Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Kaiba Brothers ❯ Planning Plots ( Chapter 13 )

"Seto!" A female voice called as Seto, Noa, Seth, Ryou, Yuugi, and Yami hurried in.

Seto turned to see a young, brown-haired girl standing in the waiting room. She looked about Mokuba's age. Seto sighed and relaxed a little. "Hirla-kun, konnichi wa." He mumbled softly.

Hirla blinked at the people behind Seto. "You have friends now." She said with the smallest of smiles.

"Oh!" Seto smiled sheepishly. "Hirla-kun, these are my friends, Bakura Ryou, and Mutou Yami and Yuugi. These other two are family, Noa and Seth." Seto said, pointing to each person. Then he looked to his friends. "Guys, this is Kitery Hirla. Remember the ice cream inccident..." Hirla punched Seto lightly as the others laughed. Seto frowned down at Hirla. "How is he?"

"Critical. They won't let me see him." Hirla looked up as a man came towards them. "Here's the doctor right now."

The man stopped in front of them. "I am Dr. Parke. Who might you be?" He had an annoyed look on his face.

"Kaiba Seto." Seto's voice was chilled. "I want to see my brother."

"I'm afraid you can't do that sir..." Dr. Parke said.

Seto let out a growl from deep in his throat and narrowed his eyes. Seth grabbed Seto's shoulders and forced his tempermental hikari to face him. "Seto, making a scene won't help anything. Get a hold on yourself." He hissed, his eyes searching the blue orbs before him.

"Onegai..." Noa said softly. Everyone looked at him. "Let Seto-chan see Moku-kun. Even if for just a second. Sometimes, the best medicine, is one's family and friends."

Seto bit his lip. "Noa-chan..."

Dr. Parke sighed. "Follow me, all of you." He gave them a warning look. "But I don't want any noise, am I understood?" The group gave him quick nods. He turned and led them from the waiting room, Seto picking up Noa on his way.

/Arigatou.../ Seto thought mentally.

Noa smiled. //Ai shiteru.//

/Un.../ Seto tightened his arms around Noa. /Ai shiteru yo./

"I assume Noa is the new boyfriend Moku was talking about earlier." Hirla said softly.

Yuugi gave her a surprised look. "Why do you say that?"

Hirla shrugged. "The way they act towards one another. I remember Seto the first time he was in love and I could kinda tell when he lost that boyfriend. I never knew who it was, but, when I asked Moku, he said to let it be, that that guy wasn't coming back. Seto's acting like he did before, but maybe more so."

Seth nodded. "Noa and Seto were meant for each other. They were given Isis's blessing, so I'm sure of it."

Hirla pursed her lips at the man. "You look like you're Seto's brother, but he doesn't have an older brother, does he?"

"It's a long story." Yami cut in. "Just as I am not Yuugi-chan's brother, yet we seem to be brothers. Ryou and Yami Bakura are the same way." Hirla gave Ryou a questioning look.

Ryou grinned. "Baku's tormenting Yugha."

"How so?" Noa asked from in front of them.

"Everytime Hoshi-sama looks away, he either sends her an insane look, or runs a finger across his throat. It's kinda entertaining. Baku says she's really pale." Ryou informed them.

Seto chuckled. "What goes around comes around. I'll have to deal with her later on my own."

"Not on your own." Seth whispered sharply, giving his hikari a stern look. Seto sighed.

"Here we are." Dr. Parke opened a door for them.

The group walked in, Ryou pausing for a second to speak to the doctor. "My brother and two more of our friends were planning on coming once school is over. If we're still back here, could you let them in?" He asked softly.

"What are their names?" Dr. Parke asked with a sigh.

"Bakura Yami is my brother. Jounouchi Kastsuya and Hiroto Honda are the other two." Ryou said with a small smile. He gave the man a bow. "Arigatou." Then he hurried into the room.

Seto had paled visibly once he saw Mokuba. Hooked up to all sorts of monitors, the boy had fresh wounds all over his body, not to mention scars that had been there for years. He remembered the time he'd been in a hospital and shivered, sitting quickly before he lost his balance. "Kami-sama..." He whispered painfully.

Noa hugged Seto tightly, knowing what was going through the other's mind. //It'll be okay.// Noa thought softly. In response, Seto hid his face in Noa's hair and sobbed quietly.

Seth sighed. "Ra..." He walked over and hugged Seto around his shoulders gently.

