"KAIBA!" Jounouchi screamed backing away so fast he flipped backwards off the hospital bed. He blonde sat dumbfounded for only a moment before realizing his arm was gushing blood. "What the fuck did you do to me?!" Jou screamed as Seto hit the buzzer for the nurses to come in. He hit it twice to signal an emergency before he grabbed the blanket that had only moments ago provided warmth for the blonde. Seto held the blanket down firmly, causing pain to the blonde, efficiently having him thrash around more to escape the seemingly evil brunette. Kaiba looks up at the nurses "He saw me and flipped, I think he tore the vein the intravenous was in" He informed them as he held the flailing boy for the nurses to examine. It turned out that Kaiba was correct and that there was a rather serious tear in the Ulnar(1). The nurses put Jou under a general(2) and moved him to the operation theater to stitch up his wrist efficiently enough that somebody would actually cut the string to reopen the wound. The intravenous was plugged into his opposite arm and he was strapped to the bed with thick leather cuffs.

As Jou awoke for the second time, yet again with Kaiba by his side and found he couldn't move, he broke down into tears. "Why can't you people just leave me alone? What did I do wrong?" Seto felt a pang of guilt as he reached out and Jounouchi flinched away, whimpering. "Shhh..." Seto reached further and gently caressed his cheek. Just as Jou was almost calm, an FBI agent knocked and walked into the room "Jounouchi Katsuya?" Jou looked up and the gruff, bulky man sighed, sometimes he really hated this job. "I am sorry to inform you that your father, Jounouchi Katashi was a victim of a suspected gang attack and is now deceased, as far as we are aware he wasn't an intended target, just unlucky. I am truly sorry for your loss." The man stood and left only moments before Katsuya broke down into tears again. Despite what the man had done, and how he'd been treating him, Jou still loved his father dearly. Jou let out a wail of pure anguish and allowed himself to fall slack. This wan all his fault, If he'd gotten better fasted, he could have protected his father. Seto sighed "Is there anything you need?" He paused a moment before adding "Or anyone you need to see?" Jou nodded and sobbed "Shizuka" "Who?" Seto asked "My lil' sista." I went Silent for a moment, the mutt had a sister? "I'll do my best"

Seto POV

He'd passed out again after another 20 minutes of grief filled wailing that could make the biggest bully cry. I wiped away the stray tears and kissed the seemingly unconscious Jou only to have him flinch away. "What tha fuck Kaiba!?" he screamed. "Shh... I love you Katsuya, I'm going to find your sister now." He nodded and lay down again. "I love ya too moneybags" I smiled. Even if he was doped up, he'd still said it again. He'd said he loved me twelve months ago, and now he'd said it again. Now, to find his sister.
