"Hello, Yugi is everything alright? Your phone is out of range and the store is still closed!"
Looking at his watch, he gasped surprised as half an hour passed the opening time "Mokuba are you by any chance waiting outside? besides, you're the one who is absent all time"
"yeah kind of, sorry I always drop by your place suddenly! I took today off; I want to discuss some important things with you"
Yugi "I am the one responsible for the store today, work won't attend to itself you know!"
Mokuba "no problem, I've brought who can attend to the shop in your absence, we need some privacy I'll take you to my special café, it's on me as a make-up apology."
Yugi hurried outside and opened the facades, looking around he smiled sarcastically at the elegant purple dodge charger standing next to the store with a teenager barely on the edge of 17 driving it, besides him sat a Sleepy and tired Ryou with messy hair, most likely he has been dragged forcibly! no doubt Mokuba is Seto's brother!
Ryou clutching his hand on his racing heart "aren't you afraid that they'll catch you someday! "
Mokuba "Nah! Not in a hundred years! "
Ryou got off fixing his clothes and hair while smiling " How are you Yugi? "
Yugi smiled sheepishly" I am fine and you?! "
Ryou sarcastically "as you can see! "
Yugi "sorry to be dragged into this though it's your vacation"
Ryou "no worries he paid me extra for one day in exchange for coming on my vacation, plus spending time in your store is always worth it, so everything is fine!"
Yugi "that's Mokuba for sure! okay then, I leave the shop under your care as always, thank you so much, you are a lifesaver!"
Ryou happily "same to you, that's what are friends for, now enjoy your ride and fasten the seatbelt, he is totally crazy!"
Yugi nodded and waved at him then rode the car, Mokuba smile widened, he loosened the hand brake and pushed down the clutch, Yugi held his breath as the car sat off racing the wind; while enjoying the fascinating ride, his train of thoughts swam endlessly.
"It's been four years since Diva appeared in our lives introducing the existence of other dimensions, claiming there is a prophecy left after the nameless pharaoh is free and he is chosen to reach the perfect world under his leadership, but Atem proved him wrong and was able to leave the afterlife to save us... refuting everyone's statements including me.
Jonouchi departed on a journey to be a duel monsters' pro player, touring the world from place to place, working many part-time jobs and duelling whoever he meets overrunning challenges and gaining more experience, I assume that he might have met up with Mai on the way too.
Honda is working at his father's factory in addition to a part-time job, we barely hear any news from him, trying to earn money the fastest way to ask Shizuka hand for marriage as soon as possible and settle down, he is the only normal one between us.
Otogi is as lively and attractive as ever, working in his mini café trying his hardest to open his father's arcade again but this time under his own name and management.
On the other hand, there is Ryou... well, Ryou is on a whole different level; along with Otogi we discovered that he suffered from severe mental disorders concealed for a long time, he never moved on his mother and sister death and being under Bakura control for a long time disrupted his body balance and damaged his ability to interact with the surrounding environment naturally, all the side effect increased when Bakura was gone, despite the fact that he is gone dreams of him are still haunting Ryou.
facing Diva and reminded by his own father and Shadi's death turned his life upside down worsened furthermore, The landlord of his rented apartment is a nice old lady, she liked him so much and cared for him as her son who is working overseas, she always chatted with him unlike the rest of his neighbours, she would enter the room with her keys every day and night checking up on him secretly until one day she called us and said (Ryou attempted suicide) we ended up in emergencies many times for he repeated it more than once, each time he would barley survive the ordeal for his health is weak to begin with. thank God, fate always helped us in rescuing him.
