Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ It Started With Snow ❯ part 2 ( Chapter 2 )

It Started With Snow

Well, I've gotten another chapter up. I'm hoping this one doesn't turn angsty on me. I'm trying not to hurt Jou in this fic (for some reason as of late, I've taken to hurting the poor boy. *snif*) So, here's the second part.

Legalities: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!. I do not own anything in here outside of the plot.

~previous chapter~

Sitting down beside Jou with a small sigh, "Because. You've got everything Jounouchi. You've got loyal friends, you've got freedom, and you've got a family. I guess it's jealousy." Kaiba looked at his hands that were sitting in his lap.

"Kaiba…I…don't know what to say."

Chuckling a little, "So, the Pup has nothing to say for once."

"You've got everything, though. You're rich, you've got Mokuba, and you've got Kaiba Corp." Jou blurted out.

"I'm also alone. Jou, there's nobody special in my life. Well, Mokuba, but one can be arrested for things like that." Just then, the aforementioned youth came to the door saying the pizza man was there and needed money.

"Come on Jou, we can finish this later." Kaiba stood up and followed Mokuba inside.

~Chapter 2~

Staring after the two, Jou slowly turned the new information over in his head. "I never thought Kaiba of all people would be jealous of ME." That thought alone seemed to have rendered his brain useless as his feet were planted outside the door.

Noticing that the blonde wasn't behind him, Kaiba turned around. "Jounouchi? You coming, or are you going to freeze yourself to death?

"Huh? Yeah…I'm coming." Jou quickly caught up with the two and went to help Mokuba grab some plates and cups for them all.

"I hope you enjoyed ordering this time Mokuba. It was your last time." Kaiba warned his little brother. The blue-eyed teen came in with two pizza boxes and a container of wings.

"But I wasn't sure what anyone wanted!" The younger Kaiba pleaded as he took the wings from the pile.

"Aw, come on Kaiba, at least he was thinking about all of us." Jou helped defend Mokuba.

Opening the pizza, Kaiba took two slices for himself, and handed out two pieces to everyone else all while glaring at the blonde.

After all the dishes had been washed, Mokuba ran off to play something on one of his game systems, leaving Kaiba alone again with Jounouchi.

"You know, it has been a nice day with you here, Jounouchi." Kaiba stated as he led Jou into the living room.

Looking around, Jou saw a few pictures of Mokuba and some were of both boys, strangely, there were none of Kaiba by himself. There were also several pictures of duel monsters all hand drawn decorating the walls. There was one above the black marble fireplace that quickly enthralled Jou. It was A Blue-Eyes White Dragon standing protectively over another dragon. It was Jou's favorite, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. From who it was being defended against wasn't apparent, but something about the Blue-Eyes radiated instant death to any who tried to harm its charge.

"Kaiba…who drew that one?" Jou asked with pure amazement in his voice. "It's beautiful.

"I did." Kaiba said simply. "I don't ONLY run Kaiba Corp. I can do other things."

Jou just stood gazing at the picture. "Kaiba…I understand the Blue-Eyes, but…why Red-Eyes? You don't even use one."

I didn't intend the drawing to be taken at face value." Letting the conversation drop, Kaiba sat down on the couch that was in the center of the room and just admired Jou. "I wish my Puppy would look at me the way he's doing to my drawing." Kaiba thought to himself.

Tearing himself away from the drawing, Jou caught a glimpse out the window. It was snowing hard again and looked like it had been for quite a while. "Great…"he moaned. "I got to go, Kaiba. It's getting deeper by the minute."

Looking at his watch, Kaiba saw it was past 9:30. "Look Jou, there's no school tomorrow and there wouldn't be anyway because of the snow. Stay here tonight and you can go when things have cleared up in the morning. I don't want you getting hurt."

"I can't. I don't have any stuff, and my dad…" Jou trailed off.

"He'll what?" asked the brunette.

"He'll worry. He likes to know where I am…"Jou lied.

Seeing clear through Jou's answer, Kaiba responded. "There are devices out now called telephones. Call your dad and tell him you're here. As for clothes, you can have something of mine."

"Kaiba…I…"

Picking up the nearest phone, Kaiba handed it to the blonde. "Dial it, or I'll get the number for myself and call your father. Either way you're staying."

Jou took the phone, called his house and got the answering machine. Leaving a message for his dad, he hung up. "There, happy now?"

Before he could think, Kaiba answered, "Yes, very much so." then flushed as his words caught up with him. In a pathetic attempt to cover his mistake, he added, "Let's go find you something you like.

Okay, sorry this chapter was so crappy. I'm still trying not to jump to anything. I'd like this to become a decent sized story if I continue getting some type of feedback.

To Star Light Shadow: Thanks for the review. I promise you there will be Seto x Jou. Possibly in the next chapter. At least a little something romantic-ish. =) I promise, this will get better, just stay with me on this.

To Icy: As I said to Star Light, just stay with me. It will get better. And I promise it will get more romantic, too. =) And hyper is a good thing.
