Chapter Seventeen
Jounouchi
slips on his high-cut white lace panties before sitting down on his bed to pull
up the thigh-high nylons. He stands once the nylons are in position and he
walks into his closet where he left the dress for the evening. He pulls the
white fabric from the hangar and steps into it. He pulls it up and leaves the
back open as he heads out of the closet. He steps into the shoes he already set
out before he enters the bathroom and puts on his golden blond wig that he has
pre-styled with the hair piled on top in a sexy yet sophisticated fashion. He
secures the small crystal tiara into his hair before looking through his
jewelry for the seventh time that evening. He sighs and lifts the pearl
necklace with the dangling blue heart as well as a white gold necklace with a
hanging pearl.Jounouchi
carries the two necklaces out of the room and walks down the hall to Seto’s
bedroom. He knocks loudly. “Seto! I need some help and an opinion!”“Door’s
open,” calls Seto, “I’m just putting on some finishing touches to my outfit!”Jounouchi
opens the door and steps inside. He closes it behind him and looks around to
see Seto coming out of the bathroom trying to fix the top button on his collar.
He eyes up the black tuxedo pants with the ivory double-breasted uniform-style
jacket, and his heart starts to pound faster. “Gods, you look gorgeous!”Seto looks
up when he hears Jounouchi’s words, and he blushes. He looks over Jounouchi’s
outfit as his hands fall from the undone button he was working with.Jounouchi
wears a white princess-style ball gown with the full-length, puffy circle skirt
and the formfitting bodice with cap-sleeves and square neckline. The clear
crystal-sequined pumps barely peek out from beneath the hemline of the dress,
but they can be seen. Overall, he looks rather a lot like Cinderella.“Marvelous!
You look absolutely marvelous, Kat!” exclaims Seto, “Truly exquisite!
Beautiful!”“I need
help with the zipper,” says Jounouchi turning his back to Seto.Seto walks
up to Jounouchi and strokes his back for a moment before carefully raising the
zipper. He inhales the sweet scent of Jounouchi’s perfume. “And you smell
divine.”“Thank you,
Seto,” says Jounouchi leaning back against Seto.“You
mentioned an opinion?”Jounouchi
lifts the two necklaces so Seto can see them. “Which should I wear with this
dress?”“They’re
both beautiful, and both would look great with this dress. I can see why you’re
having trouble deciding,” says Seto.“Well, I
need a decision!” exclaims Jounouchi.“When in
doubt, ask for help,” says Seto moving to the nightstand and grabbing his cell
phone, “Turn towards me.”Jounouchi
turns to face Seto, and he smiles when Seto uses the phone’s internal camera to
snap a picture of him in the dress.Seto takes
pictures of the two necklaces as well and sends the three pictures along with a
quick text message to Shalara. “Let’s go ask Mokuba what he thinks. He should
be in his room doing homework.”“Okay,”
says Jounouchi, “And then I’ll fix that button for you.”Seto
blushes. “Thank you.”Jounouchi
takes the lead as they head towards Mokuba’s room. He steps into the open
doorway. “Mokuba?”“Hi,
Jounouchi,” says Mokuba not looking up from his desk where he sits with open
books and a pencil in hand.“Mokuba, we
need an opinion,” says Seto stepping up behind Jounouchi.“Sure.
What’s,” says Mokuba setting his pencil down and turning to look up at them,
“uh… You look great!”“Which
necklace do you think?” asks Jounouchi walking over to show Mokuba the jewels.Seto’s
phone rings, and the brunet answers it after only one ring. “What do you think,
Shalara?”“I think
they’re both beautiful,” says Mokuba, “and I can see reasons why you would want
to wear one over the other. You might want to wear the white one because that’s
all you’re wearing for color, but you might want to wear the blue one to add a
little splash of color. I kind of think maybe the blue.”“Kat,
Shalara thinks you should wear the blue heart to add a bit of color to your
ensemble,” says Seto.“Okay!”
exclaims Jounouchi, “Mokuba, will you help me put it on?”“Sure!”
