Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Sad Moments ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

AN: I'm back with Chapter 6. Finally, I can't believe it's taking me so long to get this out but then again I've had a small amount of writers block. I'd like to thank my 3 reviewers

 

Sparkling silver angel wings- Thanks for the wonderful review. Heh you're like me I have another fic that I've been attempting to write that I don't think I've updated in like months.. I'm just trying not to be this way with this fic -_-; I'm so pathetic.. and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well as you've enjoyed the past… um I think 5…. I don't remember...

 

SetoLover1- You wouldn't believe how much of a Linkin Park fan I actually am. And I'm pretty sure that I actually have read your story `Pieces of our Puzzle' And I love it. It's just awesome, the pairing thing I have yet to decide how this is even going to turn out.. I could try a at first Joey/Yugi pairing then at the end do a Seto/Joey pairing so there can be a sequel… but hm.. this could get tricky.. We're going to have to do something to discuss ideas.. yeah.. we'll just have to do that

 

Bum-Girl-Gravi- thanks for the review. I think better with the more reviews I get. I'm happy to think that people actually do like my writing. I've advanced quite a bit since my first story.. even though I only wrote 2 possibly 3 chapters -.-; I swear I'm pathetic. Thanks again.

(Heh… that's longer than I intended it to be.. well read and review.)

 

Chapter 6?

 

Seto wakes up the next morning thinking about the previous night and his talk with Mokuba. He looks down beside him and sees Mokuba still laying there. He sits up and slowly climbs out of bed, grabbing his cell phone he walks out of the room. Standing in the hall he begins to dial the number to Mokuba's school. As he waits for someone to answer the call he walks down the stairs towards the kitchen. Eventually someone answers the phone. He tells the lady that Mokuba has the flu and won't be attending school that day.

Hanging up the phone, he walks into the kitchen and starts going through the cupboards to try and find something for him and Mokuba to eat. The cook enters and tells Seto “not to worry about breakfast I will start it for you and the young master and call you when it's complete.” He nods walking out of the room grabbing his cell phone from off the kitchen counter and calls Domino High telling them that he will not be in school that day. They agree knowing he probably has business reasons as to why he can't make it.

As he hangs the phone up he sees Mokuba walking down the stairs rubbing the sleep out of his eyes slightly, yawning. “Good Morning Mokuba” Seto calls looking over to him making his way down the stairs. Mokuba looks over to Seto and smiles lightly “Good Morning big brother.” Seto looks down towards the ground hearing Mokuba sound so cheerful while he himself sounded so depressed. “Did you sleep well Mokuba?” Seto asks wondering how his brother could have possibly slept as peacefully as he did while he tossed and turned the whole night trying to get the flashbacks out of his mind. Mokuba responds “Yes I did big brother.”

Wishing for his life to have been normal growing up he knew was all but a fantasy now. Looking down at the carpet he hears the cook come in telling them that breakfast is ready. He stands and sees Mokuba running into the kitchen towards the food. Smiling slightly he follows behind him. Walking towards the table he sees Mokuba already sitting down. Sitting down in his respectable seat he sees the cook walk out with two steaming plates of a variety of breakfast foods.

Picking up his fork he freezes dropping the fork he quickly places his hand on his head quickly to try and subdue the flashback.

Flashback

Gozaboru walks into the kitchen followed by a young Seto. Seto has his cold glare on his face as he makes his way towards the table in the center of the room. Standing behind his chosen chair he looks down at the ground waiting for Gozaburo to tell him to take his seat. He had learned the consequences of disobeying him long ago. He hears Gozaburo's rough voice tell him to take his seat now. Pulling his chair back he sits down quickly. Waiting for their supper to arrive, he sits with his hands in his lap. Gozaburo looks around calling for the servants to bring the food in.

Seto looks up slightly seeing the servants bring the food, the plate being set in front of him he waits for Gozaburo to tell him that he's allowed to eat if he even is. Looking down at the food he continues to wait, his mouth watering slightly wishing he could eat the delicious looking food in front of him. Gozaburo grabs Seto's plate and takes off some of the food and places it back in front of him and says “Eat what's in front of you now boy and when you're done head up to your room and wait for me to get there.”

Seto nods slowly picking up his fork beginning to eat slowly. Finishing his meal he pushes his chair back slowly and walks up the stairs of the mansion and makes his way towards his room. Walking into his room he sits on his bed waiting for Gozaburo to walk in and give him whatever punishment he deserved for the day. He has yet to understand what he has done to deserver what he's got. Closing his eyes he sits there awaiting for Gozaburo to show up. He the snaps his eyes open looking at the door hearing it open.

