Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Note to Nekosune: Well, it's never mentioned in the story that Jou's friends don't know that he's working. Nor did Jou ever mentioned to his friends where or when he worked. When Anzu asked him to come with her to dance, he wanted to get rid of her, so he said that he was busy. Just go and check chapter 3! I'm truly sorry, for the confusion. And thanks for the pocky and cookies!

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

JOUNOUCHI'S POV

I feel like shit.

First of all, my friends are angry at me which never gives me a good mood.

Then I have no clue what my job is about. Who knows what Kaiba is planning to do with me, he might put me in a dog-suit and drag me to school, ordering me to bark in front of the entire school-population.

To top the day off, me and Kaiba did reach the newspaper, though not the front page, but that isn't exactly the point here. Getting in the papers is bad enough, but it's even worse that they've somehow managed to make pictures of me and Kaiba hugging. We're supposed to be sworn archenemies, damn it! Which means that the papers are definitely going to put question marks to our relationship, and that will lead to more gossiping.

And the worst thing about getting in the papers is when your own father finds out. When I passed dad this morning on my way out of the house, I could have sworn I saw him twitch. And he had a newspaper in his hands… So it's obvious that he had just read the news about me and Kaiba.

I guess, the only reason dad didn't do anything to me, is because Shizuka had been home by that time. I don't think I'll have the same luck when I get back home from KaibaCorp.

I sighed quietly as I sit here outside under the same tree that I had sat under yesterday. Then I see a small boy with dark-reddish hair and golden bangs, a brunette with azure eyes and a guy with strange pointed hair, walking on the school area. My friends…

I do not feel like seeing them right now, so I get up and get inside the building. I walk through the halls and stop at the boys-bathroom. I open the door and walk inside, where I find myself face to face with none other then…

Mokuba Kaiba?

"What the heck are you doing here kid?" I ask the little guy.

He looks at me and smirks. "I'm hanging hidden camera's all over the school, so I can figure out what's wrong with big brother," he replies.

I raise my eyebrows, confused. His brother? Something was wrong with the great Seto Kaiba?

"What's wrong with him?" I ask.

Mokuba shrugged. "I don't know, that's why I'm going to find out."

I blink. "So you're going to spy on your brother?"

He grins and shakes his head. "Not really," he says. "Seto noticed that he had been emotionally unbalanced lately and he asked me to figure out what could have caused it. He always asks my advice with these sorts of things. So he basically gave me permission to observe him."

Emotionally unbalanced, he says. A menopause more like. Oh well, I figured that Kaiba would go to Mokuba with these sorts of things, since he can't go to anyone else. Though, it still sounds strange… Seto Kaiba asking his little brother for advice.

"So, how is he emotionally unbalanced," I ask.

"Well, like that time in the car-"

"You mean that time when he and Anzu were glaring like crazy at each other?" Yes, that had been totally crazy.

Mokuba nods. "Yeah… And yesterday when you hugged him and he didn't push you away and scold at you at all, but instead hugged you back."

Okay, that was the biggest blow in my face yet. Me hugging Kaiba is one thing, but I hadn't realised him hugging me back! Not at all. In my excitement I must have missed it, since everything was too much of a rush.

Don't ask, the answer is no. No, I haven't seen the pictures of me and Kaiba, I didn't dare look at them. I only know about them, because my sister told me.

Wow, Seto has actually hugged me… Damn, I feel the heat rising to my cheeks again.

I quickly look at Mokuba, but he's to busy with the camera's to see me blush. So I crawl out of the bathroom and rush away.

NORMAL POV:

The clock ticked by fast. Way to fast for Jou's liking. He wanted to stay on school for a longer while; he really didn't feel like working for Kaiba. And afterwards, he had to face his old man too, which was even worse, since Shizuka wasn't home. Nope, she was out shopping with Anzu and Mai.

As the bell rang, Jou mentally groaned in frustration. His life was over. Well, for as far has he still had a life… Since he had made it to the news, there was toms of gossiping about him behind his back. Everywhere he went, there was whispering.

Jou went through the halls towards his locker and already he heard the whispers. He sighed. 'And Kaiba has to endure this torture all the time,' he thought. 'I must say I feel sorry for him.'

He shook his head and made his way to his locker. He opened it and pulled out his stuff, only to find a note falling out. Curiously, Jou picked up the piece of paper.

Katsuya Jounouchi,

This will be the last time I warn you. Stay away from MY Seto.

If you try to steal him away from me, you gay-bastard, I'll make sure you'll regret it.

Miss Mysterious

Jou snickered and threw the piece of paper away. "What a bitch…" he muttered under his breathe. He threw his stuff in his bag and ran out of the building. 'As if I want to steal Moneybags; do I look like I'm gay?'

Outside Seto was waiting for him. "Come on," he said and he led the way towards his black limo. Unlike Jou, he ignored all the stares that people around the two gave them.