he was forced to a doctor that diagnosed him with severe depression and hallucinations he nearly ended up in a mental institution, but we refused to accept that fact, later on, we met up with a good kind doctor, he prescribed many medicines and mental strategies to help him under one condition; he must never stay alone, he spent the time with me, Otogi or under the landlord intensive care, his fan club girls also helped by bringing him gifts and goods until we obliged him to work in my grandpa store a while and in Otogi's café a while; interacting with people and playing games, increased his recovery status rapidly, after three years he is finally better and his mentality and mind state became stronger and more balanced, the only thing that never left him are the dreams bound to Bakura, after each dream, he would always cry and say (it hasn't ended yet, help is needed!) Well, Bakura made him suffer hell alive so why bother? he is dead and surely rotten by now, we never understood his words but what matters the most is that he is with us now safe and sound.
since the day of the tournament four years ago Kaiba never showed his face again, not a single photo has been shown to him, even when Duel Links officially launched, there was no public appearance for him! though he always distributes his latest projects personally! duel links game has become the world's leading duel monsters' game, considering its ability to join duelists from all around the world physically and emotionally, if Kaiba had ever appeared he would be a hologram.
Mokuba never stated anything about this but I am sure, Kaiba never gave up on duelling Atem one more time, his disappearance must have had something to do with it, what scared me that Mokuba was suffering alone and I was sadly right! I remember him coming to grandpa store one month after the tournament, emotionally tormented and exhausted like a little kid who lost his only favourite toy, he was never able to hide his sadness, who can blame him? he literally lost his only relative in a blink of an eye, I tried many times to make him shout out his emotions and tell me what happened, but he would never say a word or simply he would burst into tears.
one day he made me swear to never breath a word about his brother's absence, or he would no longer restrain himself and would break down out of stress. when I promised him, things lightened up between us, later he would always come and pay us a warm family visit, play games with me, Ryou or Otogi unless he is busy, he has grown up to be a very strong, independent man indeed.
Without duel links, me, Jonouchi, Honda, Ryou, Otogi and my relationship with Anzu would never have survived; despite Kaiba ignorance, attitude and persona, his tantrums about duelling and getting his revenge, all he ever really wanted is connecting with others, keeping all he loved near no matter what is the cost, his obsession with the white dragon gives it all, always making new cards and things revolving around it to ensure it's legend lived, the blue eyes white dragon is a symbol of his long lost love, His only partner and trusted brother Mokuba, Atem case is no difference, they share a strong bond of past, blood, rivalry and true friendship only they can understand, he simply wanted to revoke all distances across place and time, losing for Kaiba meant the end so he just couldn't stand parting from all he treasures even if it cost him his own life.
Duel links Game connects people from all around the world, never leaving anyone alone, we never thought after high school we will be separated not only physically but our friendship core would be shaken, with all the advancement, developments and Crises hitting the earth, life has become a stressful and annoying routine, running after errands, learning how to survive and ensure the stability of our life nothing less, nothing more still I hope the best is yet to come.
"from earth to Yugi are you still here?"
He left his bubble, turned around and got out of the car stretching "sorry I strayed in my thoughts a bit"
Mokuba happily "no problem hope you didn't eat breakfast yet!"
what a coincidence Yugi sarcastically thought remembering the morning events "yeah I didn't"
Mokuba "good let's eat it together."
They entered the café and chose a special corner around an inner small fountain to sit, Mokuba blinked at the waiter, he nodded, went to the owner and whispered a few words, the owner directly announced the café will be closed urgently and apologized to all customers, he closed the doors, shutters and dimmed the lights, Yugi was amazed at how suddenly the café was all Mokuba's, well of course, after all it's his. Somewhere deep inside violet eyes felt safe for he is watched! the young CEO behaviours accidentally helped him plus the café owner and waiter seemed trustable so now their privacy and secrets are ensured, the waiter brought many plates from each colour and flavour and put them down neatly that all appetites should invigorate leaving no choice.
"this too much! I can't eat all that! "
Mokuba funnily "really?!"
Yugi "why did that sound like an insult!"
"We know that you are a food monster, don't be shy about it, we're still growing plus I didn't eat since yesterday, so trust me everything will be wiped clean "
Yugi sheepishly" Okay I admit it I am a food monster, but Mokuba are you overworking again?
