Chapter 1

"Bye bye, oniichan! I can't wait to see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah. Me too," Jounouchi said back into the phone, but much less enthusiastically. He really was excited to see his little sister, but he just couldn't seem to show it as he felt the eyes of his spikey-haired friend boring into him from behind.

"So?" Honda asked expectantly, leaning a little closer on the edge of Jounouchi's bed. "When's she coming?"

Jounouchi hung up the phone and kept his back to Honda. "None of your business," he said coldly.

Honda stood up and took a step towards Jounouchi. "What? You don't want me hangin' around tomorrow or something?"

Jounouchi still refused to turn around. "Maybe."

Usually, Jounouchi couldn't wait for Shizuka to come and visit him. After all, he barely ever saw her since their parents got divorced six years ago. But every time her name was even mentioned, he could bet that Honda would show up, ready to put his so-called "slick moves" into action. And he was sick of it. Not just seeing his best friend hanging all over his sister, but also because his sister seemed like she was starting to like it.

"Hey, come on, Jou," Honda pleaded, wrapping an arm around Jounouchi's shoulders. "She's the only one that I seem to have a chance with."

Jounouchi snorted and ducked out from under Honda's arm. Obviously realizing that Jounouchi was reluctant to say yes, he put up his hands and tried to plead his case.

"I know you don't want me butting in on your family time," he said. "But you won't even know I'm there. Promise."

Jounouchi raised an eyebrow. Honda in the same room with Shizuka and Jounouchi wouldn't even know that he was there? Psh. Fat chance of that happening. But it didn't really matter what Jounouchi said because Honda would just show up anyway. He closed his eyes and flopped down onto his bed.

"Yeah, whatever."

He didn't even bother to open his eyes to look at Honda, who no doubt had a smile beaming from his face.

Jounouchi had been feeling anxious the entire day, but Shizuka hadn't seemed to notice yet. Ever since he had greeted her at the train station that morning, he had been looking nervously over his shoulder every two seconds like a murderer was about to pop out of a bush behind him at any moment. Although, it wasn't exactly a murderer that he was looking out for.

"So, where to next?" he asked her. They had already been to the park, the movie theatre, and the arcade. There wasn't all that much left to see that she hadn't seen already.

Shizuka lightly tapped her finger against her chin. "Um...how about the mall?" she asked. "I wanted to buy a present for mom while I was here."

"Okay," Jounouchi said with a shrug. "It's not that far of a walk from here."

For the first time that day, Jounouchi was beginning to feel a little bit more relaxed. This day had gone much better than he had expected. The mall would probably be their last stop, since Shizuka had to leave in about four or five hours. Jounouchi sighed as they reached the doors to the mall and stepped inside.

There haven't even been any unpleasant surprises, Jounouchi thought, a small smile showing itself on his face.

"Hey! Didn't expect to run into you here!" a familiar voice called out from behind them.

Nevermind. His smile had already disappeared.

Jounouchi's eyes narrowed at Honda. "Yeah, what a coincidence," he said flatly. But of course, Honda hadn't taken any notice of Jounouchi at all and was already leading Shizuka around to some of his favorite stores. Jounouchi shoved his hands into his pockets and began to follow them.

"Oh, this one's great too. It's got the best candy."

Shizuka stared into the shop window and her eyes began to sparkle. "Ooh. It all looks so yummy!" She said excitedly. She pointed to a small box of chocolates wrapped in bright colorful tin foil. "Especially that one!"

Honda smirked as a seemingly brilliant idea came to him. "Hold on a minute," he said quickly as he darted into the store. He emerged a moment later with a similar box of brightly colored chocolates.

Shizuka blushed as Honda handed her the box. "Are these really for me?"

"Of course! You said you wanted them, so..."

Jounouchi rolled his eyes and tuned out the conversation. He didn't want to hear all this mushy crap, especially from Honda. He took a glance at his watch, suddenly wishing that time had miraculously gone by really fast and it was time for Shizuka to leave now. Unfortunately, it had only been five minutes.

"Hey, what do you say we all go down to the food court and get something to eat before we shop?" Honda suggested.

Shizuka nodded, but Jounouchi didn't respond. He still wasn't paying attention.

"That's a great idea," she said with a smile. "Isn't that a great idea, oniichan?"

"Huh?" Jounouchi asked dumbly. He had only caught the last two words of Shizuka's sentence.

She giggled. "I said that Honda had a great idea," she repeated.

Jounouchi raised an eyebrow. "He did? Too bad I missed it. Honda doesn't usually have a lot of those..."

Honda glared at him. "More than you do."

"Yeah, fine. Whatever," Jounouchi muttered. He didn't care if he sounded like a jerk. He just wanted to get the day over with.

The remaining four hours of Shizuka's visit seemed to stretch on forever. And Jounouchi spent each aggravating minute behind Honda and Shizuka, reluctantly watching them out of the corner of his eye just to make sure that Honda didn't try to pull something. Every clothing store they went into was filled with comments of how pretty she would look in this, and how nice she would look in that. Just when Jounouchi was about to throw up, he looked at his watch and was relieved to see that it was finally five-o'clock.

Later that night, Jounouchi picked through the refrigerator at Honda's apartment while Honda flipped through the channels of his TV.

"No, no, no, boring, stupid, rerun, no, no..."

"Hey, Honda. How long has this cheese been in here?" Jounouchi called from the kitchen.

Honda turned his head. "Well, since I can't remember the last time we had cheese..." he trailed off.

"Meh. It looks fine to me," Jounouchi said, bringing a hunk of the questionable substance into the living room. He took a seat next to Honda on the couch.

Honda made a face as Jounouchi lifted the cheese up to his mouth. "Uh, Jounouchi, I don't think those blue spots are supposed to be there..."

Jounouchi ignored his friend and proceeded to shove the "cheese" into his mouth. He gave Honda a goofy grin as he saw Honda sweatdrop.

"Ew."

Jounouchi continued to smile as Honda finished his channel surfing. He flipped off the TV and slid down into the couch cushions.

"Today was fun," he said.

Jounouchi swallowed and looked away, suddenly not in the mood to smile. "Yeah. Says you."

Honda sat up again. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Jounouchi sighed. "Well, it's hard to have fun when I have to watch you hit on my sister the entire time."

"I can't believe you're bitching about that," Honda said angrily. He stood up from the couch and glared at Jounouchi, who was still looking in the opposite direction.

Jounouchi finally looked back at Honda, and there was a scowl on his face. "Look, Honda, I don't want you to hang around my sister anymore."

"What, so you're afraid that she might actually like me?"

Jounouchi's eyes narrowed. "Maybe."

"So I guess you don't want your sister to be happy, then?" Honda asked as he crossed his arms.

"No!" Jounouchi said defensively, jumping up from the couch so he was standing face to face with Honda.

"Okay, then you just don't want me to be happy."

Jounouchi's confidence faltered for a split second, causing him to hesitate with his answer. "N-no..."

Honda's eyes were narrowed as far as they could go. He was obviously very irritated. "Then what's the big deal! Why the hell do you care so much!"

Honda's question was instantly answered as Jounouchi leaned in and pressed their lips together. He didn't stay there long, for fear of how Honda might react. When he pulled away, Honda was standing completely still with his eyes staring straight ahead in surprise.

"That's why," Jounouchi mumbled and without waiting for any sort of response, he ran out of the apartment, leaving Honda to stare at the blank TV screen with a look of pure shock on his face.
