Run Away Puppy Chapter Nineteen: Our One-Year Anniversary Part TwoThe plane took off from the airport and the victims of Mollano's outbreak were on their way to stand trial against him, and backing them up was none other than Seto Kaiba's personal lawyer. This guy was well known for making grown men cry, hence why Seto made him a part of the Kaiba Corporations.
About an hour into the flight Joey yawned heavily and laid his head against Seto's firm shoulder. The brunette looked up from his laptop and smiled softly at the blonde next to him. They exchanged quick gazes then Seto went back to working on his computer. He couldn't put his finger on it but ever since the night they had conceived the child they had absolutely no idea about, Seto noticed an unearthly glow began to emerge in Joey's eyes and was being emitted out through the blonde's soul to linger about his body. Seto also noted that the blonde was becoming tenderer and more tolerant. The brunette didn't know the precise cause but thought that it could have been from the time they spent together. Love does change people and Seto knew that for sure, Joey had turned him around and flipped his whole world upside down and inside out. He loved the new change; it gave life a new flavor, one worth living for.
A couple seats back Yugi was also fast asleep on his lover's shoulder, only Yami could see and hear what his light was dreaming. Yugi dreamt of the new born Kaiba baby and how it called him 'Uncle Yugi', though Yami could not determine the baby's gender, he supposed that would just have to be a surprise, unless Joey wanted to know, if he ever figures out he's pregnant. He smiled and reminded himself of the time when his high priest Seth and his lover, a royal and powerful healer, Jono had their first baby.
It was a splendid day and the pharaoh couldn't have been anymore happier for his cousin and Jono. All night the healer had been put through a rigorously laborious childbirth, no one in the palace had gotten any sleep that night that goes for Seth ten times over. He had stood by his lover's side from the first contraction to the baby's first cry of life. Jono had bore Seth a beautiful baby boy, which they named Jouneth. The pharaoh remembered the look on his priest's face when he held his son for the first time. It was the only day that pharaoh Atemu had seen his cousin cry. Jono was grateful that their baby had finally come and was thankful to know that he would be getting back to his normal self in a short while, though he didn't mind carrying Seth's children. One year after Jouneth's birth, Seth and Jono were married and in time the blonde had bore the high priest two more boys, Seth would never have to worry about carrying on his blood line. Yugi's right, this child's birth is going to be exciting!
"What Yami?" Yugi asked pulling his head tiredly away from his lover's shoulder. Yami looked at his smaller half and shook his head, "Nothing koi, just thinking."
"Oh, what were you thinking of?" Yugi asked while rubbing his sleepy eyes. Yami didn't want to say, just in case his light got sad, but he couldn't lie. "I was just thinking about the day Jouneth was born."
"Jouneth?" Yugi asked confused. "Yes, Jouneth was the name of the baby Jono bore to Seth." Yami explained. A flash of longing passed Yugi's eyes then he smiled up at his Yami. "Well, that was a cute and original name." Yugi said happily. Yami tilted his head in wonder. "Their baby's name was a cross between Jono's and Seth's, very original." Yugi explained with his normal happy voice.
"Can you tell me about Jono and Seth, Yami?" Yugi asked while giving his larger half puppy eyes. Who was Yami to deny anything his lover asked? "I suppose, what do you wish to know?" Yugi cuddled into Yami the best he could and answered, "Everything, tell me the story of how they met, tell me about how they fell in love, then go on to tell me about the birth of Jouneth, and finish up with how Jono and Seth lived happily ever after." Yami felt a pin stick his heart, it was true that Jono and Seth had lived a happy life together but their ending was far from happy. Either way, Yami settled into his seat and began to tell the love story that is Seth and Jono.
"It was a fine summer's day in Egypt and I had ordered for a healer to come to the palace to stay and serve me and my people permanently. To my surprise I had gotten the most powerful healer of all, he was a once a prince but abdicated his place for the throne of Upper Egypt. Jono was brought to me in two days time of my order, just in time too, for my high priests had been attacked not a month after the healer's arrival. Seth had the worst damage and at first resisted any treatment…then he saw him, Jono, awaiting the wounded priests.
