AN: Ge ppl seem SO interested in this fic T.T' thanks to those who HAVE been RnRing ^.^ enjoy!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't hear a sound Silent faces in the ground The quiet screams, but I refused to listen ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Joey was awaken by Mokuba's smiling face as he looked down at him, his black hair framing his face. Joey sat up and groaned he had one of the worse headaches ever. He saw that Mokuba was already dressed and putting his own gun into his pocket.

"Mornin' Joey" He grinned.

"Oh morning.. Damn what a night.. Dreams. I hate them" He sighed.

"I like dreams, their my escape they take me back to good times" Mokuba said in an airy tone.

"Sometimes I wonder why I dream any more" He mumbled and started to pull on his jeans and hunt for his T-shirt.

"Think Joey in a few hours we'll be back in Domino! Oh that reminds me.. What we planning on taking?"

A sly grin made it's way to Joey's face.

..

"JOEY I can't believe we hijacked a car!" Mokuba said laughing as he leaned out the window his hair flying around his head.

"Hey it was easy!" Joey grinned and put his shades on.

So what if he was going to be caught? Maybe he didn't plan on living much longer when he went back to the hell that seemed to have taken place of Domino. But he really didn't care this was going to be easy, the person had left the keys in the car and Joey had always held a certain knowable of how to brake into a car.

The car was red and it was a topless sports car a type of car both himself and Tristan had wanted to own when they could get the money together. Joey speed up on the open highway and caused Mokuba to burst into more laughter as his hair moved around in the wind.

He turned the radio on and heard a song came on that really suited the mood and he turned it up full blast. He started to sing along to it, Mokuba smiled and saw that a bit of the old Joey was coming back and this was a welcomed thing indeed.

"Like frankey said I did it my way! I just wanna live while I'm alive! It's my life! My heart is like an open highway!" Joey sang his heart out as they speed forward.

"Not long now Joey" the teen said and leaned back in his seat enjoying the warmth of the daytime sun.

Joey carried on the song and in his mind he had another flashback this time a welcome and happy one. The words of the song went more then well with each moving image of his mind.

~-~

"Tristan? I thought-"

"Hey you didn't think I'd let you do this on your own did you? Come on and show that dino dork what your made of!"

"Right!"

More flashes

"WHAT? My Serpent knight dragons attack was bounced back? HOW?"

"Oh I get it!! the red one blocked for the green!"

'It's always been the same, Tristan's always been there for me. what a true friend..'

~-~

'This songs for you Tris.'

A little later when the sun was a little lower in the sky and the oranges and purples bounced around the sky making it look like a dream. A cool breeze ruffled both boys hair and cooled them down as they came closer to a city.

Buildings reared up high and mighty and made Joey's heart sink a little as he recognised a tall once proud building that used to be Kaiba Corp. The thought of Kaiba jumping off the top and falling to his death made him shudder he glanced to Mokuba who shivered and paled at the thought of being so close to where the man who made his life hell was waiting for him.

"Dun't worry Mokuba if that bastard goes to touch you pump the wanker full of led got it?" He said turning back to see where he was going.

"Yeah I got it, thanks Joey. You have always been like another brother to me, and now Seto's dead you are all I have" Mokuba sighed sadly and smiled at the blonde.

"I won't let yas down like I did all those years ago to all those people ya can trust me now, I promise" The blonde smiled.

Joey looked around the dead streets he half expected to see his friends hanging out at the corners or walking to the burger bar together. Or even Anzu walking to her dance classes but nothing greeted his gaze other then people who would never care about what he had been through.

"Who do you wanna go see first?" The black haired boy asked.

"Who's closest?"

"The mental asylum.. Ryou"

Joey took a deep breath and nodded turning right towards the said building. It looked far from welcoming as the dim white paint of the outside looked like you could wash blood from it. The two walked up to the front desk.

"How may I help you sir?" The lady asked in a monotone.

"I'm here to see a Ryou Bakura" Joey blinked when he looked at the fear in the girls eyes and heard a cup smash in the background.

"No-No one has been to seen Ryou Bakura for over five years sir, are you SURE you want to?" She asked in a fearful tone.

"Yes" He said with determination clear on his face.

The girl paled and picked up the phone. Joey and Mokuba looked at each other in confusement and then back to the girl. She coughed and looked at them and sighed handing them two passes that allowed them into the ward.

"You will be led down to the lower wards and to Mr Ryou.. Bakura"

"Tanks!" Joey saluted.

