D.S.: Well here's chapter two! I can't believe so many people actually like it. It makes me so happy that so many of you do. I'm in Drama right now. So I decided I'd start writing this cause two of our group members are gone and one of them has our script. We're doing puppets. :D. Alright so here is chapter two. I'm also really sorry for putting this up so late.

Whoever said life was Fair?

Chapter Two

"Kaiba! Where's Joey? Why are you just standing there? What happened? I swear to god if you broke his heart-" A white haired brit started, looking like he was ready to kill someone. Yuugi was about to join his white-haired friend before he noticed that the brunette turned around and there were tears running down his face.

"Kaiba?" Yuugi asked timidly. He approached the brunette and got a better look at him. It looked like he was going through some inner turmoil or something because his face just spelled out sadness and anger and confusion. So many expressions that were new to the CEO's face.

"He ran away," Kaiba whispered, still looking shocked. The hall resounded with loud what's and then the entire group had circled the saddened teen. "I told him how I felt and he ran away, but he still-" His words were choked off and his brain realized something.

"Kaiba? What happened?" Yami asked, now curious for his friend's (Joey not Kaiba) predicament. Kaiba was silent for a minute, before a cold look gleamed in his eyes once again and his face twisted in anger.

"Something's wrong. You stupid, puppy? Why the hell would you run away after saying that you love me back?" Kaiba was once again locked in deep thought. "Yes," He said after a moment. "Something is most definitely wrong," He turned to the teens that had surrounded him. "Puppy has run somewhere. Spread out, find out where. Yuugi and Yami are coming with me because you without a doubt know where he lives. Everyone else search where he could be," And with that said, the tall brunette turned around again and ran to his limo, which had been waiting for some time now since school had ended. Everyone spread out, and Yami and Yuugi were right behind Kaiba.

~**~

Joey was running, he didn't know where, but he knew he was running. 'Dammit why does he have to tell me when it's too fucking late? Why? WHY?'Tears were sliding down the blonde's cheeks, and for a moment he felt like he was going to just drop down and die. Then he was on the cold, muddy cement. He didn't even notice it was still raining. For what felt like forever he just lied there in a puddle of mud and cried, not caring about the people who looked at him as they passed him on the street. He also didn't notice a stinging pain in his angle.

Then he felt someone picking him up and whispering soft words of comforting into his ears as he was carried and put into a car. 'Great. Just great. I'm being kidnapped. Well, whatever. My life's over anyway.' And with that he let himself be held by an unknown source. His eyes had slid closed when he was still laying the mud and he didn't feel like he had enough energy to open them anyway.

"Shh. It's okay puppy. Whatever's wrong will be fixed and it'll all be over soon," The pet name made Joey's brain freak out, but then he decided it was just a mind trick and that is when sweet darkness slipped through him and he was being embraced by sweet sleep.

~**~

"Ngh," A groan escaped his lips when the blonde awoke. His head was pounding and he felt like he was going to throw up. 'Why the hell do I feel so bad?' As soon as the question went through his mind so did the answer. All of them. "Shit!" He had rolled out of the bed and onto his floor. After taking a quick look around the room he noticed that it wasn't his, and it was a dark blue mixed with lighter silvery blue. Then he freaked out. And that is when he realized that when the mysterious kidnapper from the night before called him by his nickname that that was actually his rival, and his crush, Seto Kaiba. Not only that, but the room he was in was covered in Blue Eyes White Dragon related items. The click was almost actually able to be heard as Joey's brain processed what the hell was going on. 'I'm in Seto's room? Shit? I'm in Seto's room! I'm in his house! I need to find a way out and fast! … How did I even get here?' Then he decided it didn't matter, and what did matter were the foot steps that were leading up the stairs at this very moment that he could actually hear, which meant whoever the steps belonged to were running.

Quickly thinking Joey dashed to the window, not really caring that once he got the huge thing opened that he'd have to jump down how ever many stories he were up. The window slid up surprising easily, and then he had a foot on the window ledge, ready to jump when two strong arms slipped around his waist and himself being pulled back and landing on something with a loud thump. The blonde started struggling.

~**~

We were all a floor below the room that I had put Joey in. Stupid puppy. So when I say we, I mean myself, my little brother Mokuba, Yami, Yuugi, Tristan, Duke, Bakura, Ryou, Malik, and Marik all in one place. God I'm surprised it hasn't been burned down yet. So, when we all heard a loud thump from my bedroom (which I had put Joey in) we were all up and running up the stairs. But, Bakura, Yami, and Marik some how managed to get tangled in each other and their hikari's had to stay to get them out the their three-person-pretzel which left me with my little brother Mokuba.

