YUGIOH

Hopeless Collisions

Chapter 5.

The limo first took them to Pegasus's hotel room, where he got his things. He then got back into the limo, and they drove the Kaiba's house, where they got out and headed to his front door. Pegasus looked over the mansion, saying, "What a beautifully cheerful-looking house. How can you 'not' want to be here? I can just imagine the parties you can have at this place. Given, it's not as unique as my castle, but most rich people like the more modernized look....less stairs, you know."

Kaiba tried to ignore him, wondering what could have possibly gotten into his mind to invite one of his worst enemies into his house? 'I've really stooped to new levels.' He thought, using a print scan to electronically unlock the doors.

They entered Kaiba's home. The front foyer was dimly lit….there wasn't a soul in sight. But, since it was 3am, that was expected.

Yet, the very presence of this home felt like a tomb to Kaiba. It was too quiet....there was no Mokuba. Looking over his house, Kaiba once again felt the flood of pain begin to overwhelm him, and he immediately began to consider looking for the mini-bar to escape into.

He was distracted by Pegasus, who moved forward, saying, "So, where are your guest rooms, Kaiba-boy? Any of them not far from your own room? Not to insult you, but to be frank...I don't entirely trust you. Of course, I'm not saying I think you'd do something rash, like try to kill someone in the middle of the night or anything. I was thinking more on the aspect of you trying to drown yourself in another bottle or two."

"I don't need to listen to this!" Kaiba snapped, as he turned and headed up the main staircase. "What I do with my life is my business, not yours. Don't worry....I'll make sure to be sober enough to talk to that bitch Ishizu by 11. Now if you want a room, you better step it up....I'm not going to wait all night for you."

Kaiba directed Pegasus to a room he felt best suited the psycho....he gave him his stepfather's old room, just out of spite. Kaiba then went to his own room, to atleast shower and get into his pajamas, with plans to find the mini-bar when he was done. He had no idea how he would sleep tonight without it.

Pegasus on the other hand, put his suitcase down, and immediately snuck out of his room to look around the house. The creator of Duel Monsters had gone through his own bout of depression at one time, and knew exactly what Kaiba was going through. He knew full-well that Kaiba would look for the liquor, thinking, 'The poor kid didn't even deny it, when I accused him of it'.

He quickly found the roller mini-bar, and rolled it to the other end of the living room, where the lovely glass doors to the second-story outside porch was. Without a second thought, he opened the glass doors, tossed the whole thing over the railing, and let it go crashing to the ground with a loud smash.

Kaiba quickly left his room, and headed in that direction to see what the noise was. He immediately found the suspect, and what he did. Pegasus turned, saying, "I know you're not happy with me. But, don't worry....I'll be more than willing to pay you for any damages. Mini-bars are easy to replace, really."

Horrified, Kaiba practically ran to the railing, looking down. He then turned, and roared, "What the hell did you do that for??"

"You're not going to drown yourself in sorrows anymore, Kaiba. Even if it kills you, I'm going to find and save the fighter I knew before this tragedy. Believe me, this was for your own good...." Pegasus said, then backed away, seeing the death glare in Kaiba's eyes.

Kaiba grabbed him roughly by the collar again, and slammed him into the wall, hissing angrily, "Oh, really? So then, who's going to save 'you'??"

Pegasus saw the hand rear back forming a fist, as he cried in horror, "Not the face!!" Closing his eyes, and turning away, fearful he was about to get thoroughly beaten.

Kaiba swung....but at the last second, he purposely avoided Pegasus' face, hitting the wall instead. Pegasus opened his one good eye, then glanced over at Kaiba who was still giving him a death glare. "What the hell do you care what I look like?! You're not here for me, you're here for your wife! So, why do you give a damn what I do to myself??"

"Because I've been there, and I've done it....and I almost couldn't pull myself out, twice now. I'm trying to help you, where I couldn't help myself....is that such a bad thing?" He asked.

"I didn't ask for your help!" Kaiba said.

Pegasus laughed at that, saying, "If anyone waited around for you to ask for help, you'd be dead first. Ask for help, really Kaiba....who are you trying to fool?"

"Don't act like you know me." Kaiba said, finally letting him go. "Now go to bed, and stop trying to trash my house...."

Narr: Totally unrelated to my story....I had to find and watch part of an episode from Yugioh GX. Seto Kaiba was supposed to be in episode 76 for a whole minute or two....and being a Kaiba fanatic, I just couldn't resist. But, since I missed that episode on TV (because that I can't stand GX), I found it on YouTube. Yet, when I finally saw it, I was shocked by my findings! In this episode....the weird bad guy with bolts in his head (in the uncut, he's called Saiyou or something) accused Kaiba that he, quote: "hasn't aged in years". Okay, hold on....is GX trying to claim that Kaiba is now immortal? When did THIS happen??!?? So, did the whole Yugioh Duel Monsters thing magically do something to Kaiba to make him no longer age, or is it because of his ancient past? If either are true, then I certainly hope that Mokuba (for his own sake) isn't also stuck as a kid forever. I don't know about you guys, but if I was stuck as a kid forever....that would suck! Poor Mokuba would never get laid! (heh heh....) And how would Kaiba ever explain why he never gets old and dies? Can you say "Highlander"?.

Special note: I still have no spell check. Hopefully, I will get that taken care of this weekend.
