Chapter 9: Run Away
Last time on No, I'm Seto!:
Makoto gave a look at the boy's language, but shrugged it off, "Anyways, the winning prize is…"
0o0o0o0o0o
"… a pat on the back!" Makoto exclaimed cheerfully.
The crowd of people anime fell while the two boys stood there with their jaws dropped.
"What!" they screamed.
Makoto gave a light laugh as he placed a hand behind his head. "I'm kidding you two," he replied with a smile.
The crowd regained their stance as they stood there with a huge sweat-drop.
"Then what is it?" one asked.
"Yeah, what's the real prize?" the other began.
The announcer looked thoughtful as he placed a hand under his chin as he thought. "Hmm… oh yeah," he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a white envelope, "the prize is in this here slot of paper."
The two boys looked at each other and then at the envelope as they made a dash for it, they quickly snatched it out of his hand.
'I bet its cash,' the boys thought as they ripped the seal and took the contents out.
"Huh…" the boys looked at the prize with confusion, "what kind of prize is this!"
"Why its two free tickets to the best place a boy could ever dream for," Makoto stated.
The crowd looked confused.
"Is it a free admission to a paintball arena?" one of the people asked within the crowd.
"Is it free video games?" a little boy asked.
"Is it a free all you can eat buffet?" another asked.
The crowd stood quiet as they searched through the herd of people to find out who was the idiot that asked that sort of question. Mokuba looked up at Joey with a sweat-drop, when he clearly heard his voice, as he ran a hand over his face. Joey had his eyebrows knitted together staring over the crowd.
"Hey Mokuba," Ruby whispered as she looked over at him in a whispering gesture, "when did your brother grab that chair?" she asked as she pointed at the chair underneath 'Seto's' feet.
Mokuba looked over at Joey again but this time looked up and down. There stood Joey looking tall over the crowds of people as he stood on top of a steel chair with his arms crossed over his chest. Mokuba just gave out a nervous laugh but never responded back to her.
"Um… it's not any of those things?" Makoto replied with a sweat-drop.
The crowd looked at one another as they began murmuring.
"Oh I know! It's a free pass to Disney Land!"
"I don't think boys would dream about going there."
"Yeah!"
The crowd once again began to murmur things.
"Oh come on tell us!"
"Yeah! Tell us!"
"If you want to know its-" Makoto started but was cut off.
"It's a coupon for a free hair cut!" the two winners shouted.
"What!" the crowd shouted except Joey who fell off his chair. The crowd and the winners looked over at Makoto.
"Explain!" they shouted.
"Well…" he started as he scratched his cheek, "all I can say is that, don't you get to that certain day when you come home with a mop of hair on your head and you want one of your family members to trim if off for you, but they seem too busy to help do that simple task?" he asked.
The crowd nodded his or her heads, "Yeah that's true," they murmured. "So in other words," they pondered a bit, "YOU'RE CHEAP!" they cried as they pointed at him with an angry look on their faces.
Makoto cringed as he saw them all walk away hearing things like 'that was stupid' and 'I'm not playing any games that involves a mystery prize…'
"No! Don't hate me!" Makoto cried as he ran over to the departing crowd.
0o0o0o0o0o
"Man, I got all worked up for nothin'," Joey grumbled as he stomped off to the nearest picnic table.
Mokuba and the others closely followed Joey from behind. Ruby silently walked next to Mokuba as she whispered towards him.
"Hey Mokuba, I don't think your bother does too well when it comes to games," she said.
"Yeah I agree," said Sanyu as he walked next to Mokuba by his other side.
"You two just don't understand the heart of winning," Ella replied as she walked behind them with Li.
The three looked behind them where Ella and Li were located with a sweat-drop. They gave out a loud sigh as they turned back to the front staring back at 'Seto's' stiff form. Mokuba walked ahead moving away from both Ruby and Sanyu as he walked along side 'his brother.'
"Hey Joey, you okay?" Mokuba asked as he looked up at him.
