[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

Jounouchi became enchanted by Kaiba's touch, he would just as easily become an addict of such affection as he was for the guy himself. Grinding Kaiba's lean body against his more viciously, putting so much friction next to smooth hot skin, drove the two mad. Kaiba went so far as to quickly grabbed Jou's rear, firmly squeezing a cheek in his hand; drawing a soft moan from his dance partner.

Despite how absolutely blissful Jou's moans were, Kaiba silenced the boy with a kiss. Unlike before, his lips pressed desperately to Jounouchi's, overlapping and devouring the soft folds of skin. The blonde just as passionately returned the kiss, presenting a battle for dominance as they still danced. Kaiba, of course, won the dispute with his eager tongue often groping Jou's. But time only prevented them to kiss for so long without air. Both were panting fast after drawing apart, and began to sweat bullets, as Jounouchi snaked his fingers through Kaiba's hair. He got shivers and prickling goose bumps every time his angel touched him. The brunet was furious with himself for ever having hidden his feelings before, by playing the cruel admirer, but now he could be satisfied with Jou returning his feelings.

Kaiba's hand urgently went for the hem of his love's shirt and skillfully lifted it above his head. "I will make you mine Jou..." He moaned seductively into the other's ear, his hands slipping down the perfectly sculpted form to the bands of his pants. Slowly he started tug the fabric down the other's legs until...

"Jou! Get your lazy butt up, you are going to be late for school!" Mr. Katsuya's voice roared from just down the hall. His volume immediately forced Jou from his dreaming as he shot up in bed frantically.

"What the-?!" He gasped. He quickly cupped his head and groaned distastefully. Surely there had to be a better way to wake in the morning. Jou pushed back his hair and grew frustrated with the realization that I had all been a dream. "Damn it. There's something wrong with me." He whined. Since when was Seto Kaiba haunting his very dreams?

Ever since the first day he met the guy, he had been plagued with these annoying illusions. Though it had only been two days since their last meeting, there hadn't been a moment Jou didn't think about the brunet. Before he was convinced it was just form his child like admiration for his new 'friend', though there was no sign that Kaiba thought of him as a friend in return. But he was now clear they these dreams portrayed a deeper relationship than friendship. As much as Jou hated to admit it, he might actually like Seto. But the last he checked, he had the hots for girls, so why the sudden change?

"Jounouchi! Get out of bed!" His father yelled the next moment, quickly startling the boy as he jumped right of bed.

It was obvious he didn't have the time to worry about that at the moment. But he was sure this wouldn't be the end of his dreams. He occasionally daydreamed in class, which was sure to bring forth the thoughts again, though against his will.

Swiftly he made his way to his closet and rummaged through his clothes, throwing the unnecessary clothing around the room. He eventually found his blue uniform for school and didn't bother to brush his teeth as he horridly pulled the pants over his clean boxers and rushed out the door as he pulled on his shirt and coat. He zoomed down the flight of stairs leading to his untidy apartment room and through the front entrance. He would have to make a quick shortcut along the way if he hoped to get to class on time.

But Jounouchi saw no point in going to class today. Truth was he had stayed home those two days he got back, simply because he wasn't ready to face the world again after his realization. He had stay in bed most of that time, and it was kind of his dad to call the school and tell them he was sick. Of course he did get a severe lecture about his absence about the day he spent went Kaiba, but Jou had long ago master the art of tuning out his dad. His only thing to fear was the millions of questions his friends were sure to ask him.

"Jou, where have you been?!" Honda asked hysterically. He quickly took his seat beside this best friend at the cafe table. He had been dying to ask all day as they sat in class, but he never got opportunity until now.

"Yeah, Jounouchi, you've missed three days of school. We were beginning to think you were kidnapped or killed." Anzu explain, her eyes twisted with worry and relief. It was hard for her to keep everyone in line when they were going crazy over Jou's disappearance. And she liked having things under control.

