Author's Note: Every chapter that I write brings us closer and closer to the anticipated end of 'Run Away Puppy'. I am actually quite sad in this fact but all things come to an end, even good things. I hope you all enjoy how it ends and I hope you enjoy these next couple chapters. I will warn you, this is another slow moving chapter but it needed to be done to set up the next couple of chapters, hopefully you can expect to see a new chapter sometime on Monday. I hope you all enjoy it! Thanks for reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own 'The Incredibles' Disney and Pixar do. I also do not own SpongeBob Squarepants Stephen Hillenburg does. I know you all know that I also do not own 'Resident Evil' but I just want to make sure I say it, Capcom has full rights to the game, I just play it. I do not own 'The Alamo' Warner brothers does.
Flame Swordswoman: Thank you for correcting my error in the house size, it was like really late night when I was writing that one but I couldn't help myself. Yeah, the house really is a gorgeous one, I'm not for drawing houses and buildings but I am seriously thinking about drawing it. I just can't believe I thought that all up as I went along. I am glad you liked this last chapter I hope this one can be just as good, I think I have a few more tricks left in my colorful bowl of milk. The sad thing about this story though, is that I think I am almost done. I'm not sure, we shall see. Yep, I love Napoleon Dynamite! One of the funniest movies I have ever seen, my stepbrother knows all the words, hence the idea for Mokuba reciting all the lines. I have never played Final Fantasy 8; I shall take your advice and play it one of these days. The only thing I hate about FF 7 is the fact that Sephiroth is an ass to defeat, but I can take him out in about ten minutes on Kingdom Hearts on EXPERT mode. Anyway, thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
Miru Amai: Yeah it was sweet of Yami and Yugi to help Joey and Seto out like that. I am glad to know that you would not harm any author, but you were looking pretty scary with Paine's sword at your disposal. I am honored to know that you trust my weird twists and turns, just to warn you there is one of those left in this story. I won't reveal to you when it will pop up, you'll know when you read one of the future chapters. I too am proud of me for updating so much, but all that had gotten us is closer to the end of this story, really, really, really, really close to the end, sad really. Hopefully you will love how it ends and the first chapter of 'Meteora'. Thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
desiivy1: When it rains it pours! Wow! I feel special! Lets just call this little boom of chapters 'Spring Break'. I have just had so much free time that I didn't know what to do with myself, so I figured I would try and finish up my story as much as I could before school started again. An eerie feeling? Too bad I didn't make the house haunted, I mean what kind of a person would sell a wonderful house like that without a reason? Oh well, it'll benefit Seto and Joey in the long run. Yeah, I have seen Carrie, that movie gave me goose bumps when I watched it for the first time. I love the Mpreg too, it's just so cute too see Seto running around the backyard chasing after a little boy that has his eyes and Joey's mop of hair and it's even sweeter when Joey walks into a room to see their baby passed out on a sleeping Seto's chest. So cute! I am always the sucker for the story when Joey is pregnant, I have read the occasional story where Seto gets pregnant but I just don't see our famous CEO being pregnant…I don't know, whatever floats your boat I guess. But I adore pregnant Joey stories. Don't worry about reviewing every chapter I know you're there and supporting my story. Well thank you, I am glad to know that you have enjoyed this story to its fullest. Thank you so much for reading and until next chapter!
Bam-Girl-Gravi666: I am thrilled that you enjoyed the last chapter! I feel accomplished! Whoo-hooo! Oh yea. Anyway, I hope you recieved the lemon and enjoyed it! Well, thanks for reading andI shall see you next chapter!
Puffin: YAY! YOU UPDATED! YOU UPDATED! You have no idea how happy I was to see that you had updated! OOOh, I hope Joey and Seto have a happy ending! It would be terrible for Joey or Seto to die at the alter! TERRIBLE I TELL YOU! Anyway, nice job, I can't wait for more! Update when you can! I am happy to know you enjoyed last chapter. I liked how they got pregnant as well. I wanted to go for a semi-natural conception, instead of the idea of having Kaiba find a doctor to do all the scientifically engineering stuff because 1) I don't care so much for science, I maintain a C average in that class, and 2) I wouldn't know what I would be talking about. In other words I like using magic to solve all my problems. Now, if I could just slip my wand into math class I would be set. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck with your future chapters, can't wait to read them! See ya next chapter!
