Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Kaiba Brothers ❯ Noah and Seto ( Chapter 8 )

Seto pushed open the mansion door with a sigh, Noa still in his arms, but in sight now. Sekio walked in behind him and closed the door. They took off their shoes and walked into the main area of the house.

"Why're you back so soon?" Yuugi asked, looking out at them from the living room.

"Weren't you guys going over to the gameshop?" Seto asked softly.

Yami looked out over the head of his aibou. "Moku-kun asked if we wanted to play one of his new games. Did your meeting go well?"

"Canceled." Seto put Noa down. "If you'll excuse me..." He moved off towards his room.

"Seto-chan!" Noa ran after Seto and grabbed his arm. Seto stopped his head bowed.

Yami frowned. "Kaiba, what's wrong?" He asked, moving forward.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" Seto shouted suddenly before pulling away from Noa and fleeing up the stairs.

"He's in one of his moods again, isn't he?" Mokuba asked, walking out to join them. He glanced up at Sekio. "Oniisan brought you over?"

"Actually, I brought him and Noa over. Didn't trust him in his own car." Sekio nodded slightly.

Yami was watching Noa. "Noa-kun?" He asked softly, moving closer to Noa.

Noa turned around and buried his face in Yami's chest, crying softly. Everyone looked startled. Sekio walked over and knelt next to the ghost. "Noa, what is it?"

Noa shook his head sharply. He wasn't certain he could speak. "Is Seto having bad memories?" Yuugi asked softly, walking over with Mokuba. Noa nodded. "What about?" Yuugi pushed.

Noa shook his head again. Sekio sighed. "It's me, isn't it? Seto doesn't want me to know."

"Not just you." Noa whispered, finally composing himself enough to speak. "Everyone."

"I'll go talk to him." Mokuba decided and turned towards the stairs.

Noa's arm flew out and he caught Mokuba's arm. Their eyes met. "Moku-kun, don't."

"I know everything that happened! Why don't you want me up there?!" Mokuba cried, looking close to tears himself.

"You don't know everything, Moku-kun." Noa hissed.

"You're supposed to be protecting us, Noa!" Mokuba returned. "Why don't you go up there and help?!"

"I can't protect Seto-chan from him!" Noa hissed sharply. "No one can!"

/Noa...\ Seto's cry was faint through their link.

Noa's eyes widened and he let go of Mokuba. "Seto-chan..." He whispered before fleeing up the stairs.

Everyone looked at each other, surprised. Yami sighed. "It's almost as if Kaiba and Noa can speak to each other through their minds." He mumbled.

"I think they can." Sekio said softly. The other three looked at him in surprise. "Noa seems to know what's going on in Seto-san's mind." Sekio explained. "And they seem a little dazed if they look like they need to talk."

Yami pursed his lips. "Yeah..."

Mokuba nodded suddenly. "They were doing that this morning, while Noa was on the table! Oniisan looked like he could hear Noa saying something, but Noa wasn't moving his lips."

|Is that possible, Yami?| Yuugi asked, glancing up at Yami.

Yami frowned. ||I don't know how. Kaiba's a strange person, yes, but I don't think he has that ability in this lifetime. I don't even think he had it in Egypt.||

"I just thought of something..." Mokuba mumbled.

"What?" Yami looked at him carefully while the other two just glanced at him.

"Yesterday I found a little gold bug and gave it to oniisan. Next thing I knew, he'd met Noa." Mokuba mumbled. "He's been wearing the thing since..."

Yami frowned, trying to remember the necklace. He looked at Yuugi. ||Aibou?||

Yuugi sent him a mental picture of the necklace. He'd remembered it quite well. |I thought it was interesting.| Yuugi explained.

"It's a scarab." Yami realized.

"So?" Everyone looked at him. Obviously, this bug had some sort of special properties, or something.

"The scarab is one of the Egyptian symbols. It stands for birth and creation. It was extremely important and was placed on many of the walls in the pyramids. It's one of the symbols for the Field of Reeds." Yami explained. "Egyptians found these creatures important, although these days, people would rather kill them." Yami made a face.

"You sure know a lot about Egypt." Sekio mumbled.

"I should. I was Pharaoh once. Kaiba was my High Priest." Yami replied softly.

Sekio's eyes locked with Yami's. "How does he put up with you?" He sneered. "You beat him in Magic and Wizards and you claim to be higher in stature because you're a reincarnation?!"

"He's not." Everyone turned to see Seto standing about halfway down the stairs. "Yami's the Pharaoh. I'm the reincarnation." He pulled off his necklace and continued down. "Yami, Noa-chan says I should let you see this. There are hieroglyphs on the back."

Yami flipped the scarab over and scowled. "Now all I need to do is remember how to read all this..." He grumbled.

"Take your time. There's no rush." Seto turned. "I'm going back to my room..."

