Chapter 11: The father

"I wonder where my dad is...Oh well!" Joey said excidedly.

Seto just looked at him. He didn't know how to respond to that.

Joey smiled. "Want food?"

Seto jumped up and down. "Food! Food!" he shouted.

Joey smiled. He suddenly went into a good mood. If Seto didn't have such a doggie mind he would have considered it was bipoler. (?)

Seto stopped jumping and looked at something.

Joey noticed. "What is it?"

Seto just stared.

"Hey, what's wron-"

"SH!" Seto warned. "You'll scare it."

Joey just stared at him when all of a sudden, Seto started to chase his tail shouting "I'm gonna get cha!! I'm gonna get cha!!"

Joey laughed at this and went into the kitchen t omake dinner. He didn't have dog food or maybe he did. He couldn't remember if he bought any. (Neither can I) And he was too lazy to check or even try to remember. (So am I...) So he just got some of the left overs he had. Which consisted of chinese slash Macdonalds.

He made two plates. One smaller for Seto of course considering he was a dog.

All of a sudden, the doorknob started to turn.

Seto, being a dog, began to bark.

"No!" Joey cried. He clamped a hand over Seto's snout and picked him up leaving the dishes of food out. He ran to his bedroom and slamed the door shut.

"SHH." He told Seto. "Be quiet now."

Seto listened and heard grunting. With his ears it sounded as if he was right next to him. And it sounded like he was drunk.

"Where are you boy?" He heard a man say.

Joey stayed silent.

"Ah." he heard the man say as if he had given up on something. "Wouldn't be surprized if he was gone. The little bastard. I hope he is gone!"

Seto heard crashing. Something broke. Sounded like a beer bottle.

Then he heard the door slam.

Joey sighed. "Whew. That was close."

Seto stared wide eyed at him. "Is he like that all the time?"

Joey nodded. "Yeah he is. But please, don't tell anyone. Noone needs to know about this."

Seto just stared. "Maybe someone should know about this. What about your mother? Can't you live with her?"

Joey shook his head. "Noone needs to know about this."

He got up and walked to the door and unlocked it. He went out.

Seto was ready to follow him and he relized Joey didn't answer his question. What about his mom?

Seto shurgged it off and ran after him. He didn't want to presue the question. But he made a reminder to himself to get Joey's dad some help when he got out of this body.

He walked around the shards of glass. He was right. A broken beer bottle.

He'd his share of family issues with Gozoburo but he never hid in his room with the door locked. He always stood up to him or at least tryed to. he knew Gozoburo would never do much damage to him as to not ruin his reputation. Think about the headlines. 'Major CEO hurts poor helpless kid.' But then, who would even glance twice at a kid with no real social stabilty. Sure there was his friends and that would be great but there was really nothing they could do.

Seto sighed. he then went into the kitchen where Joey set down the plate of food. "Here you go. Eat."

Seto smiled and ate.
