Chapter 26

Past and Thunder

Kisty and Seto were watching the DVD it was showing moment of Alex and Seto as young teens running about the mansion, it was old security camera footage. Seto told Kisty that he remembers one time Mokuba hacked into the security system and recorded this for him, he did not think that Alexandra knew about the types but somehow she must have gotten them from Mokuba. Kisty watched with a smile on her face, as Seto and Alex played tag, soccer, and then finally hid and go seek, yes childish games but they were only entertaining Mokuba at the time.

The next movie was of Alexandra walking around a room, about six month pregnant Pegasus was the one behind the camera. "Here she is Kaiba Boy, at least what she looks like right now any ways," he laughed. Alexandra glared at her Uncle, "MAX, put that away, I not going to show Seto the tape," she snapped. "Oh Alex don't you want to show him what you went through when you see him again, after the child is born?" asked Nefertiti, with another woman next to her stepping into the shot.

Alexandra looked at her best friends, "NO! In fact I plan to keep the baby away from Seto," she snapped. Ann frowned, "Why would you want to keep that child away from its father?" she asked. Alexandra looked at the ground, "Come on if you were as popular as him, the press would practically make fool out of him for it, having a child out of wed lock not to mention we were drunk when it happened," she snapped falling into a chair. Ann was about Alexandra's age and had long brown hair she was just Pegasus's assistant at the time, but Alexandra and her were close friends.

"So you think the baby was a mistake?" asked Nefertiti sitting down with Alexandra, while Pegasus filmed. "NO, this baby isn't a mistake, but I been keeping an eye on Seto over the last few months ever since I left him at the altar six months ago. I do not think he will believe the news that this is his child. I just do not really have that much faith in him that he will not just run off and have another tournament or be hooked on Duel Monsters for the rest of his life. It's better to wait until some time after he retires from that, game," she said.

"Alex! You know Seto won't give it up unless you tell that man that's his kid, also he said that he is retiring in a year," snapped Ann. Alexandra looked down at her large stomach, "I will decide once the baby is born alright, look we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, yet," she said.

A boy walked in to frame, "I say it's a boy, it kicks like one all the time," he said. Nefertiti looked at her nephew, "Orion, it can't be a boy just because of that," she said. Orion crossed his arms, "Well, alright but what if it's a girl, it would be so cool to have another girl around to play with," he said. Nefertiti smiled, "Your not thinking about waking Kara are you?" asked Nefertiti. Orion shook his head, "NO, but Jake and her are still asleep in the crib if you want to know," he said smiling.

Alexandra looked at Nefertiti, "Your brother in law needs to watch his boys," she giggled. Nefertiti sighed, "No, Odeon needs time alone, it's hard when you lose some one you love, especially when you have had two children, with them" she said.

The camera at that point turned off, another clipped played, Alexandra was in the hospital, "MAX put the camera away and help here," said Nefertiti. "OUCH! Darn contractions!" yelled Alexandra in the background.

Kisty looked at Seto, "Umm can we skip this part?" she asked him. Seto shook his head, "No, I missed the first time you were born so if you don't want to look close your eyes," he said with a smirk. Kisty covered her eyes, but she could still hear her mother on the TV screaming in pain.

"I didn't come easy," Kisty, muttered as she tried not to watch. Seto laughed, "Alexandra I guess after this must have made a high tolerance in pain," he said. Kisty shook her head, "yep, it began with me," she said.

"Alex one more big push and you will have the baby out," said Ann. Kisty moved one of her fingers to see the screen. Seto saw that Kisty was peeking and did not pay attention to it but watched the screen.

A faint cry was heard from Nefertiti as Alexandra gave one hard last push, "OH Alex, look at her," said Ann, holding up the child. "It's a girl," said Nefertiti walking over next to Alexandra.

"OH my Goodness I am a blood ball," said Kisty looking at her bloody baby form, she had came out of her mother's womb as a ball of blood. Seto chuckled, at that he knew now for sure Kisty wanted to see this just been avoiding it for some time.

Nefertiti cleaned the blood-covered new born and wrapped her in a soft warm blanket, and handed the little girl to Alexandra. "She so cute," said Orion looking over Alexandra's shoulder. "SWEET!" said a little one year old crawling on to the bed.

Alexandra smiled at the two children, "She sure is," she said, then she noticed the camera, "MAX! I told you not to film this!" snapped the new mother. Pegasus laughed, "What and miss my dear niece in her moment of glory called child birth, I think not! Besides Kaiba boy would have a field day with this tape," he said with a laugh. Alexandra shook her head, "Fine Max what ever, Seto meet your daughter Kisty, if you haven't seen her already," she said holding up the little girl in the blanket. "She has his eyes," said Ann snapping the picture with her camera.

