What is this I don't even-

Heeeey xD Um well…-shuffled about nervously- OKAY IM SORRY D: I said that I would update sooner but I've been well…distracted by a lot of stuff. I actually got a job as well wooo!

But um, other than that well…I've just been distracted by video games lol…But I really am sorry! I've had a lack of motivation recently aswell which is irritating.

Truthfully as well, I haven't actually proof read this chapter yet which is bad, I just really wanted to upload it now, and I'll edit out anything which I think needs to be soon. I just wanted to get it up is all, to show that I haven't abanded this or anything w

SO this chapter isn't one of my best works, but the recent episodes have been messing up my ideas xD Especially episode 53….it really messed up my chapter 2 waaah!

Anyways, this chapter actually focuses more on Haruto alone plus other characters which you'll see when you read it, and not particularly with Kaito this time. SO I'm really sorry about that too, but I just couldn't help myself with this idea, it's been bugging me for weeks now w

It's not my best of chapters either, but please (xD) I hope you enjoy!

"Hey, Haruto, come play with us!"

"Yeah! It will be fun - come on!"

"Um…well…"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Well you see, I…n-nevermind!"

"What a weird kid…"

"Yeah, it's like he's too good to play with us or something."

"Yup. Hey, did you hear what happened with that girl? Apparently Har-…"

"Haruto? Why didn't you go off to play with them? Haruto? Hey! Haruto!"

"Snap out of it Haruto! We're already here!"

Shaking his head a little, the young boy looked up from his feet to find his face inches away from very large, solid, metal gates. He took a minute to stare in awe at the intriquit detail which even the gates themselves offered showing off the clear wealth of the family with Kaito had already mentioned to him.

"I never thought that they would be this rich." He simply stated, almost in a whisper as he didn't want to disturb the serenity which came with the area.

"Yeah, it's hard to describe how wealthy they really are." Kaito stated simply in response, as he slipped his hand out of his brothers own to buzz the intercom on the stone pillar beside the gate, to announce their arrival.

"The gates will be opened for you in just a minute."

Jumping slightly at the sound of the fuzzy voice breaking through the calm atmosphere, Haruto reached out to grab his brother's hand once more, the nervous feeling which he had experienced the night before returning to him the closer they got to the building.

"Haruto, we're going to be inside in a minute, you don't need to hold my hand."

"But-"

"Haruto…" cutting his brother off with an exasperated sigh, Kaito stopped and turned to him, before bending down to be on the same level as his own.

"Are you still worried about…?"

Nodding slightly, the young boy wringed his hands together as he stared at the floor, refusing to make eye contact with his older brother.

"You must think that I'm really silly…" he spoke quietly, now making patterns on the floor using the tip of his shoe.

"No, of course not," Forcing a smile onto his face, Kaito smoothed out the top of his brother's hair comfortingly, "You just have to remember that nothing bad will happen now. You can control your powers, right?"

"Yes…"

"Then you don't have to worry. Now let's go."

Taking his hand before he could protest any further, the brothers made their way into the front of the building, small surveillance camera's following their every movement.

As they reached the door, Haruto took a deep breath and told himself that he would be fine – it had been a long time since he had a mis-hap of his powers ,and besides, if these people here were so rich, then surely they'd also be well behaved? He wouldn't have to worry about getting too into having fun and letting his control slip. It would only take a second for something to happen, after all, and if the opportunity for that didn't arise, then he wouldn't have to worry at all!

"Yeah, that's right." He told himself as the carved wooden doors to the almost palace like building swung open, "All I have to do is sit and wait for brother to finish, then we won't have to do this ag-"

"BROTHER! GIVE ME BACK MY CARD!"

"No! It's not fair that you get another one and I don't! You'll have to catch me to get it back first!"

Entering the house, Haruto's train of thoughts was abruptly cut off by what appeared to be a spat between two of the houses residents.

"You-you're so mean!"

The young boy had to blink a couple of times as he watched the scene unfold before him- a small, pink haired boy whose bright green eyes told him that he was on the verge of tears (Haruto nodded slightly, being able to tell the tell-tale signs of a crying sessions about to come into play), was chasing an older blonde and brown haired boy with fierce, mischievous eyes across the room, crying out every now and again as he saw the older boy smirk.

