Chapter Five

As Joey walked through the gates of the Manor he didn't know if this was a good idea coming here, but he also knew that they had to talk so he kept walking till he got to the front door. As he waited for someone to answer his knock he thought back to the letter that Seto sent to him and why would Seto want to talk to him now if he didn't want anyone to know that he was "gay." The door opened and there stood Roland and Joey said "I've come to talk to Seto" and then Roland said "please come this way" and he lead Joey to the den where Seto was waiting.

As the door opened and Joey walked in the room there sat Seto like some kind of statue and only when the door closed did he move and he walked over to where Joey was and he said "why the hell did you come back for, you should of stayed the hell away."

Joey stared at him and then his temper got the better of him and he said "what business of yours if I came home or not?" Then Seto walked over to the window and looked out and he turned around and said without thinking "who is the brat that was with you?"

That did it, Joey walked over to Seto and doubled up his fist and hit Seto right in the face and knocked him on his ass and as he stood over him Joey said "if you ever say that about my daughter again I won't stop with just popping you in you pretty face, I will tear you limb from limb is that understood?"

Joey started to leave when Seto said "please don't leave I'm sorry for what I just said."

Joey turned around and stood there looking at Seto as he got up off the floor and wiped the blood from the side of his mouth and then he said "you said your daughter, what's her name?"

Joey then said "that's none of your business and I'd advice you that this talk is just about us and not about my family so if you want to talk we'll talk but nothing about my personal life."

Seto sat back down and then he asked "why did you leave without telling me you were leaving?"

Joey stood there laughing and then he said "what? Are you for real? You sent me a letter telling me that you just wanted to be friends and then you get all bent out of shape because I leave Domino? I don't understand what this is all about, so if you want to talk then talk and tell me why you're so damn upset that I came home!"

Seto closed his eyes and he said "when I wrote that letter to you I was so confused as to who I really was and I was afraid that if anyone found out that I liked another guy that they'd be able to make a case against me and not only take my brother away from me but that Kaiba Corp would also suffer and I wasn't willing to take that chance, but after I talked to Roland and my Attorney about it they both told me that just because I thought that I was gay that it wouldn't make any difference at all if the Press got word of it and then I find out that you left and went to America and I just went into a depression and I thought that if I ever saw you again that I would make your life as terrible as mine was."

Joey laughed and then he said "you aren't the only one in this world that has had a shitty life and if I were you I'd grow up and stop acting like a spoiled little brat."

Then Joey opened the door and turned to Seto and he said "stay away from me and my family if you don't want that pretty face of yours messed up because if I ever see you near my father or daughter it will take more men then you have here to stop me from making your life a living hell!"

Then Joey walked out and shut the door and went over to the front door and walked out and went back to his father's home.

As he walked home Joey had to wipe the tears from his face because he knew that he was wrong when he treated Seto that way, but he couldn't let his daughter be hurt just because the great Seto Kaiba wasn't happy that he was back in Domino.

As he walked into his father's home he found them playing catch in the back yard and as he sat down on the ground to watch he wished that Michelle could be here to see their daughter having fun. Greg looked up and saw Joey and he said to Cassandra "your daddy is here."

Cassandra then said "look me daddy, me catch ball." Then his father tossed the ball to her and she caught it and then she started laughing was infectious and Joey and Greg started laughing too. Then Joey got up and went over and picked her up and said "why don't we go get a snack alright?" She giggled and went inside and as Greg and his son went into the house Joey said "it didn't go very well at Kaiba's and I'm afraid that we may have to leave."

Greg then closed his eyes and he knew that he had to get his son to talk about that day and what that letter really meant to him and why is Seto so upset that he's come home? He also knew that this just might put another wall up between them but so be it, he didn't want his son or granddaughter to leave again.

When Cassandra went to take her nap, Greg decided to talk to his son and he hoped that Joey would open up to him and that they wouldn't fight. Joey was sitting at the kitchen table when Greg walked in and he sat down and he said "son, we have to talk about this thing between you and Seto, because I won't lose your or Cassandra again." Joey looked at his dad and he said "alright."

Joey closed his eyes and then he said "Seto and I thought that we loved each other and that we wanted to be together forever though we had never you know had any sexual contact yet. Then I hear you and that man arguing about mom and then you read that letter and Seto wants us to be only friends, well I didn't know what to do.

First I find out that my mom wasn't my birth mom and then Seto wants us only to be friends well I had to get out of here and think. Then I go live with Aunt Theresa and meet Michelle and start having feeling for her and we talk and I tell her about Seto and she told me that if I wanted to I could go home and try to work it out but I wanted to stay and be with her.

So we dated for a month and then we got married and I finally found out that I really did love her and we had a daughter together and I was so happy and then she died and well my whole world collapsed. and if it weren't for Aunt Theresa and Michelle's older brother I'd probably would of tried to kill myself.

Now Seto wants to know about my daughter and I don't want him near her and if I have to leave to protect her and you I will. I don't know what the hell to do, I'm so confused."

Greg went over to where Joey sat and he asked him "do you have feelings for this Seto?" Joey looked at his dad and he said "right now I hate him for what he did to us and for thinking that my daughter was a brat, so I don't know what the hell I really want. All I know is that my daughter will never be hurt by anyone if I can help it."

Greg the said something that shocked his son "you have to talk to Seto and find out it the feeling that you thought were once there are still there and then you two have to talk about them and figure out what you want to do. Cassandra will be safe here at home whenever you talk to Seto and if you want him to meet her he will come here to see her." Joey knew that his dad what telling him this so that he would find out what he really wanted to know and he said "alright, I'll call him and we can sit down and talk about what we really want out of life."
