To Keep A Katsu

Paranoidcharlotte: Yea, I totally agree with you about Tea… Instead of making her out to be the totally annoying bitch that everyone tends to make her, I’m trying to put her in a way that I think she would act being in a yaoi fic! Lol I see her as being lonely and misguided especially when there’s a crush involved. So as I see it, it’s not even about friendship anymore! Unless you count her feeling betrayed…but trust me it’ll all work out in the end. Even for Tea!

Anon: Oh, I love your little moments in my review section! I love it to bits! Lets me know that you’re getting into my plot! Yay!

SilverYaoiHellion: Oh yes, and it seems that I’m heading into a mini plot involving Yugi, Ryou, and Tea! Lol that’s purely by accident but it works, I suppose. About Mokuba, he won’t be playing too much of an active role in this story as far as aiding in the feud. I’m simply using him as a friendly reminder to our Kaiba, that he does indeed have a family! Mokuba will be expressing that in his own little way. The death threat will actually lead into a lot of things but you’ll have to read on to find out just how!

Velvetina: Well I thank you for being one of my loyal readers who is making it easy and enjoyable for me! *smoochies* When was the last time you wrote a fic? I would love to read something of yours! Do you even still write?

Oh yea, the Kaibas will definitely have something for her, especially from the little guy. She won’t know what hit her indeed.

Lokivsanubis: Ah! Makes me happy to see new names on my review board! In this story, it will be proven that sperm is thicker than blood! Lol that was terrible! But you get what I mean!

Drachenaugen: You had inadvertently uncovered a problem that will play itself in this fic. Good job for being so perceptive! Jounouchi will actually make it a lot harder for our CEO. Battling your boyfriend’s supposing innocent sister is quite a feat!

I'm glad you like Mother Miki! And oh yea, she will make another appearance! :) Oh and don't worry about the duplicate review, I just deleted it...even if it did hurt to delete any of your lovely reviews!


*ENJOY!*

Half eaten food sits on the nearby table as the gang of boys lies around lazily in the back of the Game shop. T.V on but no one is really paying attention. Instead they decide to focus on the latest events, namely a green-eyed red head.

“Hey Honda, remember when we use to fight over Shizuka? Jou couldn’t really stand us then!” Otogi asks reminiscing over his boyfriend’s lap on the floor.

Yugi and Ryou sits just above them on the couch, lying on each other in contentment as they actively listen to their friends.

Laughing, Honda replies. “Yea, but to think if it wasn’t for that...we wouldn’t have found our way to each other. She broke our hearts and we ended up drinking our asses off over my house.”

“Oh yea, I always thought drunken sex was the best sex!” Otogi quips as he finishes off a couple of chips.

Chuckling, Yugi makes his mind up that it was time to butt in. “Ok you guys, we were talking about Shizuka….”

“Well since we are on the subject of females, let’s talk about Tea…I noticed you guys hadn’t said a word to each other since the other day” probes Otogi. “You guys aren’t friends anymore?”

Ryou lifts his head to stare into emotional violet eyes. “What happened between you and Tea?”

Yugi sighs before speakin as he silently thanks Otogi and his big mouth. “You knew that she has a crush on me…”

Ryou hums in understanding and then said. “So she doesn’t approve of our relationship then…I’m sorry I didn’t mean to get in between you guys. You guys had been so close.”

Quickly sitting up, the tri-color haired teen grasps his lover on the shoulders. “Don’t apologize! It isn’t your fault. If Tea valued my friendship…”

“But I do value your friendship, Yugi.”

Heads turn towards the door. A nervous brunette stands awkwardly in the doorway, holding her book bag firmly in place.

“Can I…come in…” Blue eyes shines with uncertainty.

Yugi hunches his shoulders and said nonchalantly. “Sure, Tea. I believe we’re still friends.”

Feeling a little comfortable now, Tea walks in and takes her usual seat on the armchair. “I-I really wanted to talk to you in school but I wasn’t sure if you wanted to talk to me.”

