Bloody Life

Chapter 6: Tension

 

2008

 

It was another boring day at K.C. (a.k.a. Kaiba Corp.). That is for everyone except Seto Ketsueki Kaiba. Seto has been expecting a new worker…but not just any worker. The boy's name is Yugi Mutou, age 21, and the reincarnation of Atemu's lover. Seto had given Atemu a job that would force Yugi to work in the same office as Atemu. Seto and Atemu told Kokoro he didn't have to work and could live with Seto, much to Seto's dislike. Kokoro ended up keeping his job as head of security and, much to his dislike as well, living with Seto in his mansion.

 

The secretary had rung in a few minutes ago saying Yugi had arrived. A knock came to his door and he look up, “Come in.” With granted admission the small boy entered. Yugi looked as he did in his dreams of his past. Yugi walked over and sat down in the chair across from Seto. Seto nods to Yugi acknowledging him, “When can you start?” Yugi stuttered out his answer, “Tomorrow…” Seto seemed confused, “Why not today?” Yugi was taken back, “Because my friends are downstairs in your lobby waiting to celebrate with me.” The unusual smile comes to Seto's lips, “I would like to meet them.” Surprised Yugi nodded.

 

Yugi led Seto down to the lobby to meet his friends. Yugi turned to Seto, “The blond is Joey, then Tristan, then Anzu, and Ryo, and Kari.” Seto's eyes shined, Kari looked just as she had many, many years ago. Yugi continued to talk, “Guys this is Mr. Kaiba…what do you think Mr. Kaiba.” Seto walked over to Joey, “If you don't mind me saying. This one is a mutt.” Joey growled. Seto continued down the line describing Tristan as a bone-head, Anzu as a tramp, and Ryo as too innocent for his own good. Seto cupped Kari's chin, “…And you're the most beautiful flower I have ever seen.” Kari jerked away and slapped Seto across the face. Kari shouted at Seto, “How dare you insult my friends…” Her tone softens, “But you are very sweet to say those things about me.” Seto smirks, “I only speak the truth.” Kari rolls her eyes, “Well you have another thing coming if you think you can insult my friends then try to hook up with me!”

 

Kari's hand meets Seto's cheek again and she runs off. Yugi yelled after her, “Kari!” Yugi turned to his friends, “Go after her please?” Yugi's friends took off after Kari. Seto's hand lifted to his reddened cheek and mumbles to himself, “She's so different…yet just the same.” Yugi turned to Seto, “I apologize Mr. Kaiba.” Seto held up his hand, thus silencing Yugi. Seto smiles, “Go with your friends. But be here at 8 A.M. sharp. When you arrive ask for Atemu.” Yugi nods and leaves.

 

Seto returned to his office and within a few minutes Atemu and Kokoro stood before him. Kokoro slams his fists on the desk, “How dare you act like that around my-.” Seto smirks, “Were you going to say sister? Well she's not so get over it!” Seto stands up as well and continues to yelling, “So don't even say to stay away from her. I'll do what I want.” Kokoro growls, “Well I am older than you and with a snap of my fingers I could have you dead.” Silent tears stung Kokoro's eyes, “If it wasn't for you…my sister would still be alive!” Atemu sighs, “Now stop that Kokoro that's not fair at all. It's not Seto's fault in the least bit.” Kokoro glares at Atemu, “You're right. It's your fault Atemu! I'm going to make you hurt…just like you made me.” Kokoro slugs Atemu in the jaw sending Atemu to the ground. Kokoro storms out. Atemu stand and heads for the door. “He won't hurt Yugi I swear. It's the least I can do,” Seto says. Atemu turns back and faces Seto, “You need to calm down…I don't want to be rude…but you need to get over it too. She's back so embrace that. Either that or continue what you're doing and be a cold hearted bastard.” Atemu walks out and slams the door. Seto sits back down and places his head in his hands, “What am I going to do?” He says to absolutely no one.