Joey looked over at him as he responded back, "Yeah I'm fine…"
"Uh… just think at it this way. You may not have won, but you already got a free hair cut from me," Mokuba said cheerfully carefully not to say it loud enough for the people in back to hear.
Joey looked over at him with a glare but let it slide when he saw his cheerful face as he silently agreed with him.
"But still," Joey started was he straighten up and clenched a fist by his side, "they should've given out a better and more demanding prize then a hair cut."
Mokuba gave Joey a questioning look, "Like what?"
"Hmm…" Joey stood there thinking as he placed a hand under his chin going into thinking mode.
His bangs covered his sapphire eyes as his eyebrows knitted together in thought. Mokuba looked up at Joey when he suddenly visualized his real brother standing there. The four, from behind, stood a couple of inches from them staring at Joey with a questioning look on their faces.
"Seto is something wrong?" Li asked as she clenched both hands in front of her.
"Of course he's fine. You could tell that he's thinking," Ruby stated.
"Yeah, but thinking about what," Sanyu replied.
The others shrugged.
Ella suddenly gasped as she went up to Joey and placed both hands on his shoulders. Joey suddenly looked up and then back down when he saw that Ella had a serious look on her face.
"Um… can I help you," Joey meekly asked.
"You can't go now! I know that you're obsessed with work and all, but I don't want you to leave. You just can't!" she cried as she suddenly shook him.
"I-I'm n-not l-leav-ing. C-can y-you p-please s-stop sh-shaking m-me?" Joey asked when he was suddenly thrust out from his thinking position.
Ella suddenly stopped shaking him while the others just stood there staring at them. Joey took her hands off his shoulders and went back to his thinking mode.
"Hey Mokuba, what is Seto thinking about?" Li asked when she walked up from behind him and stood next to him with Ruby and Sanyu following her action as well.
Mokuba looked up at her as he responded, "He's thinking of a great prize that they should've given out instead of that lame gift."
"Oh," the others replied.
"Got it!" Joey exclaimed as he snapped his fingers.
"Well what do you think?" Mokuba asked when he looked back towards him.
"I think they should've given a prize like uh… bag of chips!" Joey replied with a finger in the air.
Mokuba and the others sweat-dropped at his statement.
"Um… I don't think that it's not really a great prize either… I mean a bag of chips…" Mokuba replied with a "are you crazy" type of tone.
"You're right… make that TWO bags of chips!" Joey exclaimed with a smile and held up two fingers.
Everyone anime fell with a huge sweat-drop, but Mokuba was able to regain his balance.
"Two bags of chips! Are you crazy or something Jo- I mean Seto!" Mokuba cried as he suddenly caught himself when he almost called him by his real name. "You're going to have to think of something more reasonable and at least decent," he said as he mumbled the last part under his breath.
"You're right about that one too," Joey said as he placed a hand under his chin again for a brief moment, "I know, make them both super size and we'll call it even!"
Once again everyone fell back like a bunch of dominos with Mokuba falling as well. Joey looked at the group of people on the ground as he placed a hand behind his head rubbing it sheepishly.
"Did I say something wrong?" he questioned innocently.
Everyone's thoughts:
Sanyu's thoughts: 'And this is the guy my sister has a crush on. He's so dense…'
Ruby's thoughts: 'Oh wow… No wonder Mokuba looks up towards his older brother. He has no clue about things.'
Li's thoughts: 'What's wrong with you Seto? Are you not feeling well today or something?"
Ella's thoughts: 'Something must be on Seto's mind if he's acting so strange today. I wonder what it is…'
And lastly…
Mokuba's thought's: 'Joey! I know you're doing this on purpose! You're making Seto look like a fool! I could already picture it… Seto's angry look on his face while I gave him 'the look' when he suddenly found out about this whole situation saying, "Sorry Mokuba that look won't work on me, you're grounded! Off everything!" NOOO! I need my video games, my sugar, and my bed! Oh wait; I'll still have my bed, but I NEED MY VIDEO GAMES!'
