Chapter Fourteen
That afternoon when Roland got back from talking to Odeon, he went to Seto's Office and as he walked in, he noticed that Seto was standing at the window and tears were running down his face.
"Son what's wrong?" Odeon asked him.
Seto wiped the tears away and then he turned to his dad and he said, "I wish that I could go back to a time when life wasn't so complicated and I could have a life of my own."
Roland went over to where Seto was standing and he told him, "Son everyone one wishes that from time to time but they also know that if they did then they wouldn't have the things or have the family that they love today. You just have to find that little pathway and when you do then things will fall into place and you'll be back to where you use to be."
Seto went to his father, Roland hugged him, and he prayed that what he said would make sense to Seto. Then Roland told him, "Your mom called, Mokie has been chosen from six students from his school to read their Poetry in front of the entire school and we're invited to go. Mom wants us home in about one hour to get ready, so lets get things wrapped up and go home before she comes looking for us."
Seto laughed and he said, "She will too." So they got what business done and they pulled into up in front of the Manor with minutes to spare and when they got inside Helga was there and she said, "Get upstairs and clean up and I've already laid out what clothes you both are going to wear, now hurry up."
Seto and Roland both burst out laughing as they ran up the stairs and went to their rooms, showered, changed and was back downstairs.
Helga chuckled to herself as she watched them run upstairs and then she motioned to someone in the other room and Mokie came over to her and she said, "See, I promised that your dad would have him here didn't I?"
Mokuba hugged her and then they walked to the kitchen and got some sandwiches and cold milk ready so that they could have something to eat before they left for the school.
When Ishizu had finally gotten the final changes done on the drawings for the new exhibit and she was walking out of the Museum, Odeon was there to meet her.
She smiled at him, he kissed her cheek, and then he said, "We have been invited by Mokuba's mother to go to a special event at his school this evening, so we need to get home, change and get there by five o'clock."
Ishizu said, "Well it's good to see you too."
Odeon turned red and he said, "I'm sorry, but it's been such a trying day today. Let me start over, how was your day? By the way we've been invited to go to Mokuba's school and listen to him and several other students read their Poetry, so we have to get home, get ready and be at the school by five this evening."
They got home changed and had a quick meal before heading to the school. While she was changing, Odeon called Helga and asked her, "Where do we sit?"
Helga wanted to jump up and down when she found out that they were both going to be there, but instead she told him, "Sit in the second row about four seats from the left."
Odeon told her, "We'll see you there." Then he had to hang up the phone before Ishizu found out that was going on. They had something to eat and then they left to go to Mokuba's school. Odeon prayed that everything worked out all right for everyone.
The Auditorium was full of students, parents and family members and on the stage were the students who were asked to read their Poetry.
In the third row were Roland, Helga and Seto and next to him were Ishizu and her brother Odeon. The Principal walked up to the Podium and she said, "I want to thank all of you for coming today. These students have written different Poems and Miss Peterson asked me to allow them to read them to you.
I want each student here to be on their best behavior, we have the parents, family members and guest here today and I want them to know that our students are well behaved. So now I'll turn this program over to Miss Peterson."
"Hello, my name is Miss Peterson and I asked my class to write a poem about their families or a sibling and these young men and women have written excellent poems and I want them to read them to you."
One by one, each student read their poems and when they were through cheers rang through the place and the proud parents and wiped tears from their eyes.
It was Mokuba's turn and when he went to the podium he said, my poem is about the one person who has been there for me no matter what. My Poem's called:
A Brother's Love:
I was just a baby when our mother died and it was not long after that that our father died.
It was then that my brother and I were placed in an Orphanage where if it weren't for my brother's love well I would probably be dead by now.
My brother Seto kept the other kids from teasing and hurting me and he would do little things to make me laugh
Now that we are older and have new parents, well I just wish that my brother could do some of the little things again to make me laugh again
Seto is the CEO of Kaiba Corp. and with the title comes a lot of responsibility and there's almost no time for him to be my brother
My mom and dad tell me just give it some time and he'll come back to being my brother again, but there are sometimes when I get scared and I want my brother to chase away the monsters
Maybe if I wish hard and say a little prayer, he might just realize that his little brother needs him to be his big brother
I will wait for that time when he comes back and says "Hey little brother, want to go get some ice cream?"
I love you big brother.
When Mokuba was done, cheers rang through the place and in the second row, tears ran like rivers. Seto was so proud of his little brother and all of a sudden, he felt a hand on his arm, he turned to see who it was, Ishizu brushed the tears away and she said, "You have a very loving brother."
Seto touched Ishizu to make sure that he wasn't dreaming and then he said, "I know and sometimes I guess I forget but today was a wake up call that I intend to answer."
Mokuba walked off the stage with the other students and they all went to the families and received hugs and kisses from everyone.
Seto looked up, there was his brother, he held out his arms, Mokuba ran to him, Seto hugged him, and he whispered in Mokie's ear, "After we leave here, lets go get some ice cream."
Tears ran down their faces as the two brothers held each other and the Mokie looked and there was Ishizu and Odeon and he smiled at them. Ishizu touched his face and she said, "Your poem was just beautiful."
Mokuba thanked her and then he said, "Seto, could she come with us to get some ice cream?"
Seto looked at Ishizu over his brother's head and she said, "I'd love to come."
Mokuba then said, "Hey, why don't all of us go out for some ice cream?"
Seto and Ishizu looked at each other, they laughed, and she said, "Why do I get the feeling that we've just been had by this little stinker here?" She then hugged Mokie and gave him a kiss on his cheek and he turned beet red. Everyone started laughing and then they all went to the Ice Cream Parlor and had a great time.
