Disclaimer: Yeah I didn't owe them the last 2 chapters, I doubt I'm going to own them now…damn.

Oh my. Please don't let me look out my window and see a angry mob forming because of my ultra super duper late update. I'm so sorry. I know it's been well over 3 months since my last update… school has been hell. Homework, tests. All work and no play. But no fear, for I have finally updated. It might be a little shorter than usual.

Sorry this chapter shouldn't be too exciting for you all to tell the truth. It's basically explaining the first day of this project of theirs. Nothing too big. Sorry if I bore you to death. i just need a few chapters up before I start putting up the really good stuff.

"So you say I was in an accident?"

The brunette slowly nodded while keeping his head down. He knew what the blond was going to ask but he's just not ready to tell him everything yet.

"How did I get in the accident?"

"…" Not yet.

"Kaiba?" dark blue eyes shot up at chestnut colored ones but quickly softened at the sight

"Please…call me Seto" …

Chapter 3

Rain

It was Saturday. A day Jou did not mind. He looked over at the desk clock.

"I really should be getting up" he said to himself. It was already 10 in the morning. If this was his own home, he would have slept well past noon, but this was a different home. A home he was scared to close his eyes for a moment.

Seto Kaiba's home.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He stood up and headed to the bathroom.

He washed his face and made a run for the kitchen. He was met by someone he wasn't too keen on seeing.

"It's about time you woke up" a stern cold voice stated. He did not bother to look up from the newspaper to acknowledge the blonde's existence

"Shut up, it's Saturday. I'll wake up whenever I want to" the blond sat across from Kaiba who was sitting at the end of the table. Hazelnut eyes looked down disappointed at what wasn't in front of him.

He heard a faint sigh and looked up at the person it came from. The newspaper was in the way of Jou's vision of Kaiba's face and therefore couldn't see why he was sighing. He did see a hand push a plate over towards the blond. Jou looked at the plate of food with confusion, but didn't ask any questions. He took the fork and began to eat.

"So…what do you plan on doing today?"

"Work"

"How can you do work on Saturday"

"Simple, I do it every Saturday"

"Well you do know that if you go, I have to go too"

The newspaper was down and blue eyes glare at brown ones

"What in the hell makes you think that?" Jou took the time to point his fork at the CEO.

"Have you already forgotten? I am your other half. I must be where ever you are. Where ever it may be"

The blonde smirked at Kaiba's frustration

"A mutt like you has no business being in a high tech company like mine"

"A mutt like me doesn't give a shit about where he should and shouldn't be" blue eyes glared even more if possible at the comeback.

Jou's smirk only grew from the sight.

"Morning Jou, Morning Seto" brown and blue eyes both glanced over at the young raven haired boy who had a seemingly big grin on his face

"Morning" they both said simultaneously

"I'm heading over to Yugi's" blue eyes shot up at the young boy

"When did you decide that you could go wherever you want without consulting me?"

"But I did ask you, a couple days ago. You said it was ok" Mokuba replied, his voice sounding slightly desperate"

The brunette hadn't remembered Mokuba asking him anything along those levels. He must really be going crazy. With Jou around the house, he's not going to get any better

"Oh…well just make sure your back by dinner"

"Sure thing, see you later" before Jou could as much as wave, the raven haired boy had already rushed out the door.

There was an eerie silence after that. It seemed that Kaiba was too engulfed in the newspaper he was reading to say anything. Jou just sat there staring at his now empty plate thinking that maybe if he stared at it long enough, food would just magically appear.

"Mutt, staring at the plate isn't going to make food magically appear on it" Jou stared up at the brunette, slightly glaring

"Well you're so boring, I found more interest in the plate" he could hear a faint growl come out of the brunette and smirked

"Well if I'm so boring why don't you leave?"

"Can't, Jade has eyes all over the place. No telling what she'd do if I as so much as stepped out the house without you somewhere near" one of them thought he was being sarcastic, the other however was just making up an excuse to make sure the other was around him at all times.

Kaiba suddenly wasn't in the mood to argue and decided not to question it further

"Whatever"

-------------------------------

Jou couldn't believe how big the Mansion was after you took a thorough look through every door, staircase, and draw.

He only dreamt of living in a mansion such as this. Dreams his father said were foolish to have and only made him weaker. Even though he listened to every word his father said, he would never believe him. He always believed that dreams would make you stronger and strive for bigger and better things. If his father could just understand that, then they wouldn't be in the situation their in, but every time he tries to talk to his father, it always results in a kick in the stomach, or just a glare. Either one showed that Jou's father didn't care.

