Alright everyone, lucky you, here's an all new chapter…I have nothing more to say I think, I'm still hoping the new computer will be bought soon, this stupid 1999 computer is killing me (I hate it) anyway, enjoy! (though I'm not sure using that word is really right if you remember what happened next chapter.)

Chapter 12 : No excuse.

"What the hell where you thinking doing something stupid like that?" Joey yelled after Seto, following him through the hallway leading to the brunet's office.

"Back off Wheeler." Was Seto's only answer, right now wasn't the time to bother him, he had angry, angry at Raven but mostly at himself for letting himself fall for his insults. He couldn't get his sister's face out of his mind, he couldn't believe he had done such a thing at her wedding; he couldn't have picked up a worst time.

Of course Joey wasn't going to let it go that easily, he was never one to back down in front of Kaiba and especially when the brunet asked for it, without forgetting the fact that this was also his wedding, though he was more concern about Meyli right now, and as far as he had seen, it was Seto who started the fight. "Hey, I'm not letting you go until you give me a proper explanation to what happened." Joey said, blocking Seto's path. "You owe me at least that."

"Get lost." Seto said, pushing him out of the way and passing in front of him.

"Hey get back here." Joey tried to follow him but a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He turned around and saw Yugi. The shorter man shook his head.

"It's no use running after him like that, you'll only make him angrier. Let's go back, in those kind of situation the best thing to do is do as if nothing happened."

Joey sighed. "I guess you are right, but he's better give me a good enough answer later. Anzu must be so mad right now." He thought out loud while going back to the party.

"I'm not even sure she understood what happened, anyway she probably will not even be able to remember what happened tomorrow." Yugi said.

"What do you mean?" Joey asked.

"Didn't you notice? She was drunk." Yugi said.

"What do you mean drunk? Anzu was never such a drinker…she know she have zero tolerance alcohol and she have a performance tomorrow morning." Joey said, he couldn't believe Anzu would get drunk all by herself, that wasn't a party, it was a wedding.

"I know, but it doesn't change the fact that she was. And something tells me that Seto had noticed also, he was talking to her before the fight started. But for now enjoy the rest of the evening" Yugi said.

When he entered the ballroom Joey scanned the area to find his wife, seeing as she was wearing the big white dress she was quite easy to spot; Mokuba had taken her to the dance floor, probably to change her mind or something, she was quite shaken up by what happened when he left to go after Seto. He decided to wait for them at their table, the song would be over soon. However, when she saw him Meyli didn't wait for the song to end, she thanked her little brother for worrying about her and went to join Joey.

"Are you alright?" Joey asked when he noticed her.

Meyli nodded. "I fine I guess."

"I'm really sorry about what happened." Joey said

Meyli let out a small bitter laugh. "You are not the one who should be sorry." Even if she was putting on a cheerful face Joey could tell she was sad, he took her in his arms and hugged her lightly.

Seto passed the next few hours calming himself in his office with a bottle of vodka, he wasn't drunk or course, but the alcohol helped to calm his nerve, which was something he needed it he didn't want to kill someone. When he heard nothing but silence he decided to get out. His cheek was sore, which was one more reason to kill that black headed freak but right now he had more important things to do, like checking out on his little sister.

"Hi Seto!!!!" Before Seto even had a chance to understand what was going on his little brother fell in him. "I was wondering where you were hiding." Mokuba said with a cheery voice, holding himself against his brother.

"Mokuba, are you drunk?" Seto asked.

The teen looked up at him and grinned. "No, Why?" He asked, laughing slightly for no reason.

Seto rolled his eyes, that was a stupid question to ask but at least he got the answer he wanted. Not really minding to have a reason to pull back his talk with Meyli he helped Mokuba to stand up straight and helped him get to his room, he flinched, thinking about the major hangover his little brother would have the next day. Seto sighed as he let his little brother (who apparently found the situation quite funny) fall on the bed, Mokuba wasn't as heavy as he used to be, he was almost as tall as Seto now.

As he left the room he collided with someone, when he looked up he saw Meyli standing in front of him. "Hi Meyli!!!" Mokuba yelled still laying on his bed.

Meyli however, ignored him, her complete attention was turned to Seto. He felt his guilt raise up when he saw all the pain and disappointment in her eyes. He was so engulfed buy her eyes that he never saw her raising hand. He flinched when he felt her hand hitting his soar cheek. He raised his hand to his cheek and flinched again when he touched it.

"I guess I deserved that one." He said.

"Heck yes you did!" Meyli yelled at him, tears of mixed anger and sadness formed up in her eyes. "How could you do this to me? Was it really that hard to keep your hormones and pride in check for one evening?"

"Meyli, let me-"

"I don't care nor want to hear about whatever explanation you have." Meyli interrupted him. "I don't care what is going on between you and Anzu or Raven for that matter but-"

"He's the one who started it." Seto said, his voice raising.

"I said I don't care." She yelled back. "You're the one who hit him first because you were too stupid to just accept the truth and admit that you can't have her. Anzu is going out with HIM-"

"She has nothing to do with that-"

"Oh yes she does." Meyli interrupted him again. "I know you enough to know that much, that and the fact that you are an egoistical bastard who can't accept to not have what you want."

"You dare to call me egoistical? After everything you did I took you in no questions asked while I could have easily sent you back in the hole you came from." Seto yelled back.

"Don't bring that up, you are the one who picked that fight for some stupid pride reason, I can't really blame Anzu for preferring to stay with Raven, I feel sorry for the girl who will be stupid enough to marry you."

"Well if staying with me is so bad you just had to say so and I would have gladly freed Julian(1) and sent you back with him, it would have spared my 'egoistical' self a lot of unwanted trouble." Seto yelled back.

