Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Fake Identity ❯ Confrontations ( Chapter 13 )

Confrontations

Kaiba had on an evil smirk at he stared at the sign,

(~Maybe this will actually be fun~) He approached the lady at the front desk, she smiled noticing that the CEO of Kaiba corp was in her presence.

"Hello, are you here to buy a puppy" she said way to sweetly for Kaiba, he hated sweet talk, he shook it off and got his evil smirk back on his face.

"Actually I am" he said with the clear evil evidence on his face,

"Well you can go to the back, and pick one out, if you have any troubles, Mr.Wheeler will help you since were the only two here" She showed Kaiba to the door letting him enter in before closing the door behind her.

Kaiba walked along the narrow hallway, looking from cage to cage, seeing the different types of dogs that were in the pound, but he was only here for one. That smirk appeared again on his face, there was only two hallways in this building and not a sign of the "Mutt". Suddenly, Kaiba heard a yelp come from the far back room, he looked towards the white door to see a golden retriever run out, soaking wet, with bubbles all around, then there was a voice that followed.

"Get back here!" Kaiba smiled he recognized that voice, a few seconds after the retriever ran through the door, out came a just as wet Joey Wheeler, clothes soaked an hair with bubbles throughout.

Joey stopped suddenly when he came face to face with the CEO, he looked started at that second trying to stop himself from running, but the soap on his shoes didn't help much, with a large thump Joey landed on his back right in front of Kaiba. He slowly sat up rubbing his aching back, that's when he heard a chuckle. He looked up to see Kaiba standing there, arms folded, with that smirk that Joey hated so much.

"OH NO, YOUR NOT GETTING ME AGAIN!" Joey shouted as he jumped to his feet, arms up ready to fight Kaiba in front of him.

Kaiba just chuckled more, the darkness grew in his face, but suddenly remember that Serenity didn't want him to get into any type of a fight.

(~The mutt looks so pathetic, could even wash his own species~)

"I always thought you would like to be around your own species"

"KAIBA"Joey hissed, he took a step back, just in case.

"I have to talk to the girl at the front desk, it seems that they let one dog lose" Kaiba pointed at Joey indicating that comment to him,

"THAT'S IT, IF YOUR HERE TO CAUSE TROUBLE YOU FOUND IT" Joey yelled,

"I'm here, because I was sent to retrieve a dog, and I shall"

"Sent by who?" Joey's eyes got curious, that Kaiba was "sent"

"Your sister, Serenity" Kaiba taunted Joey as he said his sisters name,

"MY SISTA, WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT NOW SHE CAN'T STAND YOU, NOW IF YOUR NOT HERE TO ADOPTED A DOG, THAN GET OUT!"

Kaiba smirked again, he really had no clue,

"Where do you think your sister was last night?"

"In her room, duh!" Joey was starting to get on Kaiba's nerves,

"No moron, she was with me, she came to me, because she loves ME" the anger went through Kaiba as he stated the obvious.

"NO WAY SHE WOULD EVER LOVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU, YOU MADE HER LIFE HELL, WHY WOULD SHE EVER WANT TO BE AROUND YOU?"

"Your really naive, aren't you?, she came to me last night, she stay the night with me, in my arms"

"I THINK YOU WERE JUST DREAMING"

"Ha, why don't you ask her yourself?"

"MAYBE I WILL"

"Fine, then lets go"

"Hold on I don't trust you, and besides I can't just walk off the job" Joey looked around for that one puppy that ran out on him, as he spotted him he went to pick him up.

Kaiba watched as Joey held the pup in his hands, he could see the resemblance,

"Are you two brothers, you look alot a like" he teased with the same cruelty,

"Watch it Kaiba, we both have teeth" Joey smirked looking over his shoulder

"I don't have all day Mutt, I promised your sister I would return with you, so hurry up"

"I'm not going anywhere with you, and my sister has nothing to do with this, so stop lying"

Kaiba's anger boiled as Joey flicked him way like a little bug, no one does that to Kaiba and gets away with it.

Joey rinsed off the pup in the back room, quickly drying him off, Kaiba watched Joey start to clean up, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Joey went to pick up the tub his used to clean the young puppy, that was it. Kaiba forced Joey's head down into the dirty water, Joey hardly had time to take a breath as he was plunged into the water. Kaiba held him down in the water hand behind Joey's neck as Joey thrashed around trying to get air. Kaiba pulled Joey out of the water as he gasped for air.

