It�s My Secret to
Keep
By
Hideki LaShae

Chapter Eight � Chichikuru

�� I wake up
with Seto running his fingers through my unruly blonde hair. I smile at him.
�� I love you
so much,� says Seto, �But next time we make love, we�re doing it properly. I
will prepare you and make you unashamed of your body, and I�m not being tied
up.�
�� I blush.
�Okay, but remember� we�re not making love to each other again until after we
duel each other.�
�� I remember
our arrangement, but thank you for breaking it last night. It was�� Seto
blushes.
�� You don�t
have to say it.� I climb from the bed.
�� You have a
nice ass,� says Seto smiling at me.
�� I blush and
grab my pajama shirt to pull it on. �I�d better return to my room and get
dressed.�
�� You have
the perfect body, Joey. Don�t be ashamed of it,� says Seto climbing from bed
which makes me blush when I realize he�s still naked from our activities last
night, �I�ll see you, and your nice ass, on the roof.�
�� Yes� You
will,� I say heading through the doorway into my room. I smile when I see
Mokuba and Serenity curled up beneath the blankets together. I shake Mokuba
awake. �Hey, it�s time to wake up and go get dressed. You�ll want to be ready
to watch the tournament.�
�� Okay,
Joey,� says Mokuba crawling from the bed wearing his Duel Monsters pajamas. He
yawns and heads into Seto�s room.
�� I wake
Serenity. �Hey, little sister. Time to get up.�
�� Serenity
smiles at me and climbs from the bed groggily. �So� what did you and Seto do
last night?�
�� Go take a
bath!� I exclaim.
�� Join me?�
asks Serenity quietly.
�� I push
Serenity into the bathroom and lock the door behind us.
�� Did you
have sex with him, Jojo?� whispers Serenity starting the bathwater.
�� I blush and
bite my lower lip. �I hadn�t planned on it. But I got the sudden urge to sing.
But things got out of control. I started to need him, to do what no one else
could. I didn�t let him take me as he would if I was a woman, but he took me as
he would a man. What about you and Mokuba?�
�� Last
night, I received my first kiss,� says Serenity as I pull off my pajamas. She
turns off the water and sheds her own pajamas.
�� I climb
into the large bathtub with Serenity. �Is Mokuba a good kisser?�
�� He�s shy
and nervous, but it was so nice!�
�� I chuckle.
�� Okay!
Let�s get cleaned up and dressed so we can go to the next stage of the
tournament!� exclaims Serenity.
�� My words
exactly! We�ll order breakfast in!� I say happily.
�� Jojo,�
says Serenity sullenly, �How long do you think we can keep up this charade?�
�� Before the
end of the tournament, Joey Wheeler will die. It�ll be up to you whether Jono
or Jojo remains. Seto will love either one,� I say grabbing the shampoo and
scrubbing it into my hair.
�� I don�t
want to choose. I love Jono! I love Jojo! I can�t choose between them,� says
Serenity as she rubs the soap into her skin.
�� I chuckle.
�Yeah! I am both of them, and I can�t do it either!�
�� Serenity
giggles.

�� *�� *�� *

�� Everyone
stares at me as I walk out of the elevator with Serenity, and there�s really no
wondering why. Only three of the people here have ever seen me dressed like
this.
�� My hiking
boots make resounding noises as I stride towards the others with a slight shake
to my bare hips. My black leather pants cling tightly to my legs, but they
still reveal my hips in a rather suggestive manner. The silver colored, net
muscle shirt I wear shimmers in the bright sunlight pouring down on us. My
black trench coat doesn�t seem to hide much of the silver top, and it certainly
doesn�t prevent anyone from seeing my navel. But it does make a nice whooshing
sound as it flutters behind me.
�� Kaiba
stares at me with wide eyes. That emotion I don�t understand within his eyes
watches me closely. He looks rather possessive.
�� Whoa!
Joey! What the hell did you do?� asks Tristan.
�� Did you
steal one of Kaiba�s old trench coats?� asks Bakura from his position within
Marik�s arms.
�� Nope!
Didn�t need to. This is something I�ve had lying around for awhile now,� I say.
�� Mako smiles
at me, but I ignore him in favor of a different victim.
�� I smirk at
Kaiba as I walk right up to him. I raise an eyebrow. �See something you like?�
�� Kaiba
blushes slightly, but I can tell from the look in his eyes that he likes what
he sees very, very much.
�� Now� I
seem to remember someone here challenging me to a duel this morning!� I exclaim
turning away from Kaiba and walking towards Weevil, �You figured you could win
your little insect back, didn�t you, Bug?�
�� Weevil
glares at me. �Let�s duel!�
�� Fine!� I
exclaim walking over to take my position on the dueling platform and securing
my duel disk to my left wrist. I pull my deck from the pocket of my trench
coat.
