I'm not really sure how I do it. Work all night and go to school all day. I work hard to have a place to live even though some days I don't even make it home. It's kind of a weird loop. Work, work, work, play, work, work, work. That's what's become of me. It's weird though, I like it. I like being so busy I don't have time to think or feel. I've become numb to the sensation of being overtired all the time. I think I might actually be developing super powers. Sometimes, I can even pay attention during math class. I'd love to see SuperDude, or whatever his name is, do that. Next up for those Americans: Super Jounouchi! The Japanese kid who can actually do math!
Ah shit. I internally groan as I realize I just missed half of the explanation. I'll never figure this out on my own. I roll my eyes realizing it probably doesn't matter anyway. I really shouldn't daydream about understanding math. It doesn't make sense! I realize I must be going crazy. I hear that happens to people who rarely sleep.
Though to be fair I do get regular amounts of sleep on the days I don't work at the museum. I work a few extra hours at the hospital, but at least I get some sleep at night.
I yawn as I stare up at the clock on the wall. Just a few more minutes are now standing between me and pizza-time with Yuug.
It was all I could do to contain myself from jumping out of my seat and performing a victory lap around the room when the bell rang. I'd managed to stay awake nearly the entire day. Without caffeine.
"Jou!" Yugi's tiny voice pipes up from my left. "Ready?"
"You bet!" I grin, grabbing my bag from my desk. "Let's get gettin'."
"That doesn't make sense."
"Sure it does. We're going to get and then gettin' and then damn. I'm confused." I confess rubbing the back of my head. "It made sense a minute ago." I mumble pushing a door open, heading towards the back entrance of the school.
"No it didn't." Yugi laughs trotting beside me.
"Pretend it did then." I shrug heading down another hallway.
"Sure." Yugi laughs again shaking his head.
"I gotta pee!" I announce, detouring for the men's room.
"Okay?" Yugi laughs, following me in. "Just hurry up!"
"Yeah yeah, almost done. Ahhh, best pee ever."
"I don't need commentary." He laughs, leaning against a sink.
"I swear I've got the smallest bladder known to man!" I complain as I zip my pants and wash my hands. "Alright, let's go." I lead the way back out of the men's room.
"I thought we were going out the back?" Yugi asks pointing the way other way.
"Wha'?" I ask blinking at him.
"Yeah, the back?" He heads in the opposite direction. "It's the fastest way there."
"Oh, I forgot." I mumble trotting to catch up. "For a little guy you walk fast."
"You think so?" He asks staring at me. "You usually tell me I'm too slow. Did you forget or something?" He asks, pushing the main door open.
"Chalk that up to lack of… the hell is that?" I ask, stopping short on the stairs. I can't help it, what I'm looking at just doesn't make sense. Directly across from me on the other side of the lawn is Seto Kaiba lying under a tree, silver brief case unopened and no laptop to be seen. "You see that?" I ask, shamelessly pointing.
"I'm not sure." Yugi adds, rubbing the back of his neck.
"What the hell is Kaiba doin'." I mutter grumpily. "He's just sittin' under that damn tree!" I shake my head and begin strolling away from the scene of the non-crime.
"Maybe he's enjoying the weather?" Yuugi offers.
"No way, moneybags doesn't enjoy anything other than hostile takeovers and coffee. Guy's a total robot." I shouldn't snigger at my own jokes, but I do. I'm always so tired everything's just that much funnier.
"You should really give Kaiba a break, Jou. We're almost friends now and it's our last year. You should try to make friends with him too."
"You on drugs?" I ask, peering closely at my best friend. "That's Kai-buh we're talkin' 'bout here. The richest and biggest bastard we'll ever meet?" I raise an eyebrow at him as we stroll down the block. "He ain't capable of makin' friends."
"Of course he is, Jou." Yugi stops to glare at me. "You need to give him some credit. He's not always bad and you know it."
"Mokuba doesn't count." I counter, stopping to glare back.
