Distant Brothers
Chapter 3: Unbelievable News
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
I finally got around to updating ^^ Really, I kinda never think a chapter I write is ready, so that is why I don't post it till I think it is ready. But, if I really did wait till I thought it was ready, I would have never posted a single chapter! I try my best at writing, so I think that is all that counts :)
Thank you all for reviewing my fic! I'm glad you all like my story ^_^ some of you had asked some questions in your reviews, so I am going to answer the ones I can answer without spoiling the story;
Leah: Mokuba was just too depressed to think about Kenji at the time. At times when someone is depressed, they can forget about who cares most about them.
Moki: In this fic, Mokuba does not know Yuugi or his friends. If Mokuba did know Yuugi, most likely I would have Mokuba go to Yuugi for help. I want this fic to have Mokuba dealing with everything on his own.
If I missed a question that anyone has, please ask it again!
**********************
"Brother?" The young Mokuba searched for his only brother around the house.
He crossed his arms. "Hmm...Brother must have left early for work. Oh well, I gotta go to school now."
No matter what Seto had done to Mokuba, the younger Kaiba brother would always forgive him for whatever he did. Still, even know he forgave him, it didn't mean he would forget the pain he had caused.
After slipping on his shoes, he walked out the door smiling. Mokuba couldn't wait to see his friend, Kenji; Mokuba enjoyed his company so much.
"Master Kaiba, your limo awaits you." One of the limo drivers greeted him outside.
"Alright... but could you drive me half way to the school? I'm in a very happy mood and I'd like to walk a bit."
"As you wish, master Kaiba."
******************************
"You can drop me off here." Once the limo stopped Mokuba stepped out of the car with his backpack and hurried off.
As soon as Mokuba was at a good distance from the limo, he started to walk at a normal pace.
Usually Mokuba hated to walk. Whenever he was in emotional pain, he never had the energy to walk or do anything at all. Yet, today, the younger Kaiba brother was in happy mood—a mood he hadn't been in for a long time.
"I wonder if Kenji was able to get a hold of a copy of the new game." He grinned. "I bet he did. He always is able to get a hold of new games."
**************************
"Remember everyone, tomorrow is the big test. If you fail that test, you fail the class." The teacher explained. The whole class groaned, except for Mokuba. Mokuba was staring at Kenji's desk. Kenji wasn't there.
"Let's see, is everyone here?" Ms. Kana asked.
"Yes." The whole class, excluding Mokuba, spoke.
"No! Kenji isn't here!" One boy pointed to Kenji's seat.
"Yeah!" Another boy said aloud.
"Hmm..." She marked down Kenji as 'absent.'
"Kenji...Where are you?" Lightly pulling on his strands of hair from being upset, Mokuba looked out the window to see if he would come at any moment.
"I guess he still must be in line getting the game." The Kaiba smiled.
'That game is so cool...I can't wait to play it....Kenji told me it's the best RPG game made!' Mokuba snickered. 'I can't wait to play!'
"Mokuba..."
"Yes!" He snapped out of day dreaming to respond.
"Answer the question."
"Uhhh....The answer...to the question...is...um..."
"Don't tell me you weren't paying attention."
"Of course I was Ms. Kana."
"Then answer the question."
A tall man dressed in black stepped into the classroom and motioned the teacher to step outside with him. His eyes looked tired and broken, like he had been through hell.
"Excuse me class, I'll be right back." As she finished her sentence, Ms. Kana had left the room.
"Saved." Mokuba gave a relieved sighed.
*********************************
After awhile, Ms. Kana returned to the classroom. The tall man did not come in, so it could be assumed that he had left. As soon as the thought of the mysterious man left Mokuba's mind, he saw something different about his teacher. Usually, Ms. Kana always had a calm face expression, and she would always smile. Yet, her smile was gone. She had left the room looking happy, and came back looking like a zombie. Her hair was out of place, it looked like she fought a lion to come back to where she stood. Once finished looking at her ruined hair, Mokuba glanced at her face, it was red and seemed very dry. Something was wrong.
"Everyone...I have some news to tell you all...."
All the children were very eager to hear what she had to say, so they shut their mouths and didn't move. Very curious about what was about to be said, Mokuba did the same instead of drawing random pictures on his paper like he always did whenever there was an announcement.
".....Kenji died this morning...A car hit him while he was on his way to school..." She finished with tears falling down from her eyes.
Mokuba froze in shock. This news seemed unreal, like it was just a bad nightmare he would wake up from any minute. But no, his life was a nightmare, and he couldn't ever get away from it, ever. Everything started to look blurry, Mokuba couldn't tell if it was because of the tears, or because he was about to faint from the shocking news.
"This can't be real...Kenji...You can't just....Die...You can't..." He let his head fall down on his desk slowly.
No matter how hard he tried to convince himself that life was worth living whenever something bad happened, even if he was hurt every now and then, this changed it all. Losing so many things all his life, this was something he couldn't stay calm about.
**************************
"You seem quiet, is anything wrong?" The older Kaiba took a bite out of his food.
"No...Nothing is wrong." Mokuba sat at the dinner table looking lifeless.
"You haven't touched anything on your plate ever since you sat down, Mokuba."
"I'm not hungry, that's all." The long-haired Kaiba forced a small smile.
"Liar. Tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing, nothing at all." Mokuba shoved two large amounts of rice into his mouth. "See?"
"Stop bull shitting me!" Seto threw his fork on to the table.
"I'm not." The black haired Kaiba sniffed.
"Fine!" He lowered his tone. "Don't tell me your hungry later tonight then." Seto finished his drink.
****************************
"Mokuba, I know you have a big test tomorrow, are you studying right now?" yelled Seto from down the hall.
"Yes brother." The broken Kaiba responded.
"Good."
He had lied to his brother. Mokuba wasn't really studying, the youth just sat at his desk doing nothing but staring at his text book. One thing distracted him from his studies, and everything around him; thinking about his deceased friend, Kenji.
"Kenji."
