W.I.P.


I do not own yu-gi-oh or any of the characters I am simply doing this to drive them crazy.^^




with all my might.

Joey wheeler could be seen running down a dark ally that lead to his sorry excuse of a home.
"s**t please be asleep!" he was running late because he was having to much fun at yugi's house.
(I was going to say it was tea's birth day but, no one cares about her and she doesn't disserve the right of birth.)
well anyways as he turned the corner to go up the fire escape to get to his room he was prevented that for he
was clubbed in the head with a blunt object, and all went black.


Tristan Taylor a close friend of Joey’s hadn't heard from him since the party three days ago.
Hirotama (some random guy I made) ran up to him. "hey man did you hear what happened to Joey!?"
tristan wondered what the guy meant? usually he would be the first to know what happed to Joey.
but not in this case.
"no, why what happened?"
"What how do you not know? your like his best friend, but then again you probably weren’t there."
tristan was usually patient I mean you kind of have to be to deal with Joey.
"DUDE SHUT UP AND TELL ME WHAT HAPPEND!!!!"
the whole class turned to him surprised by his outburst.
"well the police are looking for Joey he's gone missing...someone said they saw him get clubbed bye this muscle head
then shoved into his car." the boy almost sacred by tristan now.
tristan was just about to turn when he was stopped by the teacher.
"mr.sawamura you have to let me go Joey’s been kidnapped I can't-"
"I know Mr. Taylor please have a seat."
every one even the very reluctant tristan took their seats.
"tristan is it true, did Joey really get kidnapped?" Yugi whispered to him.
"yeah, maybe but-"
"now class I know that there have been many rumors about Mr. wheeler’s sudden disappearance but his father has yet to
file a police report so until then mr.joey wheeler is M.I.A."
Yugi and tristan were powerless to do anything, they figure they will go to his house and see if he's there.
if not tristan will be damned if he will leave that house with out a fight.
*LUNCH*
Yugi and Tristan went to join there friends and inform them of their recent news of joey's dissapearance.
"What! what do you mean he was kidnapped!?" Ryou exclaimed.
"well what the hell do you plan to do little pharaoh copy." say Ryou's look alike Bakura.
"BAKURA watch it, we'll think of something to look for Joey maybe we could have Kaiba help us he has-"
Atem stopped talking when he saw the looks he was getting.
"What!? I think he would be helpful in-"
"We are NOT going to ask Kaiba for help, especially to look for Joey." Duke interrupted the ex-pharaoh.
Duke Devlin not only was jelouse of Kaiba for the millions he company brings in but for the fact that he know
the CEO has quite the 'CRUSH' on our little friend, as well as he but everyone knows that except for Joey himself
he's kind of clueless to that.

*flashback*


It was a party for all business associates in domino(we're just gonna pretend that domino is a real city in Japan.)
all the big and powerful CEO's of various businesses around the city Kaiba corp. throws these parties every year to
establish new 'business friends'
Duke was invited almost the other group of middle aged or elderly men there.
spotting Kaiba he walked over to him for some heated conversation as all the conversations with Kaiba entail.
"well this is quite the party Kaiba I didn't know you were such a party animal." duke sniggers.
"well well well, if it isn't Mr. I’m in love with a mutt. were is he have you managed to have date with him or does
he just think your 'hanging out'." says Kaiba.
well that was mean.
Seto Kaiba stares at the man now red with either embarrassment or anger which ever one works.
"I’ll let you in on a little secret wheeler is a little slow to understand when someone is hitting on him you can't
play coy he won't get it, but your really good at doing that and he's just to damn innocent to understand what a
sex drive is he needs to be dominated and taken and that is just what I plan to do. so do your self a favor and
find some other eye candy Joey wheeler is mine." with that said he takes his leave.
Duke stands there with his mouth wide open a fly could fly in and out and he would never know.

*end flash back*

ever since that night Duke has 'HATED' Kaiba and is extremely jealous.
he sit there with a scowl on his face, every one looks at him with weird faces, except tea she just has an ugly face.