Yugi, unlike the rest, was simply at ease because he knew Jounouchi was alright and safe. So he didn't bombard his dear friend with countless un answerable questions.

Jou sighed, how was he going to start this unfortunate tale. "Well I kinda got wasted at the club." He chuckled, trying to loosen the tense atmosphere. "But some guy helped me out before I could get myself in anymore trouble." He explained.

So far the tale sounded believable if not decent. But of course Honda was a little remorseful for he knew if Otogi hadn't insisted the leave him for a while, then maybe this never would have happened.

"What guy?" Honda asked. At the most he would like to thank the person, unless there was something more Jou was not telling them about this avenger.

Jou wasn't too sure if he should mention Kaiba's name. After all the CEO kept saying if anyone found out his reputation would be tarnished. "He's just some rich guy." He answered back with a nervous, half hearted smile. " He's pretty nice considering I threw up on him, kicked him in the balls and nearly poisoned him." He found himself laughing at the incidents two days ago. He was still surprised how kind Seto had been to him after all that. Any one else would have left him back on the streets or done him in themselves.

Jou stopped laughing long enough to notice the sudden silence among the gang. He looked around the table and was baffled by everyone's expression. As if they were all worried over something they knew that he didn't.

"Um...Jou, did this guy by chance take you home?" Anzu asked carefully.

Jou's eyes widened, surely they didn't think Kaiba was only nice to him because he got 'something' he wanted. "Well yeah, cause I passed out, but nothing happened if that’s what you're thinking." He quickly interjected. "He's not like that!" Jou tried to portray sincerity but it was hard when his friends were so skeptical of the situation at hand.

"Well if you are sure this guy isn't a predator Jou." Yugi replied, also trying his best to so understanding of the blonde's words.

But just as Jounouchi was about to thank his accepting friend, a furious blur came rushing over to the group. Their eyes quickly snapped onto the foaming raven haired Dungeon Dice Master.

"Someone's out to fucking get me!" He yelled. Other eyes were drawn to the disturbing scene as the male slammed his fist onto the cafe table.

"Otogi-koi what's wrong?" Honda asked. He couldn't help but worry over his boyfriend's unusual anger. Few things were able to make Otogi mad, he was usually so calm and collect about things. But it must have been bad if he was this frustrated.

"I'll tell you what's fucking wrong. Some prissy asshole frozen all of my accounts, rigged my stocks, paid off my driver to not drive me, not to mention the entire limo service. And to top that, all the stuff in my house miraculously vanished because my security system was cut off." Otogi hissed, his eyes gleaming with death and destruction. Even his breathing was slow and ragged as if he was ready to pounce on the next moving thing.

"Who in the world would do all that?!" Honda gasped. He knew Otogi was a pretty ruthless guy in business but he never thought his rivals would go so far as to ruin his entire life. "What did you do?"

"Absolutely nothing. I swear this has to all be some sick joke. I want to see the TV cameras now!" He demanded, flopping down into an empty seat roughly. He crossed his arms, and the gang was sure they had saw the flowers wilt wherever he looked.

"So you down have a place to stay and the money to get a new one?" Honda asked worriedly. "You can stay with me until this whole thing blows over." He assured his lover, placing his had comfortingly on Otogi's shoulder. "I'm sure its just a technical error, banks mess up all the time and so do stocks. And your security was liable to fail." Honda surely explained, confident in his own understanding.

Huffing, and seemingly giving into the other's words, Otogi I finally took a deep breath. "You may be right. But I'm still going to check this all out and find who is screwing me over. Someone with serious connections and a lot of money is responsible for this." He sneered. There were plenty successful businesses here, but only one person who could do all of this in the course of two days if not shorter. But why would 'he' do this? It couldn't be. Surely Kaiba wasn't that angry for him not making time for him.