Mokuba stands up and climbs onto his chair to get some height. He takes the
necklace from Jounouchi and wraps it around the blond’s neck before fastening
it closed. “You’re all set! You look wonderful, Kat. You’re going to be the
belle of the ball!”“Thanks,
Mokuba,” says Jounouchi before stepping up to Seto and easily slipping the last
button into its hole. He leans forward to speak into the phone. “Thank you for
the help, Shalara! I hope we didn’t disturb you too much!”Seto’s lips
curl into a smile. “Shalara says she wasn’t doing anything important.”“I’m going
to put this other necklace away,” says Jounouchi before slipping past Seto and
out of the room. He returns to his bedroom and places the white gold necklace
back in its box in the bathroom drawer.Seto steps
into the doorway. “Come on, Kat! We need to go! We don’t want to be late!”Jounouchi
steps out of the bathroom. “Well, let’s go then! I’m ready!”Seto holds
out his arm for Jounouchi, and he smiles when his boyfriend takes it with a
light blush. He guides them downstairs where they put on their coats, Jounouchi
wearing a fur-lined wrap, before heading out to the limo that drives them to
the hotel where the event is taking place in one of the largest ballrooms. “I
think this is the first time that this charity fundraiser has been held in
Japan.”“Really?
Where is it normally?” asks Jounouchi raising an eyebrow.“It changes
countries every year. Last year it was in London. The year before it was in Los
Angeles. Prior to that it was in Paris, and before that Moscow, and before that
it was in New York,” says Seto, “I think you would have liked New York.”“Maybe,”
says Jounouchi.“Maybe I’ll
take you there some day,” says Seto.“If I let
you!” Jounouchi fidgets with the fake fur of his wrap.“How do you
feel?”“A little
anxious. I can’t wait to meet Remus,” says Jounouchi, “I want to see how I
stack up to him.”“I think
you stack up pretty favorably,” says Seto wrapping his arm around Jounouchi’s
shoulders.Jounouchi
cuddles up to Seto.The limo
pulls up in front of the hotel, and a doorman opens the door.Seto climbs
out of the back seat and holds out his hand for Jounouchi. He ignores the
cameras flashing around him as he helps his date from the car.Jounouchi
takes Seto’s arm again and smiles politely to the cameras as they walk into the
hotel. He allows Seto to guide them towards the ballroom.“Ready,
beautiful?” whispers Seto as they reach the open doors.“I’m not
that beautiful,” whispers Jounouchi, “but I am ready.”Seto helps
Jounouchi remove his wrap before pulling off his own coat. He takes Jounouchi’s
hand while holding both coats with one hand, and he guides them into the
ballroom. He passes the coats to the young man waiting along the side to
collect the garments, and he pockets the tickets he receives in return. “This
way. We have to say a brief hello to the chairwoman before we can mingle with
the rest of the crowd.”“Okay.
Who’s the chairwoman?” asks Jounouchi as they walk further into the room.“I think
you might recognize her,” says Seto smirking.“Who?” asks
Jounouchi smiling.“Madam
Chairwoman,” says Seto walking up to a woman in a sleek black evening gown.The woman
turns towards Seto and smiles. She bows slightly. “Kaiba Seto! A pleasure to
see you here!”Seto bows
to the woman. “It is a pleasure to see you as well, Maggie Smith. I hear your
acting career is doing well.”“Yes, quite
well,” says Maggie turning her eyes to Jounouchi, “And who is your lovely
companion?”“This is my
girlfriend, Suya Kat,” says Seto, “Kat, I would like to introduce you to Maggie
Smith.”Jounouchi
bows slightly. “A pleasure to meet you.”“The
pleasure is mine,” says Maggie with a nod of her head, “I hope you enjoy the
party.”“You take
time to enjoy the party yourself,” says Seto before guiding Jounouchi away with
a gentle tug.“She… she
plays Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series,” whispers Jounouchi.“Yes she
does. But she’s played other things as well,” says Seto.“I’m sure
she has, but I don’t remember seeing anything else she’s been in,” says Jounouchi
looking around the room, “Wow, there are a lot of famous people here.”“Charity is
good business,” says Seto, “but you didn’t come here to meet them. You came
here tonight to meet Remus, and I see him now.”Jounouchi
stops walking and takes a deep breath.“Are you…?”
