Oh, and I’ll review the other chapters to Night of the Vampire as well so look for me darin’!

Getting Bi Mai: lol, don’t worry things will get real interesting! And no Seto is not a pot head! He smokes it but he’s no way hardcore so don’t worry, it won’t be an issue in this story. I got too many other things planned for him and Jou!

Drachenaugen: Takes so much for your constant support! Your emails and everything mean so much to me like I have said before! And congratulate yourself for the stalker idea! You’ve been an excellent muse! *kisses* so be proud as you continue to read since in your own special way have help me to create this fic!

Getting Bi Mai: Yes, Seto has changed! Lol I think its funny that he smokes pot but like I’m telling anybody, its by no means going to be a problem! Just something to add to his new character! I have reason for what I do so it’ll be ok! *kisses* Ah yes jealousy WILL be an issue however! *bounces excitedly* So now I’m about to take your advice finally…(I’ve been so restless!)… and rest now. *lolls off to sleep*

Clumsykitty: *giggles* oh yea! And the mayhem starts this chapter. I thought it to be cute and hilarious! I hope you feel the same. Poor Jou…it’s not even the tip of the iceberg!

Getting’ Bi Mai: Aww really? What is it that you discovered that was missing? I’m dying to know! But thanks though, I’m glad that I’m able to write your idea in a way that you would want to see it written! Things definitely does happen for a reason!

Velvetina: Yea, yea! I suck with the updates, I’m not at all perfect you know! *rolls eyes* But I do have good reasons! Work and college is a deadly combo and can drain the life out of any author! Lol but I came up with a solution…so if you see quicker updates in the future…then you’ll know that it worked!

YAY cheesecake! What kind did you make?”

Heh heh, Kaiba is going to be one scary dude in this chapter and yes he is definitely during harm to himself! I hope you enjoy it! As far as the baddie is concerned, he was a major contender. I’m a little worried because I think I might have gotten the wrong tournament. Boy wouldn’t that be embarrassing if I did! But since I really wanted you guys to figure out who he was from the get go, I’ll give you a hint. He has a yami and it’s not Bakura or Atem so…*grins* I hope it makes sense into why I had picked him.

Getting Bi Mai: Yay, you liked! *does dance* I thought it to be cool too! I got so many things planned for this story! Seto and pot…lol. Don’t worry I’m not planning on him going overboard so don’t worry. He’s a miserable guy in love but he’s by all means not stupid.

Sorry I can’t let you borrow him right now, he’s too busy waiting catering to my ever whim while I’m sick in bed! *grin* But I might consider it later though.

*drools at the yummy treats* Oh gosh, sometimes it’s not all bad to be sick. Especially if I get this treatment and don’t worry, I won’t push myself! *huggies* thanks!

Paranoidcharlotte: lol, yup you’re right! And personally I just call him Marik…I like that name better! Anyway, I know it didn’t come fast enough but here you go sweetie!

Getting Bi Mai: I just ADORE men with long hair and so I had to do it! Yep same with the drugs, but only casually though. I can’t see him being hardcore with the stuff! Too sexy!
Ahhh, angelfish are really pretty. Did you name them? Wow you got an eel too? How freakin cool is that? Your aquarium must be huge! I might get me a fish tank…it gets lonely in my room…

*Enjoy* *Snuggles into bed for much needed rest*


Dead silence. It’s all that can describe the Yugi-tachi table as soon as the sickly brunet sits down.

Blue eyes scan the table noting all the distorted looks of concern directing at him, but he easily shrugs it off as he digs in the paper bag for the contents that he just recently purchased from the convenient store before coming here.

Smiling a bit, Jou gently strokes the nape of his lover’s neck. “What’cha got dere angel?”

“Lunch; suddenly I just had the craving for some peanut butter.” Seto sighs in bliss as he takes out the unopened jar and sits it down.

“Oh? Peanut butter and what? Anchovies?” the blond asks sarcastically but turns pale as he hears the reply.

“Iie, just peanut butter.” The only other thing the brunet pulls out was a carton of chocolate milk and a spoon.

What the fuck?

