“Talking”
~Thoughts~
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------
Kai stretched out her arms and her fingers curled with delight. A smooth, silky cloth skimmed across her legs as she shifted and suddenly stopped. Her cover wasn't smooth or silky, although it was comfortable. Her bed wasn't as hard as she remembered it to be and her pillow wasn't as plush as the one she was laying on. She sat up to see she was still in Seto's lounge room. Her clothes were changed once again, this time into lime green shorts and bluish purplish shirt with an old Nintendo controller on it. She carefully removed the cover and slipped off the couch. She rubbed her arms as the room chilled her body. She slipped on her socks before walking cautiously out the room. From what she remembered, she followed the hall until it led it her to the main lobby. Two walk ways and one stair case….where to go? Her hand absently touched the large oak railing of the stairs, the cold wood, sending shivers up her spine.
“This way I guess?” She mumbled and slowly climbed up the stairs, extending her head, to see over the top stairs. Once she had reached the top, she sighed at the sight of a longer hallway with a large bay window at the end of the hall, casting a bluish light on the other end of the hall. ~Won't hurt to explore~ She started down the hall, looking at each door that was decorated with different monsters from Yu-gi-oh cards.
“Talk about a fetish.” She reached almost halfway down the hall to see two large blue steal doors. Light slightly shinned on it and to her surprise it shimmered. She backed away to see, as the sun rose more, shinning more light into the hall, that the decorating embossed in the door was a Blue Eye's White Dragon. She stared, her mouth gapped open from the beauty of the doors. The dragon seemed to stare at her back, but with a steady glare, making her push up against the wall behind her.
“Whoa.” The wall behind her moved back and she fell backwards, dazed and confused. The same raven haired boy from the night before stared at her.
“You're the one on my door?” She quickly got up and crossed her arms.
“Yeah, my bad.” He gave a so-so look and walked out of his room.
“And clearly the one my clothes have been leant to.” Kai looked down at her wear and sighed.
“I'm sorry. You can get these back as so as I find out where Seto is and have him explain why I wasn't taken home.”
“So you're the hit and run type, huh?” The boy started to circle her.
“What do you mean?”
“You know the, come for the fun and then run?” Kai shook her head.
“OH, no! That's just….wrong! We were studying and I must have fell asleep while he was reading.” The boy scoffed.
“His voice is quite alluring.” Kai shook her head.
“Look, I didn't do anything with your brother. I would be one of the last people to do that. We're just together doing a project.” The boy stopped in front of her and looked her in the eye. He suddenly smiled brightly and hugged her.
“You're telling the TRUTH! I thought I would NEVER see that day that a girl came in here and leaven without messing around with my brother!” Kai chuckled nervously and then slightly backed away.
“Um…ok…that's nice.” He cheerfully took her hand and started leading her downstairs.
“So! What's you're name? I don't really care to get other girl's names. They're all sluts to me!”
“Kai, Kai Crenshaw.” He smiled.
“Well nice to meetcha, I'm Mokuba.” They went through on of the first walkways and Kai was surprised it was a very huge kitchen, full of expensive contraptions for cooking. Everything was stainless still, the counters were a cream porcelain and the room seemed to be furnished with plants.
“You hungry?” He asked, opening the fridge.
“I didn't know you could cook”
“I can't! But I can fix a mean bowl of cereal.” Kai smiled at the enthusiastic little boy as he hopped up on the counter and pulled down a box of Reese's Puff Cereal ®. He poured them into a adequate large bowls and lavishly poured milk into them. He handed her one and a silver spoon and they began munching.
“Wow! I haven't had this cereal in a while!”
“It's amazing! I don't know how I would live my life without it.” Mokuba said, taking another large spoon full.
“You'd be surprised.”
“Be surprised about what?” They both jumped and turned around to see Seto standing in the doorway. He leant against the doorpost in silky navy blue pajama pants and a black house coat that was open slightly, exposing.
“Surprised you're down here in your pajamas.” Seto looked down at his wear before shrugging and walking completely into the kitchen, grabbing a cup and putting on some coffee.
“I thought I should dress in the norm for Saturday.” Kai jumped up.
“Saturday? Really? I need to go.” Mokuba took the rest of her cereal and dumped it his own bowl.
