He continued down the street. He looked at every shop, read every sign. This was strange. He never took notice of such things. He had never needed to take notice of such things. He was Seto Kaiba, who the hell were these people? He wouldn't walk on the same street as these people. His helicopter would always take him around to wherever he wanted to go. Not anymore, he didn't have anywhere to go anymore, or a helicopter to go there in for that matter. As he walked past an alley, he thought that he heard a struggle.

What do I care? I need to worry about myself, and only myself, he thought.

Flashback

"Awww does the little baby want his toy back?" a teasing voice pierced the air.

"Give it to me!" Mokuba sat on the ground sobbing.

"Awww, why don't you go and cry to your mommy?" the other kids snickered "Oh wait, she's dead isn't she?"

Mokuba looked at the ground. "Well come and get it!" the older boy taunted "Come on!" he challenged as he shoved Mokuba backwards. He raised his fist to hit him again, but someone grabbed his arm from behind. "What the…" the kid turned around only to find Seto's fist in his face. "Hey!" he raised his fist to hit Seto back, but Seto was too quick for him and grabbed it. He then threw him to the ground and beat the living daylight out of him.

"Never come near my brother again!" Seto said "You have been warned, next time, you won't be so lucky!" The kids ran away as fast as they could, they never bothered Mokuba again.

End Flashback

Seto could not help but turn into the alley.

"Hey, get away from me, you creeps!" Seto hear a girl's voice. He walked up to the scene, the two guys turned and looked at him.

"Get the hell outta here, before we blow your brains out!" one of the guys said. Seto just smirked a little.

"What's so funny tough guy?" the other asked "Do you wanna end up like her" he said pointing to the young girl, that was sitting against the wall of the building.

"You better leave her alone." Seto had a warning look in his eyes.

"Oh yeah? Make us!" the first guy answered back, his fists clenched.

"My pleasure." Seto replied. The first guy charged at him with his fist, but Seto was ready. He grabbed it and flipped the guy over. "Is that all you got?" he challenged. The second guy ran up to Seto also with a knife. Seto grabbed his arm, took the knife, and stabbed it deep into the man's side. "Now, get out of my sight!" he commanded the two thugs.

"Let us hope, for your sake, that we never meet up again." The two bandits took no time in getting up and running as fast as they could.

Seto walked up to the girl and knelt down beside her. "Are you ok?" he asked, his face full of concern.

"Yea, I think so." She replied "Thanks so much, but you shouldn't have risked your life for me."

"They didn't stand a chance against me." Seto stood up and helped the girl to her feet, but when he looked at her face, he gasped.

"What is it?" she asked looking concerned.

"Do I know you?" Seto asked her.

"I don't think so, I'm Serenity. Serenity Wheeler."

"Wheeler? Your Joey Wheeler's sister!" Kaiba stepped back in amazement.

"Yea." She replied "Do you…did you know Joey?" she asked.

"Yea, we didn't get along too well though." Kaiba replied, he thought back to how he had treated Joey in the past.

"Wait, I remember you too." Serenity said thinking for a moment. "You're…Seto Kaiba?" she looked just as astonished as he was. "But how, I read in the paper that you died."

"Well, most people think that I am dead. I was close to it anyway." Seto replied "But it takes a lot to get rid of me, and it just wasn't enough." Seto changed the subject, "Are you sure that you're alright?"

"Um, yea, I should be fine." She started to walk off but stopped short and clutched her side.

"What's wrong?" Seto asked running over. Then he saw what was wrong. The side of Serenity's shirt was ripped, seemingly with a knife and her side was bleeding. "Oh my god…" he said "You're not ok."

"No, I'm fine…" she whispered, "It's just a…little cut."

"Are you crazy? This isn't just a little cut, you could die from this!" Seto said "Here, give me your scarf." She handed the long, silk scarf to Seto. "I have to wrap this, you'll die if you lose too much blood." He carefully wove the scarf around the gash. He then helped her up. "Lean on me." He said. Serenity did, and they began the walk back to Yugi's house. The hospitals were all closed now. His company would have to wait. He didn't understand why he was even helping Serenity. He had hated Joey, and yet here he was supporting his younger sister. I know why, he thought, Mokuba, whenever Mokuba would get hurt, I would help him, this is no different, Mokuba…I'm sorry.
