Chapter 4: The Abusive Father

SMASH! Pieces of glass fragments shattered and scattered throughout the dirty room as Jim or known by some gangs Jimmy Jounouchi threw some beer bottles at a nearby wall angrily. "Where are you son of a bitch!"

The drunken man wobbled through the messy hallway coming up in front of a room, his sons room. Smashing it open he stepped inside, the door now in pieces to see his son not in his usual place namely the floor. "Goddamn it! Where the fuck is he!"

He cursed and cursed tearing the room apart searching for his dead meat son as his eyes filled with fury. During the search he uncovered an address book with an idea of what his son's plan was. "He must have gone to a friends house naughty boy, I'll double his daily beating when I get my hands on him."

Flipping through pages and pages of the book he came upon three possible people that would take in Jou in need for medical attention. The three people were Hiroto Honda, Anzu Masaki, and Yuugi Mutou. "Hiroto Honda hm, nah that Honda kid isn't really the type to know how to use a first aid kit, Anzu Masaki damn her name gives me the willies nope cross her out, then that leaves the Mutou kid he's gotta be the one since he lives near here."

A wicked grin then arose on the mans face as he then wobbled out of the room to a secret room that no one but him knew about, his weaponry room. "Ah my dear weapons its been a long time."He walked to each one, each carrying battle memories except for one.

Stopping at that particular one the blonde man picked it up smirking. "Well I haven't used you yet, now let's find my son."It was a laser gun that was very powerful that it wasn't put into stores and only was to be for army use only. "I hope you are very worth the money I spent."

Putting on a brown jacket over his dirty white t-shirt he walked out of the house having regained composure from the amount of alcohol he drank. Closing the door behind him he put the little laser gun to his right jacket pocket smirking thinking: 'When I get my hands on that brat he's going to wish he was never born into the Jounouchi family.'

The wind blew gently as Jimmy walked through some short cut alleyways, his honey-brown eyes burning with vengeance. He stopped just as he reached the game shop, he saw there were only two windows, one to the right, and one to the left. "Hm. Which window?"

He put a hand to his chin and pondered. "I'll try the right window."He slowly walked next door to the game shop's right neighbor. He knocked on the door as a man opened the door. "Hello may I use your roof."

The man put on a questioned look. "Why sir?"

"Well if you value your life that is."He took out the laser gun from his jacket pocket. "And don't even try to call the police or else."He showed a demonstration as he shot the lamp near them.

"O-ok but please don't hurt me."Jimmy smirked as he walked inside, there was no one there except for Jimmy and the man. "The roof stairs are at the left end of the hallway upstairs, but you have to lift them down to get the stairs down."

As the blonde man started up the stairs he stopped. "Oh yeah I forgot something."He turned slightly from where he was now and shot the phone making it explode. "Thank you."

So he continued up the stairs reaching the top he turned left and started walking to his destination, the end of the hallway. Reaching the destination he looked for what the old man was talking about and soon he spotted a little handle. "I'm just one step into finding you son."He smirked as he pulled it down to reveal some stairs.

He walked up the stairs, creaking ever so slightly as he came up to a little attic. "Well then now where is the window, ah there it is."

Chuckling ever so slightly he reached the window, it was just big enough to let him out without getting stuck in between. He carefully makes a large circle on the small window close to the one near the window where he was now and finished as he heard a crack and a shatter noise which was glass shattering to make sure that Jimmy's plan worked. "I'm coming Katsuya."

He carefully jumps out of the window to the window he just shot, chuckling as he saw his son on a bed with a peaceful look on his face. "Katsuya you've been a naughty boy today, well I'll take care of that damn attitude of yours when we get home."

"Ah. I see that your little friend now knows our little secret, I guess I'll have to beat you up twice as much tonight."Slowly he scooped his son to his arms smiling wickedly. "There's going to be hell to pay for you Katsuya."The other then chuckled but then heard some footsteps as he then jumped out of the window he came through and ran carrying his son bridal style all the ways to the house they lived in.

