Chapter 5
-Duke-
Duke sat across the table from Grimson and Rob. "Now tell us what really happened. We know you didn't go home after the movies, because we found your hair at the crime scene."
"And we'll soon enough have a warrant to search your house" Rob stated, smirking over at Duke. Duke glared, but knew on the inside he was in a pretty bad situation. "Now tell us why you did it" Rob said. Duke sat there in silence, he could feel his legs shaking from fear under the table.
Duke glared at Rob, "I didn't do anything." Rob stood up slamming his hands on the table. "We know you shot Yugi! Don't try to lie to us, we have all the evidence saying you did this, now who put you up to this!" Rob yelled. Grimson looked over at Rob, and slowly shook his head. Rob nodded and understood as he slowly sat back down. "Well?" Grim asked, turning back to Duke. Duke was still looking down at the weapon. You could tell he was debating with himself on what to say next, he's legs were shaking.
"I…" Duke stopped, "He'll kill me" Duke said softly. "What was that?" Grim asked, eyeing Duke. "Nothing… no one put me up to anything. That night I came back to get my cell phone that Joey had been holding for me, when I got there, I saw Bakura with the gun. I tried to stop him, but he just shot Yugi and ran."
"A likely story, your coming with me" Rob said as he got up and hand cuffed Duke. Grim remained in the seat, scratching his beard as he pondered his thoughts and Rob pushed him out of the room. Grim had reason to believe that Duke wasn't who they were looking for.
-Seto-
Seto threw tiny pebbles at the wall. They hadn't said anything else after they told him about Kura and Kari. Seto was worried. Mainly about Kura and Mokuba. But wait, if Kura and Kari had been watching Mokuba when that had happened… then what happened to Mokuba? Were they keeping something out of the picture? Had Mokuba been kidnapped? This only angered Seto more, at the CIA and himself. He couldn't take it anymore, Kura and Mokuba were the most important people to him, and yet he failed time and time again to protect him. He had a sworn duty and he failed it.
Seto had never taken failure easily. His step father taught him that failure was almost as bad as giving up to your mortal enemy. And Seto would be completely at shock if he was in a position to give up to Yugi. Seto looked over at the metal bunk bed that he was leaning on. There were tons of springs that were popping out of the side of the bed, and on top of it. Which made sleeping a lot of harder. But Seto focused the ones on the sides, which looked almost as sharp as the metal needles on barbed wire. He pulled up his sleeve, and slowly put his wrist to the spring, cutting in a deep long cut across his arm.
Red began to darken from the newly made cut as it began to bleed. Seto heard footsteps and quickly pulled back his sleeve in the proper place, trying to ignore the pain in his arm. "Mr. Kaiba" a police officer said, "The sherrif has allowed you to see the Miss Bruder you had requested to see" he said. Seto quickly got up brushed himself off, and followed the police man who held him by the shoulder to make sure Seto wouldn't get away.
-Hospital-
Kura gazed out the window at the beautiful sky. The sky was always beautiful in the daylight. It always reminded herself of her sister's hair in the day, and Seto's dark blue eyes at night. Kura glanced over at her sister who she could see was trying to read a book for school, but was having trouble reading it without getting bored. Kari gave up and threw it off her bed. "School is gay" Kari stated, crossed her arms like a child throwing a fit. Kura chuckled, "Kari… you know your need education."
"So? Who cares about education? What did education ever do to us? Make us stay up late till 2 in the morning? Yes… it's just SO annoying."
"Education is power, Kari, you know Mom always said that." Kari was silent, there was a knock on the door that caught her attention. The door opened, it was an officer. "The Mr. Seto Kaiba is here to see you" the police man said. He stepped aside as Setp stepped up, focusing only on one person; Kura. "Kura…" Seto said, running over to her bedside and giving her a giant hug. Kari could hear her sister as she began to cry. "Seto… I thought you had forgotten me when you didn't visit."
"I would never forget you Kura… I was in jail, they thought I did this to you." Kura looked away as she placed her hand on her stomach, "Seto, there's something I have to tell you…"
"I know already" Kura looked back up at Seto, "You do?" Seto nodded, "An officer told me. I was so worried about you, why hadn't you told me sooner?"
"I was afraid you'd be mad…" Seto simply smiled. "I would never be mad. I'd never even thought this would happen, but if you need anything, anything at all. I'll help. I'll pay for food, and school and everything. I'm not gonna leave you alone to raise your child by yourself."
"Well, it's not exactly just mine… it's yours too. So I was thinking…" Seto took out a small box, bent down on one knee, and showed her the ring. "We could get married?" Kura's eyes widened as her eyes filled up with tears once again. "Oh Seto… how did you"
"I was planning to ask you, way before I found out you were pregnant, I just didn't have the courage to ask you. So what do you say?"
