Memory Lost

Chapter Four: Lost

Mina woke up early in the morning, her sister passed by her room saying "Today's your first day of babysitting." laughing on her way to the kitchen.

"It's not funny Misa," she said. So what if she had to ''babysit'' some guy only two years older than her? It was a job and right now, she was in no position to decline. Mina took a quick shower and put on a dark green dress, then pinned her hair back with a black butterfly clip.

"So then, what time are you coming back?" Misa asked as Mina was going out the door.

"I'll be back by four at the latest." she answered. Lucky for her, the Kaiba's house was only about a block away so she walked and arrived just as Mokuba was getting ready to leave for school.

"So where's Seto?" Mina asked him.

"He's still asleep. Usually he'd be up by now."

"Okay. This still seems a little weird. So what am I suppose to do with him for the next hour? I doubt he's gonna want to stay in the house all day."

"I don't know, you can take him to the park, he goes there alot to think. A walk around town might help him. And you're right, this is weird."

"Yeah. I'll see you later then. Bye."

"Bye."

As soon as the door closed she sighed, then turned to go up the stairs. Might as well see if he's still breathing. she thought as she went up. When she got to his room she found the door wide open.

"Hello?" Mina said as she went inside. She looked through the whole room but it was empty, not a person in sight. Oh great. My first day and i've already lost the kid ... I mean the ... oh whatever!

Before leaving the room to look for Kaiba, she fixed up the bed and picked up a few clothes that she found lying around. Some thing that she was used to doing when she came to work there. Mina searched the whole top floor but found no sign of him. Where could he be?

Some Where in the house...

He had woken up earlier that morning and decided to walk around the house, trying to figure just how big it was and what he kept in the rooms. He sure didn't think he had enough stuff to fill all of them.Seto wandered around hall after hall, passing room after room and lookin through each one. Some of the rooms were empty, and pretty dusty. I guess these are the ones Mina doesn't clean. he thought.

Some of the rooms were guest rooms, all they had was a bed, a dresser, a small table and a lamp. These rooms too, looked as if they hadn't been used in quite a while. He didn't know how much time passed untill he came to the end of a hall and turned back. But when he did, he notice there were two seperate hall connecting to that one and he couldn't remember which one he had come from.

"I probably shouldn't have wandered off this far." he said to himself. "Now which way to I go to get out of here?"

Kaiba looked around, neither path seemed familiar. In fact, both looked exactly the same to him. Seeing as how just looking at both halls was getting him no where he closed his eyes and just randomly picked a direction. He didn't open his eyes until he was in the hall and looked around him at the brick red colored walls. Some paintings hung along the hall, as well as a few lights that kept him from having to walk in the dark. He got to the end of the hall that ended up a dead end with three rooms right in front of him.

"Probably should have gone the other way," he said to himself. But as he turned to go back up the hall, he heard voices coming from behind one of the doors.

The second hall...

"Seto? where are you?" Mina said as she walked down the hall. She had searched maybe a fourth of the house in no more than an half an hour. Her search, obviously, coming up a failure. She was searching this on last part of the house before going onto the other side, which was mostly more rooms and a back door that she had never been through, much less near. Oh. I am so going to be in trouble if I don't find him. That thought just kept going through her head, along with the thought of what would happen if she got fired. After that thought she ran down the rest of the hall into the one in front. Mina right now could not risk losing her job, especially one that payed so well.

Back With Seto...

Seto stood close to the door, listening to the voices behind it, but not going in. From what he could hear, there were at least two people inside, two people who at the moment seemed to in a very big hurry. And kept arguing with each other.

"Where is that damn thing?"

"How should I know? You're the one who hid it."

"Just keep looking. This room doen't look like anyone's been here recently. So it has to be here."

"Why the hell did you hid it here in the first place?"

"This was the only place my stupid hikari wouldn't think to look."

"There you are Seto. I've been looking all over the place for you."

He turned around to see Mina walking towards him. Well, at least he could get back to his room now. but what should he do about the voices behind the door he wondered.

"Come on. I bet you haven't even had breakfast yet. It's probably already close to lunch." Mina said as she started to pull him back up the hall.

"No, wait. Some one's in there." he said pointing to the door.

"You're crazy. No one comes to this side of the house. Why? I really don't know."

"But I can hear voices coming from behind that door."

"Fine i'll check."

She walked over to the door. When she had started working there, one of the other servents told her that no one went into the halls on that side of the house. According to them it was haunted, to her it was just an excuse to have less cleaning to do. So she listened and didn't go through them. Mina opened the door, hoping to find the room empty and prove to him that it was just his imagination. But when she opened the door, she was the one proved wrong.
