Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Slave Mongrel ❯ Animal Rescue ( Chapter 8 )

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------

{"Ballroom, who let your evil side out?" Seto asked while they All ate breakfast. Ballroom Shrugged as she answered. "Well I had her locked away, but I'm thinking Jackie let her out. He's just pissed because I was letting you guys have all the sap, and he had to spend the first days of my writing hobbie being tortured." "You don't own jack in this story do you?" Kaiba inquired and Ballroom shook her head. "Can You guess the detective?" Kaiba frowned. "What detective?" "The one my editor, who bless his sober little soul has returned, asked me what he was from. He just edited Katsu Puddle Ooze and lied his ass off saying it was good." Ballroom Blushed red. Kaiba frowns. "He lied, []D [] []V[] []D lied off his ass, he's just trying to get into your pants." "Well if he wanted to barrow them all he had to do was ask." Noa Kaiba walks in, pauses, glares, and shows the review board. "You had better make this up to these poor people." Ballroom glared at him, then pouted. "But it was my evil half really. You know how sadistic she is, and when I locked her away, all this sap started oozing out, but then Marik and Bakura got together and unleashed her at Chan's request, now she's back being evil and I can't seal her away again." "Damn it…." Noa cursed. }

Chapter Seven: Animal Rescue

Seto chewed out the corporate moron who had called him, and attended to his daily duties as the owner of Kaiba Corporation. Part way through the day he got Kind of an antsy feeling and didn't understand why. He shrugged it off, but it was at the back of his mind nagging him incessantly. With a sigh he paused and called the house, getting no answer. Why wasn't the mutt picking up the phone. He growled and hung up, then called Duke's office. A moment later Duke answered.

"Sweet cheeks?" Kaiba asked confused then growled. "Where's Joey? What for? I was just curious. How did…? Yes… Maybe ….. Agreed." Kaiba hung up the phone, looking at it. Then he hauled ass, throwing things in his brief case and telling his secretary he was leaving. When she told him he had an appointment with the board in an hour he told her to make something up. He left her standing there shocked.

Duke grabbed the phone as he went to look up a receipt in the back room for a customer who had bought a game boy here last week. Glancing at the caller ID he smirked and answered it. "Hello Sweet cheeks. Yes. He was going shopping. Grocery and other foods. Why? You lie, It's like something's wrong isn't it? I was right!? Oh my god, something's happened to him, I just know it. I'll meet you at home, I have an eerie feeling about this."

Duke Hung up, printed out the receipt, grabbed his stuff, which was only his store keys, and ran to the front desk. He handed the receipt to the clerk, told them to exchange the damn thing out and that he had to go as something unexpected had turned up. With that he left. He raced on the way home, narrowly avoiding Kaiba's limo as he flew past. Kaiba was right on his tail all the way to the house, and Duke didn't hit the breaks till he was in the driveway, stopping an inch from the garage door.

Both Kaiba and Duke were out of their vehicles in no time, and both reach the door at the same moment. Duke Unlocked the door and walked in, calling out to Joey. Nothing in the house was disturbed. It was about four thirty in the afternoon, so unless Joey left recently he would be back any moment now. So the two waited for him to come back.

And waited.

And waited.

"Damn it! Where the hell is he!" Kaiba punched the wall by six fifteen. Duke was startled by the violent outburst, even more shocked when Kaiba pulled his fist away and bloodied dry wall fell to the floor. "I'm sorry….."

"Don't worry about it but you're hurt." Duke took Kaiba's hand and lead him into the kitchen, grabbing the phone along the way when it started to ring. "Joey? Oh hello Yugi. No he's not. How early did you call? Well, he was suppose to go shopping then return, if he's been gone since then…." Duke shook his head trailing off, Kaiba took the phone and pulled Duke into an embrace.

"How long did you say? Yeah, me too kid, and sure I'll send the limo for you. Yeah." Kaiba Hung up the phone and hugged Duke who was hanging onto him. "Yugi's on his way over." Kaiba dialed out on the phone and gave his driver directions to Yugi's house and told him to bring them over at once. Kaiba hung up the phone again, and Duke looked up at him with tearful eyes.