"WHAT THE *cough* WAS *cough* THAT?"

"I noticed the Mutt didn't take his bath yet, now your coming like it or not"

"IN YOUR DEEPEST DREAMS" Joey yelled, that's when he was again plunged into the water, struggling for more air as Kaiba just held him down, then pulled him up.

"Do you agree?"

"*cough* fine, but I swear if you are lying I'll kick your ass all the way back to this pound" Kaiba smiled he liked to win, but he couldn't help but dunk Joey one more time before walking away.

Joey rubbed his eyes, get all the water that was in his face out of the way, he growled as Kaiba called back to him,

"You better hurry, your sister is waiting"

Joey followed cautiously behind Kaiba a few feet, they opened the door to the front room, the lady was wide eyed when she saw Joey completely soaked with water.

"Joey?..." She quickly looked at Kaiba and smiled,

"Did you find a pup that will suit you Mr. Kaiba?"

"Yes I did, I'll take him?" Kaiba flipped a 25 cent coin at the lady, then called back to Joey,

"Come on Mutt, time for a walk"

Joey's face grew so red, from embarrassment and anger all in one, he growled when Kaiba had done that, but didn't say anything or do anything.....yet,

--------------------------------------------------

Serenity lingered around Kaiba mansion, bored to death waiting for Seto and Joey to return, she knew it wouldn't be easy to get Joey here, but she was sure Kaiba could do it. Serenity was startled when someone tapped her shoulder, she turned to see Mokuba smiling at her.

"Still here?" Mokuba smirked, he teased her and she could feel her face grow red,

"Yea actually, Seto's bringing Joey back here to talk" Mokuba smirk grew,

"Seto? when did you ever call him Seto?" Serenity couldn't continue, she was struck mute at that comment,

"Did you stay the night, Serenity?" Mokuba smiled,

"Y-yes but I didn't do anything" She quickly defended herself,

"Sure you did" Mokuba teased he saw how red she was getting, but he also knew his brother wasn't like that, he knew Serenity told the truth but he did love bugging her about it.

"MOKUBA?" Serenity yelled, clearly embarrassed,

"Just kidding Serenity, whoa, settle down, when will he be back?"

"Hopefully soon"

"Where does Joey work?"

"The dog pound"

Mokuba's eyes went huge, "And you sent Seto there, thinking he won't say anything?"

Serenity smiled, she knew what Mokuba meant,

"Yes, but I knew he would say something, what other way besides force can he get Joey to come then by ticking him off to the point he would try and kill him"

"That's evil Serenity, maybe you are meant for my brother"

Serenity smiled, she knew she would hear about it later from Joey but she didn't care as long as the three of them can come to an agreement,

"There here" Serenity snapped her head up at Mokuba's statement, she rushed over to the window where Mokuba was looking out of,

"Joey looks wet, Serenity" Serenity just smiled and shook her head, it seems that Kaiba was cussing at him about being wet.

---------------------------------------

"MUTT YOU GOT MY SEATS ALL WET!" Kaiba looked at his leather seats soaked from Joey sitting on them,

"Serve you right, for calling me names" Joey stuck up his nose in a snooty way, a smile apparent on his face,

"There's nothing worst then a wet dog" Kaiba countered,

"Hey, watch it Kaiba, your going to pass that line" Kaiba smiled as he walked past Joey up to his house, he saw Serenity smiling through the window.

(~Hopefully this works~) Kaiba thought as he opened the door, to see Serenity standing there, Joey looked over Kaiba's shoulder, as soon as he saw his sister he bulldozed Kaiba over to get to her,

"Did that creep hurt ya?" Joey asked looking over Serenity,

"No, I came to him" Joey was struck with confusion, then he heard Kaiba's I-told-you-so which got him angry.

"WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING, SERENITY? THIS IS THE SAME GUY WHO KIDNAPPED YOU, HIT YOU, BRIBED YOU, ABUSED YOU, AND NOT TO MENTION ME, AND HE'S THE ONE..."

"I love" Serenity finished off Joey's sentence, which didn't help the situation, Joey whipped around and glared at Kaiba who was smirking again.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? WHAT DID YOU MAKE HER BELIEVE?"

