Subdued Chapter Three: Forget it
A pair of teens grinned at each other as they took a step towards the monster. The Roller Coaster.
"This is going to be fun." The teen with strange tri colored hair told his companion who too, eyed the machine in sheer interest.
"Yeah…" was the only thing Mokuba could reply.
Five minutes later…
"AHHH!"
YSYSYSYS
After finishing a hearty laugh, Seto took a couple more breaths before deciding to continue his driving even with the confused Yami still looking at him.
"Yami," (a/n: surely he didn't quit it) "staring too obviously like that is a very rude gesture. Did your grandpa leave that out of your manners list?"
The latter shook his head in disapproval. "Really," answered Yami as he turned to face the front once again, flushed from the embarrassment he'd been through," You should stop teasing me."
Seto just smirked his answer to his former rival and finally, there was a prolonged silence. He got what he wanted anyways. They passed several houses and establishments on their way while Kaiba took the job of explaining some of the purposes of the modern world advances to the still bewildered Yami.
It took them a couple of minutes more to reach the front gates of the Kaiba mansion. It was also quite a bit long ride going to the front door through the main road inside the property but at least, they made it through.
The tall brunette abruptly stopped the car and gracefully stepped out of the limousine heading towards the door when he realized that no footsteps were following him. "Oh, right." he muttered in a tad bit amused manner. He briskly went back to his car to open the door for Yami before repeating his former action and going back towards the entrance of the house.
Yami's POV
I almost thought that I would be stuck in the car forever but then, I saw Kaiba going back for me and I had to sigh in relief. He started to walk away but I only gaped at what I saw in front of me and I started to stutter.
"Kaiba,…this is, your house?" I already knew the answer but I've got nothing to lose if I was proved wrong and I suddenly knew that this was their ancestral mansion or something like that.
"Yeah, my house and if you don't hurry, I'm not having second thoughts of leaving you here." He answered as he briefly glanced at me.
Knowing better than to be left here in the middle of a large strange property, I followed immediately.
So I am right.
YSYSYSYS
Right behind them, the great front doors closed with a light thud. Then, silence…A clap broke it though and instantly, all the servants came scurrying into view as they lined to greet the master of the mansion. When all was complete, the highest ranking maid started to speak.
"Good morning Mr. Kaiba and guest, Sir Yami. Breakfast is at the table!" she squeaked in a slightly higher pitch then her normal.
Without a word, Kaiba waved his hand and everyone went back to their assigned duties. Yami was now feeling a bit queasy and out of place, being immersed to all this without any warning at all. Well, maybe Kaiba was almost enough of a precaution but still…
"You haven't eaten yet?" Yami asked the random question at his companion who continued walking.
Kaiba tilted his head his head a bit towards the back to glance at the other man, a bit startled at the sudden inquisition "Hn. Why, have you?"
"Well…" He avoided eye contact.
"Then let's go faster." He grabbed Yami's wrist and began to practically drag him. Yami's eyes widened for the nth time that day.
"What are you doing! Seto!"
"So, you finally decided to agree with me." He smiled a bit mockingly at him.
"Yeah, yeah, now let go of me and let me walk! And you're strides are too big!" he demanded while trying hard to follow just beside Kaiba, since he had no other choice with his right wrist held tight thus limiting his actions.
"Why would I? With such short legs you have, we'll probably arrive there after a long period of time. "Retorted Seto before another interesting idea came in mind. "Or, do you want me to carry you?"
"Hey!" He completely failed to hide the growing hue of red on his face at the unexpected suggestion, "Why are you doing all this when just months ago, you would have preferred to keep quiet and nonchalant!"
Seto sneered at him at this./Because I haven't seen you before, idiot. Or at least haven't seen you like this/ "That's the past Yami. And besides, you started the conversation"
"The past? That's all? Ra, who would believe." he rolled his eyes to emphasize his point. "There's got to be a heavenly reason."
