Ch.3: To Obtain....You Must Lose...
"What is it?" Joey asked as he sat down beside Pegasus.
"I...just wanted to thank you, Joey..."Pegasus said, not looking at the blonde.
"For what?!" Joey asked in confusion, after what had happened, Pegasus shouldn't be thanking him.
"For saving Seto's life, of course." He smiled.
"What?!!" If this was a joke, it wasn't funny, had Pegasus gone insaine?
"How did I save his life?! I'm the reason that he died..."
"Joey....did Seto ever tell you about his little brother, Mokuba?" Pegasus asked.
"No..." Joey said in quiet, but shocked, voice. Seto had never mentioned a little brother.
"Well..." Pegasus looked as though he was trying to find the right words,"... About a year after Gozaburo was arrested, and I took custody of Seto and Mokuba..... Mokuba died because several of Gozaburo's colliges wanted revenge...so they kidnapped him... and they.." Pegasus trailed off and bit his lip to keep it from trembling.
"What... happened?"Joey asked him.
"They...they beat him to death!" Pegasus cried out.
"..." Joey was in awe after what he had just heared... no wonder Seto never talked aboyt his brother and always fell silent when Joey would talk about his own sibling, and the fact that Pegasus had had such a hard time explaining it,"..I'm sorry, Pegasus..."
"B-but...that's where you come in, Joey...After Mokuba died, Seto had lost his will to live... but then you showed up... you filled him with life again...you.... you let him stay on earth much longer than he would have if you hadn't been sent by God!" Pegasus smiled at Joey through his tears.
"Y-you think I was sent by God?" Joey asked confused.
"Of course, Joey...you kept my son on earth... you were his... guardian angel." .
"An angel,huh?"Joey grinned.
"Would you like a ride home?" Pegasus asked as he strolled over to his car.
"Na....I'll stay here." Joey replied.
"Will you be alright by yourself?"
"Yeah, you go home and rest." Pegasus nodded and drove away slowly.
-"Joey..." The blond turned around to find to find Yami behind him.
"Yami?"Joey wondered what he wanted.
"Do you want to see Seto again?" Yami asked flatly.
"S-Seto?! Yeah!!"Joey said happily.
"I can help you... I can bring him back..." Yami said once again with no emotion.
"You...can?!" Joey nearly screamed," H-how!?"
"Yes...but.. Joey.." Yami cut himself off.
"What?" Joey asked.
"To gain something.... you must lose something dear to you." Yami said.
"What...why?" Joey asked sadly.
"It is just the way of life,Joey...now once you make up your to this place." Yami slipped a piece of paper into Joey's hand, along with the directions.
"Far well,Joe-kun.." Yami disapeared into thin air and left Joey there with new found hope. But something hit him... what was he going to give up?