�� Weevil
moves to stand across from me while Bakura and Rebecca take up their positions
on the other duel platform.
�� Four voices
resound as one, �Let�s duel!�
�� I smirk as
I play my first monster. �I summon Dunames!�
�� Weevil
makes his move while I start to sway my hips to a silent tune. He doesn�t look
at me, but that will soon change.
�� I know Mako
and Kaiba both stare at me, Pegasus too because he knows of my skills on the
dance floor. Although I�m sure that Mako and Pegasus will both be surprised at
this performance. �I�ll set one card, and let me warn you! It�s a trap!�
�� Weevil
scoffs.
�� I could be
James Dean of the music scene. I could be a big star like that man called
Queen,� I sing as I wait for Weevil. I dance seductively in my place on the
platform. �I could have fly moves, be a dance floor dream, but if she can�t
seem to notice me, then what�s it worth now?�
�� Joey,�
Serenity whispers blinking at me in shock.
�� I summon
the All-seeing White Tiger in attack mode,� I say. I turn on the charm, not the
slight charm like I used against Seto when I first sang for him, or the medium
charm I used on him last night, the average charm I use at work on a normal
basis, or the hyper charm I use when the night gets rough. I turn on the full
charm, the �somebody better fuck me senseless and I don�t really care who�
charm, that I use only in desperate circumstances when the crowd at Selene�s is
just so sexually charged and oh so fuckable that even I get high on the
estrogen and testosterone floating through the air. My right hand touches my
bare hips as I sing the next verse, �Could have my teeth flashing a Brad Pitt
smile, be wearing Versace �cause that�s my style, could have my hair cut by the
extra mile, but if she can�t make it worth my while then what�s the point now?�
�� Weevil
plays some lame bug and stares at me with wide bug-like eyes.
�� I notice
the intense blushes on Yugi and Bakura�s cheeks as they stare at me.
�� Rebecca�s
hand covers her eyes so she can�t watch me.
�� I wanna
know if you�re busy! I wanna know if you�re doing anything tonight. I wanna
know if you missed me. I wanna know, baby. I wanna know. I wanna know!� I sing
moving to the fast beat of the music that only I hear, but my voice does enough
to carry the beat and my seductive message. �Say good-by to your trap cards! I
sacrifice my Tiger to summon Jinzo! And I�ll place a card just in case��
�� Bakura�
it�s uh� it�s your turn� I think,� mumbles Rebecca blushing intensely and trying
not to look at me.
�� I wish
that I could kiss your lips the way that I� I want to baby. I wish that I could
be your man. I wish that you could be my lady!� I look over at the group of
spectators watching me while I wait for Weevil to make his move. I wink at Mako
to make him blush and nod at Pegasus. Then my eyes turn to my more immediate
group of friends.
�� Serenity
stands between Duke and Mokuba, with Tristan right beside Duke, and all four
stare at me with wide eyes. It appears that Duke is even getting turned on by
my dance; he looks a little warm, but that doesn�t surprise me because I�ve
seen him before although he didn�t see Joey Wheeler!
�� Yugi
blushes intensely and hides his face in Tea�s chest.
�� I smirk.
Good going, Yugi. Victory is yours. I turn my eyes to Kaiba and immediately
notice the tent starting to form in his pants. He wants me. He needs me. Good.
�I could be sly stone of the family crew. I could be big Bad Daddy Warbucks and
love you too. I could be knocked senseless by what you do, but if it�s pain
that I�m going through it isn�t love now! I made up my own darn mind; I�m
getting no love after all this time. I�m gonna make music till my brain is
fried because you can�t see the man inside!�
�� Weevil
clenches his eyes tightly closed and makes a very poor play.
�� I�m getting
to him. �I wanna know if you�re busy! I wanna know if you�re doing anything
tonight. I wanna know if you missed me. I wanna know, baby. I wanna know. I
wanna know!� I sing with my overly seductive dance moves. �I play Sangan, and
I�ll set one card for later. Let me warn you! It�s a trap card!�
�� Bakura!
Hurry up! I need you, love!� exclaims Marik giving a pout.
�� I�m sorry,
Rebecca. I surrender!� exclaims Bakura before quickly hopping off the duel
platform and running straight into Marik�s arms to give him a lustful kiss.
�� I drop down
into a feral, very feline pouncing position. I�m pulling dance moves I wouldn�t
even try on the wildest night at Selene�s, and I�m enjoying every minute of my
unwitting audience�s torture. I change the tone of my music slightly as my mind
switches over to a different song, a more provocative piece that I like. �Well,
I want to take you as I find you. Imagine our clothes are on the floor. Feel my
caress so soft and gentle, so delicate you cry for more,� I sing sending a
glance towards the people who are now all watching my duel, or more precisely
my dance, �But you know baby. You know baby does it right, and you know baby
does it right.�
�� Um� I play
a trap card,� mumbles Weevil, too intent on watching the shimmy in my hips and
the way my hand caresses my covered chest. That�s not even mentioning what the
wind is doing to my sexily mussed hair and stylishly seductive trench coat.
