The sun shined through the curtains and flashed briefly at joeys eyes. He slowly woke; what happened yesterday? "that man...kch!" he groaned suddenly. His head was throbbing wildly , it seems those pills he took didn't have an effect. He looked around and noticed how beautiful the room was. Silk linen sheets, European style furniture, a marble bathroom...wherever he was, It looked like a dream. He got up and stumbled into the hall way. "i might as well find out where I am..."
"MOKUBA. Come on, we are going to be late!"
"coming big brother!"
Joey hid at the top of the stairs at the sound of voices, then cautiously, the blonde peered down at the raven haired teen and his master Seto. "he has a brother...?" joey thought. They didn't look like each other. The smaller one had big wide eyes, black hair, and he was very short. Then, joey trailed over to Kaiba. He had broad shoulders, flawless chestnut hair and a sexy commanding voice. Joey shivered, they definitely were different. "how about joey?" Mokuba asked worryingly.
"hes sleeping Mokie, we we'll be back from school before he wakes up." they raced out the door and joey followed quietly. "school? Whats a 'school'? It sounds dangerous..." joey interpreted by the way they were so anxious to get out of the house. "I'd better follow to make sure my master is ok."
Oblivious, the puppy, still in his Pj's, followed them to the limousine and silently snuck into the trunk. All the while thinking, "I wonder what this 'school' is like...?"
Setos POV
He was confident that something was off by the time he left he house, but, the millionaire just couldn't be sure. "you are late again, Mr. Kaiba.: Seto smiled smugly. "you do remember who's writing your paychecks Ms. Miamoto. Am I right?" she was silenced. "T-turn to chapter three class..." she stuttered. Seto grinned, "that's what I thought." he muttered. It was hard for him to focus on his studies, let alone do anything productive in class. Joey didn't remember him. He didn't remember anything and that ticked the CEO off to no end. It wasn't his fault, but still, what could cause him to forget such a huge chapter in his life? Whatever it was, he was certain he would find out. Sooner, rather then later. But, the brunet had this fear in the back of his mind...that maybe, his puppy would never remember. He looked around. Yugi was fidgeting in his seat nervously, glancing back and forth at joeys empty seat. 'he knows something,' a voice inside him echoed, and Seto knew as soon as the bell rings he would corner the duelist and make him say everything that he knew.
Well, that was the plan, until he suddenly heard a familiar yelp of panic. "Mr, Mr. Wheeler c-calm down!" Seto froze as the door swung open and he watched an official drag joey into the classroom. Now, he wasn't so mad that his dog snuck out of the house, but, that someone was laying their hands on HIS joey. Ya, emphasis on HIS.
"Mr. wheeler was found wandering the halls...in his Pajamas." the man grumbled distastefully and left the room. The puppy was looking around frantically in search of something familiar. His ears perked up when he suddenly spotted Kaiba. 'Just like a pup...'
"Master Seto!" the teen exclaimed cheerfully and everyone burst into laughter. Yugi was rigid in his seat. Kaiba flushed and gave everyone a death glare. Oh if looks could kill. "joey, why are you here...?" Kaiba tried to asked softly. Joey smiled, "I followed you here because I was worried. I have to protect my Master...after all..." he blushed.
Kaiba didn't know how much restraint he had left in him! If it weren't for the student and teacher, there would be nothing holding him knack from ravishing the man right then and there. He took a deep breath. "I'm not in trouble. But, I am in school right now. Take a seat behind me puppy." joey agreed happily and sat down. Yugi was the first to speak. "Joey...are, you ok?' he asked. Joey beamed, "I'm more than ok now that master is safe!" Kaiba slapped his forehead.
"back to the lesson. Mr wheeler I am too impatient and I have an aching headache so PLEASE spare me the theatrics today. Whats the answer to the problem in the book before you RUDLEY interrupted?" joey squinted. Kaiba groaned, he hadn't told the school yet about joeys little...problem. "um...what are all da numbers for?"
the teacher gaped at him disbelievingly, "Mr. Wheeler, are you High?!"
Joey looked around and chucked: "well, that's a silly question, cause I'm siting down." insert goofy smile here.
