Act Four: Coming Face to Face with Destiny--I mean, Seto Kaiba
There he was, million dollar bills in hand, gravity defying trench-coat, large silver briefcase, slicked back brown hair, and a little brother to top it all off.
Strings' heart was beating faster than the pick-up truck that earned him his nickname all those years ago as his head turned to the frighteningly wealthy CEO.
Too bad for Strings. He didn't know of Seto Kaiba's vehement hate for anything that would have a normal person highly amused. Except for maybe Jounochi in a dog suit. Ha ha, good times.
And so, as Seto and little Mokuba walked by, Strings began portraying "The man in the box who couldn't get out".
...Do you remember that thing I said about Strings being in the Guinness Book of World Records for having tons of piercings?
Well, now would be a fitting time to tell you that Mokuba is afraid of guys with any sort of piercings at all ever since he learned first-hand that Pegasus has his nipples pierced.
Hey, you would be disturbed too. ...At least, I hope you would...
Well, you've probably seen this coming but when Mokuba's eyes established contact with Strings' form he let out a blood-piercing scream, therefore awaking his brother from his thoughts about work.
It's not that Seto Kaiba has to change the sheets at night whenever Mokuba gets creeped out, it's just that there are five things in this world that really piss him off.
One: Loosing.
Two: Being interrupted while thinking about work.
Three: Yuugi and his friends.
Four: Things and people that scare or kidnap his brother.
And Five: Hobos...and...Mimes.
The unfortunate Strings violated three things that piss Kaiba off. Namely, Number Two: interrupting Kaiba while he was thinking about work, Number Four: Scaring his brother, and lastly, Number Five: Being a mime.
After scolding Strings for ninety six minutes straight Seto Kaiba decided it was time to get back to thinking about work, and so he and the bawling Mokuba left Strings with echoes of the verbal beating of his life.
Not only that but people no longer indulged his unique style of mimeistry, as every time he even tried to get back into the miming gig he had memories of Seto's lingual abuse. Hence, he got an utterly terrified look on his face and everyone thought he belonged in the mental institution.
The fact that both he, and anyone who even considered being a mime do belong in the mental institution is beside the point.
The pain at loosing his one and only dream ever bore down upon him like a two-ton weight, and even looking at pictures of Pegasus modeling ladies underwear with his pierced nipples in the Sears magazines no longer gave him joy.
And so, he locked away his emotions, his feelings, and his desires. He became inhuman; he no longer slept, nor ate, nor moved from his spot in Domino Park. And in so doing becoming not only the servant of an evil villain hottie but also turning from the sad, sad man who needed to take a one-way trip to the Psychiatric Ward to the greatest, most infamous mime ever...

Pesky Authoress Notes:
BloodEngel: Sniffle. Sniffle. That ending made me cry. He finally got his dream but he had already locked himself away.
Yuzuki: Yet, it was locking himself away in the first place that made his dream come true. It's quite ironic, actually.
Strings: (does nothing)
BloodEngel: Ehh...what he means is, "review if you please and A) add this story to your favs. B) Add me, the author, to your favs. C) Check out my other stories or D) Flip me off and do nothing" yeah, that's what he means...
Yuzuki: Well, we'd better get out of here before Strings has to go duel the Pharaoh.
BloodEngel: Sigh. Yes, I suppose so.
Yuzuki and BloodEngel: (walk away)
...The faintest of smiles came across Strings face as he watched the two Vampire girls walk away...