�� I place a
monster in defense mode without missing a step as I spin in a circle and thrust
my pelvis forward wantonly. �Universe inside of your heart! You gotta let me
know so you can be free baby. You wanted it so much, and now that it�s over,
you don�t know what you want!�
�� Kaiba licks
his lips as he watches me move.
�� Put time
in a capsule, two minds consensual. Entwined to perfection if we could�� I
sing. I see the look in Pegasus�s eye, the only one not covered by his silver
hair, and I�m not referring to that stupid third eye he has on very rare
occasion. I can tell that he thinks I�m overdoing it, and I know he�s right,
but I�m not doing this for Weevil�s sake. This is my mating dance, and my
chosen mate is responding quite well to my calls for pleasure.
�� Kaiba moves
his hands to cross in front of his lower body, trying to hide the state of his
arousal.
�� I lick my
lips and summon Harpie�s Brother. I set three magic and trap cards. I may be
dancing to seduce my mate. I may be singing to arouse my lover and distract my
opponent, but I can still keep one mind on the duel. �Cuddle up close. Lay on
my chest now, listen my heart beat�s coming down. If you get tired you close
your eyes now,� I sing and move with a swagger in my hips as I move slightly
across my section of the platform, �When you wake up, I won�t be found �cause I
know baby. I know you�re the nervous kind with so much going on in your mind.�
�� Weevil�s
already lost it. His life points are down to half what we started with, and he
can�t even look me in the eye. He can however look at my crotch, the ugly
pervert!
�� Serenity
steps forward away from my group of friends. She�s coming to support me. She
takes a deep breath before singing for me as I dance, �Universe inside of your
heart. You gotta let me know so you can be free baby! You wanted it so much,
and now that it�s over, you don�t know what you want!�
�� But let me
tell you that, this time, I�m gonna make you mine! I won�t let you go �cause I
know, this time, I�m gonna make sure I look out for me,� I sing. I perform a
move that would make a contortionist sweat as I stretch backwards and touch my
hands to the ground before doing a handstand and falling down into a crouching
position after my backwards spectacle. I hear the gasps from my friends, both
because of my flexibility and the nice view that I just gave them.
�� Weevil
places his hand over his deck in a universally recognized sign of defeat.
�� I smirk.
�Cause you know baby. Well you know baby does it right, and you know baby does
it right. You will only end up lost in loneliness,� I sing as I turn my dancing
to face Kaiba, �And wake up with the words already on your lips. So I�ll let
you go, baby. So I�ll let you go��
�� Universe
inside of your heart. You gotta let me know so you can be free baby!� sings
Serenity, �You wanted it so much, and now that it�s over, you don�t know what
you want!�
�� I finish my
dance with a spin that causes my trench coat to whip around my legs, and I fall
to my knees in a bow.
�� Weevil
rushes past me with a bright red face and heads to the elevator quickly with
Espa and Rex right on his heels.
�� Wheeler,
what the hell was the meaning of that?� asks Kaiba angrily as he glares at me.
�� I stand up.
�You said there weren�t any rules, and that wasn�t exactly cheating by any
means! I was just distracting him!�
�� But did
you have to distract me too?� asks Bakura in between impassioned kisses with
Marik.
�� I stand up
and blush. �I�m sorry, Bakura! I didn�t mean to distract you!�
�� Quite all
right,� mumbles Marik, �Now I get to console him for losing!� He winds a leg
around Bakura�s to trip up his lover so they both tumble to the roof in a
flurry of legs and arms and furious kisses.
�� Can we
leave before they start having sex on the roof?� I ask innocently.
�� Yugi
squeaks and rushes towards the elevator with Tea.
�� We all head
down leaving Bakura and Marik to their activities on the roof.
�� I enter my
room quickly, but I don�t stay in my room. I duck through the doorway into
Seto�s just as he walks through the door with Mokuba.
�� Mokie, why
don�t you go watch TV with Serenity,� I say motioning to the door behind me.
�� Mokuba
smiles knowingly as he walks into my room and closes the door.
�� I rush into
Seto�s arms and kiss him roughly as I guide him over to the bed. I shove him
onto the mattress and straddle him as I unzip his pants. I reach my hand in and
grab his hard erection. I stroke him forcefully as I kiss him.
�� Joey� you
can take me if it would please you,� whispers Seto biting back a moan of
pleasure.
