Chapter 4
Seto walked down the hall towards Mokuba's room. He
expected his brother ether asleep, playing video
games, or pretending to be asleep. Ether way, he would
benefit seeing his little brother and having a moment
all alone with his one and only brother.
Seto turned the corner to Mokuba's door, noticing
that the door was slightly ajar. He heard talking in
the room. As much as Seto felt guilty for ease
dropping on his brother, he looked inside the room.
There was Rina and Mokuba, Mokuba was laying on Rina's
lap, looking tired, but somewhat happy to have his
mother by his side. Rina was stroking her hand through
his hair, smiling down at the little boy on her lap.
"Mom…" Mokuba said, quietly, yet tired. "Yeah hun?"
Rina asked, not stopping her soothing motions. "Do you
think Nii-sama is happy to see you?" Mokuba asked.
Rina looked away at the ground, sadness fell over her
face. She knew how much Seto didn't believe that she
was his mother, and how it had pained him more to even
look at her, knowing it would remind him of his mother
and her death. Mother's can always tell when their
child is in pain, weather they show it or not. "I'm
sure he is" she lied, looking back down at Mokuba,
"Now, you go to sleep, ok?" Rina said, lifting Mokuba
up and setting him in bed.
Seto turned away, he couldn't stand anymore of this.
He turned to leave down the hall, when he saw Riku
right beside him. Seto's eyes widened, he was taken
completely by surprise. "Well, well, ease dropping I
see. You must've gotten that from your mother." Seto
glared, "My mother is dead" he scowled. "And so is
your honor" Riku said, and with that, he turned and
left for his room. Seto stood there, pondering on his
words. 'And so is your honor.' What could he possibly
mean?
Seto was one of the most powerful people in all of
Japan, he was the president of the biggest gaming
company in the world, he was a genius and one of the
best duelers in the history of duel monsters. What
honor could he have possibly been lost?
Seto just shook his head to try and get rid of such
thoughts then headed back to his office.
-The Next Morning-
Mokuba yawned and opened his eyes. At first, he felt
completely normal, he was in his normal room, it was a
normal day. Then the memories of yesterday came back
to him. He had parents again. With this thought, a
smile appeared on Mokuba's face, he quickly got out of
bed and ran out of his room, as if to prove to himself
that he wasn't lying. He ran down the stairs and saw
Seto, typing at his laptop, Riku reading the
newspaper, and Rina humming away happily as she made
breakfast. This brought yet another smile to Mokuba's
face, making him even happier to that his parents were
there, they were alive. It wasn't a dream anymore, it
was real.
Seto was the first to notice Mokuba's arrival, but
secretly he had been waiting for him ever since he had
waken up. Ever since their parents had moved into the
Kaiba household, Seto had seemed to need Mokuba's
attention and love more and more. And when they were
apart, Seto couldn't stand it inside. This was HIS
brother, that he had raised ever since their so called
"parents" had died.
"Morning Nii-sama, morning Dad, morning Mom" Mokuba
said extra happily, they were finally a complete
family. It gave him utter joy and happiness just to
call upon them all at once, like a real family.
Mokuba walked over and sat down next to Seto. Seto
gave a small smile and ruffled Mokuba's hair. Rina
turned around, "Oh, sweetheart, I'm so glade your
awake." She said, walking over and kissing him on the
head, "You sure had a good night's rest. Breakfast
will be ready in just a second." She said, giving him
a hug and walking back to the stove. Seto scowled, but
tried to ignore her action.
Mokuba looked over at Riku, who seemed to be looking
very unhappy reading the paper, but looked as if he
hadn't heard Mokuba. "Morning Dad" Mokuba repeated.
Riku stopped reading, and looked at Mokuba. "Hmph"
Riku said, completely brushing Mokuba off. Mokuba
frowned, he didn't get why his father had acted so
mean towards him. Had Mokuba somehow upset him?
"Mokuba, how bout I drive you to school today?" Seto
suggested, looking over at Mokuba. "That would be
great! But Mom already offered to give me a ride…"
Mokuba said, looking down. Seto was speechless, this
woman was completely taking over his life. "But I
think it would be better if I drive you" Seto didn't
really know what point he was trying to prove, but he
wasn't backing down from this. "But I've had more
years of experience driving than you have, my dear"
Rina said, placing a plate of eggs, toast, and bacon
in front of Seto and Mokuba.
"Wow! These look great!" Mokuba exclaimed, digging
into his breakfast. Seto merely pushed it away, "I
don't eat this fatting food" Seto replied as he got
up, "I'm going to get my cereal."
"Oh, you mean that sugarless cereal? That looked so
un-filling. I threw that trash away."
"You did what?"
"I threw away that disgusting cereal. Honey, you
shouldn't be eating that stuff, you're a growing boy.
Look at you, your as thin as a pole" Rina said,
patting Seto's stomach showing how thin his was.
Mokuba's eyes widened, "Whoah… when did that happen?"
Mokuba asked, getting up and pressing his hand against
his shirt, seeing that the already extra small shirt
didn't even fit him. Seto pulled away Mokuba's hand.
"It's nothing. That's just what happens when you eat
healthy."
"Seto Netoshi, that is not eating healthy! You could
die being that thin. Come're Seto, we're going to
weigh you" Rina said, taking Seto's arm. He quickly
pulled it away. "My name is Seto Kaiba" Seto growled,
Netoshi was his original name before he was adopted.
"This is MY house, and I will eat and do whatever I
want. You cannot throw away MY food while under MY
roof" Seto barked, putting an arm around Mokuba and
pulling him over to Seto. "Come on Mokuba, I'm gonna
get you to school before you become late."
"Ok Nii-sama" Mokuba said, grabbing his backpack and
doing as his brother had asked. "Oh, Mokuba dear."
Mokuba turned around to face Rina. She bent forward
and kissed him on the forehead, "Have a great day at
school, hun."
"Thanks Mom" Mokuba said, hugging Rina, then running
to Seto's side.
-Flashback-
"Mom, you make the best breakfast in the world!" Seto
exclaimed happily as he finished his eggs, toast, and
bacon while sipping his last drop of orange juice.
"Why thank you, sweetie" Rina said happily, giving a
warm smile. She loved to see her child happy. She put
her hand over her stomach, she felt like the luckiest
Mom in the world, she had a wonderful son and another
was on it's way.
"How bout I drive you to school today, Seto" Riku
asked, placing a hand on Seto's shoulder. "I thought
Mommy was always gonna drive me, Dad?" Seto asked,
looking over at Rina. "Mommy's gotta take it easy
because of the baby. Your gonna be a big brother soon,
Seto."
"Oh yeah. That's right." Seto said, following his
father out to the car. "Oh, Seto dear" Seto turned
around to face. She bent forward and kissed him on the
forehead, "Have a great day at school, hun."
"Thanks Mom" Seto said, hugging Rina, then running to
Seto's side.
-End of flashback-
Seto merely shook his head as Mokuba approached him.
Mokuba eyes his brother, "What's wrong?" Mokuba asked.
"Uh… nothing. Come on, we're gonna be late." Seto
said, walking to the car. "Ok Nii-sama" Mokuba said,
running after him.
So0o0o00o0o, what did you guys think? Seto's totally
being replaced, and now he's getting flashbacks! How
painful could this get for poor Seto? Sorry for really