“Introduce
me, Seto,” says Jounouchi looking into Seto’s eyes with determination shining
in his own, “I’m ready to go meet the first person you liked. Let’s go. Where
is he?”“Right this
way, Kat,” says Seto wrapping his arm around Jounouchi’s waist and guiding him
towards the bar.“Seto… will
he approve of me?”“He’ll love
you,” whispers Seto, “but remember that you’re coming home with me.”“I wouldn’t
want to go home with him,” says Jounouchi blushing.Seto smiles
as they reach the bar. “Two mimosas, please, with club soda.”“Yes, sir,”
says the bartender starting to make the drinks.Seto meets
the gaze of the blond man standing beside him. “Hello, Remus.”“Hello,
Seto,” says the blond smiling. His brown eyes turn to Jounouchi. “And who is
this lovely lady?”“Suya Kat,”
says Jounouchi extending his hand to the other blond, “And you?”“Remus
Black.” He takes Jounouchi’s hand and quickly lifts it to his lips for a kiss.Jounouchi
blushes. “Nice to meet you, Remus.”“Kat is my
girlfriend,” says Seto removing his arm from Jounouchi’s waist and taking the
two champagne glasses from the bartender. He offers one to Jounouchi. “These
are non-alcoholic. I know you prefer it.”“Thank
you,” says Jounouchi. He takes a small sip.Remus takes
his two glasses of champagne and turns towards Seto. “Should we go sit down at
our table and chat for a bit?”“Would you
like to sit, Kat?” asks Seto wrapping his arm around Jounouchi’s waist again
and squeezing him slightly.“That
sounds nice,” says Jounouchi smiling.“Good! Then
you can meet my fiancée!” exclaims Remus leading the way towards the table.“Fiancée?”
asks Seto following behind with Jounouchi in arm.“Yeah,”
says Remus, “I still can’t believe she said yes!” He steps up to the table
where a woman with chin-length black hair sits wearing a black and white gown
in a style not too dissimilar from Jounouchi’s. He passes her a glass of
champagne. “Look, Siri. Seto’s here with a girlfriend.”“Really?”
asks the woman turning to look at Seto before looking at Jounouchi. She smiles
and stands up carefully. She curtseys. “It is a pleasure to see you, Seto, and
a finer pleasure to meet you, young lady.”Jounouchi
curtseys, being extra careful not to spill his drink. “Good evening to you. I
am Suya Kat.”“I am Siri
Mackenzie,” says the woman, “and you are positively charming! Sit down! Sit
down! We’ll get one of the waiters to drop off a plate of appetizers and we’ll
talk!”Seto holds
out a chair across from Siri for Jounouchi.Jounouchi places
his glass down and uses both hands to help control his dress as he sits down on
the edge of his seat. “Seto tells me that you are from England, Remus.”“Yes,” says
Remus holding out the chair for Siri just the way Seto did, “Siri and I have a
loft in London.”“What is
London like?” asks Jounouchi.“It’s
wonderful! Nothing like Domino at all. I would fashion to say that London is
more like Tokyo, lively,” says Remus sitting down beside Siri.“Is that
where you two met?” asks Jounouchi taking Seto’s hand in his after the brunet
sits down beside him, “In London?”“Yes,” says
Siri, “We met at a function not that different from this one.”“Siri, I
would call a nightclub much different from a charity dinner,” says Remus.“You met at
a nightclub?” asks Jounouchi raising an eyebrow at Seto, “And you said you met
Remus where again?”“My father
used to do business with the former head of Kaiba Corp,” says Remus, “and we
met through them. Business meetings that we were forced to sit through, boring
parties where we were the only ones even remotely close to our own ages. We
didn’t meet at a nightclub if that’s what you’re thinking, Kat!”“Nice to
see at least two people here have their stories straight,” says Jounouchi
taking a gulp of the liquid in his glass.A waiter
passes by and offers Seto an appetizer.Seto
whispers to him, and the waiter deposits the tray of appetizers on the center
of the table.“I don’t
like people thinking that I picked up Remus in a bar,” says Siri, “And that’s
what they think when I tell them where we met. They think I’m a slut.”“Well, you
certainly don’t look like a slut, and you don’t act like one,” says Jounouchi
eyeing the appetizers on the plate, “and trust me… I live around a lot of sluts
so I know how to recognize them.”“You live
around sluts?” asks Remus raising an eyebrow.Jounouchi
lifts a small piece of bread with a cucumber and something he doesn’t recognize
on it. Before he takes a small bite of it, he says, “Yes. There’s an
established prostitution house just down the street from where I live.”“I wasn’t
aware of that,” says Seto.“I didn’t
want you to know,” says Jounouchi. He places the rest of his small treat into
his mouth and looks away. “After all, what would you really need me for then?
