Broken Dragon
Chapter 4
Jou
“KAIBA?” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Seto Kaiba…in the bathroom crying!
“Who’s
there? I can’t see you.” His voice…he sounded so afraid, he was
looking around, teary red eyes, unable to find where the voice was coming
from. I took a few steps forward and
knelt by his side and he seemed to shrink back in fear.
“Kaiba, can’t you
see me? It’s me…Jou.”
“Jou?” His hands shot out and touched me, and he
moved them up my chest and over my face.
“Jou, is that you?”
“It’s me. What the heck is going on?” I asked. I hated him…didn’t I? What was going on here?
“I’m so sorry
Jou…I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said pitifully. I didn’t care about that now…I just wanted to
know why the hell he was like this!
“Kaiba, I don’t
care right now, apologize later. Just
tell me what happened!” I exclaimed. His
hands released my face and moved to rest on his knees.
“During lunch…I
remember my vision looking fuzzy. I
picked up my tray as fast as I could and cleaned it and put it to be
collected. I remember stumbling a little
as I went back upstairs to grab my cell phone to call Mokuba…then I could
hardly see anything and didn’t want anyone in class to realize it…even if I
think the classroom was really empty at the time…”
“Worried about
your reputation…no surprise there.” Some
revelation…I shouldn’t even have been surprised he’d care about his reputation.
“What did you
say?”
“Continue on
Kaiba.” He frowned at me for a moment
but wiped his eyes and continued to talk.
“I came to this bathroom,
sat in this corner and watched my vision fade to black.” He let out a sigh and leaned his head back
against the wall.
“Why? How in the world did this happen?” I pressed.
Kaiba
I didn’t know if
I should tell him or not…what would he do with the information? After all I had hurt him and he would only
take advantage of it and hurt me in return.
Besides, it would do him little good to know what had really
happened…after all, he believed I wasn’t into all that superstitious stuff.
“I don’t know…” I
whispered. “I don’t know how it happened.”
Did he hate me? He must hate now.
“We better get
you to the hospital,” Jou said and I looked around, even though all I saw was
black. I heard him very well though and
even thought I faintly smelled him wearing some sort of cologne.
“I can’t see
where I’m going,” I pointed out but heard him chuckle.
“If you apologize
for what you did yesterday I’ll help lead you out of here,” he said. There was no smugness, no anger in his voice! What had happened to the Jou I had
known? He didn’t get mad at me now…was
he even the same Jou?
“Shouldn’t you be
mad at me? Shouldn’t you be taking
advantage of this?” I asked, reaching my hands out to try and feel him
again. To feel where he was…to touch the
softness of his skin…it meant more to me now than when I could see him…because
now all I had left was touch.
“I’m not like
you.” I heard those words, gently
rolling off his tongue and they hurt me.
The truth in them hurt, along with the realization that he was the
better of us. “I don’t take advantage of
others when they’re down. Now, are you
gonna apologize or not?”
“I’m sorry Jou, I
never should have insulted you or tried to hurt you,” I said softly. “I
wouldn’t dare to do it again.” I
couldn’t see his expression, so I couldn’t see how he responded to this. I meant it…I meant it with all my heart.
“C’mon, let’s get
you out of here.” I felt strong hands
grab onto my arms and help me to my feet.
His hand grabbed mine and the warmth from it was almost enough to make
me cry. But he hadn’t said if he
accepted the apology or not! “And thanks
for apologizing Kaiba…even if you don’t mean it.”
“I meant it,” I
growled.
“I’m sure,” Jou
muttered. “If you even want me to really trust you, you have to earn it.”
I didn’t say
anything merely let him lead me wherever he was leading me to. I could hear people whispering and several
times Jou had to keep me from walking into a door. I had to push aside my pride for now…I was in
no condition to be on my own…as much as I hated to admit it, I needed Jou
now… Then again, I guess I’ve always
needed Jou. I just didn’t realize how
much and now I’m dependent on him! I’ve
fallen to something I never expected to be…helpless. All the money I have and all the things I can
do won’t get me my sight back. “Jou…”
“What is it
Seto?” he asked. He…he called me by my
first name.
“Thank you,” I
whispered and felt warm air hit my face. “Where are we now?”
“We’re outside Kaiba,” Jou said and
my face fell. He had only called me by
my first name…and it was a fluke. “Hey,
it looks like your brother is here. Is that
who you called?”
“Yes,” I said without hesitation.
“You can just give me over to him and I should be fine.”
“Yeah right,” Jou
snorted and I heard his laughter. “You can’t take care of yourself Kaiba and
you know it, even with your brother’s help.
I’m coming.”
“You can’t afford
to miss another day of school,” I said, “Or you won’t be able to participate in
the graduation ceremonies.”
