Joey's POV

The 6 or 7 cars parked by the hanger were absolutely gorgeous cars. They ranged from BMWs to Lamborghini and there was even a Skyline.

"These are junk?"

"Yep. Been here longer than a month. After that long they're junk to me. They get sold to the Americans for a reduced price."

You stared at them and couldn't believe what you had just heard.

"Come on Joey. If you like those, you're gonna freak when you see what he's got underground."

Miya took your hand and led you into a clear glass elevator. Sam pushed a few buttons and it began moving down.

From wall to wall were hundreds of brand new, mint condition cars. There was just about every style you could have ever imagined.

"Holy…"

"Pretty aren't they?"

"Alright you two, follow me. After Miya chooses her car, you and I Joey will be taking a tour."

Sam slid open an underground hanger door, as he took a step in the lights flickered on brightly.

Inside were 3 silver amazing, beautiful cars.

"Okay, choice one: BMW Roadster. Two: an Aston Martin One-77. Third is the Mazerati Gran Cabrio. They're all 2012 models."

You couldn't believe your eyes. These were cars that weren't going to be released to the public for the next two years.

"They all come standard bullet proof."

"Dang Sam. I'm not working for Lex anymore. I don't think I'll be needing bullet proof."

"Nonsense. I will only have the best for the daughter I never had."

"Fine Sam. And I'll take…the Gran Cabrio."

"Good choice. Now, I'll be stealing Joey for a while. You go have fun in the customs bay."

Miya's POV

You got into the car and waved bye to Joey as he and Sam left the hanger. You revved up the engine and drove it into the customs bay. Sitting down at the high tech computer you began making your hundreds of selections.

When you were finally finished, you had a car that could get to speeds of 250 in 9.8 seconds. It got close to 90 miles per gallon of gas. You changed the paint from a silver to a jet black. You had an electric blue side detailing that matched the blue accents on the inside of the car. The entire interior was black leather. On the chrome hubcaps, you had engraved a small dragon onto each.

It was one of the most high tech cars you had ever had. The super computer inside was good enough to hack into any system without being detected. Your baby could put Bond's car shame and make it look like a wreck.

When you stepped out from behind the computer and did a quick scan over, Sam and Joey walked into the bay.

"Ah Miya, you're finished. Perfect timing. And by Jove, it's the most beautiful designs I think I've ever stood in awe, speechless. His eyes were glued to it like it was his Messiah.

"Don't stare Joseph. It's rude. Besides, you should be staring at the beautiful lady who designed her. Now Miya, here is an extra set of keys. You be safe and for heaven's sake…Call me."

You hugged Sam tightly and nudged Joey.

"Come on, we'd better start heading back. Thanks a million Sam."

"Uh… Sure." He quickly got in and after examining all of the interior, finally began to settle down.

"I hope you know that everyone in my neighborhood is gonna freak out when they see this car right?"

"Yeah. Hence the reason I installed a full alarm and amour system. It's got driver recognition, and a full titanium frame and body."

"Wow…I think I just fell in love."

"With my car?" you asked revving up the engine. You loved getting those 8000 horses running good and hot.

"No…I love it when a woman talks car." he said laughing.

"You're such a dork Joey."

Since most of the roads back to Domino were open highway, you could go full throttle and go 200 all the way back. You arrived in Domino at 7:30 exactly.

"Told ya we'd be back by 7:30." you said locking and arming your car.

"Huh, Duke's still here. Guess he'll get to meet his admiring reporter after all."

"Hah I guess so."

You followed Joey into the house. Serenity and Duke were sitting on couch watching a movie. When Serenity saw you she squealed.

"Joey! Miya! Welcome home!"

"Hey Seren."

"Hey Serenity."

"Where did you two go?" she said raising an eyebrow.

"We had to go pick up my new car."

"Awesome! Can I go see it?"

Duke turned to face you and Joey in the entry way.

"Hey, do I know you from somewhere?"

You smiled and spoke in the accent you used the other night.

"Oh my Mr. Devlin…You're so handsome. Can I hold your dice?"

"You were the reporter, but you were blonde?"

"It was a dare Duke. She was wearing a blonde wig."

"Yeah, plus I do sit next to you in first block."

Joey's POV

"Yeah I figured it was a trick. The newspaper never sends good looking reporters to me."

You busted up laughing at the disappointed look on Duke's face. He stood up and put an arm around Miya.

"But if you're really into my line of work, I've got a job opening. You would make a great personal assistant."

"Keep your hands off her Duke."

"Wow Joey. Protective much?"

