Chapter 1
-Real World-
Seto flicked on the lights to his lab. He pressed a few buttons, a pod appeared and opened up. "Place dueling deck in slot" Seto placed his dueling deck in the slot. He sat down in the pod, pressed a few buttons, and the lid closed.
"Virtual systems ready, setting virtual backround." Seto sat there, going through a virtual passage into the virtual world. He opened his eyes. He was in the middle of a road out in a country valley.
'Ok... now first I have to find Mokuba... and I have to remember that he might not remember me...' Seto thought to himself, walking through the road. The beeping of a car was heard. He turned around. A car was heading straight for him.
Seto held up his 2 hands and closed his eyes. The car went right through him. "Oh... right..." Seto said to himself, chuckling at his own stupidity. "Now, where to go?" Seto asked himself, looking around. He wondered if he should find Mokuba, or if Mokuba would find him.
-Not Too Far Away In Castle-
"Mokuba, check this out." Mokuba ran over to Noah and his moniters. He was focusing on one screen. "What is it Noah?"
"Well, my computer says that another mind has been uploaded in this virtual world, and that's him" Noah pointed to a tall boy, walking with a stern look on his face. Mokuba's face lit up.
"That's the boy! The boy from my dreams! The boy from my locket!" Mokuba clicked it open and showed Noah. Noah looked at the picture, then at the screen. "It kinda looks like him."
Mokuba grabbed his hand and began to drag him over to the exit, "Come on, we must go greet him."But Mokuba, wait! Stop!" Noah said, Mokuba was pratically running out of the castle.
-Seto-
"Hum... pretty good virtual world I created. Virtual sounds are online. Virtuals holograms definitly online" as a car passed through him. Seto looked up, a path led up a hill. Seto shrugged, "What do I have to lose?"
Seto started walking up the hill. "Hey! Hey you!" Seto turned around. Noah ran up to him. "Do have any idea where your going?!" Seto glared. "I'm going to find my brother."
"That's not exactly the way there. If you go down that path" Noah led him up the rest of the hill. Down the hill, a huge canon lay beyond from where he stood and a feeble bridge led to the other side of it.
Noah looked up at Seto. "So what is your name?"
"Seto Kaiba. But I'm Mr. Kaiba to you." Noah glared. "So you think your so great huh? Is it because we are forced to live in this virtual dump for the rest of our lives? Or is it because MY father gave YOU all the attention?!
"Noah! Stop being mean." Seto and Noah turned around. Mokuba stood before them. His locket clutched in his hand. A smile came onto his face. Fright lay deep inside Mokuba's eyes, Seto could see it.
"Excuse my step brother, he doesn't really have manners." Noah crossed his arms, although he was smiling, "Manners? Who needs it when you have your own little world you can rule."
Noah glared and turned to Seto, "Until of course people come over here and actas if everything is thiers." Mokuba looked up, and at that moment, Mokuba's and Seto's eyes met for the first time in 5 years.
"Um... you wouldn't happen to be this little boy, would you?" Mokuba clicked open his locket, and showed it to Seto. Seto smiled. He took out his own locket, "I would happen to be that boy" Seto showed the picture of Mokuba that was in his locket.
Mokuba smiled and jumped into Seto's arms. "Seto! You came back for me!"
"Of course little brother, I could never leave you here?"
"You left him here for the past 5 years" Seto shot a glare. "It's been 5 years already?" Mokuba asked. Noah nodded, and snickered at Seto. "But, why would you leave me here alone for that long?" Mokuba asked, almost sounding horrified.
"I couldn't get to you. I was under Gozaburo's control till he finally passed away. Now I rule Kaiba Corp. Amd you won't ever have to worry." Mokuba thought for a moment. "But? It has been 5 years, what have I missed?"
"I'll tell you that on the way home, now let's...." the scene changed. "What the heck?"
"It does that all the time Noah said, walking over to him. "You'll have to follow me to get out of here." He shot a devilish glare at Seto. Seto than knew exactly what Noah was trying to pull. "Fine, but Mokuba is staying with me" Seto said angrily, grabbing Mokuba by the hand.