- - -

Opening the door Yami and Yuugi walked in expecting their young blonde haired friend to be sleeping peacefully, but when they neared the bed of where the blonde occupied, shattered glass was found on the wooden floor as they concluded together that it was from the guest room window.

Now was the moment of truth as they turned to the bed as Yuugi gasped with fear. "Oh my god."Yami looked at the bed that Jou had been occupying last night to see that it was empty. "Jou's gone."Indeed the blonde was taken away by his abusive father but the two didn't know that.

While Yuugi was crying or rather mourning about his best friend's disappearance Yami saw something, it was the laser that Jounouchi's father had used to get into the window. "Yuugi come here quick I found something."

The young teen perked up on those words as he walked to his dark. "What is it Yami."Yuugi blinked as he was shown a laser, but as he looked closer he gasped.

"What's wrong Yuugi?"The Pharaoh blinked as he heard the boy gasp. Yuugi pointed to a little tag, Yami looked at where he was pointing to and gasped it said, 'Made in Kaiba Corp, Domino City, Japan.' "Yuugi I think it's time to call Kaiba."Yuugi nodded as he ran and came back with a cordless phone.

"I'll talk to him Yami."The Pharaoh blinked at him but quickly understanding he nodded as Yuugi dialed the number to the Kaiba Mansion.

- - -

"Kaiba here."

"Kaiba-kun."

"Mutou?"

"I need you to come to my house right now pronto."

"But-."The CEO was caught off when Yuugi hung up on him making him irritated, nobody hangs off on Seto Kaiba. He growled. "Stupid Mutou."He mumbled as he walk to an intercom. "Isono I need you to drive me to Yuugi Mutou's house."

"Yes Mr. Kaiba I'll be waiting for you down at the garage."

"Damn Mutou."He grumbled again as he put his usual white trench coat on him and walked to the garage to see his limo ready to go and Isono was waiting patiently.

Isono bowed to the CEO and opened a door for him. "Thanks Isono."The said man just nodded as he closed the door and got into the front as they were off.

- - -

Yuugi turned off the phone as he sighed Yami smiled at him. "Nice job aibou."Yuugi just nodded sadly wanting to see Jou safe and sound. Yami sighed to himself now, he now envies Jou for getting this much attention from the young tri-colored haired boy that he loved.

"Yuugi I um-."He was caught off by the doorbell being sounded as the tri-colored haired boys walked to the door but Yami appeared into spirit mode or rather known as the transparent form as Yuugi opened it to see Kaiba and smiled.

"Hey Kaiba."

"Listen up Mutou why did you call me?"

"Just follow me and come take a look."The boy closed the door as he walked, Kaiba following him soon after.

As the two arrived at the destination Kaiba looked around the guest room as he saw the glass on the floor. "What does this have to do with me?"

Yuugi walked up to Kaiba and put the laser to his hand. "What's this?"The CEO looked at the laser. "This can't be, how did you get this?"He was surprised but he didn't show it as he was an expert in hiding emotion.

"I found it in this room when I saw that Jou was kidnaped."

"The pup was kidnaped, that just doesn't make any sense to why my laser is here, it's supposed to be for army use only who could have gotten this?"The CEO wondered pondering on the situation.

The young duelist sighed. "I don't know why the laser was found in this room but I know one thing, it has something to do with Jou."The other snorted as he crossed his arms.

"And why do you think it has to do with that mangy mutt?"

"Well first of all look at the guest window."Kaiba did so but still didn't understand. "Someone probably got a hold of your laser and managed to open the window easier with it."

Kaiba put a hand to his chin pondering on why the person who kidnaped his puppy would do this to him. 'Great now I'm referring that mutt in possession.'He thought rolling his eyes.

"Kaiba-kun would you help me find Jou?"He pleaded as he looked up tears streaming down his face in sadness. "It would really help, Jou has been though enough abuse."

Kaiba gasped faintly. 'Abuse? The pup was abused? Shit that's why he had those marks I was so blind as to not noticed them. . . . Why am I getting worked up over the mutt?'

