-Joey's pov.-
I heard the sudden beep of the machine from inside but thought nothing of it. All I heard was Serena's words.
"London." I echoed.
She nodded.
"It seems far away now." She said, taking up my hands and clutching them tightly. "But I can call you and stuff. We can still be...ya know...together. That is if we are together..."
I took my hands and kissed hers.
"Of course there's an us." I said softly.
She grinned. It was quiet for a moment until the doors flew open and Yugi popped his head out of the double glass doors. There was silence as I looked back at him.
"Guys?" he asked, his face look pale. "Kaiba's crashing."
Then my heart stopped. I looked at Serena again and she nodded.
"Go." She said, letting go of my hands then giving me a soft grin.
There was silence for a split second as I went into the emergency room. I went to the other room where I saw doctors and nurses all crowed around Kaiba's form. My body. I heard somebody crying beside the window of the room. I looked to my side and saw the crying form of Tally. She quivered, her head buried in her hands as she sobbed into her fingers. I cleared my throat and it didn't other her.
Crap. Now I gotta get involved.
I touched her arm and she jumped. Her eyes met mine with a startling redness from crying. Her whole body shook and tears poured from her eyes.
"It's my fault." She got out through sobs.
I looked at her confused.
"No its not." I said. "It's mine. If I ..."
It was quiet as she stopped him.
"No!" she cried loudly. "I went int there! He crashed! It's my fault!"
She cried louder and I could only watch. Maybe it's because I was in Kaiba's body or it could have been the fact I was still trying to soak it in, I just didn't feel anything. I looked in numbly and saw them charging he chargers to jolt him back to life. My own heart thumped wildly. What if they couldn't do anything? I saw the chargers go onto my chest...
-Kaiba's pov-
"Clear!"
I felt something pump through my chest. My skin suddenly felt a flash of heat and I drew a hard difficult breath into my lungs. I felt like I HADN'T taken a breath in a long time. I jolted off the bed and fell back onto the sheets. There was the low murmur of doctors sighting with relief and checking my pulse and such. I blinked a couple times, a strand of blond hair flopped into my face. The door flew open to the room and I saw Wheeler come in. I suddenly remembered the anger I felt towards him and I snarled. Tally was behind him though. She went past him and tossed herself onto me. Tears were still damp on her face as she clutched me tightly.
"You're alive." She said through a long sob.
I nodded and stroked the back of her head.
"I'm fine Tal'." O laughed. "Ya' Joey's fine."
She pulled back, a ray of anger burned behind her curtain of tears.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. "Who you really are?"
There was a pause and I sighed.
"Lemme guess..." I said, finally allowing my true anger to shine through my tone. "He said somethin'?"
She nodded.
"It's alright though." She said. "I forgive you."
She kissed my face then left the room. Wheeler cleared his throat and approached the bed. He looked at me with a half grin.
"hey." He mumbled in a voice that was far from either mine or his. "Look about pushing-into-open-traffic thing.."
Doesn't he make me sound smart?
"...well I'm sorry ya ended up in the hospital over it." He said with a nod. "And I'm sorry I tattooed your arm."
Hehe. I win.
He stopped then looked at me.
"Well?" he asked.
Don't tell me he wants what I think he wants...
"What?" I asked.
"Don't you have something you wanna say to me?"
...damn.
"No." I looked away and out the window at the outside.
Wheeler sighed loudly and threw u his arms.
"Why not?" he asked.
There was silcne.
"Well I'm sorry I got these damn piercing'." I mumbled as I scratched at them.
He sighed.
"Close enough." He mumbled as he looked at me.
"There was the longest uncomfortable silcne I had ever sat through. Wheeler moved around like he had something he wanted to say. He finally sighed and looked hm over.
"Where did ya get the scars?" he asked.
There was silence. I felt a flash of embarrassment
"What?"
He lifted his shirt up and shoed me his scars all over my back. I looked at them closely. It had been so long since I had seen them. I had the sudden urge to reach out and touch them. I sighed loudly and looked Wheeler over. I didn't owe him an explanation but I guess...
"They're from my step father." I said finally. "I would try and..hurt myself."
It was hard to talk about. I could still feel those memories bubbling around inside my head like an angry bug. Wheeler had fallen quiet as he looked away. He sighed loudly, there was almost a scoff of scorn in his voice. I looked at him angrily.
"To think you of all...would be unhappy." He said lowly. "You're rich. How could that...that be?"
He looked away and sighed. He touched his forehead then looked back at me . There was a flash of something in his eyes I had never seen.
"It's aright though. I guess you have every right to be unhappy too."
He got it?
Don't tell me...
WHEELER
Understands?
Wow.
This is almost as weird as switching in the first place.
He finally sighed.
"I don't think we're gonna be able to switch back." He said sadly.
I nodded.
"Yeah..." I said, my voice trailing off. "..."
It wouldn't be that bad right? I mean, I could finally live a normal life that I've heard so much about and Wheeler could take care of my business and Mokuba and finances...right?
Dude, I'm screwed.
Did I just say dude? It's getting worse...
-Joey's pov-
It was the next morning. They were letting Kaiba out. Never mind he had almost died. Never mind he was in critical condition, I said for them to let him out and they did. It is the only upside to being a Kaiba. They let ya do anything ya want. Hehe. Never mind it could put somebody in danger, it' all about the Benjamin's. It was the next day, like I said, at the airport. I looked at Serena with a sad grin. She adjusted the bag in her hands and le a tear escape down her face. I wiped it away with my finger.
