Seto Plushie: It looks like it's just me posting. Jams got a review from someone who shall remain nameless that she was a Mary-Sue so she's locked herself in the bathroom. Luckily she wrote this before she read that review. Mutt and that little imp, Yugi, are trying to get her to emerge, but I don't see that happening for a while. So I'm the one typing this up and answering some reviewers' questions.
Shadow Cat- It is an AU yet it isn't at the same time. Don't ask me what Jams meant by that, I have no idea!
Jei- Jams said that her side comments help her express herself. ::shrug::
SethGodOfWind- Jams said she's glad you liked it and she really likes your story "Shards of a Shattered Life" She said the poem was a stroke of genius.
Jou-Pup- Yes Jams got the idea from the Sailor Moon Hearts In Ice movie. She said it was "uber cute, but I perfer Promise of the Rose." and that she could just picture me saying the "ice cream cone" line. I told her "Not on your life!"
Dragon and Yami Dragon- Jams and Yugi said Yami Dragon gets no more sugar because we seem to get free cattle (Yami Dragon has a cow) when she's sugar high. And you'll just have to wait on the citris, but Jams has threatened not to write one after the Mary-Sue comment. Don't worry, the pup will talk her out of that. And she said she's not dissing Tristan. She thinks he reminds her of Brock. Says the poor guy's never going to get laid. And if she goes out with him it will make her a Mary-Sue.
RavenWings- The sugar free cookies are for Yami Dragon, not you! And don't hug or kiss me anymore!
Anyway the same disclaimer applies, of course. So deal with it! If I'm not mistaken, this chapter is, as Yugi puts it, "Fluffy like 3 Musketeers." meaning I'm in for some torture. I'm beginning to think fluff is all Jams can write, but she may prove us all wrong yet. Also there are a few lines from a song in this chapter. None of us can remember the name of it or who sings it.... Or even the story it came from, but we want to give credit where it's due. Well I'm beat. That's the most I've ever had to say in the opening A/N. On to the story.

Chapter 5
I Never Knew
Seto was getting a bit concerned. Joey had been avoiding him, shooting him hurt or angered looks throughout the day. At the last bell, the blonde walked out the door, putting Jams between the two of them, unbeknownest to the young lady. the glare Seto recieved at the moment almost screamed, 'I dare you to follow me.' The brunette decided it best to give joey some time to cool down, even if it meant staying 'grounded' for the next few days.
So for the rest of the week, Seto threw himself head first into his work, ignoring the puppy and his friends. The exception was Jams, who would give him a civil "Hello" when they passed in the hall.
On Friday, the CEO decided to persue the blonde, and he found him napping beneath the same tree where the two had first 'taken flight' nearly a week before.
"Hey, Pup," he said casually, "I figured I'd find you snoozing here.
Joey cracked an eye open.
"I'm not really in the mood for insults today, Kaiba."
"I'm not here to insult you. Do you mind if I sit down?" he asked.
"Sure, go ahead," was the reply, "It's a free country."
Seto didn't like the blondes tone, but sat down next to him anyway.
"Tell me what I've done that has you so angry with me, Pup."
"Well, calling me 'Pup' for one thing," Joey said angrily.
Seto smirked a bit, "consider it more of a pet name instead of an insult.
At that, Joey's gaze softened a bit, then his eyes narrowed again.
"You don't seem to want to take love seriously. You don't take me seriously it seems," he continued, "Those comments you said back in the classroom that day."
The brunette sighed.
"I was always told that love wasn't worth feeling. I've never really known true love before. Maybe Taylor's right. I AM a stick in the mud."
"But you're so clean!" Joey said with a grin. The blonde seemed to have forgiven him already.
Seto gave a small, light hearted laugh, a genuine laugh, something he had not done in years.
"Disagreeing with me when I put myself down."
"Jams insists I do it for her, so why not?"
They laughed again, then fell into a comfortable silence. Joey yawned and closed his eyes, leaning on Seto's shoulder with a sigh. They sat like that for a long time until the faint sounds of light snoring reached the brunette's ears. It appeared that the pup had fallen asleep.
Seto situated the two of them carefully so the blonde's head was resting on his lap.
'When he does fall asleep, he looks like a sweet little child....'
The CEO brushed a few stray loks from Joey's forehead and began to sing the only lines he remembered from a song he had heard as a child.
"Surely everyone wants to hold forever in their hand
Don't worry if I act like I don't care
You know I love you
Let's escape the endless darkness
Hold your hand..."
He ran a finger over the blonde's plush lips, eliciting a soft sigh from the sleeping boy.
'What's come over me? I've never felt this way before. Could this be what love feels like?'
It was getting dark, and Seto didn't want to leave Joey behind. He called for a limo to meet them, and then scooped the blonde up, cradling him gently in his arms.
The ride to the Kaiba mansion was a short one, and when they arrived, Seto carried the pup up to his room.
Mokuba was sitting on the brunette's bed reading an encylopedia. He looked up when the door opened, revealing the elder Kaiba with one Jou-pup in his arms. (Seto Plushie: Insert Jams' Jou-pup comment here. ::smirk::)
"Follow you home, Seto?" the younger asked with a grin.
Seto smiled and set Joey on the bed, the turned to ruffle his little brother's hair.
When the CEO sat, Mokuba bounded into his lap.
"I looked up 'ohana' today."
The two had a game they would play. Seto would think of a word in another language and Mokuba would look up the meaning.
"And?"
"It's Hawaiian for 'family'," the shorter beamed, "We're an ohana aren't we, Seto?"
"Yes," Seto agreed, "but now it's time for this ohana to go to bed."
"Can I sleep in here?"
"Of course you can little brother." (Seto Plushie: Get your minds out of the gutter right now! I do NOT have sex with my little brother! ::huffs::)
Mokuba grinned and curled up next to Joey. Seto flipped off the bedside lamp, kicked off his shoes, and laid down, pulling the covers over the three of them.
"Night, Seto."
"Goodnight, Mokuba."
'Goddnight. my dear Pup. I hope you sleep well and dream of dragons.'
And soon Seto joined Joey in that place where dreams are made.

Chibi Yugi Plushie: She has emerged!! Yay!! ^.^ ::gives cookies to all the nice reviewers::
Jams: Thanks for helping me post Seto.
Seto Plushie: Yeah yeah. You owe me big time for this. You made me such a softie!
Jams: I wasn't the first and I won't be the last.
Neko Jounouchi: Admit it Seto!
Seto Plushie: Admit what?
