Eternal dreams chapter 2
Outside her minuscule window small drops of water began to fall from the grey skies. A harsh wind blew across the land bringing with it, a cold that went right through to her bones. Tea hugged her knees and drew her body closer to the warm fire whose glow enveloped the room. The tiny droplets of water turned into large fat puddles that rained from the heavens above.
The front door opened letting in a gust of relentless wind that tugged at her blanket of warmth and extinguished the fire of hope in her mind. Her father was back. Drunk as the day was dark, he stumbled around the room knocking over a vase and table lamp in his wake.
"Daddy, when will you stop? It's Sunday, you must control yourself! What are you doing? Please stop!" she said as he stumbled about, knocking over more and more precious objects that held dear memories. Tea voiced only a small portion of her concerns, the tip of a very big and foreboding ice-berg.
"Listen hhhere lllittle gggirrl! I am not going to be told what to do by you! You here me, you little brat! I'm not one of your stupid friends who'll put up with your pointless speeches!" Tea's dad screeched at her.
"But dad! You must think of yourself too! Remember what doctor Akiyama said? All this drinking is not healthy for you. You're going to end up poisoning yourself. Remember what happened to.." Tea's voice trailed off as her mind was filled with unpleasant childhood memories.
"ENOUGH OF BULLSHIT! COME HERE! I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" he said with no remorse or mercy in a frightening voice. He grabbed his pretty daughter by a fistful of her chocolatey brown hair and swung her around to meet his waiting hand clutching a half full beer bottle. Her head made contact with the bottle and a stream of fizzy dark alcohol dripped down onto the carpet mixing in with a thin trail of blood coming from her bruised head.
The graceful figure slowly swayed in a intoxicating dance. Her smooth long bronze hair bounced up and down as she began to run once again. He chased her willingly for the tenth time that week but like every other time she vanished into sweet nothingness.
*************************************************************13:00 at the kaiba mansion*************************
Kaiba turned on his side and grabbed the pillow next to him, smothering it in his forceful embrace. "Mmmmm…." He involuntarily moaned in his sleep.
Very sneakily, a raven haired boy and a green haired teenager crept past the statue of the blue eyes ultimate dragon that stood guard outside Seto's room.
"Noah, it's too heavy for me to lift that high! You're going to have to do it." complained Mokuba.
"Alright give it here!" The older boy groaned and grabbed the handle. Both boys walked over to the sleeping figure on the round silver bed and silently exchanged a mischievous grin.
Splash! Noah's hand slipped on the wet handle and the bucket of icy cold water went tumbling onto the bed, hitting their older brother right in the face. They say a cold icy blast is just the thing to wake some people up in the morning. Unfortunately for them, Seto Kaiba was not one of those people.
He spluttered and woke in an obvious shock. Shimmering blue eyes snapped open with a muderous fire burning deep within them. His hair all disheveled and his face dripping with water and remnants of sweat from his slumber, he took one look at his brothers before resisting the urge to unleash all the anger that had built up over the past week of chasing the girl and trying to fall asleep.
"What in the name of hell do you two think you're doing? Have you both lost all your common sense?!" He tried not to shout at his younger brother yet Mokuba's face couldn't have looked more sad.
"I'm sorry big brother. This was my idea. I thought you might need it" Mokie's voice was practically dripping with honey.
"What do you mean I needed it?" Seth's rage was almost overcome by curiosity. Almost.
"Seto, you've been asleep more than you've been to the office nowadays. Plus, you've barely been out of your room. Considering the fact that you hardly spend any time here. I'm worried about you." Mokuba tried not to let his mind wander to the fact that Seto could be ill. The internet did not lie very often.
"Nonsense! I've been on top of things!"said Seto.
"Brother, why do you think Mokuba and I are wearing these ridiculously warm, irritating, boring suits?" retorted Noah
"I don't know why Mokuba is wearing it but I know that you love looking like an idiot."retorted the oldest Kaiba.
"Wrong brother! We've had to attend meetings for you all week! Your secretary said we should at least look the part." Noah said as he inspected a nail.
"What day is it then?" Kaiba finally realised just how out of world he was right now.
"It's Sunday afternoon big brother" came a small voice from the smallest Kaiba brother.
