Chapter 19
Fallen family
previously moment
The door to the living room opened and Kisty fell through it in to someone's strong arms. "Dad!" she spoke as the tears began to fall down her face.
now
Seto sat Kisty up in his arms, "Kisty!" he said worried and in shock. "I am sorry Dad, I am so sorry," she cried into his shirt now as he held her close. "Calm down Kisty, it's alright now," he said running his hand over her head trying to calm the crying teenager.
Mokuba, Lisa and Seto heard the conversation in the hallway since Jake and Kisty where yelling, that is why the door to the living room was shut but they were still listening through it. Kisty cried for some time her heart was broken she just did something, that she did not want to do but knew it had to be done.
Jake would not accept her decision, he would always bring up the pain of the past, and Kisty had, had enough of it, so she finally did something about it. Seto pulled Kisty out of her tight hold to him, "Kisty! Look at me," he ordered. The young girl looked at the floor sobbing; Seto took his index finger and lifted his daughter's head slowly. "You will get over him, and move on, like you and I have been for the pass week," he said. Kisty blinked letting the tears run down her face, "I can't, and I am so sorry Dad. I, I…" she started to hyperventilate. "Kisty what did you do that is making you this upset?" Lisa asked not having a clue about the plan.
"Try to breathe, sweetie, what happened up there?" asked Mokuba, taking Kisty by the shoulders and walking her over to the couch with Seto holding Kisty's hand as she started to shake. "I…I tried, too," she was about to admit her plan about the take over to her Uncle and Aunt, but Seto stopped her. "I will tell them, you need to calm down Kisty," he said. Mokuba and Lisa looked at him puzzled, "Tell us what?" asked Mokuba.
"Kisty and Jake were trying to take over Kaiba Corp," spoke Seto in a calm voice. Mokuba and Lisa went wide eye and looked at their niece, "Kisty, why would you do that?" asked Lisa. Kisty looked at the floor, "Anger, attention, loss, and maybe because I want to prove something, but I found I don't want to do all that, I never needed it to get attention, I just, hate myself right now I am a terrible person," she spoke between sobs. Mokuba and Lisa put there hands on Kisty's lap, "No, Kisty your not, try to calm down," said Mokuba in a worried voice.
Lisa looked at the three, "I will get her something to drink while we talk, I will be back in a minute," she said getting up. Seto looked over at Lisa, "Make mine Hot chocolate, and same for Kisty that always calms her down," he said, Lisa nodded, and left the room. Kisty started to cry again, "I am such a mess," she said while sobbing. Seto wiped Kisty's tears from her face, "No, your not, just a little heart broken it happens," he said. Mokuba just watched as his brother tried to calm the girl then it hit him, she called his brother 'Dad' it hit Mokuba hard but he smiled realizing that Kisty accepted Seto again finally after 7 years she finally put it behind her.
"I am going to help Lisa in the kitchen," said Mokuba getting up from the couch. Seto looked at his brother, Kisty reached out for her uncle, "Please stay!" she requested as she took his hand. Mokuba turned and smiled, "ok," he said kissing Kisty's forehead. Seto gave a small smile he now realized something as well, Kisty didn't looked at just him as her parent but Mokuba also since he stood in most of the time.
"Kisty?" spoke Seto as he felt her start to breath normally, as she leaned her head against her father's shoulder. "I am sorry Dad," she said. Seto shook his head, "Nothing to be sorry about, you did the right thing telling Jake off I am proud of you, also I know about that plan so your apology was when you handed me those shares back" he said moving some bangs from Kisty's face that had strayed into her eyes. Mokuba smiled, "You two have really got this thing working," he said crossing his arms, "Kisty you don't need me to stay," he said. Kisty blinked at her uncle, "You have your Dad here for you, now. I will be in the kitchen," he said and left the room.
The girl watched as her uncle leave the room, leaving her and her father, she just realized what she had been calling Seto for the last 30 minutes, and she had been calling him "Dad," which was both confusing since she hadn't call him that since well since he hit her when she was 7 years old. "I don't know what to do anymore," she said. Seto leaned Kisty back on the couch, "You can start by, relaxing, the last thing I need is my daughter going into shock from a break up on Christmas Eve," he said. Kisty nodded her head, and was about to say something when she saw something in her father's eyes as he looked at her.
This did two things to her, one she realized that her father had been lonelier then she was at that moment, and two she did love him as a child would for a parent, Seto may not have been there for her in the past, but he was here now and that is all that mattered to Kisty. Not Jake, Kaiba Corp or even the fact that her mother was gone, Kisty just thought of one thing, if anyone was to hurt her father in anyway, weather through the company or her, they would die the minute she found out and that caused a smile to cross her face.
Seto looked at his teenage daughter; he did not know exactly what he was to do now, he was moving on pure instinct which was new to him, however he knew this wouldn't last too long until an idea came to mind. "Kisty, I will be right back don't go anywhere," he said getting up. Kisty was puzzled but laid her head against the couch just as Mokuba and Lisa came and set the drinks down, Seto grabbed his brother and pulled him out of the room.
