Skf: Hiya again! I felt bad for leaving you all hanging on that really mean cliff hanger so I decided I'd update AGAIN!
Yami: OO You? Updating the same story? In a short amount of time? The world has come to an end!
Skf: ¬¬ Shut up…I don't have time to update very often
Yami: A likely story
Skf: Oh and insane4seto I've noticed that you have reviewed most of my stories, and I'm certainly glad that you like them. But seeing how you always some how manage to fit in "damn you" for not finishing or leaving a cliff hanger. I decided I'd make an extra long chapter just for you!
Mokuba rushed out on to the balcony.
"SETO!"
Mokuba watched helplessly while he saw a big splash in the water. Mokuba sat there sobbing, until he realized he was free to phone the police! He knew Seto wouldn't like that but what other choice did Mokuba have? It was pointless for Mokuba to go outside and look for Seto.
Mokuba ran to phone as fast as he could and dialled 911. Mokuba told the police the situation he was in, and they said they would be there right away. So now all Mokuba could do is sit there and wait helplessly.
"Please Seto…be okay, I don't think I'd be able to live with out you…"
Mokuba prayed for his brother's safety as loud, piercing sirens filled his head. There was loud pounding on the door. Mokuba answered the door the police started the search. Mokuba was so nervous that he needed to find comfort from someone. The police were no help the only person he could think of was…Yugi.
Mokuba dialled Yugi's number as the tears poured down his face.
"Hello?"
Yugi's innocent voice filled Mokuba's ears; Mokuba couldn't help but feel worse by knowing that he automatically turned to Yugi, almost like he was replacing Seto.
"Y-yugi"
"Mokuba? What's wrong?"
"It's S-seto"
Mokuba could barley even say Seto name without it breaking his already broken heart.
"Don't worry Mokuba. We'll all be there in a minute!"
Before Mokuba could even say thank you Yugi had hung up. But Mokuba soon realized that he found little comfort knowing that Yugi and his friends were coming. Mokuba believed it was because Yugi and his friends didn't understand Seto and what he's had to go through. And though Mokuba didn't want to believe it, he knew that they were probably only coming for him, they didn't really care too much for Seto. And it broke Mokuba's heart to know that Seto knew that Mokuba was really the only one that truly cared. No one should have to face that.
"Mr.Kaiba may we have a word with you?"
Mokuba simply nodded, finding no need for the police to see hear him choke on his own sobs.
"I know you may not want to hear this, but since you're the only living relative of you brother…"
You mean the only person who actually cares for him, the only one who isn't blind enough to see that Seto is a great person Mokuba thought bitterly.
"You know that there is little chance of him surviving, I know it is still early into the search but I thought you should know…but we will try our very best"
"You'd better…or you'll regret the day you joined the police." Mokuba whispered dangerously, his voice filled with venom only loud enough for the chief of police to hear.
The chief of police just stared wide eyed at the young Kaiba, as he walked away. Never had he heard such words directed at him with such intensity. He figured that the young Kaiba must love his brother very much. Though form what he had heard about Seto…he couldn't understand why he would be loved by anyone.
Mokuba ran all the way to the front gate letting the salty tears stain his face; no one understood how special Seto was. Mokuba was determined to show everyone just how special Seto was. He'd make them all see, and then they would regret the day they judged and labelled him without even knowing a thing about him.
"Mokuba!!"
Mokuba turned only to see Yugi and his friends rushing towards him. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes a little at them. These were the people who think they know all there is to know about Seto, and whether they admit it or not they've all labelled him in someway or another.
"Mokuba…what's wrong with Kaiba?"
That's another way people liked to label Seto; they act as if he doesn't have a name. Instead they decide to call him by a last name that is not his own. Though they don't know, Seto hates it when people call him Kaiba. It brings back too many horrible memories of when Seto suffered under the wrath of Gozaburo. Though they'll never know that…because no one takes the time to get to know him.
"H-he's gone"
Mokuba whispered so quietly they all had to strain to hear him, they all had a curios look on their faces.
"What do ya mean gone? Did he leave ya?"