"Uh Serenity, is Aaron here?"

"Oh forgot to tell you. He said he was going over to Mokuba's."

"Hm, well I'd better go get him before Kaiba gets home."

"You know Kaiba for real?" Duke asked crossing his arms.

Miya's POV

"Yeah sorta. Our brothers go to school together."

"Cool I guess. He's kinda a jerk though."

"Well I'd better go get him really quick. Be back in a few."

"I'll go with."

"No Joey, you'd better stay here."

"Can I go?" asked Serenity.

"Sure. You boys have fun."

You waited for Serenity to get her shoes on and then you both walked down to your car.

"Wow, where did you an awesome car like this?"

"A friend of mine runs a dealership and got me a really good price."

"Sweet."

You unlocked the car and got in.

"You're gonna wanna buckle in tight. I've got a lead foot." When she was buckled in, you tore off down the street and toward Kaiba Manor.

When you got down the road from the Manor, you called Aaron.

"Hello?"

"Hey kiddo, you ready?"

"I can be. You on your way?"

"Yep. Be there soon. And don't be looking for Jamie's car."

"Why are you walking?"

"You'll just have to wait and see."

"Alright, see ya soon!"

He hung up and then you dialed Kaiba's cell phone. With your number blocked of course.

"Kaiba."

"Hey Kaiba, It's Miya."

"I know."

"Was just letting you know that I'm on my way to pick up Aaron."

"I'll have Veronica let you in."

"Thanks."

You hung up quickly before he could either retort or say something else.

"So, how are you and Kaiba doing? Civil I hope?"

"Yeah I suppose so. It's mainly just so the boys can still see each other. They've grown attached to each other."

"That's good. They need friends. I feel bad for Mokuba, he has so much pressure on him. And I kinda feel the same for Kaiba, even though he is jerk."

You agreed with her. Both boys did have a lot of pressure on them. You remembered Kaiba telling you about his past with his step father and how he came to own KC. You really did feel sorry for him even though he had broken your heart.

Seto's POV

You were about to say something to her, but then you heard a dial tone. You sighed and hung up your phone.

"Veronica."

"Yes?"

"When Miya gets here, let her in."

"Which gate?"

"Probably the main one. Non-auto."

"I was going to ask…where is her car?"

"She…left it at Kaiba Corp."

You felt another wave of pain rush through your chest. Now it wasn't only pain, it was with fever like heat. Since you hadn't been feeling well for the past few days, Mokuba had even called in the Manor doctor. As if they could hear your thoughts, the boys came bursting through the door.

"Wow Seto…you look really bad."

"He's right bro. You should have the doctor check you out."

"I'm fine you two."

"You don't look fine to me Kaiba. They're right."

You looked up from your desk. Miya was standing in your door way. Although she was simply dressed, she was as beautiful as ever and had a certain glow to her. You felt the pain melt away and you wanted to hold her tight. Remembering the photo, you shoved the thought from your mind.

"Oh hey, you got here quick!" Aaron said with an odd tone.

"Yeah, I got a new car."

"Really, can we go see?" Mokuba said in a near shout, making your head pound.

"If it's alright with Kaiba, sure."

"Yeah, go ahead."

He and Aaron ran out of the room and you were thankful for the silence.

"Hope you know, Mokuba's worried to death about you."

"I know he is. But it's really nothing."

"I would have to disagree. You're paler than snow and you…you're sweating just sitting there."

She came over the desk and placed the back of her hand against your forehead, then quickly removing it.

"My god Kaiba, you're burning up. You do need to see a doctor."

"Miya, I'm fine. It'll pass in a day or two."

"If you say so. But…um you can call me…if you need anything. Even if its to get Mokuba out for a while."

"I'm sure Mokuba would enjoy that."

"Well I should go down and check on the boys."

"I'll go make sure that Mokuba doesn't try and run off with you guys."

"Heh yeah."

She smiled and walked with you down to the front. You were expecting to see how run down used car parked outside. Instead there was a mint condition 2011 Mazerati Gran Cabrio. It was a jet black with bright blue detailing.

"So, what cha' think?"

"Where the hell did…"

Miya's POV

Kaiba paused then began to cough violently. You looked away for a moment, keeping yourself from wanting to run to him. His coughing stopped and you turned to look back at him. He was pale and had collapsed down on one knee.

You rushed to his side and held him up, leaning on you.

"Mokuba, go get the doctor. Now."

FF 2 hours

Miya's POV Cont.

You sat silently at Seto's bedside. You were smacking yourself mentally for not realizing that his symptoms pointed directly to some serious lung or respiratory infection. His fever had gotten so high that he had passed out, and he still hadn't woken back up.

