(Banira POV)
The next day when I got to Seto's to check on him there was a phone call. "Hello?" I answered it.
"Hello. Is this the residence of…Kaiba Seto?"
"Yes it is. This is his caretaker, Tenshi Banira."
"Is Seto available?"
"No, he's resting right now. May I ask who is calling?"
"It's Dr. Ki."
"Hello Doctor… is there a problem?"
"I'm afraid so. We were looking at some of Seto's x-rays and charts… we found something that we thought you, being his caretaker, should know of."
My heart pounded. "W-What is it?"
Mokuba walked by and I stopped him.
"Well, there's some spinal damage…but we found something…else."
"Which would be…?"
"Seto acquired Leukemia. Acute Leukemia. He's got about three more months to live."
My heart exploded into pieces. Then those pieces into smaller pieces. Tears flooded my face.
Mokuba looked at me. Though he couldn't hear the phone conversation, he looked worried.
"Th-Thank you Doctor…" I was sure he could hear the tears in my voice. I knew Leukemia well. Acute Leukemia got worse quick. I hung up the phone and sank to the floor, on my knees.
"Banira?" Mokuba asked, "You…okay?"
"Mokie…" I started as I looked at him. The tears were abundant now, "It's Seto."
"What. What about nii-san?" He looked even more worried.
"Mokie…he's got Leukemia. Acute Leukemia. He's only got three months…to live."
Mokuba gave me the same reaction I had when I heard 'leukemia' and 'Seto in the same sentence. His eyes filled with tears.
I opened my arms to hug him and we cried in an embrace. We cried and cried and cried.
"How are we going to tell Seto?"
"I don't know…" I answered. I wiped some tears from his face and started for Seto's room, Mokuba following close behind.
"Seto?" I whispered in case he was still sleeping.
Seto's eyes batted open and he looked at us.
"We've got something to tell you…" I said as I approached his bead and sat near his feet.
Mokuba nodded and did the same.
"What is it you have to tell me? I take it from the tone of your voice this isn't good news."
Tears welled up in my eyes. "I-I just got off the phone with Dr. Ki…he told me that…that…Seto, somehow you acquired Acute Leukemia!" I cried into my elbow and Mokuba hugged me.
Seto was shocked. "O-Oh…"
"You've got about three months to live…only a miracle can…can…" I started crying so harshly I couldn't speak.
"Well then…I've got to make the best of that three months…" He was trying harshly not to cry.
"We'll help you." Mokuba said as he still hugged me, "I'm sure that Banira would be happy to."
I nodded and hugged Seto. I couldn't control it…normally I would never even dare to hug Seto.
But instead of pushing me off, he wrapped his arms around me and closed his eyes.
Now, what can we do to make Seto so happy he's ready to die in three months?
