Chapter 4
Bored
It had been a few days since they all came to the cabin Joey and Mai were downstairs talking while Alexandra and Yugi were in the kitchen making dinner. Mokuba was upstairs however; he wasn't near his brother's room but in his own with his laptop computer typing away.
Seto was in his room, since he could not walk until his leg heal, and with one good arm, he lay on the bed bored to death. He did not have any work to do, nor did he have anything to read, it was just him, in a room and some wounds.
"Damn it I am SOOOOO bored, there is nothing to do around this dump, I can't watch TV because Alexandra says I would probably smash it in with the remote, and it's down stairs anyways. What the hell am I suppose to be doing up here besides healing!" he asked the ceiling with a sigh.
"Well you could come down, stairs, if you ask nicely," said Joey with a smile, after hearing Seto Kaiba yell for the past hour. "I am not nice, to dogs Wheeler," Seto spat at him. "That is Bullshit Wheeler, I take pity from no one!" yelled Kaiba. Joey shook his head, "Fine be bored you know, I don't know why Alexandra has taken so much pity on you, you're hopeless," he said walking away from the door and shutting it.
Seto rolled his eyes, he hated the fact he had a watch dog, a midget, even though Yugi wasn't that short anymore, one CEO and co owner of his company that partially hit him upside the head, a debt he wanted to repay so badly, then some thing black and round as it sat at his bed side table. 'This looks like something to do,' he thought.
Alexandra and Yugi who were in the room below Seto just looked at each other as they heard him yell, they had moved to the library to find a cookbook now. "Alexandra are you sure you know what your doing?" asked Yugi seeing the young white hair female take a cookbook from the library shelf. "Of course Yugi and I am not taking any pity on him, just doing damage control," she said opening a book.
"Damage control, why do you say that?" asked Yugi, looking at Alexandra thumb through the book. "Yugi, don't question me about it ok, Kaiba and I go back a little alright, anyways it's bad enough that I have taken my sister's enemy into my home just so he could heal, up and get out of Domino alive," Alexandra answered closing the book. "Darn it where did I put that recipe, for chicken," whined Alexandra as she went on grabbing another book.
A male figure stood by the door with a book in hand, "Looking for this," he said. Yugi and Alexandra turned to see Atemu standing in the doorway, with the book Alexandra was looking for. "Yes actually that's it, Pharaoh, when did you get back from shopping?" asked Alexandra taking the book.
"About a few minutes ago actually, Joey said you were in here with Yugi," he said. Alexandra smiled, "Oh, then you got the chicken, after all," she said. Atemu gave a nervous chuckle, "Sort of," he said rubbing his hand behind his head. "Atemu what did you do to your hand?" asked Yugi seeing it bandaged.
Alexandra quickly grabbed Atemu's hand, "OUCH hey, ok so I bought a live chicken," said Atemu. Alexandra sighed, "Atemu, I told you buy a dead chicken, not bring home a live one," she said. "I did bring in a dead chicken, just I bought it live from the market, then let Kisara who is in the kitchen kill it, before we came inside," he said. Alexandra rolled her eyes, "please tell me you didn't just break its neck in the cabin did you?" she asked.
"Kisara helped me, ok, and no your cabin doesn't have chicken blood on it, however you may want to get the dent in the car fixed," Atemu said. Alexandra sighed, "I didn't have a dent in my car, Atemu when I gave it to you, thanks more work to be done. Where is Kisara I need to vent," Alexandra said.
"She is plucking the chicken, right now," Atemu answered. Alexandra walked out of the library and quickly walked into the kitchen. "Kisara, what are you doing?" asked Alexandra seeing her former self with a knife and plucked chicken on the table. "Making dinner," she said, "Did you get the recipe? I kind of need it right now."
Alexandra put the book down on the table, "Yeah I got it," she said, "You, almost done with that bird I am getting hungry." Kisara gave a slight chuckle, "Yes, my former future self," she said wiping her hands free of blood.
Alexandra sat in her chair, looking at the ceiling as she heard Atemu and Yugi talking with Mai and Joey in the living room. "What's on your mind?" asked Kisara, looking at her counterpart.
"Nothing just thinking, about everything," answered Alexandra putting her hands under her chin. "You look bored, out of your mind. Have you talked to Kaiba today?" Kisara asked. "You know, I don't want to talk to him, actually I want nothing to do with him," snapped Alexandra.
Kisara laughed, "Really, then why you saved his life and bring him here when you could have just let him die out in the snow?" she asked. Alexandra sighed, "Mokuba is all I can say I guess, also maybe a little guilt and pity. If I didn't knock him out when I did he wouldn't be upstairs right now, in this whole mess," she said. Kisara smiled slightly, "You shouldn't feel guilty about that, you were just protecting your sister, from what you told me," she said. "Katharine isn't my real sister you know, and she is a bitch," Alexandra said.
"I know but you seem to care about her and Kaiba or else you wouldn't be here would you now?" asked Kisara. Alexandra sighed, "I guess so," she said. Kisara laughed, "then go talk to the man he is probably bored up there, like he has been all week, you didn't give him a book from the library, nor will you let him come down stairs to watch TV or something," she said.
