Chapter Fourteen: In For The Kill
Hailie awoke late in the morning, the clouds dark gray as rain drops fell from the sky. She didn't feel like getting up, but she knew, like most times, her mother would be in soon to wake her up and bring her downstairs for something to eat. She slowly removed the blankets from on top of her and got off her bed and walked out of her room.
When she got to the kitchen, she wasn't at all suprised to find her mother and Kaiba sitting at the table. She walked in and took her normal seat, grabbing some toast. Okay. . .this is so odd. No one is saying anything she thought. After buttering her toast, she took a bite out of it as she looked around the room.
Her mom was sitting across from her, eating and so was Kaiba, except he had a newspaper in front of him. I hate this so much she thought. Should I even be here? Maybe they were happy I was gone or something. . .I don't know anymore! I just don't want to sit here anymore, it's so awkward and all she thought.
She watched as Kaiba took the last few sips before finishing his coffee, then kissing her mom on the cheek. " Okay, well I'm off, I'll try to be home for supper" he said walking out, leaving the two alone. . .in silence.
" Your father is coming later on today" her mother said turning to her, finally talking to her. " Oh, that's. . .good" Hailie said. " Hailie, your still grounded you know" Jessica said. " I know that, you didn't need to tell me" she said finishing up her toast and leaving her mom. Thank you thank you thank you! I needed a reason to get away from there!
Hailie walked up the stairs and back into her room, where she sat on her bed, thinking what she should now do with all the spair time she had.
" Your back" she heard someone say. Turning around, she faced Malik who was looking through her things. " Can you stay out of that?" she asked walking up to him. " I could, but I won't" he smirked. " Thanks" she said sarcasticly. " So, what's up? Why did you sneak back into my room. . .again?" she asked.
Malik stopped touching her things and turned around to face her. I think it's time. . .she trusts me enough. . .but, why do I feel guilty then? he thought annoyed. I mean, she's just a girl, that I'm using, why should I feel anything towards her now? I mean. . .oh whatever! He thought angrily.
" I need to ask you something" he said. " Sure, what is it?" she asked. Oh God, please nothing bad she hoped silently. I mean, he can't already want to break up! It's been like only a few days she thought fearfully.
" Have you ever heard of a millenium bracelet?" he asked her. Hailie gave him a weird look. " Malik, are you okay?" she asked jokingly. " Hailie! I'm serious" he said angrily. " Okay, okay. . .no i've never heard of it" she said truthfully. " Well, your mother had it when you were born" he said. " So then why are you asking me?" she asked. " Because, maybe the fact that your her daughter. . .she might of told you about it, or perhaps, given it to you" he stated.
" Well, I don't have it, or heard of it" she said. " Do you think she might still have it by any chance?"Malik asked. " Maybe. . .it could be in her room and all" Hailie said thoughtfully. " Really? Could you go check?" he asked. " Why do you care for this anyways?" she asked. " Hailie, I just need to see it. . .hold it" he said. I can't tell her my true intentions, she'd never give it to me he thought.
" Well. . .I could go check for it, but not now. . .Marik is coming. . .don't know why, but he is" she said." I see, well, I'll be back tonight, so, if you go look for it, this is what it looks like. It's a golden bracelet, and it has an eye on it, it's not that hard to miss" he said. " Oh, okay, I'll look, I promise" she said. " Good, now, I'm sure you have much to do. . .I know I do, anyways, I'll be back tonight. . .eleven p.m. Be awake or here so I won't have to break in and all" he stated.
" Yeah, Yeah" she said, waving her hand at him, obviously tired of his ranting. Malik smirked. She is the oddest thing ever he thought. Malik walked up and kissed her like he usually did. He had wanted to kiss her longer. . .better, but a knock at the door had interupted them. " Hailie, your father is here" she heard her mother's voice call out.
Hailie's eyes widened. " Malik, go! If she see's you, she'll kill me" she said pushing him towards the balcony door. " Eleven Hailie" he said giving her a quick kiss and disapearing just before her mom opened the door. " Hailie did you hear- What are you doing? It's raining" her mother yelled when she saw her outside her room. " Sorry mom, I thought I saw something" she said coming back in, her hair a little damp.
" Well get dressed, your father would like to see you" she said, closing the door behind her.
~*~
After getting dressed, Hailie was back downstairs, though this time sitting on the couch, the t.v on, while Marik sat across from her, once again, neither talking." I hate this" she whispered to herself quietly as a commercial came on. " Hate what?" Marik asked. Hailie looked up, suprised he had heard her. " No-nothing" she stuttured slightly. " Well, it has to be something" he said.
" I just don't like. . .this" she said. Marik knew what she meant. He didn't like this either." Well. . .you made it this way" he stated. " I guess, Marik. . .I have to go do something for a while, I'll see you at supper okay?" she said. " Sure I guess" Marik said watching her. Hailie then got up from her seat and left the living room.
She ran up the stairs quickly yet quietly till she got to the top floor. Instead of going to the right like she usually did, she took a left and walked down the hall. Reaching the end, she came to a large wooden door. Making sure no one was around, she opened the door and slipped inside, unnoticed.
~*~
Kaiba sat at his office, typing swiftly on his computer. He had been working non-stop all morning. Stupid work he thought. He had usually loved his work. . .but today, it didn't feel right coming to work. He had left his home awkwardly, and he had not said one word to Hailie.
She must think I hate her. I mean. . .I said nothing he thought. He stopped typing on his laptop and laid back in his chair. I mean, we weren't always like this were we? He thought. . .
