Chapter two: Make a wish.
Mokuba opened his eyes but closed them instantly, the sun was killing his poor eyes, at first he thought it was his brother with his 'wake up calls' but after a few minutes of silence he opened his eyes again. The ceiling above his head was strange, it was different then what he remembered, he looked around and realised he was in the living room.
"Hey wake up." He said sleepily throwing a pillow at Ryan.
"What time is it?" He asked rubbing his eyes.
"It's almost noon, I guess we feel asleep after all, too bad for spending the night up."
"Looks like we're all alone."
"It's the weekend; all the maids have the weekend off." Mokuba said. "The only people here except us are a few guards outside and the butler."
"You mean that creepy old guy, the little one with the big head and the small glasses?" The two kids looked at each other, they didn't like Hobson, he was giving them the creeps and being all alone here with him wasn't really something they were looking for."
"What about we go to the arcade?" Mokuba suggested, anything was good to get away from the little old man.
The two of them walked in the street toward the arcade. "Oh no." Mokuba complained seeing a few face he didn't wanted to see."
"What a good way of starting the day, maybe staying at you home with the butler wasn't that bad." Ryan said, rolling his eyes when the group finally reached them.
"Hey Mokuba, we're going to the arcade wanna come with us?" Matthew looked at Ryan. "That is as soon as you get rid of this trash."
"You know what, I don't really feel like going to the arcade anymore." Mokuba and Ryan turned around and started to walk away.
"When will you understand Mokuba? He's not like us, he's poor, you shouldn't be talking to him, it's not good for you."
"Hey, I might not be rich but I'm not poor either."
"And you do you think you are telling me what's good or not for me?"
"Come on, you're a Kaiba, you mustn't be seen with a guy like him, you're better then him."
"And since when do you decide what a Kaiba can or can't do?" Mokuba asked, he was tired of them always trying to make him think their way.
"Is there a problem kid?" Said a voice behind Matthew.
All the kid looked at the source of the voice. "Uhmm no, we were going." Matthew said as he walked away with his friends.
"So, what are you two doing here?" Joey asked once the others were gone.
"We wanted to go to the arcade but since they are going there then I guess we're not." Mokuba said. "What about you."
"I was in a bad mood and when I saw those guys with you I decided to have a little fun."
"And why were you in such a bad mood?" Ryan asked.
"I bet you anything that he saw my brother this morning."
"How did you know?"
"It's not really that hard to figure out, Seto's the only one I know who can put even you in a bad mood."
Mokuba was right, there were only two things that could put Joey in a bad mood, someone hurting on of his friend or seeing Kaiba, the three of them decided to eat some pizza and were now heading for the game shop, the others were probably already there.
The three of them stopped in front of the local new attraction, the mayor really was a strange guy. It was nothing much, only a fountain but the neighbourhood started a rumor about your wish becoming reality if you throw a coin in it, of course everyone knew it was just a joke, throwing a coin in a fountain never made wish became reality but people did it just for fun…or see who had the guts to throw to most money in it.
"Oh yea, I heard of this place, it's the wishing fountain." Joey took a coin out of his pocket with a grin.
"Don't tell me you believe in those things." Mokuba said.
"Hey after all the crazy things that happened to all of us you tell me there's no way this rumor could be true?" Mokuba still wasn't convinced. "Then you are right, I don't believe in it for a sec, I'm just doing it for fun."
Mokuba smiled, why not. Both him and Ryan took out a coin and the three of them walked in front of the fountain. Joey was first, he closed his eyes for a few second to think about the wish he could make, then a really large grin appeared on his face and he flipped the coin right in the fountain.
Ryan was next, he was turning the coin around in his hand and finally threw it in the fountain. When his turn came Mokuba looked at the water, what could he wish for, of course it wasn't like it was going to come true anyway, it was for the fun of it, but he still wanted to wish for something he really wanted, like the fountain really was magic.
While he was looking at his reflection he saw his locket around his neck, a small smile appeared on his face. I know what I want, I want Seto to be able to trust people again, like when he was still a child. Mokuba then threw the coin in the water.
The three on them started to walk toward the game shop again, they were nearly there when Joey asked them a question.
"So, what did you wished for anyway?"
"I thought you mustn't tell your wish to anyone because it won't came true." Ryan said with a smirk.
"So what it's not like the fountain is about to make any difference, it's not magic so who care if we tell it or not."
"If it doesn't really matter then why don't you do the honour?" Mokuba said.
Joey grinned. "No offence Mokuba but I wished to kick your brother's butt at duel monster."
"Oh I'm not offended, you said it yourself, the fountain won't change anything so my brother will keep kicking your but for the rest of your live." Mokuba said smiling.
"We'll se about that." Joey said grinning.
"Joey, why don't you accept it, my brother's just too strong for you, you couldn't even beat him if he turned back into a child." Mokuba said with a grin of his own.
"That's something you'll never prove. Anyway I told you my wish so now it's your turn to tell me yours."
Mokuba wondered what he could tell to them, he didn't really wanted to tell them his wish, they wouldn't understand, or rather Joey wouldn't. Fortunately Ryan spoke first. "I wished that the baby will be a boy." He said with a smile.
"Oh so your mom's pregnant, you're gonna be a big brother." Joey said with another grin.