"You just want you and Seth back together," Alexandra said quickly. "Maybe, but I rather see his soul happy then miserable as it is up there in that room, Alexandra, and besides I am already considered Seth to be dead even if Kaiba is his reincarnation. So don't say that I am trying to put you two together because of something 5000 years ago, I was repaying a debt for him saving my life. Reminds me of that boy that saved your life however you didn't get his name," said Kisara turning to wash the chicken in the sink.
(See Japanese episode 205 for details on the rescue of Kisara and young Seto in Pharaoh's memory arc)
Alexandra rolled her eyes, "Seto Kaiba isn't Seth, and I am still looking for that boy however he probably grown into a man by now, but that's not the point, here," she said. Kisara smiled, "Oh yes, he is, just that he doesn't know what he is anymore. It's your job like it was mine in the past to have him figure out what he is now, and find his heart," she said.
"You know I wish Yugi and I didn't find you sometimes," said Alexandra. Kisara smiled, "But you and Yugi did fine me, along with Pharaoh Atem in the cave 4 years ago with the millennium sword, and yet here we are. So stop moping down here, and go talk to Kaiba upstairs, he could use the company, or some type of conversation," she said.
"Mokuba is upstairs and is Kaiba's little brother, why aren't you badgering him about Kaiba?" Alexandra said quickly. "Because he isn't down here looking bored out of his mind, like you are, not to mention he could probably use some good company. You two were close once, or you can take option two," Kisara said pointing the knife at Alexandra, "you could help me with dinner and this chicken," she said.
"Hmm, talk to the jackass up stairs, or work on a bloody bird, I take jackass over dead bird," Alexandra said walking out into the living room. "Though so," said Kisara as she finished removing the insides of the chicken.
""ATEM HELP ME IN HERE PLEASE!" yelled Kisara from the kitchen, as she yanked some organs out. Atem came into the kitchen ready to help Kisara with dinner, "Yes princess blue eyes," he said. Kisara rolled her eyes at him she really did not like that when he would say that to her, "Atem, help me here," she said, holding the chicken's stomach, "Make it gravy," she said handing it to the former Pharaoh, "OH, YAY," he said unenthusiastically, and sarcastically. (I know OOC, I am sorry but I just couldn't resist it)
Alexandra headed upstairs when she stopped at Kaiba's door, "Why the hell do I even stay here? Come on tell me you," asked Kaiba, who had finally figured out how to pass the time with the item at his bedside. Alexandra wondered who Kaiba was talking too, however it was answered moments later, "AHH stupid magic 8, ball," he cursed. Alexandra put her hand over her mouth to sniffle her laugh.
Alexandra knocked on the door, "Kaiba?" she said, opening the door. Seto looked at the door, "What do you want?" he snapped quickly hiding the eight ball he had been playing with however, not letting it leave his hand. "Oh nothing, just wanted to talk to you, and check your leg bandages the usual, to see if they are any better," Alexandra answered.
"No better then they were when you checked them yesterday and the day before that," Seto snapped at Alexandra as she walked over to his bandaged legs. "Well we got lucky that they didn't get more then cuts, when we thought it was broken, now, hold still," Alexandra barked. "OUCH Alexandra that hurts, like usual" he said pulling out the eight ball that he was hiding in his good arm.
"Ah ha, you were playing with the 8 ball," Alexandra laughed. "Shut up I was bored, what else is there to do, you won't let me do anything to pass the time other then sit here while I sit here, what else do you expect me to do?" he asked. Alexandra sighed, "I don't know maybe get you to think, about things I don't know," she said sitting next to him.
"Think about what Alexandra? My life, my old job, what I don't have anything to think about except getting my company back," Seto snapped. Alexandra smirked, "Do you really want it back? Because if you wanted it back you would have taken those pieces of paper by the lamp next to you, and made a plan," she said.
"No, it's because of my broken arm that I haven't done that," Seto said, "Besides why I would put my plans on paper in my enemy's house. When I can keep them in a safer place," he said pointing to his head. Alexandra stood up, "Do you think I wanted your company, because to be blunt Kaiba I didn't, ok. It was all Katharine's idea she used me to get to you, as she did last time just before duelist kingdom bit just after you found out that I was related to Pegasus. She used me, in order to get Mokuba and let our Uncle take over the company," she said closing her eyes in remorse.
Seto nodded, "Yeah, reason one of why I don't like you, nor trust you, because of our little duelist kingdom incident," he said, "Also you betrayed me, just before Yugi's duel with me by telling me that Yugi's Grandfather could be bought," he snapped.
"Look I am sorry there wasn't anything I could do, ok, but I didn't have a choice it was my Uncle's and sister's doing, and I am sorry I let Mokuba get captured, all those years ago," Alexandra said walking over to the snow-covered window. "If I could go back and change my position in that and this thing with Kaiba Corp, I would Kaiba, I never meant to do what I did to you and Mokuba," she said.
Seto raised an eyebrow, "You did it anyways, Alexandra that's why I think you had a few screws lose," he said. "WHAT, screws loose, look who talking Mr. Uptight," Alexandra said turning to face Kaiba.
