WhatsInAName!!!: Well, even if you can't write, you're excellent at being a great reviewer! Thanks for being so awesome man, hope you enjoy the chapter.

AmePiper: That's great to hear! I totally wasn't sure if I should add in the flashback or not. I mean, I really wanted to, but I felt like you guys might get a little annoyed or something with it. In the end I decided to go with my writer's instinct and go on and add it in there. And it's so great to hear such kind words. I'd like to think I know my characters inside and out, and I know that's not possible only being a writer and not exactly the creator of these brothers, but I'm pretty damn close from what you tell me! It's always great to hear such nice reviews, and I'm so glad you'll be there with me till the end. I'd like you to know, that when I wrote this chapter, even though I was tired or wasn't motivated, I thought of your review and tried to get it done as fast as I could, so I hope it made a difference and enjoy!

fierypheonixgirl119: Yeah, that counselor was mean. Most counselor's really aren't that way, I definitely don't wanna give off the impression that they are. They're actually quite helpful. This one was just mean cause, well, poor Seto lives a hard life. Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Afiong Bassey: I'm sorry. I hope my last chapter wasn't too gross. Hopefully this chapter will be a little easier to read for your stomach. Thanks and enjoy!

Chapter 4

Running in Circles

"Nii-sama?" Seto snapped back to reality. His head turned and looked back at his brother. "Are you sure your okay Nii-sama? You seem a bit… tense."

"I'm fine Mokuba… it's you I'm worried about. Listen… I think you should come back home with me tonight."

"Tonight? But don't I need to stay here for a little while longer?"

"I know, I know. But… you know how lonely it gets in the mansion. Especially when you're not around. And I can't bare even imagining you all alone in that hospital without me there to protect you." Mokuba gave a small giggle.

"Protect me? From what?" Seto could think of ten different horrible ways some villain or vengeful nut case could find his way into the hospital and hurt Mokuba, but he remained silent and gave a fake smile.

"Come on Mokuba… just come with me. Just to put my silly worries to rest."

"Well… alright."

"Great." Seto didn't wait a second longer. He gently moved his hands underneath Mokuba and pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly against his chest as he moved back onto his feet. After he had steadied himself, he started his way out of the hospital at a somewhat quick pace.

"Nii-sama, shouldn't you tell someone your taking me? Or check me out?"

"If they get worried, they'll be sure to call me and I'll tell them you're with me. There's nothing to worry about." Seto stated as he gracefully made his way out the door and to his car. He carefully placed Mokuba in his seat and put on his seatbelt. When Seto got into the car and buckled himself in, there was an eerie silence between the two brothers. Seto suddenly became aware that something was wrong. He looked over at his brother. Before he could ask, Mokuba already spoke up.

"I… I'm sorry Nii-sama…" Mokuba didn't look his brother in the eyes.

"Sorry? For what? You haven't done anything wrong."

"I'm sorry… for believing Hanzo." At first, Seto hadn't the slightest clue what Mokuba meant. Then the memories started to come back to him. 'Look at him Mokuba… watching this… watching you die… he doesn't care.' Hanzo's words echoed through his mind. 'Why even fight to stay alive when you know the only family you have is that selfish bastard Seto Kaiba? Don't you miss your dad? Your mom? Don't you want to see them again? It's best if you just give up, your parents would probably want it that way… considering you killed them.' The anger from that very night had returned to him in that moment.

"I was in a weak position…" Mokuba spoke once more. "I probably would've believed anything he had told me that night… the pain was just so great. I couldn't think straight."

"Mokuba, you don't have to worry about anything. The most important thing is that you're with me and you're safe. Hanzo will never hurt you again." Seto started up the car and started his way towards home. The eeriness had gone, but the silence was still there the whole way home between both brothers.

It felt like the whole world was spinning. He started to open his eyes slightly, but his vision had not yet come back to him. He was shaking. Mokuba felt as though his whole body was out of whack and wasn't functioning correctly. Had he taken any drugs? Mokuba couldn't remember, maybe that was also the result of the drugs. His vision had come back to him finally and he started to observe his surroundings. It looked like a cozy little office, but Mokuba knew that this place was the farthest thing from cozy.

He had to remain calm. This was not the first time he had been in this type of situation and he knew remaining calm was the best way to go about things, at least until his brother showed up. But even though he had been in this type of situation much more than most people, the same thought came to his mind once again. What if this time his brother couldn't save him and he died? Mokuba jumped at the sound of the door being open.

"Well, well, well… good morning princess." Hanzo said, giving him a menacing smile. Mokuba tried to put on a tough face, even though he was shaking inside. "Did you have a good sleep? I'm sure those pills helped you."