“Oh ya gotta be fuckin’ kiddin’ me…” the hazel-eyed teen trails off, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Yugi, Otogi, and Honda stares in shock and fascination as the CEO do indeed unscrews the top and plunges his spoon into the brown concoction. They then grimace at the scene of him taking a hefty spoon full and chugs it in his mouth.

“It would’ve been ok if he had at least gotten a jar of jelly to go with it…” the dice master trails off, contorting his face once again as another spoon full was just consumed.

A tanned hand comes upon the pale one holding the spoon. “Angel, I’m not gonna let ya sit here and eat all of dat damn peanut butter! Maybe I’ll have ta reconsider about food being da problem! Dis is gettin’ ridiculous!”

Seto lifts one eyebrow up at his partner as if he’s insignificant. “Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot eat? I eat whatever the hell I want!” He snatches his hand away and digs once again into the already half jar of peanut butter.

Jou closes his eyes to mentally calm himself before starting again. “Baby, look. It can’t be good fer ya ta eat dis way. Chocolate is one thing but all dis other shit is a bit much. You’re vomitin', always tired, ya migraines are gettin' worse, and you’re gainin' A LOT of weight…”

Seto’s left eye twitches as his face contorts into a snarl. “Oh so you’re saying I’m fat?”

Jou gives an incredulous stare before waving his hands frantically, “No…NO! I’m not sayin' dat, it’s just…it’s just you were so skinny and light before and…”

“Oh so I’m not skinny enough to your standards anymore is it?” The brunet narrows his eyes; his whole body begins to tremble.

“What da hell? NO! I’m sayin' you’re jus noticeably gainin' weight…I-I mean when we make love…er..um when ya ride me…or…or against da wall…Shit Set! It hurts, it fucking hurts! I be feelin' like I’ve fractured my back and pelvic bone!

Otogi gives a hoot as he more or less collapse onto Honda, laughing till he starts to cough viciously. Yugi and the other brunet stares a bit perturbed at the green-eyed teen, knowing that he had just inadvertently made things a lot worse…

Seto stands abruptly, toppling the chair over which overly signals silence throughout the whole cafeteria. Jou groans as he holds his head down in embarrassment, already he’s regretting the brunet being here.

“OH FUCK YOU! I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY THAT I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE SKINNY MALE MODELS THAT YOU CAN JUST BEND AROUND LIKE A FUCKING PRETZEL! YOU…YOU…YOU JERK!” The distraught CEO wails out as tears begin to cascade down his eyes.

The blond stares in amazement with his jaws unhinged at the transformation that’s happening before him. All his angel needed now is a pair of tits and a clit and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

“Seto…” he begans.

“I DON’T WANNA HEAR IT! LEAVE MY FAT ASS IN PEACE WITH MY GAH-DAMN PEANUT BUTTER!” The brunet clearly shaken cradles the jar close.

“Angel…please! I just want ya ta be healthy! I’m worried about ya, we’ll find somethin' more better fer ya ta eat…” Jou stands up to pull his hysterical boyfriend close.

“OH, KAMI! NOW HE’S TRYING TO PUT ME ON A DIET!” Seto once again breaks out into a fit of sobs as he pushes from the embrace.

“What!? Fer fuck’s sake! What’s gotten inta ya?!”

“YOU ARE WHAT HAVE BEEN GETTIN’ INTO ME AND APPARENTLY YOU’RE NOT SATISFIED!”

“NOT SATISFIED?! WHAT DA HELL ARE YA TALKIN’ ABOUT?!”

“STOP YELLING!” Seto screeches.

“I’m not…”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” comes a foreign voice.

Both blond and brunet turns to look at the irate dice master who’s also now standing up. He turns to look at the sea of bulging eyes that were students in the cafeteria. “LOOK, LOOK!” He points straight down the middle to the cafeteria clock hanging above the kitchen door in the back. “LUNCH IS ALMOST OVER! LOOK!”

Suddenly the students did indeed turn towards their trays, some whispering while others steal a couple of glances back towards the table.

Green eyes sparked annoyance as Otogi speaks in a harsh whisper. “Dammit, Jou. Just let him have his fuckin’ peanut butter, don’t you see you’re just upsetting him? Stop all of this yellin’ bullshit!”

