The Brother Diaries

Another addition to this story and thank you for all your comments and for viewing my stories a lot : )

With this addition Mokuba is nowhere to be found and is slipping into darker feelings, Seto's going to have to work a little bit quicker on this one and he better hope that Mokuba doesn't read his journal in the end because it'll make a possible split up between the brothers.

Chapter 6

"Mokuba!?" A loud voice boomed, so loud it echoed throughout the entire mansion that both the brother's lived in. "Hello!?" It called yet again, anyone who hadn't been living under a rock for their entire life would recognise this voice because it isn't a voice that can be forgotten to easily, Seto Kaiba. Seto had decided to come out of his home office and go and find Mokuba but there was just one problem... Where was he? He wasn't nowhere to be seen on the whole property, which was strange because at this kind of time Mokuba would've come home from school and be found in his bedroom.

Seto stood in the downstairs hallway and just pondered on where on earth could his younger sibling be. After standing there for like a minute Rowland quickly walked past, rushing around and making sure all of the jobs were getting done correctly, didn't want to anger Kaiba even more. As he walked past he didn't even dare look at Seto Kaiba standing in the hallway, not after earlier in the week.

"Hey!" Seto barked at Rowland, wanting him to stop.

Rowland nervously turned around to face the Kaiba and barely making eye contact, didn't want to irritate him even more. "Y... Yes sir?" He stuttered finally.

"Been doing your normal job? And you've been working around the house like normal, yes?" Seto replied calmly, not wanting to show panic because he didn't want people to think that he couldn't even keep a close eye on his own baby brother, not acceptable.

"Of course, sir." Rowland replied simply and with ease. "Is there something wrong?"

"Ha!" Seto laughed sarcastically, "is there anything wrong? If you've been working as 'normal' then you should've realise that there's something kind of big in this mansion missing."

"And what's that sir?"

"My brother!" Seto barked with annoyance. "Where is he?"

"I'm not his carer sir, I don't have any rights to what he and you are doing at anytime."

"Are you trying to get on my nerves more, has he been gone for days or something?" Seto was getting super irritated at this point, he felt an hot anger rising up him the more he waited.

"I didn't feel the need to really check on him, sir." Rowland replied, getting a little worried at how much Seto was getting wound up. "You personally said that he was nothing for me to be concerned about and you didn't want me butting in because you were sorting things out by yourself with him. So I figured you would be the one to know what he's doing."

"Whatever." Seto spat impatiently. "Have you seen him or not today?"

"Yes."

Seto gave a small sigh of relief to himself, thankful to know someone had seen him, even though didn't like Rowland's tone of what he said before. "Could you please tell me where and what he has been doing today?" Seto finally replied questioningly.

"I think he was being a little naughty today sir."

"Why's that?" Seto curiously asked, started to get a little worried about what he was hearing again.

"From what I've seen today, I believe he didn't go to school today. He was hanging around the house most of the day with a pretty dark expression on his face, that's only getting worse. He didn't say anything all day, just keeping mostly to himself and muttering some things when he did finally speak. Sadly I have no idea where he went, he just seems to have walked off somewhere."

"Dark expression? Ha, he's just playing up yet again, how many times do I need to tell him to grow up?" Seto was being totally insensitive and arrogant, most people say that was his overall and usual personality.

"I think it's serious sir. He doesn't look like he's just 'playing up'."

"Hmmmmm..." Seto didn't have much of an answer for Rowland, it was something he had to take with him to chew on and try to understand. "You sure you don't have any idea where he could be? I just wanted to go and see him." Seto added, in a much softer tone now and in a way showing a deeper part of Seto Kaiba that wasn't shown to often.

"Sorry sir but no. I just noticed him earlier with his usual rucksack and walked out the front door. Didn't bother to mention where he was going or what he was doing. I tried asking him why he didn't go to school like he was supposed to, he just didn't bother really saying much and whatever he did say was in a very low muttering tone. There was just no getting sense out of him sir." Rowland explained and lowered his head in a disappointed failure.

