A/N Thank you for all that review. Please keep them coming in so I know if you want me to keep it up. If no one is reading it then I'll stop right this. Ok with Seto's family, I only know that Seto's mom died having Mokie and their dad die short time later. I don't know there real last name is or if (beside the Pharaoh and I don't think that counts in this lifetime any ways) they have any relatives. So I made them up. If you do know, any of this information please let me know and I'll make the corrections. Well that is it. On with the story.
Chapter 10 March 3 months to go
Erin has a lot to do now a days. Seto has put in charge of getting the wedding ready as well as be his personal assistant. She has been follow him around making calls left and right. Right now, she is trying to find a place to hold it. She thought about a church then changed her mind. So now, she's looking for somewhere nice to hold it. If this was New York then she would have it outside in Central Park but it's not so she was looking around.
She was walking thought the park on her day off thinking where to have it. Maybe field of wildflowers or on a hill somewhere in the country. But shook her head no. Then she through a gay bar but laugh at that. 'Who would have a wedding in a bar?' she thought with a laugh. She keep walking and thinking. She looked at her watch and saw it was just about time for school to end and smiled. 'Feels weird not standing outside the school waiting on Mr. Kaiba and Joey.' She starts to walk back to her car she thought about the flower girl and ring barer. The flower girl was going to be a cousin from Joey side and the ring barer was a cousin on Seto's side. It was a surprise to him that he had some blood relatives living near by.
Erin was in her car driving home when she remember that day. It was only a few days ago. Around the 17th of March when he found out.
flashback
Erin was in the limo talking about the wedding when she brought the idea of a flower girl and ring barer. "Well I figure we could get someone from each side. Flower girl can be from your side Joey will the ring barer can be from your side Mr. Kaiba."
"I don't have any realities." Both Joey and Erin looked at him. "Are you sure Seto?"
"Yes."
"Well then I guess we could always…"
"Sorry to interrupted but how do you know that Seto?" Seto just looked at Joey then turned his head away. There was some sadness in Seto's eyes but Joey wouldn't leave it alone. "We can always look to see if someone is alive."
"I guess." Was all he said.
Later that night Erin and Joey where trying to find some relatives of Seto. Going throw Seto and Mokuba's adoption papers they found out his real last name was Tenshin. Then they found out that he had some relatives here in Domino City and close to Yugi's place. After looking at each other, they smiled as they ran up the stairs and busted into Seto's office. Erin stops at the door while Joey jumps into his lap. Or at lest tried to anyways. Seto just looked at him and Joey stop and leaned over the desk. "Guess what?" Joey said with a smile on his face and Seto would have sworn that if he had a tail it would be wagging. Seto smiled at him as he said "Down boy. Now what is it?"
"We found some blood relativities of yours. You have an aunt, uncle and a cousin. The live here in Domino City. Close to Yugi's place." Seto stared at him as if Joey had grown a second head. "Seto are you ok? Seto?"
"I have relativities?" He just couldn't believe on it. "They live here in Domino City and I never knew about them?" Seto said as he was sitting in his chair looking up at him. "I want to see them. Erin clear everything I had planned tomorrow."
"Yes sir. I will get started right away." Erin said as she turned and walked way. Joey said he would show you out and then came back up a few moments later. "You know I'll be there with you right?"
"Yes. By the way, what side did they come from? My dad or my mom?"
"Your dad side." Seto nodded as he got up and walked over to his pup and gave him a kiss. "Thank you pup." Joey just smiled at him as he reached up and pulled Seto into another kiss. "It is the lest I could do Seto for all your done for me and all you went throw last year."
the next day around noon
Seto and Joey where standing outside a house. It was like all the other houses here. It was brick and look like it was two stories. They walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Seto knocked and little boy around the age of five open the door. The boy had the same color hair as Seto but a shade lighter and a little wilder. He had the same eye color as well. He looked up to see Seto Kaiba standing there with some guy with blonde hair boy. "You're Seto Kaiba aren't you?" He said with wide eyes. In the background, you could hear a woman's voice. It sounded sweet and kind. "Who at the door, Aki?" The woman came to the door. She was about average high and build for a woman. She had the same color hair that Seto had and was pulled up into a bun at the back of her head and was wearing a light blue dress with a white apron over to and had what looked like blue eyes. She looked and was surprised to see who it was.
Putter her hands to her mouth she stood there stunned for a few moments before she pulled her self together. "Your Mokuami's son Seto." She said as she stood there with her hand's now resting on little Aki's shoulders. "But I thought that was Kaiba as in the guy that runs Kaiba Corp. mom?" Aki said looking up at him then to his mom. "Why don't you go and play at her friend's house next door." Nodding his head, he took off and was inside the house next door in a blink of an eye. "Please come in. I'm sure you have a lot of question. And your young friend err…"
"Joey ma am."
