Mokuba woke up later that night, somewhat back to his senses. He looked around the room. This was his room. He crawled out of bed. Then crossed his room. He still feared everyone, after being hostage and beaten for seven months. He crept down the hall and stared at the light, something he had nearly forgotten. Seto sat at his desk, computer in front of him. He was crying. Huge, heaving sobs. Mokuba was no longer afraid of him. He remembered him now. Then he half-ran, half-limped down to his brother. "Seto, Seto," he whispered, massaging the elder Kaiba brother's shoulders.

Seto stopped crying long enough to look at the hurt (exceedingly wounded) child. "You're not afraid?"

Mokuba crawled onto his brother's lap. "No, I'm afraid of everyone but you. You are my brother, I love you," Mokuba said, curling up in Kaiba's lap and drifting off.

Kaiba's eyes misted over. Then he shut off his computer and brought Mokuba to bed. Then Kaiba headed to his own room, falling into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Outside, the kidnapper prepared to strike again-at Yuugi's house. He crept through the window, grabbed the little guy, and left.

The Kaiba residence was peaceful for the first time in seven months. In Mokuba's room, Mokuba lie stretched on his stomach, sleeping deeply and contently. Mokuba let out an occasional snore, softly, and sighed in his sleep from time to time.

Kaiba slept silently on his side twitching alongside his dream. He breathed deep and evenly.

Yugi was scared to death. He found himself thrown into a dark, cold, dungeon. He shivered and backed into the corner. A tall, shady figure leapt out at him. The thing had a long whip. It stepped into the light. Smirking.

"I am Kythella May. I was the younger Kaiba brothers' kidnapper and now I shall be yours! You will not live, unlike that runt."

Yugi gritted his teeth. Kythella was beautiful, violet eyes, long, brown hair with ringy curls that fell softly at her shoulders. She looked like a sixteen year old. She was a kidnapper?
