I woke up to a loud thud. "What if something happened to her?!" a muffled voice shouted.

Who the hell is yelling this late at night?

I froze, my heart dropping to my stomach.

I quietly got out of bed and crawled underneath it. If it was my father, or someone he sent in his place, I couldn't let them get to me.

I heard another loud thud and a yell. Was my chair keeping the door shut?

Maybe I should look and see who it is? I need to pee.

I crawled out from under the bed and grabbed my bat. That's when I heard a window break.

Shit! Shit shit shit shit

I did a u-turn and crawled back under my bed. I laid on my stomach, my bat cradled in my arms, and stayed as still and quiet as possible. The curtains were shut, so my room was almost pitch black. Just the way I like it.

I heard a loud crash and a man cursing. Footsteps echoed across the house, followed by the sound of a chair being dragged. The front door opened, its familiar squeaky hinges giving me goosebumps.

I felt cold shivers go down my spine.

This is it. This is how I die. Under my bed, clutching an old wooden bat.

No.

I clutched the bat in determination.

If I die, it will be while fighting back.

Man I hope I don't piss myself.

Footsteps echoed down my hall. The invader entered my room and stopped in front of me.

"(y/n)?"

I took my chance, and stuck my bat out in front of the stranger. He went to take a step, tripped, and face planted into my wood flooring.

"Ow! What the hell?" the man cursed. I mentally high fived myself.

His face turned towards my direction, and a pair of blue eyes met mine.

"Kaiba??"

Kaiba slowly got up. "Mokuba," he shouted, shifting to a sitting position, "she's in here!"

"(y/n)!!" Mokuba ran into my room and stopped, "Where is she?"

I crawled out from under my bed, and sat next to Kaiba. "Hi, Mokuba. Sorry Kaiba, I thought you were my dad." I winced and touched his face. "Did I hurt you?"

The skin underneath my hand became hot. "No." Kaiba gently pushed my hand off.

Mokuba hugged me. "I was so worried! You didn't answer my calls all day, and Seto said you weren't at school!"

"What? Wait, what time is it?" I stood up and sat on my bed, grabbing my phone. It was dead.

I guess I forgot to plug it in last night.

"It's 5 pm. Were you sleeping this entire time?" Kaiba asked, sounding concerned.

Aw. I see where Mokuba got that concerned tone from. Wait.

"Did I just sleep for twenty four hours?? What??" I put my hand on my forehead.

Mokuba walked over to my window and opened the curtains. The light poured into my room, revealing the various piles of clothes on the floor. I hissed.

"Close the curtains! It's too bright!" I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the evil sun.

I turned away from the window and plugged my phone into it's charger. I felt my bed dip slightly, and I turned to glare at the source. I squinted, the light still blinding me. It was Kaiba, who had his hand over his mouth. He moved his hand, revealing a smile, and reached his arm out. His hand landed on my head, and my face flushed. He started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked, whacking his arm. My cheeks grew hotter.

"(y/n), look at your hair!" Mokuba started laughing as well.

Oh gods...

"Ok, you know what?" I stood up, walking away, "I need to pee. Close the curtains and stop looking at my messy room." I walked into my door frame. Mokuba snorted. Stumbling backwards, I proceeded to make my way to the bathroom, carefully this time.

It feels like my bladder is about to explode.

I peed and washed my hands. I looked up at the mirror, and saw my disheveled hair.

I look like a crazy witch.

I started laughing slightly, before walking out, not even bothering to try and fix it.

Kaiba and Mokuba were sitting in my living room, chatting. They quieted down when I entered and made my way to the kitchen.

"Are you guys hungry? I'm hungry." I opened my fridge, and saw nothing in it.

Oh yeah, I need to go shopping. And get another job. And move out.

I groaned, shutting the door and putting my face on the cool surface. Was it too much to ask to eat breakfast before having to deal with the aftermath of yesterday?

"(y/n), do you have a broom? Seto kind of broke your window earlier." I looked at Mokuba, wanting to die. My feelings must have been apparent on my face, because he immediately said, "We'll buy you a new one!"

"It's fine, Mokuba. I'm planning on moving out anyway." I grabbed a broom and walked over, sweeping a path to the main pile of glass. "Man, Se-" I coughed and cleared my parched throat, "Kaiba, you really did a number on this poor window." I sighed and kept sweeping.

"Sorry," he mumbled. I made a satisfying pile of glass shards, and walked back into the kitchen to grab a dust pan.

"(y/n), you're moving? To where?" Mokuba asked sadly, his expression falling.

"I don't know. Maybe somewhere closer to my school? I just can't live here anymore." I walked back to the pile of glass, and started collecting it into the pan. I poured the glass into the trash, sad that my perfect pile was now gone.

My dry throat made itself known once again, so I walked to the counter and began chugging a bottle of water.

Kaiba watched me, while Mokuba stared at him.

Wait a second, I slept for twenty four hours.

The fact that I had slept through an entire day finally clicked, and I gasped. That didn't go well with the water I was guzzling, causing me to choke. I started coughing, spitting water all over my counter.

Kaiba stared at me, disgusted. Once I regained the ability to breathe, I wiped the drool off my chin. I ran into my room and plugged my phone in.

I turned it on, and I saw that I had over a hundred and fifty notifications.

Oh boy.



When I finish this book, would you guys be interested in me continuing it by rewriting it in Seto/Mokuba's point of view?
