Yugi speaking

Flame Swordswoman: Yay! It was action packed! I am glad you loved those chapters. I must have done something right. One blonde landed dead and the other fell unconscious, I thought that was a very good line, one of my bests I would say. Yeah, that would have sucked if they killed me over the cliffy but it would suck for them too because they would never know who died and who lived. You thought Joey was dead, that's good because I wanted the readers to think that but I think like what you said, 'after 16 chapters? Yeah right' You guys are just too smart for me. I am glad you liked the fight scene; I spent almost two hours trying to write that one night. I am happy. I would have to agree, the hospital scene was a bit challenging. Yep, I have been playing Final Fantasy for forever. My brother and I had Final Fantasy 7 when we were little and it was just the coolest damn thing I had played. I just bought Final Fantasy X-2 and I just started chapter 3 I believe. It is friggin cool! I love that song as well; I am trying to find the soundtrack. Anyway, thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

Miru Amai: I kinda had you for a second with the whole blonde thing hu? I don't think I would have the heart to kill poor Joey off. Yeah, he survived and Nick got his lunch. You sorta scared me when you took Paine's sword, I could have swore I was in trouble next. Normal?…Hmmmm….Normal…did I say something about normal? I don't know about normal but why don't you read this new chapter and find out for yourself. Thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

Bam-Girl-Gravi666: You were hoping Jou had died…? Can't blame you I read stories every once in a while where I think he should die just to make things interesting. Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you'll be okay with this chapter, is kind of a slow one. Thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

Puffin: Don't fret with your story; it's quite all right for you to be stuck. I would rather wait for a new chapter than have you do a half-assed job and you being upset with it. Take your time I'll wait. I have to try and finish my whole story this week…but I think that is becoming less and less possible everyday. Anyway, I am glad you are enjoying yourself. Thanks for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!

Yugi-is-my-one-and-only: That beginning part with Seto saying the infamous git 'r' done line was just for you, I was thinking last night, after I watched BCCT: Rides Again, that maybe Seto should say it in the actual story. I don't know, I'll let you decide. Glad I could entertain you! Well, here is another chapter! I hope you enjoy it and I shall see you next chapter! Thanks for reading!

RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: I thank you for your support and honest comments on this story. I can see where you would get the feeling of reality of my story because that is indeed what I was going for. Now about I can also see where you get the 'male pregnancy' isn't my style, I see it now worries, but in all actuality I have three one-shots with Joey and Seto as parents of a little boy. I just wanted to let you know and I thank you for your honesty. You will probably hate this story by the time you read the end of this chapter, but I don't know that for sure, really it is up to you decide. I will completely understand and at least you had a wonderful time with my first sixteen chapters. I just thought that after all the crap these characters have gone through they deserved a break. Anyway, thank you so much for your support and honesty for my story, all it does is help me out in the long run, thank you. I hope you enjoy this chapter and maybe we'll see each other in the next one!

kenshinfan21: Exactly, I believe my story explains that whole mess with Jack and Vanessa somewhere in the beginning. But, yeah, she just had an affair with Joey's dad that is all. I have continued! I hope you enjoy this new chapter! Thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

Bakura: I believe…that if life gives you lemons, you should find someone who has vodka and have a party.

Malik: I believe…if you want to wear a thong you should have to go through an application process.

Bakura: I believe…Brittney Spears should be part of Baskin Robins 31 flavors…. two scoops!

Run Away Puppy Chapter Seventeen: Home Sweet Home

About a week after the whole incident with the mob and Nick Joey and the rest of his friends were discharged from the hospital and sent home to try and get back to their lives, as easy as it may sound to some of you, it was the hardest feat Seto and Joey had ever done. Things…just weren't the same…well I can't say all things weren't the same, some nights were spent intimately between Seto and Joey…though that act is enough to put anyone to sleep for the night, Joey and Seto found themselves awake at 2 or 3 in the morning, this house just wasn't fit for sleeping anymore. There was just something unsettling about it after the mob attacks, Joey felt vulnerable to more surprises and Seto was unnerved. Sometimes the CEO would come home and find Joey shaking uncontrollably like a frightened puppy. Mokuba even found himself unable to sleep by himself some nights. Seto however had told his brother not to be ashamed of it; it was understandable when you have gone through so much shit before you were even a teenager. Though as okay as Seto was with it, he didn't want to live in fear the rest of his life, something had to be done. He hated seeing a spooked and teary-eyed Mokuba in the middle of the night and it broke his heart to see his happy-go-lucky puppy shake like no tomorrow with insecurity. That is not how home is defined, no indeed. Home is supposed to be a place of safety love. A home is supposed to be filled with love, laughter, and light. Though there was never a shortage of love in this house there sure was lack of everything else. Seto had began to seriously thinking of moving after two weeks had passed like this, the only problem was that he wanted a big house and one that was in the school district, of course there were none. The only other option for Seto was a quiet place in the country; there was some land about 25 minutes away from Domino High and when Seto had checked it out he became very interested. It was just what he wanted.

