101 Puppies
By Hideki LaShae
Chapter Forty-four
“Have you
chosen your song for the talent show yet, Seto?” asks Mokuba as Seto tucks him
into bed Thursday night, “The show is tomorrow night.”
“I haven’t
chosen a song yet. I want something that will express my feelings for Katsuya,”
says Seto.
Mokuba
smiles happily. “It’s about time!”
Seto smiles
and places a kiss on Mokuba’s forehead. “Go to sleep, you little rat!”
“Good
night, Seto!” exclaims Mokuba closing his eyes.
Seto heads
into his own room and lies down. ‘The only song I can think of is Leave.
I need to know the song by tomorrow evening! I need to have the music with me
so that I can have musical accompaniment!’
‘Coward!’
Seto sighs
and allows sleep to take him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Seto’s~Dream~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What are you going to do
for your performance, Katsuya?” asks Kaiba.
“I’m
probably going to sing. I love to sing,” says Jou, “What about you?”
“A
speech,” says Kaiba.
Jou
chuckles.
Kaiba
glares at Jou. “What’s so funny?”
“Oh,
nothing really.” Jou smiles. “I was just thinking. Wouldn’t it give the
teachers’ heart attacks if you were to sing and I were to give a
speech?”
“Oh,
that I would definitely agree with!” Kaiba laughs. “I would actually pay to see
that!”
“How
much?” asks Jou.
“About
fifty… why?”
“How
about I do your speech and you sing the song I’ve selected?” asks Jou.
Kaiba
smiles. “I’ll let you give my speech, but I’m picking my own song!”
Jou nods
and throws his arms around Kaiba’s neck. He kisses the brunet passionately.
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“I
actually do have a song in mind,” says Kaiba, “Something you are the
inspiration of.”
“Really?”
asks Jou with widening eyes, “Could you sing it for me now? Please? Please,
Seto!”
Kaiba
blushes. “All right, but just this once, you understand, Katsuya?”
“Yeah!”
Kaiba
takes a deep breath and begins to sing, “I’m not a perfect person. There’s 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.”
Jou
gives Kaiba a wide grin.
“I’ve
found a reason for me to change who I used to be… a reason to start over new.”
Kaiba takes Jou’s hands in his own and stares directly into the honey-brown
eyes. “And the reason is you…”
Jou
blushes and turns his eyes away from Kaiba, but the hand that soon finds his
chin forces him to look back into the blazing blue eyes of the other teen.
“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,” sings Kaiba. He licks
his lips as he looks deep into Jou’s eyes. “I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever
done to hurt you. I never meant to call you a mutt… a puppy yes, but not a
mutt. I never meant to hurt you.”
“You
haven’t… You’ve made me mad, but you’ve never really hurt me, not that deep
anyway,” says Jou.
Kaiba
pulls Jou into a deep kiss. He gasps for air as he releases the lips of his
lover. He takes a deep breath before continuing to sing, “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. And the reason is you, and the reason is you. And the reason is you.”
Jou
cuddles up in Kaiba’s arms. “I love 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,” sings Kaiba holding Jou tightly,
“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.”
“You are
a perfect person,” whispers Jou, “Perfect in my eyes anyway.”
Kaiba smiles. “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.”
Jou
closes his eyes as he snuggles closer to Kaiba.
“Katsuya,
you have made me want to be a better man,” says Kaiba, “You’ve convinced me to
change the way that I am. I don’t want to fight with you. I don’t want to call
you names anymore…”
“No more
puppy?” asks Jou pushing away from Kaiba.
“No more
mutt. If you still want me to call you puppy, I’d love to!” exclaims Kaiba.
Jou nods
and smiles.
“You
make me want to be a better man,” says Kaiba.
Jou
kisses Kaiba. “Say it again…”
“You
make me want to be a better man.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seto wakes
up with a sigh. He sits up and turns on the radio. Then he hears it, the song
he’ll sing to Katsuya at the talent show. He smiles. He climbs from bed quickly
and hurries into his closet to pick out the perfect outfit to wear as he tells
Katsuya his feelings. He pulls out the clothing and lays it gently on the bed.
Once satisfied with the choices made, he puts on his uniform and gets ready to
go to school. He heads down to the kitchen.
“Hey, Seto!
Thanks for the suit,” says Katsuya blushing, “Now when I give that speech for
you, I’ll look professional!”
“I’m glad
you like it,” says Seto smiling, “How does it fit?”
“Like it
was special made!” exclaims Katsuya, “It fits perfectly!”
“Are you
ready to give that speech?” asks Seto sitting down beside Katsuya.
