Chapter 2- Sometimes

Normal POV

Mokuba sat at the table, his breakfast sat infront of him. Untouched and unwanted instead he was drawing a picture; he liked to draw and was good at it too or so people told him.

"Hey Moki" the soft voice of the blonde maid filled the room as she ruffled the raven hair and sat down next to the child at the table. He smiled at her and lifted his drawing from the table, tilting it in mid air so that she could see it clearly.

"What do you think?" He asked, Rini took the picture in her hands and gently ran her fingertips over the picture. It was of a duel monster card, no surprise there, she believed the name of the card was 'Witty Phantom' or something like that. It was extremely good but then again every painting that Mokuba did was. He was a very talented artist and if Kaiba stayed at home every now and again he would know that. He would also know his brother a hell of a lot better than he thought he did.

"It's brilliant Moki, but you did draw it" she explained and stared over at the bowl of un-eaten porridge. The young Kaiba was refusing to eat again, he did it every once in a while. Not so much because he was depressed or anything but because…well no one really knew. He just didn't eat every now and again; maybe it was a desperate attempt to get his brothers attention. It would never work Kaiba was never here for long enough to notice.

"Moki, aren't you going to eat your breakfast?" Mokuba glanced at Rini and then to the bowl of porridge, he shook his head and wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"I don't like porridge" Rini smiled at him and ruffled his hair for the second time as she stood from the table. She grabbed the porridge from where it was lying, rejected, and dropped it into the sink before opening the fridge and looking over what was there. She smiled and turned to face Mokuba.

"Do you like pancakes?" An excited nod and hyper smile crossed the younger Kaiba's face as he leapt up from his chair and ran over to where Rini was stood. "I thought you would, but I thought you could only have healthy food for breakfast…" the hyper smile disappeared and the young Kaiba sighed. Rini was correct in her belief, his Nii-chan had informed all of the servents that Mokuba had to eat something healthy for breakfast, at least and none of them would dare go against Seto Kaiba's wishes. "That's good, cause there is nothing healthier than pancakes"

"So I can have some?" The hyper smile returned and Rini nodded; it was good to see the small boy smile again. He had such a wonderfully beautiful smile and she wondered which of his parents he had inherited that from, his mother or his father.

"Of course…but it'll be our little secret…ok?" Mokuba nodded and held out his hand. Rini gave him hers and they shook on the deal.

"What will be your little secret?" A cold voice filtered into the room from the kitchen doorway causing both of the people stood infront of the fridge to freeze in their places. "I asked a question and I expect an answer" Rini and Mokuba chuckled and slowly closed the fridge door, both of them still refusing to turn or speak to the other. "I know that neither of you are mutes so…answer me"

"We were just thinking about what to get you for Christmas Nii-chan" The small raven-haired child covered with an innocent smile that could have made a scientist believe that there was no such thing as gravity.

"Sure you were?" Kaiba obviously didn't believe a word of what had just been said but he didn't push any further just walked over to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup of black coffee. He sipped some and rolled his eyes, it wasn't strong enough to wake him. The dead maybe but not Seto Kaiba who had just had possibly the most disturbing dream of his young life.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" Rini asked as she began to search for everything they would need to make Mokuba's pancakes. Kaiba glared at her and slumped into the chair where Mokuba had been sat only minutes before.

"Yes" Kaiba growled and took another sip of his coffee; Mokuba stared at his brother for a while, maybe hoping that he would notice the drawing or his existence but no such luck. He muttered quietly under his breath and walked over to the table removing his art equipment and placing it in his backpack. Rini sighed as she watched the young master return to her side and broke a few eggs into the pan.

"Yeah, it's not like you to sleep in" Mokuba muttered and helped add the flour to the pan. The dragon master eyed his younger brother suspiciously; did he know something about the dream he had had last night? Mokuba's room was right next to his and the walls weren't that thick it was possible that the younger could have heard…something…

"My alarm didn't go off" the blue eyed CEO growled and took another sip of his coffee hoping, maybe even praying that the conversation would end there.

