Sheesh, it's been awhile, hasn't it? But I'm back with a vengeance!!! Let's get this chapter started!!

            Chibi-T: And she does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or Star Trek.

            Thanks.

            Chibi-T: You're welcome. Although it would be funny to see you sued…

            Grrr….

******************************

            Chapter Four

            "No. I refuse to have any part in this. I won't go."

            "But Starfleet-"

            "Send them my resignation! NOW GET OUT!!!" I roared.

            Yugi, eyes filled with both sadness and anger, turned to Mokuba.

            "We leave in two days, Mokuba. Be ready." And with that, he left.

            As the door hissed shut, I looked at Mokuba.

            "I…don't understand any of this, but….. If you don't want to go, don't go. But I still have to." Mokuba said quietly.

            "Fine."

            "Please don't be angry, Seto." Mokuba waited for a reply, but I didn't say anything. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

            Mokuba looked at me for another moment, then exited the room.

            And so I was alone.

******************************

            The next two days I spent with Mokuba. In spite of all that had happened when Yugi came to offer me a position on the Millennium, he forgave me. I felt more than a little guilty. Mokuba was always willing to forgive me, no matter what I did.

            I enjoyed Mokuba's company, but I was still a little distracted. I had been eating holographic food. And I hadn't starved. Of course, that was the least of my worries. I still couldn't get out. I had tried everything I could think of. I had even started saying things like, "Computer, end program" and "Computer, exit" at random intervals throughout the day. Yet I still wasn't succeeding, and that really aggravated me. I always (well, almost always) succeed. I am Seto Kaiba, after all.

******************************

            Those two days flew by, and before I knew it, I was standing beside Mokuba in front of an airlock door, saying goodbye.

            "Well…I guess this is it…" said Mokuba.

            "Oh, stop it. You'll be back," I said. Mokuba laughed.

            "Yeah, you're right. But I won't be returning for quite awhile." He paused for a moment, then said, "Are you sure you won't come with?"

            I have to admit, the prospect of traveling the galaxy in a starship was tempting. Tinkering with futuristic technology was like a dream come true. I had already taken the replicator in my quarters to see how it worked. But with Yugi… It wasn't fair. Was he going to ruin everything I did? Why couldn't he leave me alone for once?

            I shook my head. "No, Mokuba. I can't."

            "Oh. Well…"

            "Mokuba!" a passing ensign called as he passed us on his way to the ship. "Come on!!"

            "Goodbye, Mokuba." I said quietly.

            "Bye, Seto." Mokuba gave me a quick hug and dashed into the ship. As the airlock door shut, he turned and waved.

            I almost regretted not going. But the decision was made, and that was that.

            But I didn't realized then that soon I was really going to regret my decision.

            Really.

******************************

            Over the next few weeks, I pretty much just did as I pleased. I took apart and rebuilt various devices, sampled alien cuisine, and even exchanged a few words with various officers aboard DS9. It was enjoyable, but I knew everything would have been better with Mokuba around. Of course, he would have laughed at me if he knew I fixed Quark's holosuites- for a price, that is. Two strips of gold pressed latinum a suite. I probably could have gotten a whole bar, but I had no use for latinum. I just got a kick out of charging Quark.

            I also talked with Constable Odo, something I had wanted to do ever since I got stuck on the station. The shape-shifting security chief and I disagreed on a couple of issues about station protocol, and we had some very nice debates about them, after which Odo shook his head in wonder and remarked that he rarely met his match in debate, but I was definitely a worthy opponent. I was very pleased by that, of course. But all the while during my adventures on the station, I missed Mokuba and was constantly thinking about him. I had begun to realize that I might be stuck on the station for a very long time, and Mokuba was the only thing that could make that time bearable. But worry does not become me, and, thinking of the phaser Mokuba constantly strapped at his side, I soon forgot my worry.

******************************

            I waited patiently in front of an airlock. The Millennium had been detected a couple light years away, and they would soon reach the station.

******************************

            "Hurry!!" A team of doctors and engineers flew past me.

            "What's going on?" I asked angrily.

            "It's the Millennium!! She's a wreck!!"

            "What?"  The Millennium? A wreck? I couldn't quite react. What…

            Mokuba.

            I dashed to catch up with the engineers and medical officers, flinging them aside, franticly calling my brother's name.

            "Mokuba! Mokuba!!! MOKUBA!!!" I flew onto the ship and looked around. The bridge was a mess. I spied Yugi in the Captain's chair, battered and covered with plasma burns from exploding conduits and consoles. I rushed over to him and grabbed him by the collar, lifting him slightly off the chair. "Where's Mokuba?!?!? Where's my brother?!?!" I demanded. Sparks were flying from damaged equipment.  

            "Romulans…." Yugi croaked.

            "Yeah, yeah!! Is Mokuba alright?!?!"

            "They…. Took him…."

            "What?!"

            "The Romulans got him… I tried to save him, but… He's being held captive on their ship…."

~To Be Continued~

            Oh dear… What can I say? I love those cliffhangers!!

            Chibi-T: Yeah, and you always end in the worst possible spot!

            What do you care? I thought you didn't like my story.

            Chibi-T: I… I don't!!

            Hmph. Anyways, thank you all so much for reviewing!! As promised, I will leave specific reviewer notes!!!

            To DemonicK: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ Thank you for reviewing!!

            To Yami Tenchi:  Ah, Yami, my dear friend. Thank you for reading my story. I love all of yours, too. You must update "Sesshomaru's Beloved" by the way.

            Chibi-T: Chibi-G, you baka!! So what if I love shoujo romance stories? Ugh!!!

            To Oort: Yes, people do tend to get stuck in holodecks quite often, huh? But it can make a pretty neat episode (I'll never forget that episode of Deep Space 9 with Bashir acting as James Bond!! What was it called again? "Our Man Bashir", wasn't it?). Anyway , I'll try to make this fic as original as possible to compensate, okay? ^_^ Also, concerning your constructive criticism (thank you for not flaming me. Constructive criticism is good!!): Yes Quark runs the holosuites, O' Brian fixes things for Quark sometimes, I believe. But you're right- I probably should have used Rom. Oops. ^_^ U Also, Mokuba likes Gakk because… because… well, just because. Also, concerning safeties- I can't say much about that, but there is a method to my madness there! ^_^  Oh, yeah, one last thing. Don't you think I've tried killing Chibi-T?!?

            Chibi-T: Heh heh…

            Anyway, thank you so much for reviewing!! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story!

            To Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: Domo arigato gozaimasu!!! I am so happy you like my story! I read your stories (I need to check and see if you updated, too!), and they are great!! Please continue reading this fic!! Thanks again!

            To morningstar2: *sniff* You said I write well…. That means so much to me!! Thanks so much, and I hope the next chapter doesn't disappoint!

            To Akari Takai: Yami Yokaze: Thanks!! I want a Worf plushie, too…

            To Unrealistic: Thanks so much!! And don't worry, I will include Q, and all the Original Series characters, too!! And hey, that's a really great idea!! A meeting of the minds… alright then, I'll make sure to add that!! ^_^

            To Lakin: I'm so glad you liked it! I was afraid you wouldn't… Thanks for taking the time to review!

            To Oni Tenchie: Thank you so much! I'll be sure to keep writing this… and it will be quite a long story, too, I think. ^_^
