Mokuba continued to walk headlong into the rain. The cars that drove by seemed to hiss as they sped over the puddles in the road. His clothes were soaked beyond belief. Mokuba shivered as he stopped at the crosswalk. Some other people that were waiting there noticed him.

"Aren't you cold?" a woman asked.

"No. I'm fine." Mokuba said as he sneezed.

"Where's your mommy and daddy?" a man asked.

"Dead."

"Do you have someone to come home to?"

"Not really."

"Hey, aren't you that Mokuba Kaiba kid from TV?" an old man asked.

Mokuba ignored him and walked into the crosswalk as soon as the light changed. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a police officer. The one cop suddenly became a crowd of them. Mokuba started to run the other way. He knew the cops were after him. He ran, slipping through the crowds and shortcutting through alleyways. He figured he made it to the suburban part of town, after noticing more trees and smaller houses. He eventually stopped and caught his breath. He wheezed as he saw the police approach him. They stopped, and he saw his older brother walk up to the front.

"Mokuba, why did you run away?"

Mokuba glared back at him, and noticed where he was. The Domino City Bridge. It was about a 30 foot drop to the bottom, but he didn't care. He wanted to be away from his brother. He walked over to the rail, and lifted a leg over it. He sat on it, balancing himself.

"Mokuba get down from there!"

"I don't have to listen to you! I'm old enough to decide for myself!"

"Mokuba, why do you hate me so much now? I promised you that I'd always be there for you."

"Not when they kidnapped me!"

"Listen, I was calling and calling the police about seven times a day! If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at them, not me!"

The police officers made a side glare at Seto.

"Mokuba, if I did anything else, I'm sorry. I mean it. Now get down from there."

Mokuba sharply turned his head, but all of a sudden, he started to wobble. The wobbling became violently quick.

"SETO!" was all Mokuba could scream. He felt his world spin, then a sudden stop. He looked up, and saw his brother, holding onto his wrist. Seto pulled his younger sibling up to his chest, and stroked Mokuba's raven hair. Mokuba was crying in his shoulder, shaking in fear and coldness.

"Mokuba, it's alright...I got you. Let's go home."

"Okay big brother."

Mokuba laid in his bed, holding his stuffed Blue Eyes White Dragon. He saw Seto walk in, with a bowl of chicken soup. He placed the small table on Mokuba's lap and patted Mokuba's head.

"Now you eat all of it. It'll make you better."

"Thank you Seto. Will it make me as big and strong as you, big brother?"

Seto laughed as he nodded.

"Seto, I'm sorry I was acting like that. I've should've known better. Now I feel bad that I was being mean to you, big brother."

"It's okay Mokuba." Seto said as he smoothed Mokuba's hair.

"I finished. Can I have a hug?"

"Alright." Seto picked up the tray and hugged his little brother tightly. "No one's ever going to hurt you again. I promise."

"Good night Seto."

"Good night Mokuba. Before I go, let me take your temperature to see if your fever went down."

He pulled out a thermometer and placed it gingerly in Mokuba's mouth. He pulled it out after a minute and checked it.

"A little better. I'll check you in the morning. You get some sleep now."

"Okay! I love you Seto!"

"I love you too." Seto then glided out of the room, and closed the door gently. Mokuba turned the lamp off, and curled into the blankets. He held his stuffed Blue Eyes close to him and smiled.

I have the best big brother in the world. He'll always be there for me.
