DISCLAIMER: Still do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Oh well...
Chapter 13-Stars Tonight
Emily went towards Seto's conference room later that night. After Seto said that she could see her parents, she was excited, and felt a little better actually. It was a little after midnight here, but over at home, it was probably around 9 in the morning over there. Opening up the double doors, she saw both Joey and Seto there. Emily gulped, silently, as she walked over to them both. They were in their pajamas as they looked up at her.
"So, is everything ready?" Emily asked softly as Seto nodded.
"Yes. If they got my reply this morning, then everything will be ready." Seto confirmed as Emily sat between them both. She looked at the computer and noticed it was a brand new computer with new stuff on it (she still sees the CD's to install the stuff behind the computer).
"Excited?" Joey asked as Emily nodded. She stared back at the computer seeing that it was Skype. "This is your Skype account. Seto and I created it for you and your family."
Emily looked up at Seto and Joey and smiled.
"Thank you. Both of you." She hugged them both as the computer flashed on and a message came up saying, DO YOU WANT TO START A VIDEO CHAT WITH Family? Emily clicked YES, and within moments, her mother was on the screen.
"Emily?"
"Mom! Where's everyone?"
"Your father's at work and your sister is asleep. She'll probably be up soon." Emily nodded.
"How is everyone?"
Enily's mom smiled. I missed her smiles. "Everyone is great. They all hope you took a lot of photos for us! It's not like someone in our family gets a free trip to Japan."
"True true... Oh, mom! I forgot to tell you that I made lots of friends over here!"
Emily's Mom smiled again. "I'm so glad you did!"
Emily nodded, pointing to Joey. "This is Joey Wheeler. He's the first person I saw over here, not counting Seto here."
"Nice to meet ya. Too bad we can shake hands..." Joey pointed out as her mom laughed.
"Same here. I think I hear your sister coming downstairs-Hey! Your sister is online!" Little feet ran over to the screen as Emily's little sister, Madison, jumped in her mother's lap.
"Emily!"
"Hi Madi. You miss me?"
She nodded. "Yes! I want to have some chocolate pancakes with you."
"We will when I come back, I promise." Emily holds a pinkie up and Madison smiles.
"Alright. Mom? Can I have some of those pancakes today?"
Her mom nodded and Madison jumped off her lap. "Mom."
She looked back at Emily. "What is it?"
Emily gulped, looking at Seto, then Joey, then her own lap where her hands layed. "There's something I need to say, but Madison shouldn't hear."
Her mom turned to say something to Madison, and Madison left the room. She turned to the computer monitor, letting out a breath, and sighed.
"What is it?"
Emily turned to Seto and he nodded. Joey took Emily's hands and held them underneath the table, to calm her down.
"Mrs. Johnson, while Emily was over here..." Seto looked over at Emily, and she nodded to continue him on. "...She was kidnapped, and... supposedly was raped." Emily's mom's eyes grew, holding her chest with her hands. "But, the tests came back and everything was negative. They didn't rape her, which made all of us relieved here." Emily gripped Joey's hand as Joey nodded unconsciously.
"I'm sorry we had to bring that up, but we had to tell someone, and I felt that if we told your husband, he would kill us both." Seto suggested, but Emily's mom just nodded.
"I'm just glad that everything is okay. Emily-"
"I'm coming home by the end of this month, mom."
She raised an eyebrow.
"But, that's only a couple weeks from now? Why so early?"
Emily looked up at her mom. "It's a long story... That I would like to tell you." She looked over at Joey and Seto. "Can I have some alone time with my mom? Please?"
"I don't mind. Just get us when you're done." Joey said as Seto nodded.
"Are you sure, Emily?" Seto asked as Emily stared at her mom, nodding slowly.
"I am." Both of them left, closing the doors, and Emily was alone with her mom, several thousand of miles away.
"Emily? What's wrong?"
She blinked, coming back to this world, and sighed. "Well, it's a long story."
"Really long?" Emily nodded. "I told your sister to take a bath. She won't be back for half an hour."
Emily smiled and crossed her fingers underneath the table.
"Well, you know that boy, Joey, that I introduced to you? Well, we are dating."
"He's cute Emily!"
"Mom..." Emily moaned as she shook her head. "Let me get to the long story."
"Sorry."
"Well, to begin off, Seto, Joey, and I had these 'magical powers' within us. We were each reincarnated spirits from ancient Egypt. Weird? I know. Well, after I was, supposedly rape, these guys that went after us, wanted our powers only. So, they trapped us in a virtual reality game. And I was captured, like the idiot I am, and was put up in a duel again Seto. Joey was dueling his father, the leader of the gang. I lost on purpose, aganist Seto, so that he could defeat Joey's father if Joey was to lose, which he did. We were in this otherworld where spirits in this world met, but I wasn't for sure. We were there because of this thing called the Seal of Oricahlcos. We lost our souls, and that's where we went.
"Joey and I talked, and after that moment, we came back to our bodies, and escaped the virtual world. So, after that happened, we had to send our spirits back to the spirit realm. And well..."
