I have nothing to say since I just posted my last chapter 2 minutes ago unless that I think the fun of the story should be starting this or the next chapter.
Ok now I have something to say, sorry for the long time before the update but my comp crashed so we had to had it repaired an my mom don't want us to reinstall the internet before we got an anti-virus that actually work.
I got my first not 100 positive review but I apreciate it, personaly my second fic isnt my favoryte either but when I think about it, when I first started in the other's shoes no one was supose to know about Kaiba and Joey and everything was suppose to get back to normal with both Joey and Kaiba understanding the other one dont have such an easy life lolll it's really far from that. Dont worry there wont be any repetition like like in my other fic, let just say that after a while I got tired of this story and wanted to go on with the sequel.
As for who's Davy well that's what you are about to find out, sorry I wasnt supposed to keep you people waiting this long but my comp totally crashed so we had to made it repair, but that had a good point, because I couldnt use internet all I did was writing so now I'm currently half done through chapter 10.
Chapter 6: The runaway group.
The said Davy stood up, he walked slowly toward Kaiba not too sure what to expect, he stopped about a foot away from him, he too was tall, being only an inch below Kaiba so his weight wasn't impressive to him, his green eyes staring right into Kaiba's deep icy blue ones and his black hairs looking almost exactly the same as Kaiba's brown ones.
"Why are you here? Didn't had enough punishment yet?" Davy asked.
Just as Kaiba thought, he hadn't change a bit, he was just as arrogant as he himself was. "I came here to talk with you." Kaiba simply said.
"I don't want to have anything to do with a Kaiba; they're all rotten to the core." Davy said, turning away.
"My name has never been a source of conflict between us before." Kaiba shouted.
"That was before I see what kind of monster you are." Davy said.
"And what about you, your family is like 10 time worst than Gozaburo was, you're the son of a guy who was scaring even my step-father and you tell me that you won't talk to me because of my name, I'm not even a real Kaiba." Kaiba yelled in anger.
"That's different, I don't act like them." Davy said. "If I were you I'll leave, guys like you are not welcome here and I wouldn't want to give the kid a bad example by teaching you another lesson"
"No I won't and it's not different, you are accusing me because of some stupid newspapers, What tells you this is true, but you are right, I won't deny it, I abused Mokuba's trust. I love him and you know I would die before hurting him on purpose, I didn't realised how much I was hurting him, he never told me but I don't beat him and I'll never do it and more than anything I never sexually abused him." Kaiba yelled.
"I didn't come here to be reminded about how terrible I was toward my little brother, I came here because this is the only place where someone actually helped me when I needed it and I thought you would, but I suppose I was wrong, it seem you really can trust anyone after all." Kaiba said turning away.
Davy didn't said anything, he was just like Kaiba, full of pride, but then again it did take Kaiba a lot of guts to ask for his help, and he was right, what told him what was in the newspapers was true, after all no one asked for Kaiba's version. "Hey." Davy Said. "Come one inside, we could talk a bit." He said motioning to the mansion.
Kaiba looked back at him, he looked sincere, so he took his chance. He walked back to him and followed him inside the rest of the old mansion. He looked around him, everything was still the same, it remembered him how much he loved this place. They entered a room, well most of the piece had been turned into a room, and the bed weren't that much, there were only made of blanket. Davy sat down on a 'bed' and motioned to Kaiba to do the same.
"You have guts coming here you know, people who know you here are very mad about what they learned in the newspaper, they fell like you had betrayed them, and me the first." Davy said.
"I know, but I was hoping that coming back here could help me, anyway I have nothing to lose." Kaiba said.
"And what do you mean by that, why would you need help." Davy asked.
"When I first came here, I had lost the will to live, but being here with people who knew how I was feeling and what I have been trough and didn't judge me because of it really helped me. It may hadn't last long but the time I stayed here I was enjoying my life, living here give me the will to continue. I was hoping I could get it back once again." Kaiba said.
Davy looked at him suspiciously. "Well since you say that what is in the newspaper isn't true I'll like an explanation of what happened." He said crossing his arm.
"Who is this guy Davy is with?" a child asked.
"I know who he is, he's Seto Kaiba, he was the world champion at duel monster." Another added.
"I read he was beating his little brother."
"That's not true." A young girl the same age as Kaiba said.
"You say that only because you loved him the first time you saw him." A guy said.
"Oh shut up Jim, I don't love him, but you know him as well as I do and you know he wouldn't hurt his little brother." The girl replied.
"It doesn't matter if I know him or not, you love him and as for him, I'll believe he never hurt his little brother when I heard him from his mouth."
"I see that I'm very popular around here, your still the same as ever I see Jim, but no one believe me so why would you?" Kaiba said behind him.
"Because here people are honest and if I ever find out you were lying I'll make you regret it." Jim turned around and looked at Kaiba with an emotionless face. "I'll make this quick so we can be settle, are you beating your brother?" He asked.
