Mokuba Runs

Hey, haven't written anything for this in ages and felt that it need an update... Try and not let this get to much out of my mind... I had this chapter written for a good chunk of the time and just needed altering and finishing, so that was me being lazy, lol. Anyways, here's the new chapter, hope you guys like : )

Chapter 11: Sibling Conversation Gone Bad

Mokuba went and sat in the centre of his temporary bed, while Seto gently sat himself on a nearby chair. "Should've known you would've been so stern headed and refused to leave when you got here." Mokuba hissed with annoyance.

"Mokuba..." Seto started in a gentle voice.

Mokuba held up his hand in protest, basically saying I'm not listening. "What you said and did was unforgivable... And now you've gotten your wish... You haven't got a sibling anymore to get in your way, just how you like it."

"That looks bad..." Motioning to the bruise that had developed on his younger siblings cheek. Trying to ignore the previous comment that had just been thrown at him.

"Well you should've known that it was going to be that bad, especially when your the one that did it." Mokuba hissed in reply.

For once Seto was stunned a little by Mokuba tone of voice but decided to ignore that comment. "I'm very sorry... Mokuba. I've been very worried about you, since you just ran out on me."

"Nothing more than you deserve." Mokuba replied coldly, still maintaining eye contact on his brother.

"Mokuba... Please..." Seto almost pleaded, holding out his hand. "Please accept my apology... Let me take you home and make it up to you..."

Mokuba slapped back the hand with clear frustration and shook his head in deep disagreement. "No, Seto. I'm not safe with you... Look what you did and said to me... Just what would happen if I went back, huh? You'd go back to ignoring me? Boss me around? Seto... I'm a real person... Not an object you can just use when you decide!" Mokuba tried to explain roughly, now letting out the odd tear.

"I want to make it better, Mokuba." Seto replied with insistence in his voice.

"You can't force me!" Mokuba replied in protest.

"I'm your guardian, Mokuba. What do you expect to be doing? Stay here forever?" Seto snapped back, unhappy with Mokuba putting up such a protest.

"Why does that concern you?" Mokuba hissed back.

"I'm your only family member, Mokuba! That's why! It means I'm supposed to be caring for you!" Seto continued to snap back.

"And look at what kind of 'family member' you are!" Mokuba snapped back, motioning to the big bruise on his cheek. "You do realise you could get into serious trouble for this! They'll take me away from you permanently!"

"And that's what you want?" Seto burst with frustration. "You want to be taken away from me permanently? Live with some random family!"

"Trust me... I'm questioning those questions to myself and trying to find the answer to that." Mokuba sneered, trying to get his point across.

"You would actually consider that!" Seto shouted at the top of his lungs in anger.

"Yes! I need time to decide!"

"You're crazy! You would actually rather live with some random family more than your own flesh and blood!" Seto continued to rant.

"And there was me thinking you wanted to sort things out."

"I did! But you're not even making it possible!"

"I am! I'm just stating my opinions... Not my fault you don't agree with them. I don't want to go with some random family... But I don't trust you either. I need time!"

"Well avoiding me isn't going to that!" Seto snapped back.

"Leave!" Mokuba demanded, he'd heard enough. He was hoping for a deep and settled conversation and that they would be able to sort something out but it was becoming clear that is wasn't going to happen. Like always... It was either Seto's way or no way... Well not this time, Mokuba wasn't going to allow it.

"No! You need to come home, now." Seto protested, standing up off the chair.

"Leave!" Mokuba repeated, still with the same stern face. "If you're not willing to discuss this then neither am I!"

"You're not staying here, Mokuba." Seto insisted with the same firm face. "I'm the adult, you're the child, I call the shots. If you won't leave willingly I'll have to take out action."

"Don't threaten me!"

"I'm not leaving you here with this, mutt!"

"You wouldn't have even known if it weren't for Yugi wanting Joey to do the right thing!"

"Yea, well you're my brother! Not his!" Seto burst with anger. "He has no right over either of us in any way! Leave now or the police will have to be involved. You don't want Joey to be in trouble do you?"

"Again with the threatening! If you force that then I'm going to have to tell them where this bruise from..." Mokuba sneered.

"You can't blackmail me!"

"Really? Feels like I am!" Mokuba continued to sneer. He wasn't being forced into doing anything he didn't want to do by Seto, if that meant blackmail then blackmail it was going to be.

"!" Mokuba looked up to see his brother towering over him and he was raising his hand, like he'd done before... He immediately pulled up his hands to defend his face and turned his face downwards. He waited for a minute and brought his hands down when he didn't feel an impact of any kind. "Joey?"

"I heard all the shouting, came up here to see what was happening." Joey explained and when Mokuba looked properly up he saw Joey holding onto Kaiba's wrist, stopping him from what he was going to do.

"I can't believe I was going to do that... Again..." Seto started with a stunned voice and face to match the horror.

"What's with you, Kaiba?" Joey ordered with anger in his voice.

"It's like... All I can see is... Red... Clouds my judgement..." Seto roughly explained still with a look of horror etched on his face.

"I can't believe you!" Mokuba burst with pure anger. "I wanted to talk things out with you! Give you a chance! And... You go and do this!"

"I think you should get out." Joey strongly suggested.

"But..." Seto started but didn't get very far.

"Leave!" Mokuba commanded, still in the same rage. "I think that just proves we need time apart..."

"... I'm ashamed of myself..." Seto stated and started to turn around.

"Take this with you!" Mokuba called and flung his brother locket at his elder sibling.

"...!" For once Seto was speechless and couldn't find the correct words.

"I think you should have it for now... At least until... Something is sorted..." Mokuba whispered with an upset voice.

Joey ushered Kaiba out of the room... How was Seto going to sort this?... He just kept on making things worse...
