All I want for X'mas is my Puppy
Part 4—Chasing the Puppy's Tail
by YYY

There is only 10 minutes left to stop the virus but the Yakuza are guarding Kaiba Crops' main computer. No way Seto can fight through all the Yakuza and reach the computer on time. The virus is going to destroy the computer system very soon. Without the system, Kaiba Crops will collapse and Seto will loose everything.

Yet, that doesn't really bother Seto all that much. Seto worries more about losing Joey tonight than losing his company. When the motorcyclist tried to hit Joey with the iron rod, Seto's heart stopped beating. Seto hates to admit it, but Joey Wheeler weights a ton in Seto's heart. He doesn't want anything to happen to Joey. "Mutt, let's leave. I don't want you to get hurt." Seto says.

"If we leave now you'll loose Kaiba Crops! We don't come all the way here just to turn around!"

"I built Kaiba Crop with my own two hands. Even if I loose it I can rebuilt it again. I got you in enough danger tonight already. No more."

Joey takes a deep breath and says, "Seto, I was lying when I said that I was happy I didn't have to see you again. I miss the time when we went to school together; and I always look for you on newspapers."

"What's with the sudden heart-to-heart talk? You are not planning to do something suicidal, right?" Seto asks.

"You're not going to loose Kaiba Crops. I won't let it happen." Joey says as he takes Seto's baseball cap. Before Seto can grab Joey, the blonde runs out from their hiding place.

Joey puts on the cap to cover his blonde hair. He then runs toward the Yukuza. "It's Seto Kaiba!" The Yukuza shouts when they see someone wearing Seto's cap and jacket. (Seto gave Joey his jacket earlier to keep Joey warm.) The Yakuza run after Joey and start shooting at the blonde.

"Crazy mutt!" Seto mutters. He can hear the Yakuza fire their guns at Joey. Seto wants to go after Joey but then Joey's sacrifice will be in vein.

After all the Yakuza run off after Joey, Seto runs to the Kaiba Crops' main computer and puts the virus destroyer disc into the computer.

The gunshots outside the office are getting more rapid. Seto is very worry. He wishes he can get out of the office and go look for Joey. "Don't you get shot again, mutt. I will never forgive myself if you do." Seto mutters.

"Virus identified and destroyed." The computer says right before the clock strikes 12. Seto stops the virus on time.

The gunshots outside are going wild now. Seto wishes he can run out and look for Joey; but he still has to get evidences that Ginoh uses Kaiba Crops to laundry dirty money. He starts searching for the files of Ginoh's transaction in the main computer system.

After a lot of searching, Seto finds those files. He takes out his palm top, plugs it into the computer and starts downloading the files. Suddenly the noise of guns firing outside stop.

"Why did they stop shooting? Did they shot Joey?" Seto's heart turns cold. He forgets about everything and runs out.

Outside the office, Seto hears one of the Yakuza shouts, "where is he?"

"Go look for him!" Another Yakuza shouts.

Seto takes a breath of relief. The Yakuza stopped firing because they lose sight of Joey. Joey is still alive and safe from the Yakuza.

Seto tries to sneak away but the Yakuza see him. "Hey! Kaiba is here!" The Yakuza shouts. They run after Seto and fire their guns at him. Seto sees a laundry chute opens and jumps into it.

"Follow him!" The Yakuza jump down the laundry chute.

Seto slides all the way down to a room in the basement and falls into a cart filled with laundry towels. He gets out of the cart and runs out through the door closest to him.

On the other side of the door is the underground parking lot. Seto runs as fast as he can on the parking lot, but the Yakuza catch up with him. The Yakuza surround Seto and say to him, "You gave us too much trouble, Mr. Kaiba. We will make sure your death is a slow and painful one."

The Yakuza are about to beat Kaiba up when Joey charges toward them on a motorcycle. When the Yakuza follow Seto down the chute to the basement, Joey follows the Yakuza. The blonde then steals one of the Yakuza's bikes and rides it to go help Seto.

"Seto! Get on!" Joey shouts as he knocks the Yakuza down. Seto jumps onto the motorcycle and sits behind Joey. The motorcycle speeds away. The Yakuza get on their cars and chase after the motorcycle.

As the motorcycle speeds onto the highway, Joey's hair brushes Seto's face and makes Seto's heart flutters. Seto has to fight the urge to rub his face on those silky blonde hairs. The BEWD master tightens his arms around Joey's slender waist. He presses his chest onto Joey's back and nudges his inner thighs around Joey's legs.

Seto rests his chin on Joey's head. Being this close to Joey makes Seto feels wonderful; it makes Seto forgets about everything. His mind is completely peaceful and relaxed. Seto doesn't even remember the Yakuza is after him until Joey shouts, "there are too many of the Genyosha's people around! I can't get away!"

Seto now notices that the highway is filled with Genyosha's cars. Joey's motorcycle is boxed in the middle of all the cars and there is no way Joey can escape from all of them. The car behind Joey is going to hit the motorcycle any second.

Joey sees an Overpass up ahead. Under the Overpass a truck is driving through. The blonde speeds onto the Overpass and shouts, "Kaiba, hold on very tight to me and don't let go no matter what happened!"

"Aww, you want me to hold you and never let you go?" Kaiba teases.

"Will you shut up!" Joey says as he hops his motorcycle and makes it bounces off the edge of the Overpass. The bike flies out to the sky.

"You crazy mutt!" Seto screams as he holds onto Joey tight. (If you are flying 80 ft above ground on a motorcycle that is going 100 miles per hour, you will hold on tight too.)

The motorcycle lands on top of the truck that went under the overpass. As soon as the motorcycle lands, Joey screams on top of his lung, "Seto Kaiba! Get your hands off me, you PERVERT!"

The wind blows Joey's shirt up when the motorcycle flies out to the sky; and Seto's hands get under Joey's shirt since the wind blows it up. Seto's hands are holding tight on Joey's bare skin.

"I can't help myself. Your body feels so good." Seto teases as he caresses Joey's body playfully.

"Stop touching me!" Joey screams.

"How cute, puppy is shy."

"Get serious! We have to think about what we do next. We loose them now but we can't keep running, sooner or later Ginoh will catch up with us. We got to get you out of the country."

"I'm flattered that you ask me to elope with you, my dear. But I'm sure Ginoh's Yakuza is waiting for me at the airport."

"We're not eloping! We're running for our lives!" Joey says, "If Ginoh is waiting for you at the airport, we'll get to the harbour. There are a lot of fish boats and one of them will take us to Hong Kong. Ginoh will never expect us to leave on a fish boat."

When the two of them arrive at the Harbour, Ginoh's Yakuza are already there guarding the place. "How did they manage to always be at the place that we're going to?" Seto asks.

"It doesn't look like they're waiting for us. They're loading cargos. Ginoh must be smuggling things out. It's okay. If they are putting all their attention on the cargo, they will not notice us." Joey says.