*AFTER SCHOOL*

The Yugi-tachi head to his place.....it's the only place stock full with snakes and such and well it's not the Yugi-tachi for
nothing. Mr. motou brought out some drinks and snacks for the troubled teens.
"don't worry I’m sure where ever he is I’m sure he's taking good care of himself."
mr.motou said trying to comfort them. "yeah I believe he will, but still why would some one kidnap him?" Ryou said.
"I can think of a few people who would want to just for revenge......that hirutani b*****d, he hates Joey." tristan states.
"but I thought he was in prison....?" says Atem.
"what about bandit Keith!? or some Waco trying to take over the world again, they could have kidnapped him to get to Yugi and Atem." says tea.
"I don't think that’s it." Yugi sighs. *stupid broad.* thinks Yugi. (ha-ha!!!)
just then the phone rang in the other room Mr. Motou went to go answer I like he usually does.
"well what are we going to do, we can just sit here and do nothing!"
"I know tristan but there is nothing-" Atem was interrupted by Yugi's grandpa yelling in to the room.
"YUUUUGIIIII!!!! YOUR FRIEND IS ON THE PHONE!!!"
every one was jarred by Mr. Motou's out burst Yugi who was used to it just stood and walked to get the phone.
Maybe it was Joey, he could only hope.

"Moshi moshi..."

"don't 'moshi moshi' me I have information about wheeler that you might want to know."

"Kaiba? is that you?"

"...No its Santa Claus, of coarse it's me and I think I can help you with this little search of yours."

"But I thought you hated Joey why do you want to help?"

"because I CAN Yugi that’s why. now do you want my help or not!? I don't have time to waist being on the phone with you!"

"but you called me."

"....………..Yugi, just shut up and say yes."

"yes."

*click*

".............hello?"

Yugi walked back to his friends who were all staring at him wondering if it was Joey on the phone or
the person who took him. "It was Kaiba, he said he was going to help look for Joey."
"WHAT!?"
Atem was I little disgruntled. why would 'The Seto Kaiba' want to help look for Joey.
Bakura was laughing his head off at the expression the ex-pharaoh wore. tristan and duke were I little put of by this
There was this feeling that tristan felt when I would watch Duke hit on Joey or when Kaiba would get into fights with him.
He always felt angry and protective this would happen he just figured that it was because he was his best friend,
what was the poor guy do. the truth was tristan was jealous of duke and Kaiba they had money, looks, brains.....well at least Kaiba had the brains. but never the less he couldn't compete with them.
But then again he was Joey's best friend he had the advantage of heart and Joey was all about heart.

*the next day*
the Yugi-tachi headed to Kaiba corp.
they may as well they had no other leads and the police wouldn't believe them about Joey.
As they entered Kaiba Corp they were greeted by the head receptionist.
"oh you must be 'the Yugi-tachi, Mr. Kaiba is waiting for you."
"the Yugi-tachi????" they all said.
they took the elevator up to the 30th floor. where a small yet extravagant lobby waited. an ivory color adorned the walls and chairs that looked like they fit a king were placed in little spots all over giving any one who sat and wait enough room to relax before meeting with the CEO of a prestigious gaming company.
Kaiba's secretary looked up to see the six boys standing with a look of amazement...and tea the tramp.
"Mr. Kaiba the group of boy you said were coming are here, would you like me to send them in now..." she said into the speaker on her desk. there was a moments pause...
"No, tell them to wait I have a few things to do, then let them in."
inside of Kaiba's office he sat at his desk looking through the files he obtained about Joey. (that was fast)
"what is this! it's ridiculous how on earth..."
she stood straight and turned her hand to the awesome chairs they saw earlier.
"damn Kaiba he tells us to come over and then has us wait!" tristan exclaimed. "would you like some water, tea, wine,
sparkling mineral water, warm or iced coffee...?" the woman spoke with a smile.
"WOW! we can all that!?!?" Yugi exclaimed.
"no, no you can't. send them in...*click*" rang Kaiba's voice over the intercom.
they pouted they really wanted that food....oh well.
they entered Kaiba's office.
it was just as impressive as the waiting room (well as impressive as business offices can get.)
to the left where a small couch sat behind that was a bar of sorts where there were drink in all variety of alcoholic and
non-alcoholic. as well a closet where Kaiba kept his back up clothes.
to the right was a shelf with different books and a few little figures that Mokuba must have put there., a bathroom, and
a few fichus....or is it fichuses.....(what?).....fake plants!!!!!
and finally in the middle of all that, there were deep blue satin curtains on the large windows just behind Kaiba’s desk,
that he was not in...????
"where's Kaiba?" asked Duke with a raised brow.
"how can he not be in here he just called us in.?"
said tristan.
"let's just grab his crap and run, we'll find wheeler else where!" yelled Bakura witch was responded by a muffled
"I don't think so." then Kaiba’s 'wall?' opened up and Kaiba walked out with a stack of paper in his hand.
"WHAT THE HELL! did you just come out of the wall!?"
Kaiba just stood and stared at them with a blank face.
"that's not important. what is important is that I found wheeler..."
Every one perked up at that, Atem quickly asked "Well where is he!?"
Kaiba went to sit at his desk, he sat in his office chair and put his hands to his head. "He's in Australia."
...........it was quiet for a minute Kaiba quickly pulled out ear plugs right before...
WHAT!?!?!!
"how, why would Joey be in Australia!?" exclaimed tea. who was just ignored.
"we have to go there, where ever this Australia place is and find him! he could get lost!" said Atem.
"well go right ahead, but tell me how do you plan to find him without me?" said Kaiba. "well we didn't but..." mumbled Atem.
"Come on Kaiba what happened to Joey why would they take him there!?"
Kaiba sighed and grabbed his ear plugs right before he put them in he said ".......he'sinabrothelwhyidon'tknowasofyet!"
all was silent.........still it was silent, Kaiba decided it was safe to take his ear plugs out and sat up straight.
"I only have room for three more on my privet jet....you will have to decide who goes."
every one was in shock they heard what Kaiba said about Joey but that's all they heard. Kaiba stood and waved his
hand in front of Yugi's face to get his attention.
after a second he snapped out of it, and quickly grabs Kaiba by the shirt collar,
(if you could see this picture you would laugh as you know Yugi is short and Kaiba is funkin' huge!!
so Kaiba stands up straight and Yugi kind of just hangs there.)
"take us to Joey now!" says Yugi with more force than his little body can make.
"you expect us to believe that!!! i bet you have him in your room as a sex slave, don't you!!!!!" exclaimed Duke.
"Duke, you're a special kind of stupid!" tristan yells from the back of the room.
"Right, well as I said I will take only three of you! and that's it. you will decide you shows up by going to the Kaiba Corp. air
port. if your not there by 10:00 am I will leave you!" Seto stated. returning to his paper work.
upon noticing they were still there he looked up at them. "you can go now."

