Eight
Jounouchi decided to not head to Tragic for about the third night hoping Kaiba would give up coming there. He almost had an urge to hit other places but wasn't in the mood. He would rather practice at home. His father had returned that afternoon with a fiery temper and decided to make a mess of things before heading out again. Obviously the man had found him an interest. Most likely a hostess at a bar or somewhat. Maybe a brothel. It varied. It only meant that soon his dad would be bringing in a woman into the house.
The blonde sighed and rolled over on his bed rather tired from cleaning his father's messes. He wanted to leave. He would want to even more when his dad brought who the hell ever into the house…
Jounouchi didn't have anywhere to go though. He was stuck. Not even his mother wanted him… Nobody did… Tears brimmed his eyes at the thought of rejection and knew he was being childish. He did want to feel wanted though. It would be a nice feeling.
He hated being trapped. The male wanted to go out. He wanted to party and have fun and know when he went home he'd be safe… He wanted to be successful so he could prove everyone who put him down wrong. Most of all, he wanted to see his sister recover and be proud of him.
"Aw fuck…" murmured Jounouchi wiping the tears away from his eyes. Boys didn't cry. That's what he had always been told but he often did it anyway. It was hard not to. His chest would hurt and he would be unable to breathe and he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Words hit him sudden making him double up…
"Says the mangy mutt with bruises and scars-with nothing but a collar and no tag to show how abandoned and lost he really is…"
Jounouchi glared at the bracelet locked around his wrist before sighing. He really wanted to stop thinking about him too while he was at it.
He was fed up. He was leaving for there. Now. Fuck Kaiba. He was sick over obsessing over something horribly ridiculous and Kaiba was right. It was his stage and would remain his stage. He smirked before getting ready to get dressed in his usual club attire.
_-_-_-_-_
Kaiba was once again waiting at Tragic. This was the third night that the boy had chosen to not arrive. He boredly looked at his cell phone, ready to leave when he heard a couple people in the distance exclaim some unfathomable words that he had only imagined hearing for days now.
Kaiba only caught a couple segments of dialogue, and all he needed to hear was, "He's here." He grinned. Finally…some amusement.
Katsuya Jounouchi was fully attired into some insanely sexy clothing. He wore a dark black tank top that showed of all of his stomach and some abdomen and dark blue dress shirt was over it to tease a little. His extensions this time were a lot longer than usual and were black this time to mix with blonde hair… He was wearing some older looking shoes and some dark blue and black patched up jeans.
If it were anyone else, Kaiba would have scoffed and called them a street rat. But this was Jounouchi and it was what made even his clothing and even his habits and movements so appealing.
A couple of girls excitedly clung onto Jounouchi's arms as he led them to the dance floor. They danced all around him as if he were the prince of the place. It amused Kaiba and yet he found himself quite jealous to see Jounouchi happy with some desperate girls.
Jounouchi eyes finally darted across the club and pierced Kaiba's own dark blue orbs. He grinned before disappearing deeper into the crowd, two women on both of his arms as he disappeared.
Kaiba rolled his eyes before moving away from the bar to follow. The blonde was having way too much and it was time to show him who was boss…
He grabbed him midway into him throwing his arms up and the girls were looking quite shocked and in awe at who had just appeared before backing away to dance with some others.
"I thought you would have learned you place by now," Kaiba announced.
Jounouchi glared at him, "Your place isn't here. Back off."
"I have the freedom to go and do whatever I please," Kaiba said.
"What the hell do you want?" Jounouchi asked.
"You," Kaiba teased before pulling Jounouchi closer to him. He felt Jounouchi shudder under him and he was thrilled. He loved seeing the smaller male realize just who was the one in power.
"You're full of it," whispered Jounouchi. He felt as if he were drowning. He needed to get away and quick…
"Oh?" Kaiba questioned before fingering at Jounouchi's bracelet.
"Where's the damn key?" asked Jounouchi.
Kaiba smirked before taking it out of his shirt, "Maybe if you're good I'll think about freeing you."
"Fuck you," Jounouchi hissed.
"You know, that's getting rather old, and as much as it sounds appealing, I have better things to fuck with," Kaiba said.
"Like you've even gotten any," snapped Jounouchi before trying to pry away.
"Oh? Might I remind you of your services to me a couple of nights ago?" Kaiba murmured into his ear before nipping at it.
"I didn't," Jounouchi protested shivering at the feel of Kaiba's teeth only quickly piercing at his ear.
"How would you know?" Kaiba asked.
"I-I just do. I know you're bullshitting," said Jounouchi.
Kaiba chuckled, "What if I told you I have proof?"
Jounouchi finally managed to shove away before glaring at him, "You don't…"
"I do," Kaiba assured.
"Seto Kaiba, you're a horrible liar," said Jounouchi before walking away. He exited the building and made his way down the staircase outside to before finding two arms encircling him.
"You want your proof right?" the taller male drawled before flipping open his phone.
Jounouchi paled at what he saw and didn't know whether to hit Kaiba or be entranced at what he saw… Why? Why the fuck did he service Seto Kaiba?! Was he an idiot? Then again he was drunk out of his mind, but no matter-his subconscious should have fucking known better!
