Chapter 3

GONE

Alec was up in her room crying on a pillow, Jenny next to her crying as well. Andy and Katie were to inform their Uncle Yugi and Aunt Tea about their father's abandonment of them to their mother who was now a complete wreck, along with a sister who had now taken a vow of silence until her father comes back.

The two twins were arguing of who should make the call first Andy suggested that they play a round of Duel Monsters with their parents' decks or rock paper scissors. A knock came at the door alone with a multiple of doorbells, the two twins who had been arguing in the dinning room of who should call their uncle ran to the door at full speed, Jenny and Alec ran down the stairs from the office.

Andy got to the door first, Katie was behind, followed by Alec and Jenny. "I will get it Mom; you and Jenny go sit down on the stairs," ordered Andy taking charge. Alec nodded and took Jenny to the stairs, tears were still in their eyes but only the lines from the tears were on their faces now. Andy opened the door, to see who was there.

Yugi, his daughter Jade, and older son Matt stood at the door, Andy was surprised to see his cousins and uncle. "Uncle Yugi what are you doing here?" asked Andy. Yugi held up a piece of paper, "I just got this from your father, is your mom home still or did she go looking for him?" asked Yugi.

Andy shook his head, "She is here, alone with the rest of us now," he said and opened the door the rest of the way to let his uncle and two of his cousins in. Alec saw Yugi and jumped up, she wiped all the tears from her face as best she could, but Yugi saw that she wasn't giving much effort to it, "Yugi what are you doing here? I know the kids didn't call you, or did they?"

Yugi held up a piece of paper, "No, they didn't call me; this was left at my house a few hours ago, from Kaiba," he said. Alec went beat red, she did not want to hear his name of all people at that moment, "What did the deadbeat say?" she snapped.

Yugi let out a sigh, "How about you first calm down, and let the kids get some sleep and rest it has been a long morning for them all," said Yugi. He turned to Matt and Jade, "Jade take Jenny up stairs and try to get her mind off this, you almost the same age as her so find some dolls or drawing paper ok. Matt take your two cousins to the dinning room, I am going to talk with Alec in the living room."

Matt, Andy, and Kate went towards the dinning room, but Jenny did not move from her mother's side. Jade tried to move Jenny but she was grabbing the guardrail with all her strength at least what was left of it.

Kate and Andy looked at each other, then at Jenny and Jade. "Jenny come in here with us, so we can get some food into you, ok," said Katie. Jenny let go of the guardrail and jumped down to her sister's side, Jade looked at her father who nodded, the three ten year olds, one 7 year old and 4 year old walked to the dinning room.

Yugi moved next to Alec, "Come on Alec, I need to talk to you." Alec looked up from the ground, Yugi's hand was outstretched and she took it. The two siblings left the entrance hall and went into the living room where the whole family would sit and watch TV once a month together. Alec sat on the couch and began to cry, Yugi looked around he had not been in this room much but saw a redness to it from the red leather couches.

The couches in the room connected at the one of the corners, four large windows showing the back yard along with an ocean side view. A big screen TV sat across from the couch against one of the windows.

Alec was on the couch that was perpendicular to the TV, her eyes full of tears, "Yugi, I can' t believe he did it, her left me and the kids, of all people who would have thought that he would be the one to walk out on me," she said.

Yugi sat next to his sister, he placed his hand on her shoulder, "Alec, come on it can't be that bad?" Alec stopped crying and looked at Yugi as if he was crazy, "Yugi! Seto left me to take care of the kids you know what that makes him," she paused to take a breath, "A DEAD BEAT FATHER."

Yugi nodded, "Yeah I know he left, but that doesn't make him a dead beat Alec calm down you're going to hurt yourself doing this," he said trying to calm his sister down. Alec took a few calming breaths, "So what did he tell you that I did so bad to make him leave?"

Yugi opened the note and handed it to Alec she then read it:

Dear Yugi,

If you have not figured it out by now, this is Kaiba, you are ex brother in law. I have left Alec and the kids, yes I left, a person like me who would have thought that I abandon my own three children but I have had it with Alec and them.

Alec has everything, the cars, mansion, the vacation houses, kids, and even the company that Industrial Illusions is taking control of, Kaiba Corp. Alec wins, I cannot believe she found out about that one night where I ended up drunk at that club and ended up with Jessie.

I am out of here I am going to go see my brother Mokuba then I am taking the jet from Kaiba Corp, at least I get to keep that and my deck but I forgot it at the mansion so I am not going back for it. I want you to do me a favor until I can figure things out, take care of my kids for me and… (Pencil marks from erasing) never mind you know what to do about Alec.

Sincerely

Seto Kaiba

P.S. take care of Alec too, she going to need a brother like you, because she does not want a screwed up husband like me.

Alec sent the note down on the table, "I can't believe he thinks that," she said. Yugi looked at Alec, "Well I see he left you everything except his jet," he said. Alec looked over at Yugi, "He dropped that off when?"

Yugi looked at his watch, "about an hour ago, Why? Your not going out their to stop him, are you?" Alec jumped up and ran to the dinning room where she saw the children eating breakfast, she went over to one of the family paintings and moved it to reveal a safe which she did the combination and grabbed the two duel disks and decks.