The hazel-eyed teen sighs as he looks to his lover who was playing with the spoon in the jar, eyes downcast. His heart instantly breaks at the sight.

“Fuck…Angel, I’m sorry…I’m really sorry…forgive me?” Jou holds his arms out hoping they would soon be filled. “You can have all da peanut butter ya want; I’ll even get ya anotha jar.”

The brunet rocks slightly as he contemplates but then sighs as he walks into the waiting embrace. What the fuck is with him? Who gets upset over peanut butter?! Not only is he scaring the shit out of his blond boyfriend but he’s scaring the shit out of himself. Maybe he should go see a doctor…

“Ya alright?” Jou whispers softly, planting a kiss on a slightly damp forehead.

Seto simply nods as he buries his face deeper into the neck, wanting more of the heat.

The blond smiles fondly at the cute little display being shown. He then looks up only to frown.

Otogi was holding up an imaginary phone, mouthing the words…’call a mental institute, he’s crazy’

Jou shakes his head before flicking the dice freak off.

Honda snickers before replying, “Speaking of…You never mention anything about Shizuka…have your mom ever found a place for her or what? What’s going on there?”

The brunet winces inwardly as he feels the body that holds him go rigid.

“Yea, you were very vague about her when I mentioned her on the phone too.” Yugi recalls.

Seto turns his head their way, a bit hesitant. “You see…”

“Yea, so she’s dead.” The accented voice replies callously.

Now all eyes were on the blond.

“How did…” Yugi asks, shaking his head in disbelief.

“I shot her.”

RIINNG! RINNNG!

“Okaaaay! Well there’s the bell!” Otogi gets up a little too quickly. “Can’t be late for class!”
He swiftly grabs Honda and whispers, “Holy shit, they both crazy…maybe we should look into getting them a room…you know with the nice padded walls and those pretty long sleeve jackets.

His brunet partner groans as he hears the raven-haired teen then cry out. “See you in class guys!”

Finishing the cheery reply with a fake sugary smile, he then returns to the ear that he was using. “Let’s get the hell out of here…”

***

A hand swiftly scribbles messages over a notepad, checking some papers that have been left on his desk. Eyes that are behind glasses look anxiously at the clock to the right. Where is he…?

Suddenly a faint knock could be heard from the door.

“Ah, Mokuba. Please come in.” Mura-sensei grins as a head full of bushy black hair poke in from between the doors.

Tiny hands then push the doors all the way back as the smaller Kaiba walks in cautiously as if he just had been caught with his hand in the candy jar.

“Come on now, don’t be shy. I’ve known you way before you even had your eyes open.” The physician points to the empty chair in front of him. “I’m sorry for having you skip school, but luckily as a person in my profession, I can easily make believable excuses.”

The grey-eyed boy takes a seat, silent for a moment…but only for a moment.

“What’s wrong with my brother, Mura-sensei! Why is he acting so strange! Why is he sick all the time, is he dying?!” Tear threatens to spill out of the huge chibi eyes.

The doctor temporarily caught off guard from the outburst, suddenly chuckles slightly. “No, child. As far as I know, he’s not dying anytime soon. However there IS something strange going on with him and I was hoping you can help me in bringing him here.”

Mokuba face contorts in confusion. “How strange?”

Mura-sensei sighs; he really doesn’t want to tell the kid anything especially when he hasn’t even confirmed his suspicions just yet. True, Kaiba has tested positive in the pregnancy tests each time they used his blood and urine samples but it could be a lot of reasons besides pregnancy with him being male and all, reasons that could be deadly, but how to explain such things to a small boy.

“Very strange.” Comes the intelligent reply. “So strange that I have to give your brother a thorough physical in order for me to believe it myself…”

“Believe what?” A hint of irritation was now evident in the young Kaiba’s voice.

The physician groans at his failure but then again maybe having the boy know about the potential pregnancy may not be so bad…

“So tell me, Mokuba Kaiba…” Mura-sensei begins, “Are you old enough yet to know where babies come from?”

