************

"Maybe this was a bad idea," Saya thought, sadly. "I don't belong with him... Grandfather, maybe... but not Kaiba-san." They hadn't reached Kaiba Manor yet- Seto had to make a few work related stops, but said he'd be done soon. Koujo and Sorcerer Seto had gone to his soul room, catching up on old times… there was something in there about a Castle of Darkness, but neither Saya nor Seto asked about that. This gave Saya time to think. Think that she didn't belong in her new home. The limo slowed down at a red light. When it stopped, Saya opened the door and jumped out, running down the street.

"Saya!" Seto jumped out of the limo and followed her, telling the driver to just head back to the manor. "What did I do now?" he wondered. "I didn't say anything too her… shit. Maybe that's the problem." He hadn't said much of anything to her since they left the orphanage. Lets face it, he wasn't a very talkative person. But he was now as he ran down the street, calling her name. "Saya, wait!"

Saya found an alley not far from where the limo had stopped and she darted inside. She could hear Seto calling after her, but she didn't answer. Instead, she ducked behind some garbage cans, making herself as small as possible.

"It's a mistake," she thought. "It has to be. Kaiba-san didn't mean to adopt me. He wanted someone else… not me."

"Saya?! Argh, damn it, where did she go…" Saya could see Seto through a small gap between the garbage cans, pausing outside the alley. "Saya?!"

"Go away!" Seto sighed thankfully and entered the alley, trying to figure out where her small voice was coming from.

"Saya, come on," he said. "This isn't funny!"

"No!" Seto leaned up against the wall across from where Saya was hiding. He could just go over there, pick her up and drag her back to the manor. But he wasn't going to. No, he was going to handle this carefully. In other words, he had no idea how he was going to handle it.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "Why won't you come out?" He heard a sniff come from Saya's hiding place- she was crying. "Saya?"

"I don't belong with you," she cried angrily. "I'm not like you! You wanted someone like Jofunu or Areuenu… you want someone WORTH adopting, not a little kid like me!" Seto let out a sigh. This was some deep stuff, especially coming from a five-year-old. But Seto knew as well as anyone, if not better, that orphans learned to grow up fast, to take care of themselves. They knew how cold the world could be… and Saya seemed to think it was so cold that no one wanted her. Especially not him.

"Come here."

"No." Seto let out another sigh. He didn't know why, but he DID want this girl with him. But how to convince her of this?

"All right," he said finally. "Do you want to hear a story?" There was a pause. "Saya?

"A story?"

"Mhm." Saya's head popped up from behind the garbage cans, a suspicious look on her face.

"What kinda story?" she asked. Seto smiled and pulled her out from behind the garbage cans. He then walked her down to a bench and sat her down. "What's the story?"

"Well," he began. "You know, I wasn't always...well...." He gestured to himself. "This. After my parents died, I used to live in the orphanage that you lived in… with Mokuba." Saya nodded her head.

"I know." Seto nodded back, not really hearing what she had said.

"I decided that we deserved better," he continued. "So…" He looked down at her. "Kid, you ever hear of Gozaburo Kaiba?" Saya nodded, an angered look covering her face.

"He's your stepfather," she replied. "You beat him at chess when you were ten so he'd adopt you and Mokuba. But…" She paused. "He killed himself over a year ago." Seto nodded, slightly surprised that she knew so much about him.

"Want to know why?" he asked. Saya looked down at the ground and muttered something. "Hm?"

"Because," she said a bit louder. "You're better than him." Seto was silent for a moment. When that moment was over, he started to laugh.

"Well, yes, I am," he admitted. "But something else to…"

"You're my hero." Seto looked down at her, dumbfounded. Did he hear her right?

"What?" Saya didn't look up at him and her voice stayed soft.

"My parents died when I was little... er." Seto smiled at her disclaimer, but managed to hold in a laugh. "It was a car crash," she continued. "I was in there too, but I didn't die... no one really knows why." Seto watched her, listening. Her little hand came up and wiped her eyes. "Grand... my dad's dad didn't want me... so he put me in the orphanage…" She let out a light chuckle. "And I found out about you... you were just like me... and you became... well, you..." Seto chuckled, shaking his head.

"Kid," he said. "If there was anything I learned in that God forsaken orphanage... it's that if you want something, go for it- you'll get it in the end. Look what happened to me." Saya's head bobbed up and down.

"I did go for it... sorta..." He raised an eyebrow."

"Oh?" Saya nodded again, still looking down at the ground.

