Melting Ch.7
By: Castianna
Seto made his way, quietly up the several flights of stairs to the top floor. When he reached the top he was slightly winded, but even more set in his plan. He was going to find out who the hell took his company from him. He walked quietly down hall after hall. Passing dark office after dark office, Finally reaching a place he knew very well...his office. The door was cracked slightly and he could hear voices drifting out to him. He moved to the door and listened.
A dark haired young man sat with his back turned to the door. He was speaking to someone else who wasnt quiet in view to the door. Seto listened carefully as the man planned out the rebuilding of Kaiba corp. It was then that the man turned around, and Seto froze instantly. He bumped the wall slightly in his shock.
"You can enter, Seto, Lurking in doorways isnt a good place for you. Brother." The man said loud enough for Seto to ear.
"Why, Mokuba?" Was all Seto could ask.
"Why not? After I left you seemed to continue as if nothing had gone wrong. It wasnt until after I started eating away at your company with my virus did it start to effect you. Your company was all you cared for, and now I took it. It is now MY company and you will have no part in it." Mokuba pushed a button on the phone. "Security. I would like you to come and escort someone to the main entrance. He appears to be lost."
"At once Sir!" The voice on the other line said. Security reacted instantly. They arrived within minutes and grabbed Seto roughly by the arms and escorted him to the elevator and down through the lobby. The pushed him roughly out the front doors, locking them behind him.
Akefia made himself comfortable in his brothers home. He didnt really care for his brothers innocent ways...but he needed a place to lie low for a few weeks and figured no one would look here. Ryou had gone to finish getting ready for work. "So, little brother...what have you been up to?"
"Since when do you care what I do in my spare time?" Ryou answered, peeking his head out of the bathroom.
Akefia feined hurt. "Ryou, I am your brother." He said.
Ryou shook his head and called over his shoulder. "So why do you need to lay low? Arms deal gone bad? Bank robbery foiled?" He said sarcasticly.
"Actually I attempted to steal the jewel museums latest exibit, The Canary Diamond." Akefia acted as if it where just a random everyday expirience to steal a diamond. Ryou choked and sputtered on his mouthwash.
"You did what?" He asked. Eyes wide with disbelief.
"I did, but the security is tighter around that diamond than little miss wheelers chastity belt."
Ryou sputtered again.
Rachel was finished her preping so she decided to call Ryou and ask him to walk with her this morning. She picked up the phone and dialed.
Ryou's cell phone began to vibrate on the coffee table. Akefia gave it a glance...checked down the hall for his brother than quickly answered the phone. "Hello?" He asked.
"Hey, Ryou...Its Rae. Did you want to walk me to the school today?" She asked.
"Sure Baby,...anything for my sexy thang!":
"What the? Who is this?" Rachel screamed into the phone.
"Why its me, my sexy bitch."
"Im calling the cops...Why do you have my friends cell phone? If you dont answer I will call the cops."
"Relax honey... Im his brother, No need for the police." He said calmly.
"Akefia? I should have known...Where is Ryou, I need to speak to him." She said.
"What? No hows it goin, great to hear from you?" He asked in mock offense.
"What ever, just put Ryou on the phone."
"What ever you say...Ryou! Phone!" Then he placed the phone down and headed to the kitchen.
Ryou came down the hall from the bathroom and picked the phone up off the coffee table. "Hello?"
"Ryou, Its Rae, Did you want to walk with me to the school today?"
"Of course. I will see you in...half an hour?"
"Sounds great. See you then."
The both hung up their phones.
Rae sat down on her couch looking at her engagement ring...Doubts niggled in the back of her mind. On one side she was extremely happy to be engaged to Ryou but on the other side, she wasnt sure if she was completely over the previous loves of her life. By the time Ryou knocked on her door she had successfully put her doubts aside and placed her smile back on. She grabbed her brief case and opened the door. She kissed him chastly on the cheek and linked one hand with his. And they walked quietly out of the appartment building and up the street towards the school.
