Chapter 3: They Grow Up So Fast
Ha…another day in the life of Seto Kaiba is quickly coming to a close. I got all that stupid paperwork and whatever else CEOs do done…and it's only 7 o'clock! I haven't got done that EARLY before. What a wonderful thought! Now…the thing is…what to do with these last few hours? I should just go home and spend time with my little brother. That would be…the responsible thing…I guess...decisions, decisions…
Mokuba needs me to be there for him…of course, he is already, what, 15…he's becoming his own "man" and he'll rather want to hang out with his friends and not his dull, workaholic brother…WAIT, did I just call myself dull? Workaholic, yes…dull…maybe! Hmmmm...
I guess I could go home and eat some dinner and if Mokuba wants to hang…so be it. Wow…I'm pretty hungry…I haven't eaten all day…in fact, I don't think I've eaten since, yesterday…breakfast, nasty breakfast…oh well! I guess…I should leave this stupid prison before I fall asleep staring into space and deciding if I was leaving…WTF did I just say? Never mind Seto…it's okay…walk out of the room quickly…before you look stupid!
Good then…home it is…
I grabbed my coat and briefcase and closed the office door on the way out. I walked over to the elevator and patiently waited for it to reach my floor. I heard the ding and walked in as soon as the door had fully opened. Maybe I should call Mokuba and let him know I'm coming…or I could make it like a surprise…yeah… I listened to the annoying elevator music as it descended to the ground floor. Third note to self: Change that shitty music and put in some Kayne West or something… "hip"…Yeah buddy! The elevator slowly came to a halt and opened for me. I walked out and turned toward the garage. I got to my car, opened the trunk, threw my briefcase and coat in the back, closed the trunk, started the car and drove off.
Twenty-seven minutes later…
Why are all the damn lights on upstairs? Mokuba better realize that electricity is NOT free…stupid lazy fuck! I mean…Mokuba will need to get a…strict talking to. Yeah…that's what I meant.
I got out of my car, grabbed the stuff in the trunk and walked into the house. I gently put my belongings on the kitchen counter and looked around. I wonder where Mokuba is. I guess I'll look upstairs…since he has all the lights on…
I slowly walked down the hall and reached the stairs. I could hear loud hard metal music coming from some of the distant rooms. Since when does Mokuba listen to rock music? And since when does he listen to any music? I walked up the stairwell. I reached the top and looked down the hall. Well…let's see what the fuck is going on. I moved down the hall toward Mokuba's room. As I reached the door, I could hear giggling. I could also smell something burning. What the hell is that smell? I know it smells familiar, but I can't remember where I've…wait…I inhaled some of the scent coming from Mokuba's room. Wait a second…I think…that's…wait…OMG…MOKUBA!
I barged into his room at full force. "MOKUBA!" I yelled at him.
Mokuba jumped up from the floor where he had been sitting around with his friends. "Seto…you're…home?" Mokuba said slowly.
"WTF Mokuba…all of the things you could be doing after school and you decide to do this?"
"Seto…" Mokuba said looking down at the floor in shame.
"And all your friends…their parents will be hearing about this."
The three other teens sighed in distress. One of them stood up with the…evidence.
"Mr. Kaiba, sir…please don't tell our parents…they'd kill us!" He said.
"What makes you think I want you in my home…smoking that shit…and that I will just let you pass away home free?" I asked him.
"Uh…" He started, "…well…like you never did it." He said.
"What does that have to do with anything kid?" I questioned, "The point of the matter is…you need to give me that…stuff…and get your asses out of my house before I call the fucking cops."
The other two guys stood up and ran out of Mokuba's room. The third still stood in front of me holding the stuff.
"WTF Mokuba, I thought you said your brother was cool…" He said. He glared at Mokuba for a few seconds and walked up to me. "Here…" He handed me what I had asked for and quickly stormed out.
I waited to make sure that the punks had left and then turned my attention back to Mokuba. He was still standing still and staring down at the floor.
"Mokuba?" I called out his name in anger. This stupid fuck would be smoking this…shit…after all I've done for him…ungrateful piece of SHIT! "Mokuba?"
"Yeah?" He answered looking up.
"Yeah?" I questioned in a calm rage. "That's all you have to say for yourself? Mokuba…since when did you start hanging out with…those…guys? I thought you knew better."
"Since when do you care who I hang out with Seto? I bet you didn't even think I had any friends! I can hang out with whomever I see fit! You can't do a damn thing about it!" He yelled.
Did he just tell me what I can and cannot do? This kid is not my little brother. Have I seriously missed so much? I guess what they say is true…Kids grow up so fast.
"What do you think I'm supposed to do, Mokuba? Let you get away with smoking that crap…I know I'm just your brother, but I have had to take care of you for so long…I'm more like a parent to you…so…" I'm starting to lose my rage here…get angry! I need to have control of this situation! "I need to make sure you're disciplined for this!"
"I hate you…" Mokuba whispered.
"I heard that…and you don't hate me. I'd rather know why you decided to smoke that…and see if you can come up with a good reason so I don't have to punish you…too severely." I can't ground him or hit him…he's my little brother…WTF can I do to punish him?
"My friends had some and I tried it…that's all…" Mokuba answered.
"What kind of excuse is that? Seriously Mokuba…that was worst defense I've ever heard!" I said angrily.
"It's the truth, Seto."
"Well…even so…I'm very disappointed in you." What else is there to say? The dumbass decided to smoke and now he's gonna get in trouble for it.
"Real original Seto…I bet Gozoboro taught you that phase, huh?" Mokuba said laughing.
Why did he have to bring Gozoboro into this? And might I say…OUCH! That's all I ever heard from the dick-face…
Flashback…
"Now Seto, your grades are slipping…I'm very disappointed in you! I expect more from you than this." Gozoboro had said with a grin on his face.
"But…sir…" I had started.
"No…buts…that is failure talking! Your mistakes will not be taken lightly, Seto. No dinner and you will re-read all of your material tonight."
"But…that's 12 books…" I had moaned.
"Oh…poor Seto…" Gozoboro had laughed. "Get started then!"
End Flashback…
Fucker…I hated that asshole! And Mokuba just had to bring that torture! Damn it all to hell…
"Mokuba…just sit your ass down in here until I can figure out an appropriate punishment!" I yelled walking out of the room and slamming the door.
I need to sleep on this or something…now I have to deal with Gozoboro and Mokuba at the fucking moment…FUCK! AGH! I need to fucking cool down…but there's nothing…I looked down in my hand. Wait a sec…Mokuba's friend's stuff…that would help…NO! I can't smoke this…sure it would help me relax, but…I won't turn to drugs! NO! But…Don't be a wimp!
I'm not being a wimp! I'm being a responsible adult! DAMN IT ALL!
I walked down the hall toward my room. I got in and closed the door. Oh…sweet darkness…I need to sleep…just for a few hours…
I set the stuff in my hands down on the dresser and walked over to my bed. I collapsed on it. Oh yeah…that feels good! Now all I need is something to remove these memories of Gozoboro and I'll be fine…
I sat up from my bed and stared at the dresser. NO!
Yes!
No! I will not!
Yes Seto…you must…nothing bad will happen…trust me…
NO!
Come on…it will be FUN!
But…
NO…buts…remember…
I couldn't…
I could!
That's all folks...for now of course...PLEASE R&R...thanks all for the support! I love u all! I'll update ASAP, Ipromise...
