Author's Note

This is information you need to know about my fanfiction. I am going by Japanese information. That means the school year is like the Japanese one. For those who don't know, a Japanese school year starts in April and then they have their first break around the end of July for summer. Then they come back in September and then they have another break for Christmas and stuff. Then in January they come back and school ends in late March. They also have White Day, which is the same as Valentine's Day except the guys give presents to the girls instead and the gift has to be ten times better than what they got for Valentine's Day.

Anyways, those who didn't see the change I made in the last chapter, I made it so they are now at the end of their second to last year of high school. I made this change because there is something I'm planning that takes a while and I want them to be in high school for it since who knows where they'll all move to when it's time for college. Anyways, enjoy this new chapter.

Chapter 3

When her eyes fluttered open, she saw amber eyes staring back at her, almost making her yelp in surprise. Jou chuckled, "I told you I was going to come back and get you. You can be so cute."

Kaiba pouted at his comment and punched him in the shoulder, "Would you just stop!"

Jou, "Fine, but only if I get to carry you like a princess all the way to Anzu's house."

"Oh god, I don't know which one's worse, but I will be surprised if you'll be able to keep your mouth shut the entire way to Anzu's house. It is pretty far away," Kaiba smirked at the thought.

Jou's grin got even wider, "Then it's settled." Jou picked her up in his arms and sped off, only stopping to retrieve their stuff, "Let's go!"

Jou ran and ran until they finally stopped in front of Anzu's house. He was panting, but he didn't look anywhere near fainting possibility. Kaiba was holding on to Jounouchi's shirt for what seemed like dear life. She climbed out of his arms, looking at Jou as if he was insane, "How the hell were you able to run all the way here from school while carrying someone! Are you sure you're human?"

Jou did his best at a chuckle, which was hard since he still hadn't caught his breath, "Well, I've done a lot better. I was just two seconds away from winning a duel against this guy named Marik after withstanding an attack from a god."

Jou smirked at her, thinking that she would be amazed at his strength and compliment him on it, but the brunette just laughed at him. His smirk turned into a face of confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

The blue eyed girl stopped laughing enough to be able to answer the blonde and smirk "You mean in that children's card game tournament," She decided to act as if she didn't care for duel monsters to make the blonde feel stupid, "The holograms may look real, but the pain is all in your head, you Bonkotsu."

Jou's brow furrowed and his mouth turned down into a frown, "Well, it wasn't a regular duel. Marik has spiritual powers and he was able to make the pain real so it felt as if I was struck by a true god!"

Anzu had come out of the house to see what all of the yelling was about. She looked from Jou to Kaiba, "What are you two doing?"

"Oh nothing, Anzu," Jou said, "I just walked Kairi home."

Kaiba scoffed, "More like you ran here while carrying me."

"Anyway," Jou said, not wanting Anzu's comment on his latest actions, "I'll see you guys tomorrow at school."

Jou waved and ran off in the direction of his house, leaving the two brunettes by themselves. Once Jou was out of their sight, Anzu started her ranting, "You've made friends with Jou? I'm so proud of you, Kaiba! Friendships are very important things to keep, you know."

Oh god, no wonder they say she's annoying, "We aren't friends. He's just an idiot who won't leave me alone."

"Let me guess. Jounouchi kissed you when you were in the nurse's office," Anzu smirked.

Kaiba's face turned red, "What are you talking about! I'd never kiss him."

"He was gone for half an hour. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the nurse's office and I doubt Jounouchi walked," Anzu explained, "And when he came back he had a red mark on his cheek the size of a hand. I guessed that he kissed you while you were off guard and slapped him afterwards. Unless he tried to take it farther than just a kiss, I don't see why you would slap him."

Kaiba sighed. There was no use hiding it now. She already knew about the kiss, "He didn't try anything other than a kiss. He just tried to get some tongue in on the action so I slapped him and told him off. Anyone would act the same way if it was their first kiss and they didn't feel the same way."

Anzu's eyes widened, "Jounouchi was your first kiss!"

Kaiba put her hand over Anzu's mouth, "Why don't you just announce it to the entire world?"

"Okay, but if you didn't even want to tell me then why would you want to tell the entire world," Anzu asked after Kaiba removed her hand from the other's mouth.

Kaiba slapped her hand over her face, "You're an even bigger idiot than Jounouchi is. I was being sarcastic."

"Oh," Anzu stuck her tongue out to one side of her mouth, "I guess I can be a bit air-headed sometimes."

Kaiba rolled her eyes, "Whatever, I'm going home. Mokuba is probably home by now."

Once Kaiba made it home she saw Mokuba in the living room with someone. She didn't know who since they were blocked from her sight because of a wall, "Hey Mokuba, I'm home."

