~Joey~
Running into to first period just before the late bell rang, Joey slipped into his seat. Giving his friends a wave he pulled out his notebook and pen. He didn't think he'd make it on time. Not that he had ever cared about, he just felt it was wrong to be late/ I still wasn't sure way the thought that. Joey had woken up before his alarm clock went off and had silently gotten dressed and ready for school. He left a note by his bed lamp for john, when she woke up, He told her to wait till after school. The he would come by and take her to Yugi's.
"Pssst, Joey?" Yugi whispered as he turned in his seat.
"Yeah?" Joey whispered back.
"Where's John?"
"Mr. Muto! What is so important that you have to interrupt my lesson to whisper to Mr. wheeler." The math Teacher barked angrily, without turning around from the white board.
"N-N-Nothing." Yugi stammered as his face blushed bright red.
Giving Yugi a head shake he went back to taking notes.
"To find the six tragicomic functions of a right triangle you must find the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse. If you can only find one of those what formula would you use?" The teacher asked.
Joey didn't even raise his hand "Pythagorean theorem or a2+b2=c2."
The teacher stopped and turned around from the white board to stare wide-eyed at Joey. "That's correct, Mr. Wheeler."
He gave Joey a long stare before turning back to the board. "Does anyone know the six tragicomic functions?'" When no one answered the teacher smiled. "Sine-.'
"Co-sine, Tangent, Co-secent, Secent, and Cotangent." Joey replied again, baffling himself that he even knew the answers.
The teacher had turned all the way around and was facing the calls, frowning. "Mr. Wheeler, who is giving you these answers?"
"No one." Joey said, it was amusing to watch the teacher freak out over him knowing a few answers, much less paying attention in class.
"Then enlighten me, on how to find each of the six." The teacher said as he crossed his arms.
Joey thought carefully, then he just knew. It was as if he stepped into another mind. Joey knew he had, it was John's mind. "Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, Co-sine is adjacent over hypotenuse and Tangent is opposite over adjacent. Co-secent is opposite to sine so then it would be hypotenuse over opposite. Secent is opposite of Co-sine and Cotangent is opposite of Tangent."
"T-That's correct." The teacher stammered , stunned at Joey's knowledge.
'The easiest way to remember the first three is Some Old Hippy, Caught Another Hippy, Trippin On Acid." ( Sine= Opp/Hyp or SOH…ect…) and the last three are reverse of the first three." Joey added for good measure. The class burst into laughter at his analogy and most quickly wrote down his hint.
"Class! Class! Silence!' The teacher yelled. "Mr. Wheeler. I applaud you for information, but from now on, keep it to yourself."
Looking down at his neatly written notes, Joey smiled. This was going to be a fun day. And maybe school wasn't so bad. If he could cause this much raucous with his unknown brilliance, imagine what would happen if he studied! He had to admit one thing, things where changing. He didn't know how, or if it would even be good, but things had changed. And all of it had stared from his whish and then John showing up. Maybe it wouldn't be just a great day, maybe everything was going to get better?
Joey walked out of second period feeling great. He had know all the answers in both his Math and Science classes. He hadn't realized it before, but John was really smart, but it wasn't like he took the answers. She knew only half, he had gotten the others. Both teachers had been baffled and angered at his advanced knowledge. It was amusing for him to watch the teachers turned beat red before turning pale white, when they figured out he really did know the answers. His stomach grumbled as he headed down that hall with the other mass of students for first lunch. Doing work made him hungry.
"Joey!" Yugi called, as Joey made his way through the cafeteria to their normal table in the back corner. Tristan and Tea were already there and Ryou was hovering behind.
"Hey man!' Tristan said as he playfully punched Joey's arm playfully. "Did you take a smart pill this mourning, because Mr. Green's face was priceless when you corrected his error?"
"Ya, I know." Joey said with a proud grin. His day was getting better by the minute.
"Joey? Have you been studying?" Tea asked as she picked at her food.