Hirla looked at the other three. "It's been a difficult couple of days." Yuugi whispered.

Hirla's eyes turned hard. "When I find the person behind this..."

"That's another person against Yugha." Ryou smiled slightly.

"Moku's my friend. I was looking for him, because it was time to get back to class, and I found him like this. My parents are working, but they know Seto, so they said I should wait here for him, then stay with him." Hirla shivered. "I didn't even know he had those scars until today."

"No one did." Seto glance up at her, his eyes red and his cheeks wet. "I think I'm the only one, other than Noa and Seth, who's ever seen them."

"How'd he get them?" Hirla asked.

"Gozaburo." Seto looked back down at his brother.

Hirla gasped. "No way..." She looked down at her friend. "How could he?"

"He used Mokuba to get to me." Seto admitted. "In the same way, he used me to get to Mokuba. It was a win-win situation, for him. Either I behaved, or I died. He didn't care." Seto closed his eyes. "In the end, it was him that died."

Hirla frowned at Seto. "There's this rumor..."

"That I killed my adopted father?" Seto looked back up at her, his eyes empty. Hirla nodded. "It's not a rumor."

"That's what I was afraid of." Hirla sighed.

They all found seats, Seth next to Seto and Noa, with Hirla in his lap, Yuugi in Yami's lap next to Seth, and Ryou on the other side of the bed, by himself. The room fell in to silence, broken only by the soft beep of the life support machine and the soft drip, drip from the IV.

~~^*sob*^~~

Yugha stood at the school gates, a spifly dressed man next to her. She pointed to Bakura when the yami walked out the building with Jyou and Honda. "It's that one, Oji." She said. "The one with the white hair. His name is Bakura Ryou."

The man snapped his fingers and two men came up behind him. "We'll deal with him and his little friends. Why don't you head on home?"

"Arigatou, Oji!" Yugha gave the man a quick kiss, then hurried away. She doubled back and walked back to the school quickly. She wanted to see the action.

"Bakura Ryou!" The man shouted.

Bakura's eyes flashed as he loked at the man. "What do you want?" He asked quietly.

"You've been threatening my niece. It's time to pay!" He pulled out a glittering knife.

Bakura grinned like a maniac. "Jounouchi-kun, Honda-kun, get out of here. I'll deal with him."

The two boys nodded, but then the man's other two men stepped up behind them. "Why don't you stay, boys?" The man in the front asked. "Join in, even."

Bakura nodded. "Watch out for weapons. I have a feeling this has to do with Yugha." He warned his hikari's two friends, then rushed at the man in the front, using the Ring to his advantage by having it boost his speed. He was fast before, but now he was faster than any other human he knew of. The sadistic grin on his face widening. This was his sort of game.

Yugha watched in horror as he uncle, the man in the middle, was put down in mere seconds by the shyest guy she knew of. The other two man were teamed up on, by their original opponents and then Bakura. "Kami-sama..." She whispered.

Bakura spotted Yugha and, with a sharp twist of his wrist, threw the knife he'd taken from the first man. It crashed into the stone next to Yugha's head. The girl's eyes widened in terror at the bent knife on the ground, then at the deep grove in the stone, and then at the crazy yami standing over twenty yards from her. "Next time, I won't miss." He growled

Yugha, her skin pale, fled the scene. Bakura turned to the other two and nodded. They left to go to the hospital.

~~^*Take that, bitch!!*^~~

"Bakura Yami?" Dr. Parke stopped the three new arrivals.

"That's me." Bakura nodded. "I assume my brother is still here?"

Dr. Parke nodded. "If you three will follow me?" He turned and led them down to the room.

When Bakura walked in, he was nearly mowed down by his hikari. "Ryou?!" He asked softly, somewhat surprised.

"Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" Ryou looked up at Bakura with wide eyes. There were tears threatening to fall down his face.

"Ra..." Bakura hugged Ryou gently. "I'm fine. I can take care of myself." He picked Ryou up with practiced ease and sat in Ryou's earlier chair, Ryou in his lap. He looked up and gave his audience a dark look. "You wanna keep your mouths, you'll not open them." He warned.

"I think you make a good couple." Yuugi informed the annoyed tomb robber.