End of thoughts…
All five of them stood back up as they suddenly faced the confused Joey in front of them. They all heaved out a sigh while Li and Ella walked up to him. Joey took a couple of steps back thinking that they might hit him or something.
"Seto is everything all right?" Li asked.
"Are you feeling okay?" Ella asked too.
Joey just looked at them as he blinked but responded, "Yes, I'm fine…"
"Are you or are you not sane or insane!" Ruby exclaimed as she pointed a finger at him.
Joey blinked as he thought about this for a while. He looked up at the sky then back towards Ruby while she was still pointing a finger at him with a serious look on her face.
"Can I get back to you on that, I'm still deciding," he responded back while everyone anime fell.
Just then a bright flash blind his eyes as he fell a step back.
"What the hell was that!" Joey exclaimed as he started to rub his closed eyes trying to regain his sight back.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that on purpose or anything. I really liked the image of you guys huddled like that," said a voice from in front of him.
Joey looked up and saw that his revision was becoming clear that he could no longer see spots in the sky. Mokuba, Ruby, and Sanyu looked over to see a girl holding on to a digital camera. She was wearing a dark purple tank top with a black skirt and boots. She had on blue oval shaped glasses over her sapphire blue eyes. Her brown hair was tied up in a pony tail by the side while her blonde highlights peaked through from the sun.
Mokuba blinked, "Katrina… is that you?"
The glasses wearing girl looked over towards Mokuba while she placed her camera around her left wrist.
"Yep, it is I! The not so famous Katrina Johnson!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone sweat-dropped.
"And here I thought I would be safe to find someone who is normal," the younger Kaiba said as he gave her a side glance.
"Please, Mokuba tell us what is normal," she injected towards him.
"Uh… I'll pass…" he responded.
Joey walked up next to Mokuba, "Hey Mokuba, who's the new girl?"
"Huh… oh this is a friend of mine. Her name's Katrina," Mokuba replied as he jerked a thumb towards her.
The 'CEO' looked over towards her as he raised a hand in greeting, "Hello, I'm Seto Kaiba," he introduced in a not so Kaiba-ish voice.
Katrina gave him a weird look, "What's wrong with you voice Kaiba?"
Joey raised an eyebrow, "Nothin' why?"
Katrina also raised an eyebrow, "Was that slang you just used?"
'Damn it all, I forgot. Curse you Kaiba! You and your cold and ruthless formalities!' Joey thought as he glared up at the sky and waved a fist at it.
"Mokuba I think something is wrong with your brother," said Ruby aloud while staring at Joey.
Mokuba just stood there burning a hole through the back of Joey's head but suddenly stopped when a headache started forming.
Katrina looked over at Ruby as she walked up towards her, "Hey Ruby long times no see."
Ruby looked over at her, "Hey Katrina. By the way since when did you get here?"
"I got here when the games started and I got some interesting pictures of it. Like that girl you were partnered up with and Mokuba and his brother."
"I see…"
"So… new faces?"
"What?"
"I mean there are new people surrounding us."
"Oh, yeah…"
"Hello…"
"Yeah hello, I already said 'hi' to you."
"I don't mean that! I mean why won't you introduce them to me while Mokuba and Kaiba over there, are huddled together, talking on the ground," Katrina said as she pointed at the two boys talking amongst themselves a couple of inches away from them.
Ruby shrugged, "Yeah sure why not."
The two journeyed towards the three remaining people, who are also talking, by taking one step over to the right.
"Hey everyone!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Hey," the three chorused.
"Ok… everyone this Katrina," Ruby replied as she jerked her thumb towards her.
"Hi… um… everyone," she said with a wave with her right hand. "Can I get your names so that I don't have to call you by your gender or by from what color you're wearing?"
"Right I'm Li."
"I'm Ella and the kid right next to me is just plain boy."
"Yeah right, I'm Sanyu. Ella's little brother."
"Cool! I know names now!" Katrina exclaimed as she took hold of her camera. "Say cheese!"
"Cheese…"
FLASH
"Alright, now I can remember this day being at a school picnic," she said.
