Warnings: Yaoi and extreme drama mixed with humor.

�WHAT?� Yami shouted, �NO FREAKIN� WAY! I REFUSE!�
�Please calm down, Yami dear,� his mother said, �Shouting is very unbecoming.�
Yami�s crimson eyes stared at his mother and father disbelievingly. There was no way this could happen. It had to be some sick joke, a very, very sick joke.
�Yami��
It must be because of the stupid blonde joke! I didn�t mean it! Yami thought frantically, I was kind-of kidding when I said grandma looked like a blonde hooker with all that hair�
�Yami!� His father repeated, �Are you listening?�
Yami huffed and crossed his arms, �No I was not. My ears tuned you out after the whole �You have to marry, Seto.� part.� I am NOT getting married to that bastard! He�s like ice on two legs!
Yugi grinned at him, �It�s not so bad, Onii-chan. Kaiba-san seems pretty hot.�
Yami made a face, �Don�t be gross, Yugi. He�s a workaholic and likes to watch National Geographic in his spare time.�
�But National Geographic has really cool shows! Especial the special on grasshoppers�� Yugi rambled on.
Yami turned to his father and pleaded, �Why do I have to marry that bastard? Let Yugi marry him!�
Haruka sighed, �Because you�re the oldest, and the contract that your grandpa signed before he died only applies to our firstborn. And the last time I checked you were just that.�
Yami couldn�t believe this was happening to him. He could�ve been married off to some famous superstar but no. Fate just decided to play a little joke on him and get him married to Seto Kaiba, the biggest asshole living on the planet since Hitler, minus the throwing live babies into the fire personality. Everything else was oh-so dictator-ish.
�It was because of the blonde joke wasn�t it?�
Keiko raised her eyebrow. �What joke?�
Yami picked at his fingernails and replied lazily, �You know, the one slip about grandma�s hair looking like hooker hair during her funeral when I was five.�
Yugi snickered, �Too bad I don�t remember that.�
�You were three. How could you remember?� Yami said pointedly.
�Point taken,� Yugi said, �When did gramps die again?�
�Last year. I think he bore a grudge on me for insulting grandma.�
�Well it wasn�t very nice,� Haruka said, �I would bear a grudge too if someone said your mother looked like a hooker.�
Yugi stared at his mother�s bright red hair and asked, �Would you marry me off to someone if I told you that mom�s hair looks like congealed and rotten tomato soup?�
Haruka snickered. Keiko glared him down. Haruka squealed and shut up.
�He won�t need to.� Keiko replied smugly, �Because I�d castrate both of you myself.�
Yami rolled his eyes, �Don�t drag me into this. Yugi�s the one who said it.� I have taught him well.
�I was kidding.� Yugi mumbled. I think�
�Anyway, we�ve already made the arrangements and you are getting married two months from today. Every function that you have to go to will be with him.�
�TWO MONTHS? I HAVE PROM IN 3 WEEKS! YOU CAN�T EXPECT ME TO GO TO PROM WITH HIM! NO �EFFING WAY!�
�What did I say about shouting?� Keiko snapped, �Sit your ass down before I staple you to that chair.�
Yami glared at her but followed. His mother could be very violent when provoked. He�d seen it; his father had tiny staple marks on the arms of his Armani suit, and on his flesh arms.
Keiko pet Yami�s hand and said consolingly, �It�ll be fine, honey. My marriage to your father was arranged and look how we turned out.�
Yami glanced at his cowering father who was rubbing tiny puncture marks on his arms and thought; I do not want to end up like that.
�I don�t think you�re the best example for an arranged marriage that ended up perfectly.�
Keiko glared at her husband and murmured, �Stop your whimpering and be a man.�
�Hai, anata.�
Haruka straightened up and flicked invisible dust off his polo. His hands were trembling.
Yugi giggled and whispered, �You are so under mom.�
�She scares me.� Haruka muttered.
Yami frowned and asked, �Why did grandpa make that stupid contract in the first place? Did he just hate me for no reason at all?�
�Of course not, Yami. This contract was made well before you and Seto-kun were even born.�
Haruka took a faded picture from the table and handed it to Yami. It was a bit yellowed but Sugoroku Mutou�s youthful face was very apparent. There was another man beside him with ice blue eyes and a very familiar smirk. Both of them appeared to be in their late twenties.
Looks like the patented Kaiba smirk is inherited.
�Let�s just say that they wanted the Mutou and Kaiba Corporations to merge but neither of them were around long enough to see it happen.� Haruka explained, �It would�ve been inevitable. This contract kicks in when Yami turns eighteen��
��Which is on Friday.�
Yugi ticked off his fingers and said, �Wow. That�s in three days. Life must suck for you, man.�
�We wanted to tell you a bit earlier so it wouldn�t be much of a shock.�
Keiko took the photo and smiled, �You know gramps would�ve really wanted this.�
Yami look desperately at his brother but he was met with a shrug.
�Grandpa did want it, Yami�� Yugi said finally.
Great, Yami thought, they�re trying to guilt me into it, and it�s working.
Yami took a look at Sugoroku�s picture and the picture of Kaiba�s grandfather. There really was no escaping it, was there?
Yami sighed dejectedly. Fuck it.
�This better be worth it.�
Keiko and Haruka grinned.

