Run Away Puppy 3: The Final WarChapter Six: The Return Of An Old Rival
It was a rainy night, but he didn't mind it too much. Rain had proven to actually be one of his best friends, especially when it came to covering up his tracks. He took a puff of his lit cigarette and marveled at the taste, it had been almost four years since he was last able to roam the streets freely and smoke to his heart's content. He was in a bad part of Downtown Domino; this is where he felt most at home. He smirked when he noticed the building he approached. "Ahh, home sweet home." He said before entering said structure. It was when he entered the front room, that was decorated like a living room with a bar connected to the near left wall, that he got a unexpected surprise.
"Yo, Grandma, whaddya doin' here?" She turned about looking the teenage delinquent in the eyes. "Are you Hirutani Tamuto?" The young man growled and clinched his fists, "Who's askin?"
"I am Joey Wheeler's mother."
…
…cough, cough, cough…
"How in the world did you get so sick pup?" Seto tenderly asked while sitting down next to said miserable blonde. "Member, when it rained the other night, you had this crazy idea that playin out in it would be fun?" The young brunette cringed and nodded and watched as the pup nodded back at him. "Oh pup, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you sick." He leant down for a kiss but Katsuya stopped him, "No, I don' need you sick too, besides, one of us needs to be healthy for Jouneth." Nodding the blue-eyed teen smiled and looked over his shoulder when another presence came into the bedroom.
"Here Joseph, drink this." Tamrah said while handing her grandson a glass of orange juice. The amber-eyed teen took it and held it before speaking, "Grandma, my name is Katsuya."
"Oh I don't care what your new name is, you'll always be my little Jo Jo!" The elder woman said while giving the blonde a playful pinch on his right cheek. "Grandma! I ain't four anymore!" She chuckled at the blush on his face and left the room. "Silly puppy." Seto spoke with a chuckle. Amber-eyes glared at him and he quickly locked lips with his lover before the shorter teen knew what had hit him. Every nerve in the blonde's body came to life and he couldn't help but kiss back. The taller of the two slowly pulled away after a moment and whispered, "See, now that wasn't so bad was it?" He watched as Katsuya leaned forward and nuzzled into his chest. He remember now, why he was marrying this little golden puppy. For this very moment and so many alike. Only this boy could make him feel the way he does. He smiled softly to himself and held the blonde as close as he could.
…
"Well whaddya want with me grandma? I ain't gots no ties with that mongrel anymore. The puss tattled on me and put me and a buddy of mine away for a little more than three years." The teen gang leader watched as a glint of mischief passed the woman's eyes, "Then I expect a case of serious revenge is in order." Hirutani snorted and lit up another cigarette, "Why would I want to get myself thrown back in jail when I just got out…besides what's in it for me?" Carol smiled wickedly and chuckled, "You'd be wrecking more than one person's life here, a lot has happened with my son since you've been put away. Besides, I can pay you handsomely and even cover your tracks…all I need do is call my lawyer and make up a legitimate story for you to create an alibi." The tall and dark looking teen thought about it for a minute with his hand under his chin before smirking. "Do tell me what Joseph has been up to." The scheming mother laughed and sat down on one of the inviting couches. "I thought you would never say that." She motioned with her hand and encouraged the teen to sit across from her on the other piece of furniture.
…
"Awww, what a crappy way to have spent your last night." Tamrah said while she hugged her grandson tightly. Katsuya smiled and sniffled while pulling back, "It's okay grandma, I had a wonderful time. You were so great to Seto and Jouneth." The woman beamed happily, "What more could I have done…the more the merrier…besides Seto is a little hottie, you have good taste in men Jo Jo." The amber-eyed teen blushed hard and wanted to just run onto the plane and never look back. Was his grandmother supposed to speak like that? She laughed out loud and hugged him tight one last time. The family said their sad good byes and Seto and Katsuya nearly went home without a son.
"Awe…does my great grandbaby gotta go home?" Tamrah whined playfully while clutching the baby close. The blonde child giggled and babbled happily. Seto felt his heart warm, he really was gonna miss these people, he really enjoyed them and hoped that they could come to their home one day. Katsuya took his son into his arms and snuggled him, "As much as I hate to tear you two apart, I hafta. I couldn't be without my little dragon." The elder woman and man smiled at the young parent.
"Well you kids take care of yourselves and that baby. And Mokuba you behave and listen to your brother." Ron spoke with such compassion. Seto nodded and Mokuba answered with 'Always!'
…
'Home.' Seto thought to himself as he pulled into the driveway of his own home. It was a sight for sore eyes and he couldn't have been more enthused. Mokuba was just as happy and made a mad dash for his bedroom once the front door was unlocked. Seto turned around to bring a slumbering Jouneth inside but the baby's grandpa had beaten him to it. "Here, get this kiddo up to his crib so that he can wake up in his room." Jack whispered, careful not to wake the child. The young father nodded and took the car seat and headed upstairs to get the infant settled in.
