Chapter 5-
"Surrender now! Or I'll kill you!"
Evan stood on the couch aiming a plunger at Mokuba's chest. The young 6 year old wore a bed sheet draped across his shoulders. On his head he wore a towel like a turban. Mokuba wore an odd assemble as well. He had thick, goggles on and a large dark blanket as a cape. The child had drawn a mustache on Mokuba to add character. The teen held a pillow across himself as a shield from Evan's 'plunger of terror'.
"Never!"
Mokuba launched his pillow attack on the hero. The boy coughed and wheezed clutching at his heart.
"Nooo!" cough "This isn't over!"
He dropped to the floor in a dramatic death.
"Haha! Victory!" Mokuba sang is self praise. Evan jumped up and struck Mokuba with the weapon. "Ahhh! You were dead!"
The young boy scoffed in laughter. "The hero NEVER dies...stupid..."
Mokuba laughed amazed at the kid. Never the less, it was Mokuba's turn to yell in agony. It was his turn to cough, wheeze, and make a long and satisfying death speech.
"Exactly what are you two doing in here?!"
Mokuba stopped in mid-sentence. He stood still, frozen in his position of near death. He averted his eyes to Tea who stood next to Yugi in the doorway.
"Shh...I'm dying!" He whispered. He then finished his speech.
"And I shall make my revenge! Mark my words! This isn't the last you've seen of me!"
With that said he coughed and panted and fell gruesomely to the floor with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Yugi laughed at his makeshift armor and smudged mustache.
Little Evan stood over him with wide eyes. He poked the motionless body of Mokuba for a few minutes. He eventually stood back in horror.
"Tea! I didn't mean to kill him!"
Yugi and Tea resorted to giggling at the child's ignorance. Evan stood confused at why they were laughing. He didn't see that his enemy had been resurrected and was reaching his tickle fingers to his sides.
Mokuba attacked, sending the small child into shrieks of laughter.
0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0
Mokuba had played with Evan, Tea's young cousin for two hours. Yugi and Tea had come in and out of speculating the two playing cards, action figures, Simon Says, Hide and Seek, watching cartoons, and numbers of silly little games.
While they were at their games, Yugi and Tea made an attempt to contact Seto Kaiba. It wasn't easy considering neither of them knew his number. They did some looking into it and decided to call the Kaiba Corp. Office.
"You've reached Seto Kaiba's office this is Chesley what can I do for you?"
"I'd like to speak to Kaiba"
"Yes and who are you for?"
"Um...what do you mean?"
"What Industry?"
"None...I'd just like to get in touch with him...it's kind of important"
"Yes, well Mr. Kaiba is very busy at this moment...you can leave a message and I'll leave it for him to see when he gets in tomorrow"
"Well, see it's about his brother"
"Young Mr. Kaiba is very busy as well..."
"If I could just talk to him for a few seconds.....wait how is he busy? He's here!"
"I'm sorry sir- you'll have to call back tomorrow"
"But"
Tea stared at Yugi's pathetic attempt to talk to this woman. He wasn't ever going to get to talk to Kaiba or let alone find out how to get in touch with him.
"Yugi give me the phone!" She snatched it from his hand nearly knocking him over.
"Listen lady we have got to talk with Kaiba one way or another or he's going to end up murdering someone. If he does and ends up going to jail I'm going to go in there and tell him to his face that it was his damn secretary's fault for not letting us speak with him. Now we have a VITAL message for Mr. Kaiba and if he's not there you better give us his cell phone!"
"..I..I'll transfer you right away!"
.oO0Oo.
Kaiba stood staring out his office window. The sky was grey, but not raining. The sun was low and could barely be seen behind the large buildings.
How could he have driven Mokuba to the point of running away from him altogether. It was only one of those spats they always have when one's ticked of at the other. Seto didn't think he'd actually run away.
"He'll come back....you know he will. He always does."
He turned and glared at the red head sitting in his chair staring at him. She was becoming terrible irritable to the CEO.
"He's never run away before...."
"Yea- but he's spent weeks at his friends houses without consulting you first..."
