I worked really really REALLY hard on this chapter.
I'd like to thanks Shezka Foxe for the review. If it wasn't for Shezka Foxe I probably wouldn't have spent as much time on this chapter as I did. So thank you so much!

Enjoy! ^.^

Chapter Two

"You no good for nothing shit!" The drunken man yelled, throwing a beer bottle at me. The glass bottle collided with my head, crashing into a million speckles. I could feel the blood oozing from my forehead. Just let it bleed…let it bleed for all I care… While I was thinking this, I didn't hear my father rushing toward me, and before I knew it, my back was against the cold white wall.

Smack! My cheek was stinging with pain and no doubt there was a red mark forming already.

"You're worthless and you do not deserve anything! Your mother left because of you! Everyone hates you!" I shut my eyes. Think of him…think of him… I kept chanting to myself. An image of a beautiful tall, slender, brunette teen with gorgeous blue eyes formed in my head with that oh so sexy smirk.

Bam! A blow to the same cheek took me out of my thoughts and the image disappeared as I fell to the wooden floor. "You fucking shit, listen to me when I'm talking to you!" Just then, my eyes shot over to a broom on the floor. If I could just reach it… I stretched my arm out as far as I could make it. GOT IT! I shot up onto my feet and slammed the broom against my father's head. I don't know why I did this. Maybe I thought I'd knock him out. Ha, yeah right. I guess I really am a stupid worthless idiot.

"You no good for nothing bitch!" The menacing words were slurred and I could barely understand them.

My eyes widened as the drunken beast grabbed my neck. I could feel my eyes rolling into the back of my head as my lungs started to burn. I couldn't breathe and I didn't care. Then why was I fighting those cold pale hands like my worthless life depended on it?

"Get the fuck out of my house!" With his hands still choking me, he threw me against the door that would lead me to escape. "Get out of here!" He yelled again when I didn't move. Oh how bad I wanted to run away and never come back, but where would I go? I couldn't let any of my friends know about my brutal father.

"GET OUT!" The monster roared. I ran out of there, not looking back. Why the neighbors never called the police and never came to see what was wrong, was beyond me.

I've been running for quite a while and I had no idea where I was going. I loved the stinging of the cold on my face like needles pricking me, and the burning my legs felt as I ran. As I looked around, I saw large buildings, this whole place looked fancy. Just then my eyes landed upon the Kaiba Corp. I stopped cold. I only had to run a little more to make my way inside. Maybe I should see if Kaiba's there…maybe he would… No! No, he wouldn't take you home! He hates you, Jou!

Then why did he look concerned in the bathroom? My heart fluttered as I remember that concerned look on Kaiba's face, and without another thought I ran to the building.

After reaching said building and running up to the sliding doors, I bumped into something warm and hard. As I stumbled back, I saw him.

"Mutt?" My eyes shot up to the CEO. Again, he wore that concerned look.

I smiled. "Kai-ba…" Was all I could get out as I fainted, falling into the CEO's warm strong arms.

I woke up in a dark room that was lit with several candles. Rosy colored satin sheets caressed my naked body. Wait…naked?

"Shit!" I could see the bruises on my torso, legs, and arms, but my cut marks were patched up. I lifted my hand to touch my forehead where the beer bottle collided, and wasn't surprised to feel that patched up as well. I wonder what my cheek looks like… I guess I screamed louder than I thought because the door flew opened, causing me to jump up in the soft bed a little.

"What are you screaming about mutt?" The blue eyed teen looked tired and stressed.

"You fuckin' undressed me you bastard! That's what I'm screaming about!" Kaiba came closer to me. "You invaded my privacy and you probably molested me in my sleep!" By now Kaiba was sitting on the edge of the bed and oh Ra did he glare at me; fiercer than I've ever seen him glare before.

"Okay mutt!" He snapped. "I undressed you because I didn't want you dirtying my bed, which you probably already have infested with flees. Also, those cuts couldn't go un-cleaned; they would probably have gotten infected, and how you slept through all of it, I just don't know! But don't you go and be ungrateful for my generosity."

Oh…I feel like a totally dick head now. Kaiba and I are totally enemies…he didn't have to do any of this. "I-I'm sorry, Kaiba. You're right, I shouldn't ha-"

"What did you say?" I looked up to find a surprised Kaiba. Damn the teen really did have emotions. I guess he really isn't a heartless robot after all.

"I said I was-"

"I know what you said." He cut me off again.

What the fuck?! "Then why did you just fuckin' ask me, 'what did you say'?" I used a horrible Seto Kaiba impression during the last four words.

Kaiba just glared at me for a moment which was making me feel highly uncomfortable. When I couldn't take looking at him anymore, I glanced around the room. The light of the candles jumped off the dark blue walls. They were totally bear; not one item hanging on them.

"What the-?!" Kaiba leapt onto me, causing me to snap my eyes up at him. He held my hands above my head. We just stared into each other's eyes. I could feel my breath growing heavier as the minutes passed by. Why was he looking into my eyes like he was trying to find something that he lost? He kept hold of my eyes with his. And just like that, he hopped off of me and gracefully walked toward the huge white door.