*in Australia*
Joey woke to the sweet scent of women's perfume, and giggling. As he raised himself from the bed, he raised a hand to

the side of his head. It felt like he'd been hit with a mallet. Eyesight was fuzzy, and he blinked frequently to clear the haze.
"Whossat?" His Brooklyn accent murmured past his boyish lips.
"Oh, look girls. He's awake!"
A female voice exclaimed, and as his vision began to return, Joey could see the owner. And she was barely dressed.
A tall, lithe girl, whose long blond hair fell to nearly her hips. The golden curls washed over her naked back, a corset and garter belt hugging her skinny curves. Her face was painted brightly to match the ruby and sapphire colors of her
outfit, and her honey brown eyes were fixated on Joey.
Joey was convinced he was still dreaming, because she wasn't the only one. Four other girls, dressed similar to her, lined up anxiously behind her for a chance to look at him. (Only in his dreams has anything like this ever happened.)
"You feelin' alright?" The tall blond asked, leaning over the end of the bed he lay on. Only now did Joey notice the elaborate silk bed sheets, or the ruffled trim around the four-poster bed.
Still convinced he was dreaming, Joey's lips curled into a fox's grin.
"I could be feelin' a little better, if you know what I mean."
The blond simply returned the smile, and batted her large eyelashes.
"Oh, 'course I know what ya mean. Don' worry. I'm sure there'll be plenty of strappin' young men linin' up for a chance at you."
If you paid close attention to Joey's expression, you could almost hear the record scratch in his head.
"Wha-- Hey, I ain't like that!"
"Really? Because I heard from the Master that you was here for that purpose." Her accent was unlike those from behind
her. It had a streetwise feel, almost like Joey's own.
just then a large man burst through the doors. Joey was surprised he didn't knock them down in the process. His arms
were rippling with veins. So much, that they looked like stuffed sausages. The girls turned their attention from Joey to
this man, and gave a wave.
"Oh, Bruno. Must ya try an' break everythin' ya touch?" The blond shook a finger at him playfully, a mascara'd eye giving a wink.
"Charlie, boss says he wants to see the new guy", the over-muscled freak responded.
Joey gave a wince. He might not be the brightest bulb in the box, but he understood that he was the object of
conversation. And going with the Mister Universe reject was NOT a wanted option for Joey. But as he made to slip off the bed, he noticed for the first time, the fuzzy cuffs securing his wrists to the headboard. Damn those women. Scantilly
clad females were the perfect distraction. And he might not have minded if it
were just them. But the burly specimen of
testosterone made him uncomfortable.
"Sure thing, Bruno. He was jus' sayin' somethin' 'bout wantin' to feel better." She paused, and turned to Joey with a
wide, red-tinted smile.
"Don' worry, he'll fix ya up good."
Joey's eyes went wide as saucers. And he proceeded to flail against his restraints. But, to no avail, seeing as the muscle mass called Bruno lifted him with one hand by the scruff of the neck, plucked the cuffs off with two fingers, and
walked out of the room.