"So, it was like love at first sight?" Yugi asked happily. "Yes, I suppose you could say that. But if you and I know Seto and Joey, then we know Seth and Jono pretty well." Yugi giggled then listened to what the pharaoh was going to say next.
"High Priest Seth had always gotten what he had desired most in life, may it be the finest silk to the power he had inherited and Jono was no exception. Once Seth had a glimpse of the healer he was determined to make him his own, but Jono was not quite as pleased with the thought as the priest was. He fought Seth for a long time. Jono had been hurt before, both mentally and physically, to say the least, he wasn't quite ready to hand himself over to what he labeled Seth as a, 'power hungry' priest. The healer's resistance only proved that he felt the same for the priest…
"Why can't you be more trustworthy of the people that feed, clothe, and house you? Especially those who put their own lives in danger to save someone they love." Seth yelled to the young healer before him. Jono glared through the bangs of his sun burnt, golden hair. He wanted to love Seth, but…he didn't know how, his last relationship had been about sexual activities and the blonde broke it off before things went too far. "I didn't ask you to take the blade for me High Priest." Jono retorted back. Seth fell to the floor in pain due to the large slash in his chest, he began to breathe unsteadily and Jono went into action. He ripped open what was left of Seth's tunic; blood was beginning to stain the chest of the man Jono so dearly loved to stare at. Quickly the blonde grabbed some herbs and water from his table and began to work his power.
Jono poured the herb bits into the wound in the priest's chest then carefully poured water over the damaged area. With that all he needed to do now was say a spell. Jono placed his hands just above the wound then closed his eyes. As his chant progressed his hands had found a place on Seth's chest, resting carelessly on a woundless body. Jono opened his eyes to see the priest below him do the same. They gazed at each other intensely before Seth reached a hand behind Jono's neck and pulled him down into a heated kiss. The blonde melted into the action quickly, this was everything he had been dreaming of since they first laid eyes on each other, not more than a couple weeks ago. They mingled in their first kiss for what seemed to be forever until someone cleared their throat. Seth and Jono looked up to see Pharaoh Atemu and his personal companion Yunith. Jono quickly tore himself away from the brunette beneath him and bowed his head to his pharaoh.
"There is no need to bow your head Jono, you have just as much power as I do." Atemu said smoothly, "Though, I don't find you and Seth going to his chambers such a bad idea." The priest stood from the floor and smirked, not having satisfied his hunger for the blonde healer's lips, Seth pulled Jono to his body and they violently locked lips.
Yugi sighed then giggled, "How romantic…" Yami smiled then went back to his story. "They led quite the romantic relationship, Seth loved being able to make Jono's heart melt with intense desire and love. It was that same romance that conceived their first baby…"
Since being in Pharaoh Atemu's palace and seeing how much self-defense would be a powerful asset to know, Jono began to take lessons from one of Atemu's soldiers. The blonde healer had been working on his lessons late into the night and was practicing with his sword and dagger. Seth hadn't seen his lover all day and was beginning to worry, so he went out to find him. As Seth was passing the gardens he heard Jono's voice, the priest turned and saw his blonde healer. Seth stood for a long moment, admiring the healer's outfit; it was rather… arousing. Jono had on a short warrior skirt; the hem met his soft, strong thighs, he also wore a sleeveless burgundy half shirt that was connected to the golden chocker around his neck.
"You wouldn't wear such attire for me but you will for a soldier." Seth said teasingly while approaching the blonde. Jono quickly turned around to face his lover. The priest looked Jono up and down; admiring all the tan skin he was seeing. The blonde put his weapons down then began to teasingly strut his body as he moved away from the advancing figure. Jono then began to touch the exposed golden brace locked on his right thigh. Seth growled then captured his prey…
Jono was pulled through the door to the chamber he and the priest shared then dragged to the bed and pushed upon it. The healer scooted back so that his head met the pillows when the high priest pushed him down to the bed. Their lips met in a fiery passion and their bodies connected in an intense anticipation. Seth lifted his lips from Jono's, leaving the blonde breathless and begging for more. The priest removed the top half of his blue tunic then let his eyes drink the sight of his hot lover. "Seth…" Jono whispered. The brunette took his hands and rested them on the blonde's knees, which were on either side of his body. Then began to slowly push them up the healer's thighs, Jono moaned when he felt Seth's hands pass the golden braces on his thighs and up his skirt.
