Sorry for the long wait. I've been having some family problems resently so it took me some time to get up the nerve to type the story. Hope you like the chapter!^^
Their eyes watched and waited patiently. It was two o'clock in the afternoon and the boy was still asleep. On a couple of occasions they checked to make sure he wasn't feverish. But he had had a long night and he felt just fine.
Only slightly did he eyes open before sliding back to sleep. He curled in on himself hoping the cold would go away but to no prevail. He felt like ice. All the covers in the world couldn't help. This was a blizzard after all, a cold furze blizzard, with only one thing, white snow. His emotions were gone again leaving him with a hole in his heart. He knew he should get up and go home but he was so heavy and you cannot feel when you're asleep. It's just black.
As soon as Seto got home from work he went to the phone. He had to know if Yami had the same vision as he did. He dialed the number and waited for the Mutous to answer their phone.
"Hello? Yami is this you?"
"Seto Kaiba."
"Where is Yami, he told me he was going to your house! Didn't you drop him off?"
Seto stared and thought for a second.
"He isn't with you?"
"No! So what did you do!"
"One moment…"
The phone was set down before the other had room for complaint. Seto made his way upstairs and through the halls. He stopped before he reached Yami's door and growled at his servants who were just talking, reading, or playing cards.
"What do you think you are doing?"
The servants looked up startled and tried to compose themselves.
"We were waiting on him like you said, Sir. But he hasn't woken up yet."
"You idiots I should fire all of you. You should have woken him up! Leave before I permanently remove you"
With that they all scrambled out of sight allowing Kaiba to enter the room. He swung open the door and walked into the room. He walked over to the bed so he was standing at its side and looked at its occupant. Yami was still. He breathed slowly. Seto started debating if he should wake him but his mind was made up.
"Get up."
Yami didn't move.
"Oi! I said get up."
Again no reaction. Seto growled and shook Yami to wake him up. He rolled over and was silent. Seto breathed out deeply and went to the bathroom. He came back with a cup of water.
"Pharaoh, I told you to wake up!"
He splashed the water over Yami's face causing him to shoot up in surprise.
"Finally, awake are we."
Yami blinked and looked at Seto. After recovering from his shook, he slowly became very angry that he had been woken up in such a manner. But then, why did he feel happy? Yami stiffened as he felt butterflies in his stomach. He gridded his teeth as he realized his emotions had returned. How convenient he thought as he rolled his eyes.
"Get dressed, I need to talk to you. I'll see you at dinner"
With that Kaiba walked out of the room and shut the door. Yami growled with anger no longer feeling the play on emotions Kaiba brought with him. He was a little surprised to find that he was not in his room but still in Seto's mansion. The room was fairly large with a beautiful purple and gold theme. He found his clothes folded by his bed and slipped them on. He sat back down for a bit and had to fight himself to not roll back over and fall sleep. He was just so tired. He got up, groaned, and started dragging his feet down the halls.
As Seto shut the door, he couldn't help but wonder if the young Pharaoh was sick. That would explain why he slept so late but then why would he be so submissive? Normally the King of Games would have smashed his head into a wall for waking him up and then ordering him around! With that in mind, he concluded the younger teen sick. Out of instinct, Seto headed for the kitchen to make soup just like he would have had Mokuba been sick.
After wondering the halls for a while Yami realized he was helplessly lost in Kaiba's labyrinth. Luckily, as he turned the corner he collided with someone.
"Ouch! Watch where you're… Yami!"
Yami rubbed his stomach because of the impact of the younger Kaiba brother.
"Hello. Mind showing me where your dining room is?" He asked sheepishly.
"Did my brother just leave you by yourself?"
"Well… yeah, he did."
"Uggh, real charmer brother. Speaking of which the dining room is all the way down there. How'd you get out here?"
Yami sighed. He had been going in the complete opposite direction.
"Your house is a maze Mokuba. I got lost."
"Haha, I suppose it can be if you've never been in it before. Let's go then, so what have you two been up to?"
"Not much, Seto showed me his cards."
"They're great aren't they!"
"Yes, yes they are."
At this Yami looked at the small area of discolored skin on his palm from the card. He shivered slightly at the pain in his chest.
"Truly something else."
"Haha, don't get too jealous and anyway here we are so where is his useless butt!"
The two looked around the room but the CEO was nowhere to be seen.
"Well, we might as well wait."