Yugi-is-my-one-and-only: Then it's settled, Seto shall say git 'r' done in the story. I don't know which chapter he'll say it in but he'll say it nonetheless, rest assured. I loved Napoleon Dynamite! It was just so funny! My favorite part was when Napoleon was dancing for Pedro's skit. Oh and Summer, is a ditz, I didn't care for her much. I would agree with the Yugi wanting a baby while Joey is pregnant, I can already see how he would approach Yami with it. So much for duel monsters hu? I will take your suggestion into consideration and I thank you for it. Thanks for reading and I will see ya next chapter! Enjoy!
RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: I'm tricky? Hu...I didn't even know it. I guess that is a goodquality to have. Well, I am glad to here you will stick with this story no matter what it throws at you, what a trooper! I feel so special.Anyway, thanks for reading andI shall see you next chapter!
kenshinfan21: I hope you recived the lemon and enjoyed it. Anyway, thanks for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
Starlight,starbright,stargirl: Glad to hear you enjoyed the last couple of chapters. You are not the only one excited for the baby, can you just image what Joey and Seto are going to be like when they find out that their expecting. Seto is going to be the happiest man alive. Yeah, there are a bunch of stories where Joey has twins but…I think I am just going to stick with one little Kaiba for the time being. Anyway, thanks for reading and I shall ya next chapter!
Milharu: I am glad you have enjoyed this story it's fullest! I hope you will enjoy how the rest of it comes out. I am glad you are still with this story. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the future chapters, there aren't many left. See ya next chapter!
astalder27: I hope you got the lemon and enjoyed it. I hope you like this new chapter and I shall see you next chapter! Thanks for reading!
To Anybody I forgot: Thanks for reading and enjoy this new chapter!
Yugi: There was this time that this airline lost my luggage, so I went down to the lost luggage department where everybody is just so 'happy' and I looked at the lady and said, " Excuse me, you lost my luggage." I swear, she looked at me and said, "Has your plane landed yet?" I said, "No princess, I'm just havin' an out of body experience just checkin' up on it." Here's your sign.
Bakura: My son, Tater Tot, was going down to visit his grandma one year for the summer and the lady I bought the ticket from looks at me and said, "Is there gonna be someone at the airport to pick him up?" I looked at the lady and said, " Nope I'm gonna pin a 20 dollar bill to his collar and wish him the best of luck." Here's your sign.

Run Away PuppyChapter Eighteen: Our One-Year Anniversary Part One
True it was that Seto and Joey always found away to tire each other out so that they slept soundly into the late morning, and it was not a different story for this late morning. The couple, exhausted from the previous night's lovemaking, slept soundly in the comfort and safety of each other's arms. Seto slept comfortably on his back letting his golden puppy curl up to his body and let the blonde rest his head on his steady chest. Seto had wrapped his left arm around Joey's back and the blonde, in return laid his right arm across Seto's chest. The rays of the morning sun glittered and glowed, they even began to dance softly on the sleeping blonde's golden hair and tender skin. The blonde shifted in his sleep a little and a single out of place strand of hair tickled the brunette's chin.
Seto's tired blue eyes drifted open and blurrily took in his surroundings, he wasn't quite ready to get up yet and he felt dedicated to lying naked in bed all day under silk sheets with an equally naked puppy. Seto yawned heavily then looked over at the alarm clock on the night stand to his left, it was going to be a 11:30 and he could have cared less but didn't have the energy. The blonde on his chest shifted again and he decided he would slowly stroke his puppy's soft face; it was only then when Seto realized that Joey felt a bit warmer than usual. A smirk found it's way to Seto's lips and to himself he said: 'Hmmm…must have sexed the puppy up good last night.' Though taken by the thought of being a sex god to his puppy, he was quickly drawn out of his world when he felt Joey shift a bit more jerkily then watched as beautiful soft brown was unmasked. The blonde quickly sat up and looked to his lover, his face had gone a bit pale. "Joey…pup, is something wrong?" The blonde felt his stomach flip and twist; he looked to Seto one more time before he jumped out bed and bolted for the bathroom directly in front of their bed. The door swung shut and all Seto could hear was his puppy shuffling around. "Joey?" All the brunette got for an answer was hearing Joey regurgitate anything and everything the blonde had consumed last night.
Seto got up and slipped into a pair of pajama pants, he had a feeling he was going to be at the blonde's beck and call all day long, not that he cared. Seto strode up to the bathroom door and knocked when he heard nothing but silence. "Puppy, are you okay?" The toilet flushed and Seto watched as a pale blonde exited. Seto helped his pup back into bed and into a pair of pajama pants as well, there was no reason to throw up naked when Mokuba came home. Seto sat at his lover's side and placed a hand against his forehead, he was a little warm but nothing to be too concerned about. Seto began to stroke the silky locks of Joey's head, "Are you gonna be okay?"
