Behind All The Masks
Chapter 1
Seto leaned back in the seat of his limo and rested his hands on his laptop. It had been another busy day a Kaiba Corp and Seto had, as always, decided to work late that night. He laid his head back against the seat and let his mind wander for the first time that day. It didn't wander far though because all he thought about was his dueling deck. He pulled it out and shuffled through it. He found one of his blue eye white dragons and stared at it. The colour of the dragon's eyes matched his own perfectly. He put the deck away and looked forward again.
Why was the driver taking so long to get home?
He pressed the button on the panel next to him, which caused the window that sectioned him off from the driver to slide down. He suddenly became very cautious because in the front seat his driver was being held at gunpoint by some thug. He was being car jacked.
The thug looked back at him. Apparently he'd been unaware that there was a passenger. "What the hell?" The thug shouted.
"This doesn't seem very fair." Seto said keeping a cool and calm tone of voice. He then reached under the seat and pulled out a handgun from underneath. "There we go." He said and pointed the gun at the thug.
The thug began to panic. He turned the gun back to the driver's head. "Put the gun down or I'll shoot." The thug yelled.
Seto gave a half smile. "You think I care about that pathetic driver." He scoffed. "He's more than expendable."
This was far from the truth. He rather liked the man sitting behind the wheel but he figured this might scare the mugger away. It worked. "Stop the car!" The thug ordered. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and the man jumped out of the side door and ran.
The driver appeared to be very nervous. "Good work Allen." Seto said. "Don't think I'd have actually let him shoot you." The driver didn't seem all that convinced. "I'd actually like to thank you for remaining so calm about it." Seto added. "You'll be getting an extra bonus and a free two week vacation paid."
This seemed to make the driver feel better. "Thank you Mr. Kaiba." He said.
They arrived at the mansion and Seto stepped out and opened the front door. He barely got both of his feet in before Mokuba tackled him.
"Big brother!" Mokuba shouted as he tackled his brother.
"Hey Mokuba." Seto gave him a soft smile that he only saved for him. "How was your day?"
"It was great!" Mokuba shouted. "I've got a girlfriend!"
"A girlfriend?" Seto asked.
"Ya. She's so cool. Her name is Cindy and she has curly brown hair and." Mokuba noticed the odd look on his brother's face. "Seto? What's wrong?"
Seto replied. "Nothings wrong. I'm just hungry. Is there any dinner left?" Seto asked.
Mokuba nodded and dragged his brother into the kitchen. Something really was bothering Seto. Mokuba had a girlfriend? Was he too young for that? Even Seto didn't have a girlfriend. True he's had a couple dates in his life but they were all the same. Same predictable girls, some just thought he was cute, most wanted his money and not one of them had impressed him at all. He was kind of depressed that his little brother was having a more successful love life than he was. Seto was 20 now and doing very well in life but his love life on the other hand was pretty much a big blank.
Seto shook his head. Who needs a girlfriend? She would only get in the way of his work. His company was doing really well now and he couldn't let some girl interfere with that. He was fine, he was better than fine. Everything was perfect.
He shook his head and finally started to pay attention to his brother again. He was going on and on about this Cindy girl. He was barely taking a breath. She really must have been something. Mokuba set out a plate of reheated macaroni and cheese for Seto, which he ate as he listened to his brother intently.
Fifteen minutes later Mokuba went into the living room and crashed in front of the TV. Seto decided to join him for the movie. Mokuba picked out 'Beauty and the Beast'. He thought this was an odd choice. Even for Mokuba. He asked him why he picked it.
Mokuba sighed. "Belle looks like Cindy."
Seto laughed. His brother really was lovesick. They watched the movie and then both of them went to their rooms.
Seto stayed up and did some work on the computer in his room. He had his Internet messenger system on while he worked and it started to beep. Seto looked at the name on the screen. The screen name GrlMgnt was lit up on the screen. Seto grinned. "Joey." He said to himself.
It felt like ages since he'd been in high school but he did remember most of the people. Especially Joey. He used to hate him so much. But after all they'd been through in the last couple of years though the two of them had become good friends. Maybe even best friends. Well, in Seto's world, Joey was definitely up there on the scale of people he liked. He was still friends with the others too. But he never let it interfere with his work. Nothing interfered.
GrlMgnt started to send him messages:
GrlMgnt: How r u?
BEWD: Fine
GrlMgnt: Same old Kaiba. You are even abrupt over the Internet.