Mokuba "well, that is life! Isn't it? "
Yugi "for God's sake Mokuba you are only 17! What's the matter with you, I understand that you want to stay at the top but Kaiba corporation is doing a fantastic job, you are not only keeping it at the top, you actually managed to rank it up from three to two in the gaming world so why not loosen up a bit?"
"now, now Yugi please don't start! Besides That's why I am about to eat the whole place"
Yugi annoyed "fine! what did you want to talk about then?! "
"eat first, I have the whole day free"
"eating and talking is more enjoyable "
"fine, I wanted to talk about your game Yugi, you might think that I ignored your messages but I didn't, I was just busy and now we are ready to do this; me and the team liked your game idea so how about we meet up in KC. Space station, the view there is just amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for new projects, with the help of our specialized team we will test your game (Maze of the Chosen) so how about you pick up a time this week? "
Violet eyes sparkled in joy "thank you Mokuba, I am in debt to you, ready anytime any place.
"There is no such thing, I am only repaying some of your favours! if your game proved itself Kaiba corporation will support you till the end"
"what favours are you speaking of, I didn't do anything that deserves mentioning"
"because of you my relationship with Rebecca has been established, above all, you helped me surpass my fears and doubts for a long time, in fact; during the last four years, you were a lifesaver for everyone though you had enough to deal with! "
Yugi smiled kindly "that's what are friends for Mokuba, never forget that we share the same blood, what we've been through have tied us more and more"
"you're right we share the same blood, now how about we meet up on Friday night! "
" that's fine with me, now speaking of Rebecca how are you after what we did?"
"Argh, we are not proceeding! the road is too long! I can never forget how she was obsessed with you and she is so stubborn; I still can't believe how did we end up together! "
Yugi laughed "duel links third-anniversary event was just too much!
Mokuba "it was a normal meeting in the game, we all gathered to celebrate, I thought I lost the fight before starting, but as usual, the hawkeyes of yours noticed my feelings towards her right away, and Anzu, man! she was so poor, I won't forget how the table was turned on her, you lured her into telling how she feels about you and when Rebecca saw the situation is serious, she challenged Anzu in a duel which the winner will get to tell you her feelings, Anzu apparently lost and Rebecca thought she claimed you, you were kind of rude then! You made them duel though you knew how to stop everything before it started, Anzu cried, and since then she was addicted to getting better at duelling!"
Yugi" Rebecca might have won, but she forgot that I have feelings, I admit I may have gone along with her a little too long, but I expected her to mature sooner, nevertheless the problem lied in her persona, she even said she hates me because I am now acting like that ignorant pharaoh; you are right, I toyed with their feelings unconsciously because of my lack of trust, I always pushed Anzu feelings aside claiming she is only thinking about Atem and I am not a substitution for her to lay her shoulder on, though the truth is ... I always compared myself to him that's why I put all the blame on Anzu's, she never stops mentioning that day, but deep down I know she forgave me, for we all were lost.
You know something, Atem never tried to sit or speak with Anzu alone, he knew she liked him, he always tried to tell me that I am the only Yugi in the world and no one shall take my place, many times he tried to tell me ... go on, tell Anzu how you feel, but I never did, for a long time even after he passed on, I still saw everyone treating me as if I were him, though the truth is that I was the one who always chose to see It that way!
I told Rebeca the truth, she is very spoiled and stubborn, we never share anything in common, Anzu may be moody but she is nice and understands me, I treated Rebecca harshly because I knew when you would come and give her a shoulder she will directly fall for you, she is the type that searches for the knight who will always catch her before falling and you happened to be the right person, your love, kindness and seriousness will enhance her character, you both are still young, time will fix everything!"
Mokuba smiled sadly " you are right, the pharaoh's existence between us built so many things while destroyed many other things, maybe time can't fix everything!"
