Chapter 7: Sabotage

-4 Days till the 21st-

The early morning sun peaked over the bushes of the outside maze. Huddled into a little ball Nakuru slept after wandering around for most of the night looking for the mansion. The early morning rays showered the animal in yellows and golds, she slept peacefully as a shadowed figure walked toward her. As the man dressed in a guards uniform walked up to the animal, Nakuru gave a small twitch moving her paw to reveal part of the disk she was laying on. The man gazed down at the cat and smiled. He gently kneeled down and started to pick the cat up.

Nakuru felt herself get picked up, she was so exhausted from the day before. She had to force her eyes open. They were fogged over because she was so sleepy, and now she couldn't rub them. After waiting for the fog to clear from her eyes she gazed up into the face of Luke. He smiled down at the cat, his face painted in the golden rays from the sun. Nakuru felt like she couldn't move.

Luke held her in his left hand, when he picked her up high enough he grabbed the disk with his remaining hand holding it up to show Nakuru. "Everyone has been looking for this you know?" He questioned the cat. "It would be a shame if Mr. Kaiba didn't get a chance to debug it." Luke gave a slight chuckle and then headed through the maze. Obviously he knew his way out because they were in front of the mansion within minutes. Each step Luke took Nakuru felt weaker and weaker.

She was a cat, what could she do? She was also too tired from running around yesterday to try and pry out of Lukes iron grip. He was going to give the disk back to Kaiba, then Kaiba would test out his product and he would die. Nakuru wanted to cry, she wanted to get out of this body so she could do something, but the longer she stayed this way the more she was convinced she was never going to change back.

Luke reached the door and rang the doorbell. Nakuru could hear the sound echo throughout the mansion from the outside of the door. Surprisingly Mokuba came to the door, he looked as tired as Nakuru felt, she guessed he was looking for her all night. When his eyes fell on her she knew she was right. "Nakuru, I have been looking all night for you!" He exclaimed as he swept her from Luke's grasp.

"I found her in the maze, master Kaiba. She was also found with this." Luke held up the disk for Mokuba and then handed it to him.

Mokuba shifted Nakuru into his left arm and took the disk from Luke with his other, "Thanks, my brother will be very grateful."

"I'm sure he will." Luke replied. He then bowed to Mokuba and left.

Mokuba closed the door after Luke and then smiled down at Nakuru, "Good thing we got this back huh? Or you would have been in trouble." He ran to Seto's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Seto, look what one of the guards found." Mokuba said as he skipped to his brothers side and presented him with the disk.

Seto looked up from his computer and stared at the disk. A relief filled smile on his face as he gently took the disk from Mokuba, eyeing Nakuru as he did so. He didn't want that cat to get its paws on his disk again. "Thanks Mokuba."

As Kaiba took the disk from his brother Nakuru just wanted to die right there on the spot. She didn't do anything but delay Kaiba from killing himself by one day, if she even delayed him at all. Things just weren't going right for her.

"Hey Seto?"

Seto directed his attention to his brother. "What is it Mokuba?"

"Now that you got the disk for good, do you want to sort of… I don't know… celebrate? We could go swimming or something."

Seto smirked, his brother did have a point. They got the disk, he would have 4 days till the test trial, he could spend some time with his brother. "Sure Mokuba, swimming sounds good." With that said Seto placed the disk into his computer and then got up from his chair.

Mokuba was so excited that he jumped for joy, quickly placing Nakuru down on the desk and then grabbing Seto's hand only to drag him off to the pool.

Nakuru could have laughed at the irony of it all. Here she was on the point of having a break down because nothing was going her way and now she was all alone in Kaiba's office with computer access right at her paws. She wanted to jump for joy just like Mokuba had a few moments ago. But she contained herself, she had to get that e-mail to Kaiba right away. As quick as she could Nakuru set herself down in front of the keyboard and started typing up the e-mail to Kaiba. About 45 minutes later, (it does take longer to type with paws), she had it all typed out and ready to send. The e-mail read:

Dear Mr. Kaiba,

I hope you realize that the disk we took from you this past week has a little surprise on it. I know how much you like surprises, and this one will be something to DIE for. The 21st will definitely be a day to remember, it will be the day of your downfall as President of Kaiba Corp.

Your Guard,

Luke

Nakuru read over the e-mail, it wasn't long or original but it was informative. She had to make it believable, she couldn't have just written him something that said "You're going to die on the 21st because there's something on that disk you just found!" And putting the name of who was actually behind it would raise some suspicion she was sure. After all Kaiba wasn't stupid, Nakuru was sure he would get the "to DIE for" hint.

After feeling satisfied with the letter Nakuru sent it and headed on her way out to the pool area. The two Kaiba brothers were throwing a ball back and forth in the pool and trying to splash one another in the process, or at least Mokuba was. Nakuru sat herself at the edge of the pool glancing around the backyard when she heard Mokuba, "Oh sorry Seto I think I hit that too high." Nakuru turned back to the two at the perfect moment to watch Seto jump out of the water to hit the ball. Her jaw nearly hit the floor as she glanced at his perfect chest that was now glittered with water. Her stomach twisted into a knot and she felt like she couldn't breath as her eyes stayed glued onto the now delicious looking CEO.

Nakuru felt a sudden emotion fill her chest but she quickly pushed it away. There was no way she could feel anything for the older Kaiba, she wouldn't admit that she was slowly falling in love with him. So as she denied the feelings she felt for him she just watched as the two continued to play until night fall.

A cold breeze played its way across the backyard. Night was falling and the two brothers were getting tired. Seto decided it was time to go inside, he wrapped himself and Mokuba in towels and they both headed inside with Nakuru following them. The mansion was pitch black inside and Seto had to search for a light switch. He flicked on the lights in the living room and closed the door to the backyard as Mokuba bounced to a couch. On the couch Mokuba curled into a ball and rested his head on one of the arms on the end of the sofa. Seto sat himself next to his brother and they both drifted off to sleep.

Nakuru watched the two for a few moments before curling up on Kaiba's lap, as she started to drift to sleep one last thought filtered through her mind, I'm really going to miss this whenever I turn back into the old me.