"All I've ever wanted," she whispered. "All I've ever dreamed about... is dueling you and having a family..." Seto smiled.

"Guess you killed two birds with one stone, then." Saya shook her head- he hadn't expected her to disagree with that.

"Second one wasn't 'posed to happen," she replied. "I just wanted to duel you... you weren't 'posed to 'dopt me..." Seto sighed.

"I'm a man who does stuff without thinking." He took her hand. "You still have to pick out your room...you haven't seen the Manor yet." He stood up from the bench and gently pulled her towards the manor. "We'll walk the rest of the way. It's nice out." He suddenly felt Saya squeeze his hand. When he looked down at her, she was looking up at him, smiling.

"M'kay!" He smiled back, then turned his attention back to where he was walking.

"Christ," he thought. "I'm being too nice..." Saya was thinking too.

"Maybe... maybe he really does want me..."

A short time later, Seto heard Saya speak up again.

"Kaiba-san?" He looked down at her.

"Mhm?"

"You told me not ta call ya Kaiba-san," she said slowly. "What do I call ya then?" Seto rolled his eyes.

"Seto is fine," he told her. "But… Mokuba calls me Niisama." Saya nodded happily, her smile bright as ever.

"M'kay!" Seto was about to say more when something bumped into him, almost taking him off his feet.

"What the...oh! Kaiba!" Seto narrowed his eyes. Anzu Mazaki. One of Yugi Moto's friends. The last person he really wanted to see. (A.N: Anzu Mazaki is Tea Gardner's Japanese name and is also used in the manga. Anzu is WAY cooler than Tea, so I'm using her instead of Tea. If you have any problems with this… well, too bad ^_~)

"Watch it," he growled. Anzu glared back at him and was ready to tell him off.

"...Hello!

"Well, I'm just SOR..." Anzu just noticed that Saya was standing there, smiling at her. "Hello?" Seto groaned.

"Marvelous..." he thought. Not wanting to explain things to anyone, especially not Anzu Mazaki, he tried to push past her.

"Let's go, Saya..." Anzu, realizing he was trying to make a quick exit, stood in his way.

"Who is this?" she asked. Before Seto could say she was no one, Saya spoke up.

"I'm Saya Tor..." She paused and looked at Seto. "Am I still Saya Tora?" He shook his head."

"Saya Kai...ba..." He groaned again. So much for keeping it quiet for a while.

"Saya Kaiba?" asked Anzu. Saya nodded happily.

"He 'dopted me," she said proudly, as if that was the greatest honor in the world. Anzu raised her eyebrows, not really believing the young girl. She honestly didn't believe Kaiba would do something like that.

"He did?" This time, both Seto and Saya nodded, but Saya started talking again before Seto could say a word.

"Yup... he beat me in Duel Monsters! I almost had him though!"

"Almost had him?" asked Anzu, giving Seto a 'what in the hell is going on' look. Seto drew a breath and let it out as a sigh.

"I went to the orphanage for a visit," he said. "And I brought something back. That's all you need to know. Let's go, Saya." Anzu narrowed her eyes.

"Well," she said, angrily. "That's the last time I try being nice to you!" Saya tilted her head to the side.

"Are you two dating?" The two teens looked down at her, blushing like there was no tomorrow. "There were these two kids in the orphanage," she continued. "They were dating and they fight ALL the time... how does that work?" Seto ignored that last question.

"I am NOT dating HER." Anzu glared back.

"He doesn't let anyone talk to him," she added. "Let alone date him." Seto glared at her.

"Are you implying something, Mazaki?" Anzu's blush deepened.

"No!" Saya burst out in giggles. "I have to meet the others at the arcade anyway," she said finally. "See you, Saya. Kaiba." Seto just eyed her as she left, but Saya waved.

"Bye!" She then turned to Seto. "Sonkei, who was that?" Seto's smile returned. Sonkei- big brother. He could get used to hearing that from Saya.

"Anzu." Saya nodded.

"Oh. She's pretty nice." She giggled again. "But I don't think she's your type." Seto nodded, still watching Anzu walk down the street.

"You're telling me," he said. "She's bitch to the tenth power." Saya had no clue what he meant, but decided it was best to just agree with him.

"Yeah..." She bit her lip for a second, then smiled. "Still," she said, trying to sound very grown up. "I see you as the blonde hair, blue eyed type." Seto chuckled.

"Yeah. Maybe you're right."

They reached the manor a few minutes later. Saya's eyes widened when she saw it- the place was huge!

"Hoooooly shit..." Seto tried not to laugh.