"For sure? I don't know." Joey said in a whispery voice. "What did you eat last night that would make you so sick?" The blonde shook his head, "It's not that, I don't feel like any food or liquid upset my stomach." Seto was confused, normally people didn't just throw up for no reason, well at least he didn't think so. "What do you mean puppy?" The brunette asked while stroking the blonde's pale cheek. "I don't know how to explain it…it just feels…like…my body is changing or something, I feel different…I guess you could say. It's hard to explain when I've never felt like this before." Seto leant down and kissed his lover's forehead, "Okay, do you want some soup or something?" Joey looked up at Seto and made puppy eyes, "Actually…can you bring me some juice and put on some SpongeBob? (1)" Seto chuckled and shook his head remembering that line's origin. Joey smiled weakly then nuzzled into the pillow his head was currently resting on. Seto brought the silk blue comforter over his puppy's body and tucked it gently beneath his chin. The blonde smiled and closed his eyes when he felt Seto's warm lips on his head. "Get some rest, I'm gonna run into town and grab Mokuba." Joey nodded and Seto went about changing into a pair of jeans, throwing a white t-shirt over his head, then pulling Joey's oversized black Crossfade (2) hoddie on, the blonde wasn't going to be using it anyway.
"Oh it was so great Seto! Me and Yugi were up all night playing Resident Evil!" Mokuba said while throwing himself into the brunette's mustang. "That's great Mokuba but don't you realize that you live out in the country in a mansion." Seto had obviously played the first Resident Evil. The boy beside him had gone quiet and he looked to see why, Mokuba had gone pale and a flash of fright crossed his eyes. Seto watched as the boy swallowed hard and spoke, "Can I sleep with you and Joey tonight?" Seto smirked, "I don't know Mokuba, you know how Joey and I get after midnight." The boy shivered, it was either that or let the zombies eat him in his sleep. "Can I at least sleep on your floor?" Seto laughed, "You can sleep with us if you absolutely need to, Joey doesn't feel well anyway, but why don't you try sleeping in your room first." Seto compromised with the boy. "Okay. What's wrong with Joey?"
"He woke up not feeling well this morning and has been throwing up." The CEO explained. "What made him sick?" The brunette shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, and he said he didn't either."
At about 2:45 Seto and Mokuba returned home. Seto went into the kitchen and watched as Mokuba ran up to his room. The brunette retrieved some apple juice from the fridge and poured a half glass for his puppy. With the glass of juice in hand, Seto went up to his bedroom to see how Joey was doing. He sat the glass on the nightstand then sat on the mattress next to his sleeping pup. "Joey…Joey wake up for a minute." The blonde let his eyes crack open to the sound of his lover's tender voice. "How are you feeling?" Seto asked while touching his forehead. "Yucky and sore." Joey answered. "I brought you some juice," Seto said while showing his lover the glass, "and I bought you this." Seto said while pulling an object from the hoddie pocket. Joey reached out and took the gift. The blonde chuckled, "I didn't think you would take me seriously." Seto smiled, "You said you wanted some juice and wanted to watch SpongeBob. So…I brought you some apple juice and bought you the SpongeBob Squarepants movie." Joey smiled, "I love you." Seto grinned and took the DVD from the blonde and opened it. He walked over to the TV and DVD player and flipped them on. Joey took his glass of juice and lay in bed waiting to watch his new movie.
"Hey! Is that 'MY' Crossfade hoddie?" Joey whined. Seto threw his lover a smirk. After setting up the movie the brunette crawled back into bed and laid on his stomach, he wrapped his arms around his pillow and closed his eyes, a little nap sounded good. Joey looked over at his lover and smiled softly, he just couldn't get over how innocent Seto looked when he slept, he looked as if he slept like a baby. Joey sighed at that thought, 'A baby, a little girl that resembled Seto would be awfully cute. I wish I could give you your deepest desires Seto, I would give anything just to have a family with you, even if it meant my life.' Joey was taken out of his thoughts as the Pirates on the movie found a treasure chest full of tickets for the SpongeBob Squarepants movie. He yawned then laid down into the bed and watched as much of the movie as he could before he drifted off into sleep.
A loud ringing noise is what brought Seto out of his nap, he quickly reached for the phone and answered it. "Hello?"
"Seto Kaiba?"
"Who may I ask is calling?"
"It's Vanessa Mol…Marks."
"Why are you calling?"
"To tell you that you and Joey need to come out to New York and testify against Mollano and his goons. The government will fly you out and set up a place for you to stay."
Seto wasn't feeling too hot for seeing Mollano and his bandits again, he and Joey had just started their new life, and they wanted to put those memories in the past. "When do we need to be out there?"
