The next day or a few hours after wheeler came I went to class. I was there before tally or tea or anybody. I went over to the desk and looked out the window. The door opened. It was tally. She looked at me. I went over. "What happened last night?" I said. "We danced." she said. "Like--booty?" "Um that's it." she looked at me. "Joey come on. I liked it." "Um." I grinned. She liked it. "Look. I wanna see you more. Maybe we can go out on Friday night--like a date?" "Um." "We'll talk about it later." a group of girls she was friends with came in and she went over there with them. I went in my seat. Tally and me. The door opened. Yugi and tristian came in. yugi didn't look good. He looked at me. He went over. "What were you doing?" he said. "With my cousin Joey." Tristian looked at me. "She liked it." he went away. I went up and out into the hall. I had to find wheeler. last night had been really weird. Then the doors at the end of the hall open. wheeler came in. his hair was messy. He looked tired. His clothes--my clothes--were messy.
"hey kaiba." he said as he went into the class.
I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the bathroom.
"What?" he asked.
I started fixing his hair.
"ya look stupid." I mumbled trying to fix him. "I neva dress like dat."
Joey shrugged.
"So? Im sick of this kaiba." he went away from me. "You're makin me nervous. Like last night. How do I know you won't go nuts on me again?"
"How do I know chu won't "go nuts" on me?"
I stopped.
"I already said I dont know what happened. Get over it. Somebody musta spiked da punk. ok?"
"I think we need to get help." he said.
"For this?" I asked. "Yeah no kiddin' but I doubt there's a help line for teens who switch bodies. Especially important high profile teens and low iq idiot teens. Dont ya agree wheela'?"
"I aint kiddin' Kaiba." he said. "We should ask Tristian."
"He doesnt have an iq bigga den chu."
"It's worth a shot. Come on I dont wanna be late."
"Wow wheela'. In a rush to stuff MORE of my grades to flush down da toilet?"
"At least I didnt booty dance with yugis cousin mr. kaiba."

It was well after class when I caught tristian going over to yugis house.
"Tristian." I yelled then remembered it wouldn't look "kaiba" like for me to yell his name down the hall.
Like the word by the way--kaiba like?
Describes my life lately.
He looked around to face me anyway. He snuck away from yugi who was blabbing on how nice tea looked at the party.
"Yeah what's up?" he asked then looked weird. "Is it kaiba again? Maybe we should skip all the talking this time and get him over the head with a bat or something."
"No no." I said. "We need you to help us figure out why kaiba was acting like he did...and if Il ever do it."
"If I knew I would have said something last night." he looked at yugi who was far away.
I gotta go. Call me tonight ok?"
He went off to yugi who was obviously becoming his new best friend.
I went toward the hall to get my stuff when I heard a kick and a muffled yell. I looked down an empty hall to see a group of guys who were all dressed in suits kicking something in the middle of the hall. whoever it was was curled into a ball and let out yells of pain. I went over to them and heard what they were telling whoever they were kicking.
"This is for not giving us the answers to the history test." the nearest guy yelled.
He kicked.
"This is for not paying our tacky dresser fee of 1000 yen." the next yelled.
He kicked.
"this is or making fun of us and thinking you could get away with it." the last yelled.
He kicked.
"And this is for our leader seto kaiba." they all said together and kicked the best they could.
I went over to them.
"What are you guys doing?" I said.
They all looked at me and gave me a salute.
"Hi mr. Kaiba sir." they all said together.
"were filling out orders sir." the nearest guy the leader said.
"Orders? I dont now you guys."
"Yes but this is what you would have said if you were the leader of the future ceos of america club. "The last guy said in a light girlie voice.
I looked at the leader.
"If you guys ever do anything like this again and tell people I said to do it Il hunt each of you down and kill you. Got it?"
They nodded awkwardly.
"Now go." I said.
They left without any other words. I looked down at the girl on the floor. She had a large black eye and a bruise on her check. Her books were scattered all over the floor. Then I recognized her. Serena.
"Serena?" I asked.
"You made them leave?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Why? They said you sent them."
"They lied." I got her off the floor. "Is that why you hit me the other day?"
She looked at the spot on the floor she had just been.
"yeah." she said. "they've been doing this for a couple weeks now. They said that you sent them. I tried ignoring them but they wanted money and for me to cheat off tests for them. They made fun of the way I dressed and the stuff I liked. They always found me when Id hide. They'd hit me for a long time until an hour after class was over at least. They said if I said anything itd only get worse. They wouldn't just hit me though. The blonde guy I think his names Simon hed start kissing my neck and face and then touch my. "she stopped. "...You know."
