Authoress� Notes: I know, I
know. What took so long?! Forgive me, my readers! I apologize.
I don�t believe in such things as writer�s block, but I think I may have
come really damn close with this fic. But I�m back!
And believe me, there�s going to be some unexpected plot twists coming
up�and some not-so-unexpected ones, too!
~_^ Therefore,
I�m moving right along with this one�preparing the way for the next year at Domino University! *cheers*

Disclaimers: Caitlin and I
don�t own Yu-Gi Oh! I think lawyers everywhere have better
things to do than trying to sue a student (and her hikari)
living below the poverty line, yes?

Warnings: The usual.

Chapter 9 � Rainy Daze
******************************

�And painful pleasure
turns to pleasing pain.�
� Edmund Spencer, The Faerie Queen Book III, CX, IX

The next several weeks were a flurry of activity for
the group. Returning to classes (with
midterms and papers to worry about � and then final exams rapidly approaching)
took up much of what free time Yugi, Ryou, Malik, Joey, and Tristan had. Duke Devlin and Seto Kaiba each had their
companies to run also, on top of their classes.
Ishizu and Isis were busy with the museum, as usual.
During this time, too, Tea found a job teaching
little kids to dance. After her first
few pay-checks, she and Serenity went out to hunt for an apartment for
Tea. She was quite excited to find a
nice, affordable one not far from not only Yugi and Yami�s building, but Ryou
and Bakura�s, also. The group took one
weekend off to have a congratulations/welcome home/housewarming party for Tea.
As for Kala, when Mai returned two weeks after they�d
left Hawaii,
she returned home alone. Kala, it
seemed, had decided to stay in the States with her sister, and finish her
courses there. There were several
international phone calls and farewell emails exchanged when Mai broke the news
to everyone. Even Kaiba had sent her a
polite email wishing her well.
Once classes ended, things quietened down a bit. Malik went to work at the museum with Marik
tagging along, helping his sister and her yami with new exhibits. Yugi and Yami went back to help out Solomon
Motou at the Game Shop over the summer (though they spent their weekends at
heir apartment). Duke worked on adding a
new dimension of game play to his Dice Monsters game. Tristan worked as a lifeguard at a public
swimming pool, and Serenity volunteered at one of the public libraries near
Mai�s house. Ryou and Bakura ended up
flying off to wherever Ryou�s father was working on a dig to visit him. Mai made frequent journeys abroad to compete
in tournaments every now and then (though she mostly enjoyed working on her
suntan out by the pool in her backyard).
And since Kaiba was doing what he always did �
running his company � that left Joey with nothing to do out of the group of
friends.
To make matters more complicated for the blonde,
tensions were building up around the house between himself and Mai. School had kept them apart a great deal but
that had ended in mid-April. By June,
with Joey home almost all the time, the two were beginning to get on one
another�s nerves.
The final straw came one night when Mai came
downstairs, all decked out as if she were going out somewhere. Joey was home, as usual, and was in the
living room watching TV and waiting for Tristan to bring Serenity home from
their date.
He looked up as Mai came breezing in and asked him,
�Joey, have you seen my keys?�
�Uh�in the kitchen by the phone.� He replied, staring at her for a moment in
surprise. �Wow, Mai�what�s the
occasion?�
�Oh, not much. I�m just going out.� She smiled and walked toward the kitchen,
balanced perfectly on her high-heeled shoes.
�On a date.�
She added over her shoulder as she disappeared from view.
It took a full minute for that to sink in and when it
did, Joey felt a small sting of jealousy and was up off the couch and chasing
after her.
�A date!? Mai�?!�
�Relax, Joseph.
You even know him�Duke Devlin.�
Mai dangled her keys in front of him and wiggled her fingers in a
wave. �It�s nothing serious. I�m just attempting to have a social life
again.�
�Devlin?� That flattened Joey for a moment. �But�� he stopped himself and shook his head
wryly. �Sorry, Mai. I just�yeah.�
Her eyes softened and she went to him to give him a
hug. �I know. Joey, I�ll always be your Mai, but I need to
get on with my life.� She gave him a
quick peck on the cheek. �And so do
you. I happen to know a certain CEO
that�s available��
�A blind date?� Joey laughed and shook his head. �You�re something else, Mai.�
�Well�not a totally blind date. And I
wouldn�t e the one to set you up with him.�
Mai winked and headed for the front door. Joey hurried after her.
