Chapter 5
Kaiba woke up the next morning at his normal time. Seeing how he didn’t get to bed until really late, Kaiba only had a few hours of sleep. He was use to going with very little or no sleep, so this was nothing new for him.
Once he was showered and dressed, he walked over to were Ryou was still in bed sleeping. Leaning down, Kaiba placed a kiss on Ryou’s check as he pushed some of the snow white hair out of said kitten’s face. He then looked down to were the stomach was, being hidden by the covers, as he smiled before stand up straight and walking out. He did have work.
As he walked out the door, Kaiba couldn’t help but smile. His kitten was giving him a child, something he had wanted for a while. Kaiba knew that raising a child would be a lot of work. He also knew of the joys it would bring as well. He had raised his brother.
At the thought of his baby brother, the smile dropped from Kaiba’s lips. Kaiba walked right over to the locked door of his baby brother’s room.
As Kaiba stood there flashbacks of his life with his brother flashed before his eyes.
There were the few of them with there real parents. Then when they died and the ones they lived with until there money ran out.
Then they were dropped off at the orphanage and the life they had there. It was hard but the two never left each other side and Kaiba always stood up for his brother. He never let anyone pick on Mokuba and let them get away with it.
Then the day they saw their soon to be step father on TV. Gozabora Kaiba.
Kaiba, well Seto at the time, knew that man would be their ticket out of the orphanage and give them a better life.
Kaiba had study the man when ever he could and when he saw that he liked chess, studied the man’s moves. Chess would be how they would get out of there.
Then the day came when Gozabora showed up and Kaiba put his plains into action. They were adopted that same day.
Then the lives with Gozabora flashed throw his eyes. That life was a living a hell. One that Kaiba knew he had to go throw to make things better for him and his brother.
When Gozabora had finally died, it gave them the freedom they needed with the security that the man’s many brought them.
Then Yugi showed up. His little advantage showed them a whole new life out there with a new bad guy every week that wanted to take over the world. Or wanted to kill one of them, normal the sprit that had lived in the puzzle around Yugi’s neck. Or someone talking about magic and a pasted life, something that Kaiba didn‘t really care about. All this was around a card game as well.
When those were over Kaiba figured that him and Mokuba would be able to finally have a normal life. That was until Mokuba got sick. Then Mokuba left him.
Kaiba was jerked from his memories by the feeling of arms around his waist and a very soft voice. “You need to say goodbye. You never have.”
“I already did. They day he left. The day he died.” Kaiba said. His voice holding the normal hard and coldness that normal scary people away or into listening to him.
“No you didn’t, Seto. You never truly said goodbye to him. Nor to the babies I lost.” Ryou said as he lightly laid his head on Kaiba’s back. “You need to,”
Ryou’s hold tightens when Kaiba didn’t move. Ryou then moved around so he was standing in front of Kaiba as he looked up at him.
“You know, sometimes, when I’m walking by, I can hear him in there. I can hear him laughing, playing around. I think I even heard him talking at one point. His still in there, Seto. His still waiting for you.”
Kaiba just wanted his kitten as he then reached up for one of the three things hanging around his neck. Two were lockets. One was his with Mokuba’s picture in it and the other was Mokuba’s with his picture in it. The other was the key to Mokuba’s door.
Ryou moved out of the way so Kaiba could unlock the door then go in. “I’ll call your secretary and let her know you won’t be in.” Ryou said as Kaiba nodded to this. When the door closed behind Kaiba he looked over at the other four. “It’s still early. We should get more sleep.” He said walking back to his room.
The other four new better then push an issue like this and did as Ryou said.
Kaiba just looked around the room with his normal cold eyes as he saw that things had been left the way Mokuba had left him. He had made sure that the maids didn’t touch anything in.
Kaiba saw that he bed was unmade, the sheet thrown across the bed and half of it lying on the floor. They were also covering who knows what under the bed. Kaiba could see at lest a few toys and some paper sticking out.
The floor it self was in need of a good vacuuming. It had dust and dirt all over it. The whole room was in need of a good dusting.
The closet was left half open with clothes hanging off hangers or had fallen to the floor. There were Mokuba’s coat and jackets a well in there. On the top self were some board games. They had started to yellow and the boxes looked ready to fall apart from not being played in a long time.
The dresses were half open with clothes sticking out as well. On top of them were action figures of different duel monsters among others. The mirror on one was caked with dust. So much one could not see one’s self very well. One held his video games and the systems for them. Some of the games were on the floor. Some open some closed.
The windows had been closed but the curtains left open. Mokuba did love sun light and loved looking out his window at the back yard.