They’re cheaper.”“You’re
nicer,” begins Seto.“So how did
you two meet?” interrupts Siri quickly.“That isn’t
important,” says Jounouchi.“How about
answering a question that is important then?” asks Remus.“What
question?” asks Seto.Remus
glances at Siri before leaning forward.Jounouchi
and Seto lean forward as Siri does the same.“Are you
really a man, Kat?” whispers Remus.Jounouchi’s
eyes widen.Seto’s eyes
narrow.“We both
know that Seto is gay,” whispers Siri, “We both are as well. My masculine name
is Sirius Mackenzie.”“I’m
Jounouchi Katsuya, and yeah. I’m a guy,” whispers Jounouchi, “We’ve known each
other for awhile now. We go to school together.”“Yes,” says
Seto leaning back and selecting an appetizer for himself, “I met Kat through a
friend of ours. His name is Jounouchi. And I couldn’t be more thankful to him
that he introduced me to her.”Jounouchi
grabs a cracker with shrimp on it before leaning back. “Yeah. Me too.”Siri leans
back with a giggle. “You two are adorable together!”“Yeah,” says
Remus wrapping his arm around Siri’s shoulders, “Were we ever that sickeningly
sweet, Siri?”“Oh, I hope
not,” says Siri.Jounouchi
leans against Seto.“Have I
told you that you look beautiful tonight, Kat?” asks Seto lifting an appetizer
to Jounouchi’s lips.“You might
have mentioned it,” whispers Jounouchi blushing before taking a small bite from
the cracker.“In any
case, I don’t think I did you justice,” says Seto, “You’re far more than
beautiful.” He places the rest of the cracker into his own mouth and smiles at
Jounouchi.“Oh, to be
young and in love again!” exclaims Siri.“But you
are, Siri,” says Remus.Jounouchi
snaps to attention. “We’re not in love!”“You’re
not?” asks Remus looking back and forth between the two. He notices the crestfallen
look in Seto’s eyes before it gets locked away behind a mask of unfeeling ice.Siri
notices the fear and uncertainty shine in Jounouchi’s eyes, and she takes
Remus’s hand in hers.“If you’re
not in love, then what are you doing together?” asks Remus, “I swear if you’re
just using Seto for his money, I will kill you!”“I’m not! I
like him. I really like him, but I don’t love him yet,” says Jounouchi, “Maybe
someday, but love doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes time… like a flower.
First you plant the seeds, then you water it and nurture it until finally it
blooms.”“So you do
care for him, genuinely care for him?” asks Siri.Jounouchi
smiles. “Yeah. I do.”Remus
breathes a sigh of relief. “Good.”Jounouchi
turns towards Seto and kisses his lips quickly.“So are you
falling in love?” asks Siri.Jounouchi
blushes bright red and quickly drains his glass. “I’m going for another drink!
Anyone else want one?”“No thank
you,” says Siri, “We’ll get more drinks later.”Jounouchi
rises and carries his champagne glass towards the bar.“Are you,
Seto?” asks Remus.“I can’t
fall when I’ve already hit rock bottom,” says Seto smiling. He lowers his voice
to a whisper, “I’ve been in love from the start, but she doesn’t know that. She
still thinks she’s not attracted to men. Although she is slowly becoming more
adventurous.”“So you’re
not having sex?” asks Remus.Seto sighs.
