The Forbidden Love
Chapter Five: Heroes Into The Fold
Back at Domino City, the figure is waiting at the city square; waiting for a certain someone. Suddenly, he sees his prospect. A young tall man with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. He approaches the man and the man stops, surprised. The figure then speaks.
"Mr. Wheeler, I presume."
"Yeah, what's it to yeah?"
"How would you like to have a job."
"A job? I've been looking for a job all day. Does it have to do with anything evil?"
"Nothing of the sort, Mr. Wheeler. How would you like to have dinner with me at Domino's expensive dinning restaurant. My treat."
"Is this some sort of a trick?"
"No trick. Please, I insist. Be there at seven and I'll meet you there. We'll discuss the future plans of your job. Bring a friend. Just one…" The figure walks off as Joey is left there wondering.
"A job? Should I trust him?"
The clock strikes seven several hours later. The figure waits patiently. Suddenly, a black furry thing pops out from his coat jacket.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" a voice asks.
"Trust me. This is for his own good."
"I know you. You like to play with your patients before getting them to the real situation. I'm just saying that you shouldn't do it for this one. Seto has a lot of things on his mind."
"Exactly. You see, this specific problem is something that has been bothering Seto for a while. I'm just doing a favor. Now be silent, Joey's coming."
"I hope you know what you're getting into…" the thing jumps back into the pocket. The figure comes out from the shadows as Joey and a spiky haired boy come in their formal wear.
"We're here!" Joey announces.
"Ah, Mr. Wheeler." The figure looks at the spiky haired boy. "Bringing an advocate, I see."
"Don't take it personally," Joey explained. "Yug insisted that I bring him along."
"As protection?"
"As a reference," Joey said forcingly.
"Then in that case would you be joining us, Mr. Muto?"
"I don't want to intrude. If it's too much…"
"Nah, Yug. Don't worry about it. This guy is paying for our grub. Aren't you?"
"Indeed I am. Besides, I may have a job for you, too. Well, let us be off." The three of them walked inside the fancy restaurant. The figure then picked a secluded spot in which it was a window seat that overlooked the city. They ordered their food and while waiting, Joey asked the question that started the conversation.
"So, what about this job."
"Oh, yes. About that. I'll be blunt. I've been observing a…patient of mine and seeing that you are closely involved with him in some of your travels, I would believe that you would be compelled in helping him."
"Wait a minute, who are we talking about?"
The figure took a sip of his cup and mumbled in it, "Seto Kaiba."
"Who?" Yugi asked.
The figure put down the glass and said again, "Seto Kaiba. I hate it when I have to repeat myself."
"THAT SNOTTY RICH BOY!" Joey shouted. Everyone looked at him. He laughed nervously.
"Joey!" Yugi scolded.
"Sorry…but Kaiba? Why him?"
"Lately his relationship with his brother has been deteriorating. In an effort, I have become actively involved in his…therapy."
"So what would you want us to do?" Joey asked. "You want us to rough him up or something? Put him straight?"
"No, no. I would like you to…become his helpers in his therapy."
"What do you mean by that?" Yugi asked.
The figure then whispered to them, "I have magical abilities but unlike the people you encountered I use my powers for good. You are aware of his whereabouts, correct?"
"Yeah," Joey said. "But what can we do?"
"I can grant you the ability to teleport from one place to another and back again. I give you messages which in turn you will deliver to Kaiba. You can use these powers as you please."
The two thought for a moment. Then Yugi spoke, "If it means doing it for Mokuba, then I'm in."
"Yugi?" Joey asked. "What are you…"
"Don't you see, Joey? The relationship with Mokuba is the only thing Kaiba has left. Without that…well, I'm worried that he may do something suicidal."
"Yeah. Now that you've mentioned it he has gotten more depressed. Okay, I'm in too."
"Then it's settled."
"Just to be sure. If you have magical powers, prove it!"
"Joey!" Yugi warned.
"Do not worry, Mr. Muto. I'll make our friend here a believer. Just wait till our food gets here." Their foods came. The figure had fish and chips and Yugi had a Caesar salad. Joey had a huge steak with potatoes.
"Watch quietly and learn," the figure said. He pointed his finger at the steak and with a red light the steak was on fire."
"HOLY…" Joey yelled. "MY STEAK!"
"Don't worry Mr. Wheeler, your steak is fine. See…" and just as he was saying this, the steak was good as new.
"How did you…" Joey asked.
"Now do you believe me?"
"Yea…yeah, sure…I'll believe anything."
After their dinner they walked outside of the restaurant.
The figure warned, "You can never tell anyone about this."
"So, how do we contact you?" Yugi asked.
"You don't. I contact you."
"That's weird," Joey pointed out. "How do we activate these freaky powers anyways." The figure turned to walk away. He shouted back, "Just think of the place you want to go and your there." He disappeared into the darkness.
"Think of the place? Okay…if he says is true then…" in an instant, he vanished.
"Joey? Joey, where did you? Oh, I guess it worked. Well, let's see…" Yugi thought of going home and soon enough, he appeared there. Joey was at his home as well. Both were surprised of their results and so continued with their daily lives until they were called upon. Back at the figure's place, he was at his favorite place on the balcony. The thing that hid in his coat pocket jump out and went on his shoulder.
"Well, you gave them their powers. I hope that you're happy."
"You worry too much. Don't worry, I have everything under control." The thing flew back inside. The figure turned looked at the moon and then the clouds covering the moon. He said to himself, quietly.
"Now Mr. Kaiba. I believe that the next move…is yours…"
Now that Joey and Yugi are in on the plan…what is the plan anyways? Please R&R.
