Chapter 2
Remedy
Author's Note: I forgot to give so credit to some things. This story was inspired by ESB's 'The Remedy', 'Sooner or Later', and 'The Second Time Around' on their new CD 'BombShellShocked' as well as their 'Hole in the Head' on their 'Blue Dressed in Black' CD. I'm not planning on putting any of them in this story, but thanks ESB.

Mokuba opened the door to a young woman. She was about Seto's age and had long black hair tied back in a ponytail. She had brilliant brown eyes and she dressed in a simple t-shirt and blue jeans.
She was in awe at the mansion.
"He's up this way," Mokuba instructed.
Mokuba led her to Seto's room. Seto seemed to have fallen asleep again and had rolled onto his side with his back facing Mokuba and the black haired girl. She walked over to the bed and slipped her hand onto Seto's forehead. Seto woke up and rolled over to face her.
"What do you want?" he growled dangerously.
"I was sent to take care of you," the girl explained. "I'm Remedy."
Seto didn't say anything.
"Feels like you've got a fever," Remedy said.
"Maybe I do, it's nothing to worry about," Seto insisted.
But Remedy wasn't going to take any chances. She took out an electronic thermometer and stuck it in Seto's ear. A couple seconds later, it beeped and Remedy removed it.
"Hmmm, 102. Yep, you got a fever," Remedy reported. "Do you have a headache?"
"Maybe," Seto replied.
"Listen, either you tell me, or you feel like crud for who knows how long," Remedy growled.
Seto growled and then said," Yes, I've got a slight one."
"Good, now we're getting somewhere," Remedy smiled.
Seto growled slightly, then lapsed into a short coughing fit.
"So, you've got a cough too?" Remedy asked.
"What does it sound like?" Seto replied.
"Are you in pain anywhere?" Remedy asked.
"Legs, arms, chest, and head," Seto replied in a bored tone.
"Would you like anything to eat?" Remedy asked.
"No thanks, I'm not hungry," Seto replied, pulling his sheets and blankets closer to his body.
"You cold?" Remedy asked.
"A little," Seto snapped.
"Well I'd say that you've gotten the flu," Remedy concluded.
"Lucky me," Seto grumbled.
"Didn't you get a shot?" Remedy asked.
"Yes," Seto replied testily.
"I guess you were just unlucky," Remedy stated. "Well, it'll be about five days before you can get out of bed."
"FIVE DAYS?!?!" Seto sat up.
"Yes, five, then you can get up and move around, but you'll still need to rest," Remedy tried to push Seto back down. "It'll be seven to ten days before you're completely better. After that, it is recommended that you return to your usual activities gradually," she added as she finally got Seto to lie back down.
Seto lapsed into another coughing fit, and then relaxed. Remedy's cool fingers on his forehead caused him to look up at her.
"I've heard a lot about you from my mother, so I'm going to call her and tell her that I'm going to stay here until you get better, okay?" Remedy told him.
"What?!" Seto demanded.
Mokuba, who had been watching the whole thing, frowned slightly.
Even though Seto changed how much time he worked, his attitude towards other people hadn't changed a bit. He understood why. One word explained it all, Gozaburo. That evil, vile man had turned Seto's heart cold, just like his own. Seto had trusted him and Gozaburo betrayed that trust. Seto never used to be cold. True, he's always been kind of solitary, but not cold. Though, Seto was acting a little bit more trusting with Remedy.
Seto glared into Remedy's soft eyes, and then growled, "Fine, if it makes you feel better, you can have the room on the left of mine."
"That's good, thank you," Remedy told Seto politely. "Now, where's the phone?"
"I'll show you!" Mokuba volunteered.
Remedy followed Mokuba, leaving Seto alone with his thoughts.
WHY DO I FEEL DIFFERENT AROUND HER? Seto thought. IT'S ALMOST A SECURE KIND OF FEELING. BUT WHY? WHAT MAKES HER DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE?
Seto's thoughts became dozy as he drifted off to sleep.
I know it wasn't a very exciting chapter, I even thought it was kind of dull, but hey, it's going to get better. And knowing myself and how I write, it'll probably change into and Action/Adventure story, just like EVERYTHING else I write, but anyway, REVIEW! Until next time...