Yuugi heard Kaiba gasp a few seconds after he said 'abuse' and decided to ask what was wrong. "Kaiba-kun is something wrong?"

Not wanting Yuugi to worry over him he snorted. "Everything's fine Mutou, now to the point why did you call me?"

"Well I thought that well maybe you knew something to connect this laser with Jou's disappearance."The young teen shifted his feet as he looked down.

"If I did know, why would I help you of all people?"

Yuugi looked up to him tears streaming to his face. "You just gotta help me, Jou might be dead! He's been through abuse for a long time now, I can tell, that's why he puts on long sleeve shirts and pants all the time! He didn't want us to worry about him! Please Kaiba-kun!"

Kaiba didn't know what to say, it was the first time the CEO was caught speechless. 'Jou . . . ack! What am I thinking! I - I don't know what to think anymore, this, this mutt madness has gotta stop now!'

- - -

"You're not going to get away this time son!"Jimmy laughed running after his sprinting son which was poor me Katsuya, with a knife in his hand.

I panted as I ran, not looking back. 'I must keep running, he'll get me if I stop now.'My legs were killing me, screaming in pain as I continued, I wanted to stop but I knew if I stopped it would kill me.

"You can't run all day Katsuya you're bound to get tired."Another wicked laugh sounded from my so-called father as I ran faster to try and get him off my tail.

I ignored the pain, tears of pain were visible on my face, I needed to stop now but I would get killed. My legs were aching, I didn't know what to do now, should I stop or should I keep running?

That was the question right now, what do I do? Should I yell out help? No, no one would believe me, no one has ever helped me except myself, so I ask myself once again, should I continue or should I end it? "What do I do!"I exclaimed sobbing to myself running and running.

Nobody would help me no one but myself! I sobbed and sobbed while running it was then I bumped into someone's chest by accident. "I-I'm sorry."I looked up with puffy red eyes as I gasped slightly. "K-Kaiba?"

Kaiba smiled down at me wrapping his arms around me. I felt so safe in his arms, I didn't want to let go, it's true I have a slight crush on the CEO but now I think it's more than just a crush. "It's ok Katsuya, he won't hurt you while I'm here."

He called me Katsuya. It surprised me a bit, him calling me Katsuya?

I snuggled into his chest deeper, this is what I always dreamed, I'd be in his arms all snuggled and safe. It didn't last long though as I heard my father. "Let. Go. Of. My. Son."He used a dangerous tone as he said this, I began trembling in fear and in anger, I wish my dad would just leave me alone!

I felt Kaiba's arms unwrap around me as he pushed me to the back of him. "You'll be safe there Katsuya."I blinked as I saw my crush or lover turn his head and smile at me. "I will always protect you."It was then he charged at my dad.

I gasped he didn't mean, no he couldn't. "KAIBA! NO!"

It was too late he was stabbed, tears came down my eyes again as I saw his body fall to the ground in slow motion. I had to do something but what? My father laughed, I couldn't believe it he laughed! Did he love to see me suffer under his hands, I ran to Kaiba still crying. "Why? WHY?!"

Kaiba opened his eyes and smiled. "I vowed to always protect you Katsuya and I never break a vow."It was then he coughed up blood. "Please just call me Seto, Katsuya."

"Seto.."He got that from me I bet, it was from his Battle City Tournament that I vowed to protect Mai and so he learned it from me.

"I-I love you Katsuya, I'll always do, don't forget me."That was the last thing he said before he closed his beautiful cerulean eyes as his head rolled to the side with a calm expression on his face.

There was a stunning silence after that, my tears streamed down my cheeks to the body that I loved. "Oh Seto I love you too . . . SETO!!"

Laughter was then heard coming from behind me. "I always loved to see you suffer but this is just too terrific."I growled.

"Why did you-WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?!"I shouted looking up to him with tear-stained eyes, how could a father make his own son suffer like this?

"I killed him because he was in my way of killing you."My eyes widened, how could he? How could he make his son suffer like this why?! What happened to the loving father I loved?!