*Back at Kaiba's airlift.*
Kaiba sat back in his private jet 5 minutes left before he left the Yugi-tachi there in domino and go to save Joey himself.
It was like the damsel in distress factor, he saves Joey, Joey will pay Kaiba pay in one way or another knowing that Joey

always keeps his word and makes up old debts.
three minutes...then.
"Kaiba we're here!" Yugi, tristan and Tea ran through the door way.
"wait before we go I need to use the ladies room!" exclaimed Tea. "What the hell, just use the one in here!" Kaiba said

as he moved to sit in his seat in the back of the plain. (that way if it crashes Yugi and his friends will go first!)
"no I HAVE to use this one I’ll just be a second!" she said as she ran out.
Kaiba was already getting a head ache by just hearing her voice (that happens) "I say we leave her a**!" he said rubbing
his temple. "NO! I’m here!" 'she' said running through the door with a stack of luggage in 'her' hands.
"tea what happened to your voice?" Yugi asked.
"n-nothing I just have a sore throught!"
"humph wonder why..." said Kaiba
'she' then ran into the room on the jet. (why does he have a bedroom in his private jet?) with that said they left the airport towards Australia.
mine while, tea was tied up and gagged in the girls bathroom.

*back with Joey*
"LEMME' GO YA BIG PLOUKA!!!!" Joey was still flailing to get away from his captor. After wandering the hall by what it seemed Joey sort of got a clue where he was what with all the half naked girls around some dressed like kitty
cats and bunnies the only place he could be is....THE PLAY BOY MANSION!! (he doesn't know)
But what would Hugh Heffner want with a boy from Japan?........(what he can't know who owns the playboy mansion just cuz' he's

Japanese?
he watches enough porn to go blind anyways,dirty little Joey.)
Finally in what seemed like forever the two stopped in front of a large red wooden door.
once the door was opened Joey looked inside to see..."a baby kangaroo???" he asked. "Joey!" said a deep voice with a similar accent to mach every one else’s and the big guy holding him.
"wha yeah what you want?" he said,sence he assumed he was being talked to.
".....What? not you, what you got Kangaroos loose in the top paddock . a Joey is a baby kangaroo." said the voice who
now Joey could see was another big but not as big as the last guy. he wore a ripped up cowboy hat on his head and croc'
boots jeans and belts on his hips he also wore a ripped sleeve button up shirt that fit his figure fairly snug. he face rough
looking with a hint of smarts (lol) he wasn't that old looking and not ugly he was kind of hot,(but all the bad guys are
so...) with dark brown hair black eyes.
"who-who are ya huh? why'd ya kidnap me!!?" Joey demanded.
the man chuckled and nodded his head toward the door, the big guy still holding Joey took the hint and dropped Joey
he then made his way toward the door pointed out for him, but not before he locked the door.
'oh maaan there goes my escape.....maybe I can still jump out the window.' Joey thought he turned to see the other one
was still here and up in his face.
"so you responded to 'Joey' huh?" said the man. "I’m guessing, that's your name? funny, I never heard of a name like that,
but your more of a Bitzer than a Joey." the man chuckled.
"what's a Bitzer!?" Joey asked tilting his head cutely to the side.
"a mutt." the man stated.

*back with the Yugi-tachi...and Kaiba*
they finally arrived in Australia Kaiba stepped out of his plane and handed a small list of things to do to the person that
came out next, which was Tristan.
"what's this?" he asked
"It's a list of things to do, of coarse." Kaiba said. he's so snarky!
"WHAT THE HELL!!! we're not here to do your laundry Kaiba, we're here to find Joey! you said you were going to

