Accidentally In Love
Chapter 15: Not the home I used to know
"What?"
"You need to tell me your birthday."
Seya looked at his uncle, confusion clear on his face. "Why?"
"Seya no baka...I need to know your birthday in order to calculate when's the date you're consummated." Mokuba replied. Seya nodded in understanding.
'It's a good thing I told him that I'm from the future...or else I won't be born on the new one.'
"October 25. My father and I share the same birthday."
Mokuba looked at him wide eyed. Doing quick calculations in his mind, he, more or less, knew why Seya's born.
He's a gift...to Jou.
'Some kind of a gift. Coming back from the future to ruin it.' Mokuba sighed bitterly.
"Well, good luck Seya. I hope you'll be contented with the new future you've created." at that, Mokuba left. Seya just shrugged before entering his room.
He lay on the bed and took one last look on his room before closing his eyes.
'Tomorrow...I'll be back home.' with a smile, he drifted off to dreamland.
Seya opened his eyes in his room and groan.
'I didn't left. Stupid...now I'm stuck in the past!' he thought as he look on his bare room. It's the same when he slept that night.
He tossed to his side when he finally noticed a change. In his side table was a frame. In it was a picture of him and his father.
"Wha-?" he stood up, got the frame and ran out of his room.
He arrived in front of huge oak doors, gasping for breath. He's about to knock when a stern voice came from the inside.
"What in Ra's name made you ran like the horses from hell were after you? And I told you, countless times before, no running in the hallways!"
"Can I come in Father?" he asked after his father scold him yet again.
"Come in." at that, he opened the door, revealing Kaiba Seto, now in his late thirties but still held the regal posture everyone feared.
"What do you want son?" he asked while looking over the latest contract concerning Kaiba Corp. that, in the past twenty years, still one of the top companies in the world, this time not only concentrated on gaming innovations but other electronics as well.
"I want to ask about this." he showed the picture to his father. Kaiba looked at it before raising an eyebrow.
"It's a picture of us."
Seya sighed before walking towards his father's desk, looking at Seto with determined eyes.
"Where's my mother? Why isn't she there?"
Seto looked at him, disbelief evident in his blue eyes.
"What?"
"Please father...I want to know. Where's my mom?" blue eyes stared into another pair of blue eyes.
A moment of silence before he heard his father's laugh. Not the kind where you could laugh with it but the kind where you'll feel as the most insignificant insect in the planet.
Just then, his father became serious.
"Kaiba Seya, I don't know what you're playing at but I've had enough. You've got about two hours before going to school and you're here spouting nonsense. Go get ready. You're just wasting my time with crap. Now leave." His father pointed at the door. Seya stood up, utterly humiliated. His father might be cruel and sometimes cold but he never did that to Seya. He never treated him the way he treat other people. To Seya, he's a father.
Saddened because of the scene with his father, he didn't noticed someone was right infront of him until he bumped into it.
The hooded figure looked at him, recognition twinkled in his dark eyes.
"Ow! Um…I'm sorry." He apologized but a strong hand seized him in his arms before pulling him towards an empty room.
"Wha--?" he's cut off once again when the person he'd bumped into put his other hand over his mouth. He dragged him towards a door, opened it and throws Seya inside.
"Who do you think you are! I'm Kaiba Seya and…uncle!" Seya's eyes widen as the cloaked figure took off his hood revealing dark hair tied in a pony and his uncle's matured face.
"Long time no see Kaiba Seya or should I call you Yuki Seya?"
"And that's the whole story." Seya finished telling Mokuba, now a grown man, and the events that happened that morning. Mokuba listened to him before breaking a smile.
"You knew your father was a no nonsense person so don't be angry"
"I was humiliated and if I didn't knew better, I'd say father's a different person." Seya commented.
At that, Mokuba's smile disappeared. "You're right. He IS a different person now."
"What? How?" Seya looked at the older man with confused eyes.
"When you changed that past, you've created a whole new future. Nothing from your future's the same with this future."
Seya eyed him silently, contemplating on his uncle's words.
"And for the record, you don't have a mother. Your father never married and you were here because your father needed an heir. Of course, I was the one who suggested the IVF to him and just have an egg donor. I timed it with the time you're suppose to be made that's why I asked your birth date twenty years ago. You're a test tube baby Seya."
Seya was speechless. This revelation shook him to the core. His father didn't marry? Then he never had a mother and he came from an artificial womb. No matter what he does, he's still a freak. Just then, a thought occurred to him.
"Where's my—I mean, where's Jou"
------------------------------
Learning what happened from Mokuba, he walked across the field of his school, Domino High, silently hoping that things didn't change that much.
He walked past Kevin's gang expecting to be teased but not a word came from the said group. They just lowered their heads as if afraid of him.
Well, that's one change he liked.
Reaching his classroom, he noticed that neither Ren, Daisuke nor Yuki was in his class.
