I hate school, everything I learn there is so useless, especially in math, it's motivating when the teacher tells you : 'Everything you will learn here will never be of any use to you, in fact, the exercises we do are arranged to work, in reality, it never works.' And seriously, what is the point of doing one full page of calculus to find out after how much time a pot full of water with a hole in it will be empty, it will probably be empty before you finish your calculus so any intelligent person would just take out his watch and look at the time (actually a more intelligent person would not use a pot with a hole to carry water).

Chapter….(why do I keep forgetting what chapter I'm at?): Time does not always make things better

Meyli sighed in a mix of relief and apprehension as she got off the plane in Domino airport, the two weeks of vacation she had with her new husband had been like a dream but now was the time to get back to their life, during their honeymoon it had seemed to her that nothing wrong had happened before she left with Joey, but now that she was back it felt like everything was coming back all at once. By everything she mostly meant the fight she had with her brother, se hopped that her brother had the time to calm down as she did, now that she thought about it, it was really stupid of her to act like that, as if her brother had actually planned to pick a fight with someone just to annoy her, she knew her brother was short tempered but he never got into serious fights easily, he wasn't a violent person, but he had a tongue so sharp that it could cut through anything.

In any case, she was back and glad to be, vacations are nice but it's getting long after a while and seriously she was starting to feel more tired lately. Looking around, she quickly spotted Mokuba waiting for them a little way off, next to the luggage convoy, she wasn't expecting him to come personally since she had called a limo before getting on the plane and it was kind of unusual for your seventeen years old brother to come and pick you up after your honeymoon. Nonetheless she was happy to see a familiar face and to be able to get some news about everyone else. He finally noticed her and waved her way, she smiled and went his way, mentioning to Joey to follow.

"Hey! How is my favourite sister doing?" Mokuba said with a large smile and extended his arms.

Meyli smiled back and hugged him gently. "One day you'll have to present me that other sister you keep mentioning."

"Who said there was only one? With all the girlfriends I had I must have at least 200 sisters in the city….and I even think I went out with some of them…ewww." Some things never change Meyli thought, grinning lightly as Mokuba made one of those faces, as if he had did something absolutely disgusting, which might be the case depending on how religious or conservative one might be. "But you never answered my question, how are you?"

"I'm fine, vacations were great but it feels good to finally be home after a 10 hours flight. So, how are things around here?"

"Well…" Mokuba began anxiously. "You see…"

Meyli sighed. "Seto is still mad at me is he not?" Deception was evident in her voice even if she knew her older brother hardly came to forgiving people with time alone.

The younger Kaiba shrugged. "I haven't talk to him lately, or to anyone else for that matter, which tells me he's probably still mad at you but you might be happy to know that you are no longer the only one facing his almighty anger."

"What are you talking about? Did something that I'm not aware of happened?" Meyli asked. However, Joey arrived with their stuff he had just retrieved before Mokuba could give her any explanation on exactly what was going on.

"Hi Joey." Mokuba said, his barely apparent happiness to see his new brother-in-law sounded extremely fake to Meyli's trained ears, which only made her more suspicious that something was definitely wrong and that her husband was hiding it from her. Joey's greeting wasn't much convincing either, except to make her more certain that something had happened. All she could do right now was looking back and forth between her brother and husband as they walked toward the exit and try to understand what could have gone between them.

"So, what brings you here?" Joey asked, making an attempt at a 'friendly' conversation.

"I've been designated as your personal driver to take you home." Mokuba explained with a proud childish smile.

"Don't you guys have like 10 limos and drivers for those kind of things?" Joey asked, sensing there was probably something fishy about this.

Mokuba laughed nervously. "Yea well, you see, I just…thought if would be better if it was someone you knew who came to pick you up. It's better than one of the drivers and as a bonus you get free updates on everything that happened while you were gone." Mokuba said, giving a small accusing look to Joey while Meyli wasn't looking. Of course he had forgotten to mention to them that his brother so inconveniently 'forgot' that they were coming back today and sent all the limos to the garage for a check up and gave vacations to all the drivers. Seto will kill me when he'll realise that I stole his car. Mokuba thought.

"I didn't know you had the right to drive already." Joey said, the only time he knows of when Mokuba actually drove the kid had almost killed himself.

"Still don't have the right to, but that's our little secret unless you want to walk home halfway across the city." Mokuba said, looking at his nails innocently.

When they reached the car Joey (and probably Meyli) mentally sighed with total relief when he saw Rebecca sitting on the drivers seat, reading a book. "That didn't take too long I hope?" Mokuba asked her as he sat beside her and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"I'm surprise, she didn't dump you yet." Joey stated.

When they arrived Joey took the luggage while Meyli and Mokuba stayed outside and Rebecca stayed in the car, reading her book again, Meyli wanted to have a few words alone with her brother so she was glad for it. "So, exactly what is going on here? It's not like you to be so cold, especially with Joey."

