The wind swept through chestnut locks as the man angrily swatted them away from his face. The wind suddenly picked up in it's pace and his long hair was once again whipping his face annoyingly.
Growling he narrowed his Aqua eyes in frustration, today had been a shit poor day. He had been stood up for what had seem like the hundredth time by the women of his dreams and to top it off he was late for work because of the train, and on top of that he had only been working there for the better half of a month. Gods, why did life just have to fuck him over at every turn. Stopping at a street light he thought how much his life had turned to the pits ever after Dartz was defeated and he went his own way. He was abruptly pulled out of his melancholy stupor, by a car speeding far to close to the curb and running through a murky puddle that sat a few feet away, effectively spewing the distilled water into the air and onto the unsuspecting victim who had been waiting angrily for the light to change.
Gasping he brought his hand up to swipe through his wet hair, he snorted in contempt. He was ready to kick ass. The next person to utter a single word to him was a goner. Grunting to himself he continued in his direction, deciding to cut through the park, he hoped it would save him time and make him reach his destination sooner.
Over looking his darkened mood, the day was actually beautiful, the sun was shining, cutting through the tree tops with every opportunity it got. A small smile broke through the grey of his day as he studied the slightly deserted park, it was sincerely peaceful. The trees were in full bloom, sending ripples of pink petals cascading to the manicured grass below. Glancing at his grey wrist watch, he quickened his pace. He had approximately ten minutes before his boss would explode at him for being late. With that in mind he picked up his pace to a light jog, hurrying as much as he could, without looking messed. Reaching the end of the park something caught his eye.
To his far left a tall dark haired man was forcefully pulling a younger blonde one closer, the scene was weird to say the least… maybe a couple fighting? yet the blonde kept registering in his mind, saying that he knew the kid, definitely familiar. Actually stopping, he noticed the boy's struggles and the other man's unseen action before. The boy turned his face, the light catching it. Aqua eyes widened, he sprinted forward, knowing now why the teen seemed so familiar, it was the blonde, the runt who was a little to close to his Mai. Seeing the boy panicking and fighting against the man, he ran harder, eyes widening as the man viciously shoved a clothe to the blonde's face, his body slowly going limp in the latter's grasp.
Valon swore to himself, running up behind the man, hoping to be unseen for a surprise attack, while said man was holding the limp blonde in his arms, and was reaching for the car door, that had stood unseen before at the curb.
"Hey!"
The man froze, whipping his dark head in Valon's direction, upon seeing the brunette his eyes widened. The man dropped the blonde lightly on the ground, and placed a quick, yet still passionate kiss to the unconscious boy's lips, before he stood back up. Valon ran forward arm raised in fight, he grunted as the man's legs jutted out much to quickly and caused him to fall to the ground. Valon didn't let that stop him as he scrambled back to his feet and kicked the man right in the gut.
The audible sound of the man's pained gasp filled Valon's ears, adrenaline filled his veins and he turned to punch the man, his fist slicing through air. In his surprise he didn't notice the man twirl behind him and kick him, sending him careening to the ground a few feet away from the still unconscious teen.
Raising up he heard the car start and heard the scream of rubber grinding against pavement as the man raced away. Quickly Valon turned to check on the blonde, luckily he was left in the spot he was previously. He glared up at the speeding car.
"Hey! Get Back Here!" he was to late as the man disappeared around a darkened ally. Valon skidded to a halt beside the unconscious blonde. Scanning over his face he had to hold back the bile that arose in his throat. The boy had a beep disfigured black bruise taking up most of his face, a horrifying large gash ran from his roots, going over his nose where it looked like it almost cut into his left eye and down to the bottom of his cheek and a little down his neck, purple brimmed the blistering red wound, stitches palpably held the skin together across his face and stood pronounced compared to the rest of his wounded face. The skin beneath his clothes could be seen littered with various sizes of bruises, some faded in colour compared to others. Looking at the boy now, his eyes narrowed, remembering the teen being heavier then this, he bet if he lifted the blonde's shirt he would be able to see his ribs. He might have been wrong since the only time he really paid attention to the teen was when he was being jealous of Mai, but he doubted the boy had been this skinny.