~*FlashBack*~
Kaiba sat at his home office, typing like he usually did. He had not been able to finish his work, but not wanting to be away from his family, he had returned home to join them for supper. But when he was done, he had gone upstairs to finish up on some work. He was in the middle of finishing up something when he heard a soft knock at the door.
He looked up from his computer and onto the door. " Come in" he said, already knowing who it was. Slowly, the large door opened, and a small head was visible from the side. She had the same big bright lavender eyes as always, though her blond hair was in pigtails. " Daddy. . .me comes in?" she asked sweetly. Kaiba couldn't help but smile as he nodded for her to come in.
The little girl smiled happily as she walked in, showing her full body. She was wearing a simple pink dress and white socks. She then ran up to him and jumped on his lap, giving him a big hug. " Daddy, guess what's I dids before. . .when I was done eating my foods" she said. " You actually ate your vegetables?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. She gigled and brought her mouth close to his ear. " I gaves it to da puppy" she whispered in his ear. Kaiba smirked. " Well, I won't tell mommy if you promise not to do that again" he said.
" I pinty swear!" she said, putting out her pinky. " So Hailie, what did you do?" he asked. She smiled and reached inside her pocket and took out a paper. " Here daddy, I dids this fo you! You have to pomise not to lose it" she said. " I won't, I promise" he said. She smiled and unfolded the paper, revealing a picture. She then handed it to him, waiting like every child, for praise.
The picture was mostly scribbles, though she was only three years old. " This is. . .beautiful! One day, your going to be an artist" he said giving her a kiss on the cheek. " Weally? Dat would be neat, but when I grow up, I want to be just like you!" she said. . .
~*End Of FlashBack*~
Kaiba sighed, as he opened his drawer, where still the picture laid safefly. God, she was so sweet back then he thought. I can't believe she wanted to be just like me. . .I wonder if she still does. . . we were so close back then, and I don't know where it all changed he thought. Oh wait. . .I do know. . .
~*FlashBack*~
Kaiba and Jessica were sitting down in the living room, watching television, when nine-year-old Hailie came into the living room angrily. She stood in front of both parents, her arms crossed. " What's wrong Hailie? Bad day at school?" Jessica asked. " Yeah I did!" she said. " What happened?" Kaiba asked. " I hafta ask you guys a question" she said. taking her school bag off and dumping it on the floor.
" Sure, what is it?" Jessica asked." Mummy, Daddy, I was writting in class today, cause we did this test and everything. So, I was writing my name like this: H-A-I-L-I-E and then my last name I-S-H-T-A-R. And, I realized something" she said, opening her back pack. " One time, daddy signed this test that I got really good on. He wrote: S-E-T-O and then K-A-I-B-A. Then, looking at another paper, that mummy signed because I failed and she didn't want daddy to know, she wrote this: J-E-S-S-I-C-A and then K-A-I-B-A! And then I realized, how come my last is different then my mummy's and daddy's. I wanted to know why, so I asked the boy beside me and you know what he said?" she asked them. " What?" Kaiba asked.
" He said I was adopted! And I said, Nick, what's dat? And he said, that's when you have different parents. And I said, that's not true! I have's a mummy and daddy and he said, then why is your last name different! And I said I don't know! I'll ask my mummy and daddy! And here I am, and I'm asking you, why's my name different then yours?" she asked.
Jessica turned to Kaiba, obviously not knowing what to say. " Should we tell her?" she asked fearfully. " I think we should. . .she may be young, but it's good for her to know" he said. Jessica sighed and turned back to Hailie. " Um sweetheart, your friend was right, well half right. You see. . .I'm your real mommy, but daddy isn't" she said. It had felt weird to say it. . .she had never imagined how she would tell her daughter.
" But then. . .you lied to me?" she asked. " Well. . .no, the daddy here has always been with you. . .but your real daddy. . .well, I don't know where he is" she said. Hailie sighed. She was confused. " Can we go see my daddy now?" she asked. " No Hailie. . ." Jessica trailed off. " Well. . .what's he like. . .or. . .how come you lied?" she asked, tears starting to come. She was so confused. Why did she have another daddy? And where was he? Didn't he love me? She thought.
" We didn't want you to get hurt. . .we wanted to tell you when you were older" Jessica said. Kaiba had gone to give her a hug, but she pulled away. " You told me never to lie, and you did it to me. . . and. . .I'm going to finish my homework" she said grabbing her bag and walking out. . .
~*End Of FlashBack*~
Hailie didn't look or talk to me for days Kaiba thought. And it was worse when we wouldn't answer he questions. I mean, how could you tell a nine year old everything? We told her she had a different father. . .but not everything, she was still too young Kaiba thought. And now, everything is blowing up again. Maybe I should make things right. . .before I lose my chance for good.
Getting up, he walked out of his office and headed for home.
~*~
Hailie had made it inside the room safetly to her happiness. Quietly, she tip toed over to her mom's drawer and opened it. There were pictures and papers yet no bracelet. She then walked over to her dresser and opened the jewlery box, in which had bracelets, but nothing like the one Malik had discribbed. Where the hell is it? She thought angrily when she noticed something bizzar. In the reflection of the mirror inside the jewlery box, she noticed a little opening.
Taking everything out, she then took off the bottom flap, and there it was. She picked it up slowly, examining it.This has got to be it. . .but why would mom hide it so well? She thought. Putting the bracelet aside, she put everything back in its place and left the room the way she had came. I wonder what Malik wants with this she thought as she walked back to her room. . .
