NOTE: I wrote this alone with no help from Clarity, and after reading it she pointed out that it isn't that hot and needs to be rewritten differently. However I haven't been able to think of a way to revise it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own yugioh or any of its characters.

I do not and never will own Yugioh. Yu-Gi-Oh! is a popular game, Japanese anime, and manga franchise created by Kazuki Takahashi that mainly involves the card game called Duel Monsters (originally known as Magic & Wizards). The English version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga is released in the United States and Canada by VIZ Media in both the Shonen Jump magazine and in individual graphic novels.

Disclaimer: I own all these characters, Aiko's name is from my friend Heartbroken. Angelee (Angie) is my friend Cat's name. She helped to develop her character for the first story and helped with the story itself the first time around and kept me going. So she was put in the story.

Chapter 1

It was a cold night, it was summer but the rain they'd had earlier had cooled things off. Kaiba depressed was walking along the streets with no real destination in mind. He'd promised himself he'd spend more time with Mokuba and he's done his best but he still ends up disappointing the poor kid. Now he's trying to calm himself after their fight.

Flashback one hour before

"But Seto it's the biggest game of the year! I really want you to come!"

"Look Mokuba I'm really sorry but I have to go out of town that week."

"But Seto, you never come to any of my soccer games! Angie doesn't even hardly come, the only time she ever comes is when I have an away game. I know you have to work that's why I've never asked you to come to any of my games, before. I knew you wouldn't want to anyway so…"

"Your wrong Mokuba I'd love to come to one of your games kiddo. I promise I'll try to clear my schedule and make it to at least one, all right?"

"Don't bother, this is the biggest game of the year then after that there's only two more games, then the finals and that's it for the season. I looked over your schedule and as always have meetings or something else more important scheduled during each of my games."

"Look kiddo I promise I'll try to work one of my meetings around one of your games."

"Sure you will, I swear I love you to death but I honestly think that you seriously love your work more than me. Yeah the past month or so you've picked me up almost every day after school and spent time with me. When you did have to go to work you always made sure that you were home in time to tuck me in and would even read me a story! I love it but still when it comes to something that's important to me like my soccer games you suddenly never have time! So what am I suppose to think? I think you love me but not enough to come to one of my games. Sometimes I truly hate Kaiba Corp. and you too!" Mokuba said before turning and leaving.

'Sometimes I think I'd be better off with out him. I wish he was dead!' Mokuba thought to himself.

End Flashback

'Sometimes I wish I could just make him happy instead of disappointing him all the time. I know I should slow down and spend time with him and I do but sometimes it just never seems to be enough. Sometimes I think he'd be better off without me. I wish I was dead!'

[Suddenly a man appears out of nowhere wheedling a knife.

"Give me all your money and I might just let you live!"

'This is not my day!'

"Sorry pal but you'll have to find someone else to rob."

Then Kaiba kicked the man knocking the knife out of his hand. Then he grabbed his arm and flipped him to the ground. Kaiba smirked satisfied with himself but as soon as he turned around he suddenly found himself stuck with another knife in his stomach. It seems the man had a partner they robed Kaiba of his locket, white trench coat, his wallet and his cell phone.

'I have to find help, they, they stole my wallet when they find out who I am and where I live they may go there. I can't let that happen Mokuba, Mokuba he's home alone!' Kaiba thought struggling to his feet.

As he tried desperately to get to someplace for help he barley managed to stay on his feet as he made his way around the corner he fell on someone.

"Hey watch where you're going there, Mr. Moneybags."

Kaiba couldn't hold on to this person anymore he started to fall and collapsed on the floor.

"Joey, don't just stand there help him up! Can't you see he's hurt?"

It turned out that Kaiba had made it to Yugi's Place which turned out to be less than a block away from where he started from. Joey and Tea helped him inside, Yugi ran up to them seeing them come in.

"Guys what happed to Kaiba?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know Yug. But it's pretty bad." Joey said.

"I'll call 911." Tea said rushing off to call.

Yugi ran into the kitchen and came back to apply pressure to Kaiba's stab wound. Kaiba groggily scanned the room and barely made out Yugi as he heard Tea come back.

"Ok an ambulance is on its way." Tea said.