Mokuba looked at her, panic written in his face. This made Kaiba worry about her younger brother. What was he so stressed over? When she saw who was with Mokuba her face went pale. Why was he here? His amber gaze turned over to Kaiba, "Is that you, Kaiba-boy?"

Kaiba dropped her bag on the floor. What the hell was Pegasus doing here! Pegasus stood up and looked the brunette over, "My, you've gotten so short! You look about 5 feet and 4 inches tall. And after Mokuba's growth spurt, he's taller than you!"

Mokuba began inching out of the room, "I'm gonna leave you two alone then."

"Why do you think I'm Kaiba," She felt so stiff! Why was he here? How did he know she was Kaiba?

Pegasus smirked, "I know those eyes of yours anywhere, Kaiba-boy. And besides, you are the only person that lives here other than Mokuba."

"What are you doing here, Pegasus," Kaiba asked, glaring at the man's back.

"Oh, nothing; I just wanted to come visit you and renew our contract. I decided to come over here since you always look so tired when you come to visit me in America, but I had no idea that I would be greeted to you in such a form. I have to say you look very good in a mini-skirt. You should wear them when you turn back into a man. I'm sure that they would complement your long legs."

Kaiba frowned, "I'm not going to wear a skirt when I become a man again. And I know that the reason you just gave is not true. You have another reason for coming."

"I do now," Pegasus faced the female CEO once again, "I need to teach you how to take proper care of yourself! Women have more needs than men do."

"I don't need your help, Pegasus," Kaiba looked away from the man and crossed her arms.

"How long have you been a girl?"

"This is the second day. Why?"

"Well, there is a little something that happens to a girl once a month and if you're not prepared... there will be consequences."

"I have no idea what you're talk-. Oh, you can't be serious. Do you honestly think I'd actually get a… a… a"

"A period," Mokuba poked his head into the room and ran off just as he finished saying what he had come to say.

Kaiba's face went completely red, "MOKUBA! Don't you ever say such things again!"

"Oh, come on, Kaiba-boy. Don't be so childish about this. This is nothing to be shy about. You're a woman now and you have to embrace that fact until you transform back into the man that you were," Pegasus crossed his arms and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I can't! I'm not a woman! I'm a man," Kaiba yelled, picking up her school bag and stomping up to her room, slamming the door behind her.

Pegasus sighed, glancing at Mokuba as he came back into the room, "You really should watch what you say around him. He's in a fragile state at the moment, but it's not because he's a woman. I've seen plenty of strong women. It's because he doesn't know how to deal with this and so he can't stay calm and let's his emotions get the better of him. It may be fate's way of saying he belongs with someone that's into women at the moment."

"Please don't say that, Pegasus. That means Nii-sama might belong with another man," Mokuba scrunched up his face.

"What's wrong with your brother being in love with a man," Pegasus asked the raven haired boy, "I think he would look cute with another man. What if it was Jounouchi-boy that he decided to be with?"

"Why would he be with Jounouchi-kun? He hates him," Mokuba asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"That might be true at the moment, but they say there is a very thin line between hate and love," Pegasus drifted off into a daydream, "And I believe both boys have crossed it, but they both came up with very different ways to do so."

"Well, of course they have! My brother magically became a girl and the boy he's supposed be with is his rival Jounouchi who thinks he's a girl from America named Kairi," Mokuba explained.

"You're right Mokuba, but it might be more difficult than we think. They seem as different as a pampered cat and a dog in a pound, but they're more alike than they think."

"I'm guessing Nii-sama is the pampered cat and Jounouchi is the dog in a pound," Mokuba said as sweat dropped on his forehead.

"Precisely, now we need to find a way to get them together. Does anyone else know about him being like this," the brown-eyed man asked.

"Well, only Yuugi and Anzu know about this other than us," Mokuba replied, "But the only reason they know is because Nii-sama woke up in Yuugi's house the day he transformed and needed to borrow Anzu's clothes for the day."

"I see. Well, I'll be staying here with the two of you for the time being," Pegasus walked into the kitchen, looking through the freezer, "Do you two have any red wine around here? I get horribly cranky if I don't have my daily red wine."

"Uh, I'm only 12. If Nii-sama even had alcohol around the house he wouldn't tell me where it was," Mokuba sweat dropped.

"Well, there has to be some wine around here," Pegasus sighed, closing the refrigerator, "I'll just go out drinking tonight and order some wine for the next week or so."

Jounouchi closed the door to his apartment, flopping down onto the couch in the living room. He was so glad that he was actually going to the pool with Kairi! "Welcome home, Oni-chan. Did you get detention today," His little sister, Shizuka, said.

He looked over to the red-headed girl and smiled, "No, I didn't get it today. I met this girl named Kairi Seta yesterday. She's a cousin of Anzu's, but she doesn't talk about friendship. Actually, I think she hates friendship, but I still got her to hang out with me and the others tomorrow."

