Chapter 8
Everything I Wanted From The Start
I smiled, just holding Mokuba close in my arms. Mokuba looked up, his face turned worried as he looked up at my face. "Seto! You're bleeding!" I felt my injury from the glass. Indeed, I was bleeding. Blood trickled down the side of my face.
"Seto! We should get help" Mokuba said grabbing my hand and leaving the safety of my arms. I pulled off from Mokuba's grip. "Nah, it's ok Mokuba. I'm good." I wiped my sleeve across my face, capturing all the blood.
"Are you sure?" Mokuba asked. I nodded. Nonoke stared at us, a warm smile on her face. "Your honor" Nonoke said, turning to the judge. "I think Seto Kaiba here passed my test. He maybe 16, but he sure does act a lot older. More like a 18 year old, don't you think?"
The judge turned to me and eyed me. "Come on your honor, I think he deserves it after everything him and his brother have been through, don't you think?" The judge still eyed me, but smile.
"Yes, I do believe your right Dr. Isuzi." I smiled, and turned to Nonoke. She winked at me as the judge hit his mallet against the desk "I proclaim Seto Kaiba innocent and able to live alone in Domino freely."
"Yay!" Kita said running up and hugging me, "Your gonna come back!" Kita said happily. I smiled once again. "Yeah, it didn't feel right at school without you there to call me Mutt" Joey said. I only grinned, he now glared.
"But..." I turned, Fiera, HiKari, and Makura, all saddened at this. I pushed off Kita and walked over to them. "I have to thank you." HiKari looked almost surprised at this. "For what?" there goes her curiosity again.
"For everything. You guys taught me more then any consoler ever could. And I thank you for that." Makura looked down, "So you really don't wanna stay." I stuffed my hands into my pockets, "Well... Domino is everything I've ever known. And... well, being away just makes me feel alone."
"But..." Fiera began, "Ah, let him go." HiKari said, I turned to her, "At least Toji is gone, right guys?" She grinned. "Good point Kari, well see ya around Seto" Makura said putting her arm around HiKari.
They all turned to walk out of the room. I grabbed Makura's hand, causing them to stop. I knew this was kind of sudden, but it was the only way to thank them. I pulled Makura into a kiss.
When I finished, Makura was stunned, not to mention red. "Um..." was all she could say. "A goodbye present." I turned to Fiera and pulled her into a kiss as well. When I finished, Fiera only grinned. "Yep, I win. I told you guys he was a good kisser."
Makura and HiKari handed Fiera 2 dollars. I only chuckled. I turned to HiKari, she turned red fast as I moved closer, she stopped me. "Um... could you?" HiKari pointed to her head.
I grinned and kissed her on the head. "I'll miss you guys a lot." Makura put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes, "Well duh!" HiKari laughed, putting her hand behind her back.
"Well, time for us to go. We got some bonding time with our cousin, see ya Seto!" Makura called, turning and grabbing HiKari by the arm, "Come on Kari." HiKari turned one last time as she was running, "Bye Seto! I'll miss you!" HiKari said, turning back and running out the door along side her sister.
I turned to Fiera. "So... no fancy goodbyes?" I asked Fiera. Fiera shook her head. "Nah, people come, people go. I just hang wit the Bruder sisters." I frowned, thinking she would forget me amiddiatly as she turned and began to walk away.
She stopped, "Oh yeah," she turned around, "But you were different." She smiled and walked out the door. I turned around, my friends, my brother, and then.
I looked down as I walked over to Nonoke who was crying and saying her goodbyes to Mokuba. She looked up from Mokuba and turned to me. "Well, I guess this is the end for a little adventure, huh?"
I nodded sadly. "I guess so, but Nonoke, I just want you to know" I couldn't believe my own words, "That you are the best mom I've ever had. And I wanted to thank you, for everything that you ever did. You showed me that there are other people out there. People who can love you."
She smiled, new tears flowing over the old. "And you are the best pair of sons I've ever seen in my life. Whoever your mother was, she gave birth to a couple of great kids."
I smiled and looked down at Mokuba. I could see the utter joy and happiness Mokuba felt from those very words. Which only made me happier.
Nonoke finally stopped staring at us and wiped her tears. "Well, you guys better get going. Domino is a long way away." The others looked at each other.
"Da woman's got a point" Joey said. "Well, I guess we better go Kauba" Yugi said. "Have a good one" Nonoke held out her hand to me. I smirked and held her hand, but pulled her towards me, enough to give her a hug.
"I love you... mom" I whispered to Nonoke, letting her go. "Come on Seto! Everyone's already ahead of us!" Mokuba coached, grabbing me by the hand and dragging me off. I turned one last time. Nonoke waving goodbye.
We ran out of the courtroom and over to a bus. "Well, Domino here we come!" Mai announced as the bus started.
I took a deep breath and let everything out. I could finally relax, I was going home. I turned to the window. I saw Alex on her Suzuki Cotana, Makura holding onto her, and HiKari squeezing her sister around the waist with her eyes closed.
I smiled. I turned when some thing leaned on me. Mokuba had already fallen asleep. I guess all the excitement had worn him out. I closed my eyes, imagining my mother and the words that Nonoke had said about us; "Whoever your mother was, she gave birth to a couple of great kids..." the words drifted me off to sleep.
Dear Mom,
Hey, it's me again. I just HAD to talk to you since we had gotten back from the trip. Tokyo was amazing, and I guess you were right about. It's the greatest place in the world, with the greatest people. Yep, I found a couple of girl while I was there. Kind of like you and Dad. But I'm still stuck on that Wheeler girl. Mokuba recovered from his injury and has more energy than ever. And also when we got home, Mokuba insisted that we check out my cut. That didn't work out so well. You know how I react with doctors. But You should've saw how cute Mokuba was when he asked me. Anyway, Mokuba is calling and he's insisting that I eat with him on the first night back. Well, happy 4th of Juily, I love you!
With all the love in the world,
The great Seto Kaiba
Ok, tell me it was cute, tell me it was cute!!!!! Niomi: That was stupid. Kari: I know you are but what am I? Anyway, this was in honor of Juily 4th. Happy Juily 4th!!!!! Oh, and a little song/moral of story. Chrous of "That's The Way It Is" by Celine Dion: When you want it the most
There's no easy way out
When you're ready to go
And your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
Cause that's the way it is!
