[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Chapter One - A Successful Plan


“Oh, where’s my tie?” Noah ran around his room trying to find it. Ren blinked as she saw him rummage through his drawers.

“Need some help?” Ren asked as she began looking.

“Yes, but right now I really need a tie.” Noah called out from his searching.

Noah had been living in the Narrow house for a month and was still not used to finding his lost things. But Ren thought nothing of it. After all, Noah had been in his own virtual world for many years and had only been in the real world for a while thanks to the sacrifice Ren made to give up her life and marry Noah so that he could become president of Narrow Tech.

“Here’s one.” Ren said as she held up a wrinkly old tie.

“No not that one Ren.” Noah said as he quickly turned back to his searching. “Don’t you know I’m going to be meeting with Mr. Foully in a few minutes, I can’t just go to a meeting without a good tie, he won’t take me seriously.”

“What’s wrong with this one?” Ren questioned. Noah looked up at her and smile as he shook his head.

“That..tie is a disgrace. It has wrinkles and it’s purple.” Noah complained.

“Hmm..Then what about this one?” Ren said as she held up a blue patterned tie.

“I guess that’ll be okay.” Noah said with a smile. He walked towards her to take the tie.

“Wait,” she said as she pulled the tie to herself. “I’ll iron it for you. My treat, it’ll be good luck for you.”

“Okay,” Noah said with a grin. “But I don’t see how ironing it will bring me good luck.”

After having the tie ironed, Noah walked to Narrow Tech, which was just a block away, to host his meeting with Frank Foully.

“Hello Mr. Foully,” Noah greeted with a smile. “Glad you could come.”

“It’s good to be here,” Frank said as he sat down in his chair at the long table. “I have many things I need to discuss with you and we only have an hour or so to discuss them so lets get to it shall we.”

Noah wondered why Brian wasn’t at the meeting. Brian was Frank’s son and next in line to run the company of his father. But why wasn’t he there? Noah figured he may just be out on some sort of errand or doing some sort of work back at his fathers company.

Brian was indeed doing work for the company, but this work involved a meeting with Seto once again.

“Brian, I don’t know why you insisted on having a meeting with me, but since it was Frank who was doing all the talking last time I’ll give you one last shot.” Seto leaned back in his chair as Brian spoke out his plan. “Heh, you sound just like the old man did.”

“Seto Kaiba, this is an opportunity for you to expand your business to new lengths, make it more powerful then it’s ever been.”

“By giving half my company to your’s!” Seto said aloud. “I don’t think so. Just get out so I won’t have to get angry. You’ve already upset me with your lies. I’ll hear no more nonsense from you!”

“But Mr. Kaiba-

“No! Now get out!” Seto yelled as he stood from his chair almost knocking his glass of water over. Brian walked over to Seto and looked at him with a glare. He was almost close enough to punch him in the face, but yet he didn’t. He loosened his grip he already had and gave a grin.

“You win this round Kaiba!” He said as he turned to the door. “But mark my words. You’ll regret not taking this course of action.” Seto only starred at him with an icy look in his eyes as Brian walked out of the meeting room.

Seto sat in his chair and leaned back. “What is was that guy?” He thought to himself. “Why is he so persistent in getting a hold of my company?”

Seto turned to his desk and looked down at the papers Brian had left for him of The Plan. He half laughed at the sight of them and leaned, once again, back in his chair. As he did he felt the throb of one of his necklaces hit his chest. He picked up his silver chained Blue-Eyes necklace Ren had given him when he had saved her from the three thugs in the parking lot of Inksos. The very same place where he had attempted to kiss her.

“How could I have been so stupid.” Thought Seto to himself. “She promised herself to Noah.”

He knew that, but why did it bother him that she had rejected him. Of course she hadn’t fully rejected him. She still liked him, but would never go back on her word to Noah.

Seto sighed aloud then took a drink of his water. “I need to focus on my company and stop thinking about her.” Seto said to himself. “It’s time to move on and I have much more–

Suddenly a sharp pain hit Seto from within his chest. He leaned forward in his chair and groaned.

“What was that?” Seto asked himself, but before he could make a logical guess another pain came from his chest, then another from his stomach. “What’s happening to me?” Seto was now on the floor trying to hold himself up as he barely stayed up in a crawling position. “I’ve never felt this kind of pain before...It’s like my chest is going to explode and my stomachs on fire.” Another pain went through his body. Seto couldn’t take anymore of this. He attempted to stand up from his position, but before he could make it half way everything grew dark and Seto blacked out.

“Ren! Is that you?” Said a weak and frightened voice on the telephone.

“Yes, is this Mokuba?” Ren asked, but was interrupt by Mokuba’s crying voice.

“Ren! You’ve gotta come quick.” Mokuba cried. “It’s Seto!”

After flying to Domino City, Ren made her way to the Kaiba Corp building where Mokuba had requested her presence.

“Is he alright?” Ren asked a lady at the front desk of Kaiba Corp. “Is Seto okay?”

“He’s still unconscious.” The lady said with a frown. “He’s been like that for three hours now.”

“What floor is he on?” Ren asked quickly.

“The fourth. He’ll be in the third room to the right.” Ren thanked her and ran to the elevator to go up four floors.

She arrived at a silent floor and looked around. Only two men sat on a bench near a room. The room Seto was probably in.

“Excuse me,” Ren began in a small voice. “Is Seto in this room?”

