Chapter 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaiba sat in the limo silently. Sakura's choice had effected him greatly. Why couldn't she have told me first? Why would she think that I don't want her? What did I do to make her think that way? Kaiba stared out the window. The sun was setting, coloring the skies in pink and purple hues. To any normal human being it'd be breathtaking but to Kaiba right now, it was only signifying his love going away. When the limo finally stopped, Kaiba stepped out into the crisp night air. He walked briskly towards the mansion. Two men in black suits waited outside the door.
"Are you Mr.Kaiba?" Asked one of the men. Kaiba scoffed.
"Who wants to know?" Kaiba was already irritated as is but being ambushed by some unknown men on his own property pissed him off greatly. The taller of the two men pulled out a packet of papers and handed it to Kaiba.
"You now have custody of Hiro Amaki." Kaiba growled.
"It's Hiro Kaiba you bastards. Now get off my property or else I'll have you both hauled off by security." The men remained expressionless and left. Kaiba opened the door and was immediately greeted by a bewildered Mokuba.
"Seto! Why is there some kid in the livingroom? And what was with those men? They wouldn't leave and I was about to send security out there until I spotted your limo!" Kaiba raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Mokuba asked innocently and shrugged.
"Those men where Child Protection Services if my guess is correct.Also, that kid you were blabbering about is my son which is also known as your nephew." Kaiba said simply like it was known to the whole world but Mokuba. Mokuba's eyes widened.
"What?! When did this happen?! Who's the mother?! Tell me!!" Mokuba demanded. Kaiba smirked.
"His mother is none other but Sakura Motou. I'm sure you know who she is. She was pregnant before she left us for America and failed toinform me." Mokuba gasped in surprise.
"WHAT?! Poor Sakura.... Why did you do that?! I thought you were old enough to know how to go protected!!" Kaiba had a very light blush across his features against his will. He clenched and unclenched his fists in embarrassment. Him, the great CEO of Kaiba Corp., embarrassed that his own brother is scolding him about protected sex! The press would have a field day if that fact leaked out.
"Mokuba! Be quiet!" Kaiba tried to sound stern but only earned an evil glint in his brother's eye. Mokuba giggled and began to poke Kaiba continously.
"I see I've hit a soft spot... Did you enjoy it?" Mokuba laughed as he quickly bounded out of sight to escape his brother's wrath. Kaiba groaned and hid his face within his hand while walking towards the living room.
"Seto? What's going on?" Kaiba looked through his fingers down at little Hiro who was obviously confused. Kaiba sighed and kneeled down next to Hiro.
"What do you mean?" Kaiba said evenly. Hiro trembled.
"I thought I was living with daddy. Why am I here? Where's mommy?" Hiro clutched the stuffed Kuriboh that Kaiba had handed him earlier. Kaiba smiled slightly at the small child. It was best not to frighten him any further.
"Your mom is at home and I'm your real dad, not Yoshio. Do you understand?" Hiro sniffled and clutched the Kuriboh tighter.
"Then what is Yoshio if he's not my daddy?" Hiro asked innocently. Kaiba sighed tiredly.
"Your enemy." He replied cooly. So much for trying not to frighten the poor kid. Hiro's eyes widened.
"Then why did Yoshio say mommy is working for him? That would mean he's her boss and a nice man, not an enemy, right?" Kaiba was silent. I should've known she'd leave something out of her explanation. Kaiba stood up stiffly.
"Hiro, are you tired? Do you want to go to bed?" Hiro yawned and nodded. Kaiba took his small hand within his own and led him towards a room next to Mokuba's. Hiro plopped down tiredly on the bed. Somehow, Kaiba knew that if he hadn't been tired, Hiro would've cried his eyes out. Crying kid plus lots of annoying noise and the events from earlier equals a very pissed off Kaiba. He frowned at the thought. How he hated when kids cried. Kaiba then turned to leave.
"Seto? I'm scared of the dark. Can you stay with me?" Kaiba sighed and sat in a chair next to the bed. Damn, I was so close to the door. Hiro smiled happily as he closed his eyes.
"Thank you... Daddy..." Hiro then fell asleep. Kaiba was silent. Maybe it was good that he stayed. Mokuba checked in hours later to find Kaiba alseep in the chair and Hiro along with him on the bed. He smiled and creeped into the room.
"I already know your here Mokuba." Kaiba said making Mokuba jump in surprise. Kaiba opened his eyes to look at his little brother.
"There's no foolin you, huh big brother? So how's the little guy?" Mokuba then sat on a chair next to Kaiba. Kaiba only smirked.
"Sleeping obviously." Mokuba chuckled.
