[Proceed With Self Examination]
"I Kaiba Seto, am diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder. I Kaiba Seto, have insisted all my life, that the past means nothing to me. I was wrong, it does. It's the reason I'm here now, making this blasted cassette. So...when I'm gone maybe some of me will still be left here, and everyone will know what I've been through. What I've accomplished. All in all this is some sort of twisted suicide note, one that I don't have time to write, only speak."
[Elapse Of Time]
"I...I think it best that I start from the beginning. My parents.....I barely remember them at all. I've forgotten what it was like to be with them, I've forgotten what it was like to be innocent. To not have a care in the world, to always know that someone would be there for me. My mother, she...she passed away giving birth to my brother Mokuba, and my father died in a car accident shortly after. Mokuba didn't have any memory of them, perhaps that's for the best though. I remember when I found out the news, back then...I was still able to cry. Heh, no one wanted us, not even our own relatives. They rejected us, two innocent children. They deprived us of a decent life, with warmth and happiness. They let us go to the public orphanage, it seemed we could have died along with our parents. And they wouldn't have cared the least."
[Movement Detected]
"No one wanted to adopt Mokuba, but ah yes. Many parents were interested in adopting me, a so called genius. I could never convince one to adopt Mokuba as well, no matter how hard I tried. And so...I stayed with him and the other children at the orphanage, waiting for the perfect mom, dad, anyone who was interested in taking us both. I couldn't have left Mokuba there, it was my duty to protect him...and I've carried out that duty...that is until now."
[Laughter]
"But then of course....then comes the day when he comes waltzing in...the day Gozaburo came into our lives...the day I sold myself into a world of pain."

A/N: Now it's a little more clear, it's just Kaiba talking now, although we shall get back to exactly who 'Shade' is soon enough. On that note Dissociative Identity Disorder, is when a person develops a personality, or multiple personalities on their own, due to events that may have happened in their life. Forgive me for being so bland, I don't want to give anything away in this story. ^^;;;
The reason why it's 'Kaiba Seto' in this fanfiction, instead of 'Seto Kaiba' is because in Japan you say your last name first, in case that wasn't clear to some of the readers.
Thanks to all the reviewers, I'm glad some people are reading this story :P
