Haircut

By: Hiki-chan

Jou gulped to himself. Damn. He was stupid! He knew he was playing with fire. But what did he do? He just had to make that stupid, stupid bet with that stupid, stupid prick. He knew all the consequences that would take place…

'Stupid mind' The blond cursed softly to himself. He had so happily thought earlier that he would be actually winning both ways. Well, that was sort of true. If Kaiba loved his hairstyle, Jou would be proving him wrong and thus show off to the rich snob that he was too, good at something.

The other? Well, if he had lost to him… Jou cringed. Losing meant that he would be the slave of that stupid snob for a whole week. 'A whole freaking week!' And the good thing? He would get to be with Kaiba a whole week.

'STUPID!' Jou screamed in his head. Stupid seemed to be the word of the day.

Well, judging from how he was reacting, it was rather obvious what had happened. Yep, Jou LOST. So now he was Kaiba's slave.

'How!' Jou growled to himself, 'His hair looks perfectly fine! He just too stuck-up to agree that he looks FINE!' The boy huffed to himself in anger.

Jou had consolation though. He was able to run his fingers through the brunettes hair. Silky auburn going through his fingers… ah, heavenly bliss.

BUT STILL! He had to be the annoying jerks slave! That's almost like being his dog! Ahh! The horror, the horror. His pride wasn't going to last through this…

"Are you sure you don't like it Kaiba?" Jou asked more persistently, "I mean, it looks the same!"

"Puppy, puppy, puppy." Kaiba shaked his head slowly, "I do know how my hair is. If its not the same, then I'll know okay. Afterall, it is my hair"

"But but but…"

"Is there an echo in this room?" A sing-song voice asked from the doorway.

Both men turned to face the older man.

"Ahh Kaiba. Fabulous! You look absolutely fab! I take it that Jou does know how to handle all of his clients then."

Jou stuck out his chest proudly before he shot Kaiba a dirty look which clearly said, 'See! It looks fine!' Unfortunately, Kaiba just stood where he was and said, "No. Unfortunately, I don't like it at all. So as for now, Jou can go and continue with his clients with hopes that they don't scream at him."

Hotuko just ignored Kaiba's tone and clasped his hands together, "Good and well Jou! I'm sure you'll do fine with the rest of the clients."

"If you are allowing this," Kaiba took a glance at Jou, "Mutt to do the rest of the clients, it will have to wait until next week."

"Ah. Jou will be busy until then?"

"Yes he has other… engagements to attend to." The CEO answered, not bothering to consult Jou for anything.

Jou looked like he was about to say something and protest but a warning look from Kaiba shut him up.

"Right. Come along Mutt."

"Don't call me that." Jou growled lowly as he followed his 'master' out. Even though he was Kaiba's slave, he still didn't like being called a mutt. He never did!

"Come on now, hurry up! You are going to be helping me in the mansion."

"I'll be staying there?" Jou questioned the CEO. "What will I be doing?"

"Helping me with some chores and of course keeping Mokuba company and so on and so forth." He took a glance at Jou before he continued, "Yes you are staying. But we'll have to stop by your house to get everything that belongs to you. I mean clothes." Kaiba paused, "And to tell your father that you are going away for a week"

"Aww dang." Jou cursed, "It's alright, my father half the time doesn't even know I'm around. He's always out somewhere." Jou stopped, not sure whether he should continue before he muttered, "Somewhere which I don't think I want to know."

Kaiba turned to face Jou. For a moment he looked like he was going to console Jou. Unfortunately, this being Kaiba, snapped his mouth shut and instead said, "Let's go pup."

Jou sighed dejectedly before following the CEO out the hair stylist parlor.

Hotuko grinned widely as he watched the two man walk out before he said to himself, "Ahh, to be young again."

Jou shuffled his feet as he walked behind Kaiba. How could this be happening to him! It just wasn't fair. Jou cursed inwardly as he glared at Kaiba again. 'It's all your fault!' He screamed in his mind while taking aim and shooting invisible daggers at the CEO through his eyes.

Jou was so focused on trying to make his eyes burn through the CEO that he didn't notice the man stop in his tracks so Jou continued walking and it wasn't before long he banged right into him.

"Oww…" Jou moaned as he rubbed his head, "Come on Kaiba. Yeesh."

The millionaire or billionaire sneered at the blond, "We're taking the car so you better becareful while you're in it. I don't want doggy footprints all over." With that said, Kaiba turned back and walked to the drivers sit.

Jou clenched and unclenched his hands and slowly counted to ten again.

"Well hurry on mutt. Unlike you, I have many functions to attend to. I don't have time to attend to needs of a puppy."

Jou grit his teeth and slowly when inside the car. He paused as he sat inside and looked at Kaiba, "Don't have your driver?"

The CEO glared at him, "I'm old enough to get license mutt, I don't like to depend on other people for what I can do myself."

Jou nodded slowly, "Right…"

The whole journey in the car was in silence. No one talked before Jou broke the silence.

"How do you know where I live Kaiba?" He asked in confusion and could have sworn he saw the man blush lightly.

"That, is none of your concern." The car shrieked to a halt, "We are here anyway."

Jou gulped and look out the window. Indeed, they were there and it was looking as gloomy as ever. 'Let's hope that Kaiba won't come up with me.' Jou pleaded in his mind as he stepped out of the car. He squeezed his eyes shut as he heard the driver's door slam shut indicating that Kaiba got out of the car too.

"I'll come with you." The CEO declared.

Jou didn't bother to hide his groan.

To be continued.