What they were crying about Haruto didn't know; but all he knew was that he wasn't expecting such…loud behaviour from such an affluent family like themselves.

"Hey, now stop that boys, we have guests you know."

Stopping in mid wrestle on the floor, the pink-haired boy lifted himself up of off his brother and dusted himself down, before changing his mood completely.

"Oh wow, you never said there would be someone my age here too!" He half-yelled cheerfully as he ran up to the pair, causing Haruto to back behind Kaito a little in defence.

"Calm down, III. He's a little younger than you, and very shy. "

"Oh! I'm really sorry." Bowing down a little in apology, the young boy then proceeded to place his arms behind his back, moving on the spot a little bit in excitement.

"My name is III" he said with a large grin, "What's yours?"

"H-haruto." Moving out from behind Kaito, Haruto looked up to his older brother who simply nodded with a 'I told you so' look upon his face.

"Haruto huh? That's a nice name."

"Um, thanks…"

His smile faltering slightly, III titled his head to the side in confusion.

"What's wrong?" he innocently asked, moving closer to Haruto, "Don't you like it here?"

"Uh…"

"III, you're probably scaring him, back off a little."

Looking up Haruto noticed the boy who was teasing III early approach them from behind, something which looked like a duel monsters card held firmly in his hand.

"But big brother!" III whined, curling his little hands up into fists, "I was just trying to be nice!"

"Big…brother?" Haruto repeated, looking from the younger boy back up to his now confirmed older brother.

"Hm?" Locking his purple eyes onto the small boy before his own golden ones, the other boy traced his features slowly before knitting his eyebrows together in thought, Yeah, I'm his older brother. My name's IV, nice to meet you?"

Simply nodding, Haruto quickly turned his head to face his brother, who was beginning to walk off with another man with long white hair and piercing blue eyes – as soon as he saw them, shudders were sent down Haruto's spine, making him now question his brother's safety with that man more than his own.

"We'll be going for a bit now" Smiling, Kaito gave another small nod to his brother before turning his back on him to face a door leading off into another room, "I'll be back in about an hour, III and IV will look after you until then. You can play with them, alright?"

"B-b-"

"Hehe, come on, it'll be fun! Nothing bad will happen to your brother, my other big brother will take good care of him!" chimed in III, before putting his finger to his chin in thought, "Yup! He's very resp-res…responseeble?" he questioned before frowning at his mistake.

"Responsible, III." IV corrected him before sighing and shaking his head.

"Yeah, that's right! Now come on, let's go play."

Grabbing his wrist, III dragged the slightly overwhelmed boy off into the room which he and his brother were fighting in, stopping when they reached a small table.

"Would you like some tea?" he sweetly asked, turning to his own brother who just shrugged his shoulders in response, "I'm getting really good at pouring it now!" he finishes, turning to look back at Haruto as he did so.

"Um, okay…" he simply replied, looking down at the plush carpet beneath his feet – even when he and Kaito lived in their summer house, it still wasn't as greatly furnished as theirs. Chandeliers hung from the ceilings, their little glass droplets glittering with the reflected sunlight which hit them through the white and gold bordered windows, the lace netting covering them fluttering gently as a breeze rolled through the small gap which was open.

Everywhere he looked, Haruto was amazed; he found himself staring in awe at the large, mahogany cabinets which lined the sides of the walls, each one filled to the brim with old stones, gems, and artefacts from many past years and eras. He didn't want to admit it, but Haruto was almost slightly jealous of these boys.

"There's a lot of nice things, isn't there?"

Flinching at the voice in the now silenced room, Haruto looked back over to the brothers, seeing IV looking at him expectantly, whilst holding III's arm to make sure that he didn't drop the teapot.

"Yes…there's so many…well, old things."

Laughing slightly, the older boy let go off his brother's arm as his finished, motioning for Haruto to take a seat at the table along with them.

"Yes, our Father likes to bring home and collect artefacts which he finds on his journeys."

"Oh…that's very nice." Taking a sit down, Haruto looked back to the two boys, III was sitting swinging his legs on the table, looking past Haruto and fondly gazing what the boys were talking about, whilst IV sipped his tea gently.

It reminded himself of how his own family used to be, in a way. It was a sad yet at the same time…happy feeling. The two brothers definitely reflected his own relationship with Kaito, which reassured Haruto in some ways that there are others in the same situation as their own. Yet, they had a Father…

"Do you duel?"

