*******************************On to da ficcie!********************************
"….OTHER!! BIG BROTHER!!" A shout pierced the warm silence, Seto almost yelped in shock, looking up, Mokuba grinned broadly
"Mokuba…" groaned Seto as his brother grabbed him and pulled him up from the leather seat.
"I'm hungry, can we order Chinese? I fancy so Lo mein" Mokuba happily pulled his brother, who felt like rigid Jell-O, towards the house.
Seto followed, too tired to protest and too fuzzy to walk by himself "Okay…" he mumbled softly Mokuba pulled him inside and closed the door with a firm slam.
He was staring up at the ceiling, at a pattern in white plaster. Almost everything in his jungle paradise home was white, he wasn't even sure where it came from but it was calming, the silk sheets were now smeared with bird blood and a few bright feathers but he didn't care. The other bird was now singing a song like a requiem, he looked at the bird, it was a Quetzal Bird, the ones from his storybook. He blinked did he still have that old thing? Yes he mused to himself, he must have, the Illustrated Book Of Myths. In it his favourite story was the Aztec one about The Plumed Serpent –Quetzalcoatl– Aztecs.. he'd done them briefly at school hadn't he? Yes he remembered making some Aztec food, Tortillas, and reading those fact books. His favourite in the Theology of Aztecs had been Tezcatlipoca "Smoking Mirror" the God of Warriors, Thunderbolts and the Night sky. He was a villain, he tricked his brother, he was cunning and evil he made his brother kill himself after he done terrible things under the influence of alcohol. He also liked Shiva, the Destroyer and any Gods or Goddesses that were evil interested him, like Lilith suddenly he laughed loudly again, why was he thinking of Gods? Surely he was proof that they were not Real. He snickered to himself like he had told an amusing joke. He thought back to when he had access to paper books, he wasn't like this then. He was sane? He snorted at himself, even he questioned his own mind frame. How sad.
Finally his eyes drooped, lashes feeling heavy as he yawned loudly, things better have been finished by the time he was awake… or else there would be trouble for all those fools that served him.
"Mmmmmmm" Mokuba hungrily sniffed the food as Seto took the hot bright take-away trays from their white bag and tried to read the hurried numbers on the boxes.
"Uhhh I think this is yours?" he frowned at what looked like a big S and a 6 maybe crossed with a 7 too?
Mokuba looked and nodded "Yup!"
Seto shook his head, that boy had a knack for cryptic writing and deciphering it "Okay…" He stared at another box then let Mokuba sort them out. Seto wondered why he felt so stiff and so tired, but then he knew that Mokuba would happily give him the "now mister you work too hard" lecture, he chuckled softly, Mokuba would be a great Grandpa.
Mokuba finally had all the food laid out ready on plates, he then ran to grab the sodas and carried them in to his spaced out brother "Ni-Sama? Are you sure that you are going to eat that food and not sleep in it?"
Seto looked up and shook his head "Oh sorry lil man, I'm just shattered. I'll eat then I'll go to bed okay?"
Mokuba gave his brother a worried glance then nodded "If you're sure you can keep your eyes open long enough?"
Seto snorted at his brother and ruffled his head "Hey you. I'm not a zombie you know."
"Coulda fooled me big brother"
Seto laughed slightly "That bad?" Mokuba nodded "Thanks."
Dreams were uneventful, repetitive the same nightmare he was happy enough, until it hit it was a shock the sudden impact, he could even remember the pain and the shrill shriek he made as he flew, he could see red, blood dripped down his forehead. He landed with a heavy 'crumple' then-- He bolted up panting, he looked around, the nightmare again his fate. The death he suffered. He gripped the silk sheets, watching it tear as he brought his nails down it. He flopped back down and panted. These dreams.. no memories painful mad memories that hurt, hurt him so bad that image of blood, before he passed in to whiteness only to come back. Well not in body. In mind only. A piece of computer 'data' a 'brain' he snorted at himself he was like some freaky science fiction monster "Made on the Net!!!" sounded like a cheep movie caption. He couldn't help but sneer was that all he was? A monster? No. He was more! He was a God he was wonderful! Brilliant! A genius! He would show them and most of all he would show HIM that … that thing would pay he settled back down, dreams focused now on his revenge. He smirked as he drifted to his dreaming.
Seto flopped on his bed, face first, just barley managing to slip on some pyjamas he sighed and closed his eyes, sleep creeping over him like a warm wave, he snuggled in to his covers and drifted off in to the embrace of sleep.
Wwwwhhhhzzzzzzzzzzzzz he didn't notice the whining buzz overhead, nor the blur of fast beating wings. Something settled on the nape of his neck, little metal legs clung like a claw, a metal head shifted from side to side with strange whinny sounds. Then the head bent down and pricked the skin of Seto's neck, a few small drops of crimson blood slid down his neck on to the pillow.
The metal claw like feet released their hold and the wings whined to life again then there was silence once more, like a black cloak around Seto as he slept, blissfully unaware of what just happened.
