After finding the murdered body of Jounouchi Katsuya Kaiba has to keep his word and break the news to his best friend.

The Call

Kaiba had been starring at the phone on his desk for some time now. This was the hardest call he ever had to make but he did promise Yugi he'd call if he found out anything. And finding Jounouchi's mangled body was defiantly something. -Yugi is not going take this very well. - He sighed. -Might as well get this over with. - He dialed slowly and waited for an answer. Each ring of the phone was tuned out by each thundering beating of his own heart. Until at last… "Hello, Turtle Game Shop?"

"Yugi, it's Kaiba."

"Kaiba?" The boy sounded surprised but at the same time hopeful. Kaiba wenched.

"Listen, Yugi, you asked me to tell you if I found out anything about…" he trailed off not sure if he could finish the thought.

"Jounouchi!? Did you find him? Is he alright?"

"…."

"Kaiba?"

"Yugi…are you sitting down?"

"Kaiba you're scaring me."

Kaiba took a breath. -I don't want to do this, but I have to. - "This afternoon Mokuba and I found his body at Widow's ridge at the bottom of the cliffs. He's dead, he's been murdered, he's gone Yugi."

He waited for what seemed like hours waiting for the boy's response wishing he could just hang up the phone.

"Yugi?" finally there was a response.

"You're lying…YOU'RE LYING KAIBA! You have to be. Tell me this is just a sick joke TELL ME!"

"I'm sorry Yugi, I truly am."

"NO! SHUT UP! He's not dead, Jou can't be dead he just can't be." The tricolored haired boy sobbed into the phone. "I was just with him last week paying duel monster. He left and said, `See ya tomorrow Yug.' And I waited and waited…" Kaiba could hear the pure agonizing grief in the young duelist's voice and it disturbed him a lot more then he would let on. "He'll come, he never lies to me. He's late but he'll be here, you'll see."

"Yugi…I just…I just didn't want you to find out on the news tonight." All he could hear was the thump of the phone hitting the floor and Yugi now crying his heart out in the background. "Good-bye."

And with that Seto hung up and drooped to his bed. He knew Yugi wouldn't take it well but still. Visions of Jounouchi's mangled body on the rocks started to flash through his mind. He put his head in his hands feeling a headache coming on. -I need to get some sleep. - He had been up for almost 48 hours first with saving his company then with the murder investigation of his classmate. He was almost asleep when he heard a tiny wrap on his door.

"Seto?" He looked up to see Mokuba clutching a teddy bear. One he thought his little brother had stopped using years ago. "I had a nightmare. Can I please sleep with you Oni-sama?" The sleepy elder brother blinked, for a moment Mokuba looked a bit younger this night. He walked over and picked up the child.

"Sure kid, I really sorry you had to see that today but you're safe here. Now let's go to sleep." Mokuba nodded against his brother's chest. As they lay in bed the dark haired child spoke up.

"Oni-sama?"

"Hm?" Said a very tired Sato.

"Can we go to Jounouchi's funeral?"

Seto was barely conscious wasn't fully comprehending what his brother was asking. "I guess so but why…" but the rich teen fell asleep before he could hear the answer.

"Because Jounouchi-kun told me to."