"Alex, what's her name again?" asked Nefertiti looking at the baby. "Kisty, short for Kristen after my mother," she said. "She has your nose Alex," said Pegasus. Alex laughed, "My nose, Seto's eyes, my mouth, and I believe from the look of sleepiness in her face my ability to sleep among lots of people," she laughed as the little girl new born yawned.

Just at that moment Seto heard Kisty yawn while her head rested on his chest, he knew deep down she was not going to be awake much longer. Seto turned his head back to the TV as a new clip played.

"Come on Kisty, you can do it," said Pegasus, holding the camera eye level with a one year old Kisty. "MAX! What are you doing?" asked Alexandra, lying on the floor. Pegasus turned the camera to face Alexandra who was behind Kisty with a book in her hands. "I am trying to get the girl to walk again, what it looks like I am doing since you don't want to get out of bed," he said.

Alexandra rolled her eyes, "She walked yesterday, you didn't get enough of that?" she asked. Pegasus gave nervous laugh, "I would have enough except two boys and one two year old stole my camera and recorded over all of it," he said. Alexandra laughed, "Ok, Kisty," she said, holding up the little girl, "Time to walk towards you Uncle," she said.

The baby, Kisty stood up with the help of Alex, and took a few slow uneasy steps towards Pegasus, with her arms out. Pegasus had a pillow below Kisty incase she fell and was leading her with it. Soon Kisty began to wobble slowly and fall forward; she landed on the pillow and giggled happily smiling at the camera.

"Ok Max, it Kisty's nap time, now," said Alexandra picking up the baby girl. Max nodded, "she looks just like you Alex, except for the eyes and hair," said Pegasus putting the camera down but not turning it off.

"Yes, but she is Seto's child too, I just wish he would quit duel monsters already so that we could be a family," she said. Pegasus sighed, "Why don't you take her to the second battle city tournament next week, she is well behaved on planes," he said. Alexandra sighed, "May be it has been a year and six months now since I have seen him last, and he was angry when I talk to him last. You know what Max tell your personal that I will be taking a flight to Domino next weekend were going to go watch a tournament," she said.

Seto sighed, then he felt something snuggle close to his chest, it took a minute to bring him self, back to reality that Kisty was on his chest and had fallen asleep. Seto smiled and stop the DVD, and looked at his daughter now pushing towards her 15th birthday. Seto smiled and moved his feet to single to Kisara that he wanted to move them. The black Labrador half-gray hound, moved off the couch, and wagged her tail at Seto as he moved slowly trying not to wake Kisty and put her in his arms.

Kisty moaned as he moved, but stayed in her sleep, Seto slowly picked up Kisty into his arms, his shoulder gave a small hint of pain but he ignored it. Kisara walked ahead of him while Seto carried Kisty in his arms up the stairs to her room. He walked in since Kisara pushed the door open when her nose, for him, and he set he sleeping teen on the bed.

Seto pulled a few blankets over Kisty, bent down, and kissed her forehead, "Good night Kisty," he whispered in her ear. Kisty slept in her bed, as Kisara jumped on to the bed, to protect her mistress. "You watch her, Kisara, keep our little one safe," he said petting the dog on the head. Kisara wagged her tail and Seto turned and left the room leaving Kisty to sleep.

Kaiba walked downstairs again and into the living room, he looked at the TV. "I won't miss anymore Alex, I swear it," he said turning off the TV and heading up to his room. Seto looked out side seeing the flash lighting in the distance, "Sounds like a storm is on the way, guess I better get to bed," he said to himself as he headed out to the stairs again.

hours later

Kisty ran down a long hall, "NO get away from me, it's not my fault that your all dead say away," she yelled as a dark figure chased her. "Kisara, Dad, Mokuba HELP!" yelled Kisty. "NO one can save you Kisty, your alone, like your mother was," laughed the figure. "Leave me alone, I am not you!" she cried out at the figure. "But you are Kisty, your so like me, after all," said the figure changing form now in to a tall man, "You are my daughter," said the figure looking and sounding like Seto.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Kisty shooting up in bed. A loud clasp of thunder was heard outside, Kisty felt fear well up insider her as she heard the clash, Kisara moved next to Kisty hearing her mistress scream just moments ago. Kisty blinked for a few minutes, she realized she was in her room, on her bed with her dog Kisara, unharmed. "It was a dream," she said shaking, and feeling the sweat drip down her face. "I can't sleep in here," she said getting out of bed and putting the bed sheets back in place. Kisara followed, Kisty as she walked down the dark and cold hallway. Thunder clasped as Kisty approached Seto's bedroom door she lightly knocked on it.

