Santurion2: there is a reason the my madness, or Seto being a jerk I swear I normally don't write him this way. But thanks for reviewing!

Alright! Finally! I've got an update and I sure hope it's long enouch for everyone! Enjoy! As promised Mokie gets some action.

Jonouchi felt his way up the steps, following Mokuba's voice. Silently he was wondering just how many steps till the door. His cane then hit something hard in front of him.

"That's the door Jou."

"I think ya need to install an elevator just for da front door." Mokuba laughed quietly. Jonouchi was glad to hear him laugh. Kids were supposed to laugh and have fun.

Jonouchi heard the door creak open and stepped inside. In the past week he had learned to move around very well with his cane but he knew that he'd be lost without it. The stick he carried had become his lifeline.

Jonouchi took his shoes off at the doorway making certain to note the feel of the area.

"Over here," Mokuba called and Jonouchi followed the sound of his voice.

Mokuba grabbed the blind man's arm and led him over to a chair. The warmth of the older boy's skin made Mokuba blush as Jonouchi tripped over one of Seto's briefcases that he had left on the floor.

He fell, dragging Mokuba down with him. When the boy noticed this he also noted his position. He was lying on top of Jonouchi and he just wanted to reach out and touch him.

"Sorry about that Mokuba," Jonouchi said from beneath him.

"It's okay," he hoped that Jonouchi could not hear his tenseness in his voice but he was sure he wasn't that lucky. Being blind for almost a month now had dramatically improved his hearing. Mokuba was glad he didn't have to try to control the blush that burned his face. At that moment Mokuba really didn't feel like getting up. He lay there for a few moments, ravishing the feel of the blond beneath him. His mind memorized every curve, every touch. He didn't want this to end.

"Uh Mokuba," Jonouchi's voice broke him out of his thoughts. "Do ya mind gettin off me?"

Mokuba blushed a deeper red then helped Jonouchi to his feet.

"Not my problem you're so hot," he muttered. No person with average hearing could have made it out. But he had forgotten again that blind people have rather good hearing.

"Mokuba Kaiba!" There was a joking edge of disapproval as Jonouchi grinned widely.

"Did I just say that out loud?" Mokuba asked, he wondered if his face could turn any redder. He was really glad that Jonouchi couldn't see him right now.

"Yep," Jonouchi crowed and gave a whistle. "Didn't know ya had it in you pipsqueak."

Mokuba suddenly found the ground very interesting. He felt like Jonouchi was staring at him even though he knew the honey eyes behind the glasses were blank and unreacting. "Can," Mokuba swallowed. "Can we just get to work?"

"Sure thing," Jonouchi smirked as he felt around and slowly found his chair. Mokuba looked at the papers Miss Usamu had given him and found the one with the Braille alphabet punched into it. He pushed it over to Jonouchi's side of the table and then grabbed his hand, setting his fingers on the bumps. He ran his fingertips over them, rubbing the bumps.

"So this is Braille."

"Yeah," Mokuba said as he came up behind the blond. He leaned over him, taking his hand and running it over the small bumps. "There, that's the 'A', then 'B'."

"Uh-huh, but how d'ya tell where one stops and the other starts?"

"There's a little space between them." Mokuba couldn't believe his luck. He could feel every breath Jonouchi took as he leaned forward holding the blond's hand, his chest pressed against the other's back.

"Yer bro's gonna kill you," Jonouchi muttered and Mokuba jumped.

"Why?"

"Cause this position is a bit comprimisin. 'sides, yer too young."

"I'm fourteen!" Mokuba yelled. Jonouchi just smirked at him as he turned around. His hand went up, feeling Mokuba's hair and face.

"Don't frown Mokie." He whispered. Jonouchi turned back around to figure out the bumps on the paper.

Mokuba's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe Jonouchi had just done that. He couldn't believe he had called him Mokie while touching him like that. It made him feel like a little kid but he wanted to be an adult.

A couple hours later Jonouchi reached down for his cane. "Hey Mokuba, how bout we take a walk?"