help!" Tristan yelled, Yugi was trying his best to hold back his friend but could only prevent him from punching Kaiba in the face.
"I have to do something that will help you find him on your own. it has where he is on the back of the paper! now if
you would get out of my face I'll be on my merry way!" any smart rational person could tell when Seto Kaiba was fit to
kill......except for Tristan.
As Kaiba was walking away toward the one of the cars he had ordered, Tristan was trying to fight off Yugi and.....Duke!?
"W-what are YOU doing here!?" Yugi asked.
Duke blushed "he he well, you see. AHHHH!! I can't take I want to save Joey! I LOVE JOEY!!!" he yelled
Yugi stared at him wide eyed. Tristan looked at duke as if he grew two heads out of his neck. And as for Kaiba , it caused him to drop his list. Yes, his list.
Tristan felt his body go numb. Duke loved Joey? His Joey? For a moment, words eluded him. It was as if time itself had melted away. And then, the empty feeling was replaced with a new feeling; one of anger, and jealousy. How dare he assume Joey was open for the taking? When Joey was clearly his and his alone, just as it had been for years?
“So? You think that makes you special?”, Tristan grumbled haughtily.
His comment went unnoticed by the group.
Intuitive Yugi, however had an idea of how he managed to sneak on-board.
“You dressed as Tea? Really? Are we cross-dressing now?”
Duke Devlin turned another shade of red.
“It’s not my fault she’s so gullible. All I said was a hot guy wanted to meet her in the girl’s bathroom. In my defense, it was the truth.” He brushed a hand back through his hair, giving it that famous rock star appeal.
Kaiba rolled his eyes. So, Duke was in love with Joey Wheeler. Why should it bother him? In times like this, when Seto didn’t have the right answer, he pretended not to care.
“Look, just take the map. Go find the mutt. And let me know who has him. In the meantime, I’m going to check out my timeshare here.” The rich boy-wonder then stalked back to his jet, only after picking up the list and taking off into the bright blue sky of the Australian horizon.
Yugi watched him leave, and then asked yet another philosophical question:
“He couldn’t have called us a cab?”

*Meanwhile…*

Joey’s face was pressed into the carpet, nose inhaling the stuffy old fumes of cigars. Powerful hands were now on the back of his shoulders, belonging to the owner of the brothel.
“Oh God, I’m going to be raped.” Joey’s eyes closed tightly, his muscles tensing. A small whimper escaped his lips.
The hefty man breathed in his ear, and Joey felt a leather band close around his throat. His breath was hot, and smelled of alcohol. A scent that Joey would never forget.
“How darling, you even sound like a woman. Don’t worry - You belong to me now.”
A metal clasp was wrenched into place, and the boy heard the click of a lock. The hands eased off his shoulders, and Joey scrambled to his feet. Quickly, his hands flashed to his neck. Fingertips felt the thick leather, and the cold steel of a new padlock.
“What…? A collar? Like some kind’a --”
“Dog?”, the owner replied smugly.
Joey returned with a glare. He’d have this thing off in a second or two. Picking locks was no feat to him, thanks to his streetwise past. However, it was as if the stocky, sweaty man had read his mind.
“Oh, and the lock only opens with an electronic key. We have to keep track of our property somehow, after all.” The chair whined as the large man returned behind his desk and pressed a button, paging the intercom.
“Take him away.”

*Back with Kaiba*
Kaiba walked into the hotel room. Mokuba was already in there looking for a way to get to Joey, without drawing attention to Kaiba corp.
“Mokuba, did you find anything yet, Yugi’s smart and he’ll figure out that I’m leading them on a wild goose chase soon.”
Mokuba looked up from his laptop lifting his weird goggles he wore to seem cool.
“no, I mean, yeah I found him but it’s gonna be hard to get him out of there, apparently they use digital collars on their ‘workers’.”
Mokuba looked up at his brother concern written on his young adorable face.
“Seto? will Joey be alright?” he asked.
Seto pulled his younger brother in to a tight hug.
“I promise I’ll get him back safe and sound.” he said with gentle confidence.
Mokuba is the only one that has ever seen the usual mean, sarcastic, and sadistic CEO with this expression.
He stood up and gave his little brother a stern look. “you are not to leave this room, it’s dangerous out there, I don’t want anything happening to you.”
“oh, I had no intention of going do you have any idea how hot it is out there!?”
Obviously Kaiba didn’t hear what Mokuba said, grabbed his coat and walked out the room.
40 seconds later…Kaiba walks back in.
“It’s hot out there.” he said throwing his trench coat on a near by chair.
“told you soooooooo” Mokuba said looking inside the mini fridge (all the mini alcohol drinks where thrown away by the elder Kaiba.)
Kaiba scowled at his younger brother who was now trying the vegemite with peanut butter.(ew! But it looks like chocolate ) he then made a face of disgust, while his older brother was looking for a new outfit to wear, it was way to hot for a trench.
“here.” he heard. Looking down he saw Mokuba handing him a shopping bag with banana republic on the side and clothes in it.
“go try those on, I think you’ll like them. And if you don’t oh well at least you’ll be eye candy for the girls and maybe Joey too, I think he’ll like it.” he said.
Kaiba then grabbed the bag and began removing his clothes.
Mokuba looked away reading the info he got from their secret source. Thinking about who could have possibly taken Joey in the first place.
“How’s this?” Mokuba turned to look at his brother. Who was now dressed in cowboy boots, that went well with the dark blue jeans that fit him perfectly, then on to the shirt, a thin button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows the shirt was a simple dark and light blue check. And a stunna’ shades! To top it all off. “Well? How do I look?” he asked, his cheeks felt a little warmer to him.
“WOW!!! What an outfit change can do Joey will so be ALL over you like-like this stuff on bread!” Mokuba exclaimed pointing to the vegemite on the slice of bread just thrown to the side.

