Jounouchi sighed as he woke up that morning, deliberately taking his precious time, when he first arose.

He stretched and yawned, like he would every other morning and flopped back on the bed, Jou particularly didn't feel like going to school today, it was one of those days for him, sure he was wide awake, but he didn't feel like getting up at all.

Jou felt so lazy, fiddling with the sheets, he sighed once more, got up and opened the window, just overseeing the Sakura trees, it was especially beautiful for him, considering a gust of wind was blowing outside, he sat on the window sill and just stared outside (even though it was cold).

Today was different for the blond man he felt it in his veins. 'This day is already going badly as yesterday'.

Jounouchi woke-up early, sure he felt so lazy, which led to him being late for school, but he didn't care (for some reason Jounouchi felt so alive this morning, that he didn't care for anybody's reasoning or nonsense).

Katsuya slowly rose from his precious spot and went to take a shower and other normal morning routines. The apartment was quiet, maybe too quiet.

Jou's head peeked into the kitchen, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, there wasn't any food cooking on the stove, so he went in, buttoning up his Jacket, Jou was so confused Kazuya wasn't there, he checked the extra room and saw that everything had been cleaned up, but still no Kazuya. He sighed, went into his room, grabbed his backpack and was about to open the door when, a microphone was shoved in his face, he blinked repeatedly before something in his head clicked.

"Mr. Jounouchi, what would you say is the relationship between you and Mr. Kaiba?" a reporter asked looking at Jounouchi with pleading eyes for him to answer the question.

Jou was so confused so he closed the door; his first thought was to escape, but then again these people are paparazzi's, they will never go away Jou thought, slightly panicking. He closed his eyes, and calmed him self-down, Jou grabbed his backpack, since he was on the third floor, and he had a possible way to escape: the stairs.

The blond teen jumped three- four steps at a time, hoping that reporters would not crowd over the door. His prayers were answered, and there was no one there, he cooled of a little bit and rested his head against the cool brick wall.

Jou was about to start jogging to school when, someone grabbed by the shoulder and threw him into a leather interior, and to Jou the only other person that had a leather interior was Kaiba. He groaned and knocked his head against the roof, not being used to a limousine.

"Mutt, stop doing that, this is not a good time for a concussion when I drop you off, you can gladly have one," Kaiba snapped.

Jou eventually stopped hitting his head, and rubbed at the sore spot, looking around the limo. He did not respond, not until two big onyx eyes, came into his view he yelped and scooted back into the seat, terrified.

Mokuba chuckled at Jou's reaction, totally expecting it. "Mokuba please don't do that again," Jou said holding a palm over his chest.

Mokie shrugged "sorry couldn't help it" he grinned.

Jou looked at Kaiba's smirking face, and frowned "so what's going on anyway? What's with the stupid reporters?"

"Well...if you hadn't been such a fool yesterday...this wouldn't have happened?" Kaiba sneered

"What do you mean? It was not me Kaiba! But of course you wouldn't listen to any of my reasoning" Jou snapped

"If you haven't gotten this into your head yet, I have a billion dollar company, mutt, and any bad thing that happens to me, like that meaningless fight, I wouldn't be in this position right now!" it seemed that Kaiba was getting out of control, but the only Jou cared about was getting his point across.

"Well, news Kaiba! It wasn't me! I didn't do it for your info! Can't you think of anything other than yourself for once in your lonely little life?" Jounouchi had lost it; he wouldn't take any more shit from so-called Seto Kaiba.

Kaiba was shocked to the core; the mutt actually had good comebacks. If there going to play this game, he should play it until he comes out victorious, because Seto Kaiba never loses!

Kaiba smirked and that scared both Mokuba and Jou, "Well if my life is so pathetic mutt, why the hell do I live with riches and you live in this scum of an apartment"

After that hurtful comment, Jou closed and opened his mouth, acting like a fish in water. He turned his head away, faced the window, and said nothing until they reached school.

Mokuba was just looking back and forth during the whole ordeal, not daring himself to break it up, he will probably end up being punched or something, but what really bothered him was what his big brother just said, it looked like it hurt Jounouchi very much so, he would have a little talk with his brother after school.

Jou stared up at the school building, and sighed; he really did not want to be here right now, so he turned his back and headed for the park, not thinking of his actions just his destination, his feet automatically carrying him.

Jou sat down, his beautiful brown eyes, clouding over with pain. Oh god that really hurt he thought. He felt like his heart was clenching into a tight fist, the pain was unbearable.

Copper eyes, looked at the graying skies, wishing if there was just someone out there that would understand him, care for him, know him inside and out, know him more than he knew himself, just to have someone to love. Was he asking for too much?

But then again, someone can stab you in the back, no one in this world he believed can love you until death, because nobody chooses to die just because of another human, it's just improbable, nobody has the ears to listen to your problems, without being sick of the constant whining and moaning of the pain in one's heart. Nobody.

Therefore, Jou cried silent tears. 'Why can't anybody love me?...am I that un-lovable?' Jou knows what it's like not to be loved, and ignored. His father, for an example, since that divorce that separated his once loving family, his father ignored him, didn't do anything to him, didn't give him any support for anything, just acted from day-to-day that he didn't exist.

If his father was going to ignore him, he would do him a favor and cut his connections thoroughly with him. Since, Jou was 18, he was allowed to live alone, and he was granted just that.

It was the last year of High school for him, the question is--what was he going to do with himself after this?

His notions were pursuing his art career, he loved to sketch and paint & Draw, but then again how was he going to pay for art school?

He was fired from his last job, before Kazuya entered his life. He was yet to find another, and one that pays a good salary.

There weren't many, very few actually and all high class jobs, and Jou considered himself, very low class, considering Kaiba reminds him of

That fact every day...

Jou wiped the tears from his eyes, and stayed on the swing, just thinking. Even though, it was going to rain very soon. Someone patted his back, and put a warm coat over him, he didn't even realize he was freezing.

Kazuya smiled sadly "I'm sorry for deserting you like that; I know this is the last thing you would want to know, and would be loved to be left alone, but..." Kazuya left it at that, turned Jounouchi in his arms, and hugged him, hard.

Jou for once actually let the restrained tears, flow down his face without any shame. He buried his mane of blond hair, into broad shoulders and wept, for the grief and his suffering.

Kazuya carried Jou out of the park, and into the back seat of his car. He smiled lightly, his car zooming of in the distance.

'You won't have to worry about that stupid jerk, I'll take care of him for you' he thought looking down an angelic face, slightly clouded with pain.