"You're weird," Sanyu stated.
"Oh yeah, not weirder than Ruby here," she responded as she jerked her thumb towards her.
"Ok that's true…"
"Hey!"
"Great we're stuck with a bunch of little kids," Li responded as she whispered towards Ella.
"I know what you mean… I wonder what Seto's talking about over there?" Ella thought curiosity aloud while she looked over at the huddled 'Kaiba brothers.'
"Oh… by the way…" Li started as she looked over at Ella, "do we call it even for now?"
Ella raised an eyebrow, "On what?"
"Hello on Seto," Li stated.
"Oh… of course."
Mokuba and Joey sat there on the ground on the dirty little dirt covered ground thinking. Joey silently ran a finger in the dirt drawing stick figures while Mokuba was busy looking at it.
"I got it, Mokuba," said Joey as he snapped is fingers and looked over at him.
"What is it?" Mokuba asked with a little faith in his voice as he looked at him as well.
"We'll, have pizza tonight and if all else fails we could always go ta Burger World."
"That's a great plan Joey. Guess we have to go back to the others now…"
"Yeah you're right…"
Mokuba and Joey stood back up and dusted themselves off to see that the five were talking peacefully. They walked on over but Joey stopped short when he felt that he couldn't exactly move from his spot. So he started to panic.
"HELP! Mokuba I can't move! I could feel my legs, but I can't move away from this spot!" Joey cried out as he waved his arms franticly.
Mokuba and the others quickly looked over to where he was. When they looked over they couldn't help but laugh and laugh they did. They saw Joey waving his arms crazy in the air with a freighted look on his face. It looks as though he's getting chased by a hound of dogs like that, but he was running in place. Mokuba tried to stiffen his laugh as he walked over to him and looked behind him.
There he saw was a girl with a sketch book on her lap and head phones covering her ears. No wonder she couldn't hear Joey's freighted words since she turned them on in full blast. The girl has brown hair with blonde highlights just like Katrina's except that she wore her hair down. She was wearing bluish black colored tennis shoes, navy blue shorts, and a black blouse with a v-cut. Her blouse was cut off from one side trailing down towards her thigh while the other side stayed short. It was a sleeveless blouse with a red colored rose pinned on her left.
Mokuba looked at her then at Joey then back at her as he tapped her on the shoulder. The girl looked up at him as she gave him a smile and turned off her CD player while taking off her head phones.
"Hi," she said as she gave him a warm smile her greenish grayish bluish eyes had shown when she looked up at him.
"Hi, um… I'm sorry to say this, but can you get off from my brother's trench coat? He can't move," he responded as he pointed down from where she sat.
"Huh…" she looked down and saw a ruffle of purple fabric as she quickly jumped off and turned around to see the man behind her had collapsed on the ground.
"S-so tired c-can't get u-up," Joey stuttered as he picked himself up with both of his arms.
Li and Ella quickly ran to where Joey collapsed as they kneeled down beside him on either side.
"Seto are you okay?" Ella asked while she tried to help him up.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" Joey answered back while climbing back to his feet.
"Are you sure, Seto," Li inquire as she too tried to help him up.
Joey just gave them a brief nod. The girl who sat on Joey's trench coat looked over at him in the face when her eyes widened.
"You're Seto Kaiba!" the girl announced as she went up to him and looked at him up close.
"Uh… yeah…" Joey answered lamely.
"I'm really, really, sorry for sitting on your coat Seto! I really am! I didn't know that I was sitting on it when your brother came over told me and I didn't know from the very beginning when I wanted to draw this cool picture and I'm really sorry" she confessed while she kept bowing towards him in apology.
"It's okay, will you stop that," he ordered while she ceased her constant bow.
"Sorry… by the way I'm Michelle," she introduced herself then she placed her sketch book under her arm and held her CD player while she held out a hand.
Joey took hold of it and gave it a gentle shake once then released her. She took hold of her sketch book once again as she scanned the people surrounding him. Ruby, Katrina, and Sanyu walked over to where Mokuba stood.