Every 15 minutes, the doctor would come in and replace the ice packs with fresh ones. Seto was laying in bed, uncovered in just shorts. He had at least 8 ice packs placed all over his body to try and bring down his temp.

"Anything yet Ms. Suro?"

"Not yet doc. Just his occasional wheezing."

The doctor sighed and wrote down a few notes on his clipboard.

"That boy just doesn't know when to stop. Too much stress, especially in his line of work…it can kill."

You nodded. Even though he had broke your heart and tore your footing out from under you, you still wanted to be by his side. You sat there, staring at his face. There was once a smile on that face, a smile meant just for you. You didn't realize you were hold his hand until he twitched in his sleep. You quickly let go and pulled your hand back.

You wished you could have stayed there until he woke up. You wanted to make sure he was well, but you knew he wouldn't want to see you.

"Miya?"

"Yeah Mokuba?"

"How's he doing?"

"Not sure really. At least his fever's gone down a bit."

"Miya, can you stay here until he gets better?"

"I would but you know he doesn't want me here."

Mokuba took your hand, staring down at his weakened brother.

"He does. He just doesn't want to admit it, even to himself."

"What do you mean?"

Mokuba was about to answer when your phone started ringing. You grabbed it and went out into the hallway.

"Hello?"

"Hey Miya, is everything going alright?"

"Yeah Joey. I'm heading home now. See ya in a bit."

You hung up and went back into Seto's room.

"Hey how bout this Mokuba. I'll come over every day after school and stay for a few hours Kay?"

"Alright, that way I won't be alone."

"Hm actually. How about Aaron stays here with you. Just call me if you need anything?"

"Okay. Thanks a lot Miya. You really are like a sister to me."

"You're too sweet Mokuba. You're just like a little brother. Another black hole of a brat." you said hugging him.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

You walked downstairs to the living room where Aaron and Serenity were playing some martial arts video game.

"Hey Aaron, since I don't want Mokuba to be alone, would you mind staying here? I'll come by every day after school."

"Sure, you know I wouldn't have a problem with that."

"Alright kiddo. You ready to go Serenity? Sorry if the boy bored you to death."

"No it's fine. I know Mokuba's worried."

It was now close to 9, and you were kinda tired. Serenity was too from the looks of it. You hugged Aaron and kissed him on the forehead.

"You call me if anything happens okay? I'll see you tomorrow kiddo."

You and Serenity walked back out to your car and got in. You stared at your steering wheel for a moment before turning the key and revving the engine. You waited for Veronica to open the gate for you, then tore off toward home.

Joey's POV

You and Duke were sitting in the living room, Mom was in the kitchen.

"Do you know when Miya and your sister are going to be back? I don't want their dinners getting too cold."

"I'm not sure Mom. They just went to Kaiba's to get Aaron, don't know what's taking them so long."

Just then, the front door opened, Miya and Serenity stepped inside. Miya looked like she'd just been threw some mental hell.

"Hey guys, you hungry?"

"Oh yeah Mom. What'd you make?"

"Spaghetti with meat sauce."

"That sounds awesome."

"How bout you Miya? Hungry?"

"No, I'm fine thanks." she said shaking her head and removing her shoes. "I'm actually gonna head to bed. I'm dead tired."

"Oh okay. Sleep well dear."

You got up off the couch and followed Miya down the hallway.

"Hey you, what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing, like I said; just really tired."

"Why do I feel like that's not it?"

"I'm just worried."

"About?"

"I'm not really sure. It's a combination of Mokuba, Kaiba, what Kisara and Atem meant…"

"Why are you worried about Kaiba?"

"He's got some respiratory infection, and its really bad. Mainly worried about him for Mokuba's sake. If something happens to him, Mokuba's got no one. It just kinda reminds me a bit of my past."

"Oh, yeah I would be worried than too. And hey, whatever they meant, we'll handle it together okay? I'll always be here for you."

You saw a smile play on her lips and you pulled her close. Her body seemed to relax and her arms wrapped themselves around you.

Miya's POV

Being in Joey's arm made all your worry just melt away. You could have stayed that way forever, except your eyes were getting heavy and you were about to pass out.

"Really Joey, I'm gonna pass out if I stay out here any longer."

"Oh fine, I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night Joey."

You tilted your head up and pressed your lips against his. You broke it quickly, smiled and went into you and Serenity's bedroom. You got into your pajamas and crawled into bed. You stared up at the top bunk, but you were far from being in this room.
