Chapter Four: Sometimes you wonder

are things always meant to go wrong. Is there always suppose to be one little thing to prevent things from going right? What is the point of different things, when everything seems to go wrong in the end?

What is getting yammered on about here you wonder? Jounouchi was wondering these things in his head, while he was in a cold dark room, hands tied behind his back... he couldn't remember how he really got here... last he remembered was saying "c'ya two later!" to Yami and Yugi... Then he headed home, and next thing he remembers is here...

Though, where here was, was a pretty darn good question he wanted answered... But didn't seem like that would happen...

A light whimper escaped the blond when lights were flicked on, causing his eyes to hurt from the sudden brightness... He heard foot falls and his body tensed... His eyes closed tightly... not again...

First the hand went down and around his side, then moved going up his back... "Joseph... you need taught your lesson."

That was when his thoughts went to nothingness...

Where in the hell was Jou? He was worried enough as it was... He didn't want the blond to be even later... Jou at least had the heart to call him when he was back at Yugi's to tell him he was on his way home... but he hasn't arrived... he should have done so by now..

That's when the phone call came up, and even made things worse... He wasn't a hundred percent sure who was on the other line, but whomever it was, was going to have a slow painful death once he found him... and from that point, he had traces set up, to trace every call that came in, no matter who they were from.

If it hadn't been for Mokuba being there, Seto could have had very well gone insane. With a heavy sigh he say down, fingers went through his brown hair, and his blue eyes glanced around...

"who could have taken him?" he wondered idoly... Who would have taken his Jou? He racked his brain, and one person came to mind... His father...

Making calls, and trying to find the man was harder than it looked.

The routine was almost constant now; he'd get left alone for a great deal of time, and then that man would come back... He refused to acknowledge the figure... even though he did know him... as the other pressed himself against him a whimper escaped him as he laid their pliant... He just wanted to leave, get away from here... anything but this...

Who knows how many days passed, the other hadn't returned yet... later than normal, which he was glad for, but also frightened... what was making that said other take so long, was it going to be worse when he came back... Jou moved, squirming trying to get out of his restraints... no good, he couldn't budge really... Wait a moment... he moved, getting his body to move on its for the first time he had been here... as soon as he got himself up even the slightest bit, the door slammed open, and Jou was instantly back on the floor... no.. Not now... please not now...

He listend, but instead of foot falls, he heard someone bodidly fall to the floor... but he didn't look, nope, he used all of his energy to sit up as much as he had...

"What do you mean you found him?" Seto growled out.

"We found him, the blond lad; we had someone talk to Mr. Katsuya as you suggested he indeed has the boy." The officer managed to calmly reply.

"Then why haven't we done anything?"

"We have to wait a little longer."

"He could be dead in a little longer!" Seto's anger was clearly obvious... and the officer got his men together finally... and there they headed... Mr. Katsuya wasn't really sure what hit him, he had been in the process of unlocking the door, and he opened it, then next thing he knew, he was shoved down the stairs...

The blue gaze he met was surely not a happy one, the officers took to Mr. Katsuya, and Seto instantly went to the blond huddled on the floor... his trench coat was taken off and set about the blond's shoulders. The whimper he got made him cringe... "Easy pup... it's all right." He stated softly, not realizing exactly what he said, nor did he care, he needed taken care of. When one of the officers moved to assist him with Jou, he just glared and moved picking Jou up bridal style without anymore words.

The blonds head rested limply against whoever was carrying him, he didn't know, nor did he care... he just wanted to stay unconscious to all of it right now...

"He will be all right, right?"

"He should be Mr. Kaiba. We're just afraid he may have been traumatized by this, we just ask to leave him here a few days."

"I'm not letting Jou stay here to be a lab rat for you. Is he fine to go home or not?"

"He can go home Mr. Kaiba" the nurse said lowering her gaze from the wrath the other had.

"Thank you." He stated, surprisingly, not as harsh as he would of done normally... going to Jous room he noticed the other curled up, his gaze out the window...

Seto walked over silently, and moved and lightly rested a hand on the blonds shoulder. "Are you all right?" he asked softly.

Jou looked up at Seto, and smiled slightly... "Wonderful." He stated softly...

"We're going home to-..." He was startled by the hug he received, considering it knocked him off balance, but he gently hugged Jou back... "We can go now if you wish." He stated softly, and just getting a nod, since the others face was buried into his shoulder, He smiled. "I'll get things ready..."

When Jou got back home, he spent a good 5-10 minutes staring at the calendar... 'It's been that long huh?' A good 5 months went by while he had been... he refused to acknowledge it... He turned to see Kaiba, and he smiled, and he smiled more seeing the smile he received in return.

He smiled happily for most of the day; it was just that evening that had any trouble... Soon as the lights went out he started trembling, but soon had Kaibas arms around him, murmuring things to him... He didn't really understand any of the words, but neither did he care to... he just stayed, clung to Kaiba, safe in his arms... god... he missed this honestly... He stayed nestled up to the other...