"Joey! Don't be so inconsiderate!"
Now Mokuba was starting to regret phoning Yugi, now all Mokuba would hear is Joey throwing insults at his older brother. While for all they knew he could be dead. Mokuba was about to tell them what happened when the chief of police ran up to Mokuba.
"Mr. Kaiba!! We've found someone!"
Mokuba's heart raced, and filled with hope. Mokuba was praying that they had found Seto and everything would be alright.
"Who? Tell me!! Who did you find?"
Mokuba's heart was racing; he needed to know if Seto was alright.
"We're not sure…we need you to come identify them"
Mokuba didn't care if Yugi and his friends had no clue what was going on. All that was important now was finding out who they found. Mokuba ran to where the chief of police was heading. Leaving Yugi and his friends terribly confused, so they just followed Mokuba.
As the Chief brought Mokuba to the body, Mokuba's heart started beating faster and faster. But when the chief turned the unconscious man to face Mokuba, Mokuba's heart sank. Mokuba's eyes watered as the tears streamed down his face, his heart ached. The chief gathered from the look on Mokuba's face that it was not his brother.
"That's Gozaburo…"
"The one who attacked you and your brother?"
"What do ya mean attacked??!!"
The chief and Mokuba promptly ignored Joey's outburst.
"…Yes"
"Would you mind telling me why?"
"I'd rather not talk about it right now"
The chief gave Mokuba an understanding nod, he felt bad…he had gotten the young boy's hope up so high only to have it crushed. The chief ordered his men to keep searching for the eldest Kaiba, and left Mokuba to face Yugi and his friends.
Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, Yami, Ryou and Bakura all stood there staring at Mokuba, all wondering who this Gozaburo person was and why he attacked Kaiba and Mokuba. They also wanted to know why the police were looking for Kaiba in the river that run past the mansion.
"Eh…Mokuba why exactly are da police looking for Kaiba in da river?"
As soon as Joey reminded Mokuba that Seto was still missing and that monster who should've died was found. A fresh load of tears poured down his face. Mokuba was surprised that he had any tears left.
"…Because he's in there…somewhere"
"Kaiba is in the river?"
"That would be what I said!"
Mokuba instantly covered his mouth with his hand. He hadn't meant to snap at them. It's just that they just kept reminding him of the situation that he was in.
"…I'm sorry for snapping at you"
"It's alright Mokuba, your going through a hard time"
"Tea's right Mokuba, we'll understand if you get angry"
Mokuba then realized they were all saying that he's going through a hard time and they don't mind if he snaps at them…but they never did that for Seto did they? No, Seto goes through a hard time every single day. But if he snaps at them they just insult him. Also it was irking Mokuba to no end that they kept calling him Kaiba.
"So Mokuba…whose dis Gozaburo dude? An' why'd he attack ya?"
Mokuba worked hard to fight back the tears…but failed miserably every time someone said that name it always brought back such terrible memories.
"That was Seto and I adoptive father"
"Adoptive father? I didn't know you and Kaiba were adopted"
There's a lot of things you don't know…probably because you don't care/ Mokuba thought.
Mokuba decided it was time for all of them to know the truth. He couldn't care less if he was going to sound rude, cold, bitter, or anything like that. He knew Seto wouldn't like it but it was time to let them know.
"Well obviously you wouldn't know! Do you honestly think you know anything about him?"
"Pff, all's ya got to know is he's a cold hearted jerk"
Mokuba glared at them with such intensity even Bakura the evil spirit of the millennium ring was a bit intimidated. The intensity in his glare at that moment was more vicious than one Kaiba had ever given them.
"You know nothing! But here…let me inform you. Since you're all too blind to figure out I'll give you a short lesson. Our parents died when we were young, Gozaburo Kaiba adopted us, he beat Seto almost everyday, but Seto put up with it foe my sake, then one day Seto threatened Gozaburo and Gozaburo fell out of a window, and was proclaimed dead, and just a couple days ago he came and today he attacked Seto and I. Seto fought him to protect me, and they both they both fell off the balcony and into the river that's filled with jagged rocks, and now he's missing!! That's basically it in a nut shell! So don't say you know him when you don't!!"
