Hello readers, I decided because I was bored out of my mind, that and I just wanted to get this story moving along for everyone, so please forgive me as I am now uploading a chapter 1 day earlier then planed. I hate waiting for others but I kind of see why they do it, lol, more wait more reviews atleast that's what I have seen, but anyways, here it is, as asked for. I will address my reviewers with thank yous in the next chapter that will be out as of Friday night around midnight, my time. So Saturday morning after Yugioh you can read more of the story.
Heads up, this chapter has Kaiba kind of out of character however I think you will laugh at why. Oh and nobody caught the hint that at the airport when they were switching planes that Kaiba was in a dress wig and crutches? I personally thought that was funny, when I wrote it guess a few didn't share my sense of humor. Anyways ENJOY the chapter, oh and the total chapter count is 21 on my computer as of right now so we have a long way to go now, so in about 20 weeks this story will finish that's if I don't go upload crazy.
Chapter 7
Hiding
Seto and Alexandra drove up a high mountain road until they came to a small side road; they drove up the rocky road to a large brown house. It had barn and large apple tree on the sides of the house, well hidden from passing cars. A brown gate surrounded the apple tree, and small lawn yard. The bottom of the house appeared to have once been the garage however, it was converted to a living space, where the washer and dryer were in its own room, and with two refrigerators in front of the door to the washer room would, making a great hiding space for some one if needed.
A glass door would lead to the lawn yard, while a side door lead up some stairs to the main part of the house where two master bedrooms, kitchen and living room were. A balcony surrounded the upper level of the house. It was small to mansion standards however; this was to be a good place to hide so a house it was.
"When did you buy this dump?" asked Kaiba stepping out of the car. Alexandra did not say anything she had listened to Kaiba complains in the car all the way there, and she was tired of it after being on the run with him for about a few weeks now, they never really talked except to argue, and now wasn't the time. "Look, would rather I leave you to my sister, because that can still be arranged," she snapped at him. Seto shook his head that last thing he wanted to be was dead and Alexandra knew that as well, after all he re injured his leg to the point where he was still on the crutches.
"Fine, I will shut up," he said pulling out his crutches, and putting on under his bad arm which was almost healed to just scraps however he still winched from it time to time. Since he was practically leaning on the car, itself he had to hop to get his crutches. Alexandra walked over to the side door and looked at Kaiba, "You might want to get out of there before the garage door closes leaving you trapped," she said. Seto hobbled out of the garage and followed Alexandra inside the first level of the house, "this is your new home, my place is upstairs, this house is big enough to hold quite a few people its better then the cabin and the motel rooms, so it will have to do," she said.
"Why do I have to sleep in this basement?" Seto asked using his ungrateful voice. "Look until your leg is better I can't risk you falling down the stairs, get that through your bone head," Alexandra said showing Seto to his new room or to him his cell.
A large bed took up most of the small room; a window was behind it, and vanity next to the door. "It's not much for now, but when your leg is better I will have you stay in one of the master bedrooms, upstairs, with a bigger bed," Alexandra said watching Kaiba take a seat on the bed. "SO what I am to do down here while you're upstairs?" he asked. Alexandra sighed, "Well you will be happy to know there are a few work benches out here with some wood and stuff, two refrigerators with food, washer and dryer next to those is a bathroom to use, along with a little TV, I am sure you can find away to keep your self busy now that your moving around."
Seto shook his head, "Let me rephrase the question, how am to talk to you when your upstairs if I need something," he said. Alexandra rolled her eyes and picked up the phone just outside the room door, "This is how you get a hold of me, there are two phone lines in the house meaning you can call me from down here if you need something, only if need it, not want Seto Kaiba," she said.
"The number for upstairs in on the phone so you can call me and I will pick it up, however abuse this privilege and I won't answer it and you can wait until I am ready to talk to you again," Alexandra said hanging up the phone. "Fine, so what am I suppose to work with if there are work benches," he said.
Alexandra shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know surprise, you're the child genius I am sure you will think of something. Now excuse me I am heading upstairs to prepare my room then, I am going to get some supplies, for my hair. Not too many people have blue and white hair up here except the old folks, so I am going to be getting some hair dye, is there anything beside some clothes that you're going to need while I am out," she said.
