Chapter 11 The Loving Brother

Note from the Author: Ka is a spirit that inhabits the body during life and may leave it in death, but requires the continued existence of the body…this is part of Egyptian religion

Twenty minutes later, Isisa woke up she felt groggy. Her head was hurting like hell, same for as for ribs. When her vision cleared she looked around at her surroundings, there was a semitransparent curtain in front of her. There was also white hospital like beds and equipment. Isisa started to be terrified; she hated hospitals with a passion. She did not know why she hated them, but she did and it scared her. Just as she was pulling herself up, Injection Fairy Lilly pushed the curtain aside and said.

"So, Blue Eyes you decided to rejoin the land of the living," teased Injection Fairy Lilly

"Just tell me the damage, I caused this time" said Blue Eyes

"Well, where do you want to start, the fact that you have a minor concussion, or maybe the bruised ribs, or perhaps even the dislocated shoulder, which I'm a little concerned about, or all of the above"?

"How about all of the above"

"Okay, well you won't be driving for awhile that's for sure, no martial arts, no horse back riding, and you might not be doing any work until your shoulder gets better" said Injection Lilly

" I see," said Blue Eyes nodding her head

"So, am I in a hospital or what?" asked Blue Eyes

"No you are in the infirmary at the school. Mrs. Moto is coming by taxi to drive you home"

"Oh, I see"

'Isisa just lie down and relax, okay it's going to be a couple of hours before Mrs. Moto gets here okay" with that Injection Fairy left

Isisa laid back down and rested her head on the pillow her head ached. [This is going to be a long day] she thought

After about half an hour, Lord of Dragons walked into the infirmary. He had Joey and Seto placed at the far end of the infirmary. Both boys were roughly dressed; their uniforms had rips and covered with blood. Joey's nose was broken so it was dressed, Seto's wrists and fits were bandage, and the both sat in a corner starting at the window.

Joey couldn't believe that he hit Isisa, it just wasn't possible. [I didn't want to hit her but she just came out of nowhere. I mean she was just there] he thought

"Okay, now so what are we going to about your punishments?" asked Lord of D as he looks at the two boys.

"You both are going to get punished," he continued

Seto and Joey looked at each other then back at Lord of D.

"So, starting tomorrow you both are in detention, now Joey the Principal says that it was all your fault which I highly doubt. You may have been the first one to throw the first punch and I agree with that, but Seto over here could have easily have ended the fight with some trouble, but you would have been able to stop it" explained Lord of D

"So, what do we do for detention?" asked Joey quietly

"Well Seto, Isisa said you work with technology right, well Shining Fairy is technology challenged alright. So, you will operate the computer and what ever else she wants you to do for the next week. Joey you have your drivers license right, well Isisa is going to need someone to drive her, and that will be your job as well as other things okay. Now that you have your jobs, go home and recover. I don't want to see either of you at school tomorrow okay so get what ever you need from your teachers and go okay. Your detention starts on Monday" with that Lord of Dragons dismissed them.

Seto walked out of the infirmary, he had called the car ahead of time so when he got out there was the car. He couldn't believe that he just received detention. [I guess he doesn't know who I am, well I'll show him] thought Seto to himself

He told the driver to go straight home; his shoulder and ribs were killing him. [I think I had better call the doctor just to be safe] he thought

The sun was shining brightly; it was just after the storm. Seto looked at he great estate as the limo drove up the driveway. He glanced at his watch; the time was 3:20 [Mokuba will be coming home soon] he thought

After the car was at the door and then he sent the car to pick up Mokuba from school. Seto walked through the doors and up to his room, his body ached everywhere but mostly in his ribs and shoulders. What he couldn't get through his head was why in the hell did Blue Eyes came into the fight. [It was her fault that she was injured, and she should've known better then to come into a fight. She was after all a black belt and a triple star at that, but that didn't even prevent her from coming into the fight.] These questions were running through his head.

When Joey got home, his father was well surprisingly sober for once. His father was in the bathroom shaving when he got there.

"Dad you okay" asked Joey

"What do you think, I'm trying to get back on the wagon" came the reply

"Who is she?" asked Joey

"You know I don't know who she is. I saw her in the bar last night and she said something that made me think about some things"

"Really" said Joey as he put his bag down and walk to his room. It was one of those extremely few times when his dad was sober and not a complete drunk.

It was about 6 o'clock when Joey smelled chicken fettuccini Alfaro coming from the kitchen. [Wow, this girl must've had a big impression on dad if he went down town to buy food] thought Joey

Joey walked out of his room and set the table, but when him and his father sat down to dinner did his father saw the bandage on his nose.

