Chapter 4: When you face the life-altering twists....

The first early rays of the morning pours in from burgundy velvet curtains into a luxurious hotel suite. A plush queen size bed with a burgundy comforter, lies in middle of the soft burgundy carpet, the cream colored walls making the dark color stand out more. Everything was extravagant at its best, however a small roll-away bed that sits from the opposite side of the window seems oddly out of place.

A muffled high pitched rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star gently chases away the silence. The cocoon of hotel sheets upon the added bed begins to spasm and twitch as a tiny pale hand slips out and reaches into a certain Hello Kitty bookbag. Slender fingers grasps around a pink cellphone and hauls it up. Sleepy blue eyes tries to focus on turning off the somewhat loud alarm. After that mission was accomplished, a mop of auburn bed hair lifts up suddenly.

“Dis iz not ma room”, mumbles a groggy Tea as she looks around the suite. She shakily gets up to further expect her surroundings, nothing have yet to ring a bell of where she is. Passing a previously used queen bed, upon it a familiar newspaper clipping adorning a hole, Tea eyes widen in remembrance.

“Oh, yea...Miss Summers...” More alert now, Tea wonders past the door to her left and into the living area. The beautiful sunrise illuminates the dazed city of Domino from the huge window. Tea
stops to take in the breathtaking scenery.

“What a start to a gorgeous day, ne?”

Tea spins around at the unmistakable voice and was now staring into the eyes of Miss Summers, whos currently wearing purple lingerie with thin, short matching house coat. She’s sitting on a huge cream colored couch, sipping tea.

Putting down her teacup, the young girl asks. “Did you have a good sleep? Sorry about that god-awful roll-away, but I really didn’t expect any visitors when I first arrive here.”

“Um, no that’s ok. The mattress was actually better than the one I have at home.” Tea said, walking a little closer.

“Well good then! How about coming over here and have some breakfast before you run off to school. These croissants are absolutely delightful!” Miss Summers exclaims as she picks up her teacup again.

Tea nods and makes her way to the offered seat. After sitting down, she helps herself to the delicious-looking breakfast treats.

They ate in silence for a bit, each in their own thoughts. One is dreaming while the other is scheming. Then suddenly...

“Oh! Can you do me a favor?” the fair-skinned maiden asks reaching from the side of the couch and pulling out a large brown envelope.

Quickly swallowing a bite of her croissant, the brunette raises her eyebrows quizzically. “What’s the favor?”

“Well its obvious that you’re going to see Jou today, I want you to make sure that he gets this” Manicured hands presses the packet forward.

Hesitantly, Tea reaches out and takes it.

“Don’t tell him who’s it from. Matter of fact, don’t even let him know that YOU had it in your possession. Maybe, oh say, he accidently finds it amongst his things?” Miss Summers says in a mischievous tone.
Tea hums her understanding as she stares at the mystery in her hands. It bothered her somewhat that someone who suppose to be close to Jou, is acting so secretive. If it were HER, she would try everything in her power to spend as much time as...

Blue eyes snaps up towards her companion, a simple thought now in mind.

“You’re planning to take Jou with you back to New York..” Tea accused.

Lips shining in bare gloss curves into a telltale smile. “It would be what’s best for him, for us.”

“Well its not like Jou has been miserable...” Tea replies, a certain budding relationship in mind.

“He’s only think he’s happy! And I know that you agree that what he’s doing is disgusting and abnormal and its just going to hurt him later!” Miss Summers spats out, slamming the porcelain teacup down.“Besides he will be better off with the only person who knows him best and you’re going to help me make him see that!”

Standing up, Tea exclaims, dropping the brown envelope in the process. “I can’t do that! Jou’s my friend!”

“Oh really?” Pale slender legs slowly straightening themselves out as the maiden match Tea, height for height. “Wasn’t YUGI suppose to be your friend? And look what he’s done to you! Obviously he didn’t consider you being a friend when he kicked you to the curb!”

