Me- I am back from Hawaii, AP Chemistry tests, Prom and on my way to graduation! I feel soooo happy!

Myself- Your damned suitcase was to small! I could barely fit into it!

Me- Then maybe you should lose some more weight, I thought it was heavy.

Myself- Better be thankful I promised to be nice to you, or I would have a witty comeback.

I- Oh that plane seat was so small as well, I could barely stretch out.

Myself- Better then a suitcase that you froze in and then burned up in.

Me- You should have read the memo sooner or you would have gotten a plane seat.

Myself- I think someone took my memo. :glares at I:

I- I would never do such a thing. Not to mention I am not smart enough to think of such a thing.

Me- She is right.

Myself- Then it could only be one other person!

Souls and Hearts

Chap 11- Clarity

'God no, that did not just happen. They would never just kill her.' Jou chanted over and over in his mind. He wanted to believe that it was a trap, who ever sent him those images was messing with his head. She did mention before that she had brought someone to take her mothers away. But how that guy would have known to send it to Jou? She could have sent someone else off with her mothers, after all Jou only received cards from her. But to go off and kill her was a little extreme, even if they where villains. And was the importance of finding her "mothers"? And that Oruke guy allowed her to die! He showed that he lover her and she loved him back and he still sentenced her to the eternal sleep. As much as Jou wanted to convince himself that it wasn't true, he knew it was. Finally accepting that fact Jou could no longer hold in the despair. Tears came forth and sobs racked his body.

"Katsuya are you alright?" The teacher asked shaking his shoulder in an annoyed fashion. Jou stayed curled up in his attempt at a ball.

"Hey Jou snap out of it." Yugi tried to coax him out in a soothing way.

'Yugi what is wrong with Jou?'

'I'm not sure Yami, he zoned out for a while then curled up and started to cry.'

"Flashback maybe?'

'He's not trembling or screaming so I don't think so.'

"Mr. Jounouchi will you please collect yourself together and head down to the nurse's office." The teacher's voice sounded more urgent and she pushed Jou up to a sitting position. The whole class went into an eerier hushed and paled.

'What in the world?' Jou thought as the class looked at him in shock.

'Yugi he's…' Yami panicked through the mind link.

'But how Yami?' Yugi sounded almost too shocked to speak.

'He's gonna…'

'Yami run to the nurses office and warn her. I'll get Kaiba to help me.'

'Will do and please be careful.' Yami jumped out of his seat and almost flew to the nurse's office.

'Is it that shocking to see me cry? I mean even Yami ran like the shadow realm was at his heels. Even the teacher shut up.' Jou kept looking around at each student questioning their looks of shock, still not understanding why. Jou went to hide his face in his hands from such embarrassment. Though he was almost successful until a glimpse of color caught his eye; blinking he did a double take on his hands. They where covered in blood, his blood. Frantic with thought and emotions Jou began to check all over his body. His arms where cut up and dripping, clothes ripped and stained. His right arm had a huge purple bruise from when his father broke his arm. Jou's breathing went from uneven to hyperventilating in seconds. He began to tremble so badly that his chair was vibrating. The only sound he could hear was his father screaming at him and his own cries of protest.

"Shit!" Yugi growled as he jumped off his chair and ran to Jou's side.

"Mr. Mouto!" The teacher exclaimed in astonishment putting a hand to cover her mouth. The whole class was taken aback by his outburst and colorful language.

"Kaiba help me here. I cannot carry him all the way to the nurse's office!" Yugi demanded trying to pull Jou out of his seat.

"And if I don't?" Seto challenged him.

"You don't and I will report to all the humanitarian organizations out there that the great Seto Kaiba didn't help a student who was going through a flashback. The press would have a field day with that one." Yugi challenged back his voice matching the sharpness in his eyes. Knowing full well that Yugi would hold true to his threats, with or without help from Yami, Seto got up and slowly walked over to help.

"We don't have all day here Kaiba. Jou will become violent soon and the longer you take the more at risk you are for getting the shit beaten out of you." Yugi started in a demanding tone promising Seto humiliation if he dared move any slower.

"Whoa who knew the little guy had it in him!" One student whispered.

"I told you it was the small silent ones with big eyes." A girl whispered back. Seto picked up his pace a bit more and lifted Jou over his shoulder. Yugi was about to protest how Seto was handling Jou, but he was out the door and power walking down the hall. Yugi ran after the pair talking to Jou in a hushed voice. Jou on the other hand went into a full blown panic now. He has no idea who was carrying him and his father would carry him like that when he was raving drunk and pissed off.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry this time. I won't do it again I swear. Please put me down and I'll be good." Jou started to whimper as he also began to wiggle about. Seto has to strengthen his hold on the blond just to make sure that he didn't fall.

