Jou was in shock. Did he just hear Seto said that? Jou sat back down as thoughts race through his brain. "I forgive you, Jounouchi" Seto said touching the bandage on his chest. Jou had his head in his hands. Tears started to form in his eyes. How could Seto forgive him just like that? Jou had almost taken his life. "Jounouchi, Are you alright?" Seto ask reaching over to touch the blonds shaking shoulders. Jou was crying now, "How can you forgive me so easily. I.I almost killed you, and all you wanted to do was to help me." He looked you and wiped his tears. "Because you were scared, that's why you shot me. I understand." Seto said in a very calm voice. Which came as a total surprise to Jou. 'Why is he being so kind, and sweet.to me?' Jou was so confused. "Jounouchi.is something wrong?" Seto ask with concern. "Why did you help me?" Where the only words that would come out of his mouth. Seto looked away from Jou's deep brown eyes.

"I know what your going through.my life as not always been what it is now." Seto took a moment of silence. " You know how my brother Mokuba and I when to an orphanage when we were younger." Jou just nodded wiping his tears away. " My mother and father got a divorce right after Mokuba was born. My father and mother had a big court battle for Mokuba and me. My father got me and Mokuba went to mother. I never really knew my father.He was always away on business." Jou nodded and thought 'that sounds a lot like my story. Well not the big court battle.' Seto looked as if he was going to cry. Never had he felt so vulnerable.until now. In this room with someone just like him. Seto never told anyone what he was telling Jou. " So with my father not there I had a in-home teacher. I thought he wanted to teach me about the world.but instead I was my learning turned to pain and suffering. He would beat me if I answer wrong. or worse." Seto couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Jou stood up and walked over to Seto. He placed his hand on the brunette's back. He softly rubbed his back. "You must have kept this end for so long." Jou said trying to comfort Seto. Seto continue to cry as he hugged Jou. Jou was in shock again, as Seto cried in to Jou's shoulder. 'Is this really happening. Seto Kaiba is crying on my shoulder.' Jou thought. He returned the hug to comfort the crying boy. 'Seto never showed his emotions.he kept so much in.' without even thing Jou lean his head over on top of Seto's. He started to stroke Kaiba's soft brown hair. "Shhh.it's ok." Jou said in a soft caring voice. Jou couldn't believe what was going on. Here he was hugging his worst enemy or whom he thought was. Jou broke the silence. "Seto, Why tell me this?" Seto back away and looked deeply in the Jou's soft brown eyes. "Your the only one who would understand." Jou looked away from the stare and blushed. Seto noticed a burse on Jou's arm. "He did that to you didn't he? I mean your father." Seto ask. Jou got up and put his school jacket back on. "Yes" Jou kept the answer simple. Jou looked hurt. Someone had actually seen his bruses. For so long he had hid them from the world, and his friends.

Seto lay back down. "I must had say something wrong." His tears still fresh on his cheeks. "Mokuba came and visited you after you where shot." Jou said, his back still toward Seto, trying to change the subject. " Really. how did he take it? Did you tell him who shot me?" Jou shook his head no. " You still feel bad don't you," Seto spoke softly, "Look I don't blame you for feeling bad, but I do forgive you. If you keep it from your friends you'll push them away." Jou faced the brunette. He was holding back tears. "How were you going to help me?" Seto smiled again. "Come live with me." Seto eyes got big as Yugi entered his room. Jou turn to face his small friend. "YUGI!!" Yugi stood in shock with some flowers. "What." was the only word he whispered. He looked at his blond friend. "I thought." Yugi looked as if he was about to cry.
