Chapter 2

Yugi walk through the empty hall way with some papers in hand. He was told to print them out for class tomorrow. He sighed, "I guess he's not Joey." He thought back to what Joey had said during lunch. He stopped and looks out the window towards the sky, "Where are you Joey?"

"I got it." He turns to the classroom beside him. / I thought I heard someone. / He walks towards the classroom and quietly slides it open. He spotted Xiao Feng near the window with his phone on speaker. He was smiling. Yugi could feel his heart sank all of a sudden, and he knew why. / That was Joey's smile. / A drop of tears escaped his eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He snaps out of his thoughts and realize that Xiao Feng was staring. He quickly wipes away his tears, "It's nothing."

"Is it because I look like Joey?" Xiao Feng asks with a stare. Yugi look away, "What is it with you?" Joey eyed him confusingly. Yugi turn around and left the confused Xiao Feng behind.

"Xiao Feng? Are you there? Hello?" Xiao Feng turned to the phone, "Sorry, I was just talking to someone else. Don't worry about me big brother. I'm fine with everything's that's going on. Right now, just concentrate on your engagement."

"You don't have to tell me twice. Anyway, Elle and I will be in Japan starting next month for the engagement ceremony, you had better join us this time."

"Got it. Later," he hung up and sighed heavily. / Damn, another matchmaker. / He looks out into the courtyard and smirk all of a sudden. / I might as well invite some people with me. /


"What?" Yugi asked in shock along with all his friends. They were just hanging out talking about Joey when Xiao Feng showed up.

"Like I said I would like to invite you all to my brother's engagement ceremony that will be held in one month from now" Joey explained in annoyance of having to repeat himself. The gang looked at each other and back to him. "Sure, we would like to join you," Yami replied unhappy.

Xiao Feng beamed happily, "Then I'll send you all an invitation soon." He was about to leave when Yugi stop him. "Would you like to… hang out with us for a bit?" he asked, a little nervous. Xiao Feng look at him then to the group then back to him and smiled, "Why not."

After two hours of playing video games and duel monster the gang finally settled down for talking. They sat around the living room, just chatting away. "So, Jo- uh I mean Xiao Feng, why did you decide to study in Japan?" Tea asked.

"My father thought it would be a good experience to know about other cultures," he answered looking at her. She nodded and turned back to talking to Ryou.

"Can I ask you something?" Yami asked, serious. Xiao Feng looked at him and smile, "Go right ahead."

"Earlier today during lunch, your personality clearly said you hated us, so why it is that it's different now?" Yami went straight to the point. The gang stopped talking and all look at them. Xiao Feng continued to smile, "You're sharp aren't you? I'm surprised you caught on to it." His smile turns to a smirk, "Honestly I don't hate you at all. I was just pissed that people kept mistaking me for Joey. One thing about me is that I don't like being compare to someone or in your situation, mistaking for someone."

"Then what is the reason you invited us?" Yami continued.

Xiao Feng went back to smiling, "I just wanted to know you all that's all. Actually, I just wanted to hang out with you guys, so that you'll stop mistaking me for him."

Yugi touch his hand slightly to get his attention. He smiled, "Thank you." That was all he could really said. Yami sighed and gave a little smile. The gang grins and accepts him.

"Seto? What are you doing?" Mokuba asked his big brother as he enters his study room.

"Just looking through the invitation I got for an engagement ceremony." He answered not taking his eyes off the laptop screen.

"Who is it from?" Mokaba asked as he sat down on the couch.

"Li Yang, the billionaires from China," he answered again still not looking up.

"Are you going?" he asked. Kaiba finally look up from the screen.

"You want to go?" he asked his little brother. The kid beamed brightly, "Yeah! I have never been to a Chinese engagement ceremony before."

Kaiba smile, "Neither have I." just then he remembered about Xiao Feng, "Mokuba."

"Yes?" he answered.

"Do you…" he hates himself for this, "miss Joey?" He regretted asking so badly as soon as he seen the sad expression on his brother's face.

"I… miss him a lot," he answered in tears, "I want to see Joey so badly, Seto! Why? Why did he have to be gone?" The kid broke into a loud wail. Kaiba got up from his seat and walk over to the couch. He put his arms around his little brother as he sat down and rocked him a bit to comfort him.

"I know," he whispered sadly, "I miss him too." It was true after all, Kaiba did miss the blond. No one, except Mokuba knew how he felt towards him. He had regretted not telling the blond how he felt when he knew the blond disappeared. He even had his own search team trying to locate Joey, but failed miserably. "I met someone who looks just Joey," he voiced it out before he could even react.

Mokuba sprung out of his arms and stared at him in shocked. "Where?" he ask in disbelief.

"At school," he answered, not even bothering to hide anything. He rather get hurt than let his brother suffer, "Though he might not be him either."

"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion.

Kaiba sighed, "He's the son of Li Yang. His brother, Yuen, was the one getting engaged in one month time."

Mokuba sunk to his knees. "Mokuba!" Kaiba said in concerned as he bend down beside his brother. Mokuba look up at him with teary eyes, "But, he is Joey right?"

Kaiba didn't know how to explain this. He doesn't want to hurt his little brother more than he had already. "Say something Seto," he demanded.

The older Kaiba pull his brother into a tight hug, "Just wait, alright? I'll give you an answer when I know it myself."
