FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAALLYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
My stupid document manager wouldn't upload anything for the last week! I wrote this chapter on Wednesday and today was the first day it actually worked. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY. Thankyou for waiting and I Love you people (but you already knew that didn't you?) On with another chapter.
Chapter four
When Jou showed up for school on Monday he braced himself for the worst. Just as he was entering the classroom, Jou realised he needed a story for his absentee on Friday. Not for his teacher, cause she already knew, but for Yugi and the others. Jou smirked at the first thought that came to mind. (Jou's mental ideas)
"Uh, yeah. You see, I kinda have this AH HEM! Bladder problem and I went to see the docter and all."
'Or not' Jou thought. Can't say dentist. Can't say sick. Stomach Ulcer? Do people get bruises from stomach ulcers? Ah screw it. I'll tell the sensei loudly that I went to the doctor and I'll tell my friends I skipped.
Walking in, fashionably late as usual, the first thing Joey heard was Kaiba's voice over the silence of the room. "Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up. Sensei? Why don't you ask Jounichi where he was on Friday?"
The sensei looked apologetically to Joey, as if to say "I know," and asked, "Mr. Jounichi." The class snickered at the formal title. Sensei only addressed student personally that way when she knew you were lying. And everyone knew Jou would be lying. "Could you be so kind as to grace my ears with the explanation of your absentee on Friday?"
Jou took it all in stride and played along with the sensei's game. "Of course oh miss sensei."Jou said with mock courtesy. Then waving his arm dramatically he began. "You see, I was walking to school on Friday and I started to run, for I would never want to be late to your exceptionally exciting and moving class, and I," Jou paused searching his brain for some stupid scenario. "and I saw a little pupy stuck in a tree. Never one to disappoint I climbed the tree and save the puppy." Then dropping his corny chivalrous manor Jou finished. "Unfortunately I fell to my near demise and decided I'd done my good deed for the day and didn't need to show up for class." Winking at the sensei he went and took his seat carfully avoiding Seto's eyes as he could feel them burning a hole into him.
"Thank you, Jounichi, for that supreme performance of stupidity. You can stay after class." Addressing the rest of the class she informed them that today they would be getting a lot of their old assignments back and cleaning out their lockers. Tomorrow they would be watching a movie.
It took most of the morning to clean out the lockers but when the lunch bell rang everyone except for Jounichi was finished. When the rest of the class had gone to buy or eat their lunches Sensei Kimura closed the door and approached Jou and his abominably messy locker. "A moment, Jou?"
Jounichi turned around. 'This can't be good' Jou thought. "ahhhhh sure. What's on your mind?"
The sensei gave Joey a look that said she was not to be avoided. Jou sighed audibly and turned his back on the teacher.
"How long, Jounichi?" Jou said nothing and tried to look really busy trying to decide whether or not to throw out a piece of paper that was blank.
"Who knows?" she asked.
Turning to face her. "No one until you called." He accused.
Now it was her turn for silence. While the conversation made perfect sense to Jou and the sensei, to an eavesdropping ear the conversation meant nothing. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Seto went to Jounichi's usual hangout.
Back in the class room a battle of wills was ensuing. Jounichi wanted the sensei to butt out, but the sensei wanted in. The sensei was just about to demand Jou talk to her when she was paged over the PA system. Locking eyes with Jou she said, "Listen, if you won't talk to me at least tell another adult okay? And I want to know who that adult is because I'm going to check. If you don't I am forced, as you teacher, to take immediate action and the result will probably end up with you in temporary foster care until your eighteen. Make up your mind soon Jounichi. I'll talk to you tomorrow and it will not be necessary for you to stay after class. If anyone asks you did your detention at lunch." And with that she left.
When Jou got to his usual meeting place with Yugi and the others he was mildly distressed to see Kaiba there. Turning to leave, Jou was stopped by Kaiba's restraining hand on his shoulder. "Going somewhere, Pup?" Jou said nothing, which he seemed to be doing a lot of today. "So, Mutt, what did the sensei want with you?"
"None of your bees wax, Kaiba. And it's Jounichi, not mutt or pup or any other name that refers to my being canine. You got that?"
"Whatever. Here's a list of what to bring when you come on Wednesday, and remember, be there by 5:00 pm.
Jou nodded his head and took the list Seto had written out for him.
-A six days worth of clothing, laundry will be done on the Monday.
-A bathing suit or two
-your own toiletries
-paper and pen to take notes and write your essay
-your deck (Mokuba might feel like a game or two)
-a formal suit
-business casual
-Perhaps you might like to bring your brain, but that of course is completely optional. I for one know how hard it would be for you to find a decent one.
-Spending money
Jou scowled at the list. That Kaiba had some nerve. Jou frowned at the "business casual" and "formal suit" All Jou owned wear his jeans and his uniform. This was most definitely going to be a very long ten days. Jou hoped Kaiba had work for at least half the days. And for the other half, well, Jou could always go for really long walks.

Well. That's chapter four for you. Sorry that not much happens. After all, not all the chapters can be as exciting as the second right? Whatever though. Please R&R your opinions do matter. And sorry about the grammatical errors in chapter three. I missed those when I was editing. Feel free to tell me cause I'll change them eventually (if any one really cares)
