Another week passed. Mokuba was out playing at the park with a friend from school, because it was a beautiful, sunny day. Seto was, as usual, at work in his office, determined not to be distracted by anything. And finally, Boxey was strolling casually through the woods near her house, bored out of her skull.
The last two were thinking.
I'm slowly going insane here. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm bored. Very bored. I've picked up some bad habits from Mokuba. Seto thought crossly.
Hmmm... Nobodies around... I'm feeling social deprived. Maybe I'll go to the park! Boxey thought, then changing direction to go to the park.
As she walked towards the busy park, she hummed "The Cellblock Tango" from Chicago.
~*At The Park*~
Mokuba tossed the ball to his friend, Sara. She blinked as it went over her head and turned around as it bounced behind her. She giggled and chased after it, catching up and grabbing it, throwing it back at Mokuba. He jumped up for it, but missed. As he landed, crouched and laughing, the ball rolled over the grass. He straightened up and ran after it.
Boxey walked through the park gates, stepping over the ball as it rolled by her, heading over to the swings and sitting down on one.
Mokuba continued chasing the ball. It hit a bump and soared into the air. He jumped up and caught it, landing near the edge of the road and tumbling onto it. He quickly stood up and brushed himself off.
A horn blared.
Sara looked up.
Boxey jumped off the swing.
Mokuba whirled around.
The driver hit the brakes. The car slid- and hit the small boy. Sara screamed, and Boxey started running towards Mokuba, pulling out her cell phone. The petrified driver's tires screeched as he roared away- no way he was staying around! That was the Kaiba kid!
Boxey, kneeling beside the unconscious boy, called 911 and requested an ambulance right away, telling them their location and a brief description of what happened. Sara collapsed beside her. "Is he-"
"He'll be okay, hun. I've called an ambulance, so I need you to stay here with him until they get here, okay?"
Sara nodded. "But where are you-" Boxey was already up and running.
~*At Kaiba Corp*~
Seto was still typing away on his computer, now too busy to even consider being bored. His secretary buzzed him.
"Mr. Kaiba, sir, there's a young lady here. She wishes to talk to you."
"Tell her I'm busy."
"Sir, it's about your brother."
"... Send her in."
The secretary turned to the out-of-breath Boxey. "Mr. Kaiba will see you now." Giving her a quick nod, the redheaded teen walked swiftly into Seto's office. He turned to face her.
"What the hell- you?"
"Shut up, Kaiba. I have news."
He nodded.
"Your brother was hit by a car at the park." He got up so quickly his chair flew backwards and hit the wall.
"WHAT?"
"Shut up! I got him an ambulance." He was frozen as she started towards the door. "Come ON, dork! We might be able to catch the ambulance!" He nodded and followed her out of the room.
"I'll get one of..."
"Don't bother. It's in running distance."
"RUNNING DISTANCE?!"
~*At The Park*~
Seto and Boxey arrived, both out of breath, just as the paramedics were loading Mokuba into the ambulance.
"Told you we'd get here in time." Boxey said, going over to Sara. Seto rushed over to his brother's side.
"Will he be okay?"
"He'll be fine, sir. The driver slowed down enough that no serious damage was caused." Seto nodded. "Will you be riding with him?" Seto nodded again. "Okay sir."
Boxey kneeled down in front of Sara. "Hey, what's your name?"
"Sara. Without an H."
"Okay, Sara. You're a friend of Mokuba's, right?" The girl nodded. "Okay. We're going to go to the hospital."
"Do you have a car?"
"Nope, but I have my feet. Get on my back."
~*At The Hospital*~
Seto had his head in his hands as he sat next to Mokuba's bed. Mokuba was still unconscious.
'What if... The ambulance hadn't been called?' He was thinking, slightly confused. 'I can't believe... If she hadn't...' He quickly pushed the thoughts out of his head as Boxey stepped into the room, letting Sara slide off her back.
Sara ran over to Seto. "Mr. Kaiba! Is he okay?"
He kept his head down. "Yes."
"Hey... Sara, you should go call your parents... so they know where you are. I saw some payphones back there⦠Here's a quarter."
"Thank you, miss..."
"Boxey. Call me Boxey." She said, handing her some money. The little girl scampered out of the room.
"Uh... Boxey... I guess I should... Thank you... For calling the ambulance and getting me..."
"It was nothing, Seto..." She looked at him. "You've been crying." He was silent. "... Whatever." She walked out of the room, looking confused.
'Damn her.'