She then ran out the door, Jenny, Andy and Katie followed her, "Mom where are you going?" asked Andy. Alec turned, "I am going to get your father back, I know where he is and I am going to get him, I can't lose him now."

Jenny looked at her uncle who was sitting with his back against the railing of the stairs, he looked at her, and she then ran after her mother. Katie stopped her sister, "Jen, let Mom, do this on her own, she has to be the one to bring him back." Jenny shook her head and ran up stairs to her room she came back down moments later with some pictures, she had drawn, and it showed Seto and Alec.

The Blue Eyes Jet was behind Seto; Alec was kneeling on the ground with her head down. Seto had on his duel disk and so did Alec. The next picture showed the Blue eyes Ultimate dragon and the Meteor dragon fighting each other. The last picture she showed, Alec losing the duel by forfeiting the duel to the blue eyes ultimate dragon.

Andy and Katie looked at each picture they then remembered the picture that their sister showed them that night of their dad leaving. The twins told Yugi about the picture and they all at that moment figured that Jenny had the ability to see the future one of the after affects of the millennium sword used on Alec while she was pregnant with her.

Andy grabbed one of the pictures not knowing which her grabbed he ran out the door; Alec was just starting her car, Andy called out to her, "MOM WAIT!" Alec stopped the car, "Don't do this," Andy said.

Alec looked at him, "Andy I have to go, I know what you're going to show me, I don't want know the out come is going to be," she said. Andy handed his mother the picture, "Then take it so when you want to know the out come then look," he said. Alec took the picture and placed it next to the gearshift. She put the car into gear, drove down the driveway, and headed to Kaiba Corp.

Meanwhile back at Mokuba's house, Seto had a cup of coffee in hand talking with his brother, while Yamu listened from the kitchen. "So, Mokuba, I walked out, and Jenny was right there holding my leg and I threw her at her brother and sister I don't know why I just did it. I am not Gosaburo don't throw my kids around but I needed to get away from Domino and everything that reminds me that I am becoming him, now as if some reason I just can't control myself," said Seto.

Mokuba put his hand on his brother's back, "Seto if you need to get away then you should leave before Alec figures out that you're going to make a break for it by your jet," he said. Yamu's eyes widen, "Mokuba are you agreeing with your brother he is abandoning his children to just stop Alec's nagging?" she asked.

Mokuba looked at Yamu, "Yamu, it could be worse then that, Gosaburo used to beat Alec, and Seto almost hit his youngest daughter what would you do if you had that hard of past and fine that you almost did something your step father did to you. Look he cheated on Alec he admitted it but if he needs to leave for a while then so be it. However, I do not think it is right that he leaves either. This is one of the way for Seto to clear his head is by leaving what is bugging him, or controlling him. Leaving Alec and his kids is something I don't like but Seto said it himself he is becoming Gosaburo again or something else either way it is a bad thing," he said.

Seto stood up, "Mokuba, I want you to help Yugi look after them, please." Mokuba nodded, "I will take care of them you better get out of Domino before Alec find out you headed for your dragon jet." Seto nodded, "Yeah it is only a matter of time before Yugi gives her the letter saying how I was getting out of here," he said standing up.

Mokuba hugged his big brother, "Seto come back soon ok and don't forget to at least call your kids once you land somewhere it is best they know where you are," he said. Seto agreed, "I will tell you but not them they will tell Alec and she would probably come after me so, I will call them once in while I leave you telling them where I am."

Seto headed for the door, "Bye Yamu, and Mokuba, I will see you two when I get back." Yamu stood up, "Seto, Don't leave them, reconsider." Seto looked at his sister in law, "It's too late Yamu, I can't go back, I almost hit my daughter and I am becoming a monster, I have to leave before I do it again, or worst screw up even more," Seto walked out the door and drove off before she could argue with him.

Alec drove, as fast as she could towards the Kaiba Corp building she knew time was short. She parked out in front of the building she saw Seto's car in the lot across the street. She hurried into the building as quick as she could, entered and went straight for the Helicopter pad located on the roof of the building.

Alec got on the express elevator to the top floor. When she got there, Seto was nowhere to be seen, she had beaten him up there. Alec placed a duel disk with Seto's deck next to her foot, and places her deck in her disk and put it on her arm and leaned against the jet and waited.

Seto walk through the door a few minutes later, he was not surprised to see Alec had beaten him up there; he took the stairs to give her time. Alec slid over his duel disk to him; he looked at her as if she was kidding.

"Your joking right, Alec, I am not putting that thing on," he said picking it up. Alec shook her head, "Then you're not getting on this jet until you do and duel me for your freedom like you did with Gosaburo and Noah, you forget Seto that is how things work with you either duel or go home to your kids with me, either way you have to fight me. I don't want to do this but it seems to get through to you better then anything in the world."

Seto smiled at how Alec used one of his old methods for getting what he wants, she was using his old tricks to get what she wanted which, was him; the great Seto Kaiba. Seto bent down and picked up the disk, "My old deck you shouldn't have," he smirked.

