Run Away Puppy
Chapter Five: The Hunt Is On
Mokuba stirred as his body began to awaken then suddenly, a loud crash of thunder woke up him right up. The young Kaiba sat up straight from the bed; it was still pitch black, what time was it? Mokuba looked over to the alarm clock on his brother's nightstand, it was 7:30 in the morning! Mokuba went to wake his brother but found he had gone already, though Joey still slept soundly. Mokuba yawned then went to find his brother.
Mokuba walked over to the staircase railing and looked over it. There sat Seto in his comfy chair next to the couch. He was watching TV and drinking his early morning coffee, `or was it?' Mokuba thought to himself while sniffing the air.
Mokuba made his way down the stairs and over to his brother. “Good morning Kido.” Seto said to his baby brother as the boy crawled into his lap and cuddled up to him. Seto kissed the top of his brother's head and brought him closer by wrapping his right arm around the small form.
Mokuba sniffed the air that hung around his brother and spoke, “Seto are you drinking coffee?” The older Kaiba shook his head, “Nope, hot chocolate.” Immediately, Mokuba's eyes lit up and Seto smiled. Not really wanting to get up, Seto handed his brother his mug filled with hot chocolate. The boy happily took it and sipped on it. Mokuba looked up to his brother and smiled. “Mmmmmmmmmm.” The boy said. Seto smiled then sat the mug on the table to the right of the chair. Mokuba then pulled the blanket he had brought with him over himself and his brother. Mokuba nuzzled into his brother's chest and closed his eyes. “Yes little one, get a bit more sleep.” Seto said softly. Mokuba fell to sleep as Kaiba watched the news. As the weather report came on a flash of lightning came and knocked out all the power. “Great.” Seto sighed. He adjusted his eyes to the darkness and listened as the rain hit the roof of his house. He sighed again then cuddled closer to his sleeping brother then closed his own eyes.
“Wow Yami, look at all that rain.” Yugi said starring out his bedroom window. “Yes, the rain may become dangerous but I have a felling something isn't right.” Yami said seriously. Yugi turned to his spirit. “What do you mean Yami?” The littler figure said while walking up to his other half. “Just something isn't sitting right with me.” Yami said while sitting down on the edge of the bed. “Is it something bad?” Yugi asked while sitting next to the larger figure. Yami nodded, “Afraid so little one.” Yugi latched on to Yami's waist, “Nothing bad will happen to us, not when we've got each other.” Yami smiled at his smaller and then kissed his delicate lips.
Suddenly, a noise broke their intimate moment and Yami went on the defense. “Yami?” Yugi said a little frightened. “Ssssh.” Yami hushed as they walked toward the hallway. The two figures were ready to exit the room when Tristan and Tea appeared.
The group had moved to the kitchen of the Game Shop and sat around the table.
“So, just some random guy came up to your front doors and pushed their way in?” Yugi asked confirming what his friends had told him. Tea and Tristan nodded their heads. “Yeah, then they demanded to know where Joey was.” Tea added. Tristan sighed, “I wonder what kind of trouble Joey got himself into this time?”
“He couldn't have done much seeing as he was badly injured the last time I saw him.” Yugi explained. Tristan was so surprised about what his friend just said, that his eyes nearly fell out of his head. “What? Joey was injured?” Tristan yelled. Yugi nodded. “Why didn't you tell us? What happened, where is he?” Tea cried.
“Well it would be better if we didn't discuss his whereabouts since he's being hunted.” Yami explained. Yugi nodded in agreement. “Well, I suppose you're right.” Tristan finally said. “But don't worry, he's doing just fine, he's in caring hands.” Yugi assured his worried friends. Suddenly, the friends were interrupted by some forceful knocks on the front door. The group looked at each other. Yami turned off the kitchen light and the group carefully checked who was at the door.
“Hey its those goons.” Tristan whispered. Yugi looked at them closely. “So I guess that means we don't answer…” Yugi was cut off by the men breaking the door down.
“RUN!!!” Tea cried while making her way out the back door. Tristan and Yami did the same but turned when they heard Yugi cry for help.
“Well, well, ain't it Yugi Muto. Tell me, where's your buddy Joey Wheeler?” Vice said while lifting the boy by his shirt collar. “Put me down you creep!!!” Yugi yelled while struggling. Yami was outraged that the man had enough nerve to treat his beloved as such.
“You heard him!!! Put him down or suffer the consequences!!!” Yami threatened. They men looked over to the pharaoh. “And what if I don't, what'll you do then?” Vince asked, risking his very mortality. Yami felt his blood become aflame, “Don't tempt me!!!” He warned. Vince smirked then pushed Yugi into a wall, slamming the boy's head and making him whimper. “I told you not to tempt me, now suffer!!!! MIND CRUSH!!!!” Yami yelled as he held up his right hand to the men that were harming his beloved. The men had no time to flee before their minds were shut down. Little Yugi fell from the Vice's grip to the floor and Yami ran to his little one.
“Yugi, are you alright?” The pharaoh asked while checking the boy for injuries. “Yes Yami, I'm okay, my head just hurts a little.” The pharaoh took the boy into a loving embrace. Tristan kneeled down next to the fallen men. “So…what do we do with these guys?” Yami stood up and helped his littler form to his feet. “We bind them and when they wake, we ask them what it is they want with Joey.”
