A Song for Seto
Disclaimer: I'm writing fanfiction, meaning I'm a fan, therefore through many calculations, we find out that I don't own yugioh! That took a genius to work out ~_~
Chapter 9: Rhythm of the Rain
This chapter includes some lyrics from the song Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain, (old song yes I know) by the cascades, which I also don't own. It just sorta tied in with this chapter so I thought I'd put it in.
~~
Before she could say anything the door to Seto's office opened and a woman slightly taller then Kumiko with blonde hair down to her waist and a skirt that would put worldwide miniskirts to shame.
"Seto darling, are you ready for our dinner date tonight?"
"Not right now Linda. We'll talk later."
"Don't forget Seto," she said blowing him a kiss as she left the office.
Kumiko narrowed her eyes as she stared at Seto, "What the hell was what that?"
"Well since you've seen everything, I don't think I need to explain anything. I was going to tell you eventually but now is a good time as any. I never liked you Kaiou. The only reason I went out with you was so that I could get back at you for slapping me back then. Don't think you're anything special to me."
Kumiko kept her emotions from exploding. She wanted to scream, cry, ask god why this was happening, but she did nothing. She just stood there looking at the man who gave her the happiest days of her life and let her experience possibly the biggest hurt she'd ever felt. Finally Kumiko spoke, with a forced smile, "Good job Seto. You had me completely fooled." She tried to hold her tears in but a stray tear got loose and fell down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away so she wouldn't show any weakness in front of Seto. "Well I guess I'll be leaving now. Good day Kaiba." She swiftly left the room and shut the doors.
Seto continued to sit there, alone, and in silence. He put his face in his hands, "I'm sorry Kumiko, but this is for your own good." He sighed
~~
Kumiko walked home slowly. Ice cold rain pelted from the dark clouds in the sky and soaked through Kumiko's clothing. As she walked so many thoughts rushed through her mind. Memories flooded, happy days, sad days, special memories, memories that should stay hidden. When she looked up she realized that she had not gone home but to the training hall.
She walked inside to find Francis pouring a cup of tea. When he turned and saw her he nearly dropped his cup, "Mon Dieu! What happened to you Kumiko? Have you been walking in this freezing rain? Get in here imediately and have some tea before you catch a cold." He said setting her on the couch and handing her a hot mug.
He got a towel and another cup. He handed her the towel before sitting into the lounge chair. "Now tell me, what happened?" he asked
"I want to go back to France."
"Sigh, if you do not wish to tell me then I will not force you to. I just hope you are not just using this opportunity as an escape for something much bigger."
"It doesn't matter anymore. Everything has been taken care of and there is nothing keeping me here in Japan anymore anyways. My heart has always been in France, I belong there."
"That is your decision to make Kumiko. How about I take you home so you can get a fresh clothing on before you get pneumonia eh?" he said
~~
The rain hit the windowpanes at Kaiba mansion. Seto sat in his bed thinking about the day's event. He knew he had hurt Kumiko deeply, 'Still I only did it in Kumiko's best interest. I did the right thing... didn't I?' he wondered
~~
Kumiko sat in her room looking out the window, watching the rain as it fell onto the glass. A long time ago this used to relax her, she would sit in a comfy chair with a hot cup of green tea while she read a good thick novel listening to the tapping of the rain. However today it just added to her irritation. She blamed herself, 'I should have seen it coming. Nothing comes without it's price, from this day on I owe him nothing.' She shut her luggage and lay down in her bed as she fell asleep to the rhythm of the rain.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again. ~~
Seto looked at the clock, 3 AM. In less then five hours, Kumiko would be on a plane to Paris. She would be leaving Domino thinking that he had betrayed her, although she wasn't too far from the truth. He had betrayed her, but only because he loved her. He wished it didn't have to be this way; unfortunately life never did like giving him a happy life. He sighed and got up from his chair. He had to go find something to do, distract him from his thoughts of Kumiko. He got into his car and drove out into the night.
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
The radio was playing "Rhythm of the rain" how ironic that this was exactly how we was feeling at the moment.
Rain, please tell me, now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again. ~~
Kumiko sat at the airport as she waited for Francis to show up. She was watching the news that was being broadcasted on the TV. "Tonight's top story, a car crashed into a tree this evening as the wheels slipped out of control on the slippery roads. The car is a blue Benz, and this just in, the car has been identified to belong to Mr. Seto Kaiba. He has just been admited into General Hospital and is currently in the emergency room where doctors are working hard to keep the rich millionaire alive."
