Summary: Pegasus follows Kaiba and convinces him to take a DNA test to end their current ordeal.
…
"What are we going to do Seto?" asked Mokuba.
Kaiba crossed his arms and looked over at him.
"What do you mean?" he growled.
"Well," Mokuba said, "I mean, Pegasus said-"
"That's enough!" Kaiba snapped, "I don't want to hear anymore about this!"
Mokuba frowned and closed his mouth. Kaiba turned his head to face Roland.
"Just take me back to my office," Kaiba ordered, "I have work to do."
"Yes sir," Roland croaked.
Roland quickly made his way through traffic to get back to downtown Domino. It was only minutes before they got back to Kaiba Corp. headquarters. Roland stopped suddenly, causing both Kaiba and Mokuba to jolt forward.
"What are you doing?" Kaiba snapped as he recovered himself.
Before Roland could answer, Kaiba looked out his window and saw a white limousine with P's engraved on the hubcaps, sitting in the parking lot.
"Damn," Kaiba muttered, "he followed us."
Mokuba looked out the window and frowned.
"Sir, do you still want to go in?" Roland asked.
"Sure," Kaiba hissed, as he opened the door, "I'll just have to get rid of him myself."
Roland turned off the car and assisted Mokuba in carrying his bag. Kaiba stormed into the building and pointed his finger.
"You! Out of my building, now!"
Pegasus turned around and frowned. He had an expression of sorrow engraved on his face.
"Seto, I-I know that meeting didn't go as well as I'd hoped-," Pegasus began to sputter.
"I don't care!" Kaiba yelled, cutting him off, "I want you to leave, never come back, and for me to never see your slimy face again!"
Pegasus began to look very annoyed. Workers passing by were now stopping to stare at the growing conflict. Pegasus looked around and noticed this.
"Maybe we should take this somewhere private," he suggested.
"We're not taking this anywhere, old man! I will call security if I have to!"
"Go ahead," Pegasus sighed, as he bowed his head, "do what you must."
Pegasus lifted his head, coming back to eye contact with Kaiba, who hadn't moved an inch.
"Although," Pegasus added, "getting rid of me wouldn't make this problem go away. I know that, and you know that."
Kaiba narrowed his eyes. Pegasus smirked ever so slightly.
"The tension of not knowing the truth would only continue to build inside you. Gnawing at you, day in, day out, until you finally go insane. You're not the kind of man who can live without knowing something; that would be a mockery to your intellect."
Kaiba finally contained his anger.
"What do you want?" he asked more calmly, but still bitterly.
"To prove to you that I'm telling the truth," he replied, "a DNA test. If our DNA doesn't match, I will gladly leave you alone."
"And if it does?" Kaiba asked. Pegasus grinned.
"So you've finally come to accept that possibility?"
"Just answer the question!"
Pegasus sighed and shook his head.
"If so, that's your choice too. You could try to avoid me. But know this: it won't be that easy, I won't let it."
Kaiba stopped to think for a moment. He failed to notice the growing crowd building up at the sidelines.
"So what will it be?" Pegasus asked.
Kaiba looked up and gazed at him coldly.
"I will do whatever it takes to get rid of you…on one condition: my personal doctors will perform the test. That way, you can't bribe them."
"Come now Seto," Pegasus asked with a frown, "do you really think I would sink that low?"
"Do I even have to answer?" Pegasus shut up.
"Alright," he agreed, "let's head over to them right now."
"Now?" Kaiba growled.
"Come now," Pegasus answered with a slight chuckle, "I wouldn't want to give you the chance to skip town."
Kaiba exhaled deeply. He looked around the room, finally noticing the crowd surrounding him.
"Go back to work!" he yelled, "or you're all fired!"
Everyone quickly scurried away. The secretaries went back to their desks and got on their computers. Kaiba walked back outside with Roland, Mokuba, and Pegasus lagging behind him.
"Mokuba," Kaiba said, not turning around, "you stay here. This is personal."
"But-"
Before he could continue to protest, Kaiba was already opening the right side door of the limo. Pegasus got in through the left as Roland adjusted the mirrors. Mokuba sighed as the limo sped off. He quietly, and sadly, made his way back to the office.
…
Mokuba sat at his brother's office desk and played on his brother's computer. After playing solitaire for about six times, he decided to check his e-mails. He logged into his account, and sure enough, he had three new messages: one from Joey, spam from some music company, and one from Yugi.
The message from Joey was just a video clip, and Yugi's was just asking how he was doing. Mokuba was hesitant to tell him anything, for fear of how his brother, and everyone else, would react. However, he needed someone to talk to, and he knew that he could trust Yugi. So, Mokuba began typing his message.
"Not too well. I went to an investigator to get more information about my mom. Seto and I went to his office to get some stuff, and Pegasus barged in and claimed that…well, that he was Seto's dad."
Mokuba reluctantly hit 'send'. Much to his surprise, he instantly got a reply back.
"…you're joking, right? Why would Pegasus have done all those things if he knew Kaiba was his son?"
Mokuba answered back: "He didn't. He only found out when we found out who our mother was, which was just yesterday. I really hate that Millennium Eye."
Mokuba waited for about a minute, he finally got a reply back: "Do you think he's lying?"
"Probably. He's wanted Seto's company forever. I think he'll do just about anything to get his hands on it. But as soon as we get the DNA results back, this whole thing should be over."
As soon as Mokuba sent his message, he heard the door open. He jumped slightly and looked up to see his brother walk in, rubbing his finger. Mokuba quickly logged out.
"Hi Seto…what's wrong with your finger?"
Kaiba sighed and fiddled with the band aid, "the doctors decided that a blood test might be more accurate. We should have the results in about fifteen days."
Mokuba's eyes grew large, and he jumped up, "Fifteen days! That's over two weeks!"
"I know," Kaiba grumbled, "but these things take time. Besides, I made Pegasus promise not to bug me until the results came back."
"What a relief!" Mokuba exclaimed.
Kaiba merely nodded and walked over to his desk. Mokuba stared at him.
"You're not just going to go back to work, are you? Won't it hurt to type with your finger like that?"
"Work keeps me busy," he responded as he sat down, "it keeps my mind off…other things."
Mokuba sighed as he watched his brother being to type away on his computer. He silently prayed that the results would come back negative. If Kaiba couldn't emotionally handle the ordeal at the moment, how would he deal with having his most hated enemy as a biological father? Mokuba hoped he would never have to find out.
A/N: The next chapter will cover the period of the two weeks, so there won't be too much drama going on. Merry Christmas everyone!
