Well, I hope you all enjoy this chapter... I decided to put in some interesting things... and it took me a while to write... my interest in this story has gone down the drain -- Oh! If anyone has an idea for what the main bad guy should look like, tell me! I need some help with that! Now, read and review!
The blonde felt a hand on his shoulder, so he turned, seeing Kaiba behind him, glaring out onto the street. "Kaiba?" Joey asked, his chocolate eyes turning toward the street. A car was driving by, the light directed straight into the alley. Joey froze in place. The car stopped, and a window rolled down. "Hey, you!" a voice came from the car. Joey didn't move. "Yeah, I'm talking to you!" Joey stood still and silent for a moment. "Uh... yeah?" he swallowed hard. "What's your name?" Joey's eyes widened a little. "Uh..."
"Run." A voice came next to his ear. Joey nodded slightly, and was off like a rocket. "HEY!" he heard behind him. He took no notice, and continued running, until he heard a loud bang behind him, and something went whizzing by his right arm. He froze suddenly. He felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. He cried out, holding his shoulder. He could feel a warm, liquid-y substance. He looked over, and saw crimson gushing from a hole, reddening his shirt. He turned his head, looking behind him, seeing a suit holding a fifty.
Joey's eyes widened again. He took off running, and heard another bang. Fortunately, he ducked his head slightly, and the bullet went whizzing by. They were honestly trying to kill him! Oh wait... why did that surprise him? He dodged off into another alley, when another bullet went by his chest. He looked over towards the street, and saw another suit. Was that possible? He took off running once again, down through the alleys, trying to find a way out of this mess. He soon just bolted out of the alleys altogether.
He ran on, bullets being shot at him left and right. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his left leg and he tripped. His leg pulsed, and he reached a hand down, feeling a warm liquid-y substance, once again. He started getting up, but was pushed down. He felt cold metal against the back of his head. "Heh, nice try there, bud." he heard the voice of one of suits behind him. Joey clenched his eyes shut. "I hope your ready to feel pain." Joey winced slightly, feeling the metal push against his skull harder. "The end of Joey Wheeler." This voice was different, yet familiar. The pushing disappeared, and there was a loud crashing noise. Joey sat up suddenly, and looked around. What he saw surprised him.
Kaiba had taken hold of the suit by the back of the collar, holding him up. He also now held the gun in his ghostly hand. The suit had an extremely freaked out look on his face. "Play nice." Kaiba said cooly, throwing the suit to the ground. The suit scrambled to his feet and screamed, running off, obviously freaked out of his wits. Joey smirked at his deceased... wait, wait, wait, was I about to call them friends?!
Kaiba smirked back. "You seemed scared for a minute there, Wheeler." Joey rolled his eyes. "I was not scared... I was... surprised." Kaiba stifled a laugh. Yes, a laugh, not a cackle, or any other evil laughter-related thing, laugh. Kaiba tossed him the gun, and he caught it easily. He looked at it, surprised. "You gave me a gun? Are you kidding?" Kaiba smirked yet again. "It's for your own safety, Wheeler. It may not be smart to give you a gun, but I have this strong feeling that you'll need it. And you've got a suit behind you." Joey blinked. He twirled around to find, as Kaiba had said, another suit behind him. He lifted the gun and a loud bang was heard. The suit fell over, blood coming from the suit's leg.
Kaiba gave a surprised look. "Wheeler, you're a good aim." he complimented. Joey didn't reply, and Kaiba blinked. He stepped forward, towards the blonde. The blonde suddenly fell over, a reddish liquid started to pool around his neck slightly. "Wh-Wheeler?!" Kaiba exclaimed, running to the blonde and kneeling. He set a hand on Joey's shoulder and shook him. "Wheeler, stop messing around! Get up!" Joey started to get up. He looked up at Kaiba, his eyes clouded over. "Wheeler, this better not be a joke! Get up!" Blood was covering the blonde's collar and was dripping down the front of his shirt.
Kaiba shook Joey. "No, Wheeler! Don't mess with me!" Joey smirked, his eyes returning to normal. "You really though I was gonna die, didn't you?!" Joey laughed. Kaiba glared, throwing the boy back. "Where did you get shot?!" Joey pulled down his collar, revealing a slight cut the bullet had made when it went whizzing by. "Wheeler, get up!" Kaiba exclaimed. He turned around and started to walk away. Joey got up, laughing. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. But were you honestly worried about me?" A small cackled came from Kaiba. "Worried? About you? No, I was worried that I was going to lose the only chance to save my brother."
