IS-And I just got this because I've been sick too. Lousy virus…-grumbles-
Chapter 5- Leaving the hospital
Jou waved good-bye to Mokuba as he and Seto walked out. 'Thank God.' Jou thought as
the door shut. 'Now I can get some rest.' Jou flopped down on the bed and winced in
pain. "I'm never going to get used to this. At least I get to go home tomorrow.
Well, not home, but out of here." Jou stated out loud.
Jou closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
----15 minutes later ----
Anzu walked down the hospital hallway with a wrapped up box on he way to Jou's room.
'God, how I don't want to do this. I don't want to see that loser mutt. But I need
to get on Yami's good side and since Jou is Yami's friend he will be my friend too.'
She stopped in front of the door and sighed as she knocked on the door. "Jou,
Hello?" Anzu opened the door the see Jou sleeping. "Awwww, Jou wake up. I came to
see you." She whined at Jou.
Jou opened one of his eyes and quickly closed it again pretending to be asleep. Anzu
sighed and put the box down on the table next to his bed. "I'll just leave this here
then and you open in when you wake up." She wrote "from Anzu" on the box then
quickly walked out.
As Anzu was walking away she walked past Seto who was on his way to see Jou. "Kaiba?
What are you doing here? Is Mokuba sick or something?" She asked stopping him in the
hall.
"No. Now if you'll excuse me I have somewhere I'd rather be." Seto replied and
continued walking away.
"Wait. You're not here to see Jou are you?"
"Yes I am, now if you please I have to go."
"But I thought you hated the stupid Mutt." Anzu said bluntly.
"Is that any of your business? No." Seto said coldly and walked into Jou's room.
Anzu glared at the door then walked away.
---- In Jou's room ----
Jou sat up and picked up the gift Anzu left. "Is it ticking?" Seto asked walking in
making Jou jump.
"No. But I'm not sure if I should open it or not." Jou said shaking the box. "Then
might be an evil monster in it and when I open the box it will jump out and eat me."
Seto laughed and took the box from Jou and sitting down on the chair. "Well then
I'll open it for you." He said ripping at the paper.
"Seto wait-" But it was open before he could stop him. Inside the box was a stuffed
mutt with a little sign saying: 'Will dance for food.' Seto laughed and Jou glared
at him. "It's not funny!" Jou whined. "Because of you now my friends have started to
call me a mutt. Bastard." Jou crossed his arms and pouted.
"Aw, come on it's the thought that counts." Seto smirked and tossed Jou the toy.
"You have to admit it is cute."
Jou picked up the stuffed animal and put it on the table. "Well then. I need you to
do something for me." Jou said turning serious. "I need you to go to my house and
get my stuff. I made out a list of everything I need. It's just the basic stuff."
Jou said handing Seto the list. I'm also going to need my money. It is in a box that
is behind a loose tile in the bathroom. It's over the tub, left hand corner five up
from the bottom. The key is taped on the top of the ceiling fan that is in my room."
Jou finished and Seto nodded.
"I'll go over tonight and get everything."
Jou smiled. "Oh, and bring like a body guard or something. I don't want you getting
hurt or something." Seto smirked. "Well I-its not like I care or anything. Its just
Mokuba will get upset." Jou said quickly.
"Okay what ever you say. I need to go. I'll get you stuff then I need to get to
work. Bye" Seto said getting up and walking to the door.
"Bye." Jou waved then lay back down to sleep.
---- At Jou's house ----
Seto pulled up to the apartment Jou lived in and parked his car. "Now you guys wait
by the door while I get the stuff. I'll call you if I need anything." The two men
nodded and they got out. Seto and the two men walked up the apartment door and Seto
unlocked it using the key hidden under a dead plant.
Seto walked into the darkened apartment and almost gagged at the smell. It was a
cross between mold and beer. 'How could Jou live here?' Seto turned on the light and
saw a fat man on the couch asleep. Seto's anger flared at the sight of the man.
Seto walked past the couch and down a small hallway. There were two doors next to
each other. Seto opened on and found the bathroom. He walked in and looked around.
To the left was a linen closet. It was halfway off the hinges and the towels lay
scattered on the floor. To the right the toilet, sink, and medicine cabinet. The
mirror was cracked with pieces missing and there was dried blood on it. The missing
pieces where scattered on the floor covered in dry blood. Across from the door was
the bathtub. It looked fine.
Seto quickly walked over to the tub and fond the lose tile. He pried it up and took
out the box. It was small and black with a 4 letter combination and key lock. (A/N:
Yes it a letter combination. >. Like a number one but with letters instead. So you
can spell out a word or something. Hehe.) 'This is and expansive cash box. He must
have spent a lot on it.' Seto picked up the box then quickly strolled out.
Seto walked into the room next to the bathroom and looked around. To the left there
was a desk with a chair, a bookcase, and a door. Seto assumed it lead to the closet.
To the right was a small bed. On the floor were papers, books, pencils, pens, and
other things. The bed was cut up with a knife and stuffing to a pillow was scattered
about. On the wall and floor across from the door was a large blood splatter.
Seto scowled at the sight. 'How could Jou live here for so long with out saying
something?' He asked himself as he pulled out the list and started to get everything
together. He picked up the books on the list and pilled them on the bed. Then he got
the notebooks Jou wanted.
"Okay green and red notebooks. Here they are." Seto put them on the bed. "Okay all I
need now is the black notebook and his clothes then I'm done here." Seto quickly
found the black notebook and put it in the pile.