He shakes slightly seeing his step-fathers enraged face. He walks over to Seto and raises his hand back-handing him across the face. It snaps Seto's head to the side. Seto slowly brings his neck back around to face Gozaburo. “Turn around boy and take your shirt off.” Seto reluctantly does so, takes his shirt of and turns around, “Place both your hands on the bed and kneels.” Seto closes his eyes and kneels placing his hands on the bed. Gozaburo takes his belt off from around his waist and rolls it up slightly. Seto gets ready for the blow that he knows is going to come hard upon his back. A loud crack resounds throughout Seto's room. He cringes slightly hearing the echo of the belt on his skin. His skin already begins to welt up from the blow.

In his mind he repeats who he is doing this for. `I can't let Mokuba go through this I have to do as he says.' Seto keeps repeating in his mind repetitively. Gozaburo leans close by Seto's ear and says “You scream then Mokuba goes through this.” The belt that doubles as a whip hits his back again. Seto grits his teeth trying to reduce the pain on his back. The whip keeps hitting his back. He remains on his knees his hands gritting the bed sheets tightly in his fists. Gozaburo smirks and pats Seto's back and walks out of the room. Seto turns his head slightly to make sure Gozaburo was actually gone before he collapses on the floor groaning in pain.

Standing slowly he climbs onto the bed and listens to make sure he isn't coming back. He places his hands on the bed and balls them into fists on his pillows and tries to make the pain subside

End Flashback

Mokuba stands beside Seto forgetting his food and shakes him lightly. The cook stands on the other side of Seto wondering what could possibly be the matter. “Seto… Seto please snap out of it you're scaring me big brother.” Mokuba pleads with him. Seto's face has a blank unreadable expression as Mokuba shakes him gently. Seto blinks slightly and looks down at Mokuba, he sees tears in his eyes and Seto says quietly “Mokuba what's the matter.” Mokuba's head snaps up seeing Seto looking down at him.

“Big brother you scared me what happened you weren't responding to anything.” Mokuba says sadly looking at him. “I'm alright Mokuba I just had a flashback, but it's ok now.” Seto says trying to reassure his baby brother. “Seto, I think you should go and lay down and get some more sleep you don't look so good.” Seto nods his head and pushes back out of his chair and calls to the cook “If anyone calls just take a message and I'll get back to them later.” The cook nods his head and takes a mental note of that.

Seto makes his way up the stairs towards his room. Opening the door he walks inside and collapses on the bed. `I'm so exhausted but I don't want to sleep cause I know that I'll have another flashback in my dreams. I can't have that.' As he says that his eyes slowly drift shut as he falls asleep.

Dreams

A young Mokuba sits in Seto's room drawing on paper that he brought in. Seto sits at his desk writing furiously on paper trying to get his work down quickly and flawlessly before his step-father walks in and accuses him of not using his time wisely with the company. He finishes his homework and looks over to Mokuba drawing “Mokie what are you drawing down there” He asks. Mokuba smiles at his brother and says “It's a surprise big brother you can't see it till I'm done.” Seto smiles slightly and then snaps his head up hearing the door open. His smile fades as he sees Gozaburo walk in. “Mokuba, why are you in here Seto is trying to do his work get out now and go do your childish things in your own room.”

Mokuba lowers his gaze and nods his head “Yes sir.” He walks out of the room and then runs toward his own crying slightly wishing Gozaburo would let him spend time with his big brother.

Seto looks at him and stands bowing slightly “Sir, I'm done with my homework so you can check it now if you'd like.” Gozaburo walks over and checks his homework and then throws it back in his face. “You did something wrong Seto, fix it now.” Seto nods and checks over his work quickly trying to catch the mistake he made. He sees what it was and erases it quickly and efficiently and hands the paper back to Gozaburo to finish checking. Gozaburo nods his head and hands it back to Seto. “Not bad it could have been better if you hadn't have made that idiotic mistake though.”

Seto lowers his head and replies, “Yes sir, I should have checked my work more carefully before I gave it to you to check I won't do it again I promise.” “You had better or else I'll have to punish you severely.” Gozaburo walks out of the room and Seto sighs slightly wondering why he was being so nice today. Then Gozaburo comes running back into the room and grabs Seto by his throat and places up against his wall. Seto grabs Gozaburo's hands and tries to pull them off his throat so he can breath. Gozaburo slaps Seto's face and he falls to the ground gasping for air.

“You're stupid for thinking I wouldn't find out what you did.” He kicks Seto square in the ribs. Seto hears a crack and knows that he broke one of his ribs. He falls on his face while Gozaburo continues to kick him in the ribs. He hears a few more cracks knowing more of his ribs have been broken. Gozaburo smiles at his work looking at his step-sons bloody heap on the floor. He walks out of the room swiftly leaving Seto there to heal.

End Dream

Seto sits up quickly in bed and places a hand over his eyes wishing that he could sleep one night without having these nightmares of all his punishments.