BEWD: What do you want Joey?
GrlMgnt: I'd like to know what you're doing tomorrow night.
BEWD: Working.
GrlMgnt: On a Saturday night? Come on Kaiba.
BEWD: What does it matter?
GrlMgnt: Because you're my friend. I can't stand to see one of my pals working on a Sat. night. It isn't right.
BEWD: I've done it before.
GrlMgnt: It's not healthy for a twenty year old man such as yourself to coop himself up.
BEWD: So what should I do about it then?
GrlMgnt: Come out clubbing with Tristan and me 2morrow.
BEWD: I don't club.
GrlMgnt: Come on. 1 club. Pleaz?
BEWD: No.
GrlMgnt: I'll get you a dueling date with Yami.
BEWD: No.
GrlMgnt: Come on. Be a pal.
BEWD: No.
GrlMgnt: Why not?
BEWD: I told you. Work.
GrlMgnt: You are so full of s#!t Kaiba. You're probably ahead in your work by like a week.
BEWD: So?
GrlMgnt: It isn't healthy.
BEWD: If I go will you leave me alone and let me get back to my work?
GrlMgnt: Sure.
BEWD: Fine. I'll go.
GrlMgnt: Great! We'll pick you up @ 7.
BEWD: Fine.
GrlMgnt: C U L8R!
BEWD: Bye.
Seto logged off and shut off the computer. He didn't feel like working anymore. He was kind of tired anyway. He changed out of his clothes and crawled into bed.
THE NEXT DAY
Seto woke up and went down stairs for breakfast. He found Mokuba already awake. He looked up at Seto. "Morning big brother."
"Good morning Mokuba. What are you up to today?" Seto asked.
Mokuba blushed a little. "I was going to ask you if Cindy could come over. I told her about our pool and she asked if she could come over and swim sometime so I was wondering if today was okay."
Seto sat down in front of his brother. Was this like a little date? Well, at least he could keep an eye on them this way.
"Okay Mokuba." Seto nodded.
Mokuba leapt up from his chair and hugged Seto from around the waist. "Oh thank you big brother! I'll tell her to be around about two okay?" He asked.
"Sure. In that case, I'm going to go for a run this morning." Seto told Mokuba. He headed out the door. "I'll be back in about and hour."
"K. Have fun big brother." Mokuba yelled after him.
Seto had changed into a jogging suit and a pair of runners and went to the park. He started to jog down one of the trails. Other runners ran past him as he ran past others. He began to feel the burning sensations in his muscles. He became bored with the jogging and stopped paying attention to his surroundings. He felt the morning's cool air against his face. He wasn't that fond of the morning. He liked it better at night. He thought the world was far more interesting at night. A whole other world comes alive at night and those of the morning lock themselves away till the sun rises again. All of them afraid of the nightlife. Seto wasn't afraid. He embraced it. He loved walking down the streets at night. He intimidated even most of the nighttime creatures. But the main reason he loved the night was because of the stars. He wasn't much of an out doors person but one thing he did love outside were the stars. When his parents had been around they would go to a cottage every summer and sit and watch the stars at night. I was one of his most cherished moments that he kept locked up deep inside.
Mokuba wasn't as big of a fan of the stars. He didn't have that connection. Mokuba would have been no older than 5, possibly six the last time they went to that cottage. Before the big accident. Seto felt himself shudder at the thought of it. This brought him back to reality. He became aware of the pounding in his head of the blood rushing through him. He'd been running at least fifteen minutes. He decided he could probably head home now.
He began to run down one of the streets toward the Kaiba Mansion and notice a young woman and two men sitting on the side of the street. The girl had a guitar that she was playing and had the case open in front of her. People were pitching coins and small bills into the case. The one man played along on a little bongo drum while the other shook a pair of shakers. "Paved paradise, put up a parking lot." The girl sang in a sultry voice. "A pink hotel a boutique and a swinging hot spot. Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Paved paradise, put up a parking lot."
As Seto got closer he began to walk he stopped for a moment to watch the little makeshift band. He studied the girl. She was lovely. She had intense green eyes and short chopped hair. She had spiked her jet-black hair out in every direction possible creating a bushy look to her. Her deep tan skin shone in the sunlight. Seto felt guilty for staring. He began to walk by and noticed the girl was looking at him. He stared back for a moment and then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a bill and tossed it into the guitar case. The girl gave him and smile and he continued on his way. "Paved paradise put up a parking lot."