“I might have been annoyed”, Yugi admitted slowly, “But I wouldn’t have turned you away.”

“Hi, Tea.” Ryou gently butts in, hesitantly.

“Hello, Ryou. It’s nice to see that you are doing well.” The brunette replies in monotone.

“So um, have you heard the news?” Ryou asks, fidgeting beside his boyfriend. He really wanted the tension in this room to go away.

“What news?” the blue-eyed girl asks, picking at imaginary lent from her school uniform.

“About Shizuka…” the chibi albino implies. Brown eyes widen slightly at the brunette’s sudden change in demeanor.

“W-What about her?” Tea asks finding HERSELF fidgeting.

Loving this change of events, Otogi takes the reins. “Oh, she’s in town unless of course you already knew that” A smirk now firmly places on the dice master’s lips.

“Why would I know something like that!? It’s not like I’ve been speaking with her!” Tea quickly blurts out.

Suddenly her cellphone rings. Hesitantly blue eyes survey her friends and choosing to ignore the humor in a certain pair of green eyes, she picks up.

“Um, moshi, moshi…” Tea nervously sits back in the chair as the voice started talking.

“I’m over at the Game shop…” A pause as the voice speaks.

“Right now? But didn’t you say you had something to do?” The brunette turns to look at her friends again. All of their attention was on her.
“Oh well in that case, I guess that’s ok…but how…?” Yugi furrowed his brows in thought. Exactly just what Tea had been up to since their fight?

“I understand. Then I’ll see you later…Hai, Ja ne!” The only girl of the group shuts her phone shut. She then stares at her peers with emotionless eyes.

“Too late for that poker face look” said Otogi impishly, “Who was that? Your cell phone hardly ever rings.”

“I have other friends besides you guys!” Tea retorts, she was fed up with them downing her. Maybe Shizuka had been right! This has gone far enough!

“Well how come we never met them?” Honda inquires, intertwining his fingers with his lover’s.

“Yea, Tea. I would love to meet them.” Yugi replies with a small smile.

“Well you can forget it! I wouldn’t let any of them meet you obnoxious jerks! You’ll just embarrass me!” the brunette said with her nose in the air as she grabs her book bag to leave.

“Sweetheart, you’re doing a pretty good job of that yourself!” Otogi mumbles, rolling his eyes in aggravation at Tea’s sudden mood swing.

“You know what Otogi, I always wanted to say this…” Tea snarls with a smirk. “But you can shove those dice up your ass…assuming that Honda isn’t there first. You effeminate bastard!”

The dice master’s jaw automatically unhinged themselves and for once couldn’t form words at all.

Savoring her overdue victory, the brunette then adds. “I’m going out with a real, NORMAL friend, one who actually values my friendship! So you can all burn in hell, see if I care!” With that, the blue-eyed teen stalks out with her head held high

The boys alone again, just stare at each other. Not fully comprehending what had just happen.

Otogi who finally manages to get his jaw back into place asks, “What the hell? Is it possible to be on your shit TWO TIMES a month?”

Everyone shrugs except Ryou who happens to look past the living room door just in time to see a certain brunette step into a red Rolls Royce.

* * *

Squeak…Squeak…Squeak…Squeak….

A huge sigh erupts from a ball of black hair that rests on the floor of a familiar room in a familiar mansion.

Squeak…Squeak…Squeak…Squeak…

The ball of black hair slowly reveals a face, a face that had frustration written all over it.

Squeak…Sqea…

A mouth upon the face begins to twitch to say something but then the words turns into a sigh. Finally.

Squeak…Squeak…Squeak…

“Oniisan!! For goodness sake!” the smaller Kaiba yells out, now sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Large pale hands upon a golden retriever squeak toy finally ceases their ministrations. Blue eyes turn to grey ones in innocence. “What?”

“That thing is not Jou, so why are you squeezing it?! It’s nerve-racking!” Mokuba exclaims as he got up to move towards the bed where he brother was leisurely reclining on.

