The point of view of this story is going to change each chapter. Up first is Mokuba.

Mokuba will be a lot older, just as his brother, and Shizuka. I believe Mokuba and Kaiba are four years apart?

The ages will be as follows:

Kaiba -26

Mokuba -21

Shizuka - 24


Mokuba had to be careful with his wording.

His brother was private. It was nothing personal; he had always been like that.

Kaiba had never been a romantic, or an optimist, or even very cheerful. To get a compliment out of him was like pulling teeth. From a shark. When it was hungry and you were covered in blood. The last time he gave flowers to someone, it was sent to a funeral. The stark white card that came along with it, had read "Happy Father's day".

Kaiba was a closed book, with a lock and a timer.

Manage to crack it open, and it would slam close at any second.

But once you got in long enough, it was that classic "ahhh" moment. Everything fell into place, because Kaiba was always right.

Well most of the time. Mokuba wasn't sure anymore. It was a unusual this time. His actions were questionable, too questionable. Even to Mokuba, and that was weird.

Mokuba knew his brother, but this was uncharted territory.

Kaiba had had girls before, but not like this.

Not anything like this, she was kept up there like a hotel guest. But that was it; girls never came to the Kaiba mansion. Maybe their personal penthouses in the city, or the guest cottage if it was near enough. Not their home.

It worried Mokuba. His brother wasn't the easiest person, he could agree. Kaiba was certainly a different sort of person. He was determined. He was passionate. Driven.

Most people claimed to be these things as they sat on their couches, dreaming of a better life.

But Kaiba did it.

He saw something, and he did it. Anything Kaiba wanted,he got. He made it happen. Kaibacorp? Fortune? Rare cards? Hell, half the fucking city, Kaiba conquered it. The Kaiba brand was stamped everywhere. Kaibaland never became a fruitless, forgotten dream. Before Kaiba was even a Kaiba, grand scale amusements park's were being planned in his head.

Mokuba bit his lip.

It made him all the more nervous about Shizuka.
