Notes: In light of my successful fic "An Innocent Joke?" I'm writing this one for everyone who enjoyed it and wanted to see a sequel made. Unfortunately this is not a sequel, but another story altogether. There won't be a sequel to that story since I can't think of anything to write for it. But this another fic where Seto does play a mean trick on poor Jou! ooooo These many circles can indicate a change of some kind. Time, scenery or character. Seto is eighteen and Jou is seventeen.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter Nine: Another Accident

Seto couldn't believe it. He simply could not believe it!

Walking down the main downtown road of Domino City, the puppy was right beside him, his arms wrapped firmly around Seto's one arm as they actually had an intelligent, fun, and even friendly debate!

"I'm telling ya, Kaiba, if I ever get that Dragon Capture Jar card, there is no way you'd ever beat me!" Jou stated, a big grin on his face at the thought of actually beating Seto Kaiba in a duel.

Seto smirked. "And I'm telling you, puppy, it's nothing that a simple Reverse Trap card can't handle," He stated, actually enjoying the conversation. "And believe me when I tell you that I do have a few of those on hand for just such an occasion."

Jou pouted up at him for ruining his fun, and Seto chuckled down at him, playfully ruffling his blonde hair simply for the pleasure of annoying him.

"Hey!" Jou cried out in mock annoyance, swiping his hand away before combing his fingers through his hair. Though Seto didn't see what the point was since it already looked pretty disheveled to begin with.

Jou folded his arms. "Well, I still think that if I ever get that card I can beat ya." He said stubbornly.

"You're missing the point, puppy," Seto started. "First off, you would need to get that card in your hand, and then secondly, I would have to play my Blue Eyes for it to even work. And you and I both know that I have plenty of other cards in my deck that can beat you with or without it on the field." The brunet explained patiently, and the blonde's shoulder's slumped miserably.

"I hate ya."

"You love me."

Jou couldn't help but grin at that, reaching his head up to quickly give his boyfriend a soft kiss that Seto didn't try to back out of.

It was nice, having someone being so affectionate to him like that. Of course there was Mokuba, but that was his brother, they were supposed to look out for one another. But to have this, someone who was just there because he wanted to be there, and to kiss him because he loved him... it was just... nice...

The sudden sound of Seto's cell jerked them away from their kiss, and with a grumble of annoyance, he reached into his trench coat pocket to answer it. Mentally vowing that if it turned out to be Otogi then he would personally castrate the black haired teen.

Jou simply smiled at him as they continued with their walk. Seto was just too cute when he was angry, so he didn't really mind the interruption.

But it was when Seto stopped dead in his tracks did Jou really start to wonder what was going on. And watching his face turn an unhealthy looking pale color didn't help out his curiosity at all.

"Seto?" He asked, blinking a few times in confusion. "What's the matter?"

Kaiba stood silent for only a moment, trying to get his mind to process what he'd just heard, and then decide if it was true or not.

But then... only a few words were making themselves known to his brain, and that was making things all the more difficult.

"Mokuba... car accident... hospital..."

Jou squeezed Seto's hand in an attempt to get him to snap out of the scary daze that he was in. He'd never seen him looking so afraid before, and because of his tough nature, a scared Seto, made a very afraid Katsuya. "Seto!"

Seto blinked, finally coming out of the trance he was in at the sound of Jou's pleading voice, seeing the puppy looking up at him in worry and wondering what was wrong.

He swallowed over the lump in his throat. "We... we need to go to the hospital. M-Mokuba was in a car accident." He stuttered, instantly pressing the button that called for his limo before talking into the cell to give the driver their location.

Jou was more than just a little taken back when he heard that. Mokuba? At the hospital? "Oh my God. Is he okay?"

"HOW THE FUCK SHOULD I KNOW?!" Seto snapped, frustrated, angry and down right pissed off at himself along with the rest of the world for not being there to protect his little brother when he was needed.

Mokuba was in the hospital, and they were going to operate on him. But because of how fucked up he felt the second the words Mokuba and car accident were uttered, he didn't catch how serious it was, or even what they were going to operate on. And so he just had to get there to be with him as fast as possible.

Jou winced at the outburst, but didn't take it personal since he had a good enough excuse for it. Hell if he were to find out that Shizuka was in the hospital then he would probably freak out as well.

The very second the black limo showed up to take them to the hospital, Seto jumped in, dragging Jou with him by the arm before yelling at the driver to step on it or else never work anywhere in the world ever again.

The driver wisely did as he was told.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hoshi was almost frantic, pacing around in the waiting room with tears in her eyes as she impatiently waited for the doctors to get back with what she was hoping would be good news.