"One slip of a forwarded text message could pretty much do enough to ruin you ne?" Kaiba asked with a smirk.
Jounouchi threw his leg backwards hard right into Seto Kaiba's shin making the male double over and release him.
"You're low. You're really fucking low Seto Kaiba. Not only that but a fag. You let out that I did that and I'll let out who allowed it and who recorded to everyone," he hissed before darting away as fast as he could. He felt the cold night air sting at his eye-lined eyes and barely covered skin, and he hoped Kaiba wouldn't dare follow him for the third fucking time.
He was sick of Kaiba following him. Jounouchi felt sickened in general. He couldn't believe any of it. He finally felt his legs give out and tears sting his eyes as he collapsed on a park bench and cried. He felt incredibly weak and helpless at his point and hated himself. He really really hated himself. How could have he been so stupid and dense to challenge Seto Kaiba?
Kaiba was always one step ahead of him. No matter how hard Jounouchi tried, he always lost. It was like fate. Someone up there hated him horribly. If it were possible, he would have given lady luck the middle finger.
Jounouchi hated it. Absolutely hated it all, his fucked up home life, the fact that he couldn't make it on his own, and this stupid Tiffany's bracelet locked on his arm, the Shizuka deal, his mother's illogical rules, and most of all Seto Kaiba and his dumbass logic!
He took out his phone scanning over the text messages he had received. No word from his sister. The only texts that remained other than that was a message from Yugi asking if he was stopping by the game shop any time soon and the invite from Kaiba…
Suddenly, an idea hit Jounouchi hard. It was perfect. He would need extreme help from a certain person but he knew where to seek the assistance. He could see his sister and get some serious revenge in the same night. Jounouchi smiled. It would mainly to be seeing Shizuka off at Narita Airport but a perk or two wouldn't be too bad.
His mood had changed drastically but he knew had to look forward to Saturday.
-_-_-_-_-_-
Seto Kaiba had unwillingly given up on Jounouchi Katsuya that night. His body trembled knowing he had most definitely gone too far. He had scared him off and he once again felt like a jerk. He felt like a big fat jerk who didn't know how to control his pride issues. At this rate, he'd never gain Jounouchi back. He could apologize but it really wouldn't work.
'Yeah, I'm sorry that I technically raped you but I swear I'm in love with you…'
Kaiba could have laughed dryly at the whole deal. He felt his eyes sting as he got in his expensive Ferrari. Not all the money in the world or all the luxuries in existence could have lightened up his mood. He hated feeling rejected but knew it was his fault. His pride and his arrogance had gotten in his way of his love for the boy.
"Dammit," he spat before throwing his head back on the seat before placing the key into the ignition and revving up car before slamming on the gas and break. The only witness was a couple of gaijin* who were in awe of such a powerful car located in Roppongi Hills.
For the first time in a very long time, Seto Kaiba cried. He cried over a damn fool but felt like he was the fool himself as he raced down the Tokyo Expressway wanting to get away from Roppongi so he wouldn't have the time to mourn or ponder any longer.
Kaiba arrived home, parking the car in the expanse garage knowing he'd have to get over himself. His brother was awake watching a movie when he stepped in. The younger raven haired male looked confused.
"Onii-sama, you look weird," he pointed out.
Kaiba whirled around wiping his eyes from any tears threatening to fall but the movements completely betrayed him and he felt like everything that he had attempted to compose had fallen within only a few hours.
"I'm fine," Kaiba assured trying to keep his voice steady, "You have school tomorrow. Go to bed."
And with that he headed up stairs to his own quarters only to ponder about a blonde puppy for the rest of the night….
_-_-_-_-_-_
Jounouchi decided to skip that day, knowing that tomorrow was worth skipping for. With his dad out of the area most likely, teachers would not get an answer at his apartment door. The blonde haired male decided to hit Shibuya where a couple of stores were. He knew exactly where he could find who he was looking for.
Today Jounouchi tried to look like an everyday Shibuya kid. He placed some sunglasses over his eyes but had light blue contacts to show appeal to who he was trying to find. He wore some torn jeans and a light blue and black tank top with some arm warmers to hide that stupid bracelet. Around his neck were a couple of long shell necklaces and necklaces with rings on them as charms. Around his neck was a black and gray scarf. He completely blended in.
He spotted a group of girls with tans, high-liter colored hair, and heavy make-up to contrast with who they really were Para-Para-ing* in an alleyway. He approached quietly as they finished their routine before applauding.
"Ne, ne, have any of you happened to see Mai-chan?" he asked.
A couple of them giggled before the leader of the group approached, "She's probably shopping in 'Buya*. Most likely 109*, she just got paid."
"Ah, I see. I'll be sure to look. Thanks for your help ladies. Good luck with your practicing!" Jounouchi answered before waving cheerfully.
Most people thought of Gyaru* as rather crude people. That whole deal was slowly changing among Japanese society and he found the girls to be quite nice despite some of their bad habits. They were really good people despite some of their strange appearances.