“I’m
nervous as hell, but I have the note cards your speechwriter made for me, and
I’ve practiced it a couple of times so I wouldn’t mispronounce anything,” says
Katsuya, “There’s not much else I can do!”
“You will
do fine,” says Seto, “I guarantee!”
“Thanks!
What about you?” asks Katsuya, “Please tell me you’ve chosen the song at
least!”
“Yes. I
have chosen the song!” exclaims Seto smiling.
Katsuya
smiles happily. “Great!”
“You’ll be
impressed, I think,” says Seto, “Or I hope.”
“I know
I’ll enjoy it!” exclaims Katsuya, “We should hurry and get to school. Mokuba
and I have already eaten.”
Seto grabs
a breakfast bar and follows Katsuya out to the limo to head to school.
“By the
way, I’ll be having dinner over at Yugi’s, and then we’ll be going to the
school together for the talent show,” says Katsuya, “Your driver has agreed to
deliver my suit there after school.”
“All
right,” says Seto with a nod.
“Don’t
worry, big brother, I’ll have dinner with you!” exclaims Mokuba smiling, “And
then we can go to the talent show! I can’t wait to see everyone’s talent!”
“Oh, joy,”
says Seto frowning.
Mokuba
shakes his head.
* * *
Seto wears
his trench coat pulled closed so that his clothing beneath can’t be seen. He
sits beside Mokuba in the crowd with Yugi, Katsuya, and all their other friends
not too far away.
Students
regularly leave the audience in groups of five and perform their preordained
task.
Seto starts
to get flustered as Miho finishes up her song. He’s all too aware that he is in
the next set of five to go back stage and wait until their turn to perform. He
sighs thankfully that Katsuya isn’t also in his group because he wants the
blond to be out in the audience watching his performance.
Miho
finishes and curtseys before walking off stage.
The
Vice-Principal calls the five students who are to perform in the next round,
and Seto stands and makes his way back stage.
“Now
introducing, Seto Kaiba,” says the Vice-Principal.
Seto
removes his trench coat and tosses it onto the stool he had been sitting on
while waiting his turn. He walks out onto the stage to the gasps and squeals of
half the student body. His black leather pants hug his lower body and leave
little to the imagination while his sapphire blue shirt flutters loosely upon
his torso. The long sleeves don’t seem to detract much from his appearance, but
that could very well be just because he left the shirt unbuttoned down to his
navel. The card-shaped locket he always wears is joined by a silver ankh
resting on his collarbone. His boots click loudly as he walks towards the
microphone running a hand through his brown hair to mess it up slightly.
“Oh, he’s
so gorgeous!” exclaims a girl near the front, very loudly.
Seto rolls
his eyes and steps up to the microphone. He grabs it and pulls it from the
stand. He takes a deep breath before beginning to speak keeping his eyes on
Katsuya the entire time he does so. “I would like to dedicate this song to a
very special someone out there in the audience tonight. I’m sure they’ll know
I’m singing it to them. Hell, even the stupid mutt should know who I’m singing
it to, but even if that person doesn’t realize that I’m singing to them,
they’ll know for certain when later tonight I ask them to accompany me to the
prom.”
“Oh, how
sweet,” murmurs a few voices from the crowd.
Seto turns
to glance at the Vice-Principal and nods his head. Then he turns to face
Katsuya again, and he licks his lips as he looks at the blond.
The music
starts to play softly but quickly rises to a decent volume.
“Here we
are in the arms of one another, and we still go on searching for each other,
knowing that hate is wrong and love is right for us tonight,” sings Seto
capturing the honey-brown eyes in a passionate gaze, “But when I look into your
Spanish eyes, I know the reason why I am alive and the world is so beautiful
tonight.”
The girls
begin to squeal as Seto starts to gyrate his hips to the beat of the music.
Seto’s eyes
never lose their intense hold upon Katsuya as he continues to sing. “It’s a
place I’ve never been and it comes from deep within and it’s telling me that
I’m about to win first prize. Knowing all I have to do is reach out my hand to
you anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes.”
Katsuya
clutches his hand over his heart as it starts pounding in his chest.
Mokuba
looks back and forth between Katsuya and Seto, and he smiles as he whispers to
Yugi who also checks out the reaction between the two boys.
“Let it be
if we’re nothing more than dreamers who believe that we see no one between us.
How can they be in my heart and in my mind when all I can find?” sings Seto
still moving and swaying to the music as he watches Katsuya. The edges of his
lips turn up in a slight smile. “When I look into your Spanish eyes, I know the
reason why I am alive and the world is so beautiful tonight!”
