Okay, guys, THIS IS NOT YAOI! This is a plain oh-my-gosh-we-are in-another-crazy-tournament story. This is from Yugi's POV, just so you people know.

I looked over at Kaiba.

So quiet, yet so deep. There is more to this young CEO that I must find out.

Kaiba shifted in his sleep. I just watched him. I sighed and heard Joey snore his head off. But Kaiba was silent.

Why was Kaiba so quiet? This I must find out.

Kaiba doesn't seem like he should be the quiet type. He's not cold hearted or mean, just…abused.

It's not his fault he's like this. It was Gozaburo. He did this. It's not Kaiba's fault.

It just isn't.

I watched as Mokuba walked into the room, eyes blurry from sleep. He had gone to the bathroom and was now back. He glanced at me and said, "Yugi…can't you sleep?"

I shook my head and whispered, "Shhh. No, I can't. But you can, so go to sleep."

Mokuba nodded and snuggled next to his silent brother and fell asleep.

Kaiba turned over and put his arm around his brother.

They have endless affection for each other, I thought to myself. Being hugged and cared for by Seto Kaiba must be the best feeling in the world.

I sighed and closed my eyes. But I couldn't sleep.

Kaiba sighed and mumbled something in his sleep. Mokuba said, "Whazzat, Seto?" In a very tired tone.

Kaiba's eyelids flickered. "Huh?" he mumbled.

Mokuba patted his brother's arm gently. "Nothing. You were just talking in your sleep."

Kaiba nodded and I heard him fall back asleep.

I rolled over onto my back. I had to try to figure Kaiba out before the tournament ended. Maybe we'd even be friends.

According to me, meeting Seto Kaiba was the best thing that ever happened to me. Maybe we did get off to a bad start, but that wouldn't happen again. We were close rivals. Maybe we'd been through too much to be rivals.

Maybe just friends.

Or maybe…best friends.
