Me: Yes'm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

Jounouchi looked at me...hurt in his eyes... was I defending Ishtar by not saying anything to the detective? I couldn't take this. I turned on my heel and jogged out of the house. Down the street I ran faster and faster past more and more people. I was breathing heavy..panting..I ducked into and alley way that seemed to be deserted.

"DiD YoU EnJoY YoUr NiGhT OuT RyOu-ChAn?"

Chills drove up my spine.I knew that voice.I could feel him lurking closer to me from the shadows.I held my breath completely and turned around to face him.His eyes were darker than usual..he was pale..had he been worried.??..Yes worried that I had found someone else....Not about my welfare.

He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me into a wall. I was shaking with fear....would he kill this time...or maybe next...I knew it would come to death eventaully for me. He forcefully kissed me and nibbled at my neck.He held my arms to the wall and looked into my eyes full of hurt and ....hatred? A new emtion boiled inside of me.

"RyOu...."

He chuckled into my ear the faint smell of alchol on his breath.How long could I take this? These new feelings inside me were conflicting with the old. Begging me to take a stand to make my move...to do something anything. I dropped my head and took in a deep breath realizing no matter how hard I tried I couldn't do anything.Not for love..For fear.

"KoI AnSwEr Me...."

I froze..by now you would think I could deal with these..By now you would think I would be able to respond. He looked at me again the smell of blood lingered on..Surgoku's blood..His face twicthed in anger as he slapped me and I fell to the ground..hugging my legs to my chest.

"I AsKeD YoU HoW YoUr NiGhT WaS NoW AnSwEr Me......EvErYtImE YoU DiSoBeY Me OnE Of YoUr FrIeNdS WiLl Be PlUcKeD FrOm ThE EaRtH.....GoT It?"

I nodded and began to stand slowly. I must have done it to slow..Ishatr decided to help me by pulling my hair up roughly making me yelp.

"Ryou!!!"

I spun my head pulling from Ishtar's grip as Jounouchi wheeled around the corner with Honda Yami and Kaiba. Jounouchi quickened his pace and in seconds I found myself on my feet flying towards him. I fell into his embrace he hugged me tightly trying to calm my shaking body. Ishtar grunted in frustration as he stomped toward Jounouchi. Tristan and Kaiba walked toward Ishtar adralin pumped looks danced on their faces. Around the corner to the alleyway came six or seven of Kaiba's bodyguards all dressed in black trench coats...consealed weapons.

A frown played at the ends of Ishtars lips as the bodyguards approached. He shook his head in pur rage. I knew for a fact he liked to keep his kills soundless..and with all these bodyguards that would take some effort. He smirked and winked at me..Jounouchi still held me tight in his arms as I buried my head in his chest he placed a hand on my hair and ran his fingers through it quietly comforting me.

Ishtar cackled at our embrace.

"It WoN't LaSt AnD YoU'Ll BoTh Be SoRry...I'lL Be BaCk FoR YoU RyOu-ChAn"

With that he vanished completely gone. I never found out how he did that. It doesn't matter now and I doubt it mattered before either.The details after that are alittle hazy in my mind. I remember waking up Jounouchi holding me..we were in a car..Kaiba's limo..Across from me sat Kaiba and Honda hand in hand laughing and smiling..One of the first times I ever saw Kaiba smiling.

"Are you alright Ryou...He didn't hurt you or anything?"

"Not too bad...I'll be fine."

I looked out the window to see miles of trees in the distance winding roads everywhere. Where could we possibly be going? The outline of a mansion was seeable over the trees...Kaiba's house. Why there? If Ishtar hadn't seen Kaiba protect me he would never have thought of looking here...but now it would be the first place he looked.

"Why are we....This is going to be one of the first places Ishtar looks..why are we going to Kaiba's house....?"

"No koi...This is Pegeasus's house...He is away and he heard of our situation he immediately said we could stay here."

Brillant Jounouchi..why would Ishtar search for me here? He wouldn't..even if he knew I was here would he dare?....Never mind I know he would...He is insane. The car pulled to a stop in the front of the house as the door open Jounouchi got out first latching onto my hand and guiding me out. Honda came out and Kaiba next. I felt care free...for a second in time I thought everything would be fine....Its funny out fate turns..
