Chapter Four: The disappearance
Seto ran out of the mansion hurriedly, barely making it to the car before Anzu began urging him to hurry and put his foot on it.
"I'm going, I'm going!" Seto huffed as he sat down and started the car. Anzu remained silent but her worried expression obviously showed that she was in a rush. It wasn't like her to miss out on such an important meeting and especially with her friends!
"Do you know the way?" Anzu asked suddenly, looking at Seto skeptically.
"Yes." Seto replied simply as he speeded down the street, almost taking down a few kids playing street hockey. Anzu grimaced as Seto took a sharp turn and she grabbed onto the side of her chair for dear life. When she meant for Seto to hurry, she didn't mean break the speed of light!
Well, fate had it in for Anzu that day, they found them selves in the middle of a traffic jam, boxed in all four ways by huge semi trucks.
"Dammit!" Seto swore as he hit his steering wheel forcefully. Anzu was a bit shocked at his behavior, normally Seto would be happy at her discomfort.
"It's okay, Yugi won't mind if I'm late." Anzu comforted as Seto swore again. Seto remained silent and then decided to turn on the radio.
"HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!" The awful voice of Britney Spears ran through the convertible and out into the street. In the quiet traffic jam, all eyes turned to Anzu and Seto as they hurriedly tried to turn it off. Seto might have bought a nice car, but it didn't mean it was stable. As Anzu and Seto's fingers collided with the knob, it broke and all that was left was Britney spears crooning all the way down main street at top volume and Seto's constant swearing.
"Turn that thing off you hooligans!" the old lady yelled as she covered her ears. Anzu tried to explain that the knob fell off and she didn't know how to work with the wires but all was lost under a loud chorus.
"Oh my, this is SO embarrassing." Anzu muttered as people constantly stared at them. Seto was resorting to ripping out the wires but still the music didn't stop until finally the song was over.
"OKAY! YOU'RE LISTENING TO 101.8 TOTALLY FM!" a high-pitched voice blared over the streets of Domino. "NEXT UP, WE HEAR FROM CHRISTINA ANGUILERA AND BEAUTIFUL!" Anzu nearly fainted when she heard this and began to rapidly claw at the wires where the knob used to be.
"YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!" the voice broke out as Anzu covered her ears and head in shame.
"Why me?" she muttered as Seto was now punching the radio.
"DAMMIT! SHUT OFF YOU FRICKIN LITTLE THING!" Seto yelled angrily.
"Watch your language young man!" the old woman yelled as she quickly drove away. The traffic had let loose and now the cars were streaming away. Seto immediately tried to hurry off but while ripping off his wires, he had accidentally destroyed his car and the engine wouldn't start.
So here Seto and Anzu were, stuck in the middle of Main street, blocking traffic, having people staring at them and shouting at them, people honking at them and the horrid notes of Mariah Carey and Hero now bursting through Seto's full speaker system.
Seto tried to entirely shut down his car but his key got stuck and he couldn't shut off the radio.
"DAMMIT! DAMN YOU STUPID, FRICKEN LITTLE RADIO!" he yelled angrily.
"Excuse me sir, step out of the car with your hands on your head." A voice commanded sternly. Someone had called the police and they were now arresting Seto and Anzu.
"You have the right to remain silent, anything you do or say, can and will be used against you in the court of law." The officer commanded as Seto and Anzu stepped out.
Yup, fate was not on their side.

At the end of the day, Anzu and Seto were free to go but Anzu had entirely missed her meeting, Seto was fuming mad, his car was impounded and he had a 1000 for public mischief and disturbance of the peace on his head.
"That was SO embarrassing." Anzu repeated over and over again.
"I can't believe that happened!" Seto exclaimed wildly, still not comprehending how he had made a complete fool of himself in the middle of Domino.
"Why was your radio on 101.8 Totally FM anyways?" Anzu asked curiously. "And full volume?"
"I don't know! Mokuba must have been fiddling around with it." Seto said glumly, no strength to be mad after all that embarrassment.
"TAXI!" Anzu called from the side of the police headquarters. The taxi pulled up and Anzu and Seto hopped in.
It was nighttime and Anzu was exhausted, she wanted to fall asleep but was afraid that Seto would have to carry her in again.
The taxi ride was in silence, the driver only occasionally trying to make conversation through his thick accent but Anzu was too tired to talk and Seto too mad.
Soon enough, the taxi pulled up at the driveway of Seto's mansion and the exhausted pair walked out, after heavily tipping the driver.
"What a day!" Anzu exclaimed.
"I can't believe it." Seto muttered, giving the impression of what Seto would be like if he had a hangover.
"I'm going to go to sleep early tonight." Anzu decided as she headed through the door.
"Hmm." Seto agreed dazedly as he followed her into the mansion.
"Seto?" Anzu asked as she stepped into the Kaiba mansion.
"Uh huh?" Seto said as he stepped in behind her.
"Do you smell smoke?" Anzu asked worriedly. Seto sniffed the air.
"You're right." Seto verified. The two looked at each other with the same though, 'Uh oh'.
Anzu dashed around as she tried to follow the smell of smoke.
"Mokuba!" Seto yelled suddenly, noticing an eerie silence. "Mokuba!" he called again when there was no answer.
"Seto…" Anzu said quietly from near the back of the mansion. Seto quickly sprinted to where Anzu stood, looking into the playroom, or at least what used to be the playroom. The charred room was now a mess, cinders and ash all that remained. The fireproof walls made sure that no other room got burnt but the entire room was gone.
"Holy S!" Seto swore as he looked around in shock. He regretted letting the security take a break that night, this was an emergency.
"Seto?" Anzu asked again, this time hurriedly. "Where's Mokuba?"
"I…I…think he's…he's…asleep." Seto stammered hopefully. Anzu gulped and pointed to the wall, where the gaping letters, I HAVE MY REVENGE, YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME AND LEFT DOMINO FOR GOOD! NOW LITTLE MOKUBA CAN'T ENJOY CHRISTMAS!
It was written with a black crayon and it would forever be imprinted in Seto and Anzu's mind, the sinister letter from someone that dared harm an innocent kid.
"It was Malik." Seto concluded suddenly.
"I'm not so sure…" Anzu said doubtfully, knowing that Malik wasn't evil enough to hurt an innocent child.
"WHO ELSE IS THERE!" Seto cried, in hysterics. Today was terrible, his younger brother, the only thing that kept him alive was KIDNAPPED! "THAT FRICKIN LITTLE MURDERER DID IT!" he continued on.
"Maybe Seto." Anzu said sadly, images of the carefree Mokuba running through her mind. "But you need to calm down."
"No I WON'T!" Seto yelled angrily as he turned on Anzu, fire flashing through his icy eyes. "I WILL HUNT DOWN MALIK AND KILL HIM FOR DARING TO HURT MY BROTHER!"
End Chapter Four
AN: SO Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, I wanted to get it up as soon as possible to show that I'm not dead!
Also, I'm sorry for making Anzu and Seto suffer so much.
NO TEASER THIS TIME: just an annoying question: Did Malik kidnap Mokuba or is there something far more sinister?
Also a hint to help you along some other mysteries: SETO CALLS EVERYONE BY THEIR LAST NAME.
So please, drop a review and tell me what parts I can improve or you like. I'll update as soon as I can and have a GREAT day!
