Chapter Nine

Overture

The darkness is frightening. Especially when you're all alone. And you're panicking. And you're searching for someone who can't be found.

Then he woke up and realized it was true.

And that's why he took off.

Never before in her life had she seen a boy like the one sitting in the road 10 feet from her. His appearance was, at first sight, quite grotesque: His hair and clothes were caked in mud, his shirt was ripped and bloody scratch had appeared on his back.

The rain poured down.

"Mokuba-Sir?" Marie-Ann walked towards him. "Mokuba-Sir, it's me, Marie-Ann." As she got closer she could see he was crying.

"Go away, Marie-Ann!"

She said, all formality gone, "Oh, I wish the rain would stop- you're soaked through."

"Let the rain fall!" He stood up quickly as he said this, and turned to face her, his raging eyes never leaving her, each breath deep and sharp. The only other sound was that of the rain, pouring down so thick and fast that even Marie-Ann was soaked.

Mokuba had stopped crying.

He looked ready to kill her.

All of a sudden she saw him bow his head and before she knew it, he was crying again.

"It was his favourite thing." He said through tears. "When it rained, nothing else mattered. I like him more when it rained, he said," he cried even harder, struggling to get the words out, "he said, that the rain…the rain was our parents' tears, and that they were crying cuz they missed us. And that, if we let it fall on us, then they'd know we missed them too.
But there's no rain in Heaven, so how are they meant to know? If I cry now nobody knows, not even Seto, cuz he's up in Heaven too now, so, Mum and Dad aren't gonna miss him now. Maybe now they've got him they'll forget all about me?"

"No they won't, they could never forget you."

"But how could they? In Heaven, no one's sad." His voice getting louder. "And now I have no family left, first Mum and Dad, then Noa, then Gozaburo, and now Seto." His voice had steadily risen and now reached its fantastic crescendo.

"If they all love me so much how come they all leave?" He collapsed, in a fit of tears, into Marie-Ann's arms and wept.

"Sshhh, it's all right honey, I'll always be here."

"But I'll never see him again!"

"Sure you will." She let out a little chuckle at this.

"But sinners don't go to Heaven."

"Sinners." She replied confused. "What, y-you haven't done anything wrong." She was astonished at what he'd said.

"But I didn't save Seto. I could have done something!"

"Oh sweetheart there was nothing you could do; it took the police three weeks to find him." She played with his hair as she said this, but he didn't respond to her comfort.

"But I could have done something. I should have done something. I killed him."

"Don't be silly," she laughed again, "the murderers are behind bars, they'll never do something like this again."

"But why did it have to happen to Seto? They could have done it to anyone else and it would have been fine. I don't even know how he died!"

This shocked Marie-Ann, she stopped playing with his hair and instead took him by the shoulders so he was looking at her as she spoke to him. "Mokuba, I kinow you're upset but never ever say that. NEVER wish death on anyone. You really do deserve to go to Hell for saying that. Don't you ever, ever let me hear you say that again. Ok?2 she shook his shoulders a little bit. "Ok?"

This stunned Mokuba into silence. "I'm sorry!" and he burst into tears. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm s-or-rry!" He sunk his head into her big bosom and let it all out.

"We regret to announce that the body of Seto Kaiba has been found. Seto, the CEO of KaibaCorp, went missing three weeks ago near Domino bridge. His body was found by policemen early this morning."