�� No� I want
my lover obedient,� I whisper in between kisses, �I want my lover to be true to
his word, and we said we wouldn�t make love until after we dueled each other. I
can�t take you now, whether it would please me or not.� I pull away from Seto�s
searching hands which had just a moment ago gotten dangerously close to the
zipper on my leather pants. I smirk at his pouting expression. �What is it with
you and wanting to be the submissive uke anyway?�
�� Seto
narrows his eyes at me in a mock glare. �I don�t want to be either!�
�� Really?
Then why did you ask me to take you? Both now and last night? You seem to like
the idea of being submissive to me as well as the uke,� I whisper, letting my
breath tickle Seto�s ear.
�� I want
this relationship to be fair. I want it equal. I don�t want you to always
submit to my will and do things because you think it�s what I want. I want you
to do the things that you want and force me to enjoy it with you if that would
make you happy,� whispers Seto, �I just want us to be equal. After a long day
at work, when I come home sexually frustrated to you�� He pulls me into a
fierce kiss and thrusts up into my hands. �All I would want to do is pound you
into the mattress, and no matter how strong you are, I would force you to
submit to me. So I want you to have all the chances to be dominant that you can
for when that time comes.�
�� I blush.
�But I like being submissive.�
�� Seto�s eyes
widen at my confession.
�� I kiss down
Seto�s chest and clamp my mouth over his erection.
�� Seto moans
as I seriously begin my work to satisfy him.
�� Duel�
when?� I don�t want to release the firm cock to speak, but I can�t talk around
it and I need to know how much time I have left to satisfy his need for me.
�� Two
hours!� Seto�s body shudders. �I duel the winner� Ishizu� Mai!�
�� Mm-hmm�� I
pull away from him and lick my lips. �How badly do you need me?�
�� Desperately!�
hisses Seto staring at me with wide eyes.
�� He needs me
like I need him. I move back to suckle his penis and drive him wild as only I
can. I feel Seto�s hands grasp my hair and force me down further onto him. I
nearly choke on the quivering member within me but I calm my body quickly and
use this new vantage point to my benefit.
�� After a
lengthy session, Seto�s body releases into my mouth. Oh, oh! Interesting taste!
Interesting taste! I pull away finally and lick the cock clean. This is an
interesting taste, but I think� I think I like it! I nip the tip of Seto�s cock
before pulling away completely. �How was I?�
�� Seto looks
towards the sound of my voice with pleasure-hazed eyes. He smiles. �Have I told
you that you�re the most beautiful person in the world?�
�� I smile and
cuddle up to Seto.
�� Time for
me to do the same to you?� asks Seto kissing my lips.
�� Sorry.
Time for you to take a shower and get ready for your duel,� I say, �I should go
make an appearance to watch Yugi and Mai in their duels� if they aren�t
finished already!�
�� Seto pouts
as he moves a hand down to my crotch. �But I want you!�
�� I laid the
charm a bit too thick for him. He is such a virgin, but I guess I am too� when
it comes to sex. I kiss Seto passionately as I move his hand away from my
equipment. �I�m sorry, Seto. Not until after we duel. Go take a shower. I�m
going to cheer for my friends. I�ll even cheer for you in your duel later if I
have time in between moves in my duel against Rebecca. My heart will be on the
duel platform with you.�
�� Seto sulks
as I pull away from his warmth and head out of the room.

�� *�� *�� *

�� Mai defeats
Ishizu on one platform while Yugi defeats Marik on the other.
�� I don�t see
Seto again until the beginning of the next hour when I take to the duel platform
with Rebecca and he goes up with Mai.
�� I start to
get this odd feeling of foreboding as if something bad is about to happen. I
look over at my group of friends and stare into their faces.
�� Ishizu
looks coldly at me, and Odion keeps his gaze upon the roof.
�� Mai and
Kaiba are too interested in their duel to even look at me, but I think I catch
Kaiba glancing at me from the corner of his eye.
�� Mako has a
blush as he looks at me from his position beside Pegasus who looks at me with
slightly worried eyes.
�� Tea and
Solomon smile at me, and Yugi waves happily.
�� Marik and
Bakura look at me with blank eyes. They don�t seem to be the same light-hearted
people I�ve become friends with. In fact, Marik looks very much like his
psychotic, evil alter ego.
�� Serenity holds
her hand over her heart and nibbles on her lip as she looks at me. She grips
Mokuba�s hand securely with her other hand.
�� Duke and
Tristan both scowl, not at each other, or me, but at Mokuba.
�� It�s your
move, Joey!� exclaims Arthur catching my eye.
�� Everything
looks normal, but my feeling of impending doom only increases as I turn back
towards Rebecca. I have to end this. I have to end this now! �Say good-bye to
your trap cards! I summon Jinzo!�
�� It isn�t
much longer before I�m walking off the duel platform with another victory in
hand. I hear Seto�s Blue-Eyes White Dragon roar as it wipes out the last of
Mai�s life points. My insides quiver and quake. It�s like I�m shaking in fear.
