Well it's about lunchtime and Seto went back to work again. The tree is looking nice. The best tree ever! If I do say so myself. I smiled, remembering Seto having a hard time putting on the lights. He obviously doesn't know we still have to put on lights outside. The Kaiba mansion has never had Christmas lights on outside but since I'm organizing this year's Kaiba Mansion Christmas, there will be.
We have to buy some lights though. There aren't any in the storage room. Time to harrass him about going to the mall today.
I ran upstairs to his home office to use his phone. His office at the Kaiba Corp. headquarters is on the speed dial. I couldn't remember the number anyway. The phone rang twice before Seto answered. "Kaiba speaking."
"Big brother, it's me!" I spoke into the phone. "Seto, we have to buy Christmas lights for the mansion to put on outside. Can we go to the mall when you get off work?"
"Mokuba." I could hear him sigh. "We were just at a supermarket yesterday. We couldn't get them then because?"
"Well I just remembered now." I know it sounded stupid.
"I need to get things done."
"But it's Christmas time! Can't it wait?" I wailed into the phone.
There was silence. "Mokuba-"
"Please Seto? PLEASE! I'll be sad if you say no." I pretended to sound like I was going to cry.
"No, Mokuba, don't cry! We'll go. I'll send for you in half an hour."
"Thanks big brother!" I said and hung up the phone." YESSS!"
~~**~~
The limo arrived in exactly half-hour and Seto was in there, waiting for me. He wasn't too enthused about leaving work again. "Thanks again, Seto! I know running a company is hard work but this is more important." I told him as we drove off. He nodded and didn't say anything more.
We reached the mall and it was packed! All the late-goers I guess. Which reminds me. I need to find Seto a present. I usually order from a catalog since Seto never takes me to the mall early enough and the good stuff is usually gone.
We immediately headed for a decoration shop. I chose about 4 big boxes of lights of all different colors. Only one box and a half is usually needed for a normal house but there was a bit of a problem with that amount for ours. I also bought some wrapping paper.
"Hey Seto, I want to go by myself and find your Christmas present." I asked him, already knowing what the answer would be.
"No, you are not going by yourself." Seto answered firmly.
"I was able to go by myself during Battle City! Remember? Please just this once till I'm old enough. I can't have you seeing what I'm going to buy."
Seto hesitated. "I'll give you 40 minutes and you have to be back right here," He pointed to the mall fountain. "By then. All right? Do not go with any strangers much less talk to them unless they are store merchants. Is that clear?"
I smiled. "Crystal." I took off.
**Kaiba's POV**
I have an uneasy feeling about this. It's not easy for me to let him go off by himself after all the times I've nearly lost him. I'll have to let go eventually someday. Today wasn't that day though.
I looked around, annoyed by all the families. So fortunate the children are to have parents. I decided that while I'm here, I might as well go find something for Mokuba. I already bought him gifts but one more couldn't hurt unless he became greedy for them.
**Mokuba's POV**
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a stand in the middle of the mall, selling crystal objects. I walked there for a better look. The crystal shapes were the shapes of Duel Monsters! Cool! Then one crystal caught my eye: one in the shape of a Blue Eyes White Dragon.
That's Seto's favorite card, favorite monster. The Blue Eyes White Dragon. It's like it's a part of his soul, his very being.
I stared at it, mesmerized by its beauty. The clear crystal was colored a light blue and I could see the outlines and features of the dragon clearly. I looked at the price and my eyes widened. Well, I love him and I know he'll like this. I fished out a charge card. It was one of Seto's and he showed me how to use it. It wasn't too hard to use.
The merchant put the dragon carefully in a white box and asked if I wanted it gift-wrapped. I said no, wanting to do it myself. I took the box and the bag with the stuff needed to clean it. I looked at my watch. I had to be back at that fountain in 10 minutes.
**Kaiba POV**
I looked at my watch. 12:50pm and ten more minutes to go. I didn't get Mokuba anything here.
10 minutes flew by and I wondered where he was. Then I heard shouts. "Leave me alone!" Shoppers stood by and watched as my little brother struggled to get out of a "tough" guy's grip. Anger filled me, as I made my way over there. Why didn't these stupid people do anything to help? Calling security wasn't enough.
I stepped up to the guy. "Leave my brother alone." I said coldly.
"Who do you think you are?" The guy asked rudely.
"Seto, help!"
I heard security officers coming. I could not wait any longer. Just the voice of my brother in pain, drove me to the edge. I swung at him and knocked him out.
The officer asked me, "Is this the guy?"
"Yes." I answered flatly. "Arrest him. I will be speaking to your boss about this." I glared at them and left with Mokuba. A good mall would have security people all over at this time of the year. Shoplifters and criminal were everywhere. Not everyone is cheerful on Christmas.
**Mokuba POV**
"Wow Seto!" I was in awe at what had happened. I knew my brother would come for me! I looked up at him and he wasn't smiling.
"Now do you know why I was reluctant to let you go on your own?" He asked me.
"I'm sorry, Seto." I said. We reached the limo.
"Never mind. I'm just glad you're all right." Seto hugged me briefly. Inside, I was happy. I knew Seto loved me. He just doesn't like to show his emotions much.
