A Song for Seto

Chapter 10: While you were Sleeping
O_O *starts running from surfergurl16* noo I'm too young to die! I updated!
Yay, end of 2nd term, meaning I can once again spend more time on my writing now that I don't have to spend night and day finishing off everything for school. _ All that paperwork has put me out of writing mode for a while...Sorry about leaving at that cliffhangar for so long.
As not to keep you from finding out what happens, I'll put all answers to review at the bottem. ~~
"Mr. Kaiba has succesfully passed the most critical moment of the surgery so he should be ok."
Kumiko and Mokuba let out a sigh of relief, "However," the doctor continued, "Mr Kaiba also suffered from severe shock to the brain from the accident. So hopefully Mr. Kaiba will awaken at the latest a week after the surgery. If he doesn't further tests will have to be taken to check up on Mr. Kaiba's health."
The little bubble of relief suddenly popped and left Kumiko and Mokuba with a sense of fear and dread. "Mr. Kaiba has been transferred to room 618 if you wish to see him."
~~
8 years passed,
Mokuba stood by Seto's bedside as he watched his brother's chest rise up and down. It had been eight whole years since the accident, and his brother had never shown signs of waking up. Mokuba had taken charge of Kaiba Corporation years ago when things had threatened to cause the company to be shut down.
"Big brother, I guess you're making up for all those years that you haven't taken a break eh? I just wished that you hadn't left everything in my hands so suddenly. I must admit it as been a very good learning experience for me but I'll never be able to handle it as well as you. You must be the strongest man I've ever known brother, three years ago the doctors said the chances of you waking up was very meager and that from the lack of activity you would soon die, but look, three years and you're still sleeping!" Tears fell from Mokuba's eyes. He was visibly very upset.
Kumiko walked in to see Mokuba shouting and ran to support the young teen. Kumiko now 26 years old had matured into a sophisticated woman. She had continued to practice her art in Domino, so she could visit Seto more often.
"Mokuba what's wrong?" Kumiko asked very worried about her good friend. Since Seto's accident, she had taken care of Mokuba like her own brother.
Mokuba sighed, "I'm sorry Kumiko. I guess I was just upset that over all thses years Seto still hasn't shown any sign of waking up." He walked over and punched his fist into the wall, "Damn it!"
Kumiko sat on the chair that Mokuba once occupied and looked at the man that she had loved so much. She took his hand in hers, "Seto, you have to wake up dear. We all miss you dearly, why won't you wake up? Don't you miss us?"
Suddenly, Kumiko felt movement; Seto's finger was twitching. "Oh my god! Mokuba! Come quick. Seto's hand is moving." She cried as she watched his eyes slowly flutter open.
Mokuba ran over to the other side of Seto's bed to look at the machine, the beeping was racing. Mokuba's eyes widened to the size of dinnerplates and ran out of the room screaming for a doctor to come quick.
The doctor came in and quickly checked up on Seto's current state. The nurse pushed Kumiko and Mokuba out the room forcing them to watch from the window.
~~
Half an hour later,
The doctor finally left the room. "Congratulations, Mr. Kaiba has awaken and seems to be in perfect health. Except Mr. Kaiba seems quite confused due to the fact that he has been asleep for so long. This is a good time for those close to him to help him through this time."
Mokuba thanked the doctor before entering, Seto was now sitting up, and was clearly very upset looking. He looked up and the creases in his forehead increased, "Mokuba? What happened to you? You look my age."
Mokuba chuckled and sat next to his brother. "I am your age. Well at least I am the age that you were when you had that accident."
"So you mean, I've been an a coma for about seven years?"
"Eight actually." Kumiko said entering the room.
Seto's eyes widened. "Kumiko..." he whispered, "I thought you went to France"
"Well when I heard you had the accident I came back. Only having to wait eight years to make sure you were ok."
"You should have gone." He said
"Perhaps, but that's in the past already. There are some things that we cannot change."
Silence passed through the room. Mokuba felt that it was time perhaps the two got their problems settled, "Hm... You know what I have some stuff I left at the office, so I won't bother you two. Have fun chatting." He said and left the room.
"Have a seat won't you?" Seto suggested
Kumiko took the seat Mokuba had occupied. "So what's it like waking up from a eight year coma?" she said trying to change the topic from their past
"Like working on one of my newest computer programs. It's like my bones haven't been streched in days."
Kumiko stayed silent for a minute, "I was wondering," she hesitated, "As far as I know Seto, you are a very good driver, and I've seen you drive in worser weather then the one eight years ago."
Seto sighed, "I might as well tell you. Eight years ago, I was driving having a lot on my mind. Truth was, I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted you to achieve your dream, become what you sacrificed so much for. I didn't want to be the reason that you gave up your dream."
