Hi again everyone like I promised the update in on time.
AFK25: Lolll since one week passed between the time I started the last chapter and the day I finished it when I read you review I was like 'Green hair??? What is she talking about?' That's when I remembered, the explanation is simple: in the first season Kaiba had green hair, (sad to say I could only find the 3 first episode, stupid 4kid) anyway they were green and a week ago a read in a fic an interesting theory that Gozaburo was forcing Kaiba to dye his hair green so that he'd look more like Noah and I kinda loved this idea.
Ok here some Important information before continuing: Since Kaiba turned back into a child I'll be calling him Seto, also to him it's like he woke up in another world, he doesn't even know anything about his life, to him it's like he went to bed one day and woke up 4 years later so in the story Seto may use words like yesterday, a week or a month ago because to him it only happened a week before but for real it was over 4 years ago.
Chapter four: What a strange kid.
The curiosity had gotten the best of Seto, as soon as Mokuba exited the room he jumped on the computer and started to do research just as he was told and he didn't like what he was seeing. Sure, anyone could tell a lie, he had said a lot in his young life but he knew that it was impossible, even for the most intelligent person on heart, to change all the sites of the internet so they all said the same lie...
Conclusion: The kid with long black hair was telling the truth, even worst that meant that he really was Mokuba, he even checked that on the laptop and there was no doubt about it. Now he understood why he was so angry, he said his brother was stupid but to him it didn't matter, he spoke his mind and if his brother didn't like it then it was his fault.
The little Seto yawned, he had turned back into a kid…so what, that didn't bothered him in the least since he couldn't even remember ever being older so to him it felt more like he had ended up in another world. Even better, it appeared that Gozaburo had died years ago, something he had wished for years, so that meant that he would never feel the wrath of the old fool again.
Seto still had trouble realising that in one day Gozaburo had disappeared, to him it was still only yesterday that his step-father had beat him until he couldn't even sit up because he found out he was sick. Seto tried to move his wrist but the pain was too great, it was definitely broken, "That's what you get for being sick." His step-father said when he broke it.
Seto looked at himself in the mirror, he sure didn't look so well, his face was completely white with red on both his cheek, he had problem breathing and he felt dizzy. One thought made its way to his mind: if Gozaburo wasn't there then they wasn't anyone to keep him from resting until he felt better so he made his way back to his room being careful not to move his injured wrist and felt asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

"So what's wrong with your brother anyway?" That was the fifth time Joey asked the same question and everyone was getting tired about it.
"I told you you'll see when we get there."
They finally stopped in front of the Kaiba mansion's gate. "Are you sure it's safe to come in here, last time we did both you and your brother tried to kill us."
"Boy Joey you are such a coward." Tea complained.
"Does Kaiba even know you are letting us in his house?" Joey asked when Mokuba opened the gate.
"No he doesn't and I don't even think he cares."
"Come on, why won't you just tell us what is wrong instead of forcing us to go inside?"
"Because if I tell you you won't believe me."
"And what makes you think that?" Yugi asked.
"Because I can't believe it myself." Mokuba answered as he opened the door of the mansion.
Mokuba took them all to the living room, they were all looking everywhere in amazement, Yugi and Joey were the only one who saw what the mansion looked like from the inside but they had never saw the living room, the entire game shop could fit in it.
"Are you sure your brother won't mind you having so many friends over, you know he hates it when you invite friends." All the heads turned around to see the little butler with the big head and glassed, he was even giving the creep to Joey…but then again Joey wasn't really the brave type, but he didn't like this guy.
"Mind your own business." All the head then turned at Mokuba, he sounded too much like Kaiba for their liking, they had no idea the kid could talk like that. "Do you know where the other one is? The one with the green hair?"
Hobson shook his head no. "I didn't saw him since this morning."
"Fine you may leave." Mokuba turned around and saw all of them starring at him like he had grown another head. "What? I hate this guy." Boy if even Mokuba didn't like him then there was surely something fishy about him.
"So who's the other one, you mentioned someone with green hair." Tea said.
"Who cares, you brought us all here because of your brother, remember?" Joey really was impatient to finish this and go back home.
"Alright just follow me, if Hobson didn't saw him then he's either in my room or in his." Mokuba walked up the stairs with the other behind him, he had them all really confused with all this talk about his brother and a green haired kid.
The first stop was Mokuba's room, once again they couldn't help but look all around the room, it was like six times the size of Yugi's room. Mokuba looked around a little but he obviously didn't find what he was looking for so he went back in the always motioning to the others to follow him.
Mokuba didn't really went that far, in fact his brother's room door was just in front of his, Mokuba entered it with the others behind him, the room was just as dark as when he entered it earlier that morning.
"And where are we now? I can't see a thing." Just as Joey finished his sentence Mokuba founds the light switch and turned it on to reveal a room even bigger then Mokuba's one and around 10 times messier then the little Kaiba's one.
"This is Seto's room." Mokuba answered Joey's question.
"What? You mean this mess is Kaiba's room? I can't believe it."
"Me neither, I can't believe that Kaiba is a messy kind of guy." Tea said.
"That's because you don't know him, as long as I can remember my brother's room was always a mess, he says he had inherit our father's mania of tidiness. Trust me, that about as neat as his room can get, he cleaned it yesterday." Mokuba walked toward the bed at the end of the room.
