Eight Again
Chapter 7: Seto's Birthday
Mokuba had told Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Bakura, and Joey all about Seto's upcoming birthday. "He knows about it himself, but, he always just keeps it quiet, to see if anyone remembers it.", Mokuba finished, which is why I told you when it is.",
"I see, so, Joey you can get the cake, and ice cream, Ryou you can get some decorations, and Bakura, , and myself will all go shop for presents.", Yugi suggested, "Yami will stay here with Kaiba today, and then, maybe you can take him to the park or something while we set everything up.",
Everyone nodded, and so they all went to go get what they had been specified to. Yami just went back inside the room to play with Kaiba for a little while. "Okay, Seto, what do you want to do?", Yami asked.
"Hmmmmm.... I know! Let's build a city with my blocks, an' then we can have a monster attack it!", Seto said with glee.
"Okay.", Yami agreed.
So, they built several cities, and destroyed them all eventually. Then, Kaiba decided to show Yami something, so he picked up the playing cards. "No body except myself knows I can do this, just watch.", Seto picked up the deck, and shuffled it in a dazzling way, "Take a card, I won't look.",
Yami drew the ace of hearts, then put it back, Kaiba shuffled the deck, and then Yami, who gave it back to Kaiba. Seto quickly pulled out one card, "Is this your card?", he asked Yami.
"Yes, it is.", Yami said, calmly.
"No, it isn't.", a quick flip of Seto's hands, and he held out a quarter, "It's your quarter.",
Then, Kaiba flipped it another way, and the quarter became a ball, which when opened, revealed a small envelope, which had Yami's card. "See, this, is your card.", Seto said.
"That's a very impressive talent you have, Seto.", Yami commented.
"No, my Dad says it's no good in the real world, not like computers.", Seto sighed, "I'm gonna go get a drink of water."
It was later that day that everyone arrived again, carrying a ton of stuff.
...
The next day, while Seto was with Yami in the hospital's little park like area, everyone set up. When they all surprised him, Seto hid behind Yami, before noticing it was a surprise party. "Cake first, then presents.", Yugi stated.
Kaiba managed to blow out the candles, and they ate cake. Then came presents, from Ryou a new set of crayons, and from Yami Bakura some new coloring books, from Joey he got a new shirt, from Yugi, a new story book. Last but not least, Yami, who got Seto a chess board. "Wanna play?", Seto asked Yami.
"Sure.", Yami accepted.
As they played, Yami thought up of a question. "Why do you like this game so much?", he asked.
"Because it's based off of a basic system of status, mainly that of Britain. Look, you have your pawns, or peasants, your knights, rooks, bishops, king, and queen. They can do different moves based on rank, the pawns can only move one way forward, the knights can move in an L form, and so on...", Seto rattled off, "That's why it was so popular in medieval times.",
"I see.", Yami nodded.
Not before long, Seto won, because Yami let him, and it was time for bed do to an early appointment with the doctor who, after one more attempt at helping Seto, was going to turn it over to a more so professional doctor in that field.
So, Seto yawned, and had his story read to himself, before falling into deep slumber, as for Yami, he silently kept watch, as though trying to protect Seto from the inevitable pain that was soon in coming....
End Chapter: The next Chapter will be the last, and the ending will be really good, I promise you. And now, you all have to sit back, and wait for the manga version to finish being made by KK.
