inu-dbz-1/2: JoeJoe's 15 in this story. sorry i forgot to mention it earlier

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joey slowely drifted back to reality the next night, as the harvest moon light shown brightly through the burgendy

colored curtains, smiling down on him, alighting his golden sunny locks. his honey colored eyes slowely blinked open,

followed by a loud yawn. Joey stretched a bit, untill he got a satisfied pop out of each of his arms, and then rubbed the sleep

from his eyes. vaguely, he remembered that he was'nt in his own state, let alone his own house. but the thought did'nt

exactly bother him, untill he heard some one calmy stride into the room, followed by an extra weight on the bed.

now fully awake, he was'nt surprised to see none other than the great Seto Kaiba sitting at his feet.

"morning! or should i say night." Seto said, as he placed a gentle peck on Joey's cheek. "what's gotten into you? were'nt

vampires supposed to be cruel and heartless?" Joey asked, a slight monk in his tone.

"nope, not all. just me. and maybe i like toying with you."

Seto gave him a playfull wink. "speaking of which, how do i know you're a vampire any way? can you

give me some sort of proof?" "hmmmmmmm. well, i could suck all your blood and fluids fromyour body.

would that be enough proof?" Joey's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. all though it seemed very unlikely,

he could'nt help but believe him.his eyes held no signs of a lie, what so ever. and that would explain the freakishly long fangs,

and why he slept durring the day"um, no. that's ok. i'll just take your word for it." this brought a smile to Seto's face.

he liked it when people cooporated with him. it saved him a hell alot of time. and he did'nt like to get rough

( A/N: except for in the sack ^_ )

"good. in that case, i'll be down stairs. why don't you come down?

no point in staying up here all night." Joey nodded his head, his blonde locks swaying as he did,

stood up, and followed his new master down stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

once there, he was immediately pounced on by a very hyper Yugi, causing him to lose, but then regain his

footing before he fell. he looked down at the hyper child, who looked as if he was having fun squeezing the air out of his body. "hello to you too." " JOEJOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did Seto tell you?" Joey quirked an eye brow at his hyper new friend. "did Seto tell me what?"

" that we're vampires, you silly goose!" once again, Joey was shocked. "you mean you're one too?!" Yugi cocked his head

to one side, and giggled. "of course i am! we all are! oh, but don't worry! we won't suck your blood........yet."

"oh good.........what do you mean YET?!" "oh, nothin. nothing. i was just kidding! ( not )" Joey sighed in relief, totally greatfull

this was'nt gonna be his last night alive. "well, i'm gonna go help Yami fix dinner. bye JoeJoe!" Joey only gave a simple nod.

he looked over to his right, and something interesting caught his eye. in the hall way hung a painting. in order to get a better

look, he stepped closer. once in view with the large portrait, Joey looked on in awe. it was a painting of a man. probably

another vampire. he was a very elegant, handsome looking man, but also quite old. probably in his mid fifties.

he had shoulder length silver hair, his visible eye was a deep amber, his other eye hidden by his shiny locks, and

he was clad in a very expensive looking crimson colored suit. Joey was so rapped up in the lovely piece of art, he did'nt feel

Seto's icy breath down his neck. Seto snaked his arms around his waist, getting a surprised jump from the pup. "did'nt i tell

you not to sneak up on me?" Seto smirked. "yes, but you just make it so easy." Joey sighed, and relaxed some what.

"what do you want? hopefully not my blood." "no, actually i was wondering if you'd like to take a walk through the gardens.

it's a lovely night." Joey turned his head slightely, and looked out the window. he had to admit, it was nice out. and he had'nt

seen the gardens yet. "i guess so." Seto smiled with delight, and nuzzled his head in the crook of Joey's neck. "good."

with that, he placed a gentle kiss between his shoulder blades, and took him by the hand, leading him out of the

large house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joey was utterly amazed. the garden was huge! it was atleast 50 acres. and it would be so easy to get lost in there.

his thoughts were interupted as Kaiba grabbed hold of his hand and litterally dragged him through the maze, Joey doing his

best to keep up. "this was one of my favorite places when i was younger. in the summer time, it's filled with red roses. my

absolute favorite!" Joey barely avoided tripping over a stray rock. "where are we goin?" "huh? oh! well, if you manage to

get to the middle of the maze, there's a HUGE fountain. " [ hmmmmm. i know a quicker way to get there. ] "hold on to my

waist." Joey quirked an eye brow, but did as he was told. "ok. what for?" "i'm going to fly u there. it's alot quicker."

Joey gulped, and furriously shook his head. "no, see, it's really silly, but i have this terrible fear of hights." Seto chuckled a bit.

"don't worry. i'll never let you fall." Joey's heart practically fluttered out of his chest. he knew what he ment, but the way it

sounded, made him discover a new found trust for the vampire. so he nodded, and gribbed Seto's shoulder's tightely,

and in seconds they were off. Seto looked down at the young blonde, admiring his beauty. there was just one problem.

his eyes were squeezed shut. he wanted to gaze into those amber orbs. so he reached down with a clammy cold hand, and

stroked his warm lightely tanned cheek. "open your eyes precious." Joey's eyes slowely blinked open, to gaze into

loving blue eyes. // wait a sec........loving?!// Seto noticed the look Joey was giving him, so he quickely averted his eyes,

and put his icy shield back up. Joey looked down in disappointment. // why am i so disappointed? i don't like him! i'm

not gay!........am i?// Joey felt him self being lowered to the ground, and figured it was safe to look. "we're there." at this, Joey

looked up and gasped. when he said huge, he ment it. and much to his surprise, the fountain was still on, even though

it was in the middle of winter. Seto grabbed ahold of his hand, and tugged a bit, gesturing for him to follow. and Joey did just

that, untill they came to a small bench right next to the fountain. Seto sat down first, followed by Joey. Seto could'nt help

but stare at the lovely boy. he knew he liked him. no, more like obbsessed with him. he knew that the first time he

layed eyes on him. and what Seto wanted Seto got. meanwhile, Joey just stared off into space, watching as the snow

flakes fell around them, occasionally falling into his golden hair. he shivered. like the idiot he is, he did'nt remember to bring

a coat. fortunately, Seto saw this and pulled Joey's shaking body to him. Joey immediately stopped shaking, and by instinct

cuddled into him. he was surprisingly warm. he was expecting him to be freezing. i mean, would'nt a dead person be cold?

"don't be silly. i'm very much alive. my body's just dead." "y-you can read my thoughts?" "huh? oh, yes. i guess i forgot

to tell you." Joey chuckled a bit. wrapping his arms around him self, Joey averted his eyes. "Joey.....look at me."

Joey turned his head, so he was now face to face with Seto. Seto took his chin in his hands, and slowely leaned in.

he cautiously licked at Joey's bottom lip, silently asking for entrance. much to his disbelief, Joey complied, parting his

lips, granting him his silent wish. there tongues danced along each other, in perfect harmony with the falling crystal

flakes. once Seto felt some what safe and more confident, he reached down and gentely brushed his finger tips over

Joey's back side. Joey's eyes grew 3 times there normal size, and he quickely broke the kiss. "what? what's wrong?"

( as if he did'nt know ) Joey was glaring daggers at him, and swiftly brought his hand up, and across his face, leaving a

crimson colored hand print. "I SAID YOU COULD HAVE A SNACK! NOTTHE WHOLE KITCHEN!" with that, Joey got up

and stormed out. but unbeknownst to him, Seto caught a glance at something. on Joey's face layed a pretty pink blush,

and a small smile. there was still hope