Ryan nodded and then turned around. "What about you Mokuba? What did you wished for?"
Mokuba looked at the two of them then in front of him, the game shop was just ahead. "Do you really think I'll tell the two of you?" He said laughing before he started to run toward the game shop.
Joey and Ryan looked at him with surprise for a few second before they started to run after him.
Mokuba entered the game shop and quickly hid behind the counter, ignoring the questioning looks of his friends. Only a few second later Joey and Ryan entered panting as much as Mokuba, confusing everyone even more.
"What in the world are you three doing?" Tristan asked.
"It's their fault." Mokuba said, stepping out of his hiding place. "They were chasing me."
"Hey you're the one who started to run away." Joey said.
"And why exactly were you chasing each others like that?" Yugi asked.
The three of them looked at each other. "Well…we were…uhhhh." None of them actually wanted the other to know they had actually made wishes at the fountain. "Just forget it, it's not important." Joey said.
All of them stayed late at the game shop playing card and other game like that, of course Yugi win them all, Mokuba was always second and Joey, well he was always the loser.
"I don't get it, you finished second at duellist kingdom and fourth at battle city yet you can't even win a game as simple as go fish." Tristan said when Joey lost once again.
"Hey it's not my fault you can't shuffle the cards correctly." Joey complained.
"Come on Joey admit it, you stink at those game." Mokuba said.
"Hey in case you haven't notice you never fished first either."
"Maybe, but that's only because Yugi is unbeatable at any game." Mokuba said.
"Who cares, you never win."
"I never lost either."
"That doesn't prove anything."
"Alright then, Yugi would you mind not playing this game?" Yugi shock his head no. "Good, now we'll se who wins."
As said Yugi didn't played this game, the game was quite simple, Uno. The ranking was as follow, Mokuba, Bakura, Tea, Ryan, Tristan and still last; Joey.
"Here, I'm finished, sorry Joey but it looks like you lost once again." Tristan said laying down his last card. "This kid really is a little Kaiba, he can beat everyone exept Yugi." He added patting Mokuba on the head.
"I'm not that good." Mokuba blushed lightly.
"Well then what do you say about a little duel?" Joey said.
"You really doesn't know when to gives up do you?" Tea asked.
"Just let him do what he want, I think this could be interesting." Yugi said.
Since all of them seemed to want to see them duel Mokuba accepted, It looks like Joey's going to get himself at least one victory today.
Mokuba was the one to start, he had a lot of practice since he duelled Yugi in duellist kingdom and this time he was using his own deck. The duel didn't lasted very long, all of them were staring at Mokuba with wide eyes, he had win the duel in 6 turn and had barely lost 200 life point.
"That's what you call not that good?" Yugi asked, even he was extremely impressed by the kid's duelling skills.
"If that's the case then I wonder in what category Tristan is." Joey said.
Mokuba was just as impressed as them, he couldn't believe he had win that easily. "Well the only two people I duel against are Ryan and Seto. And well no offense but Ryan isn't really strong."
"I totally suck." Ryan admitted with a smile.
"And how much time did you duelled against your brother?" Yugi asked.
"Well I don't know, he taught me how to play when I was four and we used to play lots of time each day and I've been duelling him almost everyday for at least a year. I must have duelled him more than a thousand times."
"Did you ever beat him?" Joey asked. Mokuba shook his head no. "You mean that in a thousand duels with the skills you have you never once beat him?"
Mokuba shook his head again. "I'm lucky if I'm still in the game after five turn."
"I guess that explain why you thought you weren't that good." Bakura said. "Still with the skills you have you could be playing in the continental championship, if not in the world one."
"Bakura's right, you have the skill to play in high level tournament." Yugi said.
"I never really thought of entering a tournament, I didn't know I had the skill for it."
"Well then maybe you should, the local tournament is in a month, you could try it." Yugi said.
Mokuba smiled a little bit. "I guess I could talk to Seto about it, after all everyone can enter the local championship."
All of them played for a little while longer before deciding to call it a day, everyone was gone except for Joey (and Yugi of course since it's his house) when Mokuba tried to call his brother, he was surprised when no answer came.
"You know you really didn't had to take me home." Mokuba said once they reached the mansion barrier.
"Hey we certainly weren't going to let you walk all alone in the dark, this city's dangerous at night and you aren't just any ordinary kid." Joey said.
Mokuba sighed. "I know, thanks." He added with a small smile before entering the garden and heading toward the door.
Mokuba entered the house quietly, he never told Seto where he was and he should have been home an hour ago.
"It's about time you arrive." Said a voice behind him.
Mokuba turned around, the voice was coming from Hobson, Mokuba's heart started to beat again, for a second he thought it was Seto. "Do you know where Seto is?"
"He came back about an hour after you and your friend left, he didn't look so well, all I can tell you is that he's not in his office so he probably went straight to bed." The little man said before turning around.
Mokuba made his way upstairs, he really was tired and decided to go to bed early, if 10:30 was early for an 11 years old boy. Mokuba passed in front of his brother's room, he wanted to see him at least a little before going to bed but if what Hobson said was true and Kaiba really was sick then he should let him sleep. Mokuba went to his room and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
Hehe I really love this story I have so much in store for it.