"What happened son?" asked his father

"Nothing" came the grunted reply

"Listen, Joey I know I haven't been a proper father and I wasn't there when you really needed me, but I would like to know what happened if you want to tell me"

No reply came; both son and father ate in silence. It wasn't until Joey helped clear the dishes when he spoke,

"Dad, ahum…here is the scenario" started Joey

"Okay, two guys are fighting over a girl and the girl later on comes into the fight and gets hit by one of the fighters and goes down…right…then later on does the same thing again, but takes the one who hit her the first time from the back and well get hurt a second time. She is badly hurt with a minor concussion, dislocated shoulder, and a few bruised ribs… he later has to be her driver for a week…what's the guy to do," asked Joey

"Does this have to do anything with that broken nose of yours?" asked his father

'M-m-maybe"

"Well, depending on her history, I would first apologize and if she slowly backs away I would give her space, Joey" implicated his father

"Okay, then" said Joey as he put the dishes away

"But, I would wait and let her make the first move, Joey if I were you. Women are tricky creatures. It's like your mother used to tell me, 'we can you from 0 to bitch in 0.1 seconds, handle with care' God I miss her, but I guess I do deserve it" as his father drained the sink and dried his hands

"Besides, Joey you should now this. I mean you saw the terrible things I did to your mother, but do the opposite you will last longer on the wagon then off of it" continued his father as he walked to the living room and picked up the newspaper.

Joey just looked at his father, when had this man become different and how long will this smart and loving father last. That was the question how long. He walked to his room and sat at his desk and started his homework, he might as well get friendly with his desk. After all, he will be doing other things then schoolwork for the next week.

Mrs. Moto drove CC into the driveway and parked in the back of The Game Shop. She helped Isisa unbuckle herself, and then helped her get out of the car. The walk into the house was a little painful for Isisa, her arm was in a sling, she had bandages around her ribs, and Mrs. Moto would have to wake her up every hour. [This is going to be a "wonderful" night] thought Isisa sarcastically

As Mrs. Moto helped Isisa into the living room, to where Grandpa was making dinner. He glanced at the door where his daughter-in-law walked in helping his most intelligent student through the door.

"What happened?" he asked

"Well, what do you get when you have two guys, lots of testosterone, and a pretty girl? Said Mrs. Moto

"Oh, how bad did she get hurt…this time?"

"Not bad, dislocated, minor concussion, and bruised ribs. That's all"

"Clara can you help me up the stairs" asked Isisa quietly

"Of course, Isisa just wait one moment"

The two walked up the stairs, with stop in the bathroom to change the bandages around her ribs and a pick up on pain medication. Little did they know that Yugi or the Pharaoh was hiding in the Egyptian vase that stood near the door in Isisa's room. When they walked in it was like a delayed reaction. Mrs. Moto was helping Isisa undress; Isisa was down to her bra and under skirt when Yugi decided to pop up from the vase.

"Ummm this doesn't look like a good time to play a prank," said the spiky haired teenager

"Yugi, please get out" said Isisa glaring at him, her pain was evident

"Quick Yugi go to your cute look," said the Pharaoh

"Mom, can I have a cookie?" asked Yugi with such sweetness

"Just one, okay Grandpa is making supper and you don't want to spoil you're appetite" said his mother

'Okay, mom" with that Yugi hopped out of the vase and ran out of the room

"That kid drives me up the wall" said Isisa

"Don't worry, he just doesn't understand how much pain your in at the moment. Now, you just lie down and rest and I'll bring you some supper alright," said Clara

Before Isisa could reply a sound was heard from down stairs.

"Mooooooooooooooooooo, mooooooooooooooooooo"

"YUGI, GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF THE COOKIE JAR" bellowed Grandpa

"I think I better get down there, before Grandpa gives Yugi a verbal beating" laughed Mrs. Moto

With that, she left Isisa alone to get much needed rest.

After supper Yugi went up to his room, he was preoccupied with questions that boggled his mind. He wanted to know so much more about Isisa, but the Pharaoh had prevented him from questioning Ishizu further.

"Why didn't you let me talk to Ishizu?" asked Yugi as he walked up the stairs

"Yugi, there are some things that I want to find out first, I promise to tell you as soon as I know" came the reply

"But I want to know now, I mean is there something that Ishizu told you that she didn't tell me?"

