Thangs to Yami Ace and Neko and Dragna Vey for the reviews

Chapter 4

The rest of the week also went by without any complications and it seemed to Joey, like the killer really had decided to lay low, for a while at least. And so he wasn't worried about the killer when he came home from school on Friday afternoon. But he was worried about spending the evening with Kaiba, while pretending to be a girl to the best of his capability. And he would have to play the part as good as he could. So far Kaiba hadn't asked the boss who his bodyguards was. Obviously he couldn't care less about his own safety.

Now it was time to get ready. He would go all out and use everything he had learned to disguise himself. But first he had a good long shower. After that he got dressed. He had chosen a long black dress. It had no sleeves, as well as no back but was a neck holder, so it was high up in the front and once he stuffed a little there, he would look like he was a girl, or at least nearly like one for now.

He put in some hair extensions and made his hair a bit wavy, before pinning some of it up. A bit he let fall loosely to about half way down his back. He put in some hair pins with glittering flowers on the top, anything to get the attention from his body a bit up to where he could look more girly. For that reason the dress also had a long opening at the side. As long as he waxed his legs, and he already had done so in the morning. He could get the eyes of some guys down there and none would guess that he wasn't a she. He also used some blue contact lenses. He didn't like himself with blue eyes but it was discreet and would make sure, that Kaiba didn't recognize him by his eye colour. Not that he assumed that he would care enough to know his eye colour enough to recognise it. But he didn't want to risk anything. it was Kaiba after all end he was supposed to be a genius and that for not easily tricked. He also applied some make up, including a fiery red lipstick and dark eye-liner and mascara, to get attention to his lips or eyes.

By the time he arrived at the Kaiba mansion at exactly 5 minutes before 7, he looked perfectly like a woman and in the black dress, accessoriesed with a red silk shoulder scarf and a small red handbag he even looked rather hot in his own opinion, even so he still hated dressing like a woman and only did it, because he loved the rest of the job and it payed good money. Still he needed to take a deep breath before daring to ring the bell, still with about a thousand butterflies in his stomach. And still paying that neither of the brothers would recognise him. Bad enough that upon arrival he already knew they didn't trust his ability, or at least one didn't which one he wasn't sure.

Mokuba was the one who opened the door and after seeing the good looking woman in front of him, his eyes got so huge that Joey feared they might pop out, as well as that his cover was already blown. But after staring for a moment, he just asked: "Who are you?" Joey smiled friendly and said: "You can call me Katsuya, Katsuya Jonouchi. I'm supposed to meet your older brother." Joey said, trying to sound as feminine as he could and giving his voice a little higher pitch. Mokuba's eyes widen even more. "YOU´RE the BODYGUARD?" Joey just nodded. And Mokuba stared for a moment, before saying: "Wow," and added, screaming; "SETO, YOUR DATE IS THERE!"

A few moments later Seto walked down the stairs, still straigthening a tie and said: "I don't have a date, just that stupid body..." In that moment he saw Joey and stared for a moment, before asking "Who is that?", but instead of letting Mokuba answer that, Joey said: "The stupid body... and I guess guard was the part you failed to say. And by the way who thought about testing me by positioning Roland with a paint gun in a tree? I'm not stupid enough to not notice that first he is working here, second he has a paint gun instead of a real one and third, no professional would sit in front of two security cameras that still look like theiy're working perfectly."

Seto looked at Mokuba with a very stern face and asked: "You risked ruining my new suit, just to test her?"

Mokuba looked to the floor and said: "I just wanted to be sure that you're safe. You said yourself yesterday that no one is in every class with you and so Katsuya can't see you at all times. That's why I was worried that, well, she might not be any good to keep you safe." Joey could see Mokuba blushing and looked towards him with an apologetic look. Joey just smiled and went down to look the smaller one in the eyes, as he said: "I'm glad to see that one of you two takes this seriously, but don't worry. I don't need to be in your brother's room, since the odds that the killer is are nearly zero and I can keep an eye on the area outside, were the killer would be most likely to hide from outside as well. I promise that while I'm with him, your brother is safe. I know I don't look like a bodyguard right now but that's all part of the plan, right? And I know what I'm doing, so you can go to bed and sleep peacefully tonight. Nothing is going to happen to your brother and I'll bring him back to you, save and sound." Mokuba smiled and gave a nod, before he ran outside the front of the door and screamed: "She got you Roland, you can come out."

