looked to the long Auburn haired woman.
This was the same person who helped him during the times his father did "that" to him. Her name is Yume Yuki, translated in English; "Dream Snow".Her crystal blue eyes showed a carrying look every time she visits the Kaiba family. She always cared for the Kaiba family, but her most favorite patient though was Seto Kaiba himself.
She always comforted him in times of need, like a mother who cares for her child. Even though she was 19 at the time she was a great nurse. Jounouchi was in best hands, she always cured his problems. "Well I'll be going now."He turned his back to her.
She smiled. "I'll take good care of him Seto, just like all those years ago I promise."She was also one of the few people who ever called him Seto. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone either, you know me."
A rare moment passed just then, a soft grin arose on the young CEO's face. He walked back to the door and opened it just a bit before saying; "Be sure to come see me when you're finished."
"You can count on it, now relax Seto, go do some relaxing stuff."She waved at him before her attention was at the poor blonde. Kaiba on the other hand walked out of the room and sighed before walking off.
He arrived in his room a few minutes later quickly walking over to sit on his bed. A content sigh escaped his lips, everything was now peachy after that incident. "Mokuba's out at a friend's house so I got the whole house to myself,"He began to list some things to do and can't do so he'd get his whole "relaxing day" organized.
"Going to Kaiba Corp.."He thought about that for a minute before deciding. "The work can wait for later."He laid back on his silky blue bed. His arms behind his head staring at a Blue Eyes painted picture on the ceiling.
Suddenly he sat up clutching his head feeling a sharp pain. "Now I remember what I planned for today. Take some Advil."He stood up and shook his head, trying to shake the pain away. "Well that didn't work."
Walking downstairs, which took about 10 minutes, Seto arrived at his private kitchen. He was the only one who knew of this place and the only one who built it. He walked over to a cabinet and opened it up.
It was the medical cabinet, all sorts of medical things were in there. It reminded him of what had happened in the past, but he shook it off. Taking an Advil bottle, he looked at the directions. Which after he did, took the two pills that were required.
He walked over to another cabinet and took out a cup. It was a cup that Mokuba made in the "Advanced Fine Arts" class. A beautiful picture of a Blue Eyes face on the front and a little face of him smiling. "Thanks Mokuba."
Making his way to the living room, the pills in one hand and cup in another, he sat down on a couch. Taking the two pills in his hand he took it followed by refreshing his mouth with Orange Juice.
"Who ever knew this combination tasted awful."Turning on the tv he flipped through channels while sipping his juice. Putting it on the coffee table he continued to watch and flip through channels.
Starting to drift, the medication in effect he laid on the couch. As soon as he did the doorbell rang. The CEO grumbled softly while standing up and walking to the door. Threatening to kill the person who dared to interrupt him at a time like this.
Opening the door with annoyance he saw Yuugi grinning. "What do you want Mutou?"Something told him that he wasn't grinning for the rescue of Jou, so what was it? The other just grinned very suspiciously.
"I know you have Jounouchi."
Kaiba just scoffed. "No I do not have the mutt, I've been here since I left your house."He lied, but he had a good reason to. If Yuugi knew, he would tell the rest of his friends and that wouldn't be good. It would ruin his reputation, wasn't that a good reason?
Yuugi giggled. "Then who's "Blue Eyes Dragon"huh?"
"Why are you asking me this Mutou? I don't know, maybe some other person likes the "Blue Eyes White Dragon". There's a possibility."Kaiba's patience for the other to leave was very thin. Thinner that at any moment that the CEO would strangle the other to death.
A chuckle was heard well for Kaiba to hear anyway. "Aw..you're afraid of Yuugi ruining your reputation.."Kaiba growled mentally, his patience growing even thinner since now the annoying voice has showed. "Tell him Seto, come on I know you wanna."
If the voice was real he would surely strangle the person who was speaking it at this very moment, but sadly it wasn't. While Kaiba was busy with the voice in his head which was annoying him to no end. Yuugi invited himself inside the mansion and started to look in awe at the hugeness.
When the young CEO snapped back into reality he looked to see that Yuugi was out of his sight. Closing the door not sure of what happened to little Yuugi he looked behind him. To his surprise Yuugi was there admiring his vase. "Wow. What a cool looking vase. I wonder how much it cost."
Kaiba growled silently, since when was he invited in the mansion? He might as well go with it, even though it annoyed him to hell. Walking toward the couch and turning off the tv he waited for Yuugi.
The young duelist blinked but shrugged and walked to a chair. Sitting down the CEO followed suit. Silence filled the room or mansion for a few minutes before Yuugi broke the silence. "Do you like Jou?"
This was the same question Jou's old man was asking him, another situation for Kaiba. There was another silence before the CEO finally answered. "Why would I like a dog like him?"
'Because you love him!'The voice was back again, the damn voice. 'Don't deny it, don't make excuses, silly Seto confess.'At this rate Kaiba would surely be caused to scream his head off. 'Come on tell him, tell him.'And pretty soon he might even say "Shut up" to his little brother since his voice was pretty similar.
