Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Here is Gone ❯ We got to move you darling ( Chapter 1 )

Jou limped across the school yard on his way to meet with Yugi and Yami. The two were caught up in a duel so they didn't notice Jou limping towards them. However, Jou wasn't aware of someone coming up behind him. He was very aware of them in a matter of seconds though."What the matter mutt someone take your chew toy?" Jou turned to see Seto Kaiba sneering at him. This was not what he needed today.

"Le'me alone Kaiba." Jou said softly. Seto looked at him for a moment and Jou thought he was doing nothing more than getting his next insult ready.

The thought hadn't even crossed Seto's mind. He in fact was drinking in the sight of Jou. He had been confused all morning after Jou had not shown up for class and now he was worried about the limp that he noticed Jou now sported. *Shut up brain! He's a mutt and I don't worry about mutts.* he growled at himself mentally. Seto was very aware that there was something deeper than insults between Jou and himself but he had decided long ago to never act on it."What's the matter mutt, don't want to play today?" he asked with a mocking look on his face.

"I'm just not in da mood for ya shit today." Jou said in return but his voice didn't have the usual snap it normally held.

"Your in the mood for a go any other day mutt what makes today so different?" Seto asked hoping to get to the bottom of this. He then saw a look of fear and anger cross Jou's face, but the other boy said nothing he simply turned and walked away.

And I got my defenses When it comes to your intentions for me, yeah

Jou shook his head as he finally reached Yugi and Yami. The two were still at their duel so it gave Jou a moment to think. *Why did he ask that? What the hell does he want from me? What was I suppose to say 'Sorry Kaiba but I can't kick your ass today because my father kicked mine so hard last night?' Yeah right!* He figured if Kaiba ever found out what his father did to him that he would never hear the end of it. He was pretty sure Yugi and Yami knew when happened at his apartment but they keep quiet about it and Jou was thankful for that. He'd didn't know what he'd ever do if they asked just how bad it's gotten. How was he suppose to tell someone he'd been raped by his own father?

Seto walked back across the school yard and sat down under a tree watching Jou from a distance. He knew something wasn't right with the way the blonde had been acting lately and he wanted nothing more than to find out what and fix it for him. He was pulled out of his musings when he realized that Jou was staring back at him. He smirked and that caused Jou to look away quickly.

A sudden groan from Yugi caused Jou to look at his best friend. She enough Yugi had lost to Yami, who was grinning triumphantly. Jou smiled at his friends and they quickly began talking."Don't think we didn't hear that little spat with Kaiba." Yami said suddenly. Jou paled and looked down at the ground.

"Jou it's all right. You agreed to be civil to Kaiba while the rest of us agreed to be friends with him, but what he said wasn't very civil so we can't expect you to be civil back now can we?" Yugi said with a smile.

"Nah I shoulda been civil Yug, I shouldna sunk ta his level." Jou said with a frown.

Yami sensed that this would go no where and he also noticed that something was very wrong with the blonde. He looked at Yugi for a moment before speaking to him though their link.

//Aibou, I think we had better take Jou home.//

/What's wrong Yami?/ Yugi asked giving Yami a worried look. Yami shook his head.

//I'm not sure but something isn't right. Come let's go.// Yami said. Yugi looked over at his friend and then back to Yami. He then nodded and stood.

"Come one Jou let's go home. I'm not feeling to good." Jou looked at his friend with a puzzled expression but stood and followed Yugi and Yami out to the parking lot.

The three climbed into Yami's car and headed to Yugi's. Seto had watched the three leave and Yami had exchanged a knowing look with him. *I was right there is something wrong with my puppy.* Seto thought with a frown. He wanted to follow the three but decided against it. He knew that was likely to freak Jou out. He simply stood and decided to blow off his afternoon classes as well. He crossed the parking lot, got into his car, and sped off towards his home.And we wake up in the breakdown Of the things we never thought we could be, yeah

Almost as soon as they had gotten Jou to a couch did he simply crash. He fell into a fit full sleep while Yugi and Yami simply watched over him. It wasn't until almost ten at night that Jou finally woke up. He looked around alarmed and jumped up from the couch scaring Yugi and alarming Yami. Jou looked at the clock and started grabbing his things."Oh shit!" he yelled "Thanks fer lettin me come wit ya Yug I gotta go!" he said hurriedly before running out of the game shop.

