ch.2:funeral (please don't bash me.i no own ygo!)

- Joey arrived at the mansion and ran up to the front pourch. He noticed instantly the gloomy aura lingered heavely around the house.It wasn't an official funeral... but that made it better... It wasn't open to the public...

"Joey, are you going to come in?" Joey snapped out of his thoughts and noticed Bakura standing in the door way.

"Oh,...yeah?"Joey stepped inside.

"What's wrong?"Bakura asked and studied his friend's face.

"It's nothin'. I'm just thinkin'..."Joey smiled weakly,"So....how is Pegasus doin'?"

"I wouldn't bother him,Joey...He's a real wreck,"Bakura said unhappily,"...Just imagine...having to go to the mourge and identify your child's dead body....I can't imagine how horrible it was for him..."Bakura felt tears begin to well up in his large,chocolate eyes,"E-excuse me..."He turned from Joey and stayed secluded from everyone else for the time being,Joey understood, Bakura was as close to Seto as Seto was to Joey.

"Oh....I just feel terrible.." Joey turned his head to find a rather portly woman,he had met her once before, she was Seto's aunt.

"If I hadn't just dumped him in that orphanage....no..It was the right choice..."She smirked,"After all..I did get all of his money that his parents left him...at least he was worth some cash,he served his purpose in this by making me rich!"

-Joey felt rage burn in his body. There were a few people around Seto's aunt,all laughing at her joke. Joey just could't hold his anger in anymore.

"You...You just shut your fuckin' mouths!!"Joey bellowed,his voice echoing in the large house.

"Young man...please control you temper and your tongue while your at it..."A man said in deadly tone.

"Why don't you shut your mouth?! You all are just.."

"Just what?"Another woman teased.

"..Your just money greedy bastards!! You know that?This is a funeral,a time to pay your last respects!But instead... your talkin' about how you swindled Seto outta all his cash! God, you people make me SICK!!!" Joey screamed at them. The whole room had fallen silent and all eyes fell upon Joey.

"Joey..."Yugi wispered in shock.

-Joey turned his back to them, he looked up in a mirror in front of him, and felt his heart stop when he saw Seto's body laying there in a casket behind him.

"S...Seto,,"People would say that he looked so natural and things like that, but he didn't.He was as pale as a ghost, even his lips were white and his shaggy hair covered his azure eyes. Joey couldn't take anymore of seeing his friend just laying there, he burst into a mad run, not stopping until he reached a medow far from Domino. Joey fell onto the grassy ground and cried.

"Joe-kun....are you okay?" someone asked.

"What?" Joey sat up in alarm, he was shocked to see that it was Pegasus. He didn't look that bad... yet his skin had lost its color and his face was tear stained, but he still gave Joey the same warm smile that he always did.

"Come, Joseph...sit.." Pegasus said softly and patted a spot on the ground next to him," There's... something that I want to tell you about Seto..."
