Noah's tear blended into the rain and was lost in a puddle. He felt lost like his tear. How could they have left him like this? Didn't they know that the last thing that he could possibly want was to be alone right now? "Stupid fools he thought.
A thunderclap woke him from his reverie. A lightning lit up the street and he could see a coated man huddling down the sidewalk. He didn't know it but his heart began to beat faster at seeing the familiar coat. "That fools coat" muttered Noah in entropy "ITS JUST LIKE KAIBAS!" Noah ran up to him and found out that it was in fact Seto. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, YOU FO-" Another lightning cut him off.
"MOKUBA!" he panted, then drew back, realizing suddenly that he was showing vulnerable to Noah. "Um...yeah... I- It's just that he's been kidnapped." K-KIDNAPPED?! Noah thought with panic in his thoughts. Now his heart was screaming.
It was then that he noticed that half of Kaiba's deck was missing or water soaked. "You're dragons are worthless now" Noah thought in a moment of triumph, but his elation was dampened when he saw the look of concealed fear on Seto's face.
Seto just stood there, panting a moment and seemed to be struggling internally with a decision. This is no time to worry about your reputation or your company or whatever else fills your cold head! Thought Noah. He said this.
Seto chuckled lowly, agreeing hard with Noah on this one. "We have to work to gether if we want to save MOKUBAAAAAA!"
Noah smirked and chuckled he gestured offhandedly "I suppose I could lend my insane prowess this once though I have things to do of course" he remarked offhandly. But seto rushed by, shoving Noah out of the way, "Come on then!" Noah was rushed up in the dramatic movement, running without even feeling his fett. There was a dot of fear in the otherwise-hopeful situation he hadn't thought of, and he began to sweat madly "What will Seto say when I admit I... LOVE MY OWN BROTHER?!"
"What's that your saying Noah?" Seto yelled behind him still running as fast as he possibly could. Noah's cheeks flushed in embarrassment, not wanting Seto to find out this way. Noah would have said something dissmissive, but he was having a hard time keeping up with Seto's lanky frame and all he could get out were gasps and coughing. Seto dashed around a corner and Noah followed behind him, panting. What was I thinking, letting my deepest secret out like that! Noah pondered quickly while his teal hair billowed around his face. He was stopped by an abrupt "WATCH OUT!" from Seto.
They had been running for so fast that it was a huge shock, and Noah nearly tripped over his own feet when he saw what Seto was staring at and yelling about. A giant statue of huge proportion was in front of them and inside its head was... SETO?!
No...just some fool dressed up like Seto! The fake Kaiba Corp leader cackled in the night air. There was a coldness between the three growling figures, in more ways than one.
"What have you done," Seto raped before clearing his throat "WITH MOKUBA!"
"Oh I'd bet you''d like to know wouldn't you FAKE SETO?" coldly states the impersonating Kaiba Corp CEO. Noah didn't know what to believe anymore, how could they both be Seto, and both ignore him like this?!
"Listen you third-rate clown" The Seto on the ground snarled, "I don't know what you'r talking about but I remember taking ofer Kaiba Crop with my little bro Mokuba and if anyone's a fake it's YOU" He paused for a breathe and lightning accentuated the moment "IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET OWAY EITH TAKING MOKUBA YOUR WRONG!"
Noah's loneliness was compelty back, as seen in his shaking downward gaze. Youve never taken me seriesly, fake or not, he sighed inwardly. "THATS ENOUGH YOU IMBECILES" Noah shouted in the direction of the two Kaibas on front ofc him. "What makes you think that the both of you can keep ignoring, I, the Great Noah, true Leader of Kaiba Corp?"
Both Setos turned and toward Noah, malice glinting in their eyes, but only the Seto in the statue spoke, "Heh. It seems you two have some issues to work through. That's fine. You'll have plenty of time to discuss them in Hell!" Suddenly a trap door in the street opened beneath Noah and as he whipped his head toward Seto, the last thing he saw was his coattails billowing up and a white blur going into the street at the same time!
Darkness. Aside from the quickly-shrinking lightning from the top, Noah saw drankness, and that was ok... it went along with his feelings. He clothed his eyes and remarked to himself on the inside that it didn't change anything- he'd see blakcness until he hit the ever-approaching floor and saw black forever.
When they finally hit the flor they saw that it wasn't in fact concrete or assfalt, but dirt. Noah struggled to his feet and walked over to the huddled lump of Seto lying on the floor with his arm twisted beneath him in an awkward way. Noah had got a quality education when he was young, so he knew to roll after he hitthe ground, but Seto was an orphan! An orphan with a broken arm now.
