Chapter 8

"Move it Yugi!" Yami called through the house, all ready to leave and walk to Kaiba's. "We need to go."

"Yami!" Yugi whined as he trotted down the stairs slowly. "Give poor Kaiba a break, we have gone over there every day for three straight days, and all you do is glare at Kaiba-San." Yugi said as he stared moodily at his Yami. "He has been there three days now, and Kaiba hasn't harmed a hair on his head, and hasn't even bitten him! What is the big deal? I trust Kaiba, I think Jou may be starting to, though I cannot be certain, so why can't you?"

"I still don't trust him. He is a no good vampire."

"Who has never bitten a human without a reason!" Yugi said in protest. "And I know that angels blood is a great delicacy and delight to vampires, but Kaiba has self control!"

"We're still going." Yami turned towards the door. "Oh, and don't forget her." He said, nodding towards the floor. "I think she'll put a smile on Jou's face."

Yugi sighed in defeat, bending down to pick up the black and white kitten. "Come on Nazzie, Yami refuses to give up, we might as well go." He smiled as he got a small mewl in return.

"Nii-San!" Mokuba called as he ran up the stairs. Running through his brother's office door, he found it empty. "Now where is he?"

He ran to Jou's room and knocked on the door, waiting for an answer. "Come in." Jou's small voice rang in his ears lightly.

Mokuba slowly walked into the room, getting a quick 'Shhh' from Jou. "What?" Mokuba whispered at the blind boy.

"Kaiba's asleep." Jou said quietly. "I can hear him breathing."

"He's still in here?" Mokuba asked, completely shocked. "For the past three days he has been in here, keeping an eye on you, feeding you, and working on Kaiba in here. The guy needs a break!"

"He's asleep now kid. Let's put him to bed." Jou said, slowly climbing out of the bed, finding the floor with his feet.

"Sit back down Jou-Chan, you can't walk around if you don't know the surroundings, and also, you can't see!"

"I'll be fine, just keep talking to me, I will follow your voice. I am human after all, I can hear you."

"All right." Mokuba said rather hesitantly. "I will keep talking to you." Noticing how effective talking was, Jou was heading straight for him. "Now how are we, one blind teen.."

"I resent that Mokuba." Jou growled slightly.

"...And one small kid going to get my tall brother into his room down the hall, and into bed?"

"Hey, I am a big tough boy, I can carry him, just lead me to him, ok?"

"Are you sure you can handle that Jou?" Mokuba asked worriedly. "You're still quite weak."

"Would you trust me? I am not made of glass like Yami thinks." Jou said, smiling at how Yami and Yugi had been fussing over him a lot over the past few days.

Mokuba sighed in defeat and shuffled over to his older brother. "Nii-San is over here Jou-Chan." Mokuba said, watching Jou turn to follow his voice. "But how will you carry him?"

"We will get to that when we get there Mokuba, for now, just keep talking."

"I don't know how long I can keep talking Jou-Chan, I think Nii-San is rousing." Mokuba said as he saw Seto flinch in his sleep. Suddenly shifting to find a more comfortable position. "I think he is waking up."

"Then we best leave him alone?"

"Yes, if he catches you touching him, there could be hell to pay."

"Watch your mouth Mokuba." Seto growled as he slowly opened his crystal blue eyes. "You know how I feel about you swearing. You're to young. You have to be the blondes height or taller, got it?"

"Yes Nii-San."

"What are you doing up here anyway?"

"Huh? Oh!" Mokuba's eyes widened as he remembered what he was looking for Seto for in the first place. "Kaiba Corp. called. There is some sort of minimum balance problem that needs to be taken care of, first priority thing."

"Fine." He sighed, growling lowly as he slowly stood up. "That is one uncomfortable chair." He looked up to see Jou staring blankly ahead, what surprised him was that the pup was up at all. "Shouldn't you be in bed pup?" He asked with a light sneer. "You haven't healed."

"I am not a damn dog Kaiba!!" Jou wailed as he turned to face Kaiba's voice. "And I am also not made of glass! I can take care of myself, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Yugi's wishes!"

"Listen to me carefully mutt!" Seto ground out, holding himself back from pummeling the boy himself. "I will speak in lamens terms so that you can understand. Your wounds have not had time to heal! Far from it actually! Sit your scrawny emaciated ass back onto that damn bed! Lay down, and stay there! I am not going to be held responsible if your worthless ass dies!! I pity you, haven't you even noticed that your friends don't even care? They pity you as well, because you lost everything." He finally looked up at the blind boy to see the saddened look on the blondes face.

"SETO!" Mokuba cried out, looking at the tears starting to slowly steam down Jou's face.

"That's not true! You may pity me and think I am worthless and of no use! But Yugi and Yami do not! And for the exception of Anzu and Otogi, neither do the others!"

"Stop kidding yourself mutt! You have no friends, you should have stayed in that gang you were in before Yugi made you supposedly see the light! They helped you, at least you were strong then!"

"Shut up!! Just shut up Seto!" Mokuba screamed as he watched Jou sink to the floor.

"It's not true. It's not true!!" Jou yelled as his eyes locked on Seto. "I can tell you're lying. I may be blind, but I can still sense you, and I can see that you are lying!"

"Give it up mutt, I do not lie!"

"You are now, I can tell, not only from you, but from Mokuba too!"

"Stop it, both of you!" A strong voice beckoned from the doorway. "Both of you will stop yelling." Yami commanded. Yugi by his side, looking about ready to cry.

"How can you say that Kaiba-San?" Yugi said with a tear stricken voice. "How could you say that, it isn't true, none of it!"

"And what is it to you shrimp!?" Kaiba said, voice laced with venom as he turned towards the two. "He is my business! Not yours!"

"Leave him alone big brother! Please!"

Jou sat and listened to Kaiba and the others bicker, staring blindly down at the floor crying. 'He is lying, he has to be, Yugi cares for me, I know he does.' Jou said as his head started to ache. 'He cares! He has to care! B-but, but Kaiba doesn't. Why am I even here if Kaiba hates me so? Why would Yugi leave me here with him? Unless he really does hate and pity me, but, that can't be right, can it?'

Jou's head started to pound harder, and his headache getting worse as he started to see blue and cloudy. 'What's happening?' Jou thought as he grabbed his head. 'It hurts.' "IT HURTS!"

"Jou?" Yugi cried as he ran to the blondes side. "Jou, what's wrong?"

"My head hurts." He cried as he lifted his head to try and look at the boy, seeing a very cloudy version of what he suspected to be Yugi. "Something is happening..."

"What? What's wrong?" Yami said, kneeling before the blonde. "Let us help you Jou."

Kaiba stood on the sideline as Mokuba and the others surrounded Jou worriedly.

'I..' Jou thought as he looked up at Yami. 'I can see, very little, but I can see!' He thought as he shakily stood up, walking towards a blurry figure standing off in a corner, guessing the person to be Kaiba. He walked up and threw all of his strength into one hard punch to the boys face. "Ass hole!!"

"Nii-San!!" Mokuba cried as he ran to his brother, who was sitting on the floor with a stunned look on his face.

"He can see." Was all Seto could say."
