True Friend, True Love (Seto Kaiba) #1
It was a Sunday afternoon, the sun was shining what was left of the Summer just gone. You let out a sigh of relief, you have finally unpacked the last box and now you have officially moved in to you new room. You looked around, it was considerably bigger then you old one back in England, that was a major plus point. But then ...
... your eyes fell onto your new uniform, you groaned "that is a major negative point" you said out loud. "What is?" a voice said. You spun around and stated "That uniform, not only do I have to wear a skirt dad, but I have to wear the a bow as well!! they think we are a bunch of Christmas presents or something" (Imagine the girls uniform in Yu-Gi-Oh, now do you get my point) Your dad chuckled, "I know how you feel about skirts Heather but you look nice in them, it's a shame you don't wear them more often you have a nice pair of legs." You rolled your eyes slightly, "Whatever dad, is there anything else that needs to be unpacked?" you asked. "Nothing I can't handle, why don't you go for a walk and get your bearings, so you know where to go before you start school tomorrow. Maybe you can find a nice park so you can do you usual jogs." You smile you famous smile, "That's a great idea, it's too nice to be inside." You grabbed you bag from off your desk, kissed your dad on the cheek and said, "See you later" Ran downstairs and out the door. You dad smiled "just like her mother" he muttered.
~FF 2 hrs~ You have got your bearings, you liked Domino, there were great places for you to shop and jog. Also it got you thinking of places where you mum would have hung out when she was your age. This made you smile a sad smile. You never knew your mother, and your dad told you that Domino was her home town and this is where he and mum met when he was stationed here. (I know the RAF has no bases in Japan just go along with it.) Suddenly...
... you find yourself outside the GAME shop (Yugi's Grandpa's shop). "I could use some new cards for my deck," you said to yourself before entering. You saw an old gentleman at the counter reading a newspaper. He looked up at you and smiled, "Hello my I help you?" You smiled back with your famous smile and said, "I'm looking for some booster packs for Duel Monsters please." "Well you've come to the right place, go over and help yourself," the man said and gestured towards the racks on the wall. "Thank You," you nodded your head and walked over.
Making sure that that the man was not watching, you slowly closed your eyes and allowed you hand to move over the packs. You liked to feel that someone or something was guiding you towards the cards. You picked up three packs that you felt good about and paid for them. "Thank you and come again," the man said, you smiled and begun to walk out of the shop. When you opened the door you saw a group beginning to walk in. You held the door and moved to the side to allow them in. There were all talking loudly, especially a blonde hair boy, to notice you as they walked in. You were about to leave when you heard some say "Thank you." You turned to see who it was, you saw a short boy with tri-coloured hair of blonde, black and red. What caught your attention was his eyes they told you that he was an innocent and honest person, but there was hidden strength deep within him. You smiled and said "You're welcome," and left.
As you begun to walk home you passed a park and something caught your eye. It was a group of kids who seem to be picking on a boy with long black hair. These scenes made your blood boil, bringing back your experiences with bullies. You face became cold and hard and you marched up to the group yelling, "HEY!!! BACK OFF!!!" The group turned to see who yelled, they saw the look on your face and ran in fear, leaving their victim on the floor shivering. You walked up to the boy, knelt down and placed your hand on his shoulder. When you did this you noticed he flinched and so you soothingly say, "Hey I'm not going to hurt you, my name is Heather, what's yours?" The boy looked up into your eyes, you could see that he was frightened, but you could see that there was a spark of mischief and fun. Also there was a strong sense of loyalty for someone. You smiled your famous smile making your face look calm and waiting patiently for an answer from him.
By doing this, he seemed to relax a bit, "My name is Mokuba, Thank you for getting those thugs off me." "No problem, look as much as I like sitting on the ground with you. I prefer to sit on the swings, care to join me?" you reply smiling still. This made Mokuba's face light and said, "Yeah!" he jumped using his hands, winced a little and ran to the swings. You followed noticing that he was wincing again and was holding his hand.
You sat next to him on the swing and took his hand gently and inspected it. He had a nasty cut and you had nothing to wrap it up with. Then you realise you bandana holding your hair up. You took out letting your hair fall down, folded it and wrapped gently but firmly around his hand. Whilst doing this you talked to him. "So what are you doing in the park on your own?" You enquired. "I'm waiting for my big brother to come and pick me up, he's a little late, he probably got caught in Kaiba Corp business." He answered. "Oh what does he do?" Mokuba giggled at this question and you gave him a look saying what? "You're not from around here are you?" He asked with a grin. "Is it that obvious?" You said with a smirk. You finished with his hand and let go. Then a limo pulled up and Mokuba yells Big Brother!" and runs towards the limo. You got up from your swing, smiled and yelled, "See you later Mokuba," and started to walk home.
"Heather! Wait! I want you to meet my brother." Mokuba yelled as he ran up to you and took you hand and gently pulled you towards the limo. There waiting was a tall, handsome young man with brown hair, who was roughly the same age as you. His facial expression looked hard, but seem to soften a little when Mokuba approached. You couldn't see his eyes because his hair covered them from your view but you could tell he was looking at Mokuba curiously when he brought you along. You have seen this harden expression before because you always put it on when you were angry or upset. Then he raises his head to look at you, instantly saw in his eyes that he has in some way been through what you have and beyond, as if he was pushed to his limits, but there was a softness and loyalty in him which you assumed was for his brother.