Jounouchi for one, wasn't all too interested in Otogi's complaining. His mind tended to drift off to a subject he had nearly neglected this morning. The promise of coming over to Kaiba's again was still fresh on his mind. But he had yet to see the brunet again and he had no idea where Kaiba lived. Jou cursed the fact he didn't take notes when he had the chance, but he was tired or either drunk.

Sighing softly, Jou pressed his chin into the palm of his hand as he rested his elbow on the table. Yugi was the only one to notice Jou's eyes had not been so intensely staring at Otogi in his ranting. "Jou, is something wrong?" he asked softly, not wanting to draw the attention of the others.

Quickly be drawn from his thoughts, Jou looked toward Yugi nervously. "Oh, nah, I'm fine. Just thinking." He explained. He gave a small smile and stood up from his seat. "I might head on home now." He excused himself from the table and headed for the table. Just as he made his way to the side walk, he surprised to find his shorter friend following quickly behind.

"Jou, you can tell me," Yugi replied. "I know it's about him, right?"

Honey colored eyes widened and Jou jerked his head away to hide the sudden blush rushing to his cheeks. Why the hell was he blushing?! Yugi had only said he was thinking about him, he didn't know exactly what though. Jou slowly nodded, until he forced himself to speak. "Yeah, actually it is. I think something's wrong with me Yug."

"Why?" Came the soft voice of his beloved best friend.

"I-i...dream about this guy. And it's not the normal stuff. And whenever I'm not busy with something I go back to thinking about him. It's weird, I've only none him a day, but I don't want to forget him. I was actually hoping to see him again soon." Jou admitted. His palms awkwardly felt sweaty now and his throat had long ago went dry. It baffled the sandy blonde on how he grew so nervous just speaking about Kaiba, yet when he was really around the male he felt so at ease.

Yugi's sudden laughter is all it took to draw back Jou's normally defensive and impulsive side as he raised his fist. "Calm down Jou, there's nothing wrong with you. I think you just have a crush." He laughed.

"A crush?!" Jou burst out. "But we are both dudes!" Was his immediate answer. "I'm not gay Yug!"

"I never said you were, but a crush is a crush." Yugi stopped his chuckling and didn't use much of an effort to show his sincere side again. "I think it's cool you finally find someone you like. At least you've gone out of your older women stage." Yugi smiled. "Mai was a nice girl but is on the road too much. That's not quite requirements of a stable relationship. And this guy did save you right?" Jou nodded, his eyes big and clueless. "Well that means he liked you enough to help you out. And if he let you stay over than maybe he can actually put up with your whimsical personality."

"Thanks Yug, I think you might be right." A warm, confident smile spread to Jou's lips. "Maybe it would work out, but I'm still not gay." Jou made sure to add the last part before Yugi could say it.

"Great, well I probably should be heading back to Grandpa's shop and help close for the night." Yugi implied his farewell. "I'll see you at school tomorrow, so keep safe walking home."

"Don't worry about me." Jou laughed as he waved his friend off. Reluctant as he was to going home, he thought it was better than listening to Otogi ramble on and on about his own misfortunes when everyone else wasn't as rich as him.

Heedless and carefree, Jou walked down the newly darkened sidewalks. Night was beginning to set in and all the street lights were just starting to cut on. This night was usually unfortunate, considering night is when Domino City lost most of its charm and safety. Jounouchi stepped more frequently ahead, keeping his eyes in front of him so not to run into any trouble. Though he was more concerned with Yugi's condition, after all anyone would mistake him for a child and target him.

But Jou regretted that thought immediately as he suddenly found himself jerked into an alleyway. He hadn't the time to say a word before a pair of arms pinned him to the brick wall just behind. "Hand over your money punk!" Came a horse, almost slurred yell.

Despite the uncomfortable bruising he was developing from the hard grip, Jou cringed his nose in reaction to another pain. "Why? For you can by yourself a Tic-Tac?" He answered back in disgust.

"Cut the wise cracks kid, or else we'll get rough with you." the man threatened. Him and his partner tightened their hold, pushing Jou farther into the hard wall.

