Chapter 4-

Dont be afraid...

Who are ya?

JOEY!!!

Isnt der anythin' dat you can tell me?!

Kaiba?

Why are ya helpin' me?

Dont be afraid...

Joey tried to open his eyes open but he felt so weak. His head pounded with pain and he felt like he was going to either pass out again or barf. He tried to move his arms and his legs, but couldnt move them.

Why can't I move anythin'? Joey thought as he forved his eyes open with all his might.

Through blurred vision, Joey tried to make out his surroundings but everything was dark and danky. He couldnt see anything as he tried to move again in vain, but his body wouldnt respond to him. He adjusted his eyes and was soon able to make out the outlines of everything and from the looks of it, he looked to be somewhere that was totally full of stuff. Soon his eyes came to normal as he saw lots of stacked up chairs and instruments all over the room.

Wha' da...? Where am I?

He then looked down in his chair and realized the reason he couldnt move. His wrists were tied behind him to the chair and his ankles were tied to too. He tried once more, but once again couldnt as a pain shot through him. He then realized that his whole body was numb as he closed his eyes and lowered his head towards the ground.

Why can't I remember anythin'? Wha' happened ta me? Joey thought as his head pounded more from all the pain of trying to remember what had happened last.

Suddenly Joey heard a door opened his he opened his eyes and shot his head straight up towards the noise. He then saw light poor into the room as he shut his eyes again from the brightness of it. He then heard footsteps coming over to him as he opened one of his eyes and looked at the person coming towards him. Joey almost gasped when he saw Kaiba as all the memories started flying into his head of what had happened.

"I see that the puppy is awake." Kaiba smirked and walked right up to Joey who starting growling.

"You, what did you do?!" Joey shouted, but then realized again that there was something different about Kaiba.

Kaiba started to chuckle as Joey watched him walk around him, looking at him and thats when Joey started to freak out.

Der is somethin' really different about him, but wha' is it?

"Aww, the poor mutt, did you lose your bone?"

"Shut it Kaiba! I'm tired of your games and sick jokes! Where is my sista'?!" Joey yelled out in frustration.

He was so sick and tired of Kaiba and his stupid little games. He just wanted to know what was going on and what was with him.

Why da hell is he doin' dis? Wha' is his problem?

"Ah your sister Serenity right?" Kaiba said as he came face to face with Joey and that's when Joey realized something was different with his eyes.

Wha' da? His eyes, dey don' seem... normal. Dey look more like nothin', jus' black bottomless pits of nothin'.... wait...

"You're not Kaiba are you?" Joey said, b

reathing hard as Kaiba's smirk grew wider.

"Wow and I thought you were an idiot little Joey, I'm impressed." Kaiba said as he moved back from Joey's face.

Only one person eva' called me little Joey!

"Marik...?" Joey asked as Kaiba laughed maniaclly.

"I'm amazed, how'd you ever guess?" Marik said through Kaiba as Kaiba's body then fell to the ground in a heap.

"Kaiba?" Joey said uneasily as he reached out his legs and kicked Kaiba as hard as he could.

Kaiba moaned and turned a little, but was still unconcious as Joey got angry and kicked Kaiba again, but harder. Kaiba opened his eyes slowly as he got up and looked all around.

"Where the hell am I?" Kaiba said groggily, sitting up.

"Well I would tell ya if I knew." Joey said as he saw Kaiba spin his head around toi face him.

"Mutt, you're alive? Oh God, I must be dreaming a really bad nightmare."

Joey growled angrily at Kaiba who was rubbing his temples, "Listen here money-bags, yes I am alive and NO DIS IS NOT A DREAM!!!"

Kaiba looked over at Joey annoyed while Joey kept taking in deep breaths. Kaiba stoof up and dusted himself off, while Joey started struggling against his bonds. Joey watched Kaiba out of the corner of his eye staring at Joey, though he couldnt figure out what Kaiba's expression was... angry, confused...?

"What the heck is going on dog and how the hell did I end up here?"

"Oh so now you expect to give you all the answers?" Joey asked, while Kaiba smirked.

"If you want free then you better start talking."

Joey thought about this. He did want free and as mush as he hated getting help from Kaiba he knew that he needed it from him.

"Fine, first ya ended up here because you were under da mind control of Marik and I'm here because seemingly my sista' was kidnapped and ya knocked me out and brought me here while unda' da control of Marik." Joey said, taking in a long breath from talking so long.

Joey watched Kaiba come over to him and start to untie the rope on his ankles. Soon he went behind him and untied the ropes that were holding his wrists together.

"Why in the world would Marik want to kidnap your sister mutt?" Kaiba said as they both walked around the room trying to figure out where the heck they were.

