Hey ya'll. I apologize for my last chapter being so short. As I promised this on is longer.
I have been writing it all week at school. Like instead of doing my work I would write
down my story on pieces of paper. Somebody (a friend and fellow yu-gi-oh fan David.
He has like a Brooklyn accent........ Did you ppl know Joey actually has a Southern
Italian accent?) wanted to read it and I felt soooooo embarrassed........... Ok......... lets
think about, I write fanfics and put them online so many people that I don't know and I
don't get embarrassed but when a good friend of mine reads my stories I feel like
someone should shoot..............ok if anyone knows why please tell me. O yeah I
wanted to tell you guys last chapter, I just found out Yami Bakura's real name......... it's
Zork!!!! And Yami Yugi isn't really Yami Yugi its just plain Yami or Pharaoh Yami.
Cool huh. I think that Kaiba's evil spirit is back in him cause when he was ranting about
being the top duelist Mokie was like 'Not again' or something. And they changed the
opening picture thing again and the year isn't over.......... Whoa.............sad just 2
more seasons unless they make another one after that. Man can't wait for these few
episodes that are probably coming reeeeaaaaalllllyyy soon. Like maybe right after this
four way duel is over. Can't tell what they are though. Well enough of my ranting and on
with the story..................
Shadow Guardian of the Gate: Me too! . On both things.
Hiei13: muwhahahahaha. I looove cliffy's........unless their on other people's stories
then I don't like them too much.
Kumori Sakusha formerly Saelbu: I hope this was soon enough if not I'm sorry. Please
forgive me. puppy dog face
Disclaimer: hmph. I STILL don't see a point in saying this but I'll say it anyway
.....ahem....... I don't not own yu-gi-oh or any of its characters. If I did I won't be
writing my stories (maybe) on fanfiction.net or begging for money or a job now would I.
Warning: there maybe be language and later on defiantly violence.
Joey ran until he reached the kitchen where Amy was making breakfast. She
looked ate her son and frowned.
"Joseph...............what's wrong? Are you alright? You look like you were running."
"I............was." Joey said catching his breath. Amy's eyes went wide.
"JOSEPH!!! You shouldn't be running with your leg and all. The doctor
said too much pressure could............."
"Shatter da bone completely. I know dat. But I heard dis weird voi........"
Joey stopped himself from going on. 'Yeah right I could tell her dat I heard a freaky
voice tellin' me it is yet ta come or somethin' so she can think I totally lost it and
defiantly call that old screw-headed docta.' "I........uh........thought I was goin' ta be late
fer school so I panicked and ran down hear." He lied. Serenity looked at her brother and
rolled her eyes.
"Joey when have you ever cared about getting to school on time?"
"Since now." Joey said limping (a/n: he can never walk straight again. The
doctors at first thought he'd never walk again) over to the cabinet reaching up for the
bread. Suddenly he made a yelp in pain falling to the ground gripping his leg. Serenity
quickly stood knocking over her chair and Amy ran to her son grabbing a bottle of pills.
"Oh my god! Joseph, are you alright?" Amy said helping her son sit up a little.
"I'm........Fine." Joey mumbled his voice shaking. He reached and grabbed the
bottle of pills out of his mother's hand. He dumped two pills in his hand and swallowed
them without water. A few minutes later Joey started to relax as the pain subsided. But
Amy's worried face never changed.
"Joseph..........I-I really think I should call the doctor." Amy said getting
up. Joey's eyes went wide and he grabbed his mother's arm.
"Ma, ya don't need ta do dat. I'm fine really. See?" Joey said standing up
slowly shaking from the pain of the pressure on his leg. "See...... I don't need no docta.
Anyway I've had worse Ma. Like one time I nearly died and I......."Then the tears came.
"Ma? You alright? I didn't mean anythin' by..... I'm sorry I..... Serenity help me!" His
sister ran over to comfort their mother.
"Oh Joseph.......I-I'm so sorry...........I should of..........I should
of..........oh I'm so sorry baby!" Amy cried. Joey gave a sad smile and put his hand on
her shoulder.
"Ma, its ok. There was nothin' ya could do. And I'm cool with dat. Hey
but we're all here now, right? Ok I got an idea, I'll take my meds ta school wit me and if
I still feel bad when I get home you can call da doc. 'k?" Amy looked up at her son. Joey
gave her his best puppy dog face. She laughed at Joey's face.