“I wish. We kiss, and she’ll pleasure me by hand once in awhile now, but she
refuses to allow me to do the same to her. She’s embarrassed.”“She’ll
come around,” says Siri with a smile.Jounouchi
walks back up to the table chatting amicably with a woman just a year or two
older than himself.Seto raises
an eyebrow when he sees the redhead.“Guess who
I met?” asks Jounouchi setting his glass down on the table.“I’ve never
seen her before,” says Siri.“I think
the fine lady is referring to me,” says Otogi stepping up to the table from
behind the two fanciful dresses, “Good to see you, Kaiba.”“Otogi, I
wasn’t aware you were so charitable,” says Seto.“What
good’s money if I don’t try to help people with it?” asks Otogi, “There are a
few charities which are dear to me. This one however is important to my
secretary, and she’s such a good worker that I make a donation to it on her
behalf. Speaking of, this is Li Maki, my secretary.”The woman
nods her head acknowledging the people sitting at the table. She whispers
something to Otogi.“Enjoy your
evening,” says Otogi smiling, “I have a few more friends to introduce Maki to.”The woman
follows Otogi away.Jounouchi
sits down again. He leans against Seto.The small
group talks and eats for the duration of the evening, and they move onto the
dance floor with some of the other couples to show their skill and dance moves.Seto kisses
Jounouchi’s forehead as they dance together one final time for the evening.“I could
fall in love with moments like these,” whispers Jounouchi cuddling into Seto’s
chest.Seto smiles
and whispers, “Yeah.”Jounouchi
leans up to kiss Seto on the lips quickly. “Let’s go home now. I’m tired. I’d
like to go to bed.”“Then we
will,” says Seto wrapping his arm around Jounouchi’s waist and leading him
towards the door to collect their coats before they leave together.* * *
Jounouchi
yawns as he sits at his desk. He flips to the entertainment section of the
newspaper and scans the page just like he’s been doing almost every day since
he heard of Genesis reuniting for a tour. His eyes widen and he smiles
ecstatically when he sees the promo for the concert, which will be in Tokyo in
January and the tickets are now on sale. He scribbles a quick note before
tossing it towards Yugi.Yugi reads
the note. ‘Genesis tickets on sale. Road trip to Tokyo. You in?’ He
smiles and writes back, ‘Can Ryou come?’Jounouchi
reads the note and nods when he sees Yugi looking at him. He writes, ‘Of
course… Hey, Ryou? Can you come?’ Then he tosses the note to Yugi.Yugi reads
the note before passing it over to Ryou.Ryou reads
the note and writes his response before sending it back.‘I’ve
never been to Tokyo. I think I’d like to try it!’ Jounouchi smiles when he
reads the words. He scribbles some more before tossing the note to Anzu.Anzu reads
the note before writing back and tossing the note to Jounouchi.Jounouchi
reads Anzu’s reply before writing another note and tossing the paper to Seto.Seto reads
the note. ‘Genesis tickets on sale. Road trip to Tokyo. You in? Can
Ryou come? Of course… Hey, Ryou? Can you come? I’ve never been to Tokyo. I
think I’d like to try it! Hey, Anzu, Yugi and Ryou said yes. What about you?
