So this is my second fic. Please tell me about it. I don't know Yu Gi Oh. I just read a few storys and this Kaiba and Joey relationship is interesting. But I wanted to make Joey a bit stronger and maybe Kaiba a bit weaker. Ah, just read and give me reviews.

I am not a native English speaker. So criticism is not only welcome but helpful!!

„Damned, I'm lost "hissed Kaiba. He was walking down a street but he had no idea where he was. The surrounding was shabby and the pouring rain did not help the image. No one was on the streets.

Because everyone run away from this place, he thought. Kaiba was freezing since all his clothes were soaked with water. When he left his mansion for a little walk no clouds were in the bright blue sky. But some when everything changed. He walked, totally lost in thoughts about some company deals in an unknown part of the town and the few drops of light rain turned in heavy shower. Now the evening was coming. His head was aching and he felt hard to concentrate on something. Kaiba looked around to find a street sign but there was nothing to help him. He thought about using his mobile but decided that there was no sense. He had no idea where he was.

"Kaiba?" A voice from behind made Kaiba jump around. Maybe a bit too fast because suddenly Kaiba felt dizzy and he reached out for the wall of an old house next to him. "Hey, keep cool." The voice belonged to a tall figure which was hard to identified since the rain made it all blurry in Kaiba' s eyes.

"It is me, Joey. What are you doing here? You don't look very well." The figure took Kaiba' s shoulders and urged him a few steps back in an house entrance. Without the rain everywhere Kaiba finally recognized Joey. He was wearing a rain coat and a shopping bag from a grocery market. "I'm fine" Kaiba managed to say before he started to shiver. "Oh, I can see" Joey answered sarcastically. "Do you think you can walk a few steps? I'm living just down the street." Kaiba nodded. He wanted to say something but his headache was becoming worse and the wet clothes seemed to be made of ice. Joey pushed Kaiba back on the street and both of them walked down the pavement.

The house Joey lived in was as shabby as the rest of the area. The smell inside the stairwell was rotten. Kaiba thought he had to climb hundreds of stairs until Joey walked into a floor, put out some keys and opened a door. "Yeah, it is not a mansion. So don't start complaining. I just call you a cab and then you can leave to your place" Joey murmured absently while getting out of his coat. But when he turned around he saw Kaiba' s grey face and his body shaking. Without any other comments Joey put his arm around Kaiba' s waist and guided him to his room.

Kaiba awoke in a bed and a room he didn't know. Where was he? Even the clothes, a shirt and some shorts, he wore were not his own. He recalled his last memories but everything was confusing. He had difficulties to swallow. His throat was swollen. And he felt cold and warm at the same time. Fever, Kaiba guessed. But why wasn't he at his mansion? Where was his brother? And then he remembered Joey found him. Obviously he was at his place. Relieved that he finally know where he was Kaiba sit up. He felt dizzy and decided to rest for a moment before he was leaving this place. What time was it? A window closed with curtains didn't give him a clue and there was no clock around. He wanted to get home as soon as possible. He was not ill. Maybe a little cold but nothing serious. He was needed in his company and he had to look after his brother. He had to do phone calls. Where was his mobile? Kaiba looked around to find his clothes. The room, so he noticed was small and really not comparable to the places he was used to. The furniture were old but nevertheless everything seems clean and tidy. On a small table next to the bed he saw a framed picture of a little boy and a little girl. They were smiling. Kaiba stared at the picture and suddenly put his feet out of the bed on the ground. He had to call his brother and get out of this.

He stumbled out of the room and found himself in a little floor. There were three other doors. One was just half closed and he could hear some noise and a decent music playing behind it. Kaiba took a deep breath and concentrated hard to walk steady. Then he opened the door.

Behind it there was a small kitchen. The furniture was white but the wall was painted in light yellow. Everything was simple but in order. A radio was playing.

Joey said on a chair with his back turned to the door. He hummed with the music and it seemed that he was looking out of the window. Kaiba could see that it was still raining outside but also that it has to be the middle of the day.

"What time is it?" he wanted to ask in his usual cool voice but all he could bring out was a harsh whisper. Joey was clearly shocked for a moment. Kaiba grinned. Then Joey stood up and turned around.

"Hell. What about being a bit more friendly? You stayed here over night. It is something around nine in the morning. How do you feel?" Joey's voice was clearly annoyed.

"I'm fine. I need my mobile and my clothes. Where are they?"

"You should sit down. I called Mocuba when I put you to bed. He knows where you are, okay? We both decided that letting you sleep was the best for you. He is coming over in an hour." Joey watched Kaiba and added a bit more friendly "You really should sit down now."

"No, I'm fine" but Kaiba could feel his legs weaken. Joey shrugged his shoulders with an angry face. He took Kaiba's arm and dragged him to the chair. "Idiot", he murmured, "Do you think I feel comfortable? You should stay in bed until Mocuba comes. I will bring your clothes and your fucking mobile to you in a second." Kaiba raised from his seat and walked through the door. He would have liked to answer something in Joey's face but more he wanted to get out of this situation quick. When he was crossing the floor everything around him started to get blurry. He felt loosing control and his body sacked to the floor. Suddenly two arms were holding him. "Oh no", Joey sighed and supported Kaiba to the bedroom. There Joey helped Kaiba into the bed. "You are sweating like hell", he said and put his hand to Kaiba's forehead "And you have fever." "Not your problem" Kaiba whispered. He felt like every bone in his body was crashed.

"I wish that would be true but you are in my room and I don't think that I can afford myself to let you suffer. Your solicitors would kill me" Joey answered and put a new shirt from a cupboard. He undressed the sweaty shirt from Kaiba and gave him the new one. "I get you some water. You need to drink" with these words Joey vanished from the room. Kaiba put on the new shirt and climbed under the sheets. He shivered and the headache was coming again. Joey came back with a glass of water. "I put an aspirin in" he said and reached the glass to Kaiba. Kaiba drank and collapsed back on the pillow. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