"Ok. But if you feel bad come straight home. You understand?" Joey
nodded. She pulled him into a tight embrace. "I love you so much and I don't want
anything to happen to you."
"Yeah...........I love ya too.............but........I........can't breathe......."
Amy blushed pulling away from her son. Suddenly the doorbell rang. "Dat's probably
Yug'." Joey said limping towards the door. When he opened the door sure enough his
short multi colored spiky haired friend stood in the doorway.
"Hey Joey. Ready for school?" he chirped in his overly happy voice. Joey
rubbed the pack of his head.
"Yeah. Just a sec Yug' I hafta get my stuff." He said turning around
heading back to the kitchen. "Hey Serenity! Yugi's here! Get your stuff......ready?" He
stared in shock seeing hid sister in front of him ready for school when moments before
she had her pajamas on and her hair uncombed. "Showoff." He muttered grabbing his
backpack and putting the bottle of pills in his school jacket. They walked out the door
saying their good-byes and headed for school, Joey trailing a little behind.
"Hey Serenity.......has Joey been doing any better?" Yugi whispered to
her concerned for his friend's welfare. Serenity shook her head.
"No. He's been having nightmares and they are getting worse. Along with
his leg's been hurting a lot lately. Even just a few minutes ago he fell because his leg was
hurting." She whispered back. Yugi looked back at his friend worried. Lately Joey has
been more to himself and constantly in pain. Also, he hasn't reacted when Kaiba talks to
him. Yeah, Kaiba doesn't insult Joey unless he does something annoying or really stupid,
but lately when Kaiba does throw an insult at him for not paying attention he doesn't
even seem to notice.
Joey's POV
I can't shake da feelin' somethin' bad is goin' ta happen soon. Hmmm.......
wonda why dose two keep starin' at me...
'It is yet to come..........'
"What!" I turned around quickly looking for the source of the voice. (a/n:
sorry people I kinda suck at pov's) I see Yugi runnin' towards me.
"Joey are you ok? What happened?"
"Didn't ya hear dat?"
"Hear what Joey?"
"Dat voice! Didn't ya hear dat voice?" I look down at him and notice he's
giving me a worried look.
"Joey, I didn't hear anything." Man, now Yug's goin' ta think I totally lost
it. Well might as well fake it.
"Heh, heh, I was jus' playin' with ya Yug'. Seein' what yer reaction be, ya
know." I look down at him. Man, I don't think he's buyin' it. Wait yeah I think he is.
Alright.
"Um, ok Joey." He looks down at his watch and starts ta panicked. "Oh
no! We're going to be late! Come on we better hurry." He says turnin' around and
runnin'. I sigh in relief. Man, dat was close. If I didn't think of somethin' real quick he
woulda thought I lost my marbles or somethin'. But I know what I heard......... I wonda
what that weird voice was talking about anyway. Well betta keep a look-out fer anythin'
weird goin' on.......
Normal POV
They reached the school surprisingly on time. Which to Yugi's mind was a great
thing. Hey the little guy had a reputation to up-hold. I mean 11 years without a signal
tardy, come on you have to get to school on time. No need to ruin it now. Right? What
would other people think............ yeah, well back on the story............
"Hey guys. What's up?" Tristan said coming up to his friends.
"Hey Tristan, hi Tea." Joey said smiling at his friends. Suddenly he felt
another sharp pain in his leg. He bit down on his lip fighting back a from screaming in
pain. 'Man not again........I'm ok........I'm ok.........' He thought to himself. He then
felt some tap him on his shoulder.
"Hey Wheeler, you feeling alright?" Joey turned around and saw Kaiba in
front of him and if you looked really hard and squinted some you might see a look of
concern in his eyes.
"Yeah. I'm fine. No need ta worry."
"I wasn't." and with that Kaiba walked over and sat down in his seat. Even
though he said that he wasn't worried, everyone knew he was. Joey saved his life and
they were friends now. Ever since he was saved by Joey (a/n: well if you people didn't
read my story it's in the second to the last chapter of this one's prequel it happens) he has
been looking after him, also saying that he didn't care about him but they knew he didn't
want anything to happen to him.(a/n: THIS IS NOT A YAOI. Sorry if you was hoping it
would be but I don't write yaoi.)
