Author's Note: I had to put something up for a chapter. It's a little cliffy, maybe. I was a little stuck at the end of this, and decided to post it anyways. The next few chapters might be a little bit short, like this one, but I want the ending to be long (ie-10 pages?). And I am so sorry for being a little late on this. I'm a procrastinater... :( It might be until the end of next week for a new chapter. I'll explain at the end of this chapter.
Disclaimer: There's a little thingy in here about the female body. Don't be offended anyone!
Also, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh at all.
Chapter Fourteen: Love This Pain
Emily's heart picked up as she heard the front door slammed close. It wasn't meant to be loud, but Emily gulped. She heard familiar voices as they walked into Joey's room. Yami and Yugi stopped at the door and glanced over at Joey, Seto, and Emily. And yes, in that order.
"So, what's going on? Mokuba called us and it seems serious..." Yugi pointed out as Yami walked over to Emily.
"Could someone start to explain?" Yami asked as Seto turned to face the group.
"Shouldn't we wait for Tea?" Emily wondered as Yugi walked in the room.
"Why should we wait for Tea?"
Emily put her head down as Yugi and Yami looked at each other, starting to communicate via mind-link.
/Yami... Is she what I think she is?/
\\I think you are right.\\
"Emily, I think we could go on without Tea. I'll fill her in." Yugi suggested as Emily nodded, but kept her head down.
Yami then looked at Seto with curious eyes. "What do you need to tell us that couldn't wait until tomorrow?"
"I... There's something that I've been holding back for a bit, to Emily and Joey, and they both need to know. If they don't want to be here, then they can stay with you guys tonight and come back here tomorrow." Seto's voice had dramatically changed. It was a little soft before, but now it had grown strength.
Yugi and Yami looked at each other as Emily and Joey looked up at Seto.
"To Emily." She gulped, covering her eyes. "...When we were in the virtual world... I found Joey first, and, to be honest, I had no idea what came over me! But... I kissed him."
Emily turned to face Joey as he turned around, trying to hide his redden face.
I figured as much. Should have known. Emily thought.
"And that's all. I knew that you both were going out, but my heart just had to let everything out. I'm sorry."
Emily turned to Seto, getting up, slowly.
"What do you want me to say?" Emily whispered to herself as Yugi crossed his arms.
"That's all?"
Yugi asked as Seto shook his head. "There is something more. Something more sinister."
"Did you kill someone?"
"Yami, I didn't."
"What's more sinister than killing someone?" Yami wondered as Seto turned to face him.
"Back stabbing a friend in the back."
Yugi un-crossed his arms as Yami glanced at Joey, once again.
"I told Joey something, something I didn't tell you. And there was also something else I haven't told anyone yet."
"What is it?" Emily had to ask as Seto went to her, put his hands on her shoulders.
Seto thought as he blinked just for a second. "I..." Joey turned to hear as Yami and Yugi moved a little closer to them. "I got the test results back. The one for the rape." Emily nodded. "They were negative." She breathed as she fell to the ground.
"Really? That's such a relief!" Emily cried out as Joey's eyes grew. He didn't know either, same with Yugi and Yami.
"That's the good news, isn't it Seto?" Yami asked as Seto nodded. "What's the bad news?"
Forgive me, Emily.
Emily stopped smiling as she glanced up at Seto. His back was to the group as he was at the doorway.
"Emily and I..."
"Seto... Don't say it outloud-"
"I have to!" Emily jumped a little at Seto's tone. "They have to know because of what happened a week ago!" He turned to the group. Joey, Yugi, and Yami was near Emily as Seto's face turned red. "We did it... Emily and I had sex. While we had sex..."
"You used protection, right?" Yugi softly asked as Emily nodded.
"The condom... It broke... And Emily might be pregnant."
Emily's eyes grew big as Yugi looked at Emily and Seto, for a little bit, as Yami was trying to hold back Joey.
"You knew this, Joey?"
Emily's voice stopped Joey in his tracks. "I knew you guys had to use protection... But now that I found out that the condom had broke... It makes me mad! How could Seto have sex with my girlfriend?"
Emily got up as she still looked at Joey.
"I'll make sure to get tested. I don't know what to do, in a way, but my heart will tell me what to do." She murmured as Seto still stayed where he was. Not moving, not saying anything. You could cut the tension in this room with a knife.
"That's why you wanted to call Tea." Yugi thought outloud as Seto nodded.
"I'm going to my office. I need you guys just to think this over... And to cool off a bit." Seto walked off, leaving the four of them flabbergasted.
