In the Service of Seto Kaiba - Chapter 4 - A New Side to the Kaiba Puzzle


Jou rolled over at the sound of his alarm with a heavy sigh. Morning had come all to soon for the blond and he really didn’t want to get out of his bed. Slowly the teen climbed out of the warm blankets and made his way to the bathroom for a much needed shower and let a content sigh escape himself as the warm water hit his tired body. He stayed in the shower a little longer than he could afford and ended up hurrying about the rest of his usual morning routine.

He headed into his father’s room and gave the sleeping man a quick scrub down before slipping him into a fresh pair of pajamas before hurrying back to his own room to get dressed for work. He grabbed a pair of gray dress slacks and a white button down shirt that his mother had given him the year before and slipped into the outfit quickly before heading out of the house.

He made his way towards the bus stop and stood silently on the corner when seemingly out of no where a limo pulled up in front of him. The back window rolled down and Jou was met with the smirking face of Seto Kaiba.

‘Waiting for your master Pup?’ Seto asked with a smirk. Jou recognized the bait and decided to try a different angle for a change, being to tired to actually fight with the other teen.

‘Hai, as long as he plans on gettin me ta work.’ Jou answered with a cheeky grin. Seto was surprised that Jou didn’t lash out as always, but he liked the way that Jou had answered him.

Seto nodded at Jou and opened the door before moving over so that the other could get in. Jou thanked his boss before letting out a tiny yawn. Seto knew that Jou probably sat up with his father most of the night so he wasn't surprised when the shorter teen fell asleep as soon as the car started to move. Seto simply watched him closely while he slept and hoped that his puppy liked what he had planned.

Across town, and few houses away from the Kaiba home. Mitsuki left her home and climbed into her car before starting it up and taking her usual route to the office when something caught her eye and made her slam on the brakes. The vacant house that was right next to the Kaiba Mansion now held a rather large ‘Sold’ sign and below it was the logo of Kaiba Corp. *Kaiba bought that house?! What the hell is he up to?* Mitsuki thought madly as she sped the rest of the way to the office. She had a funny feeling she already knew exactly what was going on.

Jou opened his eyes slowly as he felt his body being shaken lightly by someone or something. His vision focused and his eyes settled on the smirking face of one Seto. Jou grumbled and stretched quickly before scratching the back of his head.

‘Gomen I feel asleep.’ Jou said sheepishly while looking toward the tiny clock in the limo before looking back at it again to make sure he had read it right. ‘Is dat clock right?!’ he exclaimed.

‘Of course it is Puppy. You were tired to I let you sleep.’ Seto said simply. Jou was shocked to say the least. He couldn’t believe this new side to Seto and wondered if maybe the other was ill.

‘Don’ take dis da wrong way or nothin Kaiba, but are ya feelin all right?’ Jou asked slowly looked at the taller teen.

Seto frowned for a minute and reflected on everything that had happened recently. Sure he was being nice to Jou, but was he really so bad before that this change in his actions seemed so odd? The longer he thought the more he realized that all this must be shocking the hell out of Jou.

‘Pup, I thought it time we called a truce. Seeing as you are working for me now, pissing you off no longer has it’s advantages for me.’ Seto said quickly.

‘I like da sound of a truce, now if only I could get ya ta stop callin’ me a damn dog.’ Jou said crossing his arms. Seto smirked at him.

‘I wouldn’t press your luck. Besides, I said Puppy, not Dog.’ Seto said quickly pointing out the difference.

The two then climbed out of the car and finally headed into the building about an hour later than usual and Mitsuki glared at Jou the entire time. *An hour late, both of them, what the fuck is going on?! That kid must plan on sleeping his way to the top.* She thought coldly before turning her head and looking back at the computer screen.

As soon as they were in the office Jou headed towards his small desk and started right where he had stopped with things the night before, while Seto started to look over one of many contracts that the company was trying to get started. The two worked in silence for a long while before the intercom buzzed.

‘Kaiba-san?’ came the sickeningly sweet voice of Mitsuki, causing both teens to shudder.

‘Hai Takanowa?’ Seto said quickly wanting to talk to the woman as little as possible.

‘There is a call for you on line 2 sir, something about your recent investment.’ she said. At her words Seto’s expression changed slightly as he picked up the phone quickly.

