No I mean -sanda, not -san. I read it in a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX fic. Chazz Princeton (the author used his Japanese name Jun Manjoume) called himself Manjoume-sanda. I thought it meant ''thunder" and I wanted to make sure.

Anyway, on with the chapter.


Jake was taking a stroll. When he was passing the Kame Shop, he felt someone tug on his pants. He turned around to find Jodie.

"Sorry, Mister, I thought you were my dad. It funny. You look a lot like him."

Jake stared at her. 'She looks just like..Get a hold of yourself, Jake. You're minds just playing tricks on you.'

"You look kinda sad," said Jodie. "Why?"

"I did something bad to someone I love," said Jake.

/In The Shop/

"So, how's Mizuki?" asked Joey.

"Oh, she died two tears ago," said Serenity.

". . . . . Oh. . . I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You could have done anything. It was her time."

"What about the drunk? He dead yet?" 'Please be dead.'

Serenity shook her head. "No. Joey, I know what Dad did was wrong, but he's changed. He hasn't picked up a bottle for eight years."

"Yeah right."

"He hasn't," said Seto. "He's gone straight. And he's really sorry about what he did."

"He should be."

"Where's Jodie?" asked Mai.

"I heard the door open, then close," said Tea. "She must of gone outside."

/Outside/

"And that's it," said Jake.

"Wow," said Jodie.

"I know."

Jake looked liked he was going to cry.

"Mister, are you really sorry for doing those things to your son?"

"You wouldn't believe how sorry I am."

"Then go talk to him. I'm sure he'll for give you if you're sorry."

"I don't think he would. And I don't even know where he is."

Jodie thought for a second. "Tell me, what's your name?"

"Jacob Wheeler. Jake for short."

'Dad said something about a guy named Jacob. Wait a sec.' "Wheeler? That's your last name?"

"Yes."

"That's mine too. My name's Jodie Wheeler. My dad's name is Joseph Wheeler. Joey for short."

"T-that's my son's name!"

"It is?"

Jake bent down and shook Jodie's shoulders.

"Please tell me where your father is! I must speak to him!"

"Jodie?"

Joey walked out of the shop and spotted his daughter and father. He gasped.

"Dad," said Jodie.

"Joseph," said Jake, a small smile on his face and tears streaming down his cheeks.

"JODIE, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" screamed Joey.

He yanked Jodie away and gave Jake a death glare.

"You," Joey said venomously.

"Joseph, my son, I sorry for all things I've done to you."

"I'm sure you are."

"Dad, what's going on?" asked Jodie.

"This man. . .he used to be my father."

"He's my grandpa?"

"NO, he is NOT! He did bad things, Jo. Unspeakable things."

"He told me, Dad. He told me everything."

Serenity and Seto ran out.

"Dad?" said Serenity.

"Hi, Sweetie."

"What's going on?" asked Seto.

"We were leaving," said Joey.

"What?" asked Jodie.

"We're leaving. I knew we shouldn't have came here."

"Please, Angle, let's talk," begged Jake.

"What is there to talk about, Jake? You think I can just forgive you *he snapped his fingers* just like that? Then you're even more stupid than I thought."

"Joey, Jake really has changed," said Seto. "I know how you feel. I understand you're not going to forgive him easily, but-"

"BUT NOTHING!" yelled Joey.

Everyone was shocked. Mai and the others heard and ran out.

"Look at my face! He did this! And I have some other scars too! Both phyical and emotional! He's unforgivable!"

"Daddy," said Jodie.

"Mai, Jodie, let's go."

He placed Jodie on his shoulders and he and Mai left
