Author's note: Hello everybody. I'm back again. Haha. Just to let you guys know I'm not dead yet. I'm so terribly sorry I had not updated this story for like six months already. It's been so busy! Exams, studies, and recently exams again… Dear Shiroi-chan, sorry! So here's chapter 3. Please enjoy reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character in the story.
~~~Last time~~~
" Hey you! What do you think you're doing?" Kaiba yelled as he raised his hand to point at Yami Malik who was happily clicking pictures on his camera to take any notice of what Kaiba was saying. Anyway, who cares? He only needs to get the photos, and then he can blackmail Kaiba and asked him for a big sum of money.
But apparently, Kaiba made the wrong move at the wrong time. Raising his hand caused him to be unbalanced, so he jerked a little, but that was all it needed for Jounouchi to lose his balance too. He wasn't the greatest gymnast in the world, so losing his balance isn't anything surprising.
Jounouchi gave a small yelp as he crashed hard into Kaiba and both of them fell back to the floor with a loud thud.
Everything went blank for a moment, but loud cheers could be heard. Kaiba didn't know why. He only knew that the stupid mutt pushed him back hard and fell on him. But that wasn't the end, because right in front of him, Jounouchi's face was pale with horror, his eyes wide opened and his lips were pressed tightly to Kaiba's lips…
~~~Present Time~~~
Kaiba's eyes bulged open to the size of saucers as he stared blankly into Jounouchi's face, his mind momentarily blanked out.
" I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY ACTUALLY KISSED EACH OTHER WITHOUT ME FORCING THEM! LOOKS LIKE THEY REALLY ARE A-" Yami Bakura cackled but was smacked hard on the head by Ryou.
It took moments for the both of them to register what had happened when Kaiba suddenly jumped up from Jounouchi, rushing to the sink in the kitchen in the game shop, frantically turning the tap on, letting water gush out from it, while he tried to wash his mouth, choking in the process of it.
Jounouchi who had finally managed to gather up himself ran all the way up to the second floor of the game shop right into the bathroom.
" Yuugi! Where's your mouth rinse? I need it NOW! At this instance!" came Jounouchi's strangled cry from above as Yami Yuugi started muttering to Yami Bakura on something about water bills.
So now, while Kaiba was busying himself in the kitchen, rinsing his mouth with water, cursing and swearing in every minute, Jounouchi was in the bathroom using toothpastes, mouth rinse and everything he could fins to cleanse his mouth.
Both of them can't believe what awful day they had! Why had they actually agreed on playing this game? Now their reputation had gone to mud…
After the mouth-cleansing frenzy, Kaiba and Jounouchi were back in the living room; glaring daggers at each other, both had the intention to strangle the opposite.
" Now, now. Don't give such a scary look. Just try to get along won't you? You see, even the Pharaoh and the Tomb Robber had gotten along so well, why won't you two do the same?" Malik asked, trying to lighten the dark atmosphere set in the living room by Kaiba and Jounouchi.
Unable to control himself, Jounouchi, pointed an accusing finger at Kaiba and blurted, " That idiot stolen my firs-"
Realizing what he said, Jounouchi immediately covered his mouth, eyes as wide as saucers, wishing there would be a hole for him to bury himself. His face was changing from a light pink to a deep shade of maroon while his golden bangs fell in front, covering his eyes.
" Sorry, I didn't catch what you had said. You mean that's your first kiss?" Yami Malik pressed on, eager to know.
" I'm so out of here! I just can't imagine I'm wasting my time here with a bunch of idiots! I'm going now!" Kaiba yelled as he grabbed his school bag and rushed towards the door.
" Don't tell me it's also your first time!" Yami Yuugi shouted from behind, causing Kaiba to turn back, gesticulate rudely, opened the door and slammed it hard.
" Poor door," Ryou sad softly, then smiled at Yuugi.
" I guess we call it a day. Happy Valentine's!" Yuugi said cheerfully as Malik and Yami Malik made their way out of the game shop, still relating to each other about the spectacular scene they've just saw.
Behind Yuugi, Jounouchi stormed towards the Tomb Keepers.
" Yo Jounouchi. Wanna walk out with us?" Malik asked kindly, slightly pitying him being tricked.
Jounouchi flashed his brightest smile before he snatched the camera from Yami Malik who was viewing the photos he had taken.
" This thing's existence is going to be wiped off!" Jounouchi said as he flung the camera towards the opened door of the Game Shop to the road.
For a moment, everybody froze, not knowing what was going on. After a few moments, Yami Malik came back to his senses as he rushed towards the road, but was held back by Jounouchi.
" NO! I won't let you get to that accursed camera!" Jounouchi yelled as he gritted his teeth. Yami Malik sure is strong…
" Let go! I'll be dead if I don't get it back! Malik will-"
"Vroom, Vroom, VROOM"
Both Yami Malik and Jounouchi could only stare at the car that appeared at the corner of the road, zooming towards where the camera was in front of them.
" NO!!!!"
A horrible crunch was heard as the car speeded across the road, bringing the camera between its wheels. After seconds, the remains of the camera were just some scrap metals lying on the road.
The most horrible cry came out from Yami Malik as he rushed towards the road and gathered the 'camera' in his hands, looking horrified.
Jounouchi, knowing that he had gone overboard this time turned to Malik who was too shocked for words.
In his mind, thoughts were swirling around. That camera was Isis's. What could he tell his sister about it? She's going to kill him for sure…
" Malik, I…I uh…am really sorry…I'll pay for it alright? How much was that?" Jounouchi asked, feeling guilty.