Shaking his head to clear it for the moment at hand, he went back to examining the teen.
"Oi! Mate, wake up!" He gently shook the blonde, not wanting to injure him further, "Uh… kid?" shit! Why couldn't he remember the boy's name, J something… Jiji? No. Janai? No… Jo… Jou- "Jounouchi!" Valon exclaimed triumphantly.
The boy didn't even stir. His stomach plummeted. He lifted the boy and carefully dragged his body into his lap. Putting his hand to Jou's back he felt wet substance. Eyes widening he quickly pulled the blonde's shirt up and gasped at the blood soaked gauze that was wrapped around his stomach, where the boy had been stabbed weeks before.
Swearing, he pulled out his phone and was about to call an ambulance when the boy's eyes fluttered open. Dropping his phone on the sidewalk he placed all his attention on the teen. "Jounouchi… can you hear me?"
The teen blinked twice and looked up blankly, as if not seeing anything. He squinted and opened his mouth, nothing coming out. He wheezed a couple of times before it sounded like he was saying something. Valon brought his head down to the boy's intently listening. "….hurts…" was all the boy wheezed.
"Shit! Okay, don't worry, I'm going to call the hospital and get an ambula-" he was cut off as Jounouchi reached up and grabbed Valon's shirt, eyes wide.
"please… no… hospital….am fine." he wheezed and relaxed into Valon's lap again.
"Kid… I have to take you to the hospital! Your bleeding!"
Jounouchi seemed to have got his voice back and he looked up and smiled sadly. "I'm sick of being in the hospital…just take me …. Home." with that he passed out, not sure what to do, and if the teen would be pissed if he did take him to a hospital, and knowing Valon's current record for working with the 'bad guy', he wasn't sure if he felt like going to a place that was usually filled with the authorities. Sighing he picked up his phone and called cab. Once that was officially done, he phoned his boss and told the man he wouldn't make it in since a family emergency had come up, the man excepted the lie and he hung up.
Looking over the blonde he frowned further, not liking what he saw. Why would someone do such a thing to a kid?
Screams filled the air, as various objects soared through the room, crashing violently into walls and other objects sitting in the room.
Hijiri raged as he stormed through the room, flinging anything that happened to be in his path at the time.
He was so close!
He could have had him!
But…..
Growling he stormed over to his computer and typed frantically, growling when an image of a short brunette appeared on the screen. Reading the bio, he swore this would be his next victim for destroying everything. It could have all ended today. He could finally be together with his most precious person.
He had his angel in his arms, he could have finally had him. No more dreaming, he would have been his. This man had ruined everything, his well plotted plan… and for that Valon… He would pay dearly.
"Jounouchi-kun! I'm home!" the small voice of Mokuba Kaiba cheered as he pranced through the extravagant foyer, the room gleamed in silver and gold, the walls a pleasantly tanned colour that radiated warmth into the room, tall family photo's lined the walls, mostly of Mokuba and how he aged during the years, a large portrait of Seto and Mokuba hung, between the stairs, as they split in two section that descended to the main floor, in the circle-like structure in between the stairs where two comfy evening chairs were angled in a precise way, so you would be staring out in the direction of the windows sided beside the double wide glass doors. Even after living their for almost all his life, Mokuba still felt if he touched anything a large alarm would go off.
Receiving no reply Mokuba wondered if the blonde was asleep, since every day so far, when he arrived home Jounouchi-kun would be waiting patiently on one of the two chairs, Mokuba had learned early that Jounouchi-kun despised being left alone and here he was, stuck in a large mansion, by himself, all day long, well at least until Mokuba returned home at around three, he quickly loped up the stairs, and bounded down to Jounouchi's room, he quietly opened the door, and tiptoed to the bedside, the blankets where all piled in a large heap, making the impression someone was slumbering under them so it came a great surprise when Mokuba pulled back the covered to see a empty bed. Slightly worried he bound out of the room and ran down the stairs to the game room, finding that two empty, he continued his search, coming up empty everywhere. Panicking he started to get scared and was by now extremely worried.
