Personality Conflict
Yet another Mokuba and Seto story, had ideas and couldn't resist making this piece. For my plans this is going to a short story that's mostly from Mokuba POV and most likely will be just a few chapters.
To most of the world Seto Kaiba only has a one sided personality but to Mokuba there's two. How does he think towards the two? And what's the major differences?
NOTE to a comment: Actually this story was influenced by the story, Seto and Kaiba by Eriko Myoujin. All it is is connected to the theme, which I've seen a few times already, hasn't copied any of the words or things that happened, total new stories each time. This is just my version and with my style of writing and is going to even be longer than others. So if you call 'stealing' by using the same theme then you 'stole' because there was already stories from this theme…………..
Chapter 2: The Seto Side
Mokuba viciously pounced onto the bed, face first and tucked his face into a soft pillow on his large bed. He hated Kaiba! That reaction was so like him! The Kaiba side just didn't know how to admit when he was in the wrong, actually……… That might be both sides but that was just Seto. But at least the Seto side wouldn't be so vicious……….
Knock Knock
"Go away!" Mokuba yelled, loud enough to be heard through the solid bedroom door.
The door opened ever so softly to reveal Rowland, just letting a small part of his face show. "I heard the yelling…….." He started in a soft voice.
"No crap!" Mokuba exclaimed, lifting some of his face off the pillow and glanced a little bit over towards the door. "The way Kaiba was yelling the whole country could've heard!"
"Kaiba?" Rowland questioned with a quizzical face and started to let himself totally into the bedroom. "You don't usually call your brother that."
"That's the point." Mokuba replied and started to sit up on the bed, wiping a few stray tears off his face.
"Hmmm?" Rowland continued to question.
"To me………. There are two sides to him…… Kaiba is the man you work for. Blunt, mean, uncaring, power hungry…………… You get my gist. And Seto……….."
"And what's the Seto part?" Rowland asked eagerly and sat at the end of the bed.
"The Seto part is whatever's left of my original brother." Mokuba explained roughly in a saddened voice.
"…….?"
"There isn't much of that part left in Seto Kaiba, it's mostly Kaiba but that's when he acts nice. Treats me better and acts softer."
"So……….. You're saying that he's the brother part and Kaiba is like the business man and stern and harsh part." Rowland repeated slowly, making sure he understood what the younger Kaiba was trying to express.
"Spot on for the Kaiba side but……. Bit off with the Seto side………."
"Hmm?"
"Even……… The Seto side doesn't really act like a brother, not the way he used to when we were younger. He just shows a tad more caring and is softer, maybe a bit more willing to help………. When we were younger he acted like the perfect brother……. There was nothing stronger than our brother relationship and it was the best time, to me anyway. Now he acts more like he hates me, like the Kaiba side is just becoming more dominating with every growing day. I do one little thing wrong…….. And he goes flying off the handle………. Like I'm an employee or something……."
Rowland gave Mokuba a massive sympathy look, finally understanding what Mokuba was saying. In all the years he'd worked for the Kaiba household he had no idea that Mokuba felt that way. Thought he'd idolised his brother and thought that there was no one better. "……. How long have you felt this way?"
"For a massive chunk of my life………" Mokuba admitted in a soft tone. "It started when our step father adopted us…… At first I couldn't really see it but as the time past by the Kaiba part grew bigger and bigger, to the point of where he is today. Kaiba isn't really my brother…….. It's just an ugly part that has attached itself to my brother and he let his original self disappear………."
Rowland continued to nod his head in understanding and kept the sympathy look on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Mokuba apologised all of a sudden, wiping the last excess of tears that had come out.
Rowland's expression turned to be baffled. "Sorry? For what, Master Mokuba?"
"I don't mean to get you involved….. It's not your problem." Mokuba explained.
"It's no problem, Master Mokuba." Rowland protested. "I've been working for your family for so long that……. I guess your problems are my problems….. Besides… Who else were you going to tell to let off steam?"
"….. I guess you're right……. Thanks for listening." Mokuba thanked with a faint smile on his face.
Rowland smiled in reply, happy that he was able help Master Mokuba out with a problem….. Or at least let him talk off some steam. "I won't tell him." He added.
"Thanks Rowland." Mokuba thanked again gratefully.
Little did they know that they were being watched by someone just a little bit out of eye sight vision. Am I really that bad? Thought Seto Kaiba, with hearing that began to question himself. He had now cooled himself down from earlier and had been going to see Mokuba and discuss things calmly, with the supposedly 'Seto side' being active. He had stopped when he heard talking coming from the bedroom and opened the door so slightly to hear what was going on……… Wish he hadn't now. So that's what he meant when he called me Kaiba………… Thought that was a little strange….. He usually calls me Seto or brother. But after hearing that I can understand why. I do ignore him…… And don't spend any personal time with him. The only time we spend together is when I have to drag him along to some event….. And all that time I act like Kaiba….. I don't mind other people thinking that of me but…….. I want to be thought of as an actual brother to my only remaining relative. His opinion is the only thing that matters……………….
