Chapter 5
The Outbreak Of My Demise
I closed the door with a feeling. A feeling that didn't come comparison to pain, but still left a deep wound in your heart. I walked into the kitchen. Nonoke looked up, hope in her eyes. "Did you find him?" she asked.
The feeling struck my heart once again, "No" I sat down, my eyes fixed on the carvings on the hand made table. I remember that one night. When Mokuba sat in this exact spot.
I smiled remembering Mokuba persistence against eating raw fish. "Seto..." I looked up, my thoughts of Mokuba shattered. Why did she always have to take Mokuba away from me in every single way?
"Seto... about what you said... listen, I was only trying to be your mother because... well, I had never had the chance that you guys had." I raised one of my eyebrows. What was she trying to say? "You see, when I was little, my parents abandon me... and so, and knew what it was like to be an orphan, cause I was one."
What?! She was a orphan?! "And the reason I was just trying to bond with Mokuba, I wasn't trying to take him away from you." Sure you weren't. Nonoke got up from her seat, "So I'm sorry Seto..." she bent over and hugged me.
Someone was hugging me, and it wasn't Mokuba. Another feeling came up in my heart. It was... The phone suddenly rang. I quickly pushed her away and ran for the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Nonoke Isuri?" I growled. "No, this is Seto Kaiba."
"Oh, so you're the one the little fellar was talking about." At first, I was confused. "What are you talking about."
"Well, you see I've found Nonoke's son Mokuba." I ignored the statement on Mokuba being her son. "You found him?! How?!"
"Well, I'm the janator for Tokyo Elementary school. I was cleaning up the hallways about an hour ago and I heard this noise. I looked around no one was there. Then I found the noise was coming from the locker. This locker was different because it was jammed in. So I opened it and a boy fell out like some kind of broom. So I looked him up on our files and found him to be a new student here."
Just the fact that Mokuba wasn't taken was great to know. "How is he?" Iasked, this came the part fear struck me the most. There was a silence. "Well, I can't say he's ok, but you better..." I hung up the phone.
"Give me the keys to your car" I said, putting my hand out in front of Nonoke. "Huh?"
"I know where Mokuba is."
"Where?!"
"Back at school, now give your keys."
"Wait! I'll come with you." I wasn't going to deal with this now. "No." I grabbed the keys out of her hand and walked towards the door. "He's my responsibility now too." I opened the door, there was no time to argue. "Fine, get in the car."
I knocked on the door. That feeling came once more as a old man with a long white beard opened the door. "Oh, you must be Seto. Come in." The old man led me into his janator room.
"The boy has been saying your name for a while now, and for a while I didn't know what it meant. But I think I know now." The old man opened the door. There was a couple of brooms and mops laying against the wall, a computer currently on, and a small couch... with Mokuba asleep on it.
I tried to keep my mouth up from dropping. I slowly walked over to Mokuba and bent down on one of my knees. I could hear Nonoke gasp and begin to cry. I didn't care. Poor Mokuba. He had a black eye, cuts and bruises, and ripped clothes.
It looked as if he had been abducted by a criminal. But this was just school. A bunch of school kids. School kids who did this. "Do you want me to call an ambulance?" the man asked as I slowly grasped Mokuba in my arms and stood up.
He was so... so cold. I held him tight in my arms. "Set...o" Mokuba gasped, not opening his closed eyes. "It's ok Mokuba, I'm here." If he had to suffer, than I must suffer as well.
(A/N: Sorry, skipping again. I'm getting real lazy) The second day, and already Mokuba couldn't go to school. His condition was way too critical, not to mention I wouldn't let him go back to that school ever again.
I turned, I could stare at Mokuba any longer. "Oh, Seto. Do you want me to drive you to school?" Nonoke asked. No, Mokuba needed her more at the moment. I shook my head. "I'll walk."
"But it's raining cats and dogs" I had already left the room. Couldn't she understand. I wasn't the one who needed anything. Mokuba was. I opened the door and swung the backpack over my back.
I walked through the rain, my brown bangs soaked and wet, swished in my face. I didn't care anymore, I just wanted Mokuba to be ok. I stopped in front of the best school I had ever went to. It wasn't going to be the best much longer.
I walked across the street and into the crowded halls. "Hey Seto!" I turned. The 3 girls waving to me as they pushed through everyone else to get to me. "Hey, why did you leave early?" HiKari asked.
God, why did girls have to be so noisy? "I just had to do something" I said, opening my locker and getting my books. "Like what?" HiKari asked. She was getting annoying now. "I just did, ok?" I said, my anger rising.
"Uh, Seto, you seem annoyed, are you" That was it "WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?!" I yelled right in her face. I took a step back, my angry face disappeared as HiKari stood there cringing in fear with her eyes closed.
What kind of monster was I? "Um... I'm gonna go to class..." HiKari said, slipping away down the hall. "Wait! Kari! You ok?" Makura yelled after her. HiKari had already disappeared.
Fiera and Makura both turned to me and glared. "Ok, we know it was a bit rude for Kari to ask what happened yesterday" Makura started, "But it was another to yell at her, IN HER FACE, when she was asking if you were ok" Fiera finished.
"So why did you have to be such a jerk?" Makura asked, her hands on her hips. I rolled my eyes, and got my usual face on. "You girls know nothing." I said, turning to open my locker. Their mouthes dropped in shock.
"Fine! Then you can get yourself some new friends!" Fiera yelled, not as loud as I did, but still yelled. They both turned and walked down the hall. I smirked. At first, I was proud to have showed them who was boss.
But my smirk soon disappeared when I realized what I had done, and who I had lost. Maybe... maybe I was a little harsh. I better apologize before the guilt really gets to me. Ok, so will Seto have the guts to say sorry to Fiera and the others? Will they accept his apology? WHAT IS TO BE OF MY MOKIE?! Only fate will show Seto the meaning of friends, and friendship.