"Seto, where are we going?" asked Mokuba as they went into the entrance hall of the mansion. "I need to ask you something away from the girls," he said. Mokuba nodded as they walked up to the office.
"I want to know something Mokuba," spoke Seto once they sat down on the couches in the office. Mokuba put his hands under his chin, "What do you want to know?" he asked. Seto sighed, "Do you know if Kisty has any friends that she could talk to about this, you know her slightly better then I do?" he asked knowing that later he would have to make his brother swear not to tell anyone about this. Mokuba thought for a minute, he realized that Seto was going to call one of them over to help Kisty cope with her break up with Jake.
"I know one person, but the thing is I don't think you'll like him," he answered. Seto turned, "Who?" he asked. Mokuba nodded, "Josh Bakura," he answered quickly. "The Bakuras' kid, as in Ryou and Yami Bakura's adopted son that they found in the cemetery, 15 years ago?" he asked. Mokuba nodded, "Yes, that's the guy, I know he is Kisty's best friend, have been since preschool remember he was that kid in the water fight years ago," he added. Seto nodded, "oh that brat, fine," he said, pick up his office phone and dialed a number, "Hi, Ryou, this is Kaiba got a question," he spoke into the phone.
Meanwhile down stairs with Kisty and Lisa
"So that's what happened, you were going to take over the company and then you back out of it," said Lisa once Kisty had calmly explained everything to her aunt. "Yes, I was going to take over Kaiba Corp but then Seto took me to the spot where he and my mother fell in love with each other, you know that spot that over looks the ocean where you could see the best sun rises also the sunsets since it was almost a 360 degree view. We began to bond, and now, I don't know what or who I am anymore it's like all my anger, the pain, frustration, and sadness, just vanished when I told Jake to drop the take over," she said.
Lisa smiled at her niece, "I especially like the line, 'you never loved me but power,'" she said. Kisty went wide eye, "You heard that?" she asked. Lisa nodded, "If Mokuba and I heard it too then yes we all heard it," she laughed. Kisty blushed, "Did I do the right thing Aunt Lisa?" she asked the former princess. Lisa smiled, "Yes, Kisty from what you were telling me. Jake was using you, to get power, you know if you took over and you had majority that you would be alone right now," she said "or Jake would be telling you what to do until he got enough and took over your half of the company."
Kisty sighed, "I was a fool, not to mention he had 30 and I only had 6 that's if we minus Seto's 15 he was going to give me, which still wasn't enough," she said feeling the stupidity roll over her again, she sat there for a few hours, and then Seto and Mokuba came back into the room.
"How is she?" asked Mokuba as he sat down next to Lisa. Seto took his spot on Kisty's right and looked at his daughter, "I am fine just feeling a little sad that's all," she said. Seto and Mokuba looked up at the doorway to the living room. "Well then maybe I can make her smile," said a voice. Kisty's eyes shot open and she turned towards the familiar voice.
"Josh!" she said running over to him, and giving him a very large hug. Seto smirked and Mokuba smiled, while Lisa looked at them questionably, "The girl is on a rebound and you bring another guy into the mansion?" she asked the two Kaiba brothers.
Josh had his arms around Kisty hugging her in return, he looked at Seto and Mokuba who told him what happened to her and Jake on the phone. "I will handle this," he said to them and pulled Kisty out of the room and towards the stairs. Where the two sat to talk, "So you want to tell me what happened?" he asked. Kisty just sat there with one of Josh's arms across her shoulders rubbing her back gently.
"You know I could just leave you like this but why see my best friend, look so down?" he asked. Kisty with sadness in her eyes looked at Josh, 'why was he even here for me,' she thought. "Mokuba and Seto told me you had a fight with Jake, and that he was using you for some plot?" he asked trying to get Kisty to spill her washed up emotions. Kisty nodded, "He wanted me to take over Kaiba Corp at 14 like my father did to his father," she said. Josh nodded, "Kisty, ever since you introduce me to that jerk, I knew he was trouble. Kisty, don't let the pain stay, let it go," he whispered.
Kisty nodded, "I am, that's why I didn't take over the company, or take the shares that my Dad gave me to take over. I gave it back, Josh, I walked away from my chance, and yet I feel like I…" she trailed off losing herself in the Josh's dark green eyes.
Josh knew when Kisty looked him in the eyes, that she would get that funny look in her face, but he didn't let her keep it for long, "Kisty, you just broke up with Jake a guy you thought that you actually loved, but who do you really love, Seto or Jake?" he asked. Kisty gave a small smile, "I guess Dad," she said letting a small smile cross her face.
Josh smiled at Kisty, "Then you did the right thing Kisty, you followed your heart the same as your mother did from what I remember of her," he said. "I will be here for you, Kisty," he added softly. Kisty nodded her head, "thank you Josh," she said showing a small smile and leaning her head on his shoulder as he rubbed her other arm.
