Ok so I'm trying to update as fast as I can so please forgive me.

We left off with Joey Kaiba and Serenity being suspended for stuff and when they started to leave Kaiba said he would never hurt Serenity and all that junk. Then when Joey and Serenity started walking home… Ugh!!! Here just read this if you want to know what happened. I'm a bad summarizer.

She started walking down the road towards their house. Then something dawned on her.

"Joey?" She said quietly.

Noticing she wasn't thinking about Kaiba any more and being careful about what she said, he looked at her curiously. "What?"

She only had to say one word.

"Father."

So there's what happened. Let's move on.

The love of Siblings and wanting the truth

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Serenity and Joey looked at each other while they just stood in front of their door. Nether of them wanted to open it, knowing what was on the other side. If their father found out they had bee suspended it would mean an extra hard beating. Joey then got the guts and walked in, in front of Serenity. If their father were to charge then he would be there to stop him and let Serenity get away. Such a great Big Brother.

He walked in and motioned for Serenity to follow when he saw no one was home.

"He must be out workin' or somethin'." Joey said with his heavy accent. "Let's hope he gets back after our school lets out so he don' suspect nothin'."

Serenity just nodded quietly and went to her room to rest. This was the first she had been in any sort of trouble in school. She put her book bag on the floor and started to wonder about her and Kaiba. I wonder if he would let me call him Seto. It's such a nice name. So sweet. She thought about how Joey reacted when he found out. It went a lot better than what I thought was going to happen. Hey we're supposed to go out tomorrow night. What if Joey doesn't let me? I don't think I could live life with out him. Both of them. Joey's such a great Big brother and Seto's so…She gave because she couldn't really think of a time when Kaiba had been sweet to her besides the time in the hall way and on the blimp.

Serenity went over to her back pack and took out her text book. She started to go ahead of where every one else was because she's smart like that. When she got three chapters ahead, she realized it was 5:00 and their father wasn't home yet. But exactly perfect timing, he walks into the front door and yells at Joey for watching TV. Serenity sensed something that she should stay in her room. But she didn't listen to it. She wanted to help him.

She walked out and went down the hallway. Their father looked at her and smirked-a lot like Kaiba does-and started to walk towards her. Her eyes got bigger sensing another beating coming, but Joey got off the couch and stood in front of her. "Don't you even think about it father." He stretched out his arms and blocked Serenity. From behind her brother she could see her father taking off his belt. Oh no!!! Not a whipping. The last time this happened Joey had lost so much blood he almost fainted. She pushed her brother aside just as her swung it. Her brother hit the floor and she got hit by the belt.

It stung Serenity's skin but she would take for all of those times her protected her. Joey tried to stand up but she looked at him and through her eyes told her only source of protection to leave. Joey shook his head so she just sent it even more. Eventually he ran out of the house and left her there. Serenity wanted to prove to her self she could take it. With Joey there she wouldn't be able to. Once he had left her father started again. Harder and faster with every swing. Her dad didn't just use the belt thought. He kicked her and punched her leaving bruises and blood where once was skin.

After 45 minutes, he stopped. He stopped the beating and since he didn't see the message she sent to Joey he tried to use it against her. "See what your brother did? He left you Serenity. He left you all alone. As will every one else. I'm only doing you good by telling you how no one would ever care about you. I-"

"That's a lie and you know it! My brother loves and Seto loves. Both have said they would never hurt me. I love them both and my friends care about me."

"Seto, as in Seto Kaiba! You think some one as powerful as him could love some one like you? HA. Serenity what do you think dating some one like you would do to his image. Rich CEO dates diseased Poor girl. He'll be even more popular IF that were possible. He's just using you like every one else will. Joey used you as a scapegoat, Kaiba's using you for his image, I use you to unleash anger, and your mother used you as a slave because she couldn't take care of the house her self. Your friends use you to-"