"He's going to be ok though right? He'll come in laughing saying he got lost." Duke couldn't help but cry into Kaiba's shoulder as the brunet stroked his raven locks. He should have done something when he felt uneasy, and now something bad had happened to their puppy. Kaiba just hugged him, whispering nothing important in a soft soothing voice.

"No. Hi Duke, Joey's not there? Well we called earlier several times and still got no answer, and we were for sure he'd be home by now." Yugi knew he sounded like a worried little kid. "Around two. About two, Kaiba do you want us to come over, because I'm worried…. Thanks Kaiba, see ya soon."

"Well Aibou?" Yami asked as Yugi hung up the phone and turned to the others. Tristan, Ryou, and Bakura (who came out of his room to glare at the pharaoh) looked at the smallest one with interest. They were worried since Yugi began to feel bad, and could only describe it as a part of his heart breaking, and Tristan had kind of sensed it too. Yugi looked up at him sadly and Yami opened his arms in invitation, which was readily accepted.

"Joey hasn't been back yet Yami, and Duke sounded rather concerned. He answered the phone asking for Joey." Yugi sniffled and Continued. "Kaiba is sending the limo, we should probably go wait outside." Everyone agreed and they all went to wait outside, they waited longer than anyone would have liked for the limo to arrive and piled in when it did. The trip to Duke's was quiet, no one saying anything. Needless to say Tristan was worried, that was his best friend.

Finally they arrived at the quaint little house of Duke Devlin, with it's tended grounds, green grass and colourful flowers. None of them paid heed to it and ran for the door, Tristan the first one at the door, knocking on it. A moment later Kaiba opened the door and led them inside. Tristan was the first to blurt out. "Any sign of Joey yet?"

"Does it look like we've seen a sign of him?" Kaiba growled and Duke came in on the phone, arguing with someone about Joey being a missing person.

"I don't care if it has to be twenty four hours, he was suppose to be here hours ago, and he wouldn't do this. It's his job to be here on time, and this is the first time he's been late." It was a white lie, it was still true to a point. Duke rolled his eyes as the cop babbled about rules and regulations and whatever then Kaiba grabbed the phone, standing with it to his ear for a moment.

"Now you listen here. Our friend doesn't take four hour-long trips to the grocery store. Now If I can't get some one to put out an ABP, a missing persons report, anything on him, I'm going to be very upset." He paused a moment, then frowned. "Seto Kaiba." He smirked as the attitude on the other end of the phone changed dramatically. "Good, now you will assist Mister Devlin to the best of your abilities in this matter."

Duke took the phone back from Kaiba with a grateful smile and walked off into the kitchen. Kaiba led everyone into the living room where they all took seats, except Kaiba who was pacing back and forth. He paced until Duke came through the door. "They are sending a detective over, he should be here soon enough."

Kaiba sat down, holding Duke to him as they waited for the detective. What seemed like centuries later, but was only about fifteen minutes, the doorbell rang. Duke Jumped up, and Kaiba stood and went to answer the door. He was greeted by a blue jean, white T, leather biker Jacket wearing street punk with Blond hair. "Officer."

"Actually that's detective Leon of the Domino PD." The pretty blond cop flashed his badge to Kaiba who didn't bother glancing at it. Kaiba moved and allowed the cop to enter. They walked into the living room, where Duke was impatiently waiting. "I understand you have a missing person."

"Yes, he was suppose to go straight to the store and back. He was here when I left for work about twelve thirty." Duke said as he looked at the cop, almost desperately.

"OK, and You got home about what time and discovered him missing?" Detective Leon asked as he took out a notepad and started writing in it. The cop took note of almost everything, two sets of twins, hole in the wall with blood staining it. Each of the twins had a piece of gaudy jewelry around their necks. The one the pale haired kids had looked a bit more interesting than the one the triple coloured haired kid had.

