Chapter 11
Mokuba entered the mansion uncertain to how his brother’s night had gone. All he knew was Seto had some business to attend to the night before and he had spent it at a friend’s house. He stood at the bottom of the stairs looking up and frowning hoping his older brother hadn’t had any nightmares. As he was fixing to go upstairs to check on him and to let him know he was home he heard voices drifting down the stairs. ‘Who is Seto talking to?’ He thought. Mokuba ducked into the living room to try and figure out who was there. ‘I know that voice.’ He thought as he listened in. That was when he realized who it was “Jou.” He said the name out loud but not loud enough for anyone to hear him. As he looked around the corner he realized his bag was sitting in the entry way and something else; his brother and Jou where kissing each other. A huge grin came over his face and was about to let them know he was there when he heard his brother “Mokuba I know you’re here.” Reluctantly Mokuba made his entrance with a big smile on his face.
“Hi big brother, hi Jou.” He said with a smirk on his face. “How did you sleep last night anymore nightmares about Jou?”
Jou pulled back looking at Seto “What is he talking about?” Jou asked in a concerned voice.
Seto glared at his brother and then looked at Jou. “I’ve been having these dreams about you now for a couple of months and they have been pretty intense so much so that I haven’t been sleeping well.” Seto confessed.
Jou looked at Seto as well and sighed “Me too, I couldn’t even go back too sleep once I woke up.”
Mokuba was looking back and forth between the two of them and smiled. “Well maybe we can all get some sleep now I hope.” He said.
As Mokuba, Seto and Jou sat down to eat Seto brought up the mess with Otogi and his friends. “You know we’re going to have to address this mess don’t you?” He asked looking to Jou.
Jou nodded and sighed “Yeah I know it’s just that no one really believes me. They say they do but I can see it and hear it in their voices that they have doubts about what is going on. I haven’t mentioned anything about the dreams but I did mention something about the gifts and know they don’t know what all of them are just a couple of them.” Jou said. But as he said this he remembered a couple of times the expressions he had seen in Yugi and Yami’s faces, almost like they believed him. He hoped so as he didn’t want to lose his friends any more than he wanted to lose Seto. Seto thought for a moment and then pulled out his cell phone. Jou looked at him “Who are you calling?” He asked curiously.
Seto looked at him and said “Your friends.” Jou cringed as he wasn’t sure this was a good idea but he had to trust that Seto knew what he was doing. “Hello Yami this is Kaiba I need for you and your group to come over to the mansion but don’t bring Otogi.” Seto paused to listen to something Yami asked him. “I will explain when you get here.” As Seto hung up he saw that Jou looked worried. “Look we have to get this straightened out before it really gets out of hand.” Seto said.
Jou looked at him and nodded “I know but what makes you think they won’t bring Otogi with them?” He asked knowing that they wouldn’t but needing to know anyway.
Seto gave Jou a small smile like he knew what he was thinking but stated “If they do then we just don’t talk to them and confront them when we know they are alone okay.”
Jou nodded and gave him a weak smile just wanting the whole mess to be sorted out. “Okay I just hope you know what you are doing.”
A few hours later Yugi, Yami and Honda along with Ryou and Bakura showed up at the mansion. As they walked in they heard Jou in the living room yelling and Mokuba laughing “That’s no fair you cut me off.” He said.
Mokuba laughed “What I didn’t do anything.” He said in a sweet voice.
Jou just looked at him and said “Rematch.”
Yami walked in and was surprised to see Jou there. “Hello Jou, what are you doing here?” Yami asked looking at the T.V. screen and noticing the game they where playing was ‘Need for Speed: Underground 2’.
Jou looked up “Hi guys I need to talk to you, well me and Seto do.” He said.
Yugi looked at his friend and asked the question everyone was wondering about. “Why didn’t you want Otogi here since this seems to be about him?”
Jou turned to look at him and sighed and shook his head. “Look Otogi has been setting Seto up and making me look like crap. Seto even sent you evidence on it and you still doubt it.”
Honda was staring at Jou as if he was crazy. He had had enough of everyone accusing Otogi of the trouble that Seto was clearly causing. “Kaiba I don’t believe you and on top of that I’m tired of you accusing Otogi of something you are clearly responsible for. And Jou why are you here looking like you are right at home? Man I can’t believe you, you are with the enemy!” Honda said anger in his voice as he looked at Jou hard.
