Sorry it took me so long, my Internet kind of went bye bye on me. Forget the disclaimer.....

'This isn't happening to me, this cant' be real.' Joey kept on thinking this all the way in Kaiba's limo. He chose to go with Kaiba he had no other anyways. He was cold, sick and lonely. He had no one left but his enemy.

"You look tired Wheeler, you know this is a big car, you can lie down and sleep, it'll be a while till we get to my place."

"Surprisingly (yawn) you care, do you really have a heart after all." Said Joey with another yawn and wiping away the remains of his tears, barely knowing what he just said.

"I only pity you. Your still third rank to me". Replied Kaiba mockingly. But when he finished he already saw Joey asleep.

(Joey's Dream) "Ahhhhhhh!" came a scream from the shadows. "That sounds like Serenity," cried Joey "I'm coming sis". "Ahhhhhhh!" that was his mother. Joey stop running. He knew his mother hated him. That why she left his father. She always told him that he was an accident. Suddenly Joey was surrounded by darkness everything went black. "I'm lost... It's too late...they left me".

(End)

Joey woke up crying. "You cry a lot don't you mutt." Said Kaiba. Joey turned around and saw Kaiba sitting beside his bed. "Ah! Kaiba! What are you doing here?" "Aren't you jumpy this morning. You had a fever when we came here last night. I let my maid rest and said I'll look after you, besides, I always take care of Mokuba when he sick and the maids don't know anything about taking care of a sick person. I'd go back to sleep if I was you, rather high temperature. I have to go to work now." Said Kaiba "Work? Now? But its 6:30am." Said Joey. "Oh crap! I'm late!" Kaiba runs out. (Kaiba's POV) Joey thinks that my life is so simple. I suffer too. I have no time to enjoy myself, I either at school or work. I have only lived for Mokuba. Once he's old enough and strong enough I'll leave...permanently. My life has already been damaged, nothing else can hurt, and nothing more can be worse then this life. However, I didn't rely on anyone, maybe that's how I got this far, but Joey, he relays and all his friends and now me. I don't think I can leave him either, for now. Your caring for the boy now aren't you? No! I don't care about anyone but Mokuba and myself, I just pity him. Sure, just don't open up to much; you don't want him to know everything about you... (End) (Joey, at Kaiba's house) "Hey, Joey. What are you doing here?" asked a curious little ten-year-old.

"Hi Mokuba. I don't really know what I'm doing here." Lied Joey. He didn't want to tell his story to Mokuba. "I say your lying, because you're in my brothers bed." Joey blushed "Well yesterday I wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to go home. So your brother offered to take me hear." "Seto must really care about you, or else he would of giving you the guest room bed." Said Mokuba. "I'm going now." I think I should get up now. No point in just lying here I'm useless either way. Joey thought. (Phones rings). "Mr. Kaiba, Mokuba it's for Joey Wheeler" Said one of the maids. "Ok. Joey it's for you." Called Mokuba. Joey picked up the phone. "Good afternoon. Is this Mr. Wheeler?" "Yes" he replied. "Today we found Mrs. Kawaii (a/n: Don't ask me about there American last name) and her daughter dead this mourning, I believe they are you mother and young sister." Joey just stood there in shock. He can't believe what is happening to him. He dropped the phone and broke down and cried. (From the song Pushing me away by Linkin Park; I not own this: Everything falls apart even the people who never frown, eventually break down)
