**Chapter 6

Beaten part 2

7:45pm

Shizuka

I was laying on my bed, about to doze-off, when my watch alarm went off.
Time for prep school...

I stood up and walked over to my night stand, I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were still puffy from when I'd been crying earlier..

I grabbed my bag and headed out the door without saying goodbye to mother.
It was dark out, but there was no moon OR stars in the sky, Street lights flickered above my head. I hate the city.
I heard a police siren..the wind blew, ruffling my hair. A dog barked, I wonder what oni-chan is doing...I wish mother liked him more...he's so nice. I still don't know why mother divorced dad...they seemed so happy together, though I do remember dad yelling at night That would always scare me, but oni-chan always helped me get through that fear..
I remember the day I had to move away from dad and oni-chan, he ran after our car, screaming... I stopped walking, I could hear the screaming in my head..but..wait..the screaming's not coming from my head! I looked around wildly, some one was screaming, but whom? And were are they?! I looked around again, it seemed to be coming from one of the alleys around the corner...

I in that direction until I saw what the screaming was coming from, a tall girl with long black hair was standing on the curb yelling at a group of people who were standing in a circle, kicking some thing, from across the street.

Oh, God, a street fight.

I ran over to the girl.

"What happened?! Who are they beating up?!"
She looked at me; tears were all over her face.

"I-I don't know!" she sobbed, " but he saved me. Please help him!" But how could I help him?! There was 10 of them and only 1 of me!

I worked up some courage and walked over to them.

"HEY YOU GUYS!"

They didn't notice me.

"HEY!"

One of them noticed me and started telling his friends to stop and look.

"Wadda you want?" One of them asked me.
Darn it! I still couldn't see who they were beating up!

"Stop beating that kid up!" I yelled..They looked at me strange.

"Why?"

"Because it's mean!" I couldn't think of anything else to say..-.-; "....Please!"

Some of them sighed...did I really sound that pathetic? They got in a circle again and whispered to each other. After a couple seconds the circle broke up and they walked away.."This is a waist of time, any way!"

I could finally see who they had been beating up..

Kaiba.

He was unconscious. There was blood all over his clothes and face, he had cuts and scrapes on his hands and face, there was a big bruise on his cheek, and his clothes had lots of tears in them.

Holy crap, what should I do?! Kaiba needed an ambulance! I ran to the nearest pay phone, leaving Kaiba with the black haired girl. I put in 10 cense and dialed 911..I waited...it wasn't ringing...I looked at the phone's screen, it read: NO SIRVICE.

I looked around...maybe I could use a phone from some ones house, but this part of town is all warehouse buildings...which were CLOSED!! I ran around franticly, looking for some one that would help us..but the streets were deserted...This is terrible!!
Just then I saw a car coming down the road. I did an incredibly stupid thing and ran out in front of the car, hoping it would stop. It did, thank God. Some one got out and ran up to me.

"Oni-chan!" I half laughed, half cried. I'm so glad he found me!

"Shizuka! What the Hell are you doing out here at night?! Don't you have to be at prep-school?!"

"Yes, but something happened! You must help us or Kaiba might die!" tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Kaiba?! Dieing?! 'US!!' What the Hell are you talking about?!"

I started to cry harder, "S-some guys were beating up Kaiba because he tried to save this one girl, I don't know the whole story, and now he's hurt really badly and no one will help us."

"Were is he?"

"In an alley a couple blocks away."

He hugged me, "let's go, then!" We got in the car. I directed him to the alley were Kaiba and the girl were. We got out and ran over to them.

Oni-chan stared at Kaiba for a moment. "Whoa! Kaiba really got a wholloping!"

All of us carried him to the car, put him in the back seat with the girl and drove off.

"Should we take him to the Hospital?" asked the girl. I still didn't know her name.

Oni-chan answered her, "Nah, I don't think he has any broken bones or any thing. Lets just take 'im to my place and doctor him up!"

We pulled into the parking lot of oni-chan's apartments. I looked around and realized that I'd never been here before, so I tried to memorize how we got to his room: it was on the third floor, room 301.

We walked into the apartment. It was small, dark, messy, and smelled of smoke. Trash bags and beer cans littered the floor, there was lots of broken glass from bottles on the kitchen table.

"Good, dad's not home yet.." Oni-chan was mumbling to himself..
"OK, let's bring him into my room, I'll sleep on the couch tonight!"

We took Kaiba and laid him on oni-chan's bed. He pulled up a chair beside Kaiba and looked at his wounds.

"Shizuka, aaand..what's your name?"

The girl with the black hair looked startled when she was asked this."M-my name is Rikako."

"OK-then..Shizuka and Rikako, can you go and get me some cold water and a first aid kit?"

"OK!"

we walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Rikako looked at me, and started to cry.

I was startled, "W-what's rong?!"

