Chapter 11

Kit's POV

I finally found my way to the gates of Seto's mansion. The guards there opened the gates and questioned me.

"Who are you?" One guard asked.

"Kit. May I see Seto?"

"State your business." The guard to my left yelled out.

"I need to talk to him."

"Mr. Kaiba has strict orders; he doesn't want anyone bothering him at the moment." The first guard stated.

"Well, make an exception. He hired me as his new secretary. Now let me in!" I screamed, hoping my lie had worked.

"Oh, sorry ma'am. We didn't know he hired a new secretary. Just a moment." The first guard replied.

Normal POV

The one guard stepped aside and took out his radio. "Mr. Kaiba, there is your new secretary outside the gates. She goes by 'Kit'. Should I let her in?"
Seto replied, "What? I didn't ----- oh. Never mind. What does she want?"

"She says she wants to talk to you."

"Fine. Let her in." Seto sighed as he sat back in his chair.

"You are allowed in." The guard led Kit inside the mansion.

Kit's POV

Whew. They all fell for it. I feel so smart! As I stepped into the mansion, I was guided to where Seto was and he motioned the guards away.

"Yes, Kit?" Seto looked me in the eyes.

"I, uh, came to ask you something. A few things actually."

"Look, about earlier ----" Seto started to say.

"Let me do the talking first. I listened to your phone conversation with Bakura."

"You WHAT?!?!"

"I heard everything but I don't understand it. Let me start from when I got to Bakura's house after I ran away from here. Then you'll tell me your side of the story. Deal?"

"I'm sick of deals."

"Come on ---"

"Fine."

"Ok. Joey walked me home and we saw that both Bakuras weren't home so Joey came in. We started to ::ahem:: fool around in the kitchen. That's when Ryou caught us. Oh, and Ryou has a 'thing' for me."

"So you're saying you're with Joey but Ryou has a crush on you?" Seto asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. Ryou flipped out and got extremely mad at me. He told me to go sleep with Bakura."

"Why?"

"Well, when I came to stay at their house, I slept on the fold-out couch with Ryou because Bakura claimed the bed upstairs. Anyway, I went upstairs and borrowed some of Bakura's clothes since I didn't bring any extra pairs of clothing. While I was changing, Ryou apparently ran away. He hasn't been home since."

"Do you want help finding him?" Seto asked.

"You'd do that?" I asked surprised.

"No, but my operatives will be happy to."

"Oh, well, I'll call if he's not home by tomorrow, ok? So Bakura came down stairs and offered a back massage. Stupid me, I let him do it. Apparently, it was his plan to get me to sleep while he called you. I guess his plan failed because I heard the conversation."

"Oh, I see. So I'm guessing you want an explanation from me, right?" Seto asked.

I just nodded my head, eager to hear what was really going on.

::sigh:: "Well, it started two days ago. I was organizing the many files of mine in my room. Mokuba had just come home from school and interrupted my concentration. Normally, I would've gotten aggravated and take my anger out on my work."

"Do you mean ---" I interrupted.

"Let me finish."

"Oh, sorry."

"Something came over me at that moment. I don't know what, but I - I - I ---"

"Don't worry. You don't have to say it. I get the idea. So what happened after that?"

Seto stared at the ground with a glazed look in his eyes as he spoke. "I watched Mokuba's eyes fill with tears as he ran away to his room. I just stood there in disbelief and thought to myself. Did I just do that? Did I just break the promise of being a brother, to love and protect him? I didn't understand it. It was like I couldn't control what I did."

"So what was the video tape of?"

"It was of when I hit Mokuba." Seto said, looking away.

"So what exactly was the meaning of you --- and me?"

"Well, Bakura called me later that day saying he knows what happened and if I didn't want the world to know, I had to do him a favor. Hence, what I did to you."

"Oh, I understand, I guess, but ----"

"But you don't understand! I refused to fulfill Bakura's request. I didn't want to do that!"

