Chapter 2: New home
The next day was a big one for the Kenosha Sisters (their last name.) After all, today was the day they where going to go see their long lost childhood friend that they loved with all their hearts…
"OHH! When we get there I'm gonna kill me a Seto Kaiba!"
Or maybe not…
"Didn't we tell that idiot to meet us at the airport!" Asuka complained repeatedly. She had done nothing but do so since they exited the their flight…an hour ago.
"Nooo…. because you never called him; you don't even know his number," Mekko told her sister, giving her a stupid look that said: "now who's the idiot?"
Asuka just stood there with her back turned to her sister and faced the window.
In sight was the Kaiba Corp. building that stood all so much higher than all of the other buildings in Domino City.
It wasn't a big city, like Tokyo, in fact it wasn't even half the size of Tokyo…it was smaller! But since it was so famous for all of it's shops and gaming productions, people paid more attention to the attractions rather than the size. Asuka and Mekko had been one of the few people to recognize that little detail.
Asuka sighed and leaned her head against the glass.
Today was supposed to be a happy day where we all jumped for joy, and where the sky was bright and blue! Completely cloudless…and yet…
CLASH! BOOM!
It's raining…and there is no joy…!
"Sooky-chan?"
"What!"
"Are we gonna leave the airport any time soon, cause I'm getting kind of hungry…" Mekko complained.
Asuka turned and picked up her bags and, with her head still sagged, she replied, "Yeah, let's go…"
Mekko, happy to finally hear these words exclaimed, "YES! Good because I was starting to think we were gonna be here forever!"
Asuka didn't reply…just continued to slug down the isle of people towards the door.
I hope he makes this worth my while.
Meanwhile at the Kaiba Mansion…
"Aww man!" Mokuba complained as he beat his head against the window, angry to see that it was raining already.
"I though the weather man said it wasn't suppose to start until this afternoon," Mokuba said.
"It is the afternoon, Mokuba," Seto said blandly, all while typing on his computer.
"But I really wanted us to go somewhere today, Seto-chan. I wanted us to hang out together…" Mokuba said in a sad tone as he turned slightly to look at his brother, whom still typed away on the computer.
Since he was doing so, said person didn't answer…but worked.
That's all he ever does nowadays! Mokuba thought with a grunt, Work! Work! Work! What ever happen to him actually missing spending time with me!
Another loud BOOM came from the sky outside, soon followed by a streak of lightning.
Mokuba just groaned and got up from the window ledge and headed for his brothers' office door.
"Where are you going…?" Seto asked coldly.
"To go play some video games…what else?" Mokuba smarted back, hoping to hint to his brother that he was both annoyed and now bored.
"Really…?" Seto suddenly said. Mokuba heard his brothers' computer shut off, "Cause I thought that maybe some Ice Cream would be nice right now," he said standing up and giving a soft look towards his brother.
A wildly huge smile grew on Mokuba's face as he jumped for joy, "YAY! Ice Cream!"
Seto gave him another faint, soft look and grabbed his keys off his desk. It had been a while since he, himself, had last driven somewhere. His younger sibling seemed slightly awed by this action.
"You're driving? But you never drive, Seto-san," Mokuba said, watching his brother with a confused looked as he walked assed him.
Seto paused to look down at his brother, "I know."
It was all he said before he started for the top of the stairs, soon followed by a now-excited Mokuba.
Back to the Kenosha Sisters…
Mekko looked gloomily out her right hand window. Why was it taking them so long to get they're (meaning Seto and Mokuba's) house…? They couldn't live that far away from the Kaiba Corp. building…could they?
Maybe he doesn't like to be working all the time like people say he does, she thought. She looked over towards her sister, who was resting in the bus seat beside her and listening to her MP3-player. Mekko knew that she wasn't asleep, just thinking or just relaxing her eyes. It had taken them almost all day to get to Domino on the plane, so she knew she was somewhat tired from it.
