Hi. It's me again. I wanted to thank all of my wonderful reviewers. I
reached 7 within a few hours. Do to a request by Sakura Li, I am now going
to use their Japanese names. Alright, on with the story.
Cabin Fever
Surprise, Surprise
Seto Kaiba was not exactly happy that night when he got home. Not only was he being forced to go on a class trip, but Mokuba would be staying home by himself the entire time.
Hi, Big Brother. How was your day?" Mokuba asked the second Seto opened the door.
Seto patted the boy on the head before answering. "It was fine Mokuba. Just fine." Seto hated lying to his brother, but why should he brother Mokuba with all of his problems? "Have you done your homework?"
"Ummm.when you say done you mean what Seto?" Seto glared at the younger Kaiba.
"I don't know Mokuba. What do you think it means?" Seto's glare softened. Mokuba had ways of getting out of anything. That is if really wanted to.
"Uh.I think it means I better get my butt upstairs and finish my work before you catch me." Mokuba and Seto had gone through this scenario many times. It always ended the same. Mokuba upstairs doing his work.
Mokuba walked upstairs to his room and Seto could hear him slam the door from his spot at the bottom. Mokuba didn't really mean to slam it. He just did it to tell Seto that he was doing it against his will.
Seto walked down a long hall and then up a different staircase to find his office. He plopped down in his huge chair and stared at the blank compute screen in front of him.
"Damn that teacher." Seto thought aloud. "Why do I really have to come on this horrible trip. No. Its not a trip. It's a hell hole. It's a death trap cleverly designed to capture unsuspecting teens and drain any maturity that they have." Seto rambled on and on in his head about how horrible that trip was going to be. He hadn't even mentioned it to Mokuba yet. Though he was sure Mokuba already knew.
Seto knew damn well that he couldn't fail just because he didn't want to take a class trip. First of all, he had to fail at least two core classes to fail for the year. That, and what class was he going to fail for the trip? Homeroom?
"He did something. He had to have. I'll admit, he is getting good at it but still." Seto's thoughts trailed off and he looked at the blank screen again. He noticed his reflection in the mirror. So tired and worn out from all-nighters. Maybe he needed this trip to relax. He did need to at least get some sleep. Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Big Brother." Mokuba poked his head in the office door. "This just came for you." He entered the room and held up and yellow envelope. He handed it to Seto who just stared at it. "What is it?"
"I don't know. Where was it?"
"It was in the mailbox, I think."
Seto started to open the envelope and looked inside before dumping the contents out on his desk. There was a sheet of cardboard that was kind of like the dividers in 24 packs of soda. Seto flipped it over to find words cut out from magazines and glued to it. Seto read it carefully.
"Seto Kaiba. Either you go on your class trip and enjoy yourself like I human being or your company will be destroyed, one way or another."
Seto hid the note from Mokuba so that he couldn't read it. Blackmail. Well sort of blackmail. Why would anyone blow up his company just because he didn't want to go on this horrible field trip.
"What's it say Seto?" Mokuba asked trying to read it although Seto wouldn't let him.
"It says that I have to go on my class trip to the beach or the company will be destroyed." Seto lied. He wanted to see if Mokuba had something to do with his teacher telling him that he was going to fail.
"I thought you were going to the mountains." Ha. Seto caught him. He never told Mokuba about the trip.
"Mokuba," Seto said in the calmest voice he could. "How did you know the trip was to the mountains? I never even told you I was going on a class trip."
"I little birdie told me?" Mokuba asked knowing he had been caught.
"Try again Little Brother." With that Seto jumped at the younger Kaiba and started tickling him. Mokuba was helpless when his brother did that but it always made him feel better to know Seto wasn't completely serious all of the time.
Meanwhile (Jou POV)
I hate going home. I just flat out hate home. Why can't I just stay with Yami and Yugi all night. Oh, right. They have "stuff" to do. So because they are in love I have to go home to the bastard.
I hate him. All he ever does is drink and yell. Yesterday I came home to him yelling at the wall, think in was me. How am I ever going to get permission for a trip if he can't even tell the difference between me and a wall.
I was nearing home when I saw it. It was the police. Third time this week and it was only Monday. What did he do know? Probably assault again. Damn I hate this.
I walked through the front doors of the apartment complex that I live in. I had to skip the first two step because they like to cave in. Sooner or later someone is just going to fall though and I ain't going to be me.
I finally reached the forth floor. My floor, hell's floor, the worst floor in history of multistory buildings.
I walked in the front door to my apartment and saw the police every which way. Some men were in the kitchen. Other's were in the bedroom. The rest of them were just wondering around making comments to each other that I was glad that I could hear.
"Are you young man who lives here?" One of the police guys walked up to me. Alright, what happened and where the hell is my dad?
"Yeah." I answered confused. What was going on here?
"Son. Your father.he.ah.he jumped out the window of your apartment. He didn't survive." I was shocked. I never though my dad was all that depressed. Honestly, I doubted he eve knew he was anywhere near a window. He was probably way too drunk to even know he was falling.
"Oh my god." I breathed out.
"Sorry son." The cop put a hand on my shoulder. I know it sounds horrible of me, but I'm kind of glad he's gone. I'm free. I'm free from him. He is never going to lay his hands on me again.
"What is going to happen to me?" I wanted to know. I needed to know. Was I going to go live with my mom and sister?
"You are going to live in a foster home. We couldn't find your mother to take you. Don't worry. Everything is being taken care of."
Ok. I was going to a foster home. That won't be so bad, will it? Who the hell am I trying to kid. This is going to be hell. No. This is going to be worse than hell.
"Son.son. You ok?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by the cop still standing in front of me.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Where will I be going exactly?" I just needed to know.
"Hang on." He grabbed a clip board and had a file attached to it. "Right. You will be going to stay with a Mr. Solomon Motou. He has a grandson around your age."
"I get to go live with Yug'." I yelled. The cop jumped a bit.
"I take it you know each other." I nodded. "Why don't you go get a few things and I'll take you over there. My work is done here." I ran off to my room to get my stuff.
(Normal POV)
"Jou. I can't believe you get to stay here with us." Yugi chirped.
"I know Yug'. This is so cool. As long as I'm not intruding on anything." Jou looked at both Yami and Yugi who shock their heads.
"Of course your not intruding." Yami stated. Then there was a knock on Yugi's bed room door.
"Boy's?" Yugi's grandfather peeked his head in the door. "I have your permission slips and your checks here" He handed out checks and signed permission slips.
"My Motou." Jou started. "I don't need any money. I already have it taken care of." The other three looked at him strangely but said nothing.
"Well. Good-night boys." With those words, Yugi's grandfather turned off the light and went back down stairs.
"Night you two." Yugi whispered. Then Yugi and Jou feel asleep. However, Yami was as awake as ever.
"I hope Kaiba takes my note seriously." Yami thought to himself. "Yugi wants him to come so I am going to make sure he does. I just want little Yugi to be happy."
Before too long, the spirit joined the others in a peaceful sleep.
A/N - Ok. I know there still hasn't been any other characters yet but don't worry. All of them are coming. Next chapter is "The Wheels on the Bus" I hope you enjoy it.
Till next chapter.