�I can�t sue the dead, can I?�
�No you cannot, Seto.� His aunt replied tiredly, �And will you stop that infernal pacing. It�s giving me a headache. If only your father were here��
�He would probably be laughing his ass off,� Seto muttered, �He was such a sadist.�
�That explains where you got it from.�
Seto sneered and said, �I�m not a sadist.�
Rika raised and eyebrow and asked innocently, �Oh really? Do you not like to work all your employees to dregs, force them to come to work when they obviously have pneumonia and take some sick pleasure from it?�
Seto paused.
�Fine. Maybe I am a sadist.�
�You are synonymous with sadism.�
�So I like to make people suffer, but that�s not the point here.� Seto said calmly.
Rika sipped her black coffee.
�You can�t get out of this, Seto. I�ve had your lawyers check the contract and everything is perfectly legal. There are no loopholes,� Rika looked down at her mug and commented, �This is really good.�
�It�s from Italy. Stop changing the subject, Oba-san.�
Rika set the mug down, �The only loophole that you have is if one of you dies before or after the marriage. Either way works best.�
Seto stared at his aunt seriously. �Do you know any good assasins?�
�I will not have you kill off your fianc�. Besides,� Rika smiled, �I forgot to mention a little detail� if one of you somehow manages to die you, my dear nephew, will forfeit the entire Kaiba Corporation to your dear stepbrother.�
�There is no way I�m giving this company to Noah.�
�Exactly.�
Rika sipped some more of the coffee, �I�ll tell your secretary to ship this coffee to my office.�
�You can do whatever you want.� Seto sighed, �So basically you�re saying that there is absolutely nothing I can do about this?�
�Precisely.�
�But what about�?� Seto trailed off.
Rika looked at him squarely in the eye, �You will end that ridiculous relationship with the lowlife. He is nothing but a gold digger who is after your money.�
�You better stop right there, Oba-san,� Seto gritted out, �I will not have you speaking about Jonouchi that way.�
�Did I touch a nerve?� Rika mocked, �Face it, Seto. He�s poor and does not fit it with our society. He will only make himself look like a fool in front of many people if he continues this fling with you.�
�I love him,� Seto snapped, �You can�t change that.�
�I didn�t say you did not,� Rika replied, �You do not have to love your fianc�. After the marriage the only things expected of you are to stay together and head the company.�
�So this is just a marriage of convenience.�
�You could put it that way. But you cannot get married if everyone still knows that you and Katsuya-san are together. You must break up with him in public where the press will pick up on it easily.�
�I can�t�� Seto mumbled, crushing the document in his hands, �I promised that I wouldn�t hurt him. I can�t just publicly humiliate him.�
�You can and you will. This company that your grandfather built will crumble if Noah gets his hands on it. You and your father have wasted your entire lives making sure that Kaiba Corp remains on top. Are you willing to give all this up for a boy?�
Seto remained silent.
�I will not allow Kaiba Corp to crumble because you decided to grow a heart.�
��Hai.� Seto saw a few rain droplets hit the window.
It was a long way down. They were on the 32nd floor after all. I wonder what would happen if I just jumped off? But Noah�
Sigh.
�When is the wedding date?�
Rika pulled on her coat and headed for the door.
�In two months time. I�ve been in contact with Keiko Mutou about the wedding details so you need not worry. And Seto?�
Seto ripped his eyes away from the window, �Yes?�
�You must do it today, in that little caf� where you asked him to be your boyfriend.�
Seto stared at her. I think I didn�t get my sadism from dad. I think I got it from you.
�Who exactly is my fianc�, Oba-san?�
Rika opened the door.
�I believe his name is Yami. Yami Mutou.�
�Arigatou.�

Please don�t hate me�
�Jou?�
Jonouchi smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.
�I missed you.� He stated plainly.
Seto laughed, �You saw me this morning if I recall properly.�
�I know.�
Seto sat down on the chair opposite his soon-to-be ex-boyfriend. It wasn�t fair. How could his grandfather do this to him? But it wasn�t anyone�s fault. No one could�ve guessed that Seto would find a boyfriend and actually love him.
Seto smiled. I remember all the paparazzi here when we went on our first date�
Seto looked at Jonouchi�s serene face as he drank his iced tea. I can�t believe I�m going to do this, Jou� I�m so sorry�
�Seto?� Jou�s voice roused his from his thoughts, �Is anything the matter? You seem a bit preoccupied today. More so than usual.�
Seto held the blonde man�s hand tightly. He saw a camera flash.
�Jou� I have to��
More flashes.
Here goes nothing�
�I have to break up with you.�
Jou attempted to stand up but the grip on his hand was too tight. I am so sorry�
�I guess it didn�t work out the way it was supposed to. I tried to love you but it�s just too hard. I don�t want to cause you anymore pain.� Lies, every single word.
Seto�s voice was emotionless and flat.
Jou looked at him coldly, his eyes expressing hurt and betrayal. Seto could have stabbed himself right now just so he could never see those emotions in Jou�s eyes again.
�Let go of my hand, Seto.� Jonouchi said quietly, �I understand.�
�I�m sorry.� I hope you can forgive me, Jou� I did love you� it�s just that�
Jonouchi smiled forlornly, �I forgive you, Seto. I just hope you can forgive yourself.�
Millions of flashes went off as Jonouchi stood up and walked out of the caf�, not one tear dropping. The rain fell harder outside, soaking his blonde hair. He hailed a cab on the corner and jumped in. More flashes followed him. And still not a single tear fell.
Seto leaned back and sighed.
I hope giving up Jou was worth it.
All the while, the storm raged on outside.

Note from The Furry Yellow-Striped Koala:
Well, this story was inspired mainly by me watching too much Korea drama/humor series. I was struck by an idea while I was watching reruns of Princess Hours on Sunday afternoon and boom. Instant story.
I wish you guys like it! Please review if you may be bothered to do it.