"We got home about the same time around four thirty. Yugi called and said he had been calling since at least two." Kaiba responded as Leon wrote down in his pad.

"Yugi?" Leon looked at Kaiba with a raised eyebrow, questioning who this new name belonged too.

"I'm Yugi, Yugi Motou!" Yugi said as he waved at the detective, and the Detective smiled at him.

"Ok and how about that hole in the wall?" Leon pointed to the one that could be seen in the dining room. Kaiba held up his hand to reveal the white dusted bloody wounds. "And why was that done?"

"He got pissed off about six a clock and punched the wall." Duke responded with a nervous look at Kaiba.

"And why is he here, so concerned about this missing….?" Detective Leon trailed off, fishing for the name. He had a lot on his mind and was just told to investigate a missing person at the Devlin resident when an employ didn't come back from the store.

"Joey Wheeler, it's actually Joseph, but we all call him Joey." Yugi filled in for him at which he nodded.

"And This best stay off record." Kaiba said in serious tones, causing Leon to look at him with a frown. "Joey and I very close."

"With Mister Devlin here, mister?" Leon asked, no wonder the brunet was worried about Joey that he would Punch walls.

"Seto Kaiba. And Yes Mister Kaiba is involved with us." Duke responded, then crossed his arms and asked with a frown. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Have to get your relationship with the missing person. I thought you were his employer?" Leon asked as he wasn't writing much down now, he didn't think Kaiba or Devlin had done anything to missing mister Wheeler.

"I am, he cleans my house, cooks for me, and picks my school work up for me when I'm not at school." Duke responded with a frown as Leon nodded. "It's just this complicated relationship came out of nowhere. And we're worried."

"And what makes you so sure he didn't go off somewhere for a little while and won't be back tonight laughing about this?" He asked, mostly expecting shrugs or some lame excuse, so he was rather shocked when Kaiba spoke, his voice not faltering and his icy blue eyes unwavering.

"It's almost like having part of your heart ripped out. You don't know how you know, you just know." Kaiba stared at the Detective. Hell Kaiba couldn't explain it, but that's about how it felt.

"Does he have any enemies that you know of? Was he on foot? What was he wearing?" Leon asked, this caused Devlin and Kaiba to glance at each other.

"Besides us, none that I know of. He was on foot, yes. I left before he got dressed." Duke responded sarcastically. Leon glanced at him questioningly.

"Well besides them, there's not that many people." Yugi rattled off a short list of people. Leon wrote it down, asked if they had a picture, they all did, taking one from the brunet in the trench coat (A picture of Joey and Yugi in front of a castle showing off some gloves embedded with stars.) said he would look into it and give them a call as he left. Everyone would sit around hoping the phone would ring, and that Joey would come bouncing in laughing at them.

Duke showed Detective Leon out and came back into the room, then he walked over to the fire place and reached into a box, pulling something out. He turned around lighting it, leaving everyone in the room in shock as the sweet acidic smell hit their noses. Kaiba was the first to blurt out everyone's thoughts. "Is that weed?"

Duke nodded as he hit it, taking a long puff off of it and holding it in. Tristan held his hand out for it, and hit it when he received it. In the end Kaiba and Bakura were smoking with them, and the three dark haired boys along with Bakura were passing the joint back and forth till it was a roach. They were all silent.

"Hey!" Bakura shouted scaring and startling everyone, he continued, to high to notice (it was his first time smoking the stuff so he was feeling pretty damn good). "Maybe the ring could find him! Duh as Joey would say."

"That's a great Idea Bakura." Tristan said and hugged his lover who concentrated his attention on the ring, commanding it to find the mutt. The pointers started glowing and pointed in a direction. They all shrugged and walked out of the house, ignoring the car across the street, and followed the pointers on the ring.

Leon stepped outside and sighed. Just because he was gone for a few paltry hours, he probably ran into some friends and went to the arcade. He sighed again and started walking down the street in the general direction of the nearby market. He was idly running over the people he had spoken with. And those who hadn't spoke. Two sets of twins, that was unique, but Yugi and his twin had looked somewhat different. The other two looked sad and evil. Darkness and Light was the most adept description.