Seto too smiled, but at Joey and once Joey noticed he couldn't help but blush a little. It felt more than a little strange to have Seto fucking Kaiba, the one that always had made fun of him, smile at him now and actually having to protect his life. And gain not that he wished him dead, but he wasn't really fond of the cold CEO either. After a moment Seto said: "Well, I think we should get going. I hate being late." Joey smiled at him and said: "Strange, you're so often late for school due to your business." Seto just smiled and said: "Well, I can't always avoid a delay but I honestly try." It still felt strange to Joey to see him smile. It was so unlike the cold CEO to do so. But he let him put a hand on his back and lead him towards the limousine. Kaiba opened the door for 'Katsuya' himself and Joey went in.

During the drive both guys were quiet. But Joey could feel Seto's eyes on him the whole time, while he looked out the window. It was a rather long drive and they arrived at a big mansion at shortly before 8. It wasn't as big as Kaiba's but still impressive. And the first guests were already there. Kaiba led his 'friend' towards the door, which was immediately opened by a butler that was standing outside to let the guests in and Seto led the way to a big room, where the so called party was. Everyone was staring at them as they entered but Joey wasn't surprised about that, after all Kaiba had a girl with him. And as far as Joey knew that was a first.

"Try to be nice to the host. It's important to me." Seto whispered, after entering the room and Joey just smiled at him, asking: "May I ask why it is so important?"

"I doubt you'd understand and I wouldn't want to strain that pretty head of yours." Seto said and Joey kept smiling, even after being insulted and just said: "Well, then I just assume that it is due to his business oversea in Europe and the fact that you're trying to expand there, if you can believe the news, and I'm certain that his influence in the market over there would be quite beneficial to you, even so I'm sure you would be able to do without, if needed." Seto now stared at him with a rather shocked than just surprised expression on his face. Joey kept smiling and added: "Sorry rich boy, but I'm not some stupid pretty arm piece." Seto started to smile again and said: "Trust me, no reason for apologies. After all, maybe with you this party won't be as tedious as the last was." Joey grinned playfully and said quietly, so just Kaiba could hear: "You mean, it might get as lively as a funeral?" Seto laughed for a moment and Joey had to admit that he looked nice when laughing, relaxed and genuine, instead of his evil laughter. After a while he said: "I'm not sure if you can hope for that but with you here it might just get that far." Joey giggled a bit and then whispered: "Then let´s go and try to 'rock this party'."

Again Seto laughed and didn't stop until the host arrived and said: "It seems like you're already enjoying the party, Mr. Kaiba."

"How could I not? With this charming company I have tonight, may I introduce this is Katsuya. A good friend of mine."

The host didn't get his eyes off Joey and so Joey was ready to drop the pretend fact about a boyfriend as soon as possible, to help him fight off any advances one of the rich guys might try to pull.

The host was obviously the first to try, as he said: "My dear, you look stunning tonight, if I may say so." And instead of shaking the hand Joey had handed him, he gave him a little kiss on the back of it. Unnecessary to say that Joey felt like throwing up on the guy.

While Kaiba just said: "I believe that stunning doesn't really come close to how she looks. I was trying to find a more appropriate word during our drive here but I have to admit, that I couldn't. There simply is no word to describe a beauty like Katsuya."

Joey's face turned about as red as his lipstick since Seto, after saying such words, also dared to take his other hand and he too gave a little kiss on the back of it. This definitely was the perfect time to drop the boyfriend bomb on everyone, before it could get any weirder. "You know, Seto, that you shouldn't flirt with me like that, you know that my boyfriend doesn't like it." Joey turned towards the host and said, just to top it up a little more and to annoy Kaiba: "You know we met through my boyfriend, who is a duellist, just like Seto here. And he's about as good, if you ask me. His name is Joey Wheeler, you might have heard of him."

Joey could hardly fight a laughter, after looking at the thunderstruck looking CEO, but after a moment of shock he just said, smiling again: "You should know by now that he can't stop me to do anything and just because of a street dog, I wouldn't give up on a price like you."

Joey just rolled his eyes and said: "We should discuss this more privately, I think. And at any rate, our dear host surely has other guests to welcome, I'd hate to keep him from it."