Tea trembles slightly at the knife-cutting truth, “But...”

“They are GUYS, Tea. They do stupid and idiotic things and we as the brightest of the human race much keep them in line or they will ultimately run themselves to destruction. I won’t let that happen to Jou rather you help me or not. If you want a chance at Yugi...you have to save him....you do care about him don’t you?”

“Yea I do but...it just somehow doesn’t seem right...” Tea fidgets visually.

“Tell me my dear, how many times did any of THEM consider being right when they isolate you with their nasty, filthy relationships....They had probably been acting downright despicable...”

Blue eyes becomes downcast...it was true. Ever since all of them had gotten together, Tea had found herself more and more like the outcast. They even started to treat her like a dirt...Otogi, Jou, now Yugi...

“No one will get hurt right? We’re only doing this to help them.” A troubled brunette asks, tugging at her fingers. The decapitation of a certain newspaper CEO keeps flashing in her mind.

Smirking, Miss Summers replies, “That will be totally up to them, my dear. Personally, I hope this will be smooth sailing, since stress is certainly detrimental to the complexion.” The slender figure stoops down to pick up the rather large piece of mail.

“You’ve really have changed....” Tea murmurs as she retakes the offered envelope.

“Only for the better, my dear. Only for the better...” Somewhat dark hair tosses over a fair shoulder. “We will be the best gal pals ever! It’s long overdue for us don’t you think? With all the shopping we did yesterday, we will have makeovers! Yugi will be begging you to purify him from his filthiness!”

“So when do we get this plan of yours into action?” Blues eyes shining in slight excitement at the thought of helping her most cherished friend.

A smooth face cracks into a demented smile. Unknowing to the naive brunette, it had already begun...starting with a certain family reunion that she herself had orchestrated.

Water falls down in torrents within a small confined space made of glass, as steam rises from over the top into an intricate bathroom made up of black marble. A large pale hand suddenly slaps onto the foggy shower door and just as soon as it came, slowly slides down and out of view, leaving a hand print in its wake.

“Ahh, Katsu. Oh fuck...” Seto moans as he tightens his legs around a tan slim waist of a body that was currently holding him up against the black shower wall and fucking him for all he’s worth.

“What....a way...ta start...da mornin’...eh angel?” the blonde said in a strained voice, due to a VERY tight asshole squeezing his dick.

“Oooooooooh” was the only reply as the brunet’s soft lips latches onto an available neck.

“Uhhh..hell yea..” groans out Jou as he squeezes onto two pale globes of slippery flesh in emphasis, pulling his prey closer and hitting a certain spot viciously.

“Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Oh god, Yes! Blue eyes squeezing shut at the rapid climax building up inside...

“Mmmmm, dat’s it, baby, dat’s it. Cum fer me an’ only me....” the hazel-eyed teen growls huskily, a strong sure hand weasels its way in between and takes hold of a wet and swollen appendage.

“Only you...Only you...” Seto whispers in his lover’s ear before throwing his head back in a silent scream, giving himself up to the almost painful yet pleasurable feeling slamming into him.

“Shit.....Ugh...Seto....” the blonde manages to breathe out as his own orgasm takes him over.

“Katsuyaaaa.....” the brunet moans as he tongues a hot, willing mouth. Letting the water of the shower wash away the fruits of their labor.

A few minutes of mushy words and kisses, the water is turned off and the glass door slides open.

“Wooo Whee! Dat’s what I call a quickie and still have minutes to spare. Hot damn!” Jou said with a prideful laugh. He grabs the two blue towels sitting on the counter and tosses one to his angel.

“I guess with me being the bitch, it would make your father proud.” Seto replies, catching the towel. He had only intended it to be a joke, but the moment he saw Jou’s face fell, he knew he had said the wrong thing.

“Dammit, Mah dad really did offended ya didn’t he?” the blonde exclaims as he quickly tightens the towel around his waist and rushes to gather his boyfriend into his arms.

