The Grand Tour

 

 

“Wow! I've never been in a Limo before!” Jessica exclaimed as she inspected the interior of the fancy car. The Limo had five soft, black seats but with no seatbelts, a TV in the ceiling that came down with the touch of its fancy remote, a tinted glass window blocking the view of the driver, a nice radio system built into a consol between two seats, and cool drink holders that came down between each seat. “It's not that exciting.” Mokuba said in a dull voice. “You only say that because you ride in one of these babies everyday, while I haven't even seen one up close till today. Lucky you got adopted into a rich family.” “About that. You know me and Seto live alone right?” “WHAT! I didn't know that.” “Yeah the man who adopted us died a while ago. Seto doesn't like to talk about him, or our previous family, or the days at the orphanage.” “Well I can understand not wanting to talk about your previous family, and the orphanage, but why doesn't he like talking about his step-father.” “Let's just say our step-father wasn't the nicest man in the world.” Mokuba said with a sad and pained look on his face. “Oh I'm sorry I didn't know.” “It's ok, just try not to mention it around Seto.” “Kay I won't bring it up again.” “Ok, were here.”

 

The Limo drove past an iron fence and up a long driveway to a gorgeous baby blue mansion. “Wow, your house is so amazing!” “I guess you'll want the grand tour of it than.” “Yes of course.” Jessica agreed very ecstatically. The limo went around a big circle. In the middle of that circle was a humongous fountain, which had a big dragon sculpture with three heads spitting crystal clear water in different directions into a bigger pool underneath it. Upon closer inspection Jessica realized the dragon was made out of diamonds with deep blue sapphires for eyes on each head, and dark red rubies for the mouths. The Limo came to a stop in front of a very small stairway leading to two big dark blue doors with a crystal doorknob on each. Mokuba, and Jessica both left the vehicle, and headed for the door. “Wow Mokuba, I love that fountain; its so pretty, and expensive looking. I love the dragon, I have a thing for dragons.” “What a coincidence, Seto loves dragons too, at least that dragon; he's obsessed with it. It's from a duel monsters card called The Blue Eyes White Dragon. When three of those cards are fused together they create The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which is what you see there with the three heads.” “Really, I've never seen that card before.” “There are only four of those cards in the whole wide world, and Seto has three of them.” “Wow, that's amazing, I have a deck myself, but it's probably no where near as good as Seto's.” “Yeah Seto has so many rare cards, and most of them aren't even in his deck.” “I say it again wow, I haven't even gotten inside your house and I'm already overwhelmed by it.” “Well don't pass out or anything, we just started the tour. Come on lets go inside.” “Kay.”

 

Mokuba led Jessica inside, and into a long deep blue entrance hall with wooden floors. They both took off their shoes in the doorway, and than headed down the hall to a huge room. “This is the living room, where we watch TV, listen to music, or just relax.” The room had a large big screen TV with surround sound, and a very big stereo system. It was painted midnight blue, with very soft, fluffy, white carpet. In front of the TV there was a large, dark blue, L-shaped couch. “Wow, it looks so comfortable in here.” “That's not all, watch.” Mokuba reached for the light switch, and turned off the lights, and you could see little stars all over the ceiling, and walls of the room. “Oh my gosh, it looks just like a real night sky, you even have actual star constellations up there. How did you do that?” “Oh all you need is a really good professional painter, a map of the stars, and some glow in the dark paint. Alright on to the next room.” Mokuba led Jessica towards a door on the other side of the entrance hall. They entered the room, and Mokuba turned on the lights. “This is Seto's study; it's where he is most of the time when he's at home. This is where he does his work, and studying. I come in here every once in a while to either try to get Seto off his computer, or to just borrow some of his many books to do research, or something.” The room was painted black, with wooden floors. There was a big desk facing the door, with a large computer on top of it, and a large swivel chair neatly pushed into the desk. On one side of the room there were shelves, upon shelves of books, and on the other side of the room, there was a cozy looking red couch, and a large fireplace. “It sure is comfortable in here, I can see why he stays in here for a long time.” “Seto is a workaholic so it's perfect for him to be in here a lot; no distractions, and research materials everywhere, and if he gets tired he could just go take a nap on the couch, and wake up again and go right back to work.” “Wow is that what he actually does? He needs to lighten up, if all he does is work and sleep.” “Yeah I agree with you, that's why I try to get him to go and play with me, but if I actually get him to come with me, he just brings his laptop with him and does work there.” “That's really sad, we're gonna have to change that.” Jessica said with a big smile on her face. “Yes definitely, he doesn't need to be doing all this work, he needs some fun in his life.”