Leon was over halfway to the shopping strip when he paused and glanced over to the right. He walked over to what had caught his eye, right there in the mouth of the alleyway. He crouched down and picked up a set of keys. He flipped them over in his hand looking around to find any more clues or something in the dim alleyway. Nothing.

He glanced at the keys, looking at the key chain that said `World's greatest big brother.' It was a beer opener, but got it's point across. He looked at another charm, and smiled, `Incase of an emergency contact Sugoroku Motou at the Turtle Game Shop.' Then it gave the address and phone number. Another charm almost exactly like it except it said to call Misses Taylor and had her address and phone. Leon sighed, he suddenly had an eerie feeling that these Keys belonged to one Joey Wheeler. Now where was Mister Wheeler?

He turned around, completely prepared to leave when he noticed Kaiba, Devlin Yugi and the other three walking down the street following the white hair kid who was holding something glowing in his hand. What the hell? He decided to follow them, maybe this was some elaborate plan. They got to the park and then stopped, standing around and yelling at the one who had the glowing device.

They milled around on the playground for a while, till almost eight thirty, smoking dope. And Leon was beginning to think it was a bunch of shit when he noticed something that caused his jaw to hit the ground. The ring around the pale haired kids' neck started to glow, the little arrows pointing off to the north of town, which was the direction they had been heading anyways. They all took off in that direction, Leon following close behind.

{"The plot thickens!" Ballroom say's. "Like Chicken!" Dox comes out of nowhere and Ballroom has to do a double take. "Anyways, here be more smut!" "For your buck!" Para adds on as Ballroom groans in dismay. "While you fucking bust a nut in some cunt!" Bakura and Marik go on a rapping spree, freestyling. Damn they're good!}

Joey groaned as he came too, discovering he was on the bed again. He tried to move his hands but they had been retied above his head and his legs were still tied to the corners of the bed. The gag in his mouth once again, leaving it to taste funny and dry, almost like cottonmouth. He glanced around dully, looking for his tormentor, who was nowhere in sight. Maybe he left me here to die. He doubted it. I can hope. After the last few sessions with Keith, Joey was looking forward to some eternal rest because he didn't think his body could handle much more. Joey wasn't sure how long he had been captive. Hours or days, weeks or months, it didn't matter anymore. It was much to long for his liking. He was hoping he would die of a shattered spirit, devastated heart, broken body. Hope for anything that would end the pain.

Hope was cut short as Bandit Keith walked into the room, carrying a few drinks and some food on a tray. Joey decided the ceiling was more interesting than the man who just came in the door. Keith sat the tray down on the table then was standing over the broken blond. Joey started to tremble unintentionally, and this caused Keith to smirk sinisterly down at him. Joey let out a little whimper as his trembling increased and tears came to his eyes, try as he might he couldn't stop. No more, I just want to go home now! He was screaming in his own mind, pleading with any, and all powers greater than him to just end it.

"Well, are we ready for the next round, what would it be now? Round Seven?" Keith asked as he looked down at his prisoner. Joey turned his head away from his tormentor, refusing to look him. Awww, poor baby. Keith smirked and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out and Gently turning tearful amber eyes to meet his own. "Are you hungry, thirsty perhaps…?"

Joey shook his head no, turning away from the bastard. How dare he try to be kind after all the cruel things he had done. Joey tried not to cry, tried to suppress the sobs, but he couldn't help it. He cried, turning as far away from Bandit Keith as he could. He wanted to curl up and die, cease to exist. But most of all he wanted the strength and freedom to kick Bandit Keith's ass. And Joey concentrated on that little spark of hate and loathing for the blond duelist and fanned it. He fanned it till the flow of tears dried up like an ancient ocean bed turned desert and he feed that spark turning it to a raging fire from hell.

