Wake up
That night Seto Kaiba slept soundly, plagued though still by the guilt seeded in his heart like a weed. It was blooming even in his dreams, here in the place where he was free...
He was young again sitting beneath the tree in his old backyard, watching his little brother throwing the ball to the blurry image that was his real father. But slowly the image of his brother began to change, till it was the identical image of himself. Who turned red ball in hand. And smiled brunette hair falling into lovely Prussian blue eyes.
There was a whoosh of air and Seto was sixteen standing in a massive throne room of gold. The throne room of the Pharaoh, a tall man was bowing himself out and when he saw him pulled him behind a pillar.
Seto's eyes widened at the man, who looked exactly like him. Except he was Egyptian the ankh hanging around his neck. Long cape covering his shirtless chest, royal blue crown covering the shock of brunette hair that Seto knew was there.
But there was something strange in those sapphire eyes, yes something very heartrending.
Finally the hand fled away from his mouth
"What are you doing here?!" the man demanded, his eyes a little wide with panic.
Seto opened his mouth and no words came out, the specter grinned and placed a figure on his cheek.
"I supposed I cannot yell at you for finally coming here."
"W-who are you?"
The Hikari smiled
"I am the High Priest, the worshipper of the Blue Eyes White Dragon"
Seto staggered back against the pillar, the conversation with Suu running back into his mind.
"Oh Kami! She wasn't lying..."
"Lying about what?" he asked harmlessly
Seto's eyes opened taking the hand away from his throbbing temples
"About you"
He nodded "She is very knowledgeable is she not? That is because she speaks to the holder of the Eye."
"How do you know that?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Arrgh! Stop answering my questions with questions!" Kaiba cried pointing to the Priest with frustration.
"You know what you are Seto, Cute." His Hikari said with a wicked grin.
Seto then lost all his steam; his mouth fell open in shock. He then folded his arms and leaned against the pillar, staring daggers at the man that causally stood there. Dressed in Egyptian clothes.
"I am /not/ cute" Seto mumbled, as his cheeks were pinched.
"Let me go!" Seto roared battling his Hikari's fingers away, The High Priest was laughing.
"Now more cute, I didn't think men of your time took such good care of their skin." Again Seto had no answer for that, instead he shook his head.
"You're a weird man"
"Thank you, little Seto" his hair was being ruffled happily.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ME!" he exclaimed grasping the man wrists with brutal force. The High Priest flinched momentarily and opened his lovely blue eyes again.
"If a baby chick is never held when is it young, how is it then that it is to grow? It will not grow like the others, it will always somehow be lacking. Much like you my little Seto."
The voice that was sweet and seductive deepened with sadness, Seto felt his grip slackening around the wrists covered by golden bracelets. Seto then let him go,
"Come here" and then the High Priest did something that Seto never expected. Suddenly he was hugging the warm flesh of his twin. Skin smelling like jasmine and sandalwood, Kaiba knew this smell. He had always known this perfume, before he could even remember.
"Why weren't you there when I needed you" Seto asked emotion threatening to consume him.
"Because your heart is still closed, how could I wake up, when you are like the cool diamond in the Pharaoh's crown?"
Seto pulled away huddling almost weakly against the pillar "I can't stop being cold" he whispered.
Bangs were smoothed away from his face "You should not worry everything is going to be fine. Now wake up."
Seto Kaiba jerked up from his fetal position on the bed, he was still a girl. He knew this because he was crying and because he still has an annoying chest that got in his way. Letting a silent curse into the room, he stared at the ceiling for a long time. He didn't feel any different... And then finally unable to keep his eyes open any longer he fell asleep.
Morning dawned bright and early but Sato Kaiba was already up, having worked out a few things with Noah concerning Kaiba Corp. As usual, Mokuba had already let Suu Kushimara into the house.
And as usual she wore that same horrible black... Walking into the living room, something was cradled into her hand, Mokuba was huddled near her. Watching the thing that sat in her lap, he walked over and stared. A red chested bird, too small to be an adult sat in her lap as she fashioned a splinter for its wing.
"W-what are you?" Seto crouched down in front of her and stopped talking. Because it was so pretty. He reached out and pet it lightly. Suu smiled
"You have never seen a robin before?" she asked, Seto looked up and shook his head.
"No I haven't, they usually don't come near the cities."
Suu nodded and finished tying the splint. "He was almost run over, but I saved him"
Seto was a little surprised "You almost got hit for this little bird?"
She nodded "You have to remember that everything even to the smallest bug is a life Seto. I want to be one of those people who cherish it. And besides the bird is a boy, the boys are always more beautiful then the girls."
He had to do it now, though he /never/ apologized for /anything/ he had too now "I-I'm sorry" he whispered.
Suu touched his cheek and her smile returned, "I know, I accept it." Mokuba was smiling, leaning into her lap almost to gaze wide-eyed at the bird that looked at the three of them with interest.
Seto stood and Suu handed Mokuba the bird "Take him to the aviary, with this" she handed Mokuba a piece of paper. And with a smile she began
"I'm am so very tired of taking you out, and showing you off. But now I think it comes a time in every mans life.... That he learns how to cook!"
Seto fell over in shock, Suu just smiled as he picked himself up, Suu took his hand and led him toward the kitchen.
"OH NO! I WILL NOT GO NEAR ANYTHING SHARP! I CANNOT EVEN BOIL WATER! LET-ME- GOOOOOO!" he wrenched his hand from her grasp and stood in the middle of the hall arms folded, feet firmly planted. Suu suddenly clasped her hands together "Ah, but Mr. Pegasus is such a good cook!"
Seto blinked a few times as she continued rage was building in him,
Is that what she went for? Men who could cook?!
"ALRIGHT! SO SHUT UP ABOUT THAT JERK!" Seto screamed and stomped the rest of the way into the kitchen. Suu smiled secretly, like everything else about Seto's personality she read it like a book. She was sorry she had to use him, but he needed to grow. No more of the spoiled little rich boy...
He seemed to be in denial... Maybe he liked her...
She would take care of that later...
