The Ties That Bind - CHAPTER 2
By: Takeru Takaishi
"Seto....where are we going?" Mokuba asked, tugging on Seto's shirt sheeve, his eyes darted around them as they walked, following Yugi and his friends to the Kaiba mansion.
Seto clasped a hand around Mokuba's tightly to comfort Mokuba, "We're going to visit...us...in the future."
A little worry settled into Seto's mind after he said that, ~HOW do we know if we're going to where they say we're going? What if...?~
With a firm shake of his head, Seto brushed away these thoughts and told himself that he was just being paranoid.
"Yugi! You're telling us now, you don't know where they live?!" Joey's yelp filled the air.
"Well...I sort of...know...Mokuba told me once that they lived in this...neighborhood.." Yugi said with a nervous smile.
Everyone including Yami sweatdropped and sighed at the same time.
"How hard can it be to find it? They live in a mansion right? That's gotta be huge! We can't pass right by it and not notice it!" Tristan cried out, one hand on his head in amazement.
"Actually...guys...look! We've been walking right outside of it all this time!" Tea cried out, pointing an arm at the huge mansion behind the barred gate, they were walking next to.
"What?!" The whole group yelped at the same time.
The Kaiba mansion was a huge, brick building. It towered above all of the other houses with room to spare, stretching like miles across the land. The front yard was as big as a football field with a long road leading from the gate to the huge, double entrance doors with a small road branching off to another building. Huge and beautiful, the Kaiba mansion was a sight to see...
"Geez...look at this place...A place of THIS size for JUST Kaiba and Mokuba!" Joey complained, as they all walked to the double doors.
"Well...Seto Kaiba does own his own multi-million dollar corporation afterall, Joey.." Bakura said.
Yugi smiled at his friends, reaching up and pressing the doorbell.
~This house belongs....to me?~
DING! DONG!
Behind the double oak doors, the group could hear the sound of feet, slowly walking toward them..
"Hello. Welcome to the residence of Master Seto Kaiba and Master Mokuba Kaiba. May I ask, about your business for coming here?" A tall, grey haired man asked, his black suit suggesting that he was the butler for the mansion.
"Well...I'm Yugi Mutuo. My friends and I were hoping to see Kaiba...I mean.. Seto and ---" Yugi replied nervously, his face in a nervous grin.
Everyone stood at the entrance, bearing their best polite smiles though Seto and Mokuba stood behind them, blocking the butler's view of them.
"Yugi! What are you guys doing here?" Seto and Mokuba heard a boy's voice speak up and the sound of feet going down stairs.
"Mokuba! How are you?" They heard Yugi say, almost hearing his smile in his voice.
At his comment, Seto's eyes widen and immediately tired to reach up on his toes to see what this Mokuba looked liked. Immediately Joey moved in the way, Seto shot a glare at the older boy but the older boy simply hissed back, "Not yet, kid...The butler's still here....we don't want EVERYONE to know about you guys being here!"
Seto's face remained in a scowl though he didn't try anymore....
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking! What are you guys--" Older Mokuba (yes...that's how I'm going to be refering to them as..) began saying before he was interrupted (it's happening alot isn't it in this fan fic? ^^)
"Mokuba...you have better manners than that...Michael, they're our....guests...please go prepare some drinks for us in my study," Another voice said, deeper than any of the group's.
"Yes, Master Seto.."
Seto and Mokuba looked up from the ground, they were staring at and then at each other, each catching the name that was used refering to the voice.
"Kaiba...I..." Yugi began, his voice a bit nervous as to where to start explaining.
"Well, Yugi? It isn't EVERY day that you and your little group come to MY home, what's your business now?" Older Seto asked, his voice betraying little warmth in it to Yugi..
"Big brother...please..." Older Mokuba pleaded to his brother.
"Well...we have some people, which I think you'll find interesting..." Yugi began again, drawing out the tension that everyone now felt.
With that comment, everyone pulled themself aside so Older Seto and Older Mokuba could see Seto and Mokuba and vice versa....
Seto and Mokuba gasped as they saw their older selves. Much had happened over the five years to the Older Seto and Mokuba. Older Seto, stood at an impressive height, towering over Yugi and inches taller than Joey and Tristan. His body was slim and kinda lanky though there was no denying the strength in the arms and body. The hair style was the exact same though the eyes, Seto immediately noticed didn't look like his own anymore. They were less wide open and more hard edged. If the eyes were the windows to a person's soul, then Older Seto's soul was indeed old, much older than his age of fifteen years. Older Mokuba in turn, had the same wide open eyes as his younger counterpart but they seem wiser and less innocent but still had the light of innocence in them. He grew over the five years, now at Seto's height and if his brother's height was any indication, he would be growing up to be a VERY tall man.
"You're me!" Both Mokuba's shouted out at each other, plain awestuck at the sight of each other's presence...
~Cool....~ They both thought at the same instant.
~....~ Seto's mind didn't register anything at all as he stared up at the Older Seto in shock, who simply stared back down at Seto, his face in a rare look of shock, jaw slightly open.
Older Seto's eyes went to Mokuba, then realizing that there were TWO of them, immediately feeling a sense of deja vu and nostagia at the memories, they brought, ~Mokuba and me...at so young of age...so innocent and naive...how is this possible?~
Seto's eyes meet Older Mokuba's, as if, not believing how Mokuba had grown, now his own age or even older perhaps, "Mokuba.."
"Seto...." Older Mokuba whispered, ~you were so different...then....you never had any cares...always wnated to play...what happened...to you?~
"Seto.." Mokuba said, his head cocked to the side before bursting into a wide smile at seeing someone, he recognized, ~It's Seto!~
"MUCH older big brother!" Mokuba cried out happily, pointing to Older Seto and turned to Seto, "Seto! It's you!"
~In a matter of speaking..~ Seto thought to himself, uneasily.
"This is will be interesting.." Older Seto commented, surveying Seto and Mokuba with penatrating eyes then Yugi, who simply shrugged his shoulders.
