Chapter 5: my business associates 'get together'
"Big brother!" Mokuba threw open Kaiba's bedroom door. Kaiba immediately grasped Jou's chin and brought his face closer
"No sorry Jou, I don't see anything in your eye!" Kaiba stated just a little louder than he had to. Jou smiled, déjà vu anyone? Jou lifted his hand to his eye.
"Are you sure? It really hurts." Jou threw back at him none too melodramatically.
"I hate to interrupt-" Mokuba stated from his space in the doorway. "But, Yugi's on the phone asking about Jounouchi." Kaiba gave Jou a questioning glance but the buy just shrugged his shoulders.
Kaiba took the phone from his brother who promptly disappeared through the door. After a while of just 'hmm'ing and sitting there impassive Kaiba spoke.
"What do you mean Jou's missing?" Kaiba shot a meaningful glance at the said boy who looked puzzled and scratched his head. Kaiba hmed a little more. "So, he's not missing, he's just late."
Kaiba POVI felt Jou shifting beside me and I put a hand on his chest to keep him from moving, I wouldn't want him hurting himself after I spent all tat time tending to his wounds.
"Sorry, no, I haven't seen him." I heard a few muffled shouts from over the other line before Yami's voice replaced Yugi's. I listened to the boy although lacking interest in anything he had to say. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
"No, Yami. I can assure you I do not have his corpse stored under my floorboards. Yes, goodbye." I heard Jou snicker a little and removed my hand from his chest after I was sure he wasn't running away.
"Seto, I have to go." Did he just call me Seto? I felt blood pool in my cheeks
"You're in no condition to move mutt."
"Yugi'll be worried." He whined I had to fight again from rolling my eyes.
"What does it matter? Just lie down"
"Kaiba I-"
"No! Last time I let you leave you got hurt!" I gasped and brought a hand to my mouth. Please. Please tell me I didn't just say that. I shot a look at Jou and judging by the way he was looking at me, I definitely said that out loud. Shit.
Normal POV
You don't blame yourself for that do you?"
"I should've known I shouldn't have let you go!"
"To hell with your self pity! How could you of known I didn't tell you" Jou took a shaking gasp and put a hand to his head entangling his fingers in the golden strands " I need to go to Yugi's" Kaiba felt a sting.
'Am I not trustworthy enough, doesn't he think I'd listen and help him with his problems' Kaiba's eyes took on a haunted look as these thoughts ran through his mind.
"Stay here, Jou." Jounjouchi sighed and let out a sob. "Jou" Haiba's voice was tinged with noticeable desperation.
"I have to go, I'm sorry. Thanks for everything." Jou stood swiftly and left the room before Kaiba could stop him.
Kaiba's cell chose that moment to start to vibrate on the bedside table. Kaiba managed to answer it politely despite his depressed mood.
"Seto Kaiba speaking." It turned out to be one of his business associates; he was having what he called a 'get together.' And had cordially invited Seto along. Regardless of how Seto hatred business outings with people almost twice his age and half his brain cells, he accepted, he just wouldn't be a good businessman if he couldn't stay on good terms with his associates.
Seto received the location of the so called outing (which turned out to be to the puzzlement of Kaiba, a hotel bar) he set off in getting ready to go and play the good businessman.
Jounouchi had been lying when he left Seto's mansion he wasn't going to Yugi's, he was going to go home. 'Just go home and accept the client.' Jou repeated to himself like a mantra.
Jou clutched his peace offering in his hands, which just so happened to be alcohol, he just hoped that his dad would be okay with him sneaking out the house again, well, if I just tell him I went to get his beer, he won't mind.
Jou got home and as her had assured himself he fooled his father in to thinking he had just gone out to buy his beer then he 'happily' accepted his 'client' and set off to get ready. Jou hated this, prostituting his body, he wanted to puke on himself, but if it would save him from his father for a while…
Seto Kaiba stood in the room by the window, when he had arrived his associates told him that he was going to be meeting with a… prostitute! Despite his age and his blatant lack of disrespect for prostitutes they had insisted that it would be fun!
So he just stood by the window thinking of one hundred ways to torture businessmen to death and then one hundred ways to deter a prostitute.
His stomach turned as a key turned in the lock
Jounouchi stepped up to the hotel room; this place was pretty posh so hopefully the client would be half decent and not so abusive as some of his regulars.
He opened the door and as soon as it swung open he was a silhouette standing by the window.
"Excuse me, I am Jounouchi Katsuya, I will be your host for this evening. He glanced up into the cerulean blue eyes of a puzzled and erratic looking brunette.
okay so this chapter was a little longer i think but were getting toward the end of the story. i hope your still enjoying it and thank you again to everyone who reviewed!