"You know, it's so different to see you like this. Does a woman and a child change every man this much?" Mokuba said absently, voicing his thoughts. Kaiba's expression was blank.
"Have I changed that much?" Kaiba finally said. Mokuba smiled.
"Yes, but it's for the better now." All was silent as they gazed down on the sleeping boy.
"You are mine now! Why do you continue to deny the truth?!" Yoshio sat on his leather chair glaring at Sakura who lay beaten on the floor before him.
"I am owned by no one but my own." Whispered Sakura. Yoshio chuckled.
"Yes, keep saying that. The more spirit you show, the more you'll break." Sakura only shuddered at his words. They only voiced the truth, the memories from last night still fresh within Sakura's mind.
---Flashback---
Sakura waved good-bye to Jounouchi and Honda in the distance. She sighed and started to close up shop. Cars whizzed by and lights started to flicker on as the sun began to set. She finally locked everything and leaned against the door.
"You'll come with us now. Yoshio demands it." Sakura jumped at the sound of the voice. A group of black suited men surrounded her. Sakura laughed nervously.
"I should be used to this by now... I won't be going anywhere with you. He does not order me around." Sakura tensed as one man stepped foward.
"He does now. If you do not comply then we will have to........Force you." Sakura clenched her fists.
"I won't go!" She yelled out. Before she could yell out more, one man stepped foward and knocked her out cold.
"So, your awake now." Sakura grumbled as she opened her eyes. Yoshio sat on the bed that she now lay in. Sakura quickly sat up.
"What is this?! Why do you force me here?!" Yoshio chuckled.
"I own you." Sakura tried to get out of the bed but Yoshio held her down.
"Let go of me." Sakura hissed out threateningly. Yoshio smiled and swatted her across the face. Sakura's head swam with dizziness.
"No one talks back to me. I'll teach you a leason that you should do well not to forget." Yoshio smiled a strange smile. Sakura could only take the pain that Yoshio took pleasure in inflicting. Her loud cries increasing as the night went on.
---End Flashback---
Sakura whimpered as Yoshio stood up and towered over her. He sneered and stomped on her hand.
"I made you what you are. You are a killer! A murderer! You won't leave behind what I've hired you to do!" Yoshio lifted up his foot from Sakura's crushed hand. She clenched her jaw and silent tears ran down her face.
"I am not a killer or a murderer." Sakura said through clenched teeth. Yoshio kicked her to the side of the room, slamming her back against it. She cried out on impact but made no move to get up. Yoshio sneered once more.
"I loved you. I loved you more than anyone would but you left me and traveled to Japan! To betray more than what you already have, you come back pregnant!" Sakura cast her eyes down.
"I never felt anything for you, ever." Sakura said quietly. Yoshio threw Sakura up against the wall and held her in place by her shirt front.
"What?! You love that man of yours?! You think he loves you?! Well guess what Sakura, he doesn't!! He'll never love you! All he'll ever want from you is a good fuck and that bastard child of yours!!" Sakura went rigid at his words but remained mute. Yoshio sighed and let her drop to her knees.
"Clean yourself up. I'll see you later." Yoshio then turned and left. Sakura just stared at the floor. No, I won't believe him. He couldn't... He wouldn't.... Would he?
Jounouchi yawned and leaned onto the counter of the Kame Game Shop. Honda just sat in a chair next to him reading a gaming magazine. Anzu was sitting on the counter thinking to herself silently.
"Sorry guys, Yami was just fussing." Yugi said as he walked downstairs to meet with the group. Anzu looked up and smiled but didn't say much else. Jounouchi and Honda clapped eachother on the back.
"No prob Yug! Where do you all want to go today? Sakura wasn't at her arcade so I figured it's closed today and me and Honda ere' don't work. Neither does Anzu." Anzu just looked expectently at Yugi's face who looked confused.
"That's weird. I know for a fact she'd have come here if she closed it today. Maybe she has something else to do." His thoughts trailed off.
"Hikari! Were is the buckles I just bought?!" Yami yelled from upstairs. Yugi chuckled.
"Hold on guys, I'll be right back." Yugi then ran upstairs. Anzu sighed and jumped down from the counter.
"Hey Anzu, were are you going?" Honda asked. Anzu looked at him over her shoulder and slightly smiled.
"No where. I'm going to go off alone right now. I'll meet you guys over at Kaiba Land later?" That's strange, she doesn't sound all too happy. Honda shook off the thought and smiled.
"Alright, see ya there in a few hours then!" Anzu left and immediately was seized with saddness.
"Why am I so jelous? I know I can't have him so stop complaining. At least he's happy..." Anzu sighed and looked up at the sky as she walked.
"Why can't I be more like Sakura? At least then I'd be more desireable." Anzu groaned and walked with downcast eyes.