"Yeah." He replied. Technically it was true. He'd been studying thru John. Since she was able to provide him with the basics he could expand from there.
Joey looked down at her plate and thanked the gods he normally brought his own lunch. It was supposed to be spaghetti, but since it clumped together so well it ended looking like a mass of intestines. Joey's eyes flew open wide as he realized what the annoying reminder in the back of his head was for. He had forgotten his lunch. It was still sitting on the kitchen counter in a brown bag. Letting out a sigh he sunk down into a seat next to his best friend. He's rather wait to have his lunch the even try and digest the school's food.
Yugi leaned close to Joey as he whispered so Tristan and tea couldn't hear. "Where's John?"
"I left her at home." Joey whispered back.
"Do you think-"
"Joseph Wheeler. Report to the Principals office." The intercom blared.
Joey got up slowly from the table and made his way out of the silent cafeteria. All eyes where on him watching for a sign, waiting to know what he had done. It wasn't the first time he had been called to the Principals office; he had been numerous times, for fights, skipping school, and misconduct. He probably shouldn't have answered all the questions. His teachers must have turned him in to the principle on suspect of cheating. His father would kill him if he got suspended again. Groaning, Joey walked past the secretary and towards the principal's office. He walked up to the door; a laugh came from behind the door. He knew that laugh. Not bothering to knock, he barded in.
"John!"
He wasn't sure what he was most shocked about. That she was at his school, laughing with the principal of the fact she was wearing the school uniform. The uniform looked worn and the hem of her blue skirt slightly freighted but other than that she looked like a regular high school student, which went to his school. Except she looked just like him and was wearing a girls uniform, it slightly disturbed him to see his face with a girls uniform. A thought crossed his mind. Could she tell he'd been tapping into her knowledge? At her feet lay his brown lunch bag. A smile reached his lips; she had come to bring it to him.
Turing around in her seat she was sitting in , John gave Joey a huge smile. "Joey! I was just telling Mr. Roberts that I would be attending this school and since I just arrived yesterday, I don't have a uniform or my paper, but luckily dad will handle that and they're lending me a uniform. So I don't stick out too much."
Dad? Joey thought.
I told him we're twins. John said as her grin got wider.
Twins? Joey could even make himself believe that. They did look exactly alike.
It's more believable then cousin, and technically we are the same.
"Right, but I had thought you might like a day of rest before you stared school again." Joey lied easily.
"Not necessary." John replied as she looked back at the principle.
Joey watched in amusement as Mr. Roberts; eyes slid to John's face and then Joey's any doubt he had that John had lied, vanished. You can't lie about looking the same, and Joey knew everyone would believe such a perfect lie. This was even better then baffling the teachers, he was lying to the principle, who ate it up with out a single bit out doubt.
"Well since your brother attends this school he would be the best person to give you a tour of the grounds. Shall I put you in the same classes?'
"That would be easiest." John replied as she stood up and bowed to the principle, who returned the gesture. John grabbed the brown lunch bang and followed Joey out into the hall. She could feel his anger and confusion.
"I'm sorry I-."
'How could you-."
"Let me talk first1' John said, as she held up a hand. "I'm in a different world. I'd like to experience it. I also was really bored and I noticed you had left your lunch." She said as she held out the brown bag.
Taking the bag, Joey threw it in the nearest trashcan. I was already bad. "So?"
"So….I can't sit still. I've never been able to. Plus I've never been to a public school before. I have always had private tutors and teachers."
Joey lead John to the school stairwell before the crowd students from the lunch room flooded the hallways. The stairwell was silent and only a soft hum of noise behind the thick metal door would tell of students passing by. Most students and teachers avoid the stairwells. It was a notorious hang out for the punks of the school.
"Guess that explains why you're so good at math and science."
Joey watched as John's face went from confusion to amusement. She busted into a fit of hysterical laughter as the bell rang, ending lunch. "I suck at Math and Science. English, History, and languages are my best subjects.