"Uh, sure," Mokuba said as he looked at him. Jonouchi pushed himself up with the cane, making his way to the door, whispering as he counted the steps to the door. Mokuba found this funny but he guessed it made sense.

Mokuba was grinning as he hurried out the door, never stepping more than a few steps past Jonouchi. He silently led the older one to the park. Mokuba saw the grin on Jonouchi's face. He guessed it had been a long time since he had really been outside.

Standing beside him Mokuba felt like a little kid even though there was only two years separating their ages.

"Hey Mokuba, do you ever go here wit Kaiba?" Jonouchi asked curiously.

"Nope," Mokuba said as he reflexively shook his head. "Seto's usually too busy."

There was a frown on Jonouchi's face for a second. "Mokuba, I-"He suddenly stopped.

"What is it Jou?"

"Nevermind," he said as he gave a forced smile. Jonouchi felt around for Mokuba and turned the boy towards him once he found him. His fingers brushed against Mokuba's face lightly. "Mokuba, I need ta know truthfully how ya feel 'bout me."

Mokuba frowned and then answered. "I really like you Jou, as in more than a friend. I don't believe in love at first sight so I don't think it's love but it could be."

"Good, me neither." Mokuba laughed at the play on about it. Jou didn't believe in love at first sight, maybe because he couldn't see.

Mokuba felt the rough fingertips trailing across his face. They were calloused from a hard life. Jonouchi knelt down and felt Mokuba's lips under his own. Mokuba returned it all to willing, sliding his tongue against the older teen's lips. He never thought it would end. He didn't want it to. He had never been happier in his entire

"Mokuba Kaiba!"

Mokuba pulled unwillingly away from the blond to see down the pathway an infuriated old brother.

"Se-Se-Seto!" He stuttered as he saw the icy blue of his older brother's eyes. Mokuba never remembered ever seeing Seto this angry. Kaiba stood above Jonouchi, looking angrily at him. He shoved the blond down, his white can skidding across the ground.

Jonouchi brought a hand to his chest and swiveled his head around. He didn't know where it was coming from. He knew it was Kaiba but nothing more than that. The blows were fast.

"Seto!" Mokuba's voice screamed at his brother. Jonouchi didn't hear anything else as the Kaibas left.

Jonouchi sat there on the ground. He couldn't find his cane anywhere. He was sure Kaiba was responsible for it. Jonouchi's mind was at a near panic. He needed his cane.

"Seto!" Mokuba yelled at his brother as he slammed the door to his bedroom shut. Just once Seto wished he were a normal teenager. He cared for Jonouchi more than anything in the world, aside from his brother but he just couldn't understand it. Love was to be hit and hurt, that's what Gozaburo taught him. So that's what he did and Jonouchi hated him even more.

Mokuba didn't know what happened behind locked doors. He never would. The beating and pain was the only way he knew to show it.

Seto sat in his room for hours, working at his stack of paperwork when the phone rang.

Seto picked it up. "Kaiba Residence," he said.

"Kaiba, have you seen Jou?" Yugi's worried voice echoed through the receiver. His voice was cracked, sounding like he had been crying. "He said he was going over there. Mokuba was helping him out to learn Braille and stuff."

"No," Seto answered a bit too quickly for Yugi's liking.

"Kaiba, this is serious. If he tries to cross the street or something he might be killed. Did you see him at all?" Yugi's voice became more worn.

"If you would like I can help you look for him."

"Would you?" Yugi's voice became hopeful as he heard this.

"Yes, I'll search around." Seto hung up the phone. He had told his driver to bring the mutt home. He had walked home with Mokuba after he had pointed the driver towards the blind boy. He had given the driver the address. His name had been Alan. Seto had trusted him more than anything but now Katsuya Jonouchi was missing and the last one to see him had been Alan.

"Seto?" The door creaked open a little bit to show Mokuba's anxious face.

"Your little student disappeared. I'm going out to look for him after I talk to Alan."

"Jou's gone?" He echoed.

Seto nodded his head as Mokuba looked up determined. "I'm going with you. Jou will trust me."

"Alright."