"In about two weeks."
"Two weeks? That isn't how I quite wanted to spend my anniversary with Joey."
"What do you mean?"
"Our one-year anniversary is in two weeks and I was going to take Joey to New York, so that he could see his home again."
"Oh…well…I…"
"But if that means that those creeps get locked away for good then we'll show up."
"Great, thank you so much Mr. Kaiba."
"No problem, see you soon."
"Bye."
Seto hung up the phone and exhaled sharply. His eyes wandered to the body lying on the bed next to him, the puppy was still asleep. He yawned again then lifted off the bed and went into the bathroom. The CEO exited the restroom then pulled Joey's hoddie off and tossed it to the foot of the bed. Seto then walked out of the room and went down stairs to find Mokuba intensely watching TV. "Watching anything good?"
"Hu?" Mokuba said while keeping his eyes glued to the screen before him. Seto entered the living room and checked out what his brother was watching. The boy was watching 'The Alamo' (which is a great movie I might add). "Mokuba, can I talk to you for a second in the kitchen?" Seto asked. The boy lifted off the couch and followed his brother into the kitchen. "What is it big bro?" Mokuba asked. "I just got a call, saying we have to go to New York in two weeks to testify against Mollano and his goons. Do you wanna go or do you wanna stay with Yami and Yugi?"
"Will it help the case if I go big brother?"
"The more that testify against Mollano the better, in fact, Yami, Yugi, Solomon, Tea, and Tristan may have to go."
"Then its settled big bro, we all go." Mokuba said in a proud voice. Seto nodded and the boy ran back into the living room to finish his movie. Seto looked at the clock on the microwave and found it to be 5:50 already. He sighed and made up his mind to make some dinner for himself, his brother, and Joey. He made the easiest thing he could think of, spaghetti. He even warmed up some soup just in case Joey's stomach couldn't handle the spaghetti. It only took a half hour for Seto finish cooking before he called for his brother to seat himself at the dining room table.
"Get yourself a plate but don't start eating okay." Seto said to his brother. The boy nodded and went to make him and his brother a plate; he didn't make Joey's because he didn't know if the blonde would be able to handle it.
Seto walked through the doorway to his bedroom to come upon the wide-awake blonde. "Hey pup." Seto said while seating himself on the bed. "Hi, whachya up to Seto?" Joey's voice had its usual bouncy tone. "Are you feeling better?" The blonde nodded then smiled at his lover. "Well, I have dinner ready if you want to join Mokuba and I." Joey yawned then reached for the hoddie Seto had discarded to the foot of the bed earlier. He slipped it on then crawled over to Seto and kissed his cheek. The brunette watched as the blonde stood up out of bed and stretched. "You look much better puppy." Seto said as he stood up and walked out of the room with his lover close behind.
"Hey Joey! You feeling better?" The boy asked. The blonde smiled at Mokuba and nodded. "Well what ya have? Do you think you can handle some of Seto's spaghetti?" The boy asked jumping out of his chair ready to fetch the blonde some food. "Uh…yeah I'll see if I can eat a bit of that." Seto went to go for the kitchen but Mokuba stopped him, "I'll get it big brother." Seto sat settled back into his chair and smiled at his puppy. "Why is Mokuba being so courteous?" Joey asked suspiciously. "I have a feeling he'll be joining us tonight." Seto said. Joey quirked an eyebrow as Mokuba came back to the table with a small bowl of food for him. "Thanks kiddo." Joey said while ruffling Mokuba's hair. The boy sat in his chair and began to eat. The family finished their dinner and just as Joey and Seto were trying to figure out what they should do Mokuba interrupted, "I bought a movie last night while I was with Yami and Yugi if you guys care to watch." The couple looked at each other and agreed that wasn't such a bad idea. They went into the basement, which had been turned into the family's movie room. Seto and Joey settled onto the sectional couch underneath a blanket and watched as Mokuba set up the movie. "What did you buy?" Seto asked. "The Incredibles." The boy answered while switching off the lights and settling onto what was available of the couch, which was enough for him.
A loud crack of thunder and a flash of lightning brought Mokuba from his deep sleep. He woke up to complete darkness and realized the power had gone out. The boy began to feel his heart beat quicken as his memories of Resident Evil came back to him. Another flash of lightning and the boy screamed, waking his brother and Joey. "Mokuba, what the…ooooof." His brother jumping in between him and the blonde on the couch cut off Seto. He could feel the boy's body tremble in fear and he just had to hold him close and comfort him, it would be good practice in the long run but Seto didn't know that. "Ssssh…Mokuba, it's okay, I got ya. Nothing is going to get you." The boy literally clung to his brother. "C…can we go upstairs to your guys' room." The brunette sighed, "Yeah, sure."
