"No wonder your sister almost went blind. She was forced to look at an ugly mutt like you," Seto Kaiba snarrled at Joey.

Joey was on the ground, staring up at him wide-eyed, obviously what Kaiba said had struck a nerve. Usually by now, Joey would have been on his feet ready to fight. But he had this apathetic look on his face and was staring at Kaiba wordlessly. Joey picked up his bag and walked down the hall in the opposite direction, without even a glance back.

Kaiba started to walk off in the other direction, not really giving any thought to what he had just said to Joey. It was just another meaningless insult, something he wouldn't even remember in a day or two.

"Seto Kaiba just where do you think you're going?" Said the high pitched voice of none other than Tea Gardner.

"Home, where else?" Kaiba muttered glancing at his watch.

"You just made Joey cry,"

Yugi and Tristan who were aproached just in time to hear that winced. Never, Never metion crying and guys - they just ruin the guy's reputation.

"Go and apologise this instant!" Comanded Tea, there was no way anyone would insult one of her friends and then walk away.

Kaiba who had no way of excaping Tea's wrath, trudged forcibly down the other hallway to look for Joey. The sooner he found him, the sooner he could get out of the hell hole called school.

~ ~ Seto's point of view ~ ~ ~

Why am I even bothering? Since when does a brunette who's a little to preppy for their own good tell me what to do?

Maybe because you care...

Care? Ha, what a joke. Like I would ever feel anything for the mutt other than pure hatred.

I wouldn't be so sure. I'm positive that you didn't hate him when he made those puppy dog eyes at you, in fact the exact opposite...

Ever heard of pity?

Oh this wasn't pity... More like lust or I daresay, love?

You have a sick mind! I loathe the puppy, the stupid excuse for a human.

... The puppy? Nice nickname.

Shut-up!

I open another door, ready to give up looking. Why do I even bother? But inside this very door I happen to see a figure crouched down on the floor. None other than Wheeler himself. He didn't notice me when I came in, so when I sat next to him he looked up alarmed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked before he could even mutter some insult at me.

He shruged, still not looking at me. Then I notice that he had a folder and a black permament marker in his hands.

"What are you doing?" I ask before grabbing the folder, examining it's contents.

The folder must have been a teachers for it contained students information and their pictures. I was about to ask what he was doing with the folder when I looked a little closer at the pictures.

On each picture he had drawn on black mustaches or beards or glasses - whatever. Well, that explains the black marker. I look through the folder for my picture, fully aware that Joey is staring at me.

"Looking for this?" He mumbles and hands me my picture. I was ready to expect my picture to be fully destroyed, full of black marker. But my picture was marker free. It was just a normal picture...

"I didn't think you'd look good with a mustache." He says before I could even say anything.

I stare at him not sure weather he was joking. But he smiles at me and I laugh. Soon we're both in hysterics.

I'm not really sure what we were laughing at. But it was kind of funny in a way - we're sitting on the floor behind the teachers desk with a bunch of photo's with black magic marker on them. Not an everyday situation.

"Um, Seto?"

"What?" When I realized what he meant.

Somehow my arms had found their way around his waist, his feet tangled with mine. We struggled to untangle ourselves, though failing horibly. Instead, Joey just lost his balance and fell on top of me. His face just a few inches from mine.

He blushed deeply, like the confused little puppy he is. I could practically feel his heart beating so qucikly it was a mircle he didn't go into cardiac arrest.

We stared at each other for a few seconds. He leaned close for a second, so close that I swear he was going to kiss me. His face was on fire, he was blushing like mad. I moved a little closer to him, shivering despite the fact that the classroom was heated.

Suddenly though he moved away; a frightened, scared little puppy. How pathetic, what a wimp.

Like you would do any better, you're just as scared as him...

The Seto Kaiba is scared of nothing!

I pulled him back, so close it's amazing he couldn't hear me think. I'm sorry but a scared little mutt won't do me any good...

~ ~ ~ Joey's point of view ~ ~ ~

I swear I almost died of shock when Kaiba pulled me back. I felt his arms snake around my back, keeping me close.

Suddenly I felt his lips on mine. He was kissing me, I was kissing him - we were kissing. I felt a shiver all down my spine. I was making out with my enemy but I didn't care. Right now I'm pinning him to the floor, kissing him like mad and I don't give a damn about how my world is spinning out of control...

"Maybe they're in here," I hear Yugi say, right outside the classroom door.

Kaiba and I jump up. My heart's beating fast as I try to wipe all the dust off my clothes. Kaiba looks freaked out. The door opens...

"There you are!" Tea yells much to my dismay - yelling and Tea don't mix.

"What were you two doing?" Yami asks looking around at all the papers on the floor.

I glance over at Kaiba, trying not to laugh as he begins to flush. Are sure you really want to know Yami?

Kaiba doesn't say a word, ignoring completely that anyone had even said anything. He stalks out of the room.

I look at their faces, wondering how they would react if I told them. But hope of ever telling them flies out the window. As they watch Kaiba walk off, their faces show anoyyance, anguish and... pure Hate.

This will be our little secret, right Seto?
