Chapter 10: Competition

Higurashi stepped outside and his eyebrow twitched. Last night he had announced that he wanted everyone to be up and ready for breakfast at 6:00 A.M. that morning. Everyone had agreed that they would be ready to eat and start their training. So where the hell was everyone? He walked over to the little community of huts he had reserved for them to sleep in. He walked in one by one and woke everyone up telling them to hurry up because they were already behind. Most of them weren't very happy with waking up so early but got up none the less. Seto smoothed his hair back and yawned as Higurashi left his and Joey's hut telling him to wake up the puppy. He looked down and couldn't help but smile a little at the innocent looking blond who was still asleep. He kissed Joey on the lips and started a trail of kisses on his forehead and cheeks until Joey started to fidget and tried not to laugh. "Time to wake up puppy, we have to eat before we start training." Joey groaned as he sat up, yawned and stretched; his bones popping. "It's too early to be doing anything… wait did you say breakfast?" Kaiba chuckled. "Yes puppy, we are going to eat before we train." Joey jumped up. "Come on lets go already, we can't have them eating all the food now can we?" Seto got up and put his arms around Joey when he wasn't looking because he was trying to find his shoes. Joey eep'd at the sudden closeness. Seto chuckled seductively. "Don't I get a good morning kiss?" Joey blushed as he turned around to face the blue eyed male. "Ummm..." Was all he could manage to get out. Seto put on his charming act as he spoke again.

"Well, than… I change my mind from yesterday, I want a thank you for that prosthetic leg… a kiss would be nice…" he said slyly. Joey shook his head in amusement. "Well, I guess you do deserve it." He said as he leaned up and kissed Kaiba on the cheek. Kaiba was not pleased. "Wait! That's all I get?" Joey laughed and nodded. " You'll get more later now lets go." He said as he turned around and paled. There stood all of his friends staring at him in shock. Joey blushed crimson and Kaiba only rolled his eyes. "Geez, a person would only think they could have some privacy but no…" he said in annoyance as Higurashi walks in. Everyone was dead quiet as they had breakfast. The tension was so thick you could have cut it with a knife.

"Tristan would you please pass me some more rice please?" Tristan's eye twitch was the only indication that something was wrong. "Why don't you get it yourself? You're good at getting what you want right Kaiba?" Everyone looked up at Tristan in shock. "Hmm… you know it Tristan. What? Are you scared of competition? You seem so uptight." Seto said smugly as he locked eyes with the other boy. Tristan growled. "You manipulative bastard, everyone knows how you're using Joey. We HEARD you telling him he owed you a kiss."

Seto smirked. "How do you know I really meant that anyway? Besides, I don't need to trick him to get one over on you Taylor." Tristan shot up; about to hit the other male and chaos ensued. Joey's face was slowly turning a dark shade of crimson until he eventually lost all patience. "SHUT UP, EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!" He yelled at a extremely high volume. Everyone stopped what they were doing and started at Joey, who was red in the face, his eyebrow twitching and he was breathing hard. "Now I want you all to sit down so that I can clear up this misunderstanding." He said in a deathly quiet voice. Everyone obeyed except for Tristan, who was foolish enough to cross Joey when he was this angry. " But Joey…."

"TRISTAN I DIDN'T FUCKING ASK YOU ANYTHING BUT TO SIT THE FUCK DOWN, NOW DO IT OR ELSE." He yelled cutting Tristan off. Tristan quickly sat down not wanting to make him angrier. Joey took a couple of seconds to try and calm himself down before speaking.

"Now listen. I will only say this once, not that I should have to explain myself but whatever. What you guys heard Seto say this morning and what you thought it meant are two different things. He and I were just fooling around. He was NOT using me or being manipulative at all. Now can we please finish breakfast cause' I swear to God if I hear anymore about this from anyone, I'll lose it… It only takes one time and I swear I'll go crazy…" he trailed off as he continued to eat and it was silent until Duke started to laugh and Joey pounced on him. 20 minutes later Duke was busy being bandaged up. He had various bruises on his body and a black eye. He was also sporting a broken wrist. He pouted in annoyance as the others tried not to laugh at his problem, in fear that they might be next. Bakura patted Joey on the back and told him a job well done.

While Yugi said he's never seen Joey go off like THAT before and decided to never make Joey mad. Higurashi finished bandaging up duke before speaking. "Now that we're done fighting let's go and train and I'll show you how to use your weapons." He said as he walked outside with everyone following. Tristan gave Kaiba a look that said 'You're going down.' To which Seto's look replied, 'Bring it on'. And Joey just sighed. It was going to be a long day.