Her mind turned back to Seto Kaiba and all the rumors she had heard about him. From what people say he's a cold-hearted guy that lives in this big Mansion in the middle of town…but that's just what the newspaper says…I mean, it can't all be true right? After all: we live south of Nagasaki, so what would they really know about someone who lived on the other side of Japan? Mekko's thoughts sank deep into a pool of questions and wonder. Could they really be telling the truth about their childhood friend? Or was it all lies? Was he really cold-hearted? And did he really live in big a Mansion in the middle of town? Or no…?
Man my brain hurts, she complained as she bus soon came to a slowing stop.
"Last stop: Domino Café," said the bus driver. Mekko turned and shook her sister to tell her what the bus driver has just said.
After words, they grabbed their bags and exited the bus. They had had to slip on their rain coats before they had gotten off though, since it was still pouring outside, and now they and their bags where getting drenched, regardless if they where wearing a rain coat or not.
After a few minutes of just standing there, the two sisters both sighed at the same time and then started off down the sidewalk, in search of an apartment or a Inn that they could stay in until the rain stop…or better yet, in their case, for the whole time that they where there!
As if destiny had planned it, Asuka saw something out of the corner of her eye. She quickly turned to see what/who it was, but it was only a guy walking with his son. She started to look away when she realized something.
She man looked way too young to have a child, 1, and 2: the youngster wasn't that much shorter than him. Okay maybe he was a lot shorter than him, but still…
She saw the stranger stop and turn his head to meet eyes with her. Azure eyes met with Deep Hazel as the two of them looked at one another in a blank expression.
"Huh…?" Mekko stopped walking, some ways away from her sister down the sidewalk, and turned to look at her sister who was still in an eye-lock with the semi-familiar stranger. Mekko blinked.
The younger one standing beside the stranger looked up at the man and then over towards Asuka, then back at the man again.
It was as if they were speaking to eachother…
Nether one moved…
Nether one blinked…
Nether one spoke…
Nether one breathed…
He looks just like him…"Can I help you?" the stranger said coldly.
Asuka nearly fainted on the spot. What a perfect way to ruin a moment!
Seeing that she wasn't going to answer, the man along with the youngster moved on and went ahead into the Café.
Mekko jogged up to her sister and shook her shoulder. "Sooky-chan, are you alright? Who was that man? And…why do you look like you're gonna faint…?" Mekko asked all at once, slowing down the pace once she saw her sisters' embarrassed and faintful face.
"I'm fine, Kekko-chan," Asuka said in a wiry tone.
"Okay, what ever you say," Mekko said, and moved on.
Asuka eventually moved on about it as well and grabbed her bags, then tried to catch up with her younger sibling.
The two eventually found an Inn…except….
"20,000 yen a NIGHT!" Asuka shouted.
"We only have 17,000 yen, if we put our money together," Mekko said quietly.
"There is no way we can afford this! Look, can't you just let us stay for half price? We just need to stay here while it's raining," Asuka tried to bribe the care-taker but he wasn't buying it.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but those are the prices, if you can't afford to pay for it you'll have to go somewhere else," he explained.
"Ugh! This can't be happening to me!" Asuka groaned as she slammed her head into her arms on the front desk.
This is the cheapest hotel here! There's no way the people that live here can be this rich! Asuka complained in her mind.
"If you're looking for a cheaper place to stay, then why don't you go where the Inn's are cheaper," she suddenly heard the caretaker speak up.
Asuka's head shot up, "what?"
"Yes, there are some nice places for rent out on the edge of town, you can get a Taxi to take you there, or you can take the bus if you like," he spoke again.
This got both of their attentions. Suddenly Asuka got an idea.
"Say…you wouldn't happen to know where Seto Kaiba lives do you…"
"Uhh…"
"This must be it," Mekko said.
The two stared in awe at the huge gates in front of them. And the Mansion that was in sight was even bigger than they had imagined.
Things really have changed over the past 7 years, thought as she closed her mouth and look seriously at the security camera staring right back at them.
