It seem I don't get as much review with this story as I was getting with the lasts ones...oh well, doesn't matter I'm doing this before I love to write, but I also love knowing I'm not writing for nothing. Anyway on with the story.

Chapter five: Even more mysteries.

Mokuba went downstairs with Yami to get pizza before Joey eat it all, fortunately for them there was still some left so they served themselves. The dinner was mostly silent, which was uncomfortable, no one wanted to bring up the subject they all wanted to know.

Of course Joey, who really needed a lesson in tact, wasn't as careful as he should have been. "So, what exactly is wrong with your brother, I know he's a jerk but I thought he cared about you?"

"Joey." Tea hit him behind the head for that last comment.

"Well now that Joey brought up the subject do you feel good enough to explain everything?" Mokuba turned over at Yami and looked down.

"I don't know more than you about how he became a child again."

"So then do you have any idea why he's treating you like dirt?" Joey said. This time it was Tristan who hit him.

Mokuba looked down a little bit more. "I'm not sure…"

"Then just tell us what you think." Yami said.

"Well, I doubt any of you forgot how my brother was when you first met him."

"How could we forget? He tried to kill us and you weren't any better than him."

"JOEY" Tea and Tristan yelled at him.

"It's ok." Mokuba said. "I know I wasn't good to you. The thing is, Seto didn't became a total jerk over night, when we were little he was completely different from what he is now, in fact I think you could all have been good friends if he hadn't change."

"Me? Friend with Kaiba? Never in a million years kid." Joey crossed his arms over his chest.

"You can think whatever you want but I won't change my mind. Seto started to change soon after we were adopted, around the age he must be right now."

"And do you know why he changed?" Yami asked.

Mokuba looked away. "I don't."

Joey just shrugged his shoulder. "If you ask me he was just a spoiled brat." Every eyes turned on him. "Hey don't look at me like that, what I'm saying is totally logical, just look around you, his step-father could buy him anything he wanted, you've seen the other rich guys at our school, they are all jerk."

Tea and Tristan looked at each other, this was possible, but what was really surprising was that Joey was the one to figure that out. Mokuba wanted to tell them that Seto wasn't a spoiled brat but if he did he would have to admit that he lied when he said he didn't know what happened to his brother.

"Lets just concentrate on the current problem, Kaiba's past is none of our busyness." Yami said. "Right now we have to decide what we will do with the two of you." Everyone turned at him. "People aren't blind, they will find out eventually that Kaiba disappeared and Mokuba could get into trouble if the social worker, or someone that simply despise Kaiba find out there's no one to take care of him."

"Yami's right." Joey said. "All of this could become fishy in no time."

"Why don't we just cover it up?" All eyes turned on Tea.

"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Joey asked.

"Simple, we just have to invent something to explain where Kaiba is and who the kid is."

"Yeah that's great Tea, we'll just tell them that Kaiba turned into a kid, that's great." Joey said sarcastically.

"Joey she said to invent something." Yami said. "And she has quite a good idea, lets see, all we have to do is find an excuse as to why Kaiba disappeared."

"Yeah but like what?" Tristan asked.

"We could say that he's gone on a vacation trip." Mokuba said.

"That should cover things up…for a while at least, maybe by then we can figure out a way to change him back to normal." Yami said.

"Yeah but what are we going to do with them, if Kaiba is gone then Mokuba can't stay alone here, people would think Kaiba is neglecting him and how are we supposed to explain the little Kaiba's presence?" Tea asked.

"Mokuba?" Mokuba turned his head toward Yami. "What exactly is your birth name?"

Mokuba seemed to think a little. "I think it's Norisaka, why?

"It's really simple, the two of you will stay at the game shop, I'm sure grandpa won't mind once we explain everything to him, we'll give your brother is birth name back and made him pass as your cousin."

"Well that makes sense. Now all we have to do is hope your brother will play the game." Joey said.

"Ok so this is settle, for now we should let him sleep. We'll come back tomorrow to get the two of you, try and talk to him before then."

Once the other left Mokuba decided to check on his brother, he looked quite sick this morning and he was worried so he took some medics and went to his room. He could see his brother still sleeping and he really didn't looked so well so he woke him up.

Seto looked up at him. "What do you want now?"