"No!!!! That's not TRUE!!! My friends, my brother, my mother, and Seto care about me. They all do I know it. Yami suspects to. He knows something is going on, and he wants to know what it is. He won't accept lies any MORE FATHER!!!! AND I WON'T DISH THEM OUT ANY MORE!!!!! I'LL JUST TELL EVERY ONE THE TRUTH AND WATCH YOUR SORRY BUTT GET HAULED OFF TO JAIL!!!!" She stood up-Miraculously-and confronted him. "Yami's known what's been happening since last month. He didn't tell me till last week, but he knows something wrong, and he and every one else are going to know. Joey didn't leave me. I told him to go so I would know if I could do this by myself. And I can. Look at you father, your showing fear. It's all over. I can feel it. Admit it. You're afraid that when I tell every one, you're going to go to jail, and you'll never be ably to hurt us again. ADMIT IT!!!!!!!"

She looked him in the eye and regretted doing everything she just did. Obviously he wasn't scared enough and he ran for her. She knew she was doomed. But at least she had her say to him, and she knew she could confront him, if she wanted to. He grabbed and spoke slowly through clenched teeth. "You would not say such things if you knew what would happen to you afterwards."

"Yeah father. And what's that? What are you going to do to me?"

"You'll never see the light of day again. Anything you want to say to your brother, 'cause you ain't going to see him again?"

"Yeah tell him this for me, she stepped on his foot as hard she could then hit him in the place where the sun don't shine." He father crunched down but still held onto her roughly. When he covered his stature he slapped hard on the face. He kept slapping her and slapping her until she was unconscious in his arms. He then thought of a place to keep her. There was room enough in the closet. Not let Joey back in the house and just keep her in there, good enough for him.

He dragged her unconscious body over to the closet and locked her in. It locks from the outside unfortunately. She was tuck there until he let her out. Which he would never do. He couldn't risk her telling any body about what he does. Mr. Wheeler knew she was serious when she made that threat.

He smiled once he had completed his work and went into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. He sat his lazy butt on the couch and turned on the TV. Greg (A/N: His new names Greg ok?) Wondered how Joey would react when he told him he would never see his sister again. Serves him right. He ran and now he's going to pay too. Greg then concocted a plan for the next time Joey came back.

!!!!!!!!!!!! Kame Game Shop!!!!!!!!!!

KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!

"Hey Yuge open up!!!! It's me Joey. Please bud, open up!!!!! I need ya!!! It's an emergency!!!! Yugi op-oh hi Gramps. Sorry… did I wake ya up?"

Joey said as Me. Moto opened the door. "No Joey that's quiet alright. Yugi's sleeping but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you woke him up." He yawned and let Joey in. "May I ask what the emergency is?"

"All I can say is I need a place to say and Serenity is in trouble."

"Well you can stay for as long as you want Joey." Said Yugi coming down the stairs. "What happened to Serenity?"

"Can't say. But I can talk to her in the morning at school. Oh and thanks fer lettin' me stay here Yuge. I appreciate it."

"Yeah Joey no problem. Here there's an extra room in the hallway. Follow me." Yugi-in his sky blue and star pajama's, clearly showing how innocent he is-led Joey up the stairs and into the home area of the shop. He led him to a room and told him to get to sleep because it's late. "Night Joey."

"Night Yugi. And thank you."

"Yeah," yawn, "no problem." He trudged off to his own room and said good night to his grandfather.

Joey went onto the bed and looked out of the window. Serenity. Why did you tell me to leave? Why did you put your self in such a horrible situation, when I wouldn't be able to protect you? What do you want to prove? I love you sis. And if he does anything to ya, I'll rip his ugly black heart out.

Some where out there

Beneath the pale moon light

Some ones thinking of me

And loving me tonight.

Some where out there

Some ones saying a prayer

That we'll find one another

In that big some where out there.

!!!!!!!!! Serenity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When she woke again she noticed she was in the closet. Oh man. This is not good. He's never going to let me out of here. I'll never see Joey or Seto or any one else! Why was I so stupid? UGH!!!!! I wish I could take every thing back. I wish I had never told Joey to leave. I never meant to tell my friends or Yami. He wouldn't believe me any way.

When she looked out of the shades of the closet she saw a ray of moon light.

