Jounouchi could only continue stare at what had once been an apartment. Now it looked as if a tornado had ripped through it. Sure he hadn’t been home in well over two weeks but that didn’t mean it had to make a pig sty look clean!



Mountains of beer cans and bottles littered the floor, most were broken or crushed. There was evidence of cigarette burns in the couch, empty food containers all over the kitchen counter.



Taking a few deep calming breaths he stepped inside carefully. Keeping his golden eyes to the floor he stepped around the destruction as best he could. At least there was no sign of the ‘tornado’ that had, had its fun of destroying the place. There was no way in the seven hells that he was going to pick up after that rat bastard.



Finally making it to his room, he pushed open the door. He was glad that his stuff hadn’t been touched at all; in fact there seemed to be evidence of dust collecting in the stuffy room. Placing Seto on the bed he went to the closet to grab another bag for his clothes and the rest of his knickknacks to be stuffed into.



Seto watched Jounouchi from the bed as the blonde continued to quickly stuff his well, stuff into a bag. Jou seemed to be in too much of a hurry to decide what was too small or didn’t really need to go into said bag. Oh well, at least they didn’t have to stay there for much longer seeing as how the bag was getting full.



“Lets get the hell out of here puppy, it smells really bad!” Seto mewed. Jou stopped and looked around the room, swearing he just heard the word ‘puppy’ from someone.



“Okay, dat was creepy” he grumped to himself, shrugging it off. Jou could blame it on the smell of rotten food, there would most likely be mice in a month or two and defiantly annoying fruit flies. Placing a beaten up alarm clock into his bag he zipped it up and scooped Seto up again.



Opening his window he took in a few deep cleansing breaths of air before heading back into the chaos. Practically leaping over everything, Jou exited outside once again.



At least the apartment hadn’t been as bad as he had expected more of a nasty bite from reality really. He was half tempted to go back inside and see if his father had choked on the toxic fumes.



Shaking his shaggy blonde hair he set out once again. However instead of heading towards Tristan’s, he took a shortcut that lead to the more refined people of Domino. Seto poked his head out, noticing that they were heading in the direction that he lived and not ‘Fin heads’.



So, Jou was going to see Mokuba. About damn time in his opinion! A mental image of his spotless mansion in worse remains of Jou’s apartment flashed through his mind. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Seto glanced up at Jou, wondering if perhaps the visit was for another reason.



Before he had a chance to really ponder, they were already on his street. The area was quiet, dismal and looked down right frigid in the cold weather. Carefully avoiding ice on the sidewalk Jou made his way up to the mansion’s gates. With a sigh he reached out for the intercom button but a small voice beat him to it.



“Jou! What are you doing here?” so it was Mokuba, he sounded so melancholy to Seto’s ears. Jounouchi jumped at the quick reply of the younger Kaiba; getting a hold of himself he pushed the button to respond.



“I came ta see ya!” Jou answered clearing his voice a little.



“I appreciate it but now is not the best time Jou” Mokuba answered quickly, he sounded too rushed to both their ears.



“…Well at least call Yug’s late’ we just wanna know how ya are ‘n all”



“Okay, bye Jou!”



Then that was it, he had gone and no one else would respond back. Both Jou and Seto let out a sigh; everything seemed more chaotic than usual.



“Guess Kaiba did make da world go round” Jou mumbled, only half joking to himself. Seto scoffed, if he did make the world go round there would be no fucking snow, unless HE wanted it to be!



“Oh well, time ta head ta de new place!”



~~



The move in was a lot quicker than anyone had expected. Before Jou knew it, he was settled down with Tristan in only three days time and the apartment had still yet to be trashed! Stretching out on a cheap, off yellow leather couch, Jou couldn’t help but smile. Today had been the first day he had seen grass.



Sure, grass wasn’t that big of a deal and there had only been a little itty bitty patch but that meant that it was finally over.



However that brought dread crashing back on him at full force. That meant before he knew it, there would be a supposed funeral for his, secret not so secret want to be love slash walking iced-jerk bag! Yes, he was rambling but he had a right to! A light pressure on his stomach snapped him out of his trailing thoughts.



At least through it all he’d still have his newest companion. KC never wanted to leave his side, not for a moment. Though, he still longed for a more human companion someone who was seemingly just out of reach and yet close enough that he could practically hear him. Jou smiled as the while fur ball began to purr furiously while getting closer to his face.



Lately Jou noticed that Seto had been putting his paw on his nose just to let him know that he was there. It never ceased to make smile.



“Aww tanks KC I needed that”



Seto settled down on Jou’s chest. After he was comfortable he looked at him knowing that Jou would start talking to him. He didn’t mind of course, it was nice. Sure it was a little weird at first but now it was almost like routine.



