Disclaimer/Warning: Same as last chapter what makes you think it will change? I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh because if I did there would be Puppyshipping, puzzleshipping, tendershipping, and various others. There is still abuse, depression, and swearing.
Last time: As I went to bed I swear I could hear shadows whispering, "Come join us. There'll be no more pain." I went to sleep with that thought in mind.
Normal POV
Four people suddenly had chills as Jou passed out. They didn't know he passed out though. Yami, Bakura, Marik, and Seto all felt chills down their spines. Except they all reacted differently. Yami tried to place where the disturbance could be coming from, but he didn't have much luck. He tried and failed many times before Yugi woke up next to him saying, "You can check it in the morning. Maybe then you'll have a better chance finding it." Nodding his head in agreement they went back to sleep together. Bakura felt the chill and woke Ryou up "I have to go check on something" was the only thing he said before slipping into the night. Marik who wasn't as psycho anymore but still psychotic enough didn't bother. What was he going to do it was the middle of the night. Seto immediately worried. After seeing Jou's scars he was on the verge of flipping out. No one touched his pup! Yet he didn't know where to look or even if his conclusion was right. Doing a search on Jou and his medical history Seto stayed up practically all night. (a/n not like he was sleeping anyways….) For those who had gone to sleep it wasn't peaceful.
Seto's POV
I was just finished reading my pup's medical history which appalled me. He's gone to the hospital at least five times ever since he was twelve and his parents got a divorce. From what the medical reports said they were all for different causes. The first time was because he "accidentally" broke his leg and arm. The time after that it was for broken ribs. I cringed as it seemed to get worse each time he went. After the broken ribs he went for too much blood loss which made him faint and go into a temporary coma. After that was for being supposedly shot by a gang. Like I believe that he had been with Yugi tachi by that time. Finally the last time he went it was for multiple stab wounds. Reading this all night almost made me gag. I couldn't believe all the injuries that were reported. What about the ones that weren't reported? Could he have more injuries than the ones I saw? I started to worry more until Mokuba came running in saying, "Big brother it's time to get up!" "I'll be ready in a minute" I answered. Hugging me Mokuba looked at what I was doing. "Isn't that a file about Jou?" he asked smirking. Blushing a lot I told him, "Yes…but it's not what it looks like! Um…he was having troubles and I wanted to help…" After hearing that Mokuba let go and skipped around me singing, "Seto likes Jou! Seto likes Jou! Will he get his puppy to play with? It big brother of course!" before running out of the room. I yelled at him, "Shut up!" I was too embarrassed to say anything else.
Breakfast was okay we had waffles and Mokuba loaded his with whip cream, and strawberries. I had cinnamon flavor. I can't believe everyone says I don't eat. Well I'm not some robot. I do eat just not a lot at a time. After breakfast I had the limo take us to school. I was going to confront Jou today. Not just because I saw his bruises, but ever since that chill I've been even more worried about him. Of course I arrived early so I had to wait for him and his friends but I was hoping he would be alone…Even if he isn't I still need to talk to him. Getting up the courage I wait. I keep waiting even after the bell rings because he has been known to be late a lot. In fact it would be weird for him to be on time.
It's lunch time and he still isn't here I'm worried. Maybe I can get his friends to give me his address and pay him a visit. Going up to them I pretend to be cold and ruthless. It's not hard to do that since they aren't Jou. "Where's the mutt? At his trashy home? Sick? In a garbage can?" I ask rudely and they glare. Pointy hair (a/n not Yugi, or Yami...) boy says, "He doesn't live in a trash can! He lives in a better place than that!" I forget his name so whatever I keep calling him pointy hair guy. "Oh? Then where does the mutt live?" I ask glaring at him. Well I tried to look up his address but I couldn't find it, meaning he probably didn't live in the good neighborhood. "140 Jackson Lane apt 665!" annoying guy said. You know he really is stupid. More so than what I call Jou. Seriously, it's not like I'm not grateful but he told me exactly where Jou lives. Is he that much of an idiot? Yes, yes he is. "Whatever it's not much better." I reply. I left looking like I was furious but really I was contemplating how I'm going to visit Jou without raising suspicions.
Back to Jou's POV
I woke up in pain. What a big surprise I though sarcastically. God I hated trying to stand. It was 9 a.m. according to my clock and I didn't want to stay in the house with my dad much longer. Going outside I figured the fresh air could do me some good. The park was my destination and just standing hurt and walking was painful as hell. Before I reached the park I tripped on something and fell. A few of my cuts reopened, and my bones and muscles hurt worse than before. Dragging myself up I sat under a tree close by. Checking my wounds I believed I would be fine. They weren't much worse than normal. Sitting there felt nice and I decided it would be nice to take a nap.
As I went to sleep I could feel darkness all around me. Everywhere I looked I could see shadows. Normally I would have panicked, but stopped caring what happened to me awhile ago. I mean I was worthless so why bother? Sometimes I've even thought of killing myself. It would be so simple…Anyways back to my dream. Darkness was everywhere and I could hear voices. Most of them were saying, "Join us!" but others were saying, "We can take away all of your pain and sorrow. Fall, fall into the dark abyss." These thoughts tempted me. I mean get away from all the pain? Of course I would want that. Besides I don't think anyone would really miss me. My dad wouldn't even notice, Shizuka is too far away to find out, and everyone else don't bother with me. I was starting to listen to the voices when another voice stopped me waking me from my slumber. "What are you doing sleeping in the park?" the voice asked with almost concern. Opening my eyes I saw Seto standing there looking at me. I didn't know what to say.
TBC!!