*Fuck why did I sleep so long!* Jou yelled mentally all the way to his apartment. He ran up the two flights of stairs as fast a possible with his new limp and opened the door hoping against hope that his father wasn't home. Almost before he could yell we he thrown up against the wall."Your late ya little bastard." his father yelled drunkenly.

"I'm sorry pop I feel asleep." Jou whispered out as best he could with his father's hand wrapped around his neck.

"I'll teach ya not ta be late." his father said with a sickening grin.

He slammed Jou's head back against the wall and Jou saw stars. He the drew back his fist and drive it into Jou's nose causing it to spurt bright red blood. He then threw Jou down to the floor and Jou did his best to crawl away. His father apparently didn't like this because he quickly turned and kicked Jou in the ribs. Jou was sure he had heard one crack, but he was in to much pain already to be sure. After two more kicks Jou began to spit up blood. He knew that it wasn't a good thing and tied his best to protect his chest.

This seemed to give his father other ideas. Jou suddenly became aware of the tugging on his pants and tried to kick his father away. This annoyed the drunken man and he gave Jou another swift punch to the stomach causing Jou to nearly pass out. His father then proceeded to yank his pants down to his knees and flip him over. Again Jou tired to crawl away but he simply couldn't. He then heard his father undo his own pants. It wasn't until his father slammed into him that he left a heart wrenching scream. Jou passed out well before his father finished. His father didn't even pull out before he to passed out though he merely passed out from being drunk.

Across the hall Jou's neighbor had heard the boy scream and quickly dialed the number that had been left with her."Kaiba Corp. This is the secretary of Seto Kaiba." a cheery woman answered. The little old woman looked down at the number in her hands again almost sure she had dialed the wrong number.

"I was told to call this number concerning Katsuya Jounouchi." she said softly.

"One moment please." The cheery woman's voice left to be placed by a advertisement for Dueling Disks.

Seto was busy typing away when the intercom buzzed letting him know he was wanted. He looked down at it annoyed before pressing the button.

"I thought I said I wasn't to be disturbed." he said sounding rather annoyed.

"I know sir but some old woman is calling she said she was told to call about Katsuya Jounouchi. Should I tell her your busy?" Seto looked surprised.

"NO! Put her through now!" He the heard the voice of the little old woman.

"Hello? Mr.Kaiba?" the old woman asked. Seto could tell by the sound of her voice that she was worried.

"Yes this is Seto Kaiba. Has something happened to Jou?" He asked cutting right to the chase.

"Oh Mr.Kaiba it was horrible. All I could hear was the sound of his father screaming and the minutes later I heard little Jou let out this horrible scream!" she said getting rather frantic.

"Please stay calm I'm on my way there now." And with that he hung up the phone and headed out of his office.

He ran though the building and didn't stop until he reached his car. His driver looked alarm at the look on his face but after Seto told him where to go he simply nodded and started driving. He arrived at Jou's quickly and jumped out of the car. He ran into the building and up the two flights of stairs with lightening speed. He found the little old woman in the hall crying. Seto went to her quickly."Ma'am what's wrong?" he asked she said nothing she simply pointed at Jou's now open door.

Seto looked in to see Jou lying on the floor broken, bruised, bleeding, and still attached to his disgusting excuse for a father. Seto went into the room and pushed Jou's father away while pulling Jou closer to himself. He looked back over to the woman."Please go and call the police." he said. The woman nodded and went back into her apartment.