An hour later, Kaiba awoke to the sound of whimpering, it wasn't Mokuba. Kaiba carefully moved out from underneath his slumbering little brother and made his way up the staircase then into his bedroom. Kaiba heard Joey whimper again and watched as the pup jerked his head to the left. Kaiba assumed that he was having the same nightmare again and so he woke him. Joey's eyes fluttered open and he smiled at his master after yawning.
“Same nightmare pup?”
“No it was worse!” Joey cried while latching himself around Kaiba's waist. Seto stroked the blonde's hair, “What happened?”
“Well…the gang threw a birthday party for Yugi…and…I was late…and…THERE WAS NO MORE PIZZA!!!” Seto felt pretty silly, he rolled his blue eyes then flicked Joey's ear. “Bad dog!”
“Owwww.” Joey howled as he rubbed his stinging left ear. Seto then smirked evilly as he got a horrible idea. He leaned in to his pup's ear and began to kiss and lick at the flesh. Joey began to melt at his mater's actions: kissing and nipping at his `injured' left ear. The pup then shivered as Kaiba breathed warm air on his neck. Seto then began to gently kiss the blonde's neck, that wasn't already covered by the collar, Joey moaned softly then tangled his fingers in silky chocolate brown hair. Kaiba loved that feeling; the feeling of fingers massaging his head, so to treat his puppy, he traveled downward to Joey's collarbone, licking and kissing the tender flesh.
“S…ssssss…. Se…. Seto…. ah…please…. take me now!!!” Joey cried in a half whisper half moan. Kaiba stopped and looked at his puppy with sorrow filled eyes. “Wha…what's wrong Seto?” Joey asked breathing heavily. The brunette shook his head, “Don't think so pup, doctor's orders.” Joey growled then flopped back down on the mattress and whimpered. “Please Seto!!!” Joey begged. Kaiba touched Joey's healing wound and watched as his puppy winced in pain.
“See, your leg still hurts and I'm not here to put you in any more pain then you already are.” Kaiba said touching his puppy's face. “But…but Seto.”
“Hush pup, when you're better, I promise.” Kaiba said as he kissed the blonde's forehead.
AN HOUR LATER…
“Hmmm…it seems Joey's stalkers are coming to.” Yami said as the men groggily opened their eyes. “Hu…? What the? Untie us at once you little brats!!!” Vince yelled. Yami kneeled next to Vince, “First, you tell us why you're after Joey and maybe we'll consider letting you go…but…”
“That's none of your business!!!”
“Oh, but that's where you are wrong, Joey is our friend and we have a right to know. Why do you seek him?”
“Again…that…is none of your concern.”
Yami sighed then stood up. “It's your choice, you can either tell us why you're after Joey or we can call the cops and have them arrest you for breaking and entering…actually Yugi, why don't you do that.” The pharaoh said to his littler half. Yugi nodded and turned around but before he could even reach the phone, he heard Tea scream and a gunshot. Yugi quickly turned around and saw that Yami had been shot and their prisoners had got a way.
“YAMI!!!” Yugi cried as he fell to the aid of his taller half. “Yami, are you alright?” The figure lifted himself slowly and held his right shoulder; blood had already begun to stain the pharaoh's hand. “We have to get you to a hospital.” The boy said as he helped his bigger half to his feet.
“Wait, we all can't go, someone needs to stay with the shop.” Tristan said. As soon as the group was about to make a plan the police showed up. “A neighbor must have called in the shooting.” Yugi said. The police got down to business and questioned the group about what had happened and quickly sent Yami, with Yugi (of course), to the hospital. Tea and Tristan stayed behind and explained what had happened at the shop then what happened at their own homes. After the questioning, Tea and Tristan gave a description of the men that attacked them.
“What was their motivation for the attacks? Did they say why they were doing these things?” A policeman asked. Tea and Tristan looked at each other, they didn't want to say anything about Joey, but this was serious, what to do?
“Sir? Ma'am?”
“Uh…I'm not sure if saying anything would be the safest thing to do.” Tea said. “Ma'am, you need to tell me everything you know so we can catch these guys.” Tea sighed. “Well, it would be in Joey's best interest.” Tristan said. “Joey? Who's Joey?” The man asked. Tristan sighed and began. “Joey is a friend of ours that the guys were after, we don't know why either.”
“Do you know where Joey is?”
“No Sir, but the little one that went to the hospital does.”
The policeman began to look through his notes and realized he had a missing report on a Joey. “Would this Joey happen to be a Joseph Wheeler?” Tristan nodded. “But…how did you know?”
“His Dad came by last night and reported him missing, says he ran away from home. Are you sure you couldn't give me any clues about where to look?”
“Well…no…he wouldn't be there.” Tea said. “What is it Ma'am? What did you have in mind?”
“I was going to suggest Seto Kaiba's house but those two can hardly get along let alone be under the same roof for long amounts of time.” Apparently Tea was the only person that hadn't quite caught on to Joey and Kaiba's seven-month-old relationship. The policeman wrote that down quickly in his notes then dismissed the two teens.
“Alright, we have a possible lead on a missing sixteen year old and I'm gonna go check it out.” The officer said to a fellow cop. He seated himself in his car and drove off in the direction of the Kaiba Mansion (come on, everyone knows where Kaiba lives!!!).
