Chapter Fifteen

For the past two days, Seto's had several video conference calls with Pegasus as they worked out the details of the merger. One thing that concerned Seto was the employees who worked for him, would their jobs be intact or would they be fired when Pegasus took over.

The one thing that Pegasus reassured Seto was and it would be put in writing that the employees who were working for Kaiba Corp. wouldn't lose their jobs, unless they wanted to quit.

Finally, they had completed all that they could do through the calls and now Seto and Roland had to travel to Domino to sign the papers and Kaiba Corp. would belong to Pegasus, now the only thing left to do was to tell Joey.

Seto called and asked Joey if he'd have dinner with him, he had something to talk to him about. Joey knew that it had something to do with the merger and he didn't know if he wanted to hear what it was, but he agreed to have dinner with Seto anyway.

Seto called Jasper and asked him if he could tell him of a good Italian restaurant and Jasper smiled as he heard what Seto asked. He told Seto that Domingo's was the best Italian restaurant in New York. Seto thanked him and then he made reservations for that evening.

That evening when they walked into Domingo's, Joey wanted to tell Seto, "Stop this craziness and just keep the Company, that he'd find a way to live in Domino" but he just kept quiet and waited for Seto to tell him why they were there.

When they were seated at one of the best tables and the waiter took their orders, Seto looked at Joey and he said, "Tomorrow Roland and I are leaving to go to Domino, I'll be signing the papers that will finalize the sale of Kaiba Corp."

When Joey didn't say anything, Seto reached across the table and took Joey's hand in his and he asked, "What's wrong, please tell me."

Joey looked at him and then he said, "I don't know, maybe it's the fact that we've found each other again and are working things out to be together and now you have to leave and go back to Domino, what if." Joey couldn't continue, he had tears in his eyes and Seto reached over and wiped them away.

Seto then said, "Listen to me, nothing is going to happen, I'm only going there to sign the papers and then we'll be coming back and I'll never have to leave again I promise."

Joey tried not to let it bother him but something was nagging at him, what was it? What was the real problem here? He didn't know but it scared the hell out of him. Joey then said, "I know it, but what if something does happen, what do I do then?"

Seto smiled at him and then he said, "Listen, please for tonight lets not talk about this, I want to spend this night with you, not trying to analyze what might happen."

Joey squeezed his hand and he said, "Alright, I love being here with you, where did you find out about this place, did Jasper tell you?"

Seto laughed and he said, "I called him and asked where there was a good Italian restaurant and he told me about Domingo's so here we are."

They had a great dinner and afterwards, Seto asked Joey to dance and as he held Joey in his arms, and they danced around the floor, he vowed that nothing would ever keep them apart.

When the song ended, Seto looked deep into Joey's eyes and then he kissed him, then they walked back to their table and sat down and Seto said, "Could Mokuba stay with you and Jasper while we're gone, I know he'd rather stay here then go back and just have to sit while we talk and sign papers."

Joey smiled at Seto and he said, "You know that he can, it'll be great hearing about how he's doing in College, and Seto don't worry, I'll try not to let the dark thoughts come back, I love you so much and I don't want to go on without you."

As they walked out of Domingo's and got into the limo, Seto took Joey into his arms and kissed him and whispered, "I love you too and I can hardly wait until the day we become life mates."

When the limo pulled up in front of where Jasper lived, the driver opened the door and as they got out, Seto walked Joey to the door and he said, "I'll be back, you can count on that, I've found the other part of my heart and soul and I don't intend to lose them again." Then he kissed Joey one more time.

Joey went inside and as he closed the door, he knew that tomorrow would be the hardest thing he's ever had to do, watch that jet take off and have to wait until it came back again.

When Joey walked into the living room, he saw Jasper standing over by the window and he knew that something was wrong. He walked over and he said, "Jasper what's wrong?"

Jasper turned around, he had tears in his eyes, and he said, "Roland told me that tomorrow he and Seto were leaving to go to Domino and I'm terrified that something might happen."

Joey went over and he put his arm around Jasper and he said, "When Seto told me the same thing tonight, well I started thinking that something might happen, but then Seto promised that he and Roland would be back when the paperwork was signed and I believe him."

Jasper smiled at Joey and he said, "I guess if you can then so can I, oh by the way, Roland asked if Mokuba could stay here while their gone and I told him that he could."

Joey then hugged Jasper and he said, "Thanks, its been awhile since I've had time talking to him. I think that we'd better get to bed, we have to be up early to see them off in the morning."

Jasper said, "I'm so glad that you came here, ever since we first met, I felt that we'd become great friends, but I feel more like your father or older brother. I hope you don't mind that I feel this way."

Joey put his arm around Jasper and said, "Well dad, we'd better get some sleep; we want to be there to see them off."

Jasper laughed and as they walked down the hall he said, "Goodnight, and I meant what I said, you've brought more happiness into this house and I love you for that."

Jasper smiled at Joey as he walked to his room and as he closed the door, Jasper softly said, "You better come back old man or I'll come and get you." Then he went over, got into bed, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

As Joey closed his bedroom door, he went over and got ready for bed and as he was sitting on the edge of the bed, he said, "I'll be waiting for you to come home." Then he turned off the light and went to sleep.

At the Hotel:

When Seto opened the door, he found Roland standing at the window looking out at the star lit sky and he walked over and said, "We'll be back and then you and Jasper can exchange rings, and maybe Joey and I will join the two of you."
