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: Sorry for the late update, it's school, time, and homework. Everything is fine right now, just turned in an Essay on what we did on our boat lab in Science. This will be a comedy chapter so don't expect any Drama or Angst. Those will come back next chapter. Two more seasons of Yuugiou over here in America and it's done. Well after Doom Organization or what the dub calls it, "Waking the Dragons". Anyone else think that's a stupid title besides me? I saw last Saturday's first of two episodes on KidsWB and I'm so mad that they cut out a scene I would have loved to see in English. In Ep. 160 you know how Joey holds Yami by the collar of the shirt when he was feeling sorry for himself for losing Yuugi's soul well Jou was supposed to punch Yami to put some sense back into him, but they cut that out and they showed Anzu, Honda, and Otogi then Yami on the ground..DARN YOU DUB! Well I'm rambling so I'll let you go read the story.
P.S. - This chapter was supposed to be uploaded on Nov. 24, but I couldn't since the button was disabled for that day.

Would he kill himself to take away this pain or experience love in the process of it and be forever with his love? -takes place after Battle City- -YAOI/SHONEN-AI pairings: Seto/Jou and Yami/Yuugi. -

Chapter 7: Yuugi's Surprised Visit
Have you ever felt this feeling when you look into your crush's eyes? This feeling you get...doesn't it feel very uneasy and you can feel a blush forming in your cheeks? To me, this is what I felt when I looked into Seto Kaiba's eyes.
Looking deep into his eyes, I saw something astonishing. There was a hint of worry in those cerulean eyes, I just couldn't believe it. The Seto Kaiba worried about me? This was totally unexpected to me, I blinked, and pinched myself literally. Ouch. Ok that wasn't a good idea.
It was all real though, I expected this to be a dream but surprisingly it wasn't. Man, oh, man, what am I going to do now? Jeez I'm still acting like a girl damn it! I think I'm blushing right now...I can feel the heat rising up my cheeks. Yup he'll notice it I just know it.
"OH NOOOOOOOO!"
I blinked out of my trance so did Kaiba..man thank you whoever did that. I'm not ready for this, well not yet. After that whole outburst a thud followed, ouch that's gotta hurt.
"Be right back pup,"I looked to see the brown haired love of my life well high school life walk out of the door. I sigh, this was going to be a long.....2 months. That was when the door opened and I saw the boy smirk. "Oh yeah and stay boy."He chuckled, jeez will he keep the dog jokes to himself.
I fumed, this just wasn't my day at all so far.
- - -
The door opened and I looked to the clock. Fifteen minutes have passed and there stood Kaiba and..Yuugi? What is he doing here? "Yuugi?"I questioned at the said person.
Yuugi smiled. "Konichiwa Jou-kun. Glad to see you're all right."
"What are you doing here?"I quickly ask, did he know I was at Kaiba's the whole time? Why did he come here, he never comes here except when it's urgent. Like the time when Yuugi's Grandpa almost died in a heart attack, Mokuba convinced Kaiba to provide the fee for the hospital room.
I was quickly interrupted from my thoughts when Kaiba spoke. "Yes Mutou, do tell us why you're here?"He crossed his arms signaling Yuugi to provide us with a simple explanation. You know he really looks cool when he's like that, wonder what would happen if we were a couple.
Yeah..Seto would be possessive and kick whoever tries to flirt with me that would be so cool. Great. I'm still acting like I'm a high school girl..that's what I get for hanging out with Anzu for one day.
"Well you see, I was coming from Honda's house and figured to come here again to look for Jou."I blink. He came here before? When? Where? Why didn't Kaiba tell him I was here and why didn't he throw me out like some ragged dog. I figured he would do that since he hates me and he insults me and shall I go on?
Something tells me right now that Yuugi is lying, and I know that something is right since I'm an expert in lying and truth telling. "Yuugi,"I say, uncertain of what to say. "Are you lying?"I looked into the other's eyes, it was glazed.