I�m not moving. I can�t move forward. Oh, wait, I am moving forward� towards
the cement! I fall to my knees and cross my arms over my heart. What�s going
on? There isn�t time for this! It isn�t right!
�� Joey?�
shrieks Serenity.
�� I�m vaguely
aware of Kaiba spinning around to look at me. I�m not here. I�m not in control.
Something�s wrong!
�� Mutt?�
asks Kaiba.
�� I push
myself to my feet and run towards Serenity. I have a desperate need to hold her
to me. That�s when I hear it.
�� The
helicopter propellers whir as it rises up alongside the building.
�� I see
everything move in slow motion as if time has stopped.
�� A man hops
out of the helicopter and grabs both Serenity and Tea, confused about which
brunette girl he�s supposed to be nabbing. He stuffs them into the helicopter
as they both scream, and all the while I�m running towards them as fast as I
can. The man snarls at me, and I know that his canine teeth look longer than
they should possibly be.
�� I scream as
the helicopter takes off again. �Siren!�
�� Time
resumes, and everyone gasps.
�� Serenity!�
screams Tristan.
�� The
elevator dings, and the doors open.
�� I pull my
cell phone from my pocket.
�� Put the
phone away, Wheeler,� comes the voice of Lady Raven as she walks out of the
elevator, �Selene�s helicopter is already on route to take you to the docks.�
�� What the
hell did they want, Raven?� I shout.
�� They
wanted young Lady Wheeler so that they could entrap young Lord Wheeler,�
explains Lady Raven staring at me with her silver eyes. Her long reddish-brown
hair whips around her in the wind of a second helicopter.
�� You mean
those fucking bastards don�t know?�
�� Everyone
believes what is printed in stone,� says Lady Raven.
�� Shit! How
long did you know they were coming?� I ask.
�� I tried to
call you, but your phone is off. I came as soon as I received the vision.� Lady
Raven looks at me apologetically.
�� Shit!
Fuck! Dammit!� I scream at the top of my lungs as the military style helicopter
lands on the duel platform.
�� Joey!
What�s going on?� asks Yugi running to my side. Wait� this isn�t Yugi; it�s
Yami.
�� They were
after me!� I exclaim grabbing Yami�s arm and pulling him towards the
helicopter. �We have to save Siren and Tea!�
�� Can we all
fit in this thing?� asks Duke running up beside me.
�� I shrug and
jump into the helicopter.
�� We�ll meet
you at the docks, Jo!� shouts Pegasus heading towards the elevator with Ishizu,
Odion, Mako, Rebecca, Arthur, Solomon, and Lady Raven.
�� Yugi, Duke,
Tristan, Mai, Marik, Bakura, Seto, and Mokuba jump into the helicopter with me.
�� The pilot
winks at me and I recognize Hourglass. �Where to, Jono?�
�� Hey, Hourglass!
Take me to Siren!� I exclaim.
�� Why the
hell are they after you and Serenity?� asks Mokuba glaring at me.
�� They� want
me because of who they think I am,� I say slowly, �It�s a case of mistaken
identity.�
�� Who do
they think you are?� asks Duke grabbing the collar of my trench coat and
shaking me.
�� Let Jono
go or I�ll dump you from the helicopter!� exclaims Hourglass with a feral
growl.
�� You�d best
do it. Hourglass doesn�t make idle threats,� I say glaring at Duke, �In fact,
I�ve never known him to make any threats, only promises.�
�� Duke
releases my coat, and I straighten it out.
�� So�
Hourglass, do you know how high on the totem pole the kidnappers are?� I ask,
�All things considered, they didn�t look that great to me.�
�� Dirt,�
replies Hourglass, �They�re dirt high.�
�� I nod with
a smirk. �This will be easy.�
�� Our
helicopter lands at the docks and we all jump out to head towards the two
kidnappers who have Serenity and Tea tied up and sitting on crates.
�� I strut
towards the two men and glare at them for all I�m worth. �You want me? You got
me! Now you think you can keep me?�
�� One of the
men rushes towards me with inhuman speed, but I strike him even faster and he
falls into the water.
�� I lunge at
the second man and flip him into the air and down into the water. I kneel at
the edge of the dock and whisper a small prayer along with a few foreign words.
Then I turn around to see the friends who had went off with Pegasus arriving in
a limousine.
�� Yugi and
Mokuba hurry to untie Tea and Serenity.
�� Tea throws
her arms around Yugi and kisses his lips quickly. �I was so scared!�
�� Yugi
blushes furiously. �I missed you too, Tea.�
�� I�m
sorry.� Tea blushes.
�� I walk back
towards Serenity. �Are you okay?�
�� I�m fine,
Jojo,� whispers Serenity.