Lisa, Mokuba and Seto stood in the doorway of the living room watching the two teens talk for a while. Seto looked at Josh, he found something that was interesting about the boy, then it hit him in the head, "oh what have just done?" he asked himself mentally slapping him self too walking back into the living room. A small voice spoke in the back of his mind, 'Oh, you did something, Tea would do, what's bad about that?' it asked. Seto rolled his eyes, "shut up brain," he muttered so that no one would hear.
In Domino in a restaurant a few hours later
A young man about 17 years old sat a booth with a cup of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other. It was about 1:00am in Domino and this restaurant was open 24 hours. The man had long sandy blonde hair, he had a tan tone, and his muscular body did not seem to fit his small frame. A man walked in from the snowstorm, he had jet-black hair and a tan with amethyst eyes, and he was about 6 feet tall and was very cute in most girls' opinions.
The man reading his paper and drinking his coffee looked up, "You're late Orion," he said sipping his coffee. The man that just walked in saw the younger man sitting down reading and drinking. "Jake, I was wondering where you have been for the last five hours, what happened?" he asked.
Jake put down his paper next to him, "What happened? I will tell you what happen Kristen Kaiba is what happened," he snapped. Orion raised an eyebrow, "The Kaiba brat, what did she do now that was so bad that you had to drag me out of bed in the middle of the night!" he snapped. Jake smirked, "Kisty dumped me and has decided to scrap my plans. Kaiba was going to hand her 15 shares of his company as a present but she turned it down and told him to hang on to it for her mother wished that she would take over the company someday but no by force," he snapped back at Orion, trying to play the last part as a goodie toe shoes routine. Orion was listening with great interest as Jake told him the details and the break up.
"So you can't even keep a hold of the girl, dear brother," spoke Orion crossing his arms after Jake had finished. "Well I didn't see you doing anything, what have you been doing these pass few days?" asked Jake. Orion chuckled, "Well trying to figure out those last 15 shares for you but since we know who has them now. No more sneaking around corners, but I have one giant question did you at least steal something from Kisty?" he asked. "Unlike her mother, did to our family, no, at least not in the same way. However, I have taken her first kiss, and shown to be a great actor at that, I never loved the bitch," he added. Orion laughed, "Oh Ra no, stop, now before I call our uncle out here to kick your ass!" he spoke.
Just then a man walked in, he appeared Egyptian, tall with no hair except a very long ponytail of black hair and a tattoo on his face. "Jake?" he asked seeing the two boys talking as he walked over to them. Jake sighed, "Oh Ra, father nothing's wrong just broke up with Kisty that's all that happened," he said trying to portray that the break up, had upset him.
Orion watched as he father sat next to his brother, "What happened?" he asked. Jake look at Orion, the whole plan to take Kaiba Corp was a surprise and did not want to mention it to their father. "ODEON!" snapped a young woman as she ran into the restaurant. "AHHH, no it can't be!" said Jake quickly. "Oh Ra save us!" said Orion as their Aunt now neared them "Aunt Isis," they both said.
"What is going on here!" snapped Isis, then realizing whom she was talking too. "Jake and Orion Ishtar" she snapped"What are you two doing up at this hour, and what the heck was so critical that you had to drag your father, my older brother out of bed!" she snapped. Odeon rolled his eyes, "Isis, back off, I will handle this, since these are my boys, your nephews. Calm down and go take care of younger master Marik before he hurts himself again," he said quickly.
Jake and Orion looked at their angry Aunt; "What Father said Aunt Isis, and we want to talk to him no you!" spoke Orion. Isis rolled her eyes, "What you tone young man!" she snapped. Orion rolled his eyes, "You're not my mother and I am too old to be told what to do by you! I am19 years old," he snapped. Odeon had, had enough, "Silence! Orion don't talk to you, Aunt that way you may be almost 20 years old, however I am still you father and will not allow you to speak that way to my Sister understood!" he snapped.
Orion gave a small nod, "Yes," he said, in a calm voice. Jake sighed, "I got dumped alright," he snapped. Isis and Odeon turned their attention to the teenage boy, "Kisty dumped me, and I called Orion to meet me here, not you two," he said. Odeon nodded, "And Orion told me while he was living the house that, you where going through some kind of crisis," he said, "and also there was a surprise you two wanted to show me?" he asked.
Orion and Jake shot each other glances, "No at least not yet, I did have a surprise for you but it's on back order right now," said Orion. Odeon nodded, "Well then I am heading back to your Uncle's and Aunt's place. Jake since you're under 18, I will not let you stay out all night come along," he said. Jake looked at his brother, "Well talk later little brother about the 'present'" said Orion. Odeon, Isis and Jake walked to the car out side and drove away.
Orion sat at the table and smirked, "So Kisty you figure my brother out, but now it time to make you pay for what your mother did to my cousin," he said with a slight smirk, and pulling out a knife, "With your own blood, Kristen," he laughed.
