Cosmos Angel 1- I think I put this some where else too, not address to you of course. Don't be worried about if its good or not. Trust me, I read on this site for five and a half years before I had enough courage to post my ideas up. If you want I can give my e-mail address, even though it is in my bio and I can take a quick look over it if you like. I know when I saw that episode of his grief I wanted to hug and smack him at the same time. My family was laughing at the first comment out of my mouth. 'He's 5,000 years old at least he could grow up!' I went through a whole monologue of 'humans make mistakes, he made one, he has mourned over it, now he can get up and do something about it.' Out of all the arcs I read, seen, whatever, Waking the Dragons didn't rate to highly on my list. Actually, for the past couple episodes that monologue has been getting longer and I swear my family is reciting it with me. 'Self pity, the human emotion I could much rather do without sometimes.'
A formal apology of all my readers of my stories, finals have been a royal pain. We don't get our results until Dec. 24th, Christmas Eve. If the school system is trying to make my holidays miserable, they need to find a different approach, I take a test and I forget about until I get the results. Worrying never help.
For all intense purposes I do not own either of these two shows.
Destiny sighed as she saw her sister twitched in agitation. She shook her head, her thoughts falling on the two mau advisors. Destiny's long whimsical fingers tangled delicately in the strands of her most beloved ones. Musing over a few things mortals have said over the years, 'full control, I wish.' She muttered internally as she watched Fate restrain herself from strangling Selenity's advisors. Using a free finger she motioned the viewing portal to change alighting on Apollo's adult form. Hmm, if Usagi is fourteen, that would make Apollo twenty-eight I believe. Destiny mused as she cast a quick look into the viewing globe. Fate's body language had soften as they saw the bronze male enter their vision.
Apollo sighed sweeping a tired hand through his messy locks. He had grown and filled out representing the very king he once was. He was in a small cemetery placing two white carnations on two head rests. Apollo bowed in respect and lessening sorrow as time went on. "Mother, father, I am sorry you once again will not know you granddaughter." Apollo stated, his shoulders hunched. "I am sure you would be proud of her, and she you for dying bravely by taking those hits for Kaiba-san." Apollo informed the grey stones. "However, Kaiba-san has passed on leaving his son Gozabura in charge of the company." He said and turned away. "Good afternoon, I will see you again later." Apollo mumbled and walked off. Though Apollo had no economic problems due to the fact his father's business was successful, the cemetery was close and he preferred to walk instead. Apollo walked into his home his fingers automatically hitting the message machine. He heard the family greeting that was also the business introduction, then the dreary robotic voice informing he had one message. Apollo nodded absently as he changed from his business suit into more casual ware.
"Mister Sol, this Gozabura Kaiba of Kaiba Corporation." A heavy male voice streamed for the machine. Apollo rolled his eyes, 'Yeah, yeah, I am quite aware of who you are.' he muttered sarcastically in his head. Hmm, shows more of Serenity's competitive energy. "I was overlooking my father's files looking for the body guard company that had risked their lives to save his." The voice continued. Apollo rolled his eyes again. 'How droll.' was the thought as he heard the speech. "I was hoping to employ your services for me and my son Noa." Gozabura explained. Apollo shook his head. 'Yeah, he reached a point, business men take forever to get to what they want, all of that pointless chatter to set their opponents for them.' Apollo thought as he quickly jotted down the telephone number and address that Gozabura recited over the machine. Apollo made a quick call to set up an interview with the man at two-thirty. Giving a interested glance at the digital clock beside the phone, its red numbers informing him it was one in the afternoon. Sighing Apollo went to his closet and pulled out another suit quickly ironing it and taking a quick shower before his meeting.
Pulling up to a mansion he was semi use to seeing sense he was sometimes brought here by his parents. Shoving his keys into his pocket, he knocked absently at the door, observing as a close face butler open the door with disdain. Apollo gave a side study to the mute male who led him to a beautiful furnished study. Acknowledging the phrase from the butler saying Kaiba-san would be in a moment. His eyes studied every aspect of the room, filing it away as secure. 'According to all of this materialistic flair, I have to say he spends more time in the office, then with his family.' He thought. "Ah, Sol, so nice to hear quickly from you." Gozabura greeted as he strolled in. Apollo turned and bowed to the man, but said nothing. "You remind me of your father." Gozabura pointed out. 'Terrific, another hour of beating around the bush.' Apollo muttered inside.
"Excuse me Kaiba-san, but may I inject and request that we get to the heart of the matter." Apollo said politely. Gozabura smirked in response and sat in the large leather chair behind the heavy oak wood desk. He gestured for Apollo to sit, but he declined. Gozabura searched through his top drawer grabbing an expensive cigar and lighting with a established flair. 'Money, much?' Apollo sneered inside.
"Yes, indeed, as I mentioned before I want to employ your services." Gozabura stated. He took a distinguished pause and tipped his cigar ashes in the silver ashtray that sat in front of him. Apollo tilted his head signifying that unfortunately he was listening. "I would like you start tomorrow, I will have your stuff moved in today if you agree." Gozabura informed Apollo. 'Making decisions for me are we?' Apollo wondered. "Well?" Gozabura inquired. Apollo mulled his decision and answered him.
"I will be able to start tomorrow, but I much rather keep my items at home where I will return to at the end of everyday." Apollo declared. Gozabura frowned, but agreed none the less. There would be plenty of time to change Apollo's mind set. They stood and shook hands each one going their separate ways. "How old is the young master Noa?" Apollo inquired.
