Chapter Nine
Jounouchi
joins Mokuba and Seto for dinner every night that week, and he nearly cries on
Thursday night when Seto kisses his cheek before dropping him off at home. He
keeps away from Seto all day on Friday, avoiding the brunet like the plague. He
breathes a sigh of relief when Seto leaves the school at one-thirty as usual.“Hey, guys,
I won’t be able to come to movie night,” says Honda approaching the group at
the end of class, “My sister has some sort of emergency, and she needs me to
baby-sit for her. I’d bring him along, except she demands I stay at her place.”Jounouchi
hides his snicker.“That’s
okay, Honda,” says Yugi, “We were actually thinking about not having movie
night this week so that we could all afford to go to the theater next weekend.”“Oh, good,”
says Honda with a sigh of relief, “I have to run. Maybe I’ll see you at the
game shop tomorrow, Yugi. If not, I’ll see you all on Monday.” He packs up the
rest of his books in a hurry and heads off.“The limo
should be waiting outside to take us to the Kaiba Mansion,” says Jounouchi
packing up the last of his books, “Mokuba’s there alone by now, and Yukia’s
cooking us up a feast to go with our movie.”Yugi, Ryou,
and Anzu finish packing up their books, and they head out of the classroom with
Jounouchi.Anzu bumps
into someone as they walk down the hall towards the main exit. “Oh, sorry!”“No, it was
my fault,” says Otogi Ryuji brushing his loose hair out of his eyes.Anzu
blushes slightly. “Hi, Otogi. We haven’t seen you in awhile. How have you
been?”“I’m good,”
says Otogi walking out with the group, “My game shop is doing fine. It’s been
keeping me very busy. I haven’t had much time to myself recently. I’m either
here or there.”“Do you
have to go to work today?” asks Ryou.Otogi
slumps his shoulders. “I don’t particularly want to.”“Well, you
own the company. Take the night off,” says Ryou.Otogi just
simply blinks at the idea.“We always
have dinner together and watch a movie on Friday nights,” says Yugi.“You’re
welcome to join us,” says Anzu still blushing.“Can you
come?” asks Yugi giving Otogi an adorable pout.“Please?”
asks Ryou joining Yugi with a cute pout of his own.“Screw
this!” exclaims Jounouchi only to receive several gasps from everyone else in the
group. He grabs Otogi by the arm. “He’s coming with us whether he wants to or
not!”Otogi
blushes. “Actually, I’d like to come. Now can you let go of my arm?”Jounouchi
pouts, but he releases his hold on Otogi. “Damn! I was looking forward to
dragging you down the sidewalk and shoving you in the trunk of the limo!”“Limo?
Since when do you rank a limo?” asks Otogi as they all continue walking and
reach the limo.The
chauffeur opens the door.“Thanks,”
says Jounouchi climbing into the back seat.Everyone
piles into the back of the limo with Jounouchi.“I’m
baby-sitting Kaiba Mokuba,” says Jounouchi, “and Kaiba’s allowed me the use of
the limo this weekend.”“Kaiba’s
being nice to you?” asks Otogi in shock.Jounouchi
blushes, but he nods his head.“Wow,” says
Otogi, “Amazing what can happen when you’re not looking.”Ryou and
Yugi share a quick look and a smile.“Okay, now
it’s your turn, Otogi,” says Anzu.“My turn?”
asks Otogi.“What’s up
with the hair?” asks Anzu, “I’ve never seen you have it down before.”Otogi
blushes. “Some jerk clipped my hair-tie today! Took off some of my beautiful
hair too!”“I’m sure
Mokuba wouldn’t mind lending you one of his,” says Jounouchi, “We’ll ask him
when we get to his place.”“Mokuba
doesn’t use hair-ties,” says Otogi.“He does
when he sleeps. Duh!” exclaims Jounouchi.The limo
pulls to a stop outside of the mansion.Jounouchi
opens the door and climbs out with his bag of books. He waits for everyone else
to get out before they all walk up to the door. He rings the doorbell before
opening the door and walking inside. “Mokuba! We’re here!”“Jounouchi!”
exclaims Mokuba running out of the living room and giving the blond a hug. He
looks at everyone present, and he nods his approval. “You managed to ditch Honda
then?”“Yeah. I
begged his sister to go out to dinner so he’d need to baby-sit,” says
Jounouchi, “I know your brother didn’t want him in his house while he’s gone.