Joey sighed, starting toward Kaiba. "Well, that was close though, I have to admit. I didn't act falling over, I can tell you that much." He rubbed his neck. "That really did hurt too." he looked at his hand, then wiped the crimson liquid on his shirt. He looked back over at Kaiba's ghost. "Dude, how can you hold solid objects, anyway?!" Kaiba shook his head. "Wheeler, it takes a lot of my energy to do it, I'm focusing hard on my hands to pick something up. I've been focusing energy on my body to make myself visible to you as well. Pretty soon I won't be able to do either, and you'll be on your own. So I suggest, that if we're going to stand around and chat like this, then we should kiss my brother and your friends good-bye." Kaiba turned to Joey. Joey clenched his fist. "Okay. I get it. Then let's go." Joey ran forward, and past Kaiba's ghost. Kaiba watched the boy until he finally took up the chase. "Wheeler!" he called after Joey. Joey looked back. "What?" Kaiba smirked. "I'm gonna make myself invisible so I can save up my energy. It takes energy to talk as well, so I'm sure you won't be hearing my voice for a while." Joey smirked, turning forward. "Well, that's a big relief." Kaiba rolled his eyes. He suddenly disappeared. Joey looked behind him slightly, but turned forward. He suddenly stopped. "Wait a second! Kaiba! Where the hell am I supposed to go?!" There was no reply. Joey growled.
Joey went on running, not even knowing where he was supposed to go. Suddenly, he remembered something. Sakura. He suddenly turned off into another alley, knowing exactly where he was. He could only wonder if Kaiba was still following him. The boy turned here or there, and soon he came out onto another street. This street had a ton of run-down houses and such. The boy walked down the sidewalk cooly now. He soon got to the familiar, 2450 Sakura, address. He walked up to the door and knocked loudly.
The door opened just slightly, and a familiar voice came, "Who's there?" Joey blinked. "Joey Wheeler," The door opened the rest of the way, revealing a suit. "Wheeler, you came back?" Joey smirked. "Glad you recognize me." the suit pulled out a gun and held it up. Joey, more quickly, pulled out the gun he had and shot the guy on the left side (A/N: Joey's left) of his chest. The suit fell back, holding his chest. Joey's smirk increased as he walked past the suit and into the house, gun up.
He walked around the corners, gun up, ready to shoot, keeping his eye out for anyone. "I know there's someone here!" He exclaimed. Suddenly a trap door underneath him fell, and he fell through, soon landing on his knees. He cried out in pain... he had fallen a long way! He looked around him... and guess who he saw.
Kai stood directly in front of him, smirk on his face. Joey looked up and glared at him, until he realized that there were suits all around, holding guns to his head. "Drop your weapon." Kai smirked. Joey tossed his gun aside. "Where are my friends?" Joey growled. Kai laughed. "Ah, ah, ah, I'll ask the questions... What are you doing here?" Joey's eyes gazed up at Kai, anger and hatred swimming in them. "I'm here for my friends."
Kai laughed. "He's here for his friends. Well, okay." Kai turned to a few suits. "Take him to his friends." Joey blinked. Two suits picked him up and started to drag him away. Joey sort of struggled, but let them pull him. He was going to be reunited with the others... hopefully he could save them from there.
The suit threw him into a room on his stomach. He was face first into the ground until he sat up, and looked around. He heard gasps, and then, four different familiar voices saying, "Joey!!" Joey looked around him, seeing Mokuba, Yugi, Tristen, and Silver. "Guys!!" He exclaimed. Everyone ran over to him. "How'd you get here?!" they all exclaimed. Joey sweatdropped. "Eh... through the front door...?" They moaned. "Man.." Joey looked at them. "But guys, wait! You've got to hear this! I-" he cut himself off. Oh right, like they were going to believe him about seeing Kaiba's ghost! "I uh... ah, man, I just forgot." Tristen rolled his eyes. "Great, man, do you have a way we can get out of here?" Joey blinked, then remembered something. "Hey, Tristen, do you have that paper with those numbers on it?" Joey asked, looking at him. Tristen blinked. "Well, yeah."