Joey please come back!!! Please find me Joey!!!! I need you now!!! I proved what I wanted to; you can come back, PLEASE!!!!! I wonder where you found you safety. Yugi Probably. That boy would let Hitler in his house if he was out in the night with no place to stay. Ugh Joey!!!!

And even though I know oh very far apart we are

It helps think we might be wishing on that same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

!!!!!!!!!!!!!Joey!!!!!!!!!!!

Joey sat in the room looking out into the sky and coming to the realization that he would most likely never see his sister again. Not with her being left alone and what he thought she said. The wind blew the trees and made him feel all alone. Losing the one person he cares most about in the world.

At least I know that if she's still alive, he and I have a connection. We've used it before. We just used it today. If she needs me she'll call me. And I'll hear her, and save her. I love you Serenity. You my sista and for that, I will love you.

!!!!!!! BOTH!!!!!!!!!

Some where out there

If love can see us through

Then we'll be together

Somewhere out there

Out where dreams come true.

At the same time, memories of Duelist Kingdom flashed through the siblings mind. Both remembering how it was a fight for time. How she had been needing Joey so much. And he had come through. He had saved her sight. How the two had lived together in happiness for a while. Till their father came back. He ruined everything.

(A/N: This is a Sibling love in case you wanted to know. Remember this is a Seto Serenity Fic. OK? Besides that kinda couple is just wrong. But wouldn't you be close to your sibling if they were the only family worth keeping? I would. So remember Sibling love not couples ya sicko's)

I'll find you Ren. If he took you out of that house I will hunt you down. If he didn't I'll search every inch of the place. I'm coming for you. Don't worry.

And the same time Serenity thought. Joey please find me, before he takes me from the house. If e does there's no hope. Please Joey I'm sorry for making you leave. Come find me. I need you.

With those last thought they both drifted off to sleep. Both going to awaken to a horrifying day.

!!!!!!!!!! The next Morning JOEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joey was woken by Yugi already dressed in his uniform. "Joey you're going to be late. We need to go. Joey…"

"I'm awake Yuge. Thanks fer wakin' me." He got out of his bed and luckily had his uniform on from yesterday (A/N: Remember he got suspended.) "But I ain't going ta school."

"What why? What happened? What about talking to Serenity? And maybe you shouldn't go any way because you look like you've had a rough night."

"Serenity, Kaiba, and I got suspended. For fighting-me and Kaiba- and reprimanding a teacher-Serenity. So I ain't going."

"Ohhh well then I guess I'll see you afterwards k? And Joey, if you want to talk about what happened yesterday, whatever it was, I'll listen. You know that right?"

"Yeah Yuge I do. I just can't. It would kill her." He said the last part under his breath, so Yugi wouldn't her. But some one did. A certain ancient some one. Yami immediately took over. Having been suspicious for the past while.

"Joey, how would telling Yugi kill Serenity?"

"Yami…I said I can't tell you. It would kill her."

"Why Joe? Why would it kill her? What is going to happen?"

"I TOLD YOU CAN'T SAY!!!!!"

Once he shouted Yami backed down and looked at him. "Fine. Obviously this is personal so I won't push you. But when you can tell me ok? I want to help you."

"I'm sorry. I don't think I can ever talk about this to any one but Serenity though. I'm sorry."

Joey just got up and walked into the bathroom. Leaving Yami in the room alone. Or as alone you can get when two spirits inhabit one body. Letting down his mind block he let Yugi talk to him. He didn't want Yugi to know that his best friend's family was horribly wrong. Not yet.

(blah blahblahYami blahblahblahYugi)

"What's wrong Yami? Why did you put up a mind block? What was Joey saying?" (A/N: Ok so I just realized all I've had Yugi really say is questions so I'll try to make him talk in normal sentences.)

"Yugi, you aren't ready to know yet. Beside I don't know what it is."

"Yami, Joey is my best friend. We are like brothers, why can't you or he tell me what it is? I need to know."

"I can't tell you if I don't know what it is. Besides if I was to find out, and say something…"

Subconsciously he thought of what would happen. Not putting up the mind block he let Yugi hear.

"WHAT!!!!! SEENITY DIE!!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON???? I HAVE TO KNOW YAMI!!!!!"