'So he did drug me…' Mokuba thought to himself. He tried to move his body, but it didn't work. His arms and legs felt like they were made out of mush, he couldn't move any part of his body no matter how hard he tried. Mokuba started to panic, trying to move his body but still getting no results. He whimpered in fear and desperation.

"Oh yes, I forgot to mention. You probably won't be able to move for a couple hours. I gave you more than any human being so be able to handle, but I'm sure you'll be okay." Mokuba was still trying to calm himself, but with each passing second the desperation grew and his mentality was crumbling.

"W… Why…?" Mokuba choked out, in a quiet voice.

"Why you ask?" Hanzo walked over and knelt down in front of Mokuba, putting his hands on Mokuba's shoulders. "Well, you see Mokuba… your brother ruined my life." Hanzo stood back up, "It's quite the tragic story, actually. Would you like to hear it?" Without waiting for an actual response he went on, his hands behind his back as he paced back forth across the room. "I was fresh out of college. A promising young man with a long life ahead of him. In those days Kaiba Corp. was just starting up, and that was around the time when I first met Gozaburo.

"He told me to be apart of his team, his company that was going to change the world. He promised me many things if I did what he had asked, and I was more than happy to join his team and work by his side. When Kaiba Corp. had reached its golden age, I was Gozaburo's top employee, his right hand man. He made sure that I gotten everything I deserved and therefore, I did my part and helped Kaiba Corp. climb all the way to the top." Hanzo stopped in the middle of the room, turning to face Mokuba and look him straight in the eyes. "Then your brother took over the company. When news of Gozaburo's death and Seto's new position had reached the public, I thought nothing of it. Until your brother fired me.

"He claimed I wasn't a good enough worker, and that I didn't support his new ideas for the company, that I was only good working for Gozaburo. He fired me on the spot, and my life crumbled to the ground. My job was my life, and suddenly I was on the streets without anything. That's when I knew, I had to get him back. I had to give Seto Kaiba what he deserved. And that's why you're here, young Mokuba, wondering weather you'll live or die. It's all because of what your brother did."

Mokuba just stared at the man. For a moment, he hadn't realized how many lives Seto had really affected after he had taken over the company. But then he realized this wasn't exactly the greatest way to go about it, especially not holding him hostage and threatening to kill him. Sometimes Mokuba wished there weren't so many lunatics in the world; it would've made his life so much easier.

Hanzo flipped out knife he had grabbed off his desk, observing it. "Your brother hasn't treated you well, has he?" He asks, looking back over at me. Hanzo makes his way across the room and kneels down right in front of me. "Don't worry" He brings up the knife and lets the point just barely touch my skin, "I'll take care of you from now on."

The door busts open. Seto appears inside the room within seconds, from the look on his face, he's ready to fight anyone. "Hanzo Itaka. I thought it was you. You always sucked at writing business letters, but I didn't know you sucked at writing randsom letters as well."

"Well, it's good to know you can still read Seto Kaiba. I was almost worried you wouldn't come." Seto looked over at Mokuba, his facial expression was a twist between fear and guilt. Mokuba would've killed to make a facial expression of his own, sending a silent message to his older brother, but his body was still dysfunctional from the drugs going through his system. Seto looks back at Hanzo.

"Give me back my brother."

"So soon? And we were just starting to bond."

"Hanzo, if you don't give him back I will make sure that you will pay for what you've done to him."

"Is that so?" Seto turned towards Mokuba again.

"Get out of here Mokuba!" Mokuba lay there, his body limp and unmoving. "Mokuba, what are you waiting for? Make a run for it!" Seto commanded. Mokuba wished more than anything that he could call out to his brother, that he could tell him what was wrong. "What have you done to him? You bastard!"

"Oh, nothing but a couple drugs here and there… nothing to worry about, I'm sure." Hanzo picked up Mokuba and held him in his arms for a moment. He gazed down into the boy's face, staring at him with a mothering gaze. "Poor little thing, stuck with such an abusive brother on top of a dangerous life."

"Put him down Hanzo." Hanzo shifted Mokuba in his arms and now held him in a headlock, leaving the rest of his body to hang by his neck. Hanzo lifted the blade and put it to Mokuba's neck, giving Seto an evil stare. He knew he had him now. Seto stopped breathing for a moment. Mokuba looked helplessly into his brother's eyes.

"MOKUBA!"

A/N: So I didn't get as far as I wanted to get with this chapter, but at least you have something to live for, right? Okay, for anyone who didn't really understand, that last bit up there was a flashback. Basically the beginning and reasoning behind Hanzo's kidnapping and what not. Just thought I'd let you guys know just in case. I'm loving all your reviews, I've already started on the next chapter, and I hope to hear from you all soon! Thanks.
