Chapter 3: The Less Then Pleasant Visit
Mokuba quickly ran. His feet aching as he finally reached the untouched monster that was the front door. He had come down from his bedroom that was placed on the second floor on the other end of the manor. He opened the door with a grin across his face. "Welcome…"
"My, my…what an interesting introduction to da huge mountain dat is Kaiba Mansion." Joey said laughing. "May I come in?"
"Duh!" Mokuba said with a giggle. "I'm glad you could come. I know you have an important job…" Mokuba slowly led Joey into the manor. However, they quickly ended up in the living room where Mokuba had prepared a video gamer's dream, soda and popcorn. "Shall we begin?" Mokuba asked with a smile.
"Video games, wow! I haven't had da time for dem for months!" Joey said happily looking over the dozens of games laid across the floor.
"I knew you'd say that. That's why I have many of the older games from when we were younger."
"Thanks Mokuba." Joey said still trying to figure out which game to ply first.
Mokuba just grinned as Joey grabbed the first game. "Good choice…"
"Thank you! I haven't played dis one for over five years…" Joey put the disc in and awaited the screen to load.
"So, what have you been doing other than working?" Mokuba asked trying to break the silence.
"Not much. I don't really have da time to much else." Joey answered looking at the TV screen.
"Oh…you don't duel or anything?" Mokuba asked.
"Duel?" Joey questioned with a slight laugh. "Never again, Mokuba. I told you that…didn't I?"
"Not really…but…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"
Joey interrupted. "It's okay. I'm over it, I just can't duel after Yugi's…death." Joey looked down at the smooth gray carpet playing with his coarse hands.
"Sorry…" Mokuba said looking away. "Let's play!"
"Sounds good." Joey said grabbing a controller.
-------------
"How do ya keep beating me?" Joey questioned Mokuba.
"I just have that talent." Mokuba laughed.
"Right."
"I do."
"Sure!"
"Hey, don't be a sore loser!"
"Me, Joey Wheeler, a sore loser? I think not!" He said laughing. "I got da next one though!" What is dat strange sensation in da back of my skull? What is happening? Why am I falling to dat gray carpet? My eyes almost seem heavy. Maybe I need to sleep. I might need da sleep. Darkness, sweet black darkness…
"JOEY! JOEY! JOEY!"
So dark, heavy eyelids. My eyes need da rest. Rest, rest, rest, fire burning in my skull…rest, keep da fire down…sleep, dark nice needed, deserving sleep…
--------------
"Wheeler?"
Who is dat? Who is waking me up? I need ta sleep…rest…darkness…"Wheeler! Wheeler! Get up Wheeler! Wheeler!"
I need my rest! Leave, be gone! Stay away! I need my beauty sleep! Dark…gray…light…
"Wheeler!"
"Huh? What da ya want?" Joey questioned the voice screaming in his ears.
"Wheeler! Get up!"
"What?" Joey questioned opening his heavy eyelids. "What is it?"
"Wheeler!"
"Who da…Kaiba?" Joey asked looking up to see the CEO hovering over him
"Wheeler! Where is he?" Seto asked.
"Who?" Joey asked trying to pull himself up off of the ground.
"MOKUBA! Where is he?" Seto yelled dragging Joey off of the floor to his feet out of rage.
"What?" Joey questioned still confused.
"The door was broken down and I walked in to see you flat on the ground." Seto explained.
"I…don't remember. I…we were playing video games and then…my head." Joey said rubbing the back of his head where a newly formed bump had surfaced.
"He's gone?" Seto said getting into a panic.
"I…I'm not sure." Joey said looking around. "He was…I heard him…calling for me."
"Of course…you!" Seto said grabbing Joey by the collar of his shirt.
"Kaiba, what da fuck?" Joey yelled trying to get the CEO off of him.
"It's all your fucking fault, Wheeler! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you with him! You can't do shit right!" Seto yelled.
"Dat's bullshit Kaiba. How was I supposed to know dat I was going to get attacked and Mokuba was gonna turn up missing?" Joey yelled back.
"I still can't fucking stand you, Wheeler." Seto said letting him go. "Now, get out of my house so I can figure out a way to get my brother back."
Joey looked at Seto's pained face. "I'll help."
"What?"
"I wanna help ya!"
"Sorry, I don't need anything from you."
"I have a younger sister…and I know you must be feeling pretty useless right now."
"How that fuck do you know how I feel, Wheeler?"
"I felt da same way when Serenity needed money for her eye surgery. I had none, but I got help from…Yugi and had hope for myself and everything turned out."
"Nice story, but that doesn't help the fact that Mokuba is GONE!" Seto said angrily.
"I'll help you, Kaiba. You need it, at least for this." Joey said kindly.
Who does this mutt think he is? First, he comes over to my house and uses my appliances and eats off of my plate and now he acts like he can get off by helping me look for my little brother! The mutt does, however, have a point. I guess it wouldn't be too bad to USE him to get my brother back. Not that bad at all. He could actually serve a good purpose. What a dumb dog. Stupid dog. Sit, stay, speak…come get your treat. All you deserve is soggy dog biscuits.
"Well?" Joey asked impatiently.
"Fine, Wheeler. You can help me look for Mokuba." Seto said with a slight, but hidden grin.
"What is that noise?" Joey asked looking around the room
"What?" Seto asked listening. "Oh, it's my cell." Stupid dog…think he hears a doggy whistle from far way. Go and find that sound, go Lassie. "Hello?"
"I have your brother…"