There was a nice country mansion built on four acres of lush green grass with a small barn about 200 feet from the mansion itself. The house was a three-story building with about 250,000 square feet if not more. It had 8 guest bed rooms, 3 master bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms and one half bathroom with just a toilet and a sink, there was a study and a good sized library. On the third level of the house were a den and an illuminated attic, but what provoked Seto's interest was the nursery. 'This house is our new home, it's perfect' Seto thought as he looked through the picture gallery set up for the house. The CEO had made up his mind and clicked on the contact hyperlink. He wrote down some information then picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" A woman's voice answered.

"Hi, I'm calling about this wonderful house you have up for sale."

"Okay, what can I do for you Mr…?"

"Seto, Seto Kaiba, I was wondering if I could come out tomorrow and take a tour of the house."

"Well yes of course, my husband…excuse me…"

"Sure."

As Seto scrolled through more of the house's website he could hear the woman talking to her children. They sounded like they were really interested in something and wanted their mother's explanations of 'Why?'. Seto just smiled and thought that he just couldn't wait for the infamous 'Why' word. The brunette stopped his thoughts; he was acting like he and Joey actually were going to have children.

"Alright, I'm sorry, my kids are at that age where they need to know everything." The woman apologized. Seto chuckled, "That's okay."

"Do you have children Mr. Kaiba?"

"Uh…no not yet."

"Well let me just say that this is a perfect house for raising little ones, there is just so much space for them to run and just have fun with. So what time did you want to come out?"

"Uh…whatever time suits you and your husband if fine with me."

"How 'bout we get ya out here at 10:00 am?"

"Sounds good to me Mrs…?"

"Oh, Mrs. Kelly Lyons."

"Well thank you for your time Mrs. Lyons, I didn't mean to disturb your family time."

"Oh, no problem at all, we'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

"Bye."

Seto sat back in his office chair and took off his reading glasses and relaxed for a minute. He smiled to himself and thought about letting Joey and Mokuba in on his plan but he decided he wanted it to be a surprise, the only ting Seto could think about was putting his first born down to sleep in that beautiful nursery the house provided. A knock at his office door brought the brunette back to reality; he quickly closed the window of the house and sat back in his chair. "Yeah?" He said. Joey popped his head in to see what his lover was up to. "What are doing Seto?" Joey asked. "Ya know, you don't have to knock and you can come in." Joey slipped through the door and walked over to Seto. The blonde sat on the desk in front of Seto. "What are you doing?" Seto shook his head, "Nothing really, just browsing the net." The brunette said convincingly. Joey nodded and mouthed 'Oh'. "Why, what's on your mind pup?" Seto asked. The blonde looked up at his lover and smiled, "It's just…could you come down stairs, I don't really feel comfortable being down there alone." Joey blushed. Seto stood up and met his puppy's eyes. He cupped Joey's face then brought their lips slowly together in a tender and intimate kiss. They pulled away and Joey wrapped his arms around the brunette's body. "I'll try finding a place where we can start a new life, okay?" Seto said to his shaking puppy. The blonde nodded his head. "Come on, lets go get Mokuba and go see a movie or something." Joey felt his spirits lift and he quickly took Seto by the hand and practically dragged him out of the house.

"What are we going to go see big brother?" Mokuba asked eager to know. "Uh…what's out?" The brunette asked looking at Joey. "Meet The Fockers, Miss Congeniality 2, The Ring 2, Robots, The Pacifier…"

"OH! Big brother, lets go see Robots!" Mokuba squealed. The CEO looked at his puppy who was smiling. "Alright, Robots it is." Mokuba sat quietly in his seat and did hid best impression of Napoleon Dynamite, "Yesssssssssss." Seto quirked an eyebrow at his brother. "What? Don't tell me you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite!" Joey said in mock shock horror. Seto shook his head. "Well, tonight we'll go back to the mansion and watch it." Mokuba said. Joey nodded and Seto sighed.

Mokuba sat in the recliner chair to the right of the couch that his brother and Joey always so rudely took control over. The boy mouthed every word of Napoleon Dynamite till the very end, even the words of the short movie after the credits. "So what did you think big brother?" Mokuba asked as he looked over to the couch. Mokuba sighed and rolled his eyes, "Should have known you two would fall asleep during the movie." The boy, not wanting to sleep upstairs alone, reclined the chair and turned on one of the table lamps and then snuggled under his blanket.

