Wow this took a long time my dumb brother stole the motherboard out of my computer!

On to chapter 6 sorry for the wait!

-

Kaiba walked in the house only to be tackled to the ground by his little brother. Joey muffled a laugh at the sight of Kaiba who was lying on the ground holding his head.

"I was worried about you! Where were you?" Mokuba asked looking a lot like a frantic mother.

"I left you a note, I was with Joey" He said pointing at the blonde who was still standing in the door way.

"Oh.." he said suspiciously, "You never go out with your friends. I'm glad to see you're having fun. I told you coming here was just what you needed!" he waved running back to his friends. Joey looked at him biting back the laughter threatening to escape him. Kaiba stared at him confused.

"What!" he spat.

Joey shrugged his shoulders "Is that your mom?" he asked sarcastically laughing.

"You know jokes are supposed to be funny to someone other than yourself." He said smirking trying to pretend he didn't think Joey was funny. "You want to, take look around?" he asked forgetting how stereotypically western his house was.

"Of course I would!" Joey said grabbing the other boys hand, and walking over to the stairs. "Upstairs?" he asked happily. Kaiba nodded leading the boy up the stairs happily. They came to the first room, Mokuba's room.

"This is Mokie's room," he said opening the door to the western room. There was a blue sky with clouds and buffalos standing in the grass painted on the walls, the floor was carpeted in Astroturf, much to Kaiba's protest. His bed was shaped like a covered wagon and had a pots hanging from the white room canopy. His computer was camouflaged as a tree.. Kaiba sighed looking around the room his cheeks burning slightly.

"You guys really.. uh, went all out." Joey said looking around liking the room, but wondering how come an eleven year old got such a cool room and he didn't.

"He insisted, I can't say no to him, that's why were here in the first place." He said looking down holding the bridge of his nose shaking his head at the Astroturf.

"What does your room look like?" Joey asked trying to figure out how great his room was going to be if the kids looked like this.

"We're almost to my room." He said closing Mokuba's door and opening the bathroom door. To reveal a Jacuzzi bathtub with a watering hole landscape with horses painted so it looked like they were drinking out of it. They had plants placed around the tub to make it look like they were growing out of it.

"….." Joey's mouth was wide open looking around the bathroom, "why?" he asked playing with one of the plants.

"Ask Mokuba.." Kaiba said sighing and shrugging his shoulders. Joey laughed following him out of the bathroom and to a set of double doors at the end of the hall. "This.. is my room," he said opening the doors to reveal a a bedroom painted to look like a meadow, the plush carpet was grass green and a single deer was painted next to the desk. On the opposite side of the room was his bed, a huge four-post bed crafted to look like a fallen tree. Next to the bed, was a fireplace designed to look like a campfire. The wall of the bathroom door was covered in trees. The door was painted like a gate and when you opened it, the bathroom was designed to resemble some enchanted mid-night forest. The walls were dark blue with stars and tiny fairies painted sparingly around the room.

Joey looked up at Kaiba then looked back around the room. "Mokuba, again?" he asked smiling up at him. Kaiba nodded. He could care less what his room looked like he never usually spent time in it, but he had to admit he kind of liked having such a mellow room. His room at home was more stuffy and uptight. This wasn't good for everyday life, but it made for a nice vacation spot. Joey laughed sitting down on the bed, Kaiba sat down next to him pressing a button and starting the fire. He pressed another button that made the wall turn to reveal a huge entertainment center.

"What do you do?" Joey asked wondering how someone so young could have so much. "Did you inherit some empire?"

"You could say that.." Kaiba said smirking. "I'm the CEO of Kaiba corp. my stepfather left it to me." he shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing and turned on the TV putting his arm around the other boy. Joey smiled and nuzzled into the other boy's chest. Kaiba rested his head onto Joey's sighing. He kissed the top of his head. "What do you want to watch?" he asked petting his hair. Joey shrugged his shoulders happily laying down resting his head in the other boys lap. The smiled happily and laid down next to him and cuddled him close. Joey smiled happily watching the news his eyes getting heavy. He fell asleep in Seto's arms content.

Seto was almost asleep when the news revealed a problem at Kaiba Corp. the stocks were dropping. Kaiba was furious. He knew he shouldn't have left someone else in charge of his company. If you wanted something done right you had to do it yourself that's what he always told himself. He gently put Joey on the bed and got up going over to his desk. He called the company, a secretary with a nasally voice told him that the acting CEO was not available. He started to yell, he couldn't handle incompetence. He simple explained he was Seto Kaiba and would like to speak to Mr. Leland. She apologized sending him through to the meeting.

