Chapter Three
It didn't take long for them to arrive. Jou smirked as he looked out at Atemu's sports car parked beside his car. The former pharaoh released the location of his own tomb and him and his little lover has been living off those funds ever since. "Where is the little fool," Atemu growled as he walked into the house.
"Atemu, be nice. I'm sure Kaiba didn't want this happening."
"That's not why he's a fool," Atemu said, hinting at something that none of the others would understand.
Jou lead them into the living room. "He's under the desk, refusing to come out."
Yugi gave Atemu a sad look. The former pharaoh sighed and went on one side of the desk while Jou moved to the other. The two lifted the desk while Yugi reached under and grabbed the squirming kitten. "Easy, Kaiba. We aren't going to hurt you." Seto bit Yugi's hand, causing the tri-colored man to drop him. Seto ran to the other side of the room and stood there with his back arched and hissing.
He jumped out of the way and ran into another room as Atemu lunged at him. He continued to dodge them and running around the house until Jou slammed a box over his head. He tried banging against the side and top, but the box didn't budge. Hands reached in and grabbed him, tying a rope around his neck and securing him to the leg of a couch. Seto tugged at the rope, but it refused to yield to him. "Will you stop? How can we help you if you run around the house like a fool?"
Atemu knelt down in front of the kitten and looked at him. "It's a spell of some kind."
Seto rolled his eyes. He could have told the pharaoh that. He sat down and puffed his chest out. He never wanted to show Atemu of all people any weakness, but his strength was quickly leaving him. He didn't know why he was a kitten and craved the quiet peace of his office even if it was lonely and stressful at times. Yugi walked over to him and pick him up. Not liking to be touched, Seto scrummed in his grasp, but Yugi refused to let go. "I'm sorry, Seto. You must have been really lonely this past year. Mokuba told me about his wedding and moving out, but he didn't say much about it. He seemed sort of angry at that time. I didn't ask him much about it. This could be the gods showing you where to find your happiness."
"Aibou, the gods don't interact with the human race anymore. This would have to be something else. And, how do you know that Kaiba was lonely without his brother?"
Jou dropped his phone on the desk and sighed. "He hasn't been staying at home. Apparently the staff all knows that Seto lives in his office." Jou knelt down in front of Yugi who was gently stroking a now settled Seto. "All the money in the world doesn't buy you friends. I think this is payback. It'll teach you want it truly means to be alone with no one to help you."
"Jou," Yugi hissed, pulling the kitten into his chest. "I'll help him even if you don't want to." Yugi got up and untied Seto before walking out of the house. "Coming, Atemu?"
The former pharaoh sighed. "I'm sure that if it was in Kaiba's nature to thank you he would. In the mean time, I guess we'll take him and find some way to change him back." Atemu patted Jou on the shoulder. "Try to be easier on Kaiba in the future. I'm sure he regrets not having any friends now."
Atemu walked to the car and sat down next to his lover. He frowned at the sad expression on Yugi's face while he stroked the surprisingly still calm CEO. "Don't worry, Kaiba, we'll get you back to normal. Someway." He leaned over and kissed Yugi's cheek before starting the car and driving back to their house.
The house wasn't as large as Kaiba's mansion, but it was surrounded by a large steel gate and the driveway was long and full of trees and flowers. Atemu parked the car to the side of the entrance and walked in followed closely behind Yugi with Seto staring about. Atemu shut the alarm off. "I'll see if any of those spell books Malik found earlier this year can help us."
Yugi nodded and carried Seto up to their bedroom. The kitten stayed where Yugi set him. He had no desire to fight. Whatever force turned him into the small animal had plans for him. At that point in his life he didn't care. Yugi moved over to the bed and sat down next to Seto. "How did Jou communicate with you?"
Seto sighed and jumped off the bed. He moved easier now that he was getting used to his new body. Jumping first onto the chair and then onto the desk, Seto sat in front of the computer. Yugi giggled. "You can type with those paws?" Seto rolled his eyes and jumped off the desk, landing hard on the floor but surprisingly it didn't hurt. "Wait. I wanted to ask you some things." Yugi picked Seto up and placed him on the desk while he waited for the computer to wake up. He reorganized the desk for Seto to easily type on. "What happened between you and Mokuba?" Seto stared at the blank word document. He had no desire to talk about his personal life with someone he called his rival.
Yugi watched the kitten before Seto finally typed. "What happened with Jou?"
Confused, Yugi stared at Seto. "What do you mean? He went to college and finished his degree in six years. He worked really hard for that degree. Don't tell me you expected him to do nothing with his life."
"Not what I meant."