Meyli's eyes widened for a split second before they burned up with anger. "Well, I wish I never came here, and don't worry, I'm not going to impose myself any further, I'm leaving, for good, so you won't ever have to see me anymore" She said, turning around and leaving.

"That's a relief." Seto yelled back at her before going to own bedroom.

"Owwww, why did you let me drink this much?" Mokuba complained, his head lying under his arms on the coffee table to prevent any light of reaching his eyes.

"Well I thought it was funny." Tristan said.

"That's the thing with vodka, it kicks in way later so you don't know when you had enough." Yugi grinned behind his newspaper. "At least this time you didn't set the mansion on fire."

"Don't worry kid, all you have to do is drink plenty of water and it'll pass." Tristan said. "So, how did things ended up after we left?"

Mokuba shrugged, his head still hidden under his arms. "I don't even remember when you left."

"Did you know that Seto and Anzu had been having a secret affair for the past five months?" Yugi said.

"Yugi, why are you reading those craps?" Tristan asked. "You know they are nothing but lies."

"Maybe, but I think it's better to know what is being said, Anzu is our friend after all. And who knows, sometimes they're guess are not that far from the truth."

"So you think there's something going on between Anzu and Seto?" Tristan asked skeptically.

Yugi didn't answer the question. "Hey Mokuba, congratulation, apparently you asked Rebecca to marry you yesterday."

"What???" Mokuba raised his head but regretted it instantly when the light aggravated his already unbearable headache. "Please, tell me I didn't do that, Seto will kill me."

Yugi laughed. "Calm down, you hadn't asked her when I took her home yesterday so unless you woke up in the middle of the night to as her, you're safe."

"That's good to know, but I still had a feeling I forgot something important."

"Hi guys!" Joey greeted as he joined them at the table.

"Hi Joey, glad you could finally show up." Tristan answered.

"Not that loud…." Mokuba hissed well hidden under his arm.

"Yup, it's always less fun the next day?" Joey asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Mokuba said.

"If you're this beat up I can't imagine how poor Rebecca is." Joey said.

"So, when are you leaving?" Yugi put his newspaper on the table.

"Tonight, Meyli had to go see the doctor before we leave." Joey said. "By the way, what the hell happened yesterday Mokuba? Did you have a fight with Meyli yesterday? She went to check on you before leaving because she was worried of your state, when she came back she was crying but she wouldn't tell me what was wrong. However she acted as if nothing at all happened when she woke up this morning."

"It's no use, Mokuba here can't even remember what happened three hours before we left." Tristan said.

"But he did say that he felt like he had forgotten something important." Yugi remembered them.

"Fighting huh?" Mokuba wondered aloud, he slowly sat up straight trying to put his head together. "That rings a bell… I think."

"What do you remember?" Joey asked.

"Well…I'm not too sure…I do remember someone helping me get up the stairs, if she went to check on me then it must have been her I guess." Mokuba said.

"Somehow I doubt it." Joey said. "No offence but you're not really light you know, you're a good head taller than her and I doubt she would have been able to get you up two levels."

"If you ask me, I'd say it was probably Seto." Tristan said.

"Yea." Mokuba said, suddenly putting a few pieces together. "I do remember seeing him now that you mention it…And I saw Meyli too….well all I remember is something white so it was probably her right? I also remember…shouting. I think her and Seto started to argue about something."

"Gee, I wonder why?" Tristan said.

"You think…it was a big fight?" Joey asked worryingly, of course as sibling Seto and Meyli sometimes argued, just like he did sometimes with his own sister but after what happened last night he feared that the argument might have been more serious then a normal sibling fight. For Meyli to be crying like that Seto must have been really hard on her.

"I don't really remember, it's really foggy but…" Mokuba stopped.

"But what?" Joey asked.

"I think she slapped him." Mokuba answered.

"Well he sure deserved that one." Joey said.

"I do remember a few words like bastard and egoistical, and something about imposing, trouble, leaving for good and relief." Mokuba said.

"Well, egoistical bastard makes a lot of sense to me but the rest doesn't mean anything if you ask me." Joey said. Though he now had a better idea of what was wrong with his wife so he felt a little relief.

"I think I also heard…" Mokuba paled slightly and stayed silent.

"What is it?" Joey asked. The more he knew what was going on the more he could help Meyli feel better.

"I…" Mokuba hesitated for a while but seeing everyone curious and anxious look he sighed. "Seto mentioned Julian at some point."

"What?" Joey asked. It was forbidden to say that word in front of Meyli for all kind of reason, it had all kind of effect on her, after all, the jerk abused her for years. When he learned what that creep did to Meyli Joey personally wished to kill him and would have if the man wasn't 'safe' in prison. Now he understood better what was wrong with Meyli, it Seto dared to use that name then the argument was even worst than he thought and it would probably be a lot harder to get over it this time, for both of the siblings.

Alright that's where I'm stopping, wew, that turned out way better than the first chapter I wrote, I had this chapter more than half done but I didn't like it, I redid it entirely, it's 100 different, nothing is the same, but I wrote it all today when I came back from school, took me about 3 hours or so, So, I guess the two of them will stay mad a little bit longer (maybe it's cliché but what do you think, a nice little reconciliation just wouldn't make sense and it would be boring) I can't guaranty any other update before next Thursday though, I have three exams next week and my mom might be coming over this week end so you'll have to wait a little.

I know you wished for longer chapter but you'll have to deal with that, I've been writing chapter that long for 2 years and a half and with my over charged schedule it's that or nothing. (I'm sure you prefer that)

Don't forget to review!

(1) (for those who didn't read double is trouble) Julian is Seto and Meyli's uncle, while sEto went to the orphanage Meyli went with him but he abused her and actually raped her, when Seto found out he made sure to send him in prison.