That night Seto went home not expecting Kokoro to be there. `Damn…I don't want to do this,' Seto thought as he approached Kokoro. Kokoro sat in the living room with everything off except the lights were dimmed. Seto took a deep breath, “Kokoro, I-.” Kokoro slammed Seto into the floor. “Don't say a word,” Kokoro hissed. Seto began to open his mouth but Kokoro pulled out a silver hand gun and placed it ready to fire at Seto's throat. “Listen smart-ass, this gun may not kill you put it will hurt like hell. I talked to Atemu. You're right she's no my blood sister…But I will still protect her with my life. You hurt her and you will be twelve feet under.” Kokoro stood and helped Seto up then put his gun away. “Kokoro?” “What do you want? Me to shoot you?” Kokoro smirks. Seto just shook his head, “Why did you say twelve feet?” “Six feet under is such a cliché,” Kokoro laughs. The silvered hair vampire turns and leaves to his room who is soon followed in suit by Seto.

That night Kokoro relived the night of his sister's death. Atemu relived his death. While Seto unfortunately relived both his losses of Emiko and his original love…a girl named Bakari.

A piercing scream echoed through out the house. Something was wrong and Kokoro intended on figuring it out. He raced down the hall to Seto's room. Kokoro barged into Seto's room to see him sitting up in his bed curled into a ball. The young vampire sat shaking with the sheets twisting around his form. Kokoro didn't want to approach Seto but he did. Kokoro cleared his throat, “Seto…we're going to be late.” The young man looked up and nodded. Seto's eyes told Kokoro one thing, Seto was in a state of hopelessness.

 

After Seto finally got out of bed and he and Kokoro had their breakfast, they got in the limo and left for work. Once at the towering building Kokoro headed to his station while Seto took to his office. As he passes Atemu's office, which is next to his, Seto heard the faint voices of talking.

When Atemu had got to work at about 7:30 that morning Kokoro and Seto were no where to be found. Atemu shrugged it off and went to wait in the office Yugi and he would be sharing. Time had seemed to fly by; a small knock came to the door. Atemu took the honor in opening the door himself. In the doorway stood Yugi. Who Atemu had longed to see again. Atemu smiled down at Yugi, “It's nice to meet you Yugi. I'm Atemu.” Yugi politely smiled back, “Nice to meet you too.” Atemu explained what they would be doing and when their lunch break and all would be. After an hour or so of silence Atemu turned to Yugi who sat about six feet away. “Um…Yugi?” Yugi turned to Atemu acknowledging him and nodded for him to continue. So Atemu did, “Where are you going for your lunch break?” “Well if it's okay my friend Kari said she would bring me lunch.” Atemu nodded, “Yeah that's fine…I…um…will be right back.” Atemu stood and hastily walked out of the room. He made his way to Seto's office door and walked in, “Seto…?” He didn't even look up from the computer screen, “What do you need Atemu?” “Well, I just wanted to inform you that Kari is coming to drop Yugi's lunch off.” That caught his attention. Seto looked up, “What's the plan?” Atemu quickly regretted he mentioned Kari. He thought for a moment then looked at his watch it was noon exactly. “Seto I need you to run to my house and get me something.” Seto eyed him suspiciously, “What do I need to get?” “On the kitchen counter is a small red book,” Atemu said a little too quickly. He was running out of time. Atemu quickly added in, “You owe me…So do it.” Seto sighed, he hated when Atemu played the `you owe me' card. Seto stood and walked out taking Atemu's house keys. Once Seto walked out and was a little ways off Atemu flipped out his cell phone.

Kokoro picked up his cell to see Atemu calling, “Hello? What do you need Atemu?” “Make sure Seto and Kari get on the same elevator…alone. Then stall them somehow. Be an evil mastermind…please?” Atemu pleaded. Kokoro sighs, “Fine,” then clicks the phone shut. Kokoro turns to a monitor and sees Seto getting on an empty elevator, the middle one. Kokoro turns to a different monitor to see Kari walking down the hall to the elevators, from Yugi and Atemu's office. Kari presses the button and the middle elevator opens. She steps in and the doors quickly shut behind her. Kari turns to see none other than Seto in the same elevator.
