Chapter 8-Misunderstanding Situation

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Yugioh!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

Jou passed by Maria's desk as he nodded to her, Maria nodded back as Jou knew that Seto was in his office waiting for him. "Wait a minute Jou," Maria said quietly as Jou stopped but didn't turn to look at her, "he really wants to apologize. Besides Jou, I am married so why did you believe that Seto was having an affair with me? Just go and speak with him and you'll understand," Maria said with a smile as Jou thought now he was acting foolish since he didn't know that Maria was really married. Jou opened the door as he saw Seto sitting at his desk waiting for him, he closed the door behind him.

"Seto," Jou said softly as Seto looked at him, Jou went towards his desk as he sat down in front of him. "I'm sorry," Jou murmured as Seto shook his head, "you are special to me Jou. I know you just want to spend time with me but it's the actual tournament and people might think you'll win on purpose since I know you and all," he said as Jou nodded. "I know, I just don't know what got over me," he said quietly, "your idiotic that's got over you. That's what I like about you," Seto said with a smile. Jou blinked, "I'm not an idiot! For your information, I have dueled way better then you," he said as Seto rolled his eyes.

"As I was saying Jou, I told Maria to hold onto your ring but you jump into conclusions," he said as Jou nodded. "I know that now. Maria told me that she was married just now," he said as Seto nodded, he opened the drawer in his desk as he brought out the ring that Jou took off awhile ago. "I want to be with you. I don't want to loose you Jou," Seto said as Jou's eyes began to water with tears, "I'm so sorry Seto. I shouldn't had been like that," he said as Seto shook his head. "The tournament is about to end and your duel with Rebecca tomorrow. You can spend some time withme now," he said as Jou's eyes lit up, "really? Your not busy?" He asked.

"Didn't you dueled Rebecca before?" Seto asked as Jou frowned, "the first time that we met her, Yugi was the one who dueled her. Eventually, he won of course," he said as Seto nodded. "It's like she focus's on high level monsters and magic cards along with direct attacks," Jou explained, "so, that's how she became the USA champion," Seto said as Jou rolled his eyes. "You want me to help you with your deck?" Seto asked as Jou blinked, "but I thought you said that I have to do this on my own," he said. "I don't want you to loose to some idiot kid," Seto explained, Jou pouted.

"I will not loose!" He exclaimed, "Rebecca won every tournament that was held in the USA in her region. I'm not surprised that Yugi had beaten her easily," he said. "Actually, he like forfeited to Rebecca but everyone knows that Yugi would have won in the next round," Jou explained. Seto blinked, he didn't know that Yugi did that. "Do you know where the duel will be held at?" Jou asked as Seto stared at him, "I'm not stupid enough to tell you that Jou," he said as Jou glared at him. "Just don't take off your ring, all right Jou?" Seto asked as he stared at Jou's middle finger with the ring on it, "I won't Seto," Jou said with a smile.

"Since you are here now, why don't we kill some time?" Seto asked as he stood up and went over to where Jou was sitting and Jou turned around in his chair to face him, "are you saying...?" Jou asked with a smile. Seto nodded as he knelt down Jou's level to kiss him on the lips hungrily, "I want it now," he murmured as Jou nodded and the two kissed once again.

(The next day)

"Jou, we didn't saw you back at the hotel," Yugi commented as he saw Jou, yawning as everyone was at the arena waiting for Rebecca and Jou's duel to begin but they have to know where first. "He didn't get enough sleep," Rebecca said as Jou glared at her, "hey! Is that a hickey on your neck?" Mokuba asked as he pointed and Mitsuki giggled. Jou blushed, "oh Jou! Did you made up with Seto last night?" Honda asked as Jou showed them his ring. "Congrats!" Everyone said except Rebecca and Anzu, "attention everyone! The semi-final is about to begin!" Roland's voice said as everyone looked up and saw Roland standing beside Seto who was staring at Jou.

"I wish you good luck Jou," a familiar voice said suddenly as Jou turned and saw Mai Valentine standing beside him, Jou gasped as he stared at her. "Mai! What are you doing here?" He asked as Mai grinned, "Yugi called me telling that your duel with Rebecca is today. I can't wait to see you get beaten by a girl," Mai said. Jou's eyes twitched, "why aren't you in the tournament?" He asked as Mai shrugged. "I recieved an invite from your fiancee, but I was busy at the time and couldn't come so I wrote him back. I got a respond saying it was ok," Mai explained.

"So your back for Jou's semi-final duel?" Honda asked as Mai nodded, "you look good though," Jou said blushing as Mai smiled. "Thanks Jou," she said as Jou nodded, "still friends but Jou still have a crush on her ever since the two met," Yugi said sighing as Honda nodded. Unknown to Jou, Seto was watching the whole thing as he glared at his fiancee angrily. "All right! The computer will pick the location where Mokuba and Jou's duel will be hold at," Roland said as he pressed the button, everyone watched as the computer mixed up every place as they waited.

"They will be dueling inside the hunted mansion!" Roland said as Jou gulped and Rebecca cheered, "Jou's afraid of ghosts isn't he?" Honda asked as Yugi nodded. "Remember the duel he had with Bonze and Keith? He was scared to death inside that creepy place where he had to duel," he said as Honda looked at Jou, "hopefully his ready for this," he murmured. "Duelists! Go to your destination as your friends, family or love-ones are forbidden to come with you!" Roland said as everyone stared at Roland in surprised, "what? Then where can we watch?" Yugi called out.

"You can watch it right here in the place you are now. A screen will come down soon enough as soon as the duel starts," Roland explained as Jou stared at Seto. So, he wants me to duel without anyone beside my side this time. I can handle it, he thought as Rebecca stared at Jou. "You won't win Jou! I will advance to the next round and duel Yugi myself!" She said as Jou snorted, "even if you do that, Yugi will will. I will advance in the next round," he said as Rebecca glared at him and the two were facing one another in the hunted mansion all by themselves.