"Lucky me." Jou smiled. "I ain't got no money on me. You gonna knock me unconscious now? It'll sure as hell save me from your bad breath." He teased. Even during times like these, Jou had encouraged himself through tricks and jokes. How else was he expected to survive a whole like this? Might as well take the pain like a man and make fun of it while you do.

"Why you-?!" As much as Jou would have liked to have kept his impassive charade, he was able to keep from gasping in pain as the man's fist thrust itself into his gut. He cringed forward, almost stumbling out of the man's arms. "Want some more? Or are you finally going to play nice?" Came the assured cackling of his assaulter.

Jou sneered angrily and did the only thing he knew possible with his arms pinned. He shoved his knee into the other man's balls. Thanks to Kaiba, he knew his aim was pretty decent and his attack was effective. His attacked stammered back a few steps, his hands cupping the aching flesh.

"You fucking brat!" The other male yelled. He threw Jou to the other wall so that he was now behind him. "You're going to pay for that!" He grabbed Jou's head and slammed it into the other brick wall, ignoring the loud screams erupting from the boy. Jou winced, mainly because the blood from his injured fore head was running over his eyes. But he wasn't given the chance to wipe it away before he was pulled right back and punched in the face.

Jou was quickly kicked to the ground. His beating had allowed his first attacker time enough to recover and now he joined in on the fun. They both rapidly started stumping on Jou's stomach. His cries for help meant nothing to them, but wad heard none the less.

As if some angel finally answered his prays, the two men were suddenly forced aside. Jou couldn't clearly see with his blurry vision and through the darkness, and his ears were ringing from the head trauma. He laid there almost unconscious as he could feel the ground beneath him rattling with footsteps, three pairs of feet.

"Jou!" He vaguely heard his name as the ringing slowly faded. That voice almost sounded familiar. "Damn it, I’ll take you to the hospital." Came a frustrated, yet panting voice.

Jou's head bobbled to the side as his almost motionless form was swept up into strong, recognizable arms. He forced his weary eyes to look up at the man who had no doubly saved...again. "Seto?" He whispered weakly.

How could he forget that silky, straight brown hair? Or the perfect figures in his face. The gorgeous sapphire eyes were all too familiar, yet Jou had never recalled seeing them this sad looking.

Kaiba shuffled back into his limousine and ordered his driver to take them to the hospital quickly. He cradled the nearly unconscious boy in his arms, worry filling him. If not for his recognizing Jou's yells from inside his car, he would have just looked over the person getting beat to death. He nearly cursed himself for thinking about driving away. Had he learned nothing from the last time he helped someone? That the person he helped was actually someone he found himself caring for without guilt of duty.

"You are always getting yourself in trouble you idiot." Kaiba moaned. He brushed back the damp, blood stained hair just before pressing his lips softly to Jou's forehead. "I won't let you out of my sight again, I promise." He whispered. At the moment it seemed like the perfect thing to say, but inside he knew it was the first time he felt like this for anyone other than Mokuba. The thought made him scared....had he changed completely?

"I-I'm fine...really..." Jou struggled to say, his eyes still closed peacefully as if he were asleep. "My head only hurts."

"Are you kidding me?! They beat the crap out of you, you're going to the hospital." Seto hissed. There was no way he was going to let Jou die because of his own stupidity. It was no longer his decision if he should go or not, since it was his own stupid fault for getting into this in the first place.

"But..."

"No buts." Kaiba interjected sternly. "What were you thinking?! You know how dangerous the allies can be at night. You should have been going home."

"I was..." Jou wasn't much in the mood for arguing, so he would answer Kaiba best he could. But he wasn't even sure if his words were coming out as he had thought them up in his head. So maybe he did take a pretty bad beating, but he use to be in his own gangs until he met Yugi, why hadn't he been use to it yet?

