Chapter 9
Seto quickly walked to his bedroom to get on his swimming trunks. When he opened his drawer to discover his clothes not in the usual pristine neatness he expected a look of annoyance crossed his face. "Damn the little brat." Seto thought. "I have got to figure out how he gets in here." Then an amused smile crossed his face. However Mokuba managed to be getting in it was his kid brothers best and only kept secret as far as Seto knew. But still. One of these days.
He grabbed shuffled through the clothes that were there and his mild amusement left him. His new swimming shorts weren't there. Seto grabbed an old pair and quickly changed. He went to the bathroom to grab his beach towel and was peeved but not surprised in the least to discover it missing. Seto had the feeling he was going to find his belongings in the arms of Jounichi Katsuya. Oh was the boy going to hurt for this one.
Seto grabbed an ordinary bath towel and hurried out to the pool. He didn't want them to be finished their fun before he even got in.
When Seto got to the pool Jou had Mokuba on his shoulders and they were shooting baskets. Seto felt a brief pang of jealousy. Mokuba never sat on his shoulders. The feeling passed though as his plan of revenge was re- kindled. Taking a smooth dive into the pool Seto swam over to where the boys were playing completely un aware of his presence. Swimming so that he was a mere foot from the two Seto said, "Nice swim trunks, Jounichi."
Jou started and dropped Mokuba, which wasn't a problem because Mokuba swam over to his brother and said, "Seto! Your home!"
"So it would seem." Seto said in a monotone voice.
Mokuba's cheer faltered a bit. "Your not mad that Mokuba has you trunks on are you?" he asked. "Or has your beach towel?" Then an evil grin crossed his face. "Don't worry, Seto. He tried to open your underwear drawer but I stopped him."
"WHAT!!!!!" Jou said with an indignant squawk. "Oh ho! You are so going to die little man!" and Mokuba quickly swam past Seto to get away from Jou. Jou followed in close pursuit and stopped briefly beside Seto. "I didn't touch no under wear or under wear drawer. I don't got no interest in that stuff. I swear!"
Seto nodded understandingly. Jou made to swim after the offending youth when Seto stopped him. He brought his mouth close to Jou's ear and said. "You and I owe the little runt a little lesson on who rules this house. Agreed?" Jou nodded a wicked grin crossing his face. "Tonight, after ten meet me in my room and we'll set up a little trap for the snoopster and will kill two birds with one stone."
"Two birds?" Jou asked.
Seto nodded. "He's been sneaking in my room and I'm going to figure out how." "Right." Jou said nodding. "It's a date." A moment passed. "I mean I'll see you there."
"Riiiiggghhhtttt." Seto said. "Now let's teach him to keep his mouth shut, eh?" And they swam after the black haired kid.
The three boys swam until dinner time when Cecelia came outside and insisted they come in for dinner. There was a brief staring/glaring contest when both Jou and Seto reached for the coveted beach towel but Seto won hands down and Jou found himself being thrown a bath towel instead. "What ever" Jou thought. It was still bigger than any towel he owned.
Dinner that night was a bit classier than the night before. Cecelia insisted on Jounichi and Mokuba eating extra helpings as they had missed lunch while they were playing in the pool. The dinner was steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots and a glass of milk. Jou mentally shuddered. This meal was practically a "Food guide one oh one. With all the food groups accounted for."
When dinner was over Mokuba invited Jou to join him in the games room. Jou was expecting a nice simple Nintendo or sega system. On second thought a game cube or X-Box. What he wasn't expecting was about ten different game systems with book shelves of games and a television that took up half the wall. Hell the room even had leather bean bag chairs to sit on. It was sadly insane. Jou watched as Mokuba plopped himself comfortably on a been bag chair much in the same manner Jou might have sat on his own couch. Jou walked into the room like he was walking on ice; afraid to touch anything cause he couldn't even afford the oldest game system in the room.
Seto watched all of this and took note from the comfort of his office. Seto thought back to The sorry excuse of a place Jou lived in and could mildly fathom the thoughts going through the blonde boys head. Seto watched as Jou picked a racing game from the game shelf and get royally creamed by his little brother who was no stranger to winning these games. Seto was admittedly surprised that Mokuba wasn't tired of these games yet, but he wasn't.
When nine thirty came around Cecelia came into the room and told Mokuba to turn it off that he need a bath before bed he whined until Cecelia was forced to shut the system off by pulling the plug. Mokuba had a minor temper tantrum but Seto fully agreed with Cecelia's methods and his hand was in fact mere centimetres away from the power controls. He really need to wean Mokuba of the games and maybe sooner was better than later.