"Yugi I said I don't know. And obviously Joey won't say anything. I guess we have to talk to Serenity."

"Yeah but remember what happened the last time you spoke with her about this? Let me refresh your memory." Yugi let in the memory of that day flood into his mind therefore also going into the Pharoh's.

"Yes Yami."

"You knew I changed?"

"I saw the light when I looked up."

"Oh. Umm Serenity what really happened this morning and why are you limping?"

"I told you. There was a fire while Joey was trying to cook. I hadn't woken up yet, so he made or tried to make breakfast and it didn't work. The reason I'm limping is because I tripped when I was running down the stairs to help him. See nothing happened. Just a freak accident."

He looked at her suspiciously. There were no stairs in their apartment and Yugi-or Yami- knew that well. Having been over there so many times. "Look Serenity I know your lying. Why aren't you telling me the truth?"

"I am Yami."

They had almost reached the front doors of the school. They had to separate to go to their different classes so Yami told her he would talk to her later and hoped she will tell him the truth next time.

Yami remembered the day well. Serenity had come to the group outside the shop limping. Yugi was the only one who noticed, so Yami took over and tried to ask her what happened. He had gotten a flat out lie.

"Yugi. Maybe they just need some time to sort it out. Maybe once they figure things out, they'll tell us." He tried reasoning with his other half.

"Yeah I guess your right. But if Serenity needs help-"

"Yugi you can't help the entire world. First we have to go to school then, we can deal with this ok?"

"Yeah sure Yami."

"Ok let's go."

Yugi took over the body and walked out of the extra room. He said god bye to Joey-who didn't answer- and to his grandfather-who gave him a hug. He walked out and told his friends waiting there why Joey and Serenity wouldn't be coming. He told them they were suspended. Not that they might be going through a family crisis.

They walked towards school oblivious to what Serenity was going through.

!!!!!!!!!! SERENTIY !!!!!!!!!!!

She woke when she felt her self hit hard ground. Oh snap. I'm definitely NOT in our apartment any more. Should've figured he'd take me out as soon as possible.

"Wake up girl!" A harsh voice said to her, with a complimentary kick in the side.

"I am awake." She said and noticing it wasn't her father talking to her she got even more scared.

"Good now I'm here to make sure you don't go and run off. Welcome to the abandoned ware house on 2nd Ave. This will be your new home." He kicked her again and put a chain around her ankle. "Make your self at home. Since it's yours now."

With that he then walked out of the place with the key.

Great now I'm all alone in this dark scary place. And I miss my big brother. And Seto. Not like I'd be able to see him, with Joey being so protective. But- OH NO!!!! MY DATE WITH SETO. IT'S TONIGHT!!!!!! I CAN'T GO!!! I'M STUCK IN THIS PLACE!!! HE'S GOING TO HATE ME FOR STANDING HIM UP!!! Unless there is a way I could get a hold of him. Would Joey call him for me telling him what happened? Well not exactly what happened but the fact that I can't go? This would make him over joyous. She pulled at the chain trying to get out of it.

"I-have-to-tell-Seto-I-can't-go! Let-me-out! UGH!!!!!!" She laid back on the ground. When she took in her surroundings she noticed the ware house was completely barren. Except for a phone hanging on the wall. If she could get a hold of Joey she could tell him to tell Seto that she can't go. AND that she was on the abandon ware house on 2nd Ave.

She stood up on shaky leg and tried to get over to the wall. She was four feet away when the chain got out of give. She then stretched as far as she could, but still she only barely reached it. Not far enough to grab it. Knowing that she was so close made the defeat even harder for her to take. She sat on the ground and started to cry. She continued until she fell asleep again into a dark pit of nightmares.

She needs help,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There you go. I hope you liked it. I put everything I had into it. I'm so tired to cause you know I've never written a chapter this long and it's really late.

The reason it was so long is cause I wanted to make up for it being horribly late in updating and I'm going on a vacation for Thanksgiving. And I will be gone for five days so I can't write any of my fics. Sorry. So that's why it was long. And this person said they wanted longer chaps. So….

See yeah in my next update.

Oh yeah