"Yeah it did, I heard it from my room at five it's now eight what happened?" Kaiba rolled his eyes and downed the rest of his coffee in one chug; this was not something he was in the mood to discuss with anyone. Especially not his younger brother and his maid. If he was ever going to discuss his dream, which he did not intend to do, he would talk to a psychologist or someone with a degree in such futile things as dreams and hallucinations.

"That's enough! What is this the Spanish inquisition? I'm going to work…I'll be back later" with that said he grabbed he trenchcoat and keys and disappeared out of the door, slamming it shut behind him.

Ok maybe he had been a little harsh on them, well his brother he didn't really care about what he had said to the maid. But he was tired, confused, he was Seto Kaiba wasn't that what people expected from him? To be harsh and cruel and offensive even to those he cared about the most. Sometimes he wished he wasn't who he was, sometimes he wanted to let his guard down and let someone in. Sometimes.

When he reached the garage he slid into the black Porsche, which in truth was his favourite car. It was one of the first he had brought and one of the best, he would never even dream of replacing it. Was willing to spend any amount of money on it being fixed and repaired. It was like his Blue-eyes card he would never give that up…ever. Boys and their toys…right?

He slid into the front seat and placed the keys in the ignition. He really didn't want to go to work today, wanted to be anywhere but work. However as he kept reminding himself he was Seto Kaiba and he had certain things that could only be done by him. If only just because everyone else were idiots. Within minutes he was on the main road, driving way over the speed limit but no one ever dared to stop him for fear of him jumping at them and ripping their throats out with his bare teeth. With the frame of mind he was in today they would be right and were wise to keep their distance.

"Shit" he mumbled when he pulled up outside of the Kaiba Corp building. Usually he liked coming here, felt it was his sanctuary away from the horror and torment of what was the world and life. Now he hated it with every bone in his body and wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep, to that dream. That crazy dream that he felt washed away his last speck of sanity yet he felt as though he needed it. Or at least he needed to know more about it. Why had he dreamt it? Who was the other? Would he dream it again? If so would he mind?

"Mr Kaiba, you're wanted in the meeting room" the young pink haired secretary explained when she saw him heading into his office. He turned and shot her one of his death glares. "I take it I should call them and tell them you won't be in today" she smiled, albeit shakily, and fumbled with the phone.

"Why am I always stuck with these imbeciles?" Kaiba asked more to himself than anyone else as he wandered into his office and slammed the door behind him. He took a deep breath as he meandered over to desk and collapsed into the leather chair. He clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth in boredom and swivelled on the chair until he was facing the picture of Mokuba.

The annoyingly innocent ebony eyes taunting him and made him feel even guiltier than he already did. If that was possible. He leaned back on the chair and tried to decide what had started his dislike for this holiday. What had been the cause of him making his little brother upset on what was one of the happiest days of the year. The CEO growled when there was a loud rapping at the door. A flash of the dream entered his mind and he coughed nervously whilst simultaneously running a hand through his short chestnut hair.

"Come in!" He called and waited…waited…waited. He started to wonder if he had fallen asleep and back into that dream. Everything seemed to be playing out exactly as the dream had. He breathed a sigh of relief when the door swung open and he saw a man with shoulder length red hair walk up to the desk. Swaying his hips as he walked, he sighed when he reached the desk and flipped a strand of flame red hair over his shoulder.

"How rude!" The other shot coldly and stared down at Kaiba, deep golden eyes burning into him. "I had a meeting with ya and ya just blew me off! I don't take kindly to that kind of thing!" He shouted and threw his hands down onto the desk, Kaiba growled angrily and shot the other an ice-cold glare that made him back away, but only slightly.

