Mokuba watched Jounouchi walk away, 'He couldn't have JUST saved me for no reason, there's always a reason! Money? Is that what he wanted? Because…be-because…'
The younger Kaiba gritted his teeth, "I don't care…I hate him. Just like everyone else in this world."
Mokuba put his hands in his pockets and started walking somewhere trying to get his mind off of what just happened but all he could think about was Jounouchi.
Mokuba grabbed his head, "Ugh!! Where's my willpower!?" Mokuba sighed, when he saw Michi's ice cream parlor, he decided to stop by.
When he went inside, he smiled, "Hi Michi, give me the usual. Kay?"
A woman over 30, slightly over-weighted, brown/blue hair and black eyes frowned, "Aw Mo, you only order the usual when you're upset. What's the matter? Brother problems?"
Mokuba smiled and sat on a chair near the counter, "Actually Michi, this time it doesn't involve Seto at all."
Michi blinked and got Mokuba the usual, "Uh oh. You know what; just tell me what the problem is. Whatever you order is on the house as long as you tell me the truth, alright boy."
Mokuba looked down at his Cherry Float, "Thanks…well…today, today I almost got ran over by someone until this guy—Jounouchi Katsuya—saved me. Now I just can't stop thinking what happened."
Michi smiled, "That's so cute. Mo, you gotta a little crush."
Mokuba's face was red, "I do not! I almost got killed, it's—it's normal to think about your near death situation, right?"
Michi smirked, "Well sure but were you blushing a lot?"
The boy didn't say anything but when his blush reddened, it answered Michi's question.
Michi laughed, "I was right, you have a crush!"
Mokuba's eyes widened then he said through his teeth, "Sssshhh!! You don't have to tell everyone here!" Mokuba frowned and finished his float.
"I'm not gay and I don't have a crush on him." The raven-haired boy pouted and sipped his float.
Michi frowned as he gave another customer an ice cream cone, "Mo, you can be in denial but your heart knows what it wants."
Mokuba sighed, his eyebrow twitching slightly, "I'm not in denial Michi."
"Who's in denial?" asked a smooth voice.
Mokuba snarled at him with a light blush on his face, "That's none of your business." He turned to Michi and gave him the money for his float even if it was on the house, "Bye Michi."
While Mokuba left, he saw Jounouchi scowling at him.
As Mokuba was leaving, he glared at anyone who stared at him. When Mokuba came outside, he looked back at the ice cream parlor then sighed and began walking home, "The one place I could just be myself, that guy is there."
Mokuba arrived home after a many hours of thinking—about Jounouchi—and walking. Once Mokuba opened the door, everything was normal, "This is how it's supposed to be, right? I shouldn't be expecting anything…" honestly, he was hoping Seto would hug him back and said that he was worried. That what he needed but he questioned himself, did he want it?
The boy laughed and was going upstairs to his room, "As if anyone would wait for me…" When Mokuba reached the door to his room, there was a sticky note to it:
Mokuba
I'm sorry for what happened earlier when I was about to hit you. I still think you should apologize to Isono. Anyways, I'm at a meeting and I won't be back till tomorrow night. I want you to behave yourself when the tutor comes tomorrow morning too.
Mokuba grabbed the note and tore it up, "Tch. I don't need a tutor." He saw Isono's room and sighed. A few knocks, the door opened and revealed an Isono in a night gown.
The kid blinked a few times and repressed overwhelming laughter, "I-Isono? You're in a dress!?"
The old man's face reddened, "Mokuba-sama…"
Mokuba shook his head. A small blush of embarrassment formed, "Look," he turned his head, "I'm sorry for throwing a lamp at your head. Now goodbye." The boy started to leave, he tensed up when he heard, "It's okay…Mokuba-sama."
The smaller boy walked faster until he reached his room and slammed the door shut. He put his back to the door, "H-how can he be so nice after what I've done to him?" he growled and crashed on to the bed.
Michi got an ice cream sundae for Jounouchi, "So Katsu, what's the matter?" she smirked.
The blonde looked away, "What was that kid doing here? Is that brat a friend of yours?"
Michi frowned, "Yeah. Blondie, if you gotta a problem with him…"
No one spoke for a minute.
"I saved that kid earlier when he was going to get hurt. He didn't even thank me! I swear, there's something wrong with him." Jounouchi looked at his ice cream with contempt.
The old woman shook her head in disappointment, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Katsu! That's not right—"
Jounouchi growled, "I-it's not like that. The kid's so not cute. Kids like him should be cute and naïve. He's the complete opposite!! Every time I hear his voice, it annoys me."
The old woman's eyebrows shaped into a V but her smile was sympathetic.
Mokuba turned on his bed, "Well, I have one thing to look forward on. I can torture the tutor tomorrow." He smirked and bent over his bed to the floor where he grabbed his journal.
"Now, how can I drive the tutor insane?" The raven-haired child laughed manically.

Hm, is it just me or is this chapter slightly boring?
