Over the next week Nurses had tried to force Mokuba to go to the children's ward but Kaiba wouldn't allow it. Mokuba stayed and continued to sleep either with Kaiba in his bed or on the bed next to him. Kaiba even caught a nurse try once to take Mokuba out but the doctor Joey had talked too made it clear that he was to stay. The doctor had learned Joey was right about Kaiba's attitude. Though he hadn't changed much he was still mean and rude the doctor did take note that he wasn't yelling and screaming about lawsuits. He was no longer continually trying to get out of bed and leave like he was before Mokuba was allowed to stay in the room.

Kaiba wasn't happy by the constant visits of Angie, Yugi and the others. He was thrilled when they were released on a Friday and over the next week Angie made sure that Kaiba remained in bed as much as possible. He and Mokuba spent a lot of that time together. Despite Angie's protests Kaiba still worked on his laptop.

Back at Yugi's Joey walked in just as Yugi was preparing to leave. It was the first Friday since Kaiba had returned home and Yugi wanted to return his locket.

"Hey Yugi we're going?"

"Oh to give this card back to Kaiba."

"Yeah how do you know its Kaiba's?"

"Well it fell out of Mokuba's pocket in the waiting room. I noticed later that Mokuba had one too. I'm assuming that it means this ones Kaiba's."

Joey snatched the locket from him. "It's probably his blue eyes white dragon."

"Joey you can't keep that it not yours, besides what makes you think Kaiba would keep his blue eyes card in that?"

"The way he prizes that card it wouldn't surprise me."

"Yeah but think about it Joey say Kaiba found a card he knew was yours and didn't tell you. Then when you found out about it he refused to give it back. How would you feel?"

"Yeah I guess your right Yug. But at least let's take a look to see what's in it."

"Well I don't guess there'd be any harm in that." Yugi said.

Joey opened it up and was surprised. "Mokuba! Look at this Yug. Doesn't that look like Mokuba?"

"Yeah it does, that probably means that Kaiba will be all the more anxious to get it back."

"Yeah if it was a picture of Serenity I'd want it back. So let's get going." They headed out towards the Kaiba mansion.

At the Kaiba mansion Angie came to check on Kaiba.

"Hey how are you, feeling?" Angie asked.

"Better where's Mokuba?"

"He's outside playing with his soccer ball. Why don't you take a break from your laptop and go outside and watch him."

"I really need to work."

"Suit yourself ring the bell if you want something."

Kaiba continued typing but couldn't concentrate now. Then he heard Angie call to Mokuba outside. Then he closed his laptop and walked to the window and saw she was kicking the ball to him.

"Poor kid his arm's still wrapped in those bandages. It has to be changed every couple of days or so. He kept telling me how sorry he was that he didn't mean to break the window. I finally got someone to fix it to keep Mokuba from worrying. After it was fixed it seemed to make him feel better. I wonder if he had gotten the window open could he have found the key to unlock the bars?"

Kaiba turned and looked at his laptop then over at his coat. He chose his coat and walked outside.

"Seto! I thought you were staying in bed to work." Mokuba said running up and hugging his brother tightly.

Kaiba hugged him back and ruffled his hair. "Yeah well I can't watch you play and work at the same time now can I."

Mokuba smiled his biggest smile, ran off and continued to kick the ball back and forth with Angie. Soon a guard walked over to Kaiba and told him that Yugi and Joey were at the front gate. He allowed them in, as they were walking up Kaiba noticed that they were right in the path between Mokuba and Angie.

'Come on kiddo if there was ever a time to kick that ball with all your might now's the time.'

Almost as if he had heard him Mokuba returned from chasing the ball after it got away from him and kicked it with all his might. Kaiba almost smiled as he saw the ball heading straight for Joey.

"Oh dog boy, watch out for the ball."

Joey stopped "Huh, what ball?"

Just then the ball hit him, Yugi, Angie and Mokuba ran up to him.

"Are you okay, Joey?" Angie asked.

"Sorry Joey I didn't see you." Mokuba said.

Joey managed to stand and ruffle Mokuba's hair. "Don't worry about it kid."

Mokuba turned to his brother who was laughing. "Seto, you knew I was going to hit Joey, didn't you?"

"Maybe I did." Kaiba said.

"Well just for that I shouldn't give you this back." Joey said holding up his locket.

Kaiba stormed over there, snatched it away and put it on.

"You found it! I thought I lost it!" Mokuba said.

"Yeah I found it in the waiting room of the hospital. It must have come out of your pocket." Yugi said.

"Hey I have a soccer game coming up tomorrow, do you guys think you could come? It's the biggest game of the year! I'm starting kicker the first half and goalie the second half."

"Yeah sounds like fun." Yugi said.

Yugi and Joey much to Kaiba's distress stayed for a couple of hours at Angie and Mokuba's instance.

The next day they came to Mokuba's soccer game. Kaiba cancelled his trip and made the meeting a videoconference from Kaiba Corp instead. He went to that meeting but had pushed it back an hour so that he could make Mokuba's game. He made it in time for the second half and Angie had taped the first half. Mokuba wasn't mad that he didn't make the first half since this was the first time he'd ever actually come to any game he was thrilled even if it was only the second half.

Aiko was watching the game too, though since she was invisible and floating above the crowd, no one noticed.

"You know I told him he couldn't see any of his possible futures, but since he never specifically asked to see any of Mokuba's possible future if he lived I never brought it to light. I'd been happy to have shown him. He never noticed those doors, but then again maybe he chose one of those doors after all."

Mokuba's team won the game 10-5

With the game over Aiko vanished and last door opened and showed Kaiba pushing Mokuba on a swing and then kicking the ball back and forth with him.

The End
