Chapter 9
-Kura-
She woke up and rolled over. Her hands sleepily searching for the clock. She grabbed it and brought it to her face. 11:00a.m. She had slept that long. Thank goodness it was the weekend, everyone could sleep soundly without a worry. But Kura couldn't do that. She already had 2 people she was worried about. Kari and Mokuba.
She got up and rubbed her eyes, listening for a sound. Nothing. She iched her ears and felt something in them. It was cotton. Spulled it out and looked at it. It was HiKari's cotton that she used to wash off her nail polish. She had done that so she could get some sleep?
She walked out of her room, she heard laughing. She walked to the railing and looked down into the living room. "HEY! STOP!" Mokuba said through laughs, Kari was tickling him to death. "Nope!" Kari said happily as she tickled him more. Mokuba's became harder. Kura smiled and walked down the stairs.
Kari stopped and looked up. So did Mokuba. She just gave them a warm smile. "Hey guys, I'm sorry about how I acted yesterday. I was a real jerk." Still they sat there, staring at her. She frowned and looked down. "And I'm really sorry, can you ever forgive me?" She heard nothing and turned around. She then felt two sets of arms wrapped around her. She turned around.
"Wait, you guys forgive me?" They both smiled, "Everytime" Kura smiled, and wrapped her arms around both of them, "Thanks you guys, you're the best!"
-Seto-
Back in the battle field… Seto hated it. He couldn't believe he actually agreed to going back. He just couldn't face it, such bad memories coming back. Seto stopped shooting and felt his head. Everything was beginning to blurr, and there was two of everything. Josh stopped as well and turned to Seto. "Hey Kaiba, you ok?"
"Uh…" Seto moaned. "Ok, you just stay down" Josh said, trying to push Seto behind a rock and trying to pry his gun out of his hands. Seto still gripped the rock, and didn't let go of his gun. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a Chinese enemy aiming at Josh. He quickly pushed Josh down and aimed his gun towards the Chinese enemy. But his vision was doubled again.
His head began to hurt, but he saw the double hold up his gun and aim at him. But He didn't know which to shoot. Suddenly he was thrown back and pain surged through-out his chest. Josh was quickly by his side. "Hold on Seto, I'll get the commander."
Josh left to go get the commander, leaving Seto helplessly on the ground. Other soldiers ran and stood around staring at Seto as he helplessly lay there. They snickered, they cried, they stared in amusement. So many emotions, just staring at him.
Welcome to existence
Welcome to the planet
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody's waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
He could just lay there, while everyone was watching him. It was as if they were waiting, to see what he would do next. But all he do was lay there, thinking. Thinking about how he had completely failed his brother. He had promised to come back ok for his brother, and he had failed him. He had failed his brother. He had promised him.
Seto closed hos yes, hoping the end would come quicker as he emerged into the depths of his own mind. Seto walked through the darkness of his mind, maybe he could find something worth looking at before he had no other chance too. 'Seto!' Seto turned. It was Mokuba.
'What are you doing?' Mokuba asked. Seto looked down, 'I've failed you Mokuba, I can't face you again.'
'What are you talking about? You haven't failed me' Mokuba stated. Seto sighed, but he looked up and smiled at his brother. He walked over to him and ruffled his hair, 'Mokuba, you think I'm your hero, but I'm not. I was never the brother you thought me to. And I'm sorry. Now I'm just gonna have to die.'
Mokuba pushed off Seto's hand, 'Look Seto, I don't know about you, but the real me doesn't care what your are, because you will always be the brother I thought you to be, that is, if you don't give up so easily.' Seto looked up, 'What do you mean?'
'I dare you to move. I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor, like today never happened.'
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Seto opened his eyes, his brother's words echoing through his mind. He looked up, all the people whp were there were gone. Was it all in his head? Josh reappeared right by him. "Don't worry Kaiba, I got the commander, just let me help you to safety." He hled out a hand for Seto to hold onto. Like he did when his brother was down.
He angrily slapped it away. "No" he said. Josh was surprised, "Why? You need medical help."
"I don't care!"
"Don't do this, Kaiba, this is where you find out who you are, and who you could be. How it is, and how it should be. Well, how is it Kaiba? Are you going to fail Mokuba again like you have all these years?" Kaiba looked up. He placed his hand on his chest to where it hurt the most, his hand red with blood.
Did he really wan to fail his brother again? Allt hose times he had yelled at Mokuba when he had come pleading to him for help when he was working. How really was it fro Mokuba now? Now that his brother is gone, and maybe he could care less? Mokyba probably thought that. He missed his brother, he could feel it.
But wouldn't he be mad if Seto couldn't come back. Back to the ones he truly loved and cared about?
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistence
The tension right here
The tension right here
Between who you are, and who you could be
Between how it is, and how it should be
Suddenly the commander appeared and the general. "What's wrong Stanton?" he asked. "It's Seto Kaiba, sir, he refuses to get to safety and help." Commander Narwin stared down on Seto, puzzled by he would ever want to just die. Feeling guilty now for how he had treated him, he turned to Josh. "Does he have any loved ones?"
"Only one that I've heard about sir, his little brother." Commander Narwin nodded and knelt down next to Seto. "Alright kid, is that it? You just gonna die now?" Seto didn't answer, his breaths began to get smaller, and harder to do. "Quickly, we have to get him to the emergency room" Josh said.
"Alright kid, if your as strong as everyone thought you to be when you first got here, you would get up right now, for the sake of your brother. I dare you to move soldier, I dare you to lift your yourself up off the floor!" Commander Narwin commanded. Seto's eyes widened. Mokuba had dared him to do that.
Seto looked up at Josh and held up his hand, "Help…" he gasped. Josh nodded and quickly grabbed Seto. "Come on, hurry!" Josh cried. His eyes closed, his mind sleeping off into it's own place.
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Like today never happened
Like today never happened before
Seto stood in the middle of his mind, memories of Mokuba and himself passing by him. "You're the best big brother ever!" Mokuba chirped that one day Seto had made it to his first award seromony. He had said it was the happiest moment of his life and was glade he could make it. "I was alone, but I never stopped thinking about you big brother" Mokuba said, when they had reunited after Duelist Kingdom.
"Seto!" Mokuba cried happily and he had ran up and hugged him after reappearing by the power of the Mystic Elf Adina. Memories of just him walking by his side in Battle City brought a smile to his face. His brother was his pride and joy. That was something to live for. That was salvation.
Seto opened his eyes.
Maybe redemption has stories
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where ya gonna go?
Where ya gonna go?
Salvation is here
Seto got up and walked out of the room. "Wait, Kaiba!" he could hear Josh call. He walked wearily over to the phone booth. He put in a quarter and began to dial his home phone number.
-Kura-
She looked up from HiKari and Mokuba and turned to the phone. "I'll get it!" Kari chirped quickly running from her sister';s arms and over to the telephone. "No you won't! I'm the woman of the house and I only answer the phone!" Kura called. The phone stopped ringing and Kura rolled her eyes.
"Hey Kura! Some sick guy is on the phone for you!" Kura raised her eyebrow. "Some sick guy?" Kura walked over to the phone with Mokuba close by her side.
"Hello?"
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Dare you to lift yourself
To lift yourself up off the floor!
Dare you to move
Dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before…