"Well, in all honesty I'm trying to stay neutral in this but it's kind of hard. You know that with Joey and Seto even a trivial thing can turn into an all out war." Mokuba let out a deep sight. "Just imagine how far an open declaration of war can take them."

"So they had a fight." Meyli said.

"I wish so, they spend most of their time arguing over nothing, it's nothing out of the ordinary for them, it's like a part of their relationship." Mokuba said.

"But then what happened?" Meyli asked.

"Joey was mad because of the wedding of course, and he blamed Seto for what happened, kinda like you did, he said that if he was given the choice he would trust Raven because, unlike Seto, he never did anything against him." Mokuba explained things as best as he could, most of it had been told to him by Yugi, at that time he had been asleep most of the time.

"And Seto heard him did he not?" Meyli said, quickly connecting the dots.

"Mokuba nodded. "So now Joey's mad at Seto because he knows he's wrong but does not want to apologize to him because he's still mad at him for what he told you, Yugi is mad at Joey for what he said, Seto is acting as if he was never friend with them and spent most of his time working and as for Tristan…well I have no idea about what is going on with him but I haven't seen him either."

"Joey didn't tell me he had a fight with Seto." Meyli said, more to herself than to Mokuba. "He looked and acted normally while we were away."

"I guess it's not something he is proud of, he probably didn't want you to get mad or to worry either, after all it was your honeymoon, I just hope he will go and apologize already, though I doubt that will make Seto change he's mind at this point."

Joey yawned and stretched slightly before sitting down on the couch next to Meyli, he passed his arm around her shoulder and gently tried to pull her closer to him. However, she didn't complied and stayed firmly in place. "Is something wrong?" He asked her worryingly.

"Why didn't you tell me that you had a fight with Seto?" She asked him after torturing Joey with her silence for a few seconds, turning her head to look at him.

Joey's eyes grew slightly wider. "How do you…" Then he let out a long sight as realisation hit him. "Mokuba told you." He simply stated.

"That's not important. How could you be so stupid? You know Seto is not much of a trusting person and you go saying in his back that you don't trust him." Meyli yelled at him.

"I didn't mean for him to hear that." Joey said in excuse.

"Because it would have been less awful if he hadn't heard you?" She said back.

"How can you take his side like that after what he told you?" Joey asked back.

"It's not a question of taking side, you're the one in the wrong here, what happened between Seto and me is between him and me, just because we had a fight it doesn't mean that you have to go and pick one with him too." Meyli raised her voice.

"What, so I can't go and tell him what I truly think of him but he can treat you like a whore all he wants? You want me to just stay there and watch as he insults you? I can't believe you are turning me down when all I'm doing is trying to protect you, you don't have to just go and endure his wild personality, you don't deserve this." Joey said.

"Joey please don't ask me to chose, no matter what he is still my brother and I can't lose him, I can't replace him." Meyli said more calmly.

"So you're saying that you can replace me? When you'll be tired you'll just get someone else is that it?"

"I never said that-"

"It sounded a lot like that to me. It's not your problem if your brother is always double minded and prefers to live alone in his hole, just let him be that's what he wants anyway." Joey said.

"Of course it's no problem for you that I stop seeing my family because of a stupid fight, maybe I should just forget about my brother and live my life as if he never existed, just like you did with your sister, oh sorry, your EX sister. And what about me? Will you ditch me if I oppose you, or better yet, maybe you'll throw our kid outside of the house if he causes trouble?" Meyli yelled back.

"Meyli, don't be ridiculous, you know I'll never-"

"Oh really, and how am I supposed to trust you? How can I be expected to trust that you'll stay with me when you cut all communication with your only relative and you are asking me to do the same?" Meyli shouted as she grabbed her things.

"Where do you think you're going like that?" Joey asked.

"I'm going to sleep at Anzu's house if you really want to know." She slammed the door before he could add anything.

Joey wanted to follow her, but he thought it would be better to just let her go, he was mad, she was mad so it would most likely only made things worst, beside he knew he had been a total jerk and that it would take more than a simple I'm sorry to make up for his stupidity.

Yay done (now I can finally go to sleep) so lets see, I decided to write a chapter around nine…it's 11:30, 2h30 to write it, that's not bad, and yes I do write a single chapter in about three hours (gee in school you get three hours to write a 800 words text, correct it, and write the final writing, considering the computer does much of the correcting and that I have barely no grammar notion in English, correction is easy so yea, I do my chapters in about three or so hours loll.)

Anyway, don't forget to leave a review, I'm trying to come back as an active writer so encourage me a little bit if you don't want to wait 6 months for the next chapter…incredible how nothing much happened in that chapter loll, well, I promise the next one will be way more interesting, I got quite a few ideas, and it should be somewhat funny to. But right now, I'm going to bed.

More (should I call it like that) romance should be seen in about two chapters.
