MasakiSora-chan: So here goes chapter 2.
Joey: So we are in it, right?
MasakiSora-chan: I told you so, didn't I?
Joey: Yeah, I was just wanting to make sure.
MasakiSora-chan: Really, you…By the way, I do not own Yugioh only my own characters and the story line.
Return of closed feelings
Chapter 2:
At exactly 8 a.m. Seto strode into Solomon Mutos game shop, closely followed by Mokuba.
The old man was just polishing his showcase as the young men came in.
'Welc-. Oh, it's you, Kaiba, Mokuba. What did I do to obtain this honour?' The old man welcomed him.
'I have to speak with Yugi.' Seto answered slowly, growing more and more impatient.
'Wait a minute. I'll call him.' Solomon said quickly and vanished behind a door onto the stairs that went upstairs.
'Seto, why did you come to see Yugi?' Mokuba asked his older brother, still not catching on. Seto hadn't told him why they were here in the first place.
'You'll find out soon enough.' The older sibling answered.
Two minutes later Solomon returned with his grandson, who seemed pretty much awake despite the early hour.
'Kaiba? What do you want from me?' Yugi asked. 'And hello Mokuba.'
Before Mokuba good also greet him Seto cut in.
'Can we talk somewhere else? I have something important to ask you.'
Yugi blinked in surprise. Did Kaiba just say he had a question?
But then the smaller boy saw that Kaiba didn't have a good mood so he quickly went on.
'Well, come up then.' Yugi finally suggested and showed the two brothers the way.
'But my friends are here. They slept over because we wanted to watch some duels on TV together. I can arrange to go in any other room though.'
Seto thought a moment. Then he answered: 'It's no problem. Maybe it will be interesting for them too.'
Yugi looked doubtfully at him then they entered the living room.
Seto immediately realized that really the whole group was assembled: Joey and Tristan seemed to fight over their breakfast, Tea was shaking her head over their behaviour and Bakura was only watching.
Even Duke was there, next to Tristan and Joey.
They all looked up as they heard them enter and gasped like fish as they saw the CEO of KaibaCorp.
'What is rich boy doing here, Yug?' Joey asked.
'I'm not sure, he wants to ask me something.'
'Ask?' Duke repeated.
Yugi turned back to Seto. 'Do you want something to drink?'
'No, thanks Yugi. All I want is an answer to my question.'
'So what do you want to know? Do want a rematch with Yugi?' Tristan meant.
Seto rolled his eyes. Obviously Yugi didn't tell them about their rematch. Again he shoved the unpleasant thought aside.
'I want to know if the name Catherine rings any bells.' He went on, totally ignoring the glares of the others.
'Catherine?' Bakura repeated slowly.
'Who should that be?' Joey asked.
Seto couldn't hide a grin. Apparently even his so called best friend didn't know who this girl was, but he could see on Yugis face that the King of Games knew which person Seto was referring to.
'Yugi?' Tea asked her friend curious.
She also had seen Yugi's now pale face.
'Hey, Kaiba, what Catherine do you mean? You also have a surname?' Joey now asked the brunette directly.
'I think she goes by Catherine Muto.'
The sentence hang in the room, which was suddenly deathly still.
It was Seto who broke the silence first. 'I'm just curious about your relationship with her. I never knew you had more relatives.'
'Yugi? Who is Catherine?' Tea demanded.
'Well, I think it's time I told you about her.' Yugi muttered.
Nobody spoke, everyone just stared at him so he went on.
'Catherine is my older sister.'
'Your what?'
'My older sister. I haven't seen her for years though.'
'Wait. How come we don't know her?' Tristan and Joey now asked, shocked.
'As I said. I didn't see her for years. The last time was before she went to Egypt five years ago.'
'What did she do in Egypt?' Duke's question seemed to be in everyone's heads.
Seto was glad they all asked the same things he wondered about.
'Ancestry research.'
'Ancestry research.' Bakura repeated with a low tone.