"And you are?" Kaiba asked/ordered

"My name is Oyamada Ogami," the other man explained. Kaiba stared blankly, the name meant nothing to him and he didn't care to know any more than he already did. He smirked at the other and picked up the phone that rested on the mahogany desk. Ogami's eyes studied the blue eyed dragon master as he spoke quietly into the receiver, trying to lip read but failing miserably.

In three second Kaiba had placed the phone back on the hook and was glaring at Ogami. Before any more words could be exchanged two guards seized hold of Ogami's arms and began to drag him in the direction of the doors.

"What's going on?!" Ogami demanded as he thrashed and squirmed in the arms of the men that were twice if not three times his size. Kaiba chuckled un-amused and stood from his desk.

"I dislike people who barge into my office and start shouting at me for things that could not have been prevented. It's nothing personnel I just really detest you"

The loud rapping on the door made the raven-haired child jump up in glee and rush through the kitchen all the way to the entrance on the other side of the mansion. He yelped slightly when he collided into Norman's leg and had to use the wall to steady himself. The butler smiled at the child and checked him over for any injuries before continuing towards the door. When Norman opened the door he greeted Yugi tachi and led them into the lounge. He smiled and made a mental note that Tea wasn't there.

"Where's Anzu?" Mokuba asked as he sat next to Yugi on the white leather couch. Norman smiled, normally he would explain to the younger that he was being nosy but in all honesty he was just as eager to find out about the annoying brunettes whereabouts as his young master.

"Oh…she said something about a dance recital, I'm sure she'll swing by later." Jounouchi explained and draped his arm around the young Kaiba's shoulders. "You want ya presents?" Jounouchi asked and laughed quietly, Mokuba thought about the question for a while, which was extremely surprising because the boy loved presents more than life itself and what was more fun than ripping into the beautiful glittery wrapping to get to the surprise inside.

"Do you think Seto would mind?" Mokuba's ebony eyes turned to face Norman who merely chuckled and shrugged. Before he had a chance to answer the young teen's question Jounouchi butt in, rather rudely he thought.

"What does it matter? It's your present not his, if he doesn't like you opening presents from your friends then he can rot in he…"

"Jounouchi!" Everyone stopped dead; no one dared even breathe. It was strange, if it wouldn't have been for this little outburst no one would have even noticed that the all mighty Pharaoh of Egypt was in the room with them. In fact Mokuba and Norman hadn't even noticed that the crimson eyed Yugi look a like had come in. "That's enough, we all know that you dislike Kaiba but please do not say such things infront of his little brother"

Jounouchi growled at Yami before turning back to face the Kaiba Corp heir with a smile plastered across his face. Otogi rolled his eyes at his friends and passed Mokuba a bag filled with skilfully wrapped presents. The young Kaiba eyed the bag hungrily and slowly lifted the first present from the top of the pile.

"That's from me!" Honda explained and smiled proudly, Otogi sighed and whacked Honda across the head with the palm of his hand.

"What he means to say is I shopped for it, I brought it, I wrapped it. He wrote his name on the front and managed to spell it wrong…" Honda blushed "I re-wrote it put it in the bag and now you have it…I hope you like it" Otogi explained and smiled, obviously content with making the other uncomfortable and embarrassed. Mokuba giggled and tore the paper away from the gift. He gasped and leapt up throwing his arms around Otogi's neck in a gracious hug. Otogi laughed and hugged back.

"Thank you Otogi!" Mokuba screamed and jumped back taking yet another look at the present. It was a beautiful red silk shirt that Mokuba figured must have cost a fortune but it wasn't the money that mattered to him. It may be corny but it was the sentimental value, Otogi had gone out and taken time looking for something that the future owner of Kaiba Corp would like. And he did, he loved it.

"It will go with the other present I got you…" Otogi turned and looked at Honda with a questioning look on his face. "Oh I'm sorry would you like to take all of the credit for that present to?" Honda blushed again and sunk lower into the couch.