Shock filled Kumiko's mind. 'I must have heard wrong. He may be a bastard but he would never be foolish enough to get into such a serious accident. Yes, I just heard wrong.' She told herself, 'But just how many people in Domino are rich millionaires?' said an irritating little voice in her head. She sighed, "I'm thinking too much," she told herslef. Just then Francis walked up.
"Kumiko Cherie, have you not heard of Seto's accident?" Kumiko nearly dropped her bags.
'It was him then' she thought but showed absolutely no emotion and said, "I just heard it on the news. How does it concern me?" She had promised herself never to cry another tear for Seto Kaiba.
"Cherie, I'm not sure what Seto did to you, but I know that you two once were very happy together. If you no longer love him you could at least go see him as a friend."
"He never loved me, he tricked me, there is no friendship between us."
"Kumiko, only you can truly decide whether Seto has ever loved you. Think of all the days that you two have been together, were those only simple illusions, or were they days of true happinness? Only you know Kumiko." He took out a ticket from his coat pocket, "Here Kumiko, the choice is yours, you can leave Domino and Seto Kaiba all behind, or you can still catch a cab to the hospital."
Kumiko's hand reached out for the ticket, but pulled back. "I can't leave him like this." And she ran towards the nearest exit. She quickly hailed a cab, "General Hospital and step on it." Her heart beat against her rib cage, 'Please be ok'
She suddenly noticed that the cab had stopped, "What's going on? Why did we stop?" she shouted at the cab driver.
"Sorry miss, but it's really bad traffic up there. Nothing's moving at all."
Kumiko swore, "How far from the hospital from here if I walked?"
"Walk?" he laughed, "Miss you are up for a long run, especially in this rainy weather."
"I don't have time for this." She handed the driver some money and got out of the cab. She used her purse as a shield from the unyielding rain.
Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so...
As she ran, thoughts of Seto flashed through her mind. The more she ran the less she felt angry at him. Salty tears mixed with the cold icy rain that stained Kumiko's face. Suddenly Kumiko tripped and fell onto the hard cement sidewalk. She felt a sharp pain in her knees and she saw that she had scratched them pretty badly since they were bleeding quite a bit. She got up ignoring the pain in her wounds and kept on running letting the cold rain numb her pain. 'Please wait for me Seto. Whatever happens you have to wait for me.'
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow.
~~
Mokuba sat in the waiting room. He occaisonally would get up and paced in front of the Emergency room, back and forth, back and forth. 'Will Seto be ok?' he wondered.
"Can you please tell me where Seto Kaiba is currently located please?" someone said.
Mokuba looked up to see a very wet looking Kumiko. "Miss your legs are really hurt. You should be seeing a doctor."
"I don't care about that right now!" she shouted, "Tell me where Seto is!"
Mokuba approached her and pulled on her jacket. Kumiko turned towards him and he said, "You're Kumiko aren't you? You're Seto's girlfriend. He's told me a lot about you."
"You're Mokuba." She smiled as he nodded, "Please tell me where your brother is." She begged
"They're still trying to see if they can save him." Then he suddenly hugged Kumiko and cried into her already soaked shirt, "I'm so scared, what if something happens to Seto? He's the only family I have."
Kumiko was a bit scared at Mokuba's reaction, but then she held him in tight embrace, and soothed him a bit, "Don't worry Mokuba. Your brother is a very strong man. Nothing will happen to him. He's been through much worse; this is nothing more then a little bump in his life. Before you know it he'll be out of that room better then ever."
"Thank you Kumiko. Now I know why Seto loves you so much. I get this warm feeling when you talk to me, even if your shirt is wet and cold." He laughed
The nurse handed Kumiko a towel and helped bandaged her legs. Kumiko sat next to Mokuba keeping him soothed until the results of Seto's operation came.
Just then the emegency light went off and a doctor emerged. Kumiko got up and headed towards him, "Doctor, how is Seto Kaiba?" she asked
"Who are you?"
"She's his girlfriend." Pipped Mokuba
"Mr. Kaiba is..."
~~
What a terrible place to leave it hanging....Hm now the fate of Seto Kaiba rests in my hand. I haven't really decided yet how this is going to end. Well we'll have to see how you guys do with the reviews :P