"Seth…" Jono said as his breath hitched. The brunette removed his hands and unlatched the golden collar about the healer's neck then pulled the half shirt off and threw it to some unknown corner in their chamber. "You are mine completely after tonight Jono, you are my first and my last, never leave me." Seth spoke softly. Jono caught his breath and smiled, "You need not worry Seth, you are also my first and my last, I could never leave you, not even for all the power in the universe. I love you Seth." Jono's words were exactly what the high priest needed to hear; they sealed their promises with a loving kiss then made what was left of the night completely about them. (Note: Atemu did not watch Jono and Seth)
"They are so perfect together, it's sad that it took so long for Seto and Joey to get together, Jono and Seth fell in love at first sight." Yugi said. "Yes, well all that matters now is that they are reunited once again and are going to have a family soon." Yami explained softly. The lovers looked each other in the eyes and smiled. "Anyway, speaking of family, do tell me about Jouneth." Yugi urged his lover. Yami laughed lightly then started again…
"Seth, this child of ours is killing me, my back hurts and I have no desire to get out of bed." Jono whined to his lover from the bed. Seth entered back into the room from the balcony and smiled. "Then don't get out of bed, besides, Atemu says it's better for you to rest before the baby comes in two days." Seth explained lovingly. The high priest sat on the bed next to his pregnant lover then rested a tender hand on the healer's small, but swollen belly. "I can't believe this is real." Seth said above a whisper. Jono touched the priest's hand and smiled.
Suddenly, their chamber door opened and a worried Atemu emerged. "Seth, Jono."
"Pharaoh." The couple said in unison. From behind the pharaoh came two servants and took up the baby cradle and the baby supplies. "Pharaoh, what is going on?" Seth said while he stood up to protest to the servants. Atemu held up a hand to silence Seth, "Come, get Jono and come to the hidden chamber, it is essential." Seth shook his head, "No, we won't go until we know what's going on. Jono and I had planned to have the baby in the bed it was conceived."
"Yes, I know my dear cousin but if he stays in here and not hidden, the life of the healer and your baby is certainly in grave danger." Atemu said sadly. "What do you mean?" Jono whimpered, frightened for the well being of his baby. "Seth, we have no time to loose, get Jono and get down to the hidden chamber, it's an order." Atemu said sternly before walking out of the room and presumably to the room he had specified.
"Seth, help me out of bed." Jono said while holding out his hand. Not really having a choice, Seth helped Jono and did as his pharaoh had ordered. They hurried in through the doorway and watched as the two servants shut and locked the door, which was disguised as a wall to the untrained eye. Jono crawled into the huge bed and sighed. Seth stood and looked at his cousin in the eyes. "What is going on Atemu?" Seth demanded more than asking. Atemu excused the tone, due to the stress and worry for his cousin's unborn child. He took in a deep breath and began to explain what was going on to the worried soon-to-be parents before him.
"The palace has been threatened by an enemy, who wants the very baby that Jono will birth in less than two days. Do you understand the power your child has cousin?" The pharaoh asked eyeing his high priest closely. "The baby will inherit the power of a priest." Seth answered. Atemu nodded, "Your child will inherit both the powers of a priest and a healer, it is expected that your baby will have the ability to kill and create life, along with the power to summon the monsters from the sacred slabs and heal those whom are wounded. The being growing within Jono will be the first of its kind; it is the most powerful being in all of Egypt, maybe even all the world. This unborn child is being hunted…hunted by those who want to use its power for evil and those who want it destroyed."