Joey froze, if she was so bad at Math and Science, then how had he known all the answers? Joey knew John was telling the truth, but if so did that mean he really did know those answers? Dumbstruck Joey halted in mid-step his foot about the climb the stairs. Joey was good with money, he had to be at his house. He managed the money in the house and paid the bills, kept a steady flow of jobs, and saved up money. It never occurred to him that he would be good a math because of his experiences. He really did have away with money. When he needed more to make ends meet, he had always found the perfect job. Since he was twelve he had his own private bank account, his father didn't know about. Joey could automatically calculate then interest and how it would go up according to how much he put in. It was the same as when he was at the supermarket. Figuring which was cheapest and got him the best deal.
Joey felt as if he'd been slapped with a cold towel. This whole time he had even led himself to believe he was stupid. True ha had never studies, but instead slacked off but he had at least always taken noted in class. Thinking about his math notes Joey was able to clearly see each page in his mind as if they where right in front of him. He had a photographic memory! A smile slid onto Joey's lips as he premeditated. He only had to see something one and he remembered it perfectly. Joey had long since abandoned the idea of going to college, but his new found talent arose a new possibility. He could actually try, and if he could memorize his notes completely from only writing then once, then he'd be sure to pass the exams if he did study for even a little while. First he needed an idea of what he wanted and then he would require a scholarship to-.
"Joey!" John yelled as she waved her hand in his face. One minute she'd been telling him about her English tutor and the next he was spaced out.
Joey turned to look at John. He felt different around her then he did with anyone else. On one hand he wanted to keep her close, she felt comfortable and he felt as if he could conquer the world. She made him see things about himself he hadn't even known. On the other hand he wanted to stay away, something about her felt as if it was eating him, as if part of him was slowly tricking out. It sent mixed emotions to his brain. He remembered the spirit and his wish. Maybe she could help him?
"Joey, what day is it?"
"Friday."
"Do you think-."
He would normally count down the minutes until the weekends, because Joey usually hated school. The awakening of his new skill, sparked an interest in him, he didn't think he had possessed. Joey wanted to learn. He had the sudden urge to go in every class and just listen. In all those years of thinking school was a waste of time, Joey could have been learning. He itched to visit the library. He was sure that if he set foot in there the librarians would faint. The last time he had visited was on the school tour before freshman year.
A hand made contact with his back as Joey was wrenched from his thoughts. John stood next to him on the stairwell. Her arms crossed and a soft frown on her face.
"If you're going to space out, tell me first. I must look like a loon talking to a spacer. I might as well have been talking to a wall. The only difference would have been a wall doesn't make faces when their thinking."
Ignoring her comment, Joey started walking up the stairwell. "John what do you want to be when you grow up?' Joey asked.
Maybe if she knew, then it could help him, He abruptly wanted to run to the guidance office and announce his new finding. He was going to apply for college. The guidance councilors had been nagging him for weeks to decide what he wanted to do after high school. Joey couldn't wait to see their faces when he told them.
John looked back at Joey thoughtfully, as if she was puzzled by the question. "Choose?"
"Yeah! What do you want to do in your future job? I need Ideas so I can figure out mine."
"I get that! But you can choose?" John asked eyes wide in surprise.
"Well, you can choose what you want to be, but first you have to graduate high school and then get into a good college. Afterwards you apply for the job you want, but you still might not get it due to competition and all."
"That sounds nice." John said as her eyes became distance. "In my world you don't choose. It's chosen for you. When you turn nine you're taken to JIC. There is a series of physical, mental, emotional, and genetic testing and then you are assigned the field and job best suited for your skills.'
Joey looked at John dazed, wondering if she was joking. The serious look on her face told him otherwise. It was the same look he'd seen on her face the night before, one of sadness and duty. It was as if she kept secrets behind her, and she dared not show to anyone else. The thought of having your life chosen for you sickened Joey and made his head spin. What kind of life was that? Seto's face appeared before his vision, his eyes sad and broke. Did he choose, would he have chosen differently? Startled at that thought Joey forcefully brought himself back to John.
