Chapter Four
Joey was silent for the entire ride, and so was Kaiba, who was sitting with his ankle crossed at his knee, staring outside the window as the scenery passed by. He looked thoughtful, but still remained silent, and Joey wasn't too sure if he liked that or not. It made things more awkward then they already had to be.
What did Kaiba want with him? What would he ask him to do? And more importantly, what would he do to him if he didn't get it?
Joey sighed, not too sure he could handle having the entire school know he was a girl, but the only thing he could do to prevent it would be to actually be nice to Kaiba for once. Hopefully his demands wouldn't be too far out there that Joey would have trouble with them.
When they arrived at the Kaiba mansion, Joey could only do his best not to stare with his mouth open. He'd seen it before, but never so close or from the inside of the property.
The grass was perfectly cut, no weeds, a garden of colourful flowers and decorative statues made the mean looking steel gates look more friendly to visitors.
Joey didn't have much time to see anything else since the limo pulled into a six car garage, blocking his view of the rest of the house. Kaiba quickly got out, grabbing his arm and dragging him with him.
"Hurry up, Mutt." He commanded.
Joey growled. "I'm not a fucking dog, Kaiba!"
Kaiba didn't stop, but he did tilt his head back to look at him. "You're whatever I say you are as long as I know what you are." He hissed.
Joey blinked, shocked into silence. Why was Kaiba so angry with him? It wasn't like being a girl was any of his business to begin with.
Joey looked around the carpeted and decorated hallways he was being dragged down. Suddenly curious. "Where's Mokuba?" He asked.
"Out, he won't be back for another little bit, we've got the entire house to ourselves." Kaiba said.
Somehow, Joey didn't feel too good with that statement.
Eventually, Kaiba pulled him down another hallway before making a sharp turn and throwing him into a room, following closely behind and locking the door.
Joey could instantly tell it was Kaiba's room. Just from all the personal objects that were scattered around. A desk with pictures on it, book shelf filled with books. Not encyclopaedia's, but actual reading books. A cd player and a laptop. The carpet was blue and so were the sheets on his bed. Joey figured it had something to do with his Blue Eyes White Dragon obsession, speaking of which, was that a Blue Eyes plushie on his bed?
Kaiba noticed where Joey's eyes had travelled, and he was quick to run over and grab the stuffed dragon, throwing it under his bed and out of Joey's line of sight.
Joey raised an eye at him, but Kaiba only scowled at him before approaching him. Standing less then one foot away and looking him up and down.
Joey fidgeted, not too sure of what he should be doing. "Well? What do you want already?" He asked, trying to form a scowl to send back at him.
"Take off your shirt."
Joey blinked. "What?"
"Do as I say, Mutt. I need to see it for myself." Kaiba commanded, looking none too pleased with the delay.
Joey sighed, and did as he was told, lifting his shirt and letting it drop to the floor for Kaiba to see the wraps beneath.
The brunet made as if to touch them, but hesitated, looking into Joey's eyes as if asking for permission.
The blonde didn't move, or even look concerned, so Kaiba slowly and very carefully took a piece of the wrap into his hands before undoing it. Breathing hard, as if afraid of what he would see underneath.
Joey wasn't used to being thought of as a young lady, so she didn't have a problem with letting anyone see her chest.
When the bandages fell away, exposing her breasts, Kaiba's breath hitched, and he put a hand over his mouth. "Jesus Christ." He rasped. It really was true.
Kaiba stepped away from her, running his hands through his hair before punching in his wall, and Joey jumped.
"Kaiba... you ok–"
"What the Hell were you thinking!" The CEO roared, storming back up to her until he was screaming directly in her face. "Tell me! What were you thinking!"
Joey cringed away, bracing herself for any sort of attack. "I... I don't know what you're talking about–"
"Bullshit!" Kaiba screamed, grabbing her by the shoulders. Joey was still naked from the waist up, but neither of them seemed to notice. "Was it some kind of joke against me? Was that it?" He demanded.
Joey shook her head. "I really don't know what you're talking about, Kaiba."
"Please," Kaiba pushed her away. "If I had known you were a girl I would have stayed away from you." He said, staring down at her breasts accusingly.
Joey blinked. "What?" She asked, showing no modestly by covering up.
"You're a girl!" Kaiba spat, as though he was the one explaining the concept to her. "All the fights we've been in, every time I threw you down or beat you up..." He shook his head. "All that time you were a fucking female."
