Chapter 10: The Hateful Revenge
It rained in the city of Hokkaido, the storm season at it's strongest. Sounds of thunder roared as the truck drove by. The driver: Minamito, Hojo. The adult growled at the droplets of water from the sky. He always hated the rain and wished he was home with his kids and wife. 'What I'd give to go home and make love to my wife.' The adult thought grinning; obviously from the dirty ideas that came into mind.
"Why did I have to babysit this guy, it's always my duty to carry the prisoners to their home. I signed up just to go on shifts for security, but no, they had to assign me to pick up duty." Hojo complained as he stopped at a red light. The officer put on his blue jacket over his uniform; given to him by the police force, it wasn't that warm, but at least it gave him some warmth. "Fuck this." He cursed, shivering as his teeth clattered at the chilliness of the truck.
A groan reached his ears and rolled his eyes. Times like this where Hojo would want some hot cocoa right about now. "Where am I?" A ragged voice came from behind the other; in the shadows of Hojo's pick-up truck.
"You're in my pick-up truck, mister." The other replied, keeping his eyes on the road. "Sorry about this, but my orders are clear."
The other widened his eyes. "Orders?"
And he was right, the other had dodged right before the fist connected to his face, but as the other dodged, Kaiba's left arm had reached the spray can and sprayed the green substance near his eyes but not to blind him permanently. 'Yes right on the mark.' He chuckled to himself after that, it was something that Jou would say.
The other closed his eyes as pain surged through them, you can imagine how that hurts. Kaiba smirked, nobody can defeat him when it comes to fighting, coming up with plans, and make use of useless materials. Jim wobbled throughout the room as Kaiba still smirked walking toward a helpless man.
It was then he stopped near the other stalling a bit to regain some energy he lost during the first part of his plan. "Well..I told you I was trying to arrest you and I succeeded."
The other still had his eyes closed. "You lie!"
Kaiba chuckled. "Have you ever heard of a cell phone? I could easily pressed the buttons on this phone and have the police on you, well when they arrive you'll be unconscious."
Jim growled. "You won't get away with this!"
"Oh trust me I will."
"Hello?" Hojo questioned the dazed man in back of him; they were already at the police station of Hokkaido. "Hey crazy man, you deaf!" The man exclaimed at the other. This was getting tiring; for him at least. "Damn it! Wake up you old fool!"
A hand shot out swiftly and grabbed the man's throat tightly. "Don't you dare interfere with my concentration!" The man hollered at the other.
"Let go!" Hojo croaked out weakly.
The other smirked. "You'll be my warm up for killing that brat and that CEO."
"Please let go." The officer pleaded; regretting all the things he said about the other.
The man didn't let go; causing the death of the officer in seconds. "That was refreshing." He grinned from the darkness and jumped out of the truck; releasing hold of the officer in the process. "Now..to plan my revenge." The man said; his blonde hair now revealed and drenched. "I will show them. Nobody messes with Jim Jounouchi. Not even that son of a bitch son of mine and that Kaiba kid."
"Well now what should I do with him?" Jim pondered looking at the dead body near him. Then he grinned. "I know," Digging through his pockets, he pulled out something shiny. It was the dagger he used on Jou that other night. "well now, I guess nobody will find your body. Well your whole body at least." He laughed maniacally; thinking that he would do this to Kaiba in front of his son. "Goodbye."
Jim raised the dagger. "Now what should I start of with? Oh yeah. The head."
1. 2. 3. Craa-ck.
-
Yami's eyes widened; witnessing the scene that just occurred over in Hokkaido. It wasn't too good, blood was everywhere, and Hojo was nowhere in sight. "Shit." The ex-pharaoh cursed as he cuddled softly over the sleeping Yuugi in his arms. "Jounouchi and Kaiba are in trouble." He continued, slicing the "Mr Katsuya" act for now. "I better go warn them. I'm sorry Yuugi-koi, I have to do this." He concluded closing his eyes.
Flash. The ex-pharaoh opened his crimson blood eyes, Yuugi was no where to be seen. "I'm sorry Yuugi, we'll have some time to ourselves later." The youth promised as he stood up. "Now to warn those two about Jou's father." He concluded breaking into a run, since every second counted. Jou's tou-san could be anywhere, so he couldn't take that chance.
