a strange life .....................

When Tristan and Kaiba brought Joey home, they had to help him up the stairs becaus eit was an appartment without a lift. They both carried him up, while Joey just blushed becaus ehe was a little embarassed. When they finally got him up, Joey digged up his key and opened the door. The appartment was neat, only a little dusty for some reason. The kitchen was entirely cleaned up and a few letters were lying next to the door.

There were two sleepingrooms but only one was used. Trsitan and Kaiba looked around a little confused, there were no signs of anyone else living here. Joey smiled a bit and asked Tristan to bring him to his room. Tristan carried the semi-shorter blond to his neat room. There was dust there too. Joey sighed and bowed forward to get something from under his bed. He grabbed a duster and started to clean his room.

Kaiba suddnely walked into Joey's room and grabbed the his hand to stop him from cleaning. He looked a little troubled and also confused. In his hand, he held a letter that was kind of yellow. It seemed that it was allready a pretty old year, and the date said that it was from 3 years ago.

"Joey, what is this?" asked Kaiba while he stared coldly in his eyes. Joey blinked a few times and stared at the letter. Suddenly, he grabbed the letter and started to read it frantically. He stopped breathing when he finished reading it. "You read this?" asked Joey a little troubled. Kaiba just nodded and narrowed his eyes.

Tristan was clearly confused and snatched the letter out of Joey's hands. Tears were starting to well up in joey's eyes while he saw how Tristan's eyes grew wider and wider with every sentence he read:

Dear Joey.

I'm sorry to tell you this son, but I can't hold o much longer. I can't get back to Japan soon enough to see you one last time. Apparently, the doctors couldn't find a remedy to cure me and they just found out it was too late for me. The first thing I did was grab pencel and paper to write you this letter.

I know how stubborn you are, you prooved that to me when you watched how your mother and serenity moved to Amerika, and left us behind and so I know that you won't go to an orphanage. To help you, I told the doctors that you still live with your mother and I will give you everything I own. Only, it won't be enough to keep you safe for very long so I'm afraid that you will have to find yourselves a job.

I know you will be able to handle it Joey. But if you do get into trouble, don't ever doubt about asking your friends to help you, I know how good your friends are for you.

Farewell my son, and never give up your courage.

Shinta Weeler, you're loving father

By now, Joey couldn't stop crying anymore. For so long, he didn't ever cry, not even when he was beaten to a bloody pulp, but now, he had to let it all out. Kaiba and Tristan were both shocked, they never realized that Joey was having such a hard time.

Kaiba layed a hand on Joey's shoulders and kneeled before him. "Joey, you don't have to live like that enymore, why don't you come living with me and Mokuba?" he asked quietly. "I will help you with your pratctices and you won't have to work anymore." Tristan didn't say anything, he too wanted his best friend to live with him but his parents would never agree, they would immediatly start complaining about another mouth to feed, so he was happy that kaiba asked him too.

"come on Joey" he tried one last time. "Let me help you" Joey looked at Tristan nervously who just nodded at him with a smile. "You won't have to live like that anymore, it would get to hard on you." Eventually, Joey nodded at him and receied a sigh of relief from both brunettes.

Soon enough, all of Joey's stuff where brought over to Kaiba's mansion. He got a new room, in a beatifull blue colour and with enough room to hide an elephant in it. Mokuba immediatly agreed with kaiba to let Joey live with them. The staff was happy to have a friendly face in the house that wasn't working on the computer the entire time and they gladly helped him with his legs.

Every now and then, tristan would come by to help too and soon enough became a guest that would come every saturday. Yugi and Tea would come too, even Mai came to visit him once, and Yami gave him one present. He used his ancient shadow powers to cast a spell on Joey. It took a lot out of him, and it was dangerous for the pharoah himself but he was able to combine Joey's will with his powers so that he could walk again, eventually. And even though he didn't use his legs like before, he was able to run again, but this didn't keep him from living with the CEO and his little brother for as long as he could.
