Kaiba knelt down besides Joey, who had rolled onto his side clutching his thigh. Fuck it hurts. The brunet tore the bottom of his coat off, before pushing away the bloodied hands and tightly pulling the makeshift bandage around the younger's leg. Kaiba pulled Joey's head so that their eyes met. Tears circled the blond's eyes and his lip was split from where he had bitten it. This wasn't a good day. He looked around. He didn't even know where the fuck they were anymore. There was nothing to resemble a landscape, with the exception of a random tree. He looked into the distance where he could vaguely make out the city, and the next city in the other direction.

Someone was seriously going to pay for this. Slowly, he helped Joey to his feet, clutching his waist. Joey cringed, gasping at the pain. Already he was weak from the lack of drugs, and the recent absence of blood wasn't a great help. He gripped the brunet's strong shoulders as if his life depended on it. His mind felt fuzzy and he began to feel faint. He staggered forward a few steps, trying his best to ignore the pain. The shooting pain in his legs made him feel instantly sick, and he screamed before falling to the floor.

'Fuck!' Kaiba shouted lunging to catch him.

'Kaiba…' Joey groaned his head lolling back. He opened his eyes enough to catch the brunet's glare. 'Next time…' he coughed, 'we take the damned Porsche.' Kaiba pulled the brown eyes boy back to an unstable stance.

'You know, Joey, if you didn't get in the way of that bullet, we could be half way back to town.' He frowned, his eyes glinting somewhat playful. Joey groaned, trying his best to muster a smile. 'Joey, I know it's a pain in the ass, and it's a fucking long way, but there is nothing we can do out here. We have to get back to Domino. I'm sorry, it's gonna hurt like fuck but you'll have to deal with it.' Joey growled.

'That's as nice as your gonna get ain't it?'

'Yup. I'm pissed off, and I just tore my coat for you. Feel lucky.'

'Me and the bullet feel incredibly lucky.' He gasped again. Each step was agonising. 'You know, you could just phone another car?'

'What and get dropped off in Sweden? Like hell.'

'I've never been to Sweden…'

'I'm not phoning, mutt. End of.' Joey clutched Kaiba tighter as his leg began to feel cold. 'I must admit though, you're holding up well.' Joey sniggered,

'Yeah well, it's not exactly the first time I've been injured. Is it?'

'Gangs?'

'Hell…yes. How much longer? This damned town is in the middle of nowhere, why did this never dawn on me?'

'Have you ever left town?'

'I went to the neighbouring one but it seemed closer then.'

'Most things do in a car. Or at least when you walk at a normal pace.'

'Quit your bitching, Kaiba. I'm doing my best.' Kaiba rolled his eyes, it was true. The blond was doing well, he had to admit it. He let is hand squeeze the boy lightly, showing that he was proud. Not that he'd let him know, mind you. It took over 2 hours from them to finally reach the city, and much to his dislike, Seto knew that Joey needed his leg fixing before they could do anymore. It just wouldn't be fair to make him carry on, not with a bloody piece of cloth around his thigh.

They entered the building for the second time that day. The smell was hateful. It was overly clean and it pissed Kaiba off to the core. He walked the blond to A&E. they sat for an annoying 10 minuets with snotty kids and screaming mothers. They watched 5 head patients go in before Joey.

'You know, Wheeler, if I give you a concussion, we can go in now.'

'Geez, how thoughtful. I fucking headache to go with my blood loss. You really are too kind.' Kaiba grunted. He was only trying to help, and it was a damned good idea!

15 minuets passed and the nurse finally called Joey in. She took one look at the wound before frowning and calling in backup.

Kaiba watched as they cut off his jeans and pulled out the bullet.

'You're lucky it's shallow or you'd need an operation.' The woman shook her head.

'Yeah, I feel lucky.'

'Will you be reporting this?' Joey opened his mouth to be cut off be Seto,

'We already have.' The nurse nodded as she finished stitching up the blond's thigh.

'You don't need to stay, but keep rubbing this ointment on. Should it get infected, come back straight away.' She handed Joey some crutches, 'You'll need these for a few days, but otherwise you're fine. Mild trauma, that's all.' The boys thanked her before leaving.

'Hey, we can go in the Porsche!' Joey smiled, watching the brunet's face light up. Thank god something was going right…

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Hewo my lovlies!

So today I type from the TV?

Why ever is that AnnieBear? I hear you ask. It's because my LCD cable on the pc is broke so I need to hook it up so I can see. It's not nice. And it's £200 to fix…so alas…I need a new one. Which makes me sad, as I love my lappytop. It's like a piece of me.

I'm also conflicting with myself tonight but my friend has told me to swallow my pride and email someone. Damn it's so hard! It's physically hard to apologize. I'm not great at it either. Oh well. Least I get to be up early for work! HA! You should all email me and make me smiley cos I wanna cry right now. I intended to write some lock stock and barrel, but I don't think I can. I feel that bad! Well, I'm now nervous. So here goes. Wish me luck.

Also, anyone got msn? I'm that lonely. My friends are on when I'm working so I feel so alone at night. I'm sad aren't I?

Anyway,

Much love and kisses

AB
