Hannah: "Sorry it's been so long you guys. I am very thankful that you were so patient with me… Here is the next chapter of "To Taint the Innocent." Yes, Joey does start to seduce Kaiba and NO they do not have sex in this chapter. But don't worry… That will come… Also… I am pleased to say, that another chapter has been added to my other fanfic "Something Not So Predictable," for those of you who are fans of that story as well… Now, Bakura?"

Bakura: "…………"

Hannah: "Oh, right…" Rolls her eyes. "Bakura is not talking to me because he saw me talking with some RANDOM MALE REVIEWER… Jealous maniac…"

Bakura: "You were flirting with him…"

Hannah: "Oh yeah, because which type of toilet cleaner we use is SUCH a romantic conversation… Jerk-off."

Bakura: "Ass-wipe!"

Hannah: "Arse-hole!!!"

Bakura walks off muttering something about inappropriate cleaning solutions.

Hannah: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!"

Chapter Nine:

Joey walked inside of Kaiba mansion. Kaiba was sitting on the couch in the living room flipping through the channels on the TV. Joey causally walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Whatchya watchen?"

"News…"

Joey looked around nervously.

'I have never tried to seduce anyone in my entire life, well save for the 7th grade math teacher, but that was a dare. What do I do? Hmm… Maybe if I-'

Joey scooted closer to Kaiba. Kaiba turned to Joey and gave him a weird look before turning his eyes back to the TV. Joey casually scooted even closer and rested his elbow on the back of the couch next to Kaiba's shoulder. He wasn't sure what to do next, so he gave up and laid back on the couch. Joey just laid there looked at Kaiba.

'His hair looks so soft to touch. The color of chestnut. His cheeks are always so pale, yet, they hold a warm glow that makes me want to rub mine against his. Perfect, flawless, skin. Milky, white, flawless skin. I want to touch it. I want to touch all of it, all over and run my hands down that neck. I wonder if his skin is that perfect and pale all over his body. I wouldn't know, he wears that blasted trench coats all the time. He's always so modest and covered up. Gods! What it would feel like to have him on top of me! Sweet Jesus, I better stop thinking about this or Kaiba's going to notice the serious problem down below deck.'

But Joey just couldn't stop staring. When Kaiba finally did turn and look at Joey, he was surprised to say the least that the mutt was staring back at him.

'What is he looking at?'

His eyes seemed to be far away and dazed and glassy.

"I wonder what he's thinking about? He's cheeks are flushed and his eyes are glazed over. Wonder what girl he's thinking about? Poor mutt…'

Just then, Kaiba "accidently" looked down.

'Sweet Jesus! He's turned on! Oh my… Oh my… What am I going to do?'

'Your going to go and kiss him.'

"Your going to go and fuck the living daylights out of his sweet little ass!!!'

'Not you guys again! Leave me alone… I am going crazy, bloody fucking crazy!!!'

'No your not, don't be silly… Now tell him how you really feel.'

"Naw, just throw him down on the ground and-"

'SHUT UP!!!'

Kaiba just kept staring at the puppy-I mean to say, mutt's erection which was clearly showing.

'Stop it Kaiba… Stop it. You do not feel ANYTHING for that mutt… That sorry, hopeless, yet sometimes adorable mutt… GRAAAHHH!!!!'

Just then, Kaiba had had just about enough of this little game his mind was playing on him.

"Hey mutt… I'm going to go and work. If you're hungry then grab something out of the fridge. But don't eat it all!"

Joey just kept staring at him.

'What the hell is wrong with him… He's staring at me with his face flushed and totally turned on like he's… NO! I will not think like that! I refuse!!! Joey does not feel like that towards me! How could he! He hates me!'

'But do you hate him???'

'Yes!!! I mean no! I mean… shut up…'

Kaiba was sick of Joey looking at him and not responding. Everyone responded to him! Everyone answered him!

"Mutt!!! Mutt!!! MUTT!!!"

Still no answer…

Kaiba slapped him. THAT got his attention. Maybe a little too much. Joey fell backwards off the couch and curled up into a little ball.

"Please… I don't wanna… Please… I'm sorry… Don't…"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MUMMBLING ABOUT YOU STUPID DOG!"

"PLEASE!!! Don't hurt me… I'm sorry!"

Kaiba didn't know what to do. He wasn't going to hurt him. Who was Joey talking to? Where was the swing back that Joey usually gave him? What's happening to his Joey-pup?

Kaiba, totally confused, turned around and stormed upstairs into his office. Maybe some work would get his mind off the mutt's problems. I mean, they were his, Kaiba didn't have to worry about them!!! That's right! He didn't give a rats-ass about that stupid, know-it-all, adoring puppy. Kaiba just banged his head on the laptop.

Hannah: "There you all go! The next chapter. I'm sorry that it was messed up the first time I tried to upload it. But here it is and Bakura is STILL mad at me. I promise that the next chapter there will be some mushy-gushy-squishy stuff… You will see what happens to Joey while Kaiba is upstairs banging his head on his laptop repeatedly…"

Bakura: "Snore…"

Hannah: "Idiot…"

Bakura: "Snore! Mumble! Toilet cleaner… Snore!"

Hannah: "He's a retard but I love him!"
