Meeting Mokuba

 

 

Jessica woke up the next morning to her Mother calling her down to get ready for school. Jessica got showered and dressed. Than she ran downstairs to get a piece of toast, and say goodbye to her Mother, instead she saw her Father in the kitchen. “DAD!!!” Jessica shouted, and ran up to him and gave him a big hug. “Dad, why are you here, you should of left for work at 5 this morning?” “Oh well, they said I could come in late today.” “That's good. How have you been Dad, I haven't seen you in a week or so?” “Oh I'm great, everything's going well, and I should be getting off of work more often now.” “So you're be able to spend more time with us, but why are they letting you off of work so much now?” “Don't you worry about it, everything's alright.” “Alright Dad, if you say so, well I gotta go to school now, or I'll be late. Oh and Mom I'm going to be home a little late tonight again, I have something I need to do.” “Alright dear.” “Kay, well I've gotta go now, see ya guys later.” “Bye Jessica.” Jessica's father shouted. Jessica grabbed her stuff and ran out the door, and spotted her friends hanging out by the street near her house. “Hey guys.” “Hey Jessica, you look like your in a good mood, anything special happen.” Ryou asked. “I got to see my Dad. He said he'd be home more often now. I'm so happy.” “Why is he going to be home more often, did something happen at work?” Tea questioned. “I'm not sure, all he said was that they we're letting him off more.” `Crap I was so happy about him being off more, I forgot that means he won't be making the same amount of money, he was before. If that's true I'm going to have to stop spending so much money, and start working more.' Jessica realized. “Jessica is something wrong, you look troubled now?” Yugi asked with concern. “Oh it's nothing, just thinking.” Jessica said with the best fake smile she could conger up. “Alright if you say so.”

 

The school day went by pretty slow, and Jessica wasn't in a good mood now. When lunch came around most of the people in the classroom grouped with their friends. Jessica noticed Seto was about the only student who didn't do this. Jessica grouped with her normal friends, and started eating her small lunch. “Jessica, you sure don't eat a lot.” Joey pointed out as he shoved some food in his mouth. “Oh that, ummm, I'm never really that hungry.” Jessica lied. A moment after she said that, her stomach growled disagreeing with her previous statement. “It sure doesn't sound like you're not hungry.” Tristan said. “Oh well ummm, I didn't think I would be hungry this morning, when I was packing my lunch. Don't worry about it, I'm ok.” Jessica assured them while putting on another one of her great fake smiles. “If you say so Jessica, but here have half of my sandwich, I wont eat it all anyways.” Tea said while finishing up the rest of her lunch. “Thanks.” “Hey do you guys wanna come over to my house today?” Tristan asked. “We can start planning for my birthday party.” “Sure.” Everyone except Jessica agreed. “Ummm I sorta have something to do today after school, so I can't.” “Oh, well we can all do it another time, so we can include you. Maybe tomorrow” “Ummm tomorrow wouldn't be very good either, but I can do it on Thursday.” “Alright” Tristan said. “So what are you doing today and tomorrow?” Joey asked suspiciously. “Oh well ummm…” Jessica said trying to think up a good excuse. “My Dad gets off early today and I wanna spend sometime with him, and tomorrow, my Dad asked me if I wanted to go hang with him, and since I don't see him much, I really want to.” “Oh, dats fine, I thought it was somethin' involvin' what we talked bout yesterday.” Joey said. “No, no, no, it's just about my Dad being home a lot now.” “Why is your Dad off so much now, I mean his job does require a lot of his time, so why would he be given a lot of time off, unless he got fired, or something like that.” Tristan suggested. “FIRED!!! Do you really think that happened? I never thought about that.” Jessica said almost in tears. “Wait Jessica, I didn't mean to make you cry, I was just suggesting something, but I'm sure that's not what happened, your Dad's a great worker, and they wouldn't just let him go like that. In fact I think they probably just understood his situation about not seeing his family much, and gave him some time off, cause he's been such a great worker for them.” Tristan quickly assured Jessica. “Yeah that could be the case too.” Jessica said now feeling better. Lunch than ended, and everyone went to his or her next class. The rest of the day went by pretty quickly.

