Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!
To Info: Yes, I did notice, and the whole Anzu-bashing is usually a bit hypocrite, even if I find it quite funny to read. After a few chapters of having my fun, I dropped the Anzu-bashing though. In fact, I've planned a more important and better role for the girl. As this chapter will reveal…
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
NORMAL POV:
A little tune went off and Mokuba grabbed for his cell phone. "Mokuba speaking?"
"Young Mister Kaiba," the voice of a middle-aged man replied.
"Ah, Mister Tsuki," Mokuba chirped happily through the phone. "How are you doing?"
"Fine Mister Kaiba. Everything goes according to plan."
"Ah, very well." Mokuba grinned smugly as he reached for a pen. "And does the money satisfy you?"
"Yes, of course, Mister Kaiba." The voice sounded slightly shaking through the phone.
"Ah… very well then." Mokuba chuckled as he started twirling around the pen in his hand. "Then I'll just have to think of my next step." He was silent for a moment, as if plotting something, but then frowned.
'I hope those two won't ruin my plans for them. Not after all the effort I put in it to get them together. Jou has to be together with Seto so that he can make the both of us less lonely…'
"I'll call you, when I'm finished planning on my next step."
And Mokuba hung up the phone.
JOUNOUCHI'S POV:
I pack my belongings and am about to leave this hellhole called school, when my annoying cell phone calls for me. I pick it up and roll my eyes. The kid sent me a message again… Who else would be? I grin as I started reading. Mokuba was always good to get messages from.
Hey Jou.
When you're finished with your work for my bro, I'm gonna take you out shopping. I've been thinking about raising the production of our movie. Asking for your opinion on the issue now.
Mokuba.
Oh… that's right. I still haven't informed the kid about me just being fired from KaibaCorps. Damn, I should've asked money for the movie! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stu-
No, I can't think that way. I will find my own damn way to get money, and I'm not gonna beg that cheater Seto Kaiba to give me back that stupid job of his. I won't let the bastard win!
There just gotta be a way…
NORMAL POV:
Jou sighed as he leaned against one of the walls from the school building outside. He picked out Mokuba's number from his contacts-list and pressed his phone against his ear. After a moment someone picked up. "Hi Jou! Did you get my message? You had a good time with my Big Brother? You…"
Jou rolled his eyes as he listened to the boy's rambling through the phone. Sometimes, Mokuba could even be too hyperactive for him. But he was great company none the less.
"Hey, slow down buddy!" Jou grinned. " Okay, yes, no and I don't know."
"What are you talking about?" Mokuba seemed confused through he other end of the line.
Jou laughed. "Yes I got your message. No, I definitely don't enjoy sitting alone in in some boring classroom for a whole hour with only your brother's company, and possibly never will and-"
"Keep telling yourself that, Jou." Mokuba sounded smug through the phone, and Jou wondered if he really was talking to the innocent young Kaiba. But then, Mokuba did help him making that movie… "We both know that you feel something for my Big Brother."
Jou rolled his eyes. 'Here we go again…' he thought.
It was always like that when talking with Mokuba. The kid insisted on him liking his brother. But he always played the game with the boy. He rather liked the silly arguments. Somehow they seemed like the smaller version of his and Moneybag's arguments before the 'incident' had happened.
"I do not like your damn brother!" Jou sneered through the phone.
"Oh yeah?" Mokuba challenged on the other end. "Then why are you being so obsessed over him?"
"I am absolutely not obsessed over him!" Jou protested.
Jou was grateful that almost everyone had left school by this time and the reporters that were always hanging around school had followed Kaiba's limousine that had just picked up the brunet moments ago. Jou really didn't want to think about the result of people hearing him.
"You even made a movie about him," Mokuba pointed out.
"That was revenge!" Jou argued back.
"Oh yeah? Then I'd like to hear you tell that to my bro-" The boy paused for a moment as if thinking. Then something seemed to click in his mind. "Jou, where's Big Brother? He should be with you right now."
Jou sighed. Time to tell the kid about the results of their actions. "Your 'dearest, greatest, cutest and by far the best' brother fired me , Mokuba."
A gasp was heard on the other end of the line. Then a loud screech: "HE DID WHAT?" Several unmentionable things were muttered through the phone, making Jou wince. Gods, where did that kid learn these words from? Surely not from Seto Kaiba?
Suddenly the bad mood was gone and a happy Mokuba was back on the phone. "I know, Jou! Why don't you become my babysitter!"
Jou widened his eyes. "Are you kidding me! I have a job again?" Jou thought about it, but then frowned. "What about Seto? I don't think he'll like the-"
"I don't care!" Mokuba shouted enthusiastically through the phone. "I'm hiring you, so I'll be your new employer. Big Bro can't fire you then!"
Jou sighed, but gave in anyway. It wasn't like he had a better option at the moment. Money was money, right? He wasn't a picky person. "Okay boss, then how about I start the job today?"
"Sure thing!" the boy chirped from the other end. "I've sent a car on the way to your school."
And the line went dead.
