Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Love and Pain ❯ JOEY! what's wrong? ( Chapter 15 )

Um thanks to all my reviewers, no Kaiba is not the father of Tea’s baby as at least five of you believe. She only spent one night in the same house as him and it certainly wasn’t in the same room or bed. I should probably bring Marik into this story somehow. I’ll think of a way later. Oh wait, I have an idea, Marik fan girls, leave now if- no wait I’ll use Y/M.

I don’t want to say this, but I really AM the creator of Yugi oh! No really! I also sell rowboats on the moon!

(Hopefully you lawyers can tell that I am being sarcastic. If not, line up on the rockets! Get yourselves up there! Today’s a special day! Half price except those that would actually work in less gravity!)

Maybe spoiler alert. Only if you don’t know it already is it actually a spoiler

CHAPTER 15 OR 16 I DON’T KNOW WHICH

With all the sunshine and happy atmosphere all around. It was almost impossible to resist smiling with the other, happy smiling people. Geez, the shining rooftops and the clean yards and the children playing in the street (whatever happened to those good old days huh?) you would think that you would just smile and , I dunno, BASK in the merriment that surrounded you. But when I say almost, I mean that there is a chance that just might not happen. There were two people racing down the street just now, a bit too desperate to really take in the scenery. Not that the transparent one would of cared. Not anymore. ‘there might of been a time when I would of just smiled in pure happiness’ mused Y/B as he followed Bakura ‘But that time was left in the ashes of my village, thanks to the pharaoh’s father. I will get my revenge’ is jaw tightened as he remembered. (geez, Y/B taking out revenge on someone for what their father had done is just a bit harsh don’t you think? anyway it wasn’t Yami’s father it was...... Um hang on, I have said WAY too much already and we need to move on) Y/B stopped, and started trying to kick the closest trashcan. His foot kept going through the lid, so this of course, made him angrier and more determined to topple that trashcan. Bakura came jogging back to him, exhausted with all the searching.

\ what’s up Y/B?\ he spoke through their mental bond.

Y/B paused in mid swing, and put his foot down /That lying son of a b@#%h gave us a dead end ! he said Kaiba’s house was down here! number 37! but I can only see the numbers going up to number 36! When I go back to that guy’s house I will make sure that he will spend eternity in his own personal hell!/ with this last comment he turned away from Bakura and stared down the street very hard, as if he could make Kaiba’s mansion appear by sheer will. To Bakura, it was if Y/B felt like he was going to lose his oldest and once closest friend again (well you can’t get any closer than actually sharing a body with someone) and that’s exactly what he felt . Bakura himself was wallowing in despair. \ she has been a friend to us both, hasn’t she?\ this was softly thought \After all, Tea was the only one besides Yugi who would fully forgive us after what we had done\ Bakura turned and sat on a conveniently placed bench (courtesy of yours truly) and then he sighed. Y/B came and sat down next to him (though how he can do that and not be able to kick trashcans is beyond me, maybe coz his hikari was doing it too?) Y/B looked over at his aibou and actually said this: /well sure they’d forgive YOU, it was all my fault/.

\Don’t say that, they forgive you too!\

Y/B snorted / yeah right, and the pharaoh is going to invite me over for a tea party/.

\ wow, really? is that why your eyes were glinting when he said the was going to prepare a herbal drink for Solomon?\

/NO!!!/ Y/B jumped up, his face a fascinating mix of red and white /I was wondering if I could sneak up and tip it on him! And anyway, can’t you tell when I am being sarcastic!?/

\Well geez yeah, I had to say SOMETHING to stop you from moping around! We have to tell Yugi what we found out!\ Bakura jumped up.

Y/B considered this for a long moment. / No/ he said finally.

\But Y/B! we need some help!\

/ Both of them will immediately start blaming themselves and charge in, do something stupid, and Tea and Kaiba could get hurt or something/

\ How the heck will THAT happen?\

/ I dunno, but with those two, it could happen. That pharaoh will be too stubborn and start yelling at Kaiba about his past, and Kaiba won’t listen to him, he wants to bury it. That could only end in tragedy/

\ Ok, maybe you are right about that. So, Mr brainiac, where do YOU think we should go?\

/ I suggest we go see Joey/ Bakura was instantly curious, because Y/B didn’t like Joey much neither.

\Why Joey? you and he ain’t exactly buddies either\ nether less, Bakura started to walk towards the school.

/ Joey will know where Kaiba lives, you see Bakura, there’s this rule: always find out where the people you dislike live. That way, you could devise a strategy of revenge/

\ Ok, that explains alot. Well, Joey should be out of school by the time we get there I hope this will be all over soon, or else I will never walk again. I reckon I have done enough exercise for the next couple of decades or so\.

