Snatcher

A Kaiba brother's story, typical me, hehehe. Had this story on my mind for quite a long time and decided to finally write it up.

What starts as a virus, or so they thought, turns into something much more. Mokuba starts seeing changes in Seto, is he just imagining it or is something wrong really happening? Kaiba brother's fic.

The small raven haired boy squirmed a little on his sofa as he heard more loud noise coming from behind him.

What was the noise? It was coming from his older brother, the supposedly Great Seto Kaiba. The younger brother never thought the same thoughts as everyone else though; most people just saw him as horrible, self centred and ran this impressive company that brings him a lot of money. Sure, he could be but he was so much more than that, much deeper. And sure, Seto was great to him too but not in the same way, people just call him great because he's super young and has already done so much in his short life.

"What is with this thing!?" Roared the young CEO, yet again.

Once again the younger brother squirmed a little on where he was sitting. He hated it when Seto shouted and sounded extremely annoyed, Seto could be quite a scary person when he lost his short fused temper.

The boy was just doing his usual thing of sitting in his big brother's office in his spare time, like after school. He'd just watch telly and sometimes chatted a little to his brother when he wasn't as busy and stressed, most of the time that was the only time he even got to see him. His brother was all company and was willing to do absolutely anything to make everything run to what he thought was perfect. And of course the younger brother resented it quite often for many reasons but what could he do? All it ever did was cause arguments and he hated having arguments with his big brother, good chunk of the time he just bit his lip on things to just keep the peace. Even though he often weren't happy, sometimes felt like he didn't have anybody anymore.........

"What's wrong Seto?" The boy asked, a little nervous because he didn't want his brother to then shout his problems at him.

Seto let out a loud and heavily annoyed sigh, the boy wasn't too sure it was for him though. "It's this stupid system." He finally grunted, voice lined with annoyance.

"What's wrong with it? We don't usually have problems with our computer systems."

"That's what's frustrating me, Mokuba." Seto replied with a frown. "I can't totally tell what's wrong. It seems that it's got a virus but the software isn't picking it up to get rid of it. I've done my own personal research and look around but can't find anything."

"That's impossible, Seto." Mokuba scoffed at those comments. "Our system's security is the best in the entire world, everything can be traced or picked up and gotten rid of. Plus you can usually find anything, so maybe there's just nothing there......."

"I know something's on there, Mokuba." Seto snapped, not liking how he was being told that he was being paranoid about having something on the systems. "And it must be something big to get on the whole actual system. This thing could really be harmful, especially when the mansion is a connection to it."

"I'm sure it'll be alright, Seto......" Mokuba muttered softly, not liking and understanding why Seto was getting so worked up. Why was Seto so uppity about something that he can't even find? Was he holding back something from him?

"No it won't, Mokuba!" Seto snapped harshly. "Could you just leave and go to your room or something?! You're just distracting and holding me back while I'm trying to fix this!"

"But.........." Mokuba tried to protest, not understanding what he'd done wrong. Seto doesn't usually act like this, even when he was stressed......

"I mean now!" Seto barked.

Mokuba's eyes widened a little, Seto never talked to him like that. God, you'd think it was much worse than just a stupid little computer virus the way he was going on. Mokuba didn't bother to say anything else and just stormed out of the home office, feeling upset that Seto would ever talk to him like that.

Seto watched as his little brother stormed out of the office in a bit of a huff and let out a little guilty sigh to himself. He usually never talked to Mokuba like that but he didn't want Mokuba in the room while trying to sort this. Plus hated how Mokuba was suggesting he was acting paranoid, Seto knew he definitely wasn't paranoid. He'd noticed things happening, strange emails getting sent to him, hoping Mokuba hadn't received any, files strangely going missing off the systems and even stupid things like security camera's getting turned on and off when no one had touched them. Seto knew this wasn't all in his mind and had overheard staff noticing some things wrong.

Now the emails had bothered him a quite a lot. He'd also gotten quite a variation of styled emails, some looking like some kind of codes and others in actual words and sometimes sounded slightly like warnings or threats. Seto didn't take warnings and threats all too kindly. The emails seemed to make more worded sense the more he'd gotten, he usually got one at least every couple of days. Why hadn't he told Mokuba? Because he hadn't wanted to worry him, he knew Mokuba would immediately want to be involved. But as far as Seto thought, he didn't want Mokuba involved in such problems. He was the parent, Mokuba was the child, it was his responsibility to protect Mokuba from threats and he was starting to think that this was. Plus he was just getting seriously frustrated with it and didn't want to let it slip and then Mokuba wanting to have a look at things and such.

He continued his search through the computerised system but couldn't find anything; if it was something like a virus then it was a very well hidden one. No matter what he did or used, nothing...... It was like there wasn't anything there.

Seto was about to give up for the time being when he heard his email inbox bing. When he saw that there was no email address or name for it he knew automatically that it was from the same thing. Seto clicked on it to open so he could read it. His eyes widened a little when he saw that this email was in perfect wording this time and made a very clear message.

Seto,

I see Mokuba's doing well, I saw his most recent report, you should be proud.

Seto felt his heart beat stop for a second, this was a person? He/she's been watching his baby brother without permission? This is much worse than he'd ever thought.....

Wew, a new Kaiba fanfiction. I haven't forgotten any others. I started writing this when I had free boring gaps in university class' and had brought my laptop in on the days, and virtually all my other stories are on my other laptop. And had this story on my mind for quite some time now so started to write it : )

Anyway, hope you like the first chapter; this is basically the base for the story. Please review and whatever to tell me what you think, as long as constructive.
