Next chapter! Sorry it took so long, I didn't forget about them… (How could I?)
I've just had a lot of coursework to do lately -.-
After this chapter is where thingsshould start to get interesting for old Seto.. D
Chapter 2: Ducks.
"A DATING WEBSITE?" Seto screamed, his gruff voice breaking slightly. Then directed his piercing gaze away from the laptop screen, and onto his little brother. "Are you serious?" He questioned venomously.
Mokuba stared at his hands helplessly, refusing to meet Seto's gaze. "I knew you'd be angry…" he said, obviously playing the 'sympathy card'. Seto squeezed the bridge of his nose in frustrated manner.
"Just… Why?" He sighed plainly.
"Like I said…" He replied. "You're getting older and-"
"Older?" Seto butted in. "Mokuba please, I'm 19." Then folded his well built arms arrogantly.
"Yeah! And before you know it, you'll be 40 with no girlfriend, no wife, nothing. Just a lot of money." His little brother argued, balling his small fists.
"I'm failing to see the issue with this equation." The young CEO replied smoothly. Mokuba stared at his brother wide-eyed.
"You've got to be kidding me…" His small face dropped. 'This was going to be harder than he thought... Seto WANTED to die alone? He had to do something… Something bigger…'
"Okay. Fine." Mokuba grumbled leaving the room, feeling his elder brother's gaze on his back. He needed some time to think.
Ducks. Sometimes it felt like ducks were the only friends Mokuba Kaiba had in this world. 'Lucky damn ducks. Jus' swim around all day and eat bread without a care in the world. No winey big brothers refusing to go on a date.' Mokuba thought, tossing yet another large chunk of bread to his friends in the large dingy pond. Resting his midnight head on his risen knees, he closed his sleepy eyes.
"DOWN IN FRONT KID!" An ominous voice called from across the public park. Suddenly Mokuba felt a harsh, dull thud strike the bad of his wild head. He face planted the dirt floor which was once beneath him.
"Ughhnn…" The young Kaiba groaned, attempting to get on his feet. 'What the hell was that?' The answer was a few feet in front of him. 'Damn football!' he mentally cursed. 'If it was alive I'd kill it.'
A pair of large, male hands came to greet the ball. He didn't even look up and see who they belonged to.
"Erm, sorry dude…" The teenager above him apologized almost sarcastically. He heard the cackling and mocking from his friends behind him. He rubbed his dirty face with his arm.
"Excuse me, are you okay…?" A concerned feminine voice chimed above him.
"Huh?" His gaze flied upward to greet the owner of the voice. His blurred vision met with a pair of sapphire eyes, with just as much vibrancy and intensity as Seto's. Though he'd have to admit, these eyes were not nearly as icy. In fact these eyes were warm and kind, if anything. Nobody had looked at him so softly since his dad died. He took the pale, slender hand offered to him and was pulled up.
He could see her a lot clearer now. Long silver hair flowing down her body, all the way to her lower waist. She was wearing a simple blouse and jeans covering her pale skin. Maybe a similar age to Seto?
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The young woman started. "My name is Kisara Mazaki." She said grinning fondly at the boy. There was something about her, something that made him feel secure.
"That's a nice name." Mokuba commented sweetly. "My names Mokuba – Kaiba…" The name stuck in his mouth like toffee every time. That wasn't even his and Seto's real surname, why did his big brother insist on keeping it?
"Well it's nice to meet you Mokuba." Kisara giggled musically. "What were you doing out here by yourself anyway?" She asked, sounding generally interested.
"Um, you know, just like to come the park every now and again to think about stuff…" He replied, scratching the back of his neck casually.
"Fair enough, I agree its nice to get out and get some fresh air when you have a lot to think about. So what's troubling you kid?"
"Oh its nothing. Just family stuff. Big brother stuff to be exact." Mokuba stated, immediately his upbeat tone turned into a depressed mumble.
"I'm sure everything will work out." She comforted him, deciding not to push him to go into further detail. After all, they had only just met. "I never had a big brother, but I always wanted one."
The short boy grunted disapprovingly. "I don't know why, I mean yeah, sometimes I feel like he's my best friend… and I can talk to him about anything. But other times, he's just a jerk."
Kisara bought a thumb and finger to her lip in thought. "Well, I tell you what Mokuba… I'm new in town, so how about you show me where the nearest ice cream stand is? Popsicles are on me." She winked childishly.
The raven haired boy beamed with anticipation. "Sure!" he exclaimed. He felt better already.
Mokuba devoured the last remains of his Popsicle, and glanced up at the city clock. They'd been out for hours. "It's getting late… I should probably get home before Seto goes all parent patrol on my ass."
The silver haired girl paused from licking her crimson Popsicle. "Seto?" She inquired.
"Yeah, the big brother I was talking about…"
Before Mokuba could say anymore, his cell phone vibrated repeatedly in his jeans pocket, catching him off-guard. 'It could only be one person. Seto… Knowing him- he's watching me. I can feel him. Maybe I'm just freaking out...'
He gulped and picked up the phone nervously. Maybe, just maybe, he should have told his big brother where he'd gone.
"H-Hello?"
"Ahh, Mokuba! Nice of you to pick up the phone." Seto's voice rang, laced in sarcasm. "What time do you call this?"
'Time for you to get a girlfriend.' Mokuba thought smugly. "Sorry big bro, I didn't realize how late it was…"
"Whatever. Just get home some time this year please." He replied irritably. "What the hell have you been doing for this long anyway? Been with the girlfriend?" The CEO taunted, his tone changing considerably.
Mokuba thought for a second. "Oh no, I just met up with a friend." He chirped a little too happily. "Mind if they stay over sometime?"
Kisara flinched, and narrowed her agate blue orbs. 'What is he scheming?' She knew there was something, it was written all over his cheeky face. 'What is he doing? He only just met me...'
Seto hesitated "…I don't see why not; just inform me when this is."
"Awesome! Thanks bro." He smiled. "And I'll be home soon, okay?"
"Okay." Seto sighed boredly. "Bye."
"Laters!" Mokuba smiled, ending the call. 'It's all coming together! I can't believe the answer came to me. He won't be able to resist!'
Kisara could do nothing but stare at the boy in front of her, seemingly of in his own world. A one of rainbows and unicorns by the looks of his shining, awe struck magenta eyes. She swiped a hand in front of his face to break his dreamy gaze. "EARTH. TO. MOKUBA."
The excited boy shook his crazy head and jumped back into reality… literally.
"I gotta now, I've got a cranky CEO to annoy. I'll see you around Kisara!" And with that, the feral boy ran off and disappearing further into the Tokyo crowd.
"Uh wait, don't you at least want me to walk you home?" She yelled, but it was too late. Mokuba was probably way out of ear range now. She back tracked on what the youngster had said before he took off.
"…Cranky CEO…?" She muttered under her breath to no one but herself.
Stay with me people, new chapter around Monday! ;D