"How can he find anything in a place like this, even my house is cleaner then that." Joey said trying his best to follow Mokuba without breaking anything.
A small giggle escaped from Mokuba's mouth. "When our father was still alive I remember him asking Seto the same question, even he wasn't as messy and he was quite hard to beat but I guess that with our mother's death he had to learn to clean a little."
All of them noticed the shadow passing in Mokuba's eyes, they knew that his parent were dead but Mokuba rarely spoke about it, he never really knew them and had only few memories of his father, there death didn't really affected him since he was too young to even realize it but still he couldn't deny that he missed them.
"Anyway, to answer you question Seto said to our father that since everything was on the floor he only had one place to look when he wanted to find something."
"So, that's you little green haired friend?" Tristan asked once they reached the bed.
"Well you can put it that way…"
"I thought you said it was about your brother so where is he?" Joey complained.
"He's right in front of you."
All eyes turned back to the green haired kid sleeping in the bed. "No way. You mean this kid is Kaiba?" Yugi asked in disbelief. All Mokuba could do was nod. "How in the world did this happen?"
"If only I knew. That's why I asked for your help, I didn't know what else I could do"
"And when did this happened?"
"I don't know he was like that when I went to woke him up this morning."
"And how did he react?" Yugi asked.
"I don't think it bother him, I think he don't have any memories that go over his current age."
"What make you so sure of that?" Joey asked.
"Because when I talked to him he didn't recognise me and he thought our step-father was still alive."
"Well since he doesn't remember us you think it's safe to wake him up? I mean he's just a kid right, how dangerous can he really be." Tristan said.
"You're forgetting something, this is Kaiba we're talking about, kid or not I don't trust him."
All the sound caused Seto to turn around in his bed, but surprisingly he didn't woke up, Tea was the first to finally dare to get closer. "Come on guys, it's just a kid, you really are nothing but wimp." She then put her hand on Seto's forehead. "Poor thing, he has a really high fever."
"Poor thing???" Joey yelled in surprise. "This is Kaiba we are talking about, for good sake, he's not a poor thing."
Unfortunately Joey was a little bit too loud; in Seto's mind shouting usually meant you're going to get it. Seto opened his eyes and in a second he was already to the other side of the room.
Once the surprise of seeing the kid suddenly gets away Joey was the first one to talk. "See, he's not that sick if he can get up this fast."
Of course Joey couldn't be any further from the truth; Seto's fever was so high that his vision was all blurry and he had trouble staying on his feet. He took deep breath to calm himself, this wasn't Gozaburo, he died long ago, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"What do you want?" Seto asked.
Joey shivered, even as a kid Kaiba was still the same jerk. "He's right, why are we here anyway?"
"You're here to help us remember?" Mokuba said.
The little Seto smirked. "Oh it's you again, and what makes you think I want help from anyone?"
"Because you can't stay a kid forever." Mokuba said.
"Really, and why is that?"
"Because you're the one who's supposed to take care of Mokuba." Joey said.
"So what? I've been taking care of him since I was five it's about time the little baby learn to take care of himself I'm tired to always have him getting in my way."
Yugi and his friends couldn't believe there ears, this kid was supposed to be Kaiba, didn't he always took care of Mokuba? What was going on here? All eyes turned on Mokuba but the kid only looked down and walked out of the room. They all followed him to Seto's pleasure, he wasn't sure he could stay on his feet for much longer.
Tears started to escape Mokuba's eyes when he closed the door of his room behind him, Joey was about to enter it to talk to him when Yami stopped him. "Let him be for now, he needs time alone, we can wait for him downstairs."
"I can't believe this kid." Joey yelled when they entered the living room. "I always thought Kaiba was a jerk that was low, I can't believe even he could say such a thing."
"Yelling to the ceiling won't gives you any answer Joey" Yami said sitting down on a couch. "I'm sure Mokuba will explain everything to us when he's ready, as for Kaiba; he's so sick that he could barely stand on his feet, he won't go really far."
"I don't care, if this kid ever dare to say something like that in front of Mokuba again he's going to get it, kid or not."
"Joey calm down. Do you realise what you are saying, you can't hit him he's just a kid, Yami's right, all we can do is wait for Mokuba to show up so why don't you go raid the fridge, that'll change your mind.
A few hours passed by, soon all of them were hungry, even Joey who ate almost all day long, so they ordered pizza. Yami walked up the stairs to Mokuba's room and knocked.
"Mokuba, can I come in?" When he heard no answer he entered it. Mokuba was sleeping on his bed, Yami sat down beside him and shook him lightly. Two big grey-blue eyes looked up at him. "Hey kid, Joey's ordering some pizza, feeling good enough to come eat with us or do you want me to bring you some?"
Mokuba sat up in his bed. "I'll come." He followed Yami but stopped in front of the door. "What about Seto?"
"I just checked on him, he's still sleeping and I doubt he'll wake up anytime soon."
Mokuba nodded and followed Yami downstairs to get a piece of pizza before Joey eats all of it. "Do you have any idea how this happened?"
"So far I don't but don't worry about it, I'm sure everything will be alright, we'll take care of you."

Yay one more chapter done and the worst part is I'm mostly improvising all of it, anyway I kept my promise, you can't say I'm late this time. But right now I need to think a little about how the story will go.
