Breaking the ice

Jou's POV

Finally after what seemed like forever the plane came to a halt. Looking out the window it seemed to be around 2 o clock in the after noon. I sat up n yelped in pain rubbing the back of neck. I must have slept on my headphones. We boarded off the plane as Yugi led us to another limo. This limo wasn't as big as Kaiba's but it was big enough.

"So what should we do when we get to New York?" asked Tristan who was crunching on a cereal bar. Man I should have brought something to eat. The plane food tasted like crap. "Well I thought we should get settled in our hotel rooms. 2 in each room. I thought about this. If Yugi, Ryou and Malik teaming with their hikari's and Duke and Tristan always being partners that leaves me with… "NO! I am not staying with moneybags!" I yelled out. Everyone stared at me except Kaiba who was typing away on his laptop. "I'm sorry Joey but you know the deal with the partners, you have no choice except to be with Kaiba" responded Yugi. I sighed and slunk back in the chair. This just wasn't fair. As many enemies I have in the world I'm stuck with….him.

"Yay we're here" Ryou glancing out the window. Everyone piled out and stood in front of what the map said. "New Rochelle". "Yugi, where exactly are we?" asked Duke in awe of what ever he was staring at. "Um, well the map says we're in New Roc" he answered confused of why it was named such that. (A/N: ok if you've never been to New Rochelle or New Roc city, it's just kind of a hang out place where everyone goes, n it has a hotel, bowling, movies, arcade, models, restaurants, ice skating. Basically everything. Anyway on with the story!) "Ok, well we should settle in our hotel rooms" said Yugi as we all grabbed our bags and went into the Ramada inn (hotel). "Hi, welcome to the Ramada inn, how I may help you?" said this rather tall lady. No older than 25. She had long red hair that bounced every time she moved her head. She had a very cute beauty mark on the right of her nose. She was very pretty. "Yeah, can we have keys for about 5 hotel rooms?" I asked. Her eyes widened and looked at the bunch that stood before her. She blinked a few times and got up. "Yeah, follow me" she said as she walked off. After walking for what seemed to be forever we came to the end of the hallway. There was a door at the last wall and 2 doors on each side. She gave me the set of keys. "Enjoy your stay at the Ramada inn" she said with a smile and walked off. Man if she wasn't so pretty I would have mistaken her for someone I hated. I handed every there keys and opened up the door to hell.

"Wow this is pretty big" I said dropping my bag. Kaiba just huffed. "Compared to my house this place is nothing". He was really starting to bug me. "Kaiba no one wants to here about your big ol' mansion" I snapped back. He simply sat on the bed close to the window and took out his laptop for the millionth time today. "Don't you ever have a day without your laptop?" I asked. "Yes, but it didn't go very well" he answered. I quirked an eyebrow. This man works way too hard, and I, Joey Wheeler will show him the world! Wow I must be going crazy.

Seto's POV

"hey so what should we all do next?" asked Duke looking around to see what place he could trash first. I looked around."to the arcade!" said joey as he and the rest rand off I wasn't about to run after those idiots so I took my time. As we stepped in I already noticed how huge the place was. "Dance Dance Revolution!" someone had squealed. As soon as I heard him say that I jerked my head to where the voice was. It is. It's dance dance revolution. The one thing that I can beat anyone at besides, ya know bein rich and successful. But anyway. "who wants to compete with me even though they know they're going to lose". Damn mutt. Everyone shook their heads. But I turned my head to look at something else hoping that he though wasn't listening.

"How about you moneybags" said Joey as I jerked my head. Is he kidding me? Does he really think he can beat me? I smirked looked at him. "I don't have time to play your stupid little games dog" I replied. I really did hate calling him that but the look on his face every time I said it was beyond priceless. "What are you chicken or something?" he asked. I glared and walked over to him. "You're on". We both put the money in the slots simultaneously. "We'll put it on light so start off easy" he said smirking. Before he could push the light I pushed his hand out of the way making his hand push the heavy button. He simply smirked, that damn smirk. "Oh so we have a champion on our hands eh? Well you may be good at everything else, but this is something that I can beat you at" he said. I only chuckled. "We'll see about that mutt". The game began. It was a fast song but the arrows started out slow

Right…left…right…back….back…up

This was way too easy. Spoke way too soon.

Right, left, right, right, back, front, front….back, back, left, right

Then there was a pause. I glanced at the mutt next to me. Not a sweat drop. Only a light pant. I stared back at the screen as the arrows started up again.

Right. Left, left, back up…right…right…left-right

Then it was over. We waited for the scores came up. This couldn't happen…we both for the same score! We both got 1,843,498,370. "What! Are you kidding me! We can't have the same score!" roared the mutt as he banged against the screen. I saw that everyone was staring at us. In awe I guess considering that they started applauding. I stepped down from the platform and joined the rest of the group as Joey enjoyed the attention. "Wow you guys are great! You both are like evenly matched" said Yugi. Joey wasn't happy at all. He growled. "I almost had him" was all he said. We walked out of the arcade considering that one round took us like forever to finish. "Where to next you guys?" asked Yugi. I stood in the distance hoping they'd say something civilized like eating or something. "Karaoke!" Oh god, this can't be good.

"Come on you have to come with us" whined Joey. "Dammit mutt I am not coming with you to some stupid place where over aged men tries to find the youth in them. Not that they every find it" Kaiba replied. "I don't care you're coming, and that's final" said Joey brushing his hair. Kaiba glared. "Why do you want me to come so bad anyway?" he asked smirking. "To prove myself that I'm better at something than you" he answered simply. Kaiba only chuckled. "Oh please dog, you will never be anything but a mutt to me. You can't prove yourself because it's obvious that I'm bigger and better than you. In everything" kaiba answered now realizing what he had just said. Joey glared at Kaiba. Such hatred in his eyes, and…hurt. He snatched his bag and left the hotel room. Kaiba sighed. "Guess that's his button" he muttered to himself.

That's chapter 3! As you can see Joey's mad at Kaiba feels bad now. But why should Kaiba feel bad?
