Chapter #5
"Is it really you Seto?" Yami sat up and lit a lantern. "Yes Yami, it's me." Yami couldn't contain his excitement. He jumped out of his bed and embraced his friend. To Yami's surprise Seto Hugged him back. It was about five in the morning so Yami decided not to go back to sleep. He got dressed and he and Seto went to the Throne Room to talk.
*7:00 a.m. Throne Room*
Unnoticed by Yami or Seto, Johan walked into the Throne Room. Johan didn't recognize the man Yami was talking and laughing with, so he didn't disrupt them. Instead he eavesdropped.
"Do you remember the time we broke into the ceremonial wine vat?" Seto asked laughed, sipping his wine. "Yeah...we were like what...eleven?" "Oh, and then we decided to get something to eat... ." "...but we were so wasted that we started eating all of the food off the offering table..." "...no one would have known it was us if Mokuba didn't tell on us..." "So that's who you are..." Johan said as he walked out of the shadows, cutting Seto off, "Your Mokuba's older brother, aren't you?" Seto lowered his head in sadness and then replied sadly, "Yes, I am. Although I have not seen my brother in six years." Yami and Johan could have sworn they saw a tear roll down his cheek. "Ra...I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you..." Yami said sighing. "You mean you have new of Mokuba?" Seto's voice was full of hope and anticipation. "Well after you left..." Yami started, "...I took him in. And since his ninth birthday he has been studding under my head priest, Shiro." Seto was speechless. All these years he just assumed Mokuba had been dead, but on the contrary, he has been living in the Egyptian Palace studding to be a priest like himself and their father. "Well, where is he now?!" asked Seto anxious to see his baby brother. "Don't worry, he and Shiro are out on official business, but they'll be back in a week or two." Yami couldn't help but laugh at his friends excitement, he seem not to have changed much in Yami's eyes Johan didn't trust this guy. So he proceeded to give him the third degree, "So, Seto is it? What brings you back after all these years?" "Well, an associate and I have business in town..." Johan didn't let him finish instead he interrupted, "So after all these years you are just now coming back, and for business?" Seto seemed to be caught off guard with the question. He slowly walked over to the window and gazed at the busy street below. His face was now tear-streaked but he didn't want them to see so he turned his back to them and spoke. "My father passed away not long ago, so i decided it was safe to came...home. Well my only true home." Yami walked to Johan, "Johan, could you leave us alone for a while? Seto and I need to talk, privately." he whispered. Johan nodded understandingly, and left.
"Seto, we have to bring it up eventually." "Yes, I suppose we do." "What happened that night?" Seto didn't move, he just stood there, staring out the window. Then he started.
"My father and I went to the hall that night, he told me to go ahead and sit, and that if he didn't get back when it was over to go home with out him. After that arrow took you father's life, I got scared so I went to look for my father. I didn't find him, so I went home. A few hours later he came home and said we had to leave, and that you wanted him dead." Seto still didn't move. "I know this is hard, but did your father ever tell you what happened?" "About two years ago my father told me all that happened that night. He also told me that a part of him died too that night. The man you saw him duel ordered your father to be killed. One of his minions went to the balcony and killed your father." "Seth didn't kill my father?! Then why did Pegasus say that he did? And why did he run if he wasn't guilty?!" this was very upsetting to Yami, 'If Seth didn't kill my father who did?!' "Seto, why did you run if he wasn't guilty?!"
Seto clinched his fists and spoke calmly, so he wouldn't sound angry, "I didn't say he wasn't guilty. He knew that man was going to kill your father, but he didn't even try to stop him." Yami was taken aback. Seto continued, "Pegasus was blackmailing my father. Pegasus told him to take blame or he would tell you about my father's past. He was so afraid that you would find out, it made him sink into a deep depression. He never came out. The last thing that my father asked of me was to ask for your forgiveness." Seto closed his eyes to hold back his tears. Yami could see his friend was hurting, so he went and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. They stood there in silence and watched the sun set. All that need to be said had already been said. So the two just stood there in silence.
