To angelkohaku- Since I cant e-mail you, Ill have to do this on here. ^^ About the questions you had for the story and things, Im here to answer them. I read through it, and the questions you had were really good. ^^ About the original character; shes not going to be one of those Mary Sues, dont worry. I know most of them dont work out, but Ive got plans for her that I think will make people like her. Shes not going to be in a romantic situation with Jounouchi or at least shes not now. ^^
Yes, I do proof read my work, but sometimes I still do miss things. Yes, it does come from getting excited. ^^
And when Hirutani was with Jounouchi at the end that you were asking me about, it was a flashback, but I forgot to include the thing telling you it was. And they were at the warehouse that they live in. Im AM going to include a lot of Jounouchis past life, so those chapters that you wanted, they are coming, its just going to be included w/ the present. I know, confusing, but it will all make sense when you read it. ^^
Thanks so much for the review!! I just wanted to explain everything to you. I was going to e-mail you, but you didnt have an e-mail address :( So, I had to do this one here. ^^
ANYWAY! Heres the second chap, I hope you guys like it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jounouchi woke the next morning, trying to shake the dream out of his head. It had been a long time since he had dreamed of the gang and a REALLY long time since he had dreamed of her. Climbing out of bed, he wondered how long it had been since he had seen her.
Her name was Setsuko and she had been one of two females in the gang. Hired by Hirutani to help the males in ways only women could she had entered the gang as a sweet girl, not known what she was getting into. The last time he had seen her, she had completely changed in both looks and personality. She was a favorite among the guys, all of them trying to get her to sleep with them, but usually she would just smile and continue on with what she had been doing before. She was a virgin and she wasnt planning on giving that up any time soon.
Jounouchi and Setsuko had become fast friends, sharing everything with one another. He was the only person she would take commands from, refusing to be a slave to anyone, even Hirutani, who had more than one time griped her out for it. She had constantly tried talking to Jounouchi into quitting the gang. She had told him he could be so much more if he would just stop hitting the streets, but he had never listened to her.
I wonder where she is now... Jounouchi thought, pulling on his hooded sweatshirt. Today was Sunday and after what he had gone through at work the day before, he was glad it was. No work on Sunday, no threat of punks coming in and threatening to kill him.
Bakura had helped him home, despite the deep gash in his side. He had simply led him to his house, walked him inside despite his fathers drunken blabbering and laid him on the bed, telling him he would see him soon. One thing he liked about Bakura, he didnt ask too many questions and when he did, it was important. Thankfully, this wasnt one of those times.
He met Honda, Yuugi, and Anzu at Burger World, thankful for the company of good friends. Honda had noticed the slightly pale look on Jounouchis face, looking at him with questioning eyes.
But Jounouchis eyes didnt answer back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come ON, Anzu!! How many times do you get to see something like that?! Anzu, Im going to KILL you!!
Yuugi laughed as Jounouchi preceded to try and strangle the brunette haired girl, shaking her slightly, but playfully. It seemed as though his best friend had cheered up slightly through the day and it was a good thing. Jounouchi was a kind of person who would walk in a room and immediately light it up. Yuugi had been told by Honda that there had been a time when Jounouchi had been a different person altogether. Moody, sarcastic, and a bully, he wasnt someone that many people had wanted to be around, much less deal with.
But Yuugi had hardly been able to imagine hsi best friend being anything but a all out goofball. Sure, he still had his temper that wasnt very hard to bring out, but for the most part, Jounouchis life and personality had done a 180.
Finally tired of hearing Jounouchi and Anzu bicker, he smiled up at them. Okay you two. Enoughs enough.
Jounouchi pouted slightly, moving away from Anzu. Aww! But I was winning!
Anzu grinned at him, winking down at Yuugi. You wish, Jou. She ducked as a playful punch came her way.
Turning the corner, Yuugi could hear something like fighting, but it wasnt the playful type of fighting Anzu and Jounouchi had been involved in. This was a fight, and a serious one by the sound of it.
Jounouchi and Honda both stopped, hearing it as well. Both turned and grinned at one another, their eyes shifting towards the sounds. Honda.....you thinking what Im thinking?
The brunette nodded, both moving towards the wall, sneaking in to get a better look at the fight. Yuugi and Anzu simply waited, used to their friends fighting habits by now.
But something was different this time; when Honda and Jounouchi saw their fight, Jounouchi stopped dead. He went slightly pale, his brown eyes wondering around, seemingly searching for a place to run. Guys....lets get out of here.
Honda looked dumbfounded for a second, but took one look at the teens down the ally and nodded. Hes right...lets go. With that, both Jounouchi and Honda took off, walking as fast as their legs would take them without causing a scene.
Yuugi and Anzu looked at one another, confused on Honda and Jounouchis behavior. Looking curiously at Honda he heard him softly mutter Hirutani. Yuugi nodded, understanding now why Jou had flipped out like he did. From what Yuugi had observed, Jounouchi was trying everything he could manage to rid himself of his former life. Except for the fighting. Yuugi thought with a smile.
Deciding to change the subject, he smiled up at Jounouchi. Hey, have you seen that new movie thats come out? Grandpa took me to see it the other day. Its really good!
The blondes face broke into a grin, shaking his head. Naw, I havent been able to go see it. Between Dad, work, and school, lifes been quite busy. He ran a hand through his hair, sighing. I need to get a life. He grinned wider.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sighing as she messed up on the same thing for the third time, a teenager girl finally threw her pencil down, leaning back into her chair. If only she could get her mind straight, she could get this problem right. Math had never been her strong subject, and today it was even worse.