Joey crossed her arms, suddenly displeased. "So?" She asked, still using her male voice since the girlish one would most likely be less effective.
Kaiba could only stare at her with wide eyes. "So? So! Are you out of your–" Kaiba stopped, shaking his head. "Tell me Wheeler, would you ever hit a woman?" He asked.
"Of course not!" Joey bristled, insulted with the very notion.
"Well there you have it." Kaiba waved his hand, as if presenting the notion to her, and a lightbulb went off in Joey's head.
"Oh! ...I see." She said, her hands falling down at her sides with the realization.
Kaiba felt guilty for hitting her, even if it was sometimes in self defence. Her, a woman.
"You know, Kaiba, you walked away with a few bruises once in a while too, and it's not like I didn't start some of those fights either." She said, trying to make him feel better.
Kaiba only snorted, pacing around in a circle, fists clenched. "That's not the point." He hissed, suddenly stopping. "Would you put your shirt back on please?" He demanded.
Joey looked down at her chest. "What? Why?" She asked, the male part of her brain telling her that it was okay for her to have her chest exposed, and even then that her breasts were too small to be considered in any sexual way to begin with.
Kaiba did not seem to share her train of thought. "Do I really need to explain it to you? Just do as I say."
Joey shrugged, and did as she was told, bending down to pick up her shirt, deciding to leave out the bandages since she didn't feel like reapplying them so many times in one day. Somehow, doing that in front of Kaiba would have been more embarrassing then taking off her top in front of him. Kaiba's eyes following her every movements with intense concentration.
When she was fully covered again, Kaiba walked up to her, looking over her face and doing his best to keep his eyes away from Joey's now more obvious chest.
With her breasts now easily seen through her shirt, Kaiba couldn't help but notice that she did indeed resemble something of a female.
Kaiba shook his head. "I cannot believe I never noticed." He mumbled for the second time.
Joey bristled. "Would you stop looking at me like that!" She yelled.
Kaiba blinked down at her. "Like what?" He asked.
"Like some kind of experiment!"
Kaiba promptly looked away from her. "Oh... sorry." He said, having trouble figuring out how he should be dealing with the situation. He went and sat on his bed, feeling he would keel over if he didn't.
"So tell me, why pretend to be a boy?" Kaiba asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Joey demanded, crossing her arms.
Kaiba sneered. "Because I think I have a right to know why you've been tricking me into fighting a woman for so long, now just tell me already!"
Joey rubbed her face with her hand. Where was she going to start with something like that? She knew it started with Tristan, but it wasn't completely his doing. It was just... survival.
"When I was twelve, I walked into an alley, and a bunch of guys tried to rape me," She started.
Kaiba leaned forward, instantly intrigued. "What happened?" He asked.
Joey smiled at the memory. "Tristan came and chased them away. That was the day we first met, you know." She said, and Kaiba nodded his head, listening intently.
"Anyway, after that he offered to teach me how to defend myself, in case something like that ever happened again."
"Did it?" Kaiba asked.
Joey shook her head. "Not at first. They tried again a while later, and I only just barely got away, so Tristan came up with the idea that I should... well you know, dress like a boy to keep them from recognising me again." She explained.
"And it lasted this long?"
"Well," Joey scratched her head. "It wasn't supposed to, but eventually I just sort of, got into the habit of being like this. I felt safer, no guys were staring or whistling at me. I liked it." She said, trying to shrug it off as nothing.
Kaiba gave her a questioning look. "You felt safer running around in a gang, robbing convenience stores and carrying weapons?" He asked, crossing his arms.
Joey tensed. "It wasn't like that, I had Tristan with me, and those weapons were only used in my self defence." She said, a panic in her voice.
"Then what was with the convenience stores?" Kaiba asked, trapping her.
Joey squirmed with guilt. "They were... spur of the moment type things. They didn't happen often." She said, guiltily explaining her actions, as if Kaiba was her judge and jury.
To her surprise, he didn't berate her further, he just looked at her with a calm sort of understanding. "Okay, I get it then, but I just wish you would have just left me the Hell alone. You were... ARE a girl, and you've done nothing but push my buttons since the day I met you–"
"You started just as many fights as me!" Joey yelled in outrage.
"So what! You... you knew how bad we fought, and you still..." Kaiba stood on his feet, unable to say anymore.
