Chapter 5
Of Fish, Fireflies and Follies
A crisp feeling was in the air as Seto walked out of school that afternoon. He raised his arm and pulled back the black sleeve of his jacket, revealing a black wristwatch. Two thirty, it would be about and hour or so before he had to pick up Mokuba. He dropped his arm and let out a breath. The sound of splashing of water could be heard behind him. Seto looked back at the marble fountain behind him. The crystal clear water spouted from the top of the fountain and crashed down to the bowl beneath it. Mokuba came into his mind, as he felt a familiar tug at his jacket. Seto immediately looked back and smiled, but only the leaves whipping in the wind and his memories were there to greet him. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"That's right, we're to go to the river today," Seto grinned at the thought. He glided over to his motorcycle, kicked up the kickstand and drove off. He thought about preparing something for them to eat while they were there, and knowing Mokuba, that would be quite some time. The wind whipped back at the CEO as he drove back to his home. It was an unusually cold day for the end of summer. The trees rustled as he sped down the highway. He slowed as he reached the Kaiba estate. It was a big enough place, to say the least, but he and Mokuba were really the only ones who occupied it. He stopped at the front of the house and parked his bike. The doors swooped open as Seto walked in. He dropped his things on a nearby coffee table and walked onto the kitchen. He opened the fridge and searched for some decent food for their picnic.
"Hm, that looks good, or maybe that......I can't decide." He sighed. Why was choosing what they were going to eat such a big deal? He snapped the refrigerator door closed and rested his head on the smooth metal.
"Well, I guess I could always pick up some of those boxed lunches," he thought aloud. He figured that they would suffice. With the short time he had, he knew that he wouldn't be able to make anything extravagant anyway. He knew Mokuba wouldn't mind either way, Seto chuckled.
"I wonder sometimes, if he even knows what he's eating." Seto smiled. Images of Mokuba inhaling his food revealed themselves in his eyes.
"It's amazing............he never chokes."
_____________________________________
Mokuba burst out of the elementary school, he was talking attentively with his friends. He looked up to see his brother waiting for him. He smiled and waved his hand wildly at his older brother. He turned and said goodbye to a few of his friends, then he bounded towards Seto, smiling all the while.
"Hiya Seto!"
"Did you have a good first day?"
"Oh yeah! It was fun! I got to meet some new students and I played with my friends.........." Mokuba eagerly told Seto every single detail of his wonderful day!
"Yes and that's what my day was like! How about you big bro?" Mokuba beamed at Seto. Twenty minutes had past since the young boy began his explanation. Seto only looked at him and smiled.
"Not too bad, I'd have to say."
With that Mokuba climbed on the back of Seto's bike and they sped off. They were driving along when Mokuba noticed the unfamiliar landscape they were passing. He opened his mouth to ask his brother where they were going, but he realized that Seto wouldn't be able to hear him over the roar of the wind. They stopped at a crossing, Mokuba looked around, totally oblivious to what was going on, he could only sit and go where ever his brother was taking them. Seto turned down a dirt road; he didn't really know where they were going himself. It was as if he had been in this area before. He felt a sort of instinct pulling him in this direction. Though inside he knew exactly where they were going to end up. The dirt road widened and curved to a sort of parking lot. It was extremely dense and grown over, but Seto slowed at the end of the road where he stopped. He climbed off the motorcycle and left Mokuba sitting confused.
"Seto? Where are we?" The little boy questioned. Seto turned back at his brother and smiled.
"You know, Mokuba,...........I really have no idea." He crinkled his nose at his very perplexed brother.
"Seto.....ah.....wha-" Mokuba looked up at his brother, this was very unlike him, even more than other times. He gazed at his brother. Seto was opening a compartment in the back of his bike. He reached out and pulled two sets of small poles and set them on the soft earth behind him. Then he pulled out two boxes wrapped in decorative paper. He trotted over to the black haired boy and handed him the two boxes. Then he went back to his bike, pulled out a leather bag filled with odds and ends; he shut the compartment in his bike, and then grabbed the two sets of polls. He started walking down a path that was, grown over, to say the very least. He stopped and turned back at his little brother, who was gaping at him, his steely blue eyes fixed on Seto's cerulean ones.
"Mokuba," Seto grinned, "aren't you coming, fishing was your idea wasn't it?"
