Yugi: *walks in* Hi everyone! *looks around* uh, where's Akkadia?

Karria: She's hiding. She's afraid of what the reviewers will to do her if they see her.

Yugi: Ohhkkk....

Karria: Is someone going to do the disclaimer? *hears a knock on the door...answers and returns with a telegraph* It's from Akkadia...hmm

Yugi: What does it say?

Karria: *reads* I have, stop, no ownership, stop, over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters, stop, I only own the story idea, stop, and Cycho, stop. *sweatdrop* what's with all the stops?

Yugi: *shrugs* I've never understood telegraphs, Oh well. On with the fic!

A/N: *tries desperately to avoid the rotten fruit being thrown at her* I don't blame you guys but I've been busy beyond explanation. Please forgive me if this chapter sucks. Although this is supposed to be a Seto/Mokuba brotherly love fic, I'm adding something with yugi in this chapter. It's all part of the story so don't think I'm getting sidetracked or something. My fingers are literally numb as I write this. The winner of the inscription contest is none other than, Shadw! I greatly appreciate the other suggestions. They were great. So don't hate me if I didn't pick yours. Ok, I've blabbed enough enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 9

(TV announcer dude: Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Kaiba moved one of his arms to reach into his pocket. He pulled out a small black box, "Happy Birthday, little brother."

Mokuba wiped some of the tears from his red eyes and took the box. He opened it and found a silver ring identical to the one he'd given Seto earlier the same year. Mokuba looked closely and noticed in inscription on the ring. His vision was slightly blurry but he managed to make the message out. It said; All the victories I've had are nothing compared to the victory of having you for a brother. Mokuba smiled and threw his arms around his brother, "Thank you so much, Seto!"

Kaiba merely smiled and returned his little brother's embrace. He pulled back so he could reach into his pocket. He handed Mokuba a chain identical to his own. He took the ring and strung it onto the chain, "Here you go Mokuba."

Mokuba took the necklace and placed it around his neck, "I love you, Seto..."

Kaiba ruffled his little brother's hair, "I love you too, kiddo." Suddenly Kaiba's cell-phone rang, "Just a minute, bro..." He stood up and answered the phone, "Kaiba, I don't care, I'm with my brother right now. I told you to cancel all appointments and meetings for today. Yes, ok. bye." he flipped the phone shut before turning back to his brother, "Those idiots never learn."

Mokuba laughed, "Come on Seto, let's go home. I just want to spend my birthday with you."

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Mokuba pulled out the ring from under his shirt. No one knew about his ring and no one knew about Seto's either. He read the inscription to himself and smiled.

The annoying buzz of an alarm clock filled Yugi's sensitive ears. He reached over and turned the screaming machine off before sitting up and rubbing the tiredness from his violet eyes. Yami appeared from the puzzle. Yugi jumped than relaxed, "I thought I told you not to do that in the morning, Yami!"

Yami just chuckled, "Sorry, aibou. Perhaps we should check on Mokuba."

"Mokuba, I almost forgot!" Yugi stood up and stretched, "Come on." he walked out of his bedroom and headed towards the guest room. Yugi quietly knocked on the wooden door, "Mokuba?"

Mokuba's head shot up at the sound of Yugi's voice. He quickly tucked the gold chain under his shirt before answering, "I'm awake, Yugi. You can come in."

The door opened and Yugi stepped in followed by Yami, "Hey, did you sleep ok?"

Mokuba nodded, "Yeah, actually. It was a dreamless sleep." He hated lying but didn't want Yugi to worry.

Yugi returned the nod, "That's good. Now, Mokuba we need to figure out a plan on how to get your brother back."

Mokuba sat up and hugged his knees to his chest, "I think I may have an idea." he started to explain his plan. (A/N: Ok, if I have him say it then it will ruin the future chapters so bear with me)

Yami sat down next to Mokuba, "It's a well thought out plan, Mokuba." he sighed, "But it is also very dangerous."

Mokuba got up from the bed and walked to the window, "I don't care. I'll do what ever it takes to get my brother back."

Yami looked at Mokuba then at Yugi. His lights violet eyes were developing tears. In seconds Yugi was gone. He ran back to his room and cried into the pillow.

Mokuba watched Yugi run out and grew confused, "Yami, what's the matter with Yugi?"

Yami sighed deeply, "Mokuba, has Yugi ever told you why he lives with his grandfather?"

Mokuba nodded, "Yeah, he said his parents were killed in a car accident and he was sent to live with his grandfather."

Yami stood up, "He lied..."

Mokuba looked over at the spirit, "What?"

"He lied Mokuba. Yugi's parents were killed yes. But a car accident was not the cause. Mokuba, Yugi's parents-"

Yugi appeared in the doorway, "I think I should explain it to Mokuba, Yami." he walked into the room. His tears had finally ceased, "Mokuba, when I was just a little younger than you, my parents found themselves in danger. They worked for a very large and very powerful company. Their job put their life on the line everyday. One day that line was cut. Because of a small agreement that went wrong, my parents were murdered." Yugi took a deep breath, "I know that doesn't make much sense, but that's what my grandpa told me. He wouldn't say anything else."

Yami walked over and gathered Yugi into his arms, "You see Mokuba, we understand what you're going through."

Mokuba snapped out of shocked trance, "I'm so sorry, Yugi."

Yugi shook his head, "It's ok, Mokuba. Now let's get dressed and wake up the others."

Karria: *rereads chapter* Ok, that's all Akkadia has written so... *knock on door* wonder who that could be? *answers door and returns with another telegraph*

Mokuba: *bounces in* what does it say?

Karria: I, stop, have, stop, writer's, stop, block, stop, signed, stop, Akkadia, stop...*sweatdrop* Ok, then, please review. My hikari should be back by next chapter.

Mokuba: 3 reviews= chapter 10! *chibi eyes* pwease!