"That's cool," She came to sit next to her brother in the living room, "So where are you all going?"

"We're going to the pool tomorrow after school," Jou smiled a goofy smile.

Shizuka's eyebrow shot up, "But all the pools are closed in January. Why would she even agree?"

"I don't know why she agreed, but I'm glad she did. And Yuugi and I found out about this one place that has an indoor pool, but it doesn't get gross or anything like that. It's the perfect place to take her out."

"It sounds like you're going on a date with her. Is she pretty?"

"She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Besides, it kind of is like a date since it's just me, Yami, Yuugi and her. That is unless you want to come."

"I don't think I want to go and watch you flirt. Yuugi and Yami are nice and all, but I just don't know."

Jou sat up and put his arm around his sister's shoulders, "Come on, I could ask Mokuba to come along so you can hang out with him. I know he's younger, but you two get along."

Shizuka smiled, "Alright, I'll go. What is Kairi-san like?"

"She's kind of distant when it comes to people. She hates guys who go up to her just to try and get a date with her, but has a really cute sounding voice. She's from America, but when she's mad at me she calls me Bonkotsu and makes dog jokes about me."

Shizuka raised an eyebrow, 'Did he just describe her the same way he did Kaiba when I asked about him? I wonder.' "Oni-chan, does this girl have blue eyes and brown hair?"

"Yeah, how do you know? Have you met her before?"

"I just guessed. I think I might have known her before, but from what I've heard from you, she's changed a bit since I last saw her."

"Oh, well I'm gonna make the phone call to invite Mokuba tomorrow."

"Alright, I can't wait for tomorrow. I have something I need to tell Mokuba tomorrow when we go to the pool," Shizuka said then thought, 'If I'm right then Kairi is actually Kaiba. I won't be able to get it out of him, but I know I can get it out of Mokuba.'

"I don't know if I'd approve of you dating a kid that's 2 years younger than you," Jou said uneasily.

"I'm not going to ask him to be my boyfriend! He's more like a younger brother or a cousin," Shizuka yelled before she closed the door to her room.

The next day after school Kaiba, Jounouchi, Yami and Yuugi met up so they could pick Shizuka and Mokuba up from Domino Middle School. Kaiba had heard yesterday that Mokuba was coming as well so they came up with a plan so they didn't have to act like they didn't know each other. "You're gonna love it Kairi-chan," Yuugi said, "Shizuka will be there so you won't be surrounded by us guys and Mokuba is a really great kid."

"Mokuba… that name sounds really familiar," Kaiba said.

Yami spoke, "Well, we are talking about Mokuba Kaiba. He's pretty famous in the dueling world as Seto Kaiba's little brother. You know the guy who went to America when you came here."

Kaiba nodded, a bit bored of the topic. Jou answered, "You're going to meet his little brother and my little sister. He's in his first year of Middle school and my sis is in her last."

Once they spotted the two teenagers, they walked over to them and Mokuba began his little excuse for knowing his brother, "Is that you Kairi? Wow, I haven't seen you in a long time."

The others looked from Mokuba to Kairi, "Hey kiddo. I thought it was possible for it to be you, but you never know. What a coincidence that we would meet again."

"How do you two know each other," Yuugi asked.

"We met when I was 10 and he was 5. Him and my little brother were about the same age so they got along and I was took care of him whenever Seto had to do something and couldn't take care of Mokuba himself," Kaiba answered.

"Oh, is that so," Shizuka asked in a sarcastic voice that no one caught.

"Well, let's get going already! If we hurry we can get the discount that ends at 4:30. What time is it now," Jou asked as they ran towards their bikes.

"It's four o'clock. Is it far," Mokuba replied.

"It's only half a mile away from here. We can make it, no problem," Yami answered.

They arrived at the pool 5 minutes before the discount was over and they got half off the original price. Then they had to go their separate ways to change into their swimming suits. Yami, Yuugi, Mokuba and Jounouchi went one way and Shizuka and Kaiba went another. Once they made it to the changing area… let's just say Kaiba wasn't too happy.

Kaiba was faced away from Shizuka and the other women that were changing. Sure, she was a guy, but she never liked the thought of seeing a girl naked even as a guy. After a horribly awkward moment she was finally finished changing, putting her stuff in a basket in a shelf. When she turned around she saw Shizuka without her top on. She got so red and almost yelped at the sight.

Shizuka knew it was Kaiba she was changing next to, but it didn't really faze her since she changed in front of her brother all the time. And by the looks of it, Kaiba really didn't want to look at her anyway. When she saw the blue-eyed CEO turn around she wasn't surprised when Kaiba's face had gone red. She quickly put her top on and said coolly, "What? It's not like you've never seen boobs before, right?"