"No" Kaiba answered.
"Then it's settle, we forget all about this nonsense, come a little over here Seto I'm sure you have a lot of thing to tell us, it's has been what, 4 years since we last saw you." He said.
Kaiba sat with them, Davy presented him to the new face and all his old friend started to question him about what had happened during those 4 years, at start Kaiba was a little bit reluctant about talking but soon he was fully opening to them, after all, in here they were all the same, they all suffered the same thing as him, that's why they were here after all, to help each other.
After he had told them everything, well almost, there was still some things he wasn't ready to share they told him what had happened while he was gone, that caused him to remember how he met them.
Flashback:
"Mokuba, wake up little brother." 12 years old Seto said shaking his little brother.
"Seto? What are you doing, it's only 1 in the morning, if you get caught here you'll be in trouble." Mokuba said with worry apparent in his voice.
"It doesn't matter, we are going away." Seto said getting some cloth out for his little brother.
"What do you mean we are going away?" Mokuba said as he started to dress. "Seto?"
Seto didn't answer him, how could he explain to his 7 years old brother that he couldn't take it any longer, that he wished he could take his life away, he had never noticed the wound on his wrist, in fact he had no idea what Gozaburo was doing to him, Seto had done everything for his brother to have a good life but he couldn't take it any longer, he didn't wanted to leave his little brother alone with Gozaburo, but what if someday he do it, like he almost did it just a few moment ago, he couldn't take that risk so he was running away with his little brother.
Once Mokuba was ready they exited his room, they walked slowly to make sure they wouldn't wake up anyone. Seto had no idea if he would even succeed in getting outside; his step-father was such a paranoid freak. Seto was still thinking about the way to get out when he saw an open window, that was luck, Gozaburo hated open window.
Seto helped Mokuba out of the window and followed him after, now the worst part was done, they were out, after almost getting caught a few time they finally were in the road.
"Where are we going Seto?" Mokuba asked.
"I dunno, someplace where Gozaburo wouldn't find us." Seto said.
"Seto why did we run away?" Mokuba asked.
"When you'll be old enough to understand I'll tell you Mokuba." Seto answered.
When the morning came, they news that both of them had run away had made it to the entire city so they were stuck hiding. They ended up in a big park, Seto had no idea where he was, he had never heard of this place but he guess that was good since there wasn't anyone. But when he heard laughing he realised he was wrong, his first reaction was to run away but his curiosity got the best of him, he wanted to know who would be at such a place.
Seto walked slowly in the direction the voice came from, Mokuba was still holding his cloth trying to be as near as possible to his brother. Finally they came into view; a small group around 30 person around a fire were laughing and speaking.
"What are two child your age doing out here alone at such an hour?" asked a voice behind Seto.
Seto quickly turned around and saw a young girl about three inches away from him, this surprised him so much he let out a small yell and felt backyard.
"Hey no need to worry kid, I wont hurt you, I was just asking." The girl said.
"You should stop asking things, you always scare people to death by walking behind them, I bet this kid just lost 10 years of his life because of you." Said another guys walking to them.
He kneeled down in front of Seto who was still on the ground. "Hey kid, I'm Ben, What about you?" The so called Ben was around the age of 17 he had red hair with yellow-brown eyes, but he didn't really looked like he would hurt them.
"I'm Seto."
"So you two are the kids Kaiba who ran away during the night." Said the girl. "What brings you here?"
"I-I was just looking for a place to hide." Seto answered.
"Well you came to the right place, here everyone ran away from their home." The girl said.
"Why?"
"Oh different reason, some are orphan who run away from their foster home because they weren't taking care of them or some other who ran away from their house because their parents beat them." The girl said.
"Tell me kid, why did you run away?" Ben asked.
"Because...my step-father keeps beating me." Seto said looking down.
"Ok come with me, you both look awfully tied, we'll talk a little after you rest." He said taking them into the ruin of a mansion.
"Seto?" Mokuba asked. "Is it true? Is Gozaburo really beating you? Is that why we run away?"
"Yes, yes and yes Mokuba." Seto said trying to sleep but he was too afraid that Gozaburo will find him.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I didn't want you to worry about me, you were happy there." Seto said.
"But I don't want to be happy if that mean you have to suffer." Mokuba almost yelled to his brother.
Seto looked at his little brother with surprise all over his face, his brother never yelled like that before, especially not to him, but what surprised him the most was what he said. Seto held his little brother closer to him until both of them fall asleep.
Seto was the first one to wake up, after Ben asked him some question he agrees to let him and his brother stay. He found out this was some kind of clan where they take in kids who run away, all of them had been mistreat so they ended up here.
"Of course here there are some rules, since we all run away; if we are catch we'll get send back to our parent, which I doubt you want to happen so none of you is allowed to leave the park without someone over 15 years old. Here everyone are equal, we all get the same thing. And here everyone lived the same thing, we understand each other and we never judge anyone by what happened to them, or any other things." Ben said.
