Chapter 5

It had been a week since Jonas had taken over Joey's mind and slept with Seth and nothing was the same. In the Manor Joey had been very withdrawn and quite. Seto had become very edgy watching Joey to see if he was himself or if Jonas had taken over again. Mokuba felt the tension in the house but didn't say anything expect to Yugi and he only saw him when he snuck away to see him since Seto had told Yami not to talk to him of Joey.

Tension was not just in the Manor but through out the group. Marik and Bakura had learnt what happen with Seth and Jonas and they were up in arms with Seth for having slept with Jonas when he knew that Jonas was only a spirit in Joey's body. Their lights felt that Seth did make a bad decision but that he was overcome with love for Jonas and wanted to be with him. This caused a blow up and Malik and Ryou had moved back into the Ishtar house. Marik and Bakura lived in Ryou father's house.

At the game shop Yugi and Yami were also at odds because Yugi was pissed at Seth when he found out what he did with Jonas with Joey's body. Yami understood why Yugi was so upset but he also understood the love his cousin had for Jonas. Yami was more upset at what Jonas did by coming over and seducing Seth into bed then he was at Seth for having slept with Jonas. Yugi that Seto didn't want Yami talking to Joey of to Seto himself so Yugi stayed away from the Manor but he did get updates on Joey from Mokuba when they met at the library every Friday night and he didn't tell Yami were he was going and blocked him out of his mind and this was also causing tension between Yugi and Yami.

As the tension between the group was growing Ishizu and Shadi knew that they were close to finding away to separate Jonas from Joey's mind but in doing so his spirit would be sent to the afterlife where it was meant to go when he first died and Ishizu knew that would kill Seth if he found out this information. Shadi had pointed out that if Seth didn't tamper with fate then this problem would not be happening and the sooner it was cleared up the sooner everyone could get on with their lives.

Back in the Manor Joey was in his and Seto room listening to music while Seto was in his study still working. Joey knew that Seto would be in the study for awhile. Mokuba had gone out to meet with his friends from school. Joey was tired but he was afraid to fall asleep because he didn't know if he would be himself when he woke up. He wanted to call Yugi and see if he wanted to hang out but every time he called the game shop Yugi was out or could not talk at the moment. Joey knew Yugi was avoiding him but he didn't know why. He thought that Yugi might be mad at Seto for yelling at Yami and that is why Yugi was not talking to him. Joey decided not to dwell on that for thought for the time being and he closed his eyes.

It was about ten minutes later and his eyes opened and he got out of bed and got dressed. He peeked around the bedroom door and saw that no one was around, and then he started to head downstairs.

(You can not do this again Jonas, please just think about me for once)

[No, I need to see Seth and make sure that he is alright. I have allowed you to have your body for a week. All I ask is for one night to see my love and if you can not give me that then I'll have to lock you away again and this time I might not let you out)

(Jonas, this is my body. I have a say with what you do to it now please go back upstairs)

[NO!)

With that Joey found himself back in the dark closed off room and he cried and screamed but Jonas just ignored him and Joey finally cried himself to sleep. Jonas got to the door when Mokuba walked in with Yugi with him. They stared at Joey and knew something was wrong with him.

"Joey where were you going at this time of night?" Mokuba asked.

"I was coming to find you Mokuba, you are past your curfew and you know who Kaiba gets when you are late. Now you need to get upstairs now before you get in any more trouble." Jonas said trying to act like Joey.

"Joey are you and Seto fighting again. You never call him Kaiba unless you two had a fight?" Mokuba questioned. He knew that Joey and Seto were having trouble with the whole Jonas deal.

"Mokuba just go upstairs. I'll walk back to the game shop with Yugi." Jonas said.

"Joey you don't have to do that I know that you are still shaken up with what Seth and Jonas did to you. I am still mad at Seth for hurting you I didn't know he would be that selfish." Yugi told him.

Jonas saw red when he heard this. He picked Yugi up by his collar. "Seth is not selfish at all. Do you understand that? Seth is a gentle soul and he try to save me unlike the Pharaoh. But if it was you that died in the past he would do whatever it took to bring you back to life. I had to spend eternity in darkness. I had to fight to survive. Now let's see if you can life in the darkness." Jonas then started to strangle Yugi.

Mokuba ran upstairs to find Seto to tell him that Jonas was back and was crazy as ever. Yugi tried to talk but he could barely breathe. Jonas just smiled as Yugi started to lose conscious. At that moment Joey found the strength to lock Jonas up for the time being. He lower Yugi to the ground and he crawled away from his friend and watched as Yugi started to cough and catch his breath.

Seto and Mokuba came running downstairs and saw Yugi on the ground and Joey in the corner crying. Seto bend down to see how bad Yugi was. He saw that bruised started to form around his throat. Yugi looked up and saw Seto and then looked around and saw his friend silently crying in the corner.

"Go tend to Joey, I'm okay." Yugi said and he set up and with Mokuba's help he sat on the couch. Mokuba left to get Yugi so cold water to drink.

Seto went over to were Joey was. "Go away Seto, I don't want to hurt you too." Joey said in a hushed voice.

"You won't Joey, and you didn't hurt Yugi either it was Jonas. You did not hurt him you are incapable of hurting the ones you love." Seto said as he sat next to Joey. Joey crawled into Seto's lap and buried his face into Seto's chest.

"I did before. In Battle City I tried to kill Yugi remember and that was because I was possessed by the Rod, but still I tried to hurt Yugi. Today might not have been me that tried to kill Yugi but it was my hands that were around his neck."

Yugi watched as his best friend fell apart. Yugi opened his link and called to Yami.