“My siste’ ‘s commin’ up soon! She’ll just love ya, cause ya too cute!”



Jou rubbed Seto behind the left ears causing him to turn his head to the left and continue to purr. A chuckle caused the blonde to turn his head and glare.



“Too cute huh? I didn’t know you cared Jouno!” Tristan laughed knowing all too well that he was talking about the kitten.



“NOT you! Besides I’m gonna be keepin’ my eye on her de whole time! I know how you are!” Jou barked out practically baring his canine teeth.



“Down you old flea bag!” Of course it was okay when it was between friends.



“Not on ya life fin head!”



“Besides your mama thinks I’m a good match for her!”



“Den you can have my mama but ya keep ya hands off my siste’!”



They both laughed at this, only Seto found it highly annoying that they could bicker in such a moronic nature at one moment and find it funny the next. White ears instantly went flat against his furry head. He hopped off Jou’s chest and onto the windows ledge that was behind the couch.



‘I want to go home’ Seto grumped. Yeah, living with Jou was nice, very nice but he felt so LAZY doing nothing all day.



“Wanna get some take out bud?”



“Hell ya! Ya read my mind, ya sure ya ain’t psycho Trist?”



“You mean psychic?”



“Yeah, dats what I said psycho!”



Tristan pounced on top of the other teen catching the blonde into the head lock. Jounouchi grunted slightly and got out of the headlock easy enough and leaned towards the edge of the couch until both of them were on the floor. From there they both rolled around, performing different wrestling positions laughing the entire time.



Seto looked at them with a bored expression his ears still against his head.



“STUPID DOG YOU’RE GOING TO END UP HURT!!” he scolded of course to Tristan it sounded like regular mews but to Jou he swore he heard the word ‘dog’ again. This of course ended in his early defeat with Tristan sitting on his back his ‘macho’ face back on.



“That means dinners on you jou!”



Jou groaned and slammed his head back to the floor before agreeing. Once Tristan was off his back he got up off the floor and grabbed the phone.



“So, I’m thinkin’ some yakusoba’d hit de spot!”



“Sounds good! Get the number one!”



Seto relaxed a little. For the first time he wasn’t worried over the fortune cookie at least it wasn’t Chinese food.



~~



The food was there in gone in less than thirty minutes. Seto by now wasn’t surprised that they both could literally INHALE their food without choking.



After a little while Tristan managed to grab the fortune cookies and tossed one to Jou which ended up smacking him lightly in the face.



“Hey! Oh, cool” Jou of course was still quiet full and didn’t want to eat the cookie just glance at the fortune. After shredding the plastic he cracked open the cookie and grabbed the slip of paper that lay inside it.



“You must lose to gain but you never did lose it in the first place”



Tristan slowly looked over at Jou with a raised eyebrow.



“You think your fortune cookie is messed up mine read, ‘give it up, you loser’*” Jou laughed at that but stopped suddenly because it hurt his stomach which was extremely full. He couldn’t help but do it again, complaining about it hurting until he finally calmed down.



He couldn’t quite remember much after that. He remembered playing games until about one and finally crashing on the couch. Seto lightly jumped on his stomach again but Jou didn’t budge too tired to do much.



“You’re beautiful even if you can be moronic puppy…my puppy”



~~



Jou yawned and stretched, blindly he reached down to pet Seto but he wasn’t there. He wasn’t worried though, he simply thought that the little kitten was off eating food, playing or being drenched by Blanky. Waking up a little more, he noticed that the apartment seemed all too quiet.



Getting up Jou quickly and carefully made his way to answer the call of nature. Once he was done, cleaner and more refreshed he set out to look for the fluffy kitten. He did a small search and with slight horror realized that there had been a window open the whole night. Of course they were on the first floor so he didn’t have to worry about the little guy falling to death but running away was a huge possibility!



Grabbing a coat and slipping on his shoes he dashed out the door making sure to check every where around the apartment before he began to head towards the city. Sure more people were out but not as much as it usually was and the roads were still too dangerous to take snow trucks out.



The minutes melted into a couple of hours before Jou knew it. He was down town searching in the alleys. Those were the best bet. He had found a few cats but they either scampered off or seemed to be doing alright.



Just barely turning to go down a dark alley he heard a slight groan and nearly had a heart attack.



There Seto was full human bodied, practically buried in the snow. His hair covered his right eye, the left looked glassed over as if made from actual ice. His lips indeed were the same color as his eye but thankfully he was breathing, if barely. Coming to his senses he quickly picked the frozen CEO up.



“Hang in dere, because I’ll kill ya again if ya die on me!”
