Chapter 2: The Rescue

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Seto Kaiba himself." Miks dad said walking towards Seto.

"Don't take another step Gerald. I am not afraid to shot you. Now. What is going on here?"

"Oh nothing harmless. Just playing a little game."

"A game? You call tying my brother up and beating a girl a game? I don't think so."

I watched as Seto kept the gun aims towards Miks dad as he walked over towards me and untied me with his free hand. "There you go. Now, go help the young lady out of her chains."

"Hey! That's my servant! You can't just come in here and free her!"

"Correction. She is mine now. Call it a deal for not pressing charges against you for hurting her and tying up my brother."

"I…I….I…."

"You wouldn't want your wife to find out what you been doing to this poor girl when she gets back from her trip do you?"

"How did you know?"

"Because I know everything. I'll have my lawyer send you the paperwork first thing tomorrow to show that she belongs to me now. If you refuse to sign I'll have the cops over here in a heartbeat."

"You will regret this Kaiba. Mark my words."

I helped Kisara walk outside and into Setos car. I was so glad that I had a big brother that would come in the middle of the night to rescue me. I was also happy that I didn't have to beg him to buy her he just went ahead and took her without hesitation. Seto joined us in the car and started driving towards our home.

"Are you okay Mokuba?"

"Yes. Thank you for coming to the rescue."

"Yep. You did the right thing by sending me a text. You knew something was up and didn't try to solve it yourself. You knew you needed somebody older."

"I learn from the best. This is Kisara by the way. You should have seen the way they were treating her bro. It was awful."

"I know. I know how Gerald works. That's why I went and got her out of there. But. We don't need another maid so I can find her a place to work or she can be free to go."

"You hear that Kisara?! You can be free to go."

"Thank you sir but….I don't know any other way to live. I never been on my own. I'm good with kids though. I could be a babysitter for your kids or a tutor or work in the yard. I can do pretty much anything." Kisara said.

"But Kisara you…."

"Mokuba. Let the girl do what she wants. You can stay the night tonight at our house and get cleaned up. I'll have one of our maids bring you some new clothes to wear and I'll see if I can find you a position with us or with somebody around town."

"Thank you kind sir."

I couldn't believe this. She had the opportunity to leave and she didn't take it. I could help her live on her own but…she just didn't want to take it. At least she is gone from Mik and them but, I can't imagine her going to another family. I want to be able to keep an eye on her and get to know her more. We pulled into our driveway and I helped Kisara inside our house and showed her to the guest room. As soon as I knew she was safe and sound I went to my bedroom to get some shut eye. I knew first thing in the morning that I was going to have to talk to Seto about keeping her here with us. No matter what.

THE NEXT DAY

I walked into Setos office and saw him on the phone. I walked in quietly and sat down on his desk to wait for him to get off the phone.

"Yes can I help you?" Seto said as he placed the phone down

"I wanted to talk about Kisara."

"Look. I can tell that you're attached to her and you want her to stay but I simply do not have a position for her."

"I do though."

"Oh really? And what is that?"

"She can be my tutor."

"We don't know what kind of book smarts she has. You know I want the best for you."

"I know but I'm struggling this semester with all these AP classes you put me in and you know that."

"You aren't doing well because you refuse to pay attention. You too busy hanging around Mik and Derek. Who I really don't want you to hang around with anymore."

"That's fine. I don't want to be around them anyways. Please. She needs a better life bro."

"Fine. I will give her a test to see how smart she is and if she passes I will let her be your tutor."

"Whoo! I can't wait to go tell her."

"Hold it. You are staying here."

"What? Why?"

"Cause. You're going to do your homework in here so if you need help I can help you. Now, I'll be right back. Let me go talk to her."

Yes! The plan worked! I'm not really struggling but I had to say something to get Kisara to stay. She can't leave….I don't know why but I feel a connection to her like I do with Seto. I never want her to leave.

