What is in a Name
Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba Land, Seto Kaiba, Kaiba Seto, Mokuba Kaiba, Kaiba Mokuba...just plain Kaiba...
I hate that word, I hate that five letter word. The sound of it, the meaning of it and I hate myself.
I don't exactly know how I go around, taking such pride in the Kaiba name itself. In my name. Seto Kaiba. And it's something inside, something that goes back those horrible years that makes me finally want to show people that I won't give up. Is this why I carry the burden of my step-fathers name? The name that tortured me for relentless hours every night? The name of the one I've never been so afraid of in my life? Yes. Seto you bastard, how dare you. Deep down inside I know I fear the name. How I despise that name. How many hours each night you do not know tore at my head...wanting to revert back to my last name. The real one. But no. Why have I become so much like the Kaiba? I have always told myself that I would be my person. And now, now what am I? A sick, cold-hearted bastard in the perfectly shaped mold of him. Gozaburo Kaiba. How could I allow myself to this? Don't think I haven't wanted to change my name – yet. But I want to. I yearn to rid of it, also to free Mokuba from the binds of it. But for the sake of my reputation I won't. Now, everyone has known to love, to respect to want the Kaiba name. Who would care anymore if a company were to not have this name? Not a damned soul. And what about when I have kids? Their blood..thought pure of mine or my wifes will be tainted with the Kaiba name, and on it goes for generations...
And I often wonder....
What is in a name? What is in such a short name that has so much power against people? The name that everyone learns to fear, to respect. Nothing. At all. It's just a name. You could learn to act the same towards another name but why? Is it only because I happen to own a multi-million corporation? Or perhaps because I'm the so-called descendant of Gozaburo Kaiba? You all think that he was my father. Step-father! Can't you all realize that? I truly wouldn't just would not, be the person to do this but he had taken control of my body...changed everything. EVERYTHING. And now I ask myself again. What is in my name? What is in it? Fear, desire, ambition, respect, power, hate, and...Seto.
And that is, what is in my name.