'What if we're not friends this time?' he thought. He do like some changes but he doesn't want to lose his friends! Standing up, not paying attention to his teacher, Seya walked out the door, determined to find his friends.
'This can't be happening…No…it can't be…' Seya told himself as he read the report he got.
"Seya, what's that you're holding?" Mokuba as he saw Seya trembling as he came back from school.
"Uncle…you're right. I've changed the future…I…I…made my friends disappeared!" Seya collapsed on the floor, crying his guilt out.
Seya sat on his bed, silently looking at the 3D picture of him and his friends from the card pendant he had given to Mokuba.
"The reports you've read were true. Bakura Ren, Honda Daisuke and Motou Yuki never existed. And I think I know why." Mokuba looked at him with sad eyes.
"Huh"
"I think they never existed because you've separated your parents. I think you did not only broke a promising relationship but also changed other's future." Mokuba gazed at his nephew with tired eyes.
Seya looked at his uncle before lowering his gaze. Because of his selfishness, his friends didn't exist. And worse, something inside of him was killing him just knowing that Yuki wasn't there.
"You're so focused on breaking your parent's apart you didn't saw the bigger scale. You didn't noticed that there are other people's lives connected to the lives you've just ruined." Mokuba's pain filled voice was like salt being rubbed in an open wound.
"I need to know exactly how. I need to know why did my friends was never born just because my parents broke up."
"You could ask their parents. But what good will it does? Do you think you could change the future now?"
"I don't know but something's telling me I need to do this. I need to know so that when I'm about to decide, I won't have any regrets." Seya looked at his uncle, showing his stubbornness.
"Why don't you start tomorrow? I could talk to your principal to excuse you. After all, you've only got two days left before you'll decide whether to change or not your future. I just hope you'll choose wisely." At that, Mokuba stood up and left.
His first stop was Honda Hiroto's mechanic shop.
"What do you want Kaiba?" a grown up Honda asked with indifference.
"You know me?" Seya's eyes widen in delight but that small hope was snuff by the brown haired man's next remark.
"Of course! Everybody knows Kaibastard and his son. Now, if you don't have anything sensible to say, the door is wide open. Your father's not the only one who values his time." At that, Honda turned to the car he's fixing earlier.
Seya looked at him before leaving. But he still have two more to go and hopefully one of them holds the answers he's been looking for. He smiled for the new hope.
His next stop was the Kame Game Shop.
"Welcome! May I get you—oh! Kaiba-san, what brings you here?" not much had change with Yugi, he just had grown taller maybe the height of Yami's, but still held the aura of a bright light.
"Motou Yugi, right?" Seya as he stood before the tri-colored haired man.
"Yes. What can I do for you?" Seya noticed that Yugi's smile lack the intensity unlike the first time he saw it.
"I want to talk to you."
Yugi frowned in confusion but neverthless nodded.
"About what?"
"About Jonouchi Katsuya and Yami Atemu."
At the mention of the names, Yugi turned his back. After a few seconds, he turned to Seya again, eyes a bit red.
"I'm sorry but I can't entertain you today. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after that. I'm sorry but please leave." Yugi walked towards the door, opening it for Seya.
"But...ok. Thanks for your time." Seya sighed knowing he had hurt the man infront of him just by saying those names.
Well, there's still Domino University where Ryou Bakura teaches.
---------------------------
"Sir, someone here who wanted to speak with you." a collage student peeked on Ryou's homeroom.
Ryou, who also matured, look at the student signalling him to let his visitor in. The student nodded before calling Seya.
As Seya entered Ryou stood up.
"Jou!" he exclaimed. He goes toward him but noticed the difference between Seya and his friend.
"Sorry, I'm not Jou." Seya smiled at him. Ryou composed himself before signing Seya to sit down.
"I'm the one who should be sorry. What can I do for you uh--"
"Kaiba Seya. Please call me Seya." Seya held out his hand which Ryou took. Ryou's face become proper and composed.
"Very well Seya-san, what could a university professor could do for you?" Ryou took his seat and looked at Seya with weary eyes.
"Please don't be so formal with me Prof. Bakura." Seya started. A slight nod from Ryou was his signal to go on.
"I wanted to talk to you about Jonouchi Katsuya and what happened from the past twenty years up to the present."
"It's not--"
"Please! I need to know what happened! I need to know why father turned out like that, his past, I need to--" Seya choke back his sobs. 'I need to know what have I done for this to turn out this way.'
Ryou looked at the blonde boy in front of him and can't help to think that maybe...just maybe...Kaiba still loves his friend. Afterall, it's been twenty years when they broke up and for the past seventeen years Seya's like a living Jou clone.
"Very well..." Ryou stood up. "It's nearing my break. Want to join me for a cup of coffee? We could go to my favorite cafe."
Seya's face brighten. Finally!