My face was all red and puffy from my crying, I couldn't cry anymore my tears were all gone. "Why?"That was all I could say.

"Why? Well you're a son of a bitch that why. Enough of this petty talk, it's time to say good bye Katsuya."He edged toward me as I edged back, my sweat trailing down to the ground as I did so, I am scared, I admit it the great Katsuya Jounouchi has fears of his own.

I can't believe my father I mean my father would do something like this but, well I kinda expected this from the time he told me that he wished I would die because he thought I was the one who let the divorce happen with my mom and Shizuka. 'What happened to you dad?'I thought to himself as I edged back to a dead end wall. 'What happened to the gentle caring father I used to know?'

Chuckling was heard as I looked forward to see my father only 10 steps away from where I stood. 'I miss you dad.'I missed my dad very much, not this drunkard that only goes out for poker, drinks, and other stupid stuff. "Do you have any last words before I kill you?"

I stared into his eyes, they were still filled with anger and frustration, I couldn't bring my dad back, he's gone, gone to hell or to heaven, don't know but I hope that wherever that side to my dad has gone to is really having a great time. "Yes I do."

He smirked. "What is it then, I wanna be the first to know your last words."A wicked smile spread across his face, the face that used to smile at me lovely not this wickedly way.

I took my fighting stance and smirked. "Well it is...FUCK YOU!"I flipped him off before charging in after my father, no wait the drunkard that was my so-called father. "THIS IS FOR SETO AND ALL THE PAIN YOU'VE CAUSE ME YOU CHIKUSHOUME!"

He was still smirking and took his fighting stance, I still charged at him my target set and destroy but as I was to strike his face he dodged leaving me stunned and surprised. "Sayonara Katsuya."

I gasped he was going to do it, I couldn't move I was too stunned to do so, I couldn't believe what was happening. My father chuckled and lunged the knife to my ribs as I stared on in fear not moving an inch too scared to do so. "NO!!!"

- - -

"NO!!!"I bolted upright as I panted loudly. "Man what a nightmare."I looked around my surroundings, it was all darkness, I couldn't even see my hands or anything. "Where am I?"It felt like I was in a bed as I felt my hands in the covers of a blanket as I tried to move further a sharp pain shot up my body making me gasp.

"Damn it."I cursed as some more pain shot up my body as I tried to move again. "Guess I shouldn't for a while."I sighed. 'Ok last thing I remember before waking up here is that I arrived at the game shop, but what happened next? It's all a big blur to me.'

The next thing I knew the lights flipped on and I gasped, my surroundings were of my father's room at home. 'Oh shit, he must've found out where I was and took me back, shit.'A look of surprise and frustration all together was shown in my face. "Shit, I'm back here again."

- - -

"Kaiba-kun?"Yuugi sniffled and blinked, wiping away his tears with his hands. "Daijoubu desu ka?"

Kaiba was then snapped out of his "Katsuya" thoughts and registered what the short teen had said. "I'm alright Mutou."To tell the truth Kaiba was getting very irritated with himself right now, with all the Katsuya thoughts, and the kidnaping case. "I'll help you on one condition."

This made the hikari brighten up. "Arigatou Kaiba-kun, what's the condition?"

Kaiba smirked his usual Kaiba smirk."Well you'll let me have the pup stay at my house for treatment."He didn't know why he smirked or decided that condition but it just happened.

Yuugi was speechless at this offer and the action Kaiba gave, so he decided to ask Yami for advice. /Yami?/

#I know aibou, I don't know if we should trust him.#

/I don't know either, but we need his help, I can't find anything that would be very useful to us./

#This is a tough one.#The ancient Pharaoh pondered placing his hand to his chin, it was then he sighed. #Let's trust him, but if anything goes wrong I'm sending the tomb robber to banish him to the shadow realm.#

Yuugi chuckled mentally. /Ok Yami whatever you say./When he ended their mind link conversation, he found Kaiba staring at him. "Ok you can take care of him, but if you hurt him I'll come and hunt you down you hear that!"

