This is something that I started writing when I was bored at school one day. To those of you who have actually read Taken Not Killed and is just as pissed about it being taken off. I am truly sorry for that because it is my fault that it happened. It will take a while to repost it because there are a lot of changes that I have to make. But I will get it up as soon as possible.
Well any way this is something new and I hope you like it.
Introducing Blue Eyes.
Little side note. Thoughts will be in 'single quotes' and the mind answering will be in italics.
'How could I have let this happen? How could I have been so stupid?' Because, you're a sucker for blue eyes that's why.
Jounouchi Katsua was thinking to himself as eh walked down the streets of Domino. It was poring rain but he didn't seem to notice. H just walked on the sidewalks like he would any other time; in a complete daze. His thoughts and feelings swimming around in his head. His mind not being able to hold onto just one to think it through enough. A clap of thunder brought him out of his daze only long enough for him to realize that he was close to his old apartment building.
He figured that no one would have moved into it because of its lousy condition. Holes in the walls, stains on the carpet, and not to mention the hot water didn't work worth of shit. He went over to the door and opened it remembering that the security system didn't work. He walked up the steps and to apartment 12b. He opened the door and looked around.
"Just as he left it. Stupid bum." Jou said aloud.
He walked into the kitchen area and looked at the broken refrigerator handles, and dents in the door. He shook his head and went down the hall. He stopped in front of his father's bedroom door. He had always wondered what was in the room but had never had the courage to go in and find out. Now that his father as in prison there was no need to worry about him finding him in the room. He slowly opened the door not really know what to expect.
When the door was fully opened what he saw shocked him. There was an old woman about 65 asleep on the tattered bed. He watched her chest rise and fall in a steady motion. He was shocked that anyone could eve live there any more. He walked over to the bed and looked at her wrinkled face. She looked so kind and friendly, 'How could she live in a place like this?'
He stood up and left the room and went two doors down from his father's room. 'Well here's the old torture chamber.' He thought and opened the door to his room.
Memories came flooding back as he walked into the room. He looked at the ratty looking bed and almost started crying. He couldn't even count the number of times his dad came in during the night when he was a kid. It had been 10 years since he had been in high school but the memories were in his mind like they happened yesterday.
A creak of a floorboard made him turn. A heavy shovel connected with his head and he fell to the floor unconscious. (A/N: I should stop the story right here but I will not be that mean.)
When he woke he was tied to a chair. He looked around and started to panic. Memories flooded back and he squirmed to get loose.
"Oh stop that god damn squirming and tell me who you are, and why you are in my house."
Jou looked up to see the old women from the bedroom. She looked down at him, tapping her slippers on her feet in inpatients.
"Well are you going to answer me or am I going to have to hit you again?" She asked raising the shovel.
"My name is Jounouchi Katsua and I used to live in this apartment." He replied whimpering slightly out of fear of being hit again.
"Oh so you are the one that left that big mess here. Well I'll tell you that it took me 2 months to get the blood stains out of the carpet." She snapped at him with a stern look on her face.
"Well I'm afraid that the blood was mine but I didn't spill it." Jou couldn't believe he was about to tell a complete stranger what his darkest secret was. "My father used to beat or rape me pretty much every night. Well except when he was too drunk or high to move properly. That is how the blood got on the floor and the holes in the walls got there." Jou managed to tell his story with out crying but now the tears were starting to flow.
The old woman dropped her shovel and walked over to him. She got on her knees and lifted his chin so he was looking her in the eyes. She leaned over and enveloped him in a life saving embrace. Jou was so shocked but her sudden kindness to him, but he put his head on her shoulder and just cried till he couldn't anymore. When he finally stopped the rain was just a small downpour with no thunder or anything else, just the soft pitter-patter of water on the window.
The woman got off her knees with a little bit of difficulty and walked behind him and started to undo the ropes that held him to the chair. He quickly pulled his hands in font of his fact to look at his raw wrists. When he looked up at her she was moving out into the hallway. He got up quickly and followed her. Eh he got into the kitchen he saw her getting some wine out of the fridge.
"I didn't think that my story would affect you that much." Jou said in a joking tone.
