For Tomorrow
Chapter Four
I staggered down the hall. I needed to get to his room. I needed to tell him. I needed to get out of here. The nurses had left me alone so I could get some sleep after the surgery. It had hurt so much, and… Finally I could see his room up ahead. Just a few more steps I told myself as I struggled towards the door. It wasn't that it hurt to walk, I was just so exhausted… I collapsed as I reached the door, struggling for the handle and managing to turn it as I collapsed into the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ni Sama" I gasped. I couldn't do anything. Even though Seto's room was just a few doors down, the walk had drained me so much that I couldn't do anything but sot there, panting..
"Mokuba" I heard him call my name, then felt two warm arms pick me up and put me down on a bed. "What happened to you?" his voice asked, as if from far away.
I couldn't really think. All I wanted to do right now was sleep, but I knew there was something important I had to tell him. Then I remembered, "Ni sama…" I began.
He shushed me, saying that I could tell him later. But I couldn't tell him later. I needed to get out now.
"No." I said, pleadingly, "I want to tell you now. That's why I came here."
Seto sighed, he knew I wouldn't stop until I had had my say, "Go ahead and tell me, but take it easy, okay?"
"Well… They opened the cuts in my hands again, and…" I began. I really didn't feel up to telling him, but if I wanted to get out of here, what choice did I have.
"What cuts?" he asked. Oh my Ra… I thought. I didn't think I could get through the whole story. Somehow I managed to tell the whole thing, from when I got in the limo to when the helicopter came to pick me up.
His eyes went all blank and cold, just like they were the time I saw him right before he tried to… I pushed the thought out of my mind, then asked Seto if he was alright.
His eyes came back to their normal hue as smiled warmly, "Course I am," I answered, "You're here, aren't you?"
I nodded my head, then remembered why I had come, "Ni sama, I want to leave."
"So do I," I said, "tomorrow we'll…"
Tommorrow? I couldn't wait till tommorrow. They'd hurt me some more, and It'd be so horrible… tears came to my eyes and I began to yell at him, "No, today. Ni sama, they opened my hands again and took out the shards of glass they couldn't get earlier…"
"Well, that's good." said then smiled, "now that that's done, your hand will heal."
Good? What was good about it? They had… They had… "No, It's not good!" I yelled, "They did it while I was awake because I was allergic to the stuff they give you to make you fall asleep… It hurt so much, Ni sama, and I felt every piece being taken out, then I got all weird, and then everything went black… Ni sama, I was so scared before it went black, I thought I was going to die and never see you again and…" I don't know when, but sometime during that I had started to cry. Tears rolled down my face as Ni Sama yelled. I didn't want a lawsuit, I just wanted to go home again.
"Ni sama, can we just go home now?" I whispered. I didn't want him to get mad at me, but I really needed to go home.
"Of course," He said as he picked me up. I noticed that he cringed as he picked me up, but I didn't have the energy to say anything. "Now Mokuba," he said sternly, "We're going to have to be very quiet so they won't spot us…"
"And if they do see us?" I asked brightly. I knew what he was going to say, but I just had to hear him say it
"We run like hell and hope no one can catch us." He said as he wheeled my bed to the door, " Come on, let's go."
It was just then that we heard the voice of the hospital's manager over the telecom, ~Mokuba Kaiba is out of his room. He is a short raven-haired child who has just had surgery. If he is seen he is to be brought back to room 187. That is all~
I looked at Seto and he nodded.
"BONZAI!" We yelled at the same time as Ni Sama kicked open the door and ran out, pushing me on the hospital bed.
As Seto was pushing me, I noticed that we weren't going to get there in time, so I grabbed a needle from a medical cart and yelled "Anyone who tries to stop us gets a shot!" That mad them stop for a moment until they realized that I was waving a needle and saying gets A shot, not gets shot. Then they continued their pursiut, but I had bought us just enough time to get on board the helicopter.
I heard Seto say something to the pilot, and the pilot say something back, but I couldn't tell what. After all that excitement, the need for sleep was finally catching up to me. I was almost asleep, when Seto picked me up. Just before I drifted off, I thought to myself, What better place to fall asleep than in Seto's arms.

This was one of those chapters where it didn't give you much perspective differences between Seto and Mokuba, but in the next couple chapters, it will be crucial and very different thinking.
Thanks for your time ^-^ R&R