Emily sat down on the ground, pulling up her knees, and covering her face.
"How could this happened to me?" Emily asked herself as Joey kneel to her height.
"Emily..."
"I don't wanna talk." Joey crossed his arms as Yami walked out of the room.
"Yami!" Yugi called out as he stopped at the doorway, looking for which way he went.
Why me? I knew coming here wasn't going to fun. How right I was.
"Emily... Please talk to me. I can help you-"
"How? How can you help me? I went behind your back and did it with Seto! I don't even want to consider us being friends no more!" Emily cried out, tears falling from her eyes, as Joey grabbed her left arm and pulled her into his grasp.
"I know that I can't help you... But I will be here, if you need me." Joey whispered in her ear as she nodded.
Emily tried to stifle back a tear or two, but her tears still continued to fall. Meanwhile, Yami was on the hunt for Seto. It wasn't hard. It was down the hall from the kitchen, and it had his name on the door. Yami knocked on the door.
"Kaiba! Open this door right now!" Yami yelled as the door opened, on its own, as Yami walked in and shut the door.
Seto was at his desk, his arms on the desk and his face being covered as well.
"What do I do now?"
"Huh?" Yami walked over to the desk.
"What do I do now that I told Emily everything? My life is ruined."
Yami crossed his arms. "Well, you were right about letting them cool off. If Joey is still steamed when I leave this office, I'll let him spend the night with me and my aibou. However, Emily, on the other hand, has no where to stay, that is, if Tea shows up."
"I just called her. She should be here soon."
Yami sighed. "She'll probably want to stay with Tea. There is only one thing you have to do, and it's not going to be the easiest thing you have done."
Seto looked up, still covering most of his face.
"You have to win back their trust. That's not going to be easy, after what happened tonight."
"Yes. I know that."
Yami walked over to the door and gripped the handle. He stopped and turned to see Seto's face covered again.
He's going to be a wreck...
Yami opened and closed the door and slowly walked back to the group in Joey's room. Luckily, if you want to say that, Tea was in the room, talking to Emily. Joey was outside of his room, and the door was shut.
"Tea's in there. They are talking... And Emily didn't want me to hear."
"Are you wanting to stay with us? Yugi and I, that is." Yami asked as Yugi sat on the stairs, listening to them.
"Possibly. I want Emily far from Seto, and she's not going to be here without me."
"But you will have to convince her."
Joey nodded as the door opened up. Tea came out, holding something in a bag.
"We're going to need about thirty minutes to ourselves. Umm..." Tea began to say as Joey nodded.
"I got it. Let's get something for Emily. Something to eat and drink."
"Good idea." Yugi pointed out as Yami nodded.
"We'll go on ahead and work on it."
Yami and Yugi walked down the stairs. Joey turned to Tea.
"How is she?"
"She has calmed down a little."
"I don't want her here tonight. She's not staying here unless I'm staying here as well."
Tea nodded. "I'll tell her. She might stay with me, but it depends on her mood."
"Okay."
"And, about this test..." Joey gulped. "...They are usually correct. BUT, I would rather she wait and see if her period comes or not. Then, I would do the pregnancy test."
"Has she been on her period?"
She shook her head. "She said it's not time for it. I would wait until she says she needs to go see a gynecologist. It's a lot to take in, isn't it?" Joey nodded as Tea smiled. "Just give her space and she'll probably be okay."
"Alright. Tell Emily I'll see her in thirty minutes."
"I will." Tea promised as she opened and closed the door.
Joey's nerves were fried. He didn't know whether he should kill Seto, or comfort Emily. It was a lose-lose situation, the way he looked at it. It was a lose-lose situation because one: Emily might want to forget him and go for Seto. Two: Emily will be going back home by the end of this month, and what if she doesn't want the child?
Joey walked downstairs and laid on the couch. He closed his eyes, trying to relax, and dream that this was all a bad dream.
Seto was trying the same thing. Both hoping that this was a bad dream and that everything was going to okay when they wake up.
That, will not be the case in this fanfic.
See, it was a tad bit short... :P
Well, here's what's going on: Since I made the Girls' Varsity Tennis Team, I'm gonna be busy as heck! I have three matches next week, so that's why the next chapter is going to be delayed...
Also, it's my Senior Year and I have to do a research paper on a controversy. Annoying, right? Anyways, I also have to get ready for my Class Night stuff in May, and studying for exams in May as well. I'll update my BIO later this week.
DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
