Joey finally comes to his senses, and realizes that he's not in Seto's basement anymore.
He looked around, and realized he was in a dried up old well. After climbing out, he witnessed nothing but something that looked like a wooded area. Something like a forest. Is this some kind of trick? He looked around. Why am I outside? Where is rich boy's basement? Why am I all of sudden---
"Who is that?"
Joey turned to see a young girl who just climbed out of the same well he did. He proceeded to run. He also slammed and knocked over a boy who seemed very frustrated.
The guys got ears on his head…….what is this place? Joey thought.
"Is this your boyfriend or something, Kagome?" The guy seemed quite jealous.
"Boyfriend? Listen, she's cute and all, but…...but I don't know her!" Joey felt his face blush. "Then who are you?" The girls name must be Kagome…..Joey thought.
"I'm Joey Wheeler, and trust me; I didn't come here on purpose."

"So you let that dog hide out in my basement, huh, Mokuba? You seem to really love pets." Seto didn't look at his brother when he talked to him.
Mokuba didn't look, either.
"What did you do to him?" Mokuba asked.
"Don't worry, he's gone." Seto replied. Mokuba couldn't bear to think of the things that could happen to Joey in a week. How could Seto be so cruel? How could he throw Joey out like that? I know he thinks he's a dog an all, but did he think of how I felt? Or how about how Joey feels? Why can't he let him stay for a measly seven days? Mokuba thought.
Mokuba found himself crying again. This time, however, he wasn't sad, he was mad.
"S—Seto, I…" Mokuba said. "What, Mokuba? What is it?" Seto finally looked down at his little brother. Mokuba couldn't be a coward. No. Not now. Not after Seto threw Joey out into the snow, with no place to stay.
"Seto, I—I HATE YOU!" With that, Mokuba took off without any more to say to his older brother.
Mokuba looked up into the sky when he was far enough from the house. A safe enough distance from home to stop running in case Seto came after him. He watched as two sisters played with their parents. The older sister said to the younger sister "For Christmas, I'm going to bring you something special, Yuzua."
"Really, Kamari? What is it? Tell me, tell me!"
"It's a secret. You can't know until you find out, Yuzua."
The little sister pouted, but smiled after. "I'll wait forever when it's a present from you, Kamari!"
Mokuba remembered when Seto would say the same to him. He found it hard not to cry, again, especially in front of two girls younger than he was.
Mokuba then decided to check and see if Joey had went home. He ran all the way to Joey's house, and found no one, and no sign of someone trying to get in.
He was both relived and worried. Nobody broke in, which means it wasn't a robber, and it wasn't Joey, either. Where could he be?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you're Inuyasha, you're Kagome; you're Sango, Miroku and Shippo."
"Right. And you said you're name was Joey Wheeler?"
"That's right."
"One thing still bothers me though….." Miroku turned to look at Joey. "How did you get here if you say you were born on January 25, 1988?"
"That's what I wanna know!"
"I think it was that machine…."
"Continue…" the others chorused.

Roland paced the floor. It had been hours since Mokuba had run away, and Seto went after him. It's getting dark, I hope Mokuba's alright, he thought.
Seto, however, had been standing in front of Joey's house, wondering, worrying, and waiting for his brother. He didn't even try to hide his expression. He was worried, and looked as if he were on the verge of tears.
Mokuba had never disappeared for this long, not even when the rare hunters kidnapped him, and hung him from a helicopter. Not even when Pegasus took his soul. He needed to find his brother. He needed to at least know he was okay. He needed his brother to be safe.

Good, good, this is really good. I think I finally learned how to make these lines show up on so the readers won't get the notes confused with the story. Like I said, I won't be able to post for some time, so I'm sorry. I'll type a lot during that time, so I'll be able to post a lot when I can do it again.
I hope this chapter wasn't too depressing. I still haven't decided where Mokuba is, yet, but I have decided that no one has hurt him, so he's okay. I think I will put some yaoi, but not much. It's only rated K+ you know, and this is my first fic, so I want it to be real good. I do plan to make my chapters longer, too.
Thank you for the reviews. Flames are always welcome, as always. Now Hungry for a Sandwich will go. See you next chapter!
