The Curse Comes True

Hello everybody! The next chapter of 'Sleeping Mokuba' is here! In this chapter- the curse falls on Mokuba after thirteen years. What happens next? Well read on to find out! I own nothing except my girl, Rori Moto!

A little while later, everyone headed for home. Mokuba stretched out on his brother's stomach, snuggling up close.

'Did you enjoy your birthday party Mokie?' asked Kaiba. Mokuba smiled at him. 'I did big brother. Thank you so much.' he answered. Kaiba stroked his hair lovingly. 'You're welcome baby. I love you.' he said kissing Mokuba's forehead softly.

Suddenly the phone rang. Kaiba sighed and grabbed it and pressed the button. 'Yes?' he spoke.

There was a pause. Then Seto said 'Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes.' and hung up. He turned to Mokuba.

'I have to back to the office Mokuba. I promise I'll only be a half-hour.' he said sadly. Mokuba smiled at him. 'It's okay big brother. I'm gonna go upstairs and rest for a while.' he told him.

Seto kissed Mokuba's forehead softly. 'Thanks for being so understanding baby. I'll be home soon. See you later.' he said and walked out the door. Mokuba jumped off the couch and headed upstairs to his room.

Outside, behind a tree, Raphael, Alister and Valon watched Kaiba drive off. 'Alright, let's go.' said Raphael. They climbed in through an open window and looked around quickly. 'He might be upstairs. Let's go.' whispered Alister.

Upstairs, Mokuba stretched out on his bed and snuggled down happily. He felt so happy right now that nothing could spoil this for him.

Except for one thing.

'Mokuba... Mokuba...' echoed a voice. A small green orb of light appeared, opening a passage in the wall.

'Mokuba... Mokuba...' the voice called again.

Mokuba sat up in bed and noticed the light. 'Weird...' he whispered.

'Mokuba...'

'What's this all about?' he thought as he jumped off the bed and headed towards the light. The light led Mokuba to a hidden passage.

Meanwhile, Raphael, Valon and Alister were rushing up the stairs when Alister felt a sense of dark power nearby. 'Dartz! He's in here!' he cried, pushing open the door. The three men rushed inside...just as the secret passage closed behind Mokuba.

'Oh no! No! Mokuba!' yelled Alister.

The light flew gently up the stairs. Mokuba followed it curiously. 'What is this?' he whispered.

'Push! Push!' grunted Valon as they shoved at the wall. 'Hold on!' said Raphael. He clicked his fingers and the wall revealed the secret passage. They ran through quickly.

'Mokuba! Mokuba! Where are you? Mokuba! Mokuba!' they called desperately.

Meanwhile at the Game Shop...

Rori was in the kitchen, getting a drink when suddenly her brooch began to glow. 'What's going on?' she thought.

A white haired woman stood before her.

Kisara.

'Aurora, you must return to the Kaiba mansion. Mokuba is in great danger. You must go now!' she said.

Rori was stunned. Mokuba was in danger? But how? And who was behind this?

But she had no time for questions! She had to get to the Kaiba mansion. And quickly!

At the Kaiba mansion...

Mokuba continued to follow the light up the long winding stairs. Raphael, Valon and Alister hurried up as fast as they could. 'Wait Mokuba! Please! Stop!' yelled Alister.

But unfortunately, Mokuba didn't hear them.

He continued to follow the light up into a small room at the top of the stairs.

A spinning wheel appeared in front of him.

'Woah, what's going on?' he breathed.

Valon, Raphael and Alister were getting closer towards the little boy. 'Mokuba! Whatever you do, don't touch anything!' yelled Raphael.

'Who's there?!' called Mokuba. He heard them! But unfortunately Dartz was one step ahead of them.

The green orb latched onto Mokuba's hand, pulling him towards the spinning wheel. Mokuba tried to break free but the power was too strong.

It dragged Mokuba to the spindle.

'What's happening?! Seto! Seto, help me! No! Noooooooooooo!' screamed Mokuba as his finger touched the spindle.

Valon, Alister and Raphael ran into the room to find Dartz standing before them.

'You poor simple fools. Thinking that you could outwit me. Me! The Master of the Orichalchos!' he sneered.

'Well here's your precious little boy!' Dartz swept away his cloak revealing Mokuba sprawled on the floor. Raphael, Valon and Alister recoiled at the sight.

Dartz let out a cruel sickening laugh before he disappeared.

Alister rushed to Mokuba's side. Tears trickled down his cheeks. 'I'm so sorry little Mokuba. It's all my fault.' he whispered. Raphael put a hand on his shoulder. 'We're all to blame for this Alister. If only we got here in time...' He didn't have to say anymore.

Outside the room, the sun set on the horizon. The curse had come true. After thirteen years, it had come true.

They did their best but had come just too late.

To Be Continued. Next chapter, the boys try to come up with a plan to awaken Mokuba-and when Kaiba and the gang return to the mansion, somebody is there and it's not Mokuba! All will be revealed in the next chapter! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter- even though it is very short! (Sorry!) Until next time- R&R!
