Honda was cleaning his motorcycle, getting it ready to show off to Anzu when he heard the now familiar click of a cane on the ground. Honda glanced up. "Jonouchi!" He said loud enough to wake the dead.

"Honda, I'm blind not deaf. I think some one might not have heard you, like on the other side of the world." Jonouchi let a smile play over his lips. He wasn't about to let his inabilities get the best of him.

"How are you?" Honda asked, his mood suddenly sour. Seeing his best friend just reminded him of how unfair the world was.

"Cheer up buddy, the sun is shinning and the flowers are blooming, I think." Jonouchi sniffed the air. "Cleaning your bike and changing the oil?"

"Yeah buddy, but how?" Honda looked shocked.

"I can smell it. Big date?" Jonouchi asked, taking a guess.

"Yeah, tonight, with Anzu." Honda shrugged his shoulders. Even though his friend couldn't see him it was just habit.

"Well, here's a hint buddy, take a bath and you better wear deodorant." Jonouchi felt around till he found the hood of a car and leaned against it.

"Hey!" Honda slapped Jonouchi on the arm.

"Buddy, think if I help you out you could help me out here?"

"Uh," Jonouchi cocked his head towards the sound of his friend's voice. "What do you need help with?"

"I have a meeting with the headmaster of the DSB in bout two hours and don't even know where it is. Well, you know my dad."

"Yeah," Honda nodded his head. "We want ya back alive. What about that tutor of yours?"

Jonouchi laughed lightly. "My tutor is Mokuba."

"Mokuba? As in Mokuba Kaiba?"

"Yep," Jonouchi smirked. "Let's just say his dear big brother would probably be one of those people who try to run over blinds. He would do it hoping it would be me."

"What?" Honda turned away from his bike.

"Our dear CEO was kinda mad with me making out with his baby brother. At this point in time I'd be worried for my safety gettin a ride wit him."

Honda fell over laughing. "Well, I can see where you would go after baby Kaiba there but you must have a death wish, Jou."

"So, can you take me?"

"Yeah, no big. Just let me finish up and jump in the shower."

"Thank goodness!" Jonouchi said as he waited for Honda to finish.


"Okay, we made it." Honda said as he stopped the bike and removed his helmet. He grabbed Jonouchi's arm and led him into the huge building. It had taken about half an hour to convince Jonouchi that he couldn't bring his white cane on the motorcycle. The blond had argued about it to no end and now Honda saw why. He was very nervous and insecure on his feet without his cane.

Honda steadied him, holding onto his arm. They entered through the huge double doors and went through the small door on the right.

"Hello, may I help you?" The young secretary said from her desk.

"Yeah, I have Katsuya Jonouchi here."

"Oh yes," she smiled brilliantly. "Go right ahead." Honda opened the door and put his hand on Jonouchi's back and pushed him in.

"Hello Katsuya, please sit down." Jonouchi stumbled around the area until he finally found the chair and pulled it, stumbling around until he managed to sit down.

"Alright, now you've been selected to join our school by advice from a Seto Kaiba. You will stay in our dorms while you attend here and may even go to our sister school in America."

So Kaiba is in on this. I should've known it!

"Excuse me sir, what can I call you?"

"Please Katsuya, call me Sensei Karitsa." He sat down on the other side of his desk and watched the young blond. "Our mission is to work on adaptation into the real world where you'll be able to function efficiently. But something disturbs me. Your representative of the AFBC, Mokuba Kaiba I believe it was?"

"Yes," Jonouchi said as he swallowed hard.

"Well, he has said you have adapted well to everyday life. I trust the word of Mokuba Kaiba more and per his suggestion I will offer you three possibilities. You can go back to Domino High School and deal with life with no help. It will be nearly impossible. They will not have anything of Braille or treat you with the attention you need. You can join our newest school. There you will learn the same as in any other High School. There will be no dorm and at times this school will combine with Domino High to expand knowledge of the blind community. The third option is to attend our sister school in America."

Jonouchi swallowed hard. He sat there in silence as he thought about it. "I'd like to take the second option."

