Chapter Three: The Problem With Past Lives, Is They Come Back…

Seto's P.O.V.
The morning sun felt nice today, so warm. For once, I actually could not wait to open my eyes, if only to see the sun get outmatched by his wonderful hair. But since Kaiba Corp. was closed for the next two days, due to the meteor shower, I get to sleep in. Plus, to be quite honest, I am still quite tired from carrying Joey yesterday.

Recalling yesterday, fear started to rise in me once more. What happened to him? What made him so sick? I decided to add calling the doctor to the top of my list of things to do. I cannot hold off on my excitement, or my worry, any longer. So I opened my eyes, but rather than the blonde I was expecting, I saw me.

Joey's P.O.V.
I am trying to process what I had just heard, seemed like an impossible task. Meeting my past life is hard enough, but telling me that he loved past Seto, and that he gave up his life to let Seto live a full one is amazing. The part about us being together, however, that I need to process.

"Do not worry…past me, I completely understand why you did what you did. I do not hate you for making me dependent on Seto to live. It sounds like a great life, If I did not plan on leaving when I wake up." The look on his face showed shock, yet, understanding at the same time.

"Why would you leave him? He obviously cares about us?" The poor guy, I felt sorry for him. He obviously wants me to be happy, but he has to know, I am the same as him.

"I am going to leave him because you gave up your life so your Seto could have a better one. I am going to do the same, I love him too much to let my past to destroy his reputation. The spell said there is a chance he could fall for someone else, they will be better for him then me. What I want most is him to be happy, to have a good life, and he cannot have that with me." Other me looked like he wanted to protest, but, he nodded and drifted away.

Waking up in his arms is something that I could have gotten used to very quickly. Thanks to his touch, I was fully charged. While explaining our illness, past me used a rechargeable battery as an example and it stuck. I placed my lips on his, left him a thank you note, and left the room. Once I was out of his house I began to run, I had no idea where, I just knew I had to get far away from him. Far enough so when the pain started to hurt to much, I could not go back.

Seto's P.O.V.
As if seeing and talking to past me was not enough of a shock. I have to learn that my puppy is going to die in a day and a half, unless, I do something. I sat down to process this information, past me continued saying stuff.

"I am sorry that I am not more help. I can only go on what the witch, who gave us a new life, said and she was severely lacking in details." He sighed and sat next to me.

"It is okay; she sounds like a bitch." He smirked at me, now I get why that scares people.

The story of him and his Joey was quite beautiful. On the day Joey was due to choose a wife, past me devised a plan to steal Joey away, and convince him that they should be together. He thought that they should live alone together in some forest. The problem was, Joey did not know past me was in love with him, and he did not know if past joey loved him. During his time love between two men was unspeakable.

When past me arrived at the place he wanted to confess, some cliff with a great view of the forest, he fell to his death. The next thing he remembers is the witch. She explained that his Joey gave up his life to save us, and gave him, some, details about the curse.

"So to break the curse, I have to confess my love for Joey and him to me, before tomorrow. If I do not, or if he rejects us, he dies. Finally, to top it off, I have to be touching him every half hour or he runs out of life force and dies?" Past me looked pleased.

"Precisely, it is good to see we are still brilliant." Did he really think I was stupid; I was not the one who fell from a cliff….

"So, will past Joey be filling in my Joey on all of this?" He thought for a second, then looked really sad.

"I am pretty sure, but to be honest, I have not seen my Joey since that day." I felt the need to comfort myself, since I knew I needed that every once and a while.

"Do not be sad…me…Kaiba's never show weakness. I am sure once I get my Joey, you will get yours." That really perked him up, all he tried to due after was to get me to leave, not that I argued.

Once I felt familiar sheets on my skin, the excitement began to build once more. But, when I opened my eyes I was met with disappointment, again. Once that pasted, I began to worry about my puppy. Looking around I spotted a note on my desk and began to read it:

Dear Kaiba,

Thank you for everything yesterday. No one has done so much for me before. I hope you had your spiritual meeting with your past self, or this letter will make you think I am crazier than you already do.

I have chosen to not listen to mine, my past self I mean, as I am guessing you did with yours. You always said no one runs your life besides you, so I decided I would use the time I had left to repay you for your help. If you know our story like I do, then you will understand what I mean when I say, history will be repeating itself. I do not want you to feel guilty or any obligation to save me or help me live. I do not wish to ruin your reputation or cause any trouble for you. I just want to save you again.

I wish you a full and happy life, goodbye Seto.

Joey

After reading the letter a few times, I could not believe my eyes. I felt the fear rise in me once more, I checked the time and cursed. "Fuck! How long has he been gone!"

I quickly get dressed and run out. I just found the love of, well, my lives and I will be damned If we lose him again. "I am coming for you Joey. I am never leaving you alone again!"


A-Note: So I am super proud of myself :P With this rewrite I was determined to make Seto answer what Joey asked at the end of chapter two and I did :D I really thought that was sweet :P Hope you peoples liked it :D
