Severed belongs to Mudvaine.

A small frown formed on the young man's face as he wondered the streets of Domino rather restlessly. It

was way past midnight and most of the bars and clubs he went to were closing. There was no way he was

going to turn back and return home to his abusive father and depressed sister. This was his time to escape

the reality of his miserable excuse for a life, he figured walking the streets was a hell of a lot better then

dealing with them. Sure he loved his little sister Serenity very much but sometimes her depressed

attitude got on his nerves and he snapped at her. Which in turn just made her more withdrawn into

herself. Burying his hands into his jacket pockets Joey turned his gaze to the sidewalk, golden eyes

noticing every crack and piece of garbage. He had thought about going to Yugi's house and maybe

spending the weekend there but now that his best bud had a girlfriend he hardly had time. Don't make

him seem rude or anything he was glad that Yugi and Tea and finally admitted their feelings and started

a relationship. His own love life was non existent now that Mai had moved to Tokyo and started her own

business leaving poor ol' Joey Wheeler in the dust.

{ And we hide behind, Lies, anger, hate they shoo love away Build shells of ourselves outside It shelters the body from cold reigns of reality.}

It had shocked him when Mai had came to him one early Saturday morning, her convertible resting out

on the street. Normally he went to her house when they decided to do stuff together. Seeing her shining

amethyst eyes that early in the morning had told him something was up. He had went to the door dressed

in nothing but a pair of shabby old boxers and a bright smile on his face. Seeing her almost seem to

brighten his mood, even when something bad was going to happen. They had looked at one another for a

few moments neither one speaking before she broke the eye contact and looked at the sidewalk. "Joey, I

came to decision..I'm moving to Tokyo to start my own business." At first he hadn't believed her and his

eyes danced with humor as a soft chuckle escaped his pale lips. "Your jokin' right Mai?" He asked and

moved to take a hold of her pale painfully manicured hand. She shook her head a bit looking up at him

with tears forming in her eyes. "No..Joey I'm not joking around. Besides I think we need sometime apart,

your just a kid in all." Her voice was a mere whisper and he has strained to hear those words. "I love

you..how can ya just leave!" He growled out dropping her hand quickly golden eyes blazing like flames.

"Did you ever consider us Mai...What we ha-..have.." A gentle sound of surprise was his reply and his

eyes looked into her and he saw the truth. What they had wasn't serious Mai was only using him as

convenience until something better came along, a better opportunity came dancing along. He had loved

her very much and it was like getting his heart smashed into a pulp by her high heeled boots. "Joey, your

just a kid you got so many choices in the future..." His hands clenched tightly into fists and he looked

down at the ground not knowing what to say. "You just used me and now that I got boring it's time to

just throw me away." Joey turned away slowly and moved to close the door not wanting to look at her

anymore. "Good luck in Tokyo Mai." Closing his eyes he pushed the front door closed in her face, tears

running down his face. That had happened only a few weeks ago and still he had found no one even semi

interesting. {Come on, Step Out, Of your rind, assemble strength, focus..}

Noticing a beer bottle, he let his sneaker clad foot smash into it. The bottle soared through the air and

smashed into a car that was parked along side the street. His mouth fell open as he approached slowly

afraid that a car alarm would start sounding. Nothing happened and he let out a sigh of relief as he

peered at the car. It was nice looking blue corvette. "Wow whoever has this car as some big bucks.." He

exclaimed to himself and rubbed at his eyes in shock before he glanced around. His skin visibly paled as

he saw the huge building. "Please don't let this be Kaiba's car.." Joey shuddered at the mere thought of

how pissed the CEO would be to find his back window cracked and scratched. Rubbing the back of his

head he started to move away...not wanting to get arrested or beat to a pulp but some sicko tie wearer.

The front door of the Kaiba Corp building opened and a tall figure walked out his long black trench coat

blowing out behind him proudly. Golden eyes went wide and Joey moved to press himself against a

building, silently hoping no praying that Kaiba wouldn't see him. The lithe form of Seto Kaiba

approached the car and let out a loud disgusted sound. Clamping a hand over his mouth he slowed edged

away from the area and gasped as he tripped over a can. Seto turned quickly blue eyes narrowed as he

looked at the form laying on the ground. "Wheeler...what is a mutt like you doing out here?" His

sarcasm did noting but show how angry he was. Laying there on the ground Joey stared at him with mock

surprise. "I was out takin' a walk...nothin..wrong with it.." He growled out before slowly sitting up his

cheeks and nose flashing a bright pink as Seto continued to stare at him. "I take it you're the regret that

ruined my window." Joey glanced at the car for a moment debating on whether or not he was going to try

and find a way out of this problem. "No..why would I do that.." Questioning he softly he rubbed at his

face with one hand hiding his embarrassment . A shadow fell over him and he stared up into a pair of

glaring blue eyes. "Because it's something a mutt like you would do." Seto grabbed onto his arm and

quickly yanked the other young man to his feet with a quick jerk, making Joey stammer. "Look I'm

sorry alright it was a honest mistake..."

