I hear, a voice say "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things that you probably hide
Am I your one and only desire?
Am I the reason you breathe or am I the reason you cry?
Always...Always...Always...Always...Always...Always
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you
Done with you, Done with you, Done with you, Done with you, Done with you
I feel like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things, I guess I'll see you around
It's all, been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door, all I can hear is the sound
Always...Always...Always...Always...Always...Always...
I just can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you
I wrapped my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?
Always...Always...Always...Always...
I see, blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel, more like a man?
Was it all, just a part of your plan?
The pistol's shaking in my hands and all I hear is the sound
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, this life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

(Always = Saliva)
Kaiba knocked on the door to the Wheeler household. Amy opened and smiled at the
young CEO.
"You should know by now, you can just come in. There is no need to
knock." Amy said leading Kaiba to the kitchen.
"I know. So......how.........is he?" Amy sighed turning around and
handing him a cup of coffee.
"He's mostly the same.......... The only difference now is he usually
walks over to the window sill and just sits there......... he still hardly touches his food.
Kaiba I'm really worried about him." Amy looked down. "This has been going on for
almost two weeks. Why won't he talk? Why does he just sit there and just stare out the
window? I just......... I just want my baby back to the way he was." Kaiba smiled sadly
at the woman.
"Just give him time. I'm sure he'll come out of it soon." He said
putting his hands on her shoulders. He turned his head and stared at the hallway that led
to the stairs. "I'm going to go talk to him some more." Kaiba started toward the stairs.
Kaiba paused at the door to Joey's room. He softly knocked then let himself in.
When he opened the door his eyes traveled over to the window where Joey sat just staring
at the sunset not moving.
"Hey Joey." Joey quickly darted his eyes to look at the other man for
just a second only to return his eyes back to the sunset. The CEO quietly made his way
over to the window and sat down staring at the sunset also. They both sat their in silence
for awhile until Kaiba finally decided to break it.
"She's very worried you know." Joey flashed a confused look at
Kaiba then once again returned to look at the sun. "Your mother. She's very worried. We
are all very worried about you." Joey just lightly nodded his head. Never looking away
from the sun. Kaiba sighed in aggravation. "Joey please just......... tell me what's wrong.
I want to help you. Joey.......will you look at me!" Joey snapped his head in the direction
of the CEO but carefully avoided eye contact. "Wheeler I don't know what's going on in
that small head of yours but you need to stop it! Your mother is worried sick about you.
All you do is sit in this room and look out the window. You hardly eat, you don't
talk............ Joey just tell me what's wrong. I've been coming in here every day for the
past couple of weeks.......... But you flat out ignore me! What's the matter with you?!"
Kaiba looked away from the younger boy. 'I'm getting no where. Why do I even bother
with him?! He's not going to talk.'
"He's gone........." Kaiba turned back around when he heard a
voice say barely above a whisper.
"Hm?"
"He gone........." Joey said a little louder closing his eyes to keep from
crying. "He gone.........b-because of me. I k-killed him."
"Joey he deserved it."
"NO HE DIDN'T!" Joey yelled then quickly lowered his voice again.
"No he didn't.......... he didn' deserve ta die! He's....he's........."
"He's a stupid son of a bitch who was going to kill us! If you didn't do it
first we would be having a slightly different conversation while wearing white cloaks and
halos floating above or heads or something."
"He's my dad.........I coulda.........done something different.......... I
coulda..............."
"Done nothing except what you did. Joey look at me." Kaiba said
pulling jerking the other's head to face him again. Joey's eyes darted around trying to not
look at him. "Joey look at me!" Joey finally made eye contact. Kaiba saw the pain and
sadness in the boy's eyes. "Joey stop feeling sorry for yourself. It's not your fault. He
was going to kill me and then you and Mokuba! If he had that gun pointed to either you
or Mokuba's head I would have jumped to the chance of shooting him."
"But he wasn't your father!" Joey yelled tears leaking from his eyes.
"He wasn't your father. You didn' know him back den. You didn' know the way he was.
