Yay! Reviews! Time to reply.
RedDragon4- Ooowww! Well, thanks, even if you did bonk me. : )
SoulDreamer- Awww.. Well, thanks!
InsanityEternal- Well, here. *hands InsanityEternal seventy-two cans of soda, filled with sugar* . You'll need it. : )
Lanlan- Aww, thanks!
Misura- Thank you. As for my being a bit hard on the side-characters, I did it to create reasons for Seto to search for his true family and Yami to offer Yuugi help. Sparks these shounen-ai couples, after all. :)
Aoi Shidou- Hey, thank you!

Sunlight reflected off of Seto Kaiba's watch as he stood outside the city hospital. Dressed in a suit that was now cleaned and pressed, Kaiba had abandoned his post as C.E.O. to visit his ailing brother. He now looked as sharp and efficient as he always did. A hot shower had washed away the drunken feeling of last night, and made him as new. Those thoughts about that Yami still lingered in the back of his head, though he paid no heed to it as he walked on..
Now, he only thought about visiting his ailing brother Mokuba. Shortly after his drunken ramblings, a call had come, stating that Mokuba was in worser condition than ever. It might be that they needed to operate; Kaiba had rushed over there with all due speed, intending to make sure that his brother was fine no matter what. If Mokuba was in this bad a condition, it was clear that he would have to find their true family, for the both of them.
Seto Kaiba walked up the steps of the hospital, determined to make sure that Mokuba would meet some others who truly cared for and loved him. The two brothers had each other, and only each other- they wanted someone else to have, someone who could love the both of them, someone who could like them for who they were.
He was just about to open the hospital door, when he felt someone tap his shoulders. A somewhat gruff voice, almost barking, sounded out from behind him. " Hey, can you move? "
Kaiba whirled about to see who it was, and saw Katsuya Jounouchi standing before him. Addressing the blond-haired boy dressed in T-shirt and shorts, he said " Be polite for once, you pathetic dog. " Always would Kaiba take the chance to insult Yuugi's friend.
That same person stood behind him, Puzzle hanging off his neck, along with their friend; Anzu Mazaki, a young girl with light brown hair and blue eyes whom Kaiba only saw as cheerleader for Yuugi. He had no idea where that other friend of Yuugi's was, but he cared little.
Jounouchi's blood, meanwhile, still boiled from Seto Kaiba's insult. He stepped forward, fists almost raised to begin a fight. " Kaiba. " he said, menacingly.
Seto Kaiba glared at the angry boy, affecting an air of indifference. " Yes? "
Jounouchi had been pushed past the breaking point more than once, enough so that he was desperate to wound the young CEO for a change- phyisically or emotionally. He tried to muster up enough force into his threat, but came out with a simple and pathetic " I'm warning you. "
Kaiba chuckled at the clichéd phrase. " Be quiet, small fry. "
By now, Jounouchi was burning mad, enough so that he almost sprung forward to deliver a punch. Yuugi ran in front of the two, however, trying to intervene. " Jounouchi, please, don't! " cried Yuugi.
Jounouchi responded. " Yuugi, Kaiba deserves this! " said he, ready to spring forward and strike.
Kaiba smirked. " Pathetic dog. You're overreacting to a simple insult. "
Jounouchi had relaxed himself, but was almost prepared to strike again when Yuugi tried to speak in an attempt to stop the argument. "Kaiba-kun, what are you doing here? " asked he, changing the subject.
Seto Kaiba gave a simple answer. " Visiting my brother. Are you here for that purpose too? " He knew that Yuugi and co. had been friends with his brother for a short while, and they had been concerned about Mokuba's well being when he had taken ill.
Yuugi answered. " No. We are here to visit my grandfather. He's in the hospital. " A bit of sadness crept into his voice at this.
" Oh. " muttered Kaiba. He really cared little about the whole situation; all he wanted to do was see Mokuba. Turning around, he prepared to open the door, when Jounouchi spoke again.
" So, why are you here, Kaiba? " said the ever-rude Jounouchi. Whirling around, Kaiba spoke.
" To visit my brother, Mokuba. " With little remark, he whirled around again, opening the door and finally entering the hospital. The cold and efficient hospital, with its white walls and bleak floors, looked like a place that Kaiba would be home at. Nonetheless, the place still disturbed him.
Walking over to the receptionist's desk, he spoke to the young woman in the nurse's uniform. " Is Mokuba Kaiba in surgery? "
The woman looked up and saw Kaiba, a person who had been visiting his brother almost everyday. " No, he's still in his hospital room. 3rd floor, number 257. " She looked up, but by then Kaiba had already strode off.
At that moment, Yuugi and co. ran up to the receptionist's desk. Anxiously, Yuugi asked " Excuse me, but what room is Sugoruku Mutou in? "
The receptionist looked up. " Hnn? Oh, hold on. " Boredly, she moved over to the computer, quickly referencing the room the elder Mutou was located in. She looked back at him.
" He's in Room 257, 3rd floor. "
" Alright, thanks. "
Well, that was part one of the third chapter. I'm leaving for a three-day vacation, and I wanted to quickly put it up.
