Chapter Five
Dug A Hole to China
It was strange how he had been able to open the door without the key. As it swayed open in a false welcoming gesture Jonouchi took a small step back. The apartment remained silent and he decided a little investigating wouldn't hurt. Creeping along with his back pressed against the wall he passed the living room. Nothing seemed out of place. Magazines, newpapers, and bottles still littered the floor like always. His father had called the place his bedroom so Jonouchi had recieved the room at the end of the small hallway. He glanced at it nervously. The blonde crept by the greasy yellow bathroom and its off white shower. Sweat beaded about his forehead and he smeared it absent mindingly on his sleeve leaving a small wet stain. Finally he managed to approach his doorway. A shaky palm pressed against the cold doorknob and in one swift motion, after his courage was gathered, Jonouchi flung the door open positioning himself in a defensive stance.
His room was a complete mess. The blonde's eyes grew wide at the scene, the rickety ceiling fan had been turned on and rotated about like it was about to come off its stand and chop his head off. Papers flew around landing everywhere in the room. His bed spread was in the corner of the room along with his computer chair he had saved up for during a part time job at a coffee shop. Golden eyes stopped to find a note on his cheap second hand desk. Scanning the room once more, Jonouchi grabbed onto the paper and pulled it off the knife it had been impaled by. It was plain and simple yet it made him fall to the ground in hopelessness. His fingertips scrapped the carpeted floor as they pulled back into his palms. Sharp insiscors cut his lip in frustation. How dare they do this.
Warehouse 7 by the piers. 8:00 Friday
As he yelled and threw things about the room, his watch started to beep at him signaling him it was time for work. It was around the time his father came home and he decided he rather not have another confrontation with the man. Especially after last night. Stuffing the note in his pocket the blonde took a few deep breaths to calm down. He rubbed his eyes trying to stay awake and looked around seeing the destruction he had made. A little mound of ripped items laid haphazardly on the floor after he had thrown them at the wall which now had several dents on its surface. Jonouchi stumbled out of the apartment after stuffing the diary's key in the inner pocket of his inside shirt.
Jonouchi stretched his arm as far as it could go but he just couldn't get the tomato juice can on the shelf. He would've gotten the step ladder had it not been in the basement. The thought made his skin crawl. The manager had said that a girl had been murdered down there years ago and her spirit still wandered about killing any boys that stepped into her domain. He hateed anything involving ghosts or curses. The door chimed and Jonouchi put the can down to sit behind the counter. He wiped off the imaginary dust off his apron to feel a bit cleaner. Seeing who it was he let out a groan. Great Kaiba was now officially stalking him. On top of the yakuza, his father, and his job Jonouchi knew he couldn't take much more of this. His arm cast itched which reminded him of the injury and he eyed it menacingly. A hand held up his head which felt too big at the moment from a headache. He started banging his head on the fake wood counter wishing Kaiba away.
"If you kill anymore brain cells you won't have any, mutt." The CEO crossed his arms and stared down with a cold smirk. The blonde sent a glare up at the other trying hard not to flip him off then and there. There were cameras and he didn't want to get caught. Besides he would rather have this job then flip burgers at some run down shack of a fast food restuarant.
"Go wayyyyy," He whined with his head still implanted in the counter. "The 'nly problem I got is you, dumb prick." The brunnette leaned on the counter like he had before.
"When did you break your arm?" Jonouchi tensed at the question involuntarily. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Slowily picking his head up he averted his eyes from Kaiba who was looking at the appendage like it had ruined his day.
"On m' way to work...I slipped down some stairs." A thin brown eyebrow rose, the frown on the CEO's face only deepened at the response. The taller teen leaned further back with his arms crossed over his chest. A sigh rose from his mouth as he pinched his nose.
"Listen mutt, I don't like it when you lie to me. You can keep fooling your pathetic excuse for friends all you want but you do NOT lie to me! Like hell you fell down some stairs!" Kaiba slammed his hands onto the table, examining Jonouchi closely who was nervously looking around the store after jumping from the noise. "Look at me," The blonde shook even more as he felt trapped. A hand reached out a grabbed him by the jaw. "Look at me." He glanced at Kaiba before looking down at the counter. The CEO shook his jaw and Jonouchi winced a bit from the pressure. Kaiba was now leaning over the counter slightly, nose to nose with Jonouchi. "Now," The other gave him a hard look. "Tell me how you broke you arm."
