Chapter 9

 

Joey whimpers slightly looking down at the clear broken glass on the floor, Grandpa jumps slightly, he sees Joey shaking. “Joey everything's ok. It was an accident, you didn't mean for it to happen.” Yugi says placing his hand on his shoulder.

 

Joey shakes his head slightly closing his eyes to stop the tears that begin to build up in his eyes. Yugi looks at Joey wondering why he's acting this way. He knows that Joey's father has put him through so much. The only thing Yugi doesn't know is that Joey's father's also a drunk. The only reason why Joey has to stay with his father.

 

Joey curls up on the bed to the best of his ability seeing as to how he's still connected to the feeding tube. He mumbles a few things to himself which sounds like `I want to go home.. please just let me go home.' Grandpa looks at him with a small touch of sadness in his eyes.

 

A doctor walks into the room and asks to talk to Solomon out in the hallway for a minute. Solomon nods his head and stands. Before he walks out of the room he tells Yugi to keep an eye on Joey. Yugi nods his head looking down at Joey. `He looks so helpless laying on he bed like this. I wish there was something I could do to help him out.'

 

Out in the hallway the doctor asks “Do you know how he got to be this way.” Solomon nods his head and says “Yes, but I'm not sure I'm the one who should tell you, but knowing him he won't want to tell.” The doctor nods his head and looks through the window that on the door. “He needs to tell someone so this doesn't happen again.”

 

Solomon nods his head. “I don't believe this will happen again.” The doctor looks at him curiously. “I'm going to try and get custody over him so he won't have to go through this again.” The information that Solomon just said doesn't seem to click with the doctor that the person who caused all this to Joey just happens to be Joey's guardian. His father.

 

“The other thing that I need to tell you is that visiting hours are over. You're going to need to leave.” He says looking over to the clock. “He's going to have to stay over night but tomorrow morning he can go home but I don't want him to go to school till the next day. Understood.” Solomon nods his head as he slips into the room quietly.

 

He walks over to Yugi and places his hand on his shoulder. Yugi looks up at his Grandpa and sees a strange look in his eye. “Grandpa whats wrong?” Yugi asks curiously. “We have to go Yugi visiting hours are over.” “But Grandpa we can't leave him here not like this he's going to want somebody here with him.” “I know Yugi, he has to stay over night just to make sure that nothing tears. None of the stitches. I'll come over to pick him up tomorrow I promise.” Yugi looks over at Joey and looks at the ground sadly. `I just don't want anything to happen to him.' Yugi thinks to himself as he stands and says a quick goodbye to Joey before he walks out of the room.

 

Grandpa looks down at Joey and says his goodbye before he himself walks out of the room.

 

The Next Day

 

Grandpa wakes up to hearing the phone ring. He answers it groggily. “Hello Mouto residence Solomon speaking how can I help you?” He hears silence for a few moments before “Um... Yes. Are you the person who's supposed to come and pick up Mr. Joseph Wheeler?” Even though they can't see him he nods his head and says “Yes I am.” “Well when do you plan on coming to pick him up he's getting a little anxious, and it's getting hard to control him.” “I can come over right now if you need me to.” “Yes please do we'll see you in a few moments?” “Yes I'll be there soon bye.”

 

Solomon gets up and does the normal things. Takes a brief shower, combs his unruly hair, brushes his teeth, and finally puts some clean clothes on. He goes to wake Yugi up and tells him to get up and get ready for school. Yugi yawns and nods his head getting up slowly. Grandpa tells Yugi that he's going to the hospital to bring Joey home and he doesn't know if he'll be home before he leaves for school or not.

 

Yugi gives his Grandpa a hug before telling him goodbye. After hearing a car start that they rarely ever use start and leave. Yugi gets up and walks into the bathroom to get ready for school.

 

At the Kaiba Mansion

 

Seto sits on his bed his head on one of his hands. He runs his other hand through his hair. He looks over at the clock. 3:40 A.M. He sighs, “Doesn't seem like I'm going to get anymore sleep tonight might as well get up and do some work.” He kicks the covers off of himself and walks over to his closet in just a plain pair of navy blue boxers. He grabs a robe out of his closet and walks over to his laptop that sits on his desk. He opens it and turns it on.

 

He waits for his laptop to load as he closes his eyes thinking about what has kept him awake the past hour. He sighs slightly hearing a familiar voice outside his door. He stands and walks over to his door and opens. He looks down at Mokuba and kneels to his eyes level.

 

He sees that Mokuba has a tear stains going down his face. Seto's expression changes to something softer. “Mokuba what's wrong?” Seto asks looking at the sad expression on his little brother's face. “Big brother I had a bad nightmare.” Seto looks at Mokuba “Do you want to tell your big brother all about it.” Mokuba nods his head slightly. Seto reaches out to Mokuba and picks him up carrying him over to his bed.

 

After reaching his bed Seto places Mokuba down upon it. Mokuba looks at Seto looking like he's about ready to cry again. Seto sits down next to his brother, “Ok Mokuba how about you tell big brother all about it.” Mokuba sniffs before he says. “Seto, it was so scary. Gozoburo was in it, he was still alive and running the company.” Seto looks at Mokuba wondering what all he could've seen. We were in your room like we always used to do. We were playing a game of chess like old times when he suddenly charged into your room and picked me up.”

