Chapter 7


Smoke and Mirrors


Ice is like a mirror in spots you can see your reflection as clear as day. In other areas of the ice your reflection can become distorted, blurred, and unclear. There are those who say the mirror is a window into your soul and if you look at it close enough you can see everything there the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Smoke comes from the fire that burns within the soul and can mask those images until somehow something happens to remove the smoke and your soul is bare for the entire world to see. Is it a weakness, some say it is but you can build strength from that weakness and make it stronger.

The ice breaks as the mirror shatters and the smoke thickens to hide the ice.

Jounochi (POV)

Jounochi was upset as was Seto. Whoever took that picture of him and Seto had invaded their privacy. Seto tried to find out who took it and was only told in was dropped off anonymously. Seto was furious, so the only thing he could do was admit that he was seeing me. The picture also caused a rift between me and my best friend Honda.

After the announcement I got a strange phone call from someone I only half trusted. It was surreal. He told me how Honda felt about me and then how he felt about Honda. I was in shock. I told him thanks that I would handle it and wait for a phone call.

I told Seto and he just smirked and then I told him what I needed to do. He gets up and hugs me and tells me to do what needs to be done. Now here I stand outside his door hoping for the best.

END (POV)

Smoke thickens as ice hardens.


Jounochi knew he must repair the damage that happened between him and his long time friend Honda when he found out about him and Seto he just didn’t know how. Everybody had accepted it including his sister and Anzu who called when she found out. Even Otogi who he didn’t particularly like had said that he was happy for him and Seto. Then why couldn’t one of his oldest friends accept he had to find out.

He stood outside the apartment where his friend lived and sigh and said to himself “It’s now or never. He went up to the door and knocked, as the door opened him and Honda just stared at each other.

As Jounochi stood in the doorway Honda couldn’t believe it. “What are you doing here?” he said in a bitter tone. Jounochi looks at him “We need to talk, can I come in?” Honda stood to one side and let him in.


Smoke gets thicker concealing the ice.

“Look Jou I don’t really want to talk right now.” Jou looks at his friend trying to understand why he is being like this. “Why are you treating me like this I thought we where friends.” Honda turned on Jou and with a bitter tone said “You’re sleeping with the enemy. Of all people why did you pick him? Why him?” Jou looks at him “Where is this all coming from. I know how Seto can be but I’ve seen a side of him that everyone seems to ignore.” Honda looking at his friend getting madder that he is sticking up for him “Why are you defending him all he has ever done is mistreat everyone around him especially you.” Jou sighs “Look he doesn’t mistreat everyone. He loves Mokuba and as for me he was just hiding his feelings behind everything he did and I saw through it and never gave up on him, on us.”

At this point Honda was truly pissed and he looked Jou straight in the face and said something he had promised himself he wouldn’t say “Don’t you get it I love you Jou for a long time but you never saw it and when I found out you where sleeping with Kaiba I just flipped out.” He turned away from Jou wrapping his arms around himself and started to cry.

Smoke clears image of the soul become clearer.

Jou just stood there not believing what he had just heard. The air had become thick with tension he couldn’t breathe he had to get out of there. “I’m sorry Honda I didn’t know. There has always been something there between me and Seto from the first time we met back in High School, don’t ask me to explain it, I can’t.

As he turns to leave Honda stops him. “Wait Jou I’m sorry it’s just that I don’t trust Kaiba.” Jou turns and looks at him “Do you trust me? Do you think that I would really be doing this if he was going to hurt me? If I believed that I wouldn’t be with him. When we are together it is like electricity. I have never felt like this before so trust me on this.” Honda looked down at the floor and says “I do trust you it’s him I don’t trust.” Jou sighs and looks at his friend “I’m leaving I should have known you wouldn’t listen to reason.” At that moment it hit him he knew that a certain party would be upset for telling him but this was his last chance for him to get Honda to understand the way he felt. “Look I know of someone that happens to like you and you are too blind to see it.” Honda looks at him “Who?” Jou says “It’s not my place to say but you know him very well.”

At this Jou leaves. He stands on the street and pulls out his cell phone and makes a call. “Hi, Yea it’s me look you should come over and talk to him, I can’t get through to him.” Jou hangs up the phone and walks off hoping that he can salvage a long standing friendship and put him together with someone he hopes he won’t reject.

As Honda watches his long time friend leave he just sighs and starts to cry. He knows he has lost his friendship possible forever.

A short time later a knock comes from the door he gets up hoping its Jou. When he opens the door who does he see but Ryuugi Otogi Dungeon Dice Monster creator.

Smokes clears the soul is revealed.

“Hi Honda we need to talk.” Honda though to himself “Boy I seem to be popular today. “What is it Otogi? If it is about Kaiba then forget about it and leave.” Otogi stands there in silence trying to put together his words carefully “No this isn’t about Kaiba it is about us.” Honda looks at him “Us what about us?” “I don’t know if you haven’t noticed but I care about you and before you say we are just friends hear me out. This goes beyond friends.” Honda looks at him stun so this was who Jou was talking about, Otogi.

The mirror is complete the smokes dies away.


“Otogi I know we have been seeing each other for awhile but my feeling for Jou go pretty deep. Deeper than I realized. So please understand until I sort this out and convince Jou he’s making a mistake I can’t be seeing you anymore.” At this Otogi sat there stunned he couldn’t believe Honda was throwing everything away that they had. He looks at Honda and makes a decision that would make or break what they had. “Honda I love you why can’t you see that and I thought you did as well?”

Honda shook his head and as he looked at him he said “I know you do but I love Jou and he is making a mistake all Kaiba is doing is using him and he is too blind to see it.” Otogi sighed and looked at him and said the strangest thing “Is he the one who is making a mistake or are you the one who is being stubborn and not seeing how much they care for one another?” Honda couldn’t believe that he was defending Kaiba and was willing to accept this relationship between Jou and Kaiba. “Are you crazy, has everyone gone crazy Kaiba is just using him and I’m not going to let him do that.” At this Otogi had enough if he was going to do this it was now or never he was going to lay the cards on the table even if that meant he would loose him forever. “That’s enough, you had better listen up I’m only going to say this once and if you want me too leave after this I will. You can’t control how someone feels. If they get hurt they get hurt, I know for a fact that If you keep this up not only will you loose Jou’s friendship but everyone elses as well as mine and then you will be alone.” Honda looked at him and at that moment he knew he was right. “I’m sorry you are right can you stay and talk?” Otogi nodded his head and gave him a hug.

Honda and Otogi sit for hours just talking with the realization that there was more to their relationship than he thought. He would have to thank Jou for making him realize that there is more behind the eyes that is the mirror to the soul.