"Look I am sorry there wasn't anything I could do, ok, but I didn't have a choice it was my Uncle's and sister's doing, and I am sorry I let Mokuba get captured, all those years ago," Alexandra said walking over to the snow-covered window. "If I could go back and change my position in that and this thing with Kaiba Corp, I would Kaiba, because I never meant to do what I did to you and Mokuba. I just wanted too get away from it all," she said.
Seto raised an eyebrow, "You did anyways, Alexandra that's why I think you had a few screws lose," he said. "WHAT, screw loose, look who talking Mr. Uptight," Alexandra said turning to face Kaiba.
"I am giving you a choice and a chance Kaiba because I owed you a favor, that's why I had Yugi and the others pull you out of the snow. You think I liked being the way I am because I do not. I wish my life was easier, ok, that I was not the niece of Maxamillon Pegasus, that I didn't have all this money at my beckoning call, I just want a normal life," Alexandra said then with a pause. "Didn't you ever want something like that something simple like a life?" she asked.
Seto leaned his head against one the pillow and looked at the ceiling, "At one time yes, but that was shattered, because someone I let get too close, betrayed me," he slowly said, "However that was wiped away in a heartbeat, after that" he said. Alexandra kept looking at the window she knew he meant her, she had gotten close to him too close just before his duel with Yugi, "Why do you say that," she asked turning around to face him, already knowing the answer but wanting to hear it from Kaiba's own lips.
Seto smirked, "I don't have to start spilling my guts to you, it's not like your Dr. Phil," he said. Alexandra shrugged, her shoulders, "Well I am just making conversation, Kaiba, you're bored, thought I could keep you busy, other then a magic 8 ball," she said, "We are both bored with the rich life. I know for I talked to Mokuba about it when he came to me after you got hurt, he still had friends check up on you at Kaiba Corp, or else I would have let you be taken to the snow to die," she said. Seto rolled his eyes, "am not bored of my life, in fact I am just fine without you trying to pry into my life," he lied about his life.
The truth was Seto was bored, lonely and tired of the life he once lived, but he would tell no one how it was. "Yeah right, liar you have that CEO smirk that you're so famous for, that you use when you lie on TV. You are bored, or else you would have found another way to entertain yourself, other then an 8 ball, that is still in your good hand, there," said Alexandra leaning close to Kaiba as she took a spot next to him.
Seto had two choices here, hit Alexandra for knocking him out a few days ago and letting him, get beaten to a pulp, or come up with a annoying statement for her to toy with, unfortunately for Kaiba, he chose hitting Alexandra with the toy he hand in his hand.
Alexandra did not see it coming as she was suddenly knocked out and landed on him, "There now were even with hits to the head," Seto said shaking his hand for the magic 8 ball he used had shattered. "Oh damn it, now what I am going to do now, I broke my 8 ball, and she's on my hurt leg, wonderful," Seto cursed himself sitting there on the bed.
Yugikid: (laughing like a manic) oh what fun torturing Kaiba, (avoids shoe from Kaiba muse)
Kaiba Muse: Pain in the butt this woman is to me (throws another shoe at Yugikid)
Yugikid: (evades shoe)
Joey Muse: Actually, you look good with a hurt leg and arm
Kaiba Muse: Shut up Dog muse
Joey Muse: YUGKID torture Kaiba more please
Yugikid: See what I have to work with anyways one with thank yous
Twilight Memories: Well the good news Seto Meets his Match's sequel, will come out someday however it isn't this story, nor will be coming very, very soon. I still need help with that sequel. When I originally wrote Seto Meets his Match, I didn't intend on making the sequel however, because of requests I am trying to come up with one and the ideas or starts are starting great however, they lack backbone if you know what I mean. If you got any idea which I could build a plot from that would be great, just send me an email. This story stands independent of Seto Meets his Match, so Kisty won't be showing up. Kisty is for Seto Meets his Match and Last Chance unless I decide otherwise, I do use many of the same characters that I input into my fanfics. Sorry that's just the way I picked them, I will probably use Kisty in my next story but to me she is more of Kaiba's daughter then love interest. Katharine is in this story however, she wasn't related to Alexandra, she just slept with whom ever she wanted to anyways, thanks for reviewing.
Oh and I did get your review for Hidden hearts it's alright when you don't review in like forever I know you are there playing catch up that I guess is my fault for multi updates however I won't be doing it to this one for I am still writing a lot of it out.
Cherry-star-aus: Thank you for noting that I am trying to keep the characters in check, except Yugi that was accidental I meant to have Joey and just Kaiba but then again Yugi can always be sweet can he?
Darkstar: The usual Kaiba eats crow, chapter lol, not really but still, I am glad you're enjoying it.
Darkblinds: Hey there and thanks for reviewing, and yes it was OOC for Mokuba and Yugi to be cursing, I meant to do that because that would mean they were older, and for that I apologize for throwing them out of character, I will try to keep them in character as long as I can. Kaiba is probably my only exception because it's hard to keep him so cold and angry all the time.