Kaiba tried to sit up, but Yugi pushed him back down.

"You shouldn't move you'll only make it worse!" Yugi said.

"Yeah you can go after the guys who did this to ya later!" Joey said joking.

Kaiba started coughing, but he had to say it. He grabbed Joey's shirt, "Look dog, I don't care about revenge at the moment I only care about MOKUBA'S safety!" Then he passed out!

About then Angie and Tristan walked in from the kitchen.

"What's going on in here?" Angie asked.

"Hey what's Kaiba doing here?" Tristan asked.

"He's been robbed and stabbed!" Joey said.

"Yeah but what do supposed he meant when he said that he didn't care about revenge at the moment he only cared about Mokuba's safety?" Yugi wondered

"Yeah with all them guards around what's the problem?" Tristan asked.

Angie gasped, everyone turned to look at her.

"What's wrong Ang?" Joey asked.

"When Kaiba's home he, he usually relaxes the guards which means the guard at the front gate is it! All the other guards and servants have the night off and have either gone home or are staying in the east wing of the mansion. Which effectively leaves Mokuba home alone! With no protection!"

"Huh! Then we have to get to him right away!" Yugi said.

About that time the ambulance arrived.

"Ok Angie you and Tea go with Kaiba to the hospital. Joey, Tristan and I will go help Mokuba!" Yugi said.

Meanwhile back at the mansion Mokuba was becoming increasingly worried about his brother.

"It's been over an hour since Seto left. Oh, God I didn't mean it when I said I wished he were dead! I was angry, I don't want Seto to leave me I need him! I really, really wish he'd come home!"

Back at the hospital Kaiba was being wheeled into surgery. Kaiba awoke to find himself laying on the floor in a room filled with doors and Aiko standing over him!

"Greetings Kaiba."

"What? Aiko what the hell! What's going on, what's happening?"

"What's happening is you!"

"Me? What the hells that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you've now at a critical stage in your life. You must now decide whether or not to live or to die!"

"Where are we?"

"We are at a cross roads. There are several different doors all of which reflect a different path in life. The last one when you open it your heart must know what you want to do."

"So what are these doors suppose to show me how much better life is without me?"

"Not exactly."

"Look, I already know that everyone would be better off without me, just show me how to get out of here."

"No this place show is more like several possible futures many different possible fates."

"So what dozens of different ways for me to die?"

"No actually you died from that stab wound you received. It's not your future that's an issue here."

"What! What do you mean?"

"Is there anything you would ever regret leaving if you died?"

"No!"

"You sure about that? Perhaps I should have said anyone you'd regret leaving behind?"

"You mean this has to do with Mokuba?"

"Yes, you said you felt that at times he'd be better off with out you. Here is your chance to see, each door represents a different twist of fate you might say. Each is a possible future, each reality is different or slightly different from the other, a simple phone call or simple chance encounter is all it takes for one scenario to differ from the other. This is to show you what could become of Mokuba without you. Each is different because the future has yet to be written. If you chose to die then one of these futures could happen. Which I cannot say, even if I knew for a fact which one it was I can't do anything to stop or prevent it. Only fate will decide which future is right for him. My being here is simply to show you what could be Mokuba's fate. I'm here to try to convince you that both life and Mokuba are worth living for. That is the only way to prevent any of these futures from happening. Perhaps we should get started so as you might better understand, open the first door."

Kaiba reluctantly opened the door only to be temporarily blinded by a bright light.

Mokuba A/N: I was asked when this was originally up, Why did Kaiba go to Yugi and his friends for help?

The answer is He didn't. He wasn't going to Yugi's. All he knew at that moment was that he was badly wounded and he knew he needed help. He had to find a way to find a way to protect Mokuba! He had just been trying to get to someplace anyplace he could to try to find help. He didn't even realize at first he was at Yugi's when he collapsed. He was delirious and not totally able to think clearly due to the blood loss and when he collapsed on Joey in front of Yugi's it wasn't till he was taken inside that he realized where he was. He was not going there intentionally. He was trying to get to help and help for Mokuba. Ok it's a weird coincidence that he just happened to land at Yugi's door but what can I tell you that's the way it worked.

Again this story needs to be revised and rewritten so any suggestions will be appreciated.
