Can You Hear Me Now?
Chapter 1- Bad News
R&R Please
He sat in his chair typing away at his computer when the phone rang.
"What is it!" he yelled into the phone.
"Hello is this…Seto Kaiba?" a woman on the other end of the line asked.
"Yes,"
"Are you related to Mokuba, Mr. Kaiba?"
"Yes," Seto said, thinking that Mokuba was just in trouble at school again.
"Mr. Kaiba there is something I think you may want to know."
"What?" he said coldly. He was trying to hide the bit of concern inside himself. Seto was barely paying attention when the woman said the words that numbed his soul.
" Mokuba was in…an…accident,"
Seto couldn't respond at first. The shock made him speechless. His heart sank. His eyes widened. His throat swelled. He stared straight ahead at the wall.
"Mr. Kaiba?"
He summoned up his courage and asked, "What kind of accident?"
" A car accident," she responded sadly.
He couldn't take anymore of this conversation or he feared he might shed a tear. "Where is he?"
She told him where, and he quickly slammed the phone down on the receiver. He grabbed his trench coat off the coat rack, ran out the door and jumped into his car and drove to the hospital where Mokuba was located. He didn't even bother to take his limo, because he would have to deal with his chauffer. On the drive to the hospital the time seemed to go in slow motion. Every second seemed like a minute. Each minute seemed like an hour. Each breath was a struggle. When his heart would beat he would feel a sharp pain.
Mokuba…
Mokuba was in trouble, he knew, there was no doubt. When it came to his younger brother, Seto had a six sense about these things.
Mokuba needed his brother, to get him through this.
Seto could barely focus on the road in head of him. He nearly ran into a cement truck, which made him finally wake up from his trance-like state. He was tired, worried…confused…angry, maybe. He wasn't exactly sure of his emotions.
On the road, there was a red light and he slammed on his brakes. Whoa, that was close.
When he neared the Domino City Memorial Hospital, his heart began to race. He nearly stopped breathing, as he flew through the revolving doors at the entrance.
On his way to the front desk, he saw the gang in the corner of his eye.
" Kaiba, wait," Yugi said quickly while Seto was running swiftly.
"…Save it, Yugi," he yelled icily, behind his shoulder.
Seto ran to the reception desk.
"M…m…m…Mr. Kaiba," the receptionist said, obviously shocked.
" Where is he?" Seto roared.
"R…r…r…right…d…d down the hall and to the left in room 562."
He dashed down the hall…he promptly stopped at the door to Mokuba's room.
Reality hit him…it hit him hard like a wave, crashing against a pier. He reached for the door handle. He felt the cold metal in his rough hands. He pulled his hand back. What if he couldn't do this? His forehead started to sweat. His hands started to tremble. He slowly opened the door, to reveal Mokuba's limp body. Oh, no.
" MOKUBA!"