"Oh, about his rough nature. He still hates you, but I think there's something more to it. Why won't you answer me about Mokuba? Maybe this is something linked."
"Not likely."
"Why can't we get in contact with him?"
"Don't know."
"Then who would have noticed that you were missing?"
"My staff. They would have called the mansion when I didn't arrive that morning. I still have security there."
Atemu walked into the bedroom and slammed the thick, dusty book on the desk, causing the kitten to sneeze. "Sorry Kaiba, I can't find anything that would even come close to curing you. I can't even find any clues on what would have caused you to turn into a kitten. Do your old priest memories have any clues?" Seto shook his head, choosing not to pretend like he didn't believe in past lives anymore. "I guess the only thing we can do is wait."
"I'll keep trying to get in contact with Mokuba."
Seto meowed to get Yugi's attention before he left the room. He typed one word on that screen, "My laptop."
"Why would you need it?"
"To work from here."
Atemu sighed. "Where is it?"
"At the office. I'll send an email from here telling them that you're coming." Seto stood on his back legs and pushed the mouse. He growled at the difficult time he was having, but eventually managed to open his email account. Yugi watched, knowing not to offer the proud man help. After the email was sent, Atemu left for Kaiba Corp.
Yugi picked Seto up and carried him into the kitchen. "You must be hungry." Seto shook his head. He didn't feel anything. "What are we going to do about you going to the bathroom?"
Seto's eyes widened. He never thought of it. He moved and jumped out of Yugi's arms and walked around the floor. The tilted floor was slightly cold, but he quickly walked around the large house. Yugi watched him wander as he sniffed random objects. He smiled when the robot vacuum came out from under the couch, scaring the kitten. Seto clung to the couch's armrest and glared down at the object. He jumped and landed directly on the vacuum, causing it to move in a different direction. He didn't know that a moving object could be playful. He followed it under the couch, making it suddenly turn and go back to the middle of the floor.
Seto didn't notice Yugi snickering from his seat in the chair, nor Atemu returning with his laptop. "How long has he been doing that?"
"Almost the entire time you've been gone," Yugi snickered.
A strange smell bombarded Seto's senses as he looked up at Atemu, holding his laptop. He never knew how much cologne he used until he smelt the laptop. Atemu placed the laptop on the floor and watched as Seto moved around the device. "Your guard didn't give me any hard time. He wishes you feel better too."
Seto stared up at him. "I told them that you were sick and had no voice. It explained why you couldn't answer anyone. I said you were recovering with me since you were extremely sick and someone needed to help you." Seto glared at the former pharaoh. "What? I thought it was the perfect idea. The only emails you'll get is the emergencies. Everything else would be filtered to your other account." Seto was impressed by how much Atemu planned everything even though he didn't like the idea of people seeing him as weak because he couldn't be alone while sick. It did make things easier to explain though.
Seto stared at his email and started to select the first one, ignoring the two in the room, while he struggled to get the mouse to click right. He knew that he could easily ask them for help opening the emails at least, but he couldn't get pass his pride. He sat there for several hours, struggling to open one email after the other. It was slightly difficult to read the emails, but he managed. Yugi and Atemu stayed as close to Seto as possible without disturbing the CEO. Neither one of them could convince Seto to eat anything. Seto didn't want to risk having to find an alternative to the bathroom even though while he was in the cage he did use the newspapers. It was embarrassing, and he wished not to repeat that. The sun set quickly before Seto decided to quit for the night.
The smell of dinner vanished from the room, and Seto could hear a faint sound of snoring. He glanced up at the clock and saw that it was past midnight. Unable to ignore the urges for the bathroom, Seto walked around the house until he found a bathroom attached to Yugi and Atemu's room. He crept by them, not wanting to wake him until he knew if his plan would work. Luckily the toilet seat remained up. He carefully landed on the rim and struggled to position himself over the large hole. Finally, he unleashed his bladder with a triumphant smile. "No litter box for me," Seto thought. He walked over to the handle and flushed the toilet. Jumping off quickly to avoid being splashed with anything, Seto moved out to the bedroom.
The two lovers didn't budge to the noise. He debated on falling asleep next to them or just sleep in the living room. He sighed and headed back down the long hallway and stairs. The laptop remained on. Seto ignored it and curled next to the fan where he could feel the heat from the electronic device. He yawned and put his head down. He was extremely uncomfortable on the floor, but didn't want to upset his two rivals but either sleeping in the same bed as them or on their couch.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Soon will be the reveal on what happened between Mokuba and Seto, but you won't meet Mokuba's wife for at least one chapter after that. I'll see you all tomorrow!