She told him the truth...she emphasized the word 'weeks'. Yea but there was a difference this time.
All the other times he would have his cell phone and call after a day or two. But this time he deliberately left all ways to track him down behind.
"You don't need to worry"
Fallen sighed. She herself found Kaiba annoying with his grumpy and hopeless mood. He looked terrible. She could tell he hadn't slept last night. He was probably out drinking. His hair was messier than usual and he had stubble shadowing his face. His coat was thrown on the chair and he stood looking at nothing out the window.
"Kaiba..."
He turned and looked at her.
"Mr. Kaiba you have a phone call...I told them you were busy but they insisted"
The annoying voice buzzed on his speaker, ruining the moment. He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He sat along the edge of his desk while he picked up the phone.
"Kaiba"
His gruff voice sounded through the phone. Tea sighed tiresomely.
"Kaiba...this is Tea...."
"Tea Garner? Yugi's little friend? What do you want?"
"Well I figured you'd probably be going out of your mind by now wondering where your brother is so I decided to call"
"You know where he is?"
"He stopped by a few hours ago. Said he was running away and my place would be the last place you'd look"
"He was right about that"
"Yea well, I told him I wouldn't let him stay but he insisted so I figured I'd let him stay for the night. But I figured I'd better call you and let you know before he goes somewhere else tomorrow"
"Right...I'll come get him right away"
She could hear the anger in his voice..just as she herself had been sharp with him..."
"Let him stay for the night and pick him up tomorrow... He's tired....he's been having a wild day...I promise I won't let him leave until you come"
"Alright fine"
"Nice doing business with you Mr. Kaiba"
"Sure"
"See you tomorrow then."
"Yea"
Tea turned to the questioning Yugi. "He'll pick him up tomorrow" Yugi nodded in response. They both got up and went into the room that was the source of much noise.
"Haha! I've stolen your sword!" The young child claimed as he help Mokuba's only weapon in the air. "Well...then I'll stop you with my bare hands!" The teen tackled Evan to the ground sending the boy into an eruption of noise.
"Ah! Ah! Aah...uuuhh...." Mokuba rolled over. "No more...no more"
Evan looked at heavily breathing Mokuba. His eyes grew big and wide. "Aww..." Mokuba immediately sat up with a worried look. "No don't cry! We can play some more!" The little boy looked up with a sniffling nose. Mokuba welcomed him to a hug.
"Evan I think Mokuba's right...it's time to settle down..."
"But Tea!" He spat back. He shook his head furiously and pulled on her shirt. "Mokuba still wants to play! I wanna play!" He yelled within his temper tantrum for a while. Yugi tried talking to him but in his poor attempts he only yelled louder.
Mokuba ripped the boy from Tea up placed him on his shoulders.
"Evan, will you watch a movie with me?" He said walking over to the couch. The young child immediately smiled with a yes.
Evan was dropped onto the couch while Mokuba fished through some movies.
"Mokuba....I hate to burst your bubble but...our DVD player doesn't work..."
"Huh!?" He toppled over to cover Evan's ears. "Evan...We're gunna need some snacks if we're going to watch a movie...wanna go get some?"
Yugi led Evan out of the room to get some snacks. Mokuba confronted Tea very bluntly.
"What the hell's wrong with the DVD player?"
She contemplated weather to tell him or not in fear of his anger. He was the little brother of a technological genius.
"Well, it just doesn't work...last week it died in the middle of a movie. I think it blew a fuse or something."
She almost giggled at his face of seriousness. "ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT"
She watched as he poked the player for a while. He turned it on to see it turn off again.
She listened to him 'hmmm' and 'I see' for two minutes. He had taken the player apart and was fishing through wires and circuitry.
"Ah..." He said at last. He took a brightly colored wire with a plug at the end and showed it to Tea.
"This was coming loose. Have you dropped this thing or something....if it gets shaken around often it will come out like it did...then again the manufacturers could have messed up and put it in wrong...either way it's fixed..."
She nodded and went to go check on the little chef's in the kitchen. She walked in to find them in the pantry digging out cookies, candy, and anything with sugar. There was popcorn popping in the microwave and cups on the counter waiting to be filled.
