Hey everyone! A/N at the start too this time!

Ok this story belongs to Puffy1505, so I hope you all enjoy it.

I don't own anything, not even the story line, only the literature is mine, no characters, nada.

Anyway

Please enjoy, chapter 1.

'So, it's settled then.'

'I believe so.'

'The only way to settle our company dispute is by marriage.'

'Yes. Your eldest child to my youngest.'

'Why not your youngest son?'

'He's too young to be involved in this.'

'And my daughter isn't?'

'She's 16. My son is 14.'

'Ok. So it's a deal?'

'Yes. Our companies shall merge through this in 3 months.'

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Jou groggily pulled his head from the desk to stare at the clock before him. 2.33. Fuck. The blackboard was covered in allsorts of texts and foreign numbering, and to be perfectly honest, he really didn't give a fuck what it said. He had 27…no 26 minuets until he could leave this god forsaken building and go home to do god forsaken homework, then go to godforsaken work before thanking the forsaking god for some sleep at the end of it all. Yes, that was a lot of gods, and no, he wasn't religious. He didn't believe in much, especially himself. He was just coming around to the end of his final year in school and the nerves for finals was kicking in. He'd come to the decision he could revise all he waned and he'd still get 'FUDGE' at the end off it. F in Maths, U in sciences, D in English, G in French and an E in Japanese. It didn't even matter anymore. He'd just stick to his day job and everything would be fine, eventually. Or so he liked to hope.

Lazy brown eyes glanced over to the left falling upon a particular brunet. Kaiba. Even the name gave him chills. He hated that man with a passion. That air of arrogance, that clean cut pretty boy look, the perfect hair and grades to match. His ass hole persona and lonely coolness-it was just so…irritating. And the dog jokes? It wasn't funny 2 years ago, and it defiantly wasn't funny now. You'd think with all that money he'd think of something new, something more original, but puppy? Mutt? Dog? And all the freaking loyalty puns, it drove Jou insane. He wanted to wipe that condescending smirk off the bastard's face. Now, don't get him wrong, he had tried. Many a time, actually. But he'd never landed a hit on the slender brunet. His graceful movements dodged Jou's blows with an annoying ease, and worse still the blue eyed monster would laugh about it as he did so, before launching a side kick to the blond's ribs. Now that hurt. Really hurt. It wasn't just a quick jab. No. It was an all out, full powered Seto Kaiba side kick, and Jou had had his ribs broken 3 times from the sheer power of it. Fucking Kaiba. He'd get him back…one day.

He looked to the clock again. 10 to. Great. Time was moving. Slowly. But it was defiantly moving. He took a deep breath before flopping onto the desk clutching his skin as he pulled his face from the desk. Yugi looked over, laughing slightly at the strange image Jou had become with his stretched skin. Jou smiled back, rubbing his face before leaning into his hands. 5 minuets. For fucks sake? Who decided school should be so long? It was like torture. It was only Monday too! Jesus.

As his eyes drifted to the clock again, the sharp ringing of the bell pulled him from his daze. Like lightening he pulled his bad over his shoulder and darted to the door.

Ow.

He looked up, his eyes coming back into focus, and a sudden pain shooting through his ass. What the hell just happened? Too soft to be a door, too hard to be a student…

Brown eyes focussed on the elusive Seto Kaiba, snarl and all, glaring down at him.

'Can't you see where you're going, Mutt?'

'Can't you move out of my way, moneybags?'

'Your so clumsy, it's a wonder you're even alive. You should watch who you run into. Filthy mutt, I probably caught fleas from you.' Jou scratched his hair, snarling back.

'I don't have fleas ya jerk.'

'Could have fooled me.' Scrambling to his feet, Jou grabbed a tight hold of the brunet's collar. Pulling their faced together, he hissed in the bruent's face,

'One of these days Kaiba, I'm gonna knock you so far on yer ass, that that pole will come shooting through yer damn mouth, yer got dat?' Seto pushed him off, brushing his clothing down,

'Touch me again, and you will regret it. Are we clear?'

'Crystal.' With that, Jou flung himself at the brunet, throwing him to the ground before mounting him. The crazed blond threw 4 or 5 punches at the paler man, which all resulted in hitting the floor. On the 6th punch, Kaiba grabbed the man's fist and elbow, bucked his hips and tossed the blond to the floor, before slamming a well aimed fist in the blond's face. That was gonna bruise.

Quickly, Jou grabbed the man again, slamming fast punches into his ribs, legs and shoulder, before it came. The side kick. Straight in the ribs. Again.

'Fuck.' Jounouchi gasps, clutching his ribs.

'I warned you mutt. Get a fucking muzzle and keep off me. You're badly trained.'

'One of these days Kaiba…'

'What? I'll kill you? I think so.'

'Fucks sake, you're such a jerk. This is why you have no friends.'

'Friends? I don't need to waste my time on useless shit like that. Never did you any good, now if you don't mind, I have more important things to do.'

'Yeah like get that pole removed.' Kaiba sneered at the blond,

'Just remember who put you on your ass, Jounouchi.' The brunet turned on his heels and left.

Well…that went well. Fucking Mondays were always the worst. Yugi rushed over helping Jou to his feet.

'Do you think it's broken, Jou?' Purple eyes looked up timidly,

'Nah, just a crack, maybe a bruise.'

'Why do you insist on fighting him? It's no good.'

'I'm gonna kick his ass.'

'Maybe you should give it in, Jou.' Anzu chipped in from the side, 'It's never done you any good yet.'

'I know, but it will.'

'Jou, please?' Anzu shook her head, pleading the blond to lay off.

'Fine but if he starts…'

'Rise above it.'

'Fine.' The blond grumbled, pushing away his friend's hands. 'I'm fine. I need to get home anyway.'

'Ok, text me later so I know you're ok.' Yugi looked up with huge eyes that melted the blond's heart.

'Sure thing, thanks guys.' Jou nodded to his friends and began to limp home. It was summer which meant the sun would shine a few hours more. Great. He got to work indoors during the sun. He smirked to himself, at least at the end of it he could he his friends, that was a luxury Kaiba didn't have, and none of his stupid funds could get him it either.

Great. He had one up on the brunet. Suddenly, Jou felt very happy, besides the horrible cracking noise his ribs were making…

oOoOoOoOoOoOo