Great he's talking to Yami while I talk to him. I roll my eyes, Kaiba sees this and raises a brow. Yuugi quickly snapped out of his trance and smiled more. "Of course not Jou. Why would you think that?"
"Well because you never go to Honda's house and you don't even know where it is."Take that, you're stumped Yuugi admit it! Didn't think I'd go against Yuugi. I saw Kaiba smirk, I think he's amused by this situation, yup I know he is.
Yuugi opened his mouth and closed it again, I really stumped him I know I did! Go me! "Mutou aren't you going to answer that question?"Kaiba quickly asked, while I looked at Yuugi.
"Kaiba, may I speak with Yuugi alone please?"
Kaiba uncrossed his arms and I thought I saw a pout on his face. Nah. Just my imagination. "Sure pup and remember don't run away."He chuckled before leaving the room but something told me he was listening to the conversation.
"Jounouchi? What is this about?"
I looked to Yuugi. "What is the real reason you're here?"
The other chuckled. "What do you mean, I came to search for you again..and I meant Anzu instead of Honda. Guess I was just thinking about the old times."This seems too innocent even for him, something is up. I smell trouble.
"Come on we're friends, what is it?"
I need to just keep on pressuring him, it always works, even for me. Shit! That reminds me of homework. Oh well I'll do it later, I got Kaiba as an excuse this time. Yuugi's eyes glazed and I roll my eyes once again, can he ever not talk to Yami? "It's nothing..just a little wanting to see you once again, did Kaiba tell you that you've been unconscious for almost a month now?"
"Yes he did, but I still can tell you're lying..Yuugi,"I sigh. "We can do this all day or you can just tell me what's up. out here right now, I don't want some private conversation between you and Yuugi so get your ass in gear and appear."I chuckled mentally 'Hey that rhymed.'I thought after that statement.
Slowly after I had said that the spectral image of Yami appeared, crossing his arms and looking like a little kid.. pouting? Uh...that's new. "You called..Mr. Katsuya?"I blinked..now that was very new.
"Uh yeah I did, um why are you calling me Mr. Katsuya?"
Yami shrugged. "Cause I feel like it."Yuugi giggled and I still blinked. "So are you doubting my light's reasons?"I sigh, they're both lying..bunch of no-good liars.
"Yes and spit it out already, come on is it that hard, or is it about me and S-Kaiba."I quickly corrected myself before making that big mistake. 'Shit, I almost said, Seto.'
The two grinned, I didn't like the way they were looking at me. Oh shit. No they wouldn't. They're not playing matchmaker again, no way! Last time they matched someone well it came out being a threesome. I shuddered. I don't want that to happen to me.
"You almost said "Seto" didn't you?"The two asked in unison, man I hate that.
Great now they stumped me, damn them! "No I didn't.."They smirked, man Yuugi's smirk with Yami's smirk..god that combo is so...I don't know how to explain it. 'Help.'I thought to myself with little fright. I don't scare easily so that's how bad it was.
"Now who's the one lying!"The two chuckled, great now it's the other way around. I hate it when that happens especially if it's with them. "Would you like us to match make for you Jou-kun?"The puppy dog eyes attack combo, shit, must look away.
I closed my eyes and looked away. "I'm not falling for that one I will never when I have my eyes closed."The two chuckled even more, opening my eyes again hoping that I wasn't facing Yami and Yuugi..well it came out to be an ambush and they looked at me with those eyes.
"No!"I yelled and got out of bed not noticing at the moment the pain that rushed every body part. "Must get away from them."I silently say to myself while running to the door, which opened and something happened.
As I opened the door well rushed right out of the room, I fell upon Kaiba, that little eavesdropper! Why I outta..outta..oh whatever. I blushed since our bodies were touching and we looked into each other's eyes again. Man not again, not again.
The other two giggled as they saw the both of us like that. 'Oh great, what's next a flying Red Eyes Black Dragon that's real?'I thought to myself still on top of Kaiba. If Yuugi and Yami weren't here I would be enjoying this moment in peace but since they are...DAMN THEM TO HELL!