*With Tristan, Duke, Yugi…*
They had some how got to a city by the help of the car that Kaiba had rented for them.
“how are we supposed to find Joey here!?” Yugi asked looking around at all the people. Who were now giving them weird looks, It’s not every day you see a group of young Japanese boys wandering the streets of Darwin.
“*sigh* my poor Joey, where are you?” Duke said dreamy eyed.
Tristan just glared at him what the hell did he mean his Joey!? like hell Joey was his.
They arrived at the first place on the map…a bar.
“um…..why would Joey be here? This looks like a bar??” Yugi said
“Dammit I knew it Kaiba is just using us for his errand boys!” Tristan exclaimed, ripping up Kaiba’s list. That wasn’t smart. That was the only map they had and could read. “AHH! Tristan why’d you do that!?!?!?!” Yugi yelled!!!!!
“AAAHHHHH!!! Dammit why did I do that!?!?!? Damn Kaiba he pissed me off so much that I ripped up our only map!!!!”
“Well that was smart, maybe we could call Kaiba and see what to do maybe even write the map over again.” Duke explained wave his hands in a soothing manner. So they decided to go into the bar just to be sure that Joey really wasn’t in there. There were blonds and blondes but no Joey. They only sighed and turned to walk out, that’s when they were stopped by the bartender
“G‘day! Your not think’in of just com’in in with out get get’in a swig of some nice amber fluid?? Now right?”
They were stuck, when they tried to make a run for it the guard caught them and dragged them back in for a drink or two. In other words they were not leaving anytime soon.


*Mine while poor Joey was tuck in a bedroom, running around looking for a way out!!!*
“AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I hafta’ get out of ’ere!!! Before that guy decides he want some of my goodies!!!!” Joey exclaimed trying with all his might to pull open the door. He had been kicking a screaming for hours and no one has herd him. He was starting to give up. “why would any come, I’m stuck in’a whore house with a wanna be Hugh Heffner, in another country.” he sniffled. that’s when he herd the door open. He looked up to see who it was and crouched down in the corner he stood in. ready to fight with all his might he waited the person seemed to take there sweet time making themselves shown.
“who’s there! I’m ready I’ll kick yer a** from here to Timbuktu!!!” he yelled.
“wha- Wheeler!?” that’s when Joey realized he knew this person, the man to Joey’s rescue was no other than our favorite Australian. Valon walked into the room. “what are ya do’ in here mate I thought you lived in Japan!?” he asked.
He was then caught off guard by two arms throwing themselves around his neck. “THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!!*sob*” Joey yelled. Moment he saw Valon he started crying from relief truth be told he was scared. That man had already pinned him to the ground very easily once, he was sure he could do it again but then he might do more than put a collar on him.
“Oi mate calm down ya silly galah!” he exclaimed trying to calm the poor boy in his arms. Pulled Joey out of his embrace for a second.
“Joey, why are you in here? This ain’t the kinda place you should be in.” he asked grabbing Joey’s face to keep the boy looking at him.
“I-I don’t know, I woke in this place. That last thing I remember going home but that’s it.” he said tears starting to form in his eyes. He looked up a Valon and sniffed. Valon had never seen this side of Joey, he was cute and venerable and his lips looked so tasty. Slowly he leaned forward.
“Valon what are ya-” Joey was cut off by Valon’s lips on his, he was caught in a gentle yet fierce kiss. Joey did know what to do, didn’t Valon like Mai? Why was he kissing him? Valon pulled out of the kiss and just sat there staring at Joey.
Finally he said “Joey, let’s get you out of here.” pulling Joey toward the door they stood and left that horrible place together.


*now back to Kaiba*
Kaiba was driving all through Darwin. For all he knew Joey was here. But he didn’t know where he was. Does that make sense?
“….Joey, where are you?”