So, the pair sat down and waited, and waited and waited some more until finally the double doors to the kitchen opened and out went a tall brunette carrying two piping hot bowls of soup. The man plopped them down in front of Yami and then Mokuba.
"Brother! I'm not sick!"
Yami gasped and then started to giggle. Here Seto the great CEO was serving soup with a white apron on!
"Who said I made it for you?"
With that he walked over to Yami and felt his forehead. Yami jumped a little but froze as he felt Seto's warm hands.
"You don't feel sick."
He plopped a thermometer under Yami's arm.
"Leave that there"
"What's it for?" He asked pulling it out for inspection.
"I said leave it there," snapped Seto. He grabbed the thermometer and shoved it back under Yami's arm.
"Yami's sick?"
The Thermometer beeped. "Must be broken," mumbled Seto."Yes he is sick."
"What I'm not sick. I feel fine!"
"Then why'd you sleep so late? Just shut up and eat your soup."
Before Yami could reply Seto vanished into the kitchen. After a while he returned with his own bowl of soup.
"And what makes you think I'm sick"
"You collapsed yesterday and for the last time you slept through the whole day."
"I was just tired," grumbled Yami.
Mokuba started chuckling and had to refrain himself from laughing. This made Seto realize the gravity of the situation. He put his head in his hand and cursed his parental instincts. It wasn't his fault, he did after all mostly raise Mokuba and in fact was still raising him. He had let his instincts get the better of him which resulted in him, dare he say It, mother henning over Yami. They finished and Yami watched as Seto gave his brother a hug and sent him off to bed.
"Goodnight Yami! Goodnight Brother!"
"Goodnight!" They replied in unison.
As soon as Mokuba left the room Seto turned his full attention to Yami.
"Why did you faint yesterday?"
"I didn't faint," he snapped.
"You were unconscious."
"I feel asleep."
"In the middle of the hard floor?"
"So I might have been knocked out. You were the one that hit me!"
"Quit being over dramatic! I grabbed my card back."
"While hitting me rather hard in the chest I'm surprised there's no mark! Felt like someone just cut me opened."
"What?"
"It hurt you sadist."
Seto sat quite perplexed he knew he didn't hit Yami. They fell in different directions. He looked up and faced the Pharaoh's heated glare.
"What did you dream about?"
"What the hell are you smoking?"
Seto choose to ignore Yami's comment. "I think I had a dream or a vision. Did you?"
"I thought you didn't believe in that stuff Kaiba."
"Are you stupid or should I repeat the question."
They sat there glaring across the table each challenging the other. Finally, Yami spoke
"No, I did not."
Seto sighed.
"However, I cannot say that I didn't either. I…"
Yami glanced uneasily at Seto calculating what effect what he was going to say would have on Seto. "Yes ." Seto encouraged.
"Before I was knocked out I felt warm, like a part of the Sun but as the light increased I felt fear…
Yami was no longer looking at Seto. His voice had dropped to a whisper. He whispered as if he were recounting the events to himself. Seto had to lean in a bit to hear what he had to say. He would have yelled at Yami to speak up but somehow he didn't think the teen would talk if he did.
"There was blood everywhere… The floor, the altar, Me. I couldn't think too well. It was all a big haze. But, I was afraid. And then I heard someone shouting. I don't remember who it was. Didn't matter though not too long after I felt like my chest exploded and then it was black….
Because you knocked me out!" glared Yami.
Seto sat back a little. He was confused. So Yami also had a vision.
"Was it part of your past? Do you remember?"
Yami scoffed "Who cares? It doesn't matter. Just a dream."
"The last time your past was involved the world was in danger. It matters."
Yami rolled his eyes. "Well, Kaiba maybe you should save it. I'm sure Ishizu could help you."
Suddenly something in Kaiba's mind clicked.
"Okay, why don't we. I'm sure she knows all about this Egyptian crap."
Seto was grinning from ear to ear.
"I don't think you picked up when I said you."
"Oh well than I'm sure Yugi would be interested to know how you passed out from this threatening vision."
Yami's mouth hung open. If Yugi found out he would be all over Yami with unnecessary worry and concern. The little one was already watching him with hawk eyes.
"Well, that's settled."
Kaiba smirked triumphantly. He knew he just won this duel. Grabbing his keys they made their way out the door.
Well, there you have it. I hope I didn't make the two too OC. I was a little worried that Kaiba was but come on he would ttly have to raise his little brother!^^
