CHAPTER 11

A/N: sorry this took so long to update. I was kinda have a bit of writer's block about how to adjust the ending and whether it should end here or in the next chapter. Well it's next chapter! Sorry!

To the Reviewers:

AnimeLuverGurlz lol don't worry I won't tell. But you only have to wait one more chapter to find out who done it. (It was so beautiful over At the East Coast. I couldn't visit again though because my parents could never afford it! Lol And of course it's all or nothing.)

Setosbluedragon I know but I had to leave it off like that. I just had to.

"…Innocent." The courtroom erupted and the judge clapped his gavel. "You're free to go, Mr. Wheeler."

Joey jumped into the air and whooped loudly. "YES!!!" He pulled Yugi into a headlock hug. "Yugi!" he cried, with tears literally streaming down his face. "Thank you, Yugi!"

Yugi started coughing and gurgled out, in a muffled voice. "You're welcome, Joey…Now let go."

Joey quickly released him. Mai put her hands on his shoulders in a comforting way. Joey whipped around and pulling her close, he kissed her full on. She was shocked for a moment but then returned the passionate kiss.

The courtroom was slowly emptying. Jade had already packed up her things and grudgingly congratulated Yugi on a well-done case. Mokuba sat in his chair, anger fuming through him.

It wasn't possible. He was Mokuba Kaiba and he always got what he wanted. It was the things were. What they always had been. The Kaiba family got what they wanted.

Mokuba was still lost in angry thoughts when Joey and Yugi stepped in front of him.

"Mokuba," Joey said. Mokuba paid little attention. "Listen, I'm sorry 'bout what happened to your brother. But I think you need to give it up."

"Give what up?"

"His life. The way he talked, acted, dressed. That's not you, Mokuba. You never liked how your bother acted."

"How do you know?" Mokuba stood up and slammed his hands down on the desk. "What did you ever know?"

Joey looked at him sympathetically. He shook his head. "A lot more than you would think." Then he walked back to Mai and put his arms around her.

Jolee tugged on his pants and he stepped back and looked down at her. "Hey, kiddo," he said.

She looked at him curiously. Her brow was furrowed in childish concentration. "You…" she said, thinking aloud. "You… you're my Papa, aren't you?"

Joey and Mai looked at her with wide-eyed amazement. They looked at each other, than Mai knelt down by her.

"That's right, Honey," Mai chocked out, her eyes tearing again. "That's exactly who he is."

Mokuba looked disgustedly on the scene and quickly gathered his things.

"Mokuba!" Yugi yelled as he started out the door. He turned and glared at the spiky-haired lawyer.

"What?" he said as coldly as he could muster.

"Joey didn't kill your brother."

Mokuba scoffed. "So says them."

"Because they would see the truth. You, on the other hand, wouldn't."

"Spare me your wife's friendship speeches," Mokuba replied dryly.

Yugi continued as if he hadn't heard anything. "You wouldn't see the truth. But you had to have someone to blame. If you ask me he probably killed himself."

Mokuba bristled. "Seto wouldn't do that," he said defensively.

Yugi smiled and laughed softly. "You're so blind."

But Mokuba had had his fill. He turned on his heel and left the courtroom. Destination: Kaiba Corp…
