YamiXShizuka- What happened to Shizuka is found out in this chapter however Katsuya's fate is not fully revealed until later on. A slight story behind it is that while Shizuka got adopted by a young couple Katsuya was left behind and when the orphanage was torn down he was sold off to a workhouse. You'll find out more in a later chapter but that's the broad basics.
* * *
Seto Kaiba opened his eyes as his brother woke him gently. They were there, at the orphanage. Seto didn't know why he was there. Shizuka was sleeping beside Mokuba.
Seto remembered the first day they had seen Shizuka again. She had been adopted by a young couple but she was upset.
* * *
"Seto! My brother is still back at the awful place."
"You mean Katsuya?"
"The couple, they only wanted me. I was so overjoyed that I forgot about Katsuya," she swiped at the tears as she looked up at Seto.

Katsuya, why am I dreaming about him? Dreaming about the day we first met. I know I'm gay but so are the rest of my friends: Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Otogi, Honda, they all are. Mokuba and Shizuka don't care. Yami has Yugi, Bakura has Ryou and even Otogi has some one. Am I really that desperate that I'm looking to a shadow from the past?
Seto sighed as he looked ahead. They were back to find Katsuya but what they were greeted by was a sight not liked. The orphanage was run down and as Seto stepped out he realized no one had been there for years. In the field that Seto remembered so well stood a lone soccer ball. Scribed with permanent marker on the ball were two names: 'Seto' and 'Katsuya'. It had been Katsuya's only possession and he never would have left it behind.
Seto had tried everything but nowhere could he find the blond haired brown-eyed angel named Katsuya. And now all information was gone.
It seemed like ages ago. But then something caught Seto's eye. It was a boy about his age with shaggy blond hair and a loose t-shirt on over a skinny frame. He blocked the ball that Seto had kicked just for old time's sake and he had knocked it back to him like this was an every day occurrence. The boy seemed some how familiar and Seto felt like he was being greeted by a ghost from the past.
"Hello, I'm Seto Kaiba. Who are you?" The boy never answered but looked up and turned away in sudden fear. It wasn't Seto he was afraid of but something else. Then Seto saw it. There was a large man coming their way in a full drunken rage.
"Get back here you little bastard! I'm gonna kill you once I get my hands on you! Now get back to the workhouse. You got work to do or I'll beatcha within an inch of yer life."
The boy turned like a deer in the headlights and then began running. Seto put a foot out to stop the man and he fell over and collapsed in a heap and then Seto tried to catch up to the boy. That was easier said than done.
"Wait up!" Even catching up to the boy was going to be a problem Seto realized as he caught a sight of him turning around the corner.
Finally to Seto's relief the boy turned towards where Seto knew was a dead end. "Listen up boy! I just want to know your name!"
He ignored Seto some more. "Dreg," he muttered. The boy suddenly jumped up on top of a garbage dumpster as he looked down at Seto.
"My name is Katsuya," he said quietly.
Seto froze when he heard this. It wasn't possible. But he looked like it. The brown eyes were the same. Seto didn't remember ever seeing any as good looking and he swallowed hard.
"Katsuya?" His face turned red as he looked down at the ground. Blast those stupid dreams! Blast my gay preference! I'm going to scare this guy away!"
"So you're the President of KaibaCorp. Will you please quit staring at me?"
"Do you know me?"
A smile twitched on his lips. "Yes, you were at the orphanage. And by reputation I know you as the President of KaibaCorp, the gay President of KaibaCorp. By the way I'm bi." His smile told Seto all he needed to know. The guy he had just fallen for, the one of his dreams wasn't interested. "Your reputation precedes you and you're making me uncomfortable and I'm not interested."
"Dreg! Lowsy, no good, ugly dreg!"
"Is that the best you can come up with?"
"Mutt!" Suddenly it snapped in Seto's mind. He had seen this boy before. He was in homeroom. He didn't have any friends and he hated all of them, especially Seto. He had never known his name nor had he really noticed the blond boy.
* * *
"So, any luck?" Yami asked Seto as they all sat down in the cafeteria. Yugi was kissing him on the cheek.
"I found my old friend alright."
"Is he hot?" Honda asked as Otogi hit him over the head.
"Yeah, unfortunately he hates the type of people we are."
"You mean he's actually," Ryou swallowed hard as he looked at Seto, "straight?"
Seto looked up as a hand was slammed down in front of him. "You want me to send him away?" Bakura asked.
Seto looked up at Katsuya's angry face. "Boys, this is Katsuya."
Yugi started coughing. The boy never talked in class, was never called one. No one ever knew his name or where he had come from.
"Let's get one thing straight Kaiba. I don't want any contact with you and all your quer friends. I keep to myself and you keep out of my way."
Seto smirked to himself as he stood up and grabbed Katsuya's chin and kissed him. Katsuya shoved him away and stood there shaking in rage. "Pervert," he snarled. "I'll deal with you later."
"Whatever you say, dear."
Katsuya stormed off in anger and sat down fuming. He hated all of them but why did he not want Kaiba to stop?
