Chapter 1

Joey Wheeler was laying on the top bunk in the prison cell that he has spent the last fifteen years in. Fifteen long years. He laid there awake and thinking. Thinking of what had lead him to this point and where he would he go from this point. After all he was being released in the morning.

Joey though of his past. He thought of his family and his so called best friend, Tristan Taylor.
Joey's childhood had been a happy one for a short time. A happy time before his bitch of a mother broke their family up. She said it was because of his father's drinking. She said could not take it any more so left with his baby sister, Serenity. She left him with drunken father. A father that slowly start to turn into an abuser. That was when he was six.

From the point his mother and sister left Joey's life slowly went down the shithole. He started to steal just about anything he wanted. He started stealing small things like a candy bar or a soda. But he than started to steal more items and more expensive items.
Around the age of fourteen he joined a gang. There he learned a lot. He also learn what it meant to be part of family that cared for you. It was during this time that he meet Mutou and his little group of good doers. True it was during school but Joey knew he would need some kind of education to make it out there in the world. It was also when his obsession with Seto started.
True he meet the guy in middle school but that was a time when he had only one friend, Taylor. Everyone else was either an acquaintances or family like the gang.
By the time Joey was in high school he wanted more from Seto than just friendship. So hooking up with Mutous friendship group gave him more and more chances to be with Seto.

True when he first join up was because of guilt and gratefulness. Guilt from stealing and throwing away the last piece of the puzzle. He was grateful for the shrimp standing between Ushio and him and Taylor. True he should have been able to take the guy out but at that time he hadn't and the shrimp saved him. So he hooked up with that gang.
But the friendship speeches they all gave slowly started to get to Joey. True Joey his own fair share but no one could out do Mutou and his speeches. Yet Gardner got called Friendship Bitch behind her back.
True the girl did give them. Like the one she gave to Mai during their one and only duel. But she still paled when measured up to Mutou.
Besides that and all the good deeds they did Joey stayed. He quit the first gang to join the second one full time. True it was a painful and almost got him killed but worth it for Joey. Being close to Seto was all that matter by this point in his life.

Once high school was over the gang stayed in touch and grew by three. The darks got their own bodies. That was thanks to Ishtar.
It would seem the heir to the a clan of tomb keepers missed his insane other half. After finding a spell to bring his dark back he talk to Mutou and Bakura about theirs. They both wanted their darks back as well.
Joey wasn't sure what happen as he wasn't there to watch it. All the other knew was that one night the other went over to Ishtar's place for the spell to happen. The next morning the Pharaoh aka Atemu, the Thief King aka Akifa, the last one being called Tomb keeper aka Marik were back.

Nothing much seem to happen after that with the gang. There were no more bad guys to fight using a children card game to defeat them with. Whenever Joey thinks back onto those time it was shocking and amazing to him how they were able to do that time and time again. You would think that someone would have come along to try and take over the world with out using a deck of cards.
Like he thought nothing was going on at this point. Yes Gardner had left for New York to try and achieve her dreams of dance. Joey didn't know if she did nor did he care to know. Mutou, Bakura, and Ishtar had gone to college while the Pharaoh would run the shop, Tomb keeper was keep busy with work in the Egyptian part of the museum and the Thief King would bring home money the only way he knew how. Hay the guy was still living up to his old name and had yet to be caught. Everyone also knew the British speaking one of the two would not turn his dark in.

This was also when Joey started to truly stalk Seto. Taking pictures and collect just about anything from Seto or about the guy.
Joey had only being during it for a few short years before the small Kaiba got in the way. That small shithead had stole his Seto from him.
So Joey had try to give rid of him. 'That went so well.' Joey though sarcastically.
That was when his life seem to go down the shithole at a faster rate. With Joey ending up in prison for fifteen years. But in the morning he would be a free man. He also knew what he would have to do next.

It was two months later. Joey was laying on the bed of his one room apartment. He was still in Tokyo and living in the slums of the city.
He worked the streets at night to get some cash. It was one of the quickest was to make some money. And he needed money and fast.
True did get him into a few fights with the ladies of the night. They getting upset because he would work their corner and or stole a few of their johns. He even had to fight a few pimps that was trying to hire him then kill him when Joey would turn them down. One fight almost cost Joey his life.
As he laid there he thought of all he would do when he got home. Of who he would see first. Who he would most likely kill first.
"Either Devlin or Mokuba." Joey mumbled to himself. Joey had no real trouble with Devlin. In fact Joey could careless about a person. The only reason he was on his hit list was because he had hooked up with Taylor. The two had gotten together sometime while Joey was behind bars and gotten married. The first ones out of their group. The only ones really that could.

The Mutous, Bakuras, and Ishtars couldn't because they looked like twin brothers of each other. Mokuba and Seto could not because they are brothers.
Taylor and Devlin would the last in their group to have a child as well.

The other three in their group had one or more kids. The Mutous had a boy and girl. The girl was first. She looked like Atemu but her tri-color hair laid flat and not sticking up in a star shape like her parents. Her name was Hana and she was fifteen. Their second child was a boy named Masahiro and he was thirteen. He looked just like Yugi.
The Bakuras had a boy that they named Kuro. He looked like Akifa and he was also fifteen.
The Ishtars had three kids and they were all girls. A set of fifteen year old twins named Aziz and Habibah. Their third and last kid was named Layla and she was thirteen.

Joey knew all this because of the media coverage of the couples. The media had a field day when the Kaibas had release a statement about a new drug that would help same sex couple have a kid. Then they went on to let it be known who the couples were that had tried the drug and how the kids were during. So the kids were famous just because of who their parents were.

Joey closed his honey brown eyes to get some sleep. He did have a rough night and tomorrow night might be just as rough. At least he hope so. After all the more customers ha had the more money he got. Or if he only had one john then he hoped that he would be into some kinky stuff. Those pay very well. All Joey kept in his mind during night like tonight was that he had to get as much money as fast as possible so he could get back to Seto.
