~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wind rushed passed Seto as he perched, teetering precariously, upon the edge of the cliff. He glanced down, despite his iron resolve not to do so. The river was a long way down It appeared as a blue jagged line against the red rock of the cliff face. He wondered, with a kind of grim resignation, who'd they find to replace him as CEO of Kaiba Corp. How long would it take them to learn of his death anyway? Mokuba was the rightful heir to the corporation be sure, but he didn't trust that the board members wouldn't evade even that claim. They'd done it before. He was sure that they'd find some clever way to cheat his little brother out of the position. He was equally confident however, that Mokuba had learned enough to enable him to stand his ground and assume control. And besides, Mokuba often had more sense than he, himself did, especially when it came to business; so he wasn't worried. He was going to miss Mokuba a lot, he resigned. He hoped that Mokuba would understand why this had to be. Mokuba had and would always mean the world to him. He wished now that he'd had the chance to say a final goodbye to his little brother, but that hadn't exactly been an option.

Besides, Seto told himself, tears welling in his eyes, Mokuba was old enough to take care of himself now. It wasn't as if he needed Seto around to protect him from bullies anymore, as he had in years past. Mokuba possessed the skills to deal with the world on his own now. He could effectively stand his ground. Still, Seto knew that they'd miss each other all the sameThey'd always been one; always been united; the Kaiba brothers. "Good luck kid," he muttered, wiping tears from his streaming eyes,. He wished that it hadn't come to this, hoped that she understood why this had to be as well as Mokuba. He loved Tea deeply, and hoped she knew that. He hoped that she wouldn't feel the need resort to this as he had. But she had her friends; he'd always been alone. Solitude had always been his lot, he conceded, why should his death be any different? Still, he wished that Mokuba could be here now with him. He was utterly abandoned, alone

But was he really alone? He whirled about face, sensing eyes watching him from somewhere near by. He scanned the hillside, his raptor glance penetrating the landscape. Who was spying on him, and why? His intuitions about these kinds of things were never wrong; he'd learned to trust his feelings. They'd saved his life many times before now, as well as that of his little brother. Someone was out there, that he knewbut who? And why were they here?

The answer to his query became apparent almost immediately after. A form rose from the tall grass. His eyes went wide. He knew whom he thought he saw, but that was impossible. He couldn't be here! His jaw dropped a considerable distance in shock and horror. It was indeed true. He didn't know how or why he'd come, but it was the unmistakable gate of that pathetic hack, Joey Wheeler. He wasn't sure weather this revelation made him feel better or worse. Joey made his way down the lawn and leaned against a nearby tree, approaching him.

"I'm glad I got such a warm reception from you, Kaiba," the blonde grinned, "At least you remember me" he mused, "Suppose that's something."

"What do you want Wheeler?" Kaiba asked, unsure as to the boy's motives.

"Do I gotta have a reason?" Joey drawled, grin forever fixed upon his features. Seto simply glared at him. "Maybe I just wanted to come down here and thank you for taking care of Tea for us. I can do that, can't I? Not illegal yet, is it?" he asked, rather sardonically, raising his brows.

"You're welcome." Seto barked sharply, more so, infact than he'd intended. He turned back to face the cliff and the drop below.

"Uh, Kaiba, if I may ask? What exactly are you doing?" that boy did not know when to quit. Kaiba turned about, once again, to face him.

"It's really none of your concern." He commented, coldly, glaring.

"Really now? Cuz from here, it looks to me like you're gonna jump"

"And what if I am?"

"You are!?'

"Maybe I am, so what?"

"Then I'd say you're not who I thought you were. You're just a coward then."

"Excuse me?"

"You're just a coward. Instead of facing your problems, you're running from them. You're takin the easy way out. I can't stand people who don't hold their ground! That's what being a true duelist and champion is. You should know that. You have to face your opponent. You have to have to keep it up even when things get tough, because they're bound to get better."

"You think this is easy?" Seto wanted to slap Wheeler, "What would you know about dueling anyway, Wheeler?" he glared.

"Plenty! Might I remind you that I came in second at the Duelist Kingdom tournament; came in second while somebody's soul was trapped in a frigin card!"

"That was a lucky shot. Besides, we've already tested that theory, and last time I left you cowering on the ground like the pathetic dog you were then and still are now."

"See Kaiba, that's your problem. You don't care about anybody but yourself!"

"That's not true! I care about Mokuba! I risked my soul to get his back!" Seto had become abruptly defensive.

"That you did."

"TeaI care about her too."

"Awww! You do have feelings for her! That's so sweet! She likes you a lot too!" Joey grinned sheepishly.

"Wheeler, get out of my face!"

"All I can say is, if you go through with this, you're not the duelist I thought you were. You're justa punk! Don't you care about Mokuba? How could you do this to him!"

"I have my reasons."

"I hope they're good ones, cuz you're about to screw your little bro over big time. I'd never have the heart to do that to my lil sis, Serenity. Just think about it Kaiba!" Joey turned on his heal and headed up the bank.

"Wheeler, wait." Seto called. Joey heard him and whirled around to face him once again, "T-thanks." He managed. Wheeler grinned and continued on his way. The next second he had vanished without a trace. Seto stared, dumbfounded as he scanned the area. Wheeler was no where to be found. It was as if he'd simply vanished. It was impossible.

Find Tea! Tell her how you feel before it's too late! he'd learned to trust in his notions. Without further ado, he sprinted the length of the trail back to the mansion. He knew somehow that he was needed in the mansion. He couldn't believe that Wheeler of all people had convinced him not to jump. But he was glad he hadn't now. Because, as much as he hated to admit it, the boy had a point. It was a long shot, but Wheeler might just be right.
