Chapter nine

“All rise”
Jou sat there in shock, numb to the rest of the world. If it hadn’t been for the firm tug on his elbow he never would have moved.

Aside from his friends, the entire court room was filled with his ex johns. Even his father lawyer! He was the worst john Jou had ever encountered. A cold sweat broke out all over his body.

“Don’t worry Jou everything is going to be fine.”

Jou took in a shaky breath and smiled at Bakura. ‘Yes everything is going to be fine.’

###an Hour later###
Jou felt as though he was trapped in a bad dream, everything was turning out wrong!

All the witnesses that were called to the stand were lying through their teeth. All the evidences that they had collocated from the crime scene had either been contaminated or disappeared.

His father had even cried on the stand while giving the judge some sob story making the judge throw hatful glares at Jou.

The only thing that’s gave Jou any shred of hope was Bakura. Jou was positive even the most experienced attorneys would have crumpled under the pressure but not Bakura. No matter how many tricks they pulled Bakura held up a Strong defense.

Jou clutched Bakura’s hand under the table. Taking deep breaths as he heard one of his ex-johns tell the judge Jou’s father had been a great father to him.

“He kept him in school, helped him out of a gang. you know ever since Jou was a little boy he always needed attention. That’s probably why his parents slit up in the first place. That kid has caused nothing but trouble since the day he was born.”

Jou quickly grab Bakura’s arm. He could feel the violent energy radiating off of his friend.

“Its ok Kura let him talk.”

“That beast deserves to have his tongue cut out.” He said through clenched teeth.

“Your witness.”

Jou head whipped around to look at the Judge when had his father friend step down.

"Mr. Bakura. Call your next witness.”

Bakura stood up slowly. And he fixed the judge with a cold stare; Jou would swear on his red eyes black Dragon that the room temperature had drop six degrees.

“Yes your honor. I would like to call to the stand Jounouchi Katsuya.”

Jou felt his stomach sink to the floor.

“Bakura what are you-“

“trust me.”

Jou nodded and stood up. Praying that his wobbly legs would support him long enough to get to the witness stand.

While he was being sworn in, he felt his father hungry gaze on his body. Jou tried to calm his racing heart as he look directly into his father’s eyes. Why did he have a huge bandage on his nose?

He couldn’t breath; he felt thought the walls were closing on him. Black spot dance in front of his eyes. His father smirked at him and started rubbing himself while he mouthed the word ‘whore’.

The room started to spin out of control. He Grabbed onto the railing praying that would stop the room from spin but it only made it spin faster and faster.

Bakura gently treaded his fingers through his friend hair. “Jou are you ok?”

The only answer he received was the disgusting sound of Jou emptying out his stomach.

“Order, Order in the court room!” the judge slammed her hammer on her desk. After half the courtroom begun to laugh while the others cringed. “Mr. Bakura!”

Bakura was careful helping Jou stand when he slowly turn. “Yes, your honor?” Careful to keep his temper under control. Damn his promise to Ryou. If he had had it his way, That Bastard of a father would never see the light of a next day.

“I suggest you get your client under control.”

“Yes your honor. May we request a short recess so my Client may have time to compose himself?”

The Judge looked at the young trembling young man. He was a younger, slimmer and more beautiful version of the blond god in front of her. She saw how utterly miserable and embarrass he looked and felt a wave of sympathy for him. “Request granted, this court will go into a fifteen minute recess.” She slammed her hammer again and went into her chamber.

A low murmuring filled the room as everyone began to leave.

“Jou are you alright?”

“Bakura I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to-”

Bakura smiled. “It’s ok Jou. Don’t worry about it. We can fix this but we can’t let it happen. You understand this right?”

“Yes.”

“Good lets get you Cleaned up.” Bakura said as he started to lead Jou to the bath room.

“Umm… Bakura?”

“Yes Jou?”

“I don’t mean to sound rude but... could I be alone for a while.”

“Of course.” Bakura nodded and held the door open for him. “If you need me I’ll be right down the hall.”

“Thank you, Bakura.”

Bakura gave Jou his most Devilish Smile. “Here.” He said as he tossed Jou a Small pack of Breath mints.

Jou blushed and looked his friend. “That bad?”

“No. I’m just expecting a very big reward for doing all this, and those are going to make you nice and minty of me.”

At Jou Blush, Bakura couldn’t help but laugh and kiss his cherry colored cheek. “I’ll come and get when we have to go back. Just clean up as best as you can.” Bakura said as he walked away from the men’s room leaving Jou alone with is thoughts.

Jou quickly rinsed out his mouth and slashed his face with cool water. When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, He completely broke down. There was no way he could do this! He wouldn’t be able to beat his father. They had lost all the evidences all their proof. By this time next week he will be locked up in some dungeon being beaten and raped.

Heavy sobs force they way out of his body as he trembled all over.

“Click”

the light suddenly went out leaving the whole room pitch black another Click was heard and Jou knew he was lock in with a stranger.

“What do you want?”

“Why are you letting them intimidate you?”

