OO My hairdryer just took on fire while I was drying my hairs, luckily nothing burned (except from the hairdryer) but my hairs are still wet and my room now smells like burned plastic……
I also finished my term yesterday after a totally freaky week of exams, I'm leaving to my moms tomorrow so I decided to update today.
Chapter whatever: Regretful words.
Joey sighed as he checked the number for the third time, there was no doubt about it: that was the house, somehow he expected Anzu to live in a spacious house, not some sort of second rate apartment even if Meyli had told him so. The news of the fight had leaked out and it was on the first page of every newspaper, making it hard for him to come here but after a lot of detour he was able to finally lose the reporters who wanted an interview.
Joey walked up to the door and knocked, the least he could do was check out on Raven and Anzu, it was still his wedding after all, and he couldn't really expect Seto to come and apologize. Even if the CEO did change in the passed years, some things just didn't change, such as Seto being too prideful and his tendency to never admit it when he's wrong. When the door opened Joey mentally cringed at the rather large bruise on Raven's face, he had a few clear memories of just how hard Seto could punch.
"What do you want?" Raven asked, not quite cheerfully.
Joey just waved away Raven's rudeness; after all, he would be mad too had he been in Raven's place. "I just wanted to check on you, after what happened yesterday…"
"Shouldn't Kaiba be the one to do that?" Raven asked, still rudely.
"That would be wishful thinking." Joey admitted.
Raven snorted. "Of course, the almighty Seto Kaiba thinks himself above everyone else."
"He has reasons to act that way." Joey said, clearing showing that he wouldn't say more. "Is Anzu here? I know he had to work this morning but Meyli told me she should be back by now."
"She's resting, she didn't sleep that much yesterday and she couldn't take the day off so she's really tired. It would be best not to disturb her, she has a representation tomorrow evening and she needs the rest." Raven said sternly.
'…Alright, when she'll be up, could you tell her to call me? I'd like to have a work with her. Joey asked.
"Alright, have a nice day." Raven said, closing the door before Joey even had the time to say something.
Joey sighed and decided to leave, things could have been worst, at least he wasn't the one who had to go talk with Seto, somehow he really felt pity for Yugi, each time there was an issue with the CEO he was always the one who had to deal with him.

"So, how did it go?" Tristan asked when Joey entered the game shop.
"Good I guess, Raven didn't look really happy but I can't really blame him." Joey answered.
"What about Anzu?" The younger Kaiba asked.
Joey shrugged. "She was resting so I didn't get to talk to her. What about you?" He asked Yugi. "Had any luck with our favorite CEO?"
"…Well…"
Flashback: 1 hour ago.
"You really hurt her you know." Yugi said, doing his best to follow Seto in the hallway of Kaiba corp.
The CEO barely acknowledged him and didn't make any effort to slow his rapid pace. "Fighting and insult are make to hurt people you know."
"I know, but don't you think telling her that she should have gone back to your uncle's was a little overboard? And during her wedding no less." Yugi said.
"That's your opinion, you have no idea just how much trouble she caused me while she stayed with me and even after all that the only thing she can do is blaming me."
"You started a fight with Raven during her wedding; do you expect her to be happy about that?" Yugi said.
"That freak is lucky Joey stopped me because he deserved way more than that, but according to his wife it's I did it to satisfy my pride and I'm just and egoistical bastard, well I'm going to show her just how much of a bastard I can be. And I meant every word that I said yesterday, she wasn't worth the trouble. Now get lost, I have work to do."
End flashback.
Joey sighed, this was going to be even harder than he thought. But there wasn't much he could do for now, the plane was leaving in two hours, by the time they got back things would have probably calmed down.
"I guess there's nothing to do but wait until they calm down a little and admit their mistake, maybe things will calm down when you two will come back." Mokuba said.
"Are you saying Meyli is partly responsible for this? It's Seto who started everything in case you forgot." Joey said.
"Maybe he did hit Raven first, but for 'trying' to pick fights with my brother at least a hundred times you should know he doesn't get involve easily, Raven probably provoked him. And from what I remember and heard Meyli refused to let him explained and put all the blame on him. Since they were both still mad about what happened the argument grew bigger." Mokuba answered, still not raising his head from the table.
"But Raven is a nice guy, there's no reason for him to pick a fight with Seto, Seto however never hid his hostility toward him, he was often the first one to pick fight with me even if he never hit first, what makes you think he didn't do the same but lost his temper." Joey said.
"Whatever happened is between Raven and Seto, he's probably angry enough against himself as it is and he doesn't need us to starting taking side. Remember that Seto only recently learned to trust us and that this trust is still really frail, don't jump to conclusion too quickly Joey, you may cause him to turn his back on us for good." Yugi said.
"Well I don't know about you but speaking for myself, I think Raven is more trustworthy, he never has been anything but nice to us, unlike Seto." Joey said and Tristan nodded.
"Is that so?"
All three of them turned around at the sudden voice but they recognized it before seeing the owner of the voice: Seto Kaiba. "Seto, what are you doing here? I thought you were working." Joey said not so subtlety, pretending that nothing was said before.
"If you really want to know mutt, I came here to get Mokuba." He motioned to Mokuba who was sleeping across the small coffee table. "Don't worry, I won't impose my presence any longer than necessarily." He went next to his brother and gently woke him up, the still suffering kid barely noticed when Seto forced him to get up and followed him without saying anything, all he wanted right now was to put his head on a pillow and die, his head was killing him, had he known what just happened he would have whished he didn't send a message to his brother asking him to take him home.
"Idiots." Yugi whispered to his two friends with a glare before running after Seto. "Seto wait."
"What do you want?" Seto asked after putting Mokuba in the car.
"Listen, they-"
"What? Didn't mean it? On top of everything, don't take me for an idiot." He turned around and for the first time in a long time Yugi saw hurt in his eyes. "I agreed to play your little game and to trust you, I got exactly what I knew I would get: a knife in the back. However, I guess I should thank you for it, at least now I'm sure that the path I had chosen all those years ago was the right one."
Once car drove away Yugi sighed and walked back to where Joey and Tristan were still sitting. "I hope your happy now?"
"We didn't mean for him to hear that." Joey said.
"That's not the point, it doesn't matter that he heard you or not, what would it had changed that he didn't? He trusted you, he even helped you out more than one time after you made stupid things, but you apparently don't trust him and you'd rather blindly believe a guy you barely know."
"I'm sorry." Joey said.
"I don't think you owe me an apology."