“I was thinking.” Kaiba said flatly.

“Since when do you need a toy to think?!” Small legs now dangling over the massive bed.

“Since Jou gave it to me.” Kaiba once again replies flatly, the small stuffed puppy now cuddles in crossed arms.

Grey eyes widen immensely. “What has he done to you?! You’re acting like a sappy school girl!”

Blue eyes finally flickered in annoyance. “Of all the rooms in the house, Ototo, why are you in here? I believe one of those rooms is yours anyway.”

Mokuba shrugs. “I happen to like this room better. So are you gonna tell me what’s been bothering you or what?”

“It really doesn’t concern you.” Kaiba said a little harshly as he sinks further into his pillow.

“So what? That doesn’t mean you can’t tell me! Did you get into a fight with Jou?” the smaller Kaiba asks.

“No. We haven’t fought since we became a couple.”

“Okay then, well something happened! I recall you meeting Jou’s dad last night. Did something happen then?” Grey eyes stare down blue eyes inquisitively.

The brunet sighs, gives the puppy toy a small squeeze, and said, “Jou’s dad invited me to a family reunion today and I went”

“Oookaaay…so…what happen?” drawls Mokuba slowly.

“Shizuka is in town.”

“Well isn’t that great? Jou must be ecstatic about seeing her! How is she?” a clueless little brother asks.

“She’s pretty much the same as before…except now she’s a bitch…” Kaiba snarls lowly.

Mokuba stares incredulously at his older brother as he slowly leans in towards him. It must be something serious if his usually prudish brother curses in front of him. “How so?”

“She’s trying to take Jou away from me!” Trying to drag him back to New York with her, for whatever reason! Then have the audacity to get on me about family when she just manipulated almost all of hers to come here to Japan! You’ve should’ve seen her, it was disgusting! I had to leave.” Kaiba rants vehemently.

Mokuba sat stunned. “I-I can’t believe you’re talking about Shizuka…I always thought she was pretty nice.”

“About as nice as satan!” Kaiba growls out. “As far as I’m concerned, she just declared war.”

Mokuba smirked at that and as far as he was concerned, Mokuba might as well meant mischievous…“I wanna help!”

“Oh no, oh HELL NO! The last time you called yourself helping, you almost got yourself tossed over a cliff!” Kaiba replies strictly.

“What?! We’re talking about Shizuka here! The worst she can do is throw a tantrum!” the tiny Kaiba quips with a giggle.

However, Kaiba stayed silent. A certain threat immediately comes to mind. He wasn’t sure if the former Jounouchi meant it or not, but being in his line of work, he must treat every threat seriously. No matter how ridiculous they may seem.

“I’m not so sure Mokie. Shizuka has changed way too much too fast for me to treat it that lightly. Who knows what she’s capable of now.” The young CEO explains uncertainly.

“What do you mean!? You’ve changed and no one labeled you insane.” Mokuba pushes on.

“Technically, I’ve developed a split personality. Shizuka on the other hand…it looks like bitch season is all year-round” reasons the brunet.

“Ahh, c’mon big brother! Let me help just one time, please. I promise, I get my little laugh and then I’ll back off.” The long haired boy bargains.

“Oh yeah? And give me one good reason why I should.” Kaiba demands, hotly.

Smiling his sweetest smile, “Because we’re family! If Shizuka is as bad as you said she is, then we gonna hit her with a little “family reunion” of our own, Kaiba style!”

Kaiba couldn’t help but grow tender at that. What was he thinking?! Mokuba was the whole Jounouchi clan put into one! It now seemed silly to have let Shizuka strike such a nerve within him. Chuckling, blue eyes sparkles their own hint of mischievousness, “Ok, little brother. What did you have in mind?”

“Weeeeell. When was the last time, you actually hung out with Yugi and the gang….”