Jou gave up on getting through to his father and began thinking about his life and his life only.

"Mutt, get up" Jou turned over and stretched out across the couch. He must have dozed off, though he didn't remember ever sitting on the couch in the first place.

"What…" Jou blinked a few times and sat up and looked at the very impatient CEO standing next to the arm of the couch opposite to the arm that he rested his head on.

Blue eyes looked at the younger teen in front of him. He was irritated that the mutt would just fall asleep any time of day on his couch, but a tiny fraction of his brain thought the blonde was very serene when he was sleeping. The tiny fraction of his brain liked it better when Jou slept.

"Get up" he now said for the second time.

"Why, where are we going?" Jou ran his left hand through his hair as he slowly stood off the couch; blue eyes never left the blond. He was already dressed and ready and waited impatiently for the blond to trail upstairs and do the same.

"Out"

"Oh, well let's go then" the brunette looked at the blond incredulously.

"You're not going to get dressed?"

"I'm not naked am I?"

Kaiba took a moment to look down at the blonde. He didn't look horrible; he definitely didn't look presentable either. He wore a rather tight tank top that had light stains on the front of them, denim jeans that seemed way more expensive then anything Jou could pay for.

Probably a birthday gift the brunette thought.

"Whatever, lets go"

Jou opened the front door and actually allowed Kaiba to exit before him. It was his house; Jou had to have some manners while he stayed there.

He followed fairly close behind the brunette as they reached a black car that Jou has only seen in his magazine's he read during math class.

"You're…taking this car?"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

Jou shook his head vigorously and smiled excitedly to be able to sit in a car such as this one.

He waited for Kaiba to get in the car before he allowed himself inside.

The interior was dark and mysterious which seemed to match Kaiba's personality exactly.

He heard the car turn on and this burst of energy shot through his veins.

This car's just like the car from the fast and the furious! Jou thought.

The brunette glanced at the blonde and rolled his eyes back towards to front of the car

"No, I didn't get this car from the fast and the furious movie"

Chestnut eyes snap up at the brunette.

"How in the hell did you know I was thinking that?"

"Your eyes"

Once curious eyes slowly grew to a slight glare.

"What about them?"

There was a slight pause as if the brunette did not want to continue.

"Your eyes have a hard time hiding your inner emotion, and therefore it shows more emotion than intended"

Jou stared at the man behind the wheel. Jou wanted to take that statement as an insult, but for some reason he knew it was true.

He decided to let it drop and faced foreword to wherever the car may lead them.

-------------------------------

Jou really hadn't been paying attention to exactly where they were going or where they were, he just sat there staring out the window at nothing in particular.

The brunette noticed how silent it was. He occasionally glanced over at the blond, who seemed quite bored out of his mind. He was somewhat guilty for making the blond wait this long. He made a note to himself to never feel that way again.

"We're here"

The blond sat up and stretched. He took a look at his surroundings.

It seemed that they were in the middle of no where but there was a small café right to the side of the car.

"Why are we here?"

"This is a place I go to every Saturday. Just because I'm stuck with a mutt for 2 months if you weren't paying attention, doesn't mean that's going to stop my Saturday routine"

Kaiba waited for a retort from the blond but heard nothing. He looked up at the blond who was taking off his seat belt and was getting out of the car.

It was like he hadn't been listening.

"So why do you come here?"

"just to get away from everything I guess, being a multi billionaire isn't all fun and games you know" the brunette opened the door and stood aside while the blond cautiously walked with the brunette close behind.

"It's small; I'm surprised you think this place is good enough"

Cerulean eyes shot up at chestnut ones. He had intended to glare at them, but it seems all he could do was stare.

Damn his eyes he said as he brushed passed him, walking to the girl with the way too bubbly eyes at the end of the hallway.

"Why hello there Kaiba, pleasure seeing you again" he mentally cringed at the way she said his name.

"Table for two by a window"

She looked up at him then at Jou who stood slightly behind him and smiled that bubbly smile that Kaiba loved to hate.

"Right this way"

The walk to their table wasn't far at all. It was only a couple tables down from the entrance of where they were standing. They took their seats across from each other.

"May I get you guys something to drink?"

"Coffee" the brunette said curtly as he looked through the menu.

"I'll just have water" the blond said briefly looking at the waitress and returning his eyes back to the window.