With that all said and done Mokuba stormed off, even more upset than before. He ran over to the where the police were searching. Yugi and his friends stood there bewildered…had Kaiba really gone trough all of that? Then they realized what Mokuba had been trying to say. They knew absolutely nothing about Seto Kaiba.
Yugi and his group went over to where Mokuba and the police were, but Mokuba would not even look at them. He was far too upset and angry to deal with all of their questions. Mokuba was quickly ripped away from his thoughts when one of the police officers found a body in the river.
All the police rushed into the water to get the body, Mokuba stood on the shore watched with great fear. When they pulled the body out of the water Mokuba automatically recognized the white trench coat.
"SETO!!!"
Mokuba ran over to the police where they had placed Seto's body. The paramedics came running over just as quickly as Mokuba did.
"Seto…Seto please wake up…please"
Mokuba watched helplessly as the paramedics searched for a pulse. So far things didn't look too good. There was blood covering at least half of Seto's head and Mokuba was pretty sure that his brother's arm wasn't supposed to bend that way. Although he did look a lot better than Gozaburo was looking. Though sadly Gozaburo was fully awake now and apparently was going to be fine.
Gozaburo watched as the paramedics desperately looked for a pulse. Gozaburo was quite happy with what he had done. Sure was hurt too but if he actually managed to kill Seto, he didn't care that he himself was hurt. When he noticed the paramedics were STILL looking for a pulse he laughed, though it was a bit strained.
"Haha...haha t-there's no p-point in looking t-the stupid boy i-is dead."
Mokuba intense glare fell upon Gozaburo, he hated this man…he truly hated him. How could someone so cruel come out of an accident fine, when that one who didn't deserve anything that has happened to them suffers?
"Shut up Gozaburo!! At least Seto has people who care about him!"
"Don't make me laugh Mokuba…you know fully well that everyone hates your brother. The only one who cares for him is you. You only accept him because you know he's acts so cold is because I made him that way"
"…I know…I know why he acts the way he does! But that's not why I love him. Even if you hadn't beaten him every time he did something nice to teach him a lesson I will still love him…no matter what! And I know there are other people who care for him!"
"Really? Exactly who are these other people?"
"I do ya big jerk!"
Mokuba turned around surprised. Then he smiled brightly, did Joey really mean it?
"I care for Seto too!"
Mokuba's smile brightened even more, not only had Tea admitted she cared she also called him by his first name! Soon every member of Yugi's group had said that they cared for Seto, and Gozaburo looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
"B-but how could you all c-care? H-he's so cold towards you"
Mokuba stood up confidently knowing that he had people to back him up. He had a smirk just like Seto's plastered on his face.
"He only acts cold because you made him that way…but unlike you Seto has a heart and it's not too late for him to change!"
"How can this be? All my plans have been foiled!"
Then Gozaburo realized that there had been no news on Seto…so he was most likely dead…with a sickening smirk plastered on his face, he decided now was his time to gloat!
"Hmm too bad Seto never got a chance to discover he actually had some people who care…now it's too late isn't it? It appears he's dead. I guess you'll have to live with the guilt of never showing him you cared"
But as soon as Gozaburo had said that one of the paramedics face brightened considerably.
"I found a pulse!!!"
Everyone turned and looked at he paramedic in shock… Mokuba was the first to recover and he let a smile show through all of his tears. Slowly Seto's eyes started to open, and the first thing he saw was Mokuba's smiling, tear stained face.
"This can't be!!" Gozaburo shrieked
Mokuba looked over at Gozaburo and smirked just like Seto and decided that he'd state the obvious since Gozaburo seemed too dense to figure it out himself.
"Gozaburo…you loose"
Yami: Holy moly…that is the longest thing I've ever seen you write!
Skf: I know! TT My fingers hurt
Yami: Faints
Skf: --; Well insane4seto there you go!! This extra long chapter was just for you! In case you didn't read what I said at the very beginning. This time you can't say "damn you" because this chapter was super long, and it's all because for you and all of your reviews for my stories!
