Nobody Cares Like a Bear! By Eveilly Autumns
Chapter 5: Hide and Seek in the Kaiba mansion part II

Seto Kaiba was furiously searching the first half of the hallway for hidden care bears, but was becoming more agitated by the minute. After all, he was practically turning the place inside out but hadn't found one single pesky bear! He could only hope Mokuba was having better luck…

"Finally…" Mokuba whispered after he managed to hide all of the care bears. Now he just needed to keep an eye on Seto to make sure he wouldn't find them.

"Seto!" Mokuba began, as he met his brother in the hallway. "I couldn't find any of them."

Kaiba practically growled as he thought about the bears. "Those pathetic cowards, trying to hide from me…"

"Maybe they already left the house…" Mokuba said, hoping his brother would believe him.

"I doubt it…they wouldn't be able to get out…no, let's just keep searching the entire house…" Kaiba said.

"Ok…" Mokuba agreed, knowing that he wouldn't be able to override his brother's decision, "I'll go this way…"

"Good. And if you find any of those bears…just hold them until I'm ready to…see them…" Kaiba said though he more meant torturing or killing them than seeing them. But Mokuba left, off to Seto's room to talk to Tenderheart bear and Seto began the 2nd half of the best hide and seek game he had ever played.

Seto looked high and low and everywhere in between to find those freakin care bears but he couldn't find them anywhere. He thought that maybe he was just too eager and needed to calm down and search more thoroughly. Still, he wondered how the bears had found such good hiding spots even though they had never been in his house before…

Wait, Seto thought, I haven't even been searching the empty rooms or the rooms I never use…they probably hid in those rooms thinking that I wouldn't enter them…Kaiba could picture him opening one of the rooms and all the little bears would be inside, huddling in a corner for dear life, completely at his mercy…

"This room…" Kaiba said as he opened the door to the old, unused room where unfortunately, Cheer bear was hiding in the piano.

"Oh no…" Cheer bear thought as she heard someone enter the room. Though it could be Mokuba…it was too soon for him to come back; it had to be Kaiba. "What should I do…?"

Kaiba scanned the room, looking for any trace of movement, but saw none. Still, that didn't mean that there wasn't a bear hidden…so Kaiba began literally ripping off the drapes that covered the furniture.

Cheer bear heard him doing this and knew that it would only be a matter of time before he reached the piano. She had to get outta there. So, very carefully, she lifted the piano top up and peeked out into the room. She waited until Seto had his back tuned to her and then quietly and carefully, she climbed out onto the piano seat. Then, as Seto bent down to look under a sofa, she ran and hid under a chair that he had already searched. But now she still had to get out of the room… "Huh?" she asked as she stepped on something. It was, conviently,an old brass doorknob and Cheer bear knew she could use it to escape. She waited until Kaiba was looking the other way again and then took aim and hurled the doorknob at the piano. It hit its target head-on.

Kaiba was beginning to wonder whether Mokuba was right about the care bears leaving the house...when he heard it, a piano note. He grinned evilly and walked over to the piano. "You can't escape now," he said as he thrust the piano open. At the same time, Cheer bear made a mad dash for the door and ran into the hallway, no idea where she was going.

"What?" Kaiba mumbled, seeing that the piano was empty. "How?" he wondered how the care bear could have escaped. Maybe it was just a mouse that had hit the key…but then he saw it: the evidence that a care bear had been there. A tiny strand of fur was stuck in between two of the keys in the piano. He pulled the fur out; it was pink. That meant that a care bear had to have been there. But how could it escape? Kaiba searched the rest of the room but of course he found nothing since Cheer bear was already halfway across the house.

"Cheer bear!" Tenderheart said as Cheer bear ran past Kaiba's room. Tenderheart was keeping an eye on the hallway in case Kaiba came that way or if another bear needed him…

"Tenderheart! What are you doing in Seto's room?" Cheer bear asked, stopping.

"This is my hiding place. But why aren't you in your's?"

"Seto almost found me! I escaped just in time and he didn't see me but…"

"Quick, then, you can hide in here with me!" Tenderheart replied, pulling Cheer bear into the room and closing the door. "Mokuba said that he was on his way to tell all the bears that if they suspect that they might get caught to come to Seto's room. He must not have reached you yet, but he'll probly be coming back here to tell me that you're not in your hiding spot…" And no sooner had Tenderheart's words left his mouth than Mokuba entered the room.

"There you are!" Mokuba said to Cheer bear, "you weren't in your hiding spot,"

"Seto almost caught her but she's ok now. Did you tell all of the other bears about coming here if they think they might get caught?" Tenderheart asked.

"Yeah, everyone knows."

"Did you run into Seto on your way here?" Cheer bear asked.

