Chapter the fourth
These things I'll never say
Jonouchi had plans. Big plans. He had his hands folded under his chin and he sat on his bed thinking deeply of and about Amane. He wished he would've stayed longer. Kissed her more, taken her into hit arms and held her but he didn't. He hadn't.
Joey threw a book at the wall and cursed. He longed to hold Amane, to kiss her, to taste her...Jou set his alarm in time to catch Amane when she went in to the shop and lie down. He felt some what annoyed at him himself, yet he calmed down and fell asleep.
Rain was pouring outside when Amane awoke the next morning. When she went downstairs there was a note that spoke the words of Ryou, and the Ishtars, who were all at work. Being Malik and Isis to the exhibit to work on some new artifacts brought back from Egypt.
She shook her head no and sighed. Ryou also wrote that Bakura Akiffa ((Bakura Dark, Dark Bakura, Bakura)) wouldn't be there 'til later. She looked thoughtful and pretty much knew that he wouldn't want to be around the girl he tried to rape.
Amane was shocked to hear the phone ring. She quickly grabbed it. "Ishtar residents. This is Amane Bakura speaking." "Hey, Babe." Amane giggled. "Jonouchi!" she shrieked. Jou chuckled. "Damn woman. Calm down. Yeah it's me..." Amane giggled. "Sorry Jono! I get excited when I know your doing okay..." he chuckled. "Well, if you get excited, how about a date tonight after work?"
By the time she got to work the next day, Otogi had left early and Amane was left in the shop alone, holding a strong trust with Otogi, because he had given the speak yesterday that he trusted her and hoped, and knew, she would not steal anything from him.
Jou came into the shop about an hour before closing. "Holy..." it seemed both made a comment at the same time staring up and down at each others choice of clothes. Amane was wearing a slightly low cut dark, almost blood red silky shirt and black pants. Her black bracelet to top it of.
Jou chuckled. He was wearing blue jeans and a button up white shift that was slightly wrinkled and clean which surprised Amane because she thought it might have stains on it. "Uh, Hi." Amane laughed and jumped over the counter. "Yo!" she said simply.
By the time Jou realized she was calmer he himself was. "Amane! Not in public! People can see in here!" Amane looked down. She looked upset but Jou was out
prevent that. "So, ready to go?" the tension took over Amane and she froze. "But were early...Otogi will be angered if I leave this early..." Jou looked thoughtful. Something new to Amane. "Otogi doesn't have to know."
If Amane didn't love Jonouchi so much, she might've been angered. "But I might get in trouble..." Jou smiled and hugged her. "No one else has to know. You won't get in trouble." Amane sighed. "Promise?" Jou looked down. "Promise." Amane smiled. "Okay Jou."
Amane was still unsure but she locked the shop door and closed up. Jou was waiting outside. Amane smiled. Jou chuckled when she realized she was looking at his truck. ((rustbucket)) Amane shook her head no and smiled again. "Let's take your car, Amane..."
