Chapter 9

Testing, Testing...

Artemis stared at him in shock.

"Wait a minute… You know Jou?"

"You know him?"

"We met at a nightclub in Tokyo. I think it was called the Blu'Moon, or something like that. We hit it off fairly quickly, and we developed a sort of casual friendship. There was nothing sexual going on between us, I swear…" Kaiba looked at him, then at Jounouchi, then back at Artemis.

"Then how come he didn't recognize you when he saw your name on the list?"

"When we first met, I introduced myself as Jonathan. Jou never knew my last name. Also, my hair was quite a bit shorter then."

"I see…"

"Well, if you're ready Artemis- sexy name by the way- lets go. You'll be in exam room sixy-nine." Jounouchi grinned seductively at both of them, then walked away, hips swaying slightly.

"Alright, now I'm scared," Artemis said dryly. He leaned forward in his chair slightly to watch Jounouchi leave the room, "Although I have to say, you have excellent taste, Seto…"

"Thank… you?" He asked, somewhat confused.

"That was a compliment. Also, if you're still interested in Jou…" Artemis trailed off seductively. Kaiba stared at him, then smacked him in the side of the head lightly.

"Hentai…" Artemis stood up.

"I'd better go in. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be…"

"You want me to go in with you?" Artemis smiled sheepishly.

"Yes, please…" Kaiba stood up and followed Artemis into the exam room, which took them several minutes to find.

Time Lapse: Twenty Minutes

"Alright, Fowl-san. You're done," Kaiba's doctor said, carefully labeling the last vial of blood and placing it next to the others. All in all, there were five.

"Did you really need to take that many?" Artemis asked, looking relieved that it was over. Not many people knew it, but he had a slight fear of needles. Kaiba stood up.

"Alright. Let's get this over with." He rolled up his sleeve for the doctor, who took quite a bit less time with him, in Artemis' opinion.

"Okay, you're both finished. I'll have the results of your tests in a few hours. I'll phone you when they come in. Have a nice day!" the doctor said, motioning them out the door.

"Well, now what?" Kaiba asked.

"I don't know about you, but I would love to make use of your shower. May I do that?" Artemis asked.

"Only if I can come…"

"Yes, you can, if I have anything to say about it…"