"DESTROYED?" Jono yelled helplessly while clutching his stomach, Atemu watched as the healer's eyes flashed a soft red. Seth stood his ground firmly and controlled his anger by clenching his fists until his knuckles were white, "Our baby will not be harmed, and those who dare defy my wishes shall pay with blood." Seth promised while his eyes glowed and unearthly blue. Atemu knew that the spirits of his cousin and Jono had been connected to the sacred dragons, which made this baby situation that much more dangerous. The movement in the room stilled when a breathless messenger came through a hidden entrance.
"My Pharaoh…our…defen…ses…were broken, the enemy is running through the palace looking for Jono."
"NO!" Atemu growled in his throat. Jono broke down into tears and Seth did his best to comfort the healer. "Round up more soldiers and summon the five priests to defend the unborn child." The pharaoh ordered the messenger; he nodded and bowed, then went the way he came.
"Don't worry Jono, your baby will be safe." Atemu tried to comfort his cousin's lover but to no avail. The pharaoh began to walk toward the hidden passageway when Seth stopped him, "Where are you going?"
"To help protect my family and my people, Slifer should prove protective enough." With that, Atemu vanished through the passageway. Seth looked back to his lover and tired to still his trembling body. The couple listened as enemies shuffled passed their presence. Jono stood up from the bed and walked over to the disguised door and listened, to his horror he heard a child being chased, probably mistaken for their unborn child. "NO!" Jono yelled while hearing the child being killed ruthlessly. Seth shot up from the bed and over to his blonde lover. "Jono, what's wrong?"
"A child…was…was just murdered." The healer sobbed. "These bandits really do want to destroy our baby and…" Jono's voice faded and his body stilled against Seth's. "Jono, are you alright?" Seth asked a bit panicky. "JONO!" The blonde looked up to his lover then cried out in pain. "Jono, what is it?"
"It's…it's…the baby."
"What? But…it's not supposed to arrive for another day or two."
"Well, the baby don't care, it's coming now and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jono yelled in pain. Seth got the healer back to the bed, "No, no, no, no! Not here, not now." Seth brushed Jono's forehead with his hand, "We can't do this alone, we're not ready."
"Seth, you forget that I'm a healer."
"You may have healed the mother but you have never been the mother in delivery." Seth stated before Jono let out another bone curdling scream. Just then, to Seth's relief, Atemu came in with an experienced healer with delivering babies.
"How did you know?" Seth asked happily. Atemu smiled, "Jono has a very defined voice to those who know him." Seth was stunned and watched as his cousin gave orders to the healer and greeted a few more that came in with hot water, different fabrics, and milk. Seth then knew that this was real, this baby was going to come whether he liked it or not. "Don't have the baby without me Jono!" Yunith cried while entering the room and ran over to Atemu's side.
Seth stood attentively at Jono's side and gripped his lover's right hand lovingly. Atemu's healers had prepped the blonde as well as they could in such a situation and began to get Jono on his way to delivering a healthy baby. It was so exciting, High Priest Seth and Healer Jono were to be parents in a matter of minutes, it was the most anticipated birth in Atemu's entire kingdom. The pharaoh and Yunith watched as Jono gripped Seth's hand and participated in his first push.
Seth had never seen any human being before Jono go through so much pressure and work. The blonde had been reduced to screaming with his hoarse voice and whimpering with unexplainable pain. Seth just hoped that after this whole episode, that maybe Jono would consider more children.
"Jono, breathe, you need to breathe." The healer at the blonde's feet coached. He was breathing, no doubt because he had enough air to scream like he was. "Pup, slow down and breath in before you push, pace yourself. You're fighting your contractions and not delivering the baby." Jono was listening, sort of, and tired to do as best he could of what Seth told him. Atemu and Yunith watched in wonder as the blonde struggled with his birth and hoped everything would be okay.
Jono cried Seth's name helplessly a few more times before the healer at Jono's feet called for one more push. The sweaty and exhausted blonde obliged then heard something that made all his pain worthwhile, his baby's first cry. Jono fell back against the pillows and Seth looked on as the healers cut the child from the blonde and cleaned it with the now warm water and the fabrics they had brought with them, all the while the new born cried, letting it's parents know it was healthy. The main healer wrapped the child in it's baby blanket and handed it to Jono, "Congratulations High Priest and Healer, you have a healthy baby boy."