"Okay, I'll call Sensei Dokuga and you can head right over there." He smiled as he grabbed Jonouchi's arm and led him outside. "Excuse me! Sir!" Honda didn't look up. "Cone head!" He yelled and Honda looked up. "Are you with Mr. Jonouchi?"

"Uh, yep." Honda said as he scratched his head.

"I'm calling Sensei Dokuga so he knows you two are headed over there." He gave Honda the address and the taller teen sighed.

"Come on Jou. You better be thankful." Honda grabbed Jonouchi's arm and led him towards the bike, stopping to wait till the blond got on.

"I am Honda," Jonouchi said as he leaned against Honda's back. "Whatever happens, you'll always be there for me, won't you Honda?"

"Yeah, sure, fine, whatever," he said flippantly. Honda gunned the bike and took off not knowing how his friend's mind was racing. He was becoming a bother. He was sure of it, Honda was all over Anzu and Yugi wasn't paying any attention. Maybe he should've gone to America.


"Welcome!" A very loud voice boomed as huge arms grabbed Jonouchi. "You Katsuya?"

Jonouchi shook the huge arms off as he answered. "Yeah, I'm Katsuya."

"So that old geezer Yamagucchi couldn't handle ya, huh?"

"Hehe," Jonouchi's laugh was nervous. "Guess not."

"Well," he grabbed Jonouchi's arm and led him around. "If you join we'll have fifty-six students. Since we're so new that's amazing"

He pointed out many of the classrooms and Honda just shrugged his shoulders as Dokuga finished up. "Well can I sign you up?"

"Yes," Jonouchi said as he felt Honda grab his arm and lead him out. It was final. Katsuya Jonouchi would be leaving Domino High.


"How do you think we feel about this?" Honda glowered at Jonouchi as his friend ignored him. "You just decide to leave us and not even talk to anyone about it!"

"Why should you care!" Jonouchi yelled at him. "All you care bout is getting into Anzu's skirt." Jonouchi got off the bike as Honda went into the garage and got Jonouchi's cane.

"I do care Katsuya." He said quietly. "All of us care."

Jonouchi snorted. "Yeah, just sit there and mope then forget me." Jonouchi said as he snatched his cane back. He hit the ground with it and felt safe again.

"You seemed to be taking care of yourself. We just figured you were so happy you didn't need our help."

"Shut your gaping trap!" Jonouchi snarled. "I only act that way otherwise I wouldn't survive. You can never understand what I'm going through, what it's like to be blind!"

"I could if you'd tell me," Honda sighed. "Fine, get out of here. You're right; I don't want anything to do with you. I don't think anyone does. Not me, not Anzu, not Yugi, not Mokuba. Hell, even Kaiba doesn't want anything to do with you."

Jonouchi stepped back away from Honda and tore of down the street. He didn't even know were he was going. His mind was so fuddled he couldn't make sense of all the noises and smells.

Honda sighed as he stood there. He'd let Jonouchi get a head start before going after him. He would probably trudge home. There were only so many places a blind teenager to go.

Jonouchi couldn't make any sense of all the noises and didn't realize he had stepped onto the street except when tires squealed and he felt the hood of a car hit him.

"Stupid idiot kid! Go get yourself killed someplace else!" The driver yelled. "You dented my hood!" Jonouchi pushed himself up in pain. He had dropped his cane on the way and he hurt. "You're going to pay for this you little mother fucker!"

Jonouchi heard footsteps by his head. "Shut up you bastard! Can't you see this kid is blind!"

The man pulled his head back in. "Oh fuck, it's Seto Kaiba." He drove off but Kaiba already had his license plate memorized. He smirked to himself. This man would pay for the injuries of his poor little puppy.

"Wh-who?" Jonouchi asked as Kaiba pulled him up.

"Not that I care make inu but Mokuba sent me," Kaiba said as he pulled Jonouchi into his arms. In reality Mokuba was at a camp for the week but the puppy didn't need to know that. It wasn't that he really cared but he did owe Jonouchi for the previous week. If the pup hadn't been there he would've been worse than just some problems with the rape attempt. He would've been dead with Mokuba watching. He owed the mutt and Seto Kaiba always repaid what he owed.