"Emily. I'm still here. Go on." Emily nodded and gulped.
"...Seto started to drink some strong wine? I think it was, but I didn't ask. And I was helping him up to his room because he had some glass shards in his arm. I repaired what I could because we were out of some peroxide, and Joey and Mokuba went in town to get it. And..." Emily looked down, blushing, and whispered something softly.
"I didn't hear you Emily. Speak up." Emily had her head down, tears pouring down from her eyes as her mom's eyes grew again.
"I...I had sex...with Seto... I didn't know how to stop him, and he must of g-gave me some of it t-to drink... It was a blur... I'm so sorry!" Emily grabbed a tissue and blew her nose.
"Sex? But-"
"I went behind Joey's back... I feel ashamed. I wanted the first time to be with him, but..." She blew her nose again. "...when we came back from the virtual world, when I kissed him... His lips felt different... I think that Seto and him kissed, behind MY back, and this is a love triangle that's killing me! That's why I want to come home sooner than usual... I'm ashamed to have sex with someone who's NOT my boyfriend, and then they kiss behind me, and I feel that they should belong together, honestly."
They did look cute together... Emily's mom shook her head and sighed.
"Do you still love Joey?" Emily nodded.
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
She wiped the tears from her eyes and blinked. "...I'm horrible, aren't I?"
"Emily, people make mistakes, but don't blame yourself. You did use protection, right?" Emily nodded again as her mom sighed across the screen. "Then... I care about your safety, Emily. I just want you to take everything with a grain of salt, and go on with life. You are okay, and that's good. Just remember: If you ever need me, I'll be here. We won't tell your father anything, okay?" Emily nodded as her mom nodded.
"MOM! I need help!" Madison yelled as Emily chuckled.
"You better go help her, mom."
"Right. I love you, and I'll see you soon."
"Same here. Tell everyone I miss them and that I hope to see them soon."
"You got it. Take care dear." The screen flashed off, leaving Emily in the conference, alone again.
Do I feel better? I finally let everything get off my chest, but is this going to make me feel better?
Emily looked up at the doors, which haven't opened, and turned the computer off. She got up and walked over to the doors, opening them, and noticed that it was clear. She walked back to her room, noticing Seto coming out of Mokuba's room.
"I have finished up in there." Emily told him as Seto nodded.
"Okay. Do you feel any better?"
"A little. Thank you for letting me talk to my mom."
"It was nothing. Get to bed. We have that concert tomorrow, remember?"
"Concert?" Seto gulped as he sighed.
"Well, the cat's out of the bag now..." He turned to face her. "Mokuba had an idea. He wanted to take you to a concert, with all of us, to make you feel better. The concert is a once in a lifetime opportunity, since Lady Antebellum is going to be here-"
"WHAT? Lady A? Are you serious now?" Seto nodded as Emily hugged him, tightly, and smiled. "I can't believe you guys are taking me there! I can't believe they are having a concert here! Oh my God! Thank you! Thank you!"
Seto smiled and ruffed up Emily's hair. "You're welcome. Besides, thank Mokuba. It was his idea. Now, get to bed. We have to get up a little early if we want good seats."
"Yes! Night Seto!" Emily called out as she ran to her room and jumped into her bed, excited about tomorrow.
Seto crossed his arms and walked to his bed room. So, she noticed Joey's lips tasted differently... She must be a master of lips... He shook his head and slowly walked into his room and to his bed. But... How am I suppose to tell her that our 'little' protection was destroyed while we had sex? Oh, God... This isn't going to be an easy two weeks...
That next morning, everyone was up really early, even though they didn't need to be up until noon.
"Do you know what you're going to wear tonight, Emily?" Mokuba asked as Emily shrugged.
"Depends. Where are the seats at?"
Emily looked over at Seto as he sipped some coffee and glanced down at the tickets.
"Hmm... They say they are up by the stage..."
"Oh, wow! I've never been that close to the stage! Heck, this is my first concert!" Emily smiled as Mokuba grinned.
"Really? This is my second one! Yugi and everyone had tickets to see Utada Hikaru a few years ago. We had lawn seats, and the concert was awesome!"
"Utada Hikaru? I love her!"
"Honestly? I'll let you borrow one of CDs I got!"
Emily smiled and hugged Mokuba. "Thank you!"
"Well, where is this place again?" Joey asked as Mokuba jumped from his seat.
"It's in Tokyo! It's a bit far from here, around a few hours from here, so that's why we want to leave by noon."
"That makes sense."
Seto sat his coffee on the table as everyone looked at him. "We need to get ready. Make sure you all wear comfortable clothing, and well..."
"Have fun?" Mokuba suggested as Seto nodded.
"Right. Meet down here in an hour." Mokuba and Joey raced up to their rooms as Emily just walked upstairs, slowly.
"Seto? Are you coming?" Emily asked as Seto nodded.
"Yes. I'm just... Yeah, I'm coming." He walked behind Emily as they split to go to their rooms.
How the hell am I going to tell her? Maybe nothing will happen at all! She's-
"Seto? Why are you still following me?"