“Need to go where at 8 in the morning?” Kai turned to him quickly.
“Church! Where are my clothes?!” Seto followed her amused through the halls back to his lounge room. Kai searched franticly around the room then turned back to him. “Wipe that grin off your FACE! This is very important! I need to get to church! It's enough already that I've been gone all day without my mother knowing where I was!”
“I called her last night after you fell asleep. She seemed rather angry with you so she said that maybe you sleeping here would be the best bet.” Kai started to object then stopped.
“I think it was better. Now where are my clothes?” Seto walked to a cabinet and pulled out her school uniform. She tried to snatch it away but he pulled back.
“What's going on with you and your mother?”
“It's none of your business.” She said stressfully and reached for it again.
“Something's going on. She's like the first mother of a teenager I've…well not quite met, but heard from that didn't care that her daughter was staying the night at a guy's house and then you are saying that it is best that you stay at my house, the house you ran out of like…4 days ago?” Kai snatched her clothes away from him and walked out, him following closely behind.
“Seto, it's not really any of your business.” She jiggled a random doorknob.
“Parent's old room.” She sighed and walked on. “Kai just tell me.” She rolled her eyes as she jiggled another doorknob. “Cleaning closet.” She opened the last door of the hall and was relieved to find it was a bathroom. “Kai.” She turned towards him sighing on last time.
“My dad died 11 years ago, I know that may seem like a long time to you, but it seems like just yesterday for me. My mother…is dating her boss and it was a big shock. It was the night I “ran” from your house. I just can't…I can't deal with that.” She closed the door and Seto put a hand to his chin, pondering his thoughts before walking off to his office. Kai emerged from the bathroom a short while later and was surprised to see Seto and Mokuba waiting at the door dressed up.
“What's going on?” Seto shrugged and Mokuba responded loudly.
“Since we have to take you all the way to church, we might as well go!” Kai blushed slightly as they moved out the way, letting her exit first. Church went smoothly besides Kai nervously rubbing her hands together and biting her lips. It got so bad that Seto had to grab her hand and hold them, making her blush even more. Her mother watched curiously from the opposite side of the room until the end of church and greeted them.
“So you must be the young man that called me last night?” Seto nodded and she smiled.
“I trust that since you called me like a responsible person, my daughter is returning to me clean?”
“She's just a study partner and becoming a friend.” Kai looked down shyly and her mother smiled contently.
“So you ready to go missy?” Kai shrugged.
“Yeah…sure.” Her mother nodded hesitantly before heading towards the door. Kai got up and a hand gripped her wrist tightly. Seto looked at her strangely before she sighed.
“Thank you Seto…for letting me stay…and everything.” She turned to Mokuba and smiled as his sad face.
“You have to leave already? But I barely just got to know you!” She nudged the side of his face gently with her first.
“Cheer up chum, I'll be back. I don't know about the spending the night thing, but I'll be back over. Thanks for letting me borrow your clothes.”
“No problem! I don't really have to worry about sterilizing them this time.” She chuckled and ruffled his hair with her free hand. Seto let go, cupping her hand close with his large, yet soft hand that overlapped her and grabbed Mokuba's hand.
“Let's go Mokuba, we have stuff to do.” Kai swallowed and opened her hand. She hadn't even felt him slip the small, folded, pieces of white parchment in her hand. She opened it as she walked towards the door where her mom conversed with other people.
Dear Kai,
I know how you feel about the whole parent thing. Mokuba and I have gone through the same thing. I don't really open up to people…in fact I don't and haven't felt this close to anyone in years. I am an orphan. Mokuba's and I parents died when I was 7 and Mokuba was 1. He doesn't remember much about our parents as I do, but he sure does remember her smell. I understand you're upset about your mother and this new man…but let it go. Your father wouldn't want your mom and you sitting around moping because of him. I'm sure he would want you to get out and be happy. And I'm pretty sure I can say you'll have a lot more piece in your life. Don't waste your life being angry and upset. Believe me; it makes a monster out of you.
Seto
Kai closed the letter back up and placed a hand on her chin.
“What is it sweetie?” Kai looked at her mom confused before shaking her head confused and sitting back smiling.