"What was that for?" I called after him. He just turned around to look at me. The light danced off of his figure and he looked just like an angel with that smirk plastered to his face.

"Just…trying to figure things out." And with that said he left the room.

What did he mean 'Just…trying to figure things out'? He can't figure anything out by just looking into my eyes. Can he?

*----*

"Wake up mutt!" I rolled onto the other side of my body to face…Kaiba…with no shirt! My eyes then snapped opened and I swear I was probably drooling at the sight. His skin was flawless and his muscles were just screaming out to me, but he looked…a little skinny. Okay, maybe really skinny. Then I averted my eyes to the alarm clock sitting on the bureau next to the bed.

"5:00?! What are you doing waking me up at 5 in the morning?!" As much as my throat hurt from screaming, I didn't care. I was furious with being woken up so early in the morning.

"One, because you need to get ready for school, two, you're going to need time to eat, and three, you need to answer some questions." The beautiful man now sat on the bed next to me. I sat up with the rosy red satin covering me, and glared at him. I should have known that I wouldn't get off easy; of course I was going to have to answer questions.

"What kind of questions?" I growled glaring at him now; already knowing what questions he was going to ask.

"What's with all the bruises and the cut marks?" He just came straight out and asked. "And why were you out so late at night?"

"Why were you?!" I snapped at him. I already knew the answer to that. Just one word, 'workaholic.'

"I'm the one asking questions, mutt. Now answer."

Well…looks like I'm defeated. I had to make up a lie. Think Jou, think! "I was out because I felt like taking a run." I spoke like it was the most obvious thing.

The look he gave me was quite obvious that he didn't believe that answer. But he didn't push the question any further. At lest…not that question. "And where did all of these come from?" He lightly brushed the back of his fingers against my abused torso while looking straight into my eyes.

I wanted to lean into that light touch but he probably wouldn't like it and throw me out of the house. "I got into a fight…" I mumbled, looking away from those intense pools of blue. I shot my eyes back to the CEO when he tackled me onto the bed like he did last night.

"I'm not stupid mutt," he held my eyes, giving me a fierce glare that I couldn't turn away from. "You wear that stupid long sleeved jacket everyday not matter how hot it is, and you look away as if I can read your eyes when you're lying. So now you listen to me; you're not going back to your house, you're staying here. You will obey my rules; you won't give me a hard time about anything. Obey your master like a good dog." He got off of me now, "And take a shower you stink…filthy mutt…there's an extra school uniform in the bottom drawer." He pointed at his dresser before sitting up and heading to the door. "I'll come get you for breakfast in a half hour, so hurry up." And with that said, he left.

"Kaiba…" Tears threatened to fall but I held them in. I don't know if I was happy because he was giving me a roof to live under, food to eat, or because somehow he knew about my abusive father. Maybe getting a shower would help me clear my head. I ran over to the wooden dresser, took out the school uniform, and went to get a shower.

*----*

I looked in the steamy mirror after changing into Kaiba's uniform. For some reason it had a lavender scent to it. And it was just a little big for me in height. I don't know what I'm going to do about clothes though. There's no way I'm going back to that house, and there's no way I can live with Kaiba; as much as I want to live with that self centered jerk muffin, and I just couldn't live with Yugi or any of my other friends; they would ask too many questions that I just couldn't…well…didn't want to answer.

As I decided to wait for Kaiba to come and get me, I thought it would be nice to make the bed. After all, I did sleep in it and Kaiba was nice enough to even bring me here.

After a few minutes at admiring my handy work, Kaiba came through the doors.

"Mutt it's time-" The CEO walked over to me and looked at the bed. "You made the bed." It was more a statement then a question.

"Hai. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Kaiba." I felt like being a smart ass for some reason. It seemed liked getting away from my father, getting a good night's sleep, and getting that hot steamy shower was did me good.

Just then I felt warm lips brush against my check for a few seconds. I shot my head up at Kaiba.

"What was that for?!" My eyes went wide as I saw that all too familiar smirk. I was surprised that such a thing would happen; even though it was just one little kiss on the cheek! I liked it though! I couldn't find my courage to actually kiss him back though.

"Because I felt like it." Of course the bastard grows cold again. "Come on, breakfast is waiting and I don't want my food getting cold."

"Right." I smiled. I couldn't help myself. Just that one little kiss made my day.

Thank you, Kaiba. I smiled up at him while we walked to the dining room.

"Will you stop smiling at me?!" He growled and turned the corner to the dinning room.

I sighed, that smile still plastered to my face. I wanted to cry in joy. Even though he was still acting like his regular cold self, I didn't care, because he actually kissed me.

And that Seto Kaiba, is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Well…there's chapter two. I didn't know how to end it, and I've been thinking of another ending for hours and nothing came to me! So I just left it at that.
Things may seem good now…but who knows what's gonna happen in the next chapter mwahahaha! Lol don't ask. Also, if anyone has a good name for this story, don't hesitate to tell me.

I'm out of ideas right now, so I don't know when I'm getting the next chapter up.

Review and please tell me what you think and if I should keep going on not.
