Chapter 5
Yami went into the bathroom and returned with the first aid kit while Yugi walked over to the phone, "I'm going to call Tea, all right."
Mokuba nodded, "Don't say anything just yet though. I want to tell them myself." He didn't know why but he felt explaining the situation would be easier for him. Yami came over and began to dress his wounds. A few minutes later the bleeding on his arms had stopped and his arms were bandaged, "Thanks Yami."
Yami only nodded and returned the first aid kit to the bathroom. He came back, "Yugi, I'm going to make some hot chocolate, all right."
"Ok, just be careful and set the burner on low heat this time." Yugi said remembering an incident in the past.
Yami chuckled and went into the kitchen.
Mokuba felt a fly on his shirt. He reached up to brush it away. In the process his hand accidentally hit his duel card locket. Mokuba took it into his hands and opened it. Inside was a picture of Seto while they were still living at the orphanage. The younger Kaiba closed his eyes.
*FLASHBACK*
9 year old Mokuba dribbled the basketball and tossed it towards the basket. The ball bounced off the rim. He ran to retrieve it but was tripped.
"Hey shrimp, who said you could play with our ball, let alone play with it on our court." It was the biggest meanest orphan; Keito.
Mokuba looked up at the bully with fear in his eyes, "Leave me alone Keito."
Keito walked over to the small boy and grabbed him by the hair, "I don't think so."
Mokuba cried out in pain. Tears stung his eyelids. He did the only thing he could think of, "SETO!!!!" Mokuba was trying to look out for himself but there were times that it was just too much for the little guy to handle.
Keito slapped Mokuba in the face, "Shut up you little brat or you're gonna wish you had never been born."
"Let go of my brother you filth."
Keito turned to find himself face to face with Seto Kaiba, "Well well if it isn't the famous Seto Kaiba."
"Didn't you hear me. I said let him go or you'll have to answer to me." Seto's normally soft blue eyes hardened like ice.
"You got lucky you brat." Keito literally threw Mokuba to the ground causing the younger boy to cry out in pain. Keito ran off to find someone else to beat up.
Seto ran to his brother's side, "Are you all right little brother?"
Mokuba refused to look at his brother, "I'm such a weakling, Seto. How can you even call me family?"
Seto couldn't believe what Mokuba had just said. He picked his brother up and enveloped him into a hug, "Shh, Mokuba it's ok. Your my life. I love you more than anything. You know that. And I promise I will always be there for you."
Mokuba looked up at Seto with bloodshot eyes, "You mean it?"
Seto nodded and hugged his brother even tighter.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
That was the same day the two of them had been adopted and all the trouble had started. Mokuba felt his tears once again on his soft cheeks, "Don't worry Seto, I'll save you some how."
Yugi picked up the phone and dialed Tea's number. After three rings she picked up.
"Hello Gardner residence this is Tea."
"Tea, it's Yugi, could you come over?"
"Sure but what's the problem?"
"I can't tell you now. In fact I can't tell you at all. There's someone here who needs our help and he wants to answer the questions."
"Oh, ok, Yugi, sure I'll be right over." Tea hung up the phone told her parents she'd be going to Yugi's for a few and left.
Yugi hung up and picked the phone up again. He punched in Joey's number. Serenity answered, "Hey Serenity could I talk to Joey for a minute, please?" He could hear Joey and Tristan arguing in the back round.
"Sure, Joey it's Yugi!"
Joey pushed Tristan off him and took the phone, "Yuge, what's up?"
"Joey, I need you and Tristan..." Yugi thought for a moment, "and Serenity to come over right away, please."
Joey recognized that worried tone in Yugi's voice, "Yugi, what's the matter, are you hurt?"
"No Joey I'm fine. But there's someone here who needs our help, please."
"Ok, Yuge, we'll be right over." Joey hung up the phone and turned to Tristan and his sister, "Yugi needs us to come over. He said there's someone there who needs our help." The three of them ran out of the house and headed towards the Game Shop.
Yugi sighed and picked up the phone one more time. He dialed Bakura's number.
"Hello?"
"Bakura, could you come over for a few minutes?"
"Sure I was actually on my way over right now."
"Thanks see you in a few." Yugi hung up the phone thankful he didn't have to say the same thing a third time, "Ok the other's are on their way."
Yami came back in with a tray. He handed Mokuba one of the steamy mugs, "Careful."
Mokuba took the cup and slowly sipped the steamy liquid trying not to burn his tongue, "Thanks guys." he said.
"How is it?"
"It's fine almost as good as Seto's." Mokuba smiled weakly.
There was a knock on the door. Yugi got up and answered, "Hey guys thanks for coming."
Joey, Tristan, Serenity, Bakura and Tea had managed to end up at Yugi's at the same time, "Ok Yuge, we're here so what's the big emergency?" Joey asked. He stopped short when he saw Mokuba, "Oh, my God what happened?"
Yugi led the five of them into the living room. He turned to Mokuba, "Do you need a few minutes to think or do you wanna tell them now?"
Mokuba placed his hot coco on the coffee table and sighed, "My brother's been kidnapped..." he spilled out the whole story for a second time. When he'd finished the others were speechless for a moment or two. No one had noticed Yami and Yugi hadn't been listening.
"I've never seen him so scared. Not even when the big five trapped Kaiba in his own virtual reality game. This is bad Yami, really bad." Yugi said while pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
Yami's crimson eyes had been following Yugi's every move. He'd never seen his aibou so worried, "Yugi, don't worry. We'll think of something. Now from what Mokuba has told us, Kaiba is safe...for the moment anyway. He said that his uncle is holding Kaiba in a warehouse near the pier right?"
"Yeah."
"Well that's our first clue. Come on we better check on Mokuba." Yami led Yugi back into the living room. When they returned the found Mokuba staring at the picture of Kaiba that hung around his neck.
Yugi sat down next to Mokuba and placed a small comforting hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry Mokuba we're gonna do everything we can to help your brother."
Mokuba looked at Yugi, "Thanks."
"Mokuba, do you have any idea why your uncle kidnapped you to get your brother?" Bakura asked.
Mokuba took a sip of his hot coco slightly wincing as he nearly burned his tongue, "I don't know what he wants with my brother. But I think I know why he did this..."
Karria: *rereads chapter* are you sure you wanna stop there Aibou?
Akkadia: *calls from the bedroom* I gotta stop somewhere. *blows nose and sound like a fog horn*
Karria: You are so cruel do you know that?
Akkadia: I know I am.
Kaiba: How dare you end at that!
Mokuba: *bounces off the walls like a bouncy ball* Yehaww!
Akkadia+Karria: What in the? KAIBA!!!
Kaiba: What?
Mokuba: Three *boing* reviews = chapter *boing* 6! *boing boing boing boing.........*
Akkadia: Ohhh kkk!
Akkadia: *from her bedroom* I think they get the picture Yami! *sneezes*
Karria: Really bad cold. So I'm taking over till she's well. so I'll do the disclaimer *ahem* Akkadia has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters. She only owns the story idea and Cycho. On with the fic!