" No. Never mind I guess…" Malik said as he silently think of how to explain to Isis. Relief flooded in as he remembered that Isis would not be home for a long while. Returning to his old self, Malik gave his usual smile as he call out to Yami Malik who looked at him with a puzzled look.
" You mean you're not terrified on what would happen to you when your sister finds out?" Yami Malik asked.
" We have about two months to slowly rehearse on our crying scene when we tell her about it, yami. Now let's go play," Malik said as he pulled Yami Malik away, waving goodbye to Jounouchi, who stood with his mouth agape.
" He sure does have a weird personality," Jounouchi said to himself.
After saying goodbye to Yuugi, Jounouchi walked to the nearest bus stop to take a bus home. To his disgust, Kaiba was also waiting there.
" Ha. I can't believe the all mighty Seto Kaiba taking public transport. Must be terrible for you when your Limo break down huh?" Jounouchi mocked as he looked up from his lap and saw him.
The bus stop was quite empty. In fact, there's only Jounouchi and Kaiba there alone. Taking note of this, Jounouchi had the slightest thoughts of walking to the next bus stop instead of staying here with Kaiba, but that would mean he was scared of Kaiba! He won't let that pompous CEO to even think that he's the superior one.
" Got a problem with it? I'm quite surprised you can even afford to take a bus! Why, did you dig out every single cents from your piggybank to just take a bus?" Kaiba retorted, not showing mercy.
" What are you implying?" Jounouchi hissed angrily, feeling insulted as he raised his fist. So this brat here thinks he's so poor that he can't take a bus?
" Oh look. The crazy mutt is agitated. I guess I should call the animal control officer to pull you back to your rightful place before you start biting people," Kaiba replied calmly, enjoying the blush on Jounouchi's face that made him look so cu- oh wait. What did he think of? He MOST certainly did not think of that!
For one moment, Kaiba shifted his gaze from Jounouchi to the road, slapping himself mentally for showing uncertainty in front of that mutt.
" Why, why. Got afraid to even stare into my eyes?" Jounouchi pressed on, thinking that he had the upper hand.
Kaiba suddenly stood up and gave a cold smirk, " No. Just in case your animal sense haven't tell you, the bus is here."
" What's wrong with that guy?" Jounouchi thought to himself. He's always picking on him, and it's NOT fair.
Sulking, Jounouchi got behind Kaiba, waiting to board the bus. Just when he stepped onto the bus step, Kaiba, who was in front of him suddenly retreated and stepped hard on his foot.
" AW! You idiot! You better apologize!" Jounouchi roared, kicking Kaiba on the shin that made him growl in anger.
" In case you hadn't notice, there's a pregnant lady who's trying to get down the bus," Kaiba hissed as he returned the kick to Jounouchi who yelped in pain again.
After the lady had gotten down the bus, Kaiba paid for his fare and went straight to the end of the bus and grabbed on the pole while he stand there.
Jounouchi gave a snort as he looked around for places to sit. Unfortunately, all seats were occupied. Frustrated, he stood at the most front of the bus, refusing to go to the back.
The bus drove for about ten minutes before it reached the next stop. At this bus stop, it was so crowded that once the doors opened, people rushed in.
" Hey young man, move to the rear. There are people coming up this bus!" an old man said as he pushed Jounouchi to the back.
" Hey you! You move to the rear yourself!" Jounouchi protested while the bus started moving again, but was pushed roughly towards the rear, towards Kaiba.
Kaiba smirked when Jounouchi was pushed towards him.
" Seems like you're as useless as I thought. I can't believe you'd be weaker than an old man," Kaiba said, sarcasm dripping from every word he said.
" Why you-"
The bus suddenly jerked to a stop, and Jounouchi fell forward. He expected to fall on the old man and earn a string of curses and swears from him, but that never came. Instead, he felt an arm holding his tightly. He looked up as he saw Kaiba grabbing him.
" What are you doing?" Jounouchi asked, not even muttering a word of thanks.
" Well, I guess you didn't need help then, seeing that you can still bother to ask stupid questions," Kaiba replied and let go of Jounouchi. He didn't know why he did that though. Must be natural reflexes, he thought.
For the rest of the bus ride, more and more people went up the bus while nobody got down, thus squeezing Jounouchi with Kaiba together. Though Jounouchi hated to admit, Kaiba smells nice and his body felt soft. He leaned in closer as the old man in front of him struggled to sit down on the seat that a kind soul had finally decided to abandon.
" Hey mutt. Now what do you think you're doing? You're practically all over me," Kaiba hissed under his breath so that only Jounouchi can hear it.
Realizing what was happening, Jounouchi frantically got away from Kaiba, only that the bus just have to give a sudden stop again. Losing his balance, Jounouchi grabbed anything he could see. And the thing right in front was a blue jacket.
He grabbed it as he fell, back facing the person in front while he faced Kaiba, hoping that it could at least stop him from falling. But as if Lady Luck hated him so much, the blue jacket that he was holding was actually Kaiba's jacket.
Caught by surprise, Kaiba too fell face forward.
And to add on with it, it seemed like the cupids really love Kaiba coupling Jounouchi up together, because once again, their lips were met tightly together…
Author's note: So another chapter done. I hope readers will really forgive me for not updating so long, that's why I made this chapter longer. Heh heh. So two kisses in a day for dear Kaiba and Jounouchi. How else to create love for them? Please review!
P.S: Once again, I must say, I'll try really hard to update again.
