Shezka: Okay, I've kept my oath. Wanna know who forced me to take it? Read my other story Fires of Old Crisscross. Anyway, on with the show!
Kaiba was overwhelmed by emotion. It had been ten years since the brothers had seen each other. Yuki whatched the reunion with a quiet gaze. Finally, they stopped hugging each other and managed to regain their composure. Soon, the trio was talking in calm voices telling each other what had happened with them. Hatori was surprised Kaiba was actually eager to turn into his Zodiac animal soon. What was even more surprising was that none of them had ever actaually seen him turn into it.
"Well, I know it's the year of the dragon, but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna turn into a seahorse." Kaiba stated as they came into view of the summer home. Hatori simply nodded as they walked in just as the last rays of the sun left the sky.
"Have a nice walk?" Shuigure asked from the couch. Tohru was in the kitchen cooking dinner for them. Kyo was seemed to be helping her.
"Yes, we...discussed buisness." Yuki answered while Kaiba picked up his backpack.
"You don't have to leave so soon. Stay for dinner, there's plenty to go around." Shigure invited him as he prepared to leave.
"I can't, Mokuba is home alone. Besides, I've got think some things over." Kaiba said going out the door.
As he walked things swam around in his mind like confused fish. What would Mokuba think? He had never told his younger brother about Hatori. It just hadn't seemed right at the time. Now that Hatori found out he had another younger brother, what would Akito think? If it came to it Kaiba would defy him no matter what he did. He was rich, powerful, an excellent fighter, and above all a genius. No one would stand in his way. He never did follow orders of other people, no matter what their rank.
Unless Akito shot him in the head with a gun, Kaiba was pratically invincible. He wouldn't stand a chance against the CEO. Deciding to walk home, he made his way down the street weaving in an out of the crowd. Someone cursed after they had tripped then kept on walking. Kaiba, out of boredom, tried to see who it was. He instantly regonized the grayish white hair and purple eyes, it was Marik Ishtar. The Egyptian continued on cursing as we roughly shoved people out of his way. Kaiba just shrugged to himself then kept on going. He hadn't gone more then three steps when he ran into a large man standing in front of him. He looked up and saw the familiar tattooed face, dark tanned skin, and yellow eyes. It was Odion.
"I thought you went back to Egypt." Kaiba said bitterly remebering everything from the Battle City Finals. Odion just observed him quietly then spoke.
"We did, but Marik and I decided to come back. Ishizu now lives in Egypt while we reside here within Domino." Odion answered bluntly brushing past him without another word.
"Marik, our apartment is the other way." Odion called walking through the sea of people. He was much taller then everyone on the sidewalk so parted the crowd easily. Marik quickly came back trailing behind him embarrassed at his mistake. Kaiba fell in step behind the two brothers, finding it easier to just follow behind them instead of making his own way through the crowd. Marik took notice of him finally when they had stopped in front of their apartment complex, which was right up the street from Kaiba's mansion.
"Where did you come from?" Marik asked shocked as Odion noticed him as well with a shocked look on his face.
"I was going to walk home, but it was easier to take the Ishtar Express through the crowd." Kaiba answered smugly with a smirk. Odion actually smiled good naturedly at the joke, Marik sighed then turned away from him.
"Well, it's right up the street ain't it? So go home Draco." Marik snapped pounding up the stairs. The two guys watched him go and finally open his apartment door then slam it shut.
"What's his problem?" Kaiba asked as Odion turned his gaze back towards him.
"Nothing, he's just had a rough day. He doesn't like running around all over town helping me find a job." Odion answered calmly.
"Well, it seems he isn't going to calm down for a bit. I supposed you could come over to my place and have dinner with me and Mokuba." Kaiba invited him coldly turning away and beginning to walk. Meeting Yuki again had awoken his slightly caring side. Kaiba still held a bit of a grudge against Marik, but it really didn't stretch out to the man. Besides, Mokuba was always on his case about helping people out.
"Thank you, I would appreciate that." Odion thanked him as they entered through the gate.
The guards studied Odion curiously through their sunglasses. Could this man be some type of new bodyguard? They both swept walked up the mansion and entered. Mokuba was sitting on the huge steps reading a book out of boredom. He jumped up and smiled broadly when he saw his older brother.
"Hey Seto, I thought you would never come home." Mokuba said eagerly.
