=====chapter 7=====

Struggling very hard to think of the answers to the test, the dirty-gold blonde rack his hair as he cursed at the test.

‘I’m the best they got with it involves technology, but why the hell do I always suck at doing tests?!’ hw screamed in his head, glaring deadly at the last question.

R-Psst. You guys. Yugi, Malik, Jou. C’mon!

‘God.’ Jou didn’t if he was relieved for the interruption or pissed at it.

Y-Hi Ryou, Hi Ryou, Hi Ryou!

R-Yugi?

“Hold on, Ry. I jus gotta finish dis stupid test. Dammit.” he said into his blue collar, and scribble the answer he hope was correct.

R-I-I k-know, Malik, b-but I’m scared. What if I failed the interview? You know how uncomfortable I get being alone with a stranger.

Jou drop the pencil and got up to stretch. Then said in a reassuring tone, “Don’t worry about it, Ryou. We’re here, uh, sorta. Ok. I’m done.”

Y-Yay! Jou is done! Jou is done! Yay!

Jou blinked at the very cheerful tone of his friend.

“Hey, Yuge? Are you alright? You sound kinda...” he trailed off as he remember the last time his little buddy was hyped up like this. ‘Oh shit!’

R-Yugi? What are you doing?

Y-Hehehe. hm? Oh, nothing. Just waiting.

‘Oh, bad feeling, bad feeling, very bad feeling!’

R-And?

Y-Eatting Pixie Sticks! he he he he he

What?!” Jou shouted and look franticly around, as if something’s going to pop out and attacked.

R/M-WHAT?!

Jou took a couple of deep breathes and calm himself down. ‘Ok, so he got some of the stuff even though we banned it from him. Should of expected it from him.’

R-Yugi, how did you get them? We banned them all from you!

M-Yugi, How many did you ate?

Y-um, I dunno. Two I think. he he he.

‘Please let it be the truth.’ “Only two?” ‘Please let it be the truth!’

Y-Yeppers. Two.....dozens!

“FUCK!” he cursed aloud.

R-Oh, god

Y-Ooh, lookie! Door open! Open sesame bun! he he he!

“Damn! Shit! Yuge!” but it was too late. He’d turned off the communicator and now he can’t contact any of them. “Fuck.”
Cursing again, he quickly search his pockets for the case of pills and opened it to look at the list and found the ones he was looking for.

The ‘Y-PILL’. They were the special pills he had requested for Anzu to specifically make for such occasions as this. He knew one day after the short, freakishly-haired friend will crack under the pressure of quitting his most favored treat. He hadn’t tried it on him yet, for fear that if Yugi take too much of the stuff, he would develop an immunities it.

‘Like the others he tried before.’ he thought with a shudder. Then he got up and make it to the door. ‘If I go now, I might be in time to give him the pill and get back before anyone-’

He was cut off when the doorknob was turning just as he was about to reach it. ‘DAMN!’

He froze, case in hand, as the door opened and he was faced with another.

“And where do you think your going?” the person asked in a cool, emotional voice, his cold sapphire eyes .

Jou inwardly gulp as he look up at the cold, but handsome teen.

“Jus exercising before da interview.” he said cleverly and make himself walk smoothly back to the stool. Sitting down with grace with his hands cupped to his front.

The other just scoffed and walk to the other stool and quickly picked up the form and scan it. Jou sat there quietly as the other check his test. Jou twist and move around his seat, crossing his legs, tapping his toe restlessly.

He’s not one to stay in one spot for a long time or a deal with silence. He would prefer moving and freely and in a very loud noisy area but judging by the look on the other teen, his taste is completely the opposite of Jou’s.

‘Calm down, man. Chill. It’s not like you’ll have to stay in this boring room for hours doing nothing with a creepy moody guy.’ he told himself and look at the again. ‘Even if the guy is hot.’

Moving his attention to the integrator, he record every detail like a computer. The other guy was definitely handsome in his list. One of the sexiest guys he had ever seem next to his friends. He looks a bit older than himself, about a year or two. But defiantly at the teen age. He has a sort of dark brown hair that’s matches his face and skin. His body wasn’t bad too. Nice figure and hot ass.

