Prologue

"Seto?"

"Yes?"

"How did Mom and Dad die?"

"I don't really want to talk about that right now, Mokuba"

"You always say that, I have a right to know"

"I'll tell you when your older"

"Seto! You can't keep this from me forever! I have a right to know!"

"…alright."

"Well?"

"They say that our house caught on fire"

"Yeah?"

"Mom was inside. When Dad came home and saw this, he ran in to try and save her. I never saw him again."

"Why did he do that?"

"Because he loved Mom very much."

"Oh… I'm sor-"

"You had a right to know. Now please leave me alone."

"Ok Nii-sama"

Chapter 1

It was late, very late. Seto took a moments glace to look at the clock. 12:06. He was early for being halfway done with his latest project for Kaiba corp., but still so much to do. He's probably be finished at 2 in the morning if he was lucky. As he began, once again, continuing typing, Mokuba peeked into the room. "Nii-sama… it's late. You should-"

"Mokuba, I've told you this before. I can handle staying up late, I've been doing it since I was 16. You on the other hand should be in bed." Mokuba frowned, Lately he had been attempting to get Seto to go to bed earlier, only to fail miserably and go back to bed. "I can't sleep knowing your up this many hours every night. It's not good for you, your still a teenager."

"Young adult, Mokuba. And with that come great responsibilities which, in time, you will come to understand. But till than, you are to do as I say and go to bed." Mokuba sighed. How did Seto have the most intelligent comeback every time he tried to show him that he was pushing himself too hard? Of course, them being 7 years apart didn't really help, he was just a kid, and Seto was an adult. They were complete opposites because of so many years being in between them, and had many different views on things, which made it hard for Seto to connect with Mokuba, or the other way around.

Giving up earlier than expecting, Mokuba closed the door and headed for his room. Mokuba walked to his bed and laid down, staring at the wall. If only his parents were alive, he knew Seto wouldn't be like this. If they were here, they would show Seto what was good for him and what wasn't, and Seto would believe them. Mokuba often believe that since he was so young, that was the reason for Seto's disbelief in his ideas. Mokuba decided not to think about it and fell asleep.

Seto was debating with himself weather to check up on Mokuba, or at least say goodnight to him. It wasn't usually like him to give up this early. But he supposed it was nothing, and continued working.

-Somewhere just outside of Domino-

A woman and a man were driving along together, totally exhausted. They had been driving since the dawn of yesterday morning to drive across the country. The woman yawned. "How close do you think we are?"

"No idea, it's too dark to tell" the man said, adjusting the car mirror. They soon pasted a sign that says "Welcome to Domino City". "We're finally here" the woman said with tired happiness, giving a sign of relief. "Now all we have to do is find this Kaiba corp. that Seto Kaiba is so famous for" the man said, looking at the framed picture in the front of the car of 2 small boys together. The woman simply nodded then turned to the window as they entered Domino City. 'I hope our travel was not in vain' the woman thought to herself as the sun began to rise over the horizon.

-The next morning-

Mokuba walked into the dining room where Seto sat, drinking his coffee and eating his sugar-less cereal, which Mokuba thought was really nasty since it was basically nothing, but Seto said it was good for him. "Morning Mokuba" Seto said, sort of mumbled actually, too into whatever article he was reading in the paper. "So what time did you go to bed anyway?" Mokuba said as he walked to the fridge, kind of in an angry way, but Seto hadn't noticed. "Hm… maybe around 4?"

"Seto, that was 3 hours ago! How do you expect to get through the day with only 3 hours of sleep?"

"I'll manage" he said plainly. Even when talking about getting 3 hours of sleep for the whole night, Seto hadn't looked up from his newspaper. Mokuba sighed, sometimes he felt really ignored, and he really hated it. As he grabbed a glass to pour a glass of orange juice for himself,(A/N: Kura's favorite-) he did the strangest thing, and hadn't even thought of doing it before he did it. He grabbed the glass and threw it onto the floor with all his might. Seto quickly looked up, "What happened?" He looked over and saw Mokuba just standing there, sort of panting as if he just got back from a 30 minute jog.

Seto quickly put down the newspaper and got up. "Mokuba" he ran over to him to see the situation. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

'Oh, now he cares' Mokuba thought as he snapped out of his train of thought and walked over to grab a dustpan. "I'm fine." Seto stared at him, Mokuba had never acted liked this before. "It just slipped out of my hand" Mokuba finished as he walked back over to the glass and began sweeping it up.

When he was finished, he dumped the pieces of glass into the trashcan and put the dustpan back under the sink, "I'm gonna head out."

"Where are you going?" Seto asked. "Ya know, just around town. Maybe I'll run into Yugi or something and hang out with him." Seto winced, how he hated Yugi and his friends with a passion, he tried not to show how displeased he was with Mokuba's idea. "Ok, but keep your cell phone on."

"'Kay" Mokuba said as he walked out the door and out onto the sidewalk. It was bright and sunny, very different since the past few days have been rainy and foggy. It was pretty depressing actually. Mokuba liked being out in the sun once again, and it had seemed like forever since he had seen Yugi or the others. Ever since summer break had started they had all been many different places on holiday seeing family or sightseeing somewhere out of the country.

As he walked along the sidewalk, he couldn't help how full and puffy looking the clouds as he walked along. And without noticing, ran right into a woman, knocking himself backwards. He fell on his back when he finally snapped back to reality. "Are you alright young-" she was cut off when she saw Mokuba's face. She stood there, staring at him. Mokuba, feeling a little awkward quickly got up and dusted himself off, "I;m fine, sorry for running into you. I was, uh, looking at something."

Behind the woman stood a very tall man. He looked very buff and well-built, he had a stern look on his face, just staring at Mokuba with this look of disgust. The woman finally shook her head and broke her long stare with Mokuba. "Sorry if I was a little rude there" she apologized, she said, giving a warm smile. "It's fine, really."

"I was wondering. Are you the little brother of Seto Kaiba?" Mokuba nodded, "Yes, My name is Mokuba."

"I know." Mokuba eyed her. It just came to Mokuba now that Seto was always telling him not to talk to strangers, and most of all not to tell them that he was Seto Kaiba's younger brothers, what with the danger of him being kidnapped again. "Do you know the way to Kaiba Corperation?" the man said, stepping up from behind the woman. "Uh, yeah… I mean, yes."

"Take us there" he demanded. "Uh… sure. Just follow me" Mokuba said. He knew he could be walking right into a trap, or just putting Seto in danger, but the way the man had looked at him intimidated Mokuba, he didn't want to see what the man would've done if he hadn't obeyed.