/Yami I need you to come the Seto's Manor there been incident/

//Yugi what do you mean and why are you in pain?//

/Just come over here now. I'll explain when you get here and don't bring Seth along and also go get Bakura and Marik. They are both staying at Ryou father's house./

//Why are they both there? Where is Ryou?//

/Just go get them and get here as soon as possible!/

Then Yugi ended their mind link. Mokuba handed him another glass of water and Yugi thanked him for the glass. They both watched as Seto carried Joey's sleeping body upstairs.

"Do you think Joey will be okay?" Mokuba asked.

"I hope so Mokuba. I believe that the only way to help Joey now is to do away with Jonas one and for all." Yugi said. There was a hint of hatred towards Jonas in his voice and Mokuba didn't balme his friend one bit for feeling that was towards Joinas.

Yami knocked on the door and Ryou opened the door. "Yami what are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

"I don't know, Yugi wants me to go to Seto's Manor and wants me to bring Bakura and Marik as well. Are they here?" He said.

"Yes. Come in while I go get them." Ryou motioned for Yami to come in. Malik was on the couch watching TV and didn't hear Yami knocking or even Ryou talking to Yami. He was so in grossed with what was on TV. Yami sat next to the young light while Ryou went upstairs to get Bakura and Marik.

He knocked on the door and Bakura opened it. When he did he saw his light's face and knew something was wrong. "Ryou what is wrong?" He asked.

"Yami is down stairs and before you and Marik begin yelling and screaming he is only here because Yugi asked he him to come here. Yugi is at Seto's Manor and wants Yami there and both of you as well. That is all I know." Ryou said in one breath.

"Okay Marik and I will be right down. You need to unglue Malik from the TV because both of you are coming with us. We have spent too much time apart." Ryou blushed and headed back down stairs.

When Bakura and Marik came down stairs Ryou was running from Malik because he wanted the TV remote back. Yami watched and smiled because it reminded him of the times he chased Yugi around. That was before their relationship became stressed after the whole Seth and Jonas incident.

"Malik we have to go now please stop chasing me." Ryou said laughing.

"No, I want to see if Cookie Monster will eat the cookie he was holding." Malik said.

"Both of you stop, Yugi needs our help and you are coming with us and Malik Cookie Monster always eats the cookie he is holding that is why he is Cookie Monster. There the mystery was solve now move your butts before I decide to make you both go to Tea's birthday party." Bakura said with a smile.

Both Ryou and Malik stop dead in their tracts and shiver with the thought of going to one of Tea's parties. They all left the house and got Into Yami's car and he drove them to Seto's Manor.

Seto was watching Joey sleep when the door bell rang. He went down stairs and saw that both Yugi and Mokuba were a sleep on the couch. The door bell rang again. Seto let out a small growl who the hell would be ringing his bell at one in the morning. Who ever it was either very stupid of had nerves of steel. He opened the door and saw the three Yamis and Ryou and Malik there.

"What are all of you doing here?" Seto asked. He was tired and grumpy.

"Yugi linked with me and wanted me and the Yamis to come here. They brought their lights with them. So where is Yugi?" Yami asked.

"He's asleep right now, but come in. Yugi is on the couch sleeping with Mokuba, and no they are not together so don't start yelling at him he had a stressful day."

Yami was startled, why was Seto so protective of his light? Did something happen to Yugi while he was here?

Yugi woke up when he heard Yami's voice. He moved Mokuba off of his shoulder with out waking the boy. Once off the couch he ran into Yami's arms. Yami hugged him back. When the hug ended Yami looked down at Yugi and saw the awful bruises that were around Yugi's neck. So did everyone else.

"Yugi, what happened? Who did this to you?"

"I did a voice said coming from the stairs. Well not me but Jonas did I was able to lock him away from now but he is getting stronger. I am sorry Yugi for hurting you I never wanted to hurt you again and now I did." Joey said his voice trembling.

Yugi left the protected arms of his Dark and went over to his friend. He hugged Joey. "I know Joey and I don't blame you. I know you want to take the blame but we know who is to blame Jonas. He took over your mind, tried to sneak out again, pretended to be you, and got mad when I bad mouthed Seth. He is the only one to blame not you."

Joey looked down at his friend and smiled. "I know Yuge, but still it was my hands that put those bruises on you. I promised myself I would never hurt someone I loved like I was hurt and now you have bruises on your neck that my hands put there. I know that it wasn't be that hurt you it will take me sometime to process this just like me waking up next to Seth. All I know is that I am hardly me anymore because Jonas is taking more of me every day. I am afraid that one day I'll just drift away and he'll be here permanently."

"Joey, that won't happen I promise it. I am going over to the museum right now and I will talk to my sister and see if she and Shadi have found a way to help you." Malik said.

"No, you and Ryou stay here with Yugi and help Joey feel better. Bakura and I will go. Yami go talk with Seth and Tell he what happen and that if we have to sent Jonas back into the afterlife we will." Marik said.

"He wasn't in the afterlife, I don't he was. When he was choking me he said that he was in darkness and had to fight to survive. I think that he was in the Shadow Realm." Yugi said.

The Yamis looked at each other. "Yami get Seth and meet us at the museum if Yugi is right then there is more going on then what we see." Bakura said. "Seto if Joey starts to act funny at all knock him out and bring him the museum until then just wait until we call you."

After that the Yamis were gone. They went to where they needed to go and left the others with more questions then answers. Joey was now terrified of the spirit the dwelled in him, he also feared for those around him and he hoped that soon this nightmare would be over.

Next Chapter: More of Jonas's past is revealed, he grows in power and the solution to separate him and Joey might be harmful for Joey.
