Five: Wasted
&
Atemu had left Ki to pick up Yuugi and Tamashii and bring them home. Ki was uplifted with the very thought of seeing her daughter and brother-in-law. She had missed them so much. She longed to hold them in her arms, just knowing that they wouldn't leave her. Ki sat on the living room couch wrapped up her soft fleece blanket that was decorated with blue and white colored snowflakes. She pulled the blanket closer around her as she started to fall asleep, knowing her family would be there when she woke up.
The door bell sounded throughout the house. Ki lifted her head from her shoulder and looked over at the door of her house. She blinked curiously. She didn't know who it could possibly be. She slowly removed her fleece blanket and laid it down on the couch gently. She stood up revealing her baggy long-sleeve shirt that's neck stopped just below her shoulders and blue jeans. She walked to the door and stared at it for a moment, still wondering who it could be. She opened the door and saw who it was. Her world turned upside down once again.
"Seto…" She whispered to herself, her blue-hazel eyes widening.
"Hello Ki." Seto said as he smirked. Ki started to tremble as she stepped back, nearly tripping over he own feet. She was afraid. She was afraid of him and what he would do. He was so unpredictable that she wouldn't even be able to imagine what was even going on inside his mind.
"I see you are back with your husband again. That's so touching." Seto said and began to walk toward Ki. Ki continued to step backward in fear. She wanted to far away from him and she wanted him gone. She didn't love him; her love for him was an infatuation. Seto continued to walk toward her still smirking as he saw the panic in her eyes. She tripped, falling onto the floor with full force. Ki didn't want him here and she needed him to know that she didn't love him.
"Seto, I don't love you. I love Atemu, not you." Ki told him as she looked absently at the floor. Seto sharply walked over to Ki and grabbed her by her arm. His ice-blue eyes looked into her blue-hazel eyes. His eyes scared her and she wasn't able to get away.
"You don't love me? You loved me enough to sleep with me!" He said rather coldly and angrily as he shook her arm fierce. Ki shut her eyes tightly.
"It was a passion not love."
"It was not!" He shouted at her more angrily than ever before. Ki opened her eyes and looked at Seto. She saw the anger come from his eyes. He wanted her but this was impossible.
"It was. Whether you want to believe it or not," She told him calmly, "You have a lover. Go back to Kisa. Please, just go back to her." She said as she looked at the floor again hoping that her words made it through.
"Kisama! Get away from her!" (1) Seto turned around and standing, letting go of Ki's arm. Ki looked past him to Atemu who was standing in the open door way with anger in his eyes and face as he held Tamashii in his arms. Tamashii looked over at Ki, curiosity in her eyes.
"Daddy… why was uncle Seto holding Mama like that?" Tamashii asked Atemu aloud. Atemu ignored her question as his anger built up within him.
"Get out of my house Kaiba!" He shouted at Seto angrily. Seto smirked as he closed his eyes. He walked toward the door and once he reached it he paused.
"She's all yours. I have someone to go see." Seto said before leaving out the door. Ki slowly stood up as Atemu put down Tamashii and she ran toward her mother. He placed his hands on her shoulders. His crimson eyes looked worriedly at her.
"Daijoubu desu ka?Did he hurt you in any way?" Atemu asked Ki agitatedly. (2) Ki smiled at him and shook her head.
"Yes, I'm fine. He didn't hurt me. But I think he's going to go back to Kisa now." Ki said as she looked at Atemu reassuringly. Atemu's worry cleared from his face as he hugged Ki tightly and sighed. He was so happy to know that it was all over now. Everything would finally be all right.
"Subete ha yoi ka?" (3) Ki and Atemu came out of their embrace and turned to see Yuugi holding Tamashii's hand and walking towards them. Ki and Atemu both looked at each other for a moment and smiled.
"Hai." Ki said to Yuugi and she walked towards him and brought him into a warm hug, "It's really good to see you again my dear brother." Ki said as she pulled away from the embrace. (4) Yuugi smiled happily. He always loved to smile and no one could smile as he could.
"It good to see that you are okay and that the family is back together," Yuugi said still smiling. "I missed you but I'm sure someone else missed you even more than I did." He said indicating Tamashii. Ki smiled as she bent down and looked into Tamashii's big violet eyes. Tamashii smiled back as she hugged Ki tightly.
"I missed you so much Mama!" Tamashii shouted happily. Ki held Tamashii close to her body as she stood up, holding her daughter in her arms.
"I missed you too. So very much." Ki told her. Tamashii pulled away slightly and took a piece of her long wavy, brown hair from behind her blonde, lighting bolt shaped bangs.
"Mama, could you please braid my hair?" Tamashii asked pleadingly, "Daddy can't do it right!" She complained. Atemu, Ki and Yuugi all laughed before Ki agreed to braid her daughter's hair as she always would. Now things would be better.