"Shut up now, Yami." Then, he added in his mind,/ As much as I love hearing your voice, you need to shut up now. /""I will not tolerate more noise.", /'Cause I don't think I would be able to answer your next questions, or rather, you would not believe on what I'm going to say if ever. Not now, to say the least./ He grinned at his thoughts secretly.
Yami shut his mouth though he still allowed himself to at least give an annoyed glance to his ex-rival
Yami's POV
"Shut up now, Yami. I will not tolerate more noise." I think he reached his very short limit. I then chose to shut my mouth up before I irritate him much more. It may not be obvious especially if I'm with this bastard but I'm actually a very caring person. I hate it when I manage to annoy someone I don't really hate.
Okay, I admit it. I don't actually hate him that much and I still consider him to be my friend. That is, if he'd let me which is most unlikely to happen. But with his current change of actions now, the .01 possibility might increase a bit. It's really up to him.
I was led in front of another large entrance inside his house which opened when Seto pushed a button at the side of it revealing a rather surprising sight. Though I should've been used to it by now, oh well, there it was. A great long table decorated very elaborately that could probably hold around forty people.
END OF POV
Kaiba finally let go of Yami and sat comfortably at the chair at the other end as he motioned for the tri colored teen to sit at his right hand seat(a/n: wish you just get the point --;;;). When both of them were finally situated at their favored positions, another bunch of maids made their way carrying food filled trays and platters. Placing its contents on the table, they left leaving only one blonde servant to stay to satisfy further needs of their masters.
"Kaiba—" Yami started but failed with the other butting in.
"Seto"
"But-!" he protested.
The brunette faced the other with a serious face on and stated firmly, "Seto"
"Fine! Seto, do you really think that—" this time, it was not the brunette who had managed to get Yami's attention but the sound of giggling made its way to their ears. Yami placed his gaze at his assumed cause of distraction which unfortunately landed on the miserably open hiding place of the three now petrified maids.
A collected gasps…
"Master Kai--!" cried one at the intense gaze of Kaiba directed at her.
A nerve had twitched and the booming voice of the CEO was heard in the entire dining place "Get out! Gather your things and leave!"
Without further protestation. They then scampered away crying.
"Seto! You needn't do that!" shouted Yami, also standing up like the enraged Seto.
"You won't tell me what I need or need not do in my house, Yami." Replied him in a warning and cold voice. "Now what did you want to ask me earlier?"
"Never mind!" Yami spatted furiously as he sat at his chair once again and retaining his past position, crossed-legged and laid back. Seto soon did the same.
"No, speak of it."
The latter did not answer nor did he touch his food. He just sat there looking more vexed than ever. Before anything else happened, he decided to stand up and started leaving without a word.
"You're not going," stated Kaiba as if it settled everything.
Yami replied,"I am. And I'm going now."
"Why?" a hint of challenge in the Seto's voice.
"Kaiba!" Kaiba nearly flinched at the use of his last name." How could you believe that I'll stay here after you humiliating me at every opportunity you got! Plus, and more importantly, I managed to make you fire three people with only my first thirty minutes here! What do you think will they do just to live! I hate all of this and I'll leave." He coldly told Kaiba with a matching fiery glare. With his crimson orbs filled burning with anger, he turned around cutting the show Seto had so much enjoyed.
The taller man smirked. "It was not your fault that I fired them." This made Yami stop in his tracks. "Don't think too highly of yourself for me to do such a thing like firing my hand picked servants. /It's your fault./
Deciding that he had Yami's attention now, Seto continued, "I did that because they've been disturbing us for quite a while now which you have failed to notice. It was against the rule." /They haven't until now.Hn./. "And besides…"
"Besides what?" at last, he turned his head slightly to give a brief glance at his companion. Well, at least he planned it that way. The result was telling otherwise as he was now gazing at the other in utter disbelief.
"Seto!" he gasped in surprise.
There was a playful glint in his eyes as he waved the tiny, shiny, object in front of Yami.
"So, forget it. You can't leave."
Yami would never have thought of it before but just with that thing in the other's hand, his fate was changed.
/Aibou/ he mentally shouted.
