Chapter One: Nyaneechuan.
Hey!
My name's Katsuya Jounouchi, Jou for short.
Actually, 'Jounouchi' is my last name. Katsuya is my first. Everyone calls me by my last, though.
But that's not really the point, I guess.
I'm Sweet Sixteen, about…six feet tall, I guess. Well, was. I don' really check my height or weight. Well, not until recently, anyway.
Y'see, I recently went on a trip with my sister, Shizuka. We went to China, specifically the Jusenkyo Springs. 'Course, no one told us they were cursed, now did they?
We found out soon enough.
Now I'm cursed, lucky me. I went to the Cursed Jusenkyo Springs.
I should never have gone to China, when I couldn't even READ Chinese. The biggest mistake of my life.
Now I'm cursed.
But that's not the worst part.
The worst part is, we're going back to Japan tomorrow. And I have school.
Yuugi sighed, frowning worriedly as he looked around the schoolyard. Jou said he'd meet him at the front of the school at 8:40AM. It was 9:10, five minuets before the bell.
"Jou-kun…" Yuugi whispered softly. Where was he…? He was supposed to come back from China today…
"Yuugi? What are you doing out here?" Anzu asked. Yuugi smiled.
"Oh, hi Anzu. I'm just waiting for Jounouchi." He said. She sighed.
"He probably slept in. Now c'mon, or you'll be late!" She said, turning back to go inside. Yuugi took one more glance, before leaving in defeat. 'Jou-kun…'
The teacher clapped his hands as the last bell rang.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, class." He said.
"Ohayo!" Rang the chorus of students. Well, except Kaiba, but he never really said anything.
"I'm pleased to announce the arrival of a new student to our class. She's come all the way from Jusenkyo, China, to attend our school. Miss?" He looked over at the door. Slowly, the door opened, and an embarrassed-looking girl walked in.
She was slightly shorter than Anzu, with long red hair done into a low ponytail, two identical locks hanging at the side of each head. She had pretty honey eyes, and soft, fair-colored skin. But instead of the usual girls' school uniform, she wore Chinese attire that consisted of a red, silk, long-sleeved shirt that went to her elbows. It was closed at the front, where gold rope-like chains held it shut all down her front, to where a navy blue ribbon was tied around her waist, hanging down in two tresses, just above the floor. Other than those, she wore 'puffy' navy blue pants that ended just above her ankles made of a soft material and held by an elastic on the inside, no socks, and black Chinese-style shoes. She had a shapely body, and well-fitted chest.
She bowed slightly.
"N-Nihao…" She murmured softly. Whispers quickly started, along with a few grins from some of the guys. Kaiba only sent her a cold stare. She gulped.
"Say, doesn't she look like Jou?" Anzu whispered. Yuugi blinked.
"Yeah, I guess. But only the top of her head." He said. The teacher hushed them almost immediately.
"Please introduce yourself." The teacher urged. She blushed.
"I'm Katsu Jounouchi." She said softly. More murmuring voices were heard.
"Jounouchi?" The teacher blinked. "You must be related to Katsuya Jounouchi?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No sir." She said. He scratched his head.
"Hmm…well, you may take the empty desk beside Mr. Kaiba, then." He said. Katsu nodded, walking over. She gave an uneasy glance at the brunette, before sitting down beside him. He didn't even so much as cast her a glance, which she was thankful for. "Now, let's begin our lesson…" The teacher then began his usual day of preaching. Katsu sighed, lying her head against the desk.
"Oi…" Katsu blinked, looking up.
"Nani…" Yuugi smiled, waving.
"Hi. I'm Yuugi." He said. Katsu blinked, before a small smile spread onto her face.
"Hi." She gave a small wave.
"Would you like to eat lunch with me and my friends today?" He asked timidly. Katsu tittered.
"Okay."
Honda, Anzu and Ryou blinked as Yuugi and a girl in Chinese clothing walked up. Honda instantly got a silly grin on his face. Anzu waved.
"Hi Yuugi!" Yuugi waved back with an equal smile.
"Konnachiwa!" He called, walking over. Honda ran over, pointing at Katsu.
"Who's your friend?" He asked eagerly. Katsu blinked at his obvious change in behavior. Yuugi smiled.
"This is Katsu Jounouchi, from Jusenkyo China. She's in my class." He said. Katsu bowed slightly.
"Nihao." She said softly. Honda grinned, shaking her hand thoroughly.
"Hi! Hi! I'm Honda Hiroto!" He grinned. Katsu blinked, an awkward look coming over her face as he proceeded to shake her hand up and down. Ryou, Yuugi and Anzu sweatdropped.
"Hello, I'm Ryou Bakura. It's very nice to meet you." He smiled kindly. Katsu returned his smile.
"I'm Anzu Mazaki." Anzu smiled. Katsu smiled again.
"It's nice to meet all of you." She said.
"Hey…you look like our friend, Jounouchi! And your last names are the same!" Honda noted. Katsu blushed, looking to the side.
"I've never met him, sorry." Honda took her wrist and led her to their table.
"That's okay! Come have lunch!" He urged. Katsu grinned nervously.
"O-okay…"
"Careful Hiroto. You might scare another girl away." Kaiba smirked. Honda flushed, growling angrily.
"You got a lotta nerve, Kaiba." He growled. Kaiba only snorted.
"Seems like you've got more, hitting on a girl so shamelessly." Katsu clenched her fist, glaring.
"Baka…" Honda growled. "I'd kick your ass if we weren't in school." Kaiba smirked.
"That, or you're too scared?" Honda clenched his fist.
