Amber – Hello and welcome to another exciting story. I would like to say that Yu-Gi-Oh or its characters do not, I repeat, do not belong to me. They belong to the wonderful Kazuki Takahashi. Any character or Millennium Items you do not recognize belongs to little old me. Now, one with the first chapter.
Chapter One
The Start of a Bad Week
"I'll be sure to tell him," a teenaged girl said as she sat at a desk with a phone to her ear, "He'll be back tomorrow. I'm positive. Good bye!" The door slightly creaked open as the girl ran her fingers through her glistening shoulder length turquoise hair. Her chin length teal hair curved around her thin face as her deep violet eyes focused on the oak desk presented in front of her. Three pieces of her bangs dangled lonely like in the middle of her forehead.
"Amber," a small childlike voice whispered from the half-opened door, "Are you ok?" The girl, who has now been identified as Amber, looked up. Mokuba was standing in the doorway. A slight smile crossed Amber's face as she started to lean back in the big black leather chair that she was occupying. The sun's last light was glistening in through the windows behind her making her golden ball earrings and heart locket sparkle. "Did you hear me Amber?"
"Sorry Mokuba," Amber said as she quickly stood up, "I've had a rough day, but I'm glad it's time to go home. I'm also glad that Seto will be back tomorrow." Mokuba nodded an agreement as he watched Amber stretch. Amber's short black vest, that was blazing with the letters KC in turquoise on the front right and back, lifted up a little along with her turquoise belly shirt. Not much of the belly shirt could be seen from behind the vest though. Only the sleeves, a little of the front where the vest was shaped like a v, and a little of the bottom were visible. "Let's go Mokie."
"Alright," Mokuba said as he shook his head. Amber smiled and walked by him. The silver belt buckle she was wearing sparkled and was emblazed with the letters KC. It was connected to a black belt that wrapped itself around the belt loops of her flares. Her black leather flares fit just tight enough to show her figure yet, they were loose at the bottom. They covered up some of her black boots though.
"Mokie," Amber said as she stood at the doorway, "I personal don't mind letting you spend the night at Kaiba Corp, but......" Amber trailed off as Mokuba quickly ran by her and the sunset caught her eye. A sudden sigh escaped off her rosy lips as she shut the door to the, now, quiet office.
Once downstairs, many friendly goodbyes rang out. "Good bye Miss. Kaiba" this and "Have a good evening Miss. Kaiba" that. Amber appreciated all the goodbyes and goodnights. She felt loved and wanted.
"What's wrong Amber," Mokuba asked as he watched the last employee leave, "You seemed to be bothered by something." Amber shook her head. She didn't realize she had just frozen. Many thoughts and emotions were flowing through her body and mind.
"It's nothing Mokuba," Amber said as she walked up to the front doors, "Let's go already. I'm quiet sure Jasper isn't going to wait for us much longer." Mokuba smiled and ran up next to Amber. Amber smiled too as she pushed him out the door and walked out herself. The alarm was set and Kaiba Corp had been officially closed down for the day.
"Miss. Kaiba," a young male voice rang out from the right side of Amber and Mokuba, "You look really tired. I'll be happy to take you home as quick as possible." Amber and Mokuba looked to their right to see a tall young man with ear length dirty blonde hair standing next to a long white limo. He had a goatee just on his chin, a white chaffer's outfit on, and hazel eyes. Amber looked delighted to see him. She started to run up to him with Mokuba right behind her.
"I thought that was your job Jasper," Amber said as she suddenly stopped in front of the man. Jasper slightly smiled and opened the very back door to the limo. Amber nodded and got into the limo. Mokuba quickly followed her in. The door suddenly, but quietly shut behind them.
Within a few seconds, the limo was started and rolling down the streets of Domino City. Amber gazed at all of the buildings passing by her window. It seemed like the buildings were moving and she was sitting still.
"Amber," Mokuba said as he gazed out his window, "Come here. You've really got to see this." Amber quickly scooted over to Mokuba's window and looked over his shoulder. The sunset was shining beautifully over the ocean. It made every ripple look like a shower of glitter. Amber loved the beauty of what she was seeing. It was absolutely breath taking, but her heart sank to her feet. She slowly and quietly scooted back over to her window.
"What's wrong with me," Amber thought to herself as she put her hand to her face, "I can't look at a wonderful sunset without feeling lonely. I really need a boyfriend or at least a friend that's a boy." A depressed sigh wondered off Amber's lip. Her whole life has been nothing but work. She finds herself lucky to have her only friend, Michelle.
An hour later, the limo rolled up to a pure white mansion. Amber went to open the door when it opened for her. She looked up suspecting a butler or maid. To her surprise it was neither. It was her other stepbrother, Seto. Her look of surprise suddenly turned to a very unhappy frown.
"Aren't you supposed to be in bed mister," Amber asked as she got out of the limo and crossed her arms. Mokuba quickly jumped out behind her and froze when he spotted Seto. Seto didn't look too well. He was pale and tired looking. His icy blue eyes were misty and his shiny reddish-brown hair seemed dull. He was in a purple velvet robe with the letters KC stitched in gold on the front right side and had a purple blanket wrapped around him. He also seemed to have a pair of velvet purple pajama bottoms on too.