But he said nothing about Otogi, so I brought him instead.”“Otogi’s
fine!” exclaims Mokuba, “Seto took all his work files from home with him, so we
don’t need to worry about him trying any corporate espionage! Come on, we can
go pick out the movie! Yukia’s agreed to serve dinner in the living room so
long as we try not to be messy about eating it. And Seto said you could all
stay the night in the guest rooms if you wanted to!”“Sounds
great to me!” exclaims Ryou. He sets his bag of books on the floor in the
entranceway.Everyone
leaves their schoolbooks in the entranceway before they follow Mokuba into the
living room.“Wow!”
exclaims Yugi after Mokuba slides up the rolling doors of the cabinets to
reveal the expansive movie collection hidden from sight. “You guys have more
movies than the rental place by my house!”Mokuba
blushes. “We do try!”“So, can we
watch anything?” asks Anzu, “You have quite a few movies here that I wouldn’t
see fit for a twelve year old.”“Seto’s
watched all of the movies, and then he watches them with me,” says Mokuba, “so we
can watch whatever you want. Besides, Jounouchi has the right to allow me to
watch any movie he wants! He’s close enough to Seto…”“I’m not
close to Seto!” exclaims Jounouchi blushing, “I mean… okay, maybe we’re friends
now, but…”“You’re so
easy, Jounouchi! I swear, you blush more than Kat-chan!” exclaims Mokuba.“Will we
get to meet her?” asks Ryou.“I’ve
already met her. She’s very nice,” says Yugi, “I ran into her and Kaiba at the
arcade.”“Oh,” says
Ryou, “Does she look as much like Jounouchi up close as she does in the
pictures?”“What?
Hey!” exclaims Jounouchi.Yugi
chuckles. “Not answering that!”“Quit
picking on me!” exclaims Jounouchi.“Oh, guys!
I have an idea!” exclaims Otogi.“What
about?” asks Mokuba.“Let’s have
a Lord of the Rings marathon!” exclaims Otogi, “They have the animated Hobbit,
Lord of the Rings, and Return of the King. Plus they have the Fellowship
of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King! They have
both the theatrical version and the extended!”“How about
we start with the Hobbit, then move to the Fellowship, Two
Towers, and Return of the King?” asks Anzu glancing at her watch,
“If we start now, we can be done by tomorrow morning!”“First
person falls asleep, and we stop the marathon,” says Mokuba, “Jounouchi and I
have big plans for tomorrow. We’re going shopping to find Seto a birthday
present, and in the evening we’re going to a business function. So we’re going
to need our sleep.”“So, what
are you guys going to the party as?” asks Yugi as Otogi grabs The Hobbit
and heads over to the TV and DVD player to put the movie in.“I’m going
as an angel,” says Anzu sitting down in one of the chairs.“Are you
going as a Pharaoh, Yugi?” asks Otogi.“Yeah, I
am,” says Yugi, “You?”“I would
have liked to have gone as a rotting zombie, but I was invited in more of a
business aspect,” says Otogi, “so I have to be a bit more proper. I’m going as
a sophisticated sixteenth century European vampire.”“Zombie,
vampire, close enough!” exclaims Ryou laughing.Otogi
blushes. “So what are you going as, Ryou?”“I’m going
as one of the Pharaoh’s concubines,” says Ryou blushing, “We wanted to have our
costumes match together, and Yugi almost got a slave costume for himself. But I
thought the Pharaoh looked better on him. Unfortunately the costume of the
Pharaoh’s wife didn’t suit me as well.”“I hear
Honda’s coming as a devil,” says Yugi, “I think he might want to cause some
trouble.”“That’s why
we have security who will be wandering around the party in costume as well,”
says Mokuba, “There will be three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, two Red-Eyes Black
Dragons, and one Lord of Dragons.”“What are
you going to be for the party, Mokuba?” asks Anzu.“I haven’t
decided yet,” says Mokuba, “I have several costumes. It’s just the matter of
closing my eyes and picking one.”“And you,
Jounouchi?” asks Ryou.“Oh, look!
