Chapter 29
Haunted by Blue Eyes
The morning after Harry's dream and Bakura's kidnapping, Seto Kaiba was calmly sleeping…at least until a very grouchy Professor Snape banged on his door demanding to be let inside.
Truth be told, he was almost glad he had been awoken at first. He was having a very odd dream about riding in the desert with a woman. Someone was after them; someone that he was going to make sure did not get the girl…
However, this gratitude only lasted a few moments before it was consumed by exasperation.
Groaning in irritation, Kaiba rolled out of bed, put on something appropriate, and opened the door, his I'm-a-CEO-and-I-Have-Money-So-Don't-Mess-With-Me expression firmly on his face. Kaiba said nothing to Snape, he waited for the irritated looking Professor to tell him why he was here bothering him.
"Your friend Bakura has been assaulted…fortunately he survived with the aid of his little ghost friend." Snape said in a sneering tone.
Kaiba blinked "Bakura is not my friend. What are you talking about when you say 'his ghost friend'?"
"The creature he calls yami."
"…so it's real? Interesting. I always thought he was merely psychotic." Kaiba said mildly.
Snape mentally cursed. So the boy did not know about these "yamis" after all. Pity.
"Is that all?" Kaiba asked with what he thought was much patience.
"I suppose…but if you remember anything about these 'yamis', anything they might have mentioned in passing…"
Kaiba grunted and shut the door on Snape's face. There was no way he was going to tell that strange man anything.
As he turned from the door he thought he saw an indistinct translucent somebody out of the corner of his eye. He only got a glimpse of a female with bluish white hair and blue eyes, but when he turned to get a better look she was gone.
I did not just see that. Kaiba thought. There was no women here. Not at all.
Pointedly not thinking about the person he was sure he did not see, Kaiba started packing to get ready for the train home tomorrow. He had just one day left in this place before he could go home and see his brother.
Kaiba spent the rest of the day wasting time and not doing much at all. He also made absolutely certain that he did not see the women anymore that day.
Nope, not at all.
Finally, after an irritating day and night (and no he did NOT have ANY dreams about a Blue-Eyes White Dragon telling him that it loved him. NOT AT ALL) Kaiba was riding the train back to Kings Cross Station. He had already phoned his limo service to meet him there. A competitive part of him was hoping that he could strut his money in front of Malfoy, who Kaiba by now hated much more then he even loathed Pegasus. It would feel good to rub the boy's nose in it.
As he had hoped the limo was there, complete with a pair of rather burly looking bodyguards that put Crabbe and Goyle to shame, mainly because these two not only looked like Men In Black, but they also looked professional.
Kaiba noticed a man who looked a lot like Malfoy standing around the train station with an expression on his face that suggested that the rest of the world can just go ahead and kiss his shiny black shoes, thank you very much.
"There he is, Father! The Mudblood I told you about!" Malfoy looked and acted more like a whiny child running to daddy then anything else. The older man's eyes snapped to Kaiba and narrowed even more.
Kaiba laughed "So, you must be the father that this little mutt goes to for help whenever someone sneezes at him."
"I would watch my mouth if I were you. My contributions to the Minestry of Magic-"
"Heh, don't start with me. I run my own company, fool, and I think I know more about the world than you do! I don't need to kiss up to a Ministry; I own twelve islands for crying out loud! I own a worldwide franchise that brings in millions of cash to my bank accounts every single day. What do you have, really? A bunch of old dusty relics in a single old Victorian mansion? Don't make me laugh. Now out of my way before I lose my temper!" With that Kaiba shoved past the Malfoys with a contemptuous look.
Kaiba could feel Malfoy's killing glare follow him as he stepped into his limo, but Kaiba did not care.
And no, he certainly did not see the reflection of a woman in the glass of his limo.
Nope, not at all.
One flight later via Blue-Eyes White Jet, Kaiba was literally landing on the roof of his very expensive mansion (which, by the way, was not in the least bit Victorian). He was then assaulted by a pre-teen with messy black hair.
"SETO!" Mokuba yelled as he gave his big brother a rather large hug. "I missed you! How have you been? What's the school like? Can you show me some magic?"
"I missed you too, Mokuba. Fine. The school is…old and no I can't show you magic until I'm eighteen. Sorry."
Mokuba shrugged "Aw, that's okay. Come on! It's lunch time! Let's go eat! Tell me all about…everything!"
Seto gave one of his rare genuine laughs that only his little brother really knew about and let the energetic kid drag him into their home.
He spent the rest of the evening telling Mokuba about the school. The boy was amazed and envious.
"And Yugi, Bakura and Marik are all there as well…wait…isn't that kind of strange?" Mokuba asked.
"I never really thought about that…" Kaiba shrugged.
"Well, think about it, the four of you where involved in the Battle City finals. And I don't care what you say, there was some real magic going on there. Maybe this has to do with that destiny Ishizu was talking about-"
"No Mokuba. I can accept magic now. I have seen it myself. But I won't believe in this destiny garbage. I make my own way and my own rules!"
Mokuba sighed. How did his brother become so stubborn?
That night Kaiba made some last minute adjustments to the security systems, he was not going to take any chances on security, after all what happened to Bakura could happen to him or worse to his brother. He felt a small twinge of guilt and sympathy when he thought about Bakura. Maybe he should send the boy a gift basket…or something…
Kaiba began to nod off…was that the girl he was seeing again…
Seto…
Huh?
Seto…
This was not happening.
It's me…Seto why don't you remember?
Remember?
Seto, it's me!
Who?
Kisara
Kisara?
He could see her. A dragon. A White Dragon.
A Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Please remember me, my love…
Kaiba jerked awake. For a moment he thought he saw the women standing in front of him, giving him a mournful look.
He closed his eyes and convinced himself that he had seen nothing.
Nope, nothing at all…
A/N: Yeah, I know, it's really really short…but I felt that this was the best time to stop the chapter…