"What do I say? I say YES! Of course, I would LOVE to marry you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" she exclaimed as she pulled Seto into a tight hug. Kari merely smiled, "Aw… so cute… any hey, that would mean me and Mokuba would be like brother and sister or something" Seto stopped. "Mokuba…" Seto broke off the hug and held Kura by her shoulders. "Kura… what happened to Mokuba?" he asked, looking her straight in the eyes. Kura was a bit taken back, she had never seen Seto this way before. I looked… afraid.
"I… I don't know" Kura said, almost ashamed. "What? What do you mean you don't know! What happened to him!" Seto yelled. Kura flinched in fear. "Hey! Leave her alone, it wasn't her fault we were attack!" Kari yelled. Seto let go of Kura and turned to Kari. "What happened to my little brother?" Seto asked in a dark voice. "Look, this is what happened" Kari said.
-Flashback-
'Poor little guy… he must be so scared…' Kari thought. There was soon a knock on the door. "I'll get it" Kura said, walking over to the door. She looked through the door hole(A/N: Whatever the hell you call itX.X) and saw a dark figured man at the door. Kura slowly backed away. He knocked once again. "Are you going to get the door Kura?" Kari asked, as she walked over to the door to open it. "No Kari" Kura said, suddenly the man smashed something against the door. There was a huge crack in it as he slammed whatever he had again.
"Kari, run. Get Mokuba and hide."
"But what about"
"JUST GO!" she pushed Kari into another room as the door was knocked down. Kura screamed as the man shot her.
Kari had Mokuba in her arms as she ran upstairs. She could hear him as he swiftly ran through the small apartment room. She had to hide him quick or else they were doomed. Kari quickly shoved Mokuba into the closet and shut the door. The man ran into the room. Kari could feel her heart pounding her chest violently as he slowly stepped closer and closer towards her. She had her back to the door now, sweat dripped down her face.
There was a scream.
-End of flashback-
"And that's all I remember, I tried my best to protect him, but I dunno if he got him after he shot me." Seto was speechless. Partly from shock for what Kari had done, and from fear of what might've become of his beloved brother. "You did that… for Mokuba?" Seto asked, thinking of the likelihood of him ever saving one of Yugi's friends, which would be never. Kari shrugged, "Eh, what could I say, I love the kid like he was my own, and Kura and I would never wanna let you down unless we got shot in the process." Kura gave a little smile.
Seto opened his mouth to thank her when the door opened, and there was a nurse standing at the doorway. "Mr. Kaiba, it's time for us to bring Kari and Kura into surgery" she said. Seto looked over at Kura, "Surgery?"
"Let's just say that our organs didn't really like getting shot" Kari said, giving a half smile. Seto got up and stepped back as the nurse wheeled Kari away. He looked back over at Kura, he walked back over to her bedside, "Don't you dare die on me, ok?"
"You know I can't promise you that"
"Well, you have to try. You're the only person I really care about other than Mokuba, and I would give anything to make sure you were both safe."
"I know you would Seto…" Kura said softly, looking away as tears began to swell up in her eyes. Seto placed his hand on her cheek, she looked back up at Seto. "Oh Seto…" Seto bent down and kisses her, just as the nurse wheeled her away. Seto stood in the room until Kura was out of his sight.
Kura sat on the hospital bed in discomfort, she was a bit afraid of going into operation and the idea of someone cutting her opened. But her thoughts were put on hold when she saw a few drops of blood on her shirt. But that couldn't have been possible, her wounds were all sewn up, and Seto's hand appeared to be fine. But his sleeve did look wet, but since it was black, she couldn't really tell if he had been bleeding or not. This only worried her more as she was finally wheeled into the operating room.
-Mokuba-
"What are we gonna do with him?"
Mokuba slowly opened his eyes. He felt cold, and his back ached. Mokuba looked around as he Sat up, he had no idea where he was or how he even got there. All he could remember was Kari getting shot, and then some man opening the closet he was hidden in and knocking him out.
"We'll just keep him with us now, no use killing him now. They would only know that Kaiba didn't do it."
"They already know it wasn't Kaiba, the Bruder sisters woke up already and told the police all that had happened."
"Damnit… then I guess we'll just have to use this to our advantage and try to pin this on Kaiba. How about Duke, where is he?"
"The police already found him out. They have him in jail now, I dunno wether he told them or not already about the murder."
"Then we'll just have to get rid of him, I can't risk him giving away our secret and location."
"What of Mokuba?" the man smiled. "I have just the answer to that question."