The force causes the brunet to lose grip on his towel, leaving him to be naked longer. He really didn’t mind that fact at all.

Closing his eyes, Seto let’s himself succumb to the warmth before answering.

“Your father didn’t do anything, that didn’t surprise me.”

“Yea well, I should’ve listened ta ya concerns, maybe some of dat bullshit coulda been avoided.” Jou mumbles harshly, tightening his hold.

The blue-eyed CEO chuckles before reluctantly breaking the embrace. “Your dad just really cares about you! I can already tell he’s a good father. Not at all what I’ve expected from someone with the persona of the yakuza.”

Jou looks half-heartedly at his lover as he makes his way out the door. “And I thought mah dad was being stereotypical.”

Smiling, Seto picks up his towel and follows his blonde adonis into the bedroom. His smile soon fades at what he was going to ask. “So did you knew much about the man that your father mentioned last night?”

“Da homewrecker? Yea, he use ta come by all da time, well all da time when dad wasn’t home.” Jou explains as he sat down on the edge of his angel’s comfortable bed.

“Of course at mah age, I didn’t know shit about affairs or whatevah. Shizuka and I jus thought he was a really cool guy. Hell, he won points with me when he bought me dis huge Tonka truck fer Christmas.”

After tying his towel around his waist, he joins his Katsu on the bed. As a reward, a mop of blonde hair finds purchase on his shoulder.

“After pops kicked mom out, he stopped comin’ fer about a year or two. Den on one Sunday afternoon, I rememba it clearly, he an’ mom suddenly comes ta da door wit some people. Needless to say I realized dat he wasn’t so cool anymore.” Jou slips a arm around a pale waist and snuggles closer as the horrible memory racks his senses.

“So there was obviously a court battle over you and Shizuka’s custody.” Seto murmurs into the soft mane of hair.

“Dose bastards decided to split us apart! I couldn’t believe mom would let our family be destroyed like dat! Now thanks ta her, me and Shizuka arn’t close like we use ta be. I feel like we are complete strangers now, in totally different worlds. I was so jealous of you an’ Mokuba, hell I still am! Our parents robbed us! Neither of dem ONCE stopped ta think what it would do ta us...”

Seto gently kisses the top of his lover’s head as he rocks him. He knew first hand what it was like to be robbed at childhood by immature adults. “So what time is the family reunion?”

Jou’s head snaps up, shock and hope written all over his features. “Y-Ya mean you wanna go? Even after all dat’s happened between you and mah dad?”

“Hey now, I can’t be da bitch in EVERYTHING. Ya damn dog.” Clear blue eyes twinkle in playfulness. A smirk attempts to surface over lips, however another pair of lips were already there, sending both bodies toppling onto the bed.

Looks like they will be late for school after all.

Mid-afternoon, Domino City Community Mall....

Since either people were still at work or at school, the mall is somewhat empty. Not a lot of bustling crowds and the noise level is almost at a minimal. However, a certain individual with long white hair thought it was the perfect place to hang out for a while since he arrived a lot earlier than expected. Now with extra time to spare, he sits by the window of a tiny coffee shop. Two red duffel bags sits at his feet. Soft brown eyes takes a swift look at his watch, Yugi would be still in school for another two hours...

With a sigh, Ryou gives his nod of thanks at the waitress who had just place his Chai tea on the table. He takes it up and cautiously sips at it. During this task, he takes another look out the window and nearly chocked. He coughs slightly as the hot liquid rushes down his throat a little too fast. He leans closer to get a better look of the obviously rich girl in one of the fashion stores across from him. He knew that girl! He stares again as she walks closer towards the exit of the store with a handsome looking bodyguard following her with three huge bags.

Yep, he definitely knew her! Getting up quickly to say hello, he accidently knocks over his tea spilling it all over his vest. He winces loudly as the hot tea seeps through the fabric.

