A/N: Hello again my lovelies! Wow, I'm updating this really fast! All for you guys! Aw, don't you feel privileged? Here I go! I'm listening to Muse as I do this, and wearing a stripy glove! Just a little pointless trivia for you! Man, I am such a fast updater! A little prejudice in this chapter, but those are NOT my opinions on homosexuality. Also, this chapter is NOT fluffly. (My new word, if anyone read the author's notes at the end of the last chapter. I haven't just made a horrible spelling mistake.) It is mean, and angsty! Mwa ha ha! Enjoy, my darlings!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything! WHY! In my opinion, it would be BETTER with yaoi thrown in! I'm sure everyone agrees!

Chapter 2.

The ride to school was a long, silent one. Both Seto and Jou were worried about what the day would bring. Everyone was sure to have found out by now; heck, the press had a field day with the news that the C.E.O of Kaiba Corp was gay, and had a boyfriend.

Seto looked over at his lover, noticing the blonde boy trembling slightly. He reached out and drew Jou into a comforting hug. Jounouchi snuggled into his boyfriend's chest, grateful for the small gesture.

"Thanks, Set'."

Seto smiled, and turned his head to look out of the car's window. To be honest, he supposed that it was his classmate's reactions that worried him. Sure, Jou's close friends knew, and were supportive, but some people in the school were openly homophobic. Yami and Yugi, and indeed Ryou and Bakura, hadn't had trouble, as only their close friends and family knew about the spirits.

For Seto and Jou, it wouldn't be that easy……

He heard a voice from the front of the car speaking to him. "Mr. Kaiba, sir, we have arrived at Domino High."

Seto fought against an icy curl of fear in his stomach. This was it. It was time to face everyone…

He opened the limo door, and stepped out, gripping Jounouchi's hand tightly. Together, they surveyed the scene in front of them. Hundreds of teenagers…taking absolutely no notice of the two nervous people in front of the limo.

Seto breathed a sigh of relief. He squeezed Jou's hand, and they began to walk towards the school entrance. They were home-free!

"JOU! SETO! OVER HERE!"

Maybe not.

The shrill yell was ear-piercing enough to make every person assembled in front of Domino High stop what they were doing, and turn towards the two stricken teenagers. Everything went silent, and Jou's face began to burn.

Then, the whispering started. It was quiet at first, but then grew so loud that they could actually pick out sentences.

"Who do they think they are, walking in here like they own they place?"

"Fags."

"Fucking fags."

"They'd better watch out."

Jou's heart skipped a beat. Watch out? Why? What was going to happen?

The bottle flying at his head certainly settled that question.

Yugi heard Anzu yelling at Jou and Seto, and winced as everyone in the area started whispering. However, he had almost expected this. There was bound to be some sort of negative reaction to the two boys. What he had not expected was for someone in the crowd to throw a glass bottle at Jou's head, striking him and making him fall. His impossibly large amethyst eyes widened, and he pushed his way through the jeering crowd, his friends right behind him. As he was running, he felt Yami take over, and felt sure that Bakura had done the same with Ryou.

Sure enough, the white-haired spirit pushed past his Pharaoh, not caring who he knocked over in the process. His dark eyes flashed in rage, and he rounded on the crowd, the look on his face so alarming that many people stepped back a little. He turned back to see Yami, Honda, and Anzu all kneeling on the ground, crowding around Jou, who was clutching his head. Seto, meanwhile, was standing, his fists clenched, literally trembling with fury. When he spoke, however, his voice was tight, and calm.

"You…will not come near me or Jou again. You will leave us alone, or, so help me, God have mercy on your souls."

Bakura noticed with satisfaction that people looked worried, and guilty at these words. With a final trademark glare, Seto turned his back on the crowd, and knelt down by Jounouchi.

"Jou, let me see." He said to his shivering boyfriend. Jou nodded shakily and took his hand away. His friends hissed in sympathy as they saw multiple tiny cuts beside Jounouchi's eye.

Seto's heart missed a beat. A couple of centimetres to the right and he would have lost one of his puppy's beautiful, honey-coloured eyes. He stood again, and whipped around, but the crowd had left. Obviously the bell had sounded, indicating the start of the day. He went to his boyfriend, and hauled him upright.

"We're going home," he growled. "You aren't ready yet."

Jou struggled out of the hold, outraged. "Come off it, Seto! It's nothing! It's just a couple of scratches!"

"You might have lost an eye! Is that what you call nothing? Because I sure as hell don't!"

"But I didn't! You can't protect me from everything, ya know!"

"I can try! And I say you're not ready for this!"

They seemed to be oblivious to their friends open-mouthed stares. Yami and Bakura, uncomfortable with this display, fled to their soul rooms, leaving Yugi and Ryou in their place.

Jou, upset by his lover's misplaced anger, spat, "You aren't always right, you know! Geez, lay off, will ya!"

Seto's eyes became cold, and distant. "Oh, I'm sorry, mutt. Please forgive me for caring." He snapped sarcastically And with those parting words, he stormed off in the direction of the school.

Jou, confused, upset, and ashamed, trailed after him, unable to meet his friend's questioning looks.

There we go!
