Ieyre: Hi again...well, I gotta keep this one short, as the last intro was a BIT too long.
Yami Ieyre: A bit? *snorts* Understatement of the year...
Ieyre: *glares at INCREDIBLY annoying Yami* Well, anyway, thanks Brood Mayran and setoobsessed for reviewing chapter one. Setoobsessed, I LOVE your name!
Yami Ieyre: You would. *reads chapter two so far* Hey, I'm not INCREDIBLY annoying!
Ieyre: *Grins* Now, to chapter two!
Disclaimer: Mokuba: Ieyre does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, whoever it was that made we so KAWAII does ^_^!
Joey: Yeah...what he said.

"Mokuba...oh, Mokuba, you've grown up so much! What happened to you and-"
"Ella, what's going on?" Yugi interrupted. He and his group of friends all were very confused. Why had this strange new girl suddenly hugged Mokuba? "How do you know Mokuba?"
"Yugi, you don't have to call me Ella. My full name is Adele Sinclair. I just have people call my Ella...Because 'Adele' brings back memories...painful ones. My adopted parents liked Ella better, besides. They've practically forgotten my real name anyway."
//Painful memories?// Yami thought.
"And I know this little one," She gestured to Mokuba, "Because we grew up together at the D.C.O."
Mokuba grew pale at the mention of the three letters.
"D.C.O? What's that?" asked Tea, in bewilderment.
Mokuba bit his lip anxiously, large gray eyes getting wide, almost pleading with Adele to not answer Tea.
/Yami, Mokuba...he looks so afraid./ Yugi was talking to Yami again
//Yes, Yugi. I have a feeling that Adele will be able to tell us some things about him that Mokuba does not want us to know.//
/Why would Mokuba not want us to know something?/
//No Yugi, you're right. Not Mokuba...Mokuba has opened to you and me. It's the elder Kaiba I fear that has been holding out on us...//
Adele didn't notice Mokuba's expression she seemed so excited.
"D.C.O.? Why, it's Domino Children's Orphanage, of course! Mokuba and I grew up there together!"
****************************
[Ieyre: You think I should stop right here? People reading: NO! Evil authoress! If you stop here you die! Ieyre: *cowers* Okay...]
"WHAT???? MOKUBA, YOU GREW UP IN AN ORPHANAGE????" Joey, Tristin, Bakura and Tea were all completely speechless, gaping at the little boy. Yugi had called Yami, who was the most shocked.
Mokuba stared guiltily at his feet. Yami Yugi gently placed his hand on the boy's chin and raised it to look into the boy's wide eyes. Mokuba gulped at Yami's stern gaze.
"Mokuba..." he started gently, "Why did you not tell us that you were an...an orphan?"
Tears filled those innocent eyes again.
"I never told you because...because..."
"Yes...?
"Because...ummmmmmm...I thought you...didn't care! That's it, I thought you didn't care!" Mokuba shiftily avoided Yami's gaze. Somehow he found his way back to it, however.
"Mokuba...you can tell me the truth...your brother didn't want us to know, did he? Is THAT it, Mokuba?" Yami spoke softly.
Mokuba's face gave the impression that he was about to defend his brother once again, but he caught Yami's gaze. [Ieyre: Yami is a child abuser! DIIIIE! *cough* um...sorry about that...]
"Yes...Seto always says...he says that when you tell people you're...an orphan...they pity you. People think you are weak...parentless, unable to do something right just because you have no parents! People feel sorry for orphans, Yugi! Weakness is something my big brother fears above all others...he wants to prove that he's strong, able to take care of himself ever since..." Mokuba suddenly blanched as if he had said something he had meant not to. He had poured out his heart to Yugi, said things that he had wanted to say for so long...but had never had the courage to. And in his speech he had slipped up.
"Since what, Mokuba?" asked Bakura urgently.
"Yeah Mokuba, what?" repeated Joey.
Mokuba turned away from them all, clutching the locket around his neck.
"I can't...I can't tell you! That would be giving away our biggest family secre-" He slipped up again in anger.
"What secret? Mokuba, please, tell me...I want to help you." Yami's eyes had softened again.
"Yugi...I can't tell you...I was very young. I don't remember everything. If you really want to know...you're going to have to persuade Seto to tell you." Mokuba had a grave look on his face.
Adele was standing, dumbfounded, next to them all, not truly understanding what they were talking about.
"Mokuba...when you say Seto do you mean MY Seto?" She asked finally, to everyone else's surprise.
Mokuba smiled brightly again.
"Yes, Addy! Seto and I both found a home together. We're not apart and we never will be!"
"So, the Tyzaki brothers finally found their 'home together', aye? I knew Seto would never leave that orphanage without you. He was so stubborn...when all those parents saw how bright he was..."
Mokuba lowered his eyes again.
/Did she say...Tyzaki?/
//Yes Yugi...I don't know what she meant...//
Joey was confused. Oooooo, big surprise, there.
"Wait a minute...I don't understand! What'ya mean by MY Seto? An' Tyzaki...what-"
Mokuba's eyes widened and he pointed behind them all.
"Guys...I think you're about to find out..."
A long smooth black limousine pulled up in front of the deserted arcade.
//Seto Kaiba's got some things to answer to...and I think that we're about to find out what they are, Yugi.//
****************************
Ieyre: Okay, that was probably pretty confusing, I know. So, I'll just condense it for your enjoyment:
So, Mokuba meets Adele. But NOT for the first time. It seems she was at the same Orphanage as him and Seto, and was very close to hie, judging by the affection. And *gasp* Yugi and co. find out that the Kaiba brothers' are orphans! They should already know it, but they're all thick anyway, at least in this story. So Yami comes out to interrogate Mokuba about why he kept it a secret from them. Yami had guessed that Seto had had something to do with Mokuba's secret, as Mokuba is not afraid to go to him and Yugi and they're friends for help. Mokuba VERY reluctantly admits that his brother told him not to tell anyone because he believes being an orphan shows weakness and he wants no pity. Well, that's what Seto TOLD him; that doesn't mean he was necessarily thinking it.
So than, surprisingly enough, Adele asks Mokuba if they are all referring to "her" Seto, and he begins to reply about how they had FINALLY found a home together. Joey wants some answers about the whole thing, and guess what should happen to pull up? Why, the Kaiba corp. company limo. What a koinky-dink. So, maybe Yami will FINALLY find out all the junk he wants to know about Kaiba...I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
Yami Ieyre: That was really bad, you do realize that, don't you?
Ieyre: Yes, I'm aware. This is kinda rushed, sorry, it's just that I really want to write some good chapters for the memories part (You'll find out what that is later ^-^), so I need to pump these babies out! I'm not going to post the other, GOOD chapters until I get some feedback. So, R&R if you want some more of the sex god (Seto-kun). Buh-bye!
Yami Ieyre: Bye, stupid mortal girls...Who else would be reading this drivel, anyway?
Yami Ieyre: A bit? *snorts* Understatement of the year...