Seto suddenly groaned and tried to get to his feet but ended up falling and screaming when he put his weight on his broken arm. "Careful, you moron!" Noah said to him lowly, while trying to make sense of where they wear, probably deep underground. He put Seto's arm over his shoulder, but of course he couldn't help him up; Seto's shoulder came up to Noah's shoulders while he was sitting down! "We need to set that arm, it's clearly a compund fracture." Noah lectured.
"No, leave me," Rumbled the master deulist now so weak and helpless, "A person without an arm is as worthless as a deck without a single trap card!" Noah's eyes glanced to Seto's deck pouch, which he, tot he great surprise of everybody who knew about it, actually admired a lot, but now the mushy sight filled his stomach with nothing but bile.
Noah bit back the churening in his stomach and glanced around now that his eyes had grown used to the little light that there was around them. "Decks without trap cards still have someuse in them yet, fool; I see some stairs!"
Seto stood up and winced. Then Noah had an idea...he took out his duel disk and told Seto to hold out his broken arm the best he could... It was going to hurt and noah clenched his throat in preparation for what he was about to do. He galantly held Seto's arm pieces in a straight line, hissing air in through his nose, nervously.
At once Seto Shrieked in agony, wondering why that buffoon Noah, who was supposed to be his brother, would put him through so much pain "NOAH THAT HURTS GOD DAMMIT!" "Shhh," Noah said tenderly.u He smiled to himself thinking that here the great Seto Kaiba was finally showing his sensitive side. His thoughts flashed momentarily back to the birthday party of earlier that night (earlier that night! it felt like another life!) when he had shared a similar moment with Mokuba...
It was a dueling party for their new friend Kanyun* in the lobby of a fancy deuling hotel somewhere. A gang had shoved them over to play in front of the elevator. Noah had almost lost his temper then and dueled those punks right then and there, but Mokuba stopped him before he could even draw his first card. "Nothing good will come of it, Noah; Seto always said that if I had problems with bullies, he'd take care of them!" Noah had gritted his teeth, but reluctantly given in. The punks got mad, though and shoved noah down into Mokuba and stolen half his deck... Noah didn't notice until hed taken stalk of his cards that Mokuba's voice was higher than usual- almost a high whine. "WHAAAAAAAT?!" Noah bellowed and spun halfhazardly on his heal to see to his disdane that the force of the shoving had fractured the top part of Mokuba's left arm.
Noah rushed over to Mokuba, and cupped the child's head against his chect, making soft shushing noises to calm him. "It'll be ok Mokuba, Seto's coming, he'll deal with those bullies, and after he's done with them, I've got a bone to pick with them!"
Noah had always had a soft spot for Mokuba; he respected how he always stuck by his brother Seto, and he was just noticing how cute the hair brushing across his cheek made him look... The hair on Noah's neck stood up "What am I thinking? Why do I feel this way?" The warm form in his grasp groaned and writhed a little to get more comfortable. "Stop, Moky! I mean Mokuba!" Mokuba opened an eye and Noah was sure it would have a shocked glare, but it instead was shiny and seemed more... HAPPY?!
Mokuba's smile and happiness dulled a bit "I'm sorry, Noah, I wasn't thinking; maybe the bullies hurt you to?" "No, I'm fine... well, actually I'm a little sore from hitting the floor, so please try to stay still." Noah stared into Mokuba's quivering eyes for a long moment, then out of nowhere, he started to blush furiously! Noah whipped his head away so Mokuba wouldn't see. He felt a mix of warmth and embarassment which echoed through his soul, and through time, becuase as Noah knelt with Seto Kaiba somewhere deep underground, he felt the same way. WHAT? He thought frantically, his mouth gaping uncontrolably, NO! THIS ISN'T RIGHT! I-IT'S MOKUBA I LOVE! W-wait WHAAAT?
CRASH! The clatter of stones scuffling to the floor broke Noah out of his daze, and he realized he couldn't remember when he last took a breath. He gasped for air and the oxygen flooded his lungs and revitalized his weary form. He quickly regained composure as he tucked the jumbled feelings he had into the back of his mind. "Hm. You're all set, Seto. This should keep you in one piece at least; just don't move it too much." Noah turned toward where the sound had come from and gulped. Don't panic, he told himself, it's probably just, er, a lost kuribo!
