My Property

Chapter 5


The fact that Jou had after school detention, again, gave Kaiba time to put his plan into action without Jou interfering. First, he had to gain legal guardianship of Jou. He couldn't afford to let Jou go to an orphanage. He had come from an orphanage himself and knew how terrible those places could be.

Getting legal guardianship of Jou would not be hard. His father was poor and an alcoholic. He would probably sell his son to him legally for a few thousand dollars. After Jou was secure, he would start on his revenge. The fact that Jou's father didn't mean anything to anyone would make it easy. Nobody would even miss the bastard once he was gone.

As the bell rang signaling for the end of the school day Kaiba closed his laptop and rushed out of the doors, eager to finally put his puppy's torment to an end. Just as he was about to leave the building the familiar blond mop of hair tried to rush by him. And, as always, the puppy hit his master and fell on his ass, wincing at the pain.

"Watch where you are going, mutt." Seriously, this was way too routine. Every day was like this. But Kaiba had a mind to change that after today.

"Ya jerk! Why do ya always bump inta me?!" His puppy really did look adorable when he was mad.

"You always bump into ME. So why don't you be a good dog and apologize to your master?" It was routine, but fun nonetheless.

"Buzz off ya cold-hearted, rich, S.O.B." Kaiba decided to torment Jou for one last time before he started being nice to him. He had to make this a good one. And evil thought crossed his mind, and even though he knew he would make his puppy suffer a little too much, he couldn't help himself.

Kaiba leaned in towards Jou until he was close enough to the other's ear, and whispered "I might be a cold-hearted, rich, S.O.B., but at least I'm not 'daddy's lil' whore.'"

Jou's eyes went wider than ever before. This was not happening. How could he have known? Set... er... Kaiba was the last person on the planet whom he wanted to know. Gods!!! What was he to do?

Tears started forming in Jou's eyes. He was speechless. He just wanted to go deep underground and burry himself and be forgotten to the whole world.

Kaiba mentally berated himself for hurting his puppy so much, but then decided that he would make it up to him later. With this thought, he turned around and left. After all, he had a bastard to skin alive.

Jou stood there for a few more moments, wanting nothing more than to disappear from the face of the planet. He soon snapped out of his thoughts and slowly made his way to the detention room.

Seto would never want him now. He knew that Jou was used. Jou was filthy. He felt so dirty. Tears formed in his eyes, but he suppressed them. No reason making himself more humiliated than he already was.

In the detention room, Jou just put down his head on his arms and quietly cried. Why wasn't he dead? Why was he even born?


Every man had his price. Kaiba just needed to find the older Jounouchi's, buy his puppy, make him forever his, and then dispose of the dead waste in the most painful way he thought possible.

Getting into his limo, he gave his driver Jou's address, telling him to drive him to the bank first, and then to the given address.

At the bank he pulled out $1,000,000 American, and put it in $100,000 in 10 different briefcases. Next, he called his guns and one of his best lawyers and told them to meet him at Jou's place, giving them the address. Even though he called his guns, they all had to be secretive because Kaiba did not need to be caught murdering a person.

As a matter of fact, he would have to wait for a while before he could do anything to Jou's dad to drive all suspicion away from himself.

When the limo came to its destination, Kaiba swiftly stepped out, motioning for his waiting guns and lawyer to come nearby. He gave four of his guns two briefcases each. He held the other two briefcases. He slowly took the stairs up to Jou's apartment on the fourth floor. The elevator was broken, but that made no difference to the CEO, he wouldn't trust the elevator in this place for anything.

He decided to take two of his guns that held no briefcases and his lawyer. The others would have to wait for his signals outside Jou's apartment. He roughly knocked on the door, and when no one came to answer, he tried to open the door himself and to his luck it wasn't locked.

The apartment was empty so he decided to wait. He motioned for all his guns and his lawyer to enter. While inside, he decided to examine Jou's apartment, soon to be Jou's ex-apartment. There were broken glass shards everywhere. The walls were all stained. The whole place smelled of alcohol and sex. There were things scattered everywhere.

Seto finally found one room that was fairly neat. It had a window looking towards a building, a mattress on the floor with sheets, that he supposed served as a bed, a picture of Jou's sister, Jou's deck, and a little pocket book.

Upon opening the pocket book, Seto found it to be a journal. From what was written inside, Seto could tell it was his puppy's journal. How adorable, the mutt kept a diary. He really did resemble a girl sometimes.

Opening the journal to the latter pages, he was surprised to find hand-drawn pictures of himself, naked. Trying to find a passage to read, he was glad to learn that his puppy loved him. But he was sad at Jou's pessimism. His puppy was so negative. Well, he would change that soon enough.

Just then, a loud noise came from towards the entrance. As Seto rushed out, he saw an older man in his fifties or so, drunk, trying to maintain his balance. He didn't notice that his apartment was occupied. Instead he was grunting something under his nose. It sounded something like "Stupid boy, don't have no money no mo."

That made Seto happy since it would make his job of buying out the guy much easier. As the man noticed the people occupying his living room, he grunted and roughly said "I don't have ya money if dat's wat u r here fo."

"No, that is not what I am here for. I am here to give YOU money." At this, the filthy man looked up, a glimmer in his eyes.

"U gonna giv me money?"

"Well, it's more like a business transaction. I want something of yours and in return I will give you $10,000, American."

Hearing this made the drunk smile even more. But before agreeing to anything, he asked "Wat do ya want from me. I hav nothin'"

"You have Jou." The older man was taken aback. He wanted the money but he also wanted his son.

"Jou is worth mo dan $10,000."

The other man seemed to want to negotiate. That was fine with Kaiba, he was good with negotiations. After all, he did run a worldwide company.

"Well, how much is he worth to you?" Kaiba really did want to make this fast.

"$100,000, American. Cash" he added quickly.

Kaiba was in no mood to argue. Besides he wanted his puppy and $100,000 for him was pocket money. Also, he was prepared to pay a million. "OK. You have a deal."

He opened one of his briefcases, showing the drunken man the money. Before the man could touch it, Kaiba pulled away the briefcase. Without wasting any time, his lawyer made him sign a couple of documents he had prepared at his employers request the night before, handing the legal guardianship of Jou over to Kaiba.

Kaiba was glad the deal was done. Now, he just needed to collect his puppy's (the word's sounded so much better since Jou was now legally his) belongings, which would be his deck, his diary, and the picture of his sister. Seeing nothing else that would be useful, Kaiba realized that he still didn't have a plan as to how tell Jou of everything that happened.