Jou blinked and lowered his cell phone, staring at the gadget . How the hell did Mokuba know he was still on school?
Just when the limo arrived, Jou remembered. Mokuba had once put camera's on random places all throughout the school. And of course he must have seen him crying on the toilet. Jou had seen him placing a camera there. Which was possibly why the boy was so persistent on him liking his brother.
Jou shook his head as he stepped into the car. It didn't matter that much. Mokuba was his ally. He had helped him with these idiotic events. He had helped him paying Seto back. Mokuba could be trusted…
JOUNOUCHI'S POV:
Shopping together with Mokuba is almost as bad as shopping with Anzu. Which makes me pity Yugi. He is going through lots of trouble, going at least every week once with our Shopping Queen. Usually it was more then once a week…
So far, Mokuba has emtied a candy store. I wonder if he is really going to eat all that candy. He has bought piles of Manga. Most are Shounen Manga, but there is also a little stack of Shoujo and one is definitely a Yaoi story, but strangely he had wrapped that last one in, telling me that it was a present for someone. He has bought tons of games, leaving my jaw hanging. I mean, why not getting them straight from KaibaCorps? Why buy them when they're produced by your own brother anyway? And he has bought six Red Eyes Plushies. Leaving me wondering if he hadn't had enough with the six Blue Eyes that he had let his brother buy not too long ago.
Okay, so far so good. We had been talking about random things, and also about the raising of the production of our movie. I agreed about it. The more there's been sold the better right?
Of course, nothing goes right.
Because we bumped into Anzu, my sister and Yugi, who was slacking behind the Shopping Queen and her Student. I really don't want my sister to become like Anzu, or else her boyfriend will be broke in as second. And of course, I bet they will ask Mokuba and I to-
"Hey, join us!"
See what I mean?
"Sure thing!" Mokuba chirps happily beside me.
Oh god, what am I getting myself into?
The three Shopaholics go straight ahead, and I find myself slacking behind them with Yugi.
"Hey buddy, I feel for ya," I say to him.
He sighs. "Ah well, as long as they are happy. Besides…" And he brightens up considerably. "Anzu told me she would buy me that new game that's out!"
I feel a sweat drop gliding from my forehead. This is so Yugi.
"So, where's Honda?" I ask.
"Oh him?" Yugi shrugs. "He said he had some business to finish with Otogi."
Ah, so the idiot left Yugi to face the horrors by himself. Bastard. And what the hell does he need with Otogi anyway? Besides constantly fighting over my sister… Really, sometimes I think that if it weren't for my sister, they would look like an old married couple.
Suddenly, Yugi stops. "Hey, is that Honda and Otogi over there?" he says as he points across the streets.
I turn and look at the direction that the petite boy is pointing at and feel my jaw drop.
Oh my god. Honda and Otogi… invading each others personal space and not fighting over my sister?
I quickly clamp my hand over Yugi's mouth, since I know that he is about to call out to them.
I bent down and whisper in Yugi's ear. "Let's not disturb them." And I drag Yugi away after the three Shopaholics again.
"What was that about?" I hear Yugi mutter.
"Well," I say to him. "I think we shouldn't disturb them. It's not too often that we find Honda and Otogi not fighting with each other, right?"
Yugi shrugs. "What ever."
God, he didn't notice? Yugi can be so naïve. Honda having and an arm draped around Otogi is definitely NOT something that goes unnoticed. Except for when you're Yugi of course.
NORMAL POV:
As Jou slacked together with Yugi behind the three others, he found himself once more losing his luck.
"BIG BROTHER!" Mokuba yelled and he ran over to the older Kaiba.
Seto turned around, only to find his brother rushing into his arms. He blinked. "What are you doing here, Mokuba?"
Mokuba beamed. "I'm shopping here with Jou and his friends and sister!"
Seto looked up from his brother to observe the gang. An icy mask conquered his face and he stayed silent.
"Hi Kaiba…" Yugi tried, doing his best to be polite.
Shizuka joined Yugi's side on being polite. "Hello," she said rather timidly.
Anzu only gave Kaiba a curt nod of acknowledgement and Jou glared at the CEO.
Seto rolled his eyes, but Mokuba tugged on his sleeve, demanding him to at least greet them. Kaiba complied to his brother's wishes and gave a curt nod. As he looked up again, he let his gaze glide over every single one of the gang. Until his gaze locked with Anzu. The two brunets glared at each other, azure eyes sending electricity to azure. Tension building.
Jou's mind worked on hyper speed. He had to think fast. He had to try and get away now from Kaiba. As long as Kaiba didn't get the satisfaction of insulting them, it would do.
Too late.
"Mazaki, Flames of Passion is three blocks away." (1)
"Fuck Kaiba!" Jou shouted at the brunet. Yes, Jou was angry. And he blew up. In the middle of Domino. No one insults Katsuya Jounouchi's friends. This could not go well…
"Fuck you! Don't you dare insult my girlfriend!"
(1) I made up Flames and Passion, it's supposed to be a well known notorious bar in Domino City.