“Damn.” He swore under his breath but I heard it all
the same. “Damn it. Stupid
graduation. Listen then Kaiba, I’m
coming right after school to make sure you’re okay.”
“How nice of you
to care,” I muttered bitterly. “You should hate me right now, you should be
angry at me!” I didn’t understand why he
wasn’t.
“I’m not angry at
you; you’re just an idiot as reluctant as you are to admit it,” Jou said and
laughed again. “I should have expected nothing less from an idiot. But even Dragons can learn new tricks.” I wanted to see the expression on his face so
badly right now. If only I could! I cursed my eyes, why had it been my sight? Why had it been me? I pushed my thoughts to the side now and
returned to the time that was now. I
could morn over everything later. I
wasn’t about to cry in front of Jou.
“Just like
puppies?” I inquired with a smile. I
wish I could have seen his expression.
“Don’t push your
luck on that,” Jou said. “Hey Mokuba, right on time. Come and get your brother here and take him
to the hospital. Make sure he doesn’t
bump his head into anything and keep him safe until I get there, all right?” I couldn’t see, so I wasn’t able to see
Mokuba’s expression but I noted glee and joy in his voice when he spoke back to
Jou.
“I’ll take good
care of him Jou,” Mokuba said and I felt myself transferring hands. I was reluctant to let go but I did. Did Jou realize anything about how I felt
now? Did he care about me at all? I didn’t know…and I couldn’t see his face nor
gauge his reaction! Why was this
happening to me? I hated it!
“Good,” Jou
responded and I heard the shuffling of his feet as he ran back towards the
school. I didn’t want him to go but I
knew I had to. It was okay I guess, he
said he’d come later and all I could do now was trust him to keep his
promise. I knew him, even if he thought
I didn’t. He’d keep his promise and
come, of that much I was certain.
“Big brother,
come on, we better get you to the hospital,” Mokuba said and I let him get me
into the limo. I ran my hands over the
leather. I never realized it was smooth
and warm to the touch until now. “How
are you Seto? Can you really not see
anything?”
“No, I can’t,” I replied and buried
my face in my hands. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t run the company without my sight!” I tried to calm myself; working up into a
blind panic wouldn’t do me any good right now!
“Don’t worry,
I’ll help. You’re going to be okay. There are ways to work around your sight
problem, I’m sure there are!” He was trying to be so helpful. Of course, it wasn’t much help just yet, I
still felt so hopeless!
Jou
I think Seto had
something happen to him too, not just me.
Did Kana say something about my anger being only half the price? It would make sense if she had but I didn’t
remember. I couldn’t remember the
details right now and I wasn’t able to get mad over it either. I’d say it was pissing me off only if it was!
“Jou, you’re
back! I saw you walking out with Seto;
you were leading him towards Mokuba and his limo, what’s up?” I looked over at
Yugi as I sat down in my desk.
“Kaiba can’t
see,” I said, saying it softly so only Yugi could hear.
“What did you say?” Yugi asked with his big
eyes shining. I sighed heavily and
stared at the wood of the desk, tracing circles around the top with my
finger. Yugi always loved to pry now
more than ever. I think he was trying to
hook me up with Seto and now it looked closer than ever to actually happening,
not that I wanted to tell him. If Yugi
was up to something, I would let him linger a little bit before letting on that
anything big was going on, just because he really shouldn’t be playing with my love
life, even if it was probably for my own good.
“I just told you,
Kaiba lost his sight, he can’t see,” I said.
I had said it a little louder than I had previously intended but
everyone was ignoring me as we waited for the class to start. My stomach growled and I remembered I hadn’t
really gotten to eat much lunch before I went off after Seto. I grimaced; I was going to be hungry now for
a while until I could nab something after school. I guessed I would be eating hospital food
then since I was going to make sure Kaiba was all right.
“Tell me about
it, what happened?” Yugi asked, curiosity shining in his eyes, along with a
hint of mischief.
“I can’t tell you
now; I’ll talk to you later tonight, okay?
I’m going to the hospital after school to see how he’s doing.” I said,
not exactly knowing what’s come over me.
It was weird, I didn’t hate him anymore for what he had done and it
wasn’t just because of the apology. He
was starting to learn what suffering was.
This was starting to turn out like Shizuka’s experience except this
time, Seto had lost his sight now and I doubted that any operation could
restore him to his former self. I wanted
to help now; he seemed to have completely changed overnight. But then again, it was like that with me
too. I couldn’t help but wonder if Kana
had gotten involved with him as well but I didn’t know.
This wouldn’t do
me any good to worry but I couldn’t help it.
I was supposed to hate him, remember?
But I didn’t…I loved him. I loved
moneybags, that idiot Seto Kaiba. I
loved him and now, I didn’t know my next step.
Damnit it all, why was everything so confusing?