Jono cradled his son closely against his chest and Seth amazed at the screaming child in his lover's arms. This was really real, they were parents and their baby was actually here. Seth rested his head on Jono's shoulder, "He's beautiful."
The baby had been reduced to a slight whimpering and finally looked at his parents above. "Hi little one, welcome to the world." Jono said to his son. Seth felt his heart warm and reached out to caress his son's face. Jono and Seth gazed at each other then exchanged a loving kiss. "I'm so proud of you Jono, you did such a good job." Seth said before placing a kiss on the blonde's forehead. The healer that had delivered Jono's baby handed the new parent a glass bottle of milk and the blonde began to feed his child for the first time. The new parents just relaxed into the silence that had overcome the palace, they listened as their newborn son made the sweetest of suckling noises on his bottle. Seth had reached down to the baby in Jono's arms and held one of his tiny hands with such care. Jono looked up to smile at Seth but saw his lover crying. The priest averted his eyes to the blonde's and they exchanged another kiss.
"What are you going to name him?" Yunith asked happily. Jono looked down at his feeding, blue-eyed, blonde haired son and thought a moment before speaking, "Jouneth." The blonde answered.
"It was indeed an exciting day, the most memorable day until my own child was born." Yami explained. Yugi shot up from his lover's shoulder and looked him in the eyes, "You had a baby?" The pharaoh nodded and smiled, "I didn't give birth to it, my lover Yunith did, and now that I think about it, you look exactly like him." Yugi felt his face light up with a cute pink blush, "You mean…you and I…and we…?" Yami nodded and smiled lovingly. Yugi felt tears come to his eyes then a bright smile grew across his face. "Shall I continue with the rest of the story?" Yami asked while smiling at his light. The teen nodded his head and curled up next to Yami again.
"Well, about a year after Jouneth was born, Seth threw a big birthday party for his son and that very same night, he asked Jono to marry him. It was a night full happiness and love. Seth and Jono wanted to get married as soon as possible so, about a month later I gave my blessings and arranged their marriage. They were so happily in love, so carefree and their relationship was just so magical and…it only got better. Two moths after the priest and healer were married, Jono found out he was pregnant again and that next spring, their second baby boy was born, right after Yunith had his twins. It was heaven on earth for Seth and Jono and it seemed like things could only get better, and they did. Four years after their second baby, Jono had their third baby boy. Things had quieted down after that, nobody was having babies or getting married, parents were raising their children."
"I can see that this story is going to have a very happy ending." Yugi said excitedly. "Don't be so sure koi, you forget that Jouneth was born a very powerful being and the same is said for the other two boys. Jono and Seth had just celebrated their third baby's second birthday and the whole of my kingdom was celebrating, so to say the least, we had our guard down, our old enemies from Jouneth's birth launched a surprise attack, killing and slaying thousands, just to get close to the most powerful beings in my palace."
"JONO!" Seth cried through the hysterical crowd followed by Jouneth. Finally, they ran into the healer with their youngest children. "SETH!" The blonde said while throwing himself into the priest's arms. "Thank Ra you're okay, listen Jono, I need you to hear what I say, take the children and run, get out of here, it's no longer safe!"
"No, I promised you I would never leave you, don's you remember?"
"Yes, but we have children now, this is about them and their safety."
"NO!"
"The battle began to worsen, innocent people were dying and Seth and Jono were being hunted. It was horrible, what I saw, Jono and his youngest son were shot down, they died instantly. Seth was crushed, he was never the same again, especially since Jouneth was the only child that survived." Yami had suddenly found the floor interesting; the sad memory was one he really didn't want to remember. Finally the sound of his koi crying brought him out of his trance.
"Koi, are you alright?" Yami asked while touching his lover's face. "Poor Jono!" Yugi choked before falling into Yami's body. "Ssssh…it's okay my light." Yami really regretted telling Yugi the truth this time…but that is how the love story that is Seth and Jono goes, in real life, no one ever really lives happily ever after…Yami just hoped he was wrong.