Kumiko was speechless. She simply sat there looking blankly at Seto before saying, "I see..."
"I'm not hoping that we can get back together, I just wish you could find it in your heart to perhaps forgive me."
"Seto, I will admit, if you told me this eight years ago I would have slapped you. Because of your stupidity you made both of us suffer hurt and sadness. However I think spending eight years in a coma is bad enough. I will forgive you." She said and hugged him, "You'll always be my bestest friend Seto."
Seto tensed at the word "Friend". 'Well at least it's better then her hating me. I'll win her back some day.'
~~
That evening, Kumiko sat in her bed as she read her novel. The phone next to the bed rang. 'Who could possibly be ringing this late?' she thought as she picked up. "Hello?"
"Hello Kumiko?" Said the voice, "It's me Mokuba, sorry to call so late."
"That's ok. What's up Mokuba?" she asked
"I went to see Seto today. Did he really tell you about why he pushed you away eight years ago?"
"Yes he did."
"And you guys are back together? Didn't you tell him about..."
"I couldn't tell him Mokuba. The man just woke up from an eight year coma for goodness sake."
"You will have to tell him eventually."
"I know." She answered, "Don't worry Mokuba, I will tell him. Just not now."
"I hope you know what you're doing Kumiko."
"I hope so too."
~~
Seto got out of the hospital a week later. On his way home, he constantly looked out the window of the limo. Finally Mokuba couldn't resist and asked, "What are you doing Seto?"
"So much has changed since I've been asleep. Since when did we have an arcade there?"
"Seto...that's been open for ten years. You've just been too busy typing away in the limo to notice it."
"Oh..." he said as he settled back into his seat, "This accident has made me understand something Mokuba. Life is very fleeting. Everyday could be your last. When I was in the accident and I went unconcious, I never thought I would wake up again. That is until I heard Kumiko call out to me. Then I knew I had to wake up."
"Seto," Mokuba started, "Do you still think there's a chance of you getting back with Kumiko?"
"I know she's still upset now, but I will win her heart back." Seto said filled with determination
Mokuba finally understood what Kumiko said when she had told him that it was impossible to tell Seto. "Good luck big brother."
~~
Seto sat at home, for once in his life, he didn't need to worry about Kaiba Corporation, after all Mokuba had taken care of it for so many years. He found this new lifestyle hard to adapt. After all, he was used to being busy around the clock, since when did he start having time to flip through all 600 channels while drinking a cup of coffee only to find nothing on.
Since there was nothing else Seto could do, he decided to go back to his computer room. He walked in and turned it on, "Well well! Look what the cat dragged in. I haven't seen you in years hon! And I mean that litterally." Said the computerized voice
"Well hard to use the computer when one is in the hospital in a coma for eight years." He replied
"Good to have you back boss!" the computer said, "So where to?"
"Hmm.." he thought as he swivelled in his leather chair. That was when his eye caught sight of a little black book. "I don't remember having an address book like this." He said
"That would be Mokuba's wouldn't it?" said the computer
"So it is..." he said flipping through it, 'I wonder...' he thought as he looked up the K's
"Kaiou, hmm..She moved from the appartment I bought her. Here we go, 198 Westland Terrace." He smirked and left the computer room for Westland Terrace.
~~
Seto stood in front of the door of the address that he had found. 'Now, time to knock on the door.' He thought as he raised his hand, but he hesitated ' what if she's not home? Won't know if I don't try now will I?' So inhaling a huge gulp of air he knocked three times on the door.
The door opened and there stood Kumiko. Her eyes widened when she saw who was standing at her front door. "What are you doing here?" she hissed
"I came to see you of course. I know I hurt you eight years ago, but I want to make it up to you."
"Look you don't need to. Seriously. Look you really need to leave."
"Aren't you even going to invite me in?" Seto said a bit hurt by Kumiko's bluntness.
Kumiko saw his hurt expression, "This is just a really bad time, I'll..."
"Kumiko who's at the door?" a male voice came from up the stairs
Seto's eyes narrowed, "Who's that?"
A male figure came down the stairs, clad in a towel, "You!" Seto exclaimed
~~
Hmm..what's Kumiko's big secret? What can't she tell Seto? Only I know! Well my friend knows too because I've been discussing it with her. Oh well. Anyways, review so you can find out what happens next. Thanks to all the people who reviewed to last chapter. It's nice to know that someone is actually reading.
Sigh I love cliffhangar ^^, I don't torture you Alessa, torture is just fun for me in general :D Must be the people I've been hanging around
Thanks to both Alexander Cai and Alex, *blushes* your reviews are really flattering, although I'm still an amateur writer. All my ideas come from constant daydreaming _ tells you how much I pay attention to my classes.
Lenne, Thanks for reviewing ^^