A man showed them the way along the white washed corridors of the home of the mentally ill of this city. The walls got to Joey he hated being in such confined places and the walls were so clean like blood and death could be washed away without a trace.

They went down a flock of stairs and around a corner, the man said nothing but kept giving them dirty looks which Joey was tempted to shoot him down dead for not being the one to be walked over by people like him. They got down the basement cells.

"Here you go" The man pointed to a unbreakable glass wall that showed a cell.

"Thanks."

"I'll be waiting outside."

Joey walked over to the glass and peered in. There was a bed, a nightstand, a clock and a chair. Very simple and very boring and again everything was white. There was a desk infront of the glass with dusty notes and folders on Ryou.

The last report was from seven weeks ago, it seemed they only ever came down to feed Ryou. Joey felt a sharp pain in his head as more memories flooded him while Mokuba looked on in worry and confusement.

~-~

"Joey I have something to tell you"

"What Ryou?"

"Well I guess what I'm trying to say is I Lo-"

"HEY GUYS!"

"Hey Yug!"

~-~

He looked into the cell and saw a white haired figure hugging his knees to his chest staring into space with a small sigh. Joey leaned up against the glass and knocked on it getting Ryou's attention making the boy do a double take and slowly and nervously walk over to the glass. He tripped a little but was smiling softly.

Ryou too had changed, his long white hair was now down to the back of his legs, his skin was a tiny bit paler and his brown eyes shown with hope when he saw the blonde. Ryou put his hand against the glass and pressed his nose up too.

"J-J-Joey? I-Is th-at re-really- y-y-you?" His voice was so meek and tiny.

"Ya Ryou I came back"

Ryou closed his eyes and let soft tears run down his face as he slid down the front of the glass and burst into tears as he looked up at Joey. His heart couldn't handle it any more he missed Joey more then he missed his own freedom. Joey sat on the floor and watched the sadness flow from Ryou.

"Joey. Y-you know I L-love you r-right?" He sobbed.

"Ryou if I had realised that sooner I would never have left you" Joey tried to keep his emotions in check as the small angel in front of him carried on crying his eyes out.

Suddenly there was a bright light that engulfed the boy and died out. The hair went spikier and the figure rose. The once happy yet sad eyes of Ryou were replaced by the dark and evil eyes of Bakura who snorted.

"Well if it ain't little Joey Wheeler back from the supposed grave" Bakura slammed his fist on the glass but grumbled when nothing happened.

"You any fucking idea how fucking long I have been trapped in this fucking prison?" He snarled and slammed the chair against the glass.

"Joey. I don't think I want to be here any more.." Mokuba said tugging on Joey's jacket.

"How do you think I fucking feel?" Bakura raged on and stomped around the room.

"Bakura WHY did you end up in here?" Joey asked.

"Ryou was soooo heart broken he went nuts and started to harm himself! I went nuts and started KILLING people LIKE I WANT TO KILL YOU!" He screamed and slashed at the glass before falling to his knees.

Ryou returned and looked sadly at Joey as he tried to stand but was unable to all his strength had been gone after Bakura had been violent in trying to get out of their glass prison and final resting place. Mokuba had walked into the shadows not wanting to be seen by either Ryou or the insane yami.

"Joey I can't stop him! I want out please Joey! Please!" Ryou looked at him with pain and fear.

"I- I can't Ryou I'm sorry.."

"Fuck off you loser" Bakura's harsh voice cut in sending him into another flashback.

~-~

"WHHAAAAAAAA GIANT BAKURA?"

"Oh great, I'm like 6 inches tall wearing a dress and about to fight my giant friend?"

"That's not the REAL Bakura but an evil spirit"

~-~

"It's time to go sir" The man at the door said looking over at a still raging Bakura.

"But.. Ryou.." He looked down sadly as both he and Mokuba were taken back to the outside world.

Joey leaned on the wall and pulled out his gun and placed it to his head, Mokuba gaped at him and pulled it away from him with a frown while Joey looked like he had, had his soul torn away from him and his heart set on fire.

"I deserve ta die for that I did ta him.." He said at last.

"I can't say I disagree with you there Joey" Mokuba said with honesty in his voice that made Joey want to end his life right there and then.

"Are you ready for the next person?" Mokuba asked as they both got in their stolen car.

"And who would THAT be my gothic friend?" The blonde said dryly as he put his hands on the wheel.

"Anzu"
