Chapter 5

Meanwhile with Leo…

Leo slowly walked around his house as he thought of a few things that happened over the last couple days; the main thing, his father and a few of his father's colleagues.

Leo was extremely freaked out a couple of nights ago when his father asked him a very personal question about himself and Seto; he asked if they were virgins. Needless to say, Leo was extremely shocked; his father never cared about him, even before the death of his mother; and not only asked him that question, but asked about Seto's virginity. His father was never protective of him and practically hated Seto, so why did he ask that question? Leo never answered the question; he just left the room with a severe blush on his cheeks.

But, that's not what really got him. What got him was that shortly after the question was asked, his father's colleagues came for a meeting. Of course he was forbidden to attend or listen and he never really cared before; but that meeting, he was curious what it was truly for; he knew from his father's question, that it had to do with him and Seto. But, why their virginity? Did that question have to do with the experiments that his father and those bastard colleagues of his performed on their bodies?

Everything that Leo was thinking left him confused, he wanted answers and he wanted answers now! But, how was he going to get them? He didn't know what to do at all; but he knew that he had to do something; he had a feeling that if he didn't something really bad was going to happen really soon.

Meanwhile with William…

William pulled up to the student pick up area of Domino High and waited for Joey and Seto to come out.

William wasn't surprised when he was called to come by and pick up Seto, but he was slightly surprised that it was Joey calling; he was happy for Joey to finally be back with Seto. With Seto being sick, he was going to need Joey.

The sudden sound of the door being opened caught William's attention; he looked at the rearview mirror on the windshield window to see if it was Joey and Seto. He smiled when he saw Joey slowly step into the car with Seto safely in his arms.

Joey slowly settled into the back seat and gently settled Seto onto the seat next to him; he laid Seto down and placed his head on his lap.

When William saw that Joey's hands were full, he pressed a button on the dash board and the door Joey had opened closed.

"So, just take you and Seto home?" William asked.

"Yup, I already called Leo, so he's headed there now." Joey said.

William nodded and started up the limo, then drove off.

An Hour Later…

Leo pulled up to the Kaiba mansion's guest garage as the gates opened, he slowly drove in and parked his car and jumped out. Quickly, he went to the door leading to inside of the mansion to see his sick friend.

He had received a call from Joey to come earlier than expected; he didn't really need the phone call, he was going to come early to speak to Seto about his father's suspicious behavior. At that moment as he worked his way to Seto's room, he wondered if he should tell Seto about it later, he didn't want to worry his sick friend.

When he arrived to Seto's room, he saw that the door was opened and he heard humming. When he got close enough to the door to look in, he smiled at what he saw.

Joey was sitting on Seto's bed with Seto on his lap lying against him, he was stroking Seto's hair as he was humming an unknown lullaby, and Seto was drifting in and out of slumber.

Gently, Leo knocked on the door the catch the couple's attention.

Seto's eyes snapped open; Joey stopped his humming and glared at Leo for disturbing them.

"Sorry, but it's time for Seto's appointment." Leo said.

An hour and a half later…

Leon couldn't find what was making his friend sick; he had no idea what to do or what to say, and he refused to go ask his father for help. He had done a lot of tests, of both urine and blood; but he didn't find that his friend had a fever or anything like it. He was stumped about it, and what worried him most was that Seto was still vomiting; two times during the check up, Seto rushed over to the bathroom to puke his guts out; Joey by his side through everything.

The only thing Leon could promise to Seto was that he would try to find out what was wrong with him. Joey was complaining saying that Seto was sick beyond anything in his whole life, and for the fact that Leon couldn't find what was making his lover sick. Leon left the mansion with a heart full of grief and a mind full of questions. What was happening to Seto? Did he have cancer? Was Seto going to die soon if he didn't find out what was wrong with Seto?

Seto was always abnormally skinny and he never ate much, and he the vomiting he was doing wasn't doing any good for his health. Leon was scared to do it, but felt he had to; he took all of the medications that Seto was taking away, fearing that the medications were having a sort of effect; until he knew what was going on, Seto wouldn't take any kind of medication. The pills that Seto took weren't for physical abilities, but for mental; Leon took the same pills that Seto took; both took them because of the things they had to endure when they were younger. The main problem to taking away Seto's medication was that Leon didn't know if it was going to have a positive or negative affect on Seto; he would just have to wait and see. He made sure to ask Joey to keep an eye on Seto just in case, Seto was stubborn at times to admit he needed help.

As Leon got into his car, he could tell that it was going to be a long night trying to figure out what was wrong with Seto.

With Joey and Seto…

Joey was carrying Seto from the hospital wing of the mansion over to his bedroom. Seto had fallen asleep shortly before Leon had left; leaving him worried and confused. Joey was worried more than Leon would ever be, even though Leon had known Seto longer than he did. Joey was surprised when Leon said that the blood and urine tests didn't show anything wrong with Seto; Joey for about five minutes didn't do anything but yell at Leon about how he couldn't find anything.

As Joey walked, he looked down at his lover's face. Seto was sleeping peacefully for probably the first time since they broke up; but now that they were back together, Joey could make sure Seto got enough sleep. Suddenly, Joey found himself wondering if Mai sensed how sick Seto was. Joey was freaked out by Mai's ability to sense things, but appreciated it very much; at times that ability helped him out.

