Author's Note: This is my shortest chapter ever! I did this in one night... I had no idea how to end it, and I thought that this was good, since the next chapter is going to be very long. And I mean it. Also I got to do a oneshot for a friend on here-I'm not telling who-and it's gonna be different for me!

Also, thanks to the people that have reviewed so far! 16 reviews! :) I was surprised I got passed even three! Thank you all once again!

Disclaimer: As of today, I still do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Man, all the ideas I could do with Joey and Seto... :D

Chapter 10 – When You Got a Good Thing

"We're home!" Mokuba cried out as Joey and Emily ran to the couches, and fell upon them, closing their eyes. "Must be exhausted…"

Seto closed the front door and nodded. "They've been through, let's say, a lot."

Mokuba turned to his older brother and sighed.

"Do you mind if I get something to eat?"

"Just something healthy, Mokuba." Seto called out as his younger brother ran to the kitchen. Seto walked over to the living room, noticing Emily was on one couch, and his little puppy dog on the other.

What now? I love them both, but I don't want them either to get hurt… If only I knew what the other was thinking of…

Joey turned his back to the couch, as Seto decided to watch these two sleep for a little bit.

I'm just thankful that they got Mana back, and, to be honest…

Seto had to gulp as he crossed his arms and his right leg went over his left.

I'm thankful for my puppy… Emily too. She opened my eyes… And she's the second person to have done that… Of course, the other being the drooling idiot on the couch.

"Here, I got you an apple, Seto." Mokuba said as he gave his brother a shiny red apple.

"Thank you, Mokuba." Mokuba nodded and sat down on the floor, next to his brother, eating a banana.

"Brother… Was it scary? Being in that world, I mean."

"Well…" Seto flashed back to the first moment he could remember of the virtual world. He blushed as he bit down into his apple. "Towards the end, it did. But thanks to the mutt-" He still called him that in front of certain people. "-and to you too, we made it out safely."

"That reminds me Seto: Did Yami get his leather pants back?"

They both looked at each other and had to laugh.

"I'm not sure at all. Marik hid them very well, from what Odion told me." Seto pointed out as Mokuba smiled. "Where are they at, to be honest, Mokuba?"

"He threw them in the garbage!"

Seto had to choke back a laugh.

"Oh, God! What I would have done to see his face!" Seto cried out as Mokuba couldn't stop laughing. As the Kaiba brothers sighed, Seto saw Emily wasn't getting comfortable on the couch.

"Mokuba, take this apple and throw it away, please?"

"Eww! It has your germs on it Seto!" Seto still shoved it at him, but took his banana peeling and used it as a napkin.

"Well, I'm going to take Emily up to her room, where she can rest, peacefully."

Seto got up and moved towards her. "What about Joey?"

"We will torture him." Mokuba frowned, but smiled, nonetheless. "Hang on, Emily. I'll take you up to your room."

"Okay…" Emily said, sleepy-like, as Seto remembered her room, and opened the door slightly. Emily was falling in and out of consciousness as Seto was putting her on her bed, but she gripped his trench coat.

"Emily, let go, please."

Emily's eyes opened wider as she glanced up at Seto's face.

"Seto… I'm sorry." Seto was a little confused.

"About what?"

"Everything… If I didn't go to Kaiba Corp, then we wouldn't be in this predicament."

"Emily-"

"Please, Seto, let me finish." She sat up, putting her left hand onto the other side of the trench coat's collar. "Everything is my fault! If I didn't duel you… If I just stayed home and just took your cold shoulder, then… Everything would be okay!"

"But, if you didn't go there, those damn assholes would have gotten to me, or to someone else, and hurt them! I am, actually, thankful that you went to Kaiba Corp today." Emily shook her head as Seto got onto her bed, trying to make Emily see the bigger point here.

What am I going to do? I know more that she does, but… Doesn't she know as much as I? I love them both, Emily and my puppy, Joey…

He HAS to know more than I do! I have kissed Joey! But, I wasn't too sure if it was a real kiss… But we were both NAKED for pete's sake!