Keith shrugged and was about to go finish his drink when the blond turned smoldering eyes on him. It wasn't like before, there was no fear, no broken spirit within those dark orbs, nothing but a hot hatred that burned. Keith didn't bother with a smirk but stared back steadily at the blond. Joey wasn't scared of him anymore and appeared defiant even if he was restrained, and Keith was suddenly very thankful he had the blond tied up. He ran his hands along the naked form that was tied up on his bed, never breaking eye contact even as the flame of hatred raged hotter and brighter than before as hit grew with each passing second.

Keith wanted those tears back, along with the fear that was there. Whatever had changed in the last few moments was not to his liking. He somehow lost his power over the blond dweeb and he wanted it back. He wanted to hear those sobs, listen to those whimpers and taste those tears yet again. Keith wanted to make more injures, letting the blond know who had the power, who had control. He leaned down getting right Joey's face with a smirk, nuzzling their noses together. There was more than one way to skin a cat, more than just physically to torture a soul. "You want to kill me, but you won't be able to do it."

Joey growled, wanted to tear from his bindings and rip this conceited bastards' head off. He did the only things he could, growled out muffled curses, not a care that he wasn't being understood (He really felt like venting), Some minor struggling and the mother of all glares. He was a little shocked at first, down right scared, but something clicked in his mind a moment ago. Something clicked that should have never been forgotten. Who he was, and what he wasn't. What he wasn't was a coward. He stood before worse people than this sick bastard here.

Keith smirked and pulled away to look into those dark smoking eyes. They were the dark wood smoke, like the edges of a fire place at night in a cold dark room in a log cabin some where far away from anyone who could hear you scream. And he started growling and throwing what sounded to be the vilest of promises and threats. Keith was a little shocked, leaning back a little, then he smirked. It was his imagination, had to be. "Aw what's wrong are we a little pissed of that we really are a whore."

`Screw you you sick fuck. Pray I never get let go, because when I do this puppy's going to be so rabid the pack won't be able to pull him off. And If I could spit in your fag ass face, I Would!' Joey screamed into the gag, glaring flaming swords at the bastard, he didn't care he was insulting himself to with the last comment. It felt damn good. He didn't struggle crazily at his binds, but more of roughly tugged at them like he was trying to get in a well-aimed punch or kick. Keith shook his head at Joey and out right laughed at his captive.

What the hell was wrong with him. Keith shook his head with a final laughing sigh, still grinning. Then hauled back and slapped Joe so damn hard the smack of flesh making contact echoed about the room seemingly for a moment in the quiet that followed. Joey stayed with his turned, for just a brief moment. Then he turned the raging fires of hell back to the shades wearing blond and laughed. It was merely but a muffling of his chuckle, but the slight curve of the lip, the cocky look, like when he's lured you into trap. But what trap did this little golden retriever have that could save him from this. What magic card was going to save him now.

Banging on the door and repeated use of the doorbell scared the wholly living fuck out of him. Keith jumped up, glaring in the direction of the offense. He was breathing hard, the restraint from screaming taking a lot out of him. Joey had been creeping him out and that just scared him. What happed was it continued to go on, not stopping, and Joey chortled into his gag. Keith backhanded the blond again, the mocking laughter not ceasing, only to increase in volume and slip in sanity.

Keith stormed out the door, down the hall, passing the dining room and living room both till he stood in the hallway before the door. He was busted and he knew it, still every cell in his body screamed not to open that door. What was little Yugi and his cheerleaders going to do against him. He pulled out his gun, the pounding and ringing of the door no longer bothering him as he cocked his glock. He didn't need to look through the peephole to know it was probably covered so he couldn't see out; it would have been pointless to look. He reached out, started to slowly unlock the door, the incessant get me and don't do it pounding in his ears and mind. He reached the door handle turned the knob and opened the door to See No other than Seto Kaiba paused in the middle of pounding on the door.