 

Seto growls his eyes narrowing thinking `I'll dig up his dead body and I'll kill him again.' Mokuba continues, “He hit me big brother.” `He's haunting my little brothers nightmares, his bodies going to be dug up for sure now.' Seto thinks looking at his little brother. He wraps his arms around Mokuba, “It's ok it was only a dream he can't hurt you I promise.” Mokuba nods his head leaning into his big brothers embrace. “Ok big brother.” Seto looks at Mokuba and tells him “Close your eyes Mokuba and go to sleep. We have school tomorrow.”

 

Mokuba closes his eyes continuing to lean against his big brother. His thoughts drift to everything that's happened. His thoughts eventually put him to sleep.

 

Seto looks at his sleeping brother and smiles lightly. `He's so innocent nobody should ever have to go through what he has. It's just not fair to him. I try and give him the most normal life possible. But with me owning this company and that making him famous as well. It just gets so hard for him to live normally.' Seto thinks.

 

Seto's sitting at his laptop typing as quickly and quietly as he possibly can trying not to wake his little brother from his slumber. Seto looks at the clock in the corner of his computer. It now reads 4:45. Fifteen more minutes he says to himself quietly. That's all the time I have before I have to start getting ready for school. He looks over to the bed and sees Mokuba sleeping peacefully.

 

He sighs wondering what he could do to possibly make his little brother happy. A thought popped into his mind. `I'll take him to an amusement park, or maybe the zoo. He'll like that.' Seto nods and clicks on his laptop for a minute to bring up his schedule. He reads it a few times and finds an empty date. He types in `Go to zoo or amusement park with Mokuba.'

 

Seto knows that, that will make Mokuba all the happier. `Maybe this will help Mokuba's thoughts to stop lingering on my past as well as his own.' Seto stands and stretches slowly and retreats to his bathroom. He shuts the door quietly and turns the lights on. He looks around the bathroom and walks in front of the mirror looking at himself. He sees a hollow person looking back at him. He sighs, `I'll never be the person I used to be. The only thing I can do is try.' Seto thinks sliding the robe off his body.

 

Turning to look in the mirror again he sees all the scars that adorn his body. He winces slightly seeing one particularly long one that runs along the front of his chest. `I remember that one. I got that the day before Gozoburo fell out a window. His eyes narrow slightly looking at his reflection. Growling he slides his navy blue silk boxers off his body and throws them in the clothes hamper. He then turns the shower on turning to the section that says hot. He waits a couple of minutes. He refuses to turn around and look into the mirror again.

 

The water finally gets warm he steps inside and lets the warm water run down his body. He relaxes slightly as he looks up thinking. He looks down slightly and turns around letting the water dampen his hair. He grabs for the bottle of shampoo and pours some onto his hair. He rubs it into his scalp and the rinses. He does the same with the conditioner.

 

After he's done he steps out of the shower and shakes his head. The water flies from his hair. He reaches and grabs a towel and wraps it around his lower body. He grabs another towel and dries his hair off quickly. Sighing he walks out of the bathroom into his bedroom and over to his closet. He pulls out the required school uniform and his normal trench coat. He sets them gently on his dresser and opens it grabbing another pair of boxers that he can wear.

 

He lets the towel drop to the floor as he slides his boxers on. He then pulls the navy blue pants required that they wear. Then he pulls a white shirt on and finishes his outfit with his navy blue trench coat. Sighing he walks over to the mirror and looks at himself. He grabs a comb that he has setting beside the mirror and fixes his hair. He looks at the clock. It now reads 5:30. `I should probably go downstairs and ask the cook to get breakfast on the table before Mokuba wakes up.' He thinks to himself as he walks out of the room.

 

Seto looks back in at Mokuba. He sees him curled up into a ball sleeping. Seto smiles to himself and closes the door behind him quietly. He walks out down the stairs quietly. After he reaches the bottom of the stairs he walks towards the kitchen. Seeing the cook already working on breakfast he decides to sit down in one of the chairs and relax for a bit before he goes to wake Mokuba up.

 

The cook taps him on the shoulder and asks if he would like some breakfast now. He looks at the clock and sees the time. 6:10. looking up at the cook he says “Yes set two plates on the table I'm going to go wake up Mokuba now.” The cook nods her head and goes to fetch another plate for master Mokuba.

 

Seto walks up the stairs and into his room. He sits on the bed next to Mokuba and shakes him lightly. “Little brother it's time to get up and get ready for school.” Mokuba's eyes groggily begin to open. Mokuba looks up at Seto and then over to Seto's clock on the wall. Mokuba sits up slowly and slides out of Seto's bed, “Good morning big brother.” Mokuba says hugging him lightly. “Get moving Mokuba breakfast is on the table. I'll be down in one minute alright.”

 

Mokuba nods his head as he walks down the stairs slowly. Seto looks at his brothers retreating form. Seto sighs slightly standing. He slowly walks out of his room and down the stairs to the dining area. He sees Mokuba sitting in his usual seat. Seto smirks slightly and walks to his normal seat sitting down. He picks up his fork and slowly starts to eat the breakfast that the cook has made for him.

 

After him and Mokuba finished their breakfast they both walk up the stairs towards there rooms. Seto walks into his room and sits on his bed. He's already for school the only thing left to do is grab his briefcase and slip his shoes on and their out the door for school. His head is resting on his hands. He himself doesn't even know if he's going to make it through the full day of school. He closes his eyes thinking.

 

`This has all happened to fast. My little brother now knows some of my secrets. Could he accidentally let them slip during school? I doubt it. My little brother respects my privacy. But he does get picked on quite often. You never know what those bullies could do to him that could cause him to say something he shouldn't.'
