Sorry that it's taken this long for chapter three, I've been busy lately.
On with the fic!
Never Coming Home
Chapter Three
It has been two weeks since Seto went into the hospital after the crash, and he still doesn't remember anything.
A while ago, he went into surgery for a kidney transplant. When he woke up he freaked out and tried to escape because he noticed the large scar on his side from the surgery. It had opened up by accident when he was asleep so when he saw the blood he freaked.
He still acts like a child without his memories; it's kinda nice though because Mokuba wants to see this as another chance to his brother to have some form of childhood. But that's not Seto; he's a man who doesn't have time to play.
I don't know what to do… I don't mind Seto like this but… he's not MY Seto, the one that saved me so many times, the one who took me into his home, the one that loves me no matter what. This Seto only sees me as a friend, nothing more.
He can barely remember anything, sure he has a huge vocabulary and is starting to remember certain everyday items, but names, times, and locations are things that he can't recall. Its painful to see him so lost… reminds me of how I was last year when I lost my will to live.
"Yami, is something wrong?"
I blinked and looked at blue-eyes that blinked as well. Today, Seto wanted to explore a bit of the hospital, getting tired of seeing his boring hospital room everyday. We found a cafeteria and though Seto didn't feel like eating anything that even came from this building, I had him get some coffee, since he hadn't had any in two weeks. He was now very content on drinking it dark and he was already on his fifth cup, which was nothing unusual.
"Huh? Oh, I was just thinking." I smiled at him.
He only nodded, not smiling much as he did a little while ago, he was being quiet, but the silence was broken by a loud groan of frustration. To the table at the left of us was a man who seemed to be a patient here too. In front of him was a laptop that he was glaring at deeply.
"Excuse me sir, is something the matter?" Seto asked him and he looked over at us.
"Oh, it's this stupid computer program. Even though I'm in the hospital I have to finish up a report I was working on so I don't get fired. The file is locked and it won't even respond to the correct password."
A strange look came over Seto as he stood up and walked over, staring at the screen for an moment before typing at a very fast speed, surprising both me and the man. Concentration was seen clearly on Seto's face as he typed and then he stopped and smirked.
"You needed to the put the code into the c-file area; you were in the right folder but not the right area. Kaiba Corp.'s files are specific in their code areas and where they keep them… how do I know that…?"
"Sir… thank you so much! Mr. Kaiba wanted me to have those files in before next week; I needed to edit some graphs and thank you so much for helping me! Tell me, do you work for Kaiba Corp as well?"
"Of course, I'm the president." Seto smirked and the man gasped. The brunet then turned to me. "Let's go Yami, I'm done here."
As we walked out, I looked at him. "Seto, how did you do that?! You haven't seen a computer is weeks, let alone a laptop!"
"I don't know, something just clicked in my head and I remembered what the files were and a bunch of things for the computer programs for Kaiba Corp… Yami that's it!" He turned at me with a smile on his face.
"What's what?" I asked.
"The way for me to get my memories back! They need to be triggered by a familiar feeling, sound, sight, or action! This is normal in amnesia cases like mine, I remembered a lot about computers and Kaiba Corp from that laptop, seeing it helped me to remember work. We need to try other things out to see what will happen."
I'm not sure on that, but we can try it…
I feel like I've accomplished something amazing today, and that feeling is awesome. It fantastic to feel like this, to seem like I'm better then others! Which I am, I mean, come on I'm Seto fuckin' Kaiba for God's sake.
I actually remember a little bit of my life! I remember my company, how it's the top gaming company on earth and I'm one of the top three richest men on earth, though Mr. Gates will soon lose his position when I get through with him.
I also remember certain things that I'm use to, like how to make coffee and how to rewire household items, which I did to the microwave. Two days ago, Yami and Mokuba took be home from the hospital since I 'asked' to be released, though you would probably say it like Yami and say that I demanded to fire the staff if they didn't let me go.
When I arrived home, everything was starting to come together. When I was in the hospital, I wasn't use to see those items inside before hand, but being in a familiar location seemed to awake lost memories. I even remember Mokuba, the first and only person I can really remember, when he gave me my locket.
But some things were off in the house, I don't know why but I didn't want to be in my own room when Yami was around, I even suggested just sleeping in a guest room because I was being… unsure for some reason. Yami was now sleeping in a guest room since he said he would let me have my own bed, which was odd. Why was he living with me anyway?
He doesn't tell me everything and I think he is hiding some stuff to keep me away, but it might also have to do with the large missing portions of my memories, like the ones with Mokuba, it seems like someone else is also in some of them but at the same time it seems that they are not.
Right now, sitting in the kitchen with a notepad and pen, I'm trying to remember things. I can remember words that float around in my head, words that were normal in my vocabulary but I only use when needed. So far the list says mutt, dragon, pharaoh, spell, trap, and duel. They seem to be connected but the mutt once seems more like some kinda insult to me.
I guess it might be used on that weird blond Jounouchi… "Yami!" I called, a moment later he walked in.
"Yeah Seto?" He walked over and sat down in front of me.
"I wrote down some words that have been bothering me, tell me, what do they mean?"
"Well you always call Jou a mutt; do you remember anything about that?"
I thought for a moment and smirked. "Oh yes! I remember calling him that! About a month ago, I learned his phone number from Mokuba and sent him a text that said something about mutts can't even press the key pad let alone afford a phone."
"Seto that was really mean."
"I know, but he was asking for it." I chuckled. "That stupid mutt deserves the name, he whines like a dog when he loses in a duel." I blinked, duel? That was one of the words on the list.
Duel… duel… duel monsters, that's the card game that made me famous. I love the game! I remember it now! But… just like all my memories, there is something missing and these memories of playing the card game… there was something painful about them, something that makes me mad yet upset.
I shake my head. "Yami, I'm going to my office, if you anything just knock alright?" He looked at me before nodded and turning away.
Its weird, these memories would be so vivid and I know what is going on in them, but some of them, they are blurred and I can't tell what's going on. But there is one, one that makes me feel self-shame and hatred at someone, the person standing before me before I black out.
And why can't I remember Yami, he seems close to me, knowing so much about me but I don't know him, its like something in my mind is blocking him out, what if he did something that I don't want to remember about him…
TBC
I know this is short, but next chapter is when I want the plot to kick in. This is just where Kaiba starts gaining his memories. I found it funny that Jou is what makes him remember a children's card game.
Next chapter: Kaiba remembers his life, but a large chunk is missing. And Yami doesn't know how to help him.
Please review and forgive me for how crappy this chapter is!