Care to go to Tokyo with me? I have to ask my parents. They don’t care if I go
away with you guys when there’s an adult present, but they’re getting fussy
about it now otherwise. Seto… I know you probably have to work, and you
probably wouldn’t want to spend so much time with my other friends, but do you
think you can come? I’m going to ask Otogi and Malik to come too. Otogi has a
really big SUV that I want to borrow for the trip. Please at least think about
it.’Seto thinks
for a moment. He writes back, ‘I have a business meeting this afternoon, but
I believe I can reschedule it. I would like to join you on your road trip. I’ll
have to confirm and get back to you after lunch.’Jounouchi
reads Seto’s response once the brunet tosses it back to him. He writes a few
words and tosses it back to Seto.‘I
eagerly await your response.’ Seto smiles and pockets the note.* * *
Seto
listens to the ranting of the person on the other end of the cell phone, and he
sighs. “And there’s no other options?”Jounouchi
and his group of friends walk into the room and talk quietly amongst themselves
once they see Seto on the phone.Seto sighs
again. “Fine. I’ll take care of it. Good-bye.”“Is
something wrong, Seto?” asks Jounouchi when Seto closes the phone and slams his
fist into his desk.“There’s a
problem with Kaibaland America. A serious problem,” says Seto, “I’m afraid I’ll
have to miss your road trip. I need to fly to New York and take care of it
myself.” He looks into Jounouchi’s eyes seriously and continues, “I hate to ask
this of you on such short notice, especially since you’re going on a small
vacation, but can you take care of Mokuba until I get back?”“I’d have
to take him with me,” says Jounouchi.“That would
be acceptable,” says Seto, “You can take my car and driver, and I’ll arrange a
hotel for you all so that you can spend the night in Tokyo.”“That’s
very nice of you, Kaiba,” says Ryou, “but we weren’t planning on spending the
night.”“If Mokuba’s
going with you, you’re staying the night in Tokyo,” says Seto, “I’ll pay for
everything.”“Thanks,”
says Jounouchi.“I’ll be
leaving school now. I’ll see you when I return to the mansion, Jou,” says Seto
packing up his belongings.“Okay,”
says Jounouchi, “I’ll make sure Mokuba eats healthy.”“Thank
you,” says Seto before heading out of the classroom.* * *
Jounouchi
throws his overnight bag into the trunk of the minivan, and he smiles at the
driver as he climbs into the passenger seat. “Thanks a lot for agreeing to
drive us to Tokyo. I know you get paid for it and all, but I really appreciate
it.”“It is my
honor, Jounouchi-sama,” says the driver seriously.Jounouchi
turns to look in the back seat where Mokuba sits beside Otogi. He looks further
back to see Ryou and Yugi sitting in the far back seat. “Anzu and Malik
couldn’t come?”“When we
swung by to get Anzu, her parents said she wasn’t allowed on a road trip with
boys,” says Otogi.“And Malik
said that Isis desperately needed his help at the museum. He looked really
pissed off though. I think he wanted to go,” says Ryou.“We didn’t
stop by to see if Honda wanted to come,” says Yugi.“I don’t
think Seto would appreciate him near his car,” says Mokuba.“Good.
Because I didn’t invite Honda,” says Jounouchi turning to sit in his seat
properly. He sighs sadly. “I don’t know if I can be buds with him anymore. I
want to, but I don’t know if it’s possible.”“Jounouchi-sama?”
“Yeah?”
asks Jounouchi turning his attention to the driver.“It might
not be my place to say, but could this Honda-san want you in a romantic way?”
asks the driver, “If he had romantic intentions towards you, perhaps that would
explain why he is so against you being close to Kaiba-sama. He might see him as
competition for your affections.”“Oh, gods!
That makes sense!” exclaims Yugi.“What?
