With the sun crawling up within the sky, everyone under Ryou's roof was fast asleep. Just until Joey's cell phone started to go off. Seto was the first to wake up in the chair. His back was stiff from trying to sleep sitting up, though he had something else that was bothering him at the moment, Joey's cell phone. He got up and reached into Joey's pocket and grabbed the phone, he was going to tell the other to leave Joey alone, but he saw the name on the screen. Instead he shook awake and slapped him in the face.
"Ah, ah, what?" Joey sat up, fully awake and looked around; his eyes landed on a glaring and pissed off looking Seto holding his ringing phone out to him. He grinned kind of cheeky to Seto, swiped his phone from the CEO's hand and answered it. It was his father in a drunken state yelling at Joey. "Yes, sir… I know, sir… Yes, be home soon, sir…" And with that, the call was ended.
"Fucking old man is calling me home." Joey growled out quietly. "I gotta go see what his deal is." He got up and stretched, cracking his back in a few places and started for the door.
Seto placed a hand on Joey's shoulder. "Would you like me to come with you?" He asked quietly and coldly with his tone. He got the impression that Joey's father was drunk and Joey was probably going home to deal with an angry man, who would beat Joey up. Seto had seen the bruises before that the old man had laid on Joey, but Joey only brushed them off as he was jumped. Seto knew Joey and knew Joey could handle himself, but those bruises didn't look to be created in a fight.
"Naw, man. It's cool. I can handle myself. Ya just get some sleep and tell the others, I be back soon." Joey slipped on his shoes and with that start to head his way home. Seto closed the door behind him and walked over to the couch. It smelt like Joey and it gave his heart a jump. Could he have feelings for Joey, more than friendship? It didn't matter to him, as he pushed the thought out of his head and lay down on the couch, getting a bit more shut-eye before the others had woken up.
Taking short cuts through the alley ways, Joey was only trying to get home as soon as possible, mainly so he could get back to Ryou's place, before anyone worried about him. Of course, he told Seto to tell them where he was, but he wanted to get it done and over and stay out of his father's way, before the unthinkable happened.
As so, he wanted to know what the deal with Seto was. Joey could never figure him out, especially if they were alone together. Seto became friendlier, when it was just the both of them, but with the gang, he put down Joey in every way. Well, it wasn't like Joey didn't put him down too. It seemed to him Seto was gaining a heart in that cold blood body of his. Joey just hoped he was the only one Seto was friendlier with alone. He would never admit it, but he had a crush on him.
Thinking about all this, Joey was only another block away from his apartment, when a van pulled up in front of the alley way he was going to take. He stopped and was going to go around, but the door slammed open and he was pulled in, just as fast as the door was slammed shut.
"Hey! What's the meanin' of-" Joey was cut off by the knife to his throat and a rag drenched in chloroform. It didn't take long for him to realize he was staring back at himself, before everything went black for him.
Teana turned around and smirked. "One half of the plan down, the other half is your job." She removed the rag from Joey's mouth and kissed him on the head. She started to strip him when Jono raised a brow.
"What are you doing? He's knocked out." Jono asked for his curiosity. He was shot a glare from Teana and told to help remove his clothes. He took off Joey's shoes and then his pants, as Teana removed his jacket and shirt. Jono was about to grab for Joey's boxers, before his hands were smacked away.
"What are you doing?" Teana spoke to him with a hint of anger in her voice. "Keep him dressed and put his clothes on. Your job is to go as him, back to that Bakura's place." She snapped as she started to tie up Joey's hands and feet and set him to the side lying down. "Remember, use your power of voice-switching and talk like him too. You can't give away our cover." Jono only nodded his head and did the switch of voice, before finishing dressing himself in Joey's clothes.
Jono opened the door and stretched out and realized him and Joey were the same size and turned to Teana, who waiting. "What? I'm going now. Take off." He spoke and received a glare, which he realized what it was for. "Okay. I'm goin' now and see ya later."
Teana grinned and nodded to Jono. "Have fun, Joey." She said with a wink and closed the door, before the thugs drove off with her and the real joey in the back, back to Dartz's mansion.
Sighing and stuffing his hands in his pockets, Jono turned around and headed back to Ryou's house. There was no emergency at Joey's to begin with, as they were the ones who broke into the apartment and called him. His father was passed out, so it was easy to do a voice-switching and act like him. Yes, voice-switch power was one of the powers that the Silver Diamond Items could do and no one needed to know that.