************************************************************************************* (Kisara POV)

Man these last 24 hours have been crazy. There isn't enough makeup in the world to cover these slashes on my back. I am glad I got away from that Gerald dude though. I couldn't stand being his little eye candy anymore for him and his friends. These Kaiba brothers have been very kind to me. I'll do whatever I can to pay him back for everything they have done.

"Miss Kisara may I come in?" a voice came from the other side of my door.

"Yes sir just one minute." I said as I put my shirt back on and straightened my hair up. I ran over to the door and quickly open it. "Yes sir how may I help you?"

"I would like to talk to you about a position that maybe available."

"Oh thank you sir. I'll do anything."

"It's a tutor for my little brother. He says that he is struggling in his classes which I know he isn't. I know he just lied to get you a job."

"Oh no. I'm very sorry if I caused any trouble."

"No it's not trouble. I just know that he has grown to like you and I like to do what I can to help my brother. So, if he does indeed need help you will be here just in case. Can you start right away?"

"Oh yes sir. Will I be sleeping in the shed outside or anything for you sir?"

"Oh hell no. Not that you're not a pretty girl or anything it's just….I'm not like that. Women shouldn't be treated that way. And you can sleep in here if you like. I will also give you 2000.00 to get some better clothes or anything that you need."

"Sir that is way too much. I couldn't accept it."

"I'm not asking. If you're going to work for me and under my name then you have to look the part."

"Yes sir."

"Now, here is the cash and you may go today and start work when you get back."

"Thank you."

I stood there holding the cash in my hand as he walked out the door. I couldn't believe he is really helping me out that much and not only that but he actually said I was pretty….nobody ever called me pretty. It's always been whore, hoe, slut, skank, bitch, hot ass but….he seemed like he actually meant that. Well, I don't have time to wait. I'm going to run down to the store right now and get some clothes so I can start working.

(Mokuba POV)

The weekend had flew by fast and it was Monday once again. The day I have been dreading to come. The day I would have to face Mik and Derek since that night at his house. Roland dropped me off at school and I quickly ran into the building to avoid any contact I had with them but….my luck it didn't happen.

"Hey pretty boy!" Mik said grabbing my arm. "Where you been? You haven't been answering my phone calls."

"I told you I'm not your friend anymore until you learn to change."

"Your brother stole our maid. I have been missing getting to see boobs and ass all day."

"Well maybe it's a lesson for you."

"Or for you." Mik said as he punched me as hard as he could across my face. "Come on. Get up freak."

"I'm not going to fight you Mik."

"Why you chicken? Scared because your brother might get mad at you. Little cry baby."

"I'm not chicken. But I will finish it."

I grabbed Miks legs and pulled him to the ground. I'm not sure what came over me but I started punching him over and over in the face. All I could see was Kisara in my head getting beat up and it made me madder. I was so mad that I didn't even realize the principal had pulled me off of Mik and was now dragging me to his office. What have I done? I never fight. But it just came over me.

"Mr. Kaiba. Would you like to explain yourself? Why were you beating up young Mik?" the principal asked sitting me down in a chair.

"He punched me first."

"Looks like he punched you once. You punched him several times. I even think you broke his nose."

"I have a black eye though."

"Mokuba Kaiba. You know I do not tolerance fighting in my school. I am going to have to call your brother."

"Please no! He is in a very important meeting right now. You can call Roland though. I know my brother has given permission to speak with him."

"Yes I know but this is a serious matter and it concerns your brother."

"Please I'm begin you. I will do anything."

"Mokuba. If you keep talking I will make it 2 weeks suspension instead of one."

I watched in horror as the principal picked up the phone and dialed Setos cell phone number. Not only did I fight but I'm also getting suspended for a week! I have never been suspended. I will really fall behind now because without the teachers I truly do struggle on my own. Plus, I'll be grounded on top of all of this…probably a month. 2 weeks per crime I did as Seto puts it. I watched as the conversation went on and how the principal kept arguing with Seto about that it was truly me fighting and not somebody else.