The raven-haired boy scoffs at the question but answers nonetheless. “Yea, you take a male and a female and they go to bed.”

“How about two males…”

***

“Now when a woman is going through pregnancy, her body endures a lot of changes, especially during the first trimester where the developing embryo establishes itself inside the womb” Kiku-sensei instructs her Biology class.

Jou sighs heavily as he lets his head drop to his desk with a soft thunk. He absolutely hated this part of Biology! It’s so boring and useless. Like he really needs to know about pregnancy and the effects it has on the body. It’s not like HE has to deal with any of it! He’s happily gay, mind you.

Visible movements catch his left eye and he turns in that direction. He sighs again as he witness his angel fidgeting violently in his seat. The long legs bounces erratically as the knees would occasionally hit the bottom of the desk. Here we go again…

“Looking at the symptoms for early pregnancy…” the middle-aged woman pauses for a moment to set up her overhead projector. When it hums to life, showing the desired image of the list of symptoms she begins again. “Here we have several but not limiting to. You have of course no menstrual cycle, and the infamous morning sickness which can actually occur throughout the day, which includes nausea and vomiting, sensitively to smells, and intense fatigue. Mood swings are also quite possible.”

Jou raises his eyebrows at that. If he wasn’t so sure that his angel is male, he would have to wonder. It was like the teacher was speaking ABOUT Seto rather than just some female.

“Another common symptom is the frequent passing of urin…” Kiku-sensei stops but then sighs heavily...this would be the fifth time today since her class has started. “Yes, Kaiba-san.” As if she doesn’t already know by now…

“Can I please be excused to the bathroom, I really got to go.” Seto whimpers, shaking his legs more furiously.

The class erupts in silent snickers, who would have thought that Kaiba the prick would be a natural class clown. Even though concerned, the blond himself snickers; nothing the brunet does surprises him anymore.

“Kaiba-san, you’ve went FOUR times already! It hasn’t even been a good hour into my class.”

“I know that, sensei but that doesn’t negate the fact that I have to go.” The CEO snaps as he is practically bouncing in his seat now.

The teacher sighs, it certainly wouldn’t make her look good if someone important such as Kaiba pisses in his pants. “Alright but only when Yayoi and Natsuko gets back from their bathroom break.”

“Dammit! I don’t have time to wait for them to change their tampons, I gotta go!"

The class is now in an uproar.

“Settle down class, SETTLE DOWN!” Kiku-sensei roars out.

Besides from the occasional snickers, the class went back to silence
.
”Kaiba-san, maybe you should go to the nurse’s office while you're out. It sounds to me that you might have a bladder infection.”

“Pfft, what the fuck ever, can I PLEASE go now?!”

The instructor’s greenish-blue eyes widens at the rudeness. Important people be damned!

“AND the principal’s office while you’re at it!”

“Fine!” Seto leaps out of his seat and heads to the door, tears threaten to spill again. “I don’t need this damn class anyway! Fucking waste a time when I know I’m just going to get an A plus any gah-damn way!”

“Kaib-“but before Kiku-sensei could say another word, the door nearly bangs off the hinges.

“Your things.” She then sighs out holding her head in her hands.

“It’s takin’ care of, sensei.” Jou suddenly speaks out as he moves to collect his angel’s things. Decision was now made, Seto was going to see a doctor even if it means him kicking and screaming….

The brunet rushes down the hall, nearly bumping into the principal and what it seems to be a new student.

The blood red eyes of the mysterious individual glistens sharply at the interaction but was interrupted by his “guide”.

“You’ll have to excuse him; he’s Kaiba Seto, a very prominent figure in this school. He must have to rush out for an emergency business meeting or something.” Toshio-sama murmurs, still peeved at the fact someone who doesn’t even have a diploma has the potential to make billions within a week whereas the same amount would probably never come to him in his entire lifetime. Shaking his head at the bitterness, “So now what you said your name was again, my boy?”

“Odji…”

“Well Odji, let’s go see your new biology teacher, Kiku-sensei, shall we?” They make their way towards the familiar door.

To be continued…

Next chapter: Seto’s constant stubbornness to see a doctor puts him in a frightening position