Alec smiled, "I take the suit case to be all your cards?" suspected Alec with a raised eyebrow. Seto nodded, "Yeah all of them, now that I have the deck," said Seto. He kicked the case and it fell open, Alec could see all the rare duel monsters cards in the case.

Seto stepped on the top to close it, "I won't need them to beat you, so get ready." Alec put up her wrist and activated her disk Seto did the same.

Alec went first, Seto was not surprised that she took the first move; they battled to where their life pointes reached, Seto 300 Alec 2000. Seto had tried to get rid of her life points by using card that attacked life point but she knew his deck too well and countered them to attack his points.

Seto had only one monster on the field and Alec had her baby meteor dragon on the field. Alec attacked Seto's monster and destroyed it, which is what he wanted her to do, the monster allowed him to summon a Blue Eyes white dragon once it was destroyed.

Seto played Lord of Dragons and the flute of summoning dragon, Alec then played Red-eyes black dragon with her baby meteor dragon and fused Black Meteor Dragon. Seto smiled, "Its over Alec, you lose this duel, I have the card I need to make one dragon out of these three."

Alec glared, "I am not afraid of it give me your best shot" Seto made Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and attacked Alec's Black Meteor Dragon.

"NOOOOO, my dragon," said Alec falling to her knees. Seto began to laugh devilishly as he used to when he would beat an opponent back when he dueled for a living. Seto was laughing; Alec looked up she saw something was not right with Seto he was not dueling like him self actually he was not sounding like him self either. "This isn't over yet my move," said Alec. Alec was about to play monster reborn, but before she could summon her monster back, she saw thought about the picture, pulled it out, and looked at it.

Alec saw that the picture had her on the ground and Seto laughing; Alec closed her eyes and saw in her mind how her move would turn out. She then looked at Seto and placed her hand on her deck surrendering the duel.

Seto stopped laughing and looked at her, "You're giving up! Alec?" he asked in surprise. Alec looked at him, "I don't want to see my dragon get destroyed again like you just destroyed my heart for you Seto," she said.

Seto walked over to Alec as she took off her duel disk, "Alec!" he said Alec looked at him, the wind at the top of the tower blew the wind in her face, "You better get up in the air before I change my mind, just go," she said looking at Seto. Seto looked at her, "I am sorry," he said. Alec looked at the ground, "I know you are, but you better go before I…" she did not finish for Seto kissed her on the lips. Alec kissed back; they held each other one last time.

Tear rolled down Alec's face, she felt like she was dying but she couldn't hold Seto back from this, it was his choice and Alec would have to honor that even if it was one of the most stupid he ever did however something was calling him to leave.

Seto looked at Alec, "I want you to know if you need me for anything, you will be able to find me through Mokuba," he said. Alec closed her eyes and looked at the ground, "You better go," she said hearing footstep from the stairway.

Seto placed something in Alec's hand, "This is to make sure I come back." Alec did not look at it she continued to looking at the ground, "Good bye Seto." Alec walked towards the exit; Seto turned from the jet and ran over to Alec, giving her one last surprise kiss.

A small tear rolled down his face, Alec hugged him, holding back her tears, "I love you and I always will, even if this is the in my opinion, by far the worst idea you ever had," Alec said. Seto looked in to her eyes, and she looked back at his, "Alec, I will be with you even thought I am not around, I just have to figure things out."

Alec nodded, "Then get out of here, Seto what are you waiting for my approval of this, you got it now go!" she pushed him away from her she then turned to the stairs, "GO SETO GET OUT OF HERE!" she yelled back at him.

Seto turned and walked back to the jet and started the engines, Alec fell to her knees looking at the door.

The wind from the jet was blowing hard Alec did not move, she just looked at the ground, facing the door, with tears rolling down her cheeks. Yugi, Andy, Jenny, Matt, Jade, and Katie came through the door as the jet with Seto began to lift off the ground. Andy, Jenny and Katie ran to their mother, "Say good bye to your father, because he is not coming back," said Alec.

Yugi walked over to Alec, "You let him go, didn't you?" he asked. Alec looked up at Yugi, "I couldn't do it, I had the cards to win but I just couldn't keep him like an animal chained up, he needs to figure this out on his own and if he wants me he will come back, like I did when we were younger," said Alec.

Andy, Katie, and Jenny confused by their mother's words to their uncle. Jenny hugged her mother, and kept to her vow of silence but that didn't stop her from saying good bye she waved to the dragon jet as Seto looked down at them from it.

Andy and Katie waved hoping there father would come back. Alec's tears fell to the cold cement of the pad. Seto charged the engines and flew off into the sky, leaving everyone behind, his wife, kids, brother, family, and everything that made him Seto Kaiba the family man, he thought it was time to be come again Seto the loner and do it yourself business tycoon once again.

Seto looked at his deck he fingered the two remaining Blue Eyes in it which he now know that he would never be complete again until he had the blue eyes card back. Alec looked up finally and looked at the card in her hand, "Seto I know you would want this back. Until then, I will hang on to it for you, do come back for what ever reason you left, because you didn't leave over just a fight," she whispered.
