The Truth Hurts Chapter 11: Truths

Mokuba walked toward Joey door slowly not to try to startle the injured blonde. He lifted his ahnd and placed it onto the door knob and turned it slowly and opened Joey's room door. Mokuba looked inside the room to see Joey laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. "Joey?" Mokuba called out to the blonde to jump slightly at his voice as someone called out to him.

"Oh, hey Mokuba, what up?" Joey asked him as he turned to look at him with a smile on his face in which Mokuba returned. Mokuba pushed the door fully open and stepped inside and started to head towards where Joey lie on his bed. "Joey, are you ok you have not been acting like yourself." Mokuba asked him as he looked at him with worry filled eyes.

"Hmm... Mokuba how am exactly am supposed to act now?" Joey asked him. "What do you mean you've been acting normal before." Mokuba responded.

"I see so acting Fake is my normal then."

"Wait you have been faking being calm about this all along!" Mokuba yelled as Joey merely flinched and nodded his head.

"Yeah I always gave the illusion that I was happy so I guess none can really tell the difference now." Joey said as he looked down at his hands sadly.

"Oh, Joey, you don't have to hide yourself behind a mask." Mokuba told him as he placed and hand on his shoulder.

"Your right... I see you later Mokie I have to take a bath." Joey told him as he got up from his bed and started towards the bathroom leaving Mokuba there sitting on his bed. Mokuba sighed and got off the bed and left the room to go in search for his brother.


"Yami, Yugi, are you guys here?" Serenity called from the front of the Kami gameshop. "Serenity! What are you doing here." Yugi asked suprised as his eyes widen as he saw Serenity standing in the shop. "I saw what happened on the news where is my big brother?!"Serenity panicked as she grabbed ahold of Yugi shoulders.

"I called Seto but he didn't pick up when I called him and I can't reach Joey phone either." Serenity yelled in as she continued to panic. "Call down Serenity, you can't reach joey on his phone since it was stolen from him and Seto probably locked up in his office." Yugi said trying to calm Serenity as he looked up at her as she began to calm down.

"Me and Yami are about tio head over there now so you can go with us opk Serenity." Yugi reassured as he rushed into the back to go get Yami.

"Big brother, I hope you are alright." Serenity thought as she looked up at the ceiling.


"Big Brother!" Mokuba yelled out to his brother as he stood infront of his brother's study. "Mokuba, what wrong?" Seto asked as he opened the door to see his kid brother frowning at him. "You need to talk to Joey, Seto." Mokuba stated as Seto was confused about he was talking about. "Ok." Seto said as he locked eyes with Mokuba.

"Promise?" Mokuba asked as he held up his pinky. "I pinky promise." Seto replied as he locked pinkies with Mokuba.
