DISCLAIMER: I don't own the bishies of Yugioh. They belong to Kazuki Takahashi who I hope would give more attention to Ryou and Bakura… Anyway, thanks to those who reviewed the previous chapter and I'm glad that you forgave me because it was so short….. I hope that this chapter would satisfy your expectations… Don't forgive to review and give comments so that I (and this story) could improve okay? Also, I forgot to tell you guys that Princess Princess is now complete and I'm glad to say that there is a live action (Meaning REAL pretty boys) called Princess Princess D.

He's My Princess

Chapter 5: The Uncomplaining Fool

"Oh no…." The gaping Jou was too busy being shocked that he did nothing to prevent the two student council members from hastily leaving the room while mumbling a small goodbye. He only reacted once the door slammed shut, which conveniently brought him back to the real world and allowed him to go after the two.

"You jerks! How could you! Why I ought to….." The sentence was cut short when Ryou suddnely glomped Jou in fear of what the enraged blonde would do with the two if he'd caught up with them.

The pale boy automatically stood up and bowed in front of the flustered Jou as a sign of respect and apology for what he did. Jou, who was overwhelmed with guilt and shame could do nothing more than to hide it by scratching the back of his head and offering Ryou a once again a sheepish grin. Ryou smiled slightly in response and gave a silent questioning gaze to Jou who luckily was still vulnerable to Ryou's power, which was the reason why he could not find any reason to lie to the boy.

Finally, Jou stood up and carefully dusted his pants while walking towards the door to their dorm room. Seeing that Ryou was still standing there with his head cocked to the side gave Jou the impression of a mindless puppet that he had to control in order to move. However, he did not have any complaints whatsoever because of the beauty that this puppet had in possession. He was blinded and he was aware of that fact.

"Ryou, come along now, it's starting to become cold." Getting no response from the other boy, Jou sighed and added, "Fine, if it's explanations that you want to have, I have plenty to give, but please, just come inside. I don't want you to catch a cold and neither do you. Unless you want me to sleep with you in bed…" He winked suggestively at Ryou who didn't understand his joke so instead of frowning and shouting "hentai," he obediently complied to Jou's order with a big smile on his face, which brought one too for Jou. Ryou's smile was starting to become addicting and Jou had no complaints.

As they entered the room, Ryou and Jou sat down on the couch were Yami and Kaiba was sitting on before leaving. Scanning the table where lots of paper were scattered, Jou'eyes became sharper when he saw Ryou's signature in each of the accursed documents. He waited for the anger to melt until he spoke as soft as possible as to not frighten the confused boy already.

"Listen to me Ryou, but first of all, I'd like to apologize for everything…" Jou got down on his knees and asked for forgiveness using the proper japanese way. Ryou quickly stood up and made Jou stand up from his degrading position. Honestly, he did not know why the seemingly prideful guy would do that because he was so nice right from the start. Oblivious Ryou could think of nothing Jou did that harmed him, but looking at Jou trying to control his temper made him realize that it IS bad so he held Jou's hand softly and squeezed it for reassurance. Jou squeezed Ryou's hand back as a reassurance that he would continue, "As I was saying Ryou, I'm sorry for all the things that have happened to you and what might happen to you in the future."

"You were duped by those two."

"……………." Silence returned Jou's sentence, which he thought was a signal to start talking again.

"Could you tell me what happened?" Jou decided to shut his mouth first before accusing the two so he tried to asses the situation first before continuing with his suspicions.

"Well, when you left, they asked me the question again and explained me that I don't have to be rich, or to be of royal blood or to be such things to become a princess. In result, I asked them what they meant, is it something for a play and such and they told me that yes, it was something like that so I agreed." Ryou smiled as he remembered the earlier events. Those two sure were tense and acting funny…..

'Those bastards!' Jou thought.

"As I've expected Ryou, they really did dupe you. They "fogrot" to tell you how long you have to do the act. You have to do that for a whole school year you know…."

"So they didn't dupe me Jou, they might have just forgotten…" Ryou was startled when Jou hastily grabbed his hand from Ryou's and stared hard at the surprised boy with cold, steely eyes. "Don't be deceieved with their words Ryou." Ryou fliched from Jou's choice of tone and it went unnoticed from Jou's eyes, which was blinded by suppressed rage.

"You'll have to wear those silly and flamboyant dresses in front of horny teenage boys! You have to act like a girl and they didn't even consider the possibility that something bad might happen to you!" Ryou was frightened by Jou's enraged actions and scooted away from the other boy. He buried his face in his shoulders and trembled slightly as Jou continued with his fervent speech… However, when he noticed that no one was reacting, he became worried and quickly scanned the room. He saw Ryou was still on the couch, but was trembling terribly and seemed like he was trying to make himself smaller, invisible, unnoticeable. Guilt quickly overcame Jou so he sat beside the boy and gave him a comforting hug.

"Don't be scared Ryou. I'm not mad at you. I'm just scared for you ok?"

"I'm not scared Jou. I was just surpirsed with your outburst. Besides, there's no need for me to be scared anymore because you're scared enough for me as it is and besides, I know that you'll always be there to protect me." Ryou returned Jou's hug, which brightened the blonde's foul mood.

"So Ryou, you are not mad at me?"

Ryou shook his head in response.

"Aer you mad at Yami?"

Again, Ryou shook his head.

Jou sighed heavily and said, "Yokatta! It's good that you're not mad at him because he's saving you from Isis' blackmailing powers!"

"So are you mad at Kaiba?" However, before Ryou could shake his head once more, Jou gave off a goofy grin and said, "Honestly Ryou, I don't give a fk about him!" Ryou smiled in response. This might be a better school year for Ryou while Jou again, had no complaints!