Joey staggered over to his seat and sat down also. 'Poor Joey....... I know he's in
pain and I know he won't admit it......... I'm worried about him.' Yugi thought to
himself. He was about to ask Joey if he wanted to go home when Ms.Amastad walked in.
'I'll talk to him after class.' He decided and sat down.
Throughout class Joey seemed to be getting better. After awhile his friends
stopped worrying as much and started to listen to Ms. Amastad. But Kaiba never stopped
staring at Joey. Suddenly Joey started to sway back and forth. He screamed out in pain
before he fell out of his seat hearing someone call his name and catch him before he hit
the hard floor. He welcomed the darkness that greeted him.
A FEW MINUTES BEFORE
Kaiba watched Joey from his seat an aisle and a few chairs behind Joey.
'Something is defiantly wrong with Wheeler.....he got his friends to believe that he's ok
so they can stop staring at him but I know he's still in pain...' Suddenly Joey started
falling out of his chair.
"Joey!!" Kaiba jumped out of his seat and ran to Joey grabbing him before
he hit the ground. Tristan and Ms. Amastad ran to his side. Kaiba was shaking Joey
trying to revive him.
"Wheeler wake up! Come on you stupid mutt get up." Kaiba yelled at him
getting glares from both Tristan and Ms. Amastad for the mutt comment. Ms. Amastad
put her finger on Joey's neck to feel for a pulse but suddenly Joey jerked his head away
from her touch.
"Seto....please take Joey down to the nurse's office." Ms. Amastad
instructed. Kaiba nodded and was about to pick Joey up when he noticed Tristan looking
like he desperately wanting to help his best friend but couldn't.
"Tristan I can't carry Wheeler on my own. Help me carry him down to the
office." Kaiba said acting like he didn't care but was glad when he saw happiness in the
other boy's eyes, glad he could help his friend in some way. "Pick him up by his legs but
be care of his knee." Kaiba instructed. Tristan nodded picking his friend up by the legs
and Kaiba picking him up by his arms. They carefully walked out of the classroom Kaiba
in the front walking backwards.
Their walk down the hall was quiet except the occasional of Joey's
whimpers of pain or trying to get out of their hands, but usually Kaiba leaned down and
whispered something into his ear that made him settle down for a few minutes. 'Ok why
did Kaiba want me to help carry him? I mean Joey's not really heavy and it would
probably be easier for just on of us to carry him. So why did he ask me to help?' he was
just about to ask why when they reached the office and Kaiba started to tell orders again.
"Help me lay him down on this couch carefully............ok go call Amy,
she should be at work now. Tell her that Joey passed out in class and to wait at home with
the doctor for me to bring him there." Kaiba bent down by Joey on the couch and put his
hand in Joey's school uniform's jacket looking for something while Tristan ran to the
phone. Kaiba pulled out a bottle of pills and put on in his hand as the phone started to
ring. Surprisingly it was picked up on the first ring.
""Hello? Joseph is that you?"" A woman's worried voice came from the other end.
"No Mrs. Wheeler this is Tristan. Um........ Joey fainted during class......"
""O My God!!! Is he alright? Oh I knew I should have made him stay home.......
I'm coming right over..........""
"No! It's ok Mrs. Wheeler you don't have to come by the school. Um maybe you
could go home and bring the doctor and Kaiba will be right over with Joey........ he's
giving Joey his medicine now." He said looking over his shoulder at Kaiba who was
trying to get Joey to take his medicine but was having a hard time as Joey kept moving
around refusing to take it.
""Ok........I-I'll wait for them there then.......good-bye."" Amy said hanging up.
Tristan hung up and walked over to his friend and kneeled down by Kaiba who was
talking to Joey still trying to get him to take the pill.
"Its ok Joey......I'm not going to hurt you, take the pill.......I'm not going
to hurt you Joey.......it's me Kaiba........I'm not going to hurt you......"Kaiba whispered
to him trying to reassure him that he wouldn't harm him but to no avail.
"You need help" Tristan said to Kaiba his eyes never leaving his friend.