Setsuko Namasaki threw rose from her chair, pacing the room. It had been a hard last week, her past life coming back to haunt her. Old gang members from the old group she had used to hang with had been knocking on her door for the past week, begging her to come back, even threatening her. She had refused, shutting the door in each of their faces, hearing them scream and yell behind her.
Setsuko knew why they wanted her back. It was Jounouchi. After he had walked out, every one of them had wanted him dead and now they were finally playing out their plans.
She would warn him, but she hadnt talked to him since middle school. Word had it that he had finally become friends with Hiroto Honda, a boy that had been trying to be friends with Jounouchi since he had first met him. Setsuko had never seen anything wrong with Honda, but Jounouchi just didnt think he was cool enough for him as he had told her once. And besides, he had said I hang with the gang. Hes not in it, and Hirutani wouldnt accept him.
He was closest to her, always telling her secrets that he wouldnt have DARED shared with someone else. When he came back to the warehouse covered in cuts and bruises, it would always be her that helped him stop bleeding. They had much in common. His father was an alcoholic; her mother was a drug addict. They drew strength from each others weaknesses. He had only considered her a friend though, while she had thought of him as so much more.
But the fight was the last time she had seen him. They had stayed friends for a little while after he had left the gang, keeping him up on the activities and warning him when they were about to strike. But the last day of middle school, he had suddenly turned very vicious.
*****************************
(Flashback)
Youre a hypocrite, you know?
Setsuko turned to Jounouchi, confused on what he was talking about. The day had been perfect so far. It was the last day of school, everyone seemed happy. But as she talked to him as she normally did, it seemed the more she said, the more his temper flared. What do you mean?
I find it so funny that you pressed me SO hard to get out of that lifestyle, and I finally did, taking your advice and almost getting, and still MAY, myself killed in the process. Jounouchi snapped. But yet, youre still in it. Whats up with that, Setsuko?
She sighed, not wanting to get into this. Ive told you once before, Jounouchi. You have a better future than I will ever have. Youre extremely smart if you would just apply yourself! You can go somewhere, be someone!
Bullshit. He spat, glaring down at her. Thats bullshit and you know it. You have a future, we both do. Youre is in acting or something of that sorts, mines on the streets.
Thats what Im trying to tell you Jounouchi! she yelled, glaring right back at him. Your life ISNT the streets, it so much more! If only I could convince you of that, my life would be complete, but you are so STUBBORN. When are you going to get that chip off your shoulder that youre the king of the earth and start LISTENING to people!
Thats it.
Huh?
Ive had enough. he said, picking up his walking pace. Im not listening to you anymore, Setsuko. Ive had enough of you griping at me about every little thing in my life and Im not taking it anymore. Have a good life, have a fun time with the gang, but Im leaving it.
***************************
Setsuko sighed again, leaning against the wall. Seeing the phone next to her, she reached down and picked it up. Taking a deep breath, she placed a call to Domino High School. Yes, I would like to ask about transferring....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New student, whats up with that?
Honda shrugged, placing his books in his locker. Not sure. She supposedly from some school near here. Not sure what its called though....I wonder if shes pretty.
Jounouchi snorted, whacking his friend playfully on the arm. Trust you to only care about her looks. Besides, what happened to Shizuka?
Honda blushed, making the fact known that he still hadnt given up on winning Jounouchis baby sisters heart. I still like her, but I dont think shes really taking to me. Shes too stuck on that jerk, Kaiba. Seriously, what does she see in him?
Money, thats what.
Both jumped, turning around to see Seto Kaiba standing behind them, an amused look on his face. A new girl you say, huh? I saw her in the office, shes supposed to be pretty cool.
Hondas confused eyes shifted over to Jounouchi, wondering to himself why Kaiba would be talking to them of all people in the world. His eyes got even wider when Jounouchi instantly replied.
Oh really? Did you get her name?
Seto nodded slightly, starting on his way towards the classroom. Said her name is Setsuko. Didnt catch the other part. He looked curiously at Jounouchi when the blondes face went slightly pale. What, you know her?
Shaking his head, Jounouchi closed his eyes, praying that his friends wouldnt let him smack into a wall. No, but I did know a girl named Setsuko at one time. We had a big blow out fight though and havent talked in about three years.
I see..... Seto said, thinking it over. Well, maybe you should start. Lifes short. I unfortunately found this out this summer.
Jounouchi smiled, remembering Setos brush with death and the fact of almost losing Mokuba to a car accident. I might take that advice, thanks. As he left Seto at his first hour class, he purposely ignored Hondas curious look. What?!
So you and Kaiba are friends now, huh?
I guess you could say that. Jounouchi replied, blushing slightly. We talked out our differences, so to speak. We actually have quite a bit in common, its scary. He walked in the door, stopping dead at the site of the girl sitting on the desk next to his.
Red hair fell to her waist, curling at the ends and green eyes stared curiously back at his. About mediam hight, she stood to face a person she hadnt seen in three and a half years. Hello Katsuya.
Dropping his bag to the floor, a slight mummer of Setsuko he felt himself run across the room, hugging the girl. Oh my God, Setsuko, where did you COME from?!
She pulled herself away, giggling at the site of Honda at the door, staring dumbfounded. I came to see you. And since I threw everything away that ever had to do with you, I didnt have your phone number. But a little searching proved that you still went to Domino High, so I transferred myself here.
Yourself?
Mom died last year. I live at home by myself now. She shrugged.
By yourself.... Jounouchi whispered, aware that everyone was staring at him now. Then that means..... Brown eyes going wide, he grinned. You LEFT!!!
Hirutani got to me, and I finally got the courage to leave like you did. Setsuko said, smiling up at him. I thought a lot about what you said that day, and I realized that you were right. I was a hypocrite.
Hugging his long lost friend, Jounouchi was the happiest he had been in a long time....
