Author's Note: Ahh! Only one chapter left, *sniff*. Okay, let's see. I had to rewrite this, it sucked at first, but now i'm more satisfied with it. Too bad it matters what you think and not me, so yeah. I thought this chapter was pretty interesting. Over 2,000 words without the A/N. whoo :) I tried to make Kaiba less OOC in this chapter,but it's getting harder for me. Jou's POV the whole time. Keep up with the pairing suggestions please ^_^. And Review, please :D

Enjoy. Thanks to all my reviewers, people who added me to their alerts, and all my readers! Y'all are great! :3

The Glitch in The Truce

I yawned, and rolled over. I must have gotten nine or ten hours of sleep, because I was full of energy. I looked at the clock. Only Six-thirty in the morning? No way. My dad wasn't even awake yet. I peered outside my window, and saw that it wasn't too dark. Perfect timing for a walk. I like going on walks to clear my mind.

I pulled on a hoodie, and went out the door. I began walking. I looked down to turn on my iPod, but then-ow. I had run into something. I looked up, wondering what the hell was in my driveway. I was shocked. When I first saw the car in the driveway, I shrugged it off as my dad's girlfriend's car. But my dad doesn't have a girlfriend, so I took another look at the beauty. It was his car. Seto fucking Kaiba's car was in my driveway. But why?

Then something small and white caught my eye. A card. I opened it rapidly, and read those words at least 50 times.

She's all yours,

From a Friend.

Seto Kaiba? My friend. Seto Kaiba is my friend. It sounds so nice, for once to be able to say that without the word 'not' between 'is' and 'my'. I was still shocked. I hardly expected him to give me his friendship, much less a car. Wow, he was one amazing friend. But, how could I thank him? Well, Kaiba, as always was one step ahead of me. My phone vibrated. I touched the screen.

1 New Text Message(s). View Now?

I tapped 'yes' and wondered who could be texting me this early in the morning. I smiled when I saw the sender. It was Kaiba. For some reason, I felt excited, like a little kid on Christmas. Over a text. What the fuck was wrong with me. I read the text.

Jou,

You're probably still asleep, but anyway, when you get this, and after you go outside, you can read the rest.

For once, Kaiba was wrong. I was awake. I made a mental note to tease him about this later. I laughed, imagining his bossy voice. And for once, I kind of missed that bossiness. Weird. Since I had already gone outside, I touched the scrollbar and moved it down to see the rest of the text.

You better have liked the car! It was my absolute favorite. Anyway, since I know you're wondering how you can thank me, just come over to my house today at noon. You don't even have to walk, how nice am I? I'm sure it won't be too hard to find, you know, big fancy mansion, huge iron gates with KC on the front. See you.

I rolled my eyes, he was so conceited. I went inside to go back to sleep for a while. At 11:00, I woke up, took my shower, and threw on some clothes. My dad was still asleep, so I left him a note, telling him I went to go see my friend Seto. For some reason, his name didn't seem right just next to friend. It needed more. Hmm.

I got into the car, and drove to Kaiba's house, getting there at noon exactly. Mokuba told me that he was upstairs, in his room. I jogged up the spiraling stairs. Kaiba's mansion was beautiful. I stared in amazement at how many doors there were. Luckily, Kaiba's was adorned with a Blue Eyes. Engraved in the dragon was 'Seto'. The door was slightly open, so I peeked in.

He was staring up at the ceiling, his phone in one hand. I opened the door a bit further, and squeezed myself into his room. He didn't notice my entrance, even though I thought I had been unnaturally loud. I decided to go against the boring clearing of the throat, and I snuck over to his bed and pounced on him. His expression was priceless, and I whined when he pushed me off of him. I have to admit, I had kind of enjoyed it. That sounds so wrong. But anyway, he pushed me so hard I almost fell off the bed completely. I sulked, but gasped in surprise when he pulled me closer to him. "Jerk," I murmured softly.

His arms stayed around me, and he turned back towards the ceiling. He stayed like that for a while, until he suddenly turned towards me. "What's it like to have a best friend?" he asked sincerely.

"It's kind of hard to explain," I answered truthfully. "You can't really put it into words," Then I saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "But, I could show you," I added.

"That's what I thought," he smirked.

"You are such a bastard, sometimes, Set-" Oh, great. I cringed, not knowing how he would react. Not many people called him Seto.

"But, you like it Katsuya." He teased. Big sigh of relief. I blushed. "Katsuya, since we're best friends now, I get you all to myself, right?" I hesitated. That did sound pretty nice. Just us. "I'm kidding," he told me. "I'm not that selfish, but I do expect most of your attention," he added, as I rolled my eyes.

And of course, he got it. Seto Kaiba always gets what he wants. However, my other best friends weren't happy about it, at all. The next week in class, Honda and Anzu ignored me. Yugi still talked to me, but he wasn't as cheerful as usual. By Friday, I knew talking to them about it was the only solution. I asked them to stay after school for a few minutes. So, as everyone else rushed out, we stayed behind. Before he left, Seto knelt next to me. "Call me later Katsuya." It was more of a demand than anything, but oh well, that was Kaiba.