We had started to leave the school by now. My mouth hung open. She seemed so calm about the whole thing. Those pervs. If I ever got my hands on them or if they ever got there hands on her Id kill them. I looked at Serena and grinned.
"If there's anything I can do to make it up to you. Just say the words. homework help. lunch for a year. a private jet. I have the money."
She laughed. I noticed her beautiful smile.
"How about you come over to my place friday after class. I need some help sending some of my pictures to this gallery in tokyo. How's that?"
I nodded.
"Cool. Want me to give you a ride to your house?" I asked pointing to the limo.
"Sure."

I was going down the place to get to wheelers house. The sky was kinda cloudy and only a few people were outside. I walked with my hands jammed into my pants and didnt make ye contact with many people. I had a lot on my mind. What would I wear on friday? Where would tally wanna go? Where was I gonna get the money take her anywhere? I could always ask wheeler. But I didnt want him knowing I was going on a date. Well he was going on the date. I was taking his body. But no Id think of something. I went around the corner. I could see the apartment from where I was. icy wind hit so I went there to get warm again. I went up the stairs and to the door. There waiting for me was a girl with long hair. She looked about 13 and when she saw me she let out a shrill shriek. I yelled to.
"Joey." she screamed throwing her arms around my neck in a suffocating hug.
"Cant breathe...need air...help." I squeaked.
Then she let go with a giggle.
"Well?" she asked. "Aren't you going to invite me inside your new apartment?"
"Depends." I asked taking a step back. "Who exactly are you?"
The girl stuck out her bottom lip in a pout.
"serenity." she said in a whiney voice.
Oh yeah. His kid sister. Better be nice.
I put on a fake grin.
"I know." I said unlocking the door. :"come in.:
She squealed and bounced in like chibi high off of sugar.
"ooooooooooh." she cried beginning to poke around. "What's this? How can you afford a tv this nice? Where did you get this money? Did you rob a bank? Ill tell mom if you did? Are you married? Do you have any kids? Are they mutants like from x men? That'd be cool. I wanna be storm. whoosh. Where does your girl friend sleep? Is she pretty? Do you have a girl friend? Are you gay? If you are are you going out with Tristian? Tristians cuuute. Think hed go out with me? How's class? How bad are you failing? Are you on the honor role? ew look at this place. It's a mess. Do you have a maid? Is she on vacation? Is she your girl friend? How big is you thing? Do you have a thing? Are you a virgin? I am. What's for dinner? Are you in love? Where's the bathroom? It's my time of the month. Do you have pads? What do you prefer pads or tampons? I wore a tampon but it got stuck up there so we went to the hospital and I got blood on the doctor. He didnt mine though. I asked. I wear a size a bra now joey. Its bigger then some girls in my class. Im trying out for cheerleading. Where you a male cheerleader? youd look weird in a skirt. uncle harry looked good in a skirt. Remember last Christmas where we threw the turkey to the neighbor's pool and harry went to get it and his skirt went up? Ide never seen a naked man before then? Have you? Have you ever put on a skirt? I have. So did moms boy friend. They broke up cause he bent another way. mom says she only wants men that are rich. Joey what's wrong?"
My mouth hung open. It's official. All wheelers were not well.
"Do you always do this?" I asked.
"Do what?" asked serenity then she saw the hershys bar. "ooh candy."
I grabbed it form her.
"Im thinking ma doesnt let you have candy." I said.
She giggled.
"How'd ya know?" she asked with a perky tone in her voice.
"Lucky freakin guess."
"ooooooooh." she wagged her finger at me. "mom says we can't say that. Im gonna tell."
"I dont live with chu and ma any more. dats why your here in my apartment."
"Look it's late. ma is probably worried bout chu. Why dont you go back to wherever chu came from hum?"
She shook her head.
"But big brother." she whined. "I wanna stay with you."
"No serenity go."
"You dont love me." she cried and began to let big tears go down her checks.
"No Im sorry. dont cry."
"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"Come on I love ya really." I tried calming her down.
"Nobody caaaaaaaaaaaaares." she howled sending water splashing only my clothes.
"Come on. Want candy?"
"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"Stop."
"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
"MOKUBA STOP IT."
She stopped.
"What did you call me?" she asked. Mokuba? Isn't that kaibas brother. I though you hated kaiba."
I stopped. oops.
