Hero Up
Chapter 7
A Voice Inside My Head
While Seto was in his office Joey was sitting outside the door. When Roland came and went inside Joey tried to listen in. "Mr. Kaiba is any thing wrong sir?" Joey had his ear to the door as he eavesdropped. "Yes Mokuba and Wheeler's sister has been kidnapped apparently the person who has them captured left this note." Seto said as he handed Roland the piece of paper from his wallet.
Roland read it over then asked "Do you need police involved sir?" Seto thought for a moment then said "Until after my plan can they get involved." Roland was confused "You mean after your plan is put into action?" asked Roland.
Seto shook his head. "I'd like for them to be in hiding at the pier, they can show their faces when my plan is over." Joey then barged in. "Are you crazy Kaiba what kind of plan do you have anyway?" Joey asked as he crossed his arms. Seto sighed "I'm going to make the fool believe I'm dead when he kills me." Joey and Roland looked at each other then back at Seto. "That's not a bad idea sir." Seto nodded in agreement.
"I'll contact the police and tell them to be at the pier at 12'o clock in the morning." Roland said. "While you're at it take Wheeler home." Seto said gesturing to Joey. "Do you want me at the pier moneybags?" Joey asked before he left.
Seto nodded then let Roland and Joey leave. It was quiet at Kaiba Corporation. Not one one disturbance. Except he couldn't get Serenity out of his head. "I hope those goons don't do anything stupid cause if they hurt Mokuba or Serenity they'll pay dearly." Seto thought to himself. Seto shook his head. "What am I thinking, I don't care for the mutt's sister do I?" A voice said "Oh I bet you do love her, you just don't want to admit it because of your pride."
"Whoever you are I won't believe you my step father taught me to never love." Seto grumbled. "Not even Mokuba?"
Seto sighed "Mokuba is different he's family." Seto heard the voice give a sigh then say "You know Mokuba wanted you to live a happy life." Seto rubbed his eyes thinking he was seeing things. A ghostly shaped form of a women appeared in front of his desk. "Mother?" Seto questioned. The ghostly spirit smiled. "I know you don't believe in magic but this isn't magic." Seto sat up in his chair.
"So what are you doing here?" Seto said putting his hand under his chin. "I came because I wanted to change the relationship between you and Serenity."
"Why in the world did you decide to pop up now?" Seto asked a bit upset. The spirit sighed "Because it wasn't the right time yet but now it is. I see that Serenity loves you and I know you love her."
Seto looked at the floor "I do love her it's just I don't want her to get hurt in this kind of situation." He said sadly. "I think you have been living in the darkness to long Seto." the spirit said. "You may think right but it's to late to change." Seto said clenching his his hand into a fist. "Your stubbornness has come come a long way but it is never to late to change." the spirit said with a slight smile on her face.
Seto slightly chuckled the said "I guess I'll know tomorrow if she loves me or not." The spirit laughed with him as she walked to his chair. Seto got up. The spirit touched his chin then said "You changed a lot but it's time to break down those barriers around that heart of yours and start letting in the people that love you." She let go of his chin then say "Just remember Seto I'm always here watching. Seto watched as his beautiful mother disappeared his trench coat flying. "I'll try." Seto whispered as he looked at the picture of his desk.