"Right..." Seto slowly replied, by now he'd lost most of his anger by this point but was replaced with something else, worry. "I don't have time for this..." Seto muttered, in a worried annoyed tone.

"Sir."

"Yes?"

"I think your going to have to make time."

"Why's that?"

"I can tell you care about him deeply but sadly Mokuba just doesn't seem to see this as easily. He needs to be shown and told. Don't blame him sir, he just doesn't want to be alone."

"..." For once the great Seto Kaiba didn't have words to reply with, just stood there nodding his head as if he to say he was taking it in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mokuba walked in through the front door casually, as if there was no worry's in the world and was getting ready to go back up to his bedroom, going on what his brother was usually like he knew his brother would be in the office with piles of paperwork to sort, most likely in a touchy mood yet again.

"Mokuba!"

The voice was all to familiar to him but he did question why he was hearing it. Seconds later he saw his elder run into the hallway with a mix of anger and relief in his expression of his face.

"Where were you!?" He roared with annoyance. "I got told that you didn't go into school today but you don't look sick or anything to me..."

"I just didn't feel like. Those teachers are mean and what's the point in taking things like tests? You just blame me for my bad scores anyway." Mokuba sighed in reply, not making any real effort to explain, he was sick of doing that and Seto not caring now.

"Of course your to blame about the grades, it's your work!"

"It's your fault, maybe if you cared about me more then maybe I'd do better."

"You know I'm a busy..." Seto replied with his usual line.

"...Man..." Mokuba butted in and finishing his last word, he'd heard it a thousand time's before. "You just don't listen. It's like with that last maths exam, I told you but you didn't notice till I left it amongst your paperwork and you finally saw it, then you had the nerve to say i didn't tell you."

"Ok, Ok. So I'm not the best of listeners, this is still not acceptable, your not missing more school. And your going to bring that grade right back up, don't know what's gotten into you just of recent. You are a straight 'A' student, I say your following your brother in your smarts, just how I want it, like big brother, like little brother."

"I wouldn't want to what you are." Mokuba muttered, his face darkening.

"What did you say?" Seto frowned.

"You heard me." Mokuba replied. "Your the reason I did so bad at the Math just recent anyway. Making me depressed, stressed and not caring, I don't feel the need to get good grades anymore."

"You will do a better job, it's not acceptable to do that low in your grades." Seto frowned in reply yet again.

"See, don't listen. That's why I don't like you anymore."

"You don't like me? After all the things I've done for you!" Seto roared in anger, he hate those words in the same sentence.

"I rather be alone." Mokuba announced and started make his way to the stairs.

"... I was worried about where you'd gone." Seto was speechless and finally came out with some words but not really what he wanted to say.

"Sure you were." Mokuba said sarcastically. "For your information I never left."

"Huh?"

"I was still on the grounds, just outside." Mokuba snidely explained as he continued walk up the stairs to his bedroom. "I took my journal and was just outside writing and drawing pictures. Just wanted to breath of fresh air."

"Hmmm... May I see those images?"

"No." Mokuba replied simply. "It's a secret. You were the one that made that rule."

"Want to hang out or do something?" Seto asked quickly before Mokuba totally disappeared into his bedroom.

"Na, to late for that now."

"To late?"

"Yes, to late. Should've thought of that earlier." Mokuba said snidely, he was to angry and upset with his brother and considered it to late and it wasn't the fact that Seto wanted to hang out with him, Mokuba knew it was because it was Seto's guilt and he most likely says totally different things in his journal to what he says to his face.

"Come on, wouldn't it be nice?"

"Whatever." Mokuba replied and made his bedroom door give a hard slam that echoed throughout the mansion... Mokuba just seem to carry on slipping into deeper and darker thoughts and feelings, which meant that Mokuba wasn't going to put up with things for much longer...