Kaiba chuckled. "Don't worry the mutt will be safe in my hands. Now then let's get all the facts we have on the mutt together."

"Ok so everyday at school Jou has been wearing long clothes, we now know why that is because he was making sure we couldn't see all his cuts and get worried."Yuugi put a hand to his chin. "Who do you think hurt Jou so much Kaiba-kun?"

Kaiba pondered on the question. 'Don't know but he'll have a talk with me and it will not be a very good one.'Realization hit Kaiba. 'I'm getting obsessed with the pup why?'He combed his nicely chestnut hair and sighed.

"I don't know Mutou, but it was either a person that would gang up on him, a person that's have a grudge with him, or a parent."He added sadly in his mind, 'Just like my step-father did.'

Yuugi gasped when he heard the last part. "A parent, Jou's dad."

"You found something?"

Yuugi nodded. "Whenever we ask Jou if we could go over to his house, he would say no because it's too crowded, but now I know he's afraid of us getting hurt by his father."

"Hm. That seems possible since the mutt is seemingly loyal to you guys and he protects you guys too."Kaiba replied. 'If that's the case, I'll have that guy arrested.'He looked to Yuugi. "Do you know where the mutt's house is?"

Yuugi shook his head no. "No he wouldn't tell us, all he said that the info would be useless."Yuugi then added, "Maybe you can figure it out with your laptop."

"Right ahead of you."Yuugi turned to see Kaiba's silver laptop ready to go. #Figures, Kaiba always has his laptop in his always-being-carried briefcase.#Yuugi mentally chuckled as he saw the spirit roll his eyes.

/Oh Yami stop it./

As soon as he finished telling Yami that in their mind link he heard typing and saw Kaiba researching the whereabouts of Jou's house. A ding was heard as two minutes rolled on by. "Bingo."Kaiba smirked at the screen, Yuugi walked over to him seeing the results of their research.

Katsuya Jounouchi

1302 Domino Ave. Dr.

Domino City, Japan 95070

"Well that was easy, I should have done it with my hands blindfolded."He joked to himself as Yuugi chuckled hearing it.

"Very funny Kaiba-kun, now let's get Jou-kun outta there, it's only 2 blocks away from here."

Kaiba folded his laptop and put it into his briefcase. "Later Yuugi, besides I have work to finish at Kaiba Corp."He stood up and started out the room in a very dignified manner.

"See you later then Kaiba-kun."Yuugi said as he escorted Kaiba out the door and closed it. /Yami let's get ready now./

#Okay aibou, but first let's put on something else to wear.#

/Ok Yami./The young teen when up the stairs with the transparent Yami, going to his room he began to find some clothes to wear.

Kaiba walked to his limo that was still waiting for him at the front of the game shop. "Isono, give me your gun."

Isono who was reading some magazine looked up. "Why Mister Kaiba?"He blinked through his black glasses.

"Lets just say I have to do something, oh and go back to the mansion I'll walk back later."He put his briefcase in the limo as it drove off, leaving the CEO to walk as he now clutched onto a gun.

- - -

I looked around my surroundings in disgust, it was my fathers room alright the same room where I was first taken beatings to my dad, there was still some blood stains on the sheets. I tried to move but I couldn't and I felt pain go up my body again, I looked behind me when just my luck the lights went off. 'Then that means someone's here.'

Looking around I couldn't see anything, but decided not to go further as I decided to think of the dream I had. A faint blush rose from my cheeks, Kaiba in my dream risked his life for me. 'If it was real I would have been very heartbroken, besides I don't think Seto would think of me in that way since he loathes me.'

Sighing, I wished for Seto to love me for real not like in my dreams I've been getting, like one where Seto was near my bed and whoa I don't wanna go there now. I could tell that I have been sweating just thinking about that. "Man that was a weird dream,"I chuckled and then sighed sadly thinking about how much care that Mokuba has with his brother.

"I envy you Mokuba, you get to be close with your brother."I then added very shortly, "and the kindness from him."