{ Release and run to me you can't never look back to the visions from the past they fade and wilt in time. You've got to just trust me to hold your hand though, Then I turn and walk away,}

Seto raised a eyebrow at him before glancing back at his car slowly shaking his head. "You know your

going to have to pay for the damages correct." He muttered softly and looked back at Joey a small smirk

on his face. The blond laughed softly and brushed past him, "You got more then enough money to pay

for damages...Mr. Moneybags." Joey scoffed and looked at the street the beer bottle and smashed into

tiny red pieces and absently he hoped that maybe when Kaiba drove away the glass would flatten his

tires. "I'm sorry puppy but you can't always get away with the things you do. I mean I know your dumb

and pathetic but sometimes you must pay your dues." Running a hand through his brown hair Seto

watched the other for a moment, wondering how long it would take for him to run away. Surprisingly

Joey hadn't moved from the spot near his car. "Alright Kaiba, how am I suppose to pay my dues?" Now

he could say that he was truly shocked, Wheeler was actually owning up to something he did. "I don't

know I'll have to think of something." Going back over to his car he dug around in his trench pocket

looking for his keys. It had been a rough day and he couldn't wait to go home and possibly get some

sleep. The weekends were something he lived for now-a-days. "Here I'll give you a ride home or

whatever." Making a face at his own kindness Seto unlocked his door and slid inside the corvette, and

waited for the other to enter. "Come on puppy I don't got all night!" Joey stood by the passenger side,

golden eyes wide with shock. The CEO had never been this kind to him in- fact sometimes he thought

that Kaiba downright hated his guts. It was a well known fact that they didn't get along with each other,

his hand moved to touch the handle of the door. "Ahh what the hell you only live once right." He

muttered and moved to open the door. With a quiet sigh he slid into the car and sat there in the complete

darkness, Kaiba's blue eyes staring at him for a moment. "It took you long enough puppy.." Joey made a

face and leaned against the cool leather of the seat wanting to get this ride over with. Wait..where do I

want to go I mean I can't go home..He thought and sighed softly and looked over at Seto. {Eclipse you, And bleed you strip you of your states of ain soph aur, Eclipse you, I spit up on my plate and I push everything away I need And we sever all ties, It creates disruption midst circle of friends It become the sacrifice Spare your life and leave me to my misery..}

"I should just go...I mean I have no where for you to drop me off at." Joey muttered softly and looked out

the window suddenly wanting to be back outside. "Then you can just come to my house. I sure my little

brother would just adore the company." Seto responded quietly as he jammed the keys into the ignition,

pulling out of the space he flew down the street. Grabbing onto the seat absently the blond closed his

eyes a bit hoping that the nightmare would be over soon, being in the car with Kaiba wasn't exactly a

safe thing. Chuckling quietly the CEO moved to place a cd into the player and Disturbed blasted through

the speakers as he turned sharply making Joey fly against the door. "What ya trying to do kill me!" The

blond boy asked and shot a glare over at him which made the other smirk. "How did you ever guess my

plan?" Seto muttered almost under his breath, before returning his gaze to the road. Sitting up again Joey

rubbed the back of his head before curling into a ball. "I am sorry for damaging your car Kaiba." He

spoke softly almost to himself, only a year or so ago he would have laughed at himself. Joey Wheeler

never ever said sorry to anyone for anything. Tristan would be laughing his ass off, if he knew about this

entire situation. "Aww, the puppy is sorry...should I give him a milkbone." Kaiba snorted and came to a

stop outside of his mansion. Reaching up he pushed a button on a small controller and the metal gates

slowly swung open. "Screw you Kaiba." Parking the corvette the young billionaire leaned back in his

seat. "Well, let me think of a way to get my payment back. Since I already know you don't have enough

money to pay for any expenses we'll have to think of something different. Oh I know what you can

do...you can be my personal assistant." Joey frowned and looked at him still a bit confused. "What do

you mean by assistant?" He questioned and raised a eyebrow at him. "Basically a sexual slave."

{Get off the cross, and save yourself, run away}

Looking at the blonds startled expression Seto chuckled and got out of his car. He walked towards the

front door of the large mansion. A lot of his business partners thought him foolish for owning such a

expensive house when only two people lived there. He on the other hand just wanted the best for himself

and his younger brother, and he'd do anything to acquire what he wanted. Drifting out of his thoughts he

turned towards the car blue eyes narrowing slightly as he watched Joey, the other boy was still sitting

there a dumb expression on his face. For a moment he thought it was quite cute but then he scowled. He

didn't have any feelings for the dumb mutt he just wanted someone around to torment and to release

some sexual tension. The best part was he couldn't knock Joey up. Finally the door opened and the blond

approached almost timidly his head lowered eyes staring at the ground. "So I take it your accepting your

payback mutt?" Joey just shook his head a little still not meeting the others gaze as he moved towards

