A Song for Seto
Disclaimer: I don't own yugioh
Well this has been one of my worser writer's block..been what..half a year now?
Sorry it's just that I lost inspiration for so long that I sorta just gave up on the story.
Thanks Sakura for helping me get writing again.
I actually base my chap titles on whatever song inspired the chapter so if you want u can try it...this one was bad timing, by Blue Rodeo...which doesn't belong to me ;p puts that with the disclaimer
Chapter 13: Bad timing... that's all
Kumiko sat on her beautiful blue living chair. She watched the rain as it fell on her large picture window as she sipped on her tea. Kumiko had always loved to watch the rain, the beat always soothed her problems away. It also brought back certain memories...
Flashback
Two soaked figures ran, seeking shelter under the awning of a store.
"I told you it would rain. Next time we listen to the computer." Said the taller of the two
The other simply glared at him before pulling him into a deep embrace and kissing him on the lips. "What was that for?" he asked as he pulled away
Kumiko who was still hanging on Seto giggled and said, "You look cute with your hair wet like that."
"Fine, next time we don't listen to the computer." And they both laughed
End Flashback
At this point in her life, Kumiko didn't know whether the memory was happy or a painful memory. When she thought of it she would smile, but her heart seemed to be tied into a knot and her conscience scolded her telling her it was wrong and she was engaged.
'If it's wrong, then why do I love that memory so much?' she thought. It was one of her happier days with Seto. She loved to think of the stuckup CEO that she had fallen in love with and later given up.
'Who do I love? If I loved Seto, why would I have gone with Marik? If I love Marik, then why do I constantly think of Seto?' She growled in frustration.
"Something wrong Kumiko?" Marik said as he walked in and sat next to her on the couch. He pulled her into his lap and put his head on her shoulder.
She smiled meekly, "It's nothing." She said looking back out the window once again drowning in her thoughts. Suddenly she got up, "I'm going out."
"In this weather?" he asked "You'll catch a cold."
"I'll be fine." She said and left without another word.
She didn't know where she wanted to go. She just wanted to find someone who could tell her what she was supposed to do. She felt so confused, the emotions pulling her apart. Then she stopped to see where she had gone. She closed her eyes as she let the rain wash her cares away. Although the rain was icy cold, the feeling numbed the pain that she felt.
Suddenly there wasn't any rain. Kumiko opened her eyes to see an umbrella covering her. She looked over to see the owner...
Mokuba ran into the gameshop where the rest of the yu-gi-oh gang was seeking sanctuary from the rain.
"Hey Mokuba!" said Tea, ever as cheerful.
"Have you guys seen my big brother?" Mokuba said frantically
"Moneybags? I thought he went away...as in far away." Joey said, frowning at the thought of Seto being back in Domino.
"Well he said he was coming back for a while, but the people I sent to pick him up said he just grabbed an umbrella and left them with his luggage." He said "They have no idea where he went."
"Don't worry Mokuba we'll help you find Seto. I'm sure he's in town somewhere." Yugi said
"Thanks guys!" Mokuba said and ran back into the rain to go find his brother.
"Why does Moneybags always have to ruin my day?" Joey grumbled as he pulled on a jacket.
"Seto..." Kumiko whispered, she could feel the tears well up in her eyes, yet she refused to let them fall. "How did you know I was here?" she said wiping her eyes pretending to clean up the rain from her face.
"I just knew." He said, his face showed no emotion, but his eyes showed hurt. "Why Kumiko?"
"Why what Seto?" she laughed as she turned away from him.
"You hurt as much as I do, yet you turn your back on our relationship. Why Kumiko?"
"I didn't. You're the one that turned your back. I tried to keep the flame alive, but you didn't turn around till it went out. Then you decide to light it back, picking the undead embers, and now you burn me with that flame." She ended shouting at Seto with a teary face.
Seto pulled Kumiko into a hug throwing his umbrella into the rain. They stood like that for what seemed like forever, neither one moving. "Why Seto? Why do you keep doing this to me? You make me so angry, and you also make me so happy. Why do I love you?"
The last sentence broke Seto's last fears, and he pulled Kumiko into a deep kiss.
Marik sat at their apartment, he couldn't figure out what had gone wrong with his and Kumiko's relationship. He decided he would seek help from someone older and wiser. Marik picked up the phone and dialed, "Hello Ishizu?"
"Marik? This is odd, I had not expected that you would call."
"Nice to speak to you too sister, besides you really haven't been able to fortell things since you gave away the necklace."
"What is troubling you brother?"
The two stood under the awning, "It's been so long since we were last here." Kumiko said as she held onto Seto.
Seto didn't reply, he simply nuzzled deeper into Kumiko's long brown hair. "I've missed you so much."
"I don't know Ishizu. She's been rather distant since...since Seto came back."
"Could she still love Seto?"
"I don't know Ishizu. I really don't know." He sighed into the phone. "I wish I knew what I could do to make her smile again."
"Have you asked her?"
"She always says it's nothing, but I can tell, she's lost the happy spirit she has in her eyes. I just want her to be happy."
"Seto?" Seto grunted showing that he was listening. "When did you get back?"
"Just now." He said
"Won't anyone be looking for you? Are you sure Mokuba knows where you are?"
"They won't think to look for us here. They'll be fine don't worry."
"Seto..."
"What is it?"
"We should get back. I don't want the others to worry. Besides I think Marik deserves an explanation."
Seto sighed, "I guess. You want me to go with you?"
Kumiko smiled when her phone began to vibrate in her pocket. She apologized to Seto, "Hello?"
"Kumiko? Where are you? Something happened to your apartment! Someone on your floor had an explosion and now the entire thing is up in flames." Ishizu screamed
"What? How do you know?" she asked frantically
"I was on the phone with him for one minute and then the next I heard an explosion and the line was cut after that. I just went to your apartment to check and that's when I saw the fire trucks." Kumiko could hear the obvious distress in Ishizu's voice, she was really upset and then it occurred to her
"Wait, what about Marik? Is he ok?"
Ishizu was crying so hard it was really hard to hear what she was saying. "They got him out, but he's really injured. He's in the Emergency room right now and the doctors are doing all they can. Kumiko you have to come right away!"
"I'm on my way." Kumiko shut her phone and looked at Seto. "Marik's in the hospital. We have to go there right now." She said fear all over her face
"I understand. Let's go." The two hailed a cab and were on their way.