"Does too. How can someone who loves his brother so much be all bad?" I sigh rubbing my left eye trying to scrub away the headache I can feel brewing just behind it.
"Fine." I sigh, stifling a yawn. "I'll try to think of him as more of a human being. But that's all yer getting'." I grumble as I begin down the road again toward the pizza joint.
"Are you okay?" Yugi asks.
"What are ya talkin' 'bout, Yuug?" I ruffle his hair as we walk. "'Course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?" I give him a goofey thumbs up, acting more energetic than I feel.
"You're always tired and you've been sleeping in class a lot…" He beings, I can hear the pause in his voice.
"I'm like a cat. All I wanna do is sleep and eat. It's not that unusual for a growin' boy." I wink at him. "Quit worrying so much. But, if you're worried for my health, feel free to feed me." I grin rubbing my tummy. "It gets empty a lot. You people should learn to feed your pet cat."
"You're not a cat."
"Sure I am. A hungry one. Feed me!" I tip my head up to the sky and let out a silly mewl. "Hear that? That's the sound of one seriously starving Jou."
Yugi laughs and nudges me in the side with his elbow. "You're just trying to get free pizza!"
"Hey, nuttin' wrong with dat!" I crow, jamming my hands in my pocket, shuffling merrily down the street. "Now let's get some grub!"

"You're here later than usual." A wispy voice floats from the bed. "How are you, my boy?"
"Kanse-sama! You're awake!" I look up, grinning at a little old man. "I switched a shift so that I could spend time with friends this afternoon." I admit guiltily.
"That's good, that's good." He nods absently.
"Any good news today?" I ask, sweeping around his room.
"My children may come to visit me soon." He smiles, staring at the wall. "I hope they do. That would be nice."
"That would be nice, Kanse-sama." I smile and nod to him. "I'm sure they will come." I sweep the dust from the floor into the receptacle.
"You're such a sweet boy, Jounouchi-kun." He wheezes. "Always pleasant."
"Arigatou." I smile, bowing slightly. "That is very nice of you to say. You're always a pleasure to be around, but I must get back to work. I hope you have a wonderful evening."
"You too, my boy. You too. Come back and visit if you have the time tomorrow."
"Of course, Kanse-sama. You're my favorite patient." I grin, bowing politely as I leave. I wonder if I'll have time to visit tomorrow? Hmm…
"Jounouchi, what do you think you're doing?" A sharp voice barks behind me a few steps later.
Ah shit.I bite the inside of my lip to cheek to curb my anger before turning around. "Shini sensei?"
"You're not supposed to talk to the patients, let alone wake them up!" He rebukes.
"But I didn't-"
"Don't lie to me!" Dr. Shini snaps. "If I catch you bothering another patient again I'll have you removed from this hospital."
"Yes, sir." I grind out, barely controlling my temper.
"Good. Now get out of my site, your shift should be over by now." He barks, storming off down the hall.
"Bastard!" I curse under my breath, clutching my broom handle. I stalk away from the Nurse's station heading toward the locker room, stashing my broom in the appropriate closet. "What's his problem!" I grumble to myself, pulling my uniform off.
"Jounouchi-kun?" A soft voice interrupts my hasty-choppy movements. "Are you okay?"
"Wha'? Oh, hi, Kanako." I grumble throwing my uniform into the locker. "I didn't notice you."
"That's okay." She smiles sitting down on the bench next to me. "Did you want to talk about it?" She asks brightly.
"No. Yes. Maybe, I don't know!" I sign in exasperation, plunking down next to her half dressed in my two uniforms. "What's Shini's problem? He's always such an ass!"
"It's because he hates his life." She replies happily. "He's a miserable person."
"So? That don't mean he can be an ass whenever he wants!" I yell throwing my hands up. "I don't get it! Quit laughin!" I shout at her.
"But I can't help it!" Her light, airy laugh echoes in the small locker room. "You're hopeless!"