�Wait a minute� �he?�� Joey squeaked. �You�re not talking about Kaiba are you?�
�Joseph, the fact that you know I�m talking about Kaiba is extremely telling.� She laughed at his dumbfounded expression and
watched him turn a dull red in embarrassment.
�You two have been eyeing each other sine before you and I even
met. You like him, Joey.�
�I do not. He�s an arrogant, selfish, stuck-up,
know-it-all bastard.� Joey scowled,
planting his hands on his hips indignantly.
�Me interested in him?
He~ll, no. Not in 5,000 years.�
Grinning now, Mai opened the door and said over her
shoulder as she strode out to her car, �It�s been 5,000 years, hasn�t it?
Think about it Joey�and don�t wait up!�
Still scowling, Joey went back inside and flopped on
the couch, grumbling to himself.
For the rest of the evening, Joey couldn�t help
thinking about what Mai had said and the entire situation in general. The conclusion he came to was that he was
going to have to move out.
�It�ll be better if I do. Mai�s right�we both need to get on with our
lives. And I can�t stay here with her
forever and be a third wheel when she�s trying to have a relationship
again.� Joey did feel a small pang at
that, but it had reduced to just that � a mild pang, no longer the gut
wrenching ache it had been at first.
�Step number one: get a job. Step number two: find an apartment for
Serenity and I.� He grabbed a notepad
and a pen, and began creating a list of things to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time Serenity got home, Joey had a plan of
action all prepared. When he heard the
front door open, he pushed himself up off the couch and sauntered out to the
foyer to greet his oldest friend and his little sister.
�Hey, guys!
Have a good date?� He inquired,
smiling when they sprang apart and Serenity blushed a
little. �Oops! Sorry.
Didn�t mean to interrupt��
�Joey! Cut it
out!� She admonished at his teasing
tone.
�Heh. Sorry, sis.
I can�t help it. Listen, I have
something to talk to you about.� He
stuck his hands in his pockets, and grew serious. �Hang around, Tris, if you want. I could use your thoughts, too.�
Tristan looked at him questioningly and nodded. �Sure.
What�s up?� the
brunette and Serenity followed Joey back to the kitchen, where the blonde dug
around in the fridge for sodas for them.
For the next hour, Joey explained his plan and
reasons for wanting to do it, then waited patiently
for any questions or comments.
�Wow, man. It
sounds like you�ve really thought about this.�
Tristan observed. �You�re sure
this is what you want?�
Joey nodded.
�Yes. I need to get a job anyway,
but this makes it more important that I do it.
I want Mai to be happy and to be able to live her life free of old
ties. She deserves it.� He looked at his sister. �But its not only my
decision. It�s yours, too, Serenity.�
She got up and went over to hug him tightly. �Big brother, I will go wherever you
do.� Serenity gave Joey a quick kiss on
the cheek and let him pull her down into his lap and envelope her in a hug.
�Thanks, Serenity.�
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was nearing the end of June, and Joey was still
unable to find a job that would pay him enough to allow himself and Serenity to
move out and live on their own . Normally, he wouldn�t
have been that picky, but with his baby sister to look after and with another
year of classes only two months or so away, Joey�s options were limited.
It really didn�t help that the positions he did find
all required previous experience or suitable references � neither of which Joey
had, really.
Yami and Yugi both offered to hire him to work at the
Game Shop, but Joey refused, his pride only allowing him to prove he could get
employment on his own and not be indebted to the charity of his friends.
And so, on a rainy, dismal and chilly summer day,
Joey found himself outside the one place he�d never expected to find himself.
Kaiba Corp�s main headquarters.
Huddling further into his jacket and wishing he�d had
the presence of mind to bring an umbrella with him that day,
Joey gripped the newspaper he held in one hand and gathered himself to go
inside and ask to speak with the person in charge of the department the ad in
said newspaper had advertised. It was a
modest job testing new gaming technology that the company produced on a regular
basis. The ad had requested someone with
at least some provable skill with duelling, and Joey figured he had that requirement covered easily.
However, until then, he�d put off going to inquire
about the position for the simple fact that he would, in essence, be working
for someone he considered the bane of his existence � Seto Kaiba. And the Gods forbid that Kaiba should learn
that he was working for him.
