Chapter 2

"Yea, it's me." Kaiba answered in his proud tone, but something was missing. All of the anger was gone from it now. Kaiba was just like a normal person.

            "But…I thought..you…died." Yugi stuttered.

            "Long story." Was the reply "Can I come in?"

            "Well of course." Yugi moved out of the way. Kaiba climed in through the window. This was not the same Seto Kaiba that Yugi knew. His long coat was ripped and dirty. He was cut up and bruised and soaking wet from the rain. "Kaiba…" was all Yugi could say.

            "Yea, it's me!" Kaiba replied a little annoyed now, he remined Yugi of his old self for a moment.

            "Where's Mokuba?" Yugi asked. At this Kaiba's face fell and tears began to form in his bright blue eyes, although h tried to hold them back, he could not.

            "I…I don't know. This is what happened…"

~~~Flashback~~~

            "C'mon Mokuba hurry!" Seto yelled as he pulled harder on his brother's arm. They had to get out of there, out of Kaiba Corp. They couldn't be caught. They ran into the hall, but where stopped by a man with a gun. He pointed it straight at Mokuba. And fired. But, Seto saw the plan and pushed Mokuba out of the way, the bullet hitting his arm.

            "Nii-sama!" Mokuba screamed. Seto got up painfully but quickly and before the man had time to react, Seto grabbed Mokuba's arm and they ran through the window. The man followed after he realized what had just happened, but couldn't find them. He radioed his team.

            Seto and his brother had run behind some bushes in their hedge maze. Seto, for once, was all out of ideas. He had no idea about what could be done. Mokuba was clutching his brother's coat with tears flowing freely from his eyes. While Seto sat there thinking about where they should go, some armed guards finally found them. They pointed guns at them. Seto got up and got into a fighting stance. This time he was going to fight. "Mokuba, get out of here! Quickly, run away!" Seto yelled.

            "But Nii-sama…" Mokuba sobbed.

            "Mokuba now! I'll find you later, I promise, but now you have to run!" with that Mokuba took off out of the maze, since he knew this maze inside and out. One man tried to grab him, but Seto spun him around and punched him in the face, breaking his jaw. After the fight. Seto stood around three either dead or close to it guards. His quickly ran out of the maze. But he was hurt too much. The bullet wound on his arm, his cuts, and stabs took their toll. He passed out, but before one could here him say "I promise Mokuba, I'll find you.".

~~~End Flashback~~~

            "Well, luckily I passed out in a pretty covered up area. They never found me. But I never found Mokuba." Kaiba's once cold blue eyes were full of remorse and sorrow. "I promised that I would find him, but I didn't. I failed him Yugi. I failed my own brother. I've looked everywhere for him, but it's no use." Tears were now flowing freely from Seto's eyes "He's gone."

            "Kaiba, I…" Yugi began, but he didn't really know what to say.

            "I want revenge Yugi. I want revenge for what they did to my brother. I want every single one of them to burn in hell." Seto's eyes were filled with rage now. They were once again cold.

            "Kaiba I understand, but revenge is not the answer." Yugi protested.

            "What would you know Yugi? You're always so happy with your little friends buzzing around you. You don't know what it's like to lose the only person you had. You had your friends for you always. I never had anyone except for Mokuba, and now he's gone!" Kaiba raised his voice in anger.

            "Kaiba…" Yugi tried again.

            "Shut up Yugi!" he yelled "Those bastards took my company from me too. I'm getting my company back. I'm getting my honor back. Oh how sorry they will be to have messed with Seto Kaiba!" with that Seto sat down onto his knees on the floor. His eyes cold, unforgiving. His locket dangling from his neck reminding him of what was no more. He clutched his locket. "I'm sorry Mokuba." He whispered "So sorry,,,"

~~~Flashback~~~

            Ten year old Seto stood at the doors of the orphanage with four year old Mokuba behind him. The younger boy was scared, but his brother's presence was reassuring. "S-

Seto I'm scared." The younger boy whispered with tears coming into his eyes.

            Seto squeezed his little brother's hand "Don't worry Mokuba, I'll be there for you always."

            "I love you Nii-sama." Mokuba whispered his eyes full of trust.

~~~End Flashback~~~

            'I'll be there always Mokuba.' The words rang through Seto's head. 'Always.'

            "Yugi, I…" he couldn't finish his sentence.

            "Kaiba, I'm sorry, and I know we haven't always been the best of friends, but I'm here for you, because we have always helped each other out, even though it wasn't on purpose usually." Yugi said. "But, I'm pretty much alone now too. Joey and Tristan are off fighting, and Tea is in America."

            "I didn't realize Yugi…" Kaiba started. "I'm sorry too."

            "Well its no use wishing that things would be back to normal. Things will never be the same. I was looking at my Dark Magician. He reminded me of what my life used to be." Yugi looked down at the floor.

            Kaiba took out his BEWD. "Same here. This card was what my life was about. I haven't played since. No one has. My BEWD is just something of the past." Kaiba sighed. "I gave one of my other BEWDs to Mokuba, when I promised that I would find him."

            "Kaiba, if you really want your company back, I'll help you get it back. Friends help each other through any situation." Yugi stood up.

            "I've never considered us a being friends, only rivals. But you were a true friend Yugi, for everything that you have done to help me and Mokuba. You were my only true friend." Kaiba also stood up, looking determined. "Let's pay a visit to some soon to be dead assholes!"