Shizuka was wearing a pink bikini top with frills and a yellow and pink bottom. Kaiba was wearing a blue tube top like swimsuit and a blue bottom with a skirt attached to it. As they began walking out together Shizuka sighed, "Look, I know you're Kaiba. There's no hiding it. Maybe next time you should find a name that doesn't sound like yours. Well, at least you didn't pick Setoko. That would've been way too noticeable to just be a coincidence."

"What are you talking about," Kaiba said, "The only time I've ever seen him was when he left Mokuba in my care. That's all."

"Well, if you don't tell me the truth I'll just get it out of Mokuba or Yuugi," Shizuka explained as they spotted the others, "After Oni-chan explained to me what you were like I realized that he had described you the same way he did when you were Kaiba-san. I'm not stupid."

Kaiba pouted, 'Damn it. This Shizuka girl is nothing like Bonkotsu. Now she's going to get it out of Mokuba and Yuugi. I know Mokuba is pretty good at keeping secrets, but he doesn't know how to react when they catch him bluffing. And Yuugi has no backbone. Once he finds out she knows he's going to spill. Ugh, I shouldn't have told anyone!'

Kaiba sat down on one of the chairs that were by the pool's side and sighed. She saw Jou walk up to her and smile, "Aren't you going to swim? That's really the whole point of coming here."

"I'm not much of a swimmer," Kaiba said turning her head away from the blonde.

"Aw, come on. I'll be there with you. I used to be on the school's swim team so you don't have to worry about looking stupid when you can't swim. Besides, I think you'd look pretty cute if you couldn't swim," Jou said grabbing the brunette's hand.

"I can float and save my own life if I have to, but I'd rather not have to swim. I'm just not one for physical activity," Kaiba pulled her hand out of the blonde's grasp.

"Then what are you gonna do while we're here? It's not like you have a book or anything," Jou huffed.

"I don't know, actually. Ugh, I don't even know why I agreed to coming," Kaiba said frustrated.

"Come on, Kairi. It's not like you can sunbathe here. Let's just have fun in the water," Jou said as he put his hand out to the blue eyed girl again.

Kaiba looked from Jou's hand to his face then took the hand that was offered to her and got up to join the others in a game of volleyball. The teams were Shizuka, Kaiba and Yami against Mokuba, Yuugi and Jou. Let's just say Jou had a big red mark on his face from being hit so many times from not paying attention. I wonder what he was distracted by. (*Cough* Kaiba *Cough*) They didn't really keep track of the points since they were actually having a lot of fun.

Once they all started heading home it was around 6:30. Mokuba had made another excuse of saying since Kaiba wasn't around he would be lonely at the mansion all by himself and that Kairi should stay with him at the mansion until Kaiba got back. Kaiba nodded at her little brother with approval of his excuse which everyone else except for Yuugi and Shizuka mistook as agreement. Kaiba had learned later that night that Shizuka had been able to get her secret out of her little raven haired brother, though she didn't know how.

Once Kaiba and Mokuba got home they saw Pegasus drinking his wine while watching a random movie that happened to be on television. Mokuba went to get something to eat. Kaiba said he could have Haagen-Dazs after he had dinner. Kaiba sat on the same couch as Pegasus and watched the movie with the brown eyed man, "Why, hello there, Kaiba-boy. What have you and Mokuba been up to?"

"We went to the pool," Kaiba replied.

"It's the middle of January. What pools are open at this time of the year," Pegasus asked.

"Bonkotsu, Yami and Yuugi found one so they invited us and Bonkotsu's little sister ended up coming, too. She figured out that it was me they invited."

"What's wrong with that? If she hasn't told her brother yet then there's no way she would tell anyone else. I think it's great she knows. Now you have Anzu and Jounouchi-boy's sister to help you. What happens if you end up getting your 'you know what' and you aren't prepared for it?"

"I'm completely ready for anything that might happen to me. Can we just watch the movie?"

"Of course, Kaiba-boy; have you seen this movie before," Pegasus asked.

"Not that I know of. I don't usually watch movies about 10 year olds."

Pegasus smirked, "This movie is a romantic comedy. It's about this boy named Gabe who falls in love with a girl named Rosemary. He's known her since Kindergarten, but he doesn't realize it until he takes karate and she ends up being in it as well."

"So what is this movie called?"

"It's called Little Manhattan. It's very funny at times and very cute at others."

"Huh, did it just start?"

"Yes, it did. It's about 2 hours long."

The movie finally ended and when Pegasus turned to ask what Kaiba thought about it he saw the teenage CEO was fast asleep on the couch. He smiled at the sight and carried the tired brunette to her room. He tucked her in bed and went off to his room to read until he fell asleep.

Hey, everyone. Sorry that it's been awhile since I updated this, but I've been a bit busy. Anyways I hope you all like this. By the way, I love all of you who are reviewing my story. It makes me so happy.