"Sirs, the XV2 is back." Whispered a voice to a group of men who sat with crystal brandy glasses and laughed about their evil ideas, exchanged bets on who was better and on the latest plan of their "leader"
"Oh is it?" Spoke up one, smirking "Wonderful, we can begin tomorrow morning, be sure to get that digital slave we gave the master to tell him. He will be pleased!" All cheer and raise their glasses together with a resounding, harmonious 'Cling'.
Night passed in to day, another day in paradise, he snorted it was easy to forget that this was a 'lucky' break for him to be given an entire space to make his, he sneered, the man that gave him it then abandoned him. But that was okay. From what he could tell that treacherous snake got his! He sneered, some man he had been, promised him it all then abandoned him for that… that THING he shredded a pillow until feathers spewed like snow. He snarled, how dare he do that! Forget about him! Some might call him insane, the way he clung to hate. Well. If wanting revenge on pathetic mortals mean you were insane, then yes he was.
He snorted, how sad did he sound? All he did was laugh to himself and have conversations in his mind, then again a life in 'cyberspace' would do that he guessed. Silently he moves down to the kitchen and waits for his Digital Slaves report. Finally the little boy scampered over and instantly got on his knees, as he was ordered.
"S-Sir"
"Yes Mokuba?" He looked at the boy, a flawless copy of the "real-life" one, same wild black mane, same eyes, same voice it was a perfect rendering.
"They… They told me to tell you, the XV2 returned last night"
"It did?"
"Yes"
A smirk curled on his lips again, amber eyes now a bright ember-y colour "Perfect. Tell them they better have results soon. I want my plans performed soon!"
"A-At once" The boy ran off
The man laughed again, wild, 'Insane' it echoed through the lonely house like a demonic cackle he sneered and walked out in to the jungle "Soon Seto Kaiba. Soon." He then wandered on…
Seto awoke late "OH SHIT!" he cursed. Scrambling out of bed he hurried to get dressed and downstairs, he grabbed some toast "See ya later lil brother"
"Bye bye Ni-Sama" Mokuba called as he sipped his juice
Seto jumped in to his car and drove off high speed to the office, he hated being late, it was the worst thing next to a 5-hour conference. He hurried up to his office and grabbed some coffee before settling before his laptop once more, watching the bright blue Seto Kaiba logo pop up he stretched, that had been a rush out of the house, he didn't even take time to yawn.
His fingers moved over the sleek shiny keys of the keyboard, typing up more work, slowly hunching in to a state of busy concentration.
It got to about 12pm and Seto was just saving up to go get some lunch he closed down the file and shut down the computer, but as it said 'You are now logging out' he could hear a twisted, maniacal laugh in the background, distant like it was in another world entirely but clear enough to tingle his ear. He shuddered, it was scary, the laughter was arrogant, young, sounding like it came from a high-pitch child that had not had his voice broken. He shrugged it, maybe it was an internet fuck up?
"Mwahahahahahaa. Fool Seto!" the man laughed softer now, it would all slot in to place… soon He walked back in to the house and went to a study, sitting in a leather chair and waving his hand in front of a wall, watching the white wall slide back to reveal a screen. The man put his hand in to the wall and the screen came on, as he thought the screen typed his thoughts, as he desired knowledge the screen provided it, he controlled the fastest information highway on the globe. It had taken him a while but he had finally managed to immerse himself in the Internet, he now had access to whatever he wanted, he could find whatever he wanted, it was all his. He laughed again and ran over his plans once more, perfect, not even that fool Seto Kaiba would come out of this one!
He stretched and then laid back, thinking, musing and laughing, it was too easy it was perfect he would get revenge! On him and the world, those foolish mortals, none of them deserved to live! None of them!
I am the ultimate Life a flawless existence
Nothing is unpredictable to me
Nothing can surprise me
I am the mysteries of the world
I can tell it by cold eyes
I am the warrior
It's my way to go
He rose after a few hours, his servants promised that by the next afternoon he would be ready and it was a time worth waiting for. He smirked darkly, going to amuse himself with the leopard once more….
Give me your huge potential
With your fluid motion
Just
Tell me the truth
Are you really the Ultimate Life?
Just
Finally night came once more, the man slid in to his silken sheets, bird blood now gone like it had never existed, his dreams that night were not of the day a car claimed his mortal body, that weak cage of skin and bone. It gave up on him just like everything else but he didn't blame his body, he blamed that man. How dare he favour Seto Kaiba! Over him! How dare he!? He calmed back down, his dreams were soothing, he was dreaming of his revenge.
Nothing is unpredictable to me
Oh nothing can surprise me
I am the mysteries of the world
I can tell it by their cold eyes
Seto slept deeply in his dreams. It felt nice, his rest, almost surreal, his head was light and seemed to float on each idea that brushed past in his dreams. It was comforting, to live a quiet life. But. His dreams took a stranger, more macabre turn as the laughter returned that arrogant snickering, deep in his mind. Like it were embedded there. In his dreams nothing was safe. No where was safe. It was hard to see, hard to make out the threat. He choked as he tossed, finally shaking awake with a start, eyes wide. He hated dreams most of all…
Just move
It's the time
Just move
It's the time for you
Just move
It's the time for you
Just move
It's the time for you
