Chapter 8: Peace No Longer: Family Day Gone Bad

"Say it."

"No way in hell!"

"Say it." Seto demanded, voice grown husky, licking his lips hungrily.

Jou pouted making him even cuter in Seto's eyes. "I don't want to. It's embarrassing!"

Seto's eyes narrowed and playfully tugged at Jou's shirt. "If you don't, you won't get my present."

Jou's eyes lit up at the prospect of a present from his boyfriend of three months and thought vaguely of the present being an all you can eat buffet or some rare duel monster's cards that didn't even come out to the public. Knowing that giving in would make Seto even happier, if not more ego boosting, he sighed. "Master."

"What do you want?" Seto mocked with sweetness.

Jou's pout deepened, his cheeks a good shade of red. "Please can I have my present, Master?"

Seto smiled seductively at the forced submission and took out a small case from his pocket. Jou looked at it warily. "What is it?"

"Ahem. What was that?"

"Um—I mean, what's my present, my sexy, dominating Master of mine." Jou sugarcoated his question, knowing his 'Master' was pleased with the notion.

"Very good, pup. You know your Master." He stroked his blond pup's cheek and pushed him lightly on the bed, opening the present on top of him.

"Don't I get to open my present, Master?"

"No pup. I'll do it. Now..." He pulled Jou into a heated kiss and pulled away, Jou's face currently glazed over. "Pup?"

Jou looked at him and smiled. "Thank you Master, may I have another?"

Seto laughed at the sexual innuendo and kissed him again, stroking his lover's body in the tenderest of ways. It was all coming together. Mokuba was completely happy with their new life, his company flourished immensely, and best of all, after so much hard work, mind you, he finally had his beautiful, fiery blond pup by his side.

"Are we going to...you know..."Jou's quick breaths from the mind blowing kisses were halted slowly.

Seto got up off of Jou causing the pup to whimper from the lost of contact and smiled rapturously. "Do you want to?"

"You know I do...Master." He responded in his own seductive way, pulling Seto down.

Shirts were discarded and soft moans reverberated off and about the bedroom. Seto had his back against the backboard as Jou licked and kissed his lower stomach and moving lower. His hands trying their best to guide Jou's head down, he hissed as Jou's hand began stroking his erection through his pants.

Oh, how he wanted his puppy down there so badly...

As Jou began to unbutton his pants, Seto had never wanted release so badly...

Before Jou even had the chance to reach into Seto's pants, the door had burst wide open, revealing a cute, hyperactive little Kaiba jumping onto the startled couple.

Freaking out at the thought of Mokuba seeing sinful things, he scrambled behind Seto before Mokuba can glomp them and ended up into a full blown dog pile.

"SUPER MOKUBA FULL GLOMPING ATTACK!"

"AHHHH!"

Mokuba ended up glomping Seto's back, which Seto in turn had protected Jou's body from his own body's impact from the attack, and Jou had just lain there on the sheets looking unbelievably embarrassed.

"Mokuba..." Seto growled. "How many times do I have to tell you not to come in if the door is closed?"

"But Setooooo! We're going to be late for family day! You promised you'd come!"

Seto sighed. How could he have forgotten? He looked at Jou who was giving him a reluctant smile.

"Go on ahead, Moneybags. You don't have to worry about me."

Seto narrowed his eyes in deep thought for a moment or two, then turned to Mokuba waiting patiently on the bed. "Mokuba, give us a minute."

"Sure." He left.

Jou looked at Seto's face in confusion. "Is there something wrong?"

"You're coming with us."

"What!"

"Well, you are practically family, are you not?"

Jou could of almost cried. Seto thought of him as family! "If you want me to."

"Since that's settled, let's get dressed."

Jou felt a sharp pull of his neck forward and yelped as he saw Seto pulling on a leash...

Attached to his neck!

He looked down and felt a collar of some sort around his neck. In a flash, he jumped out of bed and proceeded to the mirror.

It was a black, belted dog collar with sapphire studs round cut embedded in them, with a gleaming silver tag attached with the characters:

Name: Katsuya Makoto Kaiba-Himura

Address: Japan, Domino City- Black Kingdom Ln. 3853 (1)

Owner: Seto Kaiba-Himura

If lost, contact this number- 696-7333 (2)

"Seto...I–" He was cut short by the light tugging of the matching leash by Seto. Jou smiled, there was only the guess that Seto understood of Jou's gratitude, and motion Jou to the closet to find some spare clothes. But in the meantime, he had to find out if Himura was Seto's real last name.


The trio had immense fun during family day. It had an outdoor picnic and family oriented competitions, which to Mokuba's pleasure, Seto had won with the brain teasers and Jou had won with the physical games earning many blue ribbons.

And to Seto's pleasure, no one bothered with the fact that Mokuba had only an older brother and his male boyfriend, making it easier to the CEO. He didn't bother socializing much, only to the high class businessmen with their families about the company and the sort. Mokuba was hanging with his classmates, and Jou was socializing with the adoring mothers and several teens.

"Oh! Katsuya, you're so adorable today!" A nice old lady proclaimed straightening Jou's already wrinkle-free clothes.

"Are you keeping dear Seto Kaiba in line?" One young mother joked leading him to the food which Jou was more than happy to be lead to.

"Of course, I am!" Jou replied happily, already munching on homemade pie. Many of the women giggled with the comments, 'he's so adorable' and 'Seto Kaiba had better feed him right next time, he's eating like there's no tomorrow!' and 'I wish my son was around me like Katsuya is' and Jou's favorite, 'His mother must have been crazy to leave such a wonderful son!'