After Mokuba was dragged off Seto watched as Jounichi sat in silence in the games room. Jou appeared to be deep in thought but frankly Seto didn't want to watch Jou thinking and pondered several plans to make Jounichi move. Fortunately he was spared the trouble when Jou stood of his own accord and left the room. Seto leaned back into his office chair and followed Jou on his monitor. Occasionally typing in commands as Jou passed from one camera area to the next.
Seto laughed softly when he realized that once again the blond puppy was lost. "Maybe I should put arrows up around the house while he's here saying 'this way to the kitchen' and this way to you bedroom.'" Seto laughed again as another idea popped into his head. He'd seen such a method employed by McDonald's Restaurants in the western world where they placed permanent Ronald foot prints to follow to the restaurant entrance. "Perfect." Seto thought. That will work nicely and he logged onto the internet to find a good picture of dog prints. As an after thought he turned on his intercom and asked one of the maids to show Jounichi to his room that he was lost again.
When Jou got to his room after being directed by yet another maid in the Kaiba house hold he decided he better start writing notes on his experience. After all the stupid school assignment was why he was here. Jou sat on his bed with his school bag next to him and pulled out a pen and some paper. He started writing in note form what had crossed his mind since he got here and two of the many things he wrote was big and expensive. He figured this about summed up all Sensei Kimura needed to know but she did say she wanted to know feelings so Jou continued to write.
It wasn't till five after ten that Jou remembered he had a 'date' with Kaiba and quickly shoved his paper into his bag and rushed out of the room. He lightly tapped on Seto's door and was let in by quickly. Jou was still dressed in his jeans and jacket but Seto who obviously had had a shower had on only a towel. Jou blushed to a lovely shade of crimson and turned away. "Is that all you're planning on wearing?" he asked. "Cause I feel slightly over dressed." Seto shot him a look that was wasted on the back of Jou's head as he picked up the clothes he had laid out on his bed before his shower and went into the bathroom to dress.
When he came back out Jou was looking out of Seto's large bedroom window at the view that was before him. Seto watched him for a while and wondered what Jou was thinking for the second time that night, but Seto was hardly the warm and fuzzy type so he didn't bother asking.
"So." Jou said letting the unspoken question hang. When Seto said nothing he elaborated. "So what exactly did you have in mind?" Jou asked.
Seto shrugged his shoulders. "I figured you'd be better at the more practical of jokes." He said.
"What?" Jou said feigning disbelief. "You mean the brilliant Mr. Kaiba admits he has no sense of humor?"
Seto glared at Jou a glare so fierce that Jou took a step back. Jou unwillingly admitted to himself that for a second he was a little afraid of what exactly Seto could do. Jou decided not to goad Seto anymore tonight. "So, what kind of results do you want anyways?" he asked at length.
"I want to catch him sneaking into my room and embarrass him if possible."
Jou nodded. He would have to be careful for Mokuba's sake because he'd promised earlier that day not to reveal the secret hide-a-way under the bed.
Both boys stood in silence for a moment. Then as one both made to sit on Seto's bed. Jou got another famous Kaiba glare and decided that the floor suddenly looked very comfortable and sat there instead. He made a mental not to himself to write in his essay about the Kaiba glares he was receiving.
The silence stretched when a humorous but dirty thought crossed Jou's mind. He softly laughed but not softly enough. "What's so funny?" He asked. Jou squirmed uncomfortably at what he'd been thinking. "Well spit it out." Seto said impatiently.
Jou sighed. "I just thought it'd be funny if your brother thought we were having an affair and the look on his face would be priceless when he came in the room and saw us doing something perfectly normal like playing a board game."
Seto laughed. "The look would be priceless. And there are no servants in the house." A wicked grin crossed his face. "Let's do it!"
Jou gave Seto an incredulous look. So that Seto hissed "Not let's have sex, the prank!" both boys turned away and took a moment to get over their blushing streaks. Yes, even Seto was blushing. He is not so in humane that he's lost his imagination and can't picture Jou naked and blonde on his bed – Whoa! Stop those thoughts now!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seto shuddered at how far that little day dream went and immediately pictured Cecelia naked to stop any further thoughts along those lines and shuddered again. This time in fear.
Amusingly enough, Jou was also trying to focus on anything other than the permanent mental picture of Seto clad only in a towel.
"Right," said Seto who composed himself first. "We need to start wit some, errrrrr noises. Yes. That's what we need noise."
"Noise, right" Jou said nodding his head dumbly. "Naughty noise." And a thought hit him. "Do you have a television in here?" he asked. Seto nodded and pointed to a cupboard in the wall. "And satellite TV?" Jou asked hopefully.
"Naturally." Seto said catching on to the plan. He himself had come across a couple television stations that needed to be restricted. Those would make the perfect background noise.