 

“Hey Jessica, you still walking home with us today?” Tea asked after Team Sports class was over. “No, I can't, I just remembered I was supposed to meat my Dad at that café we were at yesterday.” “Oh, ok than, have a good time with your Dad, see ya tomorrow than.” Tea said as she ran off with the other guys. Jessica than slowly walked off in the direction of the café, which was also in the same direction as the place she was really going to. `I hope Moki goes to Domino Elementary School and not some other Elementary School, cause I really want to see him again. Let's see when do they get off of school, 3:30 I believe, so I have an hour and a half to wait.' As Jessica was walking in the direction of the café, and the Elementary School, she saw Seto's limo pass her again. `I guess he lives this way. I go this way everyday, but I never go as far as the café, my house is much closer.' Seto's limo disappeared out of site, and Jessica continued to walk towards the Elementary School. When she made it there, she realized she only had an hour wait now. She sat down near a Cherry Blossom Tree, and waited. Jessica was a pretty patient person, and it was such a nice Spring day she didn't mind just relaxing. Before she knew it, it was 3:30, and the kids were coming out of the building. She looked through the swarm of students for a boy with unruly ebony hair. With her good eyes she spotted one that looked just like an older Mokuba. She saw that he looked sad, and wasn't looking where he was going. Just than she saw the boy bump into a large male. “Hey watch where your going kid, you almost made me trip.” The older, larger boy yelled. “I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going.” “Sorry doesn't work, what if I got hurt, than what. You can't just say sorry and walk away free.” The large boy said, as some of his friends gathered around the younger boy. `Oh no, this isn't looking too good. I better help him.' Jessica thought. Jessica walked up to the group of boys about to pounce on the little kid in the middle of their circle. “Hey what are you boys doing, leave the kid alone.” Jessica yelled at them once she reached them. “And what are you going to do lady.” The supposed leader of the group said. “Damn kid you got some guts. I know better fighting skills than you will ever know, but I don't enjoy betting up little kids, but I assure you if you don't leave the kid alone I will resort to some violence.” Jessica said in a menacing voice, while cracking her fists. The large boys were tough, but seemed a little bit afraid. “You ain't got the guts to attack us lady.” The leader bravely spoke. “But I don't even need to attack you, all I said is that I would resort to some violence, not attack you.” Jessica corrected him. Than Jessica, being twice as big as most of them, pushed them out of the way making sure not to injure them, and grabbed the poor little boy in the middle. She swooped him up in her arms, and ran off fast. Jessica being the fast sprinter that she was, quickly distanced herself, and the boy from the gang of larger thugs. She made it to the back of the School, and hid in a bush. The group of big kids finally made it back there, and didn't see them in sight. They searched for a while but to no avail, so they gave up and left.

When Jessica was sure the cost was clear, she and the boy walked out of the bushes. “Gee, thanks Mrs. I would of gotten beaten up if you didn't come just in time.” The boy said with a big adorable smile of his face. “No need to thank me, I used to do that a lot for you back when we were kids, Moki.” Jessica said with a sweet smile on her face. “Huh, how do you know me?” “Oh come on Mokuba, don't I look a little familiar, I know it was a while ago, but I think you should still remember a little bit.” “Yeah you do look very familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. Can ya give me a hint?” “I'm friends with you big brother too, and I knew you guys at the orphanage.” “OH, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! YOUR JESSICA. I can't believe I couldn't remember. I'm sorry. You look almost the same, so I don't know why I couldn't tell who you were.” Mokuba said happily, and ran into Jessica's arms and gave her a big hug. “I missed you so much Moki, it's really good to see you again.” “Yeah, its good to see you again too. Have you met Big Brother again?” “Yeah I saw him yesterday. He seems a bit different though. He doesn't talk as much as he used to. He seems a bit distant.” “Yeah Big Brother has changed a lot since than, but he still treats me well.” “Well that's good. He wasn't mean to me or anything, just not very friendly.” “I know what you mean. He says he doesn't wasn't friends, and thinks they will only weaken him, but I think he needs a good friend or two, but Big Brother doesn't trust many people anymore.” “Really, that's sad, but he promised we'd be friends forever, and forever's not even close to being over, and people who don't keep their word are the weakest kind of people I know.” “You know, your right. I think Seto still wants you as a friend, but he's just afraid to show it, like I said he has trust issues, and he is worried what other people think about him.” “Yeah, maybe that's it.” “Hey, I don't have anything to do today, other than my homework, so do you think you can come over and hang out with me? Its so boring around the house when Big Brother's working, which is like all the time, so do you think you can come over?” Mokuba asked with big pleading eyes. “How can I say no to that face, sure that would be great, you sure Seto won't mind.” “Oh he won't mind. He never minds if I have friends over, as long as we don't bother him when he's working.” “Ok that shouldn't be a problem” “Ok than lets go, the limo is waiting for us, and the driver is probably getting worried about where I am.” “LIMO!?” “Yeah that's how I get home.” “Oh really! I thought that was only how Seto got home, neat.” “Nope, I have a limo too. Ok well we should get going.” “Kay.” With that Jessica, and Mokuba walked towards the front of the school, and to the long black limo, with a KC logo on it. They both got in and the driver drove off towards the Kaiba Mansion.

 

 

A/N: Poor Mokuba still getting picked on, I feel bad for him. Sorry there was no Seto in this chapter, he'll be in the next one! Next Chapter will take a little while, I'm slowly working on it, but it should be up before the end of November, I hope ^_^'