*with Joey.*
Valon had gotten him out of there with out setting off his collar. And were now at a restaurant. What he had eaten anything since he was kidnapped and he wouldn’t eat what they fed him. So he was mighty damn hungry!
So there he was scarfing down what looked like spaghetti and meat balls, BBQ ribs, Macaroni and cheese, and country fried steak and eggs with fries and corn on the cob.
“….Uh…..don’t you think you should slow down?” Valon was almost scared of Joey at this moment…he kept his hands away in case Joey would bite him. Would Joey even notice that he had bit him? Or would he just keep eating? A vision of him trying to stop Joey before he popped and have Joey just eat him whole came in to his mind. He shuddered the thought of Joey becoming a cannibal was not that far off.
“…..*shudder*….Joey, how come you’re here do your friends know you’re here?” he asked. Looking at him with the most sincerity he had.
Joey looked away blushing a little. “I honestly don’t know how I got here. I just woke up here in a room in there. I don’t know how long I’ve been here either. I don’t think Yug’ and dem’ think I’m here I got hit in the head by some big guy. By the way there seem to be a lot of big guys here!?” he looked up.

Valon gave Joey a sympathetic expression. He understood how long it must have been since Joey actually connected with anyone - especially since an hour was forever for him. A hand came to brush back the dark crimson strands from his face.
“Hey Wheeler, I got a proposition for you.”
Joey, with his face still half-stuffed with whatever was in his reach, replied:
“Mrff?”
“Be my mate. That way, I can bust you outta that nasty place and get you back to Domino, safe an’ sound.”
In between chews, Joey heard a revised version of the prospect that entailed only his freedom, and returning home. And that sounded good enough for him. With a hasty nod, he gulped and wiped the corners of his mouth with his wrist.
Valon cracked a grin, eyes glittering with an unspoken intent.
“Great. Until we get you a flight back home, you can come stay with me.”
“So, why are you bein’ so nice to me? I kinda thought you had a thing for Mai…”
The air was tense in the few moments before Valon reached across the table, and empty plates to graze Joey’s jaw with his forefinger. At the sensation, Joey felt his jaw lock, and palms become slick.
“You think too much.” he said leaning forward just a little.
His face was getting a little to close Joey decided, in a split second Joey reached over and grabbed a plate of Lemon chicken! (what kind restaurant is this!?) Lifting it up to cover his face as Valon’s face met the plate of sticky gooey lemony goodness. Yummy!
Joey looked over the plate with a shy look on his face. But when he saw Valon’s face covered in lemon sauce, he broke that shy look and started laughing like a maniac.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! YOU LOOK SO WEIRD!OMIGAWD!!!! YOUR FACE!!! IT’S SO FUNNY!HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” he howled. Valon just looked at him like he crazy, but then he smiled and laughed too.
“well should we go then?” he asked wiping his face and placing money on the table.
“Okay, but can we stop for dessert?” Joey asked if he had been a puppy his tail would be wagging and his ears perked.
“Your STILL hungry!?”

*with Tristan and….everyone else.*
“Where the hell is he!!!!!!!!!” Tristan yelled. They were currently sit on a bench now they were just trying to find Kaiba or someone who spoke Japanese.
No such luck yet.
And not only that but the more Tristan thought about it the more he wondered if Joey was really here.

*back with Kaiba*
“god damn it!! Where the hell are you Joey Wheeler!! I swear when I find you I’m going to give you such a spanking!” he exclaimed. It was hot and he was wondering Darwin all day. He was tired and you don’t want to mess with a Seto Kaiba that has not had any rest.