The movie’s started!” exclaims Jounouchi quickly sitting down on the floor and
stretching out in front of the coffee table.“You can still
answer the question,” says Ryou smiling as everyone gets situated around the
room. He sits down on the loveseat with Yugi and immediately begins to cuddle
up to his boyfriend.“I don’t
know. I haven’t even gone shopping for a costume,” says Jounouchi, “I’m kind of
hoping Mokuba and I might have time tomorrow after we get Seto his present, or
possibly on Sunday. If nothing else I’ll go as a puppy.”Everyone
laughs before they get comfortable and watch the movie.Yukia
brings in dinner not quite halfway into The Fellowship of the Ring, and
everyone enjoys their French bread pizza, macaroni and cheese, cucumber slices
with ranch dressing dip, and tri-color biscuits.“These
biscuits are delicious!” exclaims Otogi grabbing another one from the tray, “What
are they?”“They’re
one of Yukia’s specialties,” says Mokuba, “She mixes pepperoni or Italian ham
into the batter with basil and parsley and then she adds some mozzarella and
Parmesan cheeses before she bakes it. She usually serves it with a marinara sauce
for dipping, but I guess she thought that would be too messy.”“I wonder
if I could get some of these to go,” says Otogi grabbing another biscuit as
soon as he finishes the last.“Yukia
always makes really good food!” exclaims Jounouchi getting another piece of
pizza, “And she’s great about making huge quantities! I never go hungry when I
have dinner here!”“Do you eat
here a lot?” asks Anzu.“Several
times a week,” says Jounouchi, “So I can keep Mokuba distracted while Kaiba
plays smoochy-face with Kat-chan.”“But Yukia
likes you so much!” exclaims Mokuba trying to hide a piece of cucumber in his
napkin.“I want
dessert some time tonight, Mokuba,” says Jounouchi closing his eyes and eating
a bite of macaroni and cheese, “So you’d better eat that cucumber!”“How’d you
know?” asks Mokuba unwrapping his napkin to take the cucumber and stick it in
his mouth.“Brotherly
skill,” says Jounouchi smiling.“He’s got
you there, Mokuba!” exclaims Ryou giggling.“Fine! I’ll
eat the vegetables! But that doesn’t mean I have to like them!” exclaims
Mokuba, “I hate eating things that are green! It’s disgusting!”* * *
Jounouchi
carries Mokuba up the stairs with all his friends trailing behind him. “Hey,
Yugi. Can you open this door for me?”Yugi opens
the door to Mokuba’s room, and Jounouchi carries the sleeping boy inside. He
places him in the bed after Yugi turns down the blankets for him.Jounouchi
takes a black hair-tie from the nightstand and quickly braids Mokuba’s hair
before securing it. He covers the sleeping boy and heads from the room with
Yugi. He closes the door firmly. “Okay, so this is obviously Mokuba’s room.
Kat-chan has the room at the end of the hall, and this room right across from
Mokuba’s is Kaiba’s room.”“Kat-chan
has a room here already?” asks Anzu with wide eyes.“She spends
the night sometimes so that she can spend an entire day with Kaiba,” says
Jounouchi. He walks down the hall and opens a door. He looks in to see the very
large bed, and he smiles. “Ryou, Yugi, would you two like to share this room?”Ryou and
Yugi look inside the room, and they both smile.Yugi runs
in and jumps on the bed.“We’ll take
it,” says Ryou.Jounouchi
nods and moves to the room next to his. He opens the door. “Anzu? What do you
think?”Anzu looks
at the inside of the pink and yellow room. “I like it!”“So which
room will we be sharing tonight?” asks Otogi in a whisper once everyone else is
locked away in his or her room.Jounouchi walks
down the hall and opens a door. “This is your room, Otogi. Ryou and Yugi are
only sharing because they’re dating. I’m not dating you. You stay in here, and
I’ll stay in my room. Don’t come out of this room until morning!”“Fine!”