There were posters on the walls, back of the doors and on the ceiling. They were of different players from didn’t spots or half necked girls and guys. It would seem his brother was bi-sexual, that or didn’t know yet.
Walking over to the bed Kaiba just sat down as he thought back to the day Mokuba died. He would remember how his brother had died. Could remember the pain and helplessness he felt. The anger and hurt. The wondering as to why his baby brother. Then emptiness when he lost him. He could remember all of these as if it had just happen yesterday.
~Flashback~
Mokuba was laying in a hospital bed whiter then the sheets and the room. He was also looking paler then he ever had. He had an IV in his left hand and breather tubs up his noise. He also had a heart monitor that was beeping with each heart beat.
Kaiba was sitting in the chair next to his baby brother’s bed holding on to his hand while his thumb was running over the back of Mokuba’s hand. Next to him was his new boyfriend, Ryou. The two had only been dating for six months when Mokuba became sick.
Mokuba had a rare childhood illness that the doctors couldn’t identify. It seems to have started out as a cold but became worse with each passing day. There were a few good days when Mokuba seem better, but they were far and few in between. It was slowly killing the young boy.
This was leaving Kaiba feeling anger and helpless. He was a multimillionaire and he couldn’t save his brother. His money and power was worthless at the moment.
He also was anger and hurt at Mokuba for getting sick. For dieing on him. Kaiba knew that it wasn’t Mokuba’s fault but at times he felt like he needed someone to place the blame on even if there wasn’t anyone to blame.
“Big brother?” came Mokuba’s weak voice that was followed by a coughing fit.
Kaiba stood up and helped his bother to seat up so that the coughing would stop. Once that did Kaiba lowered Mokuba back down as he just sat on the bed. “I’m here Mokie.” He said. Using a nick name he hadn’t called him since they were in the orphanage.
Mokuba smiled at his brother as he closed his eyes for a moment before opening them back. “My old nickname.” He said softly.
Kaiba just nodded to his as he reached up and pushed some of Mokuba’s hair out of his face. “Don’t talking Mokie. Save your energy to get better.” He said softly.
Mokuba just nodded as he lean into his brother’s touch before he started to cough again.
Kaiba helped his brother again and started to get worry when he didn’t stop right away.
Mokuba had brought his hands to his mouth then pulled them away to see something red and wet splatter into them. Looking up with fearful eyes Kaiba turned to Ryou. Ryou just shot out the door to get nurses and the doctor.
~end flashback~
Kaiba shook his head as he open up his eyes and let out a soft sigh. Only an hour later Mokuba’s heart stopped and he was announced dead.
“I should have been able to save you.” Kaiba said as he closed his eyes again.
When he open them up again he could see his baby brother standing in front of him smiling and could hear him laughing.
“Mokuba?” Kaiba asked not believing what he was seeing and hearing.
“Yep. It’s me big brother.” Mokuba said as he walked closer to his brother.
Mokuba looked to alive again but Kaiba knew he wasn’t. He had watched him die.
“You’re dead. You can’t be here.”
“I am. I am dead and I am here. I’m here to say goodbye.” Mokuba said before he looked sad. “You couldn’t save me Seto. It was my time to go. You did all you could but when death comes there is nothing we can do to stop him.”
“That’s a lie! I’m sure there was more I could have done. I could have gotten better doctors. Ones that knew what they were doing!” Kaiba said with a growl.
“You did and they did. It just was my time big brother.” Mokuba said softly as he watched him. “Just like its time to let me go.”
Kaiba just watched and would have said more but at that moment they both could hear what sounding like babies crying.
“Are they my….” Kaiba asked trailing off.
“Yes they are.”
“Can I see them?”
“No. Not yet anyways.” Mokuba said grinning.
Kaiba just let out a sigh before he sat there and watched his brother. “I guess your right.” He said not wanting to say it but knew it was time. “I guess this is goodbye.” he said wishing he could hold is brother one more time.
“For now. We’ll see each other again. When your time comes.” Mokuba said as he started to fade away.
Kaiba’s eyes snapped open as he looked around. He was still in Mokuba’s room but laying on his side.
When he closed his eyes he must have fallen a sleep and fell over onto his side. Thinking it was dream he just looked around and listens.
Shaking his head he started to get up before he could hear his brother laughter and felt happy. Kaiba then knew it was no dream and that his brother was now at peace.
By the time Kaiba came downstairs it was after noon and Ryou’s friends had left.
Walking into the living room Kaiba sat down next to his kitten as he nuzzled him some. “His at peace.” He said softly.
Ryou looked up at his love and smiled. He could tell that Kaiba was happier now as well. He could see that his eyes, that were normally hard and cold, weren’t so hard or cold. They were a bit softer and warmer. Yes his love was happier now.