�� I grab
Serenity�s chin and look at the bruise on her face. �What the hell did those
bastards do to you?�
�� It�s just
a black eye,� says Serenity, �Nothing I haven�t had before. There are much
worse things!�
�� I gasp as I
look at my little sister and I stare into her brown eyes. Understanding seeps
through my skin. �What has that bitch done to you?�
�� I think
you know,� says Serenity quietly.
�� What?� I
snap loudly.
�� Hairbrush,�
whispers Serenity looking away from me with tears in her eyes.
�� My eyes
widen as I start a mantra of �Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch!� I stomp over to the
side of a brick building, one of the warehouses that line the docks, and I hit
the bricks first with my right hand, then my left. I repeat the procedure over
and over again as my voice gets louder, �Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch!�
�� Jo!�
exclaims Serenity.
�� My friends
all stare at me in shock. I�ve never before let them see me lose my temper like
this, and it scares them to see me now� not that I blame them for fearing me.
�� That
fucking bitch!� I scream at the top of my lungs as I hit the wall with all my
strength. I fall down onto my butt looking at my hands as they bleed profusely.
I run my hands through my blond hair, staining it red.
�� What are
you doing, Joey?� asks Yugi with wide fearful eyes.
�� I start laughing
slightly as I rub the back of my hand over my face and lick the blood from my
hand. �That bitch! I will kill her! I will kill her! Life in jail with her dead
is much better than life free with her alive!�
�� Jo!�
screams Serenity running over to kneel in front of me and shake me, �If you
kill her and go to jail, you will leave me all alone! I need you! You can�t
leave me!�
�� I gasp as
Serenity�s words snap me out of my trance. I look at the blood on my hands.
�Serenity� what happened? Why am I bleeding?�
�� You were
punching the wall, idiot!� exclaims Duke.
�� I glare at
Duke.
�� After I
told you what Mom�s been doing to me,� says Serenity pointing to the section of
wall I had been hitting.
�� I look to
see my blood smeared on the stone. I stand up and walk over to a clean section
of wall. I turn to Seto. �Hey, Kaiba! Say something to piss me off!�
�� Go fuck
yourself!� exclaims Seto.
�� Not good
enough!� I glare at Seto and growl.
�� Serenity
backs away from me, knowing what I intend to do once I get pissed off. �Yeah�
Why would he need to fuck himself? That�s what he�s got his father for!�
�� Fuck!� I
shout as I turn towards the clean wall and punch the stone once. I pull my hand
away and smirk at the hole in the wall. �I knew I was stronger than that!�
�� Oh, my
gods! You mean it was true, Jo?� asks Serenity staring at me in shock.
�� Yeah� so�
he rapes his own son�� I don�t look at Serenity. I stare at the hole I made
instead.
�� Son?�
Serenity walks up to me and places a hand on my back. �You mean he�?�
�� I turn away
from her, but I glance over my shoulder. �Will you save me?�
�� Always!�
Serenity smiles.
�� I run away,
across the dock and jump into the water with a girlish scream.
�� Serenity
tears off after me, and she dives into the water. She pulls me up and pushes me
onto the dock as I sputter to remove the water from my mouth and lungs. She
pulls herself up beside me.
�� I shake my
head so the water flies off. �Am I still covered in blood?�
�� Nope,�
says Serenity looking around. �Hey, Mokuba� do you suppose I could borrow your
jacket for awhile?�
�� Um� yes?�
Mokuba pulls his jacket off and walks cautiously up to us. He hands it to
Serenity.
�� Serenity
passes it to me with a wink.
�� I hold the
jacket to shield her in between it and me as she removes her shirt, dropping the
wet cloth on my head as she pushes her arms through the jacket.
�� Serenity
zips the jacket up as much as she can. She pulls her shirt from my head and
rips it into strips, which she quickly wraps around my hands to stop the
bleeding.
�� Thanks,
Siren,� I say smiling.
�� What just
happened?� asks Tea still staring in shock at the wall that I punched through.
�� Well�
Serenity here was about to tell me exactly what that bitch of a mother
has been doing to her,� I say staring into the honey brown eyes of my sister.
�� Siren?�
whispers Seto under his breath as he looks at my confrontation with Serenity. I
have the oddest feeling that if I could see the cogs and wheels in his head
that I�d witness them clicking together with oncoming realization.
�� She hates
me more then she ever hated you, Jo,� whispers Serenity so that only I should
be able to hear her, �She�s been hurting me ever since we moved away. I would
have told you, but� I didn�t want you to do something stupid.�
�� She� she�
she� that bitch has abused you?� I shout.
�� Tell the
whole world, why don�t you?� asks Serenity turning her head away from me.
�� That�s it!
You are moving in with me!�
�� I can�t
live with Dad! He�d rape me!� exclaims Serenity staring at me with wide eyes.