"No I'm good" Honda growled and covered his face with his hand, Mokuba laughed and lifted out the next gift. Running his hand across the silver paper and over to the small tag, he read the writing and smiled over at Yami. The Pharaoh nodded in response from where he was stood next to the window and Mokuba proceeded to tear the paper away from whatever was hidden inside.

"Oh my Kami-sama, Yami…how did you…?" Yami smiled at the flabbergasted young boy and chuckled quietly.

"I take it you like it then?" Yami asked and sat on the window ledge, Mokuba nodded and ran his hands over the gift. It was a small oak box that contained all sorts of painting and drawing equipment. Paintbrushes, pencils and paints all laid out inside of the small beautifully carved box.

"I love it, Yami thank you soo much…but how did you know?" Mokuba questioned the Pharaoh as he continued to study the present he had just received.

"When we were here last week, I saw a couple of your paintings drying in the kitchen. Then I saw that when I was out and figured that you would like it, I'm glad you do"

"Leave the rest for Christmas Mokuba" as with before everyone stopped. The icy voice seemed to freeze everyone in time.

"No way, we brought these present and if we say that Mokuba can open them then he can" As usual Jounouchi didn't know when to shut up and voiced his opinion against the elder Kaiba who just snorted and ignored his comment.

"Kaiba is right, this way Mokuba will have more to open on Christmas" Yami explained which earned him a strange look from everyone in the room.

"Why are you taking his side?!" Jou snapped and pointed at Kaiba who was leaning in his normal casual way against the doorframe.

"As usual, the make-inu has no manners. Don't you know it's rude to point, especially at those who are superior to you" Jou's mouth hit the floor as he tried to come up with a come back but as usual his brain gave out on him and he had no choice but to back down.

"Nii-chan's right, I'll save the rest for Christmas" Mokuba explained and smiled as he took the present from Yami back into his arms and hugged it.

"This is all your fault!" Jou growled and pointed at Yami, the former Pharaoh just sighed and rolled his eyes, "why are you constantly betraying us? You're supposed to be our friend" Jou growled and started waving his arms as if trying to prove his point.

"That's enough Jou" Yugi whispered and grabbed hold of his friends arm, pulling him back down onto the couch simultaneously.

"But, Yug…what if he turns on us again…I don't wanna risk loosing you" Yugi smiled weakly and pulled his koi into his arms. He understood that Jou just wasn't ready to accept Yami back just yet, maybe he wasn't either.

"What are you blabbering on about mutt?" Kaiba asked, unsure of what they were talking about. When no one answered the CEO's question he turned his attention to Mokuba as if redirecting the question to him. The younger Kaiba shrugged and stared at his feat avoiding the question that had been asked. The blue eyed dragon master growled and rolled his eyes, why did he care about Yugi tachi and their pathetic little lives?

He didn't care, however no matter how many times he repeated that in his head he couldn't get himself to believe it. Kami-sama what had that dream done to him and his mind? He turned his ice-cold gaze to the window where Yami had been stood only minutes before to discover that the Pharaoh had disappeared. The last of his sanity was telling him that human beings couldn't just disappear into thin air and that the other must have left. Kaiba stared out of the window in confusion; nothing had ever upset Yami so much before that he had left. What did Christmas do to people?

Nikki: Ok that was Chapter 2, crappie as it was…I didn't really wanna do anything major in the fluff department yet so it ended up as this. The red head I introduced to you all earlier, you might wanna remember his name. He will reappear.

Kaiba: Nikki?

Nikki: Oh yeah, in this fanfic the Yami's and Hikari's have their own bodies. I should have mentioned this earlier but I forgot, curse me and my stupidity. Oh and I'm being kinda mean to Jounouchi but I do love the guy, thick as he is.

Kaiba: Nikki?

Nikki: For anyone that cares Anzu will make an appearance in this fic but I don't like her so she'll probably be a real bitch to everyone. Ryou, Bakura, Malik and Marik are also going to be in here because I love them so much, anyhoo …PLEASE REVIEW!