"It's none of yo business, alright..." The blonde mentally cursed himself for sounding so unsure and weak. His voice had quivered crescendoing into a whispering. It was embarrassing to act like this in front of Kaiba. His jaw was shook again.
"It is my business now tell me." A pink tongue shot out and Jonouchi licked his dry lips uncomfortably. He wondered why he was blushing so much. "Listen mutt, no one can help if you don't tell anyone what's wrong." He didn't want Kaiba to know, that was that, it couldn't be that hard to understand. He had to fight back. Get out of here. As a last resort Jonouchi sent a glare up at the teen trying to retch free from the others grip.
"Nothin's wrong alright!" He flew back keeping his distance from the other. Jonouchi, panting lightly, sat back down on hs stool. "Now if you not gonna get anything, I'll have to ask you ta leave, sir." His voice went cold and he crossed his right arm over his cast. Letting a a small 'humph' as he closed his eyes and stuck his nose upwards. The taller teen looked down at Jonouchi, his face emotionless.
"I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice." The CEO acted like what he was about to do was too tiresome before grabbing onto Jonouchi's wrist and tugging. The surprised blonde hit his cast on the counter and growled in pain. The brunette, unmoving, tugged harder. "You're coming with me."
It was at that time the manager hobbled out. He walked up to the brunette with displeasure written on his face. "Is there a problem sir?" His voice sounded as if he was talking with his mouth full. His hands were placed behind his back like it was only natural for him to be doing such a thing. Kaiba let go of the blonde's wrist who stepped even further away from the counter.
"I'm sorry but your employee is not feeling well and is going home." Kaiba sent him a dirty look before turning back to Jonouchi. "Let's go mutt." The manager stepped closer. His bald head began to shine with sweat. Kaiba sent him a glare that stopped him in his tracks. "Come any closer and I'll buy this place then make you watch as I build a coffee shop where your store used to reside." Fumbling for words the manager bowed his head before letting out a small 'Jonouchi go home and get some rest.' Apparently the spectacled man realized who was standing before him and he grabbed an apron to take the blonde's place.
This was the second time Jonouchi had to sit next to Kaiba in his fancy limo. With the heater on the hot leather started to stick in every place imaginable and creak at every move he made. The radio was turned off and the silence unnerved him. Questions gnawed at him and he bit his lip trying to keep silent. The driver waved his hand at the two and Kaiba nodded. Jonouchi stared at the brunette confused at the secret message sent. "Yo, Kaiba," Jonouchi glared at icy blue eyes. "Where are we goin?" The brunette turned to look out the window.
"If you can't answer my questions why should I answer yours?" He was at a lost for words and he looked away from the other in shame. The door to his left opened, it was the driver, and a cloth suddenly covered hsi nose. It was wet and had an unpleasant smell causing Jonouchi to send a punch in the chauffeur's direction but it was blocked easily. His limbs began to feel numb but he continued to struggle. He muffled curses in protest but soon began to fill drowsy. Jonouchi's eyes drooped shut and a pair of arms caught him and held him close as he lost consciousness.
"It's for your own good."
His vision was blurry at best. Jonouchi blinked several times but was unable to rid himself of the fog that had somehow managed to invade his eyes. He heard someone rummage around for something and blonde hair was gently grabbed and his head lifted. He could make out someone standing in front of him leaning down to look him in the eye.
"Took you long enough to wake up, pup." Kaiba's voice was gentle, suprising Jonouchi who squinted at the other to see him better.
"Why are you doin this?" Jonouchi grunted in annoyance. Why would the CEO do such a thing he hadn't a clue. Kaiba leaned back on his chair while the blonde did the same.
"I need the truth and I need it now. I don't like playing games pup. I just create them." The play on words caused the blonde to twitch and Jonouchi clenched his teeth in a rage. He felt his blood boil and his eyes screwed shut.
"This is just a game to you then?" Kaiba chuckled lightly as if it was the funniest thing Jonouchi could've said.
"As if, you dumb pup." There was a pause and Jonouchi squinted to see Kaiba looking down at his wrist to his gold watch. He could see the white of Kaiba's teeth and assumed the other was smirking. He was right. "Now tell me how you broke your arm."
