Walk In The Rain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Why do I feel so alone?
For some reason I think of home
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It started to rain Joey could tell from the tapping on the window behind him and the fall of his mood. He had been waiting here with Anzu and Ryuzaki for well over an hour and the worry and the waiting was getting to him. Anzu was sleeping softly on his arm while Ryuzaki yawned into his hand, Joey leaned back in his seat.
"So who's the chick you whacked over the head with the club?" Joey asked.
"Hmmm?" Ryuzaki blinked and looked for the first time in his life innocent.
"Who's yer wife" He asked again.
"No one you know Wheeler" The brunet said shifting his weight on the other foot.
"Is she a looker?" Joey winked and smirked.
"I'm not like that any more believe it or not, my defeat in Battle City sorta humbled me I guess" He sighed and crossed his arms over his chest.
Silence.
"Why a cop?" The blonde looked up at Ryuzaki.
"I dunno, seemed like an ok idea when Haga and me thought about it after collage and shit" He shrugged.
"And what did you run off to do Wheeler?"
"Things a guy like yerself would frown on.."
"Ah I wont go there then.."
The doors to the operating theatre opened and out waddled a short plump lady with a smile as she pulled her gloves off. Ryuzaki and Joey both walked over to her while Anzu lay down across the seats of the waiting room still in a peaceful slumber.
"Good news gentlemen, she'll be just fine" She grinned.
"Thank fucking god!" Joey breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can come see her in a little while she needs her rest she lost a lot of blood" The woman said and bowed her head.
"Thanks" Joey smiled.
"And by the way, Ryuzaki.. Thanks" He held his hand out to the brunet.
"No prob" Ryuzaki nodded and shook his hand.
Joey smiled and looked at his once upon a time enemy. He may have lost friends in his move but it now seemed like he was making one. Maybe Ryuzaki could be one of the people like Anzu and his sister not to mention Mokuba that would bring him his soul back.
Make him human once again, give him back his reason to live? Things started to look up for him now. Maybe he was brought here for a reason, Tristan would be out of jail in a few years and maybe Ryou would get better?
Anzu woke up with a yawn and saw Ryuzaki and Joey and smiled brightly. This was the Joey she was longing for, the one that believed in seconded chances even if he was blind to giving himself one. She sat up and yawned a little.
"From this I'd say Serenity's ok?" She asked.
"Right" Joey nodded.
The rain started to calm down a little but it still made the rooms look dark and the sense of the dead still flowed along the halls like a bad perfume. A little later the three went into the room Serenity was recovering in. The girl smiled and sat up a little looking at her brother with tears in her eyes.
"Joey" She coughed out as he walked over and held her hand.
"You came back, you really came back.."
"How could I not? I love you and all my friends, it just took a small goth and a car drive for me to realise this" He kissed her forehead.
"Are you staying?"
"Yes I promise this time that I will never leave you, I'm here for you like I should have been all those years ago"
Ryuzaki and Anzu shared a glance and smiled at the Wheelers. Things were going to be ok now or where they? The door slammed open and in walked a man who smelt of beer and hatred. He shoved the nurses out the way.
"There you fucking are you whore!" He yelled.
Serenity screamed out and gripped Joey tightly. The man was tall with short brown hair he was also well built. He pushed Anzu and Ryuzaki to one side and grabbed Joey by his neck. Joey could smell the tainted stench of vodka.
"What are you doing near my wife pretty boy?" He hissed.
"The question is what are you doing near my SISTER!" Joey growled back.
"Fuck you! Her brothers dead or in hell whatever or did this bitch lie to me?" He glared at a shaking Serenity.
"I guess I'm back from the grave" Joey was let go and saw a fist flying towards him.
Joey was flung across the room from the power of the punch, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, Anzu screamed when the man pulled out a knife and went to attack the brunet girl. Joey weakly tried to reach for his gun. Another scream was heard followed by a loud shot.
The man fell to the floor and landed with a sickening gargle as blood ran out his mouth and onto the once clean white floor. The knife he was holding fell limply from his open hand as the last of his life slipped away drop by drop.
Everyone looked at where the shot had come from, Ryuzaki brushed his bangs off of his face and behind his ears as he put his gun away. Joey stood up with the help of Anzu, Serenity was shaking a little from the shock and fear of what the man she once loved was going to do to her.
"Nailed the bastard" Ryuzaki said at last.
"I could have done that myself.." Joey trailed off.
"But I would have had to arrest you, this way no one gets in trouble and a bastard has been put to rest" Ryuzaki stated.
"I'm so glad you did that Ryuzaki, I was so close to killing him myself" The girl sighed.
"Don't worry we here for you now" Anzu hugger the younger woman softly.
A few weeks later..
The church was empty other then a few people. The rain was light and made the graveyard seem more lonely then ever but the truth was the dead had friends even when they passed on. Joey sighed and looked at both gravestones before kneeling down and placing a bunch of flower on both.
He was wearing his long green trench coat, he smiled and looked to Anzu and held her hand tightly as their fingers intertwined. Anzu rested her head on his shoulder and smiled as the rain dripped off her bangs. Ryuzaki stood beside the two his arms crossed and for once he wasn't wearing his hat.
Serenity bowed her head in thought and smiled at her brother and his new girlfriend and wife to be as she held Joe's hand. The child was getting used to his new father and his aunt. He blinked and looked up at the teenager beside him.
Mokuba held the necklace he had of Seto tight in his hand as he looked at both Seto and Yugi's graves. It was a cold day but no one felt cold, it was a time for a new start, new relationships and friendships had been formed from the wreckage of one person's life.
"I'm glad you came back Joey" Anzu smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I am too I really am"
Mokuba grinned and watched his adoptive parents kiss and knew that this was the family he wanted to belong to, and he knew this was for life. He looked at the sky and smiled, Seto always had a way of taking care of him one way or another.
Everything was going to be ok, everything is after a storm. Lives may be tattered and torn but everything can be fixed. It just takes a little time, effort and care for it all to work. And that my friends is just what they did. And hey, Joey never got caught for the stolen car. His luck never really did run out..