He...........he was the best father eva..............he just..........took a wrong
path..........it's my fault any of dis happened............. If I wasn' such a wild kid he
might 'ave............been a betta dad later on............he was jus' upset......he coulda
changed, he woulda if I wasn'.........." Kaiba punched Joey making him fall to the
ground. Joey held his cheek looking at Kaiba shocked.
"Would you just stop it! Get it through that thick head of yours mutt, no
matter what you did or anyone did your father was going to end up like that. If it's
anyone's fault it's his. NOT yours, got it? He chose the path he took. So will you just
stop feeling sorry for yourself. I know he wasn't my father, and I'll probably never
understand what you're going through but I know that you DID do the right thing. Got it?
He was going to kill us Joey. Just because he loved to see people in pain. You did the
right thing by shooting him. I know you may not feel like you did, and you may wish that
your father was still alive, but he isn't. The man that you knew as your father was killed
off long before you shot him. He was killed off when he started drinking. The man that
you shot was a totally different person. He deserved what he got. Understand?" Joey
looked down at the carpet and nodded slowly obviously crying.
"I know.............. I jus' miss him." Kaiba kneeled down beside the
blonde smiling slightly.
"Yeah I know. Hey sorry about.........hitting you. I just didn't know
how to get into that head of yours." Joey laughed a little.
"Yeah well I didn' know dat rich pricks like you could punch so hard either. So I
guess we both learned somethin' new today." Joey said standing up then after feeling a
little lightheaded fell back down. "Whoa...........man I dink ya hit me a lil' too hard."
"No actually it's called lack of nutrients. Come on, I'll help you up."
Kaiba said lifting Joey up a little and leading him toward the bed.
"Hey ya know how ya said dat we would be havin' a different
conversation with halos above our heads. What till I tell da others ya said dat." Suddenly
Kaiba let go of Joey and from the lack of support the blonde fell down almost instantly.
He then grabbed him by the ear and pointed his head towards the window.
"You seemed to enjoy that window. How would you like to go threw one?"
"No.........I'm good. I feel jus' fine lookin' out them."
"Good because if you mention to anyone about anything I've said to
you INCLUDING what I'm saying now I will personally make sure you feel what a
wingless bird might feel when it flies. Do you understand what I'm saying to you or is
your brain a little too small to comprehend?"
"No. I hear ya loud and clear. I won't say one word."
"Good." Kaiba said roughly letting go of his ear. Joey half laughed,
half yawned at the CEO's threat.
"Ya know........you really.......really.........have.........
problems.....................Kai......ba." Joey slumped down.
"Wheeler?" Kaiba shook the blonde a little. "Hey Wheeler, you
awake?" a loud snore from the other answered the brunette's question. 'Damn, this kid
can sleep anywhere! How the hell does he do that?' Kaiba thought picking Joey up and
placing him on his bed. As he placed the covers over him he felt a weird chill go down
his spine as if a window was opened.
"Good evening." Kaiba whirled around and saw a cloaked figure by
and open window smiling gently at him.
"Who are you?" Kaiba glared at the figure.
"Excuse me for my rudeness. I should introduce myself." The figure
laughed taking off its hood. It was a young woman between the ages of 24- 35. She had
long straight brown hair much like Kaiba's and green eyes. She smiled at the other
brunette with a smile that reminded him of Joey's. "My name is Amelia."
Kaiba stared at her eyes knowing that he saw them before. 'They have to be the
same color of eyes I saw when the mutt went crazy....but I think I've seen them
somewhere else before.........'
"On the contrary Joey was not going crazy. I was talking through him."
Kaiba looked at her in disbelief. "It was the only way I could talk to you. We don't really
have a direct link to each other. Unlike me and Joey." She explained smiling softly at the
sleeping blonde while Kaiba stood there dumbfounded. 'Did she just read my mind? No,
wait that's impossible!' Suddenly a laugh brought him out of his thoughts.