It took a little longer to get to Ryou's house, as Jono was walking slowly and didn't take the alley ways either. Though, when he got there, he just walked into Ryou's house like he owned it.
By this time, Marik, Ryou, Seto and Yami were up and they turned to the door and looked at the ash blonde hair boy who walked through the door. Seto raised a brow at it. The hair color was faintly different and those eyes seem to have darkened, well it could be the light with in the room that set his color differences different. Though, he still wore the same clothes as before, so there was no difference there.
Jono wore a smirk on his face, different, but the same as Joey's and went to sit down on the couch beside Seto. "So Joey, what happened? What did your father want?" Yami had asked him first, hoping Joey would tell the truth in some way. He never told every detail, but Yami believed him anyways.
"Ah, yeah. My dad wanted me t' take out the garbage. No big deal." Jono spoke in Joey's voice and cleared his throat. Yami and Seto both raised a brow; never had Joey ever spoke of his father as dad, only as old man. Maybe, something did happen besides taking out the garbage to make Joey say that.
Jono only shrugged off their looks and they went back to talking about what could have happened to Malik. During their talking, Jono couldn't help but stare at Seto, looking at him with lustful eyes, wondering what he could do to him. He licked his lips a couple of time, out of habit. Seto saw this as they were speaking and shot a few glares at Jono, thinking it was Joey, just to get him to stop which didn't.
It was then Seto had a plan of his own, to see if Joey would follow him and he could ask Joey what the hell his problem was. He got up and said he was going to get a glass of water, and headed to the kitchen, as Jono got up and said he was thirsty too.
Once in the kitchen, Seto's questioning had started. "What is your deal, mutt? You keep staring at me like I'm food or something." He spoke first as Jono entered the kitchen, in which Jono found the perfect opportunity to make his move.
"I have no idea what ya talkin' about, Seto." Jono smirked and kept coming closer and closer to Seto. Now, Seto really thought Joey was hit on the head for calling him Seto, usually Joey called him Kaiba, and the fact that Seto had called him mutt and Joey wasn't freaking out like usual really brought more questions to Seto.
Before he could even ask another, Jono was close enough to Seto and placed his lips upon Seto's. he let his tongue slip into Seto's mouth and explore, moaning at the taste and pressing harder against Seto, into the fridge.
Realizing what was happening; Seto then pushed Jono back and wiped his mouth with the back of his sleeve on his coat. "What the hell's gotten into you, Joey?" He really was thinking Joey was hit on the head too hard or something to make him act so close, so personal to Seto.
Jono just shrugged and turned away, going to head for the kitchen door before he stopped and turned around to Seto. "I just wanted to see if it was the same or not." With that, Jono left, leaving Seto completely dumbfounded by what happened and Jono's words.
Walking out of the kitchen after, Seto saw that Yugi and Anzu were now up. Good, because then maybe they could start their search for Malik and the other spirits. Though, Ryou had to ask Marik a question. "Marik, where is Bakura? He told me last night that you two would go and search for clues, but he hasn't returned."
Marik only shook his head. "Bakura didn't tell me anything last night. I thought he was upstairs sleeping with you, till I went in there and didn't see Bakura and only you lying in bed. That's why I tried to make a move on you and, missing Malik and not having him to tease is making me lonely, I love it when I-" Marik stopped his rambling on from a smack to the back of his head from Yami, where Seto smirked from the enjoyment of seeing the other in pain.
"We are not here to listen to your perverted mind and what you do to your hikari." Yami spoke and settled down beside Yugi and pulled him into his lap. Of course, Marik was always the yami to abuse and tease his hikari ever since they were brought together. That was no lie. Though, now Marik had his own body and even the thought of him abusing his hikari physically was just wrong to think about.
Now with Ryou worried, everyone looked at him as he seemed to be in conversation with himself in his head. Unknown to the others, Ryou had picked up on the mind link between him and Bakura and was trying to contact him. 'Bakura, where are you?... Bakura?... Bakura!'
'Ryou? Help…I'm at Dartz… Malik… Heishin…Help-' Was all Bakura had said, it seemed like Bakura's sides of the mind link was cutting in and out. Some form of magic must be involved with it, but Ryou was uncertain about it. He sighed and looked up at the others, unsure of what to say, but said a few names. "Dartz, Heishin and Malik." And that seemed to make almost everyone's eyes grow big, except Marik's and Jono's. Jono knew where the others were and had just came from there and well, Marik wasn't surprised by it, as Bakura talked about Heishin to him before.
