Chapter 10
Joey awoke from his deep sleep when the small ray of light hit his eyes. He roll cuddle deeper into Kaiba's embrace. The he stop, he thought for a bit, then sat up as fast as he could breaking Kaiba's embrace. His face flush. His attention was adverted to the teen who slpet next to him when he made a groan. Kaiba sat up and look at Joey, "You sure wake up early." Joey smile when he realize Kaiba's tired tone.
"Go back to sleep. You had a long day of driving ahead of you," Joey smile brightly.
Kaiba groan in irritation, "You're right. We need to get back to Domino City. I wish we wouldn't have to."
"But it couldn't be help. Mokuba need us," Joey said as a whisper. Kaiba nodded and got up. He headed for the bathroom. Joey got up as well and went to the window. He open the window and look down at the ground as he wait for his turn.
A blackish red car drove into the driveway. Joey stare at it. Three men in black suit got out and look up at the hotel. Joey look a bit confused when they stare at him. One of the man pull out something in his suit pocket and shot it toward Joey. As soon as Joey realize who it was, he duck under the window.
Clash! The broken glass shatter across the floor. Kaiba burst out of the bathroom and ran toward Joey when he saw the broken glass. "Joey are you okay?" he asked in a panic. Joey nodded. Kaiba stood up and took a peek at the window. He got back down when he realize who the black car belong to, "We have to get out of here fast!" He grab Joey's wrist and pull him away from the window. They quickly put on their jacket unzip and rush out the door. Keeping their hands linked, they rush toward the elevator. One of the assassins came into view as they rushed toward him. He shot a bullet pass them both. Kaiba curse and lower his body a bit. Joey did the same. The assassin kept shooting but missed every time. As they got closer, the man ran out of bullet. Before he could pull out another, Kaiba kick his stomach and puch him out cold. Kaiba pull the other assassin's gun out and held onto it. He found a little shot gun in the assassin pocket and handed to Joey, "Use it for protection." Joey nodded nervously. He had never touch a gun in his whole life and it felt almost frighten to touch one.
They ran toward the elevator, still linking hands. Kaiba push the down button. Two other assassins appear and shot at them. Kaiba shot back and press the button harder. The door swung open and they rush inside. The assassins dash toward the elevator door. Kaiba press the first floor button as many time as he could. Thankfully, the elevator close as the assassins approach. They let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's take the stairs!" one of the assassins shouted.
Kaiba and Joey ran out of the elevator as soon as it landed. They ran toward the parking lot and found his car. They got inside and drove as far away as they could from the assassins. They were about to relax when a bullet hit the back window causing it to break. The both of then turn their heads to see and then quickly lower it. Kaiba stomp on the speed. The assassins curse and shot another bullet at the two wheel on the back. Causing Kaiba to lose control and slam into the lake on the side of the road.
The assassins stop and got out of the car. They wait a few seconds before accepting their deaths. "Let's go before someone see," one of the assassins said. The other nodded and they got back in the car.
Joey gasp for air as water pour into car. He turn to Kaiba who was unconscious. He probably hit his head! Joey shook him. "Dammit!" he cursed. He tried opening the door. It won't budge because of the water. By now, the water had already fill the car. Joey turn to the back. Luckily, the window was shatter by the bullet earlier. Joey swam to the back and reach for Kaiba. He grab Kaiba's collar and pull him along.
He swim out first then reach for Kaiba. He put an arm around his chest and swim for the surface. As soon as they reach the surface, Joey took a deep breath and swim ashore. He fell onto the ground beside Kaiba and took a deep breath. As soon as realization reach him, he sat up and look around. The assassins were already gone by now. He turn to Kaiba and shook his shoulder. "Seto? Seto wake up!" he shouted. He took another breath and hold Kaiba's nose. He lock their lips together and breath air into him. He part their lips and press his chest. He repeat the same CPR over. Finally, Kaiba cough up water. Joey sigh in relief, "Seto? Are you okay?"
Kaiba look at him and gave a little smile as he sat up, "You save me." Joey smile even brighter, "You save me many time than this," he put an arm around him, "I'm just so glad you're okay.I don't know what I'll do if…."
Kaiba put his arms around Joey and touch his blond hair, "I won't die that easily. I still hadn't fufill my promise to you yet." They parted and Joey gave a blushing smile. He help Kaiba up and they walk to the side of the road. They sat down and Kaiba pull out his cell phone. Fortunately, the cell phone was water proof. He dial a number and wait for the other end to answer.
"Who are you calling?" Joey asked.
"A friend of mine," he answered.
Finally the other end pick up, "Hello? Master Kaiba?"
"Roland!" Kaiba said with relief, "Is everything alright with Kaiba Corp?"
"Yes sir, but," he hesitated, "Master Mokuba and is kidnapped and your new Gaming System is missing."
Kaiba's eyes widen a bit before turning to a death glare, "Listen Roland, I want you to come pick me up right now. Just drive a normal car. Don't do anything suspicious. And about everything else, I'll take care of it later."
"Yes Master Kaiba, but where may I ask?"
Kaiba look around and found a sign, "55 miles outside Domino."
"I'll be there right away."
They hung up and he turn to the confused Joey, "Roland's coming to pick us up."
"But, what Noah?" he asked.
"Don't worry about that. The car Roland is coming in isn't a Kaiba Corps. I specifically bought that car for occasion like this."
Joey move closer to Kaiba and look at the other side of the road, "Kaiba?"
"What is it?" he asked.
"I was thinking, what if one day I said I told you I did this all for revenge, what will you do?"
Kaiba look at him, "I will say you succeed it." Joey look at him. He gave a smile, "In making me fall in love with you."
Tears fill his eyes, he put his arms around Kaiba's neck and hug him tightly. "I love you too!" he whispered.
Kaiba smile with everything he got. When they notice a car approaching, they parted and got up. Roland stop the car in front of them. He rush out and bow to them, "Sorry for the wait." Kaiba reassured him and got into the car after Joey. It wasn't long before they drove back to Domino City. On the way, the both of them fell fast asleep, linking their hands tightly into a lover's linked.

The hospital room was full of the smell of detergent. A red-headed girl with bandages around her eyes sat near the window, smile brightly as she feel the sun shine onto her face. A nurse came in and sat down a plate of food in front of her, "Here you go, Serenity. You shouldn't stay in the sun too much. It's not good for your skin."
"That's alright. I'm fine. I just can't wait for tha day I'll be able to see my big brother, Joey." she spoke softly.
