My Abused Puppy (Rewrite)

Chapter 3 - Part A

Joey was just walking with Mokuba, when he heard voices. They whispered to themselves as he passed an abandoned alley. Then, he heard a crash. A garbage can fell over and he saw a face he hoped to never see again. Ushio.

"Heya, Mutt-Whore. Still sellin' ya self, or do ya blow Kaiba for free?" Ushio asked, "Tha's bad for business, ya know." He walked closer to Joey as he stood still, his body frozen as memories cascaded him. "Ya listenin' ya slut, or are ya thinkin' of all the good times my father fucked ya in the ass."

Joey started to shake as he grabbed him, then a sound broke him out of his dazed state. Mokuba was screaming. They were hurting Mokuba. They would take him and... Soil him, just like me... No!

Joey grabbed Ushio and kneed his stomach. Joey then proceed to punch the teen holding Mokuba right in the face. Joey continued to defend Mokuba as they made their way through the large gang Ushio had. Until one grabbed Joey's arm and kept his grip, even after he kneed and kicked the man, he held his grip. Others grabbed onto Joey and held him down. Some of them turned to grab Mokuba, but he was already gone. He ran, that's good. Now, these perverted fucks won't touch Mokuba.

Ushio walked over to Joey, "Ya fuckin' Mutt-Whore, I will make ya pay for hittin' me like tha."

Ushio signaled for his men to lift Joey. Soon, he was baraged with hits, but none ever touched his face. Gotta look pretty for him. Huh. That is all Joey thought before Ushio hit his temple, knocking him right into unconsciousness.

Mokuba ran through the streets, terror running with each step he took. The fear surrounding the air around him and impregnating every person he ran past and controlling each action he took. I have to find big brother. I need Seto. Mokuba thought as he ran, getting closer and closer to the Kaiba mansion, where Kaiba was peacefully working in his room. Until Mokuba ran through his door.

"Brother! Joey!... Joey!..." Mokuba trialed off Joey's name continuously, unable to say he left Joey alone with people who had every intention of scarring his being more than it already was. Unable to say, he was a coward and ran, when he should have stayed and fought with Joey.

"Mokuba, what's wrong?" Kaiba asked, scared for his brother and noticing the mutt was missing from his brother's side. He will pay for it when the mutt finds his way home.

Mokuba couldn't say anything. He couldn't tell his brother, who had so many expectations on him to be brave, strong, and smart. He couldn't tell Kaiba that he failed a person when he was in need. He couldn't...

"Mokuba, tell me what is wrong," Kaiba said, quickly growing weary of Mokuba.

"Seto," Mokuba started, tearing up and his voice breaking, "I left him alone with those mean people."

Kaiba looked at his brother with a confused look. He didn't understand, was he talking about the mutt? If so, what and who are these meant people. "I'm sorry, Seto. I-I-I failed! I should have stayed! I shouldn't have ran from Joey! I shouldn't have left him with those people!" Mokuba wailed each word as his brother started to connect the words together.

Kaiba rose from his chair and lowered himself to his brother's level. He wrapped his arms around Mokuba and offered his shoulder to cry on. He let his brother sob into him and endure each wail that emanated from Mokuba.

He felt tears start to leave his eyes. Why am I crying? What are these tears for, who are these tears for?!?! Why won't they stop?! Kaiba wondered as he tried to make it stop, as he tried to make this pain in his chest stop. As he desperately tried to not cry into Mokuba. He bit his lip and allowed the few tears to flow, and he slowly detached Mokuba from his neck.
