Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or the characters. Just the idea for the story. Yep. -___-'
Warning: This story contains yaoi relationships, crude language, use of alcohol and drugs, abuse, attempted suicide, attempted murder, death, blood, and other really disturbing stuff you'd find in a "dark story" as I call it. ^-^'
Quick Info: Sentences or words in italics are thoughts. OCCness is a biggy in this! Of course, all romance stories with yaoi have OCCness. Duh!! =P
AnimeFan: Hello everyone! I know what you are thinking...this is another one of my pop-out-of-no-where-romance-ideas ficcy. Yep, that would be true...but for once it is not a Yami/Seto romance. (waits for readers to get over the shock) Ok, now for the next shock. Like my expiraments with Dragon's Love, I shall experiment again with a whole new pairing! This time, I'm trying my hand at a Joey/Seto pairing. (crowd gasps and a few of you faint) No, I haven't abandoned the Yami/Seto pairing fanclub...it's just that I was reading the fic An Unwanted Fate by Mountain Blue and things were getting so bad between Yami and Seto. Then this idea struck me, what if when Yami left Seto for Yugi something terrible happened to Seto and Joey came to rescue him in time? Thus, I present to you my fic...Not A Moment Too Soon.

Not A Moment To Soon

A Shattered Heart
"I'm sorry Seto...but things just aren't working out to well between us."
No...this can't be happening to me...
"Don't get me wrong, it's not you at all. It's just...well...I'm no longer in love with you. I've fallen for another. Please understand Seto-kun..."
Seto...kun? So this is how it's going to be from now on? No...I can't take this...
"I can't go on loving a lie for the sake of not causing you any pain. I just can't, please. Maybe this is just something I'm going through, a lapse or such. Lets just take a break...date someone else and see where things go from there?"
That's what they always say...I trusted you Yami. I opened up my heart and soul to you and this is what I get in return?
"I...I understand Yami. I-It's ok. That's a lie. We'll just take a break from one another for a while, maybe that's just the problem. Lies...all lies. Should of expected it. Go on to Yugi now, I'll be fine. Just need to go for a walk. A monster like me doesn't deserve true love, so I'll go now and plan my death... See ya later, Yami-san. Good-bye forever, my only love..."
Seto kept his face emotionless, hidding the fact that his heart and soul were ripping into shreds. He forced himself to look across to the other side of the lake in Domino City's park, forced himself to think of everything except his shattering heart. Yami hovered at his side for a moment, seemingly trying to decide if he should leave the brunette like this or not. Just get the fuck out of my site pharaoh! I can't hide these tears forever you know! With a slightly depressed sigh, his ex-koi finally turned and left him there to himself and his heartache.
After a while, Seto was sure that Yami wouldn't turn back and yell gotcha or april fools...he was finally truelly alone. Heh...how natural. It seems I've always been alone. He sank to his knees, no longer able to hold back the tears. Finally he let them escape and they fell from his eyes, sliding down his shaky face and falling to the sandy grass under him. As always, once you start crying you don't stop till you can't shed any more tears. So he sat there and cried, harder then he remembered ever crying in his whole life.
He cried for his mother, his father, the childhood he never had, the life he could never live... he cried for his loneliness, his fear, his hate, his future... For the rest of the night he cried until tears would no longer fall, and even then he continued to cry. Around the time the sun began to rise, he was cold, hurt, miserable, dehydrated, and he was starting to get a major migrain. Not to mention when he dared to think things over the first thing that came to him was the image of Yami holding Yugi and planting chaste kisses on that little bastard. After that image he choked a loud sob and collapsed, curling up tight and sobbing even harder.
So it continued till around seven o'clock, when he finally realized that Mokuba would surely come looking for him. He didn't want to be found, he didn't want to go home. Not back to that huge mansion full of nothing but him, his brother, and the unbearable darkness. Not back to school where he'd be forced to watch as his beloved Yami cuddles with his hikari. To watch all his stupid friends coo and smile and say how much they belong together and how good it was that Yami had left cold, heartless Seto Kaiba. Back to that damn job that ate away at his life, busting his damn ass off for a billion dollars that he couldn't take with him to his grave.
No...he didn't want to go back. He never wanted to go back to that life again. He was through with being Seto Kaiba! He didn't want to be that person anymore! I DON'T WANT TO BE SETO KAIBA!!!!!!
Screaming as loud as he could, Seto forced himself to his feet and ran. Where to he didn't know...just away from here, away from this place. As far away as he could go, in the opposite direction of his house, of Yami and Yugi's home, of his school, away from the people who cared little or nothing for him. The cloudy skies opened up and began to rain their own untold sorrow down on the earth and him. But he kept running, not bothering to take shelter from the icy-cold droplets. He just had to get away...away from the life of Seto Kaiba, to somewhere where his past meant nothing and no one cared anyway...

AnimeFan: Woah! O.o That was deep...real deep. I think I'm getting back into the great-with-writing-detail-on-angsty-stuff self. lol. Ok peeps! Read and review and I'll reward you all with the next chapter. You wouldn't bail out on me now, would you? Come on! It wouldn't hurt to read at least one Joey/Seto fic! Mind you, I never have but still... By the way, I've noticed that in most of my stories...ok, in all of my stories, I always make Seto Kaiba uke! What's up with that? Well, I don't know but Seto has always striked me as the uke sort of guy. =P