"Yes Joey is welcome as well." She said with a bow as they both walked in.
The house was a two-story house and the first room they walked into was the living room. Taking there shoes off and walking in Joey and Seto said on the couch that was next to the walk next to the door while the woman went and fix some tea. Looking around there was window behind them a tv in front of them and chair next to the couch. There where pictures on the wall and on top of the tv. Seto looked at on the ones on the wall and saw one of himself as a small baby in his mom's arms. Seto reached up and was about to touch it when he hear the woman say. "That was taken a few days after she came home with you from the hospital. I remember how proud you dad when you were born. And again, when Mokuba was born. Speaking of which how is Mokuba doing?"
"His doing fine." Seto said in his usual cold voice. He hadn't turned around or anything. "Why did you let us go into the orphanage?"
"I wanted to take you in seeing how you where my brother's sons but we didn't think we could have given you the proper life and we where right. You got adapted by the owner of Kaiba corp. and now you're living the kind of life you parents wanted you to live." Seto turned around and looked at her with cold eyes. "The proper life? Do you know what kind of life I had living with that monster of a step dad Miss. Tenshin?"
"Please we're family. It's Arisa."
"Ok Arisa. Do you know what I was put through with that man? He abused me. I was work to death with studies and drilled with how to run a business. Is that the kind of life my parents wanted me to have?" He asked as his voice rose a little with each word. "Seto please. Calm down. I'm sure if they had known they would have come and got you." Joey said as he stood up, laid a hand on his shoulders, and looked into his eyes with all the love he had for him. Arisa saw the love this Joey had for her nephew in his eyes and how he seemed to be able to calm him down with just a touch from him, smiled, and laughed when she heard the nickname he gave him. "I guess your pup. I should let her…." He stops and they both looked at her as if she had lost it. "Sorry but did you just call him pup?"
"Ya. It a pet name he as for me. Its better then mutt like he use to always call me."
"Mutt?" This made her laugh even more. "I'm sorry it's just your mom used to call your dad that when they first met. Your father would come home from school with steam coming out of ears sometimes because of her. Saying things like I'm not a stupid dog." Joey start to chuckle. "Sounds like us."
"Oh it was funny to watch the way she would just walk by him at time and say mutt for know reason at all but just to call him that."
"So that where you got that from?"
"No you just are one, mutt." Seto said with a smile on his face and twinkle in his eye as he looked over at Joey.
There where talking for a while and drinking tea when a man in his late 30's early 40's walked in. He had black hair, brown eyes average high and build for a man. He was a uniform for some company, walked over, and gave his wife a kiss on the check. "Akio looks who here visiting us. It's Mokuami's son Seto and his friend Joey." Arisa said as pointed to them seating on the couch with a smile on her face. Akio looked over and was shocked to see him sitting there. He got over his shock rather quickly and walked over to him as Seto stood up and shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you Mr…."
"Akio. You're my nephew so no Mr. Tenshin." He said with a smile. "So what bring you to are home?"
"Well you see I'm getting married soon and someone said I so use a little cousin around 5 to be the ring barer in it. I thought I didn't have any until Joey and she found you guys living here."
"So you had to meet us and wonder why we never adopted you and Mokuba right." Seto nodded. "Well I guess Arisa already told you why now you want to know if you can use Aki in the wedding right?" Ones again Seto nodded yes. "Well I guess that would be ok," Akio said as he looked down at his wife to see her smiling. "Just who are you marring anyways Seto?" his aunt asked.
"Joey." Seto said with pride in his answer as he took Joey's hand and held it after sitting down next to him again. He and Joey looked to Seto's aunt and uncle to see how they would react to this. They seemed shocked at first but then smile. "Sure as long as Aki does mind then we don't mind."
"Thank you and of course you two are invited to come so you can see your son."
"And are nephew get married." Arisa said as she smiled at him.
After a few moments, Seto and Joey got up to leave. Seto was feeling much better now that he met his aunt and uncle. Climbing in the limo Seto lean back and sighed. "They seemed real nice." Joey said as he lean against Seto as they drove home. "I just hope my aunt and uncle are when I go to ask we can use Ayame to be the flower girl." Seto smiled at him.
"I'm sure they will be."
"I don't know. You say how my dad was and Elijah is my dad's younger brother."
"I'm sure his nothing like him. Don't worry I'm coming with you." Seto said as he put his arm around him.
end flashback
Erin giggled a little as she remember what how hyper Joey was as told all about this the day after it happen. She was in her house getting stuff ready for tomorrow when she went back to work and hope that they where doing ok at Joey's aunt and uncle. She did notice yesterday that Joey nor Seto seem all to happy about going over there. "I'm sure there fine." she said to no one but couldn't help but have an uneasy feeling about it and couldn't wait until tomorrow when she could talk to Joey and find out how it went.