Kaiba slowly. "What other choice do I got? My father will beat the shit outta me if he would get a bill in

the mail..." Trailing off into silence he raised his head golden eyes meeting blue. "Good boy." Seto

chuckled and opened the front doors, "Well, go on puppy.." He smirked and watched Joey walk past him

slowly. Entering after him, Seto turned and closed the doors and put the lock in place. He took off his

shoes and trench coat before moving up the stairs. Mokuba was sitting by himself in the living room, the

televison was on and the boy had a controller in his hands. "Why are you still up Mokuba?" The older

Kaiba asked as he moved to see what the boy was playing. A pair of grey eyes glanced up and a smile

quickly crossed his face. "Seto..I missed you today.." He exclaimed and dropped the controller throwing

himself into his brothers arms. Catching the boy easily Seto held him close for a few moments a true

smile on his face as Mokuba snuggled against him. "Why did you stay at the company so late?" The boy

asked and looked up at his brother his grey eyes shining with delight. "I had a lot of work. Sorry little

brother." He replied and ran a hand through his brothers wild black hair. Joey watched them from a few

feet away thinking of his own sister. Serenity was probably worried sick over him being gone so long.

{Run now get away from me if I can get my grip I'll pull you down into the hell I call my head You'll never get away I sit down in my ugly place and build walls out of fragments from my past of all the people That I needed and loved that walked away}

It was ironic that he would be stuck here with Seto doing whatever he wanted and deep down he didn't

care. He never really thought much of his sexuality. A main part of him was afraid to go digging around

not sure as to what he may find. His father would flip out on him if he did end up being gay, another

reason he was afraid of the possiblity. It had been a long time since his father had gotten angry enough to

punch him or his sister and he didn't want to cause that again. This time it would be his fault if his

family split up. Finally Seto had pulled away from his brother and had turned to look at the puppy that

was still standing near the door. "Are you alright puppy?" He asked with fake concern as he watched the

other with his intense blue eyes. Mokuba peered around his brothers legs and smiled happily. "Hey Joey

what brings you here..." He asked and moved to go over to him much to his older brothers disgust.

Forcing a smile to his face, Joey looked at the young Kaiba. "Kaiba invited me over to play some

games." Speaking softly he shudder inwardly at the lie he had just told. "Yeah they were gonna play

some games, most he wouldn't enjoy. "That's cool." Mokuba said and shrugged his thin shoulders before

returning to Kaiba's side. "Go play your game Mokuba and don't stay up to late." Hearing that deep

rumble of a voice Joey looked at Kaiba again. Not understanding why the CEO would want to do

anything with him, let alone have sex. Biting down on his lower lip he shifted his weight around as he

watched the other man approach. "Come on Joey, lets go play some games ne?" Seto whispered his lips

brushing against the blond's ear. Sighing in defeat, Joey turned to follow him up the stairs trying to keep

his thoughts to himself. This was just a form of payback since he had damaged his car. Why did I have to

kick that beer bottle? Damn...Frowning at himself he stared at the steps not wanting to look at Kaiba

and realize what he was about to do. He didn't have to let this happen but the alternative was much

worse. His frown grew and he came to a stop as he heard Kaiba opening a set of doors. "Welcome to my

room puppy." Peering inside he felt knots forming in his stomach. Someone help me! {You've got to just trust me to hold your hand through then I'll turn and walk away.}

The room was beautiful. Down in many shades of black, blue and grey, a large statue of Blue Eyes was

centered in the middle of the large room. It's angry eyes glowing a dark sapphire. "Wow...that must have

cost a bundle.." Joey whistled and winced as a light was turned on. Kaiba's bedroom was a lot bigger in

the light. Not to mention the Blue Eyes looked even more real to him and he had a slight urge to touch

it. "Depends on what you consider a fortune mutt." Seto muttered and pushed the doors closed behind

him, smirking he leaned back against the wall just watching what the other boy was doing. After a few

moments he got annoyed and moved behind him carefully wrapping his arms around his waist.. "Are you

afraid of me..." He whispered and nibbled gently on Joey's ear his smirk growing as he felt the boy

shudder. Joey snorted softly and moved to pull away but was yanked backwards. "No Kaiba I am not

afraid of you. I never have feared you." His voice responded and he let his eyes close as he felt the other

boys lip trailing down his neck in hot sucking kisses. It felt almost to good and he tried to ignore it

mentally telling himself that he wasn't gay and that this was just a dream. A soft gasp escaped him as

Seto's teeth dug into his neck leaving a red bite mark. "Hmm...for a poor mutt you sure do taste good."

Silently, Seto clenched his hands into the other boys waist pressing him tightly against his own body,

letting Joey feel his awakening desire for him. Another startled gasp was his reward. "You want this

don't you puppy.." Biting down on his neck again for good measure he pushed the smaller boy

towards the large expensive bed. "Not really but what choice do I have."