It was a cute Minnie Mouse plushie that the raven-haired Kaiba had bought for his first love. He hoped that Nikki would accept his gift, but he had to wait until Monday to give it to her. He snuggled the toy and smiled, he had done a good job. Now that he thought about it, he had never seen his nii-sama buy anything like this for the blonde teen…he would hafta ask later.
Jouneth whined from the movement of his body and squirmed. "Ssssh, relax kiddo, daddy's just gonna put you in bed." Came the smooth tone of the blue-eyed teen. Seto smiled as he watched his son sleep comfortably…he looked so at home. He touched the soft skin of his baby's head beamed a little more. Being a father really did bring him a lot of pride. If he had to do everything over again just to get to this moment, he would do it in a heartbeat; life couldn't get much better. All the pain and the suffering made moments like this that much more special.
Katsuya was much like his son now; he snuggled into his bed and sighed a sigh of happiness to finally be home. He felt himself drifting off to sleep when the bed shifted and a warm body pressed up against him. "I love you Katsuya…I can't wait to marry you." The blonde felt his eyes begin to water and he turned over to nuzzle into the presence that was the love of his life. The way they were, the way life had been the last few months was a dream…nothing could destroy the real life fairy tale the master and the puppy are living.
Three days later…
November 20, 2006
Monday Morning
Domino Middle School
8:52 am
It was a chilly November morning and Mokuba eagerly awaited the arrival of his blonde-haired, blue-eyed angel. In his left hand he held a gift bag containing the present he had bought for Nikki. As he stood on the sidewalk the busses pulled up to he looked to the left and the right, anxious to see her. His patient finally paid off when a buss pulled up to the sidewalk. He looked up to the widows to see a very happy, blonde girl waving at him. He waved back then watched as she raced off the bus, only to embrace him tightly.
"MOKUBA KAIBA DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!" He blushed a brilliant pink but he held her with just as much compassion. After a moment, she locked gazes with the raven-haired boy then kissed him softly on the lips. Mokuba was left with a dazed grin and the blue-eyed girl giggled. Quickly gaining back his composure, he cleared his throat and smiled, "Here, I got this for you." Nikki was speechless; with unsure hands she reached out and took the gift. Mokuba watched as she reached in and pulled out the Minnie Mouse plushie. Her features lit up like the night sky on the fourth of July. "OH MOKUBA! IT'S ADORABLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" She cuddled it then glomped her…boyfriend? Was that the right word? The boy chuckled. Little did either of them know that they were the center of attention.
"You are so much like your brother Mokuba." A familiar voice beckoned to him, he turned around to see Shizuka smiling at him. He blushed harder as the girl beside him took his hand. "I'm gonna tell him tonight when we get home!" The brunette teased. The blonde-haired girl laughed at the boy's sister (Mokuba explained the whole thing to Nikki). The bell, signaling that class was to begin, went off and all the students marched into the building. "We better make the best of today and tomorrow, we wont see each other until next Monday."
"Why?" The raven-haired Kaiba asked with a gasp of surprise. "Because Thursday is Thanksgiving and we get Wednesday through the rest of the week off."
"Oh"
11: 09 am
Today, despite the fact it was November, was a rather nice day outside and Katsuya decided that he and the baby should get out of the house and enjoy the weather. He dressed Jouneth in a blue t-shirt and his black baby tigger overall outfit; and for added warmth he put the infant's baby blue-eyes white dragon hoddie on him. You couldn't tell that this wasn't a Seto buy that's for sure. The amber-eyed parent chuckled to himself and lifted the child into his arms. "Maybe me and you should take daddy out to lunch today, whaddya say kiddo?" The baby's blue-eyes met his and he smiled widely. "I take that as a yes."
11: 34 am
He had gotten used to the fact that he could now prance around Kaiba Corp. when he felt like. Seeing as how he had given birth to the CEO's child he'd better get the right. With Jouneth in his arms, Katsuya was ready to make his way into the elevator that would take him to the floor that his fiancé worked on when a voice stopped him.
"OH MY GOODNESS! Is that Mr. Kaiba's son?" He spun around to see a middle aged lady coming toward him with now half the office. The blonde was panicking in his head; he knew how his son gets around people he didn't know in large groups. "Oh my, he is so handsome!" The lady said while pinching the infant's cheek softly. At the intrusion, just like Katsuya had predicted in his head, Jouneth began to scream. "Do you mind!" Katsuya said rather annoyed with the Kaiba Corp. employees. The people backed away when they realized they had upset the infant that belonged to their boss. The amber-eyed teen gave the crowd the once over then started where he left off. He turned his back in a huff and entered into the elevator with a screaming baby.