Kaiba dropped his hand and sighed closing his eyes. He then handed Tristan the pill.
Making Tristan give him a questioning look.
"I didn't want to do this but I'll open Joey's mouth and you put the pill in
his mouth then I'll close it and stop him from breathing until he swallows it."
"What! That could kill him!" Tristan said shocked.
"So could his leg. If he keeps moving like that the bone will shatter and it
could cut a major vein." Tristan sighed.
"Fine. But if Joey refuses it for two long remove your hand" Kaiba leaned
forward grabbing Joey's jaw prying it open. When he got it open a little Tristan put the
pill in his mouth and Kaiba quickly shut it putting his hand on his mouth and nose to stop
him from being able to breathe. Joey started to struggle.
"Joey its ok. Just swallow the pill. We're not going to hurt you. We're
trying to help you. Swallow the pill Joey, its ok." Kaiba whispered into his ear. A couple
of seconds later Joey stopped struggling and swallowed. Kaiba lifted his hand letting Joey
breathe. Joey soon fell asleep.
"What did you mean his bone might shatter?" Tristan whispered. Kaiba
gave him a questioning look.
"Didn't you know he had a bad knee?"
"Yeah, but I thought it was bad not that it could shatter or anything."
"Well it can......... that's what causes him pain all the time. If he has to
much pressure on that leg it will shatter. Actually it's already shattered but not totally."
Kaiba explained. Tristan nodded. "We better get him over to his house, Amy's probably
worried." Kaiba said as he pulled out his cell and called for his driver to come pick him
up. When he was done he looked over at Tristan.
"You want to come?" He said. Tristan shook his head.
"No, I better stay here and tell the gang what happened." Kaiba shrugged
and carefully picked up Joey up.
"Fine and thanks for helping me." Kaiba said walking out the office.
Tristan sighed and got up heading back to class. When Kaiba got outside his limo was
waiting for him. The driver had the door open. Kaiba walked over and carefully set Joey
down opposite of where he was going to sit. He then climbed in himself.
"Wheeler household." He ordered the driver as they took off. The ride was
quiet until suddenly Joey opened his eyes and looked at Kaiba. Kaiba gasped noticing
that Joey's eyes were different color than his usual eyes. They were a mix of green, red,
and his usual honey colored.
"It is yet to come........"He whispered sounding like Joey but not
sounding like Joey. (a/n: you know like the mind control thing, just imagine a kinda girl
voice along with his own.)
"What..........What are you talking about Wheeler?"
"It is yet to come......." It repeated itself.
"What is yet to come?" Kaiba yelled back a little frightened.
"Be careful Seto Kaiba. Protect your brothers......."
"What my brothers?!" Kaiba said. 'I only have one brother....' He thought.
"Remember......remember Seto Kaiba..........remember to protect
them.....them being your blood or........." Suddenly 'Joey' broke off falling back down
closing his eyes.
"What were you talking about?!" Kaiba yelled shaking Joey a little trying
to revive him but couldn't. He was out cold again. But even if he could wake Joey up he
knew that was no good. He needed to talk to whoever was talking and he was sure Joey
wasn't the one saying that. 'Am I losing my mind?' Kaiba was contemplating on this
when they reached the house. He opened the door and cared Joey to his house where the
doctor waited for him at the door.
I'm still surprised the spirit of the ring's name is Zork! o and i'm sorry it's not letting me do
my star-line thing and its making me angery. Anyway that was the longest
chapter I have EVER written in my life. That was about 10 and a half pages long. Whoa.
Anyway soooo how did you enjoy that? Who was that freaky person talking? Was it
really Joey....... Or someone else? Is Joey ok? What IS yet to come? Will I have
hamburgers for dinner tonight.........we may never know.........ok that was weird.
Anyway to have the answers to those questions........except the hamburger one....you'll
have to read and find out. And did anyone else notice that EVERYONE is always
protecting Joey on the show. Yugi, Tristan, Tea, Serenity, Duke..........everyone is.......
With the exception of Marik. I mean can't Joey take care of himself? And did anyone
notice the hint of Mai liking Joey and Joey liking Mai.....heehee they are such a cute
couple....... You ppl sooooo have to agree on that one. Well anyway please review.
Later.