Yami grabbed his arm and led him into the living room, then sat him on the couch. "Kaiba, what is it that's bothering you so? Noa won't tell us." Seto shook his head visciously. Yami sighed and sat next to him on the couch. He looked back at the scarab. "Let's see..." He mumbled.

Yuugi grabbed Mokuba's hand and led him into the room. Yuugi curled up next to Yami, who put an arm around him, and Mokuba curled up next to Seto. Seto hugged his brother slightly as Sekio walked in and sat in one of the chairs. Yuugi poked Yami when he was silent for too long. "Well?" He asked.

Yami grimaced. "Alright!" He cleared his throat. " 'I'm making this to help me when my present is my past and I have either lost or won against him for the final time. I know this scarb will make it's way to me, for I made it with my own hands, placing into it my own blood and magic. My dream last night was disturbing, so I am making this, to be prepared.' " Yami handed Seto back the scarab silently, his lips pursed.

"What is wrong, Yami?" Yuugi asked as Seto placed the scarab back around his neck.

"You made that, Kaiba." Yami mumbled, turning to look at his rival. "You made that before our last duel. I remember now. You said something about a back-up plan..." He swallowed, hard. "I didn't believe you at the time."

Seto glanced down at the scarab. "Wonder what the dream was..." He mumbled.

"It won't take that much for you to remember, you know. I have a feeling that that thing will help jog your memory." Yami said with an indifferent shrug.

Seto nodded and leaned his head back. He closed his eyes and fought through his bad memories to the ones from Egypt. He flipped through them. There was a bright flash in his mind's eye before he fell into a dream...

~~^*Dream*^~~

'Seto?' High Priest Seto looked up at a boy with blue eyes, like his own, and blueish/green hair. 'Is it really you?'

Seto's eyes widened. 'Noah! B-but, you're dead!'

Noah nodded. 'Yes, I am. So shall you be.'

'Impossible!'

'Well, you're not yet, but you will be. Pharaoh will kill you.'

'He'll never win!' Seto hissed angrily.

'Yes, he will. He will and you'll die. You can't join me here, though.' Noah's face was sad.

Seto knelt before the boy. 'Why is that, my love?' He whispered, placing a hand on Noah's cheek.

Noah shook his head. 'You're supposed to become a reincarnation. You'll get another chance at life!'

Seto shook his head. 'Not without you. I've lost you once, Noah. I don't want to try living without you a second time!'

'You don't have a choice!'

'He might just...' A beautiful woman wearing a crown that had the sun between two horns appeared next to them.

Seto bowed, still on his knees. 'Beautiful Isis, how might I have a choice?' He asked, his gaze hopeful.

'Noah too, will be made a reincarnation, but you two will not meet in that life. You might make a gift, to give your reincarnation, to allow you to see Noah again.' Isis suggested.

'How will it get to my reincarnation?' Seto asked sadly.

'He will find it, High Priest Seto. Place your blood within it and he'll have no choice.' Isis pointed out.

'Beautiful and wise Isis, how can we ever thank you for your kindness?' Seto asked as Noah hugged him joyfully.

'Be true to one another.' Isis suggested before fading from sight.

Seto kissed Noah hard, then stood. 'I shall go now to make my gift. I promise we'll see each other in the future.'

Noah nodded. 'I'll love you, always.'

'And I you.' With that, darkness fell over them.

~~^*Dream's End^*~~

Seto's eyes flew open. They met the eyes of Noa, who was standing in front of him with a strange look on his face. //Your dream?\\ Noa asked. //That was us?\\

In response, Seto pulled Noa down into his lap and kissed him. Noa's eyes widened, but he quickly calmed and returned the kiss. The others in the room gaped at them, except Yami, who just grinned. "Yup. Noah and Seto." He chuckled.

Seto turned to glare at Yami, breathing hard. "You... you knew... all along." He accused through deep breaths.

Yami's crimson eyes sparkled. "True. I only remembered about Noa when I read that thing, though."

Seto let out a growl before Noa forced him into another kiss. //Ignore him.\\ Noa suggested.

/Mind if I take us upstairs?\ Seto returned lightly.

Noa chuckled. //Don't you dare drop me.\\ He warned.

/Never.\ Seto stood and left the room, Noa leaning against his chest.

Mokuba, Yuugi, and Sekio looked at Yami. "Okay, what was that about?" Sekio finally asked.

"Back in Egypt, before Seto was High Priest, he had a boyfriend named Noah. Noah was one of the Hebrews, so no one paid them any mind. Seto became the High Priest when Noah died." Yami explained.

Mokuba sighed. "Maybe Noa'll be what Seto needs..." He mumbled.

Yuugi smiled around Yami at the boy. "If he isn't, I don't know who will be!"

||And maybe he'll learn to open up a little more...|| Yami thought.

|Kep your fingers crossed.| Yuugi suggested.

||Hai.||