exclaims Otogi closing the door in Jounouchi’s face.Jounouchi
slowly walks down the hallway, and he looks to make sure no one’s watching
before he slips into Seto’s room. He removes his clothes and climbs into the
bed naked to soon fall asleep.* * *
The slumber
party ends shortly after breakfast when Jounouchi finally gets Otogi to leave
the mansion.“So,
Mokuba, how do you want to go about this shopping business?” asks Jounouchi
flopping onto the couch beside the younger boy.“Well, we
both need to find costumes,” says Mokuba, “and we should pick up a birthday
present or two for Seto. We should look for costumes first though. That might
take the longest, and we’ll be able to present shop tomorrow.”“I actually
meant do you want to go out as Kat-chan and Mari or Jounouchi and Mokuba?” asks
Jounouchi, “We can’t go mixing genders. We both have to be male or female.”“Let’s go
female then!” exclaims Mokuba; “I don’t usually get to go out as a girl so
it’ll be nice!”“Okay!”
exclaims Jounouchi with a big smile, “Let’s go pick out the outfits we want to
wear!”Mokuba
jumps off the couch and races Jounouchi up the stairs. “This is going to be so
much fun!”“Do you
have an outfit in mind to wear?” asks Jounouchi following Mokuba upstairs.“I’m
thinking about that outfit Seto got me a few weeks ago,” says Mokuba, “I
haven’t had much more occasion to wear it besides just trying it on. You?”“I think I
have one more casual outfit that I haven’t worn yet,” says Jounouchi, “I think
Shalara was under the impression that Seto would take me to a lot more fancy
places than he has already because I have several fancy gowns that I haven’t
worn yet. I do have one more outfit for clubbing that Seto hasn’t seen though.”“You’re
almost out of fresh casual clothes?” asks Mokuba with wide eyes. He starts to
count on his fingers, “That’s only… six casual outfits?”“Um… yeah,
I think, and I have six evening gowns or formal attire, plus two outfits for
nightclubs or concerts,” says Jounouchi.“We’re
going by Shalara’s today,” says Mokuba.“I actually
wanted to go there anyway,” says Jounouchi blushing, “I want to see if she has
something in mind for a costume.”“Okay.
We’re going there first,” says Mokuba opening the door to his room, “I’m going
to change now. I’ll see Kat-chan shortly!”Jounouchi
enters his own room while Mokuba disappears. He grabs out the items he wants
from his closet and heads into his bathroom. He sheds all his clothes and looks
at himself in the mirror for a moment before he pulls on a pair black silk
bikini briefs. He slips on a pair of light gray legging shorts. He covers his
torso with a green tank top before he puts on a matching green mini-skirt. He
pulls a black crocheted sweater over his head before he puts on his wig and
starts to braid his hair across his shoulder.Jounouchi
takes the time to apply his make-up and spray on perfume before he heads out of
the bathroom and sits down on his bed to pull on his thin dress socks and his
knee-high, black high-heeled boots. He pulls on some black crocheted gloves,
which match his sweater quite nicely. Then he reenters his bathroom to pick out
jewelry. Since he’s wearing green, he chooses a silver necklace with a
rectangular Jade pendant that has an inscription of the Chinese symbol for
‘Luck’ imprinted in silver. As an afterthought, he adds the black collar with
the silver cross charm. He heads back out of the bathroom and grabs his green
handbag on the way out the door. “Hey, Mari! Are you ready yet?”“Just a few
more minutes!” calls Mokuba.Jounouchi
slips into Seto’s room and grabs up all the Boy Princess manga. He sighs
when he realizes they won’t fit into his purse, but he spots a paper bag on the
desk with the name of the bookstore that the newest manga came from. He grabs
the bag and stuffs the books into it before heading back out to the hallway. He
closes the door just as Mokuba emerges from his room. He whistles. “Looking
good, Mari!”“Thank
you.” Mokuba blushes. He wears his black velveteen jacket over the strapless
blue sundress, and the silver metal chain link belt wraps around his waist. He
complements the outfit with a pair of black sandals and a silver heart-shaped
locket. He has braided his hair in a childish fashion, and a light coloring of
blush, shadow, and gloss adorn his face. He carries a small black purse that
bulges slightly. “You look very nice. Seto will be bummed that he missed seeing
this!”“Well, I’ll
wear it for him next weekend!” exclaims Jounouchi blushing.“We’ll
see,” says Mokuba quietly, “Are you ready to go?”“I am.”