He walked over to the closet door and opened it. All of Jou clothes where on the
floor. Seto picked up a shirt to find it cut into rags. "What the fuck? What
happened to all his clothes?" Seto looked though the torn clothes and found boxers,
2 shirts, and a pair of black jeans. Seto put them on the bed and got out an old
duffle bag from the closet and put the stuff neatly in it.
Seto then got the chair by the desk and put it under the ceiling fan. He then stood
on the chair and looked on the blades of the fan. After finding the key he pulled it
up and jumped down slipping the key in his pocket. Seto grabbed the bad then walked
out of the room and out if the apartment.
---- Next day ----
Jou sat up and took the little dog from the table. "I can't believe she gave me a
stuffed dog." Jou sighed out loud while pulling on the little sign. Jou pulled at
the sign until it came of. 'Oops... Crap now I broke it.' Jou put the dog and sign
down on the table and started at the door. 'Seto should be here soon to pick me up.'
Jou closed his eyes and waited and soon the door opened. "You're late you know that
right?" Jou looked up and saw two police officers standing there. Oh, I thought you
where someone else... What do you need?" Jou asked looking at the officers confused.
"My name is Jennifer. This is Lai. We just need to ask some questions about your
injuries that all." One of them said. She walked in and sat down on the chair. Then
she pulled out a small notebook.
"Um... Okay but can we hurry? I'm leaving in a little while."
"Of course. Now who attacked you?" Lai said as he leaned against the wall.
"Um…" Jou said closing his eyes. "M-my dad." Jou opened his eyes.
Jennifer looked up and then wrote something down. "Okay. What happened?"
Jou closed his eyes again and replayed the day in his head. He quickly opened his
eyes and shook his head. "No. No I don't want to remember." Jou brought his knees up
under his chin and rested his chin on them.
"Please. Can you remember anything?" The lady cop asked placing a hand on his
shoulder. "Anything will help."
Jou closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I came home from work. And bumped into
him. I fell on some broken beer bottles and ran into kitchen. I tried to get out the
back door... And it was stuck... Dad came up behind me and…" Jou stopped and took a
deep breath again then continued. " He stabbed me in the shoulder. I hit him over
the head with a beer bottle then kicked him and ran away." Jou opened his eyes and
looked down at his feet.
"Thanks for your help Katsuya." Jennifer said getting up.
"Wait." Jou said and looked at Jennifer. "This was a waste of time because I'm not
pressing charges."
The cop stopped at stared at him. "Why?"
"Well… He is my father. He used to be a good guy. Before mom left. Then everything
changed. He is just unhappy. He got all depressed and shit. It's not his fault. I
want him to get better, not worse. Jail won't do him any good." Jou stated.
"But what we could do is give him 5 years in a halfway house." Lai said from where
he was standing. "There he will get help for his alcohol problems. The he will be
able to get parole if he is ready. If not he will stay from another year or more
until he is ready to rejoin society. After that he will have to go to weekly
meetings with other alcoholics."
"Is that okay with you?" The lady cop asked and Jou nodded. "Good we will go pick
him up. If all goes well if a few days this will all be over. We have to go now.
Bye."
"Bye." Jou waved and the cops left.
---- 5 minutes later ----
"Jou I have some bad news." Seto said walking in.
"What? No hello, Jou how you doing?" Jou smiled. "So what's your news?"
"Well you father went crazy while you where gone and tore apart your room. I found
everything except for most of your clothes. All that was left was a pair boxers, 2
shirts, and a pair of jeans." Seto said throwing the boxers, one of the shirts, and
the jeans at Jou. "Tomorrow I'll take you shopping for new clothes. Now hurry up and
get dressed. I'll be waiting out side." Seto waved and walked out as Jou shook his
head.
Jou quickly got up and fell back down. "Owies." Jou got up more slowly and took of
the hospital gown. He quickly get dressed and walked to the door. Well, as fast as
someone who hasn't walked for three days could go. "Crap. I forgot the dog."
Jou turned back and walked slowly to the table and picked up the stuffed animal and
his sign. Jou then walked to the door and opened it. "Okay Seto I'm ready."
"Good" Seto said as he walked quickly down the hall. Jou had to jog the keep up with
him.
"Oi, slow down."
"I thought mutts were fast. I guess I was wrong."
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not a dog!" Jou said as they came up to
the elevator.
Seto pushed the down button and waited as the doors opened and they got in with two
other people. Jou shifted his weight as he waited. The elevator stopped and they got
out. "So… Hm…" Jou said as the walked out the front doors to the waiting limo.
Seto opened the door and got in gracefully and Jou fell in landing on his stomach.
"Very graceful mutt." Seto smirked as Jou straightened himself on the seat.
"Shut it jerk."
"Bad dog." Seto said flicking Jou on the nose. "Speak only when you master tells you
to."
"You're not my master and I'm not a fucking dog. Get that thought your thick skull!"
Jou yelled angrily at Seto. He smiled and pulled Jou onto his lap. "What the hell do
you think your doing? Let me-"
Jou stopped as Seto pressed his lips against Jou's. Jou quickly closed his eyes and
started to kiss back without meaning to. Seto nibbled on Jou's bottom lip and Jou
opened his mouth. Seto's tongue entered Jou mouth and his and Jou's tongue fought
for dominance until Jou gave up, letting Seto take over. Jou wrapped his arms around
Seto's neck and tilted his head back. Jou sucked on Seto's tongue and Seto moaned.
Jou smiled and did it again getting and louder moan. Then they pulled away for air.
Seto smirked and Jou panted with his eyes still closed. Jou put his head on Seto's
shoulder.
"Good boy." Seto whispered.
"Jerk."
