The day started out normal, the usual incompatance that begged for his attention. Kaiba had made many enemy's with how many people he fired and it was not suprising to find death threats in his daily mail. Kaiba laughed to himself little did they know that they were just supplying him with ideas to get rid of "undesireable" people. As kaiba read through the mail laughing to himself he heard an unfamilar sound *clanck clanck* turning around to investigate he heard a loud sound and saw glass flying everywhere until pain exploded and he blacked out.
"I'm sorry I cannot stay, mr. kaiba" his personal doctor said as he packed up to leave, seto needed 24 hour care and was expecting his doctor to be with him the whole time, but he had only been with him for 2 days.
"I've contacted the hostpital and they said they would send someone over with experience to help." Said the doctor again as he stood up and left the room after check that seto didn't take off his bandages unless it was time for medicine. Seto didn't see him leave, he couldn't. he was temporarily blind…. Even with his eyes open he could see nothing and fearing the light would only hurt his eyes more the doctor had made sure that there was none in the room. Looking back one last time he sighed as he left the stoic teen to brood.
Mokuba had heard about what happened to his brother and was fiercly protective of him. He would make sure the person who the hospital sent was worthy of helping his brother. Quickly he set about to making a contract, making sure that the conciquinces were in very fine print. Soon he was ready for the person who would be knocking at their door.
Ever since serenity had her surgery joey had been asked multiple times to help others like her by the hospitals around his area. Of course at first he thought it was strange and he didn't like doing it but by the time it was over he ending up loving taking care of people and was again and again ask to help, everytime he did he grew better at handling thing and had eventually become the best at what he did. He couldn't stop he hated seeing people suffer because they couldn't see so he always helped when he was called, today was no exception. The familiar ring from the hospital sounded in his ears and he picked up immidatly "moshi, moshi, Joey here"
"hello again, Joey can we ask you for another favor?"
"of course!"
"we have a very wealthy client in need of 24 hour care, can you help?"
"what about school?"
"you will be excused, we can send the note this afternoon."
"ok, so where is it?"
"oh! Thank you joey! Ah, let see do you know where the kaiba mansion is?"
Joeys face pailed "yeah"
"its there, thanks again!" a click and the sound went dead, joey sighed he was supposed to take care of moneybags? But he had already agreed so he would just have to suck it up. Sighing again he started walking to the mansion.
Mokuba sat there with the finish contract when he heard a knock at the door. Quickly getting up he opened the door to see…. Joey?
"hey, kid" the blonde said "guess I'm s'possed to help your brother"
Shocked mokuba stood there, then he smiled 'this could be fun' he thought quikly mokuba pulled joey in and set the contract down in front of joey.
"please read and sign" he said as he tried to look like he wasn't planning something. The contract was innocent itself but mokuba could still twist a few things.
Joey read the contract, it was fairly simple
(1)do not speak to him 'check' he thought
(2)if he asks a yes or no question hum or growl
(3)see to his every need
(4)do not say who you are 'check'
After signing he was rushed upstairs as moki warned him not to break the contract. Mokuba pushed open the door to his brothers room and said "brother, your helper is here. I made it into a game to get your mind off work, try to find out who he is. Ask yes or no questions only" and with that he pushed joey inside and shut the door.
Seto heard the door shut before he could even utter a word of protest, sighing he let his brother have his way. Instead of arguing he just said "so, my 'helper' is here huh?" he said it with as much scorn as he possible could, sending the message 'I don't need help, go away' a hum was all he got in reply. Sighing again he stretched his bak and neck sad that it didn't make it feel any better. Since he couldn't see he other sences were sharpens so he clearly heard his helper cross the room and felt his hand being picked up, before kaiba could punch him in the face with the hand he held a message was scraled into his palm M…A…S…S…A…G…E…?
"you know massage?"seto ask
A hum
"get to it" he said
A hum and then he felt the helper carefully flip him onto his stomache, mindful of his head. Then he felt the stranger stadle his legs. Seto was about to protest when he felt warm hands on his neck already soothing his aching muscles. Not caring about the positions anymore he let his helper run his hands along his body, chasing the sorness away. By the time the hands stopped he was utterly relaxed and the silk shirt was warm with body heat that was transferred by touch. Sighing softly he fell alseep. A few hours later he woke up with a dry throat "water?" he said to the empty darkness not know if he was alone or not.
A hum was sounded and water was gently placed in his hand before guideing that hand to his lips. Normally seto would have been angry at his helper but he was still relaxed after the massage and let it go. After he finished the drink he felt the stranger take his glass away before another message was written M…E…D…I…C…I…N…E…
Understanding it was time for the eye drops proscribed by his doctor he held still as the hands unwrapped his eyes. He flinched as the hands opened his eyes wide. He still couldn't see but he hated eyedrops with a passion. Slowly he felt the helper smooth his hair with his hand, it had a strange calming effect and seto was surprised that instead of the drop hitting his eye like it usually had (making him flinch harder) it slip into his eye easily. As soon as it started it was over, both eyes were treated with the same gentle care. His eyes were re-wrapped in water proof bandages and seto was surprised yet again to find that they were comfortable, not even his doctor could make them feel this comfortable. Seto leaned back into the pillows before he heard mokuba enter his room.
"so do you know who he is yet?" mokuba asked making sure his game was still on
"no"
"good, that would spoil the fun!"
"can I ask questions?"
"only yes or no" his brother repeated
Seto was beginning to really want to know who these magic hands belonged to.
"is he here?"
A hum sounded near the corner of his bed. Mokuba got up and hugged his brother and said good night
"ONLY yes or no questions." He said as he walked out
Sighing seto leaned futher back into the pillows
"do I know your name?" A hum.
"do I use it often?" A growl that sounded a bit hurt
"do you work for me?" a growl.
Seto thought for a moment that didn't narrow it down much. As seto thought he heard a cart being pushed to his bed and a tray of food was set before him. It was then that seto realized he was hungry. Before he could eat his hand was taken again and the message was A…L…L…E…R…G…I…C…?
"im not allergic to any foods" seto said
Slowly his helper helped him eat his soup and carrot cake (yes seto saw the irony). As seto began to nod off his belly full and his body warm, his helper picked him up and walked into the bathroom, seto waited paitently for the message S…H…O…W…E…R…
"Make sure I don't fall" A hum.