Yugi glared the cold of death upon him with two words. "Bandit Keith." It barely took him a second to register who it was. Only something was different. Yugi and that pale haired kid were standing dead center, looking evil and confident and one could almost tell there was no sanity left in brown eyes, Death promised in blood ruby red. Across from Kaiba was a raven haired beauty (he owns a game shop he vaguely recalled), looking like one hell of a sexy black cat ready to kill it's prey that took it on a merry little chase. Keith stood dead still, wishing he never had opened the door, it was a second longer to register than what he had, and he found himself in a world of hurt. Screaming of curses and hatred directed at him, and no one was coming to his rescue.

"Damn, why couldn't they tell me what floor they were heading to!" Leon panted as he raced up flight of stair. Luckily he could see the elevator from the stair well and it kept going up. He was going to find out what the hell was going on. At least this building only had twenty floors. When he reached the floor they got out on, the twentieth floor no less, he waited long enough he could catch up to them and he wouldn't be seen sneaking through the door. When he caught up to them, Someone was smoking greenage, they were pounding on a door, the pale haired kids ring was glowing, and maybe it was imagination but was that turbulence blowing his hair?

"Answer the door fuckwad." Bakura growled out as he puffed on the joint, standing here waiting for the door to open.

"Pass that shit." Duke muttered as he pounded the doorbell with a finger calmly, Kaiba across from him using an arm to pound on the door. Not a second later he grabbed the joint from a glaring Tomb robber. "What's taking him?"

"I say we break fucking door down and beat his ass, and ram swords up there!" Bakura grinned evilly, Tristan was taken aback, looking at his lover with wide eyes. He knew Bakura was sadistic, he had seen every one of Ryou's scars, told the story behind them from the menace himself. But to actually hear that threat, the look of sheer mad evil and the glint in the eyes of all that's evil is in control, was kind of scary. Tristan gulped, Yami glanced at him, while Duke and Kaiba looked at him like he had flipped his lid, and `was he serious?' Style of looks as they continued their administrations, Kaiba kicking the door with steel toed boots. Finally the door opened, gun at their heads, particularly Bakura's, who just grinned, a look of all sanity and morals walked out the door leaving super ultra evil in it's wake. It was down right creepy and Keith paused, staring at them wide eyed.

"Bandit Keith." Yami growled and Yugi whispered it from his room before the Dark magician shut his door locking him and kuriboh in. Yugi did not need to see this. He hated locking his other away but it had to be done. No doubt Bakura was letting his other watch, and Tristan could only glare and clench his fist. Kaiba gave Keith the bored-est look as he paused in beating the door. Duke gave a predatory grin, black panther about to pounce Your ass and tear you up, and you just ran out of time.

Two fist hit Keith in the face as he hesitated. These were businessmen. They don't hesitate. The gun hit the floor as Keith flew back, probably already unconscious, but they didn't pause. They were through the door, both of them kicking Keith a few dozen time, then they were off calling through out the apartment looking for their lost puppy. Those left at the door stared in shocked awe of the sheer speed these two had moved, and though only knowing each other not even a week, they worked together well. Duke hollered, sounding somewhat panicky.

"Left Overs!" Bakura growled out as he drew a knife. He paused then looked at Tristan. And Tristan knew Bakura had his reasons suddenly, his eyes filled with such an intense sense of justice, even if he was clearly insane. Ryou said once that Bakura could never do wrong in his own mind once he knew someone's soul, and in this moment Tristan understood why Ryou always forgave him. Tristan had never seen the soul of the corrupt as Ryou said he had, but the evil Spirit had his moments, this was vengeance for a soul that had done no wrong. Now why was the question!? Bakura turned back to the task at hand, covering the screams to muffle them as he rammed his knife into flesh and gleefully carved graffiti into Bandit Keith.

Joey laughed a moment longer later after Keith left. The banging on the wooden door, the ring of the bell pounding, demanding attention at once. `For an army stands at your door.' Who had said that? It was quite suddenly for a send, respite from noise, the time when the ambush you knew was coming and you froze. He stared at the ceiling, willing the tears away as he heard Seto and Duke screaming, it was a relieving sound and he struggled, screaming and crying, making as much noise as he could, calling out to them to save him. To still love him as they once did.

