Chapter 3'I have to go find him' thought Jou, putting himself together. The tears had long since stopped flowing and a determined face marred him. His head hurt like someone was using a jackhammer on it, so without being able to think things clearly, but already knowing that he just has to get to Seto to at least be able to make it up to him, Jou made his way out of the Game Shop. He decided that it would be better to give Seto some time to cool done before confronting him again. That is if he could make it to his apartment before spewing his food all over his own shoes.
He just had to make it back to his place. Maybe shower to get rid of the alcohol smell and definitely need to brush his teeth.
'Last thing I want if me and Kaiba get back together is him smelling Otogi on me and thinking about him while spending time with me,' he thought, continuing to stumble through the sidewalk 'I should hurry.'
He really didn't need the cops to see him like this. 'May as well take the alley short cut' he reasoned to himself as he turned the corner into a damp and musty alley way. He'd usually use this path when he would leave Yugi's house later than he planned and would have to get home soon.
As he continued on his path through the trash filled cans a sudden wave of dizziness plagued him. He leaned against the damp and slimy wall. His forehead against the walls' cool surface allowed his head to clear away the dizziness.
He really needed to get home now and at least take some Tylenol. His stomach was churning and felt like bile was coming up his throat, but he choked it back down, gasping for breath afterwards. He was half way through the silent, eerie alley, but once he turned another corner he began to hear voices.
There were shouts and the sound of metal clinking. Without even thinking of a strategy or about what exactly was going on Jou dashed into the danger ahead. Once he got closer he was able to tell that there was a man getting mugged by five other burly men.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Jou shouted, effectively stunning all the men and allowing the victim to escape with only a bleeding lip and a few bruises.
Jou was sure that he could take on at least three of them, but they had weapons and he was still a bit tipsy and dizzy from the punch.
"Well, well. Lookie what we found boys. A pretty little blonde…" said the front man, obviously the leader, in a taunting voice. The other gang members sniggered at their boss' antics.
Of course these guys were going to attack Jou though. Not only did he let their prey escape, but he looked good enough to eat.
"Hey boss, can I get a turn on that beauty," said the lanky guy to the left, licking his lips in what he assumed was seduction.
Jou nearly lost his lunch…again, at what that man was thinking.
Him? Beautiful?
'Seto sure didn't think so. He called me a flea bitten mutt… back like when we used to hate each other…' thought Jou sadly. His mind quickly shut off that train of thought as the men slowly approached him. He involuntarily took a step back, which caused the gang to snigger again.
They obviously thought that he was a total pushover despite his toned and lithe body.
"Hizaki, go and grab him, you too Kai" said their leader.
"Yes sir" they chorused in a mocking, respectful tone.
Jou was trying to clear his head. Although he had a throbbing headache, his mind was clear. If they came at him in few numbers like now he knew he could stand a chance. As Hizaki and Kai approached, Jou pretended that he was frightened in place when in reality he was setting up his stance for when they made their way over to him.
The two thugs approached slowly, drinking in Jou's fear.
"Oh, come on blondie, you don't have to be so scared. We're just going to have a bit of fun" said Hizaki, coming up to Jou's right arm and squeezing it, yet before Kai was able to get a hold of Jou's other arm Jou had already swung his right arm around, dislodging it from Hizaki's grip and with a greater momentum with his left hand he punched Hizaki straight into his stomach and if he was lucky, caused a few broken ribs.
Hizaki, in shock at first, was still standing, eyes bulging in shock. Eventually though he doubled over in pain and fell to the asphalt, clutching his stomach in hopes of lessening the pain.
Jou could tell that the rest of the gang was possibly livid right now and that was proven with their angry growls and their meaty fists punching their other hand in a threatening manner.
Jou knew it would be futile to run, with his dizziness every now and then and a major stomach ache. Not to mention a bruise already forming from where that Hizaki-thug had grabbed him. But despite all that he opted to fight it out.