"I would have thought that with your experience with Pegasus that you
would be able to believe such things by now." Amelia said walking toward the sleeping
blonde. Standing above him her smile changed to a sad one while she pushed some bangs
that had been covering his face revealing the scars underneath. "You are planning to pay
for the surgery am I correct?" she said glancing back over to the CEO then back down to
Joey. "I'm sure he would be happy about that." Kaiba just glared at her not wanting to
trust her.
"What do you want?!"
"I'm here just to talk." She replied not taking her eyes off Joey. "His
leg has been healed?" she chuckled softly "Modern day doctors are so brainless. I can't
believe they didn't even think that re-breaking the leg could also fix it." [1]
"Are you hear to talk about his wounds or do you have something
a little more important to say?!" Kaiba said getting irritated.
"Do you remember, when I told you to protect your brothers?"
Amelia said kneeling down still playing with the blonde's hair. "Did you understand
what I meant by 'brothers?"
"I only have one brother."
"Yes, if you only count the present. But are you still wary about your past
life Seto Kaiba?" Kaiba rolled his eyes.
"Let me guess, I had another brother in my ancient past."
"Yes." Kaiba started to laugh.
"Where do you freaks come up with this stuff?!" he said shaking
his head. "Do you really want me to believe such a stupid story?"
"Us, 'freaks', get this 'stupid' story from YOUR past. Ra! You're as
bad now as you were back then. Couldn't Osiris have changed your personality just a
little?!" this made Kaiba laugh even more.
"Then who's my 'ancient' brother? Is he in a nursing home? Did he
send you so I could a visit him or something?"
"No. Your brother is Joey Wheeler."
"Yeah, right. Then how do you know all of this without one of those
millennium items or whatever the geek squad calls them."
"I know because I'm your mother." Kaiba looked at her clearly
wondering about her sanity.
"What you're like 6 years older than me! You must have started really early."
"I'm dead serious Seto!" looking up at him sending an almost as cold
glare as the one the CEO usually used.
"I'm sure you're emphasizing on dead." Amelia sighed shaking her head.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. I'm not sure if you ever will but
please listen to this story I need to tell you."
"Yes mommy." She once again glared at him then mumbled
something that sounded a lot like 'I will not strangle him.'
"Better yet, why don't I show you." She said her eyes glowing as she
mumbled a chant under her breath. Kaiba saw a bright light making him close his eyes as
he felt himself being transported much like the same way he felt when Ishizu showed him
the duel between the priest and the pharaoh. Kaiba opened his eyes as he felt himself
come to a stop.
"What the....." Kaiba looked down and saw a market place/ village
with a palace surrounded by a gate not to far away. He also saw a huge river stretching
for miles and just beyond the river something the looked like..... "Pyramids?! What the
fuck?! This looks like Egypt!" he turned to his left hearing someone laughing.
"That's because it IS Egypt genius." She said smiling with her 'Joey'
smile again. "I brought you here to show you what I was going to tell you."
"Do ever one of you freaks have a problem with the ground or
something?! That's what it was made for.......walking on." Suddenly he felt himself
being dropped quickly heading right towards his 'precious' earth hitting it hard. Kaiba
groaned looking up as he saw Amelia landing beside him softly giving her best innocent
look.
"Come Seto. We don't have a moment to waste." She said walking
away quickly. Kaiba looked at her shocked as she walked through some people. He
picked himself up holding his head as he followed. 'Ok I defiantly need a CAT scan.'
"As you know my name is Amelia. I was your mother in ancient Egypt. I was
also a priestess and close friends with pharaoh Atem. His father was my brother [2]." She
explained as Kaiba finally caught up with her. "Your father was Priest Akunadin, the
highest most powerful priest in that time." She pointed ahead and Kaiba saw a woman
that looked identical to Amelia except she wore a white dress and a crown of some sort.
She was standing by an oddly familiar man. His eyes were blue and his hair was black
Hair. He was wearing a very rich looking robe and a crown also.