"You are hopeless." Seto sighed. "I swear if I hadn't seen you naked myself, I would have thought you were a girl." He managed to joke, though his voice had the tone of a serious statement.

Jou, being the jumpy, opposing teen he was, thought Kaiba had meant it. "Shut up! I am not!" He shouted, at least he thought he was shouting it. it was a surprise he even heard Kaiba's reply, much less understand it. If not for him being conscious this very moment he would have been sure all his blood was spilling into his head, making it all the more harder to think.

"Oh really?" Kaiba chuckled. "That's pretty hard to believe. You are like the world's easiest push over pansy." He chuckled. Despite how cruel it sounded, Kaiba was really trying to help lighten the mood. But he only succeeded in making Jou blush.

"I'm no pansy! Just cause I like you doesn't mean I'm a queer!" Jou blurted out. Unfortunately those were the only words he caught himself saying and instantly regretted them. His hands flew over to cup his mouth and he turned his head away from Kaiba. "I didn't mean it like that!" He quickly commented. Oh, how he wished he just let himself fall unconscious. Maybe Kaiba would believe it was his head injury that made him say that.

Jou highly doubted it; Kaiba wasn't gullible like him. But Kaiba was easy to anger and upset. And surely being liked by some low class male, would be all too insulting for him. Jounouchi pictured himself being shoved out of the other's lap and into the street while the car was still running. Surprisingly...there was only silence in the room.

Nervously and cautiously, Jou lifted one eye and turned it toward Kaiba. He found himself opening both eyes as he didn't see an angry glare on the CEO's face just a stunned emptiness. Maybe if he was lucky, he could get Kaiba to think he was joking.

"You like me?" Seto repeated, coming out of his daze.

Damn! No such luck for Jou. He timidly nodded. "Well, at least I think I do." He mumbled. This had to be the most embarrassing moment of his entire life. "Are you mad?" Jou willed himself to say. At the that moment, Jou's heart fluttered. Kaiba was actually smiling! At him!

Kaiba shook his head. "I'm not mad." He chuckled. "Just rather shocked...I thought you would hate me."

"Why would I do that? You've only been kind to me." Jou explained. This sounded almost too good to be true. Kaiba wasn't mad with him?! After all he had done to him, and the CEO wasn't offended by his confession?! He had to be in a deadly sleep from his head trauma. Heaven would not be so kind to him after letting him get attacked.

"Well...just about everyone hates me." Kaiba explained, his smile widening. "But I'm really glad you don't. It means I might actually stand a chance."

"What?!" Jou burst out again. So Kaiba liked him too?! "No way?! Stop making fun of me!" Jou demanded, sticking out his tongue. Though he regretted that as well, for he could taste his own blood that was dripping from his head.

Kaiba laughed more. He sat Jou up a little more so their heads were closer together. "As much as I would love to tell you I was, I can't. Sure I thought about what I promised you, and then I thought why should I bother letting you come over again. You're nothing but trouble." He gave a mischief smile. "But then I couldn't stop thinking about you."

He thought himself fortunate for getting what thought was most important done. His revenge on Otogi, and the best part was, his little cheating boyfriend wasn't even sure it was him. Though he was hoping to rub it in his face later.

"Really?" Jounouchi asked, doubtful of Kaiba's words. Why should he believe Kaiba now of all times? If it was all a joke, these newly blossomed feelings would tare him apart.

"Yes, really." Seto flicked the other's nose. "So even when your gone, your a pain in my ass. But..." He leaned forward and slowly pressed his lips on the softly trembling pink ones belonging to his blond angle. It was a chaste kiss, but that was only right from someone who probably couldn't even feel it at the moment. "I rather have you be around and be a pain in the ass."

"What are you saying then?" He had to be sure, Kaiba was saying what he thought he was saying. Jou started repeating a hopeful mantra of chants in his head just for luck.

"I'm saying I want you with me you idiot. I want you to be mine." Seto said slowly, making sure this would stick in Jou's head if nothing else.