“I have my
cell phone and money, so we’re set,” says Mokuba, “The limo should be waiting
for us too.”Jounouchi
nods and they walk downstairs and out to the waiting limo.“We’d like
to go to Shalara’s!” exclaims Mokuba before he climbs into the back of the
limo.Jounouchi
slides into the spot beside Mokuba.“What’s in
the bag?” asks Mokuba.“If you
don’t already know about this, you didn’t find out from me,” says Jounouchi
pulling out one of the books.“You’re
stealing Seto’s manga? He’s going to kill you! He loves that manga!” exclaims
Mokuba.“I’m not
stealing it! I’m going to put it back when we get home!” exclaims Jounouchi.Mokuba
smiles when he hears Jounouchi call the mansion ‘home’.“I’m
probably being stupid, but I was hoping Shalara could help me get costumes that
resemble the ones in this manga for me and Kaiba. Even some for you,” says
Jounouchi, “Kaiba suggested we do a bit of fantasy role-playing using the manga
as a guide. He’d be Jed, and I would be Nicole. I thought maybe sometimes you’d
be willing to step into the role of Reiny.”“Hey, that
could be fun!” exclaims Mokuba.“Yeah,
maybe Shalara could even get some outfit ready in time for the party,” says
Jounouchi, “If I can’t find a good outfit, I do have the maid’s dress.”The limo
pulls to a stop outside of Shalara’s, and the driver steps out to open the door
for them both.Jounouchi
and Mokuba step out of the limo and walk into the front of the shop.“Mari!
Kat-chan! It’s so wonderful to see you both!” exclaims a redheaded Shalara
looking up from the clothing she’s boxing up for a customer. She turns back to
the woman with a smile. “Thanks for coming! I hope to see you again!”The woman
takes her receipt and the bag with the box inside, and she heads out of the
store.“To what do
I owe this pleasure?” asks Shalara.“First
things first,” says Jounouchi, “I was hoping you could help me with some
costumes.”“What type
of costumes?” asks Shalara, “I’m not really a costume shop, you know? Although
for you, I might be willing to special make something.”Jounouchi
shows Shalara the book. “Costumes like these, for Kaiba, myself, and Mari.”“Oh, my!
These are beautiful!” exclaims Shalara flipping through the various books to
look at the different clothing articles, “Seto would be this male lead, I
assume?”“Yes,” says
Jounouchi blushing, “and I would be the male/female lead. Mari would be the
dark-haired princess.”“I can come
up with something,” says Shalara, “but only for you three. How soon would you
like them?”“Well… do
you think maybe you could have a costume for Kaiba and myself by next weekend?
He’s holding a costume party for his birthday,” says Jounouchi, “and I was
thinking this would be a nice costume choice as well as a nice present for
him.”“Two
costumes by Friday? That’s pulling it rather close,” says Shalara as she leaves
the books on the counter and walks over to lock the front door and turn the
sign to ‘Closed’. She returns to the counter and picks up the books. “Let’s go
into the backroom for a few moments. Since these are Seto’s mangas, we don’t
want him noticing them missing. I’ll make copies of the pages that give us the
best views of the costumes. Then I can use them as reference whenever I need
to. Plus, we can find a material that will work for your costume, Kat-chan!”“Do you
think you can do it?” asks Jounouchi as he and Mokuba follow Shalara into the
backroom.“We’ll go
for one of the simpler costumes for Seto, and something ornate and delicate for
you, but I think I can pull it off,” says Shalara, “I’ll just charge Seto for a
special order.”“You don’t
think I could pay for it?” asks Jounouchi glaring at Shalara.Shalara
steps up in front of the copy machine and turns to look at Jounouchi. “You
mean, Seto didn’t tell you?”“Didn’t tell
me what?” asks Jounouchi, narrowing his eyes even more.“He’s set
up a running account for you,” says Shalara, “until further notice, he will be
paying for anything you buy from me.”Jounouchi
blinks in shock.“Well,
that’s interesting,” says Mokuba as he moves to the wall where reams upon reams
of fabric are resting.“Okay, what
do you guys know that I don’t know?” asks Jounouchi, “I have been getting way
too many knowing smirks from the pair of you!”“It’s not
for us to say,” says Shalara when Mokuba opens his mouth, “Ask Seto. Ask Seto
why he is so nice to you and why he’s going through so much to make you happy.”Jounouchi
blushes. He sighs. “He’ll tell me when he’s ready. I won’t ask him.”“Suit
