Chapter 3
The sun rose on the smoldering remains of the Kaiba mansion. The family slept nearby; glad it was summer and still warm. Otherwise they would have had to sleep near the house which was now also a funeral pyre. Flames had leapt over the body, as if eager to consume poor Kosuke.
But the fire had died, and now it was scavenger time. Drea and Arag carefully avoided the spot where Kousuke's body had lain as they picked through the rubble. They found Arag's violin miraculously unharmed, still in its hard case. The harp and the piano had been reduced to charred strings and keys. Drea mourned the loss of the beautiful harp quietly while they searched.
They found various items; their father's fireproof briefcase, charred pictures, Drea's diary, old trunks from the closet under the stairs, and Mark's toothbrush. Strangely, Aragorn's closet was almost untouched, as if something wanted it to remain. And remain it did, standing up from the rubble like a tombstone. Drea remembered a promise she had made to her brother, to never look in his closet, and hung back.
Arag wished she had stayed with him as he drew near to the closet. It's just a closet, he thought. Just a closet. Nevertheless, he closed his eyes as he opened it. When nothing fell on him or jump out, he opened his eyes. He sighed, relieved. See? Just a closet. But then he noticed the note on the door:
"Do you know where your father is?"
Aragorn freaked. His dad was at a meeting, in Tokyo. He snatched a backpack from his closet, shoved supplies in it, and ran to his family.
"Mum! We have to call Dad!"
"We'll have to go into Domino, since our phone is burned… why do we need to call Seto?" their mother said.
Aragorn handed her the note. She read it quickly, silently mouthing the words "your father".
"Get everything you can carry. We're going to Domino."
The walk to Domino took nearly half an hour, and would have taken longer, had Aldrea not given Mark a piggyback ride after five minutes. Arag had the kittens and Robertson in his backpack (in separate compartments, of course.) The other cats trailed behind them.
They arrived at the first house, asking to use the phone.
"What, the Kaiba's lose their phones? All the computers too? Aw, too bad."
Slam.
After the fifty third time this happened, Arag wished his dad wasn't so arrogant to the people.
Finally, only one house remained. The Blade Children's. Kousuke's.
Knock, knock.
No answer.
"Eyes? You home?" Arag called.
He slowly opened the door.
"Hello? Anybody home?"
They heard soft piano music from the back room.
"Eyes, is that you?"
"Oh, Aragorn, I didn't hear you com in." answered a smooth British voice.
"There you are! We wondered if you just left your house unlocked all the time." Aldrea said.
Aragorn glared at her miserable attempt at a joke, then said, "Can we use your phone? Ours burned in the fire."
"I know. You burned Kosuke as well?" Eyes' bright blue eyes stared into his.
"Uh, yeah, how do you know?"
"You think we do not know what has happened to each other?" The white haired man answered.
"Uh, yeah, sure. Can we use the phone? It's kind of urgent." Arag stressed.
"Of course." Eyes tossed him a cell phone.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"You've reached my office. If you don't know who I am, you wouldn't have called me. If you are a fangirl, sorry, I'm married. My son, however… BEEP."
Arag wondered what his dad would have added had it not beeped. "Hi Dad, it's Arag. Nice message, NOT. Anyway, we need to talk to you soon. Call us back as soon as you get this message. Uh, call this number, we're at the Blachi's house. Soon. Bye."
Arag hung up, only to have the phone ring in his hand. Eyes motioned for him to answer.
"Moshi moshi."
"If you want to see your father alive again, come to his office in Tokyo by 4:00 today. CLICK."
Arag stared at the phone. He closed it with a snap.
"Mum, we need to get to Dad's office. The Tokyo one."
"Arag, we don't have a car."
"But we have to get there by 4:00." Arag said, urgency in his voice.
"What happens if we don't get there by 4:00?" Aldrea asked, dreading the answer.
"They kill Dad."
BWAHAHAHA! Take that! CLIFFHANGER! Wait… no! Don't eat my soul with a dull spoon, Kala! I'll post more! I swear!