Seto nodded, this place looked good to him, and after a few days it was as if he had lived here all his life. Here the older people were taking care of the younger, it felt good to him to know there was someone watching over him and who would help him anytime. Of course the older ones were teaching things to the younger, like a school, at start Seto was reluctant because last time they found out he was a genius no one wanted to play with him anymore but Ben was right, here no one judged him, in fact they found it was cool and that he was lucky.
It was the first time since his father died that Seto had been this happy, for the first time of his life he had friends, one of them in particular was so far his best friend ever, his name was David but he hated it since it was the same as his father so people named him Davy, the two of them were inseparable, even Mokuba had made some friends but still he preferred Seto's company which was more than fine by him.
Time passed quickly, soon three month passed but that's when it all ended. Some young kid, not understanding how dangerous going into the city was decided not to obey the rules and played in the road, unfortunately Mokuba was with them, too young to understand also.
Seto and Davy were the first one to see them, they weren't that far from the park but still far enough for people to recognise them. Unfortunately that's what happened, two police officers recognised them. Under normal circumstances Seto wouldn't have left the safety of the park, he wouldn't take that risk but Mokuba was with them so he didn't hesitate one second before running to his brother with Davy following him .Seto and Davy had been faster at reaching the kids the problem was they couldn't go back to the park since the two polices would follow them.
Both of them took a different way, after a while Davy and three of the kids finally lost the officer and went back to the park, unfortunately Seto wasn't that lucky, because he was the son of Gozaburo the officer called for help so Seto, Mokuba and two of the kids were caught.
Of course the police officers didn't paid any attention when he told them Gozaburo was beating him and brought him back to the mansion a few hours later. Once they arrived Mokuba was locked inside his room and Seto brought to Gozaburo's office, this night was the worst of all his life, the body guard pushed Seto into the office and closed the door behind him, leaving Seto alone with his step-father.
Gozaburo looked up from his work to his son. "Well, what do we have here?" He stood up and walked in Seto's direction.
Seto had never been so afraid in his life; he kept his eyes down knowing he would pay greatly for what he had done. Right now Gozaburo didn't seemed mad at all but it was always like that, trying to make him drop his guard and hit him when he less expect it.
"You brat." He shouted hitting Seto with so much force that he felt to his side.
Seto stayed there not moving, he knew he had no way of getting away, after a while he was so beat up he barely could move, even breathing was paining him.
"Here that'll be enough. For now." Gozaburo said as he pushed Seto into his room, too tired to even stay on his foot Seto felt to the ground and made no attempt to get up. "Now it's time for your brother to learn some discipline."
"What?" Seto asked, fearing he already know the answer.
"I'm going to teach that brat what it cost to disobey me." Gozaburo said.
"Leave him alone, I'll do anything just don't hurt him." Seto pleaded.
Gozaburo kicked him in the stomach. "It's too late for that, you already obey me but since you don't seem to care what I do to you maybe you'll care more for what I do to your precious little brother." He said locking Seto into his room.
What happened next seem to last for hours, Seto could hear his little brother yell in pain and pleading his step father to stop. That day Seto promised to himself that one day he would make him pay greatly for hurting his little brother.
&&&End flashback&&&
With time Kaiba got better, after two week everybody had forget about the newspaper, he would stay with them all the time, even for the night, he had no reason to go back to the city anyway and he couldn't support the idea of being alone. Slowly he started to eat again, and sleep, his health was better, he was like in a phase of emptiness, he wasn't sad or anything, he even stopped to hurt himself but yet nothing give him even the slightest happiness but still here his mind was in peace.
"Hey look at ghost!" a guy said jokingly pointing at Kaiba.
People around laughed a bit, they weren't surprised that Seto didn't laugh, so far he hadn't did it once, anyone could see he had gotten better but that he was still far from ok. Kaiba got closer to see what this ghost thing was. Apparently someone realised he didn't showed up in the city for the last month because he was reported missing, the three most popular explanation for his disappearance were murder, suicide or kidnapping.
Kaiba finished to read the article. "Maybe I should go back a little while before they do a search party. What do you think?" He asked Davy, who had just joined them, with a voice that didn't showed that slightest joy.
Davy was now used to his friend behaviour, he just wished he could do more for his friend to help him get better. "I dunno, do you really think they'll do one?"
"Not a chance, but if I don't go back they'll declare me dead and they'll let those stupid doctor kill Mokuba." Kaiba said starting to walk toward the city.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, what if the social worker decide to send you back to a foster home." Davy said.
"I'll be back by tomorrow." Kaiba simply said with the same emotionless voice he had since he stayed there.
Ok here this one stop, as for the three other chapter on my comp, well if you are nice and review than I'll put them sooner.