"Amber," Seto said with a weary voice as Amber put her arms around him so she could help him back inside, "Was everything fine at work? Did you tell Mr. DeFaso that I'll be in tomorrow?" Amber shook her head. Everything was fine and she did tell Mr. DeFaso, but Seto was worrying her.
"Listen," Amber said as her and Seto stopped on the porch, "You are in no condition to work or go to school. I want you to rest and I don't want any buts. Tomorrow is my first day in your school and I'll make sure to pick up your work. Personally, I think you deserve these sick days off. You're always working your fingers to the bone." Seto went to say something, but Amber put he slender finger to his pale rose-colored lips. She then started helping him inside the mansion. She would need some sleep too. She had to go to school tomorrow and she didn't want to miss her first day or Seto's work.
The next morning, Amber was sitting at the breakfast table looking over the newspaper. A headline caught her eye. It read, "Kaiba Corp Running Smoother Pass Few Days". Amber grinned slightly as she put her glass of orange juice to her mouth.
"Amber," Mokuba yelled as he came in to the kitchen dressed in a blue and white striped shirt, blue jeans with a hole in the left knee, and blue and white sneakers. Amber looked up from the newspaper and over at Mokuba.
"What Mokie," Amber questioned as she sat her glass down. Mokuba walked over to a chair and sat down. A worried look crossed his face. Amber started to get worried herself. "What's wrong?"
"Seto's fever has risen again," Mokuba said as he stared at the floor, "and he refuses to see a doctor." Amber was overcome with sudden sorrow. She sat the newspaper down and started going through her book bag. Mokuba shyly looked over at her.
"I'm giving you Dr. Keith's number," Amber said as she pulled a notebook and pencil out of her book bag, "You call him and tell him everything that Seto has. From his pale complexion to how high his fever is. He does house calls and yes I'm letting you stay home." Mokuba smiled slightly, but was too worried about his brother to really care. The doorbell suddenly rang out through what seemed like a completely empty space. It seemed to echo forever with no end.
"I'll get it," Mokuba said as he jumped off his chair and started running toward the door. Amber was still writing down Dr Keith's number. She kept making mistakes and had to erase and rewrite. She should have really put her reading glasses on first or at least calmed down a little.
"Who is it Mokuba," Amber questioned as she continued to erase and rewrite.
"It's Michelle," Mokuba yelled back, "Should I let her in? She's with Tristen." Amber shook her head. She didn't know who Tristen was personally. She only knew three people and they consisted of Seto, Mokuba, and Michelle. The only thing she knew about Tristen was that he was Michelle's boyfriend.
"Sure Mokie," Amber said as she started to get frustrated.
In a few seconds, a girl and Tristen walked into the kitchen. Mokuba followed them. The girl had ear length shimmering red hair with chin length velvet like black bangs that curved around her face. Her eyes were a sparkling lime green and she stood no taller then Tristen's chin. Both her and Tristen had the Domino High School's uniforms on. She also must have been Michelle.
"What are you scribbling about," Michelle questioned as a bright glare came off her golden chocker. Amber slammed her pencil down and put her fingers in her hair. Tears could be seen falling onto the white paper. "Hey, you ok Amber?"
"No," Amber said in a low and teary voice, "Seto is really sick and he refuses to see a doctor because he thinks he's perfectly fine. Stupid dumbass!" Mokuba walked over to Amber and started rubbing her back.
"She was trying to write down Dr. Keith's number really quickly," Mokuba said as he continued to rub Amber's back, "I guess she couldn't see to write it down. She didn't have her reading glasses on." Michelle slightly gasped. She then quickly grabbed the pencil and paper.
"That's my doctor and I know his number by heart," Michelle said as she wrote really fast, "Here! Don't lose it Mokuba." Mokuba nodded and grabbed the paper off the table. He then picked Amber's book bag up.
"Here," Mokuba said with a sweet smile, "I don't think you want to be late for you're first day of school. I have everything under control." Amber looked over at Mokuba with tears still rimmed around her eyes. She suddenly hugged him.
"I don't know what I would do with out you," Amber said as she let go of Mokuba. Mokuba smiled again, put Amber's notebook and pencil in her book bag, closed it up, and handed it to her. Amber grabbed it, stood up, wiped her eyes, and messed up Mokuba's hair. You could now tell that she was wearing the girls' Domino High School's uniform.
"Fashion statement," Michelle said as she put her arm around Amber's neck in a friend like way, "Pink DOES NOT go with your hair." Amber slightly giggled as Michelle started walking her out and Tristen followed closely behind. Even though Amber was giggling on the outside, but she still was crying inside. She just hoped Mokuba knew what he was doing.
Amber – That's it for this chapter. That was a lot of work if you come to think about it. Anyways, what did you think? I know all of you Seto fans are all worried and I don't give previews to the next chapter either. I like holding onto suspense. If you want to find out what happens next, tune in next time to The Power of Love!
