Kaiba's POV
Chapter Four
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do, And I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain
Can show through
I watched as a silver sports car pulled up along side the mansion.
"Go on, Mokuba. Maysaki's sister is here." I said sternly. That's all I've been lately, stern. I was never cold around Mokuba, just everyone else. But something was missing in Mokuba's life, and I didn't know what it was. Finally he had found a friend he could talk to and have fun with. When he started talking to Yugi and the dog, I had pulled him away. He acted like everything was fine, but it wasn't. I could tell from the emptyness when he talked, when he slept, even when he just sat there, silent. And I knew that there was emptyness in me, too.
I crossed my arms over my chest, and tried to put on a soft expression as Mokuba waited by the door for Maysaki to come downstairs. I saw her pink coat bouncing down the steps as she jumped over the last step and onto the ground. Mokuba smiled at Maysaki and then looked at me, and his smile dropped. He walked slowly up to me and gave me an expression I've never seen before. Was he scared of me?? He hugged me tightly and looked up at me.
"I'll see ya later Seto." He smiled, but I could tell it was fake.
I rubbed his head and smiled at him, genuinely, for the first time in a while. I glanced out the window to see a woman in a business suit step out of the car and begin to walk up the steps to the door. The closer she got, the more shocked I felt.
Celeste Kouinichi.
I turned to Maysaki. Of course! She looked exactly like Celeste, the black hair, the light brown eyes, the pale complexion. Damn! How could I have not noticed this before. Maysaki smiled brightly at me.
"Thank you for having me over, Mr. Kaiba." She said in a high-pitched voice. I sneered at her and her eyebrows furrowed.
-Knock-
-Knock-
Mokuba stood on his tip-toes to answer the door but I walked briskly over and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll answer it."
I pulled open the door to reveal Celeste with her head down, digging through her purse. With her head still down, "Hello." She mumbled. I leaned against the door frame smugly, imagining the expression on her face when she saw me. I cleared my throat, "Why hello, Celeste."
Her head snapped up at my voice, a shocked expression upon her face. She looked down at Maysaki, without saying a word to me. Mokuba ran up to her, I tried to pull him back, but he was too quick. I didn't want him talking to that little wench.
"Hi, I'm Mokuba Kaiba!" He stuck out his hand. She shook it, lightly, the confused look still on her face. How long does it take her to catch on?
She looked up at me, "This is your son?"
I gave her strange look, "Brother, you idiot." I growled
Mokuba pulled on my sleeve, hard. "Seto!" He whispered. I shrugged him off and glared at Celeste. She frowned and shook her head as she dragged Maysaki out the door and motioned Mokuba to come along.
"I'll drop them back off at seven." And with that she walked off.
I stared after her retreating form. I'll drop them back off at seven? That was it?? As little as I know about Celeste Kouinichi, it was not like her to just ignore an insult. It was in her nature to accept the challenge, whether she won or not. I shook my head in frustration as I closed the door slowly.
My eyes widened and I stepped back at what I saw.
Right there, standing in the livingroom, was Ryou.
"How did you get in here? I don't appreciate Yugi's little friends just dropping in without permission, Ryou." I stared at him strangely as his eyes burned through mine. From what I remembered, Ryou was a shy boy, he wouldn't go gallivanding (1) into other people's houses.
Without warning he crossed his arms and let out a loud, dark laugh. His hair was tousled around his face oddly, almost covering his eyebrows. And his eyes stared at me in a demonic sort of way almost taunting me. I felt a charge of anger erupt inside my chest and I sneered back at him. No one looked at me like that! I was Seto Kaiba, the one with the cold ice blue eyes that could pierce your soul, the one who could leave you with nothing and you wouldn't even know it until next week. No one looked at me like that.
I opened my mouth to put this Ryou in his place, but I was met with a finger in front of my face.
He smirked at me, "Ah-ah-ah. I know your angry, Mr. Kaiba, I can feel it. That's no reason to get huffy, I am simply here to warn you."
What? Warn me about what? He doesn't have the right to break into my house and then tell me "Not to get huffy" I glared into his smug looking face.
"Warn me about what exactly." I spat.
His grin spread wider across his face as he folded his hands behind his back. He began to circle around me like a vulture, almost sizing me up. "Patient, Seto Kaiba, there's no rush. Firstly, let me inform you that I am most certainly NOT Ryou."
It struck me like a ton of bricks. Bakura!
"I'm glad you've realized that much." I furrowed my eyebrows in shock and took a step backward. He stared at me curiously, then a look of realization passed over his face. "I can sense you want to get down to the point. Very well."
He stopped right in front of my face. "I have come to warn you of your downfall, Mr. Kaiba." My face grew into one of anger. Downfall? What?
"As you know, I have been trying to acquire Yugi Motou's millenium puzzle-"
"And failed miserably." I added.
He let out a slight laugh, "Not this time I won't. Be ready to duel, Kaiba, before the sun sets on this eve. Once I rid myself of you, I'll be one step closer to that millenium item. Say your goodbyes now, once your cast into the shadow realm, you'll never escape!"
A purple sort of dust began to swirl around his feet, and soon it encased (2) him. He let out an evil laugh that echoed in my mind long after he had departed.
I ran outside and into my limo. Mokuba, I had to get him. What if he was next? What if Bakura already had him and was sending him into the shadow realm this very instant. I heard tales of the place, but I never suspected it was real. The shadow realm was supposedly a dark place, with absolutely no life whatsoever. It was like a swirling back hole inside the deepest circle of hell. You saw things that weren't there, you could feel blood spilling out of you when there was no knife. The most terrifying thing about the shadow realm, that you were trapped there until you found an escape.
That was, If it didn't drive you mad first.