Seto turned on the television and flipped channels till he came to a woman pole dancing. He glanced at Jou who shook his head. "Not enough noise. Need something more, well, more what ever. You know what I mean." Seto nodded and flipped the channel till he came to the playboy station. Both boys were nearly drop jawed at what was playing on that station. "I think," said Jou. "Those if Mokuba came in hear right now he'd be scarred for life. I know I am." They continued to stare anyways.
"Ow." Seto said at a loss for words. Jou nodded dumbly. "That can't be natural." Jou shook his head; his mouth still open in shock and eyes watering from lack of blinking. "This is wrong." Seto said with a similar blank expression on his face. Jou nodded vigorously; eyes never leaving the screen. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT??!!??!!"
"I don't want to know" Jou nearly whimpered in fear. "Change the channel CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!!!!!"
"I CAN'T!!!!!!! THE BUTTON'S STUCK!!!!!"
"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!!!!!!"
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Seto? What are you guys watching?" Mokuba asked through the door. Jou saw the knob turning and dived for the power button on the TV.
"We aren't watching anything, Mokuba." Seto said with a face that showed that he was obviously lying.
"What is Jou trying to hide?"
All of a sudden the moans on the TV that wasn't on very loud before suddenly got much louder.
"What are they doing?"
"NOTHING!!!!! THEY ARE DOING NOTHING!!!!!!!" Then dashing to the TV, Seto closed the cupboard doors. While that effectively covered the screen from Mokuba's inquisitive eyes it did nothing to dampen the sound of Seto's surround sound speakers. "Idiot." Seto muttered to Jou. "Couldn't you tell the channel changer was the one on the left?"
Jou shook his head. "It's not my fault."He protested. Mokuba main while was trying to sneak towards the TV cupboard.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seto and Jou yelled together as Seto dive to keep the cupboard shut and Jou dived to grab Mokuba and hold him back. Unfortunately their yells of dismay could not drown out the sound from the speakers at the exact time when the wordless moans turned to words.
"Yes! YES! MORE! MORE! Oh ohohohohohoh more!" Jou picked up Mokuba and ran to the door and nearly threw the poor kid out of it. He shut the door quickly but not before the speakers screamed out, "HARDER!!!! FASTER!!!! STRONGER!!!! LONGER!!!! YES!!!!"
Jou shut the door and Seto opened the TV cupboard shielding his eyes with his arm and turned off the TV. And shut the door again.
"That," Seto said after a long moment of silence. "Was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life." Each boy took a moment to digest what they had seen and heard.
"That is definitely not how God intended babies to be made." Jou said.
Seto sat down on the bed and didn't argue when Jou sat on it as well. Seto shuddered "And to think our parents-"
"Don't even say it!" Jou interrupted. I still live with my dad. I don't need that along with my other problems. I still remember what my parent's look like." And he shuddered as well.
"That was very wrong." Seto said for the second time that night.
"Yes. Very VERY wrong."
"That stuff should be outlawed or something."
"Yes. It definitely should."
"That kind of stuff should NOT be on television."
"No. No it shouldn't."
"Can you stop agreeing with everything I say?"
"Not while your words speak only truth."
"hnnnnnnnn"
"I just had a thought." Jou said suddenly. "Does Mokuba have a television in his room?" Their eyes met and both boys dashed to the door and across the hall to Mokuba's door. Seto knocked softly.
"Mokuba?" he whispered. "You awake?" No answer. Seto reached into his pocket and pulled out his pen knife and quietly picked the lock on the door. Mokuba was in his bed with the blankets all twisted around him giving Jou the sneaky suspicion that he'd just jumped into the bed mere seconds ago. Seto, however, seemed satisfied that Mokuba was sleeping and quietly shut the door.
They went to Seto's room and Seto gave Jou an odd look. "You can go to bed now." He said. "The prank was a major bust. We'll think of something better next time."
Jou nodded and tiptoed down the hall to his own room. Funny that he couldn't get to sleep though. In his head he kept hearing, "Harder, Faster, Stronger, Longer." But eventually sleep came.

Whew! Well at last it has come to you. Chapter 9 of Come se MY house. I think this would be the chapter that would make this story pg 13.I don't think it really needs to be higher (it's not like there's anything left in this world that kids don't already know) but if you think it should be higher, seriously let me know and I'll change it. I don't want any parents offended.Thanks for reading and we'll see about the next chapter. After all, this is only the end of Jou's first full day at Seto Kaiba's house. Ahhhh the possibilities! Yeah. Until next time. Jade. And for the record if you're going to flame me about my spelling Jounouchi's name Jounichi I'm well past caring so give it up! I'm not changing! (Though I might change when I upload the completely edited version some day far down the road)