* * *

“Hahahahahahahahahaaa! I can’t believe you had said that! Bravo! Otogi had totally deserved it!” came the somewhat snobbish reply from Shizuka as she leisurely lay sideways on a burgundy rug beside the fireplace. “I only told you to PRETEND to get angry so you have a reason to leave but obviously you had a lot on your chest!”

Tea who chuckles slightly, hugs her knees as she finds purchase on the sofa beside the rug. “Even though I’m not too PROUD of it…I have to admit…It felt pretty good! I mean, it had to be done or else I’ll let them run all over me forever!”

“So, so true!” the strawberry blonde squeals in delight as she rolls up into a sitting position. “Today had just been absolutely fabulous!”

“Oh? So things went well at the reunion did they?” Tea asked with a quirked brow.

Giggling, “I totally blew Kaiba right out of the water! In fact, I managed to make him leave the park quite early. Who knew the “big bad CEO” could be so sensitive!”

“Did Jou get upset about him leaving like that?” the brunette asks, curiously.

“Not as much as I hoped” Shizuka admits slowly, tossing some stray hair behind her shoulder. “But! We’re still early in the game, so no worries!”

“I’ll say, I thought reunions last longer and you’re back pretty early.” Tea comments with just as much curiosity as before.

“About a hour or so after Kaiba-boy left, I decided to take my leave. Since things had gotten so boring! Jou just set there in a daze without even acknowledging me! I’m going to break Kaiba’s disgusting hold on him even if it’s the last thing I do!” little Miss Summers vows, with a snarl.

“I told you those guys are pretty serious about their relationship. You could almost expect rings…”

“Don’t said that! My brother will NOT live the rest of his life as a gay weirdo! He’s going to marry a beautiful girl, live in a beautiful mansion in New York, and birth me lots and lots of beautiful nephews and nieces!” Shizuka shrieks getting up. “Ok, OKAY!”
The brunette stares in horror at her hysterical companion before managing to croak out. “O-o-okay.” Then with more boldness, “Geez, calm down! People are going to think you’re crazy!”

Shizuka simply laughs at her silly cohort before saying, “I’m sorry, hon. But seeing my brother participating in such nastiness just tend to get the better of me. Besides he made a promise to me and I will make sure he keeps it!”

“What promise?” Tea asks, straightening out her aching legs for having them bent too long.

“He promised me that we will be together and no one will keep us a part! That we’ll be a family again!” the green-eyed girl responds passionately.

“Well that really doesn’t make any sense to me at all. I mean Jou practically worships you has the best little sister in the world! He will always see you as family. Why not simply accept Kaiba as another older brother…” the brunette asks innocently.

“NO! That won’t work! It has to be a perfect normal family and such families don’t consist of disgusting fags! Kat-chan is the perfect older brother and therefore he deserves to be normal!” Shizuka almost screeches out, bare manicured feet pacing the floor.

Not wanting to see another violent outburst, Tea merely let it be for now.

Sensing the distress from her sidekick, the red head slyly asks. “Don’t you want Yugi to be normal?”

Tea looks to her shaky hands. Yugi was indeed too precious to let such sins spoil him! Suddenly, in the brunettes lustful mind, everything that Shizuka had said suddenly made sense. What was exactly wrong to want what’s right for the ones you care about anyway?

“So what’s next then?” Tea says with new motivation and determination.

Clasping her hands in glee, little Miss Summers practically jumps over to the couch beside the brunette. Her voice suddenly becomes eerily devious. “Let’s encourage a group date amongst all of your friends. It’s so easy to sabotage a night out, and I can guarantee that the fights will be hilarious!”

“But what about Jou? Kaiba is so anti-social! He would never agree to it!” Tea explains.

A vicious smirk becomes visible. “I wouldn’t have it any other way! With Jou being the third wheel and he’s forced to witness his sappy little friends, he probably call Kaiba and beg him to come but the stubborn prude would probably make up some excuse about having to work. Of course, I’ll be there giving him my support while subtly adding some fuel to the fire and then the next thing you know…Shizuka begins to dance and twirl around as she continues to relive her plan. “My brother will practically be begging me to take him back to New York after realizing just why he had hated Kaiba in the first place! And being the adorable little sister that I am, I will rescue him!”