Jou couldn’t believe what he was hearing Honda his oldest friend didn’t even believe him. “Honda it wasn’t Seto it was Otogi, and me and Seto are together.” He said in a quiet and subdued voice hanging his head down not wanting to look at his friends. He missed the looks that passed between Yugi and Ryou and Yami and Bakura.
Seto looked at Honda and growled “You know it took a lot of courage for him to tell you we where together and you come in here and accuse him of lying and being with the enemy. Let me tell you something Otogi has been harassing me now for months and it has been only recently that he has drawn Jou into this mess. The only reason why he knows its not me is because of a certain item I have included in every gift I have given him; one Origami Rose and a letter. Which if you recall was not in the gift he gave Jou in front of the whole class.” By this time Seto was livid that Honda didn’t believe him.
“That doesn’t prove anything Kaiba!” Honda said.
“Honda’s right.” Yami said reluctantly believing them both but still needing to point out that fact. “All you had to do was not include them in the gift that time.”
Jou couldn’t believe it this was a nightmare his friends had to believe him. “It wasn’t him it was Otogi.”
Yugi looked at his friend “We want to believe you but do you have any proof to back it up. Otogi has no reason to do this. Why would he?” Yugi said in a quiet voice willing Jou to help them prove it beyond a doubt.
Jou looked at him with a sad smile. “He doesn’t have to have one. He never has liked me.” Jou said sadly.
“Look you want proof catch him with the gift he gave Jou that I returned to him and then you will have your proof.” Seto said anger still in his voice.
Honda snorted “Yeah the one on the tape. I saw what you did with that and Otogi brought up a valid point you are good with computers so fixing a video tape is nothing to you.”
“But why would Seto do something that would be to obvious to everyone. It is not his style.” Ryou said quietly. Yugi looked at him and smiled gratefully. Honda had no answer to this and remained quiet.
Seto looked at Honda and sighed “You want proof fine, we’ll have it by tomorrow meet me and Jou before school and you will get it from him yourself.”
Yami looked at Seto “What are you up too Kaiba?” He asked seeing the glint in his eyes and remembering it from old.
Seto looked at him “Trying to prove my innocents that’s all. Now if you don’t mine please leave.” Yugi and the others nodded knowing there was no point in protesting further.
Honda looked at Jou. “Are you coming?” He demanded.
Jou looked up at his friends. “No I’m staying here.” He said.
Honda turned and headed for the door and then stopped and looked at his friend and Seto. “I can’t believe you would rather stay with him and not come with your friends.”
Jou looked at him and said with confidence after seeing the looks the others were giving him. “I love him and I have for awhile now. Why wouldn’t I stay?” He turned away and went back into the living room “Mokuba I want a rematch.” He said hearing the door open and then close as his friends left.
As Yami, Yugi, Ryou, Bakura and Honda left the mansion Honda was furious. “How could he believe Seto he’s the enemy.”
Yami sighed “Seto is not the enemy and we have to believe in Jou’s judgment. I have been noticing that Otogi has been pretty aggressive where both Kaiba and Jou are concerned lately.”
Bakura nodded. “Almost like he was trying to achieve something.”
Honda stood there not believing what he was hearing. “Are you telling me you believe Kaiba? He’s got Jou brain washed. We have to get him away from him.” Honda turned around starting to head back to the mansion when Yugi stopped him.
“Let’s wait and see what kind of evidence he has against Otogi.” He said quietly. “If you go in there now you will only drive a wedge between yourselves that nothing will repair.”
Honda agreed reluctantly for now not wanting to damage his friendship with Jou any further. But was going to talk to Otogi about this.
Honda was still pretty upset when he entered Otogi’s Game Shop. He was determined to find his answers. Yami had said not to talk to him until they saw Kaiba’s proof but as far as he was concerned there was no proof, it was a lie to discredit Otogi and for some reason Jou was a part of it. And that’s what hurt him the most. “Otogi I need to talk to you now.” He shouted out in the shop.
Otogi came out of the back and frowned he had never seen Honda this upset before and he wasn’t sure he wanted too talk to him. “Honda what seems to be the problem?” Otogi looked at Honda and asked.
“You will never guess who I spoke to this morning and they had some interesting things to say about you.” Honda said glaring.
Otogi frowned he didn’t like where this was going. “Honda you seem to be upset let me close and we can talk about what’s bothering you okay.” As Otogi closed the store Honda walked into the back to try and cool down. As he looked around he noticed a box sitting in the corner of the room but before he could investigate it Otogi walked in. “Okay what happened that has got you so upset?” Otogi asked.