He rushed to the phone, and quickly dialled the number that he always did when scared and not sure what to do, since Seto had gone to the office earlier that day, and had told him to check on Jounouchi when he got home from school. It rang about three time before a irritated 'yes' answered.
"NII-SAMA! Icantfindjounouchi-kunanywhereandicheckedeverywher ei'mworriedandidontknowhattodo!" it all came out in a large gush, silence range across the line as Seto tried to understand what his younger brother was babbling about, only getting the word Jounouchi out of the sentence, which made him instantly stiffened in concern.
"Can you please repeat that, but slower and not all at once this time, Mokuba"
"Oh yes sorry.. Nii-sama I cant find Jounouchi-kun anywhere! I looked everywhere, he's not in the house and none of the maids have seen him."
"You checked his room?"
"Yes"
"The pool?"
"Yes"
"The billiards room? The games rooms? The garden? The kitchen?"
"Yes! I have checked everywhere! And he is not in the house!" the ball dropped plummeting to Seto's stomach.
"I'll be right there."
Seto arrived in record time, literally taking ten minutes to race across town and storm into the house, he and Mokuba searched every nook and cranny that they could find only coming up empty, which frustrated the brunette, which didn't't settle well with the man.
The screech of the house phone, sounded deafening against the silence that had built up between the two brothers, Mokuba squeaked and jumped, while Seto uncharacteristically lunged for the phone, bringing it to his ear and clearing his throat before answering.
"Yes?" he straightened himself up, ignoring Mokuba's questions from behind him.
"Oh! Hello Kaiba-san" Yugi chirpy voice sounded through the phone "I-"
Kaiba cut him off "Jounouchi with you?"
Silence filled the other end. "I was just phoning to see if I could speak with Jou… Is he alright!?" Yugi's worried voice rose. As a lead weight dropped once again into Seto's stomach.
"No…" his gaze fell on Mokuba who was watching worriedly "He isn't here, and he didn't leave any sort of note or contact information."
Yugi's gasp could be heard on the other line, along with him talking to the others who Seto expected to be with him, a few minutes passed when Yugi returned to the phone "We are coming over."
The sound of a television playing in the back ground, brought the blonde to life again, awakening him from his slumber. Moaning he sat up and groaned in pain as it laced up his side, looking down he saw his stomach had been re-bandaged and there was only a few spots of red. Assuming his stitches had re-opened, he looked around. He was laid out on a simple futon, thick blankets had been wrapped around him, now pooled at his waist. His clothes were neatly folded and clean in the left corner next to the window. Realizing he wasn't wearing his clothes he re-looked at himself to see he was in a pair of black track pants.
Panic quickly erupted within him. He had no clue where he was, it was a small apartment, just a single room, with a small kitchenette and a couple closets to the right, a large window letting the setting sun shine through. Having a panic attack he willed his breathing to go down. Everything was fuzzy, he couldn't remember-
Jounouchi whimpered as his head was assailed with images of the prior happenings. That man… Hijiri… he had grabbed him, and forced him to go along with him, dragging him away from the populated area of the park, where it was dark and empty. Everything came back at once and Katsuya had to clutch his head as the terrifying memories assaulted him. Crying, he pulled his knee's closer, ignoring the blistering pain it brought from the newly opened stomach wound.
The door suddenly exploded open and Katsuya's head shot up, teary eyes wide waiting for the worst. His eyes widened more as a man he didn't expect came in juggling bags of groceries in his arms, red jacket falling off in the process and Goggles slipping from their usual perch on his head, to side down over one of his eyes, he was in the process of placing the bags on the floor when he look up. There eyes connected at the same time.
"Valon…?"
