--Chapter 2: Adoption--
Mokuba woke up on a hospital bed surrounded by police officers and doctors.
"Ah good. He's awake." A police officer said.
"How long have I been asleep?" Mokuba asked in a small voice.
"A few hours." An officer answered.
"My brother?"
Silence.
"He's dead."
Silence.
"We're sorry but since he was your only family member, we have to put you up for adoption. We'll find a good home for you."
Mokuba barely heard what was said. He just stared at the white ceiling of the hospital.

At the Game Corner:
"YUGI!" Tea screamed, "YOU WERE USING MY TOOTHPASTE WEREN'T YOU! IF I CATCH YOU LITTLE RUNT I SWEAR I'LL..."
"Tea! Calm down! It's only toothpaste." Joey said.
Tea turned her head at Joey and glared at him. With her right hand, she pulled out a water gun from her pocket and pointed it at Joey. Joey screamed and ran.
Yugi, Yami, Tristan, Serenity, and Mai were crowded around the newspaper.
"Seto Kaiba was shot at the arcades yesterday! The murderer claimed himself to be the original inventor of the virtual gaming stadium for duel monsters. Seto Kaiba's brother is alive and well but now needs a family. For details phone the adoption center." Yugi read from the paper.
"Poor kid." Mai said.
"He's lost everything that was dear to him." Yami said.
"Well, one thing." Tristan said.
"You know what? We're going to help the little kid!" Serenity announced.
"How are we going to do that?" Yugi asked.
"We're going to adopt him!" Serenity exclaimed.

At the Hospital:
Mokuba was wandering around the hospital aimlessly. He didn't know where he was going, and quite frankly, he didn't care. He came to a dark and deserted part of the hospital and was about to walk down a flight of stairs when someone pushed him from behind.
Mokuba fell
And fell
Down flights of stairs.
The guy who shot Seto Kaiba snickered at the top of the stairs.
Mokuba's head made contact with the hard floor at the bottom of the staircase. Mokuba lost consciousness.
The doctor who found him was about to go home after his shift had ended. He hurriedly called all the doctors close to him and rushed him to the emergency room.
