Love is Impossible

Chapter 6

Author's Note: I have just come to the realization that when the Noa Arc comes to American/Canadian TV in dub, that when you see his first character appearance, you are going to think my Noa is horribly out of character. Which I must say, I am reffering to after the Noa arc, when Mokuba has helped him realize what it is to have a heart. ::tear:: Soooo kawaii. ;.;

So, that is just so you know. So you don't think that insane Noa is who we're talking about here. o.o;

::Make mental note: Poor, poor Sunny...::---Inside joke, you'll see eventually. ^_~

At the knock, Julia turned around immediately and stared to Mokuba.

"One second, Niisama..!!" He yelled, rushing off the bed and taking the poor other boy with him. "Julia..?" he whispered sharply, a slight panic in his voice. "What do we do with him..?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Ah! Excuse my rudeness, Young Master Noa!" She exclaimed in a hushed voice, as she grabbed his wrist and dragged him over to another door in the room. "Bathroom. Stay here until Mokuba comes to get you. Don't make a sound." She said, pushing him in and shutting the door.

Noa sighed, rolling his eyes. "Uh-huh..." he confirmed, sliding down the door by his back and sitting down silently on the beautifully tiled blue floor as Julia walked away. He attempted to listen in on the conversation, but sadly, it was no use.

Mokuba quickly pulled himself back under his heavy comforter as Julia took a seat next to him hurriedly.

"Come in, Seto.." Mokuba said, as the door opened, he yawned. Perfect touch. All should be well.

"Good morning Mokuba. Julia." He said, nodding to the both of them. He refused to deal with his inner sense of someone keeping a secret at the moment. "I'm going to work..." he trailed off, not failing to hit Mokuba with the raised eyebrow, 'I know you're hiding something, but I'll deal with it tonight' glance. Mokuba just stared at him innocently. "So I will see you two tonight." and with that said, he closed the door behind him and made his way down the marble staircase.

Julia turned to Mokuba, fear in her eyes. "He knows."

"Oh yeah." Mokuba sighed, getting up out of the overly-luxurious bed, and heading over to the bathroom door. Noa turned around when he heard it creak open.

"Safe, are we..?" he asked, smiling happily. Mokuba grinned sheepishly and looked to the floor.

"Yeah...for a bit." He said, pulling Noa back over to the bed and taking a seat. "He can tell we are up to something, though. I can see it. But he's waiting until tonight."

"Which might have happened anyways, you know. Noa-sama will eventually need to eat something, won't you?" she asked, smiling over to him lightly.

"Oh, yeah. Probably." He said, lying himself back down onto the bed, and staring at the ceiling. "Mokuba..?" he asked.

Mokuba lay down next to him, snuggling into his side. "Yes..?" he replied sweetly.

"How did I get here? What...did you do..?"

Mokuba thought for a second. "I...I guess I did what Julia told me." At the mention of her name, both boys remembered that she was still in the room.

"What..was that, exactly..?" The marine-haired boy asked, pulling Mokuba into a light hug, and closing his eyes. Mokuba smiled, and blushed.

"Well, she told me to try wishing on a star..." Hearing that, Noa smiled.

"She always told me to try it, too.."

Julia smiled. "I always did...I mean...I always hoped for you, too, Noa-sama. When you died...I wanted you to be happy. I wished for you to be safe.."

Noa chuckled. "Mmm." He mumbled lightly. "Thank you...Julia-san."

Mokuba shut his eyes, wrapping his arms around the other boy loosly. "I'm tired.." he said with a yawn.

"Ooh..no you don't." Julia scolded. "You have to escort our new house guest through a tour of the manor. And I'll come with you." She said, standing up.

"Oh alright then.." Mokuba sighed defeatedly, grabbing Noa's hands and pulling him up with him. "Come on."

~~~5:00PM~~~Living Room~~~

Mokuba and Noa sat cross-legged in the living room and the coffee table, playing Duel Monsters as Julia walked in.

"Julia!" Mokuba piped up gleefully, staring up at her with his wide, violet eyes. Julia smiled warmly.

"Yes, Mokuba?" She asked.

"Can we have some hot cocoa, please..?" He asked as Noa nodded in agreement.

"Sure you can." She said, turning around. "I'll go fix some, okay?"

"Thank you, Julia-san." Noa said, then turned his focus back onto his hand. "I play...mmm...one monster in defense mode..and place one card in the magic/trap zone.." He grinned. "Your turn."

Mokuba sighed, as he drew a card. "Aww.." he exclaimed, throwing his head back in exasperation. "Okay...I place 3 cards in magic/trap...and one card in defense. Go."

Noa smiled, drawing a card from the top of his deck. "Aha!I activate my Spring of Rebirth, and I flip summon Otohime...and switch your monster to attack mode, then play Susa Soldier and attack." he nodded enthusiastically. Mokuba picked up his defeated Neo The Magic Swordsman and placed him in his graveyard, taking 300 LP damage. "And..." Noa trailed off slowly. "I end my turn.." he said, picking up both his Spirit monsters and placing them back in his hand, gaining him 1000 LP.

Footsteps were heard, as Julia came into the room holding a tray with two cups. "Cocoa is ready." she said, placing the tray onto the coffee table and retreating just as they heard the door open.

"Seto's home.." Mokuba whispered. "Act...casual." He nodded, placing down his cards as Noa did the same. Mokuba picked up his cup, taking a sip carefully, for it was sure to be hot as Julia ran over to her eldest master.

"Master Kaiba! We're glad you're home." She exclaimed enthusiastically, taking his coat as he made his way around the corner and into the living room, pinching the bridge of his nose, eyes closed.

"Konban wa, Niisama!" Mokuba said cheerfully, but his voice still held an air of nervousness. "How was your day?"

Seto replied with a low, "Hn."

Mokuba got up, and scurried over to the other side of the table with Noa, who had a look of utter confusion and terror on his face. Mokuba could tell. "Don't worry." he whispered. "He's not going to kilol us...yet." Noa sighed, letting his eyes slip closed.

"Uh...niisama...I believe you've had the pleasure of...meeting my friend...uhm...Noa..?" He asked nervously. Seto and Noa didn't exactly have a nice...history with eachother. This wasn't going to go too well.

Seto's eyes shot open as he threw himself onto the couch. Seeing the other boy, he sighed, taking a deep breath, remaining calm. ~I'm not going insane...~ he coached himself. ~That doesn't happen to people like me...~