Duke glanced in the door standing cold in his tracks, Kaiba right behind him seeing what had caught his attention. Joey was laid out on a bed, his legs tied apart, hands above his head, covered in semen and blood. It coated his legs like a morbid paint of pain and sin. Joey was struggling desperately to get free, and his chest constricted with such a mix of emotion his heart froze before shattering to tiny pieces. He knew if that was Duke there he would have felt the same.

Duke screamed Joey's name, and rushed into the room, hugging Joey to him, tears flowing freely as he untied the gag. Kaiba walked in almost radiating cold fury, he stalked over to the bed and started by untying their puppy's hands from the bed. Duke was stroking Joey's cheeks, tears falling unimpeded as he kissed the blond murmuring sweet nothings.

Kaiba ran his hand through blond hair, silently giving comfort while Duke doted on him. Kaiba gave it a moment, no one thinking, just feeling relief he was still alive, they would do damage calculations later. Right now though they had more important things to deal with, like getting the hell out of here and making up a story all together. Kaiba got Dukes' attention, being gently firm in his commands, the cool and calm businessman. "Duke untie his legs, and he will need clothes."

Duke nodded numbly, but he had regained his calm, the trail of his tears still glimmering on his cheeks. Kaiba leaned over his puppy, kissing his forehead and rubbing their noses together. It wasn't a standard Kaiba gentleness, this was something all new all together. As if Joey had been on the verge of death and barely had made it back, was still on the brink, letting him now he was loved.

"Freeze Police! Oh my god!" Came a voice from the door. First is was a powerful voice full of command, then it was shocked and disgusted, filled with horror. "Get the hell away from him and don't move! Against the wall! Now!" That put Joey back to being a little scared and he whimpered, clutching at Kaiba who sat him up, pulling him to an embrace

Duke grabbed clothes, a pair of pants and a shirt he recognized as his. Duke almost broke out crying again as Joey started to sound a little broken behind him. He turned around, Kaiba was hugging the blond close, rocking back forth and kissing him. Duke walked over, straightening out the pants as he bent down, whispering gently. "Come on we have to get dressed so we can leave."

Joey nodded as he turned, both of them helping the blond who was shaking, barely able to stand on his own, into his pants. Barely buttoning them up, the two ushered Joey out into the hall. Duke frowning at the lash marks and a few slashes on his chest as he put the dress shirt on the blond. The all stopped at the sight that greeted there eyes Joey making a few choking sounds.

That was assault and battery on one Kaiba and his boyfriend mister Devlin. Damn were they fast or what. He pulled his weapon, and waited till the other three advanced. What? Three? Where were the other twins at? He glanced around making sure they weren't in wait for him, then advanced on the door. No one go poking their noses out the doors all once now, because no one did, like this wasn't happening. Because it wasn't, it was a neighbors TV, that's all it was.

There was Yelling and screaming coming from inside the apartment, first it was angry, then frantic, then there was one last scream, but of shock and something else. Hopeful. Happy. It was mix of these things. He took a breath, with everything somewhat silent save some muffled screaming. He swung around, screaming, his at the gun ready. "Freeze Police!"

"Oh my god…" He trailed off, almost dropping his gun at the sight. The white haired kid was sitting on top of a body, carving designs into some blond. He didn't think it was Mister Wheeler, but there was so much blood everywhere and on the body it was hard to tell. And Those demonic brown eyes had turned to a pitch black, beckoning to let him finish with his fun. Vaguely he registered the two standing with their faces turned from the scene and that Kaiba and his boy were elsewhere. He just stared a moment, the raised his gun back up. This was business, it was do or die. "Get the hell away from him and don't move! Against the wall! Now!"

He got up, muttering at him to make up his mind, clutching his blade as he backed up enough to give the detective a safe feeling. He shrugged, grinned merrily, then started licking his blade. Detective Leon had to still a groan at the sight of him licking it so seductively, and the fact it was blood made it disgusting, or more erotic, was hard to tell. And the little bastard was doing it on purpose. The brunet did moan however, while the other stared in wide eyed horror. Welcome back Detective. "You two move over there with your friend. Now."

