Chapter 1

"I'm gonna be late, I have to get home if I don't want Seto to get angry because I'm late!" Mokuba ran through the hallway of his Middle School. Mokuba stopped and looked around. Niomi wasn't in site. Mokuba shrugged and ran off. 'Niomi can wait later, I have to get home.' Mokuba ran out of the school to the sidewalk.
Mokuba flipped on his backpack panting and running as fast as he could at the same time. Mokuba slowly came to a stop as he stared across the street. There was police cars everywhere around one abandon building. Mokuba then glanced at his watch. It was 6:40pm.
"Oh man!" Mokuba ran off with a sprint. Mokuba ran to the Kaiba Mansion, nonstop. Mokuba quietly opened the door to his home. Maybe if he was quiet, Seto wouldn't hear him. Mokuba tipped toed into the house and quietly closed the door. He laid his backpack down carefully and walked to the stairway. He was about to walk up the stairs when he heard his brother.
"A little late don't you think?" Mokuba turned to his brother. Mokuba stared up into his brother's icy blue eyes, he could sense frustration and a bit of anger too.
"I was at school, and I was running back home when I saw this building with lots of police cars around it, and then I lost track of time and ran all the way here. Sorry Big Brother" Mokuba said obediently. Seto put his arms crossed and looked down at his younger brother with discipline.
"Mokuba, you know how much I hate it when you side-track. It'll get you in trouble one day" Seto kneeled down in front of Mokuba so that they were now face to face, "I was really worried Mokuba, I thought someone had taken you... again." Mokuba smiled a bit knowing that Seto was mad only for his own safety.
"I'm sorry Seto, I didn't mean to have you worried. I'll try not to side-track anymore, I promise." Now Seto smiled and ruffled Mokuba's long, black hair. Seto got up and smiled down at Mokuba.
"Well, you just barely missed dinner. Hungry?" Mokuba shook his head and ran up the stairs.
"I'm gonna call Niomi!" Mokuba called back as he entered his room. He launched himself onto his bed and snatched his phone from his desk. Mokuba pressed the speed dial button and the phone was picked up.
"Hey! Is Niomi there?"
"No, I'm sorry Mokuba. Niomi has gone missing" Tea said in a faint voice. Mokuba gasped. Was this how it was going to end? Mokuba didn't even get a chance to confess his love to Niomi.
"What do you mean 'gone missing'?"
"You know, after school she was suppose to be here, and she wasn't. I searched the town for her except for a few places." Right then and there, Mokuba was jumping on her case.
"Like what few places?"
"Oh, like that abandon building on Fiji Street. With all those police cars around there. And the Health Station, the Community Service place, and the Hospital." Mokuba had already written them down.
"Thanks Tea, I won't let you, and Niomi, down."
"I hope you don't mean your going to try and find Niomi?"
"What if I am?"
"Mokuba, don't! I've already got the police. They can do the rest of the job. If anything were to happen to you... I don't even know what would happen." There was a long pause.
"The final line is, your not going to do a thing. Just go on with your regular life."
"But Niomi is my regular life!"
"Mokuba, chill, get some rest, and stay out of this. Goodbye." Tea hung up. Mokuba stared at the phone, then pressed the off button and threw it on the other side of the bed. How could anyone tell him not to do something. As far as he knew it, Niomi was always on his case when he was gone, now why couldn't he do the same?
It was final, Mokuba was going to find Niomi, no matter what it takes. By tomorrow he would've found answers to his questions. ~*~*~The Next Morning~*~*~
The sunlight shined on Mokuba's face. Mokuba got up and rubbed his eyes. The fresh air of Saturday was always refreshing. And always good to know that you had the whole weekend to save your friend.
Mokuba jumped out of bed. He was going to change when he noticed he had slept with his clothes on. Must've been because he was working on his plan late last night. Mokuba just jumped into his shoes and ran down the stairs. He approached the door, when he heard someone call out for him.
"Morning kid!" Mokuba ran to the kitchen where he found Seto making coffee for himself.
"Hey Seto, boy your up early" Mokuba said perkily, yet, fast. Seto turned to him.
"It's 11:00am, it's pretty late."
"I slept for that long?!"
"Yep. Were you up last night?"
"No, of course not, Big Brother. Today I have to go somewhere, so I'll catch you later!" Mokuba ran to the door. His hand rested on the knob. He had never lied to Seto before. It felt strange.
"Where are you going?" Seto asked just as he was about to open the door.
"I just wanted to have a average walk... by myself..."
"Well... ok. But if you want me to come with you..."
"No that's ok Seto, I'm sure your very busy. Well, see ya, go to go. Bye!" Mokuba ran out the door. There he went again. Lying to his only brother. But he knew it was for a good reason. Mokuba's first destination was the Community Service. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do you mean you can't let me in?!" the whole Community Service turned to the little boy.
"I'm sorry, but only community members can come in here."
"But my friend could be here."
"If she was here we would know. What's your friend's name?" the secretary took out a note book with tons of names on it. Mokuba looked down, a little embarrassed.
"Um... Niomi Gardener?" the secretary looked at the note book. After about a minute or so, she closed it and looked down at the boy.
"Sorry, no one under that name." The community still stared at Mokuba. He began to bluash.
"Well, if she isn't here, goodbye!" Mokuba ran out of the Community Service quickly. 'Ok. I'll check that off my list for places never to show your face in again.'
"Guess there's always the Hospital." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You have to be kidding me?!" the secretary shook her head.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kaiba, but there isn't anyone here under the name Niomi Gardener."
"Can't I at least check?"
"No, only visitors can come at visiting hours. Sorry." Mokuba crossed his arms in disappointment. He walked over to the bench in the Lobby. 'Where are you Niomi?' Mokuba thought to himself as he ran out of the Hospital. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Why are they doing this to me?' Mokuba asked himself as he read over, again, the sign that was on the Health door. It said that the Health Center was closed on weekends. Mokuba looked down. Suddenly a car flashed by him on the street. Mokuba looked up to see a car turning on Fiji Street.

'This could be my answer." Mokuba said running down Fiji Street. ************************************************************************ Whaooooooo! A beginning of my first ever fanfic murder case! More to come if ya review my wonderful people!