 

The duo walked out of the study, and across the living room towards a door. When Mokuba opened it Jessica gasped. It was a large ballroom with white, and gray marble floors, and walls. There was a big stage for bands, DJ's, or just karaoke at the front of it, and towards the back there was a large bar, with little red bar stools, and about 5 small circular tables near it. “This is our ballroom, where we host company parties, or anything other party type thing.” “Isn't Seto a bit young to be drinking?” Jessica asked pointing to the bar. “Legally, yes he is too young, but he has a drink once in a rare while, and if adults see him, they don't think too much about it. When your that rich you can get away with things like that.” “I guess so. That's pretty cool.” “Follow me.” Mokuba, and Jessica went towards a door in the back of the ballroom next to the bar, which led to a huge game room. The room was painted aquamarine, and had turquoise carpet. The room was about as big as the living room, but had way more things in it. The room was filled with arcade games. There was a large pool table in one of the corners of the room, and a big TV with tons of video game systems hooked up to it. “Woh this room looks fun! You even have DDR.” “Yup, all the versions, and even some that aren't available to the public.” “Wow this room is amazing, I'm going to have to come over more often.” Jessica laughed. “Yeah this has got to be one of my favorite rooms in the house, I spend a lot of time in here.” “I bet.”

 

At one side of the game room was another door, which led to the dinning room. Mokuba led Jessica through the door, and showed her the dinning room. It was painted deep red, with a very light red carpet. There was a large table in the middle of the room, which looked like it could seat about 14 people comfortably. “This is our dinning room, we don't use this too much anymore.” “Huh, why not?” “Well Seto fired our old cook, and he refuses to hire another one, because he doesn't trust them. Our old cook tried to poison us, and Seto doesn't want a repeat of that incident. So now we just usually have take-out food. He eats in his office, and I usually eat in the living room, or game room.” “That sounds horrible. How could someone try to poison you guys? And take-out every night, that's not healthy for you two.” “Well that's why Seto is taking cooking class at school, even though I know he wont have the time or the will to quit working long enough to cook a meal.” “That's true we're going to have to fix that too.” “Alright next room is the kitchen.” Mokuba led Jessica through a door in the back of the dinning room, which led into the kitchen. The kitchen was painted sky blue, and had a white tile floor. It had a big silver refrigerator, and a giant stove, and oven. There were plenty of cabinets, and a really fancy coffee maker, that looked like it still had coffee in it from this morning. “Seto drink a lot of coffee?” Jessica questioned pointing to the coffee maker. “Yeah he's like addicted to it. He can drink up to 5 cups a day.” “5 CUPS, that's a lot. It must taste really good.” “Seto says he doesn't drink it for the taste, he needs it for energy.” “That's not always the best way to get energy.” “Yeah I know, another thing we need to fix. Seto needs a lot of fixing.” “That sounds so mean, you shouldn't talk that way about your older brother.” Jessica scolded Mokuba but than started giggling because she knew what Mokuba was saying was true; there were a lot of things Seto needed to change in his lifestyle. “Alright we're done with the first floor; well except for the bathroom, but its not that great. The bathrooms upstairs are much better. But lets go to the basement first.” “Kay.”

 

Jessica and Mokuba both returned to the game room, and took another door that led to a staircase that led to the basement. When they reached the bottom of the stairs they were in a room that looked much like a science research lab. “This is Seto's lab; it's where he makes and tests a lot of his inventions.” “Inventions, what kind of inventions.” “Duel monster, and gaming advancements mostly.” “Wow, Seto really is a genius.” “Yup my brother's the greatest.” Mokuba said proudly. “Where does that door lead too?” “ Wanna go see.” “Sure.” Jessica and Mokuba went over to the door Jessica was talking about, and opened it. It was a giant dueling arena. “Wow you guys have your own private dueling arena!” “Yup, this is where Seto practices dueling. I'll also use this once in a while to practice my own dueling skills.” “Wow if I'd a known you had one of these I would of brought my deck, and you and me could have had a match.” “We're defiantly going to have to do that sometime, it sounds fun. Alright on to the last room in the basement, the gym.” Mokuba led Jessica through a door and into a room filled with tons of exercise equipment. “That's a lot of equipment you guys have here. So this is how you guys keep so thin, and fit looking.” “Yeah, I guess.” Mokuba said as a little blush creped up his cheeks. “Well we're done with the basement, next comes the second floor.”

 

