Nobody Cares Like a Bear!
By Eveilly Autumns
Chapter 4: Hide and Seek in the Kaiba mansion Part I
Mokuba's room>
"Are you sure that'll work?" Good Luck bear asked Mokuba after he had explained his plan.
"Yeah, it'll work perfectly!" Mokey said piling through his huge closet, looking for something."Here it is!" he said, pulling out a stuffed animal of…
Grumpy Bear.
"It looks just like him!" Sunshine said.
"It does not!" Grumpy Bear argued.
"Well, it's close enough. I won it at the arcade I think, and it's a good thing I kept it," Mokuba said. "Let's hurry before Seto gets here!"
Hallway>
Seto Kaiba was creeping closer and closer to Mokuba's door. He was only a few doors away from it. As soon as he got there the supposed 'care bears' would be trapped. Kaiba smiled. It was almost schiskabob time.
Maid's room>
RRRIIIIIIINNNNGGG! The phone rang at the psychiatrist's office.
The maid had looked up the best psychiatrist, Dr. Anthony, that she could find in the phone book. Sure, it was late, but then you would think psychiatrists would be used to things like late calls…based on the type of clients they have…
"Hello?" a female voice on the other end answered.
"Hello," the maid began, "is Dr. Anthony there?"
"Hold on one second…oh yes, he's just about to leave."
"Could you let me speak to him please, this is important!"
"Hold on…"
"Hello, this is Dr. Anthony," the doctor answered.
"Yes, well, Doctor, I'm calling because I think that someone I know needs your help."
"Yes," the Doctor answered, sounding a bit irritated, "whom?"
"My boss…you see I'm a maid at the Kaiba Mansion."
"Oh really…" the doctor perked up, contemplating how much money he could get out of a deal involving the Kaiba's.
"Yes, you see, Master Seto has been acting very oddly this night…."
"How so?" Dr. Anthony asked.
"Well…he seemed to be banging against an invisible barrier…right outside Master Mokuba's roon."
"An invisible barrier you say…perhaps he's delirious…has he been on any drugs lately?"
"Not that I know of…" the maid answered, wondering just how much she didn't know about her boss. "But he was also screaming and cussing out the…" she stopped.
"Yes, why'd you hesitate? Who was he cussing out?"
"The care bears."
"The care bears? Perhaps this is serious…"
"And I heard a loud banging noise and then I saw him walking around with a 3 foot long knife…" the maid said,
"Well, that does sound…questionable…but I'm sorry, I can't help until I have some solid proof that what you say is true."
"But how can I get proof?"
"Do you have a video camera?" Dr. Anthony asked.
"I could get one."
"Excellent. Then try to catch him in the act of doing one of these things…perhaps him carrying around the knife…anything that proves what you say is true."
"Ok. Well, thank you doctor, I'll be sure to get you that evidence…"
Back in Hallway>
As Seto continued coming closer to Mokuba's door, suddenly, the door swung open. And out came all of the care bears. They all piled out in a mob and sprinted away as quick as their stubby legs could carry them.
I've got them now…thought Kaiba as he charged after them. He had almost gone past Mokuba's door when…
…one more care bear came out.
Immediately Seto snatched up the bear, not even looking to see which one it was and began ripping it to shreds. His knife tore through the fluffy bear like butter and in no time it was reduced to a pile of mangled fur and fluff and it lay motionless on the floor. Kaiba smirked, proud of himself. Too bad he didn't know 2 things.
One, the bear he ripped up was not really a care bear at all, but Mokey's stuffed bear. Mokuba had thrown the fake bear right in front of his brother as a decoy. Knowing Kaiba wouldn't pass up the chance to maul down the bear, now the other care bears had time to hide.
And the second thing he didn't know was that the maid had caught the whole thing on video tape. "I think I got my proof…" she whispered.
Kaiba was just about ready to run off after the other care bears when Mokuba came out into the hallway.
"What's going on?" Mokuba asked, picking up the torn bear on the floor.
"I just killed one of those pathetic 'care bears,' though I doubt that any of them are really what they claim to be."
"But Seto," Mokuba began, "this is just my stuffed animal care bear."
"What?" Kaiba asked.
"The other care bears came into my room and tried to talk me into joining them to help you or something. But I refused. And then they just took my stuffed care bear that I got from the arcade last year and left."
"What…" Kaiba muttered again. No, it wasn't possible…did the care bears just outsmart him?