"What where you assigned?" Joey asked.
A look of disgust passed over John's face. "Management."
"Of what?'
John looked up the stairwell and then her eyes roamed over the wall. It didn't look as if she wanted to say. "Jinks Inc. &Corp….I run the company."
Joey raised his eyebrows in surprise. That explained why she had understood Kaiba's actions. "You don't seem too happy."
"Trust me, no one would be. JIC or Jinks Inc &Corp is the company that runs the tests. I'm helping a company cage others for life, in a life they may or may not want. It's not something I can go to bed feeling accomplished about."
"Can't you change jobs?"
"Gods, you need to come to my world and speak to our officials." John said with a harsh laugh as she turned the corner and headed up another flight of stairs. "No one can."
"That doesn't-."
"No it doesn't, but Joey I live in a world where everyone has a job and a place they are needed. Yeah, we still have crimes and murders, but only every so often I think last year only thirty people where murdered world-wide. We haven't had any worldly conflicts or wars, since JIC was created seventy-five years ago. Countries work together and everyone follows the rules. It's wrong and twisted. Your future partner is even determined during your testing, to maximize the chance of compatibility. But think about it we, give up our right to choose for a utopia." John said, rubbing her neck wearily. "I've thought about obliterating the system but…. I can never go through with it."
"Can't you ask someone….like your mom or dad? Or the pervious owner?"
John let out a bitter laugh. "That woman only keeps me around for the money. She couldn't care how I feel or what I think, only that I can provide her with enough money to do as she pleases. The man before me died four years ago. I wasn't supposed to take over JIC until after my twenty-seventh birthday. I basically got shoved into it without any training or experience."
Joey walked in silence next to John as they made their way up the flight of stairs to the second floor. His better nature wanted to know more about her, but he could tell it bothered her to talk about the other world. The only thing he could to would be to distract her. It just so happened that was his special skill, keeping a string face Joey reached out and poked John's arm. She turned to look at him, questioning. Joey watched from the corner of his eye as looked away from him shrugging.
Bad Idea! Joey was never to be underestimated.
Reaching out again he poked her arm twice this time, still with a straight face. She swirled around, eyes wife. Looking in his face she kept walking up the stairs. She shivered and rubbed her arm nervously, shifting her eyes from side to side. As if looking for ghosts. A smile snuck from under his mask, quickly Joey put his mask back on and poked her arm three times. John stopped moving and turned to face Joey full on. Her face scrunched up in annoyance. Joey almost burst out into laughter, but he firmly held onto his mask. Joey looked John full in the face, his emotionless. Slowly he widened his eyes comically. John half smiled at his bugged eyes. She took the bait! Even slower so she could watch, Joey lifted his finger to her arm and stopped a centimeter from her skin. Widening his eyes even further until he felt they'd pop out of his skull, Joey paused and took a breath. Then he repeatedly poked her arm. John burst into laughter at Joey's over exaggerated actions. It was so awkward it was funny.
Shaking her head slowly, she continued up the stairs, skill chuckling. She needed a good laugh to clear her dark skies. Joey was like the sun in her life. He made all her worries seem to disappear. John hoped hanging around him; such qualities would rub off on her.
Joey followed behind feeling thoroughly accomplished. At least now she was smiling and acting more carefree. From the little he knew about her, Joey had a feeling her life wasn't that easy, and that was something he could relate to. It helped him forget about pain, and worry when he was laughed. Which was one of the reasons he did so whenever ha had the chance.
No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over
Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here For Your Entertainment (1)
Startled at the pop music, Joey looked at John's skirt. Something vibrated in her pocket. John stood still and looked at Joey and then down at her pocket. Hesitantly she reached in and retrieved a red call phone. She looked at it in disbelief before flipping it open. Joey wondered who could be calling her.