"Uh...Yugi..." She dared to interrupt their excavation for sugary food. "I don't think we need this much sweets..." His tri-colored hair emerged from the cabinet.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well...it's kinda late for so much sugar you know..." She said nodding towards the young Evan still looking for miniature chocolate cakes.
"Oh I see...ok..." He started stuffing everything back into the cabinet. "Evan I think popcorn is all we're going to eat"
The little boy was about to object but Mokuba came back in and distracted his thoughts. They all grabbed all the food and drinks and went to watch their movie.
.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.
"I told you he'd turn up somewhere"
He ignored her again. He didn't care if she was right or wrong. He still stood there, lost within his own thoughts. He was relieved that he'd found Mokuba. But he was also dreading the fact that he'd have to face the reality that he'd driven his brother to run away.
What was it that he'd done to make Mokuba despise him so much. Seto had always been his hero. When did all this change? It seemed Mokuba was a completely different person now. Had Seto thought he would never grow up? Seto enjoyed his child-like charm. It made him forget about his stress at work and school. Mokuba had made Seto forget about his pride and obsessions.
Seto knew that he must face Mokuba tomorrow. He knew that he'd have to say a final goodbye to the young care-free brother of his and say hello to the young growing adult. He'll have to set his brother free and allow him to make his own decisions.
He had never considered that Mokuba would ever want to do anything other than follow in his footsteps.
'Mokuba doesn't deserve to grow up in my expectations' He concluded.
Seto never knew what it was like to live without trying to prove himself before someone. Mokuba has no need to live that. Mokuba has to live to his own beat.
"So I was wrong?" He thought aloud. Fallen looked up from the computer startled.
"What do you mean?" She dared to ask. He turned and looked at her for the first time in 30 minutes.
"Was I wrong to assume he'd want to work here, and be like me...?"
She thought this over carefully.
"I wouldn't say that...You've taken on the role of Mokuba's father figure...and ever father figure has some sort of expectation's of their child."
Kaiba nodded as he took her words in.
"But Kaiba...I think Mokuba needs to tell you his share too... I think that he somehow feels he's obliged to do what you want him too. After all, he looks up to you so much...even still. He's told me how he's eternally grateful you didn't abandon him when you two were younger. He is torn somewhere between what he wants to do and what he feels he owes to you... Then you have to consider his age too... All teenagers defy their authority at one point. This is Mokuba's time to rebel and hate you..."
Kaiba smirked remembering being that age and yelling at Gozaburo Kaiba for the first time. It felt great to actually say no to him after all the crap he put him through.
"I see." He concluded.
.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.oO0Oo.
He knocked on the door twice carefully. He heard rummaging around behind the walls that separated him between his brother. He heard jiggling of the lock and the door was finally crept open.
"G'morning" Seto's arch rival greeted with a yawn. Kaiba caught a glimpse of Tea running around the hallway with trash obviously trying to pick up before he came in. He nodded toward Yugi trying hard not to snarl his way.
Tea welcomed him inside and let him to the room where his brother was.
"He's dead asleep" Tea said as they approached the teen sprawled out on the carpeted floor with a small child sleeping next to him. The two were surrounded with pillows, candy wrappers, popcorn remains, and blankets.
"See, my little cousin kinda fell in love with Mokuba, I couldn't get the two to separate." She explained seeing Kaiba's odd expression.
"Well, let's get him up..."
He got down near Mokuba and nudged him not so gracefully.
"Mokuba get up" He got a groan in return.
He nudged him not so gracefully once more before Mokuba sat up abruptly.
"Will you stop! I'm up!" He shook his head awake. He looked around to realise where he was and who was smirking at him.
"Come on Mokuba let's go"
Mokuba's jaw dropped in disbelief. "What...How? It was you!" He accused Tea. "You sold me out! How could you!?"
"You can be mad at them later lets go"
He stared at Yugi and Tea with a hurt expression as he was directed out the door. He got in the car as Kaiba turned back to Tea.
"Thanks..." He smiled at them gratefully. He then turned and shoved Mokuba in the car and soon they were gone.
