The Third Brother

Chapter 28: Seto's Plan

Seto's POV
When the bell rang to go home, I put my book in my backpack and walked out of the classroom, with Noah walking quickly behind me.

Did I even bother to wait for him?

Nope. I just continued walking.

I walked briskly towards KaibaCorp. I know Noah wanted me to stop and wait for him, but I didn't.

"Wait, Seto! You need to slow down! Do you have a lot of homework or something? Is that why you're walking so fast?! Or is it because of what you heard Yugi say?" I heard him say from behind me.

I ignored him and I didn't slow down.

He was right about the Yugi part, but about the homework part? No. I didn't get any today, and I don't think anyone else did. I mean, come on, it's the first day of school! Besides, when I do get any homework, I always complete it quickly with no breaks. It's no problem for me.

I just needed to think of something, and fast. I continued walking faster as Noah continued walking behind me. I could hear him panting.

"Just stop walking after me and take a few minutes to breathe already!" I thought.

But Noah and I were already heading towards KaibaCorp. We were getting close to it.

You might be wondering why Noah and I were walking to Kaiba Corporation instead of a house, aren't you?

Well, we practically live in KaibaCorp now. It's like our house, but at the same time it's not, if you know what I mean.

If you were wondering, we actually have a house, which is where we go if we're not going to KaibaCorp. But most of the time we're in KaibaCorp.

The Virtual World room is in KaibaCorp as well. But Noah acts strange around that room.

It's almost as if something's bothering him.

I noticed our limo away a bit from the school. I got in the back seat with Noah and he closed the door.

"Don't take us home. Take us t' KaibaCorp." I ordered.

"Yes sir, mister Kaiba."

The limo drove off. When we got to KaibaCorp, I got out of the limo and I closed the door behind me when I got out while Noah got out of the other side.

Noah walked quickly into KaibaCorp, while I kept thinking about my plan, possible outcomes, and solutions. As I was walking to my office, I noticed Noah had somehow already gotten to the Virtual World room.

It looked like he was moving his lips. Was he talking to himself?

"Noah? What is it, and who're you talking to?" I asked, walking up to him.

Noah noticed me and turned away from the door.

"N-Nothing! I was just.....uh......"

"Just give me an answer and I'll be on my way." I said.

"Maybe some other time." Noah said, and then quickly walked away from the room.

I just watched him run away as I stood there in confusion and I looked at the Virtual World room. I couldn't hear anything from inside.

He told me this has been happening to him since we were kids, but since it doesn't last long I've always brushed them off as hallucinations.

I stared at the door of the Virtual World room. I put my hand on the doorknob and twisted it, opening the door.

This room always seemed dark. I flipped on the lightswitch and began looking around, trying to find something that could make Noah behave the way he does around this room. The only thing that struck me as strange was a TV that was on the wall in the middle of the room. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's not.