"Hey, what's wrong with Yug?" Joey asked with a concerned look in his eyes. The small and upset teen lifted his head then gazed at Joey intensely. Yugi felt his eyes well up with tears again, "POOR JONO! It just wasn't fair Yami!" Joey went to comfort his best friend but was stopped due to the conditions, "I've got this handled Joey, Yugi will be fine. I just told him a love story that went…sad." Yami explained with a soft smile. Joey nodded in understanding. "Well, it has gotten quite late and I would suggest that we all get some rest, we have a long two days ahead of us." Seto said before taking Joey and disappearing into the plane's private bedroom.
"Kaiba's right Yugi lets get some rest." Yami said while lifting his light's face and wiping stray tears from the boy's face. Yugi nodded then smiled when Yami kissed the tip of his nose softly. With Kaiba in mind, you know that his plane had to have come with extra stuff, and it did, pull out beds, just enough for everyone (one for Tea and Tristan to share, one fore Yugi and Yami, and one for Solomon).
The rest of the flight had gone smoothly and not a lot happened, though Joey's morning schedule didn't go quite as expected, he did wake up and need to throw up but he did so a few more times afterward. He blamed it on the long flight. It wasn't until almost 9:00 pm that evening before they landed at the New York airport.
"So, what are we gonna do guys?" Yugi asked excitedly. Joey leaned against Seto and moaned, "Seto, I don't feel so great." The brunette nodded, "You guys figure out what to do with your night, I'm gonna take Joey to the hotel and get him into bed."
"Oh okay, I hope you feel better Joey." Yugi said. "Thanks pal." The blonde said before being pulled away by his lover. "Come on guys, it's late, lets just go to the hotel and order some food." Tristan said while yawning. The group nodded and went to catch a cab.
Seeing as thought that this was their anniversary, Seto had reserved the most fancy honeymoon suite at a very exclusive hotel. The room had to at least be the size of the first floor of their home back in Domino. Mokuba's mouth fell agape and he ran into one of the rooms to do what he always wanted to do, jump on an expensive bed, Seto would let him jump on the bed in the room he and Joey shared. Seto shook his head then helped Joey to the master bedroom. He laid the blonde down on the bed then sat next to him.
"How are you feeling now?" Seto asked while stroking his puppy's hair. The blonde snuggled into the pillow, "Better." The brunette smiled then kissed his forehead. "Are you hungry?"
"Yep." Joey answered. "Well, what do you want to eat then?" The blonde made a gesture like he was thinking hard then spoke, "Pizza!" The honey-eyed boy wrapped his arms around his lover and gave him puppy eyes. "Alright, down boy! Pizza it is then." Joey smiled then kissed the brunette. Seto deepened the kiss then laid the blonde down to the bed. Joey broke away for air and gazed up at his boyfriend, "Pizza please?" The blonde asked before liking Seto's cheek then making a playful 'woof'. The young CEO smiled, "Good boy." Seto said wile patting his puppy's head.
After enjoying their New York style pizza, Seto and Joey called it a night, they would have to get up early tomorrow for the trial against Mollano.
His stomach lurched and flipped and once again Joey made a mad dash to the bathroom. After doing his business, Joey flushed the toilet then nearly had a heart attack when a surprised yelp came and a very nude Seto Kaiba jumped from the shower. Joey smiled weakly but wasn't in the mood to laugh. "Sorry Seto." The blonde said before falling back against the wall and sliding down to the floor. Seto then picked his puppy up and began to undress him. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."
After their shower, Seto and Joey dressed in their best and left to testify. When they arrived at the courthouse a massive crowd of reporters and news stations had already congregated together. Seto, Mokuba, and Joey hopped out of their escort vehicle and made their way through the ungodly swarm of people and inside. They were met by Seto's lawyer and Joey's friends. The lawyer led the group into the room they would be in for the day; they were seated in the front row of the courtroom. Joey and Seto looked at each other, both hoping this would be the last of Mollano they saw. Seto gave his lover a quick peck on the cheek and smiled. They watched as the room began to fill up with family and previous victims, along with the jury and the judge. Joey felt his stomach turn slightly; it was going to be a long day.
