Chapter fourteen: 24 hours.
Meyli kept walking in circle in her room, what was she supposed to do now? After she had her little 'talk' with Mike she came back home and took Mokuba to bed, it was now half past eleven and she had to find a way to get out of this, time was passing way to fast for her. Well there wasn't that much of a choice, get the money and probably get thrown out by Kaiba once he find out or get herself killed. That would be nice in a certain way…What in the world am I saying? I'll just get the stupid money and pay him, but then again why give myself the trouble if I'm just going to end up my life anyway? Meyli looked at her reflection in the mirror. Of course, I've always been too coward to put an end to my misery, why would that be any different now? I'll just get the stupid money.
After checking if Mokuba was well asleep she made her way to Kaiba's office, if she didn't find what she wanted there she would check in his bedroom, after all those were the only two place she could think Seto would be careless enough to left some money.

"That's great, now I only have to find another 99 000$." She said sarcastically as she sat on Kaiba's bed. "I'm so dead."
She walked back into her room and opened one of her drawer, she held out a little knife she had since she was 12, the only friend she ever had. (An: I hope you do catch the hint here) I guess it can't really hurt in my current situation.

The next day at school was like a blur to Meyli, she passed all the night searching in every room of the mansion for money, that wasn't an easy task and she only found a hundred dollar, she was so dead.
"Is something the matter?" Tea asked.
Meyli snapped out of her trace and turned around to look at her friend. "Yea, I'm fine, just a little tired." She lied.
"If you say so." Tea said, but Meyli could tell she didn't believe her.

"Why am I making such a deal out of this, I just have to leave and this time I'll go somewhere where he can't find me." Meyli said to herself as she gathered the few of her belonging.
"But he did say he would come after Mokuba if I try." She told herself.
She shocked her head. "Why should that matter to me, I never cared about him anyway, why should I start worrying now. I'll just leave, anyway I'm no longer a part of this family so it's not my problem."
"What are you doing?"
Meyli jumped out of surprise, she turned around and saw Mokuba looking at her with a confused look. "Nothing, just cleaning a little."
"You look like you're leaving."
"Well maybe that's because I am." Meyli answered without paying him much attention.
"Why is that?"
Is not wanting to die a good enough reason for you? Meyli thought without even looking at him, had she done it, she would have seen the sadness in his eyes. "I'm leaving you and your brother in peace, how does that sound?"
"But I don't want you to leave."
Meyli looked back in shock; he didn't want her to leave? "What?"
"I really like you a lot, I don't want you to go away."
"Well that's life kid, if I came here it was only because I didn't had anywhere else, otherwise I would have never even came near this place."
"But why are you leaving?"
"Look, mind your own business. Your brother is coming back tomorrow and I'll leave as soon as he arrives." She walked out of the room, of course the last part was a lie, if she didn't leave tonight she would be dead, but Mokuba didn't need to know.
"But I'll miss you." Mokuba told himself, he really did care for her, even if he had no idea why.
Meyli went straight to the kitchen, it was dinner time and she figured she could at least eat before going, after all, her next real meal might be in a while.

Mokuba looked around the room a little, Meyli had almost already packed all her things, Mokuba had to admit she didn't had much, his brother paid for more than half of these things. His eyes caught something he had never seen before. He walked up to it, it looked like an old photo album, kinda like the ones he found in the attic before Meyli arrived. Probably things about her family. Mokuba picket it up. If she really is leaving then I'll never know who she was, maybe there's some answer in it.
And Mokuba, being a Kaiba, let his curiosity get the best of him as he opened it. Just as he expected, it was a photo album, she was on most of the picture, it was her album after all, however there was also a lot of picture of Kaiba, some of them they were together. When Mokuba turned to the next page his eyes went wide. He knew those people, there was no mistake in it, but why is the world did she had a picture of his parent?

Meyli finished dinner and went upstairs to get Mokuba, after all she was supposed to feed him, one thing was sure, Kaiba would certainly not like it when he'll see she left, leaving his brother all alone, not that she really cared. However, when she reached his room she saw it was empty. Where in the world can he be?
Meyli looked around each room trying to find her little burden, running away and leaving him alone was one thing, loosing him was way much more, Kaiba would hunt her for the rest of her life. When she turned a corner she noticed one room that had light in it, it was her room, she decided to check it out.

