I do not own YUGIOH!

"I hate you" those were the last words Mokuba Kaiba had said to his older brother before he himself had left home. Mokuba had been gone just under two years now and the rage had ceased and burnt itself out. His brother was the only family he had and he actually missed him. He remembered the last things they had said to each other

*Flashback*

"You never listen to me!" Mokuba yelled, flustered. They were once again fighting with each other. Seto had just come home from work and they started a conversation that quickly escalated to where they were now. Lately they couldn't even stand being civil to one another. Mokuba was old enough to realize his brother had faults and to feel the pressure of growing up.

"You never talk to me!" The older brother roared

"Because you're never around!"

"I have to work! People have jobs you know! Oh wait; you've never worked a day in your life! And it wouldn't be a big deal if you were in school but no, you decided to take a year off!" Kaiba said angry

"Sorry we can't all be geniuses like you! You don't get it! Everyone expects me to take over KaibaCorp and be like you! But I do NOT want that! I am not you and never want to be!" Mokuba said, all the stress erupting

"What's that supposed to mean?" The older brother questioned

"I don't want to be a work-aholic with no friends, no girlfriend, nothing! You act more like a robot than a human Seto and you know it!" Mokuba said in anger

"Don't you dare talk to me like that! You need to start acting like an adult!" Seto argued

"Stop saying that! I am an adult! My only problem is YOU! You treat me like a child and never let me try and do my own thing" Mokuba said getting more and more angry

"Maybe there's a good reason I do that" Seto shot back

"You make me so mad!" Mokuba said heading for the door

"Where do you think you're going?" Seto followed

"I'm leaving. I have a flight to India in a few hours." Mokuba said grabbing the suitcase he previously placed by the door

"You're not going anywhere" Seto said grabbing the suitcase

"Gimme that!" Mokuba said. After a short struggle Mokuba ran out the door and started climbing into the car. Seto had grabbed him and pulled him back out and a short physical struggle ensued until a slap was heard. Mokuba put a hand over the already reddening cheek and Seto took a step back in pure shock.

"Mokuba… I'm" Seto said shaking and wide eyed

"I hate you!" Mokuba said jumping into the car and never looking back.

"Do you want something to drink Sir?" The flight attendant asked, pulling the raven haired man from his thoughts

"Yes, could I get some water please?" Mokuba asked the woman

"Here you are. Enjoy your flight." The woman said handing over a cold water bottle.

"Thanks" Mokuba replied politely as she moved on.

Outside his window all he could see was the ocean. His flight was almost over and soon he'd be able to see Japan, a sight he hadn't seen in two years. He sighed as he sipped his water. He tried to think of what Seto would think about him coming home. They hadn't had any contact at all, mostly because Mokuba wouldn't take the weekly calls or was usually in a location without any phones or service, like a private island or a jungle resort. He felt guilty for acting that way and for fighting with his brother, because it takes two to argue. He was in a much better place now. He had solid friends and he had discovered a passion for plants and natural medicines and cures. He had gone around the world and learned so much and was always interested in all the native plants of the country he was in and what they could be used for. He was coming back to see his brother and to use what was left of his trust fund to start his own company that sold herbal supplements and all natural medicines. He also wanted to attend college and officially study plants and medicine. As he watched the sun set over the water he could see a small dot in the distance, he was getting closer and closer to home.