"Then why----"

"I don't know. It was like I couldn't control myself again. I tried to stop, REALLY!"

"Ok -----" I said, trying to sort out my thoughts. I wanted to believe Seto, but I was still confused. A couple of minutes passed as Seto and me thought about what we just told each other. The faint sound of someone came from around the mansion somewhere.

::sigh:: "It's Mokuba. Can you go see what's wrong? I'm a bit immobilized from when you got away from me earlier."

"Sure."

"Just follow his voice, you'll find him."

And with that, I followed Mokuba's voice to his room. Opening the door, I saw the poor twelve year old crouched in a far corner of the room, crying into his hands.

"Mokuba?" I said quietly, as to not scare him.

He immediately looked up at me with a frightened look in his eyes. "W - who are you?"

I stayed in the middle of the doorway and answered, "I'm Kit. Don't worry, Seto sent me up here. What's the matter?"

Mokuba pointed to the window and said, "I saw someone passing outside the window. I - I thought someone was coming to hurt me."

::sigh:: I went over and picked up Mokuba and carried him back to bed. "Is this about what happened between you and Seto?"

"No --- but yes. I did see something move outside my window, but ---- but ---"

"Look, your brother didn't mean it. He's really upset about it, I can see it. So how about you go to sleep, ok?"

"Fine."

"And in the morning, if Seto apologizes, you should accept his apology. He made a mistake, one commonly made by others, but a mistake all the same." I said as I tucked him into bed.

"G'night."

As I walked around his bed, I looked out the window. They had bedrooms on the first floor. I would've thought that if one lived in a mansion, they'd sleep on a higher floor. I could barely make out the gates in the distance in the dark. Then, a thought had hit me. I ran out of Mokuba's room and back to where Seto was. "Seto, can you bring me to your room, I have to see something."

"You'd have to help me walk."

"Ok." I had Seto leaning against me to walk as he directed me to his bedroom. I brought him over for him to sit on his bed as I looked out his window.

"What's the meaning of this?" Seto asked, confused.

"Did you have the curtains open earlier?"

"Yeah. I always have them open during the day."

"Ok." Thoughts raced through my head. I tried to organize my thoughts so I could think faster. "Describe what it was like when you felt out of control."

"Uh, ok. I guess I felt like I had a conscience in my mind and it was telling me what to do."

I knew it. I thanked Seto, ran through the hallways, out of the house, and ran full speed to Bakura's house.

Bakura's POV

I waited a while after Kit left until I heard a slight tapping on the window in the kitchen. I went to investigate it, although I knew what it was. I opened the window, and sure enough, Malik climbed through in his usual black cloak. "So, I heard you got Seto to do my biddings."

"Yes, mind control is a simple task with my Millennium Rod."

"Do you have Ryou?"

"He's with Marik. So how long do you presume it'll take Kit to find him?"

"It depends. She just went out and said she was looking for him."

"And what if she doesn't find Ryou in time?"

"What do you mean, 'in time'?"

"Oh, Marik finds great joy in brainwashing his mind slaves."

"WHAT?!"
"Well, we can't exactly come out in the open and 'coincidently' run into Kit. It would be too obvious. She has to find us. It's not my fault if she takes too long to find us and Marik takes matters into his own hands."

"You will let Ryou go, right?"

"Yes." Malik answered with a laugh.

"What's your problem?"

"I find it hilarious how you got yourself into this mess. First you bring Kit, then you want her gone."

"I don't want her gone."

"Precisely why me and Marik will be taking care of her."

"So it's a deal?"

"Yes. And I know of only one way to seal this deal." Malik said as he revealed his Millennium Rod in the dagger form.

A/n: I don't know how one of my reviewers(I forgot the name and I m too lazy to look it up) practically predicted it…..but whatever. I didn't think it was THAT predictable……whatever. I'm still open to ideas also.
