(Thank you for the great reviews, I feel special ^_^, anyways here's
chapter three, this chapter will start to introduce you to the climax of
the story, it will slowly move into the main idea of this story)
(To give a hint, it's not a fight between Joey and Kaiba believe it or not)
(What happened last time)
Joey was snapped to reality when Tristan fell on top of him, which made him fall off of his chair to the ground.
"Ha I win!" Duke yelled as the image of Joey with swirls in his eyes appeared
"TRISTAN, GET OFF!" Joey yelled from under him
"With pleasure" Tristan grumbled as he pulled himself up and then help Joey up, as Joey was about to sit again when Tristan stopped him.
" Hey Joey, what's that?" Tristan pointed to a certain area on Joey
" What?"
" There on your neck"
Joey's hands rubbed his neck, his eyes went wide when he felt something weird, he quickly ran to the restroom leaving the gang confused.
As he looked into the mirror, he was shocked to see two little bite marks on his neck.
'KAIBA? It was real!!'
--------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Forced Into Darkness
I watched him closely, he seemed so deep in thought, all his troubles I could see in his eyes, but why do I care so much as to what happens to him, it's not like where friends. Darkness clouded around me, leaving me alone in my misery, oh how I wish to live that life of troubles and pains, yet I'm numb, I don't feel anymore.
Kaiba watched as Joey went down his same street, he was slowly heading for his home, to his father. Many times Kaiba had seen Joey's father take out his anger on him, that's why he had not come into contact with the blonde until that night.
At first I was going to just kill him, to get back at everything he had done to me, that stupid Mutt always flaunting himself as a tough guy, and even that night he acted all tough, but I can see that was not the case, and I plan to bring out the scared, unprotected pup that he really is.
Joey opened the broken door to his apartment, he would have went up the same way he escaped this morning, but his father had shut and locked his window, to many times Joey snuck in through his window that his dad caught on rather fast. With a loud and heavy sigh Joey opened the door, he peak in looking around, he relaxed a little when he saw his dad wasn't home, but he knew he would return and he would get it then.
Joey made his way quickly to his room, but when he tried to enter he found that his bedroom was locked from the outside with a key.
'Great now how am I to get in, I'll have to wait until....he comes home'
Joey got a pang of fear at the thought, he quickly looked for anything that would unlock his door, that he might find protection within his bedroom. No such luck.
I watched him fiddle with his bedroom lock from the living room window, I would have attack him there but something else caught my attention, Joey had a look of fear in his eyes, something that told me just to sit back and enjoy the show, but of course I didn't mind cleaning up after it was all said and done.
"JOSEPH ARE YOU HERE!" a thunder of a voice entered through the house, Joey literately whimpered at hearing the harsh tone.
Joey backed up into the nearest corner and hoped that his dad wouldn't find him, he was never like this never running away from anything, always showing courage, what happened? Oh right his dad.
A rough, and dirty hand ran across his face, and he let out an involuntary cry of pain. Then another grabbed his wrists tightly. Joey tried to back away, but he found that he was still against the wall he hide in, stupid move Joey.
He was yanked up by a rough thrust, he was thrown up against the wall, the dull brown eyes lock on to the young honey brown ones,
"Where were you this morning boy?" Joey's father hissed still hold his son tightly,
Joey never answered his comment, he had nothing to say, if he said something it wouldn't matter it would just end up the same. Joey's father thrusted him hardly against another wall, tears formed in Joey's eyes as he began to see stars.
I watched how Joey's father treated him, it looks like I'm not the only one in the hell that I live, total darkness and loneliness, oh well, I'll leave Joey for another night, right now I'll go check on Mokuba.
"I ASKED A QUESTION, YOU WORTHLESS PILE OF TRASH, NOW ANSWER ME" his voice was sharp, but Joey kept his cool, he would not show how weak he was, because in all truth he wasn't, and if he found out that he spent all his time with his friends, he was sure his father would hunt them down.
" Never" Joey muttered trying to get off the floor and back on his feet
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
"I said NEVER, I won't tell you where I was, it's my life I'll do as I please"
"Then I do as I please to, and I think I need to wipe that attitude from you, and leave you with nothing, all you'll be is broken and you know what that means"
Joey's eyes went wide and he crawled back into his corner, this was going to be a long night, and not one that he would enjoy at all. He father advanced slowly on him, and all courage, all strength left Joey as he was ripped from his protective place by his hair.
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----
Kaiba sat on a near by perch, he landed with easy now getting use of his new way of traveling, he peered into Mokuba's room, he smiled to see that he was actually sleeping tonight, all the other night's he was there, Mokuba was pacing back and forth, pale and sickly looking, one time Kaiba actually thought that he was spotted, and he didn't feel like killing his brother because he saw him.
According to the vampire code, any mortal that has seen a vampires face must be destroyed or be turned into the same creature, and in Joey's case, well he was doomed from the start, but he won't be the only one, he had one other person in mind.
Kaiba's eyes came upon a small piece of paper strapped to the window sill, he slowly picked the letter up and began reading word from word everything his brother wrote.