We ran up the stairs at a super speed that I didn't even know I possessed and I threw open the door as soon as I could. What I saw nearly made my heart break, my eyes bulge out of my skull from shock, and my brain explode from furry. He was trying to run away! He's three stories high! So with my super speed I was once again at his side and pulling him back.

"You're three stories high!" I shouted my previous thought, pissed and shocked as hell. "What ARE you thinking?" More words came from my mouth as I pulled the struggling blonde from the window and dragged him to the bed. I sat down, pulling my puppy in between my legs, his back to my chest; on the soft slightly messed up covers of my huge ass bed.

"Let me go!" He was still struggling. I gritted out a no and then a grunt of pain as he smacked me hard on the face.

"Puppy, stop struggling. You. Are. Safe." I told him, but you know, I don't think it was very warm or soft like I wish it could be. I've never really had to be warm and soft with someone else other than my little brother, so… this is a new experience for me.

It was even more so of an experience when my puppy turned around in my lap and started bawling into my chest. Well… oh shit. What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

~**~

I didn't care how hard I was crying, I just really needed the release. I needed to let go of all the stress, fear, sadness, frustration, and anger before it killed me from the inside – out.

I felt Seto's warm arms wrap around in me a slightly awkward hug, and it only made me cry harder. I know what you're probably thinking, something along the lines of "Jeeze, this guy is a fucking pussy! Crying, and on his crush, for his crush just adds to the pussy-ness!" Well, it's true. But you know… Real men fucking cry, got it?

"Shhhh. Joey, please tell me what's wrong," He said my real name. No insults or nothing? God, he must be a good actor. I could feel myself open my mouth, but only a sound that crossed between a hic-up and a sob came from my throat, and this made me close my mouth. His embrace tightened a little, and I could literally feel him seething. Why was he so mad? Was it because I was being un-cooperative?

"S-sorry," I managed, before another sob/hiccup interrupted my speech. One of his hands was rubbing circles into my back as the other moved up and massaged my scalp. It felt really relaxing.

"There's nothing to be sorry for. Just relax, and breathe. I really want to know what's wrong, Joey," God, I loved the way my name rolled off his tongue. After a few (hundred) deep breathes, I managed to shake my head. "What?" He asked, confused by my meaning.

"No-nothing's wrong," I managed, this time no sob/hiccup interrupted me. Good, that means I'd stop crying soon… hopefully.

"Bull shit. Tell me what's made you start to cry, Joey. Please. I want to be able to help," I could hear the anger in his voice. Was this really Seto? I didn't think so. So I kept up my struggling and before I knew it was pinned to the soft bed that I had earlier vacated. I became suddenly aware of how much I was crying. That really surprised me. I was also aware that even thought I desperately wanted to get away from my crush, I was also clinging onto him like a life-line. My brain was in all sorts of trouble and I swear I think it was just gonna blow up like an over fried chicken.

"I-" A loud sob interrupted me, but I swallowed thickly and tried again anyway. "I can-can't tell. I'll ge-get-" That's where I was permanently broken off from, the bawling just became thatmuch worse because thinking about what would happen if I let someone else know about what was happening by the end of the week, well, I just couldn't.

"What will you get? In trouble? Hurt? Abused? Married off to my worse fucking rival on this face of the planet?" I swear to Ra my heart just stopped right then and there, along with everything else. My crying stopped, the tears paused in their flow, and my breathing certainly stopped. Shit. Was the only, single thought that ran through my head. Then our eyes met, and his dusky blue eyes were both boiling with anger and sorrow. For a few minutes, it stayed that way, and I was unable to talk for the duration of that time before my mind rebooted.

"H-how di-did you know?" I cursed the stuttering, because now he was going to fucking pity me, and that wasn't something I needed right now.

"Really? Keep your friends close, keep you enemies closer. I keep tabs on him, and have updates on every little detail that goes on during his life and when this came up, I nearly killed one of my scouts. I just couldn't find out why. Why? Please tell me why this is happening, puppy, please," I could still hear pity on the edge of his voice, and it made me look away from his eyes. I shook my head while trying to calm myself. Of course Seto would know. Of course.

"I," Another thick swallow. "My – dad… owes him money. And to settle his debt… he sold me off for marriage to him. I…" Did I really need to say it? Didn't he know that I didn't have a choice. He probably knew everything else that had gone on in my life now. He really did pity me.

He didn't love me.