Both stared at each other, trying to analyze each other with their eyes, as Emily did the most hearted thing.

She hugged Seto.

She has no strong reason why, but she felt the need to.

"Emily?"

"Just hold me. I just need a wall to lean on. And yours is the only one here."

Seto sighed, softly, as he held Emily in a strong, convincing hug, both trying to sort out their feelings mentally.

Joey woke up, about an hour or so, later as he smelled a delicious aura coming from the kitchen. We walked to the kitchen, slowly, as he saw THE Seto Kaiba making dinner! And, if Joey had a camera he would be taken pictures to black mail him with, in an apron! A blue one, but he really wished for it to be pink and girly. Joey had to stiff back a laugh and walked into the kitchen, smiling at his crush that was cooking spaghetti and meatballs.

"You know-" Seto jumped two feet in the air at Joey's voice. "-if I didn't know better, it looked like you need help."

Seto turned to see Joey, waving back at him, and rolled his eyes.

"I don't need any help."

"Whatever moneybags." Joey crossed his arms, watching Seto get a little frantic for a moment. "Do you want me to help ya, 'cause it's gonna be this time only… And I'll tell everyone that you really did do all th' cookin'!"

Seto sighed and moved away from the stove. "Just put the garlic bread in the stove, please."

"No problem." Joey did as he was told, putting the bread in the oven. For a split second, Seto's eyes were being glued to Joey's behind. Now, Seto can only blush and continue to get as red as the spaghetti sauce. "Is that all?"

Seto nodded and pushed Joey, gently, out of the way, and Joey threw his hands up in the air.

"Can you go get Emily? She's in her bedroom, asleep."

"Oh, okay. Do ya want me to get Mokuba too?" Seto shook his head, stirring the sauce up.

Well, what's up with prissy ass today? AH! He's probably trying to show off to his brother, or maybe to Emily… … … Nah. He wouldn't!

He knocked on Emily's door, noticing that it was already open, as he saw her still asleep on her bed. Joey smiled as he walked over to her bed and sat down on her bed.

"Emily… Time for dinner…" He nudged her shoulder, as she didn't move.

Hmm… Plan B.

"Emily… Seto's made dinner for us! And he's wearin' an apron!" Emily didn't stir as Joey was getting a little worried.

Plan C.

Joey decided to take it to the next step. "Emily…" He leaned down towards her lips, and stayed right there. "… Please… If you don't get up right now, I won't kiss ya… And ya know in the virtual… That was very…" He leaned down to her ear, whispering, "…enjoyable." Emily's face started to turn red as Joey smiled. "I gotcha Em'! Now, wake up or Seto will wonder where in the world we are."

Emily rubbed her eyes, like she's been asleep for a whole day, and sat up.

"I was having a good dream… And you had to wake me up!"

She glared over at Joey and gulped loudly.

"S-s-sorry?"

"You owe me Joey Wheeler."

"Fine fine." She got off the bed and walked to the door, holding onto the handle. "Will this do for now?" He leaned towards her lips and kissed them, chastely, as Emily stopped him.

"For now, yes, but that still doesn't make up for waking me up."

She let Joey out first, followed by herself.

"Well, what was th' dream about?" He asked as she put her hand through his and smiled.

"You."

Emily got up the next morning, with the birds chirping, as she glanced over to the phone-Oh, that's right! She doesn't have one! Well anyways, Emily got up and stretched, hoping to find Joey. But then, her mind wandered back to her family.

"I haven't talked to my mom or dad, or my friends, in a while… And I said that I would call them… Well… If it's seven over here… What is it over there?" She thought outloud as she went downstairs. "No one's up…"

Emily smiled and walked upstairs to get some more sleep. However, walking back upstairs, she heard a voice, or two, in one of Seto's conference rooms. Emily decided to listen, for a little bit, and put her ear to the door. Thank goodness the doors were poorly made.

"Yugi, why did ya call me this early?"

That was Joey… What is he doing in there?

Luckily, the phone was on speakerphone.

"Ishizu talked to Yami last night, and I think it's time to send the spirits away."

"What do you mean, send the spirits away? Ya not making' sense Yug'."

