The Tides Have Turned By Duckie4rmabove

Chapter 2

Kaiba pushed the door open while it was inching along the driveway, impatient for letting the driver completely stop the car he walked off and headed for the Kaiba mansion.

Mokuba followed right behind him as he was worried about his big brother. "Seto"

Seto ignored his little brother and walked up the stairs to enter his room. He closed and locked the door assuring that Mokuba or anyone else cannot bother him. He read the clock and threw his suitcase on his bed.

Walking up slowly to his window he stared out. "Why did you leave?"

"Mommy!" Kairi walked in the house.

"In here honey" The sweet voice came from the kitchen.

"Here you go" Kairi put the bag of food down on the table and came up behind her mother to see what she was cooking.

"Thank you" Kairi's mother said as she turned around to face her beautiful daughter. Though they didn't look anything alike, they were still mother and daughter by law.

"Mommy, what's this?" Kairi pointed to the first thing on the list that she had given her.

"Did you get one?" Kairi's mother grin.

"No" Kairi pouted her lips.

"Why not? I haven't seen you with a boy ever since we adopted you" She recalled.

"Mom" Kairi whined.

"I just want you to find a nice young man to bring to dinner so we can meet him" She teased.

"I don't want to!" Kairi whined like a baby.

"Honey, I'm home" A man of the house walked in.

"In here" Kairi and her mother synchronize.

"Ah........ the two most beautiful woman....... That I love so much" He came up putting his things down on the dinner table.

"Daddy" Kairi smiled.

"Sweetie" Kairi's mother replied.

"What are you guys up to?" He asked as he walked up to join their conversation.

"Nothing.... oh no...... I better get ready for work or else I'm going to be late" Kairi glanced at her watch.

"Dinner will be done once you come down" Her mother told her as she went to her room.

"How's she doing?" Kairi's father made sure she was gone.

"She's fine" Her mother answered.

"Look" The man pulled out a small box and open it to reveal a diamond ring.

"Honey?" Kairi's mother very surprise and confused.

"It's for Kairi" He reassured.

"What do you mean?" Kairi's mother closed the container full of food and put it in a bag for Kairi to take.

"Our Kairi would look beautiful in that wedding dress" He smiled.

"Someone asked for our Kairi's hand and marriage?" She finally fully understood.

"Yes........ But I'm not sure if Kairi would want an arrangement marriage" He closed the box.

"That is true....... If we tell her about it...... She'll do whatever that makes us happy" Kairi's mother sighed.

"This is a nice young man....... Well off and finically stable...... From what his father had told him about Kairi he has already fallen in love with her" He heard footstep coming down the stars so he quickly stuffed it back in his pocket.

"Ok..... I'm off to work" Kairi came in wearing her work uniform. She kissed her mother and father on the cheek and grabbed the bag that held her dinner and left.

"As long as I always see that smile on her face" Kairi's mother smiled.

Seto was disgusted with his food. "What is this? Can I not get decent food around her? I paid you all so why do you continue to disgust me?"

"Seto calm down........ This use to be your favorite" Mokuba tried to duck out of the way as he threw the dish back at the cook.

"Don't bother making anything else....... I'm not hungry anymore" Seto stood up from his place of the table and headed for his room again.

Mokuba watched his big brother in turmoil leave the table and walk up the stairs, probably going to his room again. He locked himself up in his room ever since they came home and had only come down recently to have dinner.

Seto locked his door and once again sat on his bed. Shaking his head he began to angry himself. "Why did you run away from me?"

*FLASHBACK

"I don't want to hear it! I don't! NO!" Kairi refused to listen anymore she ran off.

"Wait! Kairi! No! Kairi! Wait!" Seto screamed after her.
