All I want for X'mas is my Puppy
Chapter 6—Joey is Mrs. Kaiba
by YYY

"These files show that Ginoh had been using my company to laundry his illegal income." Seto says as he loads the files from his palm top to the Interpol commander's computer.

The commander makes a phone call to Tokyo. Afterward he says to Seto, "the Interpol officers at Tokyo are arresting Ginoh right now. Thank you so much for everything. Let's get back to Tokyo."

When they return to the Tokyo Harbour, they see a herd of police and reporters gathering at the Harbour.

"Mr. Kaiba! We had been after Ginoh for a really long time now! Thanks for finding the evidence we need!" The police say.

"Mr. Kaiba! Can we take a picture of you?" The reporters ask.

"What a welcoming party." Joey says.

"News travel fast in Tokyo. They must have heard that the Interpol arrested Ginoh. Now that Ginoh is arrested, they all come and try to get on my good side." Seto says, "it's funny to see all these people. Last night, when I ask them for help they refused to come; and now when Ginoh is gone, they're all hovering around me."

Joey wants to say something but the reporters push Joey away. "Mr. Kaiba! Can we do an interview with you?" The reporters ask.

The reporters and polices push Joey further and further away from Seto. One of the cameras hit Joey in the head. "I'm so sorry, I was just trying to get a better picture. Are you okay?" The cameraman apologizes to the blonde.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." Joey says as he moves away so the cameramen can get to Seto. Interpol agents, Tokyo policemen and TV reporters all gather around Seto. Joey doesn't even have a place to stand now.

"Mr. Kaiba, how does it feel to be the hero who take down the crime lord in Tokyo?" The reporters ask.

"I'm not the hero. The one who saved the girls is…" Seto tries to introduce Joey to the reporters, but Joey is gone.

"If you're looking for your boyfriend who-doesn't-know-he-is-your-boyfriend, he went home already." The commander says to Seto.

"Finally home." Joey says as he gets back into his apartment. He is hungry and tried but he decided to take a shower first. The hot water warms up Joey's cold body and makes Joey relaxes. After the shower, Joey heads to the bathtub.

Before Joey takes the bath, he sees a roll of bandages on the floor. Those are the bandages Seto got him at the fishermen store. Joey put those bandages in his pants pocket last night, and they fell out when he took off his pants.

(I wonder how Seto is doing. He must be surrounded by fan girls right now.) Joey thinks as he gets into the bathtub. He keeps his wounded leg above water so his gun wound won't be soaked.

Someone knocks on the bathroom door. Joey can tell who it is without asking. It must be his sister coming to yell at him. The news of Seto doing Fox and Hound with the Genyosha Yakuza last night are all over the televisions and radios. Serenity must have seen it and got mad because Joey and Seto lied to her last night.

"Come on in," Joey says, "I'm sorry, Serenity. I know I shouldn't have lie to you. I just didn't want you to worry."

The bathroom door opens and someone comes in, but that someone isn't Serenity. Seto comes in the bathroom and says, "Merry X'mas, puppy."

"Seto! How did you get into my apartment?" Joey says.

"I knock on the front door but no one answer. The door isn't locked so I let myself in." Seto says.

"Get out of here! I'm taking a bath!" Joey screams.

"But I don't want to get out. Wet puppy looks so adorable." Seto teases, "hmm, long."

"What's long?"

"Your leg. Very long and sexy." Seto smiles. Joey then remembers he has a leg above water.

The blonde throws his towel to Seto and grunts, "Stop teasing me! I hate you!"

"I hate you too. How dare you leave me at the harbour."

"Ginoh is arrested and you don't need me anymore. So I leave."

"You do that all the time. When I'm in danger, you'll come running and risk your life to help me. But when I'm not in trouble, you will rather go to hell then come to me. Does it ever occur to you that maybe I want to do something with you when I'm not in danger?" Seto says as he takes the bandages and wraps it around Joey's leg.

"I don't want to do anything with you."

"You don't? You seem to enjoy it when I hold you in my arms and kiss you senseless." Seto teases, "I can see your puppy tail wiggle when I kiss you."

"I don't have a tail!" Joey grunts, "this is why I don't want to do anything with you! You always making fun of me and try to get me upset"

"I'm sorry I keep teasing you. I can't stop myself. I used to tease you all the time when we were at High School it kind of become a habit of mine." Seto says, "you had tons of friends around you at school and they were all so nice to you all the time; you hardly looked at me. The only time I got your attention was when I make you mad."