"Well." I said beginning to go towards the door. "Look at the time. You go ta ma. Tell her I love her. Careful crosin da place. Pervs out der chu know? Call me when chu get dere. Love ya bye."
She went out the door and I closed it behind her.
Maybe shell get hit by something on her way to her house? Maybe.

I got back to the mansion a couple hours after dropping Serena off. I found out she likes anime like me and she's been to new york and can do the accent. She did it really good. She draws really good. She's funny. kinda dark but she's gothic what did I expect? I pulled up to the mansion and got out. Rowland opened the door for me.
"Hi mr kaiba." he said.
I nodded to him like kaiba would.
I went up stairs to the dinning room to find mokuba looking around frantically for something. I knew he was still thinking about last night and me coming to the house so late but I decided to ask him what he was doing anyway.
"Um whatcha looking for mokuba?" I asked.
He looked at me.
"Where were you?" he barked. "I thought you weren't coming back until late again. You have a stack as big as me of work on the new park to finish."
"I."
"But he left to his room before I could finish. I took a deep breathe and followed. I went to his room and banged on the door.
"Mokuba it's me." I said.
The door opened just a bit and I went in. The room looked some like mine. There were food and clothes and other stuff lying around. He was on the bed looking at the roof. I noticed it had a poster for an anime show on it.
"Look Im sorry ok? I was out with my friend Serena."
He looked at me and went up.
"Serena?" that weird girl who does spells? I see her at the store sometimes. Are you nuts? She's a freak." he cried.
"She's not a freak." I yelled back.
"Oh not a freak." he said mockingly. "So I see. Let me see if Im right. youve been with this girl instead of your own brother. Though I said she was a freak and said I dont like. right?"
"Mokuba I..."
"So she obviously more important then me huh? Your own flesh and blood."
"Mokuba..."
"Seto why are you doing this to me?"
"Look mokuba..." I tried to say."
"big brother."
"Im not. Im sorry."
"big brother."
"IM NOT YOUR BROTHER." I yelled.
The room got quiet. Mokuba stared at me like he was gonna cry.
"w-what?" he asked quietly. "You're disowning me?"
I sighed. He had me boxed in. Then I had an idea. I started laughing. Mokuba stared at me like I was out of my mind. He took a step back.
"Why are you acting like this seto?" he asked. "Is somebody mind controlling you? Like marik?"
"Little mokuba." I laughed. "Im not mind controlled. That whole Im not your brother thing was a joke."
He though for a moment then looked at me.
"A joke?" he snapped. "Seto never does jokes. And nobody calls me that name except pegasus."
Then he jumped and grabbed throat and shook me.
"Get out of my brother you white haired freak." he screamed as he cut off my air supply.
"Mokuba... I can't breathe." I gasped trying to ply his sticky fingers from me. He wouldn't budge though.
"Die pegasus die." he screamed squeezing me.
"owowowowowowowow." I yelled. "Get off."
He didnt though. Finally I fell over from lack of oxygen.
He let go and kicked me in kaibas mr brightside.
"That's right. "he spat. "go back where you came from you white-haired-millenium-eye-wearing-soul-stealing-brother snatching-power-hungry-no-good-dirty-distcusting-dumb-butt-son-of-a-"
"Mokuba." I went up gasping for air.
He beamed at me and grabbed me around the neck in a hug. Yet again cutting off my oxygen supply.
God this kid really wants me to die huh? Think it has something to do with him inheriting the company?
"oh seto." he cried as he crushed me. "Pegasus was in you and he was using your body to take over the company but I stopped him. He said I wasn't his brother. Then he laughed and called me that name and said it was a joke. But you never tell jokes so I choked him then kicked him in the privates then you came back and Im hugging you and-seto you ok? You look blue."
I managed to push his crushing self off me. This kid was weird. But I might as well go along with it.
"oh yeah." I said. "He switched our bodies. He was going around ruining my life and stealing the only girl who ever paid attention to me. He constantly needs caffeine. Did you know that? Well anyway he does. I had to go to all his dumb business meetings and couldn't tell anybody but I did by accident when. Never mind. Im um happy to be back mokuba. Thanks."
He smiled and leapt up.
"Tell you what." he said. "Well sue him. But for now Im gonna go eat something with chocolate and "he looked at me to see if I cared. "...Then Ill go find my video games then you can work on your paper work. bye."
He bounced away and down the stairs. I sighed and went down on the bed.
It's official. all kaibas are not well.
I haven't been really hungry in a long time.