yourself,” says Shalara turning to the copy machine and starting to make his
copies.“Okay! So
onto more important matters! What should I get Kaiba for his birthday?” asks
Jounouchi, “The stupid jerk won’t tell me what he wants!”“You could
give him another I.O.U.” Shalara smirks.“You know
about that?” gasps Jounouchi.Shalara
nods. “Seto is my best friend. He called me that morning after you’d given it
to him. He said you went up to change for your outing to the arcade. He told me
that your I.O.U. was both the sweetest and most frustrating thing he’s ever
received! Have you kissed him yet?”“No,” says
Jounouchi, “I’ve never kissed anyone before. I’m not sure if I’m ready. I kind
of want to, but then again…” He pauses for a moment so the only sounds in the
room are the copy machine whirring and Mokuba moving the bolts of fabric
looking at the different colors. “Why was it the most frustrating thing he’s
ever received? Does he want to kiss me that badly?”“I’m sure
he does! He likes you!” exclaims Mokuba.Shalara
smiles. “He’s sexually frustrated because all he’s really managed to do is get
you to crawl into bed with him and give you a few pecks on the cheek. He
doesn’t need to have sex with you, but he at least needs to know that you’re
not just using him for his money, or humoring him in any way. Seto has a small
problem with insecurity where his lovers are concerned. He will sometimes
believe for no reason at all that the person he is with doesn’t care about him
and just wants his money. He needs reassurance that you are with him because
you care for him. He believes that his lover should be open, honest, and
faithful. He’s sure right now that you’re being faithful, but I think you have
a little more work to do on the open and honest part. You should tell him that
you care for him.”“I will,”
says Jounouchi.“Okay. I
have all the copies I need,” says Shalara passing the books back to Jounouchi
so the blond can place them back in the bag he carries, “Now, Mari. Have you
found a fabric that will look good on Kat-chan?”“What about
this one?” asks Mokuba pulling out a bolt of baby blue sateen.Shalara
gathers up the copies of the clothing and she rifles through them quickly. She
holds out an image for Mokuba to see. “What do you think?”“Can you do
that in time?” asks Mokuba.“I think
so,” says Shalara.Mokuba
nods. “We’ll need a wig for Seto too. Black and shaggy like Jed’s.”“Not
black!” exclaims Jounouchi, “His hair has to remain brown!”“You like
his hair brown?” asks Mokuba.Jounouchi
blushes. “I do.”“Well, now
I really need to get to work on these costumes,” says Shalara, “so I trust you
can see yourselves out?”“We’re
going to look around the shop first, Shalara. Just pick a few things off the
rack,” says Mokuba, “I know how to write up your bills so I’ll take care of
that myself.”“Thank you,
Mari!” exclaims Shalara grabbing the baby blue fabric and heading into the main
room and up the stairs with it and the pile of print outs.Mokuba
pulls Jounouchi into the main room. “Go ahead! Pick out whatever you want,
Kat-chan! Go wild!”Jounouchi’s
eyes start to tear up as he moves around the racks and pulls out clothing to
look at. He stops at a rack full of coats. “I don’t have a coat.”“We’d
better get one then,” says Mokuba, “Winter will set in soon, and we can’t have
you freezing!”Jounouchi
pulls out a long black trench coat and he slips it on. He stretches his arms to
feel the pull of the fabric. “What do you think?”“I think
it’s classic enough that you could wear it with anything beneath!” exclaims
Mokuba.“I’ll take
it, but some of those evening gowns won’t fit beneath it. I’d need something
shorter, waist-length at least, or maybe a shawl of some sort,” says Jounouchi.“What about
this combo?” asks Mokuba holding up a black fur cowl with a matching muff.“Ooo… I
like it!” exclaims Jounouchi.Mokuba
takes the coat from Jounouchi and walks towards the counter with it and the
furs. He pulls out the receipt book and starts to write in it before he boxes
up the items.Jounouchi
finds a few more shirts and skirts before picking out another purse and a
couple of accessories. He brings everything up to the counter as he finds it so
Mokuba can write it all down on the bill and box it up. He tries on a few pairs
of sexy boots and shoes before picking the ones he wants and taking them up to
Mokuba. “Okay, I think I’m done, Mari! Did you want to find something for
yourself?”“Yeah!”