"Mokuba let me tell you something; if by any chance I chose to hide behind his shadow, that does not mean he is the one to blame! if Anzu ever chose to never love anyone but him, he is not the one to blame! and if your brother ever chose to sacrifice himself to duel him again that's also not his fault, don't forget that Atem never wanted to be trapped in the puzzle likewise when his time with us came to an end, he pushed himself further away from everyone in order to protect himself and keep the others away from meaningless relations."
Mokuba annoyed "still what he wanted to prevent is what actually happened! he had no right to cut his ties with the others the way he did, you think running away actually solves it? sorry Yugi but running away from what you fear will deliver you straight into fear's mouth"
Yugi "he did not run away! he was forced to pack up things quickly because of Ishtar instructions, I happened to want him free as soon as possible, and your brother was overseas signing the last paper for his project, Atem never bothered Seto again because he wanted you both to achieve your dreams and build Kaiba land to move into the future"
Mokuba "did you ever consider his feelings Yugi, did he ever tell you that he wanted to be free!"
Yugi was shocked remembering long-lost words:
("I don't care if I never find my memories, I want to be with you forever")
"than staying in the puzzle forever and used as a tool whenever someone desires it would be better? He told me he wanted to stay with me for I was weak! for my own sake not his! he was a spirit with no memories, he needed to find peace, to find himself!"
Mokuba "so you find yourself by dying? Ryou told me details about the so-called ceremonial duel, something sounded off! think about it Yugi... was the pharaoh really in the perfect shape to duel? why did he not use all Ra effects? why was he badly focused on the Egyptian god cards! is he a beginner not to be careful of his opponent or an idiot to not notice that the Egyptian gods are full of weaknesses?! after all, his strategies revolved around Dark Magician so why now he chose to toss it aside! did he ever once see you duel to call it a fair challenge for you knew all his strategies? not a single human on earth doesn't fear death! I found one explanation: he was scared, alone without you or a single friend, Ryou mentioned that all of them hailed for your victory while forgetting that losing for the pharaoh meant he will pass on, he will be judged! I couldn't believe that he was at ease for a moment while duelling you, he simply accepted the others judgment! come on let's face it, it is only from your own perspective, you chose what best for you two, he never shared your opinion, well basically he never had the choice you are speaking of!"
Yugi protested hitting the table hard " what are you trying to say? I killed the one who is closer than myself to me! what the hell do you actually know about me or Atem to judge us!"
Mokuba was taken aback by the other sudden rage" I am not judging anything I told you what I felt, what I heard and saw, all I care about that if the pharaoh would have been here now, I would not be living hell on earth as I am now!"
Violet eyes widened considerably, Mokuba's sudden burst and mood change shattered all his defences, he sat up blinking unable to process the facts, not that he did not think of it before, but hearing it from others hit far harder than whispering it to himself every now and then! so he really did kill him instead of freeing him? Mad thoughts crossed his mind and merciless memories haunted him! Deep down he refused to submit to these awful feelings so he chose to focus on Mokuba, his sorrowful words meant that Kaiba really did leave the living world to duel Atem again and he did not return yet!? God, how could life be that cruel? how on earth did things exactly reach this pointing Yugi thought!
On the other hand, Mokuba noticed that he crossed the line, deep blue eyes showing a pang of clear guilt "I am sorry Yugi, I did not mean to open up your wounds it's just that... I wish we had a better solution! "
A better solution! He suddenly remembered why he desperately wanted to ask Mokuba for help but after hearing his feelings, there is no possible way they could understand each other hence, there won't be any kind of negotiations about the museum. Yugi swallowed down his pain and put up a bitter smile
"it's okay! humans' psychology is complicated, it's normal to have different points of view, Afterall your fingers are not the same, I believe in what I did and won't regret anything, let's eat our breakfast and change the topic, shall we?"
Mokuba nodded and smiled as the teen he is "okay!"
