Seto sighed heavily as the ringing of his cell phone became louder with each passing second, "Can't ever get a break… Useless employees… Being fired might shut them up…" were some of the odd little comments he mumbled under his breath, "Kaiba here, what is it?" he demanded angrily, and people wondered why he was so thin and pale, he never got a chance to eat anything!
"I'm sorry sir, but I thought I better tell you that Kaiba Corp's sales have increased by two points," a voice nervously responded on the other side of the line.
"Right okay, keep it that way," Kaiba grumbled before abruptly ending the call and continuing with his lunch.
All he had for his lunch was a box of cold pasta and a apple, but lunchtime always seemed like too much of a chore for the young CEO, he had much more important things to be seeing to, rather than eating, but of course he'd never hear the end of it if Mokuba were to find out he didn't eat.
He glared at the box of pasta, before pushing it aside and placing his laptop on the table, "Mokuba never needs to know…" he said to himself quietly, switching his beloved laptop on and continuing with his work for the day- there was never a shortage of work for the boy-genius.
At the next table, Jou watched the brunette attentively, "Doesn't he ever get tired or exhausted?" he wondered out loud, not completely realising he has said it aloud.
"Who never gets tired or exhausted?" Yugi blinked curiously yet innocently.
"Huh?" Jou raised an eyebrow, before realising his error of speaking aloud, he rapidly shrugged it off and gave the shorter boy an explanation, "Kaiba, the guy works all day, he never eats, or not that I have seen anyway, he just types away on that damn piece of metal; surprised his fingers haven't fallen off yet…"
"Why would you care?" Tristan raised an eyebrow in perplexity; "Normally you're screaming insults at him from down the hall, now you're worrying over his health?"
At this, Jou jumped up, his eyes ablaze with furious flames, "I AM NOT WORRYING OVER HIM!"
Tristan shrank back down into his seat, nodding continuously, "…Okay, fair enough man…" he whimpered pathetically.
Suddenly, everything started spinning for the young blonde, as his eyesight grew blurry and his balance was quickly lost. He tilted over, falling down instantly and landing painfully against the ground, but gritting his teeth in order to hold back the scream of pain.
"Joey!" Tea called out in worry, jumping out of her seat and running over to the fallen blonde; a concerned Yugi and a confused Tristan quickly followed after her.
"Hey buddy, you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wind ya up?" Tristan questioned worriedly, lifting Jou's head up slightly in an attempt to make him more comfortable after his dramatic fall.
"I-It's okay Trist, it wasn't you… I'm just a lil'… tired…" Jou replied weakly, this definitely wasn't good; he had gotten so tired he could barely stand anymore!
"I'll get the Matron, she can take you home so you can get some rest," Tea suggested.
Jou's eyes shot wide open; he shook his head, "NO! No, I'm fine, honestly, don't worry about me guys!" he joked about, weakly pulling himself up, he was trying to make himself look like he was fine but the stumbling as he stood didn't help much, "Like I said, I'm fine, I just need a little more sleep, and I'll get that in class, kay?"
"Okay, if you say so Jou," Yugi sighed, sitting back down and finishing off his lunch.
Tea remained suspicious but also continued with her food, leaving a very alert and concerned Tristan, he had to find out what was wrong with his buddy, lately he had been acting so strange…
Seto frowned, this had gotten out of hand, he needed to talk to Jounouchi now and find out what was happening, but as he was about to stand up and walk over to the other table, Jou got up, telling his friends he was off to the bathroom for a few moments.
Jou proceeded along the corridors and hallways before finally reaching one of the boys' toilets; he peeked in noticing there were no other boys in the room before locking the door after him.
He stumbled over to the sinks where he threw his hands down, heavily leaning all his weight down onto the sinks for a little more support as he stood, he winced, the pain in his side had gotten worse after he had fallen.
He lifted his shirt up, frowning at the darker purple bruise; the fall had just made it worse than it had been before…
He stepped back, leaning against the wall before sliding down it and pulling his knees close to his chest, flashbacks entering his mind of the previous day when his father had chucked him out and he had been forced to sleep in a alleyway that night.
A silvery tear ran down his cheek, I can't take this anymore… It's all too much… The pain, the nightmares, the fear… I just want it all to end… I just want to feel safe and happy again… But the way it's going, I don't think I'll ever feel happiness in my life ever again…
He reached into his back pocket pulling out a shining silver blade, he gazed at it in wonder, his eyes sparkling in awe, Maybe this is the answer…? Maybe if I do this then I'll be safe and happy again…?
A second tear ran down his delicate and pale face, "This is the only answer…" he whispered to himself, before slashing the blade across his bare wrist and watching curiously as the thick red liquid poured out of it in a fountain-like action.
He moved to do the second wrist as the tears freely ran down his face now, This is it, this is the end… I'm really gonna die…
Suddenly, the door was smashed off of its hinges as Seto Kaiba burst into the room, he stopped in his tracks as his eyes widened in horror at the sight before him, "Jounouchi!" he called out in fear and worry.
He kneeled down beside the boy, ripping the penknife out of the blonde's hand and throwing it to the other side of the room, he pulled his mobile phone out, speedily dialling in the emergency phone number, "I need an ambulance, NOW! Send it to Domino High School! I have a boy here who's attempted suicide by cutting his wrist, and he's losing a lot of blood!"
He pulled out a tissue (let's just say it's a very big and thick tissue, kay?) and wrapped it around Jou's wrist carefully yet quickly, "Jou, come on, stay with me…"
Jou's eyesight went blurry for the second time that day, he frowned at the misty figure beside him, "Angel…" was all he said before completely fainting and blacking out…
Have I moved this along to quickly? Should I maybe have moved a little slower and taken my time on it? Please review and tell me!
Oh I should add- my writer's block is now gone thanks to DreamCherry66 as she gave me some excellent ideas for the story! All ideas that people suggested were excellent to be completely honest!
One more thing... It's my birthday, yay! I'll tell you all what i got in my next update!
