Chapter 3

 

Mr. Wheeler looks down at Joey smirking at his son. "Joseph i thought that I'd told you not to go to school anymore, you're not that bright and it's just a waste of my money" Joey glares at his father, "I'm goin ta go ta school no matta wat ya say." Joey then looks up as he sees his fathers hand get dreadfully close to his face. He closes his eyes cringing awaiting the blow to his face. It never arrives. He opens his eyes and looks towards his father. He sees his father being held by the back of his neck by none other than Seto Kaiba. Seto says quietly "I don't appreciate child abusers even if the person being abused is the mutt, now let go of the mutt now." Seto sees Joey's father slowly let go of his shirt as Joey falls back towards the ground catching himself before he falls completely to the ground.

 

Seto then lets go of the back of his fathers neck and tells him to get out of here. Seto looks at Joey and says "You ok, mutt." He tries not to sound to worried for Joey's welfare, but he doesn't want another person to go through what he went through. Yugi then makes himself known once again and says "Joey i told you that if something like this was to happen again that you could stay at my house for as long as you need to." Joey shrugs his shoulders at what Yugi said "Well Yug I couldn't just leave my father and have him come afta ya just ta get ta me." Seto looks at the mutt and Yugi. "Hey mutt where are you going to be staying cause I doubt you'll want to go home anytime soon." Joey glares at Seto and says "Thanks for de help Kaiba but I'll prolly stay at Yug's house for a bit if dat's ok wit ya Yug." Yugi nods his head "Yeah Joey that's perfectly alright."

 

After hearing Joey's reply Seto nods and turns walking away knowing now that he'll have to go and answer Mokuba's question. He still isn't sure how to answer without losing himself into a depressed state where nobody would be able to reach him, or to where he'll be able to remain in the consicious realm without having some sort of flashback to when he was abused by his step-father. Seto gets inside his limo and tells the driver to start towards Mokuba's school to pick him up. Seto was about to tell the driver to head towards work but today he decides against it since he knows he won't be able to think through the work day without getting frustrated at something and breaking it.

 

When the limo arrives at Mokuba's school Mokuba's just walking out of class his eyes downcast. A bunch of older kids see Mokuba and start to laugh at him. One even walks over to him and shoves him, making him fall over dropping whatever he had in his hands all over the sidewalk. Mokuba looks up at them glaring. He says "You guys are going to regret that when my big brother finds out." He suddenly hears "They all ready are going to regret it Mokuba." Seto says stepping out of the limo walking over towards his little brother. He looks down at the kids that were picking on Mokuba. "Now Mokuba how long has this been going on." Mokuba looks up at Seto and replies "For a long time big brother probably ever since I've started school here somebody's picked on me."

 

~Seto has a few flashbacks while standing there about back in the orphanage how Mokuba never really had any friends and depended on him to protect him from those mean kids. They didn't like Mokuba to be near them, and when Seto wasn't there to protect him from that type of treatment, Seto would come back to his and Mokuba's room to find Mokuba curled in a corner crying, shaking, and nursing a sometimes broken bone are a bruised area. Seto would normally become furious and go out and look for the kids that did that to Mokuba but never usually found the kids that hurt his little brother cause he'd get into trouble for harming other kids. The people in charge never believed him that the kids would harm Mokuba cause he's so kind and a sweet child to get hurt, Seto would take the punishment for other peoples idiot ideas. ~

 

Seto looks at the group of kids giving them his famous Kaiba glare, "I'd advise you all not to pick on my little brother again, cause if I hear of you guys harming him or making fun of him again I won't be so nice to any of you. I don't take to kindly to bullies." The kids shake slightly nodding their heads before saying "Yes Mr. Kaiba it'll never happen again we promise." "Good i better not hear of it happening ever again, come on Mokuba it's time to go home." Mokuba picks up his books and nods his head "Ok big brother." Seto helps Mokuba up, then they start to make their way back towards the limo. Seto gets in followed by Mokuba. Mokuba looks up at Seto and asks "Big brother how come you aren't at work yet." Seto looks down at Mokuba and replies, "Cause I wanted to spend some time with you Mokuba. Is that alright." Mokuba nods his head repeatedly, "Of course that's alright Seto."