"Hello?" She said in a tone that showed fear.
"Whoa! Slow down!" She replied to the voice.
"No! I'm fine I'm-." John turned and glanced at Joey then looked away. "I'm far away.'
"I haven't gotten any other calls. My phone's been off. I just now-."
Joey leaned closer until his ear was touching John's phone. A male's voice was growling on the other end. Joey instantly recognized the voice and concluded it was Yaron.
"John! I've been trying to contact you for over twenty-four hours. Where the hell are you?"
John sat down on the top step, motioning for Joey to do suit. She held the phone away from her face as she snapped it shut and said 'speaker'. Instantly Yaron's voice boomed and echoed in the stairwell. John put a finger to her mouth, signing for Joey to stay quiet. Intrigued to 'meet' Yaron, Joey obliged.
"I'm sorry, but I've kinda been bu-."
"The system has shut down. Jinks is off line. I've tried everything and I have everyone on the problem.'
"What!" John cried in horror, guilt instantly filling her head. She should be there, instead of there goofing off.
"The system wasn't checked at all on Saturday."
"Today's?"
"Sunday, the day before testing." Yaron said, as he let out a long sigh.
Joey looked over at John. Here it was Friday and there it was Sunday. That wasn't as he had imagined. He thought that they both ran on the same time. He wondered who was ahead a week. Was there another world in-between, that was Saturday?
"Did you use Red Override?" John asked as she raked her brain for the answer to solve this world halting dilemma.
"Yes!"
"Reboot the system?'
"Done twice."
"The whole system?"
"Of course, do you underestimate me?" Yaron snapped back. "I shouldn't be having this conversation with you over the phone. You should be here in the lab right now."
Ignoring his command, John dropped her head in defeat. "A virus?"
"No! The system is down not dead."
"Do you have a backup program?' Joey whispered in John's ear. John's head snapped up as she grinned widely at him. "Yaron! Take Jinks completely off line and run Links for today. Only do half of the testing and finish the rest on Tuesday after Jinks had rested."
There was along pause. "I'll do that but where-?"
"I'll make sure to monitor conditions I have my red-eye with me, and I'll e-mail you later." John said as she tapped the top of the phone twice, ending the call.
Joey was astonished when John engulfed him in a giant hug. It had been a long time since he had hugged another girl. Tea didn't count, and neither did his sister. Joey was quiet sure he couldn't count this as hugging a girl, because she was him, in anther way. It felt oddly strange and unsettling to realize he was hugging himself. Joey couldn't shake the feeling of wrongness from his mind. He wasn't sure if it was because things where moving too fast for him to keep up with or that there was something admits.
"I'm not sure what I'm more excited about; that I have signal in another world or you just saved my ass." John replied as she sighted happily and let go of Joey. "I hadn't even thought of Links. He such an old program."
"You're welcome.' Joey said sheepishly.
It was and odd feeling, he wasn't used to feeling helpful. He was normally the cause of the problem. He liked the feeling it gave him, the sharp head rush and feeling for pride.
"What have we here?" An appealing voice said from behind.
Joey and John whipped around at the same time, their foreheads colliding. Both jumped back wincing in pain. A deep laugh echoed as the voice found their pain amusing. Holding his forehead Joey looked up and scowled at the boy who towered over them. Kaiba, who Joey believed to be the most heartless person in the world wouldn't have laughed that joyfully at their pain. Hell Kaiba would have only smirked. Next to Kaiba who was, and probably always would be his least favorite person, Duke was second.
Duke Devilin grinned down as if he had won the jackpot. Joey grinded his teeth together, he glanced at John and saw her staring up at the black-haired boy with stunned eyes. Remembering what John had said about her previously dating Zane, the alternate of Duke, he blushed. No way in hell, he could ever like Dice Boy.
"I don't believe we've meet before." Duke said as he extended a hand to John.
