~ Hello, Brother. I'm writing you, even though I'll be with you soon enough. I'm sitting in the living room (You remember what that looks like don't you?) thinking about you. I've just put a tape into the VCR and I'm pressing play as I write this. It's the tape your friends put together for me. Don't worry. I've already written them a thank you note, which I posted yesterday. I hope they don't mind that I put some of my own clips on there. Oh, I like this part. It's a few months after I took over as head of KaibaCorp. We're at the park with a friend of yours. I'm filming from my seat on the ground. I smile at you as your smiling face appears on the screen. You were so happy, smiling at me like that. You're waving at me, giggling as you play tag with your friends. I can see the camera shake as you fall and I run towards you, dropping the camera behind me. The picture is upside down, but I can still watch myself as I run towards you. I pick you up and make sure you aren't hurt. You laugh at my concern and I laugh as well. You run off laughing and resume your game of tag with your friends. Why wasn't I more concerned two weeks ago? I should have been. I'm such an idiot!
Now the tape is showing your fifth birthday. We're smiling at the camera and I think your trying to stand so that you can look over the table. I laugh and pull up a chair for you to stand on. I watch the tape and smile as you blow the candles out. You're laughing because you think your wish will come true. If you watch closer you can see that I helped you blow out the candles. You smile up at me, not knowing how I helped you and begin to open your presents. You are so excited over one of your games, then you drop it and it breaks. You start to cry, but I promise I'll buy you a new one, even though I don't have the money. Did your wish ever come true? What was it? Did you like the game? Did you ever win it? I don't suppose I ever asked. Didn't seem important at the time. I wish I had.
Here you are showing off for the video camera. I smile a little as you slip and fall, knocking over one of my more expensive antiques. I frown at myself as I put the camera down and yell at you. You yell back at me and soon I send you to your room without supper. Did you know that I still loved you? Do you remember that I relented and brought you some hot soup later?
I wish you were still here with me. I'd give up all my antiques and money if you'd come back. But I know you can't. Do you remember wishing that Mom and Dad would come back for us? Do you remember that I never told you that they were dead? Did you ever figure it out? Were you mad that I lied to you? Did you ever hate me? Did you forgive me for not being able to rescue you from Pegasus? I tried! I really did! I guess I didn't try hard enough. Do you know how much I hated, and still hate, myself for that? Do you remember at all? ~
I look down at the small grave and feel a tear roll down my cheek. A few days ago I would have brushed it aside, but now it doesn't seem so important. So many things have changed. I should have asked you all these questions. I should have been more caring. I really don't care about anything but you now. So what if I lost the title of duel monsters champion? So what if the world sees the CEO of KaibaCorp crying? So what if I have all this money and power. You're not here.
~ You shouldn't be gone, little brother, not you. You were so young. It should be me that's gone. Not you. Never you. ~

~ Do you know that I hate myself for allowing you to walk home alone? Do you know that when I heard the news I cried? Do you know that I felt myself die with you? Do you know? I should have been there to protect you. I should have stopped that car before it hit you. I would have stopped it. That's what big brothers are for. Guess I failed, huh? ~
I look down at the gun I bought. I like the reassuring heavy weight. I like the secure feeling it gives me and smile to myself.
~ Don't worry, Little brother. I'm coming for you soon. We'll be together soon. I told you nothing could part us. What's a little thing like death? I love you. See you soon. Your older brother, Seto. ~
I place the letter on Mokuba's stone and hope he can read it. If he can't, I'll be with him soon enough. I load the small revolver slowly, not wanting to make a mistake, another chance for me to be separated from Mokuba, and place it against my temple. I looked down at Mokuba, my little brother, smile and close my eyes.
"I'm coming little brother." I whisper. And pull the trigger.
