"Get away from me," Kaiba said, his back against the wall, a sense of dread filling his body.

"Just relax, It'll be over before you know it," the man slurred.

"Pervert," Kaiba whispered, his lip curling in distain.

"What'd you call me?" Kaiba didn't reply. "Whatever." The man reached out and took a hold of Kaiba's chin, forcing the boy to look at him. Two chips of ice, dancing with fire, glowered into glazed hazel ones. "You're pretty," the man said, stroking Kaiba.

Kaiba's body froze; NO ONE was allowed to touch him like this!! Fury welled up in him, unquenchable flames of fury racked his insides. He grew momentarily dizzy from the powerful emotions he felt. He couldn't remember the last time he had felt like this. He was usually removed from anger, years as a highly respected CEO of a leading company, had taught him to distance himself from his emotions. They were usually detached, never stirring, it occurred to him for the first time that his life before had been so empty of everything. But of course it'd never been dangerous.

The man's knife seemed to glitter, as if reminding Kaiba of its existence. He felt himself drowning in hopelessness; he closed his eyes, wishing it to be over. Then his eyes snapped open, what was he thinking? No body touched him like this, his eyes narrowed, until they merely slits, he contemplated the situation, his passive emotions returning to him, washing out all others. The anger resided, although a tiny flicker of fire still danced in his eyes.

The man lifted his knife from his side, slitting Kaiba's shoulder, the silver blade covered in crimson. He leaned in, claiming Kaiba's lips. The foul odor of alcohol almost made Kaiba faint. Almost. He fought the darkness that wished to claim him, knowing that if he slipped into an unconscious state the man would take advantage of him.

The man let the knife go, lips still glued to Kaiba's, it fell with a clatter, Kaiba immediately rammed his knee into the man's crotch, making him double over in pain.

Kaiba grabbed the knife, and put it to the man's neck. He saw the fear in the man's eyes. He looked at Joey's body, lying there, and he didn't hesitate. His knife made a slashing motion, he watched as the life crept from the man's body. He rushed to Joey's side, gathering the boy in his arms. He ripped off his shirt, covering Joey's body with it. He realized that he had lost a lot of blood.

He grabbed the phone, and punched in the hospitals number.

"Hello," a voice asked.

"Please, come quickly."

"Hold on, while we trace your number….."

`Hold on Joey,' he begged silently.
