In the Company of Wealth
Chapter 2 --- Decision
Seto Kaiba stumbled down the dark sidewalk; cheeks flushed and vision swimming. He leaned against a lamppost, eyes crossing as he spotted Kaiba Corp and stumbled forwards. In two hours he would lose everything...his wealth...his home...his job...he would lose everything, everything he had worked hard to achieve. He poured his sweat and blood into Kaiba Corp. Now the only thing in which he would still own would be his disgraceful name, his disgraceful future, his disgraced brother...and his deck.
Tripping, he caught himself on the ground as a car vroomed by, splashing dirty water into the CEO's face, yelling incoherent words. He hiccupped and stood up again, stumbling on to his company. No, it wasn't his company anymore...it will be Malsworth's. His own pride will be ripped from him, as everything else.
He ground his teeth. No. . . he could not go out like this; he could not become a desperate beggar! He wouldn't become some hobo! He wouldn't be a homeless man with shame! No, he couldn't! He was Seto Kaiba, and Seto Kaiba never lost without a battle.
Though. . .what battle was there left for him to fight? There were no more pieces on the board left on his side, no more places for him to move or even capture a rook. He had nothing left. . .nothing but his damned shame.
Mokuba would be better without you. . .hissed the intoxication boiling in his mind. Mokuba would be better off without you and your damned shame, all of your damned self.
Kaiba stopped for a moment, looking upon the towering Kaiba building. Would Mokuba be better off without him? Would Mokuba be happier without such a brother as he? A damned brother who abused him to get what he wanted. How could Mokuba still love him after everything? Was his brother such a fool as he? Seto knew no answer to these questions. He didn't know any of the answers he had once known before. . .did he really even know himself?
No . . . you know nothing of yourself Seto Kaiba. You are a beggar, nothing more than an idiot in wolf's clothing. You only succeeded because luck was on your side, luck and nothing more.
Was that true? Was he nothing more than an idiot who had succeeded because of luck? Either way, he was foolish even to think for once that his company could succeed through everything, that he was invincible. This made him foolish, and this made Seto no more than a mere puppet to the liquor.
You, Seto Kaiba, are no more than a mere orphan, an orphan without anything. Your brother loves you because he is as foolish as you are. Mokuba would be better off without you.
The black asphalt beckoned him, cooed him as the sharp sound of a horn erupted through the air.
Better off without you Seto. . .
The yellow lines swam in the blackness as he released the tension in which he had held for so long, the same tension, which forbid him to smile, forbid him to hug, forbid him to fully love.
Mokuba would be happier. . .
The horn sharply cut through the air yet again as the sound of brakes screeched towards him.
. . .Happier without you. . .
. . .Well, anyone raising an axe yet or sicing their plotbunnies on me? Just to reassure you, Kaiba was very drunk, liquor can do that to a person. And to clarify things, it was the liquor which was talking to him. I know you might say it's not possible for liquor to talk to you, but it is, for the liquor disables your senses.
Anyway . . . hate to enforce again but . . .
