Chapter 6: The Hard Times In Life
(Jenrya: I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, and a big 'hi-es' to Jessica! ^o^ Has anyone noticed Kids WB is showing re-runs?!!!! THE SERIES IS LONG ENOUGH!!! The series is like.....68 episodes? It's around 60 to 70 episodes..... I'm running out of ideas for this story! I'm sorry the last chapter took so long to put up! I was spending vacation sleeping....Well, read on! ^_~)
Seto slowly walked toward the Rod, and closed the door. Kaiba was locked in the bathroom, so that he wouldn't go on a rampage through the house. Seto ripped the violet curtains off the 'rod' that held it. (A/N: You know, curtains are sometimes held by this rod and you put the curtain on it and....) It looked almost exactly like the Millennium Rod. Seto shakily wrapped his fingers around the fake gold rod, smiling. He looked out the window, frowning. It was snowing. The white snow made the Kaiba Mansion look like the most beautiful thing ever. 'But no one will never know of the permanent damage this place has inflicted on souls......' Seto looked out of the window again. Seto sat near the window, silently crying. (A/N: I'm aware that Seto would NEVER cry, but this is the pure, good half. And the full Seto is going through hard times....) Seto got up, and opened the bathroom lock. He handed Kaiba the fake Rod, frowning to add drama to the scene. Kaiba smugly smiled, and opened the window, but before the jumped out, he turned to look at Seto, who had his face turned, frowning. Kaiba merely shrugged and got away. Seto sadly walked to his office, taking out the last family picture his whole family ever took. 'Our family was never complete.....' Seto quickly put the picture back, and turned to look at the window.

Anzu sat impatiently in the Kaiba living room, looking at the various things that was hung on the walls. She noticed the house was nice, with the right color mixtures. Anzu noticed the house was bright, even though the owner of it was as black as coal.... Yugi looked at his watch. "I'm worried." Yugi said, looking around for Seto. "'Ni-San is in his office, I bet!" Mokuba said, nodding. He ran up the stairs, slightly frightened. Jounouchi looked at Yugi. "Why should we help Kaiba?!" Jounouchi asked angered. "Were not helping Kaiba. Were helping Seto. Two different people." Yugi stated firmly. Anzu was worried. "Two different people in the same body. Yugi, we should just get away as–" Anzu heard quiet arguing a few feet away, around the wall. Anzu looked at Jounouchi, Honda, and Yugi, who all quickly got what she meant. They started spying.....
"You can't stop me." Seto said firmly. Mokuba sadly noticed the flicker in Seto's eyes were slowly disappearing. "Why do you want to be part of him again?" Mokuba asked. "Because I can't deal with it anymore." Seto said. Mokuba noticed Seto's eyes quickly lost there glow, but it came back. "I'm leaving for awhile. I have to clear up my head, Mokuba." Seto said, smiling warmly. Mokuba didn't like how Seto's eyes changed from good to evil every so often. Seto turned his head toward the door. "Mokuba, I'm sorry." Seto said, hugging his brother. "Nii-San! Onni-San! Please...." Mokuba;s face reddened. "I love you...." Seto said, kissing the top of Mokuba's head lightly. He ruffled Mokuba's hair gently, and headed for the door.
Yugi gasped. He started heading for the door, but Mokuba stopped him. "It's meant to be done alone..." Mokuba said, sadly. Mokuba watched his brother lock the door, who tighten his jacket in the freezing cold weather. Nii-San.....You always grew up around the cold.....And I complain about my life.....Make your journey a safe one.....

Seto drove his car through the town, looking in the mirror. He slowly sighed. He put the heat on. 'Why me, damn it!' Seto thought, looking through the streets for a certain green haired person. Seto had hid the rod in a deep room that only Mokuba knew the password to. 'No! How could I forget that! Mokuba isn't safe!' Seto quickly did an illegal U-turn. But Kaiba was sitting on the front of the car, glaring at Seto. "I tried chasing those stilts of yours, Seto. But chasing your car is so very much easier." Kaiba lifted the fake rod. "I'm not a fool. I can sense that it's not real, to." Kaiba looked meanly at Seto. He lifted the fake rod, and tried to break the window, with little success. 'I inserted those bullet-proof windows so that no one would kill me, not because I might kill myself!' Seto looked up at Kaiba, who continued to glare at Seto. "I part of you....you can't do ANYTHING to get me off your back!" Kaiba laughed evilly. He tried to use dark magic, but it failed. "Wha–" "I talked to Yugi about that. You can't use dark magic, and neither can I. But I can do something else." Seto said, smiling. "Oh? What is that?" Kaiba demanded. Seto turned the car on, and started driving. Kaiba held on to the window wipers. Seto turned those on to. "Damn you!" Kaiba held on tightly to the top of the car. Seto just continued driving away from the Kaiba Mansion.

