Chapter 5
Mokuba woke up feeling happy and fresh although he didn't get any sleep. He hummed on his way to the dining table. He saw Seto was already there, reading the paper. " Good morning, Brother," he chirped happily. Seto replied with a nod. Mokuba looked around. " Where's Asuka-neechan," Mokuba asked, his eyes still searching around the compound. " She let last night..," Seto said without giving much care. ' What? Why," Mokuba was clearky surprise by the news. He thought he could have at least a breakfast with her. Seto shrugged. Mokuba was crestfallen. Seto looked at his brother. Then he got up from his seat. " I'm going. See you later Mokuba." Mokuba nodded and slowly chewed his toast.
Seto reached the Kaiba Corporation building and headed straight to his office. He had no mood to do anything today. He felt quite guilty about what he had said to Asuka last night. Guilty. The feeling he never felt before. 'I shouldn't said that to her. That was too cruel, even for my standard.' Seto did everything he was supposed to do at his office. He finised his work early that day. Yet, he felt empty. Like something was missing. Ignoring his feelings, he headed home.
Three days had past since Asuka left the mansion. Seto could sense Mokuba's sadness. He knew Mokuba liked her. 'Damn! Even I like her..' Mokuba had no appetite to eat and that worries Seto so he asked his little brother what was wrong. " I don't get it. Why would Asuks-neechan left just like that? And why haven't she come back ever since," Mokuba asked Seto. Seto knew the answer. ' That's because I hurt her feelings. I said a very cruel things to her.' But Seto can't ever say that to Mokuba so he said nothing. Mokuba thought Seto was feeling the same as he is so he said nothing and went to his room. He knew nothing about the guilt that Seto was carrying inside him.
Next morning, Seto went to his office as usual.When he entered his office, he saw someone was sitting on his chair but he couldn't tell whom since he was facing the chair's back. Seto walked to his desk. The chair was turned around reveling the face that he had longed to see for the past few days. " Asuka….," Seto blurted. He was very happy to see her again. He wanted to apologize but Asuka's cold expression made him stopped. Suku stood slowly and walked towards Seto. She was facing him when she said, " The CD. I want them back." Her words were monotone. There was coldness in her voice. Seto examined Asuka's face. He saw some cuts and bruises on her face. Her right arm was bandaged. Seto grabbed her hand and askedwith concern, " What happened to you? You're involved in a fight," Seto asked while checking the bruises. Asuka quickly pulled her hand way from Seto. She hissed, " It's none of your business. What happened to me don't matter to you." Asuka turned her back to Seto.
Now Seto now how much Asuka was hurt by his words. He felt really guilty. " The CD. Do you have it now?." Seto shook his head. " It's back at your mansion," Asuka asked coldly. Seto nodded. Asuka started t walk towards the door. Seto turned around and grabbed her arm. Asuka stopped but didn't turned around. " I'm sorry for what I said that night…," Seto whispered. Asuka said nothing, ouled her hand and walked away. Seto let out a long sigh.
Asuka was walking at the sidewalk, holding a paper. She stopped when she reached her destination. Asuka smiled and entered the building. The Maximilion Pegasus building. ' If Kaiba can't help me, I'll find someone that can.' Thinking what Seto had said to her that night made her heart bleed. It was a very cruel thing to say. 'If it comes from someone else, I think I can live with it but it comes from Seto Kaiba's mouth. I don't know why but it hurts like hell….' Asuka cleared her mind and walked inside Maximilion Pegasus's office.