"Mokuba could you give me and Seto a moment?" Noah was firm yet playful in his order.
The big haired boy left the room smiling, his big brother hadn't freaked out as much as he had expected him to. The door closed behind him. Mokuba turned quickly to stop it from shutting, holding it open with his tiny fingers.
"Brother, I believe you have a serious problem." stated Noah.
"My only problem is you." replied Seto
"I'm serious brother. I went to a friend of mine who's a shrink. She says that you are holding yourself back. You are not able to express your feelings. I don't mean just any feelings too." Noah tried to suggest the exact problem to Kaiba without having to say anything about it out loud.
"I'm a cold heartless git, get over it!" said Kaiba. The true meaning of his brother's words went right over his head.
"I'm not talking about expressing sadness or happiness, okay maybe happiness, but you know other types of feelings." tried Noah.
"Did somebody complain about my anger? Who do I have to assassinate now?" asked Kaiba furiously
"No! No! Not anger brother! I 'm talking about you moaning in your sleep! It's creeping me and Mokuba out!" Noah let it slip.
"I….I….I what?!" stuttered Kaiba
"You moan and grunt in your sleep and right now Mokuba is at a very impressionable age. You remember when we were his age. We had such perverted minds, imagine his. Him - living with the two of us." Noah vented.
"What are you suggesting here bub?" asked Kaiba
"Perhaps you need a way to vent your feelings?" suggested Noah
"UGH! NO! No way in hell! I don't even wanna know! Don't try and talk to me about this again! I need to take a shower now." exclaimed Kaiba as he ran from the room.
"A cold shower?" Noah shouted after him suggestively.
"NEVER!" retorted Kaiba.
The warm water hit him hard across his toned back, he relished the hot spray welcoming it's warmth in the otherwise cold bathroom. He lathered on the soap. As he attacked his unruly hair his mind drifted to the harsh reality of life. His brothers were somewhat right. He admitted to himself. He was spending way too much time trying to follow the girl of his dreams. Quite literally too. Kaiba knew that he couldn't control it. No matter how hard he would try. He wouldn't be able to control his dreams. Having an A in psychology at school, he mused that perhaps the girl was real. After all, everyone in your dreams were real. You had seen them.
He finished up and wrapped a towel around his waist, ready to finally get some work done.
"Mokie, I told you that I told him. He's not budging." said Noah
"What if he breaks down? He needs help!" Mokuba exclaimed
"What can do Mokuba? We're only children." replied Noah
"I think I have an idea." said Mokie with his usual grin
"Let's hear it…" sighed Noah
Mokuba quickly pulled out his new and kaiba tweeked phone and let his figures do the dialing.
"Hello? Tea? Can I speak to Tea Gardener please?" asked Mokuba
"Yeah, Mokie? It's me." replied Tea.
"Oh,your voice is really gruff." said Mokie
"It's the cold, nothing else. So what's up Mokie?" She ran up the stairs an locked herself in her bedroom before she heard the kitchen door unlock.
"I need your help."
"Is it school work? Your friends troubling you again?"
"No, no, it's Seto."
"Ah! See Mokuba, your brother is a bit of an idiot. He needs a thumping."
"No, I know he's an idiot. He's my idiot anyway. He's having boy problems."
"Uh huh.. so Kaiba is finally hitting puberty. It's about time he grew up."
"I think he's a bit too grown up."
"What do you mean?"
" Sometimes I hear him moaning at night. "
" Oh god! I have images! Images! Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you tell your brother and his girlfriend?"
"See, the thing is he doesn't have a girlfriend. I think he needs one."
"So what do mean exactly?"
"I need you to help my brother. Please Tea! Help a little boy get his sanity back!"
"What do want me to do?"
" I don't know any nicer girls than you so I was hoping that you might have a friend you don't particularly like who might like you know be interested in Seto."
"I'll see what I can do Mokie. I'm not promising anything though Seto."
"Thank you so much Tea!" He said just before hanging up
"Did you notice that Tea is the first person you run to with your problems?" asked Noah, "you sure you don't like her?"
"No! No! No! No way in hell! Tea is like a big sister to me! That's all!"
"Then why so defensive?" He asked smugly
"Because it's gross! "
