Disclaimer: I don't own any characters of Yu-gi-oh! If I did I'd be rich and not writing fan fiction.

Summary: Anzu's birthday is coming up so her and the gang hit the club scene for a pre birthday celebration. She invites her new crush, Seto Kaiba, hoping to form a relationship. Who knew that he already liked someone and that that someone was her friend! S/J, implied H/O, Y/YY

Chapter 6

Jou noticed that their hands were still entwined and blushed softly. Seto's hand just felt so right, like it was meant to be there. His friends wouldn't do anything to keep them apart, would they?

Once everyone noticed the Jou and Seto had arrived together they quieted down immediately.

"Oh Jou we were so worried. Mai told us that you went to get drinks but you took so long that we were just setting up a search party" said Yugi, relieved that his friend was alright.

Yami, perceptive as always, was the first to notice that Seto and Jou were holding hands. He chuckled and said "Yugi, I'm sure that Jou was in good hands, literally." When Yami said that Jou began to grow more nervous than before. Seto must have sensed his anxiety because he brushed his thumb over Jou's knuckles and gave him a reassuringly small smile.

"Of course he's in good hands" sneered Seto.

Once everyone had a moment to register the underlying meaning behind Yami and Seto's words, apprehension dawned on them.

Everyone wore a different expression.

Yugi looked happy for them, Otogi looked smug, almost as if he expected this to happen, Mai looked slightly relieved, knowing now that the reason that Jou had rejected her had nothing personal to do with her, Honda at first looked shocked at the news but soon got over it and shrugged it off, but Anzu…for her shock came first, then realization, then disgust, but lastly pain, betrayal and pure malice.

Considering all the friendship speeches she had given over the years she thought that Jou would have the common decency to not steal their friends' boyfriend.

Kaiba had danced with her.

Kaiba had kissed her.

The only response that she could fathom at that moment was a blunt "What the hell!"

Now for Anzu to even say the word 'hell' let alone scream it was enough to make anyone nervous. The only other time she had reacted that way was when she found out that Yugi and Yami were going out.

"Uh…Anzu, calm down okay?" tried Jou hesitantly.

Seto just gave her a passive look, no emotion on his face. Everyone around the table just decided to let everything unfold and play out. They had enough confidence in Jou to be able to handle things and along with Kaiba their odds increased.

"Calm down! CALM DOWN?" screamed Anzu. Good thing the music was blasting and only a few people stopped dancing and became aware of the fiasco, but then returned to dancing. The DJ noticed the outburst and smartly increased the blast of the music.

"Haven't my friendship speeches taught you anything! How can you be standing there and holding my boyfriends hand?"

The rest of the table gasped.

'Seto and Anzu? Boyfriend and Girlfriend? Is it true?' were pretty much their thoughts. They decided to continue to be silent and let the drama play itself out instead of interfering. Yugi was about to say something but Yami held him back.

"Look, we were never in a relationship and we never will be either" said Kaiba coolly. Jou glanced at Seto but it turned into a heated glare. He also squeezed Seto's hand tightly to let him know that he did not approve on the way he was treating his friend.

"Anzu, you don't understand, Seto never was your boyfriend to begin wit" amended Jou.

Another gasp went around the table when they heard Jou call Kaiba 'Seto' and Kaiba wasn't mad about it.

"No, its not true… It can't be true… it just can't be. He danced with ME, he kissed ME!" she screamed out, stressing the word 'kiss'. A third gasp went around the table. When Anzu said this Jou began to feel slightly guilty, but more jealous.

"He only kissed you to try and make me jealous!" Jou yelled, unable to restrain his jealousy any longer. Seto loved him, not Anzu and that kiss meant nothing Jou kept telling himself.

When Jou confessed that little tid bit Anzu's eyes grew wide, her mouth was gaped open and her eyes became watery with tears, ready to spill over her eyelashes.

Seto, during this whole confrontation kept a cool mask on his face, the only time he changed his expression was to grimace when Jou had squeezed his hand too hard in warning.