"Whatever." Bakura grunted. If anyone but Yuugi had said that, he probably would have killed them. But Yuugi was a kind person, not to mention the hikari of the Pharaoh, and Bakura had actually learned to tolerate, and, possibly, like the littlest hikari. If Mokuba had said that, he'd probably let it slide as well. He looked down at the little boy and pursed his lips. The kid didn't deserve this.

/Of course he didn't.\ Ryou replied, reading his thoughts. Bakura made a face, but said nothing about the intrusion. Instead, he glanced up at the CEO he so disliked and felt his heart go out to him. Seto had tear-tracks on his face, red eyes, and seriously pale skin. As of the moment, he was sleeping, but, by the way he was tightly hugging Noa, he was not having pleasent dreams.

Jyou and Honda had taken a couple seats and were watching the group around them with worried eyes. Neither seemed surprised about the condition of the heartless president of Kaiba Corp. It was the scars on Mokuba's body that freaked them out. Jyou felt a shiver run up his spine as he recognize the marks as child abuse, and old. "How...did Moku-kun...get those?" He whispered after a moment of silence.

"Gozaburo..." Seto had, appearantly, played the same stunt he had the day before. He hadn't been as deeply alseep as they'd thought. He opened his eyes and glanced over at the two boys. "Jounouchi-kun, Honda, Bakura, this is Kitery Hirla. Hirla-kun, that's Bakura Jounouchi Katsuya, and Hiroto Honda." He said softly.

"Call me Jyou." Jyou suggested to Hirla before turning back to Seto. "Wasn't Gozaburo your adopted father?" Seto nodded quietly. "And he beat your brother?" Seto nodded again. "And you didn't do anything?!"

"How could he?" Noa asked sharply. "How can anyone do anything against a man who is over twice their size and stronger than them?" Noa narrowed his eyes. "And, not to mention, not at all afraid to kill either of his sons."

Jyou bit his lip. Others in the room stared at Noa in shock. He didn't seem like the type to have an outburt like that. Only Seto didn't seem shocked. "Jyou, I was going through the same thing." He whispered. "The only think I was able to do was to run away, and I did, twice. But, each time, Gozaburo used Mokuba to get me back. What you can see is the result of the second time." Seto's eyes flashed. "And Gozaburo's death."

Jyou gaped at the CEO. Honda shook his head. "Am I gathering that you killed your adopted father?" Honda asked after a long moment of silence.

"Hai." Seto glanced back at his brother sadly.

"Oniisan?" Mokuba moaned, opening his eyes.

"Ototo-chan!" Seto moved forward in his chair. Noa got off Seto's lap to get out of the way, not really minding. "How're you doing?"

"I hurt like hell." Mokuba mumbled sheepishly. Then he realized what he'd said. "Gomen..." Seto's didn't much appreciate it when his little brother cursed.

Seto chuckled. "Forget it."

"Moku-kun?" Mokuba looked over at Yami and smiled. "Can you recall what the people who beat you up looked like?"

"One had a knife and was dressed in a suit. The other two..." Mokuba frowned. "I couldn't see them very well."

"They've been dealt with." Bakura growled.

Seth nodded. "They were hired by Yugha."

Seto's eyes were cold and hard. "I don't think they were hired, Seth. From what Ryou told us, the man in the suit was her uncle."

"What is this, a family trade?" Jyou grumbled.

"He moved like a killer." Bakura affirmed. "He was an assassin for hire, I'm sure of it. Yugha just happened to be lucky that they were related."

"Lucky?" Noa growled. "That bitch is going down."

"Don't do anything stupid." Seth warned. "You're still on her hit list."

"Ooh, I'm scared." Noa rolled his eyes. "What's she gonna do, have another of her friends trip me again?"

Seto pulled out the Rod and unbarred one of the bladed edges. "I wanna see her try, just to give me another reason." He put his thumb to the blade and nodded when blood seeped from a shallow wound.

Seth sighed. "That's it." He grabbed the Rod with an annoyed expression as the others laughed and Seto put on his pouting face. "I'm not letting you near anymore weapons."

~She's going down.~ Seto informed his yami coldly.

~I know that.~ Seth replied. ~But I'm not letting you go after her alone. I don't think anyone will. You're a danger to your enemies, that may be so, but you're also a danger to yourself.~

"We'll have a chat with Yugha tomorrow." Seto decided allowed. "I happen to have her address."

Everyone in the room gave their sound of agreement. With that out of the way, they went on to less trivial matters, and Seth gave the Rod back to Seto.
