Ryou's Oni- Thanks! And yes I do like Jou/Mokuba almost as much as I like Jou/Seto

Misura- Glad you're thinking it's exciting and Jonouchi is going to keep on sounding like he's okay

Santurion2- Thanks! This one is a little short too but I've got a real long one planned, I'll have it up by friday at the latest. But yeah, it is a real rare pairing.

DrJigen- slow and easy wins the race, eh okay, I give, there will be a kiss in the next chap! And Mokie shows up in this one.

Curtis Zidane Ziraa- well, here's an update and thanks!
"How's it look doc," Hiroto Honda was watching the doctor as Anzu Mazaki wrapped her arms around the sobbing Yugi.

Now without further ado, the update. They will get longer, I swear!

"Well, I can only disclose information like that to family." Honda swallowed hard. Everyone knew what Jonouchi's father did to him. And not all of them were from his father. Some buddy of his dad's, or so Honda thought, had a thing for Jonouchi. He would always come to school weak and injured. Honda knew his best friend was raped almost three times a day.

"We're all he has," Yugi said as he looked up at the doctor.

"Fine," he sighed. "His diagnosis is not good. We weren't able to save his eyesight." He folded up his files. "He'll never regain sight." He walked away like he didn't care.

"Jou's blind?" Yugi whispered as he felt a lump forming in the back of his throat. Anzu held him tightly, trying to comfort him but nothing help.

"Let's go see him," Honda said quietly. When they walked into the room they saw his head tilted like he was listening to something far away. He seemed to be perfectly fine except for the presence of the bandage wrapped around his face. Jonouchi smiled as he turned towards the sound of the footsteps.

"Hey! Did the nurses keep you out?"

"Jonouchi!" Yugi ran forward and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. Jonouchi reached up and touched the spiky hair.

"That is you, right Yuge? Are Honda and Anzu there too?" Yugi nodded his head then the realization really hit him.

"Yes Jou, they're here too." Jonouchi just smiled and nodded like nothing was wrong. Honda slowly approached the side of his bed. Anzu stood there, her eyes flooding with tears. Jonouchi felt the arms of his friends close around him. Now he knew that he would never see again. He wouldn't be able to hope for anything else.
Jonouchi heard footsteps enter his hospital room. He tilted his head towards the noise. He had been there for a week, or at least judged on how many pills they had given him and how many times his friends had visited.

"Katsuya Jonouchi?"

"Yah," the voice of the woman sounded pleasant.

"I'm Miss Usamu. I work with the AFBC, the Assosciation For Blind Children."

"Yo Miss Usamu."

"Well Katsuya-"Jonouchi interrupted her.

"Call me Jou or Jonouchi."

"Alright, Jonouchi." She smoothed her skirt as she sat down in a chair. "We convinced a young genious in our group to help you. He'll be helping you learn how to physically and mentally adapt to your state. You'll be learning how to get around on your own along with reading Braille. We're also admitting you in DSB, the Domino School for the Blind."

Jonouchi straightened up. "I'm changing schools?" He couldn't believe this. He couldn't be leaving Yugi and Honda, even Anzu. He didn't even want to leave spoiled brat Seto Kaiba. He especially didn't want to be going to a specialized handicapped school. And he definently didn't need a little know it all teaching him things.

"Well," she scowled slightly as she noticed the boy circling his head around. She knew she didn't have to smile around blind kids, she just needed to sound friendly.

"So Miss Usamu are ya done yet? My doc said I could go home when ya were done."

"Um, yes, almost." She picked up a long white cane and took Jonouchi's hand, closing it around the cane. "This is a white cane, it's how you get around."

Jonouchi set it down, taping the tip on the ground. "You hold it out in front of you and use it to feel around." She left as the doctor walked passed, handing some dark glasses to him.
"Hey Jou!"

"Yo doc."

The old balding man got on his toes and untied the bandage around the boy's eyes. He unraveled it and carefully set the dark glasses on his face.

"You need to always wear these. It's so your eyes aren't damaged anymore." Jonouchi nodded as the doctor forced a few pills in his hand. Jonouchi put them in his mouth then reached for the glass of water, bringing the edge to his lips and swallowing what he hoped was the last of the medication.

"Jou!" Jonouchi grinned as he heard Yugi's voice. He got to his feet and reached out with the cane, tapping it back and forth in front of him. Yugi swallowed hard as the end of the can reached the door.

"Left," Yugi said as Jonouchi took a step out. Yugi tried to take his arm and lead him outside but Jonouchi didn't want any of it. Jonouchi may be blind but he wasn't helpless and he wasn't about to let anyone treat him that way.
"Hey! I'm here to help you out!" Jonouchi turned as he stood up from a chair beside the sagging kitchen table. He knew that voice, Mokuba Kaiba.

"You?" Jonouchi's mouth became dry.

Mokuba looked around. "Uh Jou, mind studying at the mansion?"

"Not at all."

Mokuba sighed in relief as he took Jonouchi's arm and led him across the floor haphazardly strewn with beer bottles. He didn't know how Jonouchi survived living there. The stench was terrible.

"Don't worry, Seto's working late today." Jonouchi nodded, slightly relieved at this. He didn't want to think of what had happened last night. What his father's 'friend' had done to him. He knew that all of his buds knew, even Mokuba knew but what would little Mokie say if he had found out that Jonouchi's 'master' was his own brother.

Seto Kaiba.