“Yes,” Said a man in a formal attire. “Mokuba’s been waiting for you for sometime now. Right this way.” He led Ren into a well lit room with a few flowers inside, doctors, nurses, and at the far end lay Seto on a bed.

“You came.” Mokuba said as he got up from his seat next to Seto’s bed. He ran to Ren with tears in his eyes. “I’m so glad you came. I don’t know what’s wrong with my brother.”

Mokuba hugged Ren and cried as he told her of what was happening.
“Mokie it’s okay.” Ren said as she stoked his hair lightly. Mokuba gasped at the name. No one except Seto had ever called him Mokie before. He looked up and Ren and tried to smile. Ren smiled at him and then looked at Seto where he lay on the bed. “I think your brother will be just fine.”

“How do you know?” Mokuba asked as he let go of his grasp on Ren.

“Because he’s a strong person.” Ren said with a smile as she walked up to his bedside. Her and Mokuba both looked upon him with hope in there eyes. “I know that whatever is making him like this he’ll get over.”

“I hope so.” Mokuba said weakly.

Ren looked at Seto as he lay in the bed. He was indeed unconscious, but as he lay there Ren could see a bit of emotion on his face and saw the struggle he was having with battling his sickness.

“Maybe your brother has a bad sickness or something.” Ren said to Mokuba. He looked down on the floor with sadness in his eyes. Ren knew she had said the wrong thing and attempted to correct it.

“Actually or tests show us that Mr. Kaiba was somehow poisoned by some unknown person.” Said a tall dark haired doctor.

“What!?” Ren and Mokuba both gasped.

“Is this some kind of joke?” Ren asked fearfully.

“Yeah, who’d do that to my brother?” Mokuba asked.

“Were not sure yet, but I assure you this is now joke.” The man finished then quietly walked back to his tests and calculations.

“Oh no.” Ren said with sadness in her eyes as she looked at Seto. “I can’t believe it. Who’d be so cruel as to do something as mean as this?”

“I don’t know, but I don’t like it.” Mokuba said angrily as he walked out of the room.

“Wait Mokuba where are you going.” Ren asked, but Mokuba didn’t stop.

“How could someone have done this to my brother?” Mokuba asked himself. “What kind of sick and twisted mind would do anything as evil as poison someone. Especially my brother.” Mokuba walked down the hall and entered the elevator. “Well I won’t stand for it. I’m going to find out who did this to Seto and make them pay.”

Ren sat at the side of Seto’s bed and tried to stay awake as she looked out the window where it was now dark. She had been there for two hours and it was getting late. But Ren felt as if she needed to stay. Not only for Mokuba’s sake, but for Seto’s as well. Maybe she could, somehow come up with a way to get him to wake up.

Ren jerked her head up as she tried to stay awake. The time on her watch said nine, but she was still so sleepy. So instead of just sitting there doing nothing she decided she’d try talking to Seto. She’d heard before that talking to unconscious people helps them so that they were able to get out of there deep slumber.

“Seto, Seto...” A faint and distant voice called out.

“Who’s there?” Seto asked as he looked around in an empty fogged room.

“Seto, do you remember me?” The voice said. It sound familiar, but who’s was it. It wasn’t Mokuba’s.

“I came here to see you. And I’m sorry about what happened to you.” The voice said softly.

“Who are you?” Seto asked.

“Seto..?” The voice echoed.

“Who are you?” Seto asked angrily. “Tell me!” He began searching all around.”

“I see you still have the necklace I gave you.” The voice echoed softly.

“What!? Who are you!? Where are you!?” Said Seto aloud.

Ren looked at Seto and gasped. He was whispering something.

“Who are you?” He said. “Where are you?”

“Seto, it’s me Ren!” Ren said aloud.

“Ren!” Seto looked through fog but was suddenly sucked into a white light.

“Gah!” Seto’s eyes shot open as he began to breath heavily. He looked at his side and saw Ren sitting beside him.

“Seto, your, your awake!” She exclaimed as she hugged him. He gave out a painful groan. “Oh I’m sorry.”

“What are you doing here?” He asked weakly. “And why am I in a bed ?”

“You don’t remember?” Ren looked at him as he shook his head no. “You were poisoned and went unconscious for a few hours.”

“Poisoned!” The words seemed to leak the life out of him as he lay back in his pillow. “Who would poison me?”

“I don’t know. Someone’s investigating it right now.” Ren tried to explain, but Seto wasn’t going to leave it at that. He pulled the sheets off of him and went for the door. Unfortunately he was only able to get so far before he fell to the floor. “Seto, what are you doing?!” Ren ran quickly to his aid.

“Leave me alone, if there’s going to be any investigating done I want to know about it.” Seto said as he pushed her hand away.

“Seto your seriously hurt, don’t you understand you could have been killed!”

Seto began trying to get up, but sank to the floor once again. “What do you care anyways?”

“Seto I..” She hesitated as she began helping him up. “I just don’t want you to get hurt. Someone’s after you and we need to find out who, but until then I suggest you get some rest until someone really does strike you and your company.”

“Watch it.” Seto said as he leaned against Ren. “I may be hurt, but I’m still able to take on anyone who challenges me.”

“I know that Seto, but it’s only for the best that you get some rest.” Ren said as she helped Seto to his bed. “And if it makes you feel any better I’ll watch over your company for you.”

“You?”

“Yeah, and I’ll have Noah help me as well.” Ren said with a smile. Seto couldn’t say another word as tiredness began to take over him and put him back to sleep once again. But this time Ren knew he’d wake up.
