A/N: In this chapter the sex of Joey's and Seto's child will be reviled

Chapter Five

It had been four week since Malik was attacked and everyone was on edge all expect Duke who was enjoying the fear that was on the faces of those he hated. He was in his basement planning another attacked. He was upset that the three that he paid to attack Malik were missing but it didn't take long to find some more goons he could pay to do his bidding. He had found a taker and told him what he wanted and the taker seemed excited by the information Duke gave him. Duke had wired half the payment and the other would be sent once the job was done. Once his transaction was done he made sure that the connection was non-traceable then he left his basement and locked it. He then left his house and headed for Tea's so he could take her to Kabia's Medical Center so she could be there when Malik left the Medical Center.

(Scene Change: Medical Center)

Ishizu and Odion had made it to the medical center and they were waiting for Malik to be released. Ishizu was having a hard time getting her mind around the idea that it was her brother that was in the hospital. She never thought that this would ever happen to them again after Marik banished their father to the Shadow Realm. Odion on the other hand was calm because he knew that he had to be. He had to be there of his brother and sister. He could not let them down since they legally adopted him as their brother. As they tried to pull themselves together for Malik, Malik was in hell battling his own demons.

Malik had never been so scared before and now weeks after his assault he seemed to be falling into a depression and it seemed that no one could help him. Marik had tried to get through to his light by talking and their mind-link but Malik had e up walls and blocked his Yami out. Marik was frustrated but he kept trying until last week when Malik screamed at Marik that it was his entire fault. Marik screamed at Malik to grow up and now they were both at a stand still.

The others didn't know what to do, all but Joey. He knew who it felt to be hapless and weak. The fear of knowing what is going to happen to his body but not able to stop the violation. He wanted to talk to Malik but Seto feared that it Joey did that he would be placing himself and their unborn child in danger. Seto feared that the memories of what happen to Joey and what Joey's father did to him could overload Joey's mind and this could lead him to a miscarriage or break his mind and Joey would just be a shell. Joey knew how Seto felt but he could not allow his friend be trapped in the hell of his own mind if there was light at the end of the tunnel. Joey went into Malik's room even though he had asked for no one to bother him.

(Scene Change: Malik's Room)

Joey walked in to a dark room and walked into the chair next to the door

"Get out!" Malik yelled. He knew when the nurses came in to change his bandages, check his vital signs and bring his medication and this was not a nurse.

"Malik, can I talk to you just a bit?" Joey asked. His voice was soft so he didn't get Malik upset.

"Why? You want to let me know that all will be fine and that I will be okay because this happened to you. I don't need a lecture what I need is for you to leave."

"Sorry but I can't because you are right I am here to let you know that you will be okay but I will not force you to talk to me I will just set down in this chair and I will be here if you need to talk." Joey sat down in the same chair he walked into.

Malik kept his gaze away from Joey but he was glad that someone would be in the room while he slept it made him feel safe. He closed his eyes and caught up on the sleep that he desperately needed.

(Scene Change: Waiting Room of the Medical Center)

While Joey was in Malik's room trying to help him, Tea showed up with Duke at her side. She went over to talk with Yugi and Yami to see if they knew how Malik was doing while Duke tried to chat up Seto.

"Is there any improvement in his condition?" Tea asked Yugi.

"He is healing fine and can be released but his doctors are concerned about his mental health. He had been yelling at everyone. He last victim was Marik. He yelled that the entire assault was Marik's fault. Marik had left and hasn't been back since but he is always calling one of us to update him on Mailk's condition." Yugi said

"Joey, now has gone to talk to Malik." Yami added.

"Kabia allowed that?" Tea asked. She has come to see the protective arm Kabia had wrapped around Joey.

"Joey just looked at Kabia and told him that this was something that he had to do. Kabia nodded then Joey entered Malik's room and has been there since." Yugi said

Tea could not believe that Kabia would allow Joey out of his sight. She looked over at the CEO and saw Duke trying to start up a conversation but Kabia's attention was on the door of Malik's room.

"Kabia what do you think abut that?" Duke asked.

"What?" Kabia asked. He had no idea what Duke was talking about.

"Nothing." Duke said and then his phone rang. He got up and went outside. The call was from the goon. He had the next victim in his sight and wanted to know if he should move now. Duke gave him the all clear. Duke walked back in and headed over to Tea. "I have to go. Can you find a way home?"

"We'll take her home." Yugi said.

"Fine." With that Duke left because this time he wanted to watch his next victim be hurt to here the victim scream and cry for mercy.

Tea was a little shocked about the way Duke has been acting but she let it slide because she belived it was from stress from work. She didn't want to jeopardize anything because for the last couple of weeks Duke and her were trying to start a relationship, well she was. Her thoughts were drifted back when she heard something.

The noise was a crying scream coming from Malik's room. Seto almost broke down the door. Yami ran to help. Odion and Ishizu also ran over to their brother's room to find out what the hell was going on. The nurses and doctors also came running. The nurses finally pushed everyone out of their way which didn't settle well with them. Once inside what they saw was Malik crying into Joey's arms. Malik wanted to know why, why did this have to happen to him, why did he hurt those around him, why was he so weak, why did he send Marik away. Joey just let him yell and scream because it was help Malik rid him of all the emotions that he was bottling up inside. Once Malik calmed down enough for the doctors and the psyche doctor looked at Malik it was said that Malik had a breakthrough and if he kept it up he would be able to be released soon. Joey left the room and Ishizu and Odion went in to see their brother.

"What did you do to get him to open up?" Yugi asked.

"Nothing, I just sat down and allowed him to open up. He wanted to open up but was scared of what would happen if he did. I know what it is like to hold everything in and the more you hold it in the harder it is to allow it to escape so you find ways to deal. Malik started to attack those around him so he wouldn't have to deal. I just stayed quite and he asked me questions about my abuse and I told him the truth and that broke the dam of his emotions and they started to flood out of him." Joey said. He sat down next to Seto who was looking at him.

