Well, even if real life gets in the way and delays me more than I wanted--sooooo sorry about that, by the way!--I'm going to contribute my two cents to this roundrobin and pray I don't screw up! Wish me luck and hope you all like!

"This is all your fault." Jou grumbled petulantly as he headed to the dean's office with Seto, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he pouted. He noted that Seto looked at him like he was insane out of the corner of his eye.
"My fault? And just how do you get that, inu?" Seto snorted. "You're the one that was causing the ruckus, as always." he pointed out as he strode alongside the blond.
"If you'd act like yourself--and stop calling me that damn name!--I wouldn't have made a 'ruckus'!" the blond growled as he glared at him. "What is with you today, anyways? Saving my butt like you did, I swear aliens came and switched your body."
Seto rolled his eyes at the last, and felt his cheeks pinkening faintly at that intense topaz stare. He supposed he was acting oddly, to the other's standards, but he didn't have to explain himself to the mutt. He sniffed and stuck his nose up into the air. "Don't be ridiculous..or at least, anymore than you are." he drawled, smirking when the blond growled. "You ought to be grateful that I saved your hide, or you would have detention upon detention, I'm sure."
"Didn't ask for your help." Jou muttered as his shoulders hunched. "I can take care of myself."
"Sure you can, inu. Just like you can duel circles around me."
"Hey..! Why you..!" About to go off on another tirade, Jou blinked at Seto in surprise when he just stopped in the middle of the hall, his eyes looking curiously blank. He stopped, cocking his head in a puppy-like fashion, despite himself. "Uh..Kaiba? You okay?" he replied hesitantly. When he received no answer, he carefully crept closer, peering at the CEO. "Kaiba? Hey...did you fall asleep on your feet or something?" He'd said he was tired..and he'd been acting more stranger than normal recently. What was wrong with him? He slowly waved a hand in front of the brunette's face, his brows furrowing when that brought no response. "I think you've been working too hard." he muttered.
The brunette continued to stand there like some sort of statue as several sensations shot through him like a miasma of anger and fire, bubbling like lava(harsh words sealed off in a cruel kiss, soft lips against his own, fists hitting his chest, teeth biting his lip, anger/lust/passion sliding through his veins, fingers tangling into soft golden hair, pulling his head back in a harsh yank to seize hold of his lips fiercely, blood and passion and hate churning together) in his chest as he stumbled slightly, before shifting absently and tottering off to the side, leaning against a wall as Seto finally closed his eyes, panting faintly.
He could still see those fiery amber eyes in his mind, glaring at him for all their worth, could still hear his muffled sounds of protest as he seized those lips under his and kissed the breath out of him. Good gods...he lifted a hand to his head, pushing his bangs off of his face absently, tousling the straight, neat hair slightly. He had to stop these...flashes, he would go insane if he kept feeling lips and hands and teeth that weren't there.
Jou blinked at him in frank confusion--and he would deny it to the last of his breath, concern--as he watched Seto slump slightly. To see the usually-untouchable Kaiba like this...it was almost scary. "Hey..you okay?" he asked almost timidly as he shifted closer, his eyes widening as he ducked, just in time, a fist that swatted at him. "Hey! I was just wondering, no need to hit at me!" he growled.
"...." Those blue eyes turned to gaze at the blond silently. "Hn." he muttered after a moment, where he gathered himself together and stood straight and proud once again. "I don't need your concern, inu." he replied with a soft snort, before he strode on as if nothing had happened.
Jou stood there, gaping like an idiot after the other. What had just happened, he had no clue. He didn't know if he wanted to know. For a moment, it seemed as if those eyes had actually not been so blank and smooth, like glass. He'd been able to see brief emotions there. Anger and confusion had been the most definable...but there had been something else, something that made him feel as if those intense blue eyes could see right through him. He gulped and struggled to tamp down a blush. Damn if those eyes couldn't see through his clothes like x-ray vision or something, like he'd wanted to eat him up.
"Nah...!" he snorted to himself, shaking his head. "Just imagining things.." Too much of his own weird dreams. He shivered slightly, before he got hold of himself and trotted after Seto. "Hey! Wait up!"
"Heel, boy." Seto replied with a smirk and a snap of his fingers, before he pointed to his side. The insult wasn't lost on the blond, who growled and looked ready to throttle him. That was better. He felt more comfortable with the lines drawn...he had still yet to figure out what to do with the rest of it, if to do anything. The trouble with the dean was nothing compared to the flashes he kept getting. He glanced at Jou out of the corner of his eye with a frown. Why did the mutt have to be so twisted up with his life, he would never know.
"Staring problem, Kaiba?"
That's it. He knew these dreams were too much when he was caught staring at the mutt. He restrained himself from blushing with a will of steel. He would just use it to put himself back in the right place. "No, just wondering if the dean's office will have a nice leash to tie you back with." he drawled.
"Why you..!"
Seto smirked, feeling more confident of himself as he turned the corner, and opened the door for himself and the steaming blond behind him.

That's all. Great work!