"This was the day we married [3]." Amelia said smiled disappearing. "He
was such a different man then." She glanced over at Kaiba who once again was just a
'little' confused. "Ok anyway let's go about 10 months into the future." Her eyes glowing
again transporting them. When Kaiba was able to open his eyes he saw a man much like
the other one this time with a moustache and beard holding a baby. He also saw Amelia
running up to him yelling.
"We had a child, which is you. We named him Set. When you became
one month old something happened to Akunadin............. He became..... cold and
power hungry. He took you away from me and forbidden me to ever see you again and
told me to never bear another child." She said looking at the seen sadly and a little angry.
Kaiba watched as the man took the child away leaving the mother crying on the floor. As
he looked closer at the man he knew where he saw him before. 'That's the man I saw the
other night in the hallway! This guy just looks.... Younger.' Amelia glanced up looking
shocked the just nodded her head as if knowing everything.
"I never saw you again for a long time. When you were nine or ten
Akunadin came to me again in an angry rage accusing me of not following his orders. He
then......... did something to me that hurt me so much. I became pregnant after that. I
was scared knowing that if he knew about this the my life and the child's would be
endanger but I couldn't have an abortion. Something kept telling me to have this child
and I just could do that to a small life. So Priest Mahaado, priestess Isis, and pharaoh
Atem[4] all helped me keep my pregnancy a secret." Once again there was a bright light.
This time you saw Amelia looking somewhat older holding another baby this one much
small and looked much weaker than the first.
"When Jono, Joey, was born he was so weak and frail I thought he
wouldn't live past the night........ but he did." She said turning around Kaiba doing the
same. You saw a young blonde haired child running around Amelia, again looking older,
walking behind him. "It was hard to hide him but I was able too. I was able to hide him
for 6 years but he was still fragile after that. But then somehow Akunadin learned of his
existence." Suddenly a man that looked exactly like the one Kaiba saw 2 weeks ago came
into view looking clearly angry.
"What did I tell you woman!" Akunadin screamed grabbing the small boy
by the arm making him whimper in pain.
"Let go of him. He's not strong enough." The older Amelia cried
running over to her child only to be slapped away.
"Shut up you whore. I forbade you to have another child!" he said
gripping the child small arm harder. "You're nothing but a whore. Same goes for this
child." He said grinning a sadistically at the small boy who tried to get away from the
man but only in vain. "I'll allow you two to live but this child goes with me. He is mine
now and you will only be a forgotten memory to him. Understand?" he said to the woman
before kicking her.
"Mother? Mother! Help me! Mother!" the child yelled as he was dragged
off by the man. The younger Amelia put her head down in shame.
"I wish I fought back for him." She sighed as everything went black
before they returned to Joey's room. "After this I knew that only one person could help
me regain my child. Set was the only one who could get to him. But I haven't seen you
for so long. I had no idea what you looked like or where you were. For 3 years I searched
for you but found nothing. I was just about to give up when I remember someone. There
was a priest I saw only once or twice but he had the same blue eyes as my son did at
birth. I knew it was almost impossible it could have been you but it was worth a shot. I
confronted you in the temple of Osiris and asked your name." suddenly Amelia burst into
laughter. "You should have seen the look on your face when you said your name was Set
and hugged you crying and laughing. You were scared to death of me for a couple of
seconds." Amelia stopped talking to settle down before continuing. "When I explained
my reason for my outburst you as you did now did not believe me. You especially didn't
believe the Akunadin was your father. I tried to convince you but still you wouldn't
believe that I was your mother. But when I mentioned Jono something I guess clicked. I
don't know why but it was as if you knew that your brother was Jono all along but you
still didn't believe that me and Akunadin were your parents." She said shaking her head.
"You told me that you knew where Jono was. You see him almost everyday. That he was
a personal servant to Akunadin. You agreed that you will help me which kind of
surprised me since you didn't believe I was of any relation to you." Amelia said smiling
at Kaiba. "You caught Akunadin beating Jono. You stopped him before he could kill him
by challenging him to a duel. A duel to the death. The loser's soul with the consumed by
Ammit." She stopped there and stood up. Kaiba jumped up also.