Seto smoothed Jou's hair down and kissed the boys forehead. *God damnit why the hell didn't he say anything? Why didn't he tell anyone?* he thought to himself while looking down at Jou's face."What the fuck were you thinking Jou?" he asked softly knowing the other boy couldn't hear him. He was then startled by Jou suddenly moving. Jou's eyes sprung open.

I'm not the one who broke you I'm not the one you should fear We got to move you darling

Jou looked up at Seto with nothing but fear in his eyes. He tried to move away from him but Seto just held him tighter. Jou then looked and noticed that his father was away from him and settled down slightly. It was as if he hadn't even noticed who Seto was. Jou went to speak but nothing would come out of his mouth. Seto noticed the failed attempt and looked at Jou."The police are on their way." he said softly. Jou nodded and closed his eyes again. Once he was sure Jou was asleep Seto's kissed the boys forehead again.

Soon enough police and medical workers were all over Jou's apartment. The police taking Jou's father away and the medical team taking Jou to the hospital. Seto rode in the ambulance with Jou and called Yugi and the others on the way there. After an hour Seto could no longer stand the wait and went outside he was soon followed by Yami and Bakura. Once outside the three each lit up cigarettes and Yami and Bakura exchanged knowing looks. Seto was a mess."You know Kaiba you really should consider telling Jou how you feel." Yami said thoughtfully. Seto glared at the former Pharaoh.

"Don't look at him like that High Priest he had a point." Bakura said before taking a long drag from his cigarette. Soon Yugi bounded outside.

"Seto they want to talk with you." Yugi said. Seto nodded and went to put out his unfinished cigarette but it was grabbed by Yugi who began puffing away on it in obvious need of nicotine.

Seto walked into the lobby again and was met by a doctor. The doctor looked down on his chart and then back up at Seto.

"Mr. Kaiba we do not normally leave our patients in the care of non family member but I think in this case we can make an exception." Seto nodded

"How is he?" Seto asked not really caring about anything else at the moment. The doctor looked down at his chart again.

"Well seems he's had a rather bumpy night last night." Seto looked confused and then looked down at his watch sure enough it was four a.m. "We uncovered some rather disturbing things. Katsuya Jounouchi has sustained a sprained wrist, three cracked ribs, massive bruising on at least 50% of his body, a mild concussion, and the most disturbing bit is we estimate that he's been raped at least five times." The doctor looked down his glasses at Seto.

*His father did that to him five times?! Never again no one will ever lay a hand on him again!* Seto vowed mentally. The doctor explained to the group Jou was in ICU and that the could go and see him one at a time. The group then decided who would go first. Yugi was going to go in but he was only gone for a minute not being able to stand the sight of his friend hooked up to all sorts of machines. Yami went in but stayed only for a moment vowing revenge on Jou's father and promising he would do his best to make sure nothing ever happened to Jou again. Bakura's visit went about the same as Yami's except he vowed to cut out Jou's father's liver and feed it to a dog. Ryou like Yugi couldn't go in to see his friend like that. No on could manage to find Honda nor could anyone find Anzu or Mai.

Seto was the last to go in. He looked down at the blonde on the bed and frowned. He brushed some hair away from Jou's face and began to speak softly."I'm sorry puppy I should have been able to help you more. I can't do much for you now except help you heal." he said before kissing Jou lightly on the cheek.

I thought I lost you somewhere But you were never really ever there at all

Seto looked down to see that Jou's eyes were now open but they weren't the normal shining eyes he had become use too. They were now dull and angry. He realized that the Jou that everyone knew had been gone for sometime. Seto was now determined to find the old Jou. Suddenly Jou looked at Seto and smiled slightly. Seto was taken aback by the smile."Thanks Kaiba." Jou said before shutting his eye again and falling back to sleep. Seto turned and headed out of the room and towards the doctor.

"When will he be able to go home?" he said the older man. The doctor thought for a moment before answering.

"Well if his condition stays stable all night then I see no reason why he won't be able to go home tomorrow." Seto nodded and headed out of the hospital being the last one of the group to leave.