Joey would never hear the end of that, and any
smidgen of respect he had ever managed to earn from Kaiba, he just knew he
would instantly lose it.
Shivering, Joey looked down at the newspaper, then up
at the building, then down at the newspaper again as he fought an internal
debate, doubt plaguing him once more.
With all the rejections he�d faced lately, his self-confidence was
already at an all-time low, and he wasn�t sure how he could handle another if
things didn�t go well � especially from this place. He was so absorbed in his internal dilemma
that he didn�t notice a limo pulling up to the curb a few feet away, nor the
dark-haired teenaged boy that stepped out onto the sidewalk with an umbrella to
shield himself from the steady downpour.
�Joey? Hey, Joey!� Mokuba
Kaiba called, walking over to his rain-soaked friend. �What are you doing out here in this
weather? And without
an umbrella?�
The blonde froze, looking down at the youngest Kaiba
brother in shock and sudden panic. How the hell was he going to explain this
one?
�Uh�hey, Mokuba! Wasn�t expecting to see you today�how�s it
goin�?� He managed to reply weakly,
hoping the youth wouldn�t notice. No
such luck � he was Seto�s brother,
after all.
Mokuba eyed him suspiciously. �I�m fine, but you�re obviously not. Come on, Joey. Let�s go inside so you can at least get dry
before you catch a cold or something.�
�Oh, well�I�m fine.�
He sneezed, ruining his intended effect.
�I mean, you must be busy, and��
�Nah. I always come to spend the afternoon with
Seto when I have free time � and now that school�s done for summer, I have lots
of time. So, come on! At least come in and have some tea,
Joey. Please?�
Joey could never say no to those big, pleading, dark
blue-grey eyes that were so full of innocence and so unlike his older
brother�s. With a deep sigh, the blond
caved and let the kid lead him into the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mokuba led him into a large, spacious room that
appeared to be an oversized living room.
�Where are we, �Kuba?� Joey asked, looking around in awe at the
obvious wealth the room displayed as he shrugged out of his soaked jacket.
�Oh! We�re in
my brother�s penthouse suite. He has it
here for those nights he doesn�t make it home from work before midnight. The washroom�s right through that door, Joey,
if you want to dry off.� Mokuba
pointed. �There are towels in there, too. I�ll go dig and see if I can find you a set
of clothes so you can change out of those wet ones.�
�You don�t have to�� Joey began to protest but Mokuba
ignored it and disappeared through another door. He sighed in resignation and went into the
washroom to dry off.
A few moments later, as Joey was struggling to get
his thoroughly soaked shirt off over his head, a knock at the door nearly gave
him a heart attack from surprise.
�Hey, Joey! I have some clothes for you!� Mokuba�s voice came through the door and the
blonde poked his head out.
�You didn�t have to�� he began again, but Mokuba
shook his head firmly.
�No, Joey. I
don�t want you to get sick, so please just take these and put them on. They may not fit perfectly, since they�re my
brother�s old ones, but they should be good enough to get home in.� The dark haired teen shoved the bundle into
the blonde�s hands and closed the door on him.
Oh Gods�I hope
Kaiba doesn�t see me wearing his stuff.
If he finds me here in the first place he�ll probably sic those gorillas
in suits he employs on me, and that�s bad enough! Joey stared at himself in the mirror, his
face sheet white at the thought. The
clothes he�d been given were a simple pair of black cotton pants, and a faded
black turtle-neck sweater � both were a little baggy on him in places. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying
to get the water out of his blonde locks.
Then he used a towel to keep trying to dry it, stepping back out into
the living area.
�Hey, Mokuba�� he said, the towel in front of his
eyes blocking his view of the room. �I�m
not so sure I should be up here. I mean,
your brother will probably through a conniption fit if
he finds me here.�
�I do not
have conniptions.� The answer came not
from Mokuba, but a voice Joey knew all too well and immediately froze his
blood. The blonde fumbled with the towel
in his haste to get it off his head, and stared in horror at Seto Kaiba. The CEO sat on the plush leather couch,
looking totally at ease there with his arms resting stretched out on either
side of him across the back of the couch, and one leg crossed over the other�s
knee casually. He was watching Joey
coolly with amused, ice-blue eyes and a faint smirk on his face.