John took the hand and allowed him to pull her up until; she was standing a few inches away. She could tell this boy angered Joey, but right now she was too entranced to care.
"No, we haven't." She replied, still stunned at his face.
It was hard to remember that this boy was not Zane. He looked like him, but their auras and the way they held themselves where different. Zane was more charismatic and his eyes were constantly smiling. This boy seemed more sad, and desperate, he couldn't shine as bright as Zane. Her cheeks burned red as she remembered Zane's soft lips engulfing hers and his warm breath tickling her neck as he nibbled on it.
"My name's Duke Devilin, owner of Dungeon Dice monsters."
"Oh! Well..I'm Johnathan War- just call me John Wheeler." John stuttered as she caught herself before she said 'Warren', right now she was a Wheeler.
"Well John, what are you doing with him?" Duke said as he ran a finger along her jaw bone. "If it's a boyfriend or a real man I'm available. I'm sure your tastes are above those of animalistic nature."
"i-I'm not with-."
"Let go of her!" Joey cried in fury, as he leapt up to his feet.
Joey was livid with anger; a cold chill ran down his spine, his breathing accelerated. Anger burned in his eyes, only Kaiba had ever made him feel angry enough to rip another persons' head off. How dare Duke touch him in such a way…John in such a way. Joey grabbed duke's hand and shoved him away from john. The black haired boy stumbled back, his face a light. He took a step forward as Joey put his arm around John. It felt wrong to have Duke touch them…Them? Like a bolt of lighting striking him, and Joey knew how that felt, he tightened his hold on john. He thought of her like an extension of himself, and he didn't want Duke touching either of them. He didn't even like the thought of Tristan touching her.
"Fuck Off." Joey hissed.
John stood as still as she could mange. She had never been in a fight between tow people. Much less the cause of the fight. It was exciting and terrifying. She didn't want Joey to get hurt, but she didn't like the idea of seeing him punch the other boy.
"OH! Don't want me taking your girlfriend?" Duke taunted as she sauntered closer. Looking at John he winked.
"She's my twin." Joey snapped back.
Duke stopped inching closer and looked at John then his eyes shifted towards Joey, and then back to John. A thin smile slipped on his lips. Now that you've enlightened me, I can see that now. But I'm sure John would rather hang with me then a furry."
"Joey is not an animal. He has far more class than you. The shame, how dare you insult myse-…my twin to my face and then think I would prefer to 'hang' with you." John yelled at duke as she smacked his hand away.
Joey felt his chest puff up at John's outburst. It made him feel important. Letting go of John's shoulder he grabbed her wrist. Giving Duke a hard glare, he flicked the boy off and turned around and ran down the stairs pulling John along. He kicked the metal door open a sprinted down the hall way. Laughter escaped hi lips as they ran. Joey felt light and airy as if he could do anything. His whole life had changed around since John had shown up. His hunger for learning dulled as he pulled John through the school's front doors. He jogged through the school yard and out the gates. He ran until his lungs hurt and he was dragging John down the streets.
Letting go of her wrist, Joey fell down on the side walk gasping for breath. John collapsed beside him weak-kneed. She was a nerd not an athlete! John looked around in amazement. He had dragged her half-across the city. They where sitting in front of a huge house. John slapped Joey's shoulder weakly, he looked up tiredly and she pointed behind her shoulder to the mansion. Joey stood up slowly and looked at the half as if it would pop out of existence. Joey gawked at the house. He had been thinking of one person while he ran, the same person he couldn't get off his mind since last night. The same persons who lived in this house. Joey gritted his teeth together as he growled at the mansion and the thought of its owner. Joey frowned as he squeezed his eyes tightly then opening then again to clear his head of those piecing blue eye.
"Where are we?" John asked as she stood up slowly.
"Kaiba's house."
John let out a breathless laugh. "Was he to embarrassed to come to school today? I bet he's never had a black eye before."