"Six." Was Gozabura's response as he let Apollo out of the house. Apollo returned home, falling exhausted onto his bed. Tomorrow came quickly and he returned to the Kaiba estate. "You will be accompany me to an over sea conference." Gozabura stated when Apollo greeted him. Apollo nodded in agreement and they entered one of the private jets of the Kaiba Corporation. The conference went off without a hitch, however when the business pair returned home the was grievous news waiting from them.
The maid of the house greeted them with tears in her eyes. "Gozabura-san, young master Noa's limousine was hit by a truck and he was mortally injured." She said and Gozabura nodded.
For several months Gozabura stayed within his lab, then one afternoon he asked Apollo to accompany him to the local orphanage. Apollo watched as Gozabura was challenged by a youth of twelve to a chess match. He caught the cheat of the brown haired youth, but said nothing. The youth won and Gozabura adopted two dark hair young males. Gozabura introduce them to Apollo as he brought them out. One hand of Gozabura's rested on the short brunette haired youth a definitive spike separating his young ice blue eyes. He wore a green shirt, with blue shorts and a duel monsters card locket around his neck. "This is Seto, my new heir." Gozabura said. Then the other youth stepped forward hiding slightly behind Seto. He was a youth of six with untamed long raven locks and similar shade of eyes to Seto peered warmer at Apollo. He wore a similar outfit to the other male, instead of green his shirt was red, and his shorts were black. "This is his younger brother is Mokuba." Gozabura stated. Apollo nodded to both young males. "This is my personal body guard who will keep an eye on you, Apollo Sol." Gozabura instructed the two brothers. Seto raised an eyebrow at his name, but he uttered nothing. The ride was quiet and stifling, for once Apollo wished Serenity would hurry and show up.
The next couple of years Apollo was subject to watching the horrors that Gozabura reaped upon Seto. He would comfort the two lads as much as he could, but he could do nothing of the tyranny that Gozabura excluded. One such example, he had come across Mokuba crying soul searing sobs in Seto's room. He focused on the memory closing out the sound of a whip in the other room.
"Mokuba?" Apollo's concern voice echoed in the dismal room. The raven haired youth turned and leapt into his arms. "What is it this time?" Apollo asked. Mokuba buried his head into Apollo's shoulder drawing strength.
"Seto, hasn't been allowed any rest and hardly any food for the past three days and now Gozabura has a shock collar on him." Mokuba choked out. Apollo rubbed Mokuba's back in comfort. "I can't do anything to help him and I am afraid Seto's going to snap." Mokuba stuttered out. Apollo kept his comforting motions going, but he found Mokuba's statement likely.
"Why don't you make a blue-eyes card for your brother and hide it in his deck?" Apollo suggested. Mokuba rubbed his face and nodded in agreement. Together they drew a duel monster card for the young Seto in hopes of giving him some relief. Apollo watched from the door way shadows as Seto discovered the new item and he hugged Mokuba in thank you. Apollo rapped gently on the door watching in despair as Seto leaped away from Mokuba and whirled fearfully at the door. Seeing only Apollo, he relaxed, a forced a fake smile. Apollo shook his head at Seto, gathering both boys in his embrace. "Gozabura has a meeting for two days in another country, I will try to delay his return for as long as I can, get some rest." Apollo informed them. Mokuba rewarded him with a bright smile, and Seto gave him an exhausted gaze in relief. Apollo felt his soul twist at the despair on the twelve and a half year old male. This was cruel and unusual punishment, but Apollo could not go to the law, Gozabura Kaiba had them all in his pocket. After all, Kaiba Corp was the world's leading weapons producer and terrorist technology evolved every day. Apollo, also noted Seto's first test of business was today. Seto, had brought half of a small fortune five hundred company and made the required million in the sale back. Apollo, had seen the last of Seto's childish nativity be crushed by his iced shield. He stared past the two broken boys looking for the light of his daughter, she could help them and revive their crushed youth.
Fate gritted her teeth as she recall the damage to the realm of the Egyptians. Seto was suppose to have Usagi's support by now, but no the cats had to show up and change that. She grabbed the ice blue mixed with a shade of dark brown strand and twined it with a navy blue back strand. At least no matter what the two brothers will stay together. Fate cast a glance at the viewing orb, she hope anyway. Fate observed as a frayed strand encrypt itself with Seto and Mokuba's strand. "No, Noa was dismayed from the weave and Gozabura is suppose to die from his plunge. Not come back as a virtual menace, Selenity can you see the repercussions of your decision? She stitched the brothers strands across Noa's and Gozabura strands eradicating their presences and having Noa die an honorable death. New problems keep appearing here and there and she observed the strands wield themselves into a tangle. Apollo's strand cut short all of the sudden and she quickly tied it to another. Serenity would know her father once more, no matter how much Luna and Artemis interfere Fate promised. The calming clack as the strand hit the brace of the loom, Fate and Destiny sighed. That one sigh had many emotions tied into it.
The next chapter viewing the YGO cast. I know a lot of you like Yami, but Seto was the easiest to bring into the fold after all he was the first one that was a great duelist to be shut out by Yami. In the sequel, Usagi has romance between everyone Yami receives the first scene and the most scenes in the sequel since he one the poll. Please review,
Much Care and Happy Holidays,