"Well… The Egyptian spirits within you have to be laid to rest, tonight. Yami said that each of you will get a Millennium item, and that's where each spirit will resign in."

Seto looked at Joey as he nodded.

"Well, what time does this shindig start?"

"Let me check…" After a brief silence, Yugi came back. "We need to be at Ishizu's home around eleven."

"That's fine." Joey uttered as Seto was about to turn the phone off as Yami's voice came on.

"Hold on. Before I hang up, I need to talk to Emily."

"Emily? But she's asleep." Seto said as Emily opened the door at the sound of her name.

"No… I just woke up a minute ago, Seto." The guys turned to face her as they looked at each other.

"Emily. I need to talk to you. Is that fine?"

Emily walked over to the phone. "Yes."

Seto and Joey walked out of the room, closing the door, and, Emily only hoped, they walked downstairs.

"Now… What's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yesterday afternoon, after we left the virtual world, you and Joey seemed to be…"

"Out of it?" Yami replied with a invisible nod. "Well… He did something, but it wasn't nothing bad! Trust me!"

"Are you sure? Because I've tried to get a word out of him yesterday, and nothing… Are you guys-"

"No! We're just… friends…"

Seto and Joey were still at the door, listening to the conversation a little more than they should have.

"We should leave her alone." Seto whispered as Joey shook his head.

"She listened to our conversation!" Joey whispered back, trying not to get loud-even though he was a little flustered.

"But, how do you know that?" Joey rolled his eyes as it was getting good.

"I just feel… confused. I love Joey and Seto, like they were my own brothers!"

"But you feel that they are… something more?"

Emily nodded, knowing Yami didn't see it, but he could feel it.

"Emily… You better get your feelings sorted out."

"Yami… I feel like… What happened when we lost our souls… We battled the darkness. I was stuck in a dream world, a beautiful one. But, when I opened my eyes to the truth of it all, there was unlimited darkness… I was searching for something, somewhere, anywhere!

"Joey was able to find me in all the darkness… He was my light, you can say… Then, we found Mana, in the darkness, lead by Mahad, and before Joey departed with Mahad-because I said I needed time alone with Mana-well…"

"He kissed you."

"…Yes… He did… I was flabbergasted…"

Seto's eyes widen as he stood his ground, knowing that Joey was his puppy, and his alone!

I claimed his first kiss! Me! Not Emily!

"But, when he kissed me, I didn't know if it felt real or not…"

"Because you guys were spirits." Emily replied with a yes, making Joey listen attentively now.

She's goin' through th' same problem I was goin' through!

"What do I do now?"

Yami sat on the other line, trying to come up with something.

"Talk to Joey about it. See what he thinks. And, possibly, try to make this relationship work out."

"But, I didn't know if it felt real or not, not only because we were spirits…"

"Hmm?"

"Because it felt like he had put his lips on someone else… before… And it didn't seem... I don't know... Romantic?" Emily put her head down and gulped. "It felt like it was, rushed, in a way..." Joey's eyes widen, Seto's as well, as they decided to leave before it got worse.

Yami, on the other line, and Yugi listened as Yugi's eyes grew, holding in a smile and to not let in he was listening as well, when he wasn't suppose to.

"Well, Emily… I think I know where you're getting at. Maybe, after Mana's gone, you'll be able to get re-focused on Joey."

Yami shrugged as Emily smiled, softly, and nodded.

"Y-yeah… It's probably the stress of it all… I'll try that Yami… And thanks…"

"If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here, and Yugi will be here IF I'm not here." They both chuckled as they said their goodbyes and hung up.

Emily sat in that room, knowing the truth without crying over the phone.

He knew it too… Seto and Joey… I love them both, but it seems that they love each other… Man, and I thought this was going to be a wonderful summer, too…

"Emily…"

Mana's voice echoed through her head as she ignored her.

"At least let me try to comfort you, Emily."

She shook her head, knowing that her summer, over in Japan, had been officially ruined.

Author's Note: Well, that's the shortest chapter you might read, next to a couple coming up later on.