'He sounds so pitiful, wonder what happened at home to make him lower to this?" Seto thought as he struggled to keep Jou on his shoulder.

'I told you before; he's a broken soul and will remain broken for the rest of his life. There is nothing more you can do to break him farther, pieces can only shatter so many times.' Seth started up in his head, much to Seto's enjoyment.

'I don't need your philosophical tangents at the moment so shut up and let me handle this!'

'You don't need to yell at me for your emotional deficiencies.' Seth retorted sounding cocky.

'Shut up!'

'You don't need to yell I can hear you just fine.' Seth teased cutting off their bond.

"Jou it's alright. Seto is carrying you down to the nurse's office where Yami is there waiting for us." Yugi tried to sound as calm as possible in hopes to calm Jou down.

"He would never help someone like me. I'm to small and broken for him to care about." Jou whispered out sounding as broken as he was inside.

"No he's helping you now." Yugi argued back taking Jou's hand into his.

"Stop lying to me! He feels nothing for me, not even hate. I'm going to live my life and die a broken man. The only thing people will know me for it the poor boy that was abused and raped by his father!" Jou cried stopping in his thrashing. Seto froze outside the infirmary door his eyes going wider then they had in years. He knew Jou was living with the Mouto's because of domestic violence, but never did he think to such a radical extent.

"Jou don't you dare think that! You are not going to remain broken for the rest of your life. I know one day you are going to do a great many things that people will know you for." Yugi sobbed holding Jou's hand in a vice grip.

"Just stop lying Yugi, there is nothing that I will do." Jou gained new found strength and started to writhe and buck.

"Yami open the door!" Yugi yelled clutching Jou's hand in more of a comfort to himself then to Jou.

"Kaiba gently place him on the bed and let Yugi talk to him." Yami instructed as he held the door open. Seto rushed through the crowded office to the resting area in the back. There he lifted Jou off his shoulder and flopped him onto the bed.

"Gently!" Yugi screeched as he rushed over to his best friend's side. Jou froze in his position of tangled limbs and sheets. He listened to every sound in the office while his eyes scanned around for his father.

"Jou you are in the nurse's office and Yugi, the nurse, Seto and I are right here. You are laying down in one of the resting beds, the one right when you walk in." Yami talked in a monotone voice attempting to keep eye contact with Jou.

"Yami's right. I'm right here on your left, Yami on the right, the nurse right next to me and Seto at the foot of the bed. The nurse is going to give you your medicine. I'll still be right here." Yugi continued talking in monotone taking Jou's hand into his again as a reassurance of his position. The nurse took out her needle and carefully administered. Yugi went to whispering comforting words while Yami flagged the nurse back to her office.

"I'll be going now." Seto announced turning on his heel to leave.

"It would be advised if you didn't come back for a while Kaiba." Yugi sneered back putting an emphasis on you. Seto gave a glare of his own back before stalking off.

"Can you please explain to me why Jou went into such an attack?' The nurse gave an annoyed look to match her tone.

"In class Jou started to cry." Yami started out.

"Flashback?"

"Not sure if that was what started it or not, but he was crying blood."

"Blood!" The nurse gasped turning slightly green.

"Yes blood."

"I thought the smears on his face where from a cut on his hand." The nurse collapsed in her seat placing a hand at her temple.

"No, he must have seen the blood on his hands then went into a flashback."

"Well you get him into a hospital ASAP."

"Yugi and I will once he calms down a bit. Going now would just add to the shock."

"Let me write you a pass for the three of you to leave early." The nurse dug through her drawers looking for her pass pad.

Me- Well another interesting chapter here.

Jou- What the hell did you do to me!

Me- Ummm………I don't know?

Jou- WHAT! You don't know but you did it anyways!

Me- He he he……..

Jou- You are planning to kill me aren't you!

Me- Never! You are too cute to kill!

Jou- Ok I feel better now.

Me- Sorry there wasn't more conversation between Seto and Seth, I know people really likes that. But do not fear for there are still chapters to come where there will be much conversation!

Seto- Dammit! I was hoping to avoid those headaches.

Seth- How do you think I feel? I am stuck listening to your inner thoughts.

Me- Oh really?

Seth- Yes day in, day out. All the time!

Me- I'll pay you to tell me all of them!

Seto- O.O!