Honda’s straight!” exclaims Jounouchi.“But you’re
not, Jounouchi,” says Mokuba, “and maybe it’s not romantic interest, but that
Honda sees other men taking your attention away from him and he’s getting upset
about that.”“You’re
gay, Jounouchi?” asks Otogi, “I didn’t know that!”“I’m not
gay!” exclaims Jounouchi staring straight ahead out the windshield, “I’m not…
I… I can’t be.”“What’s
wrong with being gay?” asks Ryou clutching Yugi’s hand desperately.“There’s
nothing wrong with being gay,” says Jounouchi sighing. He slips from the front
seat and moves back to Ryou and Yugi, allowing all his friends to see the tears
rolling from his eyes. “There’s nothing wrong with being gay if you actually
are gay. There’s nothing wrong with being gay if you don’t live with a
homophobe. I don’t have a problem with you guys being gay. I’m extremely happy
for you both, really…”Yugi wipes
the tears from Jounouchi’s face. “Are you gay, Jounouchi?”“I don’t
want to be.”“No one
wants to be gay, Jounouchi!” exclaims Otogi, “I certainly didn’t want to wake
up one morning after having a sex dream about another guy! But I did, and I
dealt with it, and now I’m gay.”“Are you
attracted to men, Jounouchi?” asks Yugi pulling Jounouchi into an embrace.Jounouchi
blushes. “Maybe one or two.”“So are you
gay?” asks Ryou, “Or do you think maybe you might be bisexual?”“I am gay,”
says Jounouchi slowly.“And how do
you feel about that?” asks Otogi.“Kind of
relieved,” says Jounouchi smiling, “I’ve known for a while that it was true,
but I could never say it out loud. It feels good to finally admit it. Just
don’t go asking me about any crushes or anything!”Mokuba
giggles. “We won’t!”“Oh, you leave
me alone!” exclaims Jounouchi hiding his blushing face in Yugi’s shoulder.“What do
you know that we don’t, Mokuba?” asks Yugi.“I know a
thing or two about Jounouchi’s crush,” says Mokuba.“Yeah. Seto
has introduced me to some of his friends,” says Jounouchi, “And I like one of
them. By the way he acts, I think he likes me too.”Mokuba
smiles. “He might even love you if you give him the chance.”Jounouchi
blushes. “Maybe I’ll buy a ticket for him too.”“I think
that’s a great idea,” says Ryou.“Now! Who
would like to sing a few songs to get us in the mood?” asks Mokuba, “Will you
put in the CD please?”The driver
slides a CD into the player and the joyful sounds of Genesis emerge from the
speakers.The five
boys sing along with the band as they travel towards Tokyo.* * *
Jounouchi
starts bouncing in his seat as the large building looms into view. “That’s it!
That’s where the concert will be held!”“It’s a
large concert hall, isn’t it?” asks Yugi.“There are
larger,” says Mokuba, “Seto and I have been to a few.”“And the
concert’s being held the day after my birthday!” exclaims Jounouchi excitedly,
“It will be a great birthday present to come see it!”The car
pulls up in front of one of the many entrances to the stadium.Otogi opens
the side door and climbs out first before Jounouchi can scramble out of the
minivan.Jounouchi
fidgets excitedly as Yugi and Ryou climb out before Mokuba. He grabs Mokuba’s
hand as soon as the smaller boy closes the door, and he drags him inside with his
friends trailing a step behind. He freezes when he sees a sign taped to the
ticket booth.“Why’d you
stop?” asks Ryou bumping into Jounouchi’s back.Jounouchi
falls to his knees.“Oh, no!”
exclaims Otogi with wide eyes when he reads the sign.“I don’t
understand,” says Yugi.“They just
went on sale today. How could they be sold out?” asks Mokuba looking back and
forth between the older teens to see if any of them have an answer, “I didn’t
think there were that many Genesis fans in Japan.”“All this
way… for nothing,” says Jounouchi as tears start to fall from his eyes.Otogi and
Ryou get on either side of Jounouchi and help the distraught blond to his feet.“It’ll be
okay, Jounouchi,” says Mokuba, “We’ll do something really special for your
birthday. Maybe fly to New York or something.”“There will
be other concerts,” says Yugi.“But I
wanted… I had the money to go to this one!” exclaims Jounouchi as Ryou and
Otogi help him outside and back into the minivan.“That was
quick,” says the driver.“They’re
sold out,” says Mokuba climbing in and sitting down in the far back seat beside
Jounouchi.Otogi sits
down on Jounouchi’s other side as Yugi and Ryou climb in to take the middle
seat for themselves.“I’ll drive
us to the hotel now,” says the driver.Jounouchi