Joey narrowed her eyes at him. "You're just as much to blame for those fights, and you know it. So don't get all mad at me just because you can't take this." She hissed.
"Be that as it may, puppy dog, I still own you. After all the bullshit you put me through, not to mention your attack on my balls, I still have some serious payback to ensure." Kaiba hissed back, not missing a beat.
Joey gulped. "Like what?" She asked.
Kaiba tapped his chin. "When was the last time you went out in public as a woman?"
Joey tensed, she was sure she wasn't going to like this at all.
"Well?" Kaiba demanded, impatient as ever.
Joey blushed. "Two years ago. I needed to stock up on pads since people were givin' me weird looks for buying them as a boy–"
"Alright! Jesus, don't tell me shit like that!" Kaiba yelled, horrified and now covering his ears with the palms of his hands.
Joey grinned, feeling she'd somehow scored a few points in her never ending battle with the brunet.
Kaiba shook his head, disgusted before marching out of the room, mumbling a "be right back" before he left.
So Joey was left alone, waiting. She wasn't too sure what she was waiting for, so she decided that she did wait she might as well go into the connecting bathroom to reapply her wraps. Her breasts weren't so big that she needed a bra to keep them lifted, but it felt better then having them sitting there on her chest like that, so when she walked out of the bathroom, she felt more like a he again.
Joey walked around aimlessly, pulling Kaiba's Blue Eyes plushie out from under the bed to have a look. It was actually kind of cute in a mean looking way, and he couldn't help but wonder why Kaiba would want to hide it from anyone.
Joey placed the plushie back on its rightful place on the bed before going to examine the complex looking stereo system. A nagging voice in the back of his head screamed at him to start pressing the buttons, but just as he got his finger ready to do just that, Kaiba burst through the door again, a long black cloth of some type folded around his arm.
"You touch that and you're dead." He threatened.
Joey glared at him for ruining his fun, but said nothing else as he backed away from Kaiba's precious stereo. Growling.
His growl slowly turned into a stunned whine as he watched Kaiba take hold of the black material around his arm and hold it up for him to see.
It was a black evening gown.
Joey pointed at it, his hand shaking. "Wha... what the Hell is that?"
Kaiba looked down from where he held it at the straps. "I think it would be obvious, Mutt." He taunted.
Joey continued to stare. "What are you doing with it?" He asked.
Kaiba gave a tired sigh, tossing it to him to catch. "Two days from now, you and I will be going out. You are to get ready and wear that. Two days should be enough time for you to prepare, right?"
"Well, I guess so..." Joey had started to answer, but then reality struck him. "What! You mean this?" He asked, holding up the dress at an arms length, as if he were afraid it would bite him.
Kaiba crossed his arms. "Yes, I mean that." He stated, pulling out his cell phone and hitting the speed dial.
"Yes, have the limo ready out front, my guest is ready to leave." He said, barely giving the driver on the other line a chance to respond before hanging up on him.
Joey blinked, still holding the dress when Kaiba began shoving him towards the door.
"Hey! Wait a minute! I didn't agree to anything!" He shouted over his shoulder at the CEO.
Kaiba purred in his ear. "Of course you did, now you either make sure you look your best the day after tomorrow, or I start hanging out flyers of you all around the school for everyone to see." Just for good measure, but also to scare him, Kaiba grabbed his chin and kissed him. He brought his hand up to touch his breasts through his shirt, but made a noise of displeasure when he found them to be wrapped up again.
Joey didn't mind though, his mind had gone to mush when Kaiba kissed him... or rather her... or... ah forget it, he wasn't even too sure what he was anymore, so he continued to let Kaiba massage his lips and touch his body until he pulled away.
Joey's eyes remained closed for a few more seconds longer until he opened them to see large liquid blue eyes staring down at him. Kaiba wasn't smiling at him or anything, but he wasn't sneering either. He just looked... calm.
"You know where the front door is, you can lead yourself out." Kaiba said, shoving him out the bedroom door and slamming it after him. Joey jumped at the sound, running for the exit and seeing the driver of the limo holding the door open for him, he jumped inside and didn't make a sound until he got home.
When he did arrive at his apartment, Joey had to hide the dress under his shirt from his father before throwing it into his room and locking the door. His old man seemed to be fast asleep at the TV, which was good, since he needed to make a long distance phone call.
The phone rang twice before his mother picked up.
"Hey ma, is Serenity there?"