00000
In a wide-open area where the mountains rise tall and snow covers Its peaks, darkness prevailed and night is serene, though there is no light, stars shone above all in an elegant scene, a shining blue meteor in the faraway sky across the vast horizon appeared out of nowhere than pierced its way through the atmosphere as a miraculous arrow.
The thief king inside was trying to balance the shuttle the best he could however, all systems failed to answer him, red alerts, danger reports flashed in front of his kunzite eyes warning him of a near crush that will destroy all protection devices and shields if it were to land on a tapered mountain like the one underneath them. Fear and terror filled his heart as he is definitely doomed.
"I should have counted my movements a thousand times before I acted; I totally forgot these damn modern flying systems! woe to me I made a grave mistake!"
He turned to the right checking on the crimson-eyed pharaoh's health, but what he saw made his heart quiver, all will and words to fight disappeared as his body turned into a golden dim flame.
In the meantime, Kaiba had used all his strength to hold on depending mainly on his emergency suit system, the protective magnetic elements on his knees and elbows ensured his stability, the devices on his arms and legs helped to maintain easy and flexible movements while his virtual reality eye plastic lenses turned into a transparent emergency oxygen mask, he took a deep breath and tried moving on the shuttle fuselage towards the main hatch, step by step he made it up, white face is pale and tired for he only made through alive because of the quantum cube, so no running away from the dimension travel side-effects, on the other hand, Bakura enjoyed VIP protection of the shuttle alongside the newborn millennium spheres barriers, however all he cared about now is regaining control over his shuttle and surviving... hopefully with intact bones.
He put his fingers under the hatch through a specially created void searching for five small buttons, he pressed them, lighting blue all together they opened a hole in the hatch suitable only for sliding, after he was finally in the hole closed immediately, unfortunately, the bottom heat shield clashed with the mountain's body harshly descending down in quick vibrating rhythm causing a temporary concussion for those who are facing the calamity, time passed them slowly as death floated Infront of their eyes, what gave them the K.O and like a falling great star, Atem's golden flame burned into orange ashes leaving nothing.
At least the big boss finally regained control, Kaiba took Bakura by the collar and throw him away glaring and promising him absolute demise after they Get out alive, it was indeed a challenge, he turned back on the systems, pressed all emergency buttons and started his lenses navigation system to study the geography of the location and understand where exactly they have landed.
"Kisara give me our coordinates and tell me the damages"
"We are on planet earth, Andes mountain range, 21st century. year2020 exactly four years after your journey"
Bakura was shocked, earth, 21st century!"
Hearing the thief's tone made him smile in victory "seems your little game finished before it even starts, Kisara continue the report and fix yourself, there must be an error with the date and time system"
Kisara "the rest as follows: the thrusters have been damaged partly, you have to manually control the shuttle, the heat shield and body flap got destroyed completely, and if the inclination continued as it is the main engines will explode in less than three minutes.
Kaiba "specify a suitable spot for landing, turn off the autopilot, switch all main control units to me, turn off all lights except for the hatch front ones and use all left energy to self-maintenance"
Kisara did as told, she specified a big empty area filled with soil and a lake, he studied the area a bit and acted directly, if he could manage to lift the shuttle up the ground and swerve its angle to the left, the shuttle track will change to a smoother one ensuring its structure safety after that he can easily stop safely.
he sweated heavily, heart beating as a timed bomb, blue eyes narrowed focusing as his vision blurred for a second, still, he was determined to survive and fix everything! he turned on the right jet main engine and stopped the left one, by using what left of the thrusters he changed the direction of the shuttle and by the elevons help it actually worked, the shuttle motion calmed, and before it hit the water surface he managed to stop it completely, Bakura embraced himself and used some shadow magic to relive the impact, for Kaiba, airbags inflated extremely quickly at his chest level protecting him from the violent collision.