"Whatever!" I snap getting back up. "If you're just gonna make fun of me I don't wanna hear it." I take off my pants quickly replacing one uniform with the other. "I was having such a good day too! He just had to ruin it in the last five minutes!" I slam my locker shut pulling my dirty trainers back on my feet. "It's like he lives to torture others!"
"Well, he kind of does." She offers, shrugging her small shoulders. "It's as though he only feels better if he makes someone else more miserable than he is."
"That sounds like a bunch of crap." I glance at her, doubting her idea.
"It's psychology." She replies wisely.
"Psycho-babble?" I stare at her skeptically. "Still sounds like crap."
"Oh, Jounouchi-kun." She rolls her eyes at me. "Sometimes I wonder if your skull really is that thick or if you have an on-and-off switch to your brain."
"You better not be calling me dumb." I scowl. "I ain't dumb."
"Of course not, dear." She smiles, patting my arm. "I'm just saying that some days you think better than others."
"Still sounds like you're calling me dumb." I add, scratching my chin.
"Only a little and on certain days." She links one of her arms with mine and tugs me towards the doors. "If you walk me to my car I'll drop you off at home. Does that sound like it'll help make you feel better, snookums?"
"Don't mock me." I grab my bag off the bench following her towards the doors, clocking out as we pass the machine. "And of course I'll walk you to your car, but you don't have to drop me off."
"Too bad, I'll do as I please." She smiles pleasantly up at me. "And if you refuse to get in, I'll just run you down, m'kay?"
"Your sickly sweet voice is scarier than the threat."
"I know." She giggles.
"The giggle is even creepier."
"Ooo, goodie!"
"Stop that."
"Mmmm nooooo." I sigh heavily as we reach her small black car.
"Thanks for driving me home, Kanako." I add as I pull my door open. "You really don't have to."
"It's not a problem, sweetie." She smiles at me. "You remind me a lot of my baby brother." She adds as she clicks her seatbelt in.
"You have a brother?" I ask shocked.
"Hmm? A what now?" She asks as she put the car into reverse.
"A brother?" I repeat.
"What about 'em?" She asks, turning a corner.
"You have one."
"One what?"
"Oh forget it! You're such a weirdo." I snap, glaring out my window watching the streetlamps go by. We sit in silence for the rest of the ride.
"Here we are." She chirps as we stop in front of my apartment complex.
"Thanks. Sorry for yelling." I mumble glaring down at my hands. "I didn't mean to call you a weirdo."
"You did so." She giggles at me. "But it's okay because I am." She smiles softly at me. "Get some sleep, kid."
"Aye aye, cap'n." I grumble, climbing out of the car. "Don't hit anyone on your way home." I advise shutting the door before she can reply, though I swear I could hear a cackle.
I head into the large apartment complex taking a quick peek into my mailbox. Good, no new bills today.I grin climbing up the four flights of stairs.
It's been two days since I was home last. I jiggle the lock with the key and lean into the door until the lock pops open. It can be nearly impossible to get my door open some days, but it's better than my old place with the busted lock and drunk pop.
"Ahhh, nice to be home!" I call out slamming the door behind me and switching the lock closed again. "And only 7 hours until school starts." I hum merrily, sniffing under my arms as I head toward the kitchen. "Eww." I wrinkle my nose pulling the fridge open. "I need a bath." I grab the only juice box left in the fridge and head towards the tiny bathroom. "Note to self, go grocery shopping." I sigh thinking about how little money I have after spending the afternoon with Yuug.
"Oh well." I grumble starting the bath water, relieved the water heater was working for once. At least I won't have to boil water first. I smile to myself, pulling my school uniform off as quickly as I can.
Mmmmm I sigh happily as I sink into the hot water, closing my eyes and enjoying the warmth as it soaks through my muscles.
I'm not sure how much time I spent soaking and how much sleeping. All I can remember is getting out when the water was too cold to enjoy the bath any longer. I grab the only towel I own heading for my tiny room. The last memory I have is switching on my alarm clock and climbing into bed not bothering with pajamas.