The brunette a bit dazed from the little fairy tale that the former Jounouchi was spewing, slowly comes back to earth. “Um, that sounds all well and good but uh…how will that help me with Yugi?”

“Be creative darling! I just told you, dates are always prone to disaster! Make those disasters work to your advantage and I’ll help you!” the strawberry blonde chirps. “But we won’t be doing anything or going anywhere with these clothes!”

Suddenly the shrill of a ringtone had both heads turn to the low-sitting coffee table before the couch.

“Why I wonder who that could be?” Shizuka mumbles, genuinely surprised, but when she saw the familiar name on her caller id, that surprise changed into joy.

Quickly flipping the phone open and slapping the phone against her ear, she squeals. “Kat-chan!”

A silly smile still plastered on delicate features as the cherished voice fills the receiver. “Aww, I’m so sorry for deserting you back there but you didn’t seem like you wanted to be bothered all of a sudden!”

Tea witness green eyes roll with exasperation. Obviously, Jou was talking about his beautiful blue-eyed beau.

“Uh no offense big brother but why did you call me?” Shizuka asks with a sigh as she twirls a piece of her hair. Her eyes sudden went wide and then a dark smile crossed her lips.

“Oh, I think that’s a splendid idea! I would love to spend time with you and the gang!” the crafty red-head takes a look to shocked blue ones as the brunette’s lips mouths a silent “no way.”

“I will be there approximately within the hour to pick you up!” with a smirk, delicate hands snaps the phone shut.

Tea looks up expectantly at the girl before her.

Acknowledging the look, Shizuka replies. “Well I guess we can bypass step one and move on to step two…”


* * *

“Put the last of those duel monster cards in that storage closet, Ryou” instructs Yugi as he finishes counting out the money in the cash register.

“Sure thing, Yu-kun!” the little albino eagerly responds as he picks up the boxes and walks past an occupied booth towards the storage closet.

“I wonder what we going to do when Jou gets here.” Honda thought aloud from the booth.

“Hmph, I’m surprised he called. Usually when he goes out with his boyfriend, he’s never to be heard from again.” Otogi said in monotone as he flips out a compact mirror.

“True, you think something may have happened?” Honda asks with a little worry.

“I’m not so sure. Jou didn’t sound like he was in any kind of distress just a moment ago” answers Otogi, as he checks his face for impurities.

“Well you know how Jou is; he doesn’t always come spilling his guts about his love life.” Honda clarifies as he rubs his hand across the dice master’s smooth cheek. Oh how he love it when his babe takes good care of himself.

“Oh yea, I also forget to mention that Jou invited Shizuka along.” Otogi drones as he now expects his hair.

“I guess that’s cool since we haven’t seen her in awhile. I just wish I knew where the hell we’re going!” Honda said, reaching over to run his fingers through perfect black tresses.

“Well where ever you guys go, you don’t mind two more do you?” asks another with black tresses; however this figure was a lot shorter.

“Mokuba?!” Honda exclaims looking straight into grey eyes.

“The one and only!” the smaller Kaibe exclaims. He wears long dark blue denim, which the pants leg had to be rolled up to show black chucks. A navy blue plaid shirt pokes from under a thin leather jacket and a navy ball cap shadows over big chibi eyes. His long hair is in a ponytail so that it can bush out from the tiny opening behind the hat.

The elder Kaiba just smirked as he reclines over on the next booth. His attire was similar except his pants legs weren’t rolled up, his jacket was tied around his waist as a part of his button down plaid shirt had some of the buttons open, half showing a nipple, and his hat was on backwards over a messy braid.
They truly look like the brothers who would throw a baseball through your car window and laugh in your face about it.