exclaims Mokuba, “Then maybe when Seto gets home you and I could do a fashion
show for him! What do you say?”“That
sounds like fun!” exclaims Jounouchi watching Mokuba finish writing up the
clothes, and he boxes them up himself while Mokuba runs around the racks
gathering up his own clothing items. He boxes up the clothes after Mokuba
writes them on the bill.“I’m going
to go show this to Shalara real quick,” says Mokuba grabbing the book, “just to
make sure I did everything correctly. Will you put the boxes into bags?”“Yeah!”
exclaims Jounouchi as Mokuba runs up the stairs. He starts to put the boxes
into bags, trying to keep his separate from Mokuba’s.Mokuba
walks down the stairs and tucks the book away. “Okay, everything’s set. We have
to go out the back door though.”Jounouchi
slides the last of the boxes into the bags. “Okay.”Mokuba
fills up his hands with bags and waits for Jounouchi to grab the rest before
they head out the back entrance and walk around the shop to the waiting limo.The
chauffeur opens the trunk for them to put all the bags in the back.“Mari, do
you suppose you’ll come with me to get my ears pierced?” asks Jounouchi, “I
don’t really want to go alone.”“You want
to get your ears pierced?” asks Mokuba as the chauffeur closes the trunk and
opens the back door for them to climb inside.“Yes. It’s
something I’ve wanted for awhile, but I was afraid it would hurt,” says
Jounouchi sliding into the back of the limo, “The other day, I noticed Kaiba
has both his ears pierced, so it couldn’t have hurt that bad.”“I’ll go
with you,” says Mokuba climbing in beside Jounouchi. He looks at the chauffeur.
“You remember where to go, right?”“Yes, sir,”
says the chauffeur before closing the door.“Do you and
Seto normally do something special on his birthday?” asks Jounouchi.“No, not
really. We’ll sometimes have his favorite cake with dinner, but that’s usually
as special as it gets,” says Mokuba.“Black
Forest cake,” says Jounouchi, “Do you think Yukia would allow me to help her
make a special dinner for everyone on Kaiba’s birthday?”“She might
if you tell her you want to do it as a present for my brother,” says Mokuba,
“What did you have in mind?”“He told me
his favorite foods are Honey-Dijon chicken, mashed potatoes, and Black Forest
Cake. I was thinking that would be a nice birthday dinner for him, and I could
help Yukia make it,” says Jounouchi, “I can’t do a lot for him, but I want to.”“That would
be a nice present to give him on his birthday, maybe even with a love coupon
book, and then at the party you could give him some of his favorite tea and a
new tea set. We had a little accident with his old tea set,” says Mokuba, “I’ll
help you pick out something.”“Okay,
Mari?”“Yes?”
“What’s a
love coupon book?”Mokuba
sighs. “It’s a booklet of coupons that you make yourself entitling the bearer,
that would be Seto, to get specific things from you… like a massage, a home-cooked
meal, breakfast in bed, a bath for two, a romantic evening in bed…”Jounouchi
blushes. “And you think Seto would want one of those?”“What else
could you give him?” asks Mokuba, “All he really wants for his birthday this
year is you… You to hold him, to kiss him, to sleep with him, to make love with
him… but he understands that you’re not ready to give him all that he wants,
and he’ll wait for you.”Jounouchi
nods. “It’s decided then. What’s his favorite tea?”Mokuba
smiles.The limo
pulls up outside a tattoo and piercing parlor.“Come on!”