The landing drained the shuttle out of energy, all systems shut down immediately leaving a low buzzing with fuel and burning smoke evaporating from the engines, Kaiba opened the hatch dying for fresh air, he fell down from the hatch while Bakura body was screaming from pain, he tried crawling out panting and hugging the earth underneath him while swearing and cursing, he has three damn disasters now
01- he failed in using the spheres powers resulting in his return to this despicable future, 02- the pharaoh who he needs the most disappeared with no trace, and heck Kaiba will find out sooner or later that everything was out of his control since the moment Horakhty uncovered his disguise, 03- he has no other option but to stick around that damn CEO because he is the only one who can save them now.
Kaiba balanced himself, the device on his arm warned him that his body temperature is high, he moved slowly until reaching the lake, he kneeled down and drank deeply from the fresh cold water soothing his dried throat and burning face, it felt like he did not drink years ago! well, that is not precisely wrong only he didn't realize yet, After regaining a little strength blue eyes burned with anger and with swift movements, he reached the thief who somehow managed to rest his back against the iron structure, Kaiba knelt down on one and hit the iron walls with his fist inches far from the thief's face
"you insolent! do have any idea how much this now mass of garbage cost me! I'll make you pay just wait... you filthy thief! "
"would you shut up and enjoy the damn moment at least!? we've made out alive minutes ago! "
Bakura replayed boldly never flinching or reacting when Kaiba put his hand around his neck and squeezed "what did you do to him? Where is he!? I swear if you harmed him anyway before we settle our score, I won't just mush your organs I will cut you to pieces and throw your meat to the wild cats while your bones to the street dogs, understand?!"
Bakura tried to outsmart him, he loosened up the two chains wrapped around his arms under his sleeves and once again managed to wrap one long chain around Kaiba's neck "remember that he is my hostage! try to lay one finger on me and you won't duel him or see him again in your whole life"
Kaiba glared at him dangerously "you seem to have a lot up in your sleeve, but here... you are on my field and under my control if I made my team question you, I'll bring you to your knees begging and kissing my foot to stop! "
Bakura squeezed the chain burying his worries "let's see who will win! And if his majesty will stay alive if you harm me anyway!"
"I've wasted all my time and invested tons of money to duel him again for the likes of you to come and ruin my whole plans by making him disappear? What do you want from him? You've killed him once and ripped everything he cares about, you destroyed everything, what the hell does he still have to pay for your madness!"
Bakura laughed "what a coincidence, his majesty made everyone who meets him lose his mind ha!? you heard him right? he is ready to pay for his misdeeds, above all my loved ones suffering, though if he died and spilled the last drop of his blood a thousand times, he won't be able to redeem me, nevertheless fate always stands by his side for a reason, ironic isn't it? my loved ones' safety depends ultimately on the one I hate the most!"
Kaiba "your loved ones' safety! you filthy rats Didn't you all die and rot already? "
Bakura's eyes burned with hatred" do you see me dead you arrogant fool! by the way, because the likes of you who were born with a golden spoon in their mouth that we rats exist! don't forget, you wealthy people are the core of mud and corruption"
His right blue eye twitched in frustration, the moment he loosened his grasp, Bakura loosened the chain proudly then Kaiba's anger suddenly was replaced by a wicked malicious smile, he laughed loudly as he went three meters faraway "if you move more than ten meters away from me or got closer more than seven meters the nanodevice I implanted in your neck will explode you in a thousand-piece before you blink So you better stay obedient where you are.
Kunzite eyes widened as he felt a slightly piercing pain, he put his hand where it hurts to find a small blood trail proving the implantation fact, all words escaped him as he is totally caged now, As Kaiba moved away he cursed under his breath giving up for the moment, he just wants to rest, no more shocks, burns or pain, nor mentally nor physically, he closed his eyes as burning tears betrayed him remembering and blaming the life that brought him here!