It simply wasn't fair. Mokuba was hit by a car and all she got was a scrape on the side of her arm and some blood on her shirt. If he hadn't pushed her out of the way then she would be the one inside that operating room, not him.

It was all her fault.

"Hoshi!!"

The little red head whipped her head to the side at the call of her name, feeling her spirits sink just a little at the sight of Mokuba's older brother storming towards her, followed by some blonde she had never seen before.

Seto was on his knees before the young girl in an instant. "Hoshi, you have to tell me, what happened?" He demanded, his eyes still wide in fear for his only family.

Hoshi tried to speak, but to her shock found that she was having a hard time with it, choking on most of her words. "S-Seto, he-he... the car was c-coming... and-and it hit him... and then he drove away!" She cried, wishing that she could control her voice for only a moment to get the full and clear story out to him. But she just couldn't.

The last time she saw her best friend he looked dead to her, bleeding on her as she held him and impatiently waited for the ambulance that a good samaritan with a cell phone had called for.

It was almost too scary to even think about.

Seto felt his heart drop, but at the same time a glimmer of something that she had never seen in his eyes before had made itself known to her.

'A hit and run.' Kaiba thought, already trying to hatch a plan to catch whoever was responsible before making sure that he or she spent the rest of their miserable life in the toughest prison he could find.

No one does that to his brother and gets away with it! Not no one!!

Seto could vaguely feel a hand on his shoulder. "Seto, I'm sure he's okay, he'll be fine--"

"AND JUST HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW?!" The brunet demanded in a rage, grabbing Jou by the collar of his shirt before backing him into the wall, Hoshi letting out a small cry of surprise at the sight. "DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME THAT HE WILL BE ALRIGHT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW A FUCKING THING!!" He roared at him threateningly, not at all feeling the tears dripping down his cheeks.

Jou saw them though, clearly, and while he couldn't believe his own eyes at the sight of them, at the same time he kind of saw it coming.

Seto was crying for his brother.

Without saying another word, Jou reached up before calmly peeling his hands off him. Trying not to make any contact with the CEO's furious blue eyes just yet as he did. And when he finally did make eye contact with him, it became painfully obvious how close he was to breaking down. So he was rather quick, and yet gentle at the same time to pull him close for a much needed and comforting hug.

He fully expected to be shoved away for being so sentimental, but when Seto accepted it, practically burying his face in the blonde's shoulder as he sobbed, Jou was only just a little stunned. But knowing how much he must need it, he began making soothing circles with his hand on his shaking back, with shushing sounds to go along with it.

"I-I'll kill whoever did this to him! I-I swear to fucking God I will!" The brunet cried, the threat muffled in Jou's shoulder.

Even though he wasn't looking, Jou still nodded his head. "I know. I know you will." Was all he found he could say. Trying to be as supportive as humanly possible without setting him off again.

He needed someone to be there with him. For both him and Mokuba. He didn't know who the little girl was, but she was obviously a friend of Mokuba's as well as a minor, almost completely covered in blood that he guessed wasn't her own. She would be needing to leave with her parents, at least to get changed until she could come back, and that would leave Seto all alone.

Jou decided to call his dad when he had the time, and then tell him about what had happened. Surely with his permission along with the Seto Kaiba at his side, the hospital wouldn't make him leave.

Would they?

The blonde suddenly noticed how there were people gathering at the end of the hall. Looking down at them, and in some cases pointing at them. Trying to decide if their eyes were playing tricks on them and whether or not they were actually seeing Seto Kaiba crying on a classmate.

Jou slowly led him over to where a few chairs were placed, right beside a rather large plant that could conceal them for the most part in hopes that none of the people would get curious enough to come on down to pester Seto when he was feeling at his worst.

Around thirty some odd minutes later, after Hoshi's parents had come to take her home, despite the girls begging and protests to stay, once of the doctors in charge of Mokuba's operation appeared.

His clothes were free of any blood which gave the impression that he had cleaned himself up for sensitivities sake first. "Seto Kaiba?" He asked timidly, knowing that if he was actually dealing with the Seto Kaiba, which he most likely was, then he would be in a shit load of trouble for even the tiniest of mistakes on his precious younger brother. And he didn't feel like taking anymore shit that day.

Seto was on his feet in an instant, approaching that man before him with something in his eyes that promised murder if Mokuba wasn't safe and healthy.

"Is he alright? When can I see him?" He demanded hotly, Jou leaning in a little closer from where he sat as if to hear the news better.

The doctor sighed...
