Chapter 2 – Kaiba family

Rowland looked up at his boss in surprise when he brought back two boys with him from the orphanage. "What about N-"Rowland started but was cut off by an angry glare from Gozuburo Kaiba. The man guided the two children, one with short brown hair and the other long black hair, into the house and instructed people to prepare a room. Rowland just stared at his retreating figure, sighed and walked in after him. The elder boy glanced up at his new father with curiosity. He'd won the chess game so he got to stay here. 'It's for Mokie' he told himself. The younger boy saw his brother's frown and clutched his hand for protection, just in case. Rowland saw this and smiled and frowned at the same time (which was a weird sight) and looked up at Gozuburo who hadn't noticed. A maid walked over and announced "The children's room is ready sir" and led them up the stairs. Rowland followed quietly out of pure curiosity as to their situation. His boss seemed to read his mind as he said "They are orphans. This one beat me in a chess game" he indicated to the brunette and continued "The condition was if he won I would adopt him. So I kept my word" he smiled a sickly smile and the siblings faltered slightly. Gozuburo ushered them into the room and walked in with them. The door was shut in the bodyguards face. 'My cue to leave then' he thought as he turned to leave. Banging of objects started in the room and Rowland entered. His eyes widened at the sight in front of him. The young brother was sat with the elder brother, crying as he covered up the gash on that was bleeding on his brother's arm. A bottle of hair dye lay next to the body of Gozuburo Kaiba and seemed to be everywhere but his hair. "Mr, who's Noah?" the boy asked. "This man's son. Why?" although he had a feeling about why. "Gozuburo said that he wanted Seto to be him and he got the dye and a knife. He tried to cut- take out his eyes" the kid said and burst into fresh tears. The boy on the floor stuttered out "Mo-ku-ba…" and Mokuba once again tightened his grip on the arm and looked to Rowland who pulled out his phone and called for a doctor. "It'll be fine Nii-sama. You'll see." Mokuba mumbled to his half conscious brother as her rocked him whilst now silent tears streaked his face.

At the hospital, Seto was let out with a tight bandage on one arm and a weeping brother in the other. The pair walked over to where Rowland was waiting and looked up at him expectantly. "Let's go back" he said simply and they nodded, shuffling slightly closer to the bodyguard who suddenly became more alert than he had ever been. These were his new charges and he would look after them. He led them to the car and to a new life. He ran a hand over his face and thought 'now what?"