Wow, all that from looking at him and he hasn't even spoken yet.
Both of you were snapped out of your gaze when Mokuba did the introductions. "Heather this is my big brother Seto, Seto this is Heather she helped me with some bullies and wrapped up my injured hand." You looked at Seto, you knew instantly that if you offered you hand to shake his he wouldn't have took it, so you simply smiled and said, "Please to meet you." he looked at you, showing in his eyes that he was surprised at your response but retained his composure. Then he began to say. "Thank You for helping my brother, but I hate owing favours, so would you like a ride home?" Saying this in a cold, harsh tone, but slightly fatigued. "Man someone must have really come down hard on him if he acts like that to other people" you thought to yourself, but also noticing the slight tiredness in his voice and the fact he was trying to hide it. You continued your polite composure and shook your head, "No thank you, I recently moved and I need to get a feel for the area, I don't know where most places are, I barely know where my house is. So I'll think I walk." You said still smiling.
Ah that the Seto Kaiba we know and love, never do something until he has too
When you said this you noticed Mokuba's face dropped, and Seto replied, "I'm afraid I have to insist, owing favours to anyone is not my style." His tone is slightly harsher. "Well I have to decline again to your insistence, but if you really have to return the favour to me then here is an alternative. It comes in three parts 1. You spend an hour with Mokuba tonight, no work no nothing because according to Mokuba I believe it was work at Kaiba Corp is it? Is what made you late to pick him up in the first place?" Seto was looking slightly shocked as you said this and he simply nodded to each question you asked as you continued to speak. "2. You allow your charming little brother to give me a guided tour around Domino after school tomorrow." This part brought a big smile to Mokuba's face. "And number 3?" questioned Seto, with what you thought was slight amusement in his now sparkling blue eyes but still maintaining a slight cold tone in his voice. "Oh and to return my bandana when you have finished with it." You motioned towards Mokuba's injured hand. "That's if you want to return the favour of course, but I must insist on you returning my bandana, it's one of my favourites." Smiling sweetly at them and you began to walk away, calling back, "See you around guys." Leaving them slightly stunned at what you have just said.
You finally made your way home and came to find a gourmet meal set out. "Just in time, I thought we should celebrate our moving in." Your dad said coming from the kitchen. You smiled devilishly, "Oh GREAT!! I have to eat YOUR cooking!!"
(Seto's POV)~in limo~ That Heather girl was playing on your mind. The way she kept smiling politely even when you were speaking harshly to her. Many people would have taken offence, but not her. When she looked in your eyes she seemed to be able to see what you have been through in your life and understood. Also there was the way she declined your offer for a ride home, firmly but graciously. This made you frown inside but also relieved because you were tired. However you still owed her a favour for helping Mokuba. Then you thought about what she suggested, it took you by surprise because the first part was nothing for her but for Mokuba and you to spend time together. And you found it amusing when she requested that Mokuba would guide her around town, you believe she said this because she noticed Mokuba being down when she declined the ride. Finally you arrived at the mansion, but before you got out of the limo, you turned to Mokuba. "Mokuba do you want to escort that girl around town after school tomorrow?" you asked. "I would love to Seto, Heather was really nice to me and I thought of doing it even before she suggested it." Mokuba replied eagerly. "Well then what do you want to do?" "What do you mean Seto?" he asked questionably at you. "Well you are willing to escort her around town, which is part of returning the favour to her, I guess I should do the rest of the favour." You said in a business-like tone. Your facial expression lightened when you saw the excitement on your little brother's face. "Really Seto? You can play one of my playstation games with me, if you want?" Then he ran into the mansion, you followed slightly smirking, thinking that Heather's suggestion was definitely a good one.
You asked one of the maids to bring a first aid kit so you could clean and bandage Mokuba's hand properly. As you did you noticed that Heather did a good job wrapping his hand. After you done that, you handed the bandana to the maid and requested it to be washed, ironed and returned to you immediately. Then you joined Mokuba in the living room and started to play his playstation with him. You allowed Mokuba to beat you a few times until you realise he was actually beating you fairly. You leaned over and started to mess with his controls, "You're cheating Mokie!!" you say exclaiming. "Get off Seto!!," he yelled back, then he saw the time on the clock and showed an expression of shock. "What's wrong Mokuba?" you questioned. "It's just that you have been playing with me for three hours!! Heather only said one!" he said eyes gleaming happily. "You're right!" you said a little surprised at yourself, "and guess what? it's time for bed!" Mokuba gave you a playful pout, then said, "Ok, goodnight Seto, don't stay up too late, you have to go to school tomorrow too you know." Then he ran upstairs
You proceeded to your office to do some more Kaiba Corp work. Half an hour later a maid knocked and entered handing you Heather's (now clean) bandana and left. You looked at it and thought of the girl who looked after Mokuba and the smile on her face when she told you what she wanted for a favour, ~Flashback~..."That's if you want to return the favour of course, but I must insist on you returning my bandana, it's one of my favourites." Smiling sweetly at you...~End of Flashback~ "I'll keep it with me, then when I see her again I'll be able to return it." You said to yourself as you walked to your room to go to bed. "That's if I see her again," You thought.