-
Laughter sounded as the deed was done. It was one more step to killing his son and that CEO lover of his. "Oh wait till I get to them. Now where am I?" The man questioned, the rain still falling endlessly. Jim glanced around looking for some clue.
He grinned darkly, the rain background making it stand out more than it should. "Hokkaido, that's only twenty minutes or less with this truck." The adult said as he looked away from the police station sign. Jim strolled toward the said object in front of him.
That was when a thought struck into his head. 'There's got to be another pair of that uniform.' He thought climbing up to the already opened truck as he shut the door until it locked. "Now where would I put those extra uniforms hmm?" He questioned no one in particular. He pondered and ponder about it.
"Oh yes." The adult smiled as he opened up a small compartment behind the seat. He smiled even more, feeling some clothing and brought it up. It was the extra uniforms. Closing the blinds; which were not to intrude into a person's privacy when needed, he changed into them instead of the clothes he wore.
Two minutes was what he needed, as the blinds were gone again again. "I'm coming for you son." The man chuckled as he drove over the remains of what were left of Hojo and hustled to the road that would lead him to his son. Blood splattered on the windowsill for some reason as the other rolled his eyes. "Great some blood. Oh well." He said as the rain swiftly washed it off.
He grabbed the intercom speaker. "Hello, I need a pin-point location of Jounouchi Katsuya, over."
-
"Well it's just you and me pup." The teen sighed as he rolled over with his chair over to the teen. "I don't know what's going on with you these couple days and I'm not happy about it." The CEO said to himself growling about the last couple of days that gave his shit. "I don't know about you, but this is SHIT! You hear me shit!" Kaiba chuckled at his outburst. "Of course you can't hear me, you're sleeping soundly like a baby damn it!"
Kaiba sighed then. "Aw.. You're so cute when you're frustrated when you're worried about your puppy." The voice again, what a time for it to speak. "When are you going to say you loooooove him, huh, Seto-chan?" The voice asked as the -chan part really ticked him off."
"You fucking piece of shit!" He shouted in distress. "I'm not going to say those words ever in my whole entire lifetime."
The voice seemed to differ from the CEO's answer. "Nuh-uh, I sense you'll be confessing very soon. Maybe tonight, tomorrow, anytime." Mokuba's little voice responded at the other. "It's a mystery." He concluded with a giggle of enjoyment.
"Shut the fuck up! I do not like him!" He denied, as a sigh of disappointment reached the teens ears.
"Poor, Poor Seto..denying your feelings, yet again." The voice continued to taunt him as the other growled in agitation. "You'll never save your puppy from him again if you keep denying it." It continued as it said something that sparked in the young teen's mind.
Kaiba raised a brow at what the voice said about "You'll never save your puppy from him again if you keep denying it." and who was the "him" in the voices sentence. 'Could it be, Katsuy-the mutt's father is back?'
"Finally you catch on, whee!" The voice giggled at the other.
The door to the medical room opened, with the voice now gone from his mind, Kaiba payed attention to the door in front of him. 'That might be him.' The teen thought before going into his famous stance. The door opened widely to show, Yami or rather in Kaiba's mind Yuugi. "Yuugi? Back so soon?" He asked at the yami in front of him.
'That's good, he hasn't gotten to them or at least not yet.' Yami thought as he walked toward the two; Kaiba seizing his fighting stance. "Kaiba. You and Jounouchi are in danger." He spoke as the other crossed his arms.
-
Hm..what are they talking about? Why am I and Seto in danger. "Hey Yami, ya gotta be more specific." I told them as two startling gasps heard me. "That's great. You can finally hear me now and man was Kaiba talking to himself." I chuckled as they looked at me.
"What the hell." Kaiba stated in disbelief.
I opened my eyes and glanced up at them with a smile on my face. "Gomen about speaking the truth guys, I tried to stop it. What the hell was in that medicine anyway? It tasted like shit!" I made a disgusted face as I said that. "Never let me taste it again. Yuck!"