Dear Seto,
I wish you were here with me now, I miss you so much, Joey has been looking after me since you....left, If your alive please don't leave me here alone, I don't want to be alone anymore, I want you here with me. The gang says they miss you to, all but Joey, I can tell he couldn't care less but that alright....but now that he says your gone his says he'll play your roll of my big brother, but I know your alive somewhere I can feel it, come home.
Love Mokuba
Kaiba sneered at the letter, Joey? Take HIS place? Never, he'll give the Mutt a piece of his mind and more, but for tonight he would stay here and guard over his little brother.
--------------------------------------------------------------- -------
Joey recieved several smacked across the face. When Joey was released from his fathers grasp he laid painful on the floor, then there was laughing, that's when Joey realized that his father was huddled around him, he said something not so focal to Joey, then with a great force he kicked him square in the stomach, Joey curled up on the floor as he received more blows he actually believed that he was going to die from his father kicking him, then there was that laugh again, it sacred him to a level that Joey couldn't even explain, just laughing.
'Please just let me fall into unconsciousness and be done with it'
Joey prayed that he would find some relief from the torture he received, it just wasn't worth it anymore to pay the price of being around, all he wanted to do was get away, and any way possible.
"NOW FOR THE GRAND SHOW" Shout his father, Joey closed his eyes and wished that all this pain would be over soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ------
(THE NEXT DAY)
Sunday, the last day of freedom, for some, Joey AGAIN woke up sore and totally drained of energy, but if he were to stay then he would only get what he got last night, and he didn't want that, not only did his father beat him when he was drunk but when he wasn't drunk either, it was to much for Joey to handle right now.
Usually Yugi would help him through this, Yugi knew about his father before any of the other knew, Yugi knew before they were even friends, when he picked on him,
(FLASHBACK)
"Hey kid, were do you think your going?" Joey sneered at the whimpering kid, named Yugi
"I'm...g-going h-h-home" Yugi replied weakly
"I don't thinks so" Tristan also sneered from behind Joey,
"P-please I-I have to go h-home"
"Yeah, well how fast do you think your little legs can carry you?"
Yugi stayed quiet, he knew that this would turn into another fight about his height, if only he was a few inches taller.
Joey lifted the small boy so he looked him in the eye, Yugi was literally shaking from Joey's tight grip, what did he ever do to deserve this, just because he was different. Yugi's eyes wandered down at Joey's arm, that's when he noticed the bruises on his arm, in the shape of hands.
"What happened Joey?" He asked concern as he pointed to his arm, Joey dropped him suddenly and turned around to leave.
"Hey Joey where are you going?" Tristan yelled back to him,
"I'm leaving, this kid is not worth my time" Joey called back, Tristan looked to Yugi then ran towards Joey.
As Joey and Tristan walked, Tristan kept looking over at Joey, he had some confusion and worry in his eyes,
"I'm fine Tristan, I just didn't feel like bugging the kid today"
(END OF FLASHBACK)
'Well I wasn't ok, I was in pain and had to use all my strength not to cry right there in front of Yugi, it wasn't manly'
Joey sighed as he got off the floor, he must have passed out last night, oh well it's not like he would care after a while, he would find himself in all different places when he woke up, sometimes, he would be in the kitchen, in the bathroom, or sometimes very rarely he would find himself in his room.
'What does Yugi usually do to cheer me up?' Joey quickly got changed in something a little more clean before heading out the door, but before he left he saw his dad passed out on his bed
'Man what I would do to get out of here' Joey thought while leaving the apartment, Joey kept his eyes to the ground, his mind deep in thought,
'What does Yugi do?' he thought hard,
'Well he usually, tells me that one day this will all end and my dreams will be answered, like I would believe that, then he quotes something from a book, a book, Yugi usually finds comfort in a book hmm maybe I should go to the library, ha never thought I say that'
Joey looked to his watch to make sure that the library would be open at this time in the morning, but instead he got a rather unexpected surprise.
'4:00PM HAVE I BEEN OUT THAT LONG, WHAT DID HE DO TO ME?' He shrugged it off and proceeded to the library not caring anymore of what time it was, and what dangers lurked around this time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
With a loud yawn, Kaiba stretched from his bed, yes bed, not coffin, the coffin thing is old. He was indeed hunger, after all, night was soon at hand, but Kaiba always woke up earlier to get ready.
But what lingered in his mind was Mokuba's words 'Joey will play the roll of his big brother' , Who does Joey think he is, he can't take over something I still have.
Kaiba grinned evilly to himself, tonight Joey will learn that he was not dream or having a nightmare, he was real and he wasn't someone to mess with,
Joey will plead that I kill him quick, and he's not the only one, I have one other that will suffer the same fate as he will suffer.
'Let the hunt begin'
--------------------------------------------------------------- -
(Oh cliffhanger, I know you guys hate me, please review)
(NEXT CHAPTER: The hunt begins, what will Kaiba do? And what will Joey do to protect himself? Will garlic actually work?)