Mokuba, and Jessica returned to the first floor, and headed for the living room. Once there they went up a staircase that came to a long hallway over looking the living room below them. Once they got to the top, they went to one end of the hallway, and to the first door. They opened it to reveal a bedroom, that didn't look used, or as if it had been used in a long time. “This is the guestroom. Not that we have very many guests staying the night, but its here just in case.” “WOW! This is a `just in case' room, its way too nice to be one of those.” The room was painted rose red, with pure white carpet. There was a window on the opposite side of the room, which overlooked the front yard. There was also a closet, and a dresser to put clothes in. There was a nice queen-size bed, with soft red cotton sheets on it. Jessica darted over to the bed and just fell down on it. “This is so soft.” Jessica said as she buried her face in one of the red pillows.” “Wait until you see the bathroom.” “Wow and this is all a guestroom, that doesn't even get used much.” “Believe it or not Seto's room is much better than this one, it's bigger too.” “WHAT! Bigger, but this room is huge, and gorgeous.” “Just wait till you see Seto's room. Come on, you gotta check out the guest bathroom.” Jessica and Mokuba walked to a door in the room that led to the guest bathroom. When Mokuba opened it Jessica squealed. “Oh my gosh, its beautiful.” The walls were painted strawberry red, and the floor was made of white tiles. There was a huge shower, with plenty of room in it, and a huge mirror, with a big marble sink. There was a fancy looking toilet wit a red carpet seat cover. “You think this is great, wait till you see Seto's.” “Well what are we waiting for, lets go see Seto's room.” Mokuba and Jessica left the guest bathroom and the guestroom, and went across the hall to Seto's room, which was much bigger than the guestroom. “You're right this room looks much bigger, and better than the other one.” The room was painted deep blue, with soft pure white carpet. The bed in this room was a king-size, and had soft midnight blue cotton sheets, and midnight blue silk sheets underneath the cotton ones. There was a nice closet and dresser in there too. There was a window in there too overlooking the backyard. There was also a door that looked like it went outside. Jessica headed over to the door, but Mokuba stopped her. “Not yet, that's the balcony and you haven't seen the backyard yet.” “O, Ok, is it better than the front.” “Yes much.” “Really, I can't wait.” “You gotta check out Seto's bathroom now.” Mokuba said as he tugged on Jessica's shirt trying to pull her to Seto's bathroom. Once they made it, Jessica was speechless. The room was huge, and was painted ice blue, with a white tile floor, that had a couple soft white rugs over it. There was a large Jacuzzi in one corner, that had several fountains, and water jets in it. Every facet in the room was in the shape of a crystal dragon with blue eyes, like the fountain in the front yard. There was a shower in another corner, which looked like it was twice the shower of the guestroom. There was also a huge mirror, and large marble sink, and a fancy toilet with a dark blue carpet seat cover. “Wow.” Jessica finally managed to say. “Yeah Seto's got the best bed, and bathroom outta the three up here. My room is almost like the guestroom, just different colors.” “Well let's go see your room than, if I liked the guestroom, I'm sure I'll like your room.” Jessica, and Mokuba went to the room next to Seto's. The room was painted light red, and had a dark black carpet. There was a queen-size bed that had soft black cotton sheets on it, and of course this room also had a closet, and a dresser, and a window like all the other rooms. Mokuba's bathroom had all the same things as the guest bathroom, but was painted light yellow, and had a white tile floor. “Wow this room is a lot like the guestroom. They're both amazing looking. I really like the colors in this room though. I love all colors, but I really like black, and red.” “Yeah I like the colors too. Alright that's it for the house, last thing is the backyard.” “Really isn't there one more floor, this looked like a three story house?” “Good eye. Yeah there is a third floor, but I don't go up there. The only things up there are the Security room, and the Control room, which is run by our security staff.” “Staff?” “Yeah we, have a whole bunch of staff member that work for us at this house. Lets see we got a couple of maids, a couple of gardeners, and a bunch of workers who control the security, and make sure everything is running smoothly In the house” “Wow, how come we haven't run into any of them.” “Seto has given them strict orders to stay out of our way. They have been working for us for a while so they're very good at being hidden.” “I can tell.” “Well let's go on to the backyard, and finish up the tour.” “Kay.”

 

Mokuba and Jessica went back downstairs and went out the back door, to the backyard. There was a large bean-shaped pool, with a diving board, and a slide. Next to the pool was a large hot tub, but it wasn't an ordinary hot tub, it was like a large fountain, with tons of jets, and places where people could sit. There was also a large table, and grill near the pool. Past the pool was a large open space of lawn, and past that the ground declined down to a small little private beach where the ocean met the land. “Woh I do like it. You even have a private beach, that's amazing.” “Yup, and the pool is so much fun in the summer.” “I bet. Let me tell you something, I usually hate rich people, because they act better than everyone, and they usually act greedy even when they have more than enough money to survive off of, but you guys are so much different from your normal rich person. You're not a greedy, spoiled, little brat; you're a cute, sweet, giving kid.” Jessica said with a sweet smile on her face. Jessica's words hit Mokuba hard. Little did Jessica know many of the reasons why Mokuba got picked on at school was because he was rich, and all the kids hated him for it. Tears started to from in the little boy's lavender eyes. “Oh, did I say something wrong?” Mokuba shook his head and ran up to Jessica's legs (that's all he can reach) and hugged her tight. “Thank you!” was all Mokuba said. Jessica smiled and bent down and embraced the young Kaiba. “Is that why you get picked on at school, because you're rich?” Jessica questioned as she and Mokuba left their embrace. “Yeah…how did you know?” Mokuba said blinking back the tears from earlier. “Oh just a hunch. That's pretty low picking on you just because you're rich, now if you acted spoiled, and greedy I might understand, but your one of the sweetest kids I know. Why hasn't Seto done something about it?” “I haven't really talked to him about it.” Mokuba shyly said while looking down at the ground. “But if I do, Seto might do something horrible. He's very protective of me.” “Well if you can't talk to Seto, you know you can always come and talk to me now.” “Thanks.” “No problem, now when does Seto get home from work?” “5:30 if he's early, which he has been lately, why?” “Let's go back inside I have a plan.”

 

A/N: Sorry again for the lack of Seto, but he'll be in the next chapter! I would of made the chapter longer to include some Seto scenes but this seemed like the perfect spot to stop this chapter, so I did ^_^. Next chapter might be up in the next week or two.