‘Hey, I could notice these type of things even in a panic.’

But what caught his attention the most were the blue eyes that look coldly at him. Even in a cold, hateful glance, he looks perfect. Especially in the tight suit.

“You didn’t put down your full name.” the other state, impatiently

“Yeah. So? I wrote my name dat I prefer people to call me on. And it’s real.” Jou said in a business tone but he could help the quiet annoyed tone traced in it, along with his Brooklyn accent.

“Still to get the job you have to fill out all the questions.” the other said coldly, pushing the sheet back and a pen. “That is if you want a job here. Unless you want to go find work down at the pound along with the other dogs.”

Jou narrowed his eyes and glared at the brunette. He kept his mouth shut but he really wanted to tell the other teen that those ‘dogs’ he was talking about was what he used to be and they are good people that help raised him when his father was abusing him as a drunk.

Snatching the pen, he scribbled his first name and slam down the pen and shove the sheet back to him. “Dere. Satisfied?” he said mockingly and crossed is arms.

Picking up the paper, the brunette stare bored at the messy handwriting and said, “Katsuya Jonouchi.”

Jou flinched a little hearing his first name and a shiver run up his spine listening to his voice saying his name. “Y-yeah.”

“You got some of the answers right surprisingly but you barely passed it.” he informed flatly and set the paper down. “Dumb luck I’m sure.”

“Yeah, lucky me.” Jou said with a smirk, but inside he was jumping up and down with joy and relief. “So, does dat mean I get da job?”

That’s when the brunette raised an amuse brow. “Not yet, mutt.”

‘Mutt?!’ “What?” Jou asked stiffly, a smile fixed on his face. “What did ya jus call me?”

“What I see. A mutt.” the brunette said, looking at Jou with a superior look.

Jou fisted his hand into a fist and ground his teeth from growling. What he hated the most was to be called names that he did not like. It’s not that he has anything against dogs or nothing, he actually likes dog. It’s the fact that a rich boy said to him as if he wren nothing but dirt.

“I am not a dog.” he said quietly, spreading each word.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Look, you, you uh...” he was stumped.

He couldn’t carry out his insult because he doesn’t know the other’s name.

And to his embarrassment, the other older teen smirk smugly at him. “Name’s Kaiba. Seto Kaiba if that’s too hard for you to comprehend.” he said a to him.

That’s when Jou’s eyes widen in surprise, forgetting about the ‘Dog’ comment. “Kaiba?! As in Kaiba Corp.? Yer that filthy rich guy?”

Kaiba’s brow went a notch higher, surprised that the teen knew of him or the way he had said of him, he can’t decide. “Yes.”

Jou let out a soft whistle and said in a amused tone, “Huh. Guess jus cause ya hav a ton of money doesn’t mean ya can’t buy a hot sex joint in town.”

Kaiba just stare expressionless but intrigue with him. “You wouldn’t know, would you?”

Jou chuckled and lean back, feeling a bit relaxed but still anxious about his friend’s condition. “Yeah, I ain’t dat perverted.”

Then Kaiba’s eyes went flat and his voice turn serious. “You say you want a job here. Why?”

That caught Jou off guard for a while and he quickly thought of a reasonable excuse. His mind went to his past. “I need da money. Since my Pops is too drunk to support himself, much less me. Gotta put food on da table.” he said with a careless shrug but inside he still hold the old wound.

Kaiba nodded in understanding, surprisingly not making any wise-cracks about it. “Fine. You’ll get the job,”

‘Yes!’

“But,”

‘Shit!’

“You have to pass one more test.”

“Bring it.” Jou said bravely.

Kaiba just look over Jou’s resume that he got from Suki before he came in. “It says you’re subject is electronics?”

That’s when Jou smiled and shine with pride. “Yeah, I went throu a few courses of electronics and was top in most of my classes.” he said proudly and lean on the table and whisper challengingly, “Anything wit a wire and metal dat goes well wit electricity, I’m da guy ta call.”

Kaiba also lean close until his face was so close their breath touch. “Oh really?”

“Hey, Kaiba. You sure dis is legal?” Jou said with a nervous chuckle.