"Call everyday?" she asked.
I nodded.
"I promise." I said, Kissing her head. "Don't cheat on me?"
"I promise." She said, gripping my hand tighter.
There was an awkward silence. There was a jolt of electricity as I touched her hand and I shuddered. I loved her so much. If there was some way...any way...that I could kiss her inside my real body I would.
"I wish..." she said. "...I didn't have to kiss you in your fake body."
I nodded as I hugged her and stroked her hair. I felt it slip through my fingers and let the strands hang thre limply.
"Yeah." I whispered as I closed my eyes. "Me too."
As I touched her hair, another jolt bolted through me. This jolt hurt though. Not your typical touch-another-person shock. Trust me, I know my share of being electrocuted. I opened my eyes.
-Kaiba's pov-
It was moments earlier.
It was quiet as I clutched Tally's hand in my own. I love the way her hand sits perfectly in mine. Her hair shone in the sunlight streaming through the windows of the airports as we watched Joey and Tally hug goodbye. I looked at Tally, her huge violet eyes never left them.
"Its cute how much she is gonna miss him." She said softly.
I nodded.
Cute.
Watching my body cuddle some goth girl?
Yeah,
Real "cute."
I touched Tally's other hand and felt a slight jolt press through my skin. I pulled back in the pain but she clutched my hand tighter. It was nice how much she wanted to be near. I let my hand in hers loosely. She pressed her hand tighter and I felt a painful jolt travel through me. I squinted my eyes in pain.
"That hurt." I mumbled.
"Hurt?" a voice asked me. "What hurt?"
I opened my eyes. I was cuddling some girl. I let go in a sudden fear then realized how high up I was. Had I grown? I looked at my body. White trenchcoat. A black shirt and jeans? I touched my hair and saw a glimmer of brown and a grin warmed on my face. I looked at Serena who blinked, confused.
"Joey?" she asked.
"Not anymore!" I said, sounding excited.
-Joey's pov-
I opened my eyes again and found myself clutching Tally's hand.
That was weird...
She looked at the consuf look on my face ad frowned.
"What's wrong Seto?" she asked.
"Seto?" I laughed. "No I'm Joey!"
She smiled widely and let go o my hand.
"No kidding?" she asked.
It was quiet as I nodded then realized what was going on.
(A/N
Kaiba: See what an idiot this guy is!
Joey: Shut up Kaiba! This is my narration not yours!
Kaiba: Make me wheeler!)
It was my body all right. It was lanky. Like my body. My hair was yellow again and I was wearing my green jacket and white shirt. The familiar scent of my cloths filled the air. I was suddenly feeling like I was floating on air. I smiled and went past Tall and to the dumbstruck Serena. She saw me as I scooped her around the waist and kissed her lips. It was quiet as she jumped as she kissed back. I could feel her staring to smile as we pulled back and looked into each others eyes. She was finally seeing my eyes. In all their brown glory. She touched the side of my face with her hand and let her fingers entwine around a strand of blonde hair. It was quiet as she laughed.
"Is that you in there?" she asked.
I nodded.
"It's me." I whispered and kissed her.
Serena clung around my neck and kissed me.
"Just it time for me leave." She said softly.
It was quiet that I loed at the clock and saw that her flight was boarding. I sighed and looked ar her terminal behind her.
"I love you." I whispered. "Now ya better go."
She nodded.
"See you soon."
She went to the terminal and boarded. I watched her go. I felt a smile creep onto my face, knowing she was thinking of me as I turned around to feel the shock of behind me again. I laughed loudly and jumped in the air.
"I'm me!" I cried with a laugh.
Kaiba, in the middle of making of with Tally, sighed loudly. Tea who had been with the guys and such getting food, came over.
"What's up with you Kaiba?" asked Tristian, looking freaked out.
With that I laughed.
"Kaiba?" I echoed. "I'm Joey!"
Tea tossed her ice cream cone onto the ground and hugged him around the neck. Yugi smiled broadly as Tristian clapped him on the back.
"Good to have ya home buddy." He said with a laugh.
There was the sound of somebody clearing their throaty. I looked at Saw Kaiba with his arm around Tally.
"Joey." He said coolly. "Stop jumping around like that."
Well I just shook my head.
"Well ya know Kaiba?" he said. "I tink we learned a valuable lesson he'a. That we should get along and try and be more friendly..."
That accent felt good in the right mouth.
Then, to my surprise, Kaiba laughed.
"Stupid mutt." He said coolly. "All I know is that I'm happy to be out of that dump of a body"
They sighed. I Blinked.
"After all that!" I snapped. "It's still jerk to me?"
With that, he shrugged and went off with Tally. Tristian shook his head.
"Well some things never change." He said.
-it was meanwhile on Pegasus' island...
It was quiet as Pegasus opened his mail that morning. He saw a letter with the Kaiba corp logo on it.
"Hmm.." he said as he slit in open and began reading aloud. "Maxamillion Pegasus, you're currently being summoned and sued for the illegal use of your once stolen and somehow regained millennium eye and switching places with one Seto Kaiba and wanting to take over his compony and hurt his little bother, Mokuba Kaiba. What?"
He sighed loudly then stopped.
"That wouldn't be a bad idea..." he said, his once empty eye socket glittering with the newly found eye., He laughed lowly.
This was not gonna end well.
...it's over. People, it's over! Ya, I kno. . Well review and let me kno if u want a sequal. . Until next time.
O ya.