�� I never
said we�d be living with that bastard!� I exclaim, �I said, you would be moving
in with me! I�ve had my eye on an apartment for a while. The owner is real nice
and is holding it for me cause he�s heard of my situation. The apartment comes
furnished! I close at the beginning of next week! All I need to do is keep a
steady job so I can pay the bills and put food on the table and we�ll be set
for life! I already have enough money for the deposit, so we can have our own
place within a week.�
�� But where
are you going to get a job for rent money? You know that the school doesn�t
permit students to have jobs!� asks Tea, �Wait a minute� You close next
week? You mean you�re buying it?�
�� What they
don�t know, doesn�t hurt me!� I exclaim chuckling, �I�ve had a nice job for
over a year, and no one at the pansy ass school even knows about it� or if they
do, they can�t say nothing!�
�� Seto�s eyes
narrow as he glares at me even more intensely. �What kind of job do you have
that would make school officials fear you?�
�� I smirk at
Seto and cross my arms over my chest in an act of superiority and confidence.
�I work at Selene�s��
�� My friends
all gasp, and Seto�s eyes actually widen.
�� And if the
school does happen to find out� what would they do? Expel me? Yeah� I could
make twice if not three times as much money simply by adding days to my work
roster!�
�� When do
you work? What is Selene�s?� asks Serenity.
�� It�s an
adult entertainment lounge,� I say turning a smile to Serenity, �I get paid to
show young rich snobs the fine art of seduction and the old fags the art of
sensuality. Plus� I get to live her dream. You know she always wanted to be a
paid singer. So I get up on stage every night I work. I take the ten to five
a.m. shift. I make pretty good money too cause people like me.� I glance at Seto
and wink. �Maybe you should come by sometime, Kaiba� I�m sure you could do with
my services!�
�� Seto�s face
flushes and his jaw drops slightly.
�� Are you a
prostitute?� asks Yugi.
�� I shake my
head. �No, Yugi� I�m still a virgin. Thanks for the vote of confidence but I
know you didn�t mean it.�
�� You work
at Selene�s and you�re a virgin?� asks Tristan with wide eyes. He starts
laughing.
�� Most of
the underagers who work at Selene�s are virgins,� I say smugly, �There are�
five of us� oh, no wait. The newbie counts as six underagers, but I don�t know
if she�s a virgin. So six underage and four confirmed virgins. I don�t get paid
for sex yet.�
�� Yet?� asks
Mokuba looking at me with worried eyes. He shares a quick glance with Seto.
�� Does that
mean you plan to become a prostitute, Joey?� asks Yugi.
�� No one
plans for that, but I would make an extra six hundred a night if I went in for
the Heaven�s Light package,� I say, �Who else beside the Big Bad CEO could say
they get two grand for seven hours of work?�
�� Big Bad
CEO?� asks Seto glaring at me.
�� I roll my
eyes at him and shrug my shoulders. �Yeah� well� I was saying we�d move into
our own place and you could go to school here, Serenity. That way we�d be close
together again, and I can chase away all potential boyfriends who aren�t good
enough for you.�
�� Tristan and
Duke both smile at me.
�� Which
definitely includes those two!� I point my thumb at the two who frown.
�� Serenity
giggles. �I�d love to live with you again, but I don�t want you selling
yourself out for my sake, Joey!�
�� I�m not
doing it completely for you. I�m doing it for me too. I can�t take all Dad�s
shit anymore! I shouldn�t have to! This is my ticket out. I�m just extending
the offer to you because you�re the only girl I�ll ever love,� I say. I see the
slightly hurt expression flashing in Mai�s eyes.
�� Deal!�
exclaims Serenity.
�� Mokuba tugs
on Seto�s jacket. �Seto! We can�t let them do this! Joey shouldn�t have to work
at Selene�s just for money! Isn�t there something you can do?�
�� Even if he
wanted to do something, I wouldn�t accept help from that asshole!� I exclaim.
�� I know you
don�t mean that, Joey� You like sexy, arrogant assholes after all!� Serenity
smirks at me.
�� Oh, that
does it! Now I�m really going to pound his ass into the pavement! How dare you
convince my sister you�re sexy, you rich snob?� I scream marching towards Seto
and clenching my fists.
�� I have
three words for you, Joey,� says Serenity, �Jojo loved him.�
�� I stop in
my tracks.
�� You know
Jojo?� asks Seto with wide eyes. And there it is! That flash of recognition, a
glimpse of comprehension, but still confusion reigns. He doesn�t understand how
we know Jojo, but he�s beginning to realize that Serenity is the Siren he once
knew.
�� She�s our
sister,� I say spinning around to look at Serenity with equally wide eyes.

�� Where is she?� Seto moves
gracefully to my side and lifts me into the air by the collar of my trench
coat. Sure� now he wants to know where she is. Why didn�t you ask
earlier, Seto dear?
