To the Reviewers:
Okashira Kitsune-dono I have to write fast or else people like you would kill me. Yup the same ol' loveable mutt...twitch I don't really like Joey actually... yeah that's where he was... Oh Horus, that sounds like a threat.
Gohan Hugger WHOO!!! Another one!!! Much love!!! Though I have to say, don't hold your breath the happy moments don't last long.
Frosty Vermilion Petals I'm glad you like it. I was being fasescious (my mother's word; fancy talk for sarcastic) because you were asking about my psychologist and then you said that you didn't know anymore about psychology than I did and then I was asking you how you could give me psychology if you had a lot of patients who had lost the marbles they never had and...ok totally lost it... why do I think that didn't make any sense? Any way I update so fast because I write on a yellow notepad that I write on during school. Then I come home and type it up.
optimistic girl94 Yup a kiddie for Joey. Some alibi.
Setos-grl-4ever I'm glad you liked it. GAH!! You had to remind me...I hated killing Seto I really did (he is my favorite character from the show). But considering it was the main point in my plot (aside from Mokuba) it had to be done. sobs happy kid down the drain... as well as the fluff in this piece.
KatrinaKaiba I tried to make it interesting. Glad you liked it. Tell me what you think about the next chapter, k? Awesome name by the way.
inuyasha-101-catzrule Don't worry, I'll keep it goin'!
Seto'swhiterose88 Yup Joey's a daddy!!! Mai gets really well...Mai-ish in the next chapter. Here's your update!!! Loved your last chapter by the way!!! Goes to review because she's been too lazy to do it before lol
dawn snickers yup that was his alibi.
A/N:
So glad you all loved my random moment of fluffiness... well get ready cause it's about to go down the drain...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Joey stared at her. "W-what?" he stuttered. "She...she's mine? Ours?" Mai smiled and nodded. "A kid..." Joey said absently, running a hand through his hair and looking vaguely into the middle of nowhere. "I have a kid."
He suddenly broke into laughter and he began to twirl Mai around again until she began to squeal.
"Joey! Put me down!"
"Well isn't this sweet?" Mokuba' voice carried over to them. He looked at them coldly as they turned. "Stop before you make someone sick."
Joey turned to him. "Ya know what, Kaiba? Shut it." He shook his head as he turned. "He's worse than his brother was."
Mokuba bristled. "You didn't even know my brother," he hissed.
Joey shrugged. "I know how he acted, and it wasn't nice. He had everything he could ever want and it wasn't good enough for him. And you're worse than him 'cause you don't even have what you want."
"I lost the only person who ever really cared about me because of you, Wheeler. I had to run a company all by myself. You don't know what your talking about because you always had family, always had someone who cared about you. When Seto was killed I was all alone."
"You didn't have to be, but you took after your brother and pushed away people willing to care for you in his stead."
Mokuba scoffed. "Yeah right. I don't need anyone."
"But someone might have needed you."
People slowly began to file back into the courtroom. Mokuba and Joey stared at each other with increasing dislike. 'Well, I understand why Seto couldn't stand the him.'
Flashback
"Kaiba! Open this door!" Angry fists pounded the door to Seto's office.
The door flew open and an angry looking Seto stood there. "I don't have time to play with you, Mutt. Go away."
"I ain't here to play, Kaiba," Joey's voice rose through the hallways. "Why were you botherin' my sista?"
"What? Did the bitch go home and cry to her half-breed brother?"
Joey's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Take it back, Kaiba."
Seto laughed. "I don't think so, Mutt." He said. "If you knew the proper definition of the word, I think you would find it quite well fitting." He pulled an electric dictionary from his coat and threw it to Joey. "Look it up."
Joey snatched at the dictionary. "Fine. I will." He began pressing the buttons. After several minutes, his eyes grew wide. "You bastard. Take it back!"
Seto chuckled. "I told you it fit. Especially with the way Dice Boy and Monkey Man pant after her, I'd be surprised if it wasn't true."
Joey snapped. He launched himself at Seto, punching every inch he could reach. It wasn't long before Seto fought back, however, and Joey was panting on the floor, clutching his stomach.
A small trickle of blood slowly ran down Seto's chin from the corner of his mouth. "Get the hell out of my house, Wheeler!" he yelled, drawing his sleeve over his chin.
Joey stood up. "I'll leave, Kaiba, but if ya mess with Serenity again, I'll give ya the beating of your life." He slowly limped out of the room.
Seto waited until he heard the front door slam shut, then he yelled for his brother. "Mokuba!" His voice echoed angrily through the hall.
When Mokuba came
downstairs, he found Seto in his office. "Hey, Bro, what's up?"
he asked. Then he looked at his brother and gasped. "Seto! What
happened?"
Seto looked at his brother coldly. "Who let
Wheeler in the house?" he asked.
Mokuba looked confused. "He wanted to talk to you, Seto."
"So you let him in." Seto's voice was becoming a dangerous whisper.
"Uh, yeah I did."
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, KID?" Seto suddenly exploded.
Mokuba's face hardened. "I don't know, Seto, what's wrong with me?" He shook slightly, suppressing his own fury.
"IT WAS A DAMN STUPID THING TO DO, TO BEGIN WITH..."
Mokuba tuned him out, but still every 'what are you? Stupid or something?' drifted slowly through his mind, building in his troubled soul, his weighted heart.
Mokuba's fists clenched by his side, his nails digging into his flesh. 'God I wish he's shut up.' Mokuba thought.
Seto's angry voice broke through his thoughts. "Mokuba, are you even listening?"
Mokuba looked him evenly in the eye. "I don't know, Seto, I'm probably too stupid to comprehend."
"You are not stupid. I don't ever want to hear you say that again."
"You're right, you say it enough for the both of us."
"What the hell are you talking about? I never—"
"Yes you have. You do all the time. I'm stupid because I let Joey in the house. But do you ever ask yourself why Joey was here in the first place? Because you wouldn't leave his sister alone. So its my fault?" Mokuba's voice was rising, growing more confident. Everything, every word, every thought, that he had been dying to say came pouring out. Seto looked dumbfounded. "But it's always my fault. You do something wrong, you blame me for it. You don't get something done, you blame me for it. When was the last time you talked to me, Seto? Do you even know that you pay two hundred and fifty dollars a month for a psychologist for me? Do you even know how old I am?"
"Thirteen." Seto answered.
"I'm twelve, Seto, and you're too busy being a heartless bastard to the world that you've all but remembered that you have a little brother. You wouldn't even notice if I flung myself out a window and--"
"Mokuba, that's enough." Seto had had his fill. "Go to your room."
"See! You didn't even listen! I hate you, Seto, I hate you!" He ran from the room.
End Flashback
Mokuba slowly returned to his seat. His mind was racing with the memory that had just flashed through his mind. He didn't listen to any of the next testimonies, not even the one he himself gave.
'What did I do?' he asked himself. 'I- I didn't remember yelling at Seto... ever. I hardly remembered Joey coming to the house.' It just didn't make any sense to him. The only fight he had ever had with his brother. And Mokuba never even got to apologize for it. A feeling of guilt and emptiness erupted in his chest.
"I call Mai Valentine to the stand." Yugi's voice broke through his thoughts.
The testimony to make or break the case was about to begin...
A/N:
OK MAJOR PLOT TWIST!!! Start telling me what you think happened
I wondered to myself how I could go from such a happy fluffiness to a horrible angsty part. sighs it gets worse trust me, much worse.
Now I am sorry to leave you with another cliffy kinda thing... I have been really busy and haven't had much time to write. (I had a big Choir thing for two days and yesterday the damned thing wouldn't let me post this chapter.)
