Too all my readers, I am so sorry
Chapter 6
He looked at the child, in a shock the girl was curled up looking at a hard looking book. It's been a long time since I have studied like this I smile.
"What are you reading?"I ask,
"Science text book," was my reply. She looks up, "How do you know my Mummy, I've never met any of her duelling friends before."
"We first met, years ago." I say lamely, "What are you studying?" I ask trying to keep my voice under control, and not to scream out loudly.
"Science book," she muttered. She put the book down; I roll my eyes.
"Yes I can understand that, but WHAT part of science." I say, sometimes children annoy me…
"Photosynthesis in plants," she said, I nod. That was pretty advanced for a child so young… I smile the tiniest bit. She is exactly like me
"Oh that sounds fun," I say softly, god poor kid, "what's your favourite thing to do at school?" She shrugged I didn't blame her school was dull and boring forme too.
"I guess play games," she said, "I've never lost." I look up at that statement it was like me, I remember back at the orphanage I played games with everyone I could, just so I could get better.
"And why do you think you never lose." I ask,
"Because I try very hard, I always play with everyone I can, it makes me do better," I smiled a little and tried very hard to think logically, I looked around the child's room; there was dragon pictures toys and photographs of her and her Mum there was also kid stuff a little doll house and a dressing table which was next to me. I felt my phone ring, I take it, and there was a meeting which I had to go to, we want to extend Kaiba land and I need to make plans.
"I am afraid I have to go," I say to the child, "but before I go why don't you show me some pictures you are drawing." The one thing I know about kids, they like to draw. As the girl went to show me the pictures, I reached to her dressing table and grabbed some strands of hair off her brush.
Even through it was wrong I had to know.
As she turned around I placed the hair in my pocket in a plastic bag which I had all ready for this I needed to know, so I will know.
I smiled at her, and said my goodbyes I walk and see Mai who was making tea for everyone which was nice of her as some of my guards were more likely to break some of her things.
"I apologise Mai I know this is not part of your plan for me to know Jess, but if I can have a chance I swear to always treat her right." I knew leaving the ball in her court would be difficult but it would give her the option.
"Thankyou Seto but I need time," Mai said, I nod if all she wants is time that is just fine, I nod.
"I will be in touch," I say I leave the house… well apartment; I needed to go and do a test at once, the valuable hair in my pocket.
It was the most valuable hair in the world.
Mai's POV
After those morons left it took time for me to calm down, I mean Seto Kaiba was here, in Jess's room, with Jess my heart beating crazy but when he left she casually came out and wanted some milk. She never mentioned that Seto said that he was her father and as that is normally something someone would want to talk about. I knew I was safe… for now.
I turned on the TV and to my shock Yugi was on it, covered in dirt and his face was flustered, "A new discovery had been found in Egypt" I hear a female's voice "a kings tomb which dates over five thousand years has been found and leading the expedition is Yugi Mo-to" she said Yugi's name wrong but never mind, "what do you have to say about this discovery, are we any closer in finding out how the people of Egypt lived all of those thousands of years ago?"
"Yes, we have found out that the people of Egypt played card games often as well as recreation they use the games as a way to dispute arguments and as a way to come to agreements." I couldn't believe it, I mean ancient societies was never my best subject at school, but Yugi looked good… like really good, he didn't look scared at all. And considering he is in Egypt it is natural he would be a bit nervous being so far away from home and all.
"Thankyou Yugi and now we will hear from Joseph Wheeler," I think she said Joey's name wrong but I cant be sure because my heart was beating so hard I expected it to fly and hit Jess. "Who was the one who found the King's head piece now … how did you declare that the king worshiped the gods?" My heart was beating so hard and for the first time in years… I saw Joey; someone who could… quite possibly is my Daughters father. Joey was covered in dirt and had sweat around his face.
"Mum is there anything good on?" I at once turn the TV off, I didn't want Jess to see me like that so scared, about seeing Joey after so long, and it's not like he bothered to keep in touch. If he DID I would have allowed him visitation to Jess even if he isn't her Daddy, but he didn't want anything to do with me... not even Yugi…
"No nothing, do you want to play Chess?" For some reason Jess liked chess I was shocking at it personally but she liked it, so I did.
