Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Sad Moments ❯ Chapter 13

Wow…. I haven't updated in a long time. Probably the only reason that this chapter is getting done is because Kiokukaiba and I had a challenge to see if we could complete our chapters. And she beat me. You should all go read her story Behind Blue Eyes if you haven't already. She is an amazing author. And when you get to her most recent chapter you should then read her Behind Blue Eyes: Seto's Story.. anyway I'm rambling.. On with the chapter.

Chapter 13

 

Joey continues looking in the mirror shaking his head lightly. “Man, I really do look like shit. Why did I ever let it escalate to this stage? I really must be worthless.” He leans over the sink shaking slightly. He turns the water on cupping his hands splashing water on his face. Looking back up into the mirror he shakes his head slightly the water on his face flying off drying his face instantly. He turns as he makes his way towards the door unlocking it as he turns the knob; he walks out towards the stairs. He sighs slightly as he starts descending the stairs.

 

As he walks down the stairs he hears Grandpa and Yami talking. He freezes looking towards the room that they are in. He backs into the wall so he can listen to their conversation. He looks down towards the stairs sighing slightly. `Do I really wish to know what they are talking about? It's hard to know. My luck they're talking about me.'

 

“Grandpa, do you think the police are actually going to try and help Joey?” Yami asks his eyes closed slightly. “Yes, Officer Nashime is a friend of mine and she'll be sure to help Joey.” Grandpa says looking towards the stairs, “but I don't understand how is it that your friend was the officer called?” Yami asks tilting his head slightly. Grandpa laughs quietly. “I asked for her personally but I didn't expect her twin brother to come with her.”

 

 

“It was a good thing he did, because Joey was starting to get uncomfortable with her around.” “But wouldn't you be embarrassed as well showing things to a strange woman?” Joey blinks slightly listening to what they just said. `That's not why I wished for her to leave. I didn't want Yami to see it. Yugi would end up finding out about is somehow.'

 

Joey sighs slightly as he continues the way down the stairs. Yami and Grandpa turn their heads and look at the stairs hearing Joey make his way down. Yami stands slightly and walks over to Joey. “Hey Joey, how are you feeling now?” “I feel much better now that I've rested.” “Joey, do you feel up to going to school on Monday?” “Yes, I feel up to it” Joey says looking down at the ground hoping he'll be able to live down passing out in the middle of lunch.

Kaiba Manor

 

Seto looks down at Mokuba and sighs slightly still wondering what's wrong with him. “Mokuba, what caused this to happen?” Mokuba looks down at the table trying to come up with something to say to his big brother. “Big brother, can we talk about it later please?” “No Mokuba, we're going to talk about it right now. I want to know what caused this.” “Seto it's not that big of a deal.” Seto stands quickly looking Mokuba square in the eye. “Yes it is if it caused you to get this sick. You never get sick Mokuba so it is a big deal!”

 

Mokuba looks down slightly ashamed. “Seto please… I don't want to talk about it please.” Seto sighs slightly as he makes his way towards Mokuba. He kneels in front of him placing a hand on his shoulder. “Mokuba, I really wish you'd talk to me about this.” Mokuba stands quickly and tackles Seto wrapping his arms around his neck. “Seto, I was so scared. They threatened me.”

 

Tears slowly start falling from Mokuba's eyes. “Mokuba, was it those same bullies from before? Mokuba, what did they do to you?” Mokuba's body starts shaking as he clings to his brother's shirt. Seto pats his back slightly trying to calm him down. “Mokuba, it's alright. They won't hurt you as long as I'm around.” Mokuba buries his face into his brother's shirt, the tear stains starting to show. “Big brother they beat me. They wanted to know secrets. They wanted to know things that would ruin us, but I lied and told them that I knew nothing. After I told them that they threatened that they would kill me and then they'd kill you.”

 

“Mokuba, they won't hurt you anymore. Roland will be going to accompany you to school for awhile.” “What if they c…come aft…af…after you?” Mokuba says sniffling slightly. “Then I'll hurt them more than they ever could hurt you or me. And tell them that if they ever touch you again. I won't hesitate to kill them.”

 

Seto stands slowly picking his brother up. He walks into the living room carrying Mokuba, he walks to the couch and sits down on it. “Seto, I'm scared. Why would anyone want to ruin us? I just don't understand.” Mokuba looks up slightly at Seto; he slowly starts to realize the look upon Seto's face, vengeance. “Big brother, I want someone to protect you too, please.” Seto looks down at Mokuba his expression softening slightly. “Of course Mokuba, if it'll make you feel better.”

Mouto Residence

 

Joey walks over to an empty chair across from Grandpa. He sighs continuing to look down at the floor. “Joey, do you want something to eat or drink?” Grandpa asks standing slowly. “No thank you Gramps.” “Alright.” He says walking towards the kitchen to start dinner. Yami slowly walks overt to Joey sitting on the couch Grandpa had just occupied.