Mokuba looked at the next page and his shock grew even bigger, he couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing, both his parent were on the picture, his mom was obviously pregnant of him, but what shocked him the most where the two other people on the picture, two child around the age of five, one of them was Seto and the other…Meyli?
"What are you doing?" Mokuba looked up to se a really upset Meyli. "Who do you think you are to look through my things like that?"
"I-I was just curious."
"That's no excuses to put your nose in other people's business, I don't care if you are a Kaiba, that's my life and it's none of your business."
"None of my business, then why are you on a picture with my parents and Seto, You're not even part of our family."
Meyli walked up to him and snatched the album. "I was, before you come around and destroy it. If you weren't there my mother would still be alive." She snapped
Mokuba looked at her with confusion, the image of the picture came back in his mind. "What are you talking about, I don't even know your mother." Mokuba snapped back.
"Of course you don't, you killed her, she died giving birth to you."
"You…are my sister?"
"Let me get one point straight, just because we have the same parents don't mean I consider you my brother, you completely destroyed my life."
Tears fell out of Mokuba's eyes. So that was what my brother was hiding from me, he had a sister, but now I think I would have preferred to never know. "But it's not-"
"Your fault? Then tell me whose fault is it? Just put in that little head of your that if you weren't there everyone would me much happier, especially Seto."
"That's not true." Mokuba yelled. "Seto care about me."
"Get real, if it wasn't for you he would still have his mother, why would he care about the person who made him an orphan?"
"Well who are you to talk?" Mokuba yelled. "From what I understand he still preferred to stay with me than go with y-" Mokuba stopped dead when he felt a sharp pain on his cheek, his hand went up where Meyli slapped him and tears started to fall off his eyes.
"I thought by now you would know he's only taking care of you because he lost a game, had he win he would have never even given a thought as to where you end up, you should just do him a favour and get out of his life."
Tears filled up his eyes as he ran out of the room, when he passed through the doorframe he bumped into something but he was too upset to realise it and went to his room. When she saw his face a big wave of guilt took her, she couldn't believe she had just said and done that, Meyli turned around, her heart skipped a beat when she saw in what, or rather whom Mokuba had ran into, if looks could kill she would have had the time to die 20 times before her body hit the ground. She wanted to ask since when he was there but the look in his eyes said it all.
"Seto…I…"
"Save it." Kaiba snapped. "I don't want to hear any more from you, I've gave you more chances than you deserved, now you've gone way too far, I'm sending you back with our uncle."
"You're not sending me back there." Meyli said as fear slowly took over.
"Really? Do you actually thing I would let you stay here after what you've done to Mokuba?"
"But I didn't-"
Kaiba couldn't contain his anger anymore; he grabbed her by her shoulder and held her firmly against the wall, not strong enough to hurt her but firmly enough so she couldn't get away. "I told you I didn't want to hear anything, I took you in without questioning, all I asked was that you never hurt Mokuba and you can't even do that, there's no way I'll let you stay anywhere near here after that, I'm sending you back there. That's where you belong, with that good for nothing son of a bitch." (An: As you can see Kaiba doesn't held any of his relative in high esteem, after all they dropped him in a orphanage after taking his heritage.)
"I'm not going back with him."
"And why is that? You where so happy to leave me and Mokuba to go live with him, I thought you didn't wanted to let Mokuba ruin your life, why the sudden change of mind?" Meyli was closing her eyes tightly, trying not to think about the reason why she ran away, with little success. "Go ahead, I'm waiting, is your life not good enough now that you know how wealthy I am? Or perhaps it's because-"
"He raped me!" Meyli burst out, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe she had just said it, she never told it to anyone before. For once Kaiba was actually speechless.
"W-What?" Kaiba said looking down at her, still under the shock, but before he could get his senses back Meyli had already pushed him away and ran out the door.
When he heard the door of the mansion close Kaiba wanted to go get her but he had to check his little brother first. "Mokuba open the door." He said as he knocked on the door of Mokuba's bedroom. When no answer came he opened it and saw the room was empty, he sighed, he had feared Mokuba might have ran away now he'll have to find him and Meyli before any of them does something stupid, he knew from fact that people didn't think straight when they were upset like that.
Kaiba went to the garage and took his motorcycle, it wasn't the first time Mokuba had ran away, they were brother after all and no matter how much brother love each other they sometime argue about nothing and Mokuba was really sensitive. On normal basic Kaiba wouldn't be too worried, he knew the kids spot so he was easy to find, Mokuba didn't really wanted to run away, he just wanted to disappear for a little while to calm down, even if Kaiba wouldn't search for him he knew the kid would come back after a few hours. But of course Kaiba never wanted for the kid to just come home, he wanted him to know he cared about him so each time something like this happen he would always go get him and apologize.
As for Meyli, of course he was still mad at her for hitting Mokuba but after what he had just learn he couldn't let her run away like that again, after all she was his little sister.
