Catching The Ocean

Chapter Three

Walking down the corridors, of the white Hospital, Mokuba felt afraid. He hadn't been in a hospital since his parents died. Luckily, he was too young to remember the horrific event of death. Even though he didn't remember what had happened, his mind had a sense of dismay when he walked through the hall. The white tiles gleamed of light. Some doors were open, some were closed. His gray eyes would shift towards the dark rooms. The only thing he could see was the small lights from heart monitors and IV's. It was eerie. Hopefully Tea would be done soon.

"Mokuba." Kaiba's strong voice filled the hallway. The younger boy stopped suddenly. He didn't want to see his big brother right now. A heavy pair of footsteps stopped closed behind him. "I apologize for earlier."

Mokuba's eyes shimmered. He knew his brother meant it sincerely, but his tone was dull. His entire being screamed apathy. Turning around, he was still a good 10 steps from the other man. "I guess I forgive you, but you should be nicer."

That made the CEO smirk. "To who? If your meaning Yugi, you have another thing coming." Yugi, the young man who was 5'6, had sharp pointy spikes that shimmered downward from red, black, and then to golden bangs. The more innocent he looked, the more Seto Kaiba knew of his intelligence. He was the Master of Duels, and that made him Seto's rival. They should fight until the end of time in card games.

"No, I don't shoot for the stars." the younger brother rolled his eyes. "I want you to be nicer to everyone else. I bet you a dollar you couldn't do one nice thing!"

Seto was about to say something when the doctor came up behind him. Beside the doctor was Tea. She looked in less pain and her arm was in a bright pink cast. She smiled at Mokuba her warmest smiles. "Hey."

"Tea! Your arm!" he asked, running over to her. "Wow, did you get to pick out the color? This is so cool! I want to be the first to sign it! Common let's go find a marker!" Tea didn't fight back as the boy pulled her away. His energy was skyrocketing. Kaiba would have smirked if it was in him, but of course, it had died out many years ago.

The doctor gave him a clipboard with some papers and a pen. "She has a fractured wrist." his statement was simple and straight. "Ms. Gardener said she lived alone, and I would advice someone to check in on her every so often to make sure she doesn't need help. She also told me how she was right handed, and since that is the one that is broken, she may need help with simple things. I can hire a part time nurse for her if possible but it would be costly since it is the winter season." Kaiba signed the papers as he listened to the doctor. What he said seemed simple enough. "The last page is the nursing papers, you can chose what hours they will visit, and I will write their jobs in. It would be around 3oo dollars for an hour a week."

Seto suddenly had the idea this man was over charging him. He humored over the thought momentarily and thought how necessary a nurse would be anyway. 'I bet you a dollar you couldn't do one nice thing!' his younger brother's cry in his mind he placed the pen down. "There will be no need for a nurse." The doctor nodded.

"Very well, these are for her." He handed him two prescription bottles. "The one that is for once a day is to prevent bruising, and the other is taken whenever she feel pain. I think Ms. Gardener is ready to go home."

Kaiba nodded, dropped his empty coffee cup in the trash, and picked up his suitcase with the hand not holding the bottle. He spotted Mokuba scribbling something on Tea's cast as she laughed. "Your so silly!" he heard her say. "Your also a very good artist."

"Really! I can only draw the Blue Eyes White Dragon because it's Seto's favorite card!" he was referring to the popular card game of Domino City. When he walked up to them, they looked up. "Look big brother!" he pointed to the scribbled dragon.

Kaiba nodded. "Come on, we're going."

Tea straightened up carefully. Her face showing some confusion. "Am I to come with you?" Her voice was strong, but she appeared timid. Her brilliant eyes sparkled in the lighting. "I mean, if it's no much trouble, you can drop me off back at the café. I'-"

"Your coming with us." he said, and continued walking toward the doors. Mokuba gave a wink to Tea as he followed. Suddenly, her heart had started beating harder. It's pulse pounding in her ears. Was it really that frightening to talk to the older CEO? Taking a breath of air, she also followed suite.

Stepping out of the hospital was a rather shock. The frozen night sky bit down into her exposed face and legs. It's sharp air pierced her lungs. "It's freezing!" she murmured as the driver held the door open for her. She ducked into the black limo and smiled at the man. "Thank you." He looked exactly the way she thought he would. Old, and adorable.

"Your welcome madam." he said kindly before closing the door. When the door shut, she felt the heater turn on. It was comforting.

Mokuba handed her the jacket she had been wearing before Kaiba knocked her over. "Here, put this on." he said and sat back into his chair.

"Thanks. It's a beautiful night." She looked out the window to a clear sky. The snow clouds seemed to have vanished magically. "Look, you can see the moon!" Her cast felt so heavy it was hard to take her mind off it, but she was going to try her hardest. It was such a shock how the doctor told her it was fractured. It also scared her. She had never really broken anything before. Her attention blurred into her own thoughts as the street lights sped by. The world suddenly gone. She really missed Yugi and her other friend. Maybe that was the reason she feared Kaiba so. His loathing of her friends setting them apart. How would he react to the fact he fractured her wrist? A giggle escaped her glossed lips.

Seto's deep blue eyes looked beside him to the laughing girl. Her attention placed outside the window. What was so funny? He sighed and turned towards the boy in front of him. Mokuba had fallen asleep so suddenly it was almost as if someone had drugged him. Of course, he was used to his younger brother doing this. First you see an energy spasm, then you get a sleeping child. Some days he carried him to bed, but now that his brother is getting heavier, he highly doubt he could now. "We're hear." the man in front said. Tea looked about.

"Wait, where are we?" she asked, opening the door. Kaiba opened his after placing his suitcase on the floor. His driver would take it in for him later.

Tea gasped, she was in Kaiba's driveway! Kaiba's HUGE driveway! The one next to the biggest mansion in Domino City! What was going on? She turned to Seto and watched him pull his brother from the car. Mokuba groaned as he was awoken. "Seto...go away."

"Get up, we're here."

"Leave me in the car."

Kaiba stood up. "Fine."

"NO!" Mokuba shot up. "You would have left me in the car! What kind of big brother are you? I could have frozen to death!"

Seto closed the door as his brother hopped out. As soon as it was closed, the driver strolled it away into the garage behind the mansion. He caught Tea's gaze. "What am I doing here?" She asked.

"Your going to be staying here for a while. Now let's go inside before you catch a cold." he said, walking towards the door. Mokuba jumped up and down.

He grinned. "Yay! Now we can play all the time. Tomorrow you can eat breakfast with me! I've never had some do that before! Seto's always busy." She would have returned his happiness if she hadn't been watching Seto walked into his house. She didn't want to live with him. She wanted to go home. What should she do?

Sorry if this appeared fast typed and rushed, because it was. lol, I don't have time during the week and I had a busy weekend. I hope you like it. I apologize for the fact I did not proofread this. I may do it tomorrow but I have no idea. Please review, thank you!