Kimia looked up from her computer at the high-pitched sound and spotted her boss' fiancé and their son. She quickly removed herself from her desk and stood before the blonde. "Oh, poor little thing, is he okay?" Katsuya nodded and held the infant closer. The blonde looked around and saw that Jouneth was disturbing the area. "Kimia, is Seto in?" And as if on cue the brunette made himself present. "Pup! What are you doing here?" The amber-eyed teen walked over to his lover, "Well, it was a surprise until I came into the building."
"Mr. Kaiba?" The blue-eyed CEO glanced over at a group of his employees. "Why don't we take this into my office?" He offered to his lover. The shorter teen nodded and made quick work of it. The young CEO followed and closed the door behind him.
Still listening to his son wail, Seto gently took the boy into his own arms and cradled him close while soothing him. "Shhhh, Jouneth, it's okay. What's up little one, why are you so upset?" Katsuya started to rub the infant's back, "Well, your employees on the first floor thought to invite themselves over to say 'hi' to your son. They crowded around him and you and I both know how he gets when in a strange environment with unfamiliar people." The young father rolled his eyes and shook his head, what was up with his employees lately? They just couldn't seem to get anything right. Perhaps Kaiba Corp. could take just one day off in the near future.
And as if his touch was like magic, Jouneth finally began to settle down in Seto's arms. He fisted a hand full of his father's white suit jacket and nestled his blonde head against the teen's chest. The other parent couldn't help but smile, "Boy, he sure does love his daddy." The blue-eyed teen smiled, "He loves his mommy and I love his mommy too." Seto grinned with a playful glint in his eyes. He closed the distance between them and locked his lips with Katsuya's. They pulled away a moment later.
"So what brings you two down here?" The blonde eyed the plush couch that was placed against the wall and preceded to sit down while talking to his beloved, "Well, I thought it might be nice for the three of us to spend lunch together. Besides, it's a really nice day and I didn't want to waste it inside." The teen father nodded, "You're right, it is a rather nice day for November." Seto sat beside his lover. "So is there anywhere in particular you wanna go pup?"
"Well I was thinkin we could go pick somethin up and take it to the park." The shorter of the two answered. The brunette smiled, "That sounds great puppy."
Just like they had planned, Seto and Katsuya went and got some lunch and took it down to Domino Park and enjoyed one another's company. Just as they had got settled to talk after eating the CEO's cell phone rang. He looked at the number and gave his golden pup an apologetic glance. The amber-eyed teen watched as his dragon answered the object. He listened to the one sided conversation and put the pieces together.
"Katsuya…I gotta get back to the office…some one screwed up a week's worth of paper work, thus creating an error within the system." Seto explained while placing his phone in his jacket pocket and turning to gaze into amber pools. "Katsuya I'm…"
"Seto, babe, don't worry about it." He knew his lover had gotten used to the idea and didn't mind that Kaiba Corp. needed him a lot, but Seto still felt bad and only since Jouneth's birth did he really begin to see how much he was missing at home. "I'll try to be home at a decent hour, okay?" The blonde nodded and smiled before his lips were taken into an apologetic kiss. "I'm sorry."
"I know. Just go do what ya gotta do, okay?" With a weak smile Seto nodded then gave his son a goodbye kiss on his cheek before leaving his puppy. Jouneth reached out for his father's retreating back but then looked up at his mother and reached up from him. He complied with his infant and smiled back.
"Fancy meetin' you here." Katsuya turned quickly to face the voice and was stunned to see whom it was that he saw. Amber eyes widened and his clutch on his baby tightened, "Hir…Hirutani…wha…"
"I'm flattered you remember my name Joey (a/n: Hirutani doesn't know about the name change)." The taller blonde said with an evil smirk. Jouneth began to whine. "I heard about this little guy, how you and Seto Kaiba conceived a baby together and how you two plan on getting married, and living happily ever after." Hirutani then took out a cigarette and lit it up.
"What do you want with me?" Katsuya said slowly backing away out of the smoke range for the sake of his child. "There is no happily ever after where you sent me Joey…you know how the gang works and I bet you know what's in store for you…there is no hiding…"
"Please don't do this to me, I have a baby." Hirutani snickered, "And I care about your test tube baby because? Listen Joey, I pity you but I've always liked ya, I'm gonna let you go…for now…. But make no mistake…. I will be back… And when we do meet again you're gonna hafta make a decision that will change your life forever…but whatever you choose…those around you will suffer." The blonde held tighter to his child and Jouneth peeked an eye up at the other teen and watched as he reached out to touch him. Thinking quickly, Katsuya jerked away, "I don't care what you have planned, but you will never, and I do mean NEVER, touch my son!"