Joey arrived to the bedroom and walked over to the bed, he gently settled Seto upon the bed and watched as Seto immediately snuggled deeper into the bed. Smiling, Joey covered Seto with the comforter and walked around to the other side of the bed; slowly and carefully, he sat down and moved himself onto the bed, covering the comforter onto himself.

He rested his head on one hand that was resting on an elbow and looked at his slumbering lover. Slowly and carefully with the other hand, he gently petted Seto's head; smiling wider when Seto began to purr. Moving slowly, he placed a kiss at Seto's cheek.

"Sleep well my precious Kitten…" Joey whispered into Seto's ear.

Gently gathering Seto into his arms, he fell asleep knowing Seto was finally getting some decent sleep, despite how sick he was.

Meanwhile with Leon…

When Leon arrived home, he bumped into a maid who told him that his father was in another meeting with his colleagues. Why the maid told him, he didn't know; everyone in the staff that worked within the mansion he lived in knew that he never cared about his father's meeting; none of them, he was pretty sure of it, knew of the slight interest he held of them since his father's question. So, why did that maid tell him?

Shrugging it off, he decided to get to his room to thing about what he could do with Seto. He walked slowly because he thought more while walking slowly. When he got to the banister of stairs leading to the floors above, the sudden urge to hear what his father and his colleagues were talking about almost become too much; but he contained himself. Anytime he thought of things like that, he always feared he'd get caught; so he never tried them.

Walking up the stairs, he thought of Seto.

'Vomiting, stomach cramps, constant major headaches and/or migraines, major loss of appetite…' Leon thought. 'Obvious signs of sickness, but the tests say he's not. Maybe I should run another test on them…'

As Leon was walking, he didn't notice that he was walking in the opposite direction of his bedroom and was walking the way to his father's conference room. When he realized where he was walking, he looked up just as the room door was opening; he froze immediately. When he saw that the door paused in opening, he could still hear voices; so he quickly and quietly rushed over to the conveniently placed carpet tapestry that was hung on the wall and slipped behind it. He thanked the creators of the rug for creating the tassels so long that they touched the floor from the carpet that was hovering about a foot over the floor; the tassels covered his feet well.

Leon listened closely as he heard the door open the chatter of his father with his colleagues. He heard the door close and the people and his father walking away, but he could still hear some of their conversation.

"If what you say is possibly true, we should get into action on capturing one or possibly both of them…" One of them said.

"Did any of them ever ask what the operations were for?" Another asked.

"No, they never did." Leon heard his father say. "But, one day my son will, I have to think of a lie to tell him. He should never know what those operations are for."

"Well, if what we did those operations for comes to be…" One said. "Then your son or Seto will tell someone."

"Hopefully we'll find out what's going on before they do if it ever does happen." Another said.

"Yes, I highly agree." Leon's father said.

Then, they were too far off for Leon to hear anything else they had to say. Leon stayed behind the carpet for about five more minutes to make sure the coast was clear. When he heard nothing for those few minutes, he slowly poked his head from behind the carpet; when he saw that there was no one around, he slowly stepped from behind the curtain.

'I better get away from here before Father gets back…' Leon thought as he turned the opposite direction from which he came. When he turned, something on the floor caught his eye; a folder, full of papers.

Leon slowly walked up to the folder and bent down to pick it up; he most definitely didn't see it when he came in that direction earlier meaning one thing, one of his father's colleagues dropped it.

'This might mean that I get to find out what the hell they are talking about…' Leon thought.

He quickly stuffed the folder in his pocket and rushed to the privacy of his room.

Meanwhile with Joey…

Joey was sound asleep, until he felt very sharp pains at his chest. Wincing, he opened his eyes and looked around, then looked into his arms and saw what was causing the pain; it was a who, and it was Seto.

Seto was thrashing in his sleep trying to get away from something in a dream; as Seto trashed, he banged his elbows against Joey's chest.

Joey grasped a hold of his lover's wrists and sat up in bed, looking down at Seto. Seto was still trashing around, his eyes were screwed shut. Joey knew he had to wake up Seto.

"Seto, Seto, please wake up!" Joey said as he started to shake Seto.

But, Seto wasn't waking up. Joey shook hard, Seto's body fought against him, then he started screaming.

Joey was quick to gather Seto in his arms; Seto's head to his chest, in one hand, Joey held both of Seto's wrists.

"Seto, Kitten, please wake up!" Joey said. "It's only a dream, I'm here!"

Slowly, Seto's screaming ceased and also he thrashing. Joey held him close, rocking back and forth and humming a sweet song into Seto ear. Eventually, very slowly, Seto woke up; he looked up at Joey, tears welling up in his eyes.

"It's okay my love…" Joey whispered. "It was only a dream, he's not here, and he'll never be here again."

Seto tried to smile at Joey, but his smile crumbled and he let out a strangled sob, immediately burying his face into Joey's chest.

Joey held Seto close, stroking his hair, rocking back and fourth, humming a sweet lullaby to help Seto calm down.