Kaiba looked at me, I think I saw a blush on him, but it was quickly hidden as he shoved me. "Didn't anyone tell you not to fall on your master?"He stood up and brushed some imaginary dust I think. "You're lucky you won't get a punishment for that, now go back and rest."
Sitting just at his feet, I looked up and blinked, as two annoying tri-colored haired teens giggled. I looked behind me and glared my best glare at them, which I was rewarded with a friendly giggle. Damn I wish I wasn't the only one besides Anzu and Yuugi to see Yami in his transparent form.
Just as I was about to swear well maybe not swear but say something in defense against Yuugi and Yami, I felt hands grip silk black pj's mainly the shirt part? I just noticed them, insert mental slap to forehead. I'm such a dummy to not notice that in the first place.
Anyway, I felt myself being dragged and I looked up to see Kaiba dragging me. If this were a moment where he wasn't grumbling, well I would have loved the moment plus if Yuugi and Yami weren't here that would be even better. "Kaiba..when you said, "I made a promise I need to keep.", what did you mean?"
Total silence engulfed the whole room after I asked that, even Yuugi and Yami were quiet, that's a first. Kaiba looked down at me and then at the two well I think for him one. "Mutou do you mind?"Is he going to say something important to me right now? No wait, he hates me he wouldn't say anything to me except insults.
Yuugi and Yami smiled, I looked away as they smiled, they will try to convince me to make them pair Kaiba and I up. Even though I like Kaiba, I wouldn't want him to suffer all the craziness Yuugi and Yami would put us up too. "Nope, I'll go, see you at school Jou, oh and,"I looked to see him wink at me. "Good luck."
"YUUGI! I am so going to kick your-."I was interrupted by a sudden tug which made Yuugi giggle as the door closed shut. Great. Maybe they're eavesdropping on us, little eavesdroppers! Hey wait I need to scold Kaiba about him eavesdropping on us. 'But how am I going to scold him.'
As I thought that I suddenly was flung on the bed face first, ok ouch. "Ow. You didn't have to throw me so hard."
Kaiba chuckled, wait he chuckled? The whole world has ended! Run! "You really want me to tell you why I said that? You wouldn't understand mutt."
"If you don't tell me how would I understand?"I blinked, at the moment I've forgotten about the whole eavesdropping scolding. "Does it have something to do with Gozaburo?"
He flinched at the mention of him, guess he's still aggravated about the other. "Don't you dare mention him mutt. You wouldn't understand because you don't know what happened to me."
'Dang, sounds like a Yuki from Gravitation problem. Hey wait..was he raped? Should I ask him that? Nah, maybe he'll go ballistic if I ask him.'I thought to myself taking a deep breath. "Did you want me to do something?"
Kaiba smirked, well that was a fast recovery. "First, since Mutou and I had a deal, you get to stay here at the mansion, second get some sleep, third no sneaking off or I'll find you, and fourth be a good boy and stay here."Wait rewind a sec, he and Yuugi had a deal? With me as the prize? What has the world come too.
"What deal?"I raised my brow slightly, I hope it wasn't an easy deal because if it was then I'm going to so kill Yuugi and Yami!
The other chuckled, again with the chuckling is the world going to end soon? "The deal was if I helped Mutou to find where you live then you'll get to stay here like a good dog."Oh great it was an easy deal, when I get my hands on those two I'm going to so ruin their lives, hm..maybe match make them too. Yami and Yuugi do make a good couple.
"Were you the one who saved me then?"I blinked to myself.
There was another moment of silence before he answered me, "Maybe, maybe not."What? That's all he has to answer me? Great what's next, he'll be saying, "To be or not to be that is the question."
"What is that supposed to mean? Huh?"
He looked at me and then answered, "It's supposed to mean maybe I did or maybe I didn't take your pick."I hear laughing, it must be Yami and Yuugi, damn it would they leave me in peace with Kaiba?
