I don't own Yugioh or any of the characters in it.

This story takes place three years after the end of Battle City.

Chapter One-

Seto Kaiba was sitting back in his limo typing away on his laptop as the limo sped along the streets of Domino towards Kaiba Corp. A three week business trip to check on the progress of the American branches of Kaiba Corp had come to an end, and it was just in time for Mokuba's birthday. Sitting beside him was a well wrapped present for his little brother. A slight smile appeared on the CEO's face as he thought about the look on his brothers' face when he opened the present. Kaiba saved his work and shut his laptop as the limo slowly came to a stop. He opened his door with the present firmly tucked under his arm and stepped out into the glorious sunlight.

"Its good to be home," Kaiba said under his breath.

"Big brother!" Mokuba cried happily, bounding out the front door.

Kaiba hugged his brother briefly and then let him go.

"I'm glad to see you again Mokie," Kaiba said affectionately.

"I'm glad to see you too," Mokuba said cheerfully, "Is that for me?"

"It certainly is, but you're not getting it until tomorrow," Kaiba replied as he and Mokuba walked back into the house.

"Oh, Joey Wheeler called this morning," said Mokuba.

Kaiba stopped in his tracks and looked down at his brother.

"Did he say what he wanted?" asked Kaiba, surprised at hearing Joey's name for the first time in three years.

"No, but he sounded upset," Mokuba replied, "He wanted you to call him as soon as you came home."

Kaiba nodded and then smiled.

"I might as well see what the mutt wants after three years," he laughed.

"Here's the number," said Mokuba, handing his brother a piece of paper

Kaiba walked to his office and picked up the phone. He dialled the number on the piece of paper and waited as it began to ring.

"Hello," said Joey's voice a few seconds later.

"I heard you wanted to talk to me mutt," Kaiba said with a smirk.

"Yeah... I did," Joey replied quietly, seemingly unflustered by the remark, "I've got some bad news."

"Well, what is it?" asked Kaiba, incredibly curious.

"Its Yugi, "Joey said quietly, "He's dead."