exclaims Mokuba opening the door and hopping out, “We’ll get your ears
pierced!”Jounouchi
follows Mokuba out of the limo and they walk into the parlor together.Mokuba
smiles and shakes hands with the small French woman behind the counter. He
speaks to her rapidly in French.The woman
smiles and takes Jounouchi’s hand. She walks him over to a chair and gently
pushes him into it. “All… be… okay…”“Mari, does
she know what she’s doing?” asks Jounouchi.“Yes, she
just doesn’t speak much Japanese!” exclaims Mokuba grabbing up a stuffed puppy
from the countertop. He holds it out in front of Jounouchi. “Keep your eyes on
the puppy!”Jounouchi
stares intently into the stuffed puppy’s seemingly soulful brown eyes, and he
begins to realize why Seto keeps calling him a puppy. “I look just like that
dog to your brother, don’t I?”“Well,
yeah,” says Mokuba, “I guess you do. In a good way, though! Seto loves
puppies!”Jounouchi
blushes. He focuses on the puppy so intently that he doesn’t even notice the
painful pricks to his ears as the French woman pierces the skin and places
diamond studs into the holes. He admires himself in the mirror that the woman
passes him while Mokuba says a few words to her in French and swipes his credit
card to pay. He stands up and opens his purse. “So how much?”“I’ve got
it taken care of,” says Mokuba, “Don’t worry. You can buy me ice cream later to
pay me back!”“Okay!”
exclaims Jounouchi closing his purse again.“Merci,”
says Mokuba before grabbing Jounouchi’s hand and pulling him out of the parlor,
“Now those earrings will have to stay in for about a month or so. And so you
know when you do try to take them off, the backs screw off, but they push on to
make it easy.”“Push on,
screw off. Got it,” says Jounouchi as he and Mokuba climb into the back of the
limo again.“Now we
need to go find me a costume!” exclaims Mokuba, “I think I should go as a guy
since some of Seto’s business associates will be there!”“Okay,”
says Jounouchi looking out the window as the limo starts to move and they pass
the shops. His eyes become fixated on an adult fantasy shop with a display of a
dominatrix-clad mannequin with a whip winding around its plastic body. His eyes
widen as he remembers the locked room off the library. “Mari… I just remembered
something that maybe I could give Seto for his birthday, but I don’t have
enough money for it. I know I’m asking a lot right now, but could you help me
pay for it, no questions asked?”“You don’t
want to tell me what it is, do you?” asks Mokuba noticing the distant look on
Jounouchi’s face.“Your
brother and I got into something that we want to keep you out of. It’s not
illegal or anything, just personal,” says Jounouchi.“You’re not
into BDSM, are you?” asks Mokuba raising an eyebrow.“No!”
Jounouchi’s eyes widen and he glares at Mokuba, “What makes you say such
perverted things?”“You were
looking at that bondage shop pretty intensely,” says Mokuba.“It’s nothing
like that,” says Jounouchi, “You see, the shop just… I can’t. It’s not my place
to say. I won’t tell you anything, and I’ll understand if you won’t give me the
money because of that. If I don’t get the money, then I guess I just can’t do
it for Kaiba.”“How much
money are we talking about?”“I don’t
know. I haven’t checked into it yet,” says Jounouchi.“I’ll give
you my credit card later,” says Mokuba, “but whatever this mystery gift is, it
better make my brother happy.”“I hope it
will,” says Jounouchi.Mokuba
nods. “I don’t like not knowing…”“I’m
sorry.”The limo
pulls up outside of the mall, and the two boys step out of it. They enter and
start to make their way to the costume shop.“Would you
like to shop on your own, and I’ll go buy us some ice cream?” asks Jounouchi
looking longingly at the food court.“Okay!”
exclaims Mokuba entering the shop, “Chocolate please, big sister.”Jounouchi
smiles and blushes as he walks into the food court and heads to the ice cream
parlor. He buys two vanilla milkshakes and two chocolate ice cream cones. He
kindly accepts the carrying tray from the cute girl, who doesn’t even make his
member twitch, and he starts to make his way back to the costume shop. He
almost runs into another cute girl as she comes out of the costume shop.“Oh, sorry!
I wasn’t watching where I was going!” exclaims the white-haired girl.Jounouchi
blinks for a moment, quite sure that he heard Ryou’s voice sounding from the
lavender painted lips. “Oh, no! That’s quite all right!”Mokuba
steps out of the shop carrying a bag full of goodies. “Oh, there you are,
Kat-chan!”“Mari?
Great. Here’s your ice cream. I got vanilla shakes too.”“Kat-chan?”
