Snatcher

A Kaiba brother's story, typical me, hehehe. Had this story on my mind for quite a long time and decided to finally write it up.

What starts as a virus, or so they thought, turns into something much more. Mokuba starts seeing changes in Seto, is he just imagining it or is something wrong really happening? Kaiba brother's fic.


Seto yawned a little to himself as he sat himself up in his bed, for once he felt like he was actually relaxed and had a good night's sleep, something that don't happen too often. He turned his head a little and looked towards his bedside cabinet, his eyes instantly widened when they struck on his clock.

"Why didn't he wake me?" Seto growled to himself. Him would be Rowland, the main leader of all of his staff and had been working for his family for as long as he could remember. He was honest...... Loyal....... And usually would wake him up if he overslept! Rowland really should know better, he had a hell of a lot of work to do. He'll most likely have a little yell at him later but most likely wouldn't fire him or anything, other than this one time he'd been a perfect record employee.

Seto quickly tossed himself out of bed and put on the clothes that he had laid out on the side table the night before. It didn't take him very long to get everything on and was ready; he was only going to the mansions office anyway for today and not the company building.

Seto entered the kitchen area to get some breakfast quickly before he started to really dig into his work and immediately saw a little figure sitting on a seat at the main kitchen table. The figure had its back turned away from him and had yet to notice Seto's entrance.

"Morning Mokuba....." Seto greeted softly and watched as Mokuba flinched a little from the sudden noise and turned around to look at him.

"Oh..... Morning Seto." Mokuba greeted back and gave a weak smile.

Seto looked at the kitchen clock quickly and then turned to look back at Mokuba. "You're late for school." Seto stated and frowned. "You should've left ages ago."

"........" Mokuba opened his mouth but no words come out, making it quite obvious that he was struggling for words in reply. "Seto....... Is something wrong with the cameras?"

Seto looked a little taken back when he first heard those words, Mokuba had just replied with his own question instead of answering his. "Wha- What do you mean, Mokuba?" Seto questioned, wondering what Mokuba meant.

"The cameras keep following me." Mokuba frowned in reply. "And I could swear that someone keeps going into my room or something."

"Why would you think that Mokuba? All staff always knows that our bedrooms are off limits, other than the maids to clean up. None of them would ever dare do anything but." Seto replied, why was his brother coming up with all this? Granted though he'd already seen weird things happen with things like the security cameras, which he thought had something to do with the virus he'd been trying to seek out. But he didn't want to tell Mokuba any of this; Mokuba would only be worried and most likely wouldn't be able to help anyway, it was his job to sort whatever that is out. He was intrigued though on what exactly had been happening with the cameras."And what about the cameras?"

"I've already said...... They keep on following me, literally. Every single movement." Mokuba frowned, feeling like he was having to repeat himself. "They're....... They're starting to not feel like security cameras anymore but like...... An actual person is watching me all the time. You're not using the cameras to watch me Seto, have you?"

Seto's eyes widened a little, he could see that his little brother wasn't lying; he could see slight fear and being scared in his eyes. Now that Seto had thought about it he had that himself at some points, feeling like someone was watching his every move but only ever seeing the security cameras..... No one real in the corridors. He had been trying to ignore it but now this worried him, now even Mokuba has noticed that something's wrong and feeling like it was an actual person. He felt his protective older brother feelings kick in, it might sound stupid but it felt like somewhat a threat.

"Even my laptop...... It keeps strangely turning itself on and turns on its web camera with it, even though I know for certain that I turned it off." Mokuba continued when he didn't get much of a reply after a certain length of time. Was a bit nervous then because Seto usually wasn't one to be short of words and looking at him like a deer caught in head lights. "Have you been watching me to make sure I haven't gotten into trouble or something, Seto? I would like to know if you are; make me stop thinking that I'm going crazy."

Seto carried on standing there for a moment, unsure what the correct answer would be. He couldn't reveal anything that he did know but at the same time he didn't have the answer either. "I'll have a word with the staff." He finally blurted out, first thing that popped into his head. He also turned a certain degree and proceeded to make his way back out of the kitchen. "I won't allow them to break rules in this house."

Mokuba watched with a semi comical eyebrow pushed up, even though he didn't see it as to over comical. His brother was acting totally out of character, what was wrong with him recently? All that work overload finally catching up with him? He's going to have to keep possibly a closer eye on him or something....... Make sure nothing serious was wrong.....


Seto walked into his office and walk around in circles a little for a few moments to let off some steam.

"I must've looked like a total idiot in front of him." Seto grunted to himself while doing so. "Haven't even got an answer for him..... And now he feels threatened..... Which is all unacceptable. I bet this is all that viruses fault! It'll regret itself ever being created if I catch it!"

".........."

Seto turned around when he felt a presence enter his home office. His eyes automatically set on the person he was cussing about earlier for not waking him up, Rowland. "And what was with you not waking me up this morning?" He demanded.

"You........ You looked so tired from training up in the virtual chambers last night and it's the first good night's sleep you've gotten in ages... Sir." Rowland replied nervously, now wondering whether he had done the right thing. Most likely not, Seto usually had a rotten temper when things didn't go to his schedule.

"You know that doesn't matter, Rowland!" Seto burst at his leader of staff. "You know how important work is at the moment, more than ever and I have so much to do considering I might as well run this place single handed."

"But...... Why would you want to rush around doing work you've already done.......?" Rowland questioned nervously, wondering why Kaiba was getting so stressed over nothing.

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Seto roared, what was the meaning of this? This was Kaiba Corp. There was always something to be done, always testers, paperwork, meetings....etc... Stuff was never 'done'. "When I left the office before dinner yesterday there was an unbelievable amount of work to be sorted and done."

"I've already checked the computers earlier this morning, sir." Rowland replied. "Strangely everything on your lists seems to be done, other than meetings that have been scheduled. Are you sure you didn't finish it off later yesterday?"

"That's impossible! I know what I've done, Rowland." Seto snapped back with a frown on his face, he had a perfect memory of everything, never forgot what he had and hadn't done.

Seto quickly walked over to his desk and waited for his laptop to totally boot up. The second it had loaded itself he clicked on all the necessary buttons and read through his personalised lists. His eyes widened more and more as he saw ticks beside absolutely everything, he didn't do this........ But who did? Who had managed to even get into his personal computer and go through his hard drive? No one else knew that kind of information like passwords other than himself and Mokuba.......


Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Granted not as great as what I wanted to write but I've been so cut short of time that I've barely had time to think, lol. Anyway, this is more of a little adder chapter, to add and help along with what will be happening later on in the story.

Happy Xmas 2008 if I don't update this before then, god the years gone by so fast! Lol.