“Mokuba, Kaiba! I’m glad to hear that you guys wanna hang with us!” Yugi yells out from behind the counter, waving happily.

Ryou, after pricing some Celtic Guardian plushies, look up and smile warmly. “You guys look well! It’s nice to finally meet you again.”

“Ryou! Wow! I didn’t know you were here!” Mokuba shouts with enthusiasm as he races over to the grinning boy.

“So Kaiba, do Jou know that you’re going to be here?” Otogi asks curiously.

Quickly glimpsing at the green-eyed boy, the brunet closes his eyes and answers, “No, he doesn’t know. I haven’t spoken to him since I left the reunion. Why? He’s going to be here too?”

Honda and Otogi looks at each other in surprise. Nowadays it had been hard to keep those two apart, and if they were, they surely would know where the other is!

“So you guys did get into a fight…” assumes Honda, leaning over the top of the booth and staring down at the relaxed being below.

Blue eyes snaps open and looks at the pyramid-shaped head above him. “ Iie, it wasn’t anything like that. I just thought it was better to give him and his sister…some space.”

“Aww, is the CEO jealous, now that 100% of his puppy’s attention isn’t on him anymore?” coos Otogi also leaning over the top of the booth.

“Hardly, you idiot! It WAS a family reunion!” spats the brunet a little bit too harshly, which sort of defeated the whole purpose of his defense.
“Well, then I guess you don’t mind if she comes to hang out with us then. She and Jou should be coming in a few.” Otogi slyly replies, his head propped on his hand.

Kaiba breathe hitched as he stiffens. He slowly looks over to his brother who obviously heard the whole thing since an impish grin returns his stare. How in the hell did Mokuba know that they would see Shizuka here! Sometimes he has to wonder about the things his ototo must be getting into while his working…

“Well I’m done with closing!” Yugi announces as he, Ryou, and Mokuba plops in the same booth that the brunet is occupying.

“Any ideas on what to do tonight?” violet eyes shine in excitement.

However the question was once again temporarily forgotten as there was a sudden noise of someone attempting to get in.

Yugi quickly gets up to unlock the door for Jou, Shizuka, and…Tea?!

Rapidly the tension mounts to almost unbearable when the tri-colored teen opens the door a bit dazed.

“Hiya Yug’!” Jou greets loudly with a grin. He wears black jeans with a white tank-top that read “Proud Seme” written in kanji.

“Hey Jou…” Yugi greets back, weakly. He continues to stare at Tea who was winking at him. Ryou who was witnessing the exchange, frowns.

Jou wraps his arm around the tiny neck of his friend and gently forces him towards the booths as two giggling girls adorned in club-type clothing follows him. “Mah sistah just had the best idea! Why don’t we go to the skating rink! We haven’t…hot…damn…” Jou breathes out, abruptly forgets what else he had to say since it was no longer important.

Blue feminine eyes widen in shock, as Tea, who wears a frilly cloth white denim skirt and a black belly shirt that read 100% Attitude written in silver glitter, sneaks a peek over to her partner in crime, who did not look happy at all.

Serenity who wears a khaki daisy dukes and an army halter top, found herself paralyzed. This wasn’t supposed to happen! Why is Kaiba here?! Blue eyes look straight through her soul, as pale arms wrapped around a brawny body that had quickly covered his.

A pink tongue then slithers out to catch a hold of another eager tongue. Kaiba didn’t know which was sweeter…the hot mouth upon his or vengeance...hell both had won out in the end.

Not able to take it anymore, Shizuka stalks up to her moaning brother and slaps him violently on the shoulder. “Stop it, Kat-chan! We’re not here to see you acting like a horn dog!”

Jou steals a couple of more kisses with a lusty growl before before reluctantly backing off. He turns to his sister licking his lips. “Heh, sorry bout dat Shizu, I haven’t had mah fix in a couple of hours and besides, mah boyfriend is looking too damn hot right now!”

He then settles within the spread legs of his angel and basks in the warm arms that encircles him. “Don’t evah, get away from me like dat again!” Jou scolds lightly, tilted his head up to nibble a jaw line.