He headed over to the silver cylinder-like structure which was labeled in bright red lettering 'Shibuya 109'. He had just seen the blonde haired woman that he was looking for right on her Keitai as she headed out with a group of girls similar to the ones he ran past earlier.
Mai was probably the most normal looking one in the group. She was definitely the 'Hime-Gyaru'* counter part to their community and quite popular amongst the girls in Shibuya. She was texting away no doubt to a huge community of people as he approached.
"Mai-chan," he announced in a sing song voice. A couple of the girls around him looked surprised and started to murmur, 'Ikemen…'*
"Uwa! Katsuya-kun, aren't you supposed to be in school like a good boy?' Mai exclaimed before flipping her phone shut and hugging him rather tightly.
"You're not fun Mai. No fun at all. Do you mind if we talk? I need a favor," Jounouchi said.
Mai nodded as her friend asked her, "Is he a gaijin?"
"Iie, ore wa NIHONJIN desu yo! Naze desu ka?" proclaimed Jounouchi. *
"Kinpa no Kaminoke…kore wa cho-kirei desu yo!" the Ganguro exclaimed excitedly. *
"It's natural too. I'm half somewhere in my blood," Jounouchi explained before Mai dragged him off as she bid goodbye to her friends telling them to mail her later via text.
"So what's up?" Mai asked with a grin.
"I need a huge favor from you Mai. Actually two because I know you can mess with locks. The other thing is because I know you have a huge collection of things and I need a loan and some help," explained Jounouchi.
"So what is it? We're being vague here and it's not cool at all!" Mai exclaimed.
"It has to do with seeing my sister and that bastard Seto Kaiba," admitted Jounouchi.
Mai looked surprised for a moment and then a lip-glossed smirk ran across her face, "Let's go to a café, if it's this type of thing then I have all day."
"I just knew I could count on you," said Jounouchi as they furthermore blended into the busy streets of Shibuya as a huge plan was ready to surface.
(A/N: Argh. Sorry for the slow ass update you all! I'm lacking inspiration lately. Rwar! I had THREE trips to San Fran since you all heard from me and I have a CON and another HUGE trip to Japan Town coming up in a couple of weeks, so I have to get some awesome cosplay together and an outfit for a huge event in J-Town so PLEEEEEAAASEEEE forgive me ne? If any of you are actually interested in my real life, I do have a livejournal and twitter under the same 'BluAyu' screen name so feel free to friend ne? ^_^
Jounouchi's getting evil. I'll hope you'll enjoy my awesome plot bunny of death. I caught it when I was in Kinokuniya (the Japanese bookstore *_*) and was looking at things like 'Egg' and ESPECIALLY 'Ageha' you'll see DEFINATE signs from 'Ageha' coming up in later chapters but I CAN'T tell you how! xP Jounouchi doesn't know what he's getting himself into though, I assure you. THIS MAI we're deal with here dammit! I hope you all enjoyed! More soon! ^_~
Notes:
*Gaijin: Basically meaning "foreigner" in Japanese. I could go ON AND ON about this word because some embrace it and laugh at being called it while some find it to be a very serious insult. But that's irrelevant to the story line. Why the Ganguro asked Jounouchi about being a Gaijin is because he has naturally blonde hair which is what Ganguro aim for.
*Para Para – It's like line dancing but very very cooler. If you're familiar with DDR and Eurobeat then this is somewhat up your lane. If you're familiar with things like 'Ike Ike' or 'Night of Fire' then THAT'S Para Para and it's VERY popular in Japan and is pretty popular around the area. Ganguro usually go and do competitive Para Para and it's a lot harder than it looks. Look it up on YOUTUBE if you don't get it!
*Gyaru- Another word for Ganguro. Ganguro are like Japanese Barbie doll wannabes. xD I find them EXTREMELY made up but on occasions they're very cute.
*Shibuya 109- This actually EXISTS. It's like a mall/huge outlet store for clothing. It's from what I hear very pretty inside though! The 'Buya 109 is Gyaru slang for the place and Shibuya in general is often referred to as 'Buya.
*Hime Gyaru: Like how Lolita have 'Princess Forms' so do 'Gyaru'
*Ikemen: Gyaru slang (I've heard it commonly used though!) for a very good looking guy.
*Iie, ore wa NIHONJIN desu yo! Naze desu ka?- No I'm JAPANESE! Why?
*Kinpa no Kaminoke…kore wa cho-kirei desu yo- You're bleached hair… That's very (really) beautiful! In this there's some 'Gyaru Slang' as well. 'Kinpa' (kin means gold or even yellow) is bleached and kaminoke (hair) and then "cho" is Gyaru for 'very' or 'really' in general Japanese you would say 'tottemo' but Gyaru have a shortened form being 'cho' like 'chotto' or the kanji for 'cho' meaning 'little'? XD Yeah. I know. Confusing.
Yeah, despite Ganguro being 'western' they use complicated Japanese slang and I thought it was appropriate to add the Japanese to give you guys a feel of the whole Gyaru culture. Plus it was a way to make up for my lack of updates. _; You can kill me later if you don't enjoy the notes.)