But what really
freaked Joey out most was that he was alone with Kaiba.
Mokuba was no where in sight.
�Uh�I was just�your brother�it�s raining�� Joey
babbled incoherently. He�d gone sheet
white before, but was now turning a bright shade of red as he quickly bent to
scoop up the towel he�d dropped.
�Yes. I
know. Mokuba told me he�d found you out
front on the street like a soggy, wet, stray puppy.� The smirk spread. �Feel better now that you�re dry, Wheeler?�
�I�m fine. I
was fine. Your brother wouldn�t take no
for an answer.� Joey twisted the towel
in his hands, looking around the room � anywhere else to avoid meeting his
nemesis� unreal eyes. They were
completely unnerving, especially since they were alone, which Joey wasn�t used
to. It happened very rarely, as Yugi or
Yami, or Mokuba, or someone was
usually around to buffer (referee) the two clashing personalities.
There was a moment of silence as Kaiba observed the
other duellist with carefully disguised interest. Joey, he decided, looked�good in his
clothes. The blonde was wearing an old
pair of his pants with an old shirt that was severely faded. Realizing he was staring, Kaiba broke the
silence first.
�Mokuba has a big heart. He never could resist bringing home stray
animals when he found them.� Kaiba held
up a hand to prevent the instant outburst he could see forming in Joey�s
honey-brown eyes at being likened to a stray dog. �Relax, Wheeler. It�s just an observation, not an insult. He was always bringing home stray kittens or
dogs. Gozoboro never let him keep them,
though.�
Joey scowled.
�Whatever. Look, tell Mokuba I
appreciate his � your � hospitality.
I�ll just�get out of your way.�
He grabbed the plastic bag with his wet clothes and went to the door to
put on his shoes. �And don�t worry about
your clothes, Kaiba. I�ll have them
laundered before I return them.�
Kaiba blinked and stood up slowly. �Where are you running off to? And forget about the clothes, Mutt. Keep them.
I have plenty.� He walked over to
Joey sedately, wondering at the blonde�s apparent haste to get away from
him�though not wondering at the same time.
It wasn�t like they got along at the best of times, after all.
�I�m getting out of your hallowed halls,
milord.� Joey informed him, voice
dripping with sarcasm, pulling on his shoes.
�Besides, I have things to do before I go back to Mai�s.�
Kaiba raised an eyebrow. � �Mai�s?� Don�t you mean home?�
Joey paused in tying his shoelace. When he spoke again, his voice was
strained. �No. I meant what I said. Excuse me.�
He stared at Kaiba�s throat when he stood up (still avoiding eye
contact) since the CEO was blocking the door now.
�I take it things aren�t going so well between you
two.� Kaiba said quietly. It didn�t sound like he cared one way or the
other, but the fact that he was even commenting on it confused Joey.
�Why are you so interested, money-bags?� Now he meat Kaiba�s gaze �
with a glare. �What do you
care?� A horrible thought crossed his
mind, and for some odd, unknown reason, he felt a sharp pang of hurt deep in
his chest. �Are you�interested in Mai?�
Kaiba just barely managed to restrain himself from a)
falling over in shock, and b) laughing his ass off at the very idea. Instead, he just snickered and replied,
�Hell, no. She�s an excellent duellist,
and she�s beautiful, but so not my
type.�
Really confused now (and inexplicably relieved),
Joey�s scowl morphed into a frown of confusion.
�Then why?�
�Because, Joey Wheeler, when you get found outside my
building in this dismal weather looking like you�ve
lost Yugi and Taylor
ran off with your sister, then I get
curious.� Kaiba stated succinctly. Not to
mention concerned. He added
silently. Though I don�t know why.
Joey face-vaulted. �I hope he didn�t put it like that.�
�No. I�m putting
it like that. So?�
�It�s nothing.
Just a bad day, that�s all.� Joey
hedged. He really didn�t want to tell Kaiba he�d been about to come in and
apply for a job at Kaiba Corp.
Kaiba just looked at him, as if to say, �Right.� in
that disbelieving tone of his. �Try
again.�
�Look, it�s none of your business, Kaiba. If you�d let me pass, I�ll be out of your way
and you won�t have to worry about it. So
if you don�t mind�� Joey tried to move around him, but Kaiba stood impassively
and in the way.