"I-it's just...Oh, thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done if you and your brother hadn't come along!" She hugged my tightly, sobbing on my shoulder. 0.0;; I patted her on the back..^^;

We came back into oni-chan's room with a glass bowl filled with cold water and a washcloth, and the first aid kit. He took them both

"Thanks you guys"

Oni-chan took the wet washcloth out of the bowl, folded it up and placed it on Kaiba's forehead. He opened up the first aid kit and hesitated.

"Arg, this feels strange! Shizuka, you do it!"

He got up from the chair, walked over to me, and then sat ME down in it.

Oni-chan grined at me, "Just give 'im some band aids or somthin'..I don't care!" He walked out of the room, Rikako fallowed..I was alone with Kaiba..I blushed...I hope he stays unconscious!

I took a band aid out of the first aid kit and placed it on a big cut on kaiba's thumb..I sat there for a moment, watching the blood from the cut soak through the band aid...I sighed...then something clicked in my brain...MOM! Prep school had been over for at least a half an hour! Mokuba's probably wondering were Kaiba is, too!

I got up and walked out of the room.

"Oni-chan! Can I use your phone? I need to call mother! Oh, and, sorry Rikako, but can you finish helping Kaiba?"

Oni-chan looked from Rikako to me, "Ok, but you'll have to go out side to call, we don't get a very good connection in here..."

"OK!"

I ran out side and quickly dialed mother's number.
I heard it ringing....
But I only got the answering machine..

'Hello, you've reached the Jounouchi residence. Sorry, but we cannot take your call right now, please leave a message after the beep...'

I wonder were she could be...I hpe she wasn't out looking for me!!

** BEEP **

"Uh...Hi, mother, it's Shizuka...I'm sorry, it's so late, I didn't call you..but I wanted to say that I wont be coming home tonight..."

I hesitated..I couldn't tell her that I was at oni-chan's! She'd freak! So I lied...

"I-I was walking home from prep school with a friend and she got sick...she has a very bad fever and her parents wont be home till midnight..I can't leave her alone, so I might as well stay with her...I'm sorry..I'll be back tomorrow morning...see ya..."

** Click **

I sighed...I hope mother doesn't get too mad at me..

Now I have to call Mokuba...but I don't know his phone number!! u.u;; I can't wake Kaiba up and ask him! Mabye I could call the Kaiba Corporation building and leave a message! Yeah! I'm sure oni-chan has that number on a package of Duel Monsters Cards or something!

I ran back into the apartment and went over to oni-chan, whom was sitting on the couch, drinking pop.

"Did you call ma?"

"Yep! ...uh, oni-chan...do you have a package of cards I can see?"

"Oh, yeah..sure..why?"

"I need to call Kaiba Corp. to tell Mokuba that Kaiba wont be home tonight."

"Um..ok."

He led me into his room, and pulled out a shoe box from underneath his bed.

"Here ya go, this box has all my cards in it."

"Thanks!"

I opened the box and dug through all the cards..Good! I found two crumpled packages at the bottom of the box.

I searched the back of one of the packages to find the numbers to call for questions and comments. I found 2 numbers under the bar code: Industrial Illusions aaaand Kaiba Corp.! Great!

I carried the package out side with the phone and dialed the number.
It rang for a few seconds...

A lady with a very cheesy voice answered..
"Hello! Kaiba Corporation fron desk, how may I help yooooou?" ^____^

"Um, can you let me talk to Mr. Kaiba?..." I didn't know what else to say! ^^;

"I'm sorry, he didn't check in at all this evening. Would you like to leave a voice message?"

"Yes, uh, thanks!"

"just a moment."

** Click **

I heard a computer voice

"Hello, you've reached the desk of..."

The voice broke off and I heard Kaiba's voice.

"Seto Kaiba, please leave a message if it's important."

"Oh..Um..Hi, this is Shizuka Jounouchi. This message is actually for Mokuba..I don't know your guy's home number, so I just called here.^^;; sorry!...um, Mokuba, Seto's not gunna come home tonight because he got hurt and I don't really know were you live exactly...so we're at oni-chan's apartment..don't get too worried about him! He's not too badly hurt and we're taking good care of him!!
Ok! See ya! Sorry for the extremely lame message! ^o^;; "

I hung up..I hope he gets that message soooon...!! ^^;

I walked back into oni-chan's apartment, gave him the phone and the shoe box, and then walked into the room were Rikako and Kaiba were.

I looked down at Kaiba. He had a patch on his cheek and forhead and lots of bad aids on his hands...

"How's he doing?"

"Just fine! I don't think he'll wake up for a long time, though...We just need to let him rest, now!"

"Oh, OK..."

Rikako got up and left the room, closing the door behind her...I took her place on the chair next to Kaiba and sat there staring at him for what seemed like forever..