Jou was in a dark room that’s walled down with protective metal for walls, no windows but a large one with Kaiba behind it. The only light in the room was a small lamp on the ceiling that’s shining down on Jou, who’s standing in front on a small square metal table with a device on top of it.

The table was in the middle of the room where Kaiba has a clear view of Jou and the device. He push a couple of buttons to record Jou’s actions.

“It’s only illegal if someone knows.” Kaiba said carelessly, busy with his buttons and computer.

Jou sweat drop. “O-k.”

He was actually scared of his test. He knew he’s good but he hope he’s good enough to pass this. And live.

“You have 10 minutes.” Kaiba said, warning him.

“Uh, are ya sure dis is da only way fer me ta get da job, Kaiba?” Jou ask again.

“Yes. And start.”

With a start, Jou look down at the small metal box and stare at the wide red blinking numbers showing 10:00 and moving lower.

“I think you should start now, mutt.” Kaiba ordered.

That snapped Jou and have him pumped up with fury that he transferred the energy to put his attention to the miniature bomb in front of him. Rolling up his make-believe sleeves, he tossed his leash over his shoulder, picking up a screwdriver by the corner of tools for him to use to disarm the bomb. And he went to work.

“Geronimo.”

His mind shuts off from his surroundings, he ignored the dark room, the heat, Kaiba’s intense and interested staring, moving them all aside and place his full attention to the machine.

As quickly and smoothly as he can, he gotten the lid off the metal box and was welcome with hundreds of wires, micro chips, and blinking lights. Releasing a breath, he let his eyes roam through the insides and recall all that he knew of each little piece and try to focus on where’s the main brain of the bomb.

“Five minutes.”

Picking up the pliers he went on snipping and twisting wires together. Sweat forming up his fore head, dripping down his face, glistening his body. Jou might not know, being busy try to stop a bomb from exploding in from of him, but Kaiba was taking this time to look Jou over, and is liking how he looks now leaning on the table with his tight short clothes.

Cutting the last wire, that’s when he get stuck on the final two. A blue wire or a red wire.

“Damn!” he cursed softly and punched the table.

“Two mintues.”

He look up to see Kaiba still watching.

He gave a small snarl and look back at the two wire. In the bomb tests, the end part was what he has the most problems with. The two colors. He’s always been busy remembering the numbers and didn’t care much for the colors of wire.

“One minute.”

Shutting his eyes he try to remember the answer then a scene popped in his head.

“Jou, it’s really an easy equation.” Yugi said and hold up Jou‘s Red Eyes Black Dragon. “Just think of it as a game. The REBD & BEWD. Even though the BEWD has a higher attack points and is much rarer than REBD, the REBD could always find a way to get through the BEWD.”

“10 seconds.”

Suddenly Jou opened his eyes and look at the wires again. With a little prayer he closed his eyes again and cut a wire.

.......

Nothing happened.

Slowly opening his eyes again, Jou stared at the red number stuck on the number 00:03.

He jumped at the sound of a clap from his side and snap his head to see Kaiba. His body was still sweaty and his breath was coming out in pants as the adrenaline slowly seep out of his body.

“Nice work, Jou.” he said flatly, but satisfied.

Jou didn’t say anything, just grunt as Kaiba slowly reach him.

Slowly, to Jou’s shock , Kaiba lean closer until their bodies almost touch, barely brushing each other.

“How did you know it was the blue wire?” he whisper quietly, his breath fanning Jou’s neck.

Remembering his friends words, he said calmly, “Even though the BEWD has a higher attack points and is much rarer than REBD, the REBD could always find a way to get through the BEWD”

Kaiba smirked and lean closer to his ear. “True but the BEWD can always get his claws on the REBD as easily, Katsuya.”

Jou shivered again and almost moan aloud.

Then Kaiba stepped back and walk to the door. “Work start tomorrow at 8:30pm, mutt. Sharp.”

Alone in the dark room, Jou fell on the table next to the bomb and check on his arm with the digital band and saw that his body heat and blood rate is over the normal measure.
“Shit. I can’t believe I hav da hots for a guy who calls me ‘mutt’.” he said and drop his head.

A while later his head pop back up, his eyes wide with horror. “Oh, fuck! I forgot about Yugi!”
