IMPORTANT: Well I redid this chapter because I felt that I was taking Mokuba's disease too lightly. During the end of the chap is where I redid it.
Seto took one of his keys to his sports car, "Ne Niisama, will Cla-ri be alright?" Mokuba asked, clutching on to Seto's trench coat. Seto didn't answer, he just helped Mokuba on to the car.
"Mokuba…I don't know what's going on anymore…" That's all that Seto said before the engine started.
It was a quiet drive to the District, "Niisama, w-what if…what if…Tythorphis…is an incurable disease a-and—" "Mokuba, you're not going to die!!!" Seto practically yelled but then softened, "I promise you Mokuba, you're NOT going to die. Do you trust me?" Mokuba looked at Seto a bit confused, "Huh?"
Seto's hands still on the steering wheel, "Do you trust me? Do you believe I can keep that promise?" Mokuba paused for a moment then smiled, a small, sick smile, "Niisama, you should know…I'll always trust you." Seto almost twitched a smile.
When the Kaiba brothers reached the District, they saw Cla-ri waiting for them.
"Ugh, what took you two so long? I gave you the directions, did you get lost or something?" Cla-ri asked, a bit harshly but she was never really nice in the first place.
"Why would I get lost? But you're directions are hard to decipher, can you not tell left from right?" Seto said back, harshly. The fight was getting worse every second.
Mokuba tried to it, he wanted to stop it but he suddenly felt hot, "…Nii…sama…" Unfortunately, the yelling was deafening Mokuba's cry.
Mokuba started feeling lightheaded, his grip on Seto loosened.
"Mokuba!" cried both Cla-ri and Seto.
"Okay, um, let's hurry up and take him inside. Hachi will see him." Cla-ri said reassuringly.
Seto picked Mokuba up in his arms, and followed Cla-ri inside the S.H.
As they went in, a blue-haired boy at the age of 14 glomped Cla-ri while yelling, "Ri-chan!!"
"What the hell, Grue!?" Cla-ri tried to push the Grue off, "The kid I was telling you about needs to see Hachi, where is he?"
Grue tilted his head, "Wow, I never thought you were serious. Hachi's talking with Lin, I'll call him. You should keep Mokuba on the couch while I call Hachi."
Seto put Mokuba on the couch. Mokuba's breathing was hard and he was burning up, "…N-Ni…Niisama…" "Ah Mokuba, it's okay, don't talk." Seto said reassuringly.
Hachi came in, he was wearing a doctor's coat with a chibi bear and he had black goggles on his head.
Hachi came close to Mokuba and analyzed him, he gasped, "Holy...what happened to the poor child? I know he has Tythorphis but this is…I-I never knew Tythorphis could get this serious."
Seto bit his lip, "What can I do to heal this disease?" Hachi looked at Seto sadly, "It would be bad to lose Mokuba, well…there is one thing but I haven't tested it out yet and when I do…I'm afraid…I'm afraid it'll be too late."
Mokuba tried to get up, "S-So I might not live, huh?" he had problems saying it because of his condition.
Seto shushed Mokuba, "Don't talk like that, just close your eyes and rest." Seto said in a gentle tone.
Cla-ri smirked, "Well, what do you know? The brat has a heart."
Seto glared at her then looked at Hachi, "Look, if there's any way to save Mokuba then I'll do it."
Grue sensed the tension everywhere, "Hachi, just use Kaiba-kun as a test sample, if it works then Seto-kun will be able to save 'kuba and your invention will win a prize at that party you always go to every year. But they'll need help from me since I've studied the path to Jin-Yu's."
After hearing that Cla-ri yelled, "NO! There's no way Grue's going into that THING." Grue pouted, "But Seto-kun will need my help!"
Seto cleared his throat, "I don't need anyone's help. Just start the machine and I can save Mokuba myself."
Hachi sighed, "You stupid boy, you need Grue's help." Mokuba looked as if he was sleeping but he was just listening to the conversation.
Grue pouted, "Look Kaiba-kun, I'm coming with you whether you like it or not. If you want Mokuba to get better, then you need me."
Seto looked at Mokuba, if Grue goes, will it really help?
Cla-ri growled, "If Grue goes, then I go! End of discussion!!" Cla-ri went to the fridge and grabbed a Popsicle.
Seto snarled, "And when did you start making decisions?" Cla-ri snarled back, "Since Grue was involved."
BEEP BEEP INTRUDER ALERT!! INTRUDER ALERT!!BEEP BEEP
Hachi's eyes widened, "Seto, Cla-ri, Grue, you guys need to get in that portal now!"
Seto looked at Mokuba then back at Hachi, "What about Mokuba!? I can't leave him here!" Hachi picked Mokuba up, "No, he can't go. His disease will just hold you back. I know where he'll be safe!" Grue grabbed Seto arm, "Come on, this place isn't safe anymore."
Seto was tense, "I-I can't leave Mokuba!" Cla-ri growled, "Kaiba! If you want your brother to die, that's fine with me but if you don't I suggest you come with us and let him be with Hachi. He'll be safe with Hachi, trust me!"
Seto bit his lip, he hated parting with his brother but if it was for Mokuba's own good…
"I'm sorry Mokuba…" He whispered before he left with Cla-ri and Grue. Hachi watched them go inside the machine for a moment.
When they left, Mokuba woke up, "H-Hachi, where's Niisama going? I want to o with him." Mokuba said, rubbing his eyes.
Hachi's sweat dropped, 'The kid woke up' he thought but then sighed, "Mokuba, bad people are coming so we have to go."
Mokuba frowned, "I'm not stupid, you don't have to talk like that with me and why isn't Niisama coming with us?" Mokuba's eyes then widened, "He…he left me didn't he?"
Hachi frowned; he went up to a door and typed in some numbers. The door opened revealing a secret passage.
"HOLD IT!!" yelled this man in one of those suits that protect him from getting infected from something. Many people started chasing after him yelling, "GIVE US THE CHILD!!"
Hachi growled, "They're here." He went into the passage. As soon as he went the door closed and the group of people chasing them stopped.
Okay, the redo didn't end up exactly the way I wanted but the reason I wanted to redo it is because first of all, I was talking the disease too lightly and I can't always have the Kaiba brother together.
Second, I have a new idea for this story and Mokuba couldn't be in the portal…
Also, I'm sorry I couldn't have the 3rd chapter along with the redo of the 2nd chapter.