The waitress from before rushes over. “Oh dear, are you ok? Let’s take you to the back and get you cleaned up.”

Before Ryou could give his consent, he was pulled towards his determined destination. He turns around once more only to find that the girl had vanished.

RIIINNNG!

“Ok, class. Please read chapters 2 and review the questions for the quiz Monday! Have a great weekend and Sayonara!”

After a couple of groans at the homework assignment, the students finally manages to grumble out a Sayonara as they exit the door.

“Hey Jou, ya wanna come over the game shop and hang out. Yugi’s throwing a small party for Ryou’s arrival!” Honda asks as he walks up ahead of his blonde companion. Otogi wasn’t too far behind.

“Sorry man, I would love ta see da otha little midget but I have plans dis afternoon.

“With Kaiba, no doubt.” Otogi replies with a grin, “You guys have really become inseparable!”

“Actin’ like a married couple!” Honda chimes in with a laugh, “What you guys planning to do tonight?”

“We’re goin’ ta mah family reunion!” Jou exclaims with excitement as he stops at his locker.

“Shit, Honda! More like a divorced couple! Jou, if you keep pulling things like that, you won’t have a boyfriend!” Otogi said with a little concern.

The blonde smiles at his friends. “Actually, it was Seto’s idea. I wasn’t gonna ta force him ta go.”

“Oh, so things went real well with your dad then?” Honda inquires, raising up an eyebrow.

Configuring his locker combination, “Well...it coulda been bettah...” Jou drones out truthfully.
“But, I guess I sorta underestimated mah lil dragon.”

“Ahhhh” Otogi coos. “That’s sho sshweet!”

Jou laughs as he opens his locker. “Go ta hell man!” A brown envelope topples out onto the floor.

“Oh look Honda, they even sending each other lover letters.” The dice masters exclaims, putting his hand over his chest.

“Why don’t we leave our buddy alone so he can read it in private, we gotta go anyway. Yugi’s waiting.” the brunet said, interlocking his arm with his raven-haired boyfriend.

“We’ll see ya around, Jou. Let us know how the reunion went!” Honda then bellows out.

The blond half didn’t hear what his friend had said, he was too surprised and confused at the contents of the envelope he was now rummaging through.

“Yea, tellYugi...and Ryou..I’m sorry.” the hazel-eyed teen drawls out slowly, almost 100% of his attention still focusing at what he had in his hands.

Honda and Otogi looks at him puzzled but decided to leave it be for now and walks away.

Jou dazed, finds support upon the lockers and slides down them until he was sitting on the floor. He takes another helpless look at the drawings in front of him. Familiar stick figures adorning each of them. The last drawing however, had scribbled writing of “You promised”written across it.

What the hell did that mean? What did he promised?

He never notices the tall, dark, and handsome figure closing in on him.


* * *

“YUGI! You’ve look just as good as ever!” Ryou exclaims as he drops his bags at the door and rushes to hug his beau. “Where is everybody?”

The tri-colored haired teen chuckles as he braces himself for the onslaught. “You don’t look too bad yourself, stud and I left school a little early. Everyone should be on their way. How was your flight?”

“It was pretty good, things were going so smoothly that I got to the airport hours ahead of time!”

“Gosh, what you do with all that time?” Yugi asks running his fingers through the white mane.

“I hung out at the mall!” Ryou chirps, as he held Yugi’s hands. “Which reminds me...”

“Ay’ look, Honda! It’s the British midget! How’s it goin’!?”

Ryou shakes his head and replies. “The same ol’. I see you haven’t changed much!”

“Nah, the world needs Otogi!” the dice masters grins broadly.

Honda gives an exasperated sigh as he picks up Ryou’s bags and hauls it further into the store.
“Where do you want these, my friend?”

“Put them in the living area”, Yugi instructs, he suddenly faces Otogi, “Oh and where’s Jou?”