"But how?" Yami asked as I chuckled; man would I want to have a video camcorder in my pocket right now. "You were asleep, I mean you were-oh forget it." He finished and sighed.
I laughed and sat up. "Man it's great to move again, it felt like I was in a twilight zone episode." Stretching my legs and arms, I smiled at the gaped faces of Seto and Yami. "If you're wondering how I know what happened, even when I couldn't move I could hear your voices. Strange I know, but hanging around with Yuugi, nothing compared to this is strange."
A flash blinded us for a second, Yuugi stood in the position of Yami. It was a heartbreak moment, Yuugi was in tears. "Jounouchi!" He cried and hugged me, tightly might I add. Though who could blame him, he's like a little brother to me and some much like Shizuka. "Don't scare me like that you hear!" Yuugi yelled and punched me playfully.
"Hey I didn't do anything, some freaky magic did." I chuckled as he continued on with his act. "Hey cut that out."
Yuugi grinned and continued, though it started out as punching, but then into tickling. "Take that Jou!" The youth chuckled tackling all my ticklish spots. Maybe I shouldn't have told him about all my ticklish spots.
"Yuugi-stop..please."
Kaiba just watched there with a sweatdrop as Yuugi continued to tickle me. "Not until you take back all your pranks that you made on me!"
"Alright I give! I give!" I yelled out to Yuugi as he giggled and stopped.
-
Shuffling was heard over the intercom speaker and finally it subsided. "On our radar, he's in Kaiba Mansion, ten minutes from here over. Why? Over." The intercom guys asked as the other got his information and cut the cord for the speaker.
"I'm coming for you my son, oh and your little lover too." (1) Jim spoke as he laughed maniacally, driving to the nearest pathway to Domino City, Kaiba mansion. What he took was the fastest way and...to make matters worse...it took ten whole minutes to get there.
In the shadows..two figures lay laughing along with the other. Two figures, that wanted revenge.
-
"So Jounouchi. How were you able to hear us even when you fainted?" Yuugi asked as I shrugged. I didn't really know, but I felt like I was on fire when it happened, just like how I faced Ra in that battle with Mariku.
Kaiba listened, though I don't think he's very interested in this, since he's been pissing off because of his DAMN computer. Man I can't believe it, even though I've heard it, still can't believe the one thing that can get in his nerves besides me is his computer. I gotta tell someone. "Yuugi. When I fainted, it felt like fire going through me, just like when I battled with Mariku and Ra." I said as the tv was turned on automatically. By magic? Who the hell knows?
"This is Channel 2's breaking news. Police are still investing, for what happened to Hojo Minamoto, if you've seen him please contact the police immediately." The newscaster said as the picture of the said adult appeared on the screen.
That was when Chief Maguire came on. "Wait a minute." He spoke with his deep voice. "We have just found Minamoto-san.." He trailed off as he tried to find his voice. "We've just got results back in from the lab." Walking away from the police station he stopped at the corner of the cliff. "This is Minamoto-san..." The chief moved away as the camera's shot loads of flesh on the soaked ground. "Or what's left of him."
We could hear the sound of gasps behind the cameras as all of us; even Kaiba gasped. "We found some evidence and we might know who did it." He said showing, the dreaded knife and blood stain of my life.
"And back to you Takeshi." The newscaster said as the tv turned off.
Kaiba and Yuugi looked back at me. I shook, my teeth clattered, I couldn't tear my eyes off the screen. It was a nightmare. I hope I would wake up soon and realize this was just a dream. Though this was reality, my father...was back and I bet he used the authorities to get to me. "Shit." I cursed, still shaking in fear.
"Jounouchi?" Innocent Yuugi asked me as I still shook with fear.
I didn't want "him" to come back for me and hurt the ones I love, like in my nightmare and all those years ago. "T-t-t-hat's m-y-y..." I couldn't say anymore, fear drained all the strength I had left. Yuugi and Kaiba glanced on, I couldn't hide from their sights. I confess that I, Katsuya Jounouchi, fear my own father.
I still shook, I couldn't stop. What would I do, if he hurt everyone that I loved?