Yuugi and Yami didn't buy it being the ones to know almost everyone's feelings. /Yami he's not telling the truth./
Yami nodded his transparent head. #I can sense he's lying, even if I was back at the game shop I would still sense it.#
"Where's Jou?"Yuugi continued to ask the annoyed teen. /I wonder when he'll tell us the truth./
Yami shrugged. #Who knows, you know Kaiba is the most arrogant person we've met.#
Kaiba growled, he'd just explained it to him. "I told you I don't know."Why won't he leave him alone, it's not like he think he likes Jou. No wait he does think he liked Jou.
Yuugi looked at his watch, pretending that something was up. /Well guess we'll come back later right Yami?/
Yami nodded. #Yup and maybe by then he'll show his affections to Jou.#
"Well see ya later Kaiba."He stood up and ran to the door. Opening it a bit before turning to Kaiba he smiled. "See you at school tomorrow. I shall look for Jounouchi now."Shutting the door he left Kaiba to his thoughts.
Kaiba looked up at the ceiling in deep thought. 'Why do I feel so confused all of a sudden?'Just then loud footsteps was heard throughout Kaiba's ears. Looking to the source he saw Dr. Yuki running.
Standing up from the couch he walked to the panting doctor who was holding her knees while standing. "How is he Yume?"The Auburn haired woman looked up holding up one finger which signaled for "one minute".
Once she was refreshed she stood up, taking a deep breath to explain. "Well his wounds wasn't what I was expecting. I haven't seen this kind of wounds before well on tv once but that doesn't really count. He has three broken ribs as I can tell, a broken leg, and a broken wrist."
She shook her head before continuing. "Sometime in a month or less he'll wake up, but don't let him move too much."She grabbed some things from her white medical bag. "Here, some bandages. You'll be the one to take care of him."
Kaiba groaned mentally but he promised himself so he just went along to what she was saying. "Ok then, you'll have to change his bandages every 4 hours and when he wakes up be sure to make him get lots of rest. Well see you later Seto, I'll check back on him whenever in a month."
Walking to the door, she blew a kiss to the young teen and closed the door. Kaiba smiled, she always acted like a mother to him, even to this day. He sighed. "Guess there's more work for me to do."Then he walked up the stairs to take care of poor little Jou.

Damn..where am I? I feel like total shit, literally. What happened? I blinked my eyes trying to focus on the room I was in. Silk? What the hell? All I saw around me was the color blue, who do I know likes the color blue?
Click. Click. What was this sound? It sounds familiar. I listened to the sound acutely. Wait a minute it's someone typing. I looked to the right side of where I was laying on and the sight I saw surprised me. It was Seto.
He was doing his usual typing I guessed but...with glasses? He looks pretty cool with those on right now. I blushed. Seto with glasses? Wow.. I bet I'm blushing right now, this always happens when I see something cool on him.
'Something doesn't feel right. I feel like I'm being watched.'Kaiba stopped typing as soon as he thought that and looked toward me. 'So the puppy's awake.'
He didn't notice the red tinge on my cheeks as he looked at me laying on the bed. 'You know he looks like a cute little puppy from here.'Realization hit him. 'I did not just think that! I don't like the mutt!'
'You just won't give in, huh? Well sooner or later it's going to come back to you.'The voice was back more irritating as ever. 'You know you're starting to get on my nerves.'The voice chuckled. 'Well that's my job, I'm supposed to irritate you to tell Jounouchi how you feel about him.'
Kaiba growled mentally but ignored the voice as he went back to continuing his attention on me. I looked away, I'm acting like a girl for some reason. Only girls are like this, damn it I'm no girl! I'm a boy not a girl!
I looked back just for a moment to him taking his glasses off ever gracefully before looking away from him. "Have a nice nap pup?"There we go again, will he ever say anything else to me than those doggy insults?
"How many times do I have to tell you Kaiba. I'm no dog!"I growled, even though I like him doesn't me he has to humiliate me with those doggy insults at school or when he's around me.
I tried to get out of the bed and out the door but a sharp pain hit me. All over my body, now I knew I was feeling in deep shit. It was then I remembered all of last night's events. Who saved me? Was it Kaiba? I winced, this pain hurts so bad.
"You shouldn't move very much if you know what's good for you."I heard Kaiba say, hey wait. Is he worried about me? I looked at him before I let out a "hmpf",laying back on the bed.
I wonder, what's going on in his mind. Is he actually thinking of me? Is he worried about me? I wish I can read him like Yuugi can, but all I see is his cerulean eyed gaze that holds no emotion. "How long was I asleep for?"
"About 3 weeks at the most."
My eyes felt like popping out from my wide eyed gaze. "3-3 weeks!"Jeez, it usually only takes me a day or two to wake up from my fathers beatings. Guess I was beaten that badly.
"Don't worry your father is already in the hands of the police."
What the? How does he know about my father? Was he really the one who saved me from him? I blinked at him confused, very confused. "Why are you helping me?"Why is he? Does he like me?
I saw him turn away, I guess he's going to leave me alone now. "Maybe it's because,"He took a deep breath before continuing. "I made a promise I need to keep."
Huh? I blinked. I'm still confused. What does he mean? That was when he turned back to me but something was different. I couldn't make it out. His sharp cerulean eyes staredright into my honey-brown eyes. Honey-brown to cerulean, cerulean to honey-brown.
What's going on here?