As soon as the door shut after him, Honda exploded. "Katsuya? What the fuck, man? We're not even on a first name basis, and you are with that bastard!"

Yugi took it as his time to step in. "Jou, what Honda is, more or less trying to say is that you're not spending any time with us, and Kaiba gets all your attention,"

"So you ignore me?" I asked, angrily, not really to Yugi.

Anzu calmly answered, "Well, Jounouchi, we are your best friends. I mean, sure we were happy that you two made a truce and everything, but we were hardly expecting you to make something out of it, much less keep it."

"Oh, so you don't want me to have other friends? You're just jealous!" I accused, storming out. I didn't expect for the truce to cause any problems, but they were being so immature about it. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. I called Kaiba, my voice shaking.

"Hello?"

"S-set-o?"

"What the hell Katsuya, are you crying? Get over here, now."

I assumed that was his way of sounding worried. I drove over to his house. He dragged me up to his room. We were laying down facing each other, while I explained everything to him.

"I'll kick their asses," he stated as he wiped my tears. "No one makes my best friend sad, because then I'm sad. And I hate being sad." I smiled slightly. He always had to make things about himself. Then, he decided that watching a movie would cheer me up. Too bad the only movies he had were horror, which wasn't exactly my favorite genre.

He found this out when I jumped up during one of the scarier scenes. I think I almost broke his nose. I apologized at least ten times, but then he told me to shut up. As the next gory scene began, I whimpered. His arms encircled me and pulled me back towards his chest. One of his arms remained, while the other stroked my hair. I knew he didn't think anything of it when he mumbled gently into my hair, "Just like Mokuba."

'Except Mokuba doesn't like you like this.' I thought.

--

The next thing I knew, I was waking up. I was still in his bed. I flipped around to see if he was still there. His beautiful sapphires stared at me. "You fell asleep, so I told your dad you were sleeping over. And so, he invited me to sleep over at your house tonight." Kaiba smirked.

"Shit!" I exclaimed. "I gotta go clean my room then!" He laughed as I sprinted to my car. After I cleaned my room, I began looking on the internet. There was an article I saw once, and now I really needed it. f Bingo, I found it. I looked it over, nervously. I heard my father call me. He said that he was going out, and that he'd left money for pizza on the counter. I went back into my room. I still had another half of an hour before Kaiba would be coming.

My phone brightened. I had gotten a text.

Get on IM Please.

-Yugi

I closed the text. For a while, I contemplated what to do. Did they deserve a second chance? I mean they had been pretty harsh towards me. But, then again, they were friends with me before Kaiba. So, I decided to see what they wanted. Then, I moved over to the computer. Leaving the article up, I signed onto my instant messenger. Yugi, Anzu, and Honda were all on. I sighed, knowing that this was planned.

' Chat Invitation for katsuyaj : Yugim invites you to chatroom 108596532'

I accepted his invitation, dreading what would come up next. I looked at the clock at the bottom of the screen. Just fifteen minutes until Seto would be here. I was beyond nervous, for more reasons than one.

YugiM: Jou, we're all sorry.

HirotoH: Yeah… We didn't mean to be jealous, man.

AnzuM:What we're saying is, we're happy that you and Kaiba are friends, and we want to be your friends again ^_^

KatsuyaJ: You guys were right, I'm sorry, I didn't expect for the truce to last either

KatsuyaJ: I sure as hell didn't expect for it to go this far.

KatsuyaJ: But I didn't think that there would be a glitch in the truce either.

YugiM: Truce?

KatsuyaJ: LOL.

Just then, my doorbell rang. Kaiba. I shuddered.

KatsuyaJ: K.G2G.

YugiM: bye.

AnzuM: Bye! ^_^

HirotoH: See ya, J.

I minimized the IM quickly, I would sign off later. I went to the door. Kaiba looked stunning as always. "Hey," I greeted him.

He gave me a dazzling smile and looked around curiously as I let him inside. He nodded his approval at my house, then looked at me. "Where's your room?"

"In a rush to get to the bed are you?" I joked.

He grinned devilishly. "It's over here," I pointed. I opened the door for him, and he jumped on my bed.

"It's soft," He commented. "Not as nice as mine though," I gently hit him on the head. He grabbed my wrists, and pulled me towards him. We locked eyes and then-

Beep.

My instant messenger blinked orange at the bottom of the task bar, alerting me about someone signing off or being away. Something like that. But, my dumbass had left the article up. Seto hadn't noticed it yet, so I jumped up and stood protectively in front of the screen. Great, I had attracted Kaiba's attention, and now I couldn't close it without the chance of Kaiba seeing the article. "Katsuya, what is it?" Seto demanded.

"It's n-nothing," I stammered.

"Katsuya. Move." I stayed firmly in place. If he saw the article, that would be the death of me. "Jou, it cannot be that bad. Just move." I wouldn't. I couldn't.

He got up from my bed and picked me up, tossing me gently on my bed. Then he turned, and concentrated his eyes on the screen. I cringed as his eyes moved over the title.