"I looked at you plenty of time in class. I always thought you were quite good-looking. I just didn't let you know cause I don't want you to make fun of me." Joey says. Seto smiles and brushes Joey's wet blonde hair.

"Can I take a shower so I can get these underground-sewage and salty-seawater smell off me?" Seto asks.

"Sure." Joey says. Seto takes off his clothes and asks, "Are you looking at me now, mutt?"

Joey makes a face at Seto. Seto laughs and get into the shower.

"I never did thank you for saving my company. Sorry I got you shot at and trashed you taxi." Seto says while taking a shower.

"Don't worry about it. I don't really need the taxi anymore. I'm graduating and I'll go work for Rivera crops after the New Year."

"Oh no, you're not going to work for Rivera Crops."

"I'm not? Why?"

"Because you're going to work in Kaiba Crops."

"I'm not working for you!"

"I wasn't reading your economic reports and asking you questions about my company to flirt with you. I wanted to know how good you are. I want the best for finical executive for my company and from what I can see, you're the best." Seto says.

"I can't work for you, people will think I got the job because I'm your friend."

Seto gets out of the shower and says, "you're right. The other board members will not like it if I hire my friends. I know! I'll make you my wife."

"What?"

"It's natural for my wife to take care of my money matters. All wives take care of their husband's money. This work out great. I promised if you saved those girls, I'll give you half of my company. If you're my wife then half of my company belongs to you." Seto says.

"How can I be your wife? Don't be crazy!"

"I'm not crazy. I have been thinking about spending my life with you for the past 4 years. I don't want to waste time thinking about it anymore." Seto walks up to the bath and says to Joey, "You said you missed me when I was gone, right? Why not come with me? I wanted you by my side, I love you."

Joey is quiet for a while. He then looks at Seto and says, "I love you too. I want to be with you."

"Great, it's settle then. You're going to Hong Kong with me, and we'll go to Europe together." Seto says and kisses Joey, "now, let me in. I want to take a bath with you."

"In your dream! You're not getting in! Get lost!"

"Come on, my little puppy, You said you like it when I hold you, right?" Seto moves toward Joey, "Don't be shy now."

"NO! get out Get Out GET OUT!" Joey screams as he pushes Seto away in panic.

Seto was only teasing Joey. He isn't really trying to get into Joey's bath. But when Joey pushes Seto, Seto looses his balance and falls into the Bathtub.

Joey's sister picks this moment to arrive at Joey's house. She gets in the bathroom and yells, "Joey! How could you? You lie to me! I saw Seto Kaiba on the news! You were doing something dangerous with him last night!"

Serenity then notices Joey isn't alone in the bathtub. A very wet and very naked Seto is inside the steamy hot bath, lying on top of her beloved brother, who is also wet and very naked. "Hmm…sorry I interrupted you two." Serenity looks away.

"Hello, little sister, sorry I forgot to close the door." Seto greets.

"I'm gonna go. I will call you later, Joey." Serenity leaves.

"Serenity! Wait!" Joey wraps a towel around his waist and runs out to the living room, but Serenity is already gone.

"Don't worry, she'll call you later." Seto says, "come on, let's go to bed."

"I'm not getting in bed with you!" Joey's face turns red.

"You're too cute. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to have sex with me. Come on." Says Seto as he takes Joey to bed. There is an X'mas dinner on Joey's bed waiting for him. Seto smiles, "I figure you must be really hungry so I pick up some food on my way here."

"Thank you, Seto! I'm starved!" Joey gets on the bed and starts eating.

"I know you're tired, let's eat and sleep for now. We will have sex tomorrow morning."

"Seto!" Joey shouts.

"Relax, I'm just kidding!" Seto smiles and kiss Joey on the lips. "You can take your time. No need to hurry. We got the rest of our lives together, right?"

"Right." Joey smiles, "thank you, Seto. This is the best X'mas ever!"

After having the dinner, Joey rests his head on Seto's shoulder and falls asleep. It feels nice to be in Seto's arms. Joey never sleeps so well before. Seto plays with Joey's golden hair lovingly. Nothing gives Seto more satisfaction and happiness than lying next to Joey. Soon, Seto closes his eyes and falls into a comfortable sleep holding his most precious treasure.

His adorable puppy.

The End! Thanks for reading.