Kisty could hear noises, coming from Seto's room, she could not tell if they were good or bad but she knew that her father was making them. Kisty would never normally just walk into her father's room, but figured that he might be in trouble or having a bad dream. Kisty placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it, the door swung open, Kisty fell in to the room hitting the floor hard.

Seto shot up in his bed hearing someone enter his room and hit the floor. "Ouch!" snapped Kisty hitting the floor, Seto looked down at the door, "Kisty? Is that you?" he asked. Kisty lifted her head, "No it's Mokuba and Lisa?" she asked in a sarcastic tone. Seto turned on a near by lamp, "What are you doing in my room?" he asked crossing his arms over his silk pajama top.

Kisty could not believe she was about to say this, but she was anyway, "I had a nightmare and I umm, I can't sleep in my room. I was kind of wondering if I could sleep in here, with you?" she asked. Seto looked at his soon to be 15-year-old daughter; she was a little too old to do childish things like this.

Seto thought about it for a moment, a slight smile crossed his face, "Hop in, you need to get some sleep, might as well knowing your little fear of thunder storms," he smirked, "however the dog sleeps at the foot of the bed." Kisty looked at Kisara who walked over to a small dog bed that was at the foot of Seto's bed when Kisara would sit with him in the office and Kisty would go to sleep before him.

Kisty walked over to Seto king size bed and got in on the side that used to be her mother's part of the bed. Seto remembered the first time Kisty slept with him and Alex one night she was only four in a half at the time and was scared half to death of the lighting and thunder for it was one of the worst storms that they had ever seen.

Seto looked over at Kisty as she tucked herself into bed. Seto smiled slightly as he turned off the light and heard Kisara shut the door with her nose 'that was one smart dog,' Seto thought, the dog knew how to open and shut doors around the mansion.

Kisara walked over the foot of the bed, and laid down in her little bed on Kisty's side of the large king sized bed. Seto lay back down and rolled to his side with his back towards Kisty. A loud clash of thunder and a bright shot of lighting and thunder was seen and heard outside; Seto felt his bed shake suddenly. He looked over and Kisty was shaking and shivering, where she lay.

Seto kicked himself remembering that he only had one sheet and blanket on the bed and his daughter did not have as much body heat as him, not to mention she used the dog to keep warm most cold nights.

Seto sighed and moved out of bed slowly and walked over to the closet where he pulled out some extra blankets and set them on the bed, mostly on Kisty's side of it. He saw that the girl was trying to go to sleep but something was bothering her. "Kisty?" he asked sitting next to her on the bed. Kisty opened her eyes, "Yeah?" she spoke quietly. "You ok?" he asked, "You're shivering." Kisty nodded, "I am just cold, storms make me think of rain and cold stuff," she said quietly.

Seto walked over to his side of the bed, and got under the new mountain of blankets, he felt like he was going over heart from it, but knew that Kisty need the warmth more then him now. Seto lay on his side again with his back to Kisty who was sleeping with her back to him.

Kisty shivered again but this time it was in fear, a large crash of thunder echoed through the mansion, causing Kisty to jump and cause the bed to bounce. Seto looked over at Kisty; he knew she was letting her fear take hold of her, now, he knew one way to make them leave.

Kisty closed her eyes feeling the darkness enter her mind, the sound of thunder and seeing the flashes of lighting were not helping her sleep either. She thought that sleeping in her father's room would fix that but it did not really help. Suddenly Kisty felt something warm next to her, it was comforting. Kisty opened her eyes to see her father's arms around her. Kisty, suddenly felt the cold melt away and shivering stop, the sound of the thunder was blocked by the hearing of her father's heart behind her ear as he held her close.

Seto held his daughter knowing the same trick used to work on Mokuba when he was younger, he began to gently rub Kisty's back and sooth her to sleep with his hands. Kisty felt her eyes suddenly get heavy as she felt her father's hands rub her arms and side which was not on the bad as she felt warmer and sleepy.

After a few moments Kisty was fast asleep, Seto knew it worked when he saw that Kisty wasn't shaking and calmly breathing, he soon stopped rubbing Kisty side and arm, and held her close to him, he didn't want to let his child go. She was safe in his arms, and now he knew that she trusted him more then anyone else in the world, then it hit him she had no one else but him now except for Mokuba and Lisa but they currently in the other house on the grounds.

Kisty felt warm and safer then she had ever been in her life, she slept peacefully the rest of the night and Seto for once did not need to worry about his daughter and her toughest decision yet, he knew that she would trust him no matter what she decided.
