Seto Kaiba was so relieved at the fact that he could finally settle down some. After Yami being put to rest and the millineum items being put back where they belonged there werent really anymore life threatening or end of the world situations that somehow no matter how hard he tried, ended up getting caught right in the middle of. Half his fault being his curiosity and the rest the geek squads fault talking of his "past" and "it being fate". It was hard enough him being only 17 and running a gigantic thriving corporation. So it was nice having some down time from near death experiences. And not having to listen to that mutt go into rage was like vacationing in the bahamas.
As he let his thoughts wander he began remembering things that for so long hed kept in the back of his mind. Little did anyone know that Seto Kaiba for so long had put a mental block on the person he truly was, the person he used to be, he corrected himself.
"I am Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corporations, I have a brother named Mokuba Kaiba i have no friends and wish it to stay that way. I bury myself in my interest in bussiness and it is all that im interested in and have ever been interested in. I was a born bussinesman at heart." As he scolded himself, repeating this over and over again one name came into his mind, one hed always hoped hed just forget, Bryant Mahavi. His real name, His true self. Thinking about it just made him sad, this irritated him because he thought hed mastered keeping that part of his personality locked away. He began to think back on his past, before Gozaburo, before his parents had died, before Mokuba was even born. He thought about when he was five, his true mother had decided itd be a wonderful idea to visit the fair in town. So his parents gathered all his siblings. The Oldest being Tommy Mahavi his blonde brother, who was 9 at the time. Second oldest was Christian Mahavi, his red headed sister. Then of course him The brown hair blue eyed little Seto, which actually at this point in his life his name was Bryant, the name his parents had given him at birth.
His parents were the most caring people, there family was loving not only of eachother but of everyone. They were thankful for everything they had and his mothers motto was always, "You can do anything you put your mind to, and no matter what you will have our support" And the motto of his father always jokingly added "Even if your a murderer, you better be the best damned murderer the worlds ever seen"
Seto smiled as he thought about his mother and father always saying that, and how much he loved them. Although they were filthy rich his mother being a model and his father being the lead singer of a very popular band as well as the CEO of a recording company who had made some of the most famous bands what they are today, they lived in an okay sized home, no mansion, They had regular cars. Even being rich enough to have everything they desired they managed to make life happy and normal for their children whom they cherished most.
But his smile faded quickly as he began to remember how much his parents changed. Within only months his father Had somehow gotten himself addicted to alcohol and both parents snorted coke like nobodies business. They moved young Bryant only 6 now, into the basement where he had nothing but concrete to sleep on. Bryant was heartbroken by this. All the other kids were treated like gods, why him? he wondered. He was forced to clean the house every morning and if he didnt do it right hed be beaten to a pulp, which within only months he learned to make himself numb to where he almost couldnt feel the lashings because of course to his parents the house was never cleaned right. His sister Christian would sneak him snickers bars and hot dogs when she could, and his brother Tommy brought him a blanket and pillow. "Dont forget to hide it when you wake up, if mom ever found out shed kill you, I love you brother, im sorry." he told Bryant when hed given the items to him. But the memory that singled itself out from all the others. The one hed kept hidden much deeper then any of the other ones, only one other person in the world knew of it and that was because it was her horrifying memory as well.
