Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Tradgic Life of Seto Kaiba ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7

`8:44 …..1….2….3….' in his mind, Seto Tanazaki counted the seconds on the clock, even though this clock wasn't actually correct.

"Nii-sama?"

"Yeah?"

"Nothing"

Seto looked down at his little brother. Mokuba was on the floor staring at his fingers, Seto catch Mokuba peeking at him every time Seto turned his head.

"Whats wrong?"

"…….how come you never play you're violin?" Mokuba blurted out

"What?! I do play my violin"

"Yeah, but that was a long time ago"

"No it wasn't it was at your birthday party" Seto said, wishing his brother would shut up

"Yeah, but that was MONTHS ago…can you play for me?" Mokuba said, his eyes sadden and his bangs covered his face, ahh shit, the damn puppy look.

"But, its late Mokie, if I play it now, I'll end up waking someone up, then Aunt Kira will get mad" Seto said, hoping his brother would fall for the lie.

"pplllleeeaaaasssse?"

"No"

"Please??"

"NO! I said no Mokuba!" Seto yelled

Tears welled up in Mokuba's eyes, the down his face.

"Mokie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, okay, I'll make you a deal, stop crying and I'll play for you?"

Mokuba grinned, hid tears stopped as he wiped the away "Okay!"

>>>>>

Seto sighed as he brought the ebony violin to his chin; a cold wind strikes both brothers as the stand on the balcony together. Seto, holding his stick in his hands, paused for a minute, closed his eyes, but couldn't play,

"Whats wrong Seto?"

"….nothing"

Seto forced himself to glide his stick across the cords of the violin, the music to him sound, different, making anything up as he went along, it sounded happy, fast at some points, slow at others, making the music sound depressing.

"Hey, you've got a real talent little boy"

Seto stopped playing to look up above him to see a man, maybe in his twenties, with short black hair and green eyes. "Thank you" Seto said as the man complimented hi.

"Do you take lessons?" The man asked

"No, my father taught me what I know" Seto replied

"Well your father must have been a talented man"

"Thank you, c'mon Mokie, let's go back inside"

>>>>

Closing his violin case, the nine year old couldn't help but to have that accomplished feeling in him, he loved to play his violin, it made him feel much, taking away the thoughts of his father, his mother, and all the things that had once happened to him and his brother.

(A/N: Seto's nine in this chappie)

He walked into the kitchen, the looked up at the clock. 9:06 probably not the right, but he knew it was late, the sky was still dark, and the stars and moon had come out. He pulled out the rest of the soda crackers, there were six left, and he gave them to Mokuba.

"You have to go to bed Mokuba" Seto said, watching his brother eat.

"I wanna wait till Auntie Kira comes home." Mokuba insisted

"But Mokuba--" Seto did bother to argue, if Mokuba was tried he'd say something.

The door burst open as Kira came in. her face was pale and her tears puffy and red.

"Okay b-boys…time for b-bed" she stuttered "Oh, and Seto, I need to talk to you,"

Seto immediately was scared, what did he do wrong? Why was his aunt crying? Did someone not like his playing and Kira got in trouble…but she wouldn't be crying over that… would she?

Seto brought Mokuba into the bathroom, as he washed his brother's hands and combed his hair, the taking a yellow tooth brush and tooth paste and streamed tooth paste on it, then passed it to Mokuba. Waiting until Mokuba spit out the rest of the stuff in his mouth, Seto leaned his head on the door, and tried to listen to what was happening outside. He couldn't hear much, but footsteps moving quickly.

"I'm done Seto!" Mokuba jeered.

Seto brought Mokuba into the room that the two brothers shared and helped change the four year old into his pajamas then put him in bed.

"I'll be right back Mokie, Aunt Kira wants to talk with me" Seto explained.

Closing the door behind him, Seto walked back out to the living room, his aunt was sitting on the couch so seto took the spot next to her.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Seto asked

"I lost my job"

"What?!"

"I lost it….and its worse enough that the bills are getting….." Kira's voice trailed off

"Getting what?"

"The bills are hard to ay, and if I can't get a job, you and Mokuba, you'll have…had…I'll have to give you guys up."

"What?! Give us up to where?" Seto gasped

"To an orphanage,"

"…….Ahh….that won't happen will it Aunt Kira??" Seto asked, looking for comfort

"I don't want it to happen, if it were up to me you two would stay with until you sad old men, but if I can't provide for you, what kind of person would I be?" Kira said, she threw her arms over Seto and hugged him fiercely.

Seto pushed away from the hug after some time and went to his room; he crawled into bed, forgetting even tot change out of his clothes and into his pajamas, but it did bother Seto at this point.

`Please, I don't want to go to an orphanage…..this is not fair'

`This is not fair'

the words strum in Seto Tanazaki's head all night long, they made a song with it and stop Seto from Sleeping. He knew something horrible would happen from the start and this was it.