"YES! YES! YES!" Joey yelled while running out the front of the courthouse. Seto caught up to his puppy and watched as the blonde punched the air in happiness. Joey then spotted his brunette lover and ran over to him. Seto caught his hyper puppy in his arms and brought their lips into an intense and passionate kiss. "Alright you two get a room." Tristan said playfully. The couple pulled away and gazed at each other. Everything was starting to feel normal again and Joey was excited that he would be able to live a happy life with the love of his life.
"Are you satisfied pup?" Seto asked. "Completely, they got the death penalty. Seto, we're gonna be able to do anything we want without having to live in fear, and…" Joey eyes softened, "We can even have that family we so badly want." The brunette kissed Joey once more, just to shut him up before he got anymore excited. They pulled away and turned to their friends, "Come on guys, let's go get something to eat and celebrate!" Joey said.
"May I join you?" A woman's voice asked. They all turned to Vanessa standing behind them. Seto nodded, "Of course." The gang went out to eat at the Hard Rock Café.
"Wow, this restaurant is cool!" Yugi said excitedly. The group was seated and Yugi was still observing the restaurant wildly, taking everything in, he wondered if Domino had one.
"Thank you all so much for coming you guys." Vanessa said. Before anyone could say anything, the waiter came and took their drink and appetizer order. "It wasn't a problem, it was in the best interest of all of us and our safety." Yugi said while smiling brightly. Vanessa then glanced over to Joey and smiled, "You have grown up so much." The blonde smiled weakly, "Uhhh…do I know you?" Vanessa sighed, "I figured you wouldn't remember me. I was Mollano's wife and when your father worked for him you used to come to work with your Dad. I was your babysitter on a regular basis you were just so adorable. Now, the reason why your father fled to Japan was because we had an affair, I got pregnant and your father got scared. He took some money that Mollano had robbed from a bank and relocated you and your family to Japan. I had my baby and Mollano thought Nick belonged to him." Joey and his friends all sat with their mouths agape and almost to the floor.
"Well…it all makes sense now but I couldn't be more happy with my father's idiocy." Joey said while looking up to Seto. Vanessa smiled, "What is Japan like?"
"It's a wonderful place to live." Yugi said. "Why are you so interested?" Seto asked while raising an eyebrow. "I was thinking about moving there and stating a new life."
"Oh Seto, can she stay with us until she finds a place of her own?" Joey asked while giving the brunette his best pair of puppy eyes. Seto sighed, how could he say no to those eyes? "Of course she can, we have more than enough room." Joey threw himself at Seto, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Alright, you're welcome, down puppy." Joey leaned up to Seto's ear and everybody watched as the young CEO shuddered in delight. "Well…in that case, lets leave now." Yugi giggled and the blonde shook his head.
The group had finished dinner and decided it was time to get back to their hotels and get some well-deserved rest. After Joey spoke silently to Seto, Mokuba decided he wanted to hang out with Yugi for the night.
12:56 am
Seto clasped his lips to Joey's one more time before resting his body against the one beneath him. The brunette nestled his head beneath Joey's chin and the blonde wrapped his arms around his lover's back. It had been a while since he and Joey had made love, ever since they conceived the child they had absolutely no idea about, Joey hadn't been in the mood.
"So, what are we going to do tomorrow puppy?" Seto asked softly. "Dunno, we'll probably just hang out with the guys until they leave for home." Joey answered. "Hmm…" Was the last thing Seto murmured before falling into a deep and peaceful sleep, the puppy followed suit.
Author's Note: I apologize for not writing a trial scene but I don't know exactly how to write on of those things…so I would rather not write it than write it and sound like a complete idiot, besides, I think everybody wants to know more about the unknown and unborn Kaiba baby. I know I do! Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I hope you'll all be back for the final chapter! Yes, I just said the final chapter, it has come. Thank you all for reading and I should get to bed because I have school tomorrow! Oh…and remember my new penname will be Faith Hunter Jounouchi!