"Is..i-it true?" stuttered out Anzu in a near whisper but loud enough for the whole table to hear. Jou snapped his attention to Seto just like everyone else. Anzu was begging Seto with her eyes to claim his everlasting love for her. Very deep down she knew that he wouldn't love her. Kaiba hardly every paid her much attention. He ignored everyone except Mokuba, Yami and Yugi and Jou. He always picked on Jou. Everything they said to each other was filled with passion, mistaken for anger. Jou is the only one that is able to make Kaiba break out of his stoic mask and show emotion, even if it was just anger. Although she still knew all that she was still willing to hope that he would choose her.

"That kiss meant nothing. I feel nothing for you, the only reason why I would even soil my lips with yours was because I was jealous when Jou and Mai kissed that I decided to try and make him jealous in return. That's all, you were nothing more than a pawn."

By the time Kaiba had finished his explanation everyone had moved away from him, including Jou. They thought that Kaiba was finally being friendlier after confessing his love to Jou, but he was still cold as ever.

Kaiba noticed the silence around him, other than the soft whimpers coming from Anzu and the music blasting in the background. He then also noticed that Jou had stopped holding his hand as he silently clenched his fist as it slowly became colder. He chanced a glance at Jou and tore his eyes from Anzu. Jou looked slightly surprised, saddened, but worst of all he seemed disappointed.

Seto was confused as to why Jou was disappointed in him. Saddened, sure, he just told him that he had used his friend to his face, that's also where the surprise came from, but what about the disappointment? Seto shifted his view to everyone else around the table and they all wore similar expressions.

Seto was beyond aggravated. He didn't like not understanding things and right now he was entirely confused.

"WHAT!" he snapped, breaking the people around the table from their stupor.

"How can you be so cruel, Kaiba?" spoke Yami, voicing everyone's thoughts. Yugi was clenching his shirt, trying to hold back the condescending words that he knew would probably come out of his koiboto's mouth. Seto merely glanced his way but didn't answer him.

Seto decided to ignore the rest of the people gathered there and focus his attention on Anzu and Jou only. He understood what he did wrong, not only did he say that he had used Anzu to all their friends but he practically called her worthless.

He understood what they expected of him.

What Jou expected of him.

If he wanted to be forgiven and be with Jou without any hard feelings in their brand new relationship he had to apologize, but that didn't mean he wanted to, more like blackmail if anything. He turned his face away from Jou and stared straight into Anzu's eyes.

"I'm sorry for using you and saying those things about you" Seto apologized awkwardly and through clenched teeth.

Everyone's eyes widened when those words left Seto's mouth and all silently accepted his apology. Jou's eyes were now shining with admiration and love toward his new boyfriend.

Seto knew that his friends were important to him and he had put his reputation as a cold hearted CEO on the line, just for him.

"Ap-pology acc-cepted…" stuttered out Anzu through new tears, but these were not full of sadness. She decided to give up on Seto as she saw the love the two teens shared. Although it was hard f giving up on Yami and now on Seto she knew that the people that they had ended up with were meant for them. A perfect match. She sniffed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and smiled a sad but satisfied smile.

"Why don't we all call it a night and head on home?" asked Otogi.

Murmurs of agreement circled the group. Everyone got up from the table and said their departing words and congratulations and left. Anzu was the last one standing there looking at both Jou and Seto and their joined hands. Mai backtracked and tugged on Anzu's shoulder, leading her out of the club.

Jou and Seto turned to one another at the same and locked eyes. Jou gave Seto a blazing smile that made the frown on his face disappear.

"Thanks" whispered Jou, loud enough for Seto to hear, blushing slightly and facing the floor.

Seto would have none of that though. He lifted Jou's face so they locked eyes again.

"Anything for you" responded Seto as he leaned down with his hands on Jou's waist and gave him a very thorough kiss that spoke of love and devotion which Jou gladly reciprocated.