"Yes, there is, but the thing is Yugi I am still processing it"

"Maybe I can help, tell me maybe I know"

"Yugi, this is something for an Egyptologist, and I will be asking Isisa sometime tonight" said the Pharaoh

"But, Pharaoh…my mom is going the one hour check. If she hears you and Isisa talking she's going to think that Isisa hit her head harder then what Injection Fairy said she did"

"Don't worry, that's where you come in handy my friend'

"What…what do you mean?" eyed Yugi

"Well, you are going to ask to take the first shift," said the Pharaoh

"You got to be kidding me…you are kidding…right?" said Yugi unsurely

"Don't worry Yugi, its going to be alright" chuckled the Pharaoh

Yugi walked into his room, he then pulled out one of his old magazines, and then put that on top of the girl's magazine that Joey let him borrow. He then sat down on his bed and started to read.

It was already quarter past 10 when Yugi finally decide to call it quits, he got his pj's on and went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He then went back to his bed, climbed in, and closed his eyes. The Pharaoh looked at his partner sleeping [It is time] he thought. He walked out of the room, checked to see anyone was around and saw Mrs. Moto coming up the stairs and walking into Isisa's room. [She didn't stay long] he noticed. The Pharaoh then walked over Isisa's bedroom and vanished though the door.

The room was dark; the only thing giving off light was the full moon that lay on the clouds outside. He walked towards the bed; he could make out her shape along from the shadows of the moon. He then had deducted that he was sleeping on her stomach, which he thought was dumb of her. She did after all have bruised ribs. He walked closer, and then something caught his eye. The light from the sliver moon rested on her right ankle, there was a something imprinted on it. The Pharaoh bend lower to get a closer look, what he saw was…well…he saw a Blue Eyes White Dragon on the ankle. He could not believe what he was seeing…[So…this Filly is branded…I better ask who did the branding] he thought to him self.

"Isisa…Isisa..." no answer came

"Blue Eyes…Blue Eyes…" still no answer came

"Sister…Sister…Oh screw this…FILLY"

"Uh, wha, what in the hell is going gone," groaned Isisa

"So, the Princess awakes from her beauty sleep," said the Pharaoh with a smile on his face

"Oh? What do you want?" said Isisa as she turned to face the Pharaoh

"Well, there are a few things that you and I have to talk about…like the fact that you are my sister…and maybe some other questions that need answering…like that brand for example" he said indicating to the Blue Eyes White Dragon on her ankle.

"Oh, that well that is an easy explanation, Pharaoh" she said

"You see, I was kidnapped when I was six years old and…I haven't really told anyone…well when I was held captive I was branded so to speak. I kept trying to fight my way back home but they did this to me as to keep me in my place as it were. The Blue Eyes represents the spirit that lies in side of my…my Ka and I guess in a way I am proud to have the spirit of the dragon in me, but at the same time I keep saying 'why me, why me'. My mother had the dragon before me, and when she died, it was passed down to me. Do you understand?" she asked

The Pharaoh nodded and then said, "Yes, I do. But now I have another question"

"Yes"

"Now, you have to understand this is Téa's question… is there a man in your life? The answer you gave us didn't make any sense. So now give me a straight answer"

"Well, I guess you need to know…now when I was kidnapped I wasn't kidnapped by just anyone. My mother's husband and my half-brother kidnapped me; they sold me as a bride. The man they sold me to, his last name is Kaiba" said Isisa

Cough, cough "What was the name again?" asked the Pharaoh

"Kaiba" confirmed Isisa

"I see…so you are a bride to this Kaiba?" asked the Pharaoh

"No, I am the bride to the heir of the Kaiba Corporation. Seto Kaiba is my husband, we were married through proxy, and it's all legal"

"I see, so you are married to Seto Kaiba

"Yes, and well…yea that fight was well I don't know how to tell Joey that I am a married women"

"Isisa don't worry, that's what I wanted to talk to you about…the fight…" started the Pharaoh

"Why did you enter the fight? I mean they were about to end it anyway."

"It had to stop, I mean…brother I didn't want it to contiune…"

"Isisa…they were about to stop anyways, both were starting to get tired"

"I guess, that is what happens when your in love…you do foolish thigns"

"Love…are you in love with Joey?" questioned the Pharaoh

"No…I'm in love with Seth…Seth Kaiba…he's Seto Kaiba's cousin"

The Pharaoh was silent for a few moments, as he absorbed this information. He looked in Isisa's eyes, she wasn't lying when she said that she was in love. [But why would Kaiba lie to her. I mean I can understand that if he likes her, but lie to her I for some reason can't see Kaiba doing that] thought the Pharaoh to himself.

"Isisa, you are my sister, and I don't want to lie to you…but Seth isn't Seto's cousin. Seto doesn't have any cousins that I know of that share the same last name…he has a brother I know that. His brother's name is Mokuba…"

"I think you are a little mixed up, brother dear"

"No…Isisa what I'm trying to say is that Seth is Seto Kaiba"