"No, he must have left the room you were hiding in to search someplace else…"

And indeed he was searching someplace else. Though he was furious that one bear had escaped, at least now he knew that the bears were still in the house…somewhere.

His next stop was the library.

Kaiba entered the library and scanned it quickly. Nothing seemed out of order. He highly doubted that a bear could hide behind the books, and he was turning to leave….

BAM! A book fell off the shelf. Kaiba knew someone had to knock it off...and it wasn't Jimmy Joe.

"Oops…" Sherry bear said. She was trying to move behind the books so that she could go to Kaiba's room like Mokuba said, but she had accidentally knocked off a book. Real smooth.

"What should I do?" she thought as Kaiba inched closer and in no time was right in front of the book she was hiding behind. Now he was reaching out for the book…poor Sherry bear did the only thing she felt she could do…she pushed at the book with all her might. It fell right off the shelf...and went splatonto Kaiba's head. Sherry bear thought that that was either the smartest thing she'd ever done…or the most insane. Either way, she bought herself enough time to crawl onto higher shelves, away from Seto's grasp.

Kaiba had momentary shock from Sherry bear pushing the book at him, after all, who would dare do such a thing? But the shock only lasted a second as it quickly turned to rage and Kaiba spotted Sherry bear climbing the bookshelf higher and higher. Cursing under his breath, he tried to think of how to reach her…

Sherry bear knew Seto was no fool and that soon he would think of a way to reach her. There was only one way to escape safely…hey, if it had worked with one book, wouldn't it work with more? And before Seto knew what hit him, (literally) more books were raining down on him.

A couple hit him, though they didn't really hurt.And it wasn't long before Kaiba was dodging the books with ease. The question was, how could he reach the bear while still dodging books? And it didn't take him long to figure it out. Instead of dodging books, he began catching them and throwing them back at Sherry bear. He didn't stop to aim much so none of the books he threw hit her dead on like he hoped, but they did start knocking even more books down. Sherry bear kept moving to where more books were so she could push them off, but she knew that eventually she would be out of books…but Kaiba would not. Then what would she do?

But at the current time, the book war was still in full bloom as more books came cascading down on Kaiba, and shooting up to Sherry bear. There were books flying right, left, up, down, sideways, diagnol, in v-shaped formations, you name it. Heck, there were even a couple craching through the window. The only reason no one heardthe bookswas because Kaiba had sound mufflers placed around the library room so that nothing could disturb him when he was reading. Rich people can do stuff like that. But after a little over a half hour, poor Sherry bear was out of books. She couldn't climb down or Kaiba would be able to reach her. She was trapped and Kaiba knew it.

Kaiba smirked. "I guess you've run out of ammo, too bad. I have plenty," he said and bent down to pick up some books. This was Sherry bear's only chance; it was now or never. In a split second Sherry bear jumped down onto a lower shelf and with all her might, pushed off a book, right at Seto who didn't see it coming since he was bending down to pick up books. But then he looked up and his grin dissolved as he saw a book hurtling down at him, and there was no time to react.

But it wasn't just any book falling towards him. It was Webster's most complete ever dictionary and thesaurus revised version 6. Man, that was gonna hurt.

BAM!

It collided with Seto right on the head as Sherry bear jumped down and darted out the door. "Sorry, Seto," she said as she left but Seto could barely hear her as his head was throbbing. He was lucky that he hadn't been knocked out, but his head was still spinning. He tried to stand but he had to fall back on one knee, clutching his head. Man, that was gonna leave a mark. He stayed like that for a while. At least enough time for Sherry bear to make it up to the safety of Kaiba's room.

After about ten minutes, Kaiba was up and about again. He still had a headache but other than that, he was pretty much ok. But though his head wasn't bruised so badly, his pride sure was. He had let another bear escape. Had he been underestimating them? Well, that wasn't gonna happen again. Kaiba cursed at himself for even thinking of the care bears as a worthy enemy…

Kaiba walked into the living room and glanced about. He sat down on the couch, thinking about where to look next. But then he saw some soot on the rug by the fireplace. The maid always kept it spotless…unless someone else had made the mess. Could a care bear be in the fireplace?

Wish bear had heard Kaiba enter the room and knew that he would probably look up the fireplace. So he had crawled down into the soot and covered himself from head to foot with it (like in 101 dalmations). He was lucky that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time so there was plenty of soot.

Kaiba walked over to the fireplace and opened it up. He quietly looked up it but saw no bear and so he began looking around inside. Wish bear knew there wasn't much time. Kaiba was digging around inside the soot and would find her soon…what should she do? But Wish bear didn't have to do anything. While he was digging around, Kaiba knocked over a log and it stirred up a big cloud of soot. Kaiba immediately pulled back and began brushing the soot from his clothes. Wish bear saw her chance and hopped out of the fireplace and away. She was about to head up the stairs when she realized something. "Oh no! I'm leaving pawprints…from the soot!" But it was too late to go back and erase them now so Wish bear just wiped her paws on the rug and sprinted up the stairs to Seto's room where the others helped her clean up.