Seto cocked an eyebrow at his little brother. A giant smile wiped onto Mokuba's face. His eyes filled with happiness as he ran to join his brother. Grasping Seto's empty hand, they walked down the path to find what excitement lay ahead.

"Oh Daddy! I've got one!" A young boy yelped as the end of his fishing rod was jerking madly. His blue eyes filled with excitement. He was at a small clearing by a crystal clear river. Many kinds of trees filled the area of the forest. The beautiful aroma of nature filled this place. It was now the early evening and hundreds of fireflies filled the air. A boy, a man, and women were sitting by the river watching the fireflies mesmerizing glow.
"Mamma," the young boy spoke, his sapphire eyes were glowing with excitement, "Can we.......can we come back here with my little brother?" He said with excitement. A giggle came from the woman he was speaking to. She was very beautiful, her hair was black as the night sky and her milky white skin would glow as she laughed. The young boy sat next to his mother and looked at her expectantly. The woman's crystal blue eyes were filled with love for the child. She hugged the little boy closely. Then they stared up at the night sky; stars spread across it, going on forever it seemed.
"Oh course we can, Seto, of course."
That night was one of the happiest in the young boy's life.

"Seto, Seto! I've got a fish!" Mokuba yelped. His rod shaking madly to and fro. Seto blinked back to reality, he saw his brother howl with laughter as he reeled in what seemed to be his hundredth fish. He pulled it out of the water. The slimy fish wiggled to and fro as the boy tried to unhook it. He finally managed to free the fish, but it wriggled out of Mokuba's hands. The young boy tried frantically to catch it, but he tripped over a stick and plummeted out of sight. Seto quickly raced to his brother's aid. He made it time to see his brother crash into the water, he watched as the menacing fish dropped on the poor boy's head. It splashed into the water and quickly swam off. Seto stared at his brother.
"Mokuba......" Seto started, then his lips curled to a smile, seeing his brother was in no harm, he began to chuckle at the sight of the disturbed boy, his hair matted onto his face. Tears began to form in his eyes due to the fact that he couldn't stop laughing.
"Seto! It's not funny!" Mokuba chirped, he couldn't help but giggle himself, he must've looked funny for Seto to laugh that hard. He then had an idea.
"Seto!" He said with complete innocence. At this Seto looked up to see those puppy dog eyes gaze back at him.
"You could at least help me up!" Mokuba said equally innocent. Seto looked at his brother and sighed. He threw his jacket aside and rolled up his pants. He took of his shoes and socks and walked into the water towards his little brother. Mokuba just sat there pretending to pout. Seto reached his hand out to Mokuba, who took it willingly. A smirk then flashed on the little boy's face as he jerked the unknowing Seto into the water. Seto tumbled in headfirst and emerged from the murky water completely soaked. He quickly glared at Mokuba, which instantly turned to a loving smile. Those puppy dog eyes really got to him.
As they dusk fell and the fireflies came out, Seto gazed at the glowing lights, his heart was glowing along with them. Seto felt that he had done something he had always wanted to do that evening. Mokuba came over to him, he had Seto's jacket on since it was getting cold and they were both soaking wet. The young boy looked up to see the glow in his brother's eyes. They looked like they did back at the orphanage, full of life and light. Mokuba was then reminded how lucky he was to have Seto as a brother. As Mokuba thought about it, he realized something. Seto, well he did everything for him, he never thought of himself before him. Mokuba's eyes began to tear up. He was so happy he and Seto were together. Salty tears lined his face. He went and hugged his brother. Seto looked down at his teary-eyed brother. Concern flushed his face and he knelt beside the little figure. He stared into those glossy eyes. Seto took his thumb and rubbed the tears off of Mokuba's face.
"Mokuba......." He said fully concerned. The boy looked up and smiled at his brother.
"Seto, I love you big brother," he said and fell into his brother's arms. Seto looked down and smiled.
"I know Mokuba; I love you too..." Seto said softly as a tear trickled down his face.
Mamono:*tears*......sniff........Oh, hey, isn't this the sweetest thing?
Mokuba:..........sniff..............Oh Seto!*tears*
Seto:........sniff............Mokuba!*tears*
Mamono: Okay Dokey! Please review this wonderful chapter. If you have any ideas lemme' know cuz tragedy will soon rear it's ugly head!