"Guess your prediction was right Seto." Joey said. "I know my brother, and when he plays games that make his imagination run wild, he's bound to come running into my room sooner or later." Mokuba said nothing in his defense because he knew it was true, and he didn't care how childish he looked sleeping in his brother's bed, he was only 10. He should still have full rights to his guardian's bed, well at least when it isn't being used for…'something.' The three of them left the basement and headed up to the second floor master bedroom. Joey and Mokuba climbed into bed and Seto changed into some nightclothes before getting into bed and assuring his brother he would be okay with them. Mokuba smiled then closed his eyes to try and get some sleep.
Two Weeks Later…
Mokuba had finally gotten over his night fright and a good thing too because Joey was waking up every other morning and getting sick, he just didn't understand it. He would throw up once or twice then feel like his old self again. Maybe it was because he was eating too much during the day? Whatever the reason, Joey knew that he didn't know it. After having his morning throw up the blonde exited the bathroom and found Seto checking over their luggage. "You feeling better pup?" Joey yawned then fell back onto the bed. "Yeah, I guess." Seto looked up, "Okay we have everything, did your friends say when they were going to the airport?"
"About 2:00. Seto, what am I going to do about my little problem on the plane?" The brunette gave Joey one of those 'ERR…DUH' looks. "Don't look at me like that Seto." Joey pouted. The brunette smiled, "You will get up from your seat and run like hell to the bathroom because I don't want my plane to smell like the contents of your stomach." Joey pouted again, Seto couldn't resist, he caught those pouty lips in a kiss and due to the freshly brushed teeth, they tasted like mint. They pulled away and Joey melted. "Come on lets take a shower." Seto said while holding out his hand. Joey let himself be pulled up and into the bathroom.
1:48 pm
Seto, Joey, Mokuba, along with the rest of the gang loaded into Seto's private plane and seated themselves for take off. Joey had been quiet the whole ride to the airport, and Seto was beginning to worry. After making sure they were both buckled in Seto spoke to his distracted puppy. "Joey, you okay?" The blonde shook his head. "What's wrong puppy?" Joey sighed and looked at his lover, "Why do we have to go to another trial? We just testified at my Dad's and he got 90 to life." Seto smiled softly at his puppy, "These guys need to be put behind bars for life or given the death penalty, so the more people that testify the more chance of success on our part," Joey smiled weakly, "But don't worry, this isn't just for trial it's for our anniversary too." Joey looked at his lover with wide eyes, "What?"
"Our one-year anniversary puppy, this is my gift to you. Mokuba and the others are gonna go home two days after the trial but you and I are staying for a week." Joey felt his face light up with happiness. "Awe Seto, that is so sweet of you." The blonde said while cupping Seto's face then kissing him. They pulled away and gazed at each other lovingly. "Happy anniversary puppy, I love you." Joey smiled, "I love you too Seto."
"Hey, what about Mokuba?" Joey asked. Seto shook his head and chuckled, "Yami and Yugi agreed to watch him. I have it all under control, no worries puppy. This trip is going to be all about you and me." Joey smiled then kissed his lover once more before leaning his head against Seto's shoulder.
Yugi? Something wrong koi?
Do they know yet Yami? Did it even work?
Can't you see the difference in Joey Yugi? He seems a bit calmer and has a mellow glow about him. He is definitely pregnant.
Are you sure?
Positive koi.
I can't wait until the baby comes, it'll be great!
It will be an exciting event; I know it was when Seth and Jono had their baby in the past.
Seth and Jono had a baby!
Yep, and it was feared because it was a powerful being, he had the powers of the priest and the touch of a healer.
…Sigh…
Yugi?
It's so romantic Yami, how Joey and Seto have been together in a past life and now they're lovers departed by death once reincarnated. It'll be great to have a baby around. …Sigh…
Yugi, is there something you want?
Hu? No, no, no, I just can't wait for this baby's arrival.
Yami gave his light a kiss on the cheek and smiled at him, he knew something was going on in that mind but Yugi wouldn't unblock it for him to see. Yami watched as his light turned his attention back out the window he sat by and daydreamed.
The SpongeBob and juice line came from Blue Collar Comedy TV; it's one of Jeff Foxworthy's best jokes.
Crossfade is my new favorite rock band (FYI for those who didn't know what Crossfade was).
Author's Note: Again, this chapter was slow, yes I know but I needed it in order to set up my next couple of chapters. Please don't be upset, hopefully I can fit something interesting in the next chapter. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I hope to see you all for the remaining chapters. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