"Hm?" The question surprised Haruto, who didn't quite take in what the boy had said.

"Do you duel at all? Your brother does, so what about you?" III repeated the question, leaving the table to go rummage on a small cupboard the other side of the room.

"No..I don't. Brother won't let me yet. He says that I'm not old enough."

"Oh, that's too bad…" Not paying much attention to the boy's response, III continued his search, eventually coming to the conclusion that what he was looking for wasn't there.

"Brother!" He suddenly yelled, pouting and stomping back over to the table.

"What?" came the cool response, the blonde haired young man still paying more attention to the tea than the two boys in front of him.

"You still have me card! Give it back!"

"Oh, I almost thought that you had completely forgotten about it." Fishing into his pocket, IV held up the card for his brother to see, "This, hmm?"

"Yes, please give it back to me brother!"

"Hm well, lemme think about that one…"

Watching as the boys continued on with their argument which they left off from earlier, Haruto began to wonder whether it would carry on in the same fashion. He thought that it would be a bit of a shame if the pretty things in the room got broken. Not to mention…

"Won't you parents be angry if you fight?"

It was an innocent question, but it stopped the brother's right then and there.

"Sorry…" IV muttered whilst gently pushing III away from him and returning his card.

"Thanks…I'm sorry too." He said in the same tone of voice, sitting down on the floor instead of at the table.

…

"I-" Haruto began after a few moments of awkward silence filled the air.

"Great." He thought whilst scrunching his face up to stop himself from crying, "I've ruined something again…"

"No…it's okay!"

The voice made Haruto look up, confusion upon his face as he saw the boys smiling at him.

"But I…that was rude of me." He continued, hoping that they would realise what he was apologising for, just in case they hadn't realised.

"Nah!" III skipped over and pulled Haruto down to sit with him on the floor, "We don't mind anymore! We've had ruder people you know…" he trailed off, looking at his Brother, motioning for him to come and join them as well, to which he didn't object too.

"R-really?"

"Yeah." IV responded coolly, whilst throwing his arms behind the back of his head, " We don't see our Mother or Father much, so it doesn't really bother us too much anymore."

"Mhmm" III chimed in, grabbing his feet playfully and rocking slightly as he spoke, "I guess you could say…what is it…you don't miss what you know?"

"What you don't know, silly." Placing a hand on his brother's knee to stop him from moving about so much, IV corrected him before waving a hand in dismissal at his brother's protests.

"We don't…see our parents very much either." Haruto admitted, shocked himself at the fact he was actually talking to the two boys almost…confidently.

"Really?" Giving a shocked looked, III moved around in the small circle which had been formed in order to place his small arm around Haruto's back, "Then I guess that we're the same!" He chirped happily.

"The same?"

"Indeed," IV replied this time, smiling a little at the site of the two boys in front of him, "We know how you feel, completely. Which is why III seems to like you so much especially."

"Yup!" agreed III as he giggled whilst getting up from the floor to grab something from a shelf, "We don't have many friends, you see."

Haruto watched III's as he took a little box from the shelf and sat back down again.

"You…don't?" almost whispering again, he followed IV 's hands as he began to place the contents of the box which his brother had brought back in an orderly fashion on the floor in front of him.

"Not at all. Father says that we're different, which is why we don't make friends. We're not allowed out much either….but I don't know why that is."

"Oh…"

"Now, III." Playfully pushing his brother a little, IV smiled at Haruto before pointing towards the cobjects which he just laid down, "You said that you don't duel, right? Well…I'm trying to teach III at the moment, so I'm sure that your brother won't mind if you follow along too."

Looking down, Haruto noticed the plethora of cards which IV had been organising as he and III spoke – the variety of cards were amazing, and Haruto has never even seen or even heard of some of the cards which they were using.

"You don't have to, if you don't want too of course." III looked at Haruto expectantly as he spoke, a pleading look in his eyes as his smile faltered again.

For the first time that day, Haruto felt a smile begin to tug at his own lips, which soon grew into a broad grin as he watched an excited III cheered as he agreed to listen to the makeshift 'tutorial' given by IV to the boys.

