Chapter 10: We were Innocent: Part 2
Ok, I can say this at least, since I will not be updating a lot because of my two jobs, expect an update every Sunday or Monday at least, since I am off work at one job those days, and do not leave for work until late afternoon. Thank you, now on with the story. And I love everyone of my reviewers still, and always will.
Honda stared at the door in front of him, hiding the urge to bust through said object with all the force he had to see his best friend. "It's been two days!" He growled out, left eyes twitching, right foot shaking. "He has been in there for two days with that healer and hasn't even opened his eyes!" He growled, ready to punch something before a small hand caught his fist.
"Come on." Mokuba said, pulling Honda outside lightly. "You haven't slept since this happened, neither has my brother, or anyone for that matter. Come to bed." He said, pulling Honda into another house and pushing towards a bed. "You need sleep or Jou-kun will kill you for not having slept the whole time he did."
Mokuba turned and was about to leave until something caught his shirt. "Don't leave. I couldn't bear to lose someone else." Honda's half asleep form mumbled out, sleep taking him over almost instantly. Mokuba smiled, sliding in next to him on the bed. 'Who would have thought any of us would have grown this close this fast?' He thought, staring at Honda. 'Can't complain about being happy though.' He thought again as sleep took him.
Yugi was curled up in Yami's arms he had quit crying a while back, dry sobs were the only things wrenching his body now. "Calm down Yugi. Jou will be fine." Yami said in a soothing tone. "He's as tough as nails and would probably eat them too with the way he eats."
Yugi smiled, and laughed lightly as well. "You're right, he will be just fine." Yugi said, sleep also taking him over. Not sleeping for two days can do that to anyone.
The others all went through pretty much the same ordeal, except for Seto, who sat in Jou's room, staring at the pup with a saddened look. "Wake up mutt. Please, just wake up, not even you can sleep forever."
Seto just stared at the blonde's hands. The ice had melted away after he had passed out, but his hands were burnt, and still showed how bad the burns hurt. He sighed, sleep weighing heavily in the back of his mind. He wasn't going to succumb though, not at all, not until he saw Jou open his eyes and be his energetic self. He didn't understand what was happening to him. He only loved Mokuba, but he felt something deep for the mutt, something akin to love, but he refused to actually admit it.
He settled his head down in the crook of Jou's neck, breathing deeply. Why would a mutt have such an effect on him? Why? He smiled lightly to himself, running the options through his head as sleep edged ever closer. He was asleep in no time, spooned up against the sleeping blonde, whos eyes started fluttering open minutes later. Honey brown eyes scanned the area before landing on a head of soft brunette tresses. "Kaiba?" A cracked voice choked out, a burned hand reaching up and settling on top of the hair. "Why are you here?" He asked kindly, looking down at the dragon with love in his eyes.