Jou felt his heart lift and fly into the sky. “Dragon… Is that really you?” instead of the answer he expected her felt to long arms wrap around him along with the powerful scent of his cologne. “Dragon!” Jou gratefully wrapped his arms around his protector and clung to him as though he was the only thing that would keep him afloat in this sea of confusing.

“You have yet to answer my question puppy. Why are you letting him win?”

“Dragon I can’t win. He-” Jou said through tears.

“Why not?”

“I just can’t face him…I can’t he, he, his to much. I can do this.”

“You can.” He grabbed Jou by the shoulders. “And I can help you. But you must open they way. Jou this might be your last chance. I can’t save you again.” He felt Jou stiffen. Being so harsh with his love was heart wrenching. But they both needed it. They needed Jou to be strong. He needed to become that hard, strong street punk that he had fallen in love with. He needed to know if his puppy could still bite.

“Dragon.”

“The Choice is yours.” Seto said before he gently covered his lips with Jou’s. Putting all the fear and hope into that kiss. Gently messaged Jou’s shoulders. “Make the right one.” He whispered in his loves ear loving the way he slightly trembled.

“Jou?” there was a slight knock on the door. “We have to go.”
There was a small click and Bakura found his arms filled with the slightly shocked Blond.
“Jou are you ok.” Bakura asked
Jou stared at the Bathroom door for a second before he turned his golden eyes back onto his friend. “I don’t know.”
“Jou we need to go back into the courtroom. Can you handle it?”
“I … yes let’s go.”
Bakura nodded and started to lead his friend back to the courtroom well aware of the blue eyes that stalked them.

Jou quickly retook his place on the stand and took a deep Breath. ‘Let’s this all work please.’
“Mr. Jounouchi… Jou, would you please tell the court how your life was with your father.” Bakura asked
Jou slowly took a deep breath and started to slowly tell everyone his most disgusting and well hidden secret. By the time he was finished he was visibly trembling and thankful that his stomach was empty. He wanted to close his close and pretend that this wasn’t happening, that it would all go away and he was back in his safe hospital room with his strong dragon to taking care of him. That he hadn’t just told a room full a people what he had had to suffer the majority of his life.

Looking around the courtroom he saw Yugi’s large purple eyes swimming in tears as he clung to his Yami, and how Otogi was holding Honda down and how Marik rubbed Malik’s in hope to stop the tremors, and how Ryou had already bitten through his lip.

“So, your were constantly sold and raped by your father. Is that correct Jou?”

“Yes.” Jou said holding on to the last shreds of composure he had.

Anger and pain flashed thorough Bakura’s eyes. “Jou…no further questions.” He said as he walked back to his chair.

“Very well, your witness.” The judge said as she turned towards Jounouchi father’s attorney.

“Thank you your honor.” He said as he stood up smooth as silk each take reminding Jou of a deadly leopard stalking its prey.

“Mr. Jounouchi, Katsuya.” He said in almost a caressing purr. Jou felt the hairs rain on the back of his neck. “You said you have been suffering this kind of abuse from your father since you were, eight years old correct?

“Yes.”

“And during that whole time. It was against your will?”

“Yes.”

“Why didn’t you do anything about it.”

“I was eight years old.”

“That doesn’t explain why you didn’t try to stop it.”

“I didn’t know how.”

“So are you telling me, that no one ever explained to you? That if an adult tries to harm you can go to the police? Especially considering that they hold those kinds of talks in school. For, mostly, every grade, every year.”

“The schools do give us those talks.”

“Then why didn’t you ever call the police.”

“When I tried to he threatened that if I didn’t continue he would make my sister take my place.”

“And where is you’re your sister?”

“She lives with my mother out side of domino.”

“I see, why didn’t you tell your mother then?”

“I did once.”

“And?”

“She didn’t believe me.”

“Why didn’t she believe you?”

“I don’t know.”

“Could it have been because you were a member of a gang and
already having problems with the legal system?”

“It might have bee-“

“just answer the question yes or no.”

“I guess, yes.”

“So you could have been lying and only wanted a new location to help expanded your gang.”

“No!”

“Ok, so why wasn’t there any report to by any of your neighbors about abuse at the home? Hmm, Alot of men and women, coming and going from the house. A little boy’s screams? At all hours of the night. Should raise suspicion shouldn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Then explain how come there where never any reports.”

“Because…well, because.”

“Because you were never abuse by your father. And all this is just some cruel joke.”

“NO!”

“Your lucky you have such a kind and understand father that his willing to forgive you and take you back if you just admit that that is a twisted prank.”

“IT ISN’T!’ Jou nearly screamed as he stood up knocking his chair back. The strength and power and light magic reradiating off of him could defeat sun. “For more then half my I have been Raped and both physically and psychologically abused by him.
And the only reason they were never any abuse reports on my behalf was because my father sold me to keep their silences.” Jou smirked even as tears of rage started to run down his face.
“I’m not called the best whore in Japan for nothing, even if it’s not a title I’m proud of, I’ve earn it.”

“How can we trust the word of someone with a criminal pass?”

“I’m not ashamed of that part of my pass and I won’t lie I was part of a gang. But that should only sever as farther proof of how that man treated me. That I had to take the few precious moments of my day and run around getting into trouble beaten up and possible shot.”

