******************************************************

One Hope Present Flesh that parts quiet along the knife blade Lyrics that resonate ring alive, fade. Spirals of chlorophyll cover, defy. While I am living, this hope cannot die.

Edges of pain that has shrieked in my mind Trembling despair nearly batters me blind. Things left behind are more precious than breath. While I can speak, I will not yield to death.

Watching the light for a chance of reprieve It will all funnel to what I believe. Time will bring healing, with scars it must give. While I am dreaming, my dream will still live.

Beyond Help

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Everything was swirling in a mystic dance of colors, they cast mysterious shadows along the wall. Mokuba watched as they floated up to him and wrapped him into their security. He felt content for one heart-felt moment, but then they ran. They moved away faster then he could catch them. Within that instant everything disappeared.

"Kaiba brothers, it's dinner time." The voice of his house maid, Ginny, rang in his ears. Mokuba was shaken awake. He took a good look around his room. It was dark, and seemed sort of despairingly quiet. The growling of his stomach seemed to yell at him to go get something to eat.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going. Don't rush me." Mokuba said absent mindedly as he started down stairs. The Mansion was poorly decorated, almost plain. It was okay, but not something that you want to wake up to everyday. When Mokuba got into the dinning room he bowed his head. It was empty, void himself. The room was desolate and would be completely quiet if not for the sound of Raymond, our cook, cooking in the kitchen.

"Why am I not surprised?" Mokuba whispered to no one in particular as he sat down. He waited patiently, but after about twenty minutes, it was wearing out. Walking into the kitchen, he was shocked to see it empty. "Ray?" He said, glancing around the kitchen. He spotted the phone; there was a piece of paper next to it.

He approached it with three small steps and read.

St. Marie Private School:

We have decided that Mokuba will be assigned a temporary suspension. He is required, upon return, to make up all work necessary. Also, he is required to attend two classes with Mr. Barber, the Administrator, to repent for his actions. We are truly sorry for what has happened and understand your situation.

-Sister Mary Regina, Principal

Mokuba's eyes widened. He read it over just to be sure he didn't misunderstand. He was right; he wasn't going to be expelled! He had to tell Seto, it was still not good, but it was better then before and he didn't want Seto to not only ignore him, but hate him too.

Rushing out of the mansion, Mokuba realized that it was raining.

"Oh shit, I am going to freeze before I make it to Kaiba Corp." Mokuba shoved caution to the wind and made his number one priority telling Seto. It seemed like the longer he was out there, the harder it rained. By the time he walked into Kaiba Corp. he was soaked. Mokuba didn't care though, at least not at the moment. He pressed the button for the elevator and waited. 'I hope Seto isn't still mad at me, it wouldn't help me if he was. I had better think of what I am going to say, I can't just run in there and scream happily "Seto! I'm suspended!" No, that would not be good'

The elevator door opened and Mokuba watched as many business people walked out. 'Rush hour' he sighed. Finally, the stream ended, and Mokuba got in. He was the only one in there, which was understandable, because most people were LEAVING work, rather then coming in. He pressed the top button, where Seto's office was located, and started humming to pass the time.

Mokuba loved riding the elevator, especially Kaiba Corp. ones. They went really fast.

Suddenly a terrible quake went through the elevator. The lights flashed and then went off completely. Mokuba yelled as the elevator started to plummet. He could feel all the blood rush to his head and then it stopped. The whole elevator came to a sudden halt. Mokuba was thrown to the floor. He slammed his head into the marble floors and cried out.

Tears came to his eyes as he sat up; he felt blood dripping from his hair. Putting a hand up, he touched the right side of the top of his head and winced. It was so dark he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. There were no windows in elevators, and that only made things worse.

"At least I am not claustrophobic." Mokuba mumbled, trying to make light of his current mood. The metal moaned and the elevator dropped down another two floors and came to a stop. Mokuba was again thrown up and then down.

He laid there, unmoving. He was too afraid to move. 'If I take the energy to stand up, I will just fall back down once the elevator falls. God forbid I live through this.' Silence was hard to find, even in the elevator, the sound of metal on metal rang out along with the thunder.

The darkness was starting to get to Mokuba. He would constantly close and open his eyes, trying to find a change in appearance. Fear was gnawing at the corners of his mind, but he wouldn't let it drive him, it would only make matters worse.

Seto Kaiba walked through the hell of his company; the back-up generators were off-line. He had personnel down there right now working on that. People were running everywhere trying to fix the unfixable. Thousands of dollars of work were most likely lost in that instant, and without power, shall remain lost. Someone bumped into him, but before he could yell at them they started talking.

"Sir, one of the elevator's cords snapped, the rest of the cords aren't strong enough to hold it, it's going to fall." 'How did he even know that was me?'

"Is there anyone in it?" If there is no one in there, then Seto couldn't care less. Accept that, that would cost money to repair.

"Yes, Sir, the main hall security and secretary saw your brother enter that elevator, it was on the way to the floor your office is on, it never made it.

Poor Mokuba -_-
