The Forbidden Love

Chapter Two: Before The Trip…

At the Kaiba Mansion, a frustrated Seto Kaiba was working on some company paperwork.

"What the hell did that guy mean?" he thought to himself. "How did he know all that information? How?" In his thoughts he did not realize that someone was knocking on the door.

"Great." Seto thought. "Now what?" With a stern voice, he said, "Come in." From the doorway came in Roland.

"Sir. I'm sorry to disturb you."

"What is it, Roland."

"You wanted me to report to you when all the preparations of tomorrow's trip was finished."

"And?"

"It's all done, sir. You're all ready for tomorrow."

"Fine, fine." It was obvious that Seto was rushing Roland to get out of there. "Make sure that I'm not disturbed. No more interruptions."

"Yes sir." Roland then left and Seto was left alone again. Another knock on the door.

"I thought I told you, no more interruptions!"

A different voice was heard, "Sorry, sorry."

"Hold on, I know that voice." Seto thought to himself. He quickly opened the door to find his brother, Mokuba, standing there. "Mokuba? What are you doing there?"

Mokuba just stood there. "You know why I'm here."

"Is it about my business trip?" Seto asked.

"You should know." Mokuba replied.

"You know, my answer is finial."

"Why is it 'final'?"

"Because…I don't want you to miss your school work again."

And so the endless arguments and resentments began…

"That's not a good reason."

"Education is everything, Mokuba. How come you can't understand that? I pulled you out of school because of Battle City, the opening of Kaibaland and when you were hospitalized because of that attack Bakura did towards you. How can I forget all that?"

"You can just forget about it!" Mokuba shouted. "Forget about everything! Who you are! You're not the same brother I used to know way back when! You're the great Seto Kaiba, you can do anything!"

"That's right, I can do anything!" Seto shouted back. "It is because of how my work paying off after all these years!"

"All I'm asking you to bring me along! Is that to much to ask!"

"Yes, it is! Because education is more important than anything else in the world! Making yourself known is important! Having power is important!"

"Says you!"

"That's right, says me! You're going to question my actions one more time!"

"I'm at the point where I doubt that you're my brother! You're at the point where nothing matters to you but your work! You're at the point where you think I'm nothing more than…"

"ENOUGH!"

Total silence filed the room. After a few minutes staring each other in the eyes, Mokuba walked out of the room. No anger, no fear, no emotions were shown. Seto buried his face in his own hands.

"My brother is slipping away and I'm the cause…"He then remembered the voice on the phone.

"Once you've arrived at your destination, you are going to meet with someone who is going to grow fond of you. You may think of her as annoying but you'll change. You'll change the relationship of your brother and you will change yourself…"

He thought. He thought again about the words. He shut off the computer and closed the cover. He turned off the lights.

"The guy better be right about this…He's my only hope if I'm gonna save this relationship. Mokuba is the only person I care for. I'm not going to let anything or anyone take him away from me…Not again…"

A personal feeling that Kaiba doesn't show to often. I wonder what will happen next? Anyways, please R&R and I'll see you around. (Or not…whatever…)
