Chapter 2 – Nothing…
On that same day, Mokuba Kaiba was walking around the halls of his big brother's school, Domino High. Mokuba's school had given them the half of the day off. So he decided to wait for his brother's classes to end. But since he got so bored of waiting outside the school, he went in to see if there was anyone he could talk to.
A few minutes of walking, he realized that he had no idea where he was. He couldn't ask for direction because there wasn't anyone in halls. Soon, he got tired of walking and stopped to take a rest. He leaned against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor. Across the wall where he was leaning, he saw in big huge letters: 'AUDITIONS TOMORROW'. He stood up and went closer to the announcement.
Who would join these kinds of things anyway? They're just a waste of time like big brother says. Then his eyes became wide with realization. Seto! That's it! He can join and show the world that he has other talents than just being a good businessman. Yeah! My brother can win this! I remember last night…
-flashback-
'Seto! Seto! Where are you! Please don't leave me big brother! SETO!'
Mokuba bolted up from his bed sweating. He was looking around to check his environments. He was still in his room. It was just a bad dream. But he couldn't help but feel scared. And he couldn't be alone. He checked the clock by his bed and it read '1:00am'. He stood up and left his room.
Mokuba opened the door to his big brother's office, knowing that he would still be awake at this time. He poked his head in the room and saw his big brother typing away in his laptop. He went in and shut the door behind him quietly.
When Kaiba felt a presence in the room he looked up from his laptop to see his younger brother there. Still clad in his pajamas and looking down at his feet.
"What is it Mokuba?" he asked sternly but hi seyes never leaving his younger sibling's form.
Mokuba looked up to see his brother looking at him but looked back down to his feet again.
"I-I had a bad dream…" he stuttered a bit. He couldn't see that his brother's eyes soften a bit.
Kaiba stood up from his leather chair and walked over to his troubled brother. He knelt down so he could be the same eye level as Mokuba. He placed both his hands on each of Mokuba's shoulders. Mokuba looked up to meet his brother's concerned eyes.
"Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?" he asked.
Mokuba just nodded feeling his mood lighten. Kaiba stood up and led his brother out his office and into his room again. When they reached Mokuba's room, Mokuba hopped back into the bed and lay down. Kaiba tucked him in and sat on the side of his bed. Waiting for his brother to fall asleep.
"Seto?"
"Yes Mokuba?"
"Could you…sing for me? Like you used to when we were younger?" Mokuba asked with eyes so full of hope. Kaiba hesitated for a while but when he saw his brother's eyes he instantly gave in.
"Sure kiddo" and with that, he began to sing.
The strands in your
eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my
breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never
revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress
it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang
from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from
above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love
suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan
of your life
Half way to the song, Mokuba's eyes started to droop. His brother's voice was just so soothing and comforting. He really didn't understand why people would hate him so much.
Rain
falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my
survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not
dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the
trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your
lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from
above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love
suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan
of your life
I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back
from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you
said
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll
Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life
After Kaiba finished the song, he saw that his brother was sound asleep. He stoop up from his bed and made his way out the room. He opened the door but before he closed it, he said, "Goodnight Mokuba" then finally closed the door.
-end flashback-
Mokuba smiled. Then got a piece of paper and wrote down his brothers name and stuffed it in the box. Mokuba's smile even grew wider.
"Mokuba?" he turned to see his brother looking at him with one eyebrow raised.
"Hi big brother!" he said while he gave him a hug.
"What are you doing here Mokuba?"
"I came to pick you up! We were given half the day off today." He said while he grinned.
"Ok. Come on, let's go. And what were you doing?" he asked while they started to walk to the exit of the school.
"Nothing…."
