Jou's POV

Atem pulled up to the valet parking at the exclusive Kaiba Mansion. He paid the young man and opened the doors for Yugi and Jounouchi. They walked up the red-carpeted walkway to a rather large looking bouncer at the main doors. Atem held out his and Yugi's letters, allowing the guard to read them and let them pass through. Jou reached into his jacket and felt for his letter. Where was it? He swore he put it in there…he looked up to call to Atem but they had already entered the building. Great, Jou thought, this is exactly how I wanted this evening to start out!

"Are you having some trouble, sir?" The voice from behind him took him off-guard. It was Seto Kaiba, and Seto didn't recognize Jou from his new do. He turned around and smirked at the flabbergasted face that Seto managed to pull.

"What was that you called me, Kaiba?" he leered.

"Katsuya?! What the hell happened to you?" Seto was breath taken. What had happened to the scruffy puppy he had known so well, now replaced by an Adonis image of perfection and beauty?

"Well, I guess I won't be coming after all," Jou said. He patted his pockets one last time before realizing that the letter was back home. "I left my invitation back at my apartment. Oh, well, can't say I didn't try!" He began to walk away when Seto reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Hold on, I can get you in. Follow me," Seto pulled him around the guard and past the gardens on the south end of the mansion to the employee quarters. He stopped walking at a door and turned to Jou. "Now," he said, "enter this door and take the hallway to your left, then go right, and go through the door you see there. That will lead you directly to the ballroom, you got that?" Jou nodded.

"Hey, Kaiba!" Jou said as Seto walked away. "Why are you letting me sneak in? I don't have my letter, I'm not allowed."

"What, I can't do something nice for a friend?" Seto smirked. He turned and walked away quickly back through the gardens and back to his awaiting party guests.

Actually, Seto, you can, thought Jou as he opened the door and set off for the ballroom.

Seto's POV

Seto walked at a brisk pace around the building and nodded to his body guard Ryuta-san. What was Jou trying to do? Seto was practically running to his office, forcing himself to slow down as his thoughts ran rampantly. He looked amazing; I've never seen him look so distinguished! Is he trying to impress somebody? I've always felt something special for the cute puppy but this new image has me out of my mind! The attraction is stronger than ever now, what am I to do? Seto had entered his office and shut the door firmly behind him. He leaned against the door and ran to the large mirror. He was proud of his appearance, he always was. His hair was brushed to perfection, his teeth had been whitened and face thoroughly washed. His white Armani suit was spotless and crisp, the large metallic dragon collar-piece that sat across his shoulders shimmered and flashed. Yes, then why did he feel so dirty? He paced around for a few minutes until Mokuba knocked on the door dressed in his best whites to match his older brother.

"Are you feeling okay, Seto? The party is about to begin and I haven't seen you since you disappeared with that man," Mokuba's shaggy hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and out of his eyes. Seto glanced up and attempted a weak smile.

"Thanks, Mokie-kun. Yes, make sure all the guests are assembled in the grand ballroom and I'll be down to give the speech in a few moments," Seto said matter how bad he was feeling Mokuba always managed to make him feel a little lighter. He loved his brother so much, he did everything in his power to make sure Mokuba was taken care of. The young teen smiled broadly at his older brother and disappeared in a flash. Seto reached blindly into a drawer and shuffled through some papers to find his index cards he had his small speech written on. His fingers encountered something hard and metallic; Seto pulled out a small silver picture frame with Jou's picture in it. Mokuba had caught Jou off-guard and took a photo of him with ice cream all down his shirt.

"Oh, Jounouchi...puppy...why did you have to change? I loved you the way you were," Seto whispered into the air. He found his cards and jogged out of his office and down the stairs to the grand ballroom. Everyone had already taken their places at the tables he'd reserved for all of them. Atem, Yugi and Jou were all sitting at a table close to the stage.

Great, I'm going to break out in a sweat with New Jou so near, he thought. He walked up onto the stage and the room silenced. He smiled and greeted his public in a clear voice. "Thank-you for coming, everyone. Welcome to the Domino City 3rd Annual Children's Benefit Banquet!" His lull of speech was filled with a polite applause. "Thank-you. Now, as I'm sure everybody knows, Kaiba Corp hosts this event because I myself was helped by the wonderful Children's Benefit Organization. As a token of my gratitude I agree to host this banquet in hopes of raising enough money to give the Organization a new housing facility and school. We are but a few thousand dollars short of making this dream a reality so I encourage every person here tonight to make a donation. On behalf of Kaiba Corp and myself, Seto Kaiba, enjoy your evening!" Seto bowed and walked off the stage while the polite applause continued. Seto could feel droplets of sweat forming on his brow and sliding down his neck. He walked into a bathroom and cooled his face with cold water, relaxing as the water cooled his nervousness.

"Well done, Kaiba. You actually seemed human for once," Seto was startled by another voice in the bathroom, this one belonging to Jounouchi, who had come to confront Seto.

"Is that so hard to believe?" he snapped. He wished he hadn't done so when Jou's winced.

"I can see you're back to normal, then. It's not right for me to be at this party tonight, Seto. I just came to say goodbye. I already made my donation...not much...a couple bucks from what I had inside my wallet. I want to get out of this suit anyway, it's getting really hot. But, anyway, I'll see you later." Jou shrugged and turned away. Seto rushed forward and caught Jou's arm.

"No, stay, Jounouchi! You got all dressed up tonight, no sense in wasting it all. Do me a favor and stay for a while, I'll make sure it's worth your while," Seto eyes were pleading Jou to stay. Jou read this was candid innocence and shrugged off Seto's grip.

"Awright, Kaiba. I'll stay. Only for a bit though, I have to get back so I can get up for work in the morning."

"Good," Seto breathed, letting Jou's arm fall. Jou turned and headed out of the bathroom with Seto not far behind him.

So that's Pt. 2! It's a lot longer than the first but there was more to tell in this one! Please R&R and let me know your thoughts. No flames, please! -Shelby-
