Family Fears
By Night Eclipse
I do not own anything of Yu-Gi-Oh and none of the characters are my own, but my own. (My character Karisma is mine all mine you can't have her.)
But all the others belong to Yu-Gi-Oh.
Chapter 1 Morning Light
Mocuba woke to the light of the sun hitting him in the face. Last night had been terrible, he had had a nightmare that his brother was dead and dying and
there was nothing he could do about it. He loved his brother and didn't want anything to happen to him. So he had….
Flashback:
Mocuba crept through the corridors he knew that his brother was probably working again on some report or program for his company. He hated his brother
working late but there was nothing that he could do to fix that.
He had just dried the tears off of his face before coming down. He didn't want his brother to worry about him and get upset.
Creeping towards the said door of his brother's heard the insistent typing of his brother's laptop computer and his fast moving fingers.
Creeping closer and closer inched inside the door and crawled towards the bed, Seto was oblivious to his little brother crawling on to the bed. Seto only
17 years old was always doing things that everyone thought that a lot older would do.
Mocuba crawled in to the bed and curled up for some reason he always felt safer when his brother was in the room, like his brother was a safe protector
and was his shield against the world.
Kiaba kept typing and was forever glued to the screen when he felt another's presence in the room. Looking over his shoulder found that his little brother
was fast asleep on his bed.
He sighed, "What is wrong Mocuba?" He asked as he went back to his typing.
Mocuba sighed his brother didn't want to be bothering him, so decided he should leave.
"Nothing brother, I'll just go back to bed." He stood and left the room returning to his room, knowing that his brother won't stop him.
Seto just went right back to his work and ignored his brother's footsteps fading down the hallway. He had much on his mind, like how his company would
get three different new items onto the market. And the problems of his step-father's brother coming for a visit.
(I made this guy up, I think of him as Gozoburo's twin brother, Tozoru.)
Mocuba climbed back into bed and eventually fell into a restless dream-world where he was constantly chasing after his brother calling of him to not go
that way or the "death" Mocuba saw ahead would get him.
End of flashback.
Mocuba shook his head, it had been over three years since anyone had really paid attention to him and it was starting to get to him and he felt that his
moral was slowly but steadily failing. His own brother, he rarely saw, his tutors and teachers said that he had excelled to the point he didn't have to go to
school anymore, same as his brother in that matter. He still was missing something. He knew what it was but didn't know how to get it.
His brother back, he had lost the brother he had loved and cared for. His brother, Seto Kiaba had turned in to a terrible workaholic and he was totally
becoming a machine, a man working machine.
Sighing he went and got his clothes went to the bathroom got changed into some jeans and a button shirt he liked to wear once in a while.
Then he got on his leather boots and jacket left for his motorcycle. Even though he was only 15 years old he got away with a lot of stuff.
He was no longer in school, but was taking private lessons from a college teacher. Then he drove a motorcycle around town and had fun.
Mocuba could finish his school work all in the morning and have all afternoon to him.
He left for the college and his class with Professor Hammond.
He took the quick route, he wanted to get these lessons over quickly and meet up with his friends, Yugi, Yami, Joey, Mai, and Serenity.
They were all so nice to him. They filled a part of his life that he missed when around his brother.
He arrived at the college and entered inside, once inside he found that his teacher was waiting patiently and smiling.
"Mr. Kaiba, I have a special project for you to work on that I think will make you feel better, as I can tell that you have been feeling very down lately."
Mr. Hammond said softly.
Mocuba sat down; it was projects like these that were so much fun to create. The last one had been to go throughout the city to take a
survey of the silliest things and then go back and statistically work with them.
"This time it is a project of distraction, on that is to prove another's heartfelt friend-only devotion to you. You must find out how devoted
your friends and family are to you, and how far they would go to help you or even save you…BUT Mocuba"
Mocuba straightened already having been thinking on this project.
"This does not mean that you do dangerous things that would cause someone's life to be put into danger. This means you must use
common sense to understand exactly what you can do to accomplish this. Now shoo…You have a month to complete this and you alread
y have all the homework I gave you last week. That homework is due next week Friday."
Then he just turned and went back to his work that he had been correcting beforehand.
Mocuba left and sighed, he knew that he could do this project with his friends but what would he do when it came to his brother, all he could
think of would be a stone dragon in the shape of his brother's face.
Night Eclipse: I made this one up on a flight over China, so I will now give you all what I have typed up. Hope you like it. (I think it still is a little rough around the edges.)