"I didn't do anything to her" Kaiba grinned, seeing Joey mad was one of his reasons for living,

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU KAIBA" Joey fumed

"Joey please he's right" Serenity pleaded, tears started to emerge from her eyes.

"Can't you see he's playing you again, look at him, could you really trust him?" A stressed look appeared to Joey, confused for the way his sister was acting, and why he had no clue of what was going on.

"I don't think so....do you see...the way he treats Mokuba....he has always been true to his word...Joey please" Serenity couldn't hold back the tears, why was this so hard, her brothers eyes went to the floor as he tried hard to come up with a explanation, Kaiba was leaning on a table, arms folded watching this all occur in front of him.

"Keeps his word" Joey whispered just enough for Serenity and Kaiba to hear,

"Yes" Serenity whispered back at the same tone, Joey looked up narrowing his eyes at Serenity,

"DID HE KEEP HIS WORD WHEN HE KIDNAPPED YOU, REMEMBER THE DEAL, YOU STAY I GO, HUH, DID HE KEEP HIS WORD THEN?" Joey yelled, Serenity trembled in fear, her brother had never yelled at her before.

"You would yell and break your sisters heart because you hold a grudge against me, this had nothing to deal with you Mutt, it's about Serenity, not you" Kaiba's cold voice returned, he wasn't to please to see Joey yell at his sister like that,

"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS KAIBA" Joey faced Kaiba, just as angry.

"Why it's clear you two are talking about me, therefore I should be involved"

"YOU'VE HELPED ENOUGH"

"JOEY!!" Serenity yelled

"I don't want to hear it Serenity, were going home, you've spent to much time with this jerk" Joey grabbed her arm, pulling her to the exist, Serenity pulled away suddenly, angry burnt through her tears she stared in her brothers eyes.

"For the answer to your question Joey, yes he kept his word, he freed us, when you made it through the front door, did it even occur to you that Kaiba had known about it"

"How could he?"

"It's not brain surgery Mutt, I still have my wits, for one, my papers in my office were messed, I always keep them in a nice order, second, that little red button was pressed. I knew Mokuba was behind it because he's the only one that could go unnoticed"

"Don't you see Joey, Kaiba let us go, if he didn't want to we would still be here"

"And why would you do something like that?"

"Because, I love your sister" Kaiba stated the obvious, Joey at this point didn't know how to take it, he just looked away. Serenity touched his shoulder but Joey quickly pulled away, he didn't know what to think.

"Follow me, and I'll explain everything" Kaiba turned to walk into a small room, waiting for Joey to follow, with a sigh of defeat he followed, Kaiba gave Serenity a wink then shut the door.

------------------------------------------

"Well what is it?" Joey asked annoyed,

"Relax Mutt, I'll get to my point" Kaiba took a seat like he would do, when conducting an interview,

"I wish you wouldn't call me that" Joey scowled,

"Fine" Kaiba brang his hands to his face, in deep thought of where to being,

"Listen I don't know how to put this, you aren't fond of me, and I'm not fond of you, so why am I even here"

"This is about you, it's about Serenity, you can't keep her locked up forever she a woman now"

"I CAN SEE THAT" Joey was very annoyed, Kaiba started to sound like he actually cared,

Kaiba stood up, walking over to Joey, looking down on him with a stern look, a serious look, which Joey knew that you don't mess with.

"Then stop being thick-headed, I promise you I won't hurt her"

"OH I KNOW YOU WON'T HURT HER BECAUSE YOUR NOT GOING TO TOUCH HER"

"I'm trying to be civil here"

"When is the great Seto Kaiba civil"

"Never, that why you should take this in while you can" Kaiba plainly stated.

"Your sister has opened my eyes, she has brought me back to reality, knocked down my barrier and let the light shine through again, please don't take that away from me" Kaiba pleaded which shocked Joey,

"Is that pleaded I hear?"Joey asked cocky,

"Yes" Kaiba returned to his emotionless state

Joey rubbed his chin in thought, he never saw Kaiba act like that maybe Serenity did change him, but to make sure he is serious and won't hurt Serenity, Joey must put Kaiba to the test, to see if under the circumstances Kaiba's pride won't get in the way.

"Prove it" Joey smiled, he had the perfect torture, a VERY EVIL torture
