Chapter 3
Tossing and turning in his bed, he could not manage to fall asleep. Seto banged his head on his pillow which did absolutely no damage, but also made no noise to wake up his little brother.
Seto sighed as he kicked his blankets off and rubbed his forehead as he walked into his bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror. He popped up the lever and the cold water started to run. He cupped his hands to hold in the water and threw it against his face. After a couple of times he closed it and wiped himself off with a dry towel.
Kaiba grunted. "I hate it when Mokuba is right"
Seto pulled the covers over him again and gentle laid his head on the pillow. He closed his eyes.
"Seto!" Kairi smiled.
Seto shot upright up from bed and pounded on his bed.
"This gives new meaning to the phrase.....' Every time I close my eyes I see you '" Seto couldn't take it, Mokuba describe every way he was feeling.
He rolled around in his bed for another hour and he stood up again and paced himself to the bathroom. Flipped on the lights and he stared directly into the mirror again.
"Kairi..........." Seto took the blade from his razor and looked at it. "I don't deserve to live"
He closed his eyes and he imagined Kairi playing with Mokuba. Smiling, jumping, singing, having fun, and most of all, being happy. As he lowered his hand to dream more of the beauty that he forgot one thing.
Seto's eyes widen in pain, he grasped his left risk and slid down to the floor. Seto had forgotten that he held the blade in a certain way so as when he lowered his hand to the sink it made contacted with his skin and slice it quite easily.
"This must be the part of the pain you felt Kairi" Seto titled his head until it hit the wall. He sat there covering his left risk with a towel and dreamed of how it could be.
~*~
"Big brother?" Mokuba knocked on his door.
"What Mokuba?" Seto awoke in his bathroom and answered Mokuba in his raspy voice.
"Are you coming down for breakfast?" Mokuba asked.
"In a bit" Seto lifted the towel and saw that the cut has stopped bleeding. He quickly washed the towel and the sink for the remains of his blood. He sighed as he cleaned everything up and went into his bedroom to change.
~*~
"Kairi, dear" A motherly voice knocked on the door.
Kairi moaned as she slapped the blankets off her face and looked at the clock. "Ah! I'm going to be late!"
Kairi threw her work uniform on then she ran out of her room and into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and washed her face, she fix her hair and quickly went to the kitchen.
"Kairi, you're up" Her mother said.
"I'm going to be late!" Kairi grabbed the two piece of toast that her mother handed to her and put in her mouth.
"Bye honey, what time are you getting back?" Her mother asked.
Kairi held up four fingers indicating four o'clock.
"What time does you're other job begin?" She asked again.
Kairi held up six fingers indicating six o'clock.
"Good, then we will talk then" Her mother smiled.
Kairi nodded her head then quickly ran out of the house.
~*~
"Feeling better today Seto?" Mokuba looked up as Seto was finally seen typing furiously again on his computer.
Seto didn't answer.
"Can I watch some TV big brother?" Mokuba sat lazily on his office couch.
Seto nodded.
Mokuba flipped to his favorite channel and he knew his favorite cartoon would be coming up. There was only five more minutes of the current show.
"ALL YOU DO IS WORK! THAT'S ALL YOU EVER CARE ABOUT!" The young woman shouted out of the TV.
"Please, don't be like this. You know I love you darling" The man tried to calm her down.
"Then why are you never by my side when I need you the most? Why?" The woman lowered her voice just a little bit.
The man tried to grab her to move her closer. The woman jerked her arm back with tears in her eyes.
"I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" The woman ran off leaving the man standing there tearing up.
Mokuba quickly turned of the TV. He looked over at his big brother; Seto was intensely staring at the TV.
"Sorry big brother" Mokuba afraid he caused him to be more cold and grump than usual.
"I'll wait for you outside" Mokuba quickly got up and left his office before he could say anything.
Seto looked down at his computer screen once again.
~*~
"I'm home, mom" Kairi opened the door and closed it as she took off her shoes.
"Kairi, perfect timing, the cookies were just taken out" Her mother came out into the living room with a plate and a pitcher of milk.
"Yum, thanks mom" Kairi sat down and grab for a cookie.
"Kairi, you know we love you very much" Her mother started out.
"Mommy, you're scaring me, what's going on?" Kairi took a slip of milk.
"Well, I just want you to know that what I'm going to ask you next is completely your choice, whether it may be a yes or a no, it doesn't matter at all" Kairi's mother smiled.
"Ok" Kairi nodded.
"Well, Dad's friend's son has given you this" Putting out a small gray box out in front Kairi. "Go ahead open it"
Kairi obeyed and was shocked with what she saw inside. "But...... He doesn't even know me"
"His father had told him many things about you........ And his father strongly believes that arranged marriages work out the best" Her mother explained.
"Me?" Kairi still confused.
"Yes, he asked for you're and marriage" She said with a smiled on her face.
Kairi looked at the beautiful ring for a minute.
"Remember, this is totally you're decision" She repeated.
"Has daddy ever met him?" Kairi wondered.
"Yes, he said that he is a very nice young man that is well off and finically stable....... You're dad likes him very much"
"Ok" Kairi looked down. 'I guess this is my destiny......... So why does it feel so wrong?'
"You don't have to make us happy....... you never once made us mad, angry, or gave us sorrow or made us worry about you..... you never once lied to us.......... What you say we'll be happy for you" Her mother reassured her.
Kairi looked up and smiled at her mother. "If he's everything you said and more then I should be honor and grateful that he choose a girl like me"
"You really are the best daughter in the world"
