Disclaimer- I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, a'rite?
Okay first off, thanks to all who reviewed once again!
Especially lilrubydevil, ChibiSmiles, DreamCherry66 and SerenityMeoweth.
I still feel so honoured to be getting reviewed by my favourite author, lilrubydevil, she's such an amazing author, and she's reviewing me! (Jumps up and down cheering happily)
Now, ChibiSmiles, another great author with the best stories! Thank you soooo much for reviewing me also!
All you guys are the best!
Okay, next, I should tell you, I'm suffering from slight writers-block, and also I'm entering my Fourth Year of High school tomorrow, which is like kinda a big thing for me, so I might take a little longer to update- but don't worry! I've recently figured out a way to keep up with my homework and still write my stories- write the latest Chapters during French! Heh, well it's not like French will ever make a difference to my life much, (no offence to anyone who's like French or anything, lol.)
Missing you tons- can't wait to see you again sometime big bro! Serenity xx
Jou sighed heavily, switching his mobile phone off, (which was one of the few items his Father hadn't pawned for alcohol money yet,) "I miss ya so much Seren…" he whispered to himself, images of his beautiful little sister flashing in his mind.
Jou had woken up extra early that day, packed, washed and changed, before making a speedy exit from the crappy flat he was forced to call home, of course that meant he was over an hour early for School, but that didn't really matter to him, at least he was safe for the while.
He aimlessly wandered around the streets, most people would have a slight fear at walking around such a rough area, but when you grow up in the place, you get used to it, and anything that you see or hear- you learn to ignore.
He was unsure where to go for the while, he still had an hour before the School actually opened, and he knew all his friends would be fast asleep, plus he didn't want to be a burden to them either, so what would he do?
He at least knew that there was no chance whatsoever of him returning home- not with his Father there, hopefully his Father would be in the middle of a hang-over right now, so he wouldn't really notice the lack of his son's presence in the house.
Jou paused, glancing around the area, Where should I go?
Suddenly, he grinned in his typical cocky-yet-humorous way, realising the perfect place to stay for the while, "The Park!" he cheered, it was perfectly safe there considering it was on the borderline between the two sides of Domino, plus no one hardly ever went there in the morning, so he would be left in peace if he were to stay there for the hour.
So, following his decision he gradually made his way towards the Park, although as he walked it felt like he was being weighed down on one side, which didn't help considering when he had returned home last night, his Father happened to have a few of his 'friends' over, and painfully kicked him in the leg as punishment for bothering them, leaving the golden haired boy with a slight limp.
He stopped, shaking his head, he was starting to get a little dizzy and seemed to be losing his balance also, he knew why he was experiencing this- it was due to the loss of sleep, but he forced himself on, ignoring the warnings his body was sending out to him.
When he eventually reached the park, he choose to sit on the same bench he had last night, although when he spotted the bench, his eyes widened in shock and disgust.
The bench was covered in drops of blood, mainly on the left side Jou noted, he frowned, sitting down beside the blood before realising it had been his blood from the night before, "Dammit…" he cursed.
He decided to ignore the blood, taking time to think over the more important things in his life at the moment.
What do I do…? I can't keep leaving early, hiding away and hoping that Dad will never find me… One of these days he's gonna find me again, and he's gonna hit me even worse than before… Not that I'm not had worse before, but… I just… I don't want to have to hide all the blood, cuts, bruises and scars… I don't want to have them in the first place… I just want a normal life, why did Mom have to leave? Everything was so perfect and great before she took Serenity away from me… But then she ruined everything… Everything…
He held his head in his hands, continuing to run over all the hurtful thoughts in his mind, "Well, at least I'll get ta see all ma friends at School in a while…" he paused, blushing slightly, "And Seto…"
Seto groaned irritably, he had been called out early to an apparent 'emergency', but when he reached the problem, he had then been told it was all sorted and fine, of course this made Seto furious, so in his anger he fired a couple of employees, ordered around the rest, before growling as he made his way up to his office.
"Useless… Pathetic… Talk about mutts… Better doing it myself…" he muttered as he entered his office, he groaned, taking a seat on his plush leather chair before massaging the bridge of his nose.
He switched his Computer on, but as he waited for it to boot, memories from the previous night started emerging in the brunet's mind, Why did the mutt have so many bruises on him? How did he get them?
He frowned, his eyes concentrating on his paper-covered desk for a moment, before glancing back at the Computer- he had made his decision, he would ask the mutt about it, simple as that, sure it might take a lot of 'persuasion' to get the blonde to talk back to him, but Kaiba was ready for it, he had recently thought up of a few new insults to shoot back at the other boy.
He smirked, silently praising himself for his latest quips, "The mutt better be ready…"
Apologises for the shortness of the Chapter, and lack of anything interesting happening in it, but like I said earlier, I've got slight writers-block, which doesn't help any.
Please read and review, thank you very much!