"Hey, what are you doing with that knife?" Mokuba asked. "It's dangerous."
"This knife is for hunting down and murdering those little bears like dogs."
"But it's so dark…you can barely even see around here…what if you stab someone else instead?"
Mokuba had a point. He didn't want to go around stabbing anyone or anything other than the pathetic bears. "Then I guess I'll just have to shed some light on this situation," he said, walking over to the light switch. He flipped it.
But the lights didn't come on.
"What? What the hell…" he mumbled, flipping the switch over and over but it was no good. The care bears had cut the power. "Those—"
"I guess you should put the knife away then," Mokuba said. And as much as he hated to admit it, Kaiba knew he had to. After all, what if the care bears tried another one of their little tricks? It would not be good to fall down the stairs with a 3 foot long knife in hand. So Kaiba dropped the knife and let it lay next to the decoy Grumpy bear.
"What did they say to you?" Kaiba asked. "Did they say what their plans are?"
"No, they just tried to convince me to help them. But I said that I was with you."
Kaiba smiled. He could always count on Mokuba.
"So I guess we should look for them."
"Right, those bears are no match for the two of us. We'll find them in no time and then…I'll make them pay for disturbing me…" Kaiba said, already thinking about how he would torture them.
"Ok, so let's split up! We'll find them faster!" Mokuba suggested.
"They went left so they have to be somewhere on that side."
"Ok, then you search the first half of the left hallway and I'll search the second half. They couldn't of gone far," Mokuba said.
"Ok, then let's go…those bears won't know what hit them…"
So the Kaiba brothers left and Seto began searching the first half of the hallway, while Mokuba took the last half. Of course, what Mokuba had told Seto had been false. He was working with the care bears, and he had told the care bears to hide on the second half of the left hallway. Now he was going to find the perfect hiding spots for each of them until the cloud cars arrived.
"I hate lying to Seto but it's for his own good," Mokuba whispered, reaching one of the empty rooms on the hallway. All the care bears were huddled inside, waiting for him to arrive.
"Ok," Mokuba began, "the plan worked perfectly. Seto's searching the first half of the hallway. But he's really mad so we have to be quick. But don't worry, I already have all the hiding spots planned out."
"Good job, Mokey. We really appreciate all of your help," Tenderheart said.
"You can thank me latter, but right now, it's time for some extreme hide and seek."
Outside of Mokuba's room>
The knife and shredded bear remains were still on the floor outside of Mokuba's room. The maid quickly picked them up and took them back to her room. "If that doctor wants proof, he's got proof…"
Another part of the mansion>
"Ok, everyone follow me," Mokuba instructed as he led the care bears to their hiding spots. "Each of you is gonna hide in a different place since that'll make it harder for Seto to find you…here's the first place." Mokuba had stopped at a door.
"Where does the door lead?" Friend bear asked.
"To the attic, follow me," Mokey said and everyone obeyed. "The attic is huge but most of it is filled up with old boxes and insulation."
"Wow, it really is full," Sherry bear said as everyone got a look at the crowded attic.
"I've only been up here one time I think, but it'll be easy for one of you to hide in a box."
"Huh? What'd you say?" Friend bear asked since Secret bear was whispering something in Friend bear's ear. "Oh. Secret Bear says that he'll volunteer to hide up here but since it's kinda spooky he wants me to hide up here with him."
"I guess it would be ok, I mean, it's a huge place…and a good hiding spot. I don't know if Seto's ever even been up here," Mokuba said.
"Ok, Secret bear, let's hide!" Friend bear said and the two scurried over to some boxes.
"Then let's go onto the next spot," Mokuba said and after a little while they reached it. It was an old empty room on the end of the hallway. White drapes were placed on everything and the dust was at least an inch thick.
"This is one of the empty rooms in our house. Nobody ever comes in here. See, one of you can hide in the piano!" Mokuba said, lifting up the drape on the piano.
"But if we accidentally step on one of the keys…" Cheer Bear said.
"That's why it's perfect! Seto will never think that you'd hide in such an obvious place…just be careful not to really step on the keys."
"Ok, then I'll hide here," Cheer bear said and Mokuba helped her get into the piano.
"Now let's go to the laundry room," Mokuba said as everyone followed him there.(it's like follow the leader...)