"SNAP OUT OF IT JOUNOUCHI!" A yell or a cry shouted at me with an action that I thought was suitable in this situation.
SLAP!
Yes, Yuugi was the one who slapped me. Heh. I guess that takes care of him owing me a punch when Yami was down and out when Dartz came. For a minute I took my hand and rubbed my cheek, the pain still burning, though I knew it was the cure. "T-thank you Yuugi." I say sighing, being able to speak without shaking with fear.
"Gomen Jounouchi-kun."
I smiled at him, why did he have to apologize? "No Yuugi, I needed that." I sigh, prolonging the truth about that knife, but I gotta say it now or later. "That's my fathers..knife."
"No way!" Yuugi cried out as he heard the truth.
I nodded. "It's the truth, I still remember that bloodstain anywhere." I said before telling the whole story.
-
"Shizuka in here." I say to my sister as we both hid from the closet, my kaa-san and tou-san were at it again. I don't know why, but every time they do, tou-san's colder. "We'll be safe in here. Don't worry, okaa-san and tou-san will be together again, before you know it."
My imouto hugged her stuffed rabbit, or what was left of it since tou-san got mad at Shizuka for bringing that rabbit. "I hope you're right oni-chan." She replied as we listened to more hits and yells.
Then at last that fateful moment. "So Yukina, you dare to defy me! Oh you shall pay." I hear my tou-san speak as I gasped and covered Shizuka's eyes from this bloodshed. Okaa-san was getting sliced by tou-san, that wasn't like their usual arguments. "Come back here, before I shoot you." Tou-san laughed, I couldn't believe it he laughed. Why?
"Shizuka!" Okaa-san yelled as she slapped my hand away from her eyes and grabbed her.
I glanced up with my honey-brown eyes, pleadingly to get away from this place. "Okaa-san, what about me?" I asked as she turned around, her piercing eyes staring at me with a glare. I gasp, wondering why okaa-san was looking at me like that. "Kaa-san?" I questioned.
"You don't get it do you." She spoke, I didn't know what she was talking about. "You're going to end up just like your father, cold, ruthless, and never caring for anyone but yourself. You're out of my life forever." She spoke as a million daggers stabbed at me, or so it seemed. "Goodbye..son of Jounouchi."
-
"...and that's when she left me, with my so-called-father." I spoke tears slipping from my eyes. "My heart was broken that day, I didn't have a family to care for me, so I..." I took a deep breath before starting again. "I was my father's slave. With all the beatings, I had to keep it from you. Gomen nasai. That was the last time I saw my okaa-san before Battle City. The blood stain was not of Minamoto-san, it was my kaa-san's since my dad could never wash it off." I say before I broke down on the couch and cried on Yuugi, since we were located in the living room.
I swear I could have seen a worried look from Seto, though I didn't want to think of it now. I just wanted to relax and cry out all my tears that I kept from all of them. "It's ok Jou, we're all here to support you."
"Arigatou Yuugi, I really appreciate it."I say, Yuugi always had a way to bring a smile out on everyone.
KABOOM!
A grenade exploded as it made us slam into the wall by the closeness of the blast. "Damn it." I cursed as I heard laughing from right where the boom hit off and I knew who it was immediately. "Tou-san.." I whisper softly.
The smoke cleared, I was right. It was tou-san. "Hello Katsuya, what have I told you about tell your friends about that bitch who called herself my wife!" He bellowed at me as I growled. "You know the consequences." Yeah I knew alright, a beating of a lifetime.
"You're not getting me or my friends!" I shout back as he laughed.
He took out something, what is it? I can't really see it. I stood up, to stand up to my father. Though, it was a mistake I regretted when I did. "Fuck." I curse as it was too late for me to fall back. Tou-san blew something from some bamboo thing and it shot me. 'Shit, a knock out shooter.' I think before I fall to the ground.
-
"Jounouchi!" Yuugi shouted as a flash emitted from the puzzle and then there stood Yami. "Damn it! I shouldn't have overslept." Yami spoke out as he growled.
Kaiba growled as well. "Damn he got Joun-the mutt." He said before lunging out for him.