"I'm not afraid to-" Katsu stepped between them, looking at both, before frowning slightly at Kaiba.
"Why're you acting like such a stuck-up brat who thinks he's better than anyone, huh?" She question lamely. Kaiba quirked an eyebrow.
"And I thought you to be no more than some stupid transfer student." He smirked. Katsu glared.
"Surprise." She poked him in the chest, a hand on her hips. "Now, why don't you go away, hmm? I don't think Honda-kun enjoys bein' referred to as a pervert." She said. They all blinked at her boldness. Not many people would even TALK to Kaiba, for fear of their life. And this new girl from China had just waltzed over and spoke back, poking him as well!
Honda was practically crying due to the fact that a gorgeous girl had called him 'Honda-kun'.
"K-Katsu…" Yuugi gasped. Katsu looked back.
"Yuugi?" She asked.
"You-you DO know who you're lecturing…right?" He asked slowly. Katsu looked back at him.
"Seto Kaiba, head of Kaiba Corporation. The richest man in Japan, why?" She asked, as if it meant anything. Kaiba frowned.
"Such a light tone of voice. But what would someone from a far away place like China know?" He sneered. Katsu flushed with anger.
"Racist pig!" She yelled, slapping him with her hand. There was a loud 'smack!'ing sound as her bare hand connected with his cheek. Every gasped in shock and horror as a red mark was left on Kaiba's face.
Katsu's face was that of anger and malice, whilst Kaiba's was of stunnedness.
"You-you slapped him!" Anzu gasped. Katsu glared at the CEO.
"I can't believe they let some as big a jerk as YOU into this school!" Katsu snapped. Kaiba looked back, glaring.
"Nice hit-for a girl." He sneered. Jou flushed. That was the LAST thing he should have said to her at that moment.
"Seto Kaiba-!" She growled, clenching both her fists and teeth. "I-AM NOT-A-" She paused, blinking. 'Oh wait, I am…' She looked at the floor, embarrassed.
"Not a what?" He smirked.
"Not…not…" She looked at the floor frantically. "Not someone who you can just insult!" She recovered quickly. "If you're gonna insult me, then you're gonna fight me, too!" She said. Kaiba smirked.
"Fine. We'll meet at Kaiba Land after school for a duel." He smirked. "You DO know how to duel, don't you?" Katsu nodded.
"Yeah! And I'll kick your butt, too!" She growled. "I'll be there!" She said. Kaiba nodded.
"Then I'll see you there." He sneered, before walking off. Katsu clenched her fists.
"That jerk-!" She turned around, walking over to the group again, a slight blush on her cheeks. "Gomen…I lost my temper…" She murmured. They all fell over.
"You SLAPPED him for Pete's sake!" Anzu cried. Honda held Katsu's hand in his own, staring at her with a smitten look.
"He got what he deserved! Katsu-you are my kibo no hikari!" He said. Katsu sweatdropped. 'Ecchi-definitely.'
"Um…yeah, okay…" She sighed heavily. "I can't believe he was such a jerk…" Yuugi and the others sat down beside her.
"He's always a jerk…but today was definitely his worst ever…" Anzu sighed. Katsu gingerly ate a piece of sushi from her bento.
"But I'm gonna show him a thing 'r two at the duel." She smiled. Yuugi frowned.
"But how good are you? His IS the regional champion, you know…" He pointed out. Katsu smiled.
"I'll manage."
Katsu walked up to the main desk at Kaiba Land, looking up at security officer.
"Which way to the duel with Kaiba? I'm supposed to fight him." She said He chuckled.
"Down the hall, Duel Arena #12." He said, jerking his thumb in that direction. Katsu bowed in thanks, trotting off down the hall.
"Kaiba? Hey, you here?" Katsu called.
"Took you long enough." He snorted from the doorway. Katsu flushed.
"Whatever! Let's just duel, okay?" She growled, whipping out her deck. Kaiba nodded, taking his respective place at the duelist stand.
"Duel." They said in unison.
Katsu and Kaiba drew their first five cards.
"How about we make a little wager, hmm, Katsu?" Kaiba asked as he looked up his cards. Katsu blinked.
"Like what?" He smirked.
"If I win, which I probably will, you'll allow me to take you to a business party on Sunday." He said coolly.
"What?!" Katsu cried, going red. Kaiba frowned.
"Not because I want to. I need a partner for the business party." He growled. Katsu growled.
"And if I win?" Kaiba smirked.
"IF you win, you'll take any card you want from deck, how's that?" Katsu nodded.
"Fine! Now hurry up!" Kaiba smirked, and lay down his first card.
"I play Sword Stalker in attack mode, and I end my turn." Katsu drew her card, smirking.
"Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode! Destroy the Sword Stalker!" She grinned as Kaiba lost 400 life pints.
"A rare card." He smirked. "Where did you get it?" Katsu smirked.
"Won it in a duel. It's your turn, money bags." She grinned. Kaiba smirked.
"Blue Eyes White Dragon, in attack mode."
From there on, Katsu was just barely able to keep his life points up. He tried everything she knew, but in the end, she still lost. Kaiba sneered.
"I thought you said you were going to beat me?" He smirked. Katsu flushed.
"Shut up!" She yelled in both embarrassment and anger. Kaiba poked her forehead. "I'll be seeing you at my house on Sunday." He smirked. "Oh-and make sure to pack your suitcase." He smirked.
"Huh?" Katsu blinked. "Whadda ya mean 'pack my suitcase'?" Katsu demanded. Kaiba smirked.
"We're going to China."