'She thought that her, grandpa and me are descendants of the old Pharaohs and to find proof for it, she went to Egypt. Later Ishizu told me that she had met them, before Marik went crazy.'
'So did she confirm her theory?' Duke and Tea asked simultaneously.
Yugi shook his head. 'I don't know. I didn't see her. She wrote me a letter that she found out something but she didn't write any details.'
'You said she went to Egypt. Any idea why she would be going to South America?' Seto now asked.
'South America?' Yugi repeated with a now questioned expression.
'Yes. That's where my satellites caught her. In fact I didn't search for her. Yesterday night was the first time she showed up in my duelist files. She is your sister therefore I presume that she is also a duelist.'
'Yes.'
'Then why didn't she show herself earlier?'
Seto didn't want to show his concern that much but he really was curious.
'I think she didn't want to duel while she was in Egypt. Don't ask me why she went to South America. She didn't mention it in any way. And as I didn't know where she was I couldn't even try to meet her when we went to Egypt.'
'That's crazy Yug. No one has such a sister.' Joey stated, earning him a nod from Tristan.
'I know Joey. But nevertheless she is my sister.'
'You really never saw her in five years?' Mokuba said. It was the first time he said anything since their arrival.
'Well, yeah.'
Mokuba looked a bit ashamed to the ground.
'What's the problem, Mokuba?' Seto asked him.
'Nothing. It's just, I didn't want to be separated from you for five years. That's just too long.' Mokuba told him slowly and everyone looked down.
'Ok, Yugi has an older sister, who is now in South America. Anybody else besides me who wants to meet her?' Tristan cut through the silence and his friends looked at him bewildered.
'Meet her? How?' Yugi finally asked.
'Easy. Kaiba can track her down.'
'What?' Seto looked at Tristan as if he was going mad.
'He does have a point there, dude. You are the one who can track down any duel disk in the whole world.' Joey added.
'Yeah, but only if her disk is active. As long as it doesn't give a signal I can't do it.'
'But you found her yesterday.'
'It was because she was dueling.'
'But you could also find Joey during Battle City even when he was not dueling.' Yugi stated and Seto found himself in a corner.
This was the first time he was about to lose an argument.
He saw through the corner of his eye that Mokuba looked up to him with a pleading face.
Seto sighed. 'Alright, I'll search for her. But I won't pay the flight for all of you.'
'Yes! Pack your things, guys, we're flying to South America!' Joey cried out, slung his arm around Tristan and jumped on the couch.
'Silly person.' Seto muttered and turned around.
'Wait, Kaiba. When can we go?' Yugi called after him.
'Whenever you want. Just call me when you're ready.' Seto answered without turning around.
Mokuba followed on his toes and together they drove back to their mansion.
Immediately the little sibling began to pack his things.
'Why are you packing Mokuba?'
'Isn't it obvious? I mean, you never thought you could leave me behind again, did you?' Mokuba stated a-matter-of-factly.
Seto had to give in and only two hours later he received a call from Yugi informing him that they were all ready to depart.
It didn't surprise him though, they had all said they wanted to go as quickly as possible.
Seto got his and Mokubas trunk, then they went out to get on the plane. The others were told to come to the airport where the Kaiba brothers would pick them up.
About two hours later the plane was in the air again and with Yugi, his friends and Seto and Mokuba Kaiba on board, it flew towards South America.
Meanwhile in a darkened bureau in a side street of Domino City:
A man with short black hair, dark clothes and big boots sat behind his desk in the shadows, talking on the phone:
'Seto Kaiba is on the way to South America? Well, if you insist. Of course, I know what I'm doing. Seto Kaiba won't come back ever again.'
MasakiSora-chan: So there goes chapter 2.
Duke: When are you going to upload?
MasakiSora-chan: Not sure, chapter 3 is not finished yet.
Joey: Then go and write it.
MasakiSora-chan: I don't want to hear any orders from you.
Yugi: Aren't you forgetting something?
MasakiSora-chan: Hm? Ah, yeah, please be kind and review.