Yami Yugi looked around the Kaiba Mansion. He had transformed a short while before. He was worried. Someone, he didn't know who, was in danger. But no one in the house was in danger, so that left Kaiba and Seto. And now Yugi only had to worry about ½ of a person being killed, since Yugi did not care for Kaiba. Mokuba laid on the sofa, softly snoring. Yami Yugi frowned at Mokuba. The poor boy..... Anzu came back, smiling happily as she held a plate of snacks and hot cocoa. Anzu placed the tray down, and slowly shook the sleeping Mokuba, who opened his eyes. Anzu pointed to the food. Mokuba got up, and stuffed all the chocolate cookies in his mouth. Jounouchi and Honda glared at Mokuba. "We like chocolate to!" The two chorused. Mokuba shrugged, and stuffed another cookie in his mouth. "You sure do have a lot of chocolate cookies...." Yami said, as he transformed back into Yugi. "Seto buys them for me at a local bakery. He usually sneaks in two or three vanilla cookies for himself, though!" Mokuba said, laughing. "Mokuba, do you guys have any family pictures?" Anzu asked, staring sadly at Mokuba. Mokuba frowned. He shook his head. "Me and mom were never.....well, she died once I was born so.....mom's in none of the pictures with me, and vice-versa. Sometimes, Seto tells me stories about her." Mokuba said, staring at the ceiling. "What was she like?" Anzu asked. Mokuba's eyes started to water up a bit. "She was tall, as tall as Seto. She had my eyes, but Seto's hair. And our dad had Seto's eyes and my hair. She was really pretty." Mokuba said, sighing. Mokuba looked at Yugi. "I'm going to use Seto's computer! It may give us clues!" Mokuba ran to Seto's room.

"STOP THIS CAR!!!!!" Kaiba said, still hanging on for dear life. Surprising, no policemen, or policewomen, were chasing after them. Seto remembered he had a convertible, and removed his roof, which Kaiba was holding on to. Kaiba let go, and fell hard to the ground. Kaiba glared at Seto, while holding on to his wrist. Kaiba saw Bakura in the distance, mocking and laughing at him. "You lost your touch." Bakura said, looking at Kaiba, who kicked Bakura in the shins after that comment. 'I'll get you Seto!'

"Preforming retina scan.......beep!" Seto's computer said. "Mokuba Kaiba. You have limited access. Continue?" "Yep, continue." "Syntax error. Rephrase please." "Yes, continue." "Place index finger in scanner, please." Mokuba let the computer scan his finger. "Scan completed. Thank you for waiting. 600 files are viewable." The computer said. "Let me see them all." Mokuba said. Anzu, Jounouchi, and Honda awed; impressed. The computer showed the files category:
1 VIDEO FOUND
112 IMAGES
175 WRITTEN DOCUMENTS
185 GRAPHS, CHARTS, ETC.
60 EXCLUSIVE KAIBA CORPORATION FILES
67 EXCLUSIVE SETO KAIBA FILES
Mokuba looked through the 'Exclusive Seto Kaiba' files. A 'Password Required' window opened. Mokuba sat there thinking. He typed in, 'Turmoiled Seahorse'. A window popped up, saying, 'Nice try Mokuba. I love you, but don't try to stop me!' Mokuba slammed his fist against the table as the computer immediately crashed. "No.....Seto...NO!!" Mokuba started to cry. Yugi gently patted the poor boy on his back. "We'll find you're brother. Don't worry about it."
(Jenrya: And that's the end of that chapter. Now, I've got stuff to do, so my story writing will be postponed as of next week for approximately a week or so. And, if I don't get more reviews I will NOT finish this fic!! I would like to thank the people who reviewed!)