�No, you look, Joey.�
Kaiba shook his head and became quite serious. �My brother was really worried about
you. Normally, I wouldn�t make it my
business, but if I don�t find out what�s wrong with you, Mokuba will never let
me hear the end of it, and I�d rather have my peace and quiet � not to mention
I don�t want him constantly worrying about you.
So I�ll ask again: what�s going on with you?�
Joey slumped and kicked off his shoes again. �Fine. I�ll tell you all of it�but can we sit? It could take awhile, and frankly, I�m
tired.�
Kaiba nodded and followed him over to the couches,
where they sat.
�Where is �Kuba, anyway?� Joey asked.
�I sent him to run some errands for me so I could go
home early with him tonight.�
�Oh.� Joey
stared at his hands in his lap. He�d
hoped Mokuba would be coming back soon so that he would have an excuse to be
interrupted (or not talk to Kaiba at all).
Kaiba studied the bent blonde head with a frown. This wasn�t like Joey at all. The usual energy he normally displayed just
seemed to be gone from the other man, and despite himself, Kaiba began to feel
more than just a little concerned about him.
Just a little.
�I was out looking for a job when I ran into
Mokuba.� Joey finally said in a low
voice. �I decided that Serenity and
I�that it was time we moved on to a place of our own and to give Mai her life
back � her space.�
�Uh huh. That�s probably a good idea. You should both try to move on with your
lives.�
Joey got up and began to pace, forgetting for the
moment who he was talking to and where he was completely. �That was the general idea. But�I can�t afford an apartment yet, not
unless I get work somewhere that will pay me enough � and still keep me on when
I go back to classes in the fall.
Serenity deserves a solid home, for once in her life. I�m trying my best, but�� Joey made a
frustrated, growling sort of noise.
�I�ve been trying for weeks! But
everywhere I go, all I get is the same thing: �You don�t have enough
experience,� or �You�re a student, and we need someone fully devoted to the
job.�� He snorted angrily. �Like I wouldn�t do my best or work hard
enough just because I�m in university.
What do they think we do there, anyway?�
Kaiba sat back and tuned out Joey�s rant for a
moment, putting together the bits and pieces to see the whole picture. So
something must have happened to prompt him to want to move out � and of course
he�s taking Serenity with him � and because he hasn�t worked or whatever, he
can�t seem to find a job so that they can move out. The brunette shook his head wryly. There were a few things that didn�t quite add
up, however; the biggest question still being that he still hadn�t explained
why he was outside of Kaiba Corp.
�Let me get this straight�� Kaiba interrupted the
blonde�s rant, holding up a hand. �You
want to move out to a decent place with your sister, but you don�t have a job �
despite your best efforts to try and get one � so you can�t afford to move�and
basically you�re all depressed and pathetic because your pride is hurt and you
feel like a lousy big brother, and that Serenity is very disappointed in you.�
Joey stared at him, surprise clearly written on his
face. �Uh�yeah.�
�I see. Can I
ask a couple questions just to clarify some things?�
Blinking, Joey nodded slowly. �I guess so.�
�Okay. To
begin with, what prompted the whole foray into the working world in the first
place?� Seto raised an eyebrow. �I know you well enough to know if you don�t have to do something, then you won�t.�
Joey gave him a mild scowl. �I�m going to ignore the fact that you just
called me �lazy� in a round-about way.�
He flopped down next to Kaiba, mind drifting back to the night he�d
decided to move out. �Mai�started dating
again.� He gave a heavy sigh and the
whole tale came pouring out.
Kaiba listened, not saying a word. As Joey spoke, he began to understand the
blonde in a way he hadn�t before. And
suddenly Kaiba�s thoughts turned in a direction he wasn�t sure he was, for one
thing, comfortable with � not to mention that he was really unsure about why he had a sudden urge to help Joey somehow.
When Joey had fallen silent, head lowered as he
stared at his feet in shame and self-pity, Kaiba sighed and ran a hand through
his hair. He sincerely wished hat Yugi
and/or the Pharaoh were here and not him.
He didn�t know how to do this sympathetic friendship comfort thing.
But then, he was Seto Kaiba, and just because he
didn�t know how to do something didn�t mean he wouldn�t try.