Kaiba wasn't familiar with the depressing emotions he is experiencing right now, does that mean he went back to square one? no it is even worse now! he clutched his hand as a fist then loosened them feeling way too heavy inside and his body is very weak to make an effort, he raised his head watching the stars sparkling brightly, replenished with a sudden wave of energy when he was reminded by the day he went out with his little loved one on a vacation to the mountains
"Mokuba!" he uttered his little brother's name desperate then turned on the KC broch pinned on his jacket collar and tried connecting with their private satellite
000000
Leaving them to reflect upon themselves in that calm and quiet place we return to the hustle and bustle of the big city where our friends have finished their breakfast and started duelling together on the phone while drinking some coffee or tea when suddenly the young CEO phone ringing cut their challenge, deep pale blue eyes widened as another mood swing struck him rather harder than the last one.
"Mokuba, are you alright?! Is something wrong!"
He nodded and picked up the call "greetings Mr. Kaiba, we are the surveillance department
"what's wrong you know that I am off today! "
"We are sorry but our satellite has caught a sign from the Andes mountain range, we are sure this time Sir, it's from our old signature specialized broches, no one Has it anymore but you and Mr. Seto"
"This is not the first time you call me for a fake sign! You fed me enough rubbish until this moment!"
"we will send you the data analysis, landforms and coordinates"
"Next time do it before calling"
"Sir! Open your email we have sent them"
Before he even got the chance to open the email, he heard another ringing tone, his fingers stopped moving as he is trying his best to believe his ears
"your second phone is ringing! "
his heart skipped a beat while he flipped the phone on the table and saw his brother's name and picture on the screen, he preserved his old sim card especially for one! he picked the call silently
"Mokuba, can you hear me? "
He bit his lip as pure tears started falling unconsciously "yes, I can hear you, big brother! "
These words left the violet-eyed youth shocked for a moment unable to react
"listen carefully Mokuba, something has happened and I couldn't return to our space station, we happened to land in the Andes mountain range, bring me a helicopter and send our private units"
Mokuba's voice cracked too shocked to stay calm "We!? Did he return with you? wait why do you need the private units; besides brother do you have any idea how long has it been?"
Seto "We will talk later! now just do as I tell you and bring the private units, I promise I will tell you everything when we meet up "
He hung up leaving the boys too stunned to move as many fuses burned in their brains right now
"This was Seto right!? When you mentioned someone returning, what did you mean!? Mokuba, you owe me an explanation!"
"my brother hung up, he hung up after four years of separation, Yugi my brother hung up! "
Violet eyes were dead silent thinking "Oh precious God! I was right Seto has been missing for four years!"
he shocked the idea away focusing on the crying mess in front of him, he stood up and went beside him then hugged him tightly trying desperately to get hold of the situation
"Please Mokuba calm down! your brother has just arrived maybe he is in a dire situation; he must have told you something right!"
Mokuba wiped his nose while more tears rolled down his face "yeah he asked for a helicopter and a private unit! "
Yugi swallowed hard hiding his worries, he kneeled down and wiped Mokuba tears putting a warm smile "why don't you take a deep breath, do what your brother told you, after that, you can do whatever you want, I'll stay with you till you get better, deal!? "
Mokuba sobbing "promise!?"
Yugi smiled "I promise! "
Mokuba nodded then did as told, after calming down and drinking water, he was better "he destroyed my dreams! I don't know shall I be happy or kill myself out of frustration"
Yugi begging gently "you know he never changes; you ultimately must be happy! now after your brother came back could you please tell me the whole story, nothing to hide anymore, right? "
Mokuba "you act as if you know nothing, while in fact, you know everything without even a word."
Yugi smiled proudly "you know I put a lot of pressure on you to speak but you never did, so of course, I'll be building my own theories, I am the king of games in case you forgot! "
Mokuba smiled despite himself; finally, he was ready to open up his heart to Yugi and tell him all he buried for four years, while the private units and the helicopter on their way to rescue their boss, Now that Seto Kaiba has returned everything should be put back to its original state right!?