"What?" Joey asked.

"Don't do that again. I will not allow you to put our child in danger again." Seto said.

"I didn't and allow me I am not your servant so don't go there or it is the couch for you." Joey said rubbing he stomach that was showing a little bugle where his and Seto's child was growing.

Yugi saw that this was going to get ugly so he tried to change the subject. "Joey, do you know what the sex of the baby is yet? I have been dying to know."

"What if they want it to be a surprise?" Yami asked.

"That is true but if they know the sex of the baby then they could know what to paint the nursery." Tea said backing up Yugi.

Joey looked at Seto and smiled. Seto nodded giving Joey the okay. "Well we wanted everyone here but I guess we can tell you and the rest later. A few days ago the doctor told us that we are having a little girl."

Yami laughed, Yugi's eyes bugged out and Tea was speechless. Seto was not amused at Yami laughing at them having a little girl. "What is so funny?" Seto asked.

"You, Seto Kabia raising a girl. It is funny. Ouch!" Yami yelled because Yugi stomped on his Dark's foot.

"I think that it wonderful. You daughter will be beautiful." Tea said. She went go sit down but before she bopped Yami in the head.

"Thank you." Joey said

"Ouch! Stop hitting me!" Yami yelled.

"Shhhh, we're in a hospital." Yugi reprimanded his Dark and in the background Seto's laughter could be heard

(Scene Change: Abandoned Warehouse outside of Domino)

Duke pulled up and walked in. He could smell chloroform and it almost knocked him out. He walked to the back area and there he saw someone tied up to a chair. He didn't expect to see this. The goon he paid came out from the shadows. Duke had a voice changer to change the sound of his voice.

"What the hell is going on. You said that you had the victim so what is he doing here?" Duke asked pointing the guy tied up in the chair.

"He was with the victim so we grabbed them both. We had chloroformed him three times but I don't think that he will be waking so. We have the other one ready to go if you wish to do first honors." The goon asked.

"No, but I will watch. Now Keith I want to hear him scream and cry. I need him to feel real pain.: Duke said.

"Whatever you want you're the boss." Keith walked into the back where he had tied Ryou to the bed. He was knocked from the chloroform. He was naked with bruises on his body. Keith got started torturing Ryou. The screams had awoken Bakura who was tied to a chair. Duke look behind and saw that Bakura was using shadow magic to break his bonds. Duke didn't tell Keith, he laid down an envelope and he high tailed it out of there.

Once free Bakura followed the source of the screams and found his light tied to a bed being violated by some guy. Keith turned around to see that the person that hired him was gone but he did have company. Bakura grabbed Keith off his light and before he sent him to the shadow realm he made him pay for what he did to Ryou.

Once Keith was gone he wrapped Ryou in some sheets that weren't used since Ryou's clothes were not shredded into rags. He didn't have a cell phone and there was no phone to be found. He used the last of his power to contact Yami and Marik to come and help him. He saw the envelope and he opened it. In it was a letter that was made up of letter clipped out of magazine. (A/N :Duke is using the same manner as Joey's dad did in His Eyes) The letter read: Two down one to go until the finale and then T.T. will be avenged and can finally rest Bakura had no idea what it meant he just hoped that someone would get there soon. He then blacked out.

(Scene Change: Medical Center)

Marik ran into the Medial Center and he found Yami who looked like he was having a major headache. Once it was over he looked to see Marik and they both knew that Bakura and Ryou were in need.

"Kabia there is an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts we need to get there now. Bakura and Ryou are hurt. Please we need to get to them." Yami almost yelled at the CEO.

"How do you know this?" Seto asked.

"He linked to us, which must mean that he is in bad shape for him to do that. Please Kabia we need to get to them." Yami explained. He kept Marik behind him because he was ready to go ape.

"Okay. You two come with me. Yugi, Tea please keep an eye on Joey until I get back." Seto said. He didn't know why but Joey's friends have become so entwined with his life they were also becoming his friends. He got up and walked out with the two yamis right behind him.

"Seto be careful." Joey said. Seto nodded and he left with the two yamis. On their way he called for a chopper and they headed for the roof.

At the roof they got in the chopper and took off. Once on the outskirts Yami and Marik knew where to go. They walked in carefully. The whole place smelt like chloroform that it almost knocked them out. They told Kabia to stay behind but he didn't listen and he walked into the warehouse and almost fainted. Yami yelled at him to stay back and get out of the warehouse. He and Marik made their way into the back and found Bakura shielding Ryou. They mentally told Bakura who they were and they were there to help. Yami threw Bakura over his shoulder while Marik cradled Ryou in his arms. He couldn't believe the sight of the little light and all he could think about was Malik. Why were they hurt. They got both of them into the chopper and got them to the Medical center .

What they didn't know was that a pair of eyes was watching them. Duke had hid his car and was watching them. Once Bakura and Ryou were taken he took off and headed to his house and once there he went to his basement. He had two more victims and needed to find more goons and make sure that no could trace Keith back to him so he hacked Tea's computer and make it look like she hired Keith and the three goons that hurt Malik. He also placed a fake diary entry about her love for over her but she got over it. He now was going to find more goons and make it look like Tea hired them and then lay back and watch the group of friends attack each other and Tristan would be avenged.

Then he remembered the letter how could that be linked to Tea she didn't love Tristan he now had a problem and now he had to figure out how to link her to the letter which would mean more dates. That might not be so bad if he could get laid by her and make her look desperate and a whore. Tea was a victim he never saw coming but he was glad she walked into his plan because she was his way out.

Please R&R
