"Why are we going to the hospital?"
"They need to get some employee information that only you can give in person."
Seto snorted at the rule and hung up his phone. He sat back on his leather seats and opened the mini-bar. He grabbed an apple juice; it wouldn't do to be drunk at a hospital.
Seto leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling. It was dusty. He would have to get someone to clean it. It wouldn't do to have a business partner come in with the limo in that condition.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital. Seto put his apple juice glass down in the cup holder.
"Wait here driver. I might be a while, but if you move, you're fired," Seto said as he got out of the limo.
Seto walked up the sidewalk, and through the glass doors, into the building, and was greeted by a desk receiver. He asked her where he was supposed to go.
"Oh, Mister Kaiba! Let me take you myself!" The lady hit on Seto several times and batted her eyelashes.
That made Seto think of Jou. He wondered if this was the hospital he had been taken to. Seto thought wishfully about visiting him.
"Here is the room. The police and the doctors are already inside," the lady shuddered slightly before giving Seto one last smile and putting her hand on his shoulder.
Seto grabbed her hand and shoved it away roughly. He sneered at her and went into the room, leaving her standing shocked in the hallway.
"Hello Mister Kaiba. We need some information about one of your employees," the policeman started in immediately.
Seto was stunned. Lying in the bed was Jou. Jou was hooked up to any number of loudly beeping machines and he had a tube down his mouth, presumably to help him breath. Seto stared at Jou's lifeless form. Nothing about Jou moved. The policeman shuffled back and forth, the doctor moved the clipboard he was holding, but Jou did nothing. Not even his chest was moving. Seto inhaled deeply, albeit quietly, wouldn't want anyone to know he had feelings and concentrated on the question he was being asked
"Do you know this boy?"
"Yes."
"Do you know why you're here?"
Yes."
"What time do your employees have to be at work?"
"8:00."
"Can you check and see if one Keith Howard was late for work today?"
"I could."
"Would you please?"
Seto shot a glare in the police officer's direction, making him quaver, and pulled out his laptop.
It booted up in about a second, and Seto opened a file. He scrolled down a bit, typed something and said, "He was 20 minutes late. That is the first time in two years."
"Does he have any type of problems with his appearance today?"
"Well how should I know?" Seto scoffed.
"Is there any way you could find out?"
"Yeah, let me call someone," Seto pulled out a cell phone and dialed.
"I want you to walk by Keith Howard and call me afterwards to tell me of any injuries he may have sustained."
Seto got another call a few minutes later.
"Yes.Right."
"Well, what about it?"
Seto glared at him again, and took his time answering.
"He has a black eye and two broken fingers."
The man wrote down some stuff in his book.
"Thank you Mister Kaiba, that's all we need."
Seto sighed and watched the others leave and waited until the door was closed. Then he left the chair and went to Jou's side.
"Hello Jounnuchi." Seto said and paused, sighing again.
"Shouldn't expect a reply should I? Well, I hope you come back to school soon. I don't hate you," Seto picked up Jou's chart and read aloud, "Blood loss, one broken rib, concussion, rape signs, signs of beating.Oh God Jou! Poor puppy." Seto brushed his hand along Jou's forehead, "My poor puppy," his eyes were soft and sad.
Suddenly, Seto realized that Jou might be able to hear him. He blushed and left immediately.

Yugi ran down the hall and into the councilors office, without knocking. The sight that met him would have been funny, though rather ruinous to Yugi's innocence, if he hadn't been distraught. As it was, Yugi screamed and ran out of the room, out the school door, and into the park.
Yami saw nobody around, so he separated from Yugi and started to hug and comfort him. Little did they know, Seto was watching them from above, in a tree.
Seto listened to their conversation for a while before deciding to leave the two almost identical boys alone for once.

Tap tap tap tap tap. Bakura's feet made a muted sound as he ran on the sidewalk. He was at the last place he could think of, the park. It had been 5 hours since he had started his search.5 hours since he had been an ass.
"Ryou.Ryou.where are you? Please come out, let me explain.at least talk to me! Come on! If you're here, give me a sign!"
Bakura suddenly had the urge to either cry or kill someone. Bakura couldn't figure out where these feelings were coming from, until he realized that Ryou had opened the link.
/WHY? YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD NEVER HURT ME AGAIN! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?!/
//Well, maybe its because I wanted to..//
/TO WHAT? MAYBE YOU WANTED TO SLICE ME WITH A KNIFE SO I WOULD KNOW THAT I HAVE TO LISTEN AND AGREE TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND DO!/
//Ryou.its nothing like that.I just wanted to.//
/YOU WANT TO WHAT? YOU WANTED TO TEACH ME TO BE TOUGH? WHAT IS THAT? IT'S A LAME EXCUSE FOR YOU BEING STUPID AND RUDE AND EVIL!/
//Ryou.I only wanted to apologize!// That last word had taken everything Bakura had to say it.
/What?/ Ryou broke down in tears. He couldn't control them anymore. In fact, he was so incoherent that he allowed Bakura to cuddle him.
Bakura picked up Ryou and carried him home, in his arms, like a ragdoll.

Well.that was really random.I don't think its really all that well written either.but I'm too lazy to change it.and hey look, this chapter is 5 pages long.YAY!