 

They soon arrive at the Kaiba mansion. They both get out and walk towards the door. Seto reaches the door first and opens it waiting for Mokuba to reach the door before he goes in. Mokuba races up the stairs quickly to his room to drop his books before he goes runs back downstairs to get a snack. Mokuba looks at Seto standing in the doorway and asks "Big brother do you want a snack I don't know what I'm going to have yet but I'll decide something." Seto smiles at his brother and says "Sure Mokuba if you can find something you want I'll have a snack with you." Mokuba comes running over to the table with two bowels, two spoons, and an ice cream container. One of Mokuba's favorite flavors chocolate.

 

Seto watches Mokuba dish out both their bowls of ice cream. Mokuba pushes the bowl over to Seto, Seto picks up the spoon filled with ice cream and places it in his mouth. He continues to eat the ice cream with his little brother. Mokuba finishes his first and looks up at Seto wanting to ask him what caused all those scars on his back but Mokuba knows that Seto will talk to him about it when he's ready to. Seto looks at Mokuba as he finishes the last bit of ice cream. He looks at Mokuba deciding now would be the best time to talk about the incident that morning, but first he has to see if Mokuba has any homework. "Mokuba do you have any homework that needs to be done." Mokuba nods his head "Yes big brother I do." Seto nods his head. "Well start your homework and then I have to talk to you." Mokuba nods his head, "Ok big brother."

 

~*~Yugi's house~*~

 

"So Yug wat do ya want ta do?" Joey asks sitting on Yugi's bed. Yugi shrugs, "I don't know we could always play a video game or two, go to the arcade, or just hang out here and help Grandpa with the shop." Joey looks around then says, "Do ya think Gramps really wouldn't mind me stayin here wit ya two." Yugi nods his head "Grandpa always has told me that whenever one of my friends wants to come over they can, and Joey Grandpa knows from the last time what type of torture your dad has put you through." Joey looks to the ground and says quietly, "I tried ta fight him off Yug I truly did but he was stronger than meh." "Joey, how much damage did you dad actually do to you, and how long did he abuse you this time." "Well Yug, I think he mighta broken a few bones dis time, bruised me up pretty bad, and one time recently I couldn't walk straight."

 

He avoids Yugi's gaze not wanting to see what type of expression he had about him not being able to walk "and to answer you other question it's been a couple of months." Yugi places his hand on Joey's shoulder, "Joey I'll see if Grandpa can find a way so you'll never have to go back there again. Maybe Grandpa can get child services into this and get custody over you or something." He says trying to cheer him up a little. "Yug, I 'ppreciate the offer but what happens if meh dad comes after you for taking me away from him. I don't want him ta come afta you and Gramps. Cause Gramps wouldn't be able ta defend himself from danger like that." Yugi looks to the ground, "Joey Grandpa can get a restraining order, please Joey I just want to help you please lets talk to Grandpa about it and see if he can help any." Joey doesn't want to upset Yugi and decline, "Alright Yug we'll see wat Gramps has ta say bout it."

 

~*~Back to the Kaiba Mansion~*~

 

Mokuba sits at the table doing his homework, he keeps spacing wondering if Seto wants to talk to him about the scars. He looks at a math problem and isn't sure how to answer it. He then remembers Seto's home and hopefully would be able to help him with it. Mokuba decides before he asks Seto on his math homework he'd do the rest of it. He finishes the rest of his homework and walks up the stairs slowly to Seto's study thinking about what Seto will say about him not understanding his math homework. He hopes Seto will understand and just help him understand it, but he remembers how Seto has never helped with his homework, but then again Seto has never been around to help him with it. He reaches the study raising his hand knocking on the door waiting for Seto to answer.

 

Seto hears the knock at his door and says "Come in." The door opens slowly and Mokuba walks in holding a piece of paper in his hand. Seto looks at the paper and says quietly "What do you need Mokuba." "Big brother I don't understand my math homework, it doesn't make sense to me could you please help me with it." Seto looks at Mokuba and holds his hand out. Mokuba looks at Seto's hand and places his math homework in his hand. Seto looks at it and grabs a blank piece of paper and writes down a few steps for Mokuba to follow so he could do his homework. He hands Mokuba the paper and his homework paper. "See if that helps any Mokuba, if it doesn't come up here and I'll explain it in words if I can. Alright." Mokuba looks at Seto and smiles "Thank you big brother."

 

Mokuba turns to leave but gets stopped by Seto saying "Oh Mokuba." Mokuba turns around looking at his brother and says "Yes big brother." "Is the last bit of homework that you have left to do." Mokuba nods his head, "Yes Seto this is the last thing that I have left to do." "Ok Mokuba I won't bug you go and finish your homework then meet me up here in my study I want to talk to you ok." Mokuba nods his head and walks out of the room and downstairs to finish his homework.