He spent two hours on the phone before he was finally convinced that they could handle it and he should stay in Texas and not come into the office, they knew if he came back early someone was going to lose their job. Seto finally crawled back into bed. Joey rubbed his eyes looking up at him trying to see what was the matter.

"It's nothing.." he whispered kissing his forehead and pulling him close to him. "Go back to sleep." Joey yawned and fell back to dreamland. It wasn't so easy for Seto on the other hand he lie there stroking Joey's head trying to fall asleep. Eventually exhaustion claimed him and he fell asleep around 6:00 in the morning.

Kaiba woke up the next day around noon, but when he reached for Joey all he found was a note on his pillow.

I went to feed the animals and milk old Bessie. Meet me at the stadium around 2:00 3 Joey

p.s: sorry I couldn't stay,

Kaiba sighed looking over at his alarm clock and getting up to take a shower. When he was done he came back and turned on the news. He went the bathroom to brush his teeth. Then he heard more bad news from Kaiba Corp. coming from the TV. He walked out to the TV toothbrush in his mouth shaking his head annoyed and turned it off deciding to ignore it.

He went to meet Joey at the Stadium his hair still wet. Joey jumped off of his horse and ran over to him.

"Hey Cowboy," he said ruffling the boys wet hair. "Just wake up?" Kaiba nodded yawning. Joey kissed his nose "Time to wake up we have a lot of work to do!" he said bouncing.

"What do you mean?" Kaiba asked scared.

"The show last night, there was a scout there. He wants you to be in the State Competition!" Joey said hugging. Kaiba on the other hand had mixed feeling about the news he knew he couldn't be the best in the state, but he'd never admit that so he knew he needed to train hard.

"When is this competition?" he asked suspiciously tilting his head.

"In a week." He answered nonchalantly. "Don't worry you'll be great,… with my help of course!"

"Then I better start practicing." Kaiba said faking enthusiasm.

The two of them spent all their time together those week either training or just playing around, they went fishing with kids, camping by the river and even went to the bar a couple of time. Kaiba was having a great time and so was Joey. The two boys were falling in love not that either would admit it to the other they were both to stubborn. Kaiba woke up a few days before the competition thinking it was going to be another fun day in Texas. He was mistaken he walked down to the living room to find His right hand man Leland sitting in his living room nervously wringing his hands.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in his usually icy tone.

"I'm sorry Mr. Kaiba we need you to come in to the office, I need your help I don't know how you handle the pressure.." he said afraid he was going to get fired.

"Let me get changed." Kaiba said going up stairs annoyed packing some things.

Joey was supposed to meet Kaiba that morning they only had a few more days to train and Kaiba was doing great, but he needed a little more practice. He decided today was the day he was going to tell Kaiba how, much he really cared for him. He packed them a picnic and stuck it in his beat up old truck and headed off to the Kaiba place. He went to the house to find it empty. He found a not on Seto's bedroom door.

I won't be able to make it to the competition, I'm sorry. I have a duty to my company and they need me, I hate to go, I love you Joey, I'll call you. You can use the house or my truck or anything, if you want. Love Always Kaiba

Ps. Tell Serenity and the other's Noah and Mokuba say goodbye and they will miss you all.

Joey took the note off the door sadly and walked out of the house almost crying. He went home hoping to get a call from Kaiba and sat in his room holding the phone until, his father called wondering why they weren't practicing today.

"Seto's gone." Joey said trembling.

"What do you mean?"

"He had to go home."

"I'm sorry.. You want anything?"

"No bye dad."

"Bye, Joey"

Joey made a plan to get Seto back, he would tell him how much he loved him on live television. If that didn't bring him back he didn't know what would. He got his friends together to help him and when Seto called he made him promise to watch the Competition on TV.

The night of the competition Kaiba was in his office with his brothers watching the competition on live satellite feed. During a break Joey came on in the middle of the arena with a few of his friends and the younger kids.

"A very good friend of mine was supposed to be in the show tonight, but something came up. Seto Kaiba, this is for you!"

Bowling for soup came out of a gate and started singing with Joey, Come back to Texas."

"So when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you...

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway"

Soon the whole crowd was standing and singing along.

Serenity held up a sign "I WANT YOU BACK!"

"Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
and the Bush twins want you back
and Pantera wants you back
and Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway"

Mokuba looked up at Seto pouting "Now can we go back."

"What about Kaiba Corp.?" Seto asked sadly

"Move it!" Noah burst "You're the Damn CEO make a new headquarters! You can afford it."

"You're right Noah were going back!" Seto said packing his briefcase and calling for the jet to be readied.