Kaiba had pretty much gotten the soot off of him but there were a few spots left. He turned around and saw the footprints. Had yet another bear escaped? Impossible! And not only had that bear escaped but now his clothes needed to be washed too… "Wait…washed, the laundry room…I bet there's a bear hiding in there," Kaiba whispered and dashed off for the laundry room.

Of course Kaiba was right. Sunshine Bear was hiding in the washing machine, and had covered himself with laundry to make sure he wasn't visible. Little did he know that his yellow paw was sticking out…

Kaiba busted into the room and thrust open the linen closet door. No bear in there. He opened the dryer but that was empty too. Next, the washing machine…it appeared to have nothing but laundry in it. But then Kaiba saw a little yellow paw sticking out…it had to be a bear. There was no escape now. Kaiba turned the dial up to 'MAX POWER' and switched the machine on. It quickly began filling up with ice cold water and then began to spin faster and faster. Sunshine bear screamed but his voice was muffled over the sound of the splashing water and Kaiba's evil laughs.

"You should know better than to mess with me!" Kaiba screamed, amoung other things,between laughs.

Sunshine was running out of air. How could he escape? Unless…he could create a balloon big enough to pop open the top of the machine. Yes, care bears can create balloons in the shape of the symbol on their tummies, so Sunshine began blowing up a balloon (sun-shaped) larger and larger. Kaiba was too busy basking in his glory to notice it. And just as Sunshine thought he couldn't hold his breath any longer, the balloon grew large enough to make the washing machine top pop open. Hurray for balloons!

Kaiba stopped laughing and could barely believe his eyes. How did the machine open? Sunshine came out, breathing hard, and made a run for the door. He was so frantic to escape that he didn't realize where he was going (and he was more than a little dizzy) and knocked over something that made him topple over onto a chair. "No, he's got me now!" Sunshine thought but Kaiba wasn't looking at him. He was looking at the can that Sunshine had knocked over. It was a can that the maid had put there, and though it wasn't open when Sunshine knocked it over, the top was not on tight so it came open and leaked. Kaiba stared at it in horror. It could have been arsenic, cyanide, bleach, or anything but it was much worse…

It was pink dye.

And it had spilled on Kaiba's white trenchcoat.

Kaiba knew the maid used the dye to make all her clothes pink…but now his trenchcoat was pink. His favorite trenchcoat. It had been laid there on the table to dry but now... And sure, it wasn't all pink, but it was half pink. Now someone was gonna pay for it…and not with money, but with thier life and not to mention their sanity. Kaiba started at Sunshine and gave him a look that meant the equivalent of 'death.' Kaiba grabbed the bottle and hurled it at Sunshine. It missed and bounced off his chair onto the floor. Sunshine made a mad dash for it and grabbed it just as Kaiba snatched him up by his feet.

"You little…" Kaiba began but couldn't finish as Sunshine squeezed the bottle of liquid dye and what was left in it went squirting out at Kaiba…right in the face. "Agh," Kaiba dropped Sunshine. His eyes were burning from the dye. Sunshine dashed out of the room and up the stairs, dropping the terrifying can of pink dye as he went. Who knew what a good weapon it could be.

Kaiba finally finished washing out his face and eyes in the sink. He stared at his reflection in the mirror. There were blotches of pink hair. He splashed water on them and tried to rub it off with a towel but it was no use. He walked back over to the stairs where the can of dye laid on the floor. He picked it up and would of squeezed it to death had he not been worried that there might still be some left in it. He read the label which unfortunately read 'PERMANENT.' He hoped that the label meant nothing, after all, it could just be cheap dye that came off after a while. Then again, nothing in the Kaiba mansion was cheap. So instead Kaiba hoped that it was only permanent for clothes, not his hair. And he hoped that there was someone out there that could get the dye out of his beloved trenchcoat.

Either way, his level of anger had risen a few notches. He had gone from 'wanting to kill the bears' to 'wanting to brutally murder the bears several times.' Throwing the can of dye at the wall, he trudged up the stairs, knowing that the yellow bear menace had gone up there, and passed the attic door. He hadn't been up there in years. But he was guessing that a care bear had been.

End of Chapter 5

Ok, so it doesn't seem so long when you read it but when you type it…it does then.

By the way, you were probly like 'yeah right, like Sunshine could blow up a balloon to pop the washing machine open, give me a break' but it's true! I saw it in the…looks down shamefully care bear movie and Tenderheart made a heart balloon blow up when he was in a cage. It blew up big enough to open it up! Yes, 'tis true.