It was then that Jono started laughing, unable to hold back the laughter of looking at everyone's surprised faces. This made almost everyone in the room confused about this sudden outbreak, till they heard his true voice. "You guys are complete idiots. Oh, I have to go and tell this to Heishin." Just before Marik could grab Jono, he was gone. Vanished in thin air to where ever, no one knew where.
"I knew that couldn't have been Joey. He was different in appearance and in personality. Joey would have never kissed me like that." Seto slammed his fist against the wall. It seemed something was up that up and the answers were at Dartz's mansion. No one asked any question about what Seto said about a kiss shared between him and the fake Joey.
Seto pulled out his phone and quickly speeds dial his driver to come pick him up, furious about the events played and his first kiss stolen. Well, no one knew about that and they weren't going to know about that.
Yami nodded his head; he knew they were all going to Dartz's mansion to save Joey, Malik and Bakura. Anzu was the only one who was worried. "I think I should stay behind and wait for you guys to return. I am no help to you guys at all." She spoke with the hint of fear inn her voice.
"No, Anzu. You should come. We need all the help we can get to save the others and defeat this evil that has been brought upon us. Please, come." Yami asked nicely, getting up and heading to the door with an arm wrapped around Yugi. To everyone's surprise, Anzu got up and rushed over to Yami, grabbing his other arm and almost knocking Yugi down. She had a smile on her face now and was coming with them.
When the limo pulled up, the driver opened the door and let in Seto, Yami, Yugi, Anzu, Marik and Ryou, well after Ryou locked up his house, and they were off to Dartz's mansion to save the others.
All seated in the limo and waiting to arrive at Dartz's mansion, Ryou pulled out a deck of cards and started going through them. Yugi looked at him and sat beside and looked at the deck with him. "Ryou, what are you going to do with those?" The curious tri-colored boy asked his friend.
"I don't know, Yugi. Somehow, I feel a power with these cards and that they will help me to fight. Almost like how Bakura used the cards the summon creatures without being in a duel. I feel I have that same power and if I do have it, I could use it to help me fight. I just have to wait and see." Ryou told Yugi, who nodded his head in understanding and made sure his cards were in his jacket pocket. Though, he didn't have the same feeling, he just hoped that the cards would help Ryou in the end.
"Arriving at Dartz's mansion. I shall dropp you off at the front doors." The driver spoke and Seto nodded. The limo pulled up to the main entrance and the driver got out of the limo and opened the door for them to get out. Seto was the last to get out and looked up the stairs leading to the front door. Marik took a step on the stairs and to everyone's surprise the front door opened.
Walking through the front door to the outside to greet everyone was Dartz, himself. Dressed in a long white coat and white pants to match, the design on the coat was done in aqua green and his shoes matched the same color. Teana walked out behind him, dressed in a short leather dress and black high-heeled sandals, with her hair up in a high pony tail. Jono was the next to appear in a black t-shirt and black leather pants and shoes. "Welcome to my home. I hope you all have a pleasant stay here as none of you may return to the outside world." Dartz spoke in a high voice, like a warning to all who dare step into him home.
Out of nowhere, Seth appeared by Jono's side, dressed in a long white coat and black clothes to match Jono's, and wrapped his arms around Jono, pulling him into a deep kiss, seeming like his missed the other.
"Well, I should excuse these two, as they don't know how to keep their hands off one another." Dartz rolled his two-tone eyes at the other two. "Though, I should introduce everyone. This is the lovely Teana." He walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "She is quiet a botch till you get to know her." He smirked and kissed Teana's cheek lightly before pointing to the other two. "Those perverted lip-locking men are Seth and Jono. Now, they will meet you inside." Dartz walked back to the center in front, as the three disappeared. "You will all meet up with Heishin later, as he is busy down stairs with a certain yami and a hikari watching." He winked and left the gang there to walk through the open door at the top of the stairs.
Wasting no time with saving the others, the gang all rushed up the stairs and entered the mansion.
Another ending to a chapter. I am still surprised to see how this story will end. Yes, I know I am the author of this story, but my ideas are stuck within my head and will only come out when I get farther into the story. One idea I have to create a sequel to this one, though I wouldn't have a plot really. Maybe, if I think more on this, I will create one.
Please read and review, especially other stories you come across from other authors.
