Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Tradgic Life of Seto Kaiba ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter 9

The next few days rolled around, and from dizziness to a fever, Seto had it all. By the time his birthday rolled around, poor Seto Could barely pull himself from bed.

"Wake up Nii-sama!" Mokuba cried, shaking Seto's shoulder "It's your birthday remember?"

Seto rolled over to look at his brother. "I'm still tried Mokie, let me sleep"

"But Seto--"

"Hey it's my birthday right? So shouldn't I be able to sleep in?" Seto said, trying to make a joke out of the situation.

"I guess" Mokuba said dully

Seto closed his eyes again, and wrapped his arms around his stomach. It hurt, but it wasn't the `I'm gonna throw up feeling' (well, okay, it was but not just that) it felt more, lonely, sad, kinda like a cramp, but not the kind after you ran five laps right after you ate.

"Are you O.K. Seto?" Kira asked as she bent down to look at Seto.

"My stomach hurts"

"Oh....this is horrible, right on your birthday! I guess we can celebrate your birthday when you get better, won't we?" Kira sighed

"I guess" Seto said, still with his eyes closed.

"You get some sleep, I'll see if we have anything to see if we can make you feel better."

Seto heard his aunt rustle threw the things in the cabinet; he opened his eyes and sat up in his bed just as his aunt walks into his room.

"Take these, they bring down the fever, and make your stomach feel better." Kira said, dropping a few pills in her nephew's hand

One by one, Seto took each of the pills, with a cup of water too. Then he curled back up under the covers, it was very cold in there apartment, because there heat had been cut off for a week now.

"I'm going out to get a few things for you Seto." She kissed the top of her nephew's head. "Don't worry Mokuba will be fine on his own, you just keep warm, its probably the fact we have no damn heat made you sick! And the stress, I'm sorry I had that talk with you Seto, you just try to get better, kay?"

Seto weakly nodded.

He heard the door open and close, and the apartment become quiet. Trying to get back to sleep, Seto rolled over to his side in his bed. It was cold in the house and the window had a crack near the bottom and never closed right.

"Seto…?" Came a little whisper

"Yeah Mokie" Seto said, opening his eyes.

"Are you okay?"

Seto nodded

"Seto…I'm cold, can I sleep with you?"

Seto sat up in bed, realizing how could it was out of bed….poor Mokuba.

"Let's not sleep here Mokie, its too cold"

So Seto Took a few blankets from the linen closet and wrapped the around himself and Mokuba, then they glided their feet across the cold floor to the living room.

They curled up on the couch together under there blankets.

"It's really cold for October isn't it, Mokie?"

"Yeah, when we lived with Papa it was never this cold `till Christmas, eh Nii-sama?"

Seto fell asleep on the couch with his arms around his brother, waking up to hear his aunt walk there the doors.

"Awwww….don't you look cute….well Seto, I got you some medicine, come hear to take."

Seto got up and walked to the kitchen, taking the purple liquid, then 2 small yellow pills.

"How do you feel?"

"Like shit"

"I'm only gonna let that get away because your sick, and it's your birthday. You are ten today, right?"

Seto nodded

"The big double digits! Heh, but you get back to sleep…I'm gonna bring you a pair of my socks, they'll keep your feet warm"

Seto went back to lying on the couch; he pulled his legs up to his chest. No thoughts went threw the boys mind that day, nothing but the feeling of sadness, but fear….but for what?