"Well let's just say that I have heard some pretty bad stories but yours has got to be the worst." She replied.
"I am very glad that you brought that out. You just made me realize how thirsty I am." Jou said walking over to her.
"Well that is none for you if you aren't 21." She said pulling the bottle away. "My name is Cathy by the way."
"Nice to meet you Cathy." Jou said holding out his hand.
She smiled and shook hands with him. She then put the bottle back in the fridge and sat down at the table. Jou looked at her and smiled then went and joined her.
"So." She began after taking a sip of her wine. "Why are you out in this kind of weather at this time of night?"
"Well, I got into a fight with my boyfriend and I just needed to get out of the house." Jou replied.
"Ah, so you are one of the curved ones eh?" She asked raising her eyebrow.
Jou then started to laugh.
"What
is so funny?" She asked looking at him again.
"Nothing.
It's just that it's been a long time since anyone has ever
referred to me being gay like that before." Jou said still
chuckling slightly.
"Well tell me about the fight you had." She said taking another sip of her wine.
"Well it's a long story." Jou replied signing slightly.
"I'll give you a glass of wine if you tell." She said getting up to go to the fridge again.
"Oh alright you talked me into it." Jou replied chuckling again.
She walked to the cupboard to get him a glass. When she poured the wine she put the bottle away and walked back to the table with it.
"But it will be just this one alright." She said putting the glass down in front of him.
Jou took a small sip of the wine and sighed. Hating to have to remember the fight so soon.
"Well it started like this."
Flashback (Jou is telling the women while remembering just so you guys know. But I though it would be more interesting to write it this way.)
"How could you do this to me?" Jou asked.
"Very easily. You were a toy and now I'm done playing." Seto replied coldly.
"You're lying! I know that you still love me!" Jou screamed at him tears running down his cheeks.
"I'm not lying! All you are is a pathetic little puppy that I had to break and now that you are broken I'm done with you." Seto said narrowing his eyes into his infamous glare.
"SETO STOP IT!" Jou got on the floor. "Please don't tell me that. I know that you love me!"
Seto kicked Jou away from him and glared at him in disgust.
"Stop begging like a dog. We both know that you are one but don't prove it further." Seto said in the most disgusted tone he could muster.
'Why are you doing this to him Seto? You love him why push him away? Because it is what is best for him. I have to hurt him in order to save him. My father is going to be on probation soon and I can't have Jou here to get hurt. Trust me it is for his own good. His yes, but what about your own good? Don't you count for anything? What is more important? My life or Jou's? What would you do in this situation?' (Just so you know Jou doesn't know that Seto is thinking this. I just put it in here so you guys know why Seto is pushing Jou away. I just hope you understand.)
"Seto are you listening to me?" Jou asked looking at him in a pleading way.
"Give me a reason to mutt." Seto spat.
Jou was so taken back by that comment that he just stood there.
"Get out of my sight you mongrel." Seto said turning his back to Jou.
Jou grabbed his coat and ran from the house.
End of Flashback
"Oh you poor child." Cathy said in her sympathetic tone.
"Yeah. I just never expected Seto to do something like that." Jou said a few tears running down his cheeks. "We were so happy together that I just didn't see it coming. I don't know why he would jus suddenly want me out of his life."
"Oh honey." Cathy said getting up from her chair and going to Jou.
"Why am I so stupid? I always fall for the blue eyed ones, and he has got as blue of eyes as any." Jou was surprises when Cathy laid a swift, hare slap on his left cheek.
"Don't you dare blame yourself for what he did to you. Don't you dare!" Cathy said in a very stern tone.
"I just wand to know why he just decided that he hated me. That is the only real question on my mind right now." Jou said putting his head in his hands.
"Maybe you should go to him and ask." She said putting her hand on his back.
His head snapped up and he looked at her.
"You know what. I think that I will. I will go to the house and I will talk to him." Jou said standing up.
"You go get your man back tiger." She said pulling him into a hug.
"Thank you for all your help." Jou said as she pulled away, "and for the drink." He said downing the rest of the wine.
"No problem kid." She said as Jou walked out the door.
Well that is the end of chapter 1. I hope that you enjoyed reading it as much as I liked writing it.