Rudy looked over at the younger Kaiba, "Hey Mokuba I gotta go."
"Where you're going? Don't tell me you're going home all ready," Mokuba replied.
Ruby smiled a bit, "Nope, I'm just going to go find Tori. I bet he's all alone and scared right about now," she mentally cried as she looked the other way.
Mokuba, Sanyu, and Katrina sweat-dropped, as they all watched her trot away from them while waving over her shoulder. Back with the other group; Joey just stared at the girls while they were just staring blankly at each other.
"Uh…" Joey started but stopped when he felt there gazes on him.
Ella took hold of his left arm, "So Seto what do you wanna do now?"
"Hey Seto, why won't you hang out with me and let these people go amongst themselves," said Li as she too took hold of his other arm.
"No way, Seto I just got here why won't we both do something," inserted Michelle as she took hold of his trench coat with her right hand.
"Um… uh…" Joey stuttered when sweat started to form.
Sanyu looked over at Mokuba, "Don't you think we should help your brother, Mokuba?"
"I guess your right…"
"Hey Mokuba I thought your brother is a ruthless cold guy and here he is acting all nice and jittery," Katrina concluded when she looked over at Mokuba.
"I… uh… made Seto promise to be nice today, that's all," Mokuba replied as he shook his head affirming that it's true.
"Oh…" the two chorused.
Joey looked over at Mokuba in a pleading look on his face. 'Take dem away from me! You gotta help me Mokuba,' Joey thought.
'Poor Joey… if Seto was actually here he would be yelling at them to get off, but alas he isn't… Also the fact that Joey isn't much of my brother… JOEY YOU IDIOT! ACT LIKE HIM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!' Mokuba thought furiously.
The blue-eyed brunette tried to struggle out of their grasp, but for a bunch of girls they sure did have a tight grip on him. The grayish eyed boy heaved out a sigh then turned to the remaining people on his side.
Mokuba looked over at them with a serious look on their face, "Okay, here's the thing, I thought up a plan to help my brother out and I need your help."
The two nodded as they huddled together. Minutes later they broke out from there position and faced the crazed fan girls and the struggling 'Seto.'
Mokuba looked over at them, "Ready… Set… Go!"
The three ran over to them as they tried their hardest to bring them down by tackling them. It worked, as the boys quickly grabbed 'Seto' to his feet and ran as heck.
The girls got up from where they lay, "What the hell hit us!"
They looked around to see that the boys are running off while the other girl, Mokuba's friend Katrina, ran off in the other direction where the games were located.
"We'll deal with her later," Michelle replied as she clambered to her feet followed by the others.
Li and Ella nodded their heads in agreement.
"Seto you can't run away from us!" they cried as they ran after them.
Joey ran while looking over at the two boys running along side him, "Man you guys saved me. I thought I was a goner."
"Save the hugs for later Seto we have to hide," Mokuba responded back.
Sanyu looked over at the side to see a perfectly sized building. "Over there," he said as he pointed over at the building.
"COME BACK!" the girls called out just a couple of meters away from them.
"QUICK HEAD FOR COVER!" the boys cried as they dived in to the building.
The three girls halted in front of the building.
"No fair!" Li pouted as she glared up at the building.
"Yeah I know! I can't believe they went in there!" Ella cried.
"How dare they go into the forbidden zone!" Michele growled.
Sanyu looked out the window of the building as he let out a sigh of relief and turned back to face his partner in crime and the use to be hostage.
"We'll be safe in here for now," Sanyu replied while he looked over at the duo.
Mokuba looked over at him, "Yeah, for now… Who knows they might come up with a plan to get in here and if not… we might going to have to live here…"
"NOOO! I don't want to live here!" Joey exclaimed, "It's bad enough that I'm getting chased by a bunch of girls! But living here is far worst! I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN THIS SMELLY BATHROOM!"
Mokuba and Sanyu looked at each other then let out a sigh and a sweat-drop.
"Your brother doesn't do well under pressure now does he?"
"Nope…"