"WHAT ARE YOU KIDS UP TOO OUT THERE!" came a loud voice out of no where. It was the security guard form inside.
Asuka walked up the speak-phone and pressed the button so she could reply.
"We're here to see Mr. Kaiba, we have a hiring appointment to attend to with him," Asuka replied boldly.
"I don't remember Mr. Kaiba informing me about guests," said the guard suspiciously.
But Asuka never cracked the serious look she bore now, " well he informed us to be here now, so I suggest you kindly open the gates for us."
She could hear the guard groan and then a faint click in the background.
Suddenly there was a loud buzzing noise and the gates opened for the two girls. Asuka grabbed her bags and started in, pausing to look back at her sister with that all so serious look still occupying her face.
"Well…you coming Kekko-san?"
Mekko took a minute to soak in all that had just happened before she too picked up her things and followed her sister to the front of the house.
When they got to the front of house, two guards opened the large mahogany doors for them, and aloud them in.
The two walked in and then stopped. It was even larger inside then it was outside of the house. They both stared in awe as their bags where taken away by maids, along with their soaked coats and shoes.
"Now this is the life," Asuka said as she looked around the large entrance.
"You can say that again," Mekko said, not taking her eyes off of the giant chandelier above them.
"Excuse me…" came a humming voice.
Asuka turned to see the speaker and meet eyes with a tall young man with neatly made blonde hair and ravishing blue eyes.
"Are you Mr. Kaiba's new guests?" he asked with a heavenly voice.
Asuka's heart melted all at once and she blushed slightly when she found herself tongue-tied.
Mekko answered for her, "Yes! Do you know where S-I mean Mr. Kaiba it?"
"Well…I'm sorry but he's not here right now, he went off with the young master Kaiba to get Ice Cream," explained the guard…or was he a butler…?
Well isn't that just typical…? Asuka thought with a grumbling look.
"Well do you know when he'll be back?" asked Mekko once more.
"Sorry, but I can't really seem to answer that question," he said while turning to the side slightly, just enough to be able to see them still.
"If you wish, I can let you wait in the living room for him," he offered.
"Sure-,"
"Wait Kekko-san," Asuka suddenly said.
They both looked at her in surprise.
"Please…do you think we could…we could possible stay here till the rain stops, sir?" Asuka looked down so her bangs covered her eyes. The man looked at her with more shock now, surprised to hear someone who was about to get hired (or so he though still) ask to stay the night before they actually got a job.
"Well-," she cut him off…
"You see…me and my sister are…we are," she looked off to the side to try and think of a way the explain that they where childhood friends of him and Mokuba's with out him thinking that they just wanted some money…and they didn't.
"We're cold and tired from the long trip here and we just think that it might be best if we see Mr. Kaiba in the morning rather than in the night when it's cold and rainy," Mekko suddenly spoke up.
They both looked at the young Mekko.
"Alright…but just because of business…besides you're cute," he said, and winked at Asuka, who blushed immediately.
Mekko walked up gradually to her still blushing sister and poked her, giving her a triumphant look.
"Kekko-chan…" Asuka suddenly spoke, "you're a genius!"
"I know…"
"Should I show you to your rooms, ladies?" asked a maid politely.
"Heck yeah!" Mekko exclaimed, and she led them up the stairs.
When the two where snug in there separate room, Asuka took this moment to her advantage.
"Hey miss?" she asked the maid before she left.
"Yes," she replied sweetly.
"C-could you not mention this to Mr. Kaiba? You see…we're not exactly new employs," Asuka said, a little embarrassed at the fact that they were practically asking to get arrested and she was blowing their cover.
"Sure…besides…I could tell you guys weren't here for a job anyways," she said, giving Asuka a sly smile.
Asuka looked up at her with a shocked look, but before she could say anything, the maid shut her new bedroom door and left her in the room alone.
What a night…End! What happens next? Will he find out that night? Or will Seto Kaiba wake up to a big surprise? And what was with the maid…? Anyways, please R#R, and remember, no flames! G'night!