"Your brother did not seem happy at all. He said he would be here in an hour as the meeting will be over by then. So, you can sit here with your nose in the corner while I go get your homework for the next week."

"My nose in the corner? I'm 15."

"My school. My rules. And since you want to argue you can forget about the sitting and stand in the corner."

I went and faced the corner like some little kid. This is so embarrassing! Me! A Kaiba! Stuck in a corner like some kid all because of a stupid fight and not even a fight but I was defending myself. It felt like ages went on until I heard a door open I turned to look hoping it was the principal coming back with my homework but it wasn't….it was Seto….no correction…..an angry Seto.

"Do you know how mad I am?" Seto said as he shut the door behind him

"Look I can explain."

"Explain? You broke a kid's nose."

"But I have a black eye I was hit first! Wait. Did the principal even tell you who I was hitting?"

"No but does that really matter at this point?"

"It was Mik. He started the fight and I finished it."

"Mik? Probably because of what happened Friday. That still doesn't matter though. I properly stated that you cannot get into fights. It will not look good on me as your guardian or on Kaiba Corp."

"I know but…"

"No. Not only did you get in a fight but you got yourself suspended from school."

"But I was defending myself!"

"You hit the kid over and over enough to break his nose. I know how a fight works. If you were defending yourself you would have done one punch since that's all he landed on you. You took it to the extreme."

"So let me guess grounded for a month?"

"Nope. 2 months."

"2?! What happen to 2 weeks per crime thing?"

"This is a serious event. You got your self-suspended from school plus I'll have to pay for Miks nose to be fixed now and somebody to stay home with you now because I can't take you to work."

"I'm 15 why can't I stay by myself?"

"Because I want to make sure that you study while you're on your punishment plus make sure you don't have your phone or any entertainment. Speaking of which hand it over."

Man…I could not believe this was happening. And it's just Monday. I grabbed my phone out of my jacket and handed it over to Seto. The worst thing I had to do because it means I can't talk to none of my friends anymore

"I know that aunt all you have."

"My iPod too? But I like my music when I study."

"Too bad. Part of punishment. Hand it over."

"Fine. Here. Wait. Why can't Kisara stay with me? I mean she is already my tutor."

"I'll think about it on the way. Now take your backpack."

I followed Seto out the door and down the hallway. I saw the kids staring at me like that never seen anybody get in trouble before. Well, me anyways. I was always the good kid, student council president, Seto Kaiba younger brother. Now that all just went down the drain….even being a good brother.

LATER THAT NIGHT

(Seto POV)

Man what a day. I hate being so hard on the kid but he has to learn now before he gets worse. I don't know what has come over him. I mean I'm looking at his grades right now and he has straight as plus never late, always volunteering. I mean now he going to miss school, have this on his record forever and won't be able to volunteer anymore. I mean what…. *KNOCK KNOCK*

"Who is it?"

"Its Kisara sir. You wanted to see me?"

"Oh yes. Come on in." I watched as she quietly walked in and stood in front of my desk. "Have a seat."

"Is this about young Mokuba?"

"Yes. But it's not what you think. He got suspended from school today so he won't be able to go back until a week. I can't take him to work with me. So I was interested if you would like to stay with him during the day and after school until I get home. I of course would pay your more while he is on punishment."

"Yes sir I will. And you don't have to pay me more. I like the little guy he sweet."

"He can be sometimes. He gets it from our mom. He is not to have his phone, iPod, computer, anything technology wise and no dueling cards. He is to study and do his homework."

"Yes sir."

"Thanks. You may go now. You will start at 7 tomorrow morning after I'm gone."

"Thank you sir."

Man….look at her. I can see why guys want her. She average height, built just right, beautiful hair, beautiful eyes. What am I saying? I don't compliment girls….maybe I actually have a crush….no not me. I'm the Seto Kaiba. I can't have a girlfriend. I have to be mean for my company….but then again my heart never felt like this either.