“Believe me pup. It won’t ever happen again.” Kaiba purrs huskily nuzzling into the blond hair that he loves so much. His eyes continue to speak volumes to the bratty little girl, who was looking a bit flustered.

“Why hello, Shizuka” , Kaiba greets in mock sweetness.

“Oh Kaiba, fancy meeting you here! I thought you had things to do at the office.” Shizuka asks returning the fake politeness.

“I decided that it was too beautiful of a night to sit in that dreadful office and decided to hang out with my…with my…homes??…uh…ah yes! I decided to hang out with my HOMIES. Homies. That’s it” Kaiba explains with a fake grin.

Jou chuckles at his lover’s attempt at “being with the times” as he kisses him for the effort.

“Wow, Ryou was right, Shizuka! You look great!” Honda compliments with a nod.

“Huh? Oh yea, thanks Honda. You don’t look too bad yourself…Kat-chan, we’re supposed to be going to skating rink!” the red-head girl whines in a high-pitch voice, desperately trying to pull her brother up from the brunet’s clutches.

Shaking his head, Kaiba steals a look at Mokuba who had his jaw down to the table. When soft grey eyes met his, he mouths the words, “Told you so” and proceeds to squeeze the body he was holding.

Heh, Mokuba was right. It sure beats squeezing his stuff puppy squeak toy. Kaiba found that he like the moans better.

“Calm down, kiddo! We in no rush! Why not have a seat and catch up with everyone! Tell everyone about you becoming an actress…or some shit…” Jou breathes out in a moan. He sure as hell did NOT feel like getting up right now, especially when pale hands just splayed themselves upon his chest and brushing over sensitive nubs. Fuck! Seto must really enjoy waddling like a penguin every gah-damn day…assuming if he could walk at all.

With a pout, Shizuka plops over on a chair across from the booths as her gold bangle bracelets jingles in emphasis. Tea quickly follows suit and sat down with her. “Don’t worry, Shizuka. They just jerks, remember?”

“Well hell, look what we have here.” Otogi retorts, knowing all along that Tea had been lying her ass off earlier. “We have two girls wearing clothing that cost money that they themselves didn’t most likely earn. One who’s a “star” without really doing shit and the other is just there being the trashy sidekick because she has no identity for herself…I say, it’s the Hilton sisters!”

“Hey man, lay off mah sistah!” Jou said in a warning tone. “She hasn’t done shit to you!”

Otogi just shrugs and as he stood up to stretch. “Well, tell your sister that if she’s gonna hang out with us, to leave the whining bullshit at home.”

Jou sighs irritably and quickly gets up as he sees water gathering up in his sister’s eyes. “Don’t worry about those assholes, Shizu. We’re going to the skating rink soon I promise.” He sits down beside her.

Mokuba who had seen enough, pipes in, “Ooooh, Oniisan! Don’t you have some great passes at Rollin’ Thunder, the biggest skating rink in this side of Japan?”

“You kiddin me.” Honda exclaims, getting excited. “Isn’t that the skating rink that’s three stories?! Man, I always wanted to go to that one but I could never make it before the security closes if off!”

“Yea it’s always crowded beyond capacity!” Otogi recalls his only time ever going there.

“Yea, I do.” Kaiba replies slowly, trying to figure just what his brother was up to. “All I have to do is make a phone call and we’re in.”

“Shit, well let’s go!” Honda shouts jumping up and grabbing his boyfriend.

“See, sis! Not only we get to go, my angel can set us up where we can go to the best one!” the blond said with a grin.

However, Shizuka for the first time since her arrival, is not paying attention to her brother, she stares straight ahead at the little Kaiba, not liking the gleam in the cold grey eyes.

Mokuba chuckles, keeping Shizuka away from his brother and Jou will be so much fun! Especially in a skating rink, he only hopes that pretty little purse carries band-aids…

To be continued…
