Eight Again
Chapter 6: Peggy, and Seto
Dear Fans,
(Giggles) One, my co- partner, the KK, is very busy with making into a manga... She's also running out of paper.... Though, I haven't gotten an e- mail since she posted chapter 2, in manga form, I figure everything's going fine.... I've been debating over one of my chapters, so, as always, I need you're help, I'm giving you two choices yes, or no. Here's the question, Should I include a chapter with his (Seto's) birthday in it, or not? You can still write comments, just leave a direct Yes, or no, answer somewhere in there.
Sincerely,
FB

Pegasus arrived at the hospital earlier than expected. 'This will be a perfect chance at trying to take over his company again....', he chuckled to himself evilly as he thought over stealing Seto's soul again, before deciding that's what he was going to do, 'Too bad for him Yugi had no one else to turn to but me... I wonder how he ended up in the hospital in the first place?', he wondered, placing a finger to his lips in thought. "Who cares? As long as it provides me a second chance at getting Kaiba Corp?", Pegasus stated.
...
After checking which room at the front desk, Pegasus made his way towards the elevator. He found the room without trouble, and snuck in after finding Seto still asleep. 'For pete's sake! I thought Kaiba was usually up at the crack of dawn! It's ten- thirty!', he thought to himself.
He didn't have to wait long before Kaiba woke up... "Good morning Kaiba- boy.", Pegasus stated, with an evil grin, and chuckle.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!", Seto screamed scrambling out of bed, only to fall onto the floor, "Wh- wh- where's Yami, and Yugi?!",
"Not here, I'm afraid, it's just you and me...", Pegasus informed.
"I want- I want- Iiiiiieee!", Seto's eyes started to brim with tears.
Pegasus blinked a couple times, and didn't note the problem he had caused himself, until too late.... "YAMI!!!!!!!!", Seto yelled, and started crying.
"Um.....", Pegasus blinked a couple times.
Lucky for him, Ryou worked as a volunteer at the hospital, and, having to serve the floor that Seto was on their breakfast, and such. He also had to know why the patients were there in the first place. (Hence he knew about Seto.) Anyway, he entered Seto's room right then.... "Hmmm?", Ryou mumbled when he came in on this scene, "Seto, what's wrong? Why are you on the floor crying?",
Seto responded only by pointing a finger at Pegasus, and continued to cry. After which, Ryou glared at Pegasus. "What did you do to him, you ass?", Ryou unlike himself, asked.
"He was laughing all evilly, and he was acting mean to me!", Seto pouted.
"I- I....", for once, Pegasus had no grand come back to state.
"Didn't Yugi tell you anything as to why he's here?", Ryou sighed.
"No.", Peggy responded.
"Seto here got a good hit in the head, and thinks he's eight years old.", Ryou explained, "That's also why they needed you to stay with him until the two of them return from Tokyo.",
"...", Pegasus just nodded, "So?....",
"No stealing his soul, or taking over his company, or else I'll sick my Yami on you!", Ryou warned, "Because you know I can get him to do anything for chocolate.",
"...", Pegasus feebly nodded.
"Good, now, Seto, I'll be back later this afternoon after I'm done with my work for today.", Seto explained.
"Okay! Thank- you Bakura!", Seto said, waving good- bye to Ryou.
'Okay, not what I had planned on... But, still, he can't be too hard to look after...', Pegasus thought to himself, "Why don't you just watch some cartoons, okay?",
"Um... I don't know what those are, but... I do watch the National Geographic channel, and Discovery channels!", Kaiba explained.
"Okay, just, watch something.", Pegasus said.
"You have to keep an eye on how much TV I watch, I'm only allowed an hour.", he explained.
"... Okay.", Pegasus agreed, "But, why?",
"Because TV's bad for your brain...", Seto explained, "I'll tell you a secret though, I can to algebraic expressions already, but Dad doesn't want me to advance, says it'll give me too much confidence...",
...
Pegasus had followed all of what Ryou had said to do, and had sent Seto off to take a shower, and now glared at the mess in front of himself. "He's much harder to care for than I previously thought....", Peggy told himself, as he reached down to pick up some blocks.
"I'm getting sleepy...", Seto yawned, coming out of the bathroom.
"Well, then, it's time you went to bed, Kaiba- boy.", Pegasus stated, grimly.
Seto just giggled, "No, not yet, first, you have to read me a story.",
"Okay, what one?", Pegasus asked.
"Well, Yugi was having Yami read to me Treasure Island.", Seto stated, "But, I liked the Grimms Tales better.",
"Hmmm... Okay... Grimms Tales then.", Pegasus tossed the rest of the toys in the box, before grabbing the book, and opening it up.
...
It was two days later that Yami, and Yugi returned, to a bright eyed, and rather cheerful Seto. "Yami!", he exclaimed with delight, nearly toppling the poor boy over.
"I missed you too....", came a reply.
"I hope he didn't cause much of a trouble, I forgot to tell you why he was here, didn't I?", Yugi asked.
"He was fine, just, fine....", Pegasus sighed.
"Does Peggy hafta go?", Kaiba pouted.
"He might come back to watch you if we need to go someplace maybe.", Yugi said, beaming, "That is if he really wants to.",
"Uh.... No problem, I think...", Pegasus thought out loud.
...
The next day Mokuba showed up... With some news, but he really didn't want to discuss it around Seto for some reason. "What's so important you can't tell him about it?", Yugi asked.
"Well, you see, it was a long time ago, but... I found some case files involving the man that adopted us...", Mokuba said, "Even though I didn't know about it, but now it all makes sense.",
"What makes sense?", Yami asked.
"Well, they were from a neighbor, who suspected that he... That he was hurting somebody in the house...", Mokuba explained, "According to the papers, when they questioned Seto, he seemed.... Uneasy, scared, I guess, but he wouldn't answer directly, and kept looking over at our adoptive father.",
"So, what would make it all make sense?", Yugi wondered.
"Some nights, he would tell Seto to stay downstairs, while I went to bed, only to here him yelling, and some slamming, and screams, and then when Seto would come upstairs, he would be shaking all over, and cold with sweat, and blood.", Mokuba answered, "I- I guess it made no sense when I was younger, but, now that I seen that, it does.",
"You mean, you think that man abused Seto?", Yami said, holding back the anger that nearly forced it's way out of him.
"Yes, but... I don't think he'll admit to it...", Mokuba said, quietly, "You see, if he thinks he's eight, than that means he thinks that our adoptive father is still alive. If that's what he thinks, then Seto's more afraid of that man, than dieing.",
"That would explain why he got so upset over telling me that he was beaten before.", Yami provided.
"So, it would seem.", Mokuba stated.
Another day had yet, again passed, and as Seto sat there, playing, Yami felt anger at anyone who would hurt that innocence, and shatter a child's life... But, for Seto's sake, he had to not show a sign of what he knew.
End Chapter: I think, only two more chapters to go, so that I can (Maybe, not sure yet.) Do the sequel to Chibi Games, and start another Neko fic, because FF.Net took my NC- 17 one off, darn them. Anyway, look forward to the next chappie! And don't forget to look me up, Funny Bunny on mediaminer.org!