Joey chose to ignore Kaiba's comment and continue walking around, keeping a distance from his enemy, "I have no idea what so eva; why Marik would want my sis' but once I find him i swear I'll kick his ass!"

"Like you could pup, I would like to see you try," Kaiba mused.

Before Joey could start ragging on Kaiba the door opened again as someone came into the room with someone else... Joey turned around as his eyes grew wide and the anger inside of him boiling.

"MARIK!!! LET GO OF MY SIS'!!" Joey thrashed around trying to get free, as Marik came closer with a struggling Serenity in his arms.

"I dont think so little Joey," Marik said as he stopped walking, holding Serenity close to him as she started to whimper in fear.

"I swear Marik I'll-..." Joey was cut off as Marik start cackling madly.

"Do what? Bite me?! HA! Dont you know why I kidnapped your sister Joey Wheeler? The reason is because I love her and the reason I brought you here is because of course we all thought you were dead and that is why I thought it was the perfect time to get your sister, but you were alive so I knew I had to finish you off without you babbling on and on and trying to find your sister," Marik laughed coldly as he licked Serenity's cheek slowly as Joey was confused, angered, and grossed out.

"LEAVE MY SISTA ALONE!!" Joey yelled out as he was about to run over to her, but Marik then pointed the Millennium Rod towards Joey and Kaiba.

"I'll do whatever I want to, to your sister Serenity little Joey. She is a pretty thing isnt she?" Marik said as he lowered the Millennium Rod a little, but still kept it pointing towards them.

"Don' talk ta me dat way about my sis'!" Joey said, blinded by rage.

How am I supposed ta save her if she's in the arms of dat pyscho? Ugh, dis is a bunch of BS, and he likes my sis'?! Gross!! Joey thought as he stood there.

Suddenly he couldnt take just watching him anymore as he ran up to Marik and was about to throw a punch at him when he felt himself being lifted into the air. He looked down and realized that his body was glowing and floating in the air. He look towards Marik and realized that the power of his Millennium Rod was doing this. Joey stuggled but couldnt break free from Marik's power, it was just too strong. Soon he was thrown into a wall with lightening speed and felt himself slide down the wall in pain.

"JOEY!!!" He heard Serenity yell out and suddenly he heard a loud grunt and footsteps running towards him.

"Ah you little Bitch!" He heard Marik say as someone grabbed him and helped him up from the ground and realized that it was Serenity.

"Big brother are you ok?"

Joey reached up to his mouth and wiped some blood from his busted lip as his vision started to come back into focus again. He then realized that Serenity had kicked Marik in the shin and thats why Marik was so pissed off.

Joey stood up straight and nodded as he pushed Serenity towards Kaiba, "Get outta here, I want ya ta be safe Seren'!"

"No Joey! I'm not leaving without you!!" Serenity said as she tried to get away from Kaiba who held her arm.

Joey turned towards Kaiba and looked him in the eye, "Take my sista away and jus' go where eva!"

Kaiba looked right back at him in the eye and nodded as sh strggled to get Serenity away from the room and outside.

"Foolish mortal do you think that I will not get your sister?" Marik laughed as he looked at Joey who came forward and tried to punch Marik who just blocked it.

"You can't win little Joey, I will get your sister no matter what." Marik laughed as he blocked another punch that came flying at him.

"I will win Marik, you will not eva' lay anotha' finga on my sis' again!"

-------------------------

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Serenity ran through the halls with Kaiba, struggling to get away from him to go back and help her brother.

He doesnt need to act all heroic and be like that! Serenity said in her mind but she knew that she was glad that her brother was being her hero and she knew that he would succeed in helping her, You will always be my hero Joey, please be ok.

Suddenly she felt rain fall on her as Kaiba pushed open the doors and run outside on the wet grass into the schoolyard. Serenity alost slipped, but Kaiba held onto her fast and helped her up slowly. She looked back towards the school doors and felt Kaiba start to push her along again, but suddenly two figures came through the door. Marik had pushed Joey out and was now aiming a gun at him. Serenity felt her heart give a thump as tears started to fill in her eyes.

"Look Wheeler, you have an audiance to watch your demise," Marik laughed coldly as Joey turned to see Serenity and Kaiba staring at him.

"Joey..." Serenity whispered as Marik clicked the gun.

"Say goodbye Joey Wheeler."

Suddenly a shot rang out as one thought ran through Serenity's mind. She suddenly pried herself from Kaiba's grip and ran towards Joey. She heard Kaiba yell out her name, but she didnt care, all she cared about was helping Joey.

"JOEY!!!" She yelled as she suddenly jumped right in front of the speeding bullet that was heading towards Joey.

I love you...