Seto felt something stir against his body and his eyes slowly opened. He smiled to see his puppy curled comfortably into his body. Seto kissed his head then looked up to the clock on the wall. 9:05 am. 'Wow, we slept through the night.' He thought while yawning. He carefully got up and left the slumbering blonde to sleep a bit more. Today he had to go look at his family's new home. He went upstairs to take a shower and change. He figured he should wear some casual but presentable clothing, no trench coats today. The brunette clad himself in a new pair of loose fitting jeans and a baby blue polo shirt. He looked at his clock and realized he had to go; it was already 9:35. Seto ran down stairs to find the puppy still sleeping. "Seto? Where are you going at this hour?" Seto hushed his brother, "Quiet Mokuba, Joey's still sleeping."

"Well, where are you going?"

"I have something I have to do today, something really important. Make sure you and Joey stay together okay?" Seto said while grabbing his car keys. The raven-haired boy nodded his head and smiled. "Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay Seto, bye."

"Bye Mokuba." With that Seto was out the door and ready too look at his soon-to-be new house.

"10:00 am on the dot." Seto said to himself while getting out of his black 2005 mustang (I have one and it just wicked, I love it and I could totally see Seto driving one). As he walked up the cement path to the front door, two little girls and a little boy ran into the house giggling. Seto felt his heart soften again. Once on the front porch the brunette straightened his clothes and removed his sunglasses then rang the doorbell. As he waited he could hear one of the children run up to the door. The CEO watched as the door opened and his gaze fell. "Hi." Said the little boy. Seto smiled, "Hi there, are your parents home?" The boy nodded and ran to go get his Mom. He could hear some talking then the owners of the house came to greet him.

"Hi, you must be Mr. Kaiba." The woman asked while holding out her hand, Seto smiled and shook it. "Please come in. This is my husband Terrence Lyons." Seto politely held out his hand and shook Terrence's. "Well come on into the kitchen and we'll get started." Terrence said. Kaiba and Kelly followed the man. "Can we get you anything? Coffee? Soda? Water?" Mrs. Lyons offered. "Water if I may." Seto said politely.

After getting Seto his water the husband and wife began giving Seto the tour of the house. The brunette was just amazed about how full of light the house was, there was not a dark room in the building, even the basement and attic were just full of light. Seto was just taken by the house. He amazed at every detail and knew Joey and Mokuba would love it when they saw it. Just as the couple was going to introduce the nursery, their children called for attention. "Oh, those kids please don't hesitate to take a look." Mr. Lyons offered. Seto nodded and watched as his guides left. Wanting to see it for his own eyes, Seto slipped into the nursery. It took his breath away. The room was painted the same blue as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It was a huge room with a tall ceiling and there was a beautiful bay window on the back wall that over looked the vast back yard. Seto was taken he wanted this house. He looked around the nursery some more when a voice brought him out of his head.

"So what do you think?" Terrence asked. Seto looked up to the man in the doorway. "I love it, I'll take it." The man smiled. "I see you really like the nursery, do you have children Mr. Kaiba?" The brunette shook his head, "No sir, not yet, but some day I will." Terrence came and stood next to Seto at the bay window. "You seem fairly young, why do you want to rush?"

"Because it's all I ever wanted, I never had a real family when I was growing up. My parents were killed and my little brother and I were orphaned. I just want a family of my own." The house owner smiled, "Kids are the best, yeah they push your buttons but fatherhood is the best thing that will happen to you. Come on, let's get this house into your hands." Terrence said while leading Kaiba back to the kitchen. By the time Seto left the house, it was his. He had found a new home for his family.

Seto pulled up into the mansion's driveway and basically jumped out of his car and ran into the house. "JOEY! MOKUBA!" He yelled. They came running into the room and the brunette ran to his puppy and pulled him into a kiss, it was short lived but Joey wanted to know the reason why his lover came screaming into the house. "What is it Seto?" Mokuba asked. "Start packing your things, I bought us a new house today." Seto said with a smile on his face.

Two Weeks Later…

"Wow, this house is amazing guys." Yugi said while he drooled over its vast size. Joey smiled and welcomed his friends into his new house. Seto and Joey had thrown a house warming party and invited everybody they knew to share the new house with. Joey and Seto had the pleasure of giving their friends the tour of the house. They ooooed and awed through the whole building, then they showed to the empty nursery to everyone. "I take it he previous owners had children?" Yami asked. Seto nodded, "Yeah, three." Yami saw the flash of sadness wash over the brunette's eyes before he hid it behind a happy azure. I know what he wants.

Hmm? What who wants Yami? Kaiba, did you see the sadness in his eyes?

