YUGIOH

Invisible Stalker

Narr: Joey is entrusted with an item he must give to Yami, but he uses it instead to torment Kaiba. And if either Kaiba or his friends find out, it could mean trouble big trouble for the poor blond.

Warning: Yaoi, J/K, M/M, sex, possible rape, language, humiliation, some possible Kaiba uke, some possible ooc, rated T (may go to M later).

Note: There's a lot more sex involved in this story. There's also some angst thrown around in splashes. This is definitely not the typical story I normally write. Make sure you're into rape and sex stories before you start reading.

Chapter 1.

Ishizu handed Joey the golden inlaid box covered in Egyptian writings and hieroglyphs. "Now, remember. It is important that you give this to your friend Yugi as soon as you see him."

Joey grumbled to himself, "Then why'd you ask me to come, now? It's almost bed time..."

"Because I had to run the museum, Joseph."

Joey looked a little embarrassed that Ishizu heard him, but immediately recovered as he then asked. "But, why me? Why didn't you just ask for Yugi? I mean...aint this his?"

Ishizu smiled politely...her expression Joey could only assume meant, 'I think your stupid, but I'm not going to let you know that I think that', and said, "Since your house happens to be the closest to the museum, I thought it would be best to ask you and spare the Pharaoh of walking so far. I...assumed you would have no problem delivering it. You 'are' his friend, are you not?"

"Of course I am!" Joey snapped. He then calmed down, saying, "Sorry...but my Dad's gonna have a cow with me being out so late. And it aint good keeping anything in my house that looks like it's worth anything...even over-night."

Joey finally took the box, tilting his head in confusion, as he asked, "Well...what is it, anyway? Looks like the thing Yugi had that Puzzle in." Immediately Joey jumped back, almost dropping it as he exclaimed, "This aint another puzzle, is it?"

"No. There is only one Millenium Puzzle. Nor is this a Millenium Item of any sort. Open it." Ishizu told him.

Joey cautiously opened the box to see what looked like a golden...bracelet? It also had some Egyptian writing on it, and also had an eye carved into it...though it wasn't exactly of the same style eye. "It has an eye on it." He pointed out, not noticing the difference.

"All Egyptian items of magic will normally possess the Eye of Horus, to portray a blessing from the gods. But, it is no Millenium Item. This was once made to help the priests better commune with the dead." She answered.

"Dead?" Joey freaked, almost dropping the box once again...though Ishizu didn't seem concerned if he dropped it, as if she all ready knew he wouldn't. "Why does Yugi want to talk with the dead?"

Ishizu gave that same smile, making Joey wish she was a guy so he could punch that fake politeness right off her face. He hated when people looked down at him, and he was sure she was doing just that, every time she gave him that 'look'. "Very simple, Joseph. If you recall...the Pharaoh is a spirit, himself. But during the time he is not taking over Yugi's form, his abilities to do anything are limited. This item will help both Yugi and the Pharaoh. While Yugi wields this arm band, the Pharaoh's spirit will be stronger to do more things himself and not be so dependant on the one he is connected do."

"Uhhh..." Joey answered stupidly. "But...what does that mean? Does he get his own body, or something?"

"No." She answered flatly. "At present, the Pharaoh can only go as far as perhaps the distance of a small room from his host. And while he is like that, he is unable to do anything, except commune with Yugi. With this item, it will allow the Pharaoh to move more freely, I would guess about as far as the length of a city. He may even be able to touch things, though that would still be limited."

"Wow, really?" Joey asked. "So, when Yugi wears this, will we finally be able to see Yami, too?"

Ishizu looked down, unsure for once. "I...cannot say. This item was made so very long ago, and originally for different reasons, entirely. I'm sure once they begin to use it, they'll figure out the full extent of its advantages."

Joey closed the box, and nodded. "Well, I'll make sure to bring him his weird bracelet thingee first thing in the morning."

"It's an arm band. It's made to be worn on the upper part of your arm...not your wrist." Ishizu corrected.

Joey looked away, pouting again. "Whatever..."

"But I must warn you. Under no circumstances are you to put this item on yourself. It is only meant to be worn by one accustom to the use of magic. This item was once worn by Egyptian Royalty. Only those deemed worthy are allowed such an honor." She stated.

"What?" Joey snapped, immediately seeing that as an insult. "Oh, you think just cuz the Pharaoh was a...uh...Pharaoh, that makes only 'him' able to put on tacky jewelry?"

Ishizu gave a slight nod, saying, "You should not take things so personally, Joseph. What I said was not meant to offend. I have been long assigned as the guardian to the Pharaoh. It is my job to ensure anything that belongs to the Pharaoh goes only to him."

"Yeah, well then maybe you should have made the 'Pharaoh' walk a couple extra blocks to make him get it, then! I'm outta here." Joey snapped and stormed away.

Ishizu watched Joey leave in a huff. She knew her words would upset him, but she had to….she was fated to do so.

In all honestly, Ishizu would have gladly made sure to give the item personally to Yugi. She didn't know why it was Joey's destiny to receive this item to give to the Pharaoh, instead of her. Nor did she understand why her powers directed her to offend Joey, in the process.

