Chapter 1
The Starting of the New
"Ok, I proclaim this trail now in session!" The judge called as we all sat down. I couldn't believe it; I couldn't believe it at all. One simple death, and now it could determine weather we were to go back to the orphanage or not. I never liked my stepfather, at all. But since he was dead, and I was under 18, I wasn't legal to live on by myself, not to mention with Mokuba.
I looked over to my side, my brother shivering in fear. I knew he didn't wanna go back, back to where it had all started; the orphanage. "And for my first act, I call the 2nd defendant to the stand." Danmit! They were calling my brother up first on purpose, to get the lead. That wasn't going to last long.
Mokuba stood up, shading his face with his long black bangs from the judge and sat at the side of the judge. The opposing lawyer stood and walked in front of Mokuba. I gritted my teeth as it had all began.
"Mr. Mokuba Kaiba, how long have you been living alone with your brother?" he asked. Mokuba looked up, fear rising in his eyes. "For about 3 years, sir" Mokuba said politely. The lawyer smiled, he wanted my brother to say that, but I was ready.
"Did your brother take care for all your needs?"
"Yes..." Mokuba said, hoping not to say the wrong thing and ruin it for the both of us. "And was your brother always present when you needed him the most?" Mokuba looked down nervously. Oh no, all those times I wasn't there. I wish I could just take it all back.
"Well..." Mokuba paused. Please say the right thing... "Most of the time..." Oh no... "Is that so? And why was he not there all the time?" the lawyer raised his eyebrow to the shivering boy. "Because he was too busy..." Mokuba began to fear his own words, as I did as well.
"Did your brother ever harm you in anyway?"
"Of course not!" Mokub yelled, glaring into the eyes of terror. I was just hoping this wouldn't be the wrong statement. "My brother would never, ever hurt me!" Mokuba yelled back. "No need for yelling" he said as he grinned. His despictable evil reminded me of Pegasus.
"And exactly how was your stepfather killed?" Oh no. The question, me and Mokuba feared the most, and they knew it. I sat there, retaining everything I had from screaming at them that I hadn't meant too.
"He was pushed out the window."
"Oh? And by who?" This was it, and I knew Mokuba wouldn't lie. "My brother" The crowd gasped as well as the jury. I was afraid now, and I could tell Mokuba was too. "That is all Mr. Mokuba Kaiba." Mokuba gulped and walked to his seat.
He moved closer to me, hoping it would be alright by my side instead of sitting in the seat. "Now I call Mr. Seto Kaiba to the stand." I stood, I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I ignored it and walked to the stand. "Mr. Seto Kaiba, is it true what your brother says about your stepfather?"
"Yes" All I could do was answer their questions. I heard another gasp, I ignored once again. "You know that that is 1st degree murder?"
"That man would've killed me if I hadn't killed him first" I said in a dark low voice, hoping it would intimidate the lawyer. "Oh? How so?"
"He used me as his geanie pig to get what he wanted."
"But he did adopt you and your brother."
"He only adopted me because I was smart, something you will never be." I could see his rage and frustration, I took it as a compliment. "Well, if that is so, why did he adopt your brother?"
"Because I wouldn't leave without him you buffoon." He glared and walked over to me, looked me straight in the eyes. "Maybe the only use for you is a geaunie pig, everyone can see your not even good at being a brother, much less winning this trail."
I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed him by the collar and stood to my feet. The crowd gasped, but at this point, rage took over. "Don't you DARE say that about me, or you will be the one pushed out the window!"
"Seto!" I heard my brother call as Mokuba got up and ran to me, "Put him down!" he cried. I turned to Mokuba. The anger vanquished, and I set him down. He dusted himself as if so important and glared at me. "No further questions" he said as he walked to his seat.
I did the same. The judge turned to the jury, "Jury, have you reached a verdict?" They all turned from each other, and to the judge. One man stood up, "Yes, we have sir. We find Seto Kaiba guilty of the 1st degree murder. Seto Kaiba shall be sent to jail for the next 10 years, and Mokuba Kaiba will be sent to the local Domino orphanage."
My eyes widened. No, it couldn't be, it wouldn't be. Mokuba stood up, ready to yell out to the jury, when a woman ran to the stand. "Wait a minute!" the crowd gasped. "Mr. Mokuba and Seto Kaiba are not guilty!" They all turned to the young woman, who appeared to be the only one on their side.
"Oh really? And who are you?" The lawyer said rising to his feet. "I am Dr. Nonoke Isuzi, and I have been researching the brain waves of young teens, and this seems to be one of their causes."
"The boy committed murder, there is nothing that can change that" he stated. "The boy lost both his parents for God's sake!" Nonoke shouted, pointing to Seto. Seto just sat there in shock. When all had seemed completely lost, this woman just pops up.
"Well, what is your statement?"
"Sir, this boy's stepfather was on trail 5 years ago for child abuse, and he was never arrested. As you can see, this boy was harmed by his stepfather, and even myself would've killed him if the chance!"
My eye's widened, were her efforts to save us going to succeed? "Well Dr. Isuzi, what do you propose?" the judge asked. "I ask of you to let me take the 2 Kaibas under my wing for a while. If my theory is wrong, you may do what you want with them, but it will require some testing."
The judge turned to the jury, "Well? What do you say?" The jury turned to the judge, "We approve." The judge wacked his mallet, "I now propose that Mr. Mokuba and Seto Kaiba will now be under the care of Miss Nonoke Isuzi, trail complete!" I couldn't believe it, everything I ever fought for, won over by one woman. Cool, a new story-. Anyway, so what is to be of Mokuba and Seto? And how will they do with having a mother, for the first time (their mother died kind of early for Seto) Can they live with a new life, and parent? PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