"Oh yeah." The brunet muttered absent mindedly as he walked over to the other in a daze. How could something so damn evil look so damn cute was beyond two of the occupants of the room. Yami in the mean time stared at the detective like he had flipped. "You too."

"I'm not standing anywhere near that psychotic slaughterer. He's crazy if you've failed to notice." Yami responded dispassionately, but there was a tinge of anger to his words. The Detective who was watching the scene with disbelief and little disgust mixed in looked over at Yami liked he'd flip. But He was calm and stoic, he was accustomed to Bakura's ways, witnessing his acts back in the old land.

Choking sounds gained everyone's attention, and they looked to where it had come from. Joey was standing there, half dressed, Duke and Kaiba holding him as they stared at whatever was left of whoever that was on the floor in a pool of their own blood. Then Mister Wheeler started laughing, a light giggling as he cuddled up to Duke, Kaiba steering them away from the scene. Joey continued chuckling as Kaiba looked at the cop. "We found Our friend Detective."

"How did u find him?" Officer Leon looked at the kids that stood before him, awaiting his answer. They all looked at each other, then back at him. The three colour haired one sighed and looked at him solemnly.

"My name is Yami. You've meet Yugi." Yugi magically appeared next to his other self, Hiding behind the spirit for protection as he gazed up at the detective with those big sweet eyes. "Ummm ….. we have these magical powers, and the tomb robber here can find things apparently. Bakura shrugged sucking blood off his fingers with a grin, Tristan was hugging Ryou and watching the white haired spirit with a morbid fascination.

"Well …….." What was there to say to that? This kid just duped over and cloned himself in a cuter version, the other one appeared out of nowhere in tears. There was a bloodied and beaten Mister Joey Wheeler, who appeared about to crack if he wasn't taking out her real soon. Then the others. Leon sighed and muttered to himself a moment. What to do? Why me? Galncing about he suddenly remembered. In case of an emergency. "So who should I call first? Mister Motou or Miss Taylor, maybe the cops first."

"You found my keys?" Joey asked in a daze checking his pockets, trying to return to something a little more normal. Looking for keys was a good start. Joey pulled out his wallet and opened it, looking through it. He put it back in his pocket as he spoke as if in a haze. "I have everything else.

"I found them in an alley way, as your friends walked by and I followed them here. So I suggest that an anonymous person found your keys' gave Mister Motou a call and told you where they were to be found. You came to investigate and found your friend. Now go, figure the rest out. Just go away." Detective Leon said as he stood tapping his foot. The youths stood there looking at him in an amount of disbelief and shock. Leon sighed. "I said Go!" That started them and they left out the door quickly, murmuring their thanks are just smirking at him. Except the blood covered other white haired kid, he looked evil and Leon found he wanted to lock the door behind that one. He stood alone in the now somewhat empty apartment with a bleeding and carved up man upon the floor who moaned in agony. This was going to take a lot of explaining to his superiors.

{"OK one more chapter to go, maybe two, but that b stretching it. Animal was being abused and they called in animal rescue. Hahaha. Yes sadistic deranged Bakura. Don't we just love the deranged spirits!

I figure one last good little lemon. Maybe Yami and Yugi, maybe. For reasons why it just doesn't work in my mind. Yugi will never be more than waist high on Kaiba, and Yami will always see him as the sweetest most innocent little light to ever exists and can't stand the thought of corrupting the little one, though he really can't wait for it. So …….. Yugi's too cute. Nothing bad will ever happen to Yugi in any of my story's. And another chappie of YotD will be out soon too for those who care! Did I forget anything?" "Ballroom looked around, Noa was glaring waving the review board. Ballroom glared. "The make up chapter will be out eventually."

"Please tell her to stop writing!" Jou whimpers as he begs the readers and Ballroom evil laughter echoes about . "She's becoming more evil! Make her stop"
