Bring a tissue... That's all...
~~~A Supposedly Wonderful Day~~~
Content that was what Sato Kushimara er Kaiba was. Standing in the middle of Kaiba Land and breathing the air electric with tension. He was having an adrenaline rush just standing here.
He loved dueling more then he loved many things, he turned to Suu who was looked around sadly. She was smiling again, her eyes sunken in and lost, he noticed how terrible she looked since this morning.
"Suu?"
"Yes" she walked up to him with a grin.
"Do you want to duel?" he asked.
"Sure"
Kaiba was sort of surprised "You have a deck?!"
"Doesn't everyone?" she replied easily. Seto nodded and shrugged,
"I would gather so," he muttered as they walked into a reserved dueling arena. Slowly he walked to the other side, kicking off his high heels and taking off the bow that tied his hair up.
Long curls went spanning around his thin shoulders, falling into his eyes. His pretty lashes long and curled. Maybe he was a beautiful teenager; he was surely thinner then when he was a boy.
And he had no self-confidence what so ever.
"Let's duel"
Excitement rushed through is veins, as he drew five cards, then with a dawning terror. He screamed, the cards fell from his hands.
"Kaiba?!" the sharp voice came from across the room,
"M-my cards" he stammered his sapphire eyes wide, he recognized none of them. They were all fairy and spell caster monsters.
His blue eyes were gone, lost... The world seemed to blur for a moment, as the tears fell down his cheeks. Someone swept him into a warm embrace, he cringed at the touch
"Seto..." warm hands touched his face, wiping the stream of tears that sprang from emotional blue eyes. Not cold as twin ice crystals...
Suu felt a twinge of remorse for the poor thing. He was so strong on the outside but on the inside he was a helpless little boy. Afraid of being lonely and yet afraid of letting anyone in, that is why he was the way he was. Until the gender switch stripped him of his mask and showed the naïve almost sweet little girl beneath.
"Look at me" she said touching her hand to her chest, Kaiba's eyes barely focused on her beautiful face.
"I-I'm alone now" he whispered tears flooding his eyes. His arms wrapping around her waist and squeezed tightly. He wept into the fine fabric of her dress,
"No, no you are not" she said softly into his ear. He paused and looked up at her waiting for her to continue
"You have your brother and you have me. You do have a person that you want to protect, don't you?"
Seto nodded "I want to protect Mokuba, I want to always see him smile."
"Yes and that is your power. Become strong Seto, and through that you can protect the ones that you love. Do not become strong for no other reason, or you will break. And I don't want you to break."
Seto shook his head "Thank you, Suu" he sniffled. For a long moment he felt a great weight float off his shoulders. He felt new, reborn.
And for once in a very long time Seto Kaiba smiled, a smile that was very similar to the smile that Mokuba had last seen. The one in the picture that he carried close to his heart for so many years.
Mokuba thought that their stepfather had killed that smile... he wiped his eyes, he would not cry. Running over he embraced his brother tightly around the neck. And then he hugged Suu because she was wonderful. She was like an angel shining her light into the abyss that his brother had been trapped in for so long.
"Will you stay with us forever Suu?" Mokuba asked, as she picked him up. Helping Seto to her feet.
There was no answer... Just a gaze that was very faraway, and a happy smile that betrayed nothing of the turmoil within.