"ANZU!!! Wait up!" Anzu looked up in surprise to hear Yami. She turned around slowly. Yami stood before her with a worried expression.
"Hey, Yami. What's up?" Yami looked confused, it was cute. NO! Don't think like that! You can't have him!
"Anzu, are you ok? You've been acting weird lately. I hope it's not cuase of this morning." Anzu looked down sadly, hiding her eyes from him.
"I'm fine, it's not important." She closed her eyes to fight against the tears. Anzu jumped slightly when Yami laid a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"Anzu, I know your lying. It's hard to believe you when you have such a sad look to you." Anzu pushed away his hand, which surprised Yami greatly.
"Yami, I..... Nevermind, it won't help with anything." She was about to walk away but Yami grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back.
"Wait, tell me. It must be important for you to be moping around like this. Just tell me." Anzu pulled out of his grasp with tears runnning freely down her face. Yami gasped at the sight. He actually looked conserned for her. Her!
"Why are you so dense?!! I love you! I always have!" Anzu yelled out. No, he may not love me but this hurts. It really does. Yami was surprised. He stood there in shock. Anzu stiffened. Now he knows. I can't stay for another rejection. She ran off leaving Yami behind. He looked on after her retreating form.
"I never knew." Yami said to himself silently. He sighed and walked back to the group. The image of her with tears made his heart pang.
"Do I love her too?" He asked himself quietly. Everyone waited till he got back to the Kame Game Shop.
"Hey, Yami! What took ya so long man?" Jounouchi asked. Yami looked up and smiled.
"Nothing. Where are we going now guys?" Yugi smiled happily.
"We're going to Kaiba Corp. to pick up Mokuba. He wants to hang out with us anyways." Yami smirked.
"Then I guess we should get going." They all laughed, sharing stories of old times as they walked towards Kaiba Corp. The skies were bright and the air warm and translucent. Theforecast of a perfect day. They never thought of the troubles just waiting to come.
Kaiba paced the room, grumbling and shaking his head. Mokuba and Hiro sat on the couch watching him.
"Seto?" Mokuba asked but Kaiba kept pacing. Mokuba sighed in defeat. He wasn't going to listen.
"Daddy?" Hiro suddenly piped up after seeing the defeat in Mokuba's eyes. Kaiba immediately stopped.
"I want to see mommy." Kaiba's head perked up as an idea formed in his head.
"Let's go. Mokuba, did you want to come?" Mokuba smiled.
"Of course! I haven't seen Sakura in a long time! I'll just tell Yugi and his friends I'm going to see her instead. I'm sure they'll understand." Mokuba picked Hiro on his back as they began to descend the building for Amaki Enterprises. They had just got off the elevator when Yugi, Yami, Jounouchi and Honda walked up to them.
"Hey Mokuba, we're here. What's up?" Yugi said happily. Mokuba smiled.
"Hello Uncles! We're going to see mommy!" Hiro shouted gleefully, the excitement shining in his eyes. Yugi and Yami was taken aback.
"Really? Tell her I said hi! I want to see her but I never can get ahold of her and we already have to meet Anzu at Kaiba Land so we can't join you." Yugi said kindly. Mokuba smiled.
"I know. Kaiba seems to know what's going on though. It seems she's not doing so well if she's not here." His tone was serious but he kept his smile plastered on his face.
"If you can, try to convince Sakura to stop by at the shop sometime." Yami said evenly. His expression was unreadable and made the atmosphere uneasy.
"Mokuba, if your done lagging, we have to go now." Kaiba said coldly. Mokuba chuckled.
"Ok, bye guys! Sorry I couldn't go with you guys afterall. Bye!" Mokuba hurried off towards the blue mustang Kaiba now waited in.
"I'm sorry sir but she doesn't want any visitors." The old secretary said for the fifth time. Kaiba was starting to get annoyed. This is a long shot but it should work.
"This is her own son and I'm her fiance! Let us through woman! Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?!" Kaiba shouted. The woman sighed.
"Sir, she is not allowed to see you or her son. Please step back or I am forced to call security." The woman said calmly even if her nerves were wracked with fright. Kaiba growled as Mokuba stepped up to the counter.
"I am Mokuba Kaiba and I'm here to see Sakura." Mokuba said in a business fashion. The secretary was confused.
"Well, Yoshio said nothing about you.... I think it's alright. Step right this way please." The secretary smiled nervously. Mokuba smiled up at his brother triamphuntly who's expression was full of astonishment.
"Wait for me in the lobby. I'll tell you how she's doing." Mokuba then followed the elderly woman down winding halls and different doors without waiting for a reply from Kaiba.