/ But aibou, by the time you reckon you better start walking again, you will be counting all your wrinkles and not be able to get up!/

\ Oh geez, and you say I can’t tell when you say things you don’t mean!\

##### A BIT EARLIER IN THE DAY

Joey was mentally beating himself up all day. ‘How the HECK would I know what Yuge and Yami were talking bout ?’ he kept asking himself over and over again. He wasn’t paying much attention to his teacher. Yugi and Tristan kept looking at him. They could tell something was going on and maybe it had something to do with these disappearances. Joey wasn’t thinking about that at all, but worry for his friends (NOT Kaiba!) hanging around the dark corners of his mind. ‘I don’t understand how this could happen, NO ONE can usually see Yami except Yuge and we only see him when they trade places, what is going on here?’ large beads of sweat started to pour down his forehead. Joey was stressing himself out, big time, but he just couldn’t stop. Something was pulling his chest so he couldn’t quite breathe, and he just didn’t feel quite right. ‘ Hang on’ he realized. ‘ This isn’t anxiety, something’s wrong with me!’

#####

Someone stood outside the classroom. ( From what was written in the last paragraph, I’m sure you could guess who it is. For those who have forgotten, here he is!) With his hands upon the glass, chanting words long forgotten by most in the world and hatred glowing from his eyes, Gishiro poured more pain into the figure sitting at the desk. ‘ I was hoping to take down the pharaoh, but since his magical resources are so strong, I will just have to take down this one instead. Anyway, I saw how strongly this boy reacted to the mere mention of Kaiba, they might be enemies. And there’s that rule: always find out where the people you dislike live. I would hate for those fools to find that girl so I guess it’s time for me to start my killing sprees again‘.

#####

Joey was fighting a big battle just to breathe. The poison spell (is that what I should call it?) slowly wound itself in his body. The treacherous venom slowed his heartbeats, shallowed his breathing and blurred his vision. Joey slumped onto his desk. ‘ Can’t believe this is how I would die’ was his last hazy thought ‘I always thought it would be a monkey drowning me in vanilla pudding’.

#####

/YUGI!/ The normally calm pharaoh was rattled big time. The voice nearly made Yugi jump high off his seat ( well high for him anyway) . His class noticed. “ Mr Mouto, is something wrong?” asked Mr Driver, who was teaching History (My teacher! he’s so cool!). “Um, no nothing is wrong” stammered Yugi. \What did you do that for!\ Yugi growled at Yami mentally

/ Forget that! something dark is poisoning Joey!/

Startled again, Yugi turned to Joey, who was unconscious and turning the colour of Bakura’s hair. Yugi jumped up “JOEY!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. The class turned to look at the teen. “ Mr Taylor, run for the office and tell them to get an ambulance, Mr Devlin, help me get him to there! They won‘t be able to get through the halls!” Mr Driver shouted. He could tell how serious this actually was. Duke nodded and they made a chair for Joey (Don’t actually try this. Consult you first aid book people!) And with Yugi following, they quickly walked to the office. The nurse came out of her room and gasped. She hadn’t seen anything so serious in her career. “Lie him there!” she directed and they set him on the chairs. You know, those ones that are stuck together?. She took his temperature, which turned out to be 41 degrees Celsius. (DON’T ask me how much that is in fare height!) “He has got a bit of a fever! how could he get so sick so fast!” She turned to Mr Driver. “I don’t know, he seemed ok a few minutes ago, just a bit thoughtful. I should’ve realized something was wrong then!”. (Oh come ON! he ain’t that bad in class is he?). Yugi and Tristan and Duke looked at each other confused. Too much seemed to be happening at once, though Duke didn’t know exactly what was going on. The others didn’t know much more than he did, so they filled him in on what they could while they waited, and while the nurse tried to CPR Joey. None of them could bear to see their friend struck down like that, and it hurt them greatly. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the ambulance arrived, and the paramedics loaded him into the vehicle. Then one took a look at Yugi.

“You're his friend aren't you? I recognize you both from those Battle city duels”. When Yugi slowly nodded, He exclaimed “ I knew it! geez I seem to be running into famous faces this week! Why just last night I was taking Seto Kaiba’s younger brother in!”. In response to this there was a “WHAT!!!!” from all three (well four, but they can’t hear Yami) “What happened to Mokubah?” Yugi asked them, trying to control the sick feeling welling up in his stomach. “He fell down quite a number of stairs, and struck his head quite hard”. The paramedic said, conveniently forgetting about patient confidentiality.

“Can we come in with our friend?”. Asked Tristan urgently.

“Aren’t you guys supposed to be in school? you can only leave with the permission of your parents or if you are sick or for a special case” The medic replied pointedly.

“They can go, this IS a special case. They have my permission.” Came the voice of Mr Driver. “Just make sure you guys ring your parents once you get there”.

“Thanks Mr Driver! I totally withdraw all those things I ever said behind your back!”. Tristan yelled as he and the others climbed into the back of the ambulance.

And then they took off, with the sirens blaring and another medic taking up the nurses efforts to revive Joey.

#####

Gishiro watched them go. ‘Damn, that boy has passed out of my range, It had better be enough to kill him’.

He calmly walked out of the gates just ten minutes before the end of school bell rang.

Hmm. Getting more interesting. OK you people have to review. And the sequel too!. I need someone to tell me if I should carry on with it or not. thank you and see you next time
