Personality Conflict

Yet another Mokuba and Seto story, had ideas and couldn't resist making this piece. For my plans this is going to a short story that's mostly from Mokuba POV and most likely will be just a few chapters.

To most of the world Seto Kaiba only has a one sided personality but to Mokuba there's two. How does he think towards the two? And what's the major differences?

Chapter 1: The Kaiba Side

The raven haired boy opened the office door ever so slightly, just enough for one eye to have a peek into the room. His eye revealed his older brother, nattering away on the phone again……… No scratch that, yelling at them. Someone obviously isn't doing their job correctly……….. The boy thought to himself and continued to watch for a moment. His elder brother suddenly slammed the phone down and had his back against the door.

"I know your there, Mokuba." He suddenly said and slowly turned around in his chair. "Might as well open the door entirely." He continued, now facing in that direction.

"Do you have to call me that?" The boy asked as he let himself into the office and shut the door quietly behind him.

"It's your name, Mokuba." Kaiba replied coldly and in a blunt tone. "What do you want? Shouldn't be off doing homework or something?"

"I'm stuck………." Mokuba whispered softly but loud enough to be heard.

"And why are you bothering me with this, Mokuba?" Kaiba continued with a cold attitude and blunt tone. "I'm very busy person and you're supposed to be a Kaiba, Kaiba's are smart."

"……….. Never mind…….. I didn't mean to bother you." Mokuba replied quickly and walked out of the office.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was definitely Kaiba. Mokuba thought to himself as he laid himself on his bed. Mokuba knew his brother sadly all to well and sadly saw his brother in almost like two parts. Seto and Kaiba. Each one so different from the other, one acted like he hated Mokuba and the other (the one no one else sees) was much softer, Mokuba also called that one his 'human' side. I swear that Kaiba isn't even human at times. He is so dominating, a workaholic and power hungry. No one most people hate him! They only see that side of him. Mokuba continued to think to himself and sat up on his bed gently and slowly. Even I hate 'Kaiba' at times! He really just couldn't care about anything else except money, duel cards and the company. However at odd times the mask cracks a little on him, like when I get hurt or kidnapped and he reminds himself that I'm his brother……………….. It's not his fault really…………… Kaiba was created from the shadows of our former stepfather and has been in our lives so long…….

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mokuba grunted in frustration and gave himself an annoyed slap on the forehead as he looked over his homework on his desk. "I just can't get it!" He sneered in annoyance to himself, he'd been doing his homework for hours and still he did not get it. What was he going to do? He needed the homework done for tomorrow's classes. Plus since he was a Kaiba he had to do a good job of it, not aloud bad grades when you're the younger brother of the Seto Kaiba, child prodigy. But with Seto being 'Kaiba mode' there was no way he was going to help and none of the staff was in, to late……….

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I can't believe this!" Kaiba shouted at the top of his lungs when he'd just put down the phone.

Rowland, head lackey, rushed in quickly after hearing the shouting and wondered what was wrong now. "Problem, sir?"

"Get Mokuba now!" Kaiba continued to shout, making Rowland jump a little.

"What for, sir?" Rowland asked quietly, jumping at all the noise Kaiba was creating.

"Get Mokuba!" Kaiba repeated in a hissed tone.

Rowland wasn't going to ask anymore questions, knew he wouldn't be left standing if he stayed and questioned more. He quickly turned around and ran out of the room.

A few minutes later he escorted Mokuba into the home office and quickly ducked out of the room to give some privacy. "Yes…….. Seto………?" Mokuba started softly, nervous because he saw a not so nice facial expression on his older siblings face.

By this point Kaiba had lost the shouting match mode but was giving a more quietly seething face, like he was going to blow at any point. "What have you forgotten to tell me about today?" He asked in an 'I really know but want to hear it from you' tone.

"……….." With hearing that sentence and tone of voice Mokuba knew straight away that he was talking about his school work. Not that he actually wanted to admit it……….

"Well?" Kaiba hissed, eyes locked onto Mokuba.

"…….."

"Well good thing there's such a thing as teachers and the fact that they bother to tell what's going on." Kaiba continued to hiss, got impatient with waiting for Mokuba to say something.

Mokuba just looked at the floor, not wanting to meet his brother's burning eyes.

"A 'D' Mokuba!?" Kaiba finally burst with annoyance.

Mokuba jumped back in shock, Kaiba being in a foul mood was one thing but this was something he hadn't seen. "I'm sorry………" He muttered quietly, still unable to look at him in the face.

"……… A 'D'!" He repeated in a yell again, eyes still locked onto his younger sibling, who was now cowering in front of him. "You didn't even have the decency to come and tell me when you got back from school?!"

"You said not to disturb you for the next couple of days, you said it yesterday……… You were to busy to sort out my childish problems……." Mokuba replied in a soft voice.

"You need help if you're getting grades this low!" Kaiba continued to roar.

"I did but you didn't want to help! You were to 'busy'!" Mokuba shouted back, he hated Kaiba's temper but wasn't going to let him say that he hadn't asked for help.

"Don't you yell at me!" He ordered back while shouting.

"You know what?" Mokuba replied in an angry sigh.

"What?" He grunted.

"I hate you Kaiba!" Mokuba yelled back in frustration.

"That is not my name, Mokuba." Kaiba protested, actually slightly stunned. "That is not what you call me!"

"Yes it is. Seto is the name of my real brother!" Mokuba shouted back and stormed out of the office in a huff………………………