*back with Joey, because I don’t wanna write about anyone else.*
“Whoa! This is your place? Even though it’s an apartment, it’s huge!”
Valon let a grin show through when less-than-innocent thoughts flooded his mind. But quickly it was shaken from his lips, with a hand pulling the door closed.
“Yes. I apologize for the state of the place. With things being as busy as they have, it’s been difficult to find time to tidy up.”
Tidy up? The place looked immaculately clean compared to Joey’s room. It was the perfect bachelor’s pad, complete with a 40” plasma screen, huge stereo system, and a lighted rack for his motorcycle, all in the same room! Joey could only imagine what his bedroom looked like. Flopping onto the couch, he waved a hand to Valon’s comment.
“Dat’s bull and you know it.” Joey could only ever dream of living in a place like this.
Valon gave a shrug of his shoulders, and wandered into the kitchen, just on the side of the main living room. He didn’t wait for Joey to say whether or not he’d like something to drink; that just wasn’t who he was. Valon had always been a take-charge kind of guy. Isn’t that why Dartz chose him so long ago? He returned to Joey’s side, handing him a bottle of ramune.
“Where did you find this in Australia?”, Joey held up the bottle, glad to finally read something in his own language.
“I bring it over from Domino. Never hurts to have a taste of something foreign.”
Oh yeah, thought Joey. This is his home. So then, he was the foreigner here. Feeling awkward, and suddenly imposing, Joey opened the bottle and sipped the refreshing drink. How long would Valon let him stay? Would he get tired of his company?
As if Valon read Joey’s mind, he answered.
“You can stay for as long as you like. Whenever you’d want me to take you back to Domino, let me know.” he said giving Joey a big grin.
He then took a seat next to Joey throwing his arm over behind him.
Joey stiffened and tried to scoot away. “Um…Valon can I ask ya somtin’ ?” Joey asked timidly.
“yeah, what’s on your mind?” he turned to look at Joey his smirk still on his face.
“w-why did you try to kiss me in the restaurant?” he asked looking away from him. Valon only chuckled. Then he reached over to grasp Joey’s face with his hand and turned it so he was looking at him.
“Do you want to know the truth? I want you that’s why. I want to be your man wheeler that all I want.” Joey’s heart felt like it burst into flames, but he couldn’t tell if it was a good or bad burn. Valon’s face came closer to his, Joey didn’t have
A plate of lemony goodness to block his face from Valon’s. he gripped the sofa tighter as Valon’s lips pressed to his. For some reason he thought that if he kissed Valon he would die…well he was still here so it must not have be that bad.
Joey slowly eased into the kiss, after a moment they broke apart.
“Joey, you are the most adorable person I’ve ever seen.” Valon said squeezing Joey tighter in his embrace.

*the next day*

Joey woke in a plush bed, and to his surprise his pants were missing. Quickly, he scrambled to gather the covers around his pale blue boxers.
What the hell was in that ramune??
His thoughts raced, trying to recollect the night before. He didn’t remember taking his pants off. And much to his dismay, Valon walked into the sunlight-filled warm bedroom, with a look of content upon him. Something that Joey had never seen before. Then again, the only times they ever really conversed were when they were having heated arguments…
“G’day, Joey. Did you sleep well?” Valon’s accent preceded him, with a charming Australian air. (Angel makes him sound like an English diplomat! Lol)
At the thought of doing stuff with Valon late at night Joey blushed crimson!
“w-what happened!?” he asked looking up at Valon.
“he-he don’t worry we didn’t to much.”
“W-WHAT!?” Joey yelped. His face was so hot it steamed.
“Hahaha! Don’t worry yourself, we didn’t do anything…I’m just messing with your head. “
But something in Valon’s voice caused Joey to linger on his tone. Could it be he…. wanted that? No, that couldn’t be. It wasn’t like they were close, or anything, right?
His chocolate eyes melted on the back of Valon’s head, where a daydream began to play in his mind’s eye… One where Valon turned to face him, and took him forcefully by the hand.

“you hungry? We could get something for breakfast? Or do you wanna eat some bread and vegemite…?” Valon asked snapping Joey out of his prior thoughts.
Joey didn’t know what vegemite was but he wasn’t going to stick around and find out.
“l-let’s go out to eat.”

Outside Joey and Valon were walking around window shopping and talking to Joey it felt a little like a date but he let that thought slide.

“hey how about here?” he asked turning to Valon.
Valon looked for a minute and was about to yes until he saw something that made his blood run cold.
Seto Kaiba was in the café drink coffee, “l-let’s go some where else. I hear this place has roaches.” he said quickly pulling on Joey’s hand.
“BUT I’M HUNGRY!” Joey whined.
This commotion didn’t go unnoticed to the man enjoying his roach free, black coffee in the café.
“JOEY!?” Kaiba stood and left the café with such speed no one noticed he left. That is until they saw the half drunken coffee and twenty bucks for a four dollar cup of coffee.
He ran in the direction he saw Joey headed. “where did he go!?” he growled when he slowed down.
“LET GO DAMMIT I’M HUNGRY AND I WANT FOOD!” Joey’s yell sounded from around the corner and like a shot, Kaiba was off on a search. But his search wasn’t very long as soon as he turn said corner he came face to face with the one he was searching for. “Wheeler!? You’re okay…and you’re out here…” Kaiba said he was breathless but he didn’t know why. ‘I must be out of shape’ he thought as he tried to regain his lost breath. Perhaps it was the sight of the blond, his chocolate brown eyes looking up at him in shock, or his blond hair covering parts of his face making him look like he was ready for something physical.
“K-Kaiba!?” Joey to sounded breathless he stood underneath the brunet looking up in to those whirl pools he called eyes.
Their moment died quickly when Valon reached out and grasped Joey’s arm.
“Wha’ Valon what are you!?”
“don’t go with him Joey!