"Language," he said as sternly as he could without cracking up.

"Sorry," she replied. "But… wow…"

"Like it?" Saya nodded as Seto took her inside. It looked even bigger once they got inside.

"Wow..." Suddenly Saya saw someone run down the stairs- he had long spiky hair and blue eyes, just like Seto's.

"Niisa..." He looked at Saya. "Ma…?" Saya looked up at Seto, just as confused, prompting the teen to take a deep breath.

"Saya," he said. "This is my little brother, Mokuba."

"Hello," Saya said softly, staying behind Seto.

"Hi." Seto took another deep breath.

"Mokuba," he said. "This is our new sister. Saya." There was a pause. A brief one.

"WHAT?!"

"Eeep!" Saya hid behind Seto, frightened as Mokuba glared at her.

"Oh boy," Seto thought. "This is not going to go well."

"I adopted her from the orphanage," he said aloud. "She's going to live with us from wrong.

"Why'd you go adopt some GIRL?" cried Mokuba. "We don't need her."

"Mokuba!" Seto yelled angrily. He'd just gotten Saya to believe that she was wanted there- he really didn't want to try and do it again. Mokuba scowled at him and walked away.

"Well we don't!" Saya tugged on Seto's coat, getting him to look down at her.

'That's a little brother?" she asked. Seto nodded. "Is he possessed?" Seto shook his head.

"No, I just need to talk to him. Wait here." Seto started to go after Mokuba, when something jerked him back. "What in the..." He turned to see Saya holding on to his coat. "Saya!" She smiled innocently.

"Let ME try." With that, she let go of Seto's coat and ran off after Mokuba.

Mokuba, meanwhile, was in the living room, playing his Sonic Mega Collection for Nintendo Gamecube. The games were older- early 1990's- but he'd never played any of them before. And he was having problems with Sonic the Hedgehog 2- he was in Chemical Plant Zone, Act 2, trying to get to the boss at the end of the level. Only problem was, there was this part where he was underwater and he had to make his way to the top before he drowned. Frankly, it was much harder than it looked.

"Argh!" he cried as he lost another life, angrily throwing the controller down to the floor. "God damn it!"

"Hello." Mokuba turned to his left, only to see Saya smiling at him. A smile which received a scowl in return.

"Go away," he told her, sternly. "Go off with Seto, he's the only one that wants you here." Saya ignored him and picked up the controller. "What are you doing?" Seto, who was watching them from the doorway, was wondering the same thing. Saya looked over at Mokuba, a small smirk on her face.

"Well," she said. "You suck at this. My turn."

"I WHAT?!"

"Watch and learn..." Mokuba watched as Sonic and Tails appeared on the screen and Saya navigated them to the left… the same way he had headed. And died.

"Keh," he said. "This is the way I went- you're gonna die like I di… what the hell?!"

Saya moved Sonic and Tails next to a spring that would normally increase their speed once you walked through them. But, Saya didn't walk through them. She jumped over them. Next, instead of continuing towards the water, she made Sonic and Tails jump up on to a ledge... one Mokuba never knew about. On the ledge was a ten ring box, followed by another ledge. She jumped up on there then continued along, going around loops and getting more rings. After a moment, she rounded the last loop and reached two more ring boxes and a box holding an invincibility shield. Mokuba's eyes widened.

"How did..." Saya didn't reply. Instead, she moved Sonic and Tails down the screen more until the dropped through a hole. They dropped only a short trek away from where they had to face Robotnik- there were three small tiles on each side of a longer tile that would spin and drop you into the water, where you would died immediately. Robotnik came out from the side in a strange looking robot, a small container on the top filling with the chemical water. Saya wasted no time in jumping on the robot and staying on top until it was destroyed. Once she'd done that, she leapt down onto the safe platform and waited until Robotnik left. When he had, she jumped over the spinning tiles and freed the animals from the egg thingy. Then, she looked at Mokuba.

"All we had at the Orphanage was a Sega Genesis," she told him. "I played this game nonstop until I beat it." Mokuba blinked a couple times… then slowly began to grin.

"So you've beaten all of this?" he asked. Saya nodded happily.

"Yup! And Sonic one and Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles."

"Really?"

"Yup..." Saya bit her lip. "I had problems with Sonic Spinball though... it's hard." Mokuba chuckled.

"I beat that one." Saya's eyes widened.

"Really? Could you show me? Please??" Mokuba smiled and nodded.

"Sure." Seto, still standing in the doorway, chuckled and shook his head.

"And she thought she didn't belong…"
