Chapter 10: Family Tears
(Jenrya: THANK YOU!!! *hugs reviewers* I am SO sorry, happytako, for using the cards wrong! -_-* I'm an idiot.....Anyway, Tear-Jerker, eh? I'll try my best to write better, less Seto filled chapters. *cough*sure*cough*maybe*cough*when*cough*Yugi*cough*grows)
Mokuba looked at Jounouchi, who was driving next to him. Mokuba frowned. 'He might not make it out of this....' He thought sadly. Jounouchi honked the car horn. "Damn! It's bumper to bumper for as far as I can see!" Mokuba looked out of the passenger window. "The hospital is a block away..." Mokuba said. "We could walk there." Yugi pointed out. "Fine." Jounouchi said, exiting his car. "But, your car–" "Eh, It'll get towed or something. Then it'll find it's way back to me." Jounouchi said with a smile.

"What room is Seto Kaiba in?" Mokuba asked the receptionist. "That's classified." "I'm his brother, Mokuba Kaiba." Mokuba said. "Oh. You're family. O.k, he's in room 84A." "Thanks!" Mokuba ran to the room, with Yugi and Jounouchi following close by.
Mokuba gasped when he saw his brother. His eyes were closed, and he was on an oxygen machine. He was still in his normal clothes, only his white trench coat was placed on the hanger. (A/N: He DOES have a coat like that. It's white, with red on the interior, with metal along the edge...E-Mail me to get a picture. ^_^) Mokuba stared at his brother. He burst into tears. He ran up to his brother and hugged him. Yugi shook his head sadly, and so did Jounouchi. Mokuba looked into his brothers face, which was paler then usual. He looked like he was relaxed, though. His hair was messy, and covered more of his face then usual. He was sweating. Mokuba noticed that the room was extremely hot. Jounouchi realized too, and turned the A.C on. Mokuba continued crying for several minutes. 'I never thought an item could rip a family apart...' Yugi told Yami. Yami Yugi sadly nodded. Suddenly, the doctor walked in the room. "Oh, you must be his family and friends. I'm Dr. Yushiko." Everyone in the room stared at the doctor. "Now, we think he'll get out of it, but it seems that there's some effect to his cerebellum. If whatever was causing his shock continued for a minute more, he would have gotten permanent brain damage. Does anyone know what caused it?" Everyone shook there heads. Mokuba rubbed Seto's hand affectionately. "It seems that isn't the first time he's been in a coma–" Dr. Yushiko looked up at Mokuba, who was shaking his head frantically. He didn't want Yugi and the others to know Seto had fallen in a coma three times before! The doctor stopped short. Yugi eyed Mokuba, who stared at his brother. "Seto–" "Yes. He was in a coma before." Mokuba bit his lip, forcing tears away. 'And one of them were because of you....'
Several hours passed, until Seto flinched. "What? I think he's waking up!" Dr. Yushiko said happily. Seto opened his eyes slightly. "Moku.....ba......" Seto said, forcing himself to say the word. "Doctor, I think they would like privacy, please." Honda said. The doctor respectively left. "Damn it, my head hurts...." Seto said, holding his head. He saw that he was on oxygen. He tore the mask off his face. "I got the rod!" Mokuba said. "Good. Now we could defeat the...." Seto weakly looked up at Yugi. "Leave, now." Seto said, weakly. "Hey! What's your problem! We're only here to help!" Jounouchi said. Seto shook his head. "Every since the millennium items have entered my life, it's been hell for me. You don't understand Yugi. Kaiba will not stop until I face him alone." "But Seto! He'll kill you!" Yugi said. Seto weakly shrugged. "Not if I duel him. I would win– Mokuba, were is my Blue–" Mokuba quickly handed it to Seto. "I gave you my Chinese version....how stupid of me." Seto said, running his finger around the rim of his beloved card. Mokuba frowned. Seto was acting strange today. But Mokuba quickly dusted it off, remembering that Seto had just woke up. Seto wouldn't take his eyes off his card. His strongest card....was defeated by Yugi Muuto..... Seto quickly put his card back in it's place. Yugi walked up to Seto, and Seto turned his head in the opposite direction, so they his eyes faced the window. "Hey, guys, would you mind if I talked to Seto alone?" Everyone respectively left the room. "Seto, I know how everything started for you....how you remembered everything, and why they caused you so much more pain then usual." Seto looked up at Yugi, with a sarcastic look on his face. "How?" "Because I beat you in a duel. Because the one thing that brought you countless hours of happiness....meant nothing to you after I beat you." Seto glared at Yugi. "If I wasn't so tired right now, I'd punch your face in!" Yugi walked back in shock. "Seto, I'm really sorry!" "Sure. I really don't care. You're doing all of this out of pity." Seto's glare became more ferocious. "Where's was pity when my mother died?! Where was pity when my father died?!! Where was pity when I was thrown in an orphanage?!!! WHERE WAS PITY WHEN I WAS FORCED TO BECOME HEAD OF KAIBA CORP AT FOURTEEN?!!!!!" Yugi stepped back again. He had never seen this side of Seto, a side that was dangerous, angry...... "I'm sorry Seto! But I had nothing to do with those things! Maybe if you opened up, and made friends–" "Friends? Friends? Look at this!" Seto lifted his sleeve. An ugly scar was to be seen at his shoulder. "Family is the greatest friend you could have right?! Then why did my greatest friend cause this-" He pointed to his shoulder. "And this?" Seto lifted his hair, and pointed to a scar on his neck. Yugi gasped. 'How could one person go through all this, Yami?' Yami Yugi sighed. 'He's hardly making it through. His Yami, Kaiba, seemed to have taken most of the pain. But without his Yami, he'll go crazy.' Yugi sighed. 'Seto was a very bright and happy child. But...he suffered.' Yami said quietly.