"Kaiba wait!" Yami shouted but it was too late and he couldn't stop him.
Jim chuckled as the CEO lunged at him but as the other did, he opened a spray bottle that had gas; Sleeping gas. "Oyasumi." He said as he put on a helmet and grinned as he saw the two teens fell to the ground like babies. "Now let's get you to that warehouse Katsuya." He said, grabbing hold of the teen's body and walked out of the mansion.
Yami was the first to get up as Kaiba was still asleep. "Damn it, I should have used my mind crush technique on him. Jounouchi. We will get you back." The ex-pharaoh said before he transformed back to Yuugi.
"Oh Jou-kun." He spoke sadly before walking over to Kaiba and punched him playfully. "Kaiba-kun. Kaiba-kun."
The youth grunted as he opened his eyes and sat up. "Damn it we're too late."
"We're get him back. Just wait and see." Yuugi spoke as Kaiba stood up.
A growl escaped the CEO's lips. "Damn it! Who knows what will happen this time."
"Am I missing something or did you say "who knows what will happen this time"?" The youth grinned. "Oooh so you were the one who rescued Jou from his dad the first time." Yuugi implied as he grinned sheepishly.
Kaiba growled in having revealed the secret. "Shut up Mutou. I don't want to hear your voice." He said glancing around the room to inspect his house.
Nothing seemed hard to repair or weird, though there was a note on top of the tv. The CEO picked it up and read it out loud.
To Katsuya's friend's,
I'll be waiting for you in one the Domino Pier Warehouses, come in two hours or you won't see Katsuya ever again. Try and find me. Good luck.
Sincerely,
Jim Jounouchi
"Shit what time is it?" Kaiba asked as he glanced at the still working clock on his wall that said it was an hour from the attack. "Holy shit. Mutou let's go."
Yuugi blinked at the suddenly curses. "Go where?"
"You know where."
The teen sighed and walked over to him, all in the while, reading the note again. "Okie dokie. Let's go. We'll show them that they never mess with our friends or they end up like shit."
"I never knew you could swear Mutou."
Yuugi smiled. "That's because you never got to know me."
"Anyways, let's go, I'll have my helicopter's drop us." Kaiba spoke as he reached out his cell phone. "Isono, it's Kaiba again. Bring over the helicopter, we got a dangerous mission ahead of us." He said before putting the phone back into his pocket.
"We'll get him back, I just know it." Yuugi said determinedly as they walked outside toward as they heard the helicopters engine. "Wow that was fast." He said blinking as it landed.
Kaiba glanced at the helicopter. "Of course that was fast, we have helicopters here, just like in Kaiba Corp."
"Oh..." Yuugi spoke understanding what the other said.
Isono pushed a button from inside the helicopter as the helicopter door opened to let them in. "Where to?" The adult asked as they sat down.
"To the Domino Pier houses and make it fast." Kaiba commanded.
Isono nodded as they finally took off to find Jounouchi with only forty minutes left from the letter timing. 'We're coming to get you Jounouchi. No matter what the costs are, we'll never leave you behind.'

You're welcome, glad to make my reviewers happy. Yami and Yuugi are a cute couple aren't they? The cutest couples I like are Yami x Yuugi , Seto x Jou , Yami x Jou , and Yuugi x Jou. You can see I love Jou with them. It's just soo cute. I used to have a liking for Takuya x Kouji from Digimon, but now..I don't think I have the interest since they stopped showing that season last year and made re-runs. Same here about the Yuugi pairing. Though I kind of still like the Anzu x Yuugi pairing, only in series 1 though since she wasn't all friendshippy there. I wonder what would have happened if Miho were to show up in Yuugiou - Duel Monsters? Wonders Nope, I don't know where I can get real pushies. I really want a real Jou pushie, but I don't know where! That's a lot of stuff. Hey did you know that the Japanese release of that movie in Japanese is also coming out in March in DVD format. Sometimes I get mad at the dub and sometimes I'm fine with it, it just depends on how much I've seen in Japanese and comparing it to the dub. pats I hope Yuugiou comes back to you. gives you a Ryou and Bakura pushie. Wow what a long review.