�� Dead�
drowned,� I whisper closing my eyes as tears start to form.
�� What?�
asks Seto.
�� Our mother
fucking murdered her, okay?� I scream as my tears roll from my eyes, �She held
her under the bath water until she couldn�t breathe anymore! And she tried to
drown me too! I know you wish she would have finished the job!�
�� Seto drops
me to the ground, and I land on my butt. He falls to his knees in complete
shock beside me. �She� she�s dead? How long�?�
�� That
confession, brief as it was, was enough to shatter my tight control. Suddenly,
I�m hurdled back in time six years and the event that destroyed my life flashes
before my eyes again. The seawater falls down from my hair to mix with the salt
water rolling from my eyes. I sob loudly, and my entire body trembles. �Siren��
�� Jo!�
exclaims Serenity with wide frightened eyes as she rushes to kneel in front of
me and pull me into her embrace, �What happened?�
�� Mommy
killed Jojo! Mommy killed Jojo!� I cry clutching tightly to Serenity. I shake
my head and gasp. I push her away. �Go! Tell daddy! Mommy killed Jojo! Mommy
killed Jojo!�
�� Dammit!
Joey! Snap out of it! That was six years ago! You�re sixteen! Not ten! Snap out
of it! Come back to me!� exclaims Serenity shaking me roughly.
�� Mommy
killed Jojo! Mommy killed Jojo!�
�� Serenity
takes a deep breath and shakes her head. �Joey! Joey! Don�t leave me like this!
Come back to me, Joey! I love you! Please, come back to me! Please, please��
�� I look up
into Serenity�s brown eyes. �Mommy killed Jojo! Mommy killed Jojo!�
�� Serenity
hugs me tighter. She whispers into my ear, �Come back to me, Joey. Come back to
me!�
�� I brush a
tear from my face. �Siren, we can�t stay here,� I hiss urgently, �We have to
leave! We have to go far away where even the hounds of hell can�t track us! We
can�t stay with them! They�ll kill us too!�
�� What is
going on with Joey?� asks Yugi biting his lower lip in worry.
�� Joey is
stuck in a past memory! It happens from time to time when they get particularly
upset!� exclaims Serenity, �Normally, they�ll just snap out of it in a few minutes.�
She turns her attention back to me. �Joey? Please, come back to me.�
�� I throw my
head back and scream at the top of my lungs, �Siren!�
�� Fear grips
my heart as I hear Serenity reply, �Joey?�
�� Jono!� My
voice, even to my ears, sounds more like a howl than a scream. I take a deep
breath and squeeze Serenity in my arms. I look at my little sister and pull her
even closer to me. �Yeah. Yeah� I�m back. Thanks, sister.�
�� What kind
of a sister would I be if I didn�t help you out when you needed it most?� asks
Serenity sobbing onto my shoulder, �I was so scared! One day you might not come
back to me!�
�� It�s okay.
It�s okay. Cry all you need to, but you don�t have to. I�m alive. We�re both
alive,� I say rubbing Serenity�s back to comfort her, �I saved our brother if
you remember? He�s right in here.� I place Serenity�s hand over my heart.
�� Yes.�
Serenity nods and wipes her eyes.
�� What the
hell is going on?� asks Seto with a demanding voice.
�� My face
heats up and I scratch the back of my head nervously. �Well, you see, I have
MPS, Multiple Personality Syndrome, and once in awhile one of my other
personalities will take over and get themselves stuck in a time loop.�
�� What the
hell is going on?� repeats Seto.
�� I look to
see him still on his knees not far from me. I sigh. �This is what Lady Raven
told me about that day of the carnival. I�d never believed her predictions
before, but they always came true. I guess now it is time for Serenity to
choose��
�� Between a
sister and a brother?� whispers Serenity. She shakes her head and continues, �I
can�t. Let Seto choose, but you must tell him everything first.�
�� Maybe we
should go back to the hotel so that Joey can change out of those wet clothes,�
suggests Mokuba, �Otherwise he might get really sick. It is starting to get
chilly out here.�
�� Forget the
hotel. Home is much closer,� I say standing up and dragging Serenity to her
feet with me.
�� What are
you talking about, mutt?� asks Seto, �The mansion is no where near here!�
�� I didn�t
say your mansion was,� I say, �I said home was closer. We could probably walk.
It�s just a few blocks away.�
�� We�d be
best to take my limo,� says Pegasus, �I believe we would all fit inside.�
�� I walk over
to Seto and hold out my hand, which he seemingly reluctantly takes to help
himself to his feet. I keep my grip on his hand and pull him towards the limo.
As I pass Pegasus, I see him pull his hair back to reveal a bright gold earring
to my eyes, and I nod my head in understanding. I get to enter into the Gold
Room for the first and possibly the last time. I smile.