This was going to be a LONG day...
It was hard to explain it to the teachers, but, it was even harder to keep the blonde from jumping around so much. Kaiba observed joey; he was like a kid in a candy store. "Master whats dat!" he pointed excitedly at the art room. Joey really did resemble a puppy. Kaiba could imagine his tail wagging wildly, what with all his constant excitement.
He sighed as they reached the lunchroom. That's when chaos broke loose. "wow! Wow! This stuff smells great!" joey bellow. Kaiba gave another exaggerated sigh. "I assume you don't remember but you use to hate school."
Joey gasped, "how could I hate it? This place is da best!" joeys enthusiasm was strange, but at least he was happy. They sat down and Kaiba got him a tray of food as the girls in the cafeteria gawked. No one sat next to Seto Kaiba, he always sat by himself. "here." Seto motioned and he opened the blondes mouth slowly. "mm? Nnh!" the blonde gasped as a little spoonful of ice cream made its way to his tongue. He swirled it around his tongue and moaned slightly as the sweet taste of the dairy product engulfed his senses. Kaiba tried not to get turned on but the way his puppy was sucking the cream and constantly licking his lips...Kaiba had something other than ice cream in mind.
It wasn't till much later that the pup calmed down, and that was when they were finally heading home. Joey was leaning against the brunets chest, his eyes drifting open and closed. 'did you have a good day..."
"mm..." the blonde murmured and snuggled closer to Seto. "I'm really glad I met you...master..." and suddenly he was fast asleep. The limo made a slight turn and the blondes head fell on his lap. Seto stiffened then relaxed suddenly, softly caressing joeys cheek and running his fingers though his puppies golden locks. Would joey still feel the same when he gets his memory back? The brunet didn't know how long this bliss would last. Yugi disappeared earlier that day, but the CEO knew the duelist was connected to his pups beating. Tomorrow, Seto was going to find out once in for all who did this to joey.
"ice cream..." joey murmured softly.
Seto smiled, but for now, he would just relish in this moment...
Later that night, darkness swept over the mansion, welcoming a cool breeze. It wasn't long after they reached home when Seto Kaiba started working on the computer as his puppy slept, researching all he could on joeys background. Since he was in no position to ask the teen himself, and joey was in no condition to answer, he knew he had know choice but to use his influence to search through joeys personal files. Kaiba grinned at the goofy picture in joeys profile. It was just like his pup to not take a photo shoot seriously, (even thought he didn't realize it himself.) joey stirred, "cafeteria...food...g-good." then he went back to sleep again, Kaiba smiled complacently, maybe he should take his pup to school more often. Suddenly the phone rang.
"Mr Kaiba there is a visitor outside."
the CEO sighed, took one last look at his sleeping angel, and left the room, cursing at whomever had interrupted his 'private time'. "Big brother, Yugi is here!" Seto smirked, so much for researching.
The timid duelist stepped in slowly and politely smiled at Mokuba. "hey Yugi!" he beamed. Yugi just nodded and suddenly things got deathly quiet. "you need to talk to me?" seto asked softly. He knew if he wanted to get the information he sought he had to be patient with the rival duelist. "Mokuba can you give me some time to talk to Yugi." he murmured. The boy backed out of the room and the waterworks were about to begin. "I am r-really worried about joey!" the boy sobbed and kaiba listened intently. "do you know anything about the beating he took yesterday?"
the teen nodded and a deep scowl formed along the lines of seto's lips. "tell me everything you know."
And he did.
Kaiba couldn't believe what he was hearing as the duelist went on and on about joeys father, and the problems hes had with joey. "one time, he came to school with a twisted ankle but he wouldn't tell me what happened." Yugi sniffed. "so I followed him...and I saw his dad pulling him into the house and screaming at him in broad daylight." Seto couldn't take it. In fact, hearing anymore was going to make his stomach sick. He already could tell joey was being abused. But for how long? All this time hed been picking fights with the pup but he was already fighting a battle of his own.
Seto smiled sourly,
"where does this mr wheeler live...?'
It was time to pay him a little visit....