Yugi
quietly gets the attention of the rest of the gang so he can tell them that
Seto’s singing to Katsuya.
Hiroto
sends a glare in Seto’s direction while Anzu looks back and forth between the
blond and brunet with worried eyes.
“It’s a
place I’ve never been and it comes from deep within and it’s telling me that
I’m about to win first prize,” sings Seto placing one hand over his heart while
the other clutches the microphone. “Knowing all I have to do is reach out my
hand to you anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes.”
“Are you
all right, Jou?” whispers Ryou when he sees Katsuya clenching his seat tightly.
“Fine…
fine,” whispers Katsuya.
“I loved
you from a distant star. I couldn’t reach that far. I can’t believe how close
that we are. When I look into your Spanish eyes,” sings Seto, “and the world is
so beautiful tonight!”
“The world
really is a beautiful place,” whispers Katsuya.
Seto’s slides
his hand down from his chest to rest on his hip. “It’s a place I’ve never been
and it comes from deep within and it’s telling me that I’m about to win first
prize. Knowing all I have to do is reach out my hand to you anytime I want to
look into your Spanish eyes.”
“I need to
go!” exclaims Katsuya getting up from his seat.
“But you
haven’t given your speech yet!” exclaims Ryuji.
“I got to!”
exclaims Katsuya rushing out of the auditorium.
Seto
watches Katsuya run away, and he quickly puts the microphone back on its stand.
He doesn’t bother to take his bow as everyone applauds loudly for him. He
rushes backstage and grabs his trench coat from the stool. He doesn’t even put
it on as he runs out of the auditorium and sees all of Katsuya’s friends with his
brother hurrying after the fleeing blond. “Katsuya, stop!”
Katsuya
stops his running when he hears the voice, but he doesn’t turn towards it. He
takes a deep breath as his friends and Seto walk up behind him.
“Why are
you running away, puppy?” asks Seto.
“What did
you think I would do?” asks Katsuya.
“At least
give me a chance to explain,” says Seto walking towards Katsuya.
Katsuya
turns slowly to look at Seto, and his heart stops when he sees the look in
Seto’s eyes. He turns his eyes away. “Go ahead and explain then.”
Seto steps
up to Katsuya and gently grabs the blond’s chin. He turns the head towards him
so he can see the brown eyes avoiding his gaze. “I’ve figured out what I want,
Katsuya.”
Katsuya
clenches his eyes closed.
“I don’t
want to be just your friend, Katsuya. Nothing would thrill me more than if you
could find it within you to consider yourself my boyfriend,” says Seto slowly,
“Will you go to the prom with me?”
Katsuya
rips his chin away from Seto.
“Please?”
adds Seto.
“Don’t do it,
Jou!” exclaims Anzu stepping forward.
Seto turns
his eyes to glare at Anzu. “Stay out of this, girl! This is between Katsuya and
me!”
“That’s not
true! You’re just trying to use him for your own sick and twisted ways!”
exclaims Anzu.
“Anzu…
maybe this isn’t our place to say…”
“Butt out,
Yugi!” exclaims Anzu angrily, “I am not going to just sit around and watch
Kaiba ruin Jou’s life! He’s just trying to break him! You don’t actually think
he cares for Jou do you?”
“I do!”
exclaims Mokuba.
“She does
have a small point, Seto,” says Katsuya, “How do I know…?”
“You can
tell a lot through a single kiss,” says Seto quietly, and he pulls Katsuya up
tight against him as his lips seek out those belonging to the smaller boy. He
kisses Katsuya with as much passion and love as he possesses, drawing the blond
deeper into his very soul the longer that the kiss goes on.
“Oh, dear,”
says Ryou blushing as he watches the two kissing.
“Like I
said, it could all be an act!” exclaims Anzu.
Katsuya
pulls out of the kiss panting. He rests his head against Seto’s shoulder.
“Please
believe me, Katsuya, my golden puppy. I don’t know how else to make you
believe,” whispers Seto.
“If he
really had wanted to break Jou, he would have had more than enough
opportunities to do so,” says Ryuji.
“That’s
right!” exclaims Malik, “Jou’s been living with him!”
Katsuya
looks into Seto’s eyes. “Yes… I’ll go to the prom with you, but please… don’t
hurt me, Seto.”
Seto
smiles. “I have no intention of ever hurting you.”
Katsuya
nods.
Anzu
crosses her arms angrily and glares at Seto.
Seto pulls
Katsuya into a shorter kiss than the first, but still backed by all the
emotions he doesn’t want Katsuya to know about.