“I talked to both Jou and Kaiba today and they both told me a very interesting story about you.” He answered sitting down on a chair abruptly.
Otogi looked at Honda and frowned. “What kind of story?”
Honda looked at Otogi “How you have been messing with both Jou and Kaiba for months and that you are responsible for sending that one gift to Jou and the fact that Seto had proof that you sent it. Did you Otogi send Jou that package and blame Kaiba?” Honda said looking Otogi straight in the eye daring him to lie to him.
Otogi looked at Honda and was scared by what he heard he knew he had to do some fast thinking if he wanted to get out of this. “Honda how could you believe Kaiba over me. You know he would say anything to make my life miserable and Jou falling for his line that it was me instead of him is the kind of thing he would pull. You’ve got to believe me I wouldn’t do something like that to him Jou’s my friend.” Otogi said hoping he would believe him.
Honda looked at him torn but then sighed “Fine I will believe that you didn’t have anything to do with it until I see his proof. Look I’ve got to go it’s getting late. Don’t make me regret believing you about this Jou is my best friend.” Honda turned and left quickly not seeing the scowl on Otogi face. Otogi looked at the box “Man I’ve got to get rid of this and fast. Honda almost saw what was in it.” Otogi was in trouble and knew it.
The next day Seto picked up Jou’s friends and waited to follow Otogi. “Kaiba what are we doing here?” Honda said looking at him wanting to know. “If this is your proof it’s not very good.”
Yugi looked at his friend closely and saw the struggle Honda was having. He wanted to believe Otogi but he knew Jou had no real reason for lying. It was tearing him in two. He then turned to Seto and quietly asked “Seto what are we doing at Otogi’s you did say you had proof on what he did.”
Kaiba looked at him and sighed “I have it on good authority that he still has the items he gave to Jou and me. I also know that Honda talked to him yesterday as well and tipped him off that he was going to be exposed for harassing me and Jou.”
Yami turned to Honda angry but then saw what Yugi did. “I asked you not too confront him about this. Why did you?” Yami said feeling bad for him.
Honda looked at everyone “I needed some answers and not Kaiba’s lame excuses.” He retorted giving Seto a scowl. He wanted to believe Otogi but the longer they waited the less sure he became.
Bakura turned his head and looked at the front door of the shop. “I guess we can found out now.” He said.
At that moment Otogi left the shop carrying the box that had the evidence that would expose him. Honda saw the box and frowned. It was the same one he saw the day before in Otogi’s office. Kaiba and the others got out of the car and approached Otogi. “Otogi what do you have there.” Kaiba asked.
At hearing Kaiba’s voice behind him he jumped and turned around and saw Kaiba, Jou, Honda and the rest of the Yugi-Tachi. Before he could stop him Jou reached for the box and emptied it onto the floor. Not only was the present in it that Jou had received but other items that he had sent Kaiba that had been returned as well. Otogi looked at Jou who was livid “Look I can explain.”
Jou looked at him and shook his head “Are you going to give us more excuses Otogi on why you did it? I’m tired of your excuses and lies oh and one other thing I’m with Seto now so just stay away from me.” With that Jou turned and walked away.
Seto looked at the rest of them and the box “I told you, no me and Jou told you we had nothing to do with this.” He turned and followed Jou leaving Otogi to deal with the rest of the furious gang.
Yami looked at Otogi and shook his head “Otogi how could you do that to Jou and Kaiba?” He asked.
Otogi stood there not knowing what to say. Honda by this time was livid “I warned you yesterday not to be involved in this and you lied to me and said you wasn’t.” Otogi didn’t see it coming and found himself on the ground with a bloody nose. “Stay away from me Otogi. You have crossed the line this time.” At this Honda turned and left pain in his eyes. Yami, Yugi, Ryou and Bakura looked at him and without a word walked away leaving a very angry Otogi nursing a bloody nose.

Yami looked at Otogi and shook his head “Otogi how could you do that to Jou and Kaiba?” He asked.
Otogi stood there not knowing what to say. Honda by this time was livid “I warned you yesterday not to be involved in this and you lied to me and said you wasn’t.” Otogi didn’t see it coming and found himself on the ground with a bloody nose. “Stay away from me Otogi. You have crossed the line this time.” At this Honda turned and left pain in his eyes. Yami, Yugi, Ryou and Bakura looked at him and without a word walked away leaving a very angry Otogi nursing a bloody nose.