“He told us to tell you guys sorry. Him and his CEO are going to his reunion.” Otogi said, sitting down at one of the booths.

“Oh well I guess that makes sense as to why I saw her...She really had gotten pretty.” Ryou pipes in. “Jou must be really glad to see her.”

“Who the hell are you talking about? Jou never mentioned anyone visiting him!” Otogi asks as he shifts over to let Honda sit at the booth with him.

“You mean, you guys didn’t know?” Ryou said with shock evident in his voice. “Hmmm, maybe she just got into town then....”

“Who just got into town?” Yugi asks inching closer to his long-distanced boyfriend.

“Well....” Ryou shifts nervously.


Flashback- about 9 years ago

“Kat-chan! Kat-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!” A sound of a lamp breaks as a small red-head figure bumps into a table, trying to get to the blond headed boy sitting in the other room. Some drawings of stick-figure renditions of the small blonde and said girl also found their way to the floor.

“KAT-CHAAN!” The little girl sobs as she plows herself into the body. “They’re taking me away! Please don’t let them take me away!”

“Shizu, what are ya sayin’?”

But before the hysterical green-eyed girl could answer.

“PHILIP FUCKING SUMMERS! YA AIN’T GETTIN’ YA HANDS ON ANY OF
MAH DAMN KIDS!”

“Tatsuya please, even though I hate for this to happen, it’s court orders” reasons Leiko.

“SHUT DA FUCK UP, BITCH! NO ONE’S TALKING TO YOU!”

“Jounouchi-san, please try to calm down. We of the social services must make this as smooth as possible so please just step aside. Where’s the girl?”

“STEP ONE FOOT IN DIS DOOR AND I’M BLASTIN UR FUCKIN BRAINS OUT!”

The two children hears a distinct gun cock.

“Really now, Tatsuya. Will that be the smart thing to do? Not only will you make yourself into a felon...you’ll lose more than just the girl.” Phillip Summers explains, in American-accented Japanese.

No reply came but instead a thunder of steady footsteps rushes in and walks into the door, that just a few minutes ago, Shizuka had ran into.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! KAT-CHAN! DON’T LET THEM TAKE ME! I WANNA STAY HERE WITH YOU! ONEGAI*! ONEGAI!”

Katsuya quickly holds his sister in a death grip as they both sinks back into a corner.

The people of the social service gives a pained sigh. This was always the hardest part of the job, especially when there’s siblings involved. “You know it’s not too late, to relieve custody of the boy as well...”

“Mah son stays here...” a shaky mascline voice growls out from the door frame. Tear threatening to spill from the usually strong face.

Not expecting anything different, the male of the two, walks over to the trembling duo. He than proceeds to try and pry the sobbing girl from the embrace.

“Kat-chan, please...help me!”

“NO!” the small blonde suddenly screeches holding on to the only thing that was available of Shizuka, her hand. “You leave mah sistah alone!”

Obviously the bigger of the struggle was in charge as he drags the screaming girl out the room with an equal screaming boy attached to them.

Holding back a sob of his own, Tatsuya walks up to the winless battle and gently pries his son’s hands away from his sister’s.

He picks up the boy and holds him close, but Katsuya wouldn’t have any of it. He struggles to get out of his dad’s embrace, all the while screaming. “SHIZU! SHIZU! I’ll COME FER YA! I’LL COME FER YA! NO ONE WILL EVAH KEEP US APART AGAIN! I PROMISE!!!”

End Flashback

Domino City Park....

Red strawberry blonde hair wisps in the wind, as the green eyes of Miss Summers narrow to spot a familiar blond laughing merrily with his family members. A brunet stands silently by his side. Blue eyes then wonders until it met her own, and widen considerably. A smirk deepens the blood red lipstick...She had been spotted. A tug of an elbow and a pointed finger later, hazel-eyes now looks her way in the same surprised manner.

“Kat-chan....” came the whisper, as Shizuka Summers moves forward.

To Be Continued....