Seto zoned out at the men's conversation to see Mokuba bounding toward Jou, showing him a new blue ribbon to add on to their growing collection of awards. Jou smiled and gave Mokuba a playful noogie, then the young brother jumped into Jou's lap to eat some of the food on the plate. Many of the mothers squealed at the cuteness. Deep inside, Seto was smiling. Everything was so perfect.

A real family, one that neither of them had had before.

"Picture time!" The principal declared on the megaphone. "Last names starting with Ah and down to Nhh!" (3)

Mokuba grabbed both Seto and Jou towards the line. He asked many families which last name they were.

"Okay," Mokuba said to himself. "Right now, we're passing 'Ooh', now 'Eh', then 'Oh'—here we are! 'Ka!'" They carefully squished into the line. (4)

"It's a good thing your guy's last name begins with 'Ka' huh?" Jou said. "We're close to get our pictures taken."

"Jou! It's your last name too!" Mokuba exclaimed. "We're family now!"

Both Seto and Jou felt warm inside. Even Mokuba agreed that Jou was part of the family.

"I mean, didn't you give him the collar, Seto?"

In response, Jou unbuttoned the first two buttons on his shirt to reveal the collar carefully hidden.

"Right! Jou, look underneath the tag."

Jou flipped the tag over and vaguely saw a Kaiba/Himura crest on it.

"See that crest?" Mokuba asked.

"Yeah..."Jou answered.

"It's our family crest." Seto added.

"Right! So, don't lose that collar, Jou! That's the most legal proof of evidence that you belong to our family!" Mokuba pointed out. "My brother and I have a crest in our lockets, for family."

"Yeah..." Jou murmured in complete bliss and buttoned up his shirt. "Family..."

"Mokuba!" the principal announced. "Your family's next!"

Seto hated taking pictures, hell, he hated looking at himself on TV, but it would make Jou and Mokuba happy, so he agreed.

The photographer had put Seto and Jou next to each other with Mokuba in the middle, and to Jou's surprise, Seto had wound his arm around Jou's waist pulling him closer. And they finished it with Jou's hands and Seto's free arm on Mokuba's shoulders.

Many women awed as the photographer said 'cheese'.

And for once, though no one can see it, the corners of Seto's lips were into a small smile.

After the picture was taken, the photographer told them it would take two weeks to develop and make standard size and wallet size, then said a few days when Seto had placed a $500 dollar bill into the man's hand while Jou and Mokuba wasn't looking.

"Make sure it's free from glares and red eyes, I want it perfect." Seto whispered in a businesslike voice.

"Yes sir." the photographer whispered back. "I've got this special stuff that could make the picture so real, it'd be like looking into a mirror."

"Good." Seto had planned on taping a picture inside his famous briefcase, one in his desk drawer, and some in his wallet. Of course without the others knowing.

He walked up to the duo, now counting up their ribbons. They turned and smiled. "What was that about?" Jou asked.

Seto shrugged and leaned his face towards Jou's, Mokuba turned around for the sake of his innocence. "Nothing. Everything's...perfect."

His lips were near to touch Jou's when they heard a female yell, 'SETO!'

All three of them turned and saw a beautiful young woman with long azure blue hair. She wore a very expensive stylish dress and stopped with the grace of a swan.

Seto blinked and replied. "Kisara!" (5) And slowly walked up to her. He jumped when this Kisara wrapped her arms around Seto's neck and kissed him for all he was worth.

Both Mokuba and Jou hadn't moved an inch. And Jou had felt his heart dropping and smashing into little pieces.

Seto withdrew from her. "Kisara, what?"

She smiled in hope. "I finally made it to Domino, love! We can finally get married!"

Mokuba was as dumbfounded. This can't be happening! She can't come back! Mokuba's plan was flawless! She wasn't supposed to come back!

"Jou..." Mokuba whispered dejectedly as he saw the heart breaking look in Jou's face.

This wasn't supposed to happen! Seto was supposed to be with Jou!

Jou felt his world crashing down. He was supposed to get married! Why didn't he...why didn't he tell him?

Was he just a lover on the side!

"Mokuba..." Jou said softly, blinking away the tears. "Um...I think I'll be heading home early."

"Jou!" Mokuba called when Jou rubbed his black head and ran off.

"No..." Mokuba clenched his fist as Kisara and Seto were engaged into a conversation, leaving Mokuba alone...

...again.

"She wasn't supposed to come back..." Mokuba choked out walking toward Kisara who was signaling him to see her again.

Jou was supposed to stay...


(1): In Japan, when they are stating their addresses, they start from the big location to the little location, unlike other countries where they start with the street address to the state/country. Japan is the opposite.

(2): Don't bother calling this number, it's my number...TT

(3): Okay, this gets a little weird. In Japan, their alphabet is completely different from ours. So they start with a (ah) i(ie) u (ooh) e (eh) o (oh), then ka, ki, ku, ke, ko, sa, shi, su, se, so, ta, chi, tsu, te, to, na, ni, nu, ne, no, ha, hi, fu, he, ho, ma, mi, mu, me, mo, ya, yu, yo, ra (roll your tongue), ri, ru, re, ro, wa, o, and n (nhh). So, they were happy that after a, i,u, e, and o, they were up next. Japanese everybody!

(4): Well, enough said, they were next. Why did I even bother putting a number 4 in this?

(5): She is not OOC, I assure you. The spoilers about her will be later in the chapters. But if you want to know before hand, I recommend looking on the net. I repeat, she is NOT OOC! She is very much in the fifth season of Yu-Gi-Oh!

A/N: Review plz! Need I say more?
