Can You Hear Me Now?
Chapter 2- Sleepless Night
R&R PleaseOh, no! Seto thought, as he opened the door and saw his little brother lay limply on a hospital bed. He stopped, dead in his tracks, in front of Mokuba's bed.
The only sound in the cold room was the sound of the heart monitor and Seto's loud and slow breaths. He was speechless; he just stared at Mokuba.
He could see all the medical devices that were hooked up to Mokuba, keeping him alive. Mokuba had a cast on his right leg, his left arm in a dark-blue sling. He had a big black eye, and wasn't awake.
Seto walked slowly over to Mokuba's side, and sat down on the hospital bed next to his young brother.
He looked around the room and saw that Mokuba was being kept alive on life support. It sent a shiver down his spine.
"…Mokuba…" he whispered. " Don't go…" You can't leave me. He reached for his hand; it felt cold.
A nurse entered the room. Seto turned towards her, then looked away.
" Sir," she said warily.
" What!" he shouted.
The nurse gulped. " Your brother…is…unconscious." She said getting a bit choked up.
Seto just looked at Mokuba.
" Sir?"
"Leave,"
"What?"
" LEAVE!"
"O…k…k…kay," she said, frightened, and left the room.
He just stayed in the hospital room, by his brother's side, until visiting hours were over. Seto left Mokuba's room and started to walk to his car when, " Kaiba," shouted a familiar voice.
He turned to see the gang sitting in the waiting room. Seto made a low growl. They walked over to Seto, all four of them, Yugi, Tea, Joey, and Tristian.
" We heard about Mokuba," said Tea sadly with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry."
" Spare me, Gardener," he said coldly, " I don't need your pity."
" We don't pity you! We're just trying to help," said Yugi.
" Well, don't!" Seto snapped.
"Listen, Kaiba," started Joey. " We don't care about you, we came here to help Mokuba. So ya should just put aside ya differences and stop hatin' us…"
" For the good of your little brother," Tea finished.
Seto looked over at Joey.
" Wow, Wheeler, you're more controlling than I remember,"
" Shut it!"
"Hmm," Seto grumbled and walked out the door and stepped into his car.
" Who shoved a broom up his ass?" Joey asked sarcastically.
"Joey!" Tea yelled.
"Sorry,"
Later,
Seto couldn't sleep; he tossed and turned in his giant bed, thinking about Mokuba. His brother… his only family, might be running out of time. His heart was constantly racing.
The phone rang. He answered.
Seto sighed, and picked the phone up "Kaiba here," he said.
"Mr. Kaiba?" said a woman; he recognized the voice from the other phone call.
" What now?" he asked unkindly.
" It's Mokuba, sir," she began, "He slipped into a coma. We're not sure how long it will be until he wakes up… he may not even survive too much longer."
"…" Seto gasped silently. The words buzzed around in his head like a swarm of wasps. Mokuba doesn't have much time. He hung up the phone, not even bothering to talk to the lady about Mokuba.
He got out of his bed and stepped outside on his front porch. He looked out beyond the wooden railing and saw the landscape near his mansion. The vision of his brother lying limply on the hospital bed, kept flashing through his mind. What f he never saw Mokuba again. What if… he was already gone. No, that couldn't be; he wouldn't let that happen. He would stand by him 'till the end. The two were a team, and always will be…won't they?
