Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No? Well, I guess you can sleep on the plane. It's almost a 12-hour flight..." He said, trying to dodge Mokuba's question. Sure Seto had just gotten up -- but he had gone to bed not too long before it. He got off of the bed, an, grabbing a comb from the bedside table, began to comb his dusty fringes. {look! pretty language >B}

Noticing the clock on his bedside, he walked to get his suitcase, which, when wheeled out next to his brother's looked like Seto had underpacked for the trip. It was amusing, to say the least.

He called over a few servants and told them to take their bags to the car.

" What do you say to some breakfast, Mokuba?" He asked after, standing by the ajar door.

" We can get a bite to eat on the way to the airport. " He said as he returned the hug his brother gave him. " Does that sound like a plan to you?"

Letting out traces of a smile at the yawn Mokuba had let slip; Seto and his brother descended the winding staircase. Soon, they were at the door. That goddamn signature briefcase in one hand, his half-asleep brother's hand in the other. Seto could feel his brother grab hold of his green trenchcoat and hold fast to it, not unlike a comfort blanket. When they were in the towncar, Seto removd the coat and tucked Mokuba into his seat.

"Before you doze off again, can you tell me what you want Isono to get you for breakfast?"

{ Yes. Isono is driving their car, too. I swear that man is so awesome... xD}

((Yeah, I sort of disapeared for a while. Sorry about that guys. ^^; To answer your question on the first page, I was planning on just playing Yami, but if we don't find a Yuugi and come to a point where he's needed for the story to flow or whatever, then I'll play him. But I'd like to give other people to chance to be the character first.

And I'm confused. How many people are playing Seto right now o_O))

Yami watched his aibou rushing about the room, stuffing clothes haphazardly into his suitcase. As usual he had woken up late, and as usual it was only fifteen minutes before their plane departed and he still was getting ready to go. Yuugi would never consider preparing himself for a trip ahead of time.

But this was one trip that Yami would have appreciated Yuugi cutting it a little less close. Being late for school or other things was trivial to Yami, but being late for a trip on which a lot could be at stake, well, Yami did not like that idea.

Here, aibou, I'll take care of the rest, you just relax. Not waiting for Yuugi's reply, Yami took control of the body. He tidied up the suitcase a bit, and with a little help from the shadows actually managed to shut the overstuffed thing. And he was out the door so fast Jii-chan barely had time to say good-bye.

A quick check of Yuugi's watch revealed five minutes remained to get to the airport. Good thing they lived close by.

[[ *ded from cute* That's such an adorable image. XD ]]

Mokuba nodded at Seto's explanation and stretched. He sat up and followed his brother out of the car, stumbling just a little as he wasn't completely a hundred-percent awake yet.

Mokuba hurriedly grabbed onto the end of Seto's coat, to make sure he didn't lose him and to make sure he didn't stumble again. "Still kinda sleepy, yeah."

{Red Hot Sho! 3nodding xD don't worry. I'm on vacation too.}

"Well," He turned to Mokuba and picked the young child up. " You should be glad that we're almost to the waiting gate."

Upon reaching the gate, Seto laid Mokuba down in two of the chairs. It was a little miracle that such a nice airport had a broken hand rest to let the small boy lay down on two adjacent chairs. Taking a seat next to his sleeping brother once again, Seto watched the news on the overhanging television sets. Trying to pass the time, he actually began to pay attentetion to the international reports.

Aparently, there was a hostage situation at a British hospital. It was disturbing, seeing that it was only a few blocks away from the hotel where Seto and Mokuba would be staying. The strange thing about the hostage situation, however, is what the hostage-takers, said to be two women and a man in their 20s, were requesting in exchange for the freedom of the prisoners. They had wanted various drug supplements -- none of which were addictive materials, or even things that could be sold on the black market. The situation was unfolding live as Seto watched.

He wondered when Isono would return with the food.

Seto was starting to lose interest in the program, seeing as the situation was dying down. He was about to look for something else to occupy his time when the news reporter announced that someone was sneaking into the building past the police. Seto's eyes snapped back to the screen -- he hadn't a clue as to why he cared so much.

Gunshots had just gone off in the building. Seto coud hear the screaming from the television and had inwardly wished that they could have let their terror out quieter. The last thing he needed was to have Mokuba wake to the sound of screaming. However the shouts on the television were brief.

......................................
" NO! Sephora!"

The brunette girl shouted as the tall man fell to the ground. His long, green-tipped silver locks continued to fly for a moment; longer after the rest of his body had hit the ground.

"You! Diego! You b*****d! He was coming to help us!"

She turned to him, drawing out her dagger in the process. The white etchings on the blade flashed out at the stranger called Diego.

"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to bring a knife to a gunfight, Rachel?" He tsked her and waved a finger in disdain.

"Sarah should have taught you better."
........................................

He turned to Mokuba to see if he had been woken up by the sound. Seeing that he had not, Seto turned his eyes back to the screen. However, before his gaze landed there, it fell upon the spiked hair of who but Yami no Yuugi watching as well.

..........................................
Diego flashed the girl called Rachel a badge from inside his black vest. It was hard, seeing as he was pinned to the ground by two of the same daggers flashed at him before.

"It's all right, Rachel. I'm a cop. Ther's no need for a girl like you to lose your temper."

She leered over him. " Let me see your badge." He gave it willingly.

"You're not a cop." she spat, "You're an Undergrounder, too."

Diego mirrored Rachel's anger.

"Three years, if you must know."

She took the daggers and plunged them into Diego's arm and shoulder.

"And how nice your red roses shine now!"

Turning to the other girl, who had been holding the hostages as the scene had unfolded, she pulled out the daggers and tossed one to her.

"D, take your knife back. Let's go. We can get the amophium later."
.....................................................

So Yami was going to Britain as well. Damn. Hopefully, he wasn't staying at the same hotel. Or sitting near him on the plane. ('It's not like the boy could have gotten first class seats anyway...' thought the CEO.) He finially broke away from the television as the reporter was announceing the releasing of the hostages, and that the only trace of the captors was two white roses on the body of the dead young man with green-tipped silver hair. Diego, too lay bloodied on the ground.

His blood scattered about like the petals of blood red roses.

{xB yes, Seto is currently looking at Temtem. oh. I almost forgot!}

Isono was still looking to find some food.