Now for a very disturbing moment, a voice that I didn't wanna hear ever spoke in a very dangerous tone that was used when I was to be punished for something and right now he knew I escaped to go to Yuug's house. "Welcome back son."I jumped a bit at the tone, but then I got used to it since I've been handled with it almost every week.

I didn't say anything but I looked around to stare at the honey-brown eyes of my father. "Why did you leave may I ask?"I just kept on being quiet as the lights then came on again as I looked behind me again to only gasp in surprise.

- - -

Yuugi closed the door right behind him, wearing his usual leather attire with his Domino City uniform on too, Yami stood right beside him in spirit form. "Yami why don't you come out of spirit form."No one was around so Yuugi spoke to the spirit without their link.

"Yuugi nobody knows about me except for Anzu and Jounouchi do you think it would be strange if people saw us together blinking their eyes seeing two us?"It was a possibly, people could also just gasp and faint at seeing two Yuugi's.

"I guess you're right."Yuugi said a look of sadness on his face for a second before putting it back on to a determine face to get his friend Jou outta that place. The two started walking, Yuugi thought concealing his thoughts from Yami, 'Oh Yami, how I wait for you to hold my hand lovely and hug me tightly.'

- - -

'Shit! I'm chained to the bed!'Even my legs were chained, damn my father why did he have to do this? It was then I heard laughter as I turned my head to see my father laughing like in my dream. I glared dangerously at him. "Why are you doing this?"

I heard my father chuckled once again before he cupped my chin into his hand. "Such bravery even after I've beaten you up."I growled. "You're so much like your mother always feisty to the end even when she left me and you."

"Why are you doing this to me?"I asked once again, how dare he put mom in the conversation! "Why are you always beating me!"Laughter was my only answer as I growled even more angrily.

"I've already told you that a long time ago Katsuya. You drove away everyone you deserve to die and be tortured like this."I wanted to just kick him and kick him, but I couldn't I felt so helpless.

It was then I saw something shining in the back of his left hand, my eyes widened a bit. 'It's the dagger!'Seeing my wide-eyed look he smirked and took the blade out, it looked like the dagger or no wait the knife from the dream, all that's missing now is for Seto to come rescue me, but right now he must be at least twenty miles away, but what I didn't know was that Seto was only a block away from reaching this house.

"You remember this do you Katsuya?"I kept silent, it was the dagger that he used to almost kill me that night when my mom and sister left me with this drunkard. He smirked as a saddened look appeared on my face. "Well this right here is the dagger that I almost killed you with all those years ago, ironic though that I'd use it to finish what I started all those years ago."

He looked at the blade as he took out his hand that was cupping me and looked at it with those dirty honey brown eyes of his, I couldn't believe he was going to finish what he started with the same dagger at this day. 'Maybe that dream was no coincidence, maybe it was the future, or maybe nah it can't be that.'

My father still had his smirk on, if only I didn't have chains on me right now I'd go punch him in the face and run for it...the only thing that wouldn't make it flawless was that I had to only limp away, having little time for me to go out of the house. 'Damn there must be a way to get out of this.'

"Katsuya, Katsuya, Katsuya,"He chuckled. "When will you ever learn there is no escape, I wanted to kill you sooner but you were only useful as a slave for me, now that your usefulness is gone I now may get rid of you forever."My eyes widened even more at the sound of that, he was going to kill me with the dagger. 'Holy shit no!'

I looked around trying to find anything to help me with this dire situation, I saw a key lying on a dresser near me, it was my only hope I stretched out only to figure out I couldn't lean and get the key. 'God damn it!'I cursed in my mind, I tried one more time until my dad cut me.

Very deeply though, I screamed as more painful slashes came to me, my blood was spilling on the floor with every passing second like water streaming down a river. My father just laughed and laughed at his status of cutting me. "STOP IT!"I managed to shout but it was no use more and more cuts came at me.