"My dear, I would gladly let you keep me from anything. But since you seem to be busy, I'll leave you two to it." And with that he was gone and Joey was glad to see his backside for now. It was exhausting to keep up the pretend of being a girl, fighting off all their advances AND to keep an eye out for possible danger and this guy didn't seem to put security too high, even after what happened, there were still plenty of possible hiding places for a killer. Joey had noticed this before they even had entered and it didn't look much better from the inside. Unless the guy had gotten bulletproof glass this time around, for the window the bullet had come through the last time was fixed.

Kaiba led Joey towards the buffet and asked if 'she' would like a snack? Joey accepted, feeling famished at the moment. They stood there for a moment in silence and Joey could feel the CEO stare at him, until he finally asked the question Joey had seen in his eyes the second he had said his real name and now was currently his own boyfriend. "You're not really DATING that mongrel, are you?" Joey looked at him and asked: "What if I do?" Seto stared again at Joey, looking like he was trying to find the solution to a very hard maths problem. But after a while, he just said: "You can't be dating him, he could never get a girl like you." Joey giggled a little and imagined what Kaiba might do if he would find out who he was flirting with.

Joey took his hand and pulled him towards the side of the window, so he could stand there with him, where he should be reasonably safe. It was rather dark outside by now and it was hard to see, if someone was hiding out there somewhere and Joey didn't want to take a risk. While on his way, he made sure to be himself in between of Kaiba and the in Joey's opinion way too large window. Once there, he made sure to position Seto as close to the wall and as far from the window along the same wall as possible, so that no one from out there could see Seto, not to mention shoot him and it would be easy to keep the few possible hiding places inside checked. While pressing Seto against the safe place at the wall in the corner of the room, he tried to make it look like they were flirting, while still trying to fight off Kaiba's advances and that wasn't easy. He leaned in close against his body, feeling his arm move around his waist, then he stood a little on his toes and whispered into his ears: "I hope you remember that in the company I work for, everyone is good at disguising. So how can you even be so sure that I'm a she?"

Seto looked Joey up and down, who was still way closer than he actually would have been comfortable with but the fact that he right now was imagining Kaiba's face, if he would right now tell him that the girl, that was apparently way too hot to be Joey's girlfriend, actually was Joey. And he had to held back a laud barking laughter at the thought. Part of him wanted to tell him, just to see his face but the bigger part was still to embarrassed about the whole situation himself, so he just smiled a very sheepish little smile at the CEO, who after watching him up and down a few times, said: "No guy can look like that." Then Kaiba leaned down and whispered into Joey's ear: "And in case I'm wrong, I wouldn't mind. Since I'm bi anyway." Now it was Joey's turn to stare for a moment, before he mumbled: "Too bad. I thought I could keep you on distance with that."

"So you are a girl." Seto said, still trying to figure out the puzzle called Katsuya. "Maybe, maybe not. You know a girl has her secrets, right?"

"So you are a girl." Seto said once again but Joey only giggled. "Maybe. Or maybe I'm just playing my role so well, that I have my secrets now too, even if I'm not a girl."

"So you are a guy." Joey laughed a little this time and just said: "You should stop asking. I wouldn't want to strain that pretty head of yours."

The whole evening went by rather fast, considering the kind of party they've attended and Joey was glad as he was back in Kaiba's limousine and on the way to his mansion. After all he would soon be rid of a flirty Kaiba, that was so different from what he was used to. He had tried to flirt and find out more about him all evening and by the end Joey had gone so far, as to say: "You´ll never find it out yourself, you're not smart enough, so stop straining that pretty head of yours and admit that you can't and phone my boss." Of course NOW there was no way Seto Kaiba would ever do that and admit defeat. And Joey knew that.

Once at the mansion doors, Joey wanted to say goodbye but before he even had opened his mouth, Seto asked him inside. But Joey refused and called himself a taxi cab, that Seto, all gentleman like, offered to pay. He had offered to drive 'Katsuya' home himself or get a driver to do so, but Joey wouldn't have any of that and let him or a driver see were he lived and that for give away who he might be.

Please review.

And for the questions from Yami Ace and Neko most has hopefully be answered but since I can't PM you, I answer the last one that wasn't in here now:
"If Kaiba did know i wonder how Joey's going to make him keep quiet?" - Joey would have blackmailed Kaiba for having him as a bodyguard, obviously he doesn't want to be known that he has one, and most certainly not that it's Joey!