'Perhaps fate is testing your loyalty, Joseph.' She thought.

Whatever the reason was that Joey was given this responsibility, she didn't question it. It was the god's will, and she would follow it loyally. Her task was done….it was now out of her hands.

"Not 'worthy' of wearing some stupid bracelet. Who does she think she is?" Joey snarled to himself, as he stormed all the way home. "I knew she was a stuck-up snob. You can tell all along the way she kept kissing up to Yami, like some god or something. Man, I hate people like that! Just cuz I don't got no money in life don't make her any better than me!"

Immediately, Joey quieted down as he peaked into his house. "D-Dad...? I'm home..."

He waited for the slurred yelling from his father throwing a flying fit, but it never came. Joey let out a breath, thinking, 'Thank god. He's either passed out, or went out to drink.'

Sure enough, once Joey was in, he quickly noticed his father wasn't home...which would mean he would be safe when his father came home real late. It also meant his Dad wouldn't see the shiny box and try to pawn it off for booze. "Well, it should be safe for one night." Joey said, going to his room and stuffing it under his bed.

Joey then stood there for a good 2 minutes straight, as he stared down at his bed thinking about what Ishizu had said to him before he stormed off.

Under no circumstances are you to put this item on, yourself. It is only meant to be worn by one accustom to the use of magic. This item was once worn by Egyptian Royalty. Only those deemed worthy are allowed such an honor.

That caused his blood pressure to rise once again, as Joey yanked the box back out from under his bed. "Aint worthy...I'll show her aint worthy!"

Joey opened the box and pulled the bracelet from it. He then tried to put it on his wrist, but it was way too big for that. "It looks pretty stupid being worn. Oh, wait a minute...she said it's supposed to be worn on yer upper arm. Dumb way to wear jewelry, if ya ask me..."

Joey then attempted to put it on over his school jacket, but quickly realized that wasn't going to work. Since he had to change for bed anyway, he went into the bathroom to put it on. Joey took a shower, dried off, and put his night pants on...finally picking the arm band back up. "Now, how's this stupid thing go on?"

After taking the time, he finally figured out to slip it up his arm and let it firmly yet comfortably rest on his bare muscle. Joey grinned in the mirror, saying, "Hey, look at me...I'm Egyptian royalty!" While making a pose and flexing.

Then looking at the item, he poked at the eye, muttering, "Don't look like it does anything. Oh, yeah...I'm not worthy to cast some stupid spells with it. Hey, maybe I can call some ghosts or something..."

Joey waved at the item, saying, "Booga-booga...ghosts come forth!"

Nothing happened.

"Ahhh...the thing's probably just a fake, anyway. Ishizu's probably just trying to suck up to Yami, again."

Joey then put on his pajama top over the arm-band, forgetting all about it, as he went back to his room. Joey then shoved the box under the bed, stretched, and flopped down to sleep.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

During the night...Joey had a dream. Well...he thought it was a dream. It was like an out of body experience. Joey opened his eyes, and to his horror he saw himself down in the bed, laying limp like he was dead. And he was...floating in the air looking down at himself!

"AAAAHHHHH!" Joey yelled, as he sprang up in bed, looking around frantically. He checked himself over. Yep...he was solid.

"Man…." Joey gasped. "That was one fucked-up dream. I dreamed of falling before, but never floating. That was freaky!"

He collapsed down into his bed, itching his right arm that felt unusually different. That's when he felt the hard part under his pajamas and remembered he was still wearing that arm band. "Oh, yeah! I still got that...wait a minute." 'Could that have really happened? Maybe that thing did that...' Joey wondered, now.

Joey thought back to what had happened. 'Well...what was I doing? I was...sleeping. That don't help. Maybe I gotta clear my mind.' He thought. So Joey laid back down, trying to relax his mind and making it totally empty...which was pretty easy for him. Nothing seemed to happened.

So then, Joey tried to focus on that weird floating sensation he had in his dream. After a few seconds, he began to feel it again. He opened his eyes to still see the same ceiling...yet it seemed a lot closer to him.

'Huh?' Joey thought, and began to bend his head to look down, which caused the rest of him to automatically turn. He was once again upside-down, looking down at himself lying in the bed, which appeared to be unconscious or dead.

"AHHH!" Joey screamed again, which panicking seemed to make himself feel like he had a 500lb dead weight on him and lunging straight into his body. Joey jerked up immediately, looking around just like the time when he first woke up.

"Shut the fuck up, y' stupid bast'rd! 'm tryn' ta get some sleep!" His father called out from the other room.

It seemed like his Dad was finally back home, as he thought, 'Good thing he's too tired to beat the shit out of me, right now. Sorry Dad...'

But quickly, Joey's mind returned to what just happened. 'I was really floating!' Joey thought. And he looked himself over, realizing by doing that it didn't actually kill him. He must have simply been unconscious, perhaps.

'I gotta try that again!' Joey then thought, grinning ear to ear in excitement.

Again, Joey laid back down and attempted to separate his spirit from his body.