Jonouchi leaned against him. He must be really hurt. He didn't even yell at me for calling him a dog. Kaiba flipped open his cell phone and called the ambulance. He grinned to himself. He paid a fortune for his phone, a text phone that translated the voice on the other end to text on his screen so he could see what was being said. It was required for his problem.

"This is Seto Kaiba, I need an ambulance down here immediately." He snapped. "A boy has been hit and is in bad condition." He glanced down to see what was being said and then snapped the phone shut.

Kaiba turned and saw Hiroto Honda casually strolling and Kaiba glowered. "Idiot! In case you didn't notice your buddy here got smashed up. Never mind, monkeys don't have buddies or brains." He sneered.

"Why I oughta!" Honda shook his fist at the CEO who wasn't looking at him and almost seemed not to hear. Honda then noticed Jonouchi in Kaiba's arms. He didn't look too bad off but Honda knew better than to think he was ok. The ambulances pealed around the corner and stopped beside the sidewalk. The two paramedics jumped out, bringing out the stretcher as they picked Jonouchi up and tightened the straps around him after they wrapped a blanket around him.

"Ok kid, prepare for a little bump," one said as they lifted the stretcher up into the ambulance. One climbed in back with him as the other took off down the road.


"Well, well, you certainly have a fun life don't you Jou." A familiar voice to Jonouchi said. Jonouchi smiled, remembering 'doc' from his first stint in the hospital.

"Hey doc! Yeah, just can't stay away." Jonouchi said as he grinned as he sat up.

"Well, you were lucky Jou. Nothing more than a few broken ribs. Nothing more to do about that than tape them up and send you home."

"Great! Does that mean I get to go now?"

Doc shook his head. "Nope, there are a few other things to take care of. First your father has been charged with child abuse and several other serious charges. You're going to be sent to a foster home. A social worker will be here to see you soon."

"Wonderful," Jonouchi muttered in sarcasm.

"Secondly, I have another patient and you're listed as the secondary party to contact if she's admitted. Does the name Shizuka Kawaii ring a bell?"

Jonouchi felt his mouth go dry. His sister was there, in the same hospital. "Why is she here?"

Doc just smiled. "Well she's had bad eyesight for a while and a benefactor has agreed to pay for the operation. She's here for that."

For the first time in a while Jonouchi was truly happy. Shizuka was going to get her surgery. Truly, he was happy for her. At least one of them should be able to see. "That's great! I'd like to meet with her."

"Sure Jou, she's in the next room over. Just turn right and it's on the right." Jonouchi nodded towards the doctor and stood up. He felt around a little lost until Doc took his hand and wrapped his fingers around his white cane.

"Thanks doc."

Jonouchi stepped out, tapping his cane on the ground and feeling towards the door until he found it. He tapped on it with the end of the cane and heard a rustling of sheets inside.

"Come in," a soft female voice said and Jonouchi reached towards the doorknob and turned it.

"Yo sis!" Jonouchi said as he grinned.

"Katsuya!" Shizuka yelled as she jumped out of the bed and raced towards her brother. He swung the can to the side as she wrapped her arms around him. "What are you doing here?" She smiled.

"Had a little accident. I'm in the room next door. How you doing sis?"

She grabbed his hand and dragged him over towards the bed and got a chair for him. "I'm scared," she said as she sat on her bed and Jonouchi sat down. "The surgery is tomorrow and I'm scared."

Jonouchi reached out and felt around till he managed to find her hands. He held them as he offered her a brave smile. "It'll be fine Shizuka. I know you'll be alright. You're brave and strong, nothing will take you down."

Shizuka nodded her head. "You don't need to pretend Katsuya." She said quietly. "Mom told me about the accident. What happened?"

Jonouchi sighed as he leaned against the cane. "The fight injured my eyes. They got infected beyond repair. You'll see again Shizuka, you have to for me because I never will."

Shizuka leaned forward and hugged her brother tightly. Neither of the pair could see so they didn't notice Seto Kaiba in the doorway, smiling to himself.