Seto blinked as he almost bumped into Emily.
"I, uh, sorry..." And turned around to walk back to his room as he bumped into Joey.
"What's wrong?" Joey asked as Seto shook his head and walked around Joey. Emily crossed her arms as Joey grabbed Seto's arm.
"What?"
"What's going on? You have been in a daze since ten minutes ago." Emily pointed out as Seto shrugged.
"I'm trying to think about... what to wear for tonight." Seto murmured as Emily turned around and stayed in her spot.
"Seto... I think you're lying. It's simple... See you later, guys." Emily whispered as she walked to her room and shut the door.
Joey turned to face the CEO. "What th-"
"I might have gotten her pregnant!" Seto rapidly said as Joey's eyes grew.
"What?"
"...I might have gotten... Emily... pregnant..." Joey was about to punch Seto's face as he held Joey's punch in his right hand. "D-don't tell her."
"Seto, she's my girlfriend! And I...I haven't even done anything with her! God, Seto! Can you ever keep your hands off anything?" Seto frowned and put his head down.
"Joey..."
"I don't want to talk to you until later tonight." He turned around and walked towards his room, but stopped. "We will talk about this in private."
Joey turned around and walked back to his room. Seto slumped to the floor and gulped. He put his hand up to his heart, trying to calm it down.
"Well... That couldn't have gone better, could it?"
After the concert, Emily and Mokuba were talking about the concert.
"That. Was. AMAZING! I love Lady A!"
"I'm glad you liked it! I was really anxious, but when I found your iPod, I saw that you had Lady Antebellum's albums! Thanks for introducing me to American music!"
"It's nothing, Mokuba." Emily smiled as the limo came to a stop. "Are we almost home?"
Seto and Joey looked at each other, making their glares harder on each other.
"Almost." Seto murmured as he looked down towards the ground.
"Okay then..." Emily murmured back as she looked out the window. It was nighttime as she saw some businesses closing up for the night. She held her Lady Antebellum shirt to her chest as she shook her head and tried to make some small talk.
"Well... What was your favorite songs from tonight?" Emily asked as Mokuba piped up.
"I liked American Honey, but my absolute favorite is Long Gone. What about you brother?"
Seto shrugged and nodded. Emily frowned as the limo stopped and turned to the right. "Well, alrighty. What about you Joey?"
Joey turned towards Emily, removing his glare at Seto. "Ahh... Need You Now. I really liked that one." He grabbed Emily's hand and gripped it tightly. Emily smiled, softly, as she moved towards Joey.
Something has to be up... Should I even question it?
"Umm... Joey-"
He leaned up towards Emily's ear and whispered, "When we get back to the mansion, I want to talk to you. Is that okay?"
Emily nodded and stayed by Joey until the limo stopped and the driver opened the door. Joey dragged Emily behind him, Seto and Mokuba following behind. Walking up to his bed room, Emily gulped as he shut the door and locked it.
"Joey! Open the door!" Seto yelled as he pounded on the door. Emily turned to look at the door, and back to Joey.
"Joey?" Emily whispered as Joey grabbed Emily, easily, and stared down at her eyes. He wanted to say everything to her-his love for her and Seto, the accident with Seto with her-as he looked at her soul. "What's wrong?"
"Joey! If you don't open this door, it's coming down!"
Joey let go of Emily and unlocked the door and opened it for Seto. Mokuba was right behind his older brother, gulping.
"What the hell is going on here?" Emily asked as Seto walked into the room, but turned back to Mokuba. Leaning towards him, he whispered to him, "Will you please go call Yami and Yugi? Tell them that nothing's wrong, but we might need them. Also," Seto hesitated as he closed his eyes, "please call Tea... Tell her to bring... Umm... I'll call her on my own. Just call Yami and Yugi, and then go to bed."
"But... Okay... I will." Mokuba left the room as Seto closed the door and sighed.
Emily looked at Joey and Seto, slowly, and moved a little away from them both. Oh, no... They're gonna tell me everything! I'm not ready for it! Not yet!
Joey moved towards Emily as she stared at Seto and he stared at her.
"Seto, Joey... What is going on? Please, tell me."
Joey gulped softly, but Emily could hear it all the same.
"I have something to tell you, and..."
"And what? Seto..." Emily put her hands up to her heart, trying to calm it down as well, as Seto turned around from her sight.
"... I'm sorry, but what I'm about to say is the truth. Joey... He's here to confirm everything that I've told him... And that I've asked Yugi and Yami to be here as well."
Joey looked at Seto now. "Why?"
Seto turned back to them both, sighing, and hiding his eyes from them both.
"Just in case...if either of you...don't want to be here tonight..."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well, now I hope it's getting good! I really wanted to get this out before the New Year, but I do have some resolutions. One of them is to finish all my FanFiction stories before my birthday, which is in May. I think it's possible! :D
Also, I'll try to put up Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants up ASAP. I might type it tomorrow, but it won't be posted until a couple days later. I have a lot of ideas for new stories, and I'm just plain lazy... At least the braces get off two week from now! Heck to the yes! :)
DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
