More Than A Brother Should

Chapter 21

A/N Just to give you all the heads up. This one goes back to when Mokuba just saw who took him.

Joey stood there watching a shocked Mokuba with a smirk on his lips. "Ya I need you out of the way." He said still smirking at the teen.

"Out of the way?" Mokuba asked. The confusion was easy to hear in his voice and read on the teen's face.

"You are way to clinging to my Seto. Just about anywhere he goes you are not far behind him." Joey said with a glare aimed at Mokuba.

"Your Seto? And I don't follow him like some puppy." Mokuba said as by now he was standing up and glaring right back at Joey.

"Yes on both accounts. But I understand why Seto lets you follow him and keeps you around. He doesn't want to be lonely. Something he won't be once we hook up." Joey said with a smile.

"You are really messed up in the head. I've told you before that Seto hate you. Wants nothing to do with you." Mokuba said.

"Yes he does!" Joey growled at the young teen. "I'll prove it to you and everyone." With those words Joey turned and walked out.

"Damn that brat." Joey mumbled as he walked out of the building.

The building was once an apartment building. It once was part of a complex that was only half done. Money for it dried up so the building was never finished.

The room that Mokuba was in was on the ground floor and did have running water. After all this part of the complex had been finished but there was no heat or air. So there was no way to take a hot shower or bath. And the water was starting to show signs of rust forming in the pipes.

On top of that Joey had redone the locks. So now it locked from the outside. Plus the window was too small for Mokuba to fit.

Joey would bring the brat food and water but only once a day. He didn't want him to die, at least not yet. He wanted Mokuba to see that Seto did belong to him, Joey.

Right now he was pissed off at the way the brat was acting. Like he knew how Seto felt about everyone. He seems smug that his Seto would not want him.

But Joey knew that wasn't true. He had kept his present he sent him. Well for while anyways. He wasn't sure why Seto got rid of them. Maybe he had a bad at work.

It didn't matter now anyways. He had to find a way to let Seto know he would be there for him in his time of need.

He couldn't just show up. He would have to wait until Seto knew for sure that Mokuba was missing and let him try to find the brat. He would have to wait for Seto to need him. He would give him a day or two.

But Seto never went to him. At least not for a shoulder to lean on. Seto did want to talk to him about his missing brother but wanted to talk to him to demand were Mokuba was. Seto was trying to pin it all on him.

Sure he had done it. But there were others out there that could have done it. He wasn't sure why Seto zoned in on him. So he just kept his distances from Seto.

There were a few times he wanted to call his sister to let her know he was ok but soon learned not to. He had only been just around a corner when he saw Yugi talking to his sister. Yugi was walking with her and asked if had seen or heard from Joey.

Serenity told Yugi that she had not heard from him or seen him. But if she did she would let the shrimp know. So he couldn't tell her anything. Joey did feel hurt and betrayed but did not dwell on it.

Because he's plan was failing he would go back to the brat every day and not just bring him food. Joey would go there to demand to know what was wrong with Seto or what the brat had done to him.

"You must have done something? Seto should have come to me by now. And not to have me arrest!" Joey yelled.

The brat had been here for four almost five days at this point.

"I've done nothing to him." Mokuba said calmly while standing next to the window. He was looking out but not really looking. He seemed not to want to look at Joey.

Joey growled at the way the young Kaiba was acting. He wanted to throw something at him or hit him.

"You must have done something! Did you blackmail him?" Joey asked as he walked in the room.

Mokuba laugh as he turned and looked at Joey. "Blackmail? Why and with what? He's my brother. I have no reason to blackmail him."
Joey finally broke as he backhanded the teen. "Don't laugh at me. I am the one keeping you alive and I could just easily kill you. In fact I just might."

Joey then smirks at the fear that filled Mokuba's eyes. "Don't forget that I can kill you." Joey said before he turned and left.

It was another four weeks before the cops were able to figure out where Mokuba was being held. Joey never stayed in one place very long. He was always moving to cover up his tracks as to where Mokuba was. He made it seem like they moved around some.

Joey was just coming out of the room to see the cops in the building.

"FREEZE!" they yelled at him. "Hands up!"

Joey just glared as he dashed back into the room. He then used Mokuba as a human shield. "You'll have to shoot him to get to me!"

Joey watched as the cops slowly filled the room and leaving him with nowhere to go or anyway to escape. They were all yelling at him to let Mokuba go. Like hell he was going to let that happen.

The standoff lasted for about twenty minutes before a cop took a luck shot and him in the shoulder. With a cry of pain and reaching for his injury shoulder Joey had let Mokuba go.

Once he did he was rushed and pinned to the ground before handcuffs were placed on him.

Joey let out a growl when he saw Seto holding Mokuba and whispers something to him. He was in the back of the patrol car as he watched all this before he was driven away. He would get treatment for his shoulder before placed in a holding cell. He had a feeling that the Kaiba brothers were not done with him. He had a feeling that it might go to trial.

But no matter the outcome he was not done with them. He vowed to himself that he would get back at them for this. He would get rid of Mokuba and take Seto for his own. He promised himself that.

A/N There is the next chapter. Like I said this one went back a bit to show what was going on while Seto was trying to find Mokuba. The next chapter I am working on it and its going to be the trial.

As for that chapter it is taking me a while to get it written. So far it is seven notebook pages long and maybe half way written. So please be patient with me.

As for this one I hope you all liked it and I hope to see you all with the next one.