‘Hai, This is Kaiba Seto.’ he said into the phone. Jou watched has the brunette took on a very pleased expression. ‘Subarashi (1) we’ll be along soon.’ Kaiba said before hanging up the phone.

No sooner had he done that did Jou’s stomach let out a growl that broke the silence of the office. Seto looked at him for a moment before chuckling slightly.

‘So I take it if I offer lunch, you’ll jump at said offer?’ Seto questioned lightly.

‘Hai!’ Jou answered a bit to quick for his own liking. He didn’t know what it was about this new side that Kaiba was showing him, but all he knew was that he liked it… a lot!

‘Come on Pup, let’s head out.’ Seto said before standing and slipping his white trench coat on. He then glanced at Jou who was still in the white dress shirt. It was then that he remembered that Jou hadn’t even have a coat on when he had picked him up earlier in the morning.

Without a word Seto headed over to a long closet in the office and popped the door open before pulling out a dark gray trench coat and handing it to Jou. The blonde opened his mouth to say something but Seto simply help up his hand before motioning towards the door. Jou simply bowed his head in a show to thanks before following the taller teen out of the office. Mitsuki watched them go and as soon as they were out of sight, she picked up the phone.

‘Get ready, they are leaving the office now.’ she said simply before hanging up the phone and going back the few papers that were on her desk.

Jou was expecting to he hauled off to some restaurant for lunch, so he was more than shocked at finding a pizza waiting for them in the limo. He gave Seto a questioning looked and the brunet shrugged before handing a slice to the blonde.

‘We have some much more important matters to attend to.’ He said before signaling the driver to go.

Jou watched out the window as he ate curious as to where Seto was taking him to. He couldn’t imagine what Seto would need him for outside of the office and was surprised when the car parked out front of a nice sized house which was right next door to what he knew to be Kaiba’s home. It was then that Jou noticed the ’Sold’ sign out front and he caught sight of an at home nursing van. As soon as he did, his eyes bugged out of his head and he rushed from the car. He ran in through the open front door and started to tear through the house.

Right away he noticed that things from his home where now in this house. He spun around quickly as he heard a throat clear. His golden brown eyes locked with Seto’s azure eyes and he could find not words that would work.

‘Call it a peace offering if you will.’ Seto said before motioning Jou to follow him. The blonde did so and was led down a small hallway to a bedroom on the first floor.

As soon as Jou saw the inside of the room he felt tears come to his eyes. He couldn’t believe it. There in a rather roomy looking new bed lay his father with a nurse taking care of him. Jou couldn’t believe it, how had Seto known? He knew he was going to cry so he turned and walked out into the hallway quickly. Seto watched him go with a puzzled look on his face.

‘Daijobu desu ka(2) Puppy?’ Seto asked looking the blonde over quickly.

‘Hai, it’s… I… how da hell did ya know?!’ Jou almost shouted at the brunette. Seto smirked slightly.

‘Easy, I played detective last night.’ he said. At this Jou’s eyes went wide.

‘I was right someone was at the window! It was you! I’ll never be able to pay you for any of this.’ Jou said sadly.

Seto quickly laid a hand on Jou’s shoulder causing the blonde to look up at him. Seto saw the tears that were threatening to fall and wanted to stop them where they were.

‘You don’t have to pay me. I needed to do this, almost as much as you needed it to be done.’ Seto said simply hoping that Jou wasn’t going to fight with him on this.

‘You’re lucky I’m overwhelmed, tired, and in no mood to argue.’ Jou said quickly. Seto almost laughed at the statement but managed to keep control of himself.

‘Take the rest of the day and get some sleep. You’re no good to me half awake.’ Seto said before heading for the door.

He had just stepped outside when he was quickly turned around and pulled into a surprisingly deep kiss. As soon as it ended Seto found himself looking at a shocked and almost scared looking Jou.

‘Gomen nasi... I sho...’ Seto shut him up by giving him a small kiss and pulling away.

‘Sayonara Puppy.’ he said simply before heading back towards the limo.

Jou watched as Seto slipped into the limo, then he continued to watch the limo until he could not longer see it from his new front porch. He did this all without even realizing that he was being watched himself.