"Did you hear that?"I asked hearing more of the laughter coming from outside the room.
Kaiba listened for a minute, I think he heard it? "Hear what, all I hear is your constant barking."More puppy jokes that just great.
"Do you really have to call me a dog every single time you talk to me?"I sighed, maybe this will shut him up with the dog jokes. Take that!
Kaiba nodded, why that no good bishonen bastard! "Yes I do have too, since you have to know who your master is."God sometimes he really annoys me with those jokes and the other times I feel comfortable with it. 'I did not just think I'm comfortable with the dog jokes.'
"Don't you have anything better to do then just talk to me?"
Kaiba turned his back to me and started walking, I guess he does have something to do then talk to me. I sigh sadly, I hope he didn't hear that though. He turned to back to me and smiled, wait smiled? Must be my imagination, yup I know it's my imagination. "I'll be right back pup, Coke or Sprite?"
I smiled, he's getting a refreshment for me how cool! "Sprite please."
"Alright then."He opened the door and closed it. I sighed dreamily, he's getting a refreshment for me, but before I could go on any further..
A shout suddenly reached my ears. "MUTOU! WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?!"Aw man they really did eavesdrop on us, damn it!
- - -
Two months have past just like that. That was really fast. Wow didn't know I'd say this, but Kaiba really is a good host. The news is I can finally walk again but I still can't run, that sucks! "Aw man, I wanted to run the mile today for once."
"Well then you better think of something or else the gym teacher would force you into doing that."I didn't notice Kaiba stand behind me, but oh no! I forgot about that! Aw man! No!!!!!
My face drained of all color as I stood next to Kaiba's limo, I got a new uniform and some clothes thanks to him, but now what was I going to do about gym. "Aw man....I forgot about that."
Kaiba chuckled and poked me with something, I looked behind me and saw a piece of paper in his hand? Snatching the paper from his hand I read it and gasped at what it said.
The brown haired teen laughed at my shocked expression, come on who could blame me for gasping. It's the Seto Kaiba we're talking about, the one who's cold and not caring to anyone but his bro Mokuba. "Kaiba you wrote this? I can't believe it."
He scoffed, "Don't get used to it pup, this is the only time I'll write a note for you."The other walked passed me and I could have sworn I saw a smile on his face. 3.. 2 .. 1. COOL! I am so lucky to be with him. "Hey mutt are you going to get in here or are you just going to stand there looking like an idiot."Quickly snapping out of it I ran over to the limo, only tripping through the process with pain.
'Damn I forgot I can's run, itai.'I thought to myself lying on the sidewalk, which suddenly I felt two hands drag me into the limo. 'At least this is an advantage.'
Kaiba sighed. "You really are a dumb mutt aren't you?"
"Hey I'm no dog! I repeat for the hundredth millionth time!"I exclaimed with wild gesticulations. 'I wonder how our classmates will react to us getting out at the same time. It'll be breaking news for all I know.'
I sigh. Glad during those two months, with a little help from Kaiba, I got my book report finished. I just hope I'm not the only who gets to present them today. Well I'll find out what happens today, but I got a feeling something is going to happen, I just know it is. I hope nothing happens because if something does, I'm so screwed if it happens to me.

Flame Swordswoman
I already got the uncut DVD's, just got them when they first came out last month, lucky me! Jounouchi only curses "Damn it!" when he duels with Mai, mostly it's "Hell" right now in the uncut series. Jou also has a habit of saying "Darn it" or "Darn"it was veryfunny when I first heard it. Well surprise, surprise, I'm an 8th grader who's going to be a Freshman next year. gives Jou pushies
Hazel-Beka
That's how bad Jou's dad hurt him, poor Jou-Jou-kun. Kaiba lied to Yuugi because what if Yuugi told Anzu and Honda and what if Honda and Anzu told everyone. That would be breaking news to everyone at Domino High. gives Pharaoh Atem pushies