"Ok," Mokey began once they were all inside, "Seto doesn't come in here since the maid does the laundry. One of you could hide in the washing machine," Mokuba said, hoping that Seto wouldn't find the bear and turn the machine on…
"Then I'll hide here," Sunshine said.
"Great," Mokuba said, lifting Sunshine inside, "but we have to hurry and hide everyone else…let's go downstairs!"
Mokuba and the care bears checked to make sure that the coast was clear before barreling down the stairs, trying to be as quiet as possible.(and of course they ended up sounding like a herd of elephants...)
"I don't think that was very quiet…" Mokuba said once they were safely downstairs. "We better speed this up!" So Mokuba started running through the lst floor of the Kaiba mansion, looking for quick hiding spots.
"Here!" he said, reaching the living room. "One of you can hide in the fireplace."
"I'll go," Wish bear said as everyone helped her up into the chimney. She covered herself with soot to blend in as well. Once she was securely hid, Mokuba ran to the library.
"One of you could hide behind some of the books…but it'd have to be the big ones," he said, finding the reference books.
"I bet I could fit behind there," Sherry bear said, and indeed she fit behind the huge books without so much as creating a gap.
Next stop was the kitchen. Mokuba wasn't too thrilled about any of the bears hiding in the kitchen since he had mental images of Seto roasting them alive, but still, he helped hoist Baby Hugs and Tugs up into the cabinets and told them not to go anywhere near any appliances. Though he wasn't sure if they listened…
"Ok, let's head to the basement," Mokuba said, making his way down the stairs. Seto had a huge supercomputer in there and Mokuba wasn't really supposed to mess with any of the stuff down there…
"Do I have to hide down here?" Grumpy Bear asked.
"It's a good place to hide though, isn't it?" Good luck inquired.
"Yeah, if we can find something to hide him under…but there's hardly anything. Seto does all his duel disk work down here, but…" then Mokuba spotted the perfect place. "I know where Seto would never think of looking!" he said, walking over to…
…Seto's briefcase.
Mokuba opened it up (he knew how since his brother made him carry it during battle city) and of course, all of Seto's rare cards were inside. "Here, let's take some out to make room." So tenderheart and good luck bear started helping him pile out rare cards and hiding them under the bookshelves.
"Oh no, I'm not going to hide in a suitcase!" Grumpy Bear complained.
"Don't complain now, Grumpy Bear, we don't have much time!" Good Luck said.
"That's enough space," tenderheart began, "hurry up and get in here."
"Oh, all right…"
"We'll leave it open just a little so you can breathe," Mokuba said.
"That makes me feel better…"
Mokuba, Good Luck bear, and Tenderheart then all went back upstairs and led Good Luck to his hiding place. "Here," Mokuba began, "this is a ventilator shaft. It's how the heat and cold air gets circulated to the rest of the house. Usually it's really small, but since our house is so huge the vents are huge too. You can hide in here," Mokuba said, lifting up the covering so Good Luck bear could squeeze in.
"You might want to go a lttle further down," Mokuba said.
"Ok, don't worry about me, your two go and get tenderheart hidden, Good Luck said and so Mokuba put the covering back on the vent and went back up to the 2nd floor with Tenderheart.
"Where am I hiding?" he asked.
"Somewhere that Seto would never look…" Mokuba said, stopping in front of…
…Seto's door.
"He'd never think that you'd hide in his own room!" Mokuba said as the two went inside. "Hey, Seto really didn't burn them!" Mokuba said, pointing to the care bear pajamas and slippers Seto had dropped on the floor.
"It looked like he was about to put them on when we walked in," Tenderheart said.
"I knew he liked that present all along!" Mokuba said. "Now where to hide you…how about under Seto's bed?"
"Sure," Tenderheart agreed and slid under the bed.
"Ok, mission accomplished!" Mokuba praised himself as he walked back into the hallway. "Just try to find them now, Seto!"
End of Chapter 4!
I had to make this chapter be2 parts 'cause other wise it would be too long…
I know it was boring at the end but I had to let all the care bears get into their hiding places…and next chapter Seto tries to find them and more craziness erupts…this chapter had more Mokuba in it than Seto, but next chapter will have more Seto than Mokuba…and Yugi makes another appearance plus I think the care bear cousins do too…
Thanks to mezu, Shrilanka-san, and Jade LeBeouf for reviewing!
Keep reviewing peoples! See you next chapty…
And don't forget to care!
