Chapter Two: The Plan
A/N: No, Seto is not sending his brother to a mental institution. Thank you for all of your reviews. I did have this up but I had to fix it after I saw a problem.
The next morning Seto woke up and got ready for school. When he went down stairs, he couldn't find his brother anywhere.
"Mokuba? Mokuba, where are you?" he cried.
"Up here," a muffled voice said upstairs. Just then the phone rang for Mokuba. The young boy ran downstairs with a portable in hand.
"Seto, can I hang out with my friends after school?" he asked. Nodding, Seto reached for his cup of coffee and drank some. At least he wouldn't have to worry about Mokuba after school for the day. Mokuba smiled and ran out the kitchen to talk. He ran back down and got inside the limo. Seto just looked at his brother in shock. The other night he was a scared, whimpering kid who probably yelled Seto's name for an hour.
After the limo stopped at Domino High, Seto got out and out of the corner of his eye saw Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Yami, and Tea Gardner walk past him. The three of them were talking about movies when Joey bumped into Seto.
"Watch where you're going, mutt," Seto said to the blonde. Joey looked at him with a shaking fist.
"Kaiba, I'm sick of you calling me a dog! I'm not a stupid dog!" Joey screamed.
"Two words: tick tacks. And you're right, you're not a stupid dog. You're dumber than a dog. So why don't you take yourself to the pound," Seto said as he walked on. He heard the group try to hold Joey back from beating Seto up. The only fun thing about school was that he could torment Joey every minute and there was nothing he could about it. The day got darker and it started to rain. Seto and Tea were in the same advance Biology class when the lights had been cut off from the storm. Five minutes later, the lights came back on and Seto's cell phone went off. Luckily, no one except for him could hear it.
"Seto Kaiba speaking," the CEO said hoping that it wasn't about his company losing everything from the power shortage.
"Mr. Kaiba. This is Mrs. Johnson. Your brother has had a nervous breakdown and needs to go home for the rest of the day. If you would, please check him out," he heard a woman say over the phone. Seto looked up at the ceiling in disbelief.
Mokuba… not now. He really needs to get over this fear, he thought.
"Someone will be there in a few minutes," he said and hung up.
Dialing up the limo driver's number, Seto caught Tea looking at him with concern in her blue eyes. Telling the driver to pick up Mokuba, Seto felt like he would never have his little brother get over the fear. Twenty seconds later, Seto hung up and finished his class work.
"What's wrong, Kaiba? You look ticked off," Tea said walking towards the CEO.
"Nothing Gardner now go away," he said in an angry tone.
"Just trying to help," Tea said in a hurt tone. Seto sighed and told her what's happened for the past two years. Tea laughed about Mokuba's fear.
"Oh, poor you. I'm sorry for laughing it's just that I can't believe that Mokuba is scared of the dark after watching one horror movie," Tea said while trying to stifle her giggles. "Maybe my friends and I can help Mokuba get over his fear. Who knows, maybe we can cure him for good," she said with a determined look.
"No thanks. I don't think he needs you or your geeky friends to help him. I can do this myself," Seto said with an angry look. Tea just nodded and went to her seat. After class, Tea went up to Yugi who was talking to Joey, Tristan, and Yami about the game shop.
"Hi guys. Guess what. Mokuba is scared of the dark! Kaiba just told me in Biology class and I think that we can help Mokuba get over his fear. What do you guys think?" Tea said with a hopeful look.
"Well, I donno 'bout that, Tea. I mean you know what Kaiba would do if he finds out, right?" Joey said a little worried voice.
"What's he gonna do? Sue us for trying to help?" Tristan said sarcastically. Joey, Yami, and Yugi laughed at the joke. Tea looked at Tristan angrily and Tristan looked scared. Yugi and Yami had invited their friends over at their house to study after school for a huge test they were going to have on Friday, which was two day away.
"Sorry guys, but I have some things to do," Tea said looking at the sky.
"See you tomorrow then, Tea," Yami said with a smile that could melt any girl's hearts. Tea blushed a little and walked home. The whole time she couldn't get Mokuba off of her mind. How could someone who is related to the cold-hearted Seto Kaiba be so sweet? And why is he scared of the dark? She would have to find Mokuba and ask him herself and try to help him get over his fear.
A/N: Tea and Mokuba are going to try some things to help him get over his fear so please review.