After the initial run through of what was going to happen, the hour seemed to fly by quicker than Haruto could have ever imagined it to – IV was a very good explainer, and Haruto could easily understand what was going on. III got confused a few times and rebuked by IV, almost causing the two to argue once more, but this time, Haruto laughed at their antics, realising now that it was just their way.

"Just like Kaito and me…" he smiled to himself as he watched the two nearly knock a table over when IV wrestled III back for a card.

"You're good brothers to each other." He randomly stated as he watched the what he assumed play fight.

"You have a great one too, you know" IV admitted, not letting his grip on III go, "He really looks after you, and cares about you lots. Not to mention loves you loads."

It was something which Haruto knew already, yet hearing someone else say it made it feel much more…special.

"Yeah…" he smiled at the brothers as he spoke, happy with the feeling which he just got from what IV said.

He didn't know why, but he felt his spirit being lifted from hearing those words, and after that, aside from the few arguments admits the learning, the hour otherwise went by smoothly.

"You see, this is a spell card."

"Oh uh huh…"

"And this is a trap card."

"Oh I see…."

"But if you use this…"

"Oh no! Wait, what?"

Just as the three were about to move on to XYZ's summoning, something which Haruto was becoming very interested, the large Grandfather clock in the middle of the room struck the hour, signalling that the hour was at an end.

The loud chimes startled the boys, causing III to jump up in frustration.

"That's not fair!" he yelled, causing the cards on top of his lap to flutter down in all directions.

"Something wrong, III?"

Turning to face the voice, III pouted as IV tried to pull him back down again.

"Yes. We were having fun, V."

"Fun?" Haruto looked at the two boys, then to the floor, then back to the two boys again, "fun…" he repeated to himself, before laughing out loud as he realised he was having so much fun, that he didn't realise that he was even having fun in the first place.

"Glad to see that you had a good time." Came a familiar voice, as Kaito came out of the same room which V just appeared from.

"Oh! Yes..."Now slightly embarssed by his previous worried of coming here, Haruto blushed slightly as he went as made his way over to Kaito.

"Aw…" his smile now disappearing completely, III sadly looked at IV and his picked himself up of the floor also.

Shrugging his shoulders in response, he went to place back the cards where he found them.

Haruto couldn't help but feel bad for III; he was feeling the same sad rush run throughout him as he looked at the young boy also, watching as his shoulder's drooped and his hung his head.

He didn't want to be alone again either.

"Brother…" Haruto tugged Kaito's arm gently, earning a soft 'hmm' in response, "Are you gonna be coming back here again?"

"What? Of course, silly. I can't get my training in just two sessions, you know."

His face now lighting up even more than before, Haruto ran back over to III, who had the same smile plastered upon his face also.

"Did you hear that?" he almost shouted, a complete contrast to his earlier state, "We can do this again!"

"Yeah! Next time, I'll show you some of the things which Father came home with, and then we can play with these new toys, and-"

"Alright, III, that's enough. You're getting over excited."

Instead of getting angry as he saw the firm yet gentle hand of V placed on his shoulder, III just nodded and smiled at Haruto, who in turn returned the gesture.

"Come on Haruto…" Kaito called out to his brother, who didn't seem to want to move from the spot, "we need to be getting home before it gets dark outside."

"Oh, uh, coming!" Running off to follow his brother out of the door, Haruto turned around to take one last look at III and IV whilst waving at them.

"We'll be good friends, right?" called III after him, his small handing dramatically waving back at him.

"O-of course!" Haruto simply replied, and he watched the family get smaller and smaller as the doors closed behind them.

Feeling a little like he was in a daze, Haruto almost didn't notice his brother speaking to him.

"After all that" he chuckled, as he guided them through the trees surrounding the outside of the home, "it looks like you could have spent more time in there."

Blushing slightly, Haruto nodded, the sheer happiness taking over him.

"Yup.." he muttered, embarrassed to admit it, "I actually wished that the hour would turn into a few more when it ended…"

Smiling happily, Kaito put his arm around his younger brother's shoulder, happy himself that he had finally found a friend and some confidence.

Yayaya! Abrupt ending yet again ohnoooo….haha I really need to work on that.

Okay so I know that it's not brilliant, but I promise that I'll make the next one better. Well…I'll try.

III: We used to be all so cute! –dreamy sigh-

Cele: Yeah…but you're still so cute III!-huggles-

III: …fangirls these days. At least you aren't looking at more-