The brunette stared at his foe across from him. He was definitely acting different today, and he couldn't understand why.

"This place is nice" the blond said more to himself than to the brunette.

Kaiba only nodded.

"There's a building down the road that use to be the orphanage my brother and I stayed at"

Chestnut eyes stared at Kaiba. His face was expressionless. He talks like it's the easiest thing to do. Especially about something personal likes that.

"Oh…"

The brunette stared at the blond and was about to say something but seeing at the all too bubbly waitress was coming there way, he decided to hold off till later.

"Here are your guys' drinks" she said enthusiastically as she placed the coffee mug in front of the CEO and the glass of water in front of the blond.

"Are you guys ready to order?"

"Salad, French dressing"

"Alright, and for you?" she said looking at the blond who still stared out the window

"Do you have burgers?"

"We sure do"

"Give me one of those, medium rare…with cheese" Kaiba saw that he was more demanding also. Something was wrong.

"Right away" she smiled when she asked for the orders, she smiled when she took the menus and she smiled when she trotted away towards the kitchen. Gods, she was annoying.

"She's really annoying" the blond finally said after what seemed like a century of silence and the brunette simply nodded once more. He wanted to ask what was wrong with the blond so badly, but it was so out of his nature to just ask someone how they feel. He never did it in public to anyone besides his brother.

He decided to stare out the window that the blond seemed so interested in. all he saw were trees, a couple holding hands walking down the road, and hardly any cars besides his own. There was nothing to be interested in.

However, the blond just kept staring at nothing in particular but at everything at the same time. He hated that the blond wasn't talking, and he hated that the blond was more interested in what was out the window than the person in front of him. He also hated that he was feeling this way. This project was getting to him. He couldn't wait till these 2 months were over and things could go back to the way they were.

Where the CEO hated the dirty mutt and vice versa.

"Here are your orders guys" the waitress said as she started to set the plates at the designated costumers. Neither of them must have noticed she was there because they both seemed slightly startled at the sudden bubbly voice speaking to them.

"Thanks" the blond smiled brightly at the waitress as she left. The brunette was intrigued at the sudden change in attitude from the blond. Just a second ago, he looked like the world was going to end, and now he looks like everything's right.

Kaiba stared at Jou intently as he started to eat. He could see the blond didn't lose his appetite, nor did he gain any manners. He guessed Jou was back…for now.

They ate and made small talk for about an hour. They were both surprised that they hadn't killed each other by now. Kaiba talked about his corporation while Jou talked about his sister and how much he hated school. The brunette had to admit, he slightly enjoyed Jou's company, not that he would ever tell anyone that.

Kaiba stood up as Jou did the same almost simultaneously. On their way out, Kaiba paid the bill, and in return Jou held the door open him, which was a huge step from tripping him on the way out.

They must've not noticed that it was raining because as soon as they stepped outside they were almost completely soaked. The brunette took out an umbrella from god knows where and handed it to Jou.

The blond didn't accept it however, he just handed it back to Kaiba.

"It's ok, I enjoy the rain"

"Well with what your wearing, your bound to get sick" Kaiba's voice coming out more concerned than intended.

"Eh, I've been worse" The blond didn't have much meaning behind his statement, but the brunette felt slightly sympathetic though it wasn't shown.

Though Kaiba was next to Jou, he was walking slightly behind him, giving him a better look at him. Because of the rain, Jou's tank top was completely soaked and completely sees through. He might as well go out topless. He was well built, not boldly muscular, but far from scrawny. His hair seemed darker now that it was wet. It stuck to the back of his neck and was much longer. Kaiba made a mental note to bring him to get his hair cut.

The walk to Kaiba's car wasn't long at all; therefore Kaiba couldn't get a great look at all of Jou's features. No matter, he would get to it eventually.

As they got into the car, Kaiba noticed that Jou didn't talk at all for the entire walk. This was it; the brunette had to ask what was wrong.

"Is there something the matter" Jou didn't seem surprised at all by the question and replied with a simple statement.

"I love the rain"

-------------------------------

Ta-da! And we reach the end of chapter three. I'd love to hear some feedback, because I personally this was one of my not so good chapters. I apologize for the 3-4 month wait. Like I said, it's all work and no play. I'm actually suppose to be doing dishes right now, but I love you guys so much and the last thing I need is a angry mob outside my house.

Now to reward myself, I shall go and listen to cure for the itch by linkin park because it does well for the soul.

Ciao.