"Where are you going?" Kaiba said running over to her as she started to walk away.
"Don't worry I shall return." She said as she started to disappear.
"But, It is yet to come." She said fading away into the darkness. Kaiba pulled his hand
back from the air he tired to grab. 'Damn I don't want to believe her, but there's
something's........... telling me to trust her. But what is yet to come?' Kaiba said looking
over at Joey before exiting the room.
.......................................SOME PLACE ELSE
A cloaked figure walked through out of the shadows of an old
warehouse holding what looked like a staff the same length of the millennium rod just
instead of the millennium symbol top it had a purple/red looking sphere on the top. He
pulled out a paper that looked like the one Kyle signed and as he murmured something
the paper began to turn to ash as the orb began to glow red as a white ghostly looking
light came in hitting the orb going inside.
"Thank-you Kyle. You played your part." He said laughing taking off his
hood revealing the face of a young man with black hair and blue eyes. "The world will
one day belong to Akunadin."
[1]: sorry I was going to put this in sooner but got too caught up in my own story. Lol. You see sometimes if you re-break something correctly I might add it will heal it..... or it could totally damage it. So when Kyle re- broke Joey's leg he accidentally helped it.
[2]: actually I believe in the ancient past Seto's FATHER (the priest) was Yami's dad's brother but.......... I wrote it this way. All I know is the Kaiba and Yami are cousins.
[3]: I apologize if I got the whole marrying thing weird on that. I have no idea how the wed in Egypt. ::sigh::
A thousand apologizes if that was totally lame..........well at least it was longer........ 14
or 15 pages actually. I'm very proud of myself. Well that was the end. ::sobs:: I'm very
sad that it ended.......But a sequel is coming. :: hears many ppl cheering:: problem is its
going to be awhile before it's up. See I am hoping to finish 'Como Estas' ONCE
someone reviews it! ::glares at past reviewers for that story::. And then I have a story that
I was going to put out last year around October but was to busy. Anyway Y. Bakura and
me are going on out 'Hunt and Death of the Twinkie Man'. Right baky.
Y. Bakura: yes. We'll finally rid this pathetic world of his inhabitance.
YAMIGIRL: yep!!! We're going to do this while Kaiba and K.K. are on vacation so she
won't stop us. :: shakes head sadly:: Poor Kaiba. Forced by K.K. and Mokie to go on vacation.
Anyway I might even write a story about our weird adventure of getting even with the 'Twenkie
Man'. :: ahem:: anyway I would also like to take a while off of my stories. I've really
consumed in them (I swear I'm not lying). My mom really doesn't like me on the
computer all the time writing them ( she doesn't know why I'm writing them) anyway
school is starting really soon (August 16) and tomorrow (Monday) I start marching band
all day 9:00 till like 8:00 until school starts. And the only sane teacher there quit so I have
at least two workaholic over emotional near mental break down (I'm not kidding they are
like that!) teachers so far. So yeah I'm going to be busy. But I SWEAR as soon as I can
I'm going to start working on this story's sequel. Here is the information about it......
Skellig: Akunadin as stolen the sacred staff of Anubis and will stop at nothing to control and destroy the earth. Kaiba and Joey along with the others are the only ones who stand in his way of reeking havoc on the world. But how are they suppose to stop a man with an indestructible staff? Has Kaiba's and Joey's past come back to haunt them?
Sooooo........yeah I'm not exactly the best at summaries but.......anyway Important
Notice!!!! Ok Amelia she needs a personality unless you guys liked this one for her. But I
need one like a little bit a mix between Kaiba and Joey and she needs to be REALLY
likeable 'cause I want you all to like her since she's going to be in the sequel a lot. Awe
man I'm going to miss you all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys were the best!!!!!!!! Here I
need to give you something..........:: hands everyone a plushie of their favorite
character:: man its not going to be the same without you all. I hope you come back for the
sequel. Well:: sniff, sniff:: later.
