****************************************

Review responses:

Zucool: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! THE FIRST REVIWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did that wake ya up? ^+^

Daricio: Well Kamilah tries to get me to take them, but I resist her!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Sometimes, if I'm totally unbearable, then Yami will change into his tight leather outfit and while I'm standing there drooling, Kamilah tricks me into taking them. T_T Anyway, thankies for being the second reviewer of the story!!!!! MWAUGH! And I bet you do see what's going to happen....it's a teensy bit obvious. Even though Kirstie *points down* keeps threatening to tell you the ending.....I told it to her so that she wouldn't kill me for what happens to her bishie, Malik.

BMMW: o_O Did C. Malik get in your Pop Rocks or something? AND THE WHOLE BB THING IS SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET!!!!! AND SO IS THE ENDING!!!!!!! Poo- head......

'blah' thoughts

*~*Flashback*~* or *~*End flashback*~* Kind of self-explanatory, I guess.

**********************************

"What are you doing here?" Kaiba asked, clutching Mokuba tightly. "I thought you were dead."

"Seto....who is that....?" Mokuba whimpered, clutching his brother.

"Don't you remember me, Mokuba?" the man said, in a very fake cheerful voice. "I'm your dad, Yukio Kane!"

"Leave Mokuba alone," Kaiba said dangerously.

"Why so cold, Seto?" Yukio said smoothly. "I'm just here to collect something that belongs to me."

"What would that be?" Kaiba spat, although he had an idea of what it was.

"Mokuba."

**********************************

Malik was becoming even quieter and he was very jumpy. At first, Kaya was concerned for her best friend, but she realized that he must be stressed out, after coming to Domino High. She sure was; it was hard to get used to.

That's what she kept telling herself, but she knew deep down it wasn't true.

*********************************

"Mokuba does not belong to you!" Kaiba shouted, although he knew that wasn't true.

*~*Flashback*~*

"SETO! GET BACK HERE!!!"

The terrified 5-year-old ran through the rain-soaked streets, clutching his baby brother close to his chest.

He had to get out of there. His mother was dead, his father hated him......hit him.......there was no telling what he would do to his brother......

5-year-old Seto Kane (What? His last name's not Kaiba yet) collapsed on in an alley, and the baby in his arms stirred.

"It's alright, Mokuba...." he whispered. "Don't cry...." Very softly, he began to sing a lullaby his mother used to sing for him.

*~*End flashback*~*

Kaiba stared at Yukio, who was smirking.

"Big brother, what's he mean?!" Mokuba panicked.

"You do not belong to your brother, Mokuba. You belong with me," Yukio replied. "He is not your legal guardian."

"Seto Kaiba, you're under arrest for the kidnapping of Mokuba Kaiba."

Yukio smirked, as policemen entered the room and handcuffed Kaiba.

"Setooo!" Mokuba wailed, as one of the cops led him away.

*********************************

"I'm going out for a minute, Isis!"

"Malik, where are you going?"

"Nowhere! I'm just going out for a little bit!" Malik said hotly. His hand had touched the doorknob, but Isis reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"There is something you are not telling me," she said calmly, her blue eyes meeting his lavender ones.

"There is nothing wrong!" Malik shouted, shoving her away and running outside.

Isis stood stunned in the doorway.

********************************

"No school tomorrow!" Kaya said happily, flopping down on the couch at Yugi's house. They were staying up late, and it was now nearly 11:30.

Then the phone rang.

Kaya picked it up. "Hello?" It was Isis on the other line, and in the background Kaya could hear sirens. Isis sounded calm, but it was sort of a deadly calm, like the calm before a storm.

"Kaya........I called because I wanted to let you know......Malik ran out this evening, and when he didn't come back I called the police."

"Did they find out where he went?" Kaya said, her voice low and urgent. Yugi (and Yami, although he was in his transparent form) looked up at her.

"Yes.....but he's dead."

Kaya's eyes widened and she stared at the phone. "What.....?" she whispered.

"Malik is dead. He jumped off the bridge," Isis repeated.

"No.....no, Malik is not dead......"

"He's dead, Kaya. He killed himself."

"NO NO NO NOOOO!!!!!!!"

Kaya dropped the phone and tore up the stairs.

************************************

Mojobubbles: Heh, that's how Malik died. He committed suicide.

Kaiba: Not to mention I was arrested.....

Mojobubbles: *grins*

Inuyasha: Hey, they told you this was gonna be an angsty story......