No, what does he want?

Yugi, he wants to have a baby with Joey.

He does? Well…can't you help them? You used to in the past didn't you?

Yeah, but…that was using white magic not dark.

Don't you have a white magic book in your room in the puzzle?

Yeah.

Well, maybe you can read the spell tonight.

I could but here is the problem, the spell only lasts for a night, one of them would have to know about the spell.

Could it be read again?

Yes but it is a good idea to limit its use, magic is magic dark or light.

Alright, you chant the spell and we'll work together to get Seto to seduce Joey.

Are sure about this Yugi?

Our friends want to have a baby together, so lets help them, they have helped us numerous times.

You're right Yugi, lets do it.

Yeah!

It was about 7:45 pm when dinner was set up on the back deck of the house and everybody took a seat at the deck table. Joey stood up and held his glass of white wine to the sky, "Welcome to our new home everyone!"

"Here, Here!" Their group of friends shouted in unison, then taking a sip of their wine. Joey sat back down and everybody began to eat. After dinner, Yami excused himself and went into one of the bathrooms and read aloud the spell chosen for Joey. As the blonde got up to also go use the restroom he got dizzy for a second and fell to his knees. "Joey, are you okay?" Seto said as he helped the blonde back up to his feet. "Yeah, I guess I just got a head rush." Yugi smiled as Yami came back to join the festivities.

Now, get Kaiba to seduce Joey.

Got it.

Don't make yourself obvious koi.

Don't worry I won't.

Yugi went over to where Joey was leaning against the deck railing. The blonde was watching as Seto played around with his little brother. "Hey Joey." Yugi said while smiling. "Hey Yug." Joey's normally happy voice had a hint of sadness. "What's wrong Joey?" The blonde sighed and looked at his friend, "He wants to have children so badly and I wish I could give him those children…but…"

"Joey, if you both mutually want something, I bet a miracle could be done, children are miracles to begin with." Yugi explained. "I wish it were that easy Yug, really I do." The tri hair colored teen sighed, "Well, I can't make you believe, all you have to do is follow what your heart says." Joey looked down at his friend and smiled.

It was about ten minutes after midnight when the last members of the gang had left the Kaiba Estate, leaving Joey to think about Yugi had said and Kaiba lying in the hammock, just…thinking. He was so wrapped up in his own thoughts he didn't even notice his puppy come up to him.

"Hey puppy." Seto said softly. Joey walked up to the brunette and held out his hand. Seto sat up and took it in his own. Joey gently pulled Seto to him and locked their lips in a passionate kiss. The shorter of the two pulled away panting. "It's been a while since I have seen you breathe like that puppy." All the brunette got was a seductive smile and a hint, "Well, now that we're all unpacked and rested, maybe we could get back to our old ways. I mean, we have yet to do it in this house." Joey flirted. Seto felt his stomach flip, "Good thing Mokuba went with Yami and Yugi, because I have a feeling this is going to get loud, now that our neighbors are a mile away." Seto said in a deep and smooth tone. Joey felt a familiar shiver crawl up his spine then took off across the yard and into the house, Seto quickly followed behind.

Seto had followed Joey up to the second floor and into their master bedroom. They stared at each other for a moment then Seto swept Joey into a kiss and before they even knew it, they were fully unclothed and on the bed.

Seto sat straddled on Joey's hips and watched, as the blonde looked him dead in the eyes. Seto leaned down and began to nip at the blonde's right ear and neck. Joey snaked his arms around Seto's neck and locked him in that position. The brunette gazed at the blonde beneath him then took his pup into a hot, wet kiss. Joey moaned as he felt Seto's tongue fight against his own.

(Okay, so I bet you know what goes here and why it's not here. For fear of being booted off the site I have removed the lemon, but like last time, if you want it leave me your e-mail address in your review and I shall send it to you ASAP!)

The exhausted brunette leaned down and gave his puppy one last kiss. They pulled away and Seto fell to his lover's side on the bed. He reached for the blue sheet then he pulled his puppy to his body. They snuggled together and fell into a satisfied sleep in the warm after glow of their lovemaking; little did they know what they had done or what Yugi and Yami had done for that matter. All I can say is that their lives are going to change forever; maybe that nursery will be put to good use after all.

Author's Note: This will have been the third chapter for this week I have written. I am so proud of myself and I hope you are all enjoying my story so far. I am sorry about the slow moving chapter but I had to have it in order for my story to go forward and for it to end the way I want it too, and possibly to set it up for a sequel. So please bear with me, I will try to make things a bit more interesting next chapter; but you have to agree, our characters deserved a break. Anyway, thanks for reading and don't forget to review, especially if you want the lemon! I will see you all next chapter!
