Akkadia: *is lost in a Yu-Gi-Oh magazine*
Karria: *waves her hand in front of Akkadia*: hello, anybody home?
Yami: *walks in with Yugi* don't even bother, she won't budge!
Karria: Then who's gonna write the chapter.
Joey: *STILL under Akkadia* you wanted to write it remember..
Karria: *sweatdrop* oh yeah, I guess I'll do the disclaimer. Akkadia has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters. She only owns Tenshi.
Mokuba: On with the fic!
A/N: Ok, shoot me right now. I'm soo sorry for not getting this up sooner. I've been sick! And I have writer's block. (So far the most dangerous virus known to all authors and authoresses!) Ok, I'll just shut my trap now and let you read chapter 3. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 3
Kaiba sat on the chair nearest the window. He looked outside. It was pouring. Raining cats and dogs you might say. The word dog brought Kaiba back to reality and he looked over at Joey. The blonde had fallen back asleep a few minutes earlier. Kaiba was glad. When he saw the look in Joey's eyes is just sent a jolt right through him. The emptiness in them was something Kaiba had never seen in anyone before. He shifted his position in the chair. As he did this, Kaiba felt the diary in his pocket. He pulled it out and looked at the entry after the first one he'd read.

Dear Diary
It hurts to actually write but I feel that if I do some of the pain will wash away. I've just received another 'lecture' as my dad calls them. He's starting to get obsessed with seeing me in pain. Sometimes I think that's all he gets pleasure from; the sight of my blood. Usually I just take it as it comes. But this time he went a little too far and I tried to fight back. Big mistake. Right now I'm surprised I'm not unconscious. Well that's all I better write for now. Dad's going to be gone for a few days. That gives me sometime to rest. But I know it doesn't mean the pain will end. If the other's knew exactly what went on, on the other side of my front door I'd never forgive myself. I have to handle this myself. I can't let my friends get hurt. And Serenity. No I can't let my baby sister know what an example her big brother's making. She can't find out. I'll kill myself before I let her see me suffering. I also have to make sure Kaiba doesn't find out. If he does he'll just have another excuse to call me worthless. Maybe that's what I am. Yeah. I'm nothing. So, if I'm nothing I'll just act like it. Who will care anyway? I can't predict when I'll right again.
Joey"
Kaiba turned the page and realized it was the last entry. He closed the book and placed it on the windowsill. The sound of the heart monitor made a high pitching sound. Seconds later a group of doctors and nurses rushed into the room. Kaiba stood in the back round and watched the professionals do their job.
"We're losing him!" one nurse said.
They pulled out the shock pads. The doctor placed the pads on Joey's chest, "Clear!" Joey's body jolted back, "Clear!" they did this five times, "We've got a heartbeat!" Kaiba was able to see between the doctors. A small gasp escaped his lips. Joey's chest was covered in scars, burns and cuts. He knew Joey had some but that wasn't just some.
Another doctor walked into the room, "Dr. Hewlard, we've got the test results back. You were right. He's fallen comatose."
Kaiba went into shock. Comatose? No it couldn't be. Joey couldn't be in a coma.
"Mr. Kaiba we're sorry but visiting hours are over. I'm afraid you must leave for the night." one nurse said.
Kaiba was about to protest but remembered that Mokuba was home alone. He picked up the book from the windowsill and glanced at his watch. It was already 9:30! He nodded, "I'll be back tomorrow." he said. Not waiting for a reply Kaiba raced out of the hospital. He ran down the street. The icy rain blurred his vision but he was still able to see where he was going. The droplets felt like bees stinging all over his face. In seconds Kaiba was soaked to the bone. He finally made it to the Kaiba Mansion. Kaiba snuck past Mokuba's halfway open door. He stopped long enough to look into his brother's room. Mokuba was sound asleep. Kaiba smiled, "I've taught him well." he said to himself. Kaiba made his way to his own room and closed the door. After a quick hot shower, he changed into his boxers and his white t-shirt. Kaiba crawled into bed and pulled out the book he'd been trying to finish. It was called 'My Hidden Shadows'. After about an hour of non-stop reading, Kaiba could feel sleep starting to take it's toll. He marked his spot, closed the book and placed it in the little drawer of the side table. He was about to turn out the light when he heard a small knock, "Yeah?"
Mokuba's messy black hair appeared, "Big brother. I...I had a really bad nightmare." His face was clearly tearstained and evidence of tears were visible in his innocent brown eyes, "I...I know..."
Kaiba just smiled, "Come on." he pulled back his covers and padded the empty space beside him.
Mokuba entered the room but didn't go to his brother, "I...I thought you wanted me to give that up."
Kaiba got out of bed and walked over to Mokuba. He enveloped his brother into a hug, "I know but I also know that you're still a little kid at heart. Don't be embarrassed, Mokuba. Everyone needs to be comforted sometime." He led Mokuba to his bed pulled the covers over them, "I love you, Mokuba. Don't ever forget that." he lightly kissed his brother's forehead.
"Seto would you sing to me, please?" the tone in Mokuba's voice showed that his nightmare had seriously scared him.
Kaiba sighed, "Oh all right but just this once."
Give me a smile
I'll give you my laughter.
Give me a frown
and I'll give you my tears.
Give me a moment
And I'll give you forever.
Give me your trust
and you'll have nothing to fear.
Kaiba stopped singing when he saw Mokuba sound asleep. He stroked his little brother's hair and smiled. Not knowing just how lucky he really was.
Karria: *looks up* hey I didn't do to bad!
Joey: *attempted to get out from under Akkadia a few paragraphs ago but failed* Oh great now I'm permanently in la-la land!
Akkadia: Well it depends on where I'm gonna take the story.
Everyone: *REALLY loud gasp* she speaks!
Akkadia: Oh shut up.
Yugi: 3 reviews = chapter 4!
Karria: *waves her hand in front of Akkadia*: hello, anybody home?
Yami: *walks in with Yugi* don't even bother, she won't budge!