"Careful, he may be a bastard, but he's a bastard with money." Joey warned.
John waved her hand in the air dismissing his warning. "He won't do anything. Everyone's ego needs to be bumped down every now and again.'
Jokey looked over at John and wondered of she was speaking from experience. It was hard to imagine himself as the most powerful person in the world in charge of the worlds leading company. It would explain why she under stood the CEO so well, she was one.
From the corner of his eye, Joey saw something blue and round come flying towards them. He knew he didn't have enough time to dodge whatever it was, so he braced himself for the inevitable attack. He had taken his fair share of hits and he knew the most this object could accomplish would be a large bruise. John reached out and shoved Joey into the iron gate as the object flew past and hit the sidewalk, bursting and spraying water everywhere. It was a water balloon.
Instantly she whipped around to stir up at the boy. He was sitting in a tree that was a few feet away from the gate. Another balloon was in his hand. He grinned evilly at her and aimed for her head. He threw the next balloon and John felt as if the world had slowed down, she easily dodged the object as it sprayed her feet with cold water. It bewildered her, at how easily she had dodged that balloon. John never had any athletic skills; her genetic testing stated she was a klutz. Plus it was hard to maintain control of your body when it regularly had attacks.
"Seize Fire!" Joey yelled back.
Mokuba halted and looked at Joey, a wide gin happily played out on his face. The little devil was enjoying torturing John.
"She hit my big brother."
"Your brother threatened me." John retorted, sticking out her tongue.
Angrily Mokuba sent another balloon flying in her direction. Joey reached out and caught it a foot away from John's face. He drew back his arm to send it back to the kid, a sly grin oh his face.
"Heal!"
Startled Joey jumped back as he let go of the water balloon. From the corner of his eye Joey watched as the water balloon flew from his grasp and smacked into John's stunned face. On contact the balloon busted at the pressure. John glared at Joey thought her wet bangs and pieces of rubber. The balloon had been filled with soapy water. Turning to rip a new on in whom ever had startled her counter part, john closed her open mouth. Kaiba stood a few feet away from her, his arms crossed and eyes blazing. His gaze bore into her, involuntarily John took a step back. She had seen that look before. It was the same look her sister had given their mother on many occasions. It was a look of protectiveness. An animistic one?
Putting her hands up in defeat "We're not going to hurt him."
"What are you low-lives doing here?" He hissed angrily.
Joey clenched his fists and took a step forward. John winced but refused to show her hurt. Crossing her arms, she smirked as her eyes trailed away from his intense blue ones to the black eye. "Checking to see how you where doing"
Joey turned to face John his mouth slightly agape. His gaze flickered from John to Kaiba hurriedly. They stood glaring at each other, daring the other to back down. Joey was inwardly rooting for John for joining his club of defying the bastard, but part of him was also rooting for Kaiba. His face turned a light pink as he realized he didn't like the thought of Kaiba loosing to anyone, especially to her. Joey's back stiffened as he realized he was jealous of John, for being able to stand on the same level as Kaiba. He quickly pushed away that absurd thought.
"Come on John, moneybags doesn't want us to even be near his house." Joey said
Kaiba looked away from John and star3ed at Joey. Joey blinked quickly as he realized he had shocked Kaiba into loosing a duel. All he had done was talk. Did his voice have that much of an effect on the older boy?
"I need to run some more tests." Kaiba said blankly, his eyes never leaving Joey's
"Just admit you want us to stay." John quipped.
Kaiba frowned his gaze deeping, as he contemplated the girls words. Joey thought the other boy's eyes would swallow him. His word narrowed to the color blue. He was snapped out of his daze as Kaiba and turned sharply and walked away. He stopped and looked over his shoulder.
"Hurry up mutt." He called, as he continued to walk forward.
John watched silently as the gears in her head move a mile a minute. The invitation had been especially for Joey. Joey glanced at John, his eyes dazed and unsure.