�Putting it all together, I think I see why Mokuba
found you outside in the rain, Mutt.�
Though he used his usual name for Joey, there was none of the usual
scorn or even teasing in his voice. �I
take it you were going to swallow all your pride and apply for that product
testing position we�d recently posted an ad for in the newspaper.�
Joey swallowed hard, really feeling about as low as
he could possibly get. Unable to deny
it, since that�s exactly what he�d been about to do, he could only reply,
�Yes. I thought�maybe even if I don�t
have a lot of work experience or anything, my reputation as a duellist would
give me an edge over other candidates�� Joey explained,
a touch of bitterness in his voice. He
refused to look at the other man, fearing Kaiba�s inevitable crushing put-downs
and scathing remarks. Actually, he was a
little shocked the cold brunette hadn�t said anything of that nature yet, and
Joey was almost afraid to wonder why.
�Pretty lame reasoning, right? I
mean, who cares if I can duel passably well.�
�Are you always this self-depreciating? Lame?� Now Kaiba scoffed. �You really are a dumb mutt, Wheeler. At least 2/3 of the people who apply for the
job will barely be able to play �Go fish� let alone hold their own in a
duel. Now you may be pathetic in a duelling
arena � compared to me of course � but I�ll give you this much: you can more
than hold your own in a duel.�
Joey�s jaw dropped open and he stared at Kaiba,
speechless.
�Cut that out, Joey.
You look ridiculous.� The CEO
grumbled, pink staining the bridge of his nose.
�You�ll never measure up to my level of skill, after all, but even I
have to admit you don�t get as far as you have without some skill � and an unnatural plethora of pure luck.�
�Hey�� Joey protested weakly, still stunned at what,
coming from Seto Kaiba, was a supreme compliment.
Kaiba smirked, pleased with himself. At
least he�s not wallowing in self-pity anymore.
I�d rather have him arguing and angry at me than that. A depressed Joey is unnatural. He pushed himself to his feet and walked over
to the expanse of glass windows, staring out at the rain. �Listen, Mutt, if you apply, you have a
pretty good shot at being chosen and hired.�
He glanced back over his shoulder at the blonde. �And before you start sputtering about
charity, forget it. You know I wouldn�t
say it if I didn�t mean it. I�m just
giving you my honest opinion based on what I know about you and your skills � which is about the same the manager of that
department would know about you after an interview. Plus, I know your duelling skill.� He looked back out at the rain. �My advice would be to get your r�sum� down
there ASAP.�
�I�you�why?� Joey finally asked quietly. He would never
understand this complex, blue-eyed High Priest.
�Because I felt like it.� Kaiba replied blithely. At Joey�s growl of annoyance, he chuckled and
continued more seriously. �And because I
remember being a big brother trying to do what I could for my little brother so
he would never have to.�
Joey smiled and got up, joining his arch-nemesis at
the window. They both stared out at the
rain for a while in silence, until Joey spoke again.
�It�s tough being the big-brother � but it�s worth
it.�
�As long as Mokuba is happy and healthy, then so am
I.�
�Ditto for Serenity and I.�
For the first time in their long, tumultuous history,
Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba shared a moment of agreement and understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two minutes after Joey had walked out the door,
following Mokuba down several floors to the appropriate department so he could
fill out an application and hand in a r�sum�, Kaiba went into his office and
picked up the phone to call the production testing manager.
�It�s Kaiba.�
He said when the manager answered.
�An application for the testing position is going to come across your
desk in the near future from a Joey Wheeler.
Be sure you give him considerable consideration for the job, but treat
him no differently than you would the other applicants.�
�Joey Wheeler, sir?�
Kaiba ignored the startled recognition of Joey�s name.
�That�s right.
And if you find yourself unimpressed with his references, keep in mind
that I am one, also � though my name
won�t be listed. Understood?�
�Crystal clear, sir.�
Satisfied that he�d done his good deed for the week
(at least), Kaiba hung up the phone and couldn�t stop smiling a little ruefully
at himself.
�I hope you�re happy, Yugi. I�ve finally cracked.�
******************************
Authoress� Notes: So I don�t know if I spelled
�Gozoboro� correctly�someone want to let me know if I did or not? Thanks!
And I know I�ve said it before, but I�m on a roll with this one. I fully expect to be finished it soon, since
after the posting of this chapter, I have at
least the next three chapters already written up and in need of typing. So stay tuned� Please