"Fine, have it your way" Noah said walking into the jungle. "Just don't get lost." Seto glared at Noah as he lead them into the jungle. Mokuba looked at both of them. 'I don't think this si turning out so well.' Mokuba sighed.
"Well, now that we have time, you can start by telling me how old you are now."
"16" Mokuba stopped. "Whoa! I was gone that long? Last time I remember you were only, like, 11" Seto smiled and nodded. "So what age am I Seto?" Mokuba said running up to Seto again.
"11"
"Whao, I'm already in the double digits. Cool!" Noah growled and turned his hand into a fist. Soon the sky got dark and a lightning bolt headed straight for them. "Watch out!" Seto grabbed Mokuba and jumped out of the way.
Noah walked over to them and helped Mokuba up. "Close one, guys" Noah said. "Almost too close, Noah" Seto said, they shot glares once again.
"Guys? Are you 2 coming?" They turned to Mokuba. "Yeah" Seto said. "Here, let ME lead the way and talk to you" Noah said, cutting front of Seto and Noah grabbing Mokuba's hand.
"You might have the battle field, but you don't have the prize" Seto murmured to himself.
-That Night-
Seto, Mokuba, and Noah sat around the fire. Mokuba in between the 2 brothers. Mokuba was poking at the fire, not really paying attention to both his worried brothers. "Mokuba? What's wrong?" Noah asked, beating Seto to it.
"Well, Seto" Seto smikred, "Yeah Mokuba?"
"What ever happened to Mom and Dad?" Seto's heart froze. He looked down. "They're dead Mokuba, we're orphans?" Mokuba looked up, shocked. He had almost forgotten. His memory had fadded after so many years.
"Is... is that why we were sent to Gozaburo?" Seto nodded. Tears began to run down Mokuba's face. He hugged Setp tightly, "I'm sorry!" he cried, crying into Seto's trenchcoat. Seto placed his hand on his back.
"Why?"
"Because I remembered how Mom died" Seto held him close. "Mokuba, it wasn't"
"Yes it was Seto. If I wasn't born Mom would've lived. If Mom would've lived, Dad wouldn't have killed himself. And if he didn't kill himself" Another tear running down his face. His eyes sparkled against the lit fire.
"Then you would have a family." Noah was completely silent. Understanding what they were saying, but almost feeling sorry for Seto himself. "No Mokuba, your wrong. I do have a family. That's you, and from and now and forever and more, I'll always love you, no matter what happened in the past."
Mokuba hugged Seto. "Thanks Big Brother" Mokuba hugged him. Seto smiled, then took off his trenchcoat. "What are you doing Seto?" Seto took off his shirt as well, but balled the shirt into a puffy ball. "How do you exspect to get a wince of sleep, if you don't have a pillow and blanket?"
Seto placed the shirt down beside Mokuba, and threw the trenchcoat on Mokuba. "Hey! Seto!" Seto smiled. He grabbed Mokuba's body in the trenchcoat and threw it in the air. Mokuba fell back into Seto's arms, and the trenchcoat slowly landed on him. Seto wrapped him up.
"Now you go to sleep" Seto said. Mokuba looked up at Seto. "But Seto, what about you, and Noah?" Seto smiled, then smirked at Noah. "You go to sleep, me and Noah will get aquanted. "Ok, if you say so" Mokuba said, turning on his side and falling asleep.
Seto grabbed Noah by the collar of his shirt, "Now listen you"
"No uh, uh, this is my world, and if you do anything to threaten, I can threaten you with something worse. Noah pointed to the sleeping Mokuba. "You wouldn't" Seto growled. Noah smirked, "I would."
Seto threw him to the ground. "Who do you think you are punk?"
"I'm just a kid who's gotten second chance at living, and a second chance of not being alone."
"So, the game begins? Whoever gets Mokuba to love them more, can keep him forever. Noah smirked. "Deal" they both said. "Oh, and Seto" Noah said to Seto. Seto turned around. "Watch your back"
"Noah, get a life"
Sorry about short/bad chapter. I hope you still love me (cries) or at least this story! Anyway, so, now Seto and Noah have their deal, but how long will it take Mouba to figure it out? And when he does, will it be too late? Which brother is going down? REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
