Mixed emotions

Hey people! Sorry for all the waiting, but as u know, I went to America for the holidays! It was so much fun! I was going to say something, but then the song changed and I can't remember what I was going to say! Lol!

I hope you all enjoy this chappie! Just to warn you; this chapter can be very dark.

Disclaimer: why do we have to put a disclaimer! All it is doing is making our self esteem less! Well, just to make my self esteem lower, I don't own Cyborg 009 or Yugioh.

It was the middle of the night. Everyone was sleeping, well, everyone except Joe and Yami. Yami couldn't sleep. He had had one of his memory dreams again.

Joe was in the kitchen, trying not to make a sound. He didn't want to wake anyone. He found a kitchen knife and looked at it. He didn't want Francoise to love him. He was going to die soon. Dr. Gilmore and Professor Izumi hadn't made any progress in finding a cure to the virus.

'I'm in so much pain.' Joe thought. 'I'm not getting better, I never will! Francoise is so beautiful, so sweet. She doesn't deserve a dying man like me, heck! I'm not even a man! I'm a cyborg!' with those thoughts in his head, Joe slit his wrists. There was blood everywhere.

Joe took the knife and was about to plunge it into his heart when Yami came into the kitchen. He was hungry and decided to get a midnight snack.

"Joe! What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm committing suicide!" Joe yelled. "And you aren't going to stop me!"

Yami came forward and tried to take the knife out of Joe's hand, but he wouldn't let go. By the end of the struggling to take the knife and the yells to try and convince the other to let him have it, they had woken everyone else up.

Everyone was now in the kitchen. Once they had figured out what the fight was about, Jet, Albert, Joey, Tristan and G.B. were trying to help Yami.

"No! Let me go!" Joe yelled. "I want to die! I want to die!"

"For goodness sakes! If he wants to die, let him!" yelled Bakura over the noise.

"Shut up Tomb Robber!" Yami yelled back.

Finally they had gotten the knife away from Joe. Joe fell to the ground and started crying.

"Why? Why didn't you let me end my misery?" Joe cried. Francoise went over to Joe and gave him a hug. Soon Joe had calmed down and everyone was sitting on the seats at the dining table. Francoise got some bandages for Joe's wrists.

"Joe? Why did you want to kill your self?" asked Francoise when she had finished wrapping up Joe's wrists. Joe didn't answer.

"Please tell us Joe!" begged Yugi.

"This is very serious Joe, you know that don't you." Albert said. "You don't just try to kill yourself for no reason, please tell us that reason."

"If you don't tell us the reason, how are we supposed to help you?" asked Geronimo.

"You can't! You can't help me!" Joe yelled.

"Yes we can! You just have to let us!" exclaimed Yugi.

"No! You can't! No one can help me! Dr. Gilmore and Professor Izumi have tried but haven't found a cure! No one can help me!" Joe yelled.

"Dr. Gilmore and Professor Izumi have what?" G.B. asked while looking at Dr. Gilmore and Professor Izumi.

"Well, I guess you have to tell them now, Joe." Dr. Gilmore said to Joe.

"No. They don't need to know. I just want everyone to live their lives, happily, with or without me." Joe said.

"You should tell them though." Professor Izumi said.

"Please Joe. We want to know." Francoise said.

"If you don't tell them, I will." Dr. Gilmore said. Joe just stayed quite. Dr. Gilmore took in a deep breath and started.

"I'm afraid Joe is very ill."

"What is wrong with him?" asked Francoise, afraid about what was coming.

"He has a virus. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the virus. Professor Izumi and I are working on a cure now but it's not looking good." Dr. Gilmore said.

"What would happen if you don't find a cure?" asked Jet. Just then, Joe got up and left the room, tears in his eyes. There was quite in the room now. They all thought they knew what would happen but they still wanted to know if it was true. Dr. Gilmore couldn't tell them, not those innocent cyborgs. They had been through so much together.

Professor Izumi gulped. "He will die."

There was silence. No one moved. Not one single sound was made. Francoise started to whimper. Tea held her, trying not to cry herself.

"009, our beloved 009, is dying." a shocked Chang said.

"Why? Oh why does it have to be this way? If only we could be together. Away from all this horror and pain." G.B. quoted from one of his plays.

"I can't believe it! I just can't believe it!" exclaimed a very shocked Yugi. Yami went over to Yugi and hugged him.

"I know Yugi, I know." He said.

For the next few minutes, all they did was sit there, taking the big news in. Jet was the one who broke the silence.

"Why didn't he tell us?" he wondered out loud. "I would rather know the truth than have him die any time for some unknown reason!"

"He probably thought you would treat him differently, with pity. Joe didn't want that." Dr. Gilmore said.

"But if he would have told us, we might have been able to help him get through it. Help him through those worrying nights and waiting days, until you found a cure." Ryou said.

"I agree, but it was Joe's choice not tell you, not mine." Dr. Gilmore said. Francoise got up.

"I'm going to go and see if Joe is alright." Francoise said.

Francoise saw Joe outside, looking at the water. She went up to him.

"I thought that I could just end it. End all the pain, all the suffering." Joe said when Francoise was just 2 steps away from him.

"No, Joe. Please, I want you to stay, here, with me."

"No, I can't Francoise." Joe answered.

"Don't you think that you have said 'can't' too many times already?" Joe turned to look at Francoise.

"I'm going to die sooner or later. Don't you think I should just get it over and done with?" Joe said.

"No, I don't think you should. I love you too much to let you die, Joe. I want you to stay with me!" Francoise said as she lent in for a kiss. It was even sweeter than before. Francoise opened her mouth to let Joe taste her sweetness. They stood there, holding each other, kissing, under the moonlight.

Unfortunately this was not a good night. As they separated, they noticed that others were watching them. It was the Blue Moon Fighters.

"Ahh. Lovely night for a walk isn't it?" said the new leader. He laughed. He was wearing the uniform and had Blonde hair.

Ivan! Ivan! Tell the others that the Blue Moon Fighters are here! Francoise said through telepathy.

I will. replied Ivan.

Dun Dun Dun! Cliffie! Is that what you would call a cliffie? Oh well.
