Clearing Skies

 

“Alright start explainin' why in the world would you give Kaiba the time of day?” Joey commanded. “Well first off I'm sorry if it pissed you guys off so much, I didn't know you hated Seto so much.” “SETO!!!!” Everyone yelled in surprise. “Why are you calling him by his first name?” Tea asked while covering Joey's mouth so he couldn't say anything mean. “Well Seto is a very close childhood friend of mine.” “WHAT!?” Joey said after breaking free of tea's grasp, and grabbing Jessica by the shoulders, and giving her a death glare. Just than Seto's limo passed by everyone, and Joey turned his glare at it. Since the limo's windows we're tinted, no one could see Seto, but they all knew it was him inside it by the trademark KC on the front of the limo. “Alright I'm sensing a long story coming, why don't we all go get something to eat at that little café up ahead, and talk there. Tea suggested after Kaiba's limo passed them. “Alright.” Everyone agreed except Joey, who took his hands off Jessica, and continued glaring at the disappearing limo while starting to walk off with his other friends towards the café.

 

Seto stared out that back window to make sure Joey took his hands off Jessica. `Damn dog better keep his hands off Jessica. Wait what the hell am I thinking. I don't care about Jessica anymore, and besides I know she's friends with Yugi's group of cronies, and they live off friendship, so I know they wouldn't hurt each other. Then what the hell am I so pissed off about? Oh well I shouldn't care, I have work to do, and don't need to be thinking about such trivial things.'

 

The gang entered the café, and the waiter seated them in a six-person booth. Jessica, Tea, and Ryou sat on one side, while Joey, Yugi, and Tristan sat on the other. After they ordered their food, and got their drinks they all looked at Jessica expecting a long explanation. “Sorry Jessica bout takin' my anger out on you. I just hate that Kaiba jerk so much.” Joey said now calm, and collected. “That's alright, but before I start explaining why I was talking to him, do you guys think you can explain to me why you hate him so much?” “Well not all of us hate him as much as Joey here, but we can't say we like him much either.” Ryou stated. “Yeah, the guy is mean, and cold-hearted, but I'm sure there is a good reason behind it, so I don't despise him.” Tea said. “I don't despise him either, I think deep inside he has some good in him, but he just doesn't want to show it or he might look weak, or something like that.” Yugi put in. “I hate him.” Joey said disagreeing with everyone. “There's nothin' good bout the guy, he's an egotistic jerk, that thinks he's better than everyone else around him. He doesn't like or care about anyone that I know of, and all he cares about it being the best. He's a horrible person, and I just don't like you hanging around him.” “Thanks Joey for looking out for me, I know I can always count on you and the rest of you guys to be there for me. I'm sorry for worrying you guys; I really didn't know how much you guys disliked him, especially you Joey. Seto must of changed over the years cause he was nothing like how your describing him. Seto was a good kid, and as of right now he hasn't done anything to me to make me think of him otherwise, but he was a little different when we were talking.” Just than everyone's food came, and Joey started shoving food in his face as if it would disappear if he didn't eat it quickly. Everyone just sweatdroped at Joey's actions. “Ok Jessica, now it's your turn to explain how you're friends with Kaiba.” Tristan said. At this Joey stopped eating and started listening carefully. “Well as you guys all know I'm adopted, but I guess I never really talked much about it. Well my parents died in a horrible car crash when I was 6, and shortly after that I was put in an orphanage. There I met Seto, he and his brother Mokuba, we're in the same orphanage as me.” “Wait you mean Seto was adopted too?” Yugi asked surprised. “Yeah Seto's mom died giving birth to his younger brother, Mokuba, and than two years later his Dad died in a car accident. So he and his brother both came to the orphanage. Mokuba was 2 when he came there, and Seto was 7. Seto didn't seem to like the other kids very much, they always picked on Mokuba, but he became friends with me because I stood up for Mokuba a time or too. So whenever Seto couldn't be there for whatever reason I was there to make sure the other kids didn't pick on him. I was at that orphanage with them for about two years. Everyone wanted to adopt Seto but not Mokuba, but Seto wouldn't leave without his brother. With the large amount of orphanages there I was hardly noticed, which I didn't mind that much, because I liked spending my time with Seto, and Mokuba. But than after that two years passed, Mr., and Mrs. Watsuki adopted me, and I left, but Seto and I made a promise that we would be friends forever, and we would see each other again someday. And than we ki…hugged and I left. I assume later on Seto and Mokuba go adopted, but how much later on I don't know.” “Wow I didn't know Seto was that nice as a kid.” Tristan said. “So that's why I was talking to him, cause I wanted to make sure he was the Seto from my past, and you know, fulfill at least half of the promise by meeting him again.” “I guess I kind of understand, but I still think Kaiba's a big jerk, just be careful round him, and remember we always got your back.” Joey said. “Yeah we're always here to help if you're in trouble or have a problem.” Yugi agreed. “So now that that's all cleared up, you guys wanna head to the arcade now.” Tea suggested. “Sure.” Everyone said as they paid their part of the bill. Than everyone took off towards the arcade that wasn't too far from the café they were at. Tea and Jessica spent most of the time playing DDR, while Ryou, Yugi, Tristan, and Joey played various fighting games. After a long time at the arcade, everyone finally got tired and decided it was time to leave.

 

“Wow, I'm completely outta money now, o well I don't have much I'm planning to do soon anyways that involves money.” Jessica said. “Jessica you mean you spent all of you money, but you only spent $15.” Ryou said with confusion. “Oh, well I get a very small allowance, and all, that's it.” `I can't let them know my family is so poor that I have to secretly work at this horrible little shop, to help provide for my family, so that doesn't leave much spending money.' Jessica thought to herself. “Don't worry about it guys. Wow it's getting late, we all better hurry home.” After a little walk everyone made it to Jessica's house. “See you guys tomorrow, thanks for spending time with me.” Jessica said to her friends as she walked up to her door. “See ya Jess.” Tea called back. “Yeah we're talk to you tomorrow.” Yugi shouted back as everyone started to leave. Jessica walked inside, and put her stuff in her room. Than she walked back downstairs, and looked for her Mother. “Oh, there you are Mother, I'm back from hanging with my friends. I already ate out with them, so I don't need dinner.” “Oh, ok than. So how was your first day at High School?” “Great I'm in most of the same classes with my friends, and I met Seto again which I'm really happy about.” “You mean the Seto from the orphanage you talked so much about.” “Yeah, and it turns out his last name is now Kaiba, as in Kaiba Corporation, that huge Duel Monsters corporation. He's the owner of it.” “WHAT! WOW.” “Yeah I'm impressed Seto has come so far, and he's grown up so much. He has become a little colder, and less happy though. I knew he was a child genius back than, but I had no idea he could do this much.” “Wow and from seeing him a few times on TV, he's pretty hot too.” “Mom! I will admit he's quite attractive. I mean you'd have to be lesbian if you couldn't see that. ” “And you say he kissed you when you two were little, wow, you're so lucky.” “Mom! Its not like that it was just a goodbye kiss. You're married, and you're still boy-crazy.” “Hey I love your father, but I can still talk about other men too.” “Whatever, I'm going upstairs, and going to bed.” “But your miss your father coming home.” “He worked late again!? Gezzz, he comes home way too late, I can't stay up and wait for him, I've got school tomorrow.” “Alright dear, I'll tell him you said hi, good night honey.” “Night mom.”

 

 

A/N: Apologies for the whole friendship bit in there, but in my opinion; you can't have Yu-Gi-Oh without the sappy friendship speeches between Yugi, and his gang. Next chapter up within the next hour!