“How can that serve farther proof?”

“I rather get killed or stay locked in a jail cell then be behind a closed door with him.”

“You still have no proof.”

“He doesn’t, but I do.”

Jou breath caught in his throat… his dragon. He looked over the attorney shoulder and felt the wind get knock out of his lungs. As his heart and mind tried to connect everything that was happening.

The man that he had secretly yearned for since the second he laid eyes on him was walking towards the bench. His beautiful blue eyes where hard with determination, His trademark White trench coat whipping around his long legs. But how come his dragon’s voice was coming out of his mouth?

“Your Honor my I approach the bench?”

“Certainly Mr. Kaiba?”

“Your honor I object. He is not listed for this trial.”

“I was a last minute addiction. Onto Mr. Bakura’s but my name is certainly written down.” He said ask he placed his steal briefcase on Bakura’s desk.

“Mr. Bakura please hand me your records.” The judge said as she never took her eyes off the blue eyes brunet.

Bakura compiled organizing his record when he felt a sharp charge of shadow magic run up his arm. ‘So the priest finally is using his powers, clever bastard.’

Quickly scanning the files she stopped when she notice Kaiba’s name written down.

“Mr. Bakura, why did you not inform of the change?”

“You had my records only moments before I thought you would have notice.”

Quickly forcing down the chuckle that wanted to bust out of his throat at her obvious discomfort. Bakura held his composer valiantly.

“I see, you may be seated.”

“Thank you, your honor.”

“Mr. Kaiba you said you had evidence to prove that accusations against Jounouchi senior. How can that be?”

“Because, I was the one that rescued Jou that night.”

A series of gasps and mummers ran through out the whole court room.

“Order, Order in the court.” The judge nearly yelled. “Be that as
it may.” The judge sneered at Kaiba “How could ‘you’ have any evidence.”

“Because that night my personal security team collected all the evidences along with a privately hired C.S.I team. We of course handed over all the evidence over to the proper authorities ‘after’ we had made copies for ourselves.” He said staring directly into Jou fathers eyes. Smiling at how the bandage on his face was starting to slip off due to sweat. “I also found over several letters directed to Jounouchi mother in which they talk about money exchange for her service of giving him publicity out side of domino.”

His mother knew Jou felt his heart crack even further. Was always just a piggy bank for them?

“I will need to view this in my private chambers she said as she picked up the box that Seto had given her. “This court is in recess for one hour.” She said as she slammed her hammer and walked out of the room.

Seto quickly rushed over to his puppy, who still seemed to be in shock. “Jou, pup are you ok?”

Jou silently walked out off the witness stand and stood face to face with Kaiba his eyes still slightly dazed. “It was you? The whole time, it was you?” his voice soft and dreamy.

“Yes, Jou it was me.”

***SMACK***

Seto’s eyes open wide in shock as he rubbed the red hand print that was forming on his face.

“That’s for lying to me. What were you thinking? You could have gotten hurt!” Jou said his usual street punk accent back. And so was the fire blazing in his eyes. Roughly grabbing Seto by his shirt collar pulled him closer. “And… this is for saving me.” He slowly rapped his long arms around Seto shoulders and stand on his toes to level there mouths he kissed him giving him all the pent up passion he had for the blue eyed C.E.O. slowly pulling away he stared deeply into his saviors eyes “And if you ever try to lie to me again.” He said slowly. “I’ll rip your heart out through your mouth, get it?”

That beautiful playful blaze had Seto heart melting. “I know.” Seto said as he gently rock Jou back and forth. “I know.” He kissed his beautiful puppy’s forehead. He smiled when he looked over his puppy shoulder and saw the geek squad and squashed a sigh of annoyance. They’re always there no mater how dark the situation they were always there to give their support. No matter how much he tried to find that a useless quality it was one he respected. Oh, well he might as well learn to accept it. If his puppy was a package deal he would gladly accept, geek squad and all. Taking a deep he prepared himself to talk to his ‘new best friends’ while he led his puppy out of the court room.

“Seto how much evidences did you give her?” Bakura asked. Once the complete set of yami’s sat in the shadows watching there beautiful lights warm themselves in the sun light.

“Everything I found. Don’t worry I have hard copies at the house and a copy on my laptop. I’m not stupid Bakura.” He said as pulled out his laptop to show Bakura the files.

“Will it be enough?” Yami asked eagerly.

He was cut off by Bakura’s whoop excitement. “Enough? We got enough dirt on him to bury him alive for his next twelve lives.” The cold blooded pleasure of being vicious rushed through his veins and was clear in his voice.

Seto felt the vicious pleasure rush through his veins as well. The beast would go the prison and never hurt his beautiful puppy again. Speaking of which he still had one very important task to complete.

“Atem will you watch Jou for me. I have… a personal matter that needs attending.”

“Of course, But what are you going to do?”

A very slick and dangers smile graced Seto lips as he spoke in clear and perfect from of their ancient langue. “I’m going to make the man that hurt what is mine suffer.”

He turned and walked deeper into the shadows.