 

“Joey, what will happen if they throw your father in jail.” Yami asks looking at Joey curiously not used to some of this worlds technology. “They'll most likely put me into the foster care unless if I can get myself emancipated.” “Get yourself what..” Yami asks confused. “I'm still not used to all your terms yet.” /Yami, it means to live on your own. He'll be his own guardian./ //That makes sense Yugi.//

 

Joey relaxes into the chair slightly looking up towards the ceiling now thinking about Yami's question wandering what really will happen. His eyes slowly close as his mind wanders to many things plaguing his mind. He slowly starts to fall asleep. Yami looks over towards Joey. //Yugi, should I take him up to your room or just leave him here?// /It'd be kind of difficult for you to carry Joey up to my room just leave him in the chair. Grandpa will wake him up when it's time for dinner, and when dinner comes around we're switching. I'm hungry./

 

Yami laughs quietly standing going to the kitchen to see if Grandpa needed any help with something. “Grandpa do you need help with dinner.” Grandpa hands Yami things to do. They prepare dinner in quiet while Joey catches up on some much needed rest.

 

A half hour later

 

Yugi runs into the living room tackling the chair Joey is sitting. “Joey, wake up dinner's ready. You got to come eat.” Joey rolls over slightly “No.. me no wanna wake up yet 10 more minutes.” He mumbles snoring slightly. Yugi bounces on Joey's lap “Joey… come on get up. Grandpa cooked your favorite meal. Please.” Joey rubs his eyes sitting up slowly. “But Yug, I'm not hungry I want to go back to sleep.”

 

Grandpa slowly walks into the room. “Come on Joey you need to eat and take your medication. Let's go.” Joey sighs as Yugi jumps off his lap and runs into the kitchen where the food was waiting on them. Joey stands slowly stretching being careful of some of the stitches and wrappings making sure he didn't tear any of them. He walks slowly towards the kitchen in hopes of finding something to take his mind off of what him and Yami were talking about.

Seto sighs looking down at the sleeping form of Mokuba. He runs his hand lightly through Mokuba's hair. `Oh Mokuba, I worry about you. I know I may seem so cold towards you sometimes but I don't want you to grow up like I did. I'm only trying to protect you, and my protecting you seems to only make things worse. What am I going to do.' Seto looks up towards the ceiling wandering how he's going to keep his promise to Mokuba.

 

Mokuba stirs slightly turning over curling up tighter against Seto mumbling in his sleep slightly. Seto smiles lightly as he carefully picks Mokuba up trying not to wake him. He stands up with Mokuba and slowly and carefully walks up the stairs towards Mokuba's room. He finally makes it to Mokuba's room carefully opening the door, taking Mokuba inside. Seto walks to the bed lying Mokuba down on it covering him up. He leans down and kisses Mokuba's forehead. “Goodnight Mokuba.' Seto turns slowly walking out of the room not hearing Mokuba's quiet “Goodnight big brother.”

 

Seto walks out of Mokuba's room closing the door. “I think I'm going to do some work while I wait for Mokuba to wake up and when he does we'll eat dinner.” Seto walks towards the room he just came from where his lap top was still sitting with all that days work sitting on it or around it. He looks at the mess that he had made in his haste to find Mokuba earlier. He sighs walking towards his laptop picking up things as he walks. He finally sits down in front of his lap top organizing the papers in front of him.

 

He opens his lap top starting to do work waiting to hear any sound of foot steps coming down the stairs. After a couple of hours he hears a small sound coming from upstairs. He looks up from his finally completed work in time to see a blur of black running down the stairs. He looks around wandering what it could be only to be tackled from the side by the hyperactive nut he calls his brother.

 

Mokuba laughs feeling much better then he did earlier. “Seto, I'm hungry, what are we going to eat.” “Let's go see what the cook made for us tonight alright.” Seto stands closing his lap top and walks with Mokuba towards the kitchen.

 

Mokuba jumps at the opportunity seeing as to how he barely eats with Seto anymore. His beaming face looks up at Seto and the back as they continue to walk towards the kitchen. Seto looks down at Mokuba noticing how happy he seems to be and a small smile slowly comes across his features, but slowly disappears as they come into the kitchen. Seto sees an elaborate amount of food and then looks at Mokuba “You see anything that you would like to eat, Mokuba?”

 

Mokuba runs over to the food feeling far better than he had all day. He reaches on the counter and pulls a plate of food off running over to the table. Seto shakes his head being able to tell how much better Mokuba's feeling. He walks over to the counter and looks at the food grabbing his plate and walks calmly over to the table and begins to eat.

 

Most of the meal is silent until Mokuba's idle chatter breaks the silence.

Yugi looks at Joey concerned, “but Joey you have to eat. You need to heal.” Joey shakes his head laying back down on the couch curling into a slight ball. “Not right now Yug maybe after awhile I'll be hungry enough to eat something.

 

Yugi looks at Joey again and then turn around slowly “Ok Joey as soon as Grandpa and I are done I'll come get you and see if you're hungry then.” Joey closes his eyes hearing Yugi say that.

`Well at least he's leaving me alone for now. I know I should eat, but I know I'm just a hassle to them both. It'd be better off if I wasn't here at all. They don't need this kind of pain. What if my dad shows up and hurts them? I should go back to him so that won't happen. But I'm scared of what would happen if I did. I fear that this time it would be the end of me, if I let him touch me again.'

 

End of Chapter

 

If any of you are confused in this chapter don't feel bad the authoress is extremely confused. I extremely don't like how this chapter progressed. I also feel like I am incapable of finishing this story. I really would like to but at this moment I have no free time. I will try and write a paragraph a day if I can for the next chapter. Maybe I'll find inspiration somewhere and be able to finish the next chapter faster. Well I hope you all were able to enjoy this chapter even through all the confusingness, yes I know its not a word but it is in my world, of it..
