Lost and Found: Run Mokuba, Run!
By Juel Haruna
Previously...
The two boys shook hands, and Mokuba climbed out of the vent and dropped to the ground on the side of the building. It was very dark now, there was no one in sight.
With one quick wave to Ted, he dashed around the corner and down the street. He was going to be with his brother soon, he felt it.
Now on to da disclaimer, Author's Notes, and show...
Heheh . . . . . yeah…
I'm sorry I took so long to update again. I'm just so darn lazy. Plus, school's started and we've had lots of work to do.…. (smiles) I guess that's not a good excuse though. So here I am, on the weekend, finally typing the next chap for this fic (My sister's been nagging me to finish this). I've read all my reviews and I guess you all are nagging me to finish this as well…Heheh, geez, is it that good of a story?
Oh well, I'm glad to have such energetic readers! Thank you all for your reviews (good or not)!
Here is the very LONG awaited 6th and LAST chapter. Read and Review!
Chapter 6... "Found"
He was very tired. So tired. Zzzzzzzzzz…
"Kaiba? Kaaaiiiiibaaaaa? . . . Are you sleeping?"
Seto popped open his eyes to the rude awakening of Yugi's huge purple eyes staring back at him.
"You know, I really don't want to wake up to the little 'pharaoh' in my face…"
Yugi backed off. They were both sitting in the car, soaking in the early morning sun that shone through the windows. Yugi and Seto had been searching for Mokuba all night.
"Hey Mutou, what time is it?"
Yugi checked his watch, "Uh…it's 8:36. Kaiba, where are we?"
Seto looked out the window. He scanned the area for some sign of a street or highway. Surprisingly, there was nothing to be seen except for a bunch of trees, a fancy driveway, and a very tall, brick fence.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like private property." Seto rubbed his eyes. He was still very tired.
Seto leaned his head against the steering wheel. How could he let themselves get lost when Mokuba hadn't even been found yet. He sighed.
Click.
Seto looked up and noticed the car door closing on the opposite side.
"Mutou, where are you going?"
Yugi stood on tiptoe attempting to read the rusty iron plank.
"Um, Kaiba, you might want to see this."
Seto groaned, "What now…?"
Against his will, he stepped out of the Limo and walked over to where Yugi was standing. Then he froze.
"This, this is…"
Mokuba had been following the road for hours. The background went from cement and lights to trees and grass. While his face was red with exhaustion, he kept walking on.
"This isn't good, I'm even more lost that I was before! Every thing's just going from bad to worse…"
Mokuba couldn't stand it. He felt confused of where to go, he felt miserable without Seto, and he felt stupid for leaving the safety and company of his own home.
And all because he assumed he wasn't wanted.
Lost in his train of thought, he stumbled over something on the ground.
"Ow! What the…"
He picked up what seemed to be a dusty brick. Mokuba glanced to his left at a tall hedge of bushes.
"Interesting thing to put on the side of a highway."
Mokuba tried to get through the bush, but to his astonishment, there was a wall of concrete right behind it.
Mokuba climbed up the bushes and over the wall. He hopped down to see a big pasture and a huge building in the distance.
"Whoa . . . . that place is just about the size of our mansion."
Mokuba wandered out to the old, weathered building. There was a small hole in the back wall, just barely big enough for him to fit through.
He crawled inside and looked around. The interior was very dusty, and it looked like it had not been lived in for years. He ran his finger through some soot inside a fireplace, someone used to live here and they had been gone for some time.
Mokuba longed to explore, but he knew he had to find his way home.
"Maybe for just a little while…" He thought as he climbed the many stairs.
"I can't believe this place has been here for so long."
Seto observed the many tiles and paintings on the walls as he stepped into the entrance hall of the old mansion, "I thought they would have torn this place apart after we left."
"Well, I guess that tells us about architecture . . ." Yugi poked a vase standing on a side table, "How can someone find so much stuff to put in these places? It's huge!"
"Something I like to call E-bay." (AN: Just kidding!)
"Kaiba, did you just make a joke?"
"No. I answered your question with a hint of sarcasm . . . big world, lot's of money." (AN: Okay, sorry, I'm just being dumb right now…)
Yugi sighed, "You know, money isn't everything."
SMASH!
A small vase fell to the floor and Kaiba stiffened up, "Don't you think I know that by now? After being raised in an orphanage and suffering from the loss of my only brother? Yeah, I have a bad attitude, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to love my own family!"
" . . . I didn't mean anything by it."
"What ever . . . just be quiet, it's not like I enjoy talking to you anyway."
Sigh . . . . . . .
So many rooms, so many secrets, so much to see. Mokuba was on at least the third floor and he had been in almost all of the rooms on the levels below.
"This is so neat . . . but why do I feel that I've been here before?"
Mokuba walked into a room filled with books. It was a very damp and dark room, with cobwebs and mold in every corner. This room had sort of an eerie feel to it.
"Kind of spooky…maybe I should leave—"
He stopped at the sight of a dusty book on one of the shelves. He lifted the book off the shelf and blew of the dirt. Mokuba opened the book, and to his immediate horror, he saw-
"The Kaiba Family Corporation?"
Mokuba had been standing in the old Kaiba residence!
"I have been here before…"
His memories were going wild! Remembering the tall, cruel man that they called their adopted father. Remembering the evil he inflicted on people. Remembering too much at one time! Pegasus, Alaster, Yugi . . . . . . . Seto . . .
All of a sudden, three crows shot out from a hole behind the book shelf, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
The birdsscreeched a horrible cry! Mokuba dropped the book and fled from the room.
"Did you hear that?" Asked Yugi.
"It sounded like Mokuba! Let's go!"
Together, Seto and Yugi rushed up the stairs.
Mokuba had just tripped and fell when he heard running feet.
"Mokuba! Mokuba where are you?"
There was a burst of hope in Mokuba for the first time!
"Seto? Big brother is that you?"
He picked himself up just as Seto reached the top of the stairs.
"Mokuba!"
"SETO!"
The two united brothers hugged warmly.
"Seto, I missed you so much! I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for being such a pain! . . . I left and made you worry..."
"Mokuba, you were never a problem to me at all! No matter what happens, I will always want you by my side! Brothers stick together, ... we're brother's, right?"
Mokuba smiled, "Yeah, we're brothers!"
Yugi finally made it up the stairs and when he got there, he saw Seto give Mokuba the biggest hug he had ever given anybody in his life . . . .
. . . and trust me, Seto Kaiba didn't normally give many hugs!
The End (wink)
Okay, I am now officially FINISHED WITH THIS FANFIC! Now all I have to do is finish everything else that's sitting in the dust… (smile) Well, I hope you guys liked that little piece. It wasn't a MASTERPIECE, that's for sure, but I enjoyed the time that I worked on it. Once again, I apologize for the very long wait. I was going to do more, but then I thought 'Yeah, give em another chap and procrastinate the finale even longer!' Trust me guys, this is for the best. I'm surprised that this is the most popular fic that I've done. (Does nobody like Memories Leave a Burning Pain?) Oh well, at lease I know I'm loved… I'll work on a longer story someday, I've just got to find better material. So, I leave this here, thank you guys for all you're awesome reviews! Reviewers are what make us writer peoples happy! So tata, and remember…
Review!