Seto shook his head, "Just a change of clothes would be nice," he said moving uncomfortably in his skirt and shirt, that he was forced to wear when they switched airports, in California. "Ok, I will head upstairs and see what I can get for you," she said walking out of the room.
Seto took a few minutes to look at the lower level he was now staying in he could see a huge room, with a few tables, supports for the upper level in various spots. A chair with a small TV in front of it, and two work brown workbenches, built into the wall, with windows that looked outside towards the apple tree and lawn yard. Seto could see stairs that lead from the outside to the second level of the house through one of the windows.
Seto heard footsteps as Alexandra opened the side door that leads to the second level from the inside. "I found some clothes, it's not much but they should fit," said Alexandra handing Seto the clothes. Seto took the clothes and headed back to his room where he proceeded to change.
Alexandra sighed, as she walked back up the 15 stairs to her room, which was at the top of them. Alexandra room started with a small hallway, which was actually a part of the closet wall, as you turn the corner you see the closet door, a medium sized TV a very large king size bed in the middle of the room with a window above it, and a vanity that was parallel to the door that you walk through.
Alexandra had her own bathroom, that's door was on the same wall as the closet door and the TV. A sliding glass door was on the wall to the right of the door if you were sitting on the bed. Alexandra walked over to the bed; she then picked up some of her things that she had brought up when she arrived with Kaiba.
She opened the book that she had been writing it, "Well here I am again, in the place were I was born my birth parent's house, at the top of the hill. I bought Seto Kaiba with me, for reasons that I am not ready to say, but reasons enough to say that I will never like him. He insulted my parent's house, thinking I bought this place, from someone, even though my grandfather built the place with his own two hands and my parents bought it from him, still all the same," she write and read aloud.
(Small note the place that Seto and Alexandra are in does actually exist to my knowledge near Sandpoint, Idaho, it was owned by my grandparents until we sold it because of their health so my description are from what I remember, and the place looked liked when I would visit. Alexandra's room was my grandparents' room, Seto's room for now was my brothers, and the second master bedroom was my parents or mine anyways on with the story)
Alexandra wrote some more in her journal before she heard the phone next to bed ring, she answered it, "Yes, Kai," she said. "How did you know it was me?" asked Kaiba down stairs. Alexandra held in her giggle, "Because you're the only person with the number to the second line that's how I know that and people think this place is abandoned. What is it?" she asked.
Seto paused, "Well I need you to pick a few things because the refrigerators down here are empty," he said. Alexandra rolled her eyes she had checked the refrigerator in the kitchen on the second level however forgot to check the ones on Seto's level. "Fine I will bring down some food anything you need to eat?" she asked being careful not to say want because food was a need not a want.
"Yeah," he said and started to say his list of food, Alexandra wrote it all down on a notepad, that she had next to the phone. The list, was not anything fancy actually more of the simple meal food like vegetables, snacks, and fruits, lots of fruit actually.
"Anything else?" asked Alexandra after reading off the list, to Seto for the 30th time. "Yeah, actually but umm," he said then with a long pause, Alexandra though about what Kaiba could ask for other then food, "I need some more clothes," he said.
Alexandra shook her head she knew the clothes she gave Seto would fit, however Alexandra didn't' think in term of boxer or briefs. "What? I just gave you some clothes and I have extras in my closet if you need more, Kai," she said. "No not those kinds of clothes, man clothes," he spat. Alexandra did not get it just yet but she knew the black shorts and shirt she gave Kaiba were very masculine, "No, not outer clothes inner clothes," he almost yelled into the phone.
Alexandra then put it together, "Oh underwear, why can't you just spit it out," she asked him. "Because, I am a guy we don't just say what we want that's why. Especially to the opposite sex," he snapped. Alexandra nodded, "Fine I will pick up some briefs, for you…!" "NO, I need boxers, that way I can at least know something is free, to move when I walk!" he said.
Alexandra rolled her eyes, "What, size do you," she began to ask. "Surprise, me," he snapped, "I am not telling you my boxer size," Seto spat then hung up the phone. Alexandra laughed a little as she hung up her end of the phone, "Well at least I know he will be in boxers," she said with a smile then getting off the bed to get the things they needed.
