The Reason

I've been wanting to do this fan fic for the past who knows when. Anyway this is a Seto/Jou fic my favorite couple, I'm like obsessed or something, anyway everytime I heard this song I think of these two, as well as Bakura and Ryou but maybe I'll do one on those as well, but umm yeah. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh because Ra knows that I would have a lot more sex and a lot less dueling...and no more Anzu. I also don't own the songe Ree Reason by Hoobastank)...its not mine..I can't sing nor write music. Now on with the story.


~ ~ = Song Lyrics
" " = Speaking and such.

~I'm not a perfect person
as many things I wish I didn't do
but I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know~

Yes I Seto Kaiba admit that I am not a perfect person. No one would ever hear me say that, until recently. I have fallen for a certain blond puppy, at first I tried to ignore my feelings, pushing him away trying to keep my cold exterior up and running, couldn't let anyone know I was weak, I had been taught that since I was adpoted, but this isn't about that, no its about a puppy named Katsuya Jounouchi and how I feel for him and how I let my icyness melt.

It was about two in the morning when the phone rang off the hook. All the servents were gone for the night and only Mokuba and I were home. At first I ignored it but it wouldn't stop ringing, I cursed whoever turned the answering machine off and after the tenth ring I picked up the phone.

"What?!" I practically barked into the phone, how ironic, acting like the blond puppy I adored.

"K-kaiba?" a voice stuttered on the other line. At first I didn't recognize it, since I was still on the verge of sleeping but then it spoke again, "...you there?" this time it sunk it, it was Yugi, but it sounded like something was wrong, not that I cared at the moment.

"Motou this better be good...I was finally get-" I was cut off, how dare I get cut off, but that annoying twerp. I was about to cut him off and yell at him for attempting to call me before his words started to sink in.

"K-kaiba...I'm sorry for calling this late...but...Jou's in the hospital...I know you don't care but...your a friend...and..." there was a pause and the sound of a sob. Another voice was heard, a deeper one before the owner took ahold of the phone. It was as I expected, Yami, Yugi's darker half and now boyfriend, "Kaiba, Yugi needs you down here, we all do. Both you and Mokuba are our friends..." he kept rambling on but I didn't hear a word he said, I couldn't comprehend what was going on. My puppy was in the hospital? What had happened, I had to find out, but I couldn't talk, it was so hard to do so.

"Where are you?" I finally spoke, it took a while but it came out, and I tried to stay as calm as possible, but how could I. After getting the address and the room number, I quickly got dressed not caring how I looked. I knew I had to get Mokuba, him and Jou were really good friends and the only one that knew about the feelings I had for the blond. I was still in a state of shock as I woke him up but he complied an quickly dressed himself.

Not ten minutes after I hung up the phone the both of us were out the door and in my car. I don't remember right now what car it was. It was black and it was close and that was all that mattered. About five minutes after that we arrived. Good thing no cops were around I was driving must to fast for most of the drive. My knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel so tight and were still sore long after we had climbed out of the car.

Finding the waiting room near the room number that was given to me I entered. Everyone was there, the whole 'gang' as they liked to put it at times. Yami with a crying Yugi in his arms, Otogi and Tristan sitting somber next to each other comforting each other as well, Ryou crying in his own yami's arms although Bakura had the same pissed off look he had around others but he was comforting his hikari and I guess that was all that mred.red. Malik was there as well sitting on his koi's, Marik, lap, both with angry looks upon their faces like they wanted to go kill. I guess not everyone was there, that friendship spewing bitch wasn't, I guess there was some hope to this night.

I swallowed hard as Yami approached me and I glared down at him putting on my best act, I wasn't in drama classes for nothing, "Why was I called here? He isn't dead is he?" my voice was cold but it lacked the authority it held, it wasn't as convincing as I wanted it to be. I wanted to go to my puppy and confess everything that I felt, but I couldn't bring myself to do this.

~I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you~

"No..he isn't yet..." Yami whispered which caused Yugi to break out into sobs again, "...he came over to our house and he collasped, he was beaten. It was probably his father again, we don't know yet, he won't say a word, he is conscious but..." Yami stopped for a moment, he was angry but sad at the same time. You could tell by the look in his eyes that he was torn between emotions.

"Yami, is he going to live?" Mokuba called out from behind me in his childlike voice that sounded so scared at the moment.

Yami frowned and shook his head. My heart sunk at the moment but then Yami began to talk, "There isn't a good chance of it...thats what the doctors said."

This is when I lost it, I stormed out of the waiting room and straight toward Jou's room, I could hear footsteps behind me but I didn't care, the sight I saw struck me hard. My puppy barely awake tubes coming out of him everywhere. But he noticed me, he looked at me stared at me for a long time as I stared right back a tear coming from my eye, but I quickly blinked it back. I could feel Mokuba at my side and Yami right behind me, but I needed to be alone with him, I had to talk to him let him know how I felt. I don't care how he felt towards me but I had to get it out and let him know.

"Mokuba..." I started to say but he just nodded as he turned away from me. Yami watched carefully before Mokuba beckoned for him to follow and torn he did, the both of the moving back toward the waiting room. Closing the door behind me I walked forward. He was intensive care, and he needed it.

~I'm sorry that I hurt you
it's something I must live with everyday
and all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears
that's why I need you to hear~
I saw hurn urn away, I expected as much, with all that I put him through, he probably wouldn't even care or believe what I had to say, but I had to tell him. Moving to the chair beside his bed I sat down my eyes slowly looking up the ice had faded away only the look of worry and saddness was left, "Mu-...Puppy...I don't know how to say this..." I stopped I didn't know if I could go through with it, this could be my last chance and here I was debating on the fact if I should. I had to right there and there, "I know I've hurt you...and I know saying sorry won't take it away, but I am sorry. I know you won't believe me, but you can't leave me."
My eyes finally met his, honey meeting azure and tears hit my eyes. He was just staring at me still not saying a word, no come back no fighting words and I couldn't fight the tears anymore well the tear, a single tear slide down my cheek. The great Seto Kaiba crying, that was a first. I looked down to my hands again, how uncharacteristic of me.
"Jou, I won't let you leave me, I should have told you this sooner...but.." I stopped, my eyes looking into his so he could see that I meant it, "I love you. I've hidden it...but I do. I won't let you leave me." was that a smile I saw, no it couldn't be but soon his eyes closed. His meds must have kicked in.
At that time I came to a decision, no matter what it took I would get Jou out of her and out of that home of his, I had to. Slowly standing I looked at my golden haired puppy again before turning out of the room, the icy exterior going up. Mokuba was standing near the door waiting for me he could tell I was upset he knew. I glanced at him before stopping, "Mokuba go with the others, I'll be there in a minute."
I walked away then toward where I knew the doctors would be. I had been here before, for check ups for my company and when Mokuba had broken his arm, I knew where all the staff was. I was going to yell up a storm and start commanding people to do their jobs. I would pay for all the bills that came up and I would take care of my puppy. I wouldn't let him leave me, not yet.

~I've found a resaon for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that I do
and the reason is you ~
