Chapter Three

While they were riding to Kaiba's house, Yugi was thinking. He was suspicious. He did not believe that Bakura would ever do that to anyone. Especially Jounouchi's sister. He was sure that it was Bakura's Yami who had hurt Shizuka. He turned to share his thoughts with Jounouchi.

"Jou,"

"What?"

"It was his Yami," Yugi whispered, "I'm positive. Bakura would never do that to your sister."

Jounouchi eyes narrowed. "I should have known. Oh, I am going to kill him, that little…"

"You know very well that you can't kill his Yami," interrupted Yugi with a sigh, "I wonder if Bakura knows what happened."

"I most certainly hope so," Jounouchi huffed, "I don't want to see a cheerful, oblivious Bakura ever again or I'll have to resort to drastic measures."

Kaiba leaned over and whispered, "She doesn't look too good right now. Should I go straight to a doctor or have him make a house call?"

"Kaiba," said Jounouchi, "I appreciate your concern, but we really don't need your charity. It's obvious that you are only doing this too boost your public image." Then he muttered, "Which ain't too good as we all know."

"Katsuya, being criticized by you is less effective than being criticized by a fire hydrant. Give it up."

"What I want to know, Kaiba, is the real reason why you're doing this. Whatever it is, I don't like at all."

Kaiba didn't respond.

"Did you hear me Kaiba?"

Kaiba continued to stare off into the space behind Jounouchi.

"KAIBA!!!" barked Jounouchi, "What the *%$# do you think you're doing?! Answer me!!"

Silence.

"You b&#(@# Kaiba….."

"Guys!" shouted Yugi, "Stop fighting! This isn't about you two, it's about Shizuka."

"You know what," said Jounouchi, "you're right. My sister is much more important than this egotistical ……."

"Excuse me Katsuya, I believe Motou said to stop, not start again. Think about getting your hearing checked in the very near future."

'Oh boy,' thought Yugi, 'here we go again.'

"I don't think you heard him too clearly either, Kaiba. Maybe it's all of the money you stuff in your ears."

"My money is not the issue here," stated Kaiba.

"Oh yes it is. Why else would you want to help poor Shizuka?? Like I said before, it's the publicity you're after."

"Get out, Katsuya."

Jounouchi stared at Kaiba in disbelief.

"WHAT?!"

"Oh, I am sorry. I forgot you are hard of hearing," said Kaiba, dripping with sarcasm. "I said: GET OUT, KATSUYA!!!!!"

"Then I am taking my sister with me. I'm not leaving her to rot here with you."

"Jou," said Yugi, "Remember that Shizuka didn't want anyone to know about it, especially her mother? Where will you take her where she'll be safe?"

"My house. I can take her there, can't I?"

"O-tousan, he won't like it… He might even call o-kasan."

"ARGH!!!!!" yelled Jounouchi, "Why is everyone ganging up on me all of the sudden?"

"Well," answered Yugi calmly, "I'm just thinking of what Shizuka wants. Sometimes I wonder if that's what you're doing. No offence, Jou-kan, but you are arguing with Kaiba over here more than thinking of your imoto-san"

"Well, it isn't my fault that Kaiba was the one who pulled over and started all of this."

"Oh, so you are saying that getting thrown out of my limo because of your annoying comments and general attitude is all my fault?"

"Of course! You're the one who threw me out."

"You completely deserved it, the way you were acting."

"Don't give me that, Kaiba," Jounouchi said with clenched teeth, "All I care about right now is my imoto."

"If you care so much about her, why the hell were you yelling at me just then and acting as if she didn't exist?"

"Because you provoked me Kaiba!"

"That isn't a reason to completely ignore the well-being of Shizuka, Jou," interrupted Yugi, "She just got raped and you're thinking of the best way to insult Kaiba."

"Are you two accusing me of not thinking of Shizuka first?!" cried Jounouchi in disbelief.

"Yes," said Kaiba.

"In a way, yes," said Yugi, "but I can't blame you for yelling at Kaiba."

"Motou . . . don't you start up with me now."

"I can do whatever I want, Kaiba. I don't care if you are ten feet taller than me."

"Ok, that's it. Katsuya, you can stay here with your sister IF you promise not to say anything that isn't relevant to the situation on hand. But you, Motou, you must go."

"Fine, Kaiba," they said in unison. The limo stopped; the chauffer came and opened the door for Yugi.

"I guess I have to walk from here. I'll see you later, Jou-kan. Call me about Shizuka."

"Ok, babye, Yuugi-kan." Jounouchi gave a small wave out the window. The limo started up again.

"How much longer to your place?" asked Jounouchi.

"About ten minutes or so," replied Kaiba.

They sat in silence. The only noise was the sound of Shizuka breathing softly. When they finally reached Kaiba's house, Kaiba asked

"Should we carry her in or call for a stretcher?"

"I'll carry her in, thank you very much," responded Jounouchi a bit defiantly. He bent over and picked up Shizuka.

'She's heavier than I remember,' thought Jounouchi, 'Perhaps it's because she's asleep.' He buckled a bit under her weight. Kaiba stepped towards Jounouchi.

"Do you need any help, Katsuya?" he said, half mocking Jounouchi "I don't want you to drop her now."

"I'm ….*oof* fine!" Kaibi ignored his reply and swooped Shizuka into his arms.

"I said I didn't need any help!" Jounouchi declared angrily, "Why don't you ever listen?"

"Remember our little agreement in the limo, Katsuya. If you want to stay, keep your mouth closed." Kaiba walked towards the house with Shizuka in his arms. Jounouchi followed. They traversed through Kaiba's mansion, climbing stairs and following twisted hallways, and stopped at a room with a purple bed and a wardrobe in it.

"This is where your imoto-san will be staying."