The pain felt like needles forced into me with so much force it would kill me in a second. "S-Stop it p-please."I managed out again my father didn't even hear my pleas only having fun trying to kill me. I wanted all this to stop right now, but I couldn't do anything but scream at the pain all the cuts my father made caused.

The last thing I thought before blacking out into the darkness was Seto.

- - -

Kaiba looked at the old corrupted house, it was very dirty, the plants were dead, the grass was also dead and the house looked like it was to collapsed at any moment. Walking forward, opening the door which was already unlocked he walked inside a look of disgust arose on the CEO's face. "So this is where the pup lives, it looks like a piece of shit compared to all the old houses I've seen in my life."

Kaiba jumped in surprise just a bit when he heard a high-pitched scream, he ran to where it was coming from, beyond a bloodied door and a look up disgust was on the face once again. "Beyond this door, I bet I'll find what I'm look for."He said to himself, stopping to prepare himself for the worse as another scream entered his ears.

"Yup I was right."He clutched the gun he held in his right hand and checked it to see there was already bullets inside the gun. "Ok then it's time for me to step inside."Putting his right hand to his pocket with the gun clutched inside he put his left hand to the door knob and prepared his right hand that was to his gun to be ready to leash it out and shoot whoever was torturing his mutt. 'My mutt? Shit I gotta stop this madness.'He turned the knob and gasped quietly to himself at the gruesome image he saw as he opened the door.

A Neo Okami named Wolfy : You're really scared of this YW? Wow.. I hope this helps the fear. gives YW a flashlight Wolfy I'll keep writing I just hope I don't get into another Writer's Block faze. gives Wolfy a little dog collar for YW

Katsuya Jounouchi : More you say? Well this is just the beginning of what fate has in store with poor Jou and I don't think it's going to be pretty, but rest assured I never kill my favorite characters in a fic!

Jou: appears Liar!

YK: Um why you say liar Jou?

Jou: You killed Seto!

YK: It was a dream.

Jou: In the other fic.

YK: Oh well something very miraculously is going to happen but I don't wanna spoil the surprises to anyone.

Jou: Oh. Well don't kill him again! disappears

Well that was an interesting moment. gives you some DVD's of the uncut YGO season that's coming in two months Hope you continue to read my ficcy.

Joey Baby: Thanks for the compliment. gives a picture of Jou in a kimono to you

Joeyphantom4: Yeah what do we really know about Jou, I'm still thinking of whether I should put gore into it(or do you think the scene up there is gore, well I don't know if it is or not so yeah.). gives you a Jou pushie

Kamui: nervous chuckle Um, ok then I think you made me want to write more. gives you a Malik pushie

mandapandabug: O.O - tis a very long review, I think it helped a lot cause this chapter is way longer than all of my others. Sorry it took me 41 days to update, I always was best at writing when school starts, don't know where that came from but trust me when school starts I'll update chapters very soon if not that means I need more inspiration or reviews whatever which. It was really your longest review ever, wow whenever I review I don't write that much, you must be a master at reviewing fics. Well do you like the little Seto/Jou fluff(if you can even call it fluff.) I did in his little dream? I know it was cruel for me to make Jou suffer like that, believe me it wasn't easy to write those scenes. Writing plots might help me with all the chapters, I shall see to it that I write long paragraphs for the ploty line chapters that I made and I will guarantee a long chapter will be headed for you next chapter or the next next chapter. I'll be sure to tell you if I need any ideas but right now I don't think I need ideas right now. O.O - wow I'm writing a very long response that's cool. Ok now what should I give you, you're a loyal reviewer too mandapandabug so now I need to find a perfect gift for you . . . . . . Ah ha! Got it! gives you a YGO surprise pack that has various things that you can't even imagine

Chapter 1 response from Joeyphantom4: I used to call him Joey but ever since I learned his Japanese name I just can't stop typing his name, but whenever I talk about him I always say Joey, but that's off topic so here's your gift. gives you two DVD's of the Japanese version of YGO

Thanks to all the reviewers and thank you readers for reading my story. Well that's all the time I have today see you when Chapter 5 is updated. runs home to do Chapter 5