hides his face in Otogi’s shoulder and cries as the minivan moves away from the
concert hall.“How about
we order room service instead of going out for dinner?” asks Mokuba, “We can
order one of everything on the menu and then sample some of it all. I’m sure
Jounouchi can finish whatever the rest of us don’t want!”“Okay,”
mumbles Jounouchi, “as long as we get dessert first. I need chocolate.”“No
problem,” says Mokuba.Jounouchi
pulls away from Otogi and wipes his eyes. He mumbles a quiet “thanks” and wraps
his arm around Mokuba.“Are you
okay now, Jounouchi?” asks Otogi.“No, but
I’m better. I was just really looking forward to going to this concert,” says
Jounouchi, “This is the first time I’ve ever really had the money to go to a
concert. Before now, I’ve always spent all my cash on Duel Monsters cards or
tournaments. When I read in the paper that the band was coming to Japan, I
started saving everything that Seto’s paid me. I wanted specifically to go to
this concert.”“Maybe it
will be televised,” says Yugi.“It
wouldn’t be the same,” says Jounouchi with a sigh.“So… Are
Kaiba and Suya out on a special date this weekend? Is that why Mokuba’s here
with us?” asks Otogi.“My brother
had to make an emergency trip to America,” says Mokuba, “I doubt he’s even
going to see Kat at all this weekend.”“Oh,” says
Otogi, “So you’re really working this weekend, huh, Jounouchi?”“Yeah, but
speaking of Kat… She kind of let it slip that she wanted to meet more of Seto’s
friends,” says Jounouchi, “I know she’s mentioned meeting all of you guys
around, but she hasn’t met all our group. I wouldn’t be able to go because I’d
be babysitting Mokuba, but I thought maybe the gang could all go out clubbing
some weekend.”“That
sounds great!” exclaims Ryou.“I’m
positive Anzu would say yes. She’s been dying to meet Kat,” says Yugi.“Depending
on when it is, I could go,” says Otogi.“Kat will
be glad to hear it,” says Jounouchi, “I’ll mention the idea to Seto.”The minivan
pulls up in front of the hotel.The doorman
opens the sliding door while the valet hurries around to help the driver out
and take his place.Everyone
climbs out of the minivan and grab their overnight bags from the trunk. They
head inside and watch the driver move up to the counter and return with a
single room key.“Only one
room?” asks Otogi, “Damn! Kaiba’s so cheap!”“It’s the
Emperor’s suite,” says Mokuba as they all head to the elevator.“Really?
Impressive,” says Otogi.“There are
only four bedrooms though,” says the driver.“We’ll just
have to share,” says Mokuba.“Jounouchi
can stay in a room with me,” says Otogi smiling at the blond as they enter the
elevator.Yugi looks
at Otogi suspiciously, but he doesn’t say anything.“And of
course, Yugi and I will share,” says Ryou.The
elevator doors open, and they all make their way to their room.Mokuba
immediately heads to the phone to call room service and put in their order
while the others toss their bags to the floor and sit down around the room. He
hangs up after a long moment and turns on the television before sitting down
beside Jounouchi.“I’ll leave
you to do whatever young people do,” says the driver before heading into one of
the bedrooms with his bag.* * *
Seto lifts
his cell phone to his ear to listen to the voice mail messages. He gives a
small smile when he hears the voice of his chauffeur.<< We
have arrived safely in Tokyo, Kaiba-sama. Our first stop was of course the
concert hall, where I pulled up in front of the ticket sales counter that you
requested be closed. Jounouchi-sama was crying when he returned to the van,
>> comes the driver’s voice, << He was really upset that the
tickets appeared to be sold out. I know you have a plan, Kaiba-sama, but this
seems unnecessarily cruel. We are at the hotel now and the kids are planning to
binge on every kind of food the hotel will deliver to the room. Have a good
meeting, sir. >>“Dammit,”
mumbles Seto pulling the phone away from his ear, “I made him cry.” He looks
through his new text messages, and his eyes widen when he sees one from Mokuba.
“Damn, now he’s going to scold me too!”Seto opens
the text message so he can read it, << Borrowed Mokuba’s phone. Jou here.
In Tokyo. Genesis tickets sold out. Not happy. Wish you were here. Need kisses
and cuddles and more chocolate. Mokuba’s fine. Ate mix of healthy and junk.
Sleeping now. Want to go clubbing with you and gang. As Kat. Be safe. Fix
problem. Come back soon. >>- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