"I brought him home just like you told me to Mr. Kaiba," Alan said as he looked at his employer. He had brought the boy home and had watched him slowly make his way up the steps to his apartment. He doubted the boy would be able to make it far away from his door. Most blinds were very cautious. Katsuya Jonouchi had been no exception.

"Let's go, we need to find him." Alan nodded his head and Mokuba ran towards the car.

Mokuba watched out the window, never saying a word to Seto. He was scowling as the limo jerked to a stop. Under the hood there was an explosion.

Seto threw Mokuba out of the way but his own legs were pinned down. His jacket had caught on fire. He shut his eyes as he felt the smoke burning his lungs.

"Seto! Seto!" Kaiba felt a pair of strong hands grab him under his arms. They yanked him out of the way and Seto felt himself collapse on the ground. He didn't like the look of this place or the burning limo in front of him. Mokuba was sitting on the ground in tears.

Kaiba looked up at his savior to only see a pair of empty eyes. The pupils never moved, never reacted with the glazed over brown of them. A pair of dark glasses were lying on the ground.

Kaiba swallowed hard as he saw the worn out face of Katsuya Jonouchi. "You still alive dere Kaiba."

"Yeah," he was breathing hard as he sat on the ground. He saw Mokuba yell in relief as he jumped on Jonouchi. Jonouchi wrapped his arms around Mokuba, leaning down and kissing the smaller boy.

Mokuba licked the taller boy's lips until Jonouchi parted them slightly and the war began between their tongues. It seemed like hours of heaven to Mokuba before Jonouchi pulled away.

Mokuba was breathing hard as he stood there. "Sorry Seto," he said quietly.

Seto Kaiba shook his head. He wasn't angry but jealous.

"Well what have we here?" A burly man stood there, his hand being hit by a club. Jonouchi set a hand on Mokuba's shoulder pushing him back. He felt his dark glasses fall into his hand. He smirked at Kaiba even though he couldn't see him.

Jonouchi slid them onto his face as he stood there.

"Well, I told you I'd get you Jonouchi. Get you back to me." A familiar voice sneered.

Kaiba saw this new man's bruised face and the sneer on Jonouchi's lips. "Yo boss monkey!"

The man painfully stepped forward as Mokuba grasped onto Jonouchi's hand. "Jonouchi you're mine."

"Not on your life Hirutani. I won't join ya again."

Kaiba felt too late a knife pressed to his back and a shock through his system. They had just used a shock stick on him. He felt his body shaking.

"Seto!"

Jonouchi turned on the ball of his foot listening intently to the echoes on the ground. His foot caught across a large pair of shins as he aimed. He felt the pounding on his body of fists. Jonouchi knew he was going to need help but he also knew the shock stick was the gang's weapon of choice.

"Jonouchi, your rich ass sweetie is done."

Didn't want to get Kaiba involved but at least it wasn't Mokuba.

"And we're going to have some fun with him." Jonouchi didn't hear anyone sneaking up on him. The next thing he knew his where secured behind his back. He could hear Kaiba's moaning. His yells. Jonouchi wished he could shut his ears. He felt the tears fall. Hirutani hurt everyone.

Jonouchi twisted around, bringing his knees to his chest and striking with all his strength towards where he thought Hirutani was. His yell was all Jonouchi needed to prove that he was right in his aiming. He felt the rain on his back as he heard elbows hit the ground and Mokuba screaming.

"This way big brother!"

Kaiba I hate yer guts but I'm not gonna let you get involved with my problems. Even you don't deserve this. You don't deserve what ya did to me everyday since three years ago.

"Mokuba! Get him outta here!"

"What about you Jou?"

"I can take of myself."

"GET OUTTA HERE MOKUBA!" Jonouchi felt a small pair of quick hands slit the ropes around his wrists. Mokuba wasn't listening to him. He sensed heavy footsteps going away as he heard the sirens of a cop car. He was going home and he wasn't looking forward to it.

Jonouchi leaned down and quickly kissed Mokuba on the top of the head. "Take care of him. I'll see ya tomorrow."

R &R! And as always enjoy!