"Fill out these papers, and you could go home." Dr. Yushiko said. Seto looked at the paper, and once he filled it out it looked like this:

Seto glared at the paper. He gave the paper to the doctor, and noticed nine more papers on the table, with dumb questions like, "Favorite Color", which was dark blue, and, "Hobbies" which was Duel Monsters. Seto looked at his watch. It was Midnight! And Yugi had never left, even though Jounouchi, Honda, and Anzu did. Yugi had fallen asleep though. Seto told Mokuba a few minutes ago to go wake Yugi up. Mokuba did as he was told. Seto became impatient. He went to get Yugi himself, and nearly tripped over Yugi! Yugi looked up at Seto. Seto just turned and continued filling papers out. The doctor dropped the paper Seto gave him. Yugi picked it up and skimmed it. 'Severe injury to the body....eighteen times?!' He returned the paper to the doctor. Seto finally filled out the last question, which was, "What band is your favorite?", and he wrote, "Field of View". Yugi stared at Seto for several seconds. Seto grabbed Mokuba hand, and tugged Mokuba toward his body. Mokuba looked up at his brother, who motioned his head to the paper. The question was, "Cause of Parent Death". Seto then nudged his head toward Yugi. Mokuba understood that Seto didn't want Yugi to be in the room at this moment.

Mokuba put his headphones on as he waited with Yugi in the waiting room. Mokuba turned on his C.D. Yugi looked at Mokuba, and pulled Mokuba's headphones off. "Why does your brother hate us? I mean, why does he hate Jounouchi, and Honda, and Anzu, and me?" Mokuba eyes quickly darted toward the wall. "Please, stay away from him. He doesn't want friends. I know he needs them, but he hates other people. He hates everyone but me. Seto always ruffles my hair, and cooks for me, and makes sure I get all the help in math I need....and he always tells me that I'm the only thing keeping him alive." "You didn't answer my question." Yugi said. "It's.....his....old Yami. Kaiba. He would put all these false statements in his head." Mokuba said, sadly. "But his Yami separated– Oh my god!" Yugi felt a deep pain in his heart, as he suddenly realized what had happened to Seto. Seto had been taken over by his Yami.

Kaiba looked up at Bakura, huffing and puffing. "He fought back a lot harder then I thought.....he seems to still have his judo...." Malik stared at Kaiba. "But did you.....?" Kaiba smiled, and lifted the rod as he became Seto. "Does this answer your question?" Malik and Bakura both smiled and nodded.
(Jenrya: I AM SOOOOO SORRY!! I was really busy!!!! *bows* Sorry! It's short and to the point, I know....It will be ever so sader....And it will end in two or three chapters. Sad or happy ending? *Points to sad* Oh, come on! I'm doing a poll! Happy or sad ending?)