Mokuba handed him the pills. "Here, this will make you feel better."

Seto turned his back to him. "Get lost, I don't need your help."

However this time Mokuba didn't let him win that easily. "All right, I have enough of you, you are sick so you are going to take those stupid pills and shut up."

"Like you can force me to take them."

"You know what? I don't care if you take them, I'm being nice to you because I care, I can't help you if you don't let me."

"Great cause I don't want nor need you help."

"Fine, that's your problem, now listen because I'm only going to say this once, tomorrow morning we are going to stay with one of my friends and you are my cousin got that?"

"Whatever." Seto turned his back to him again and tried to sleep again.

Once Mokuba left the room he turned around, Mokuba had left the pills and a glass of water on the nightstand. Seto stared at them, the truth was, he barely sleep at all during the day, he wasn't even sleeping when Mokuba walked in and he really didn't felt good. He extended his arm to take the pills but took it back halfway through.

He couldn't take them, he clearly said that he didn't wanted any help, he knew that if he ever trusted anyone again he would only get hurt, he knew that from fact, after all that was the only reason why he didn't trusted anyone… not even Mokuba, as much as he wanted to.

The next morning Mokuba came to check on him again, he was surprised to find the room empty. He looked over the nightstand to see the pills still standing there; it looked like it was too much to hope that he would take them sooner or later.

He made his way downstairs and found him silently eating breakfast. "What are you doing here?"

Seto turned around to look at him. "What does it looks like, didn't you said we were going to stay with one of your friends?"

Just as he said those words the doorbell rang and soon after Joey erupted in the kitchen soon followed by the others, Seto did his best to ignore them but Joey just can't be ignored, especially when he makes a fool of himself.

"Oh great food, can I have some?" Joey asked seeing Seto eat.

Of course Mokuba accepted, the poor kid really didn't know how to say no and anyway he needed to eat also. As soon as Joey got his plate he started to eat way to fast for his own good. Seeing that Seto put his fork bag in his plate and pushed it away, this was rather a disgusting sight, he then murmured something loud enough so only him would understand.

"What did you just said?" Joey asked without even swallowing first which only disgusted Seto even more.

A smirk appeared on Seto's face. "I said even dogs have more manners."

"What?" Everyone all started to laugh at this since Kaiba was always treating him a dog. "Some things never changes."

Tristan took Joey into a head lock. "Come on Joey don't take it that bad, he's just a kid."

"You are only defending him because he's not insulting you."

"Come on Joey, just look at him, and you have to admit that you really don't have that much manner." Tristan said.

Seto looked up at him; he didn't like that last comment where Tristan said he was just a kid, like he was defenceless. "Nice hair." He said to Tristan with a fake smile, Tristan grinned to Joey. "Doest it point north?"

Tristan turned around in no time. "What?"

"Don't take it personal Tristan, you have to admit that you don't have that much of a hairstyle." Joey and all the others were grinning like crazy.

"All right, I take back what I said about him, he's a spoiled brat."

"Are you sure you have everything you need?" Yugi asked Mokuba before they leave the mansion.

"Don't worry, I can always come back if I need something."

"I don't see why I have to go." Seto said.

"Because you're to young to take care of yourself." Joey said.

"I don't need I baby-sitter, I've been taking care of myself since I was 8."

"I don't care, you are coming and that's final." Joey grabbed his arm and started to pull to make him follow. Everyone turned in surprise when they heard Seto's pain yell. Joey was just as surprised as everyone else. "I barely touched him."

Yugi walked back in front of Seto. "Are you ok?"

"Get lost." Seto answered, still holding his arm

"Hey, we just want to help." Joey said.

"I don't want your help." Seto yelled.

"Fine then, suite yourself." Joey said.

Yugi just watched as Joey walked away, he turned back toward Seto only to receive a look that clearly showed he wasn't going to change his mind, this time however he followed them. When they arrived at the game shop Seto couldn't help but look around, he used to come here almost everyday before his father died.

"Grandpa, we're back." Yugi's word snapped him back to the reality as an old man appeared from the back of the shop.

"So, that's him?" He asked pointing at Seto.

"It's him alright, just as much a jerk as before." Joey complained.

"I prefer to be a jerk than a mutt."

Yugi's grandpa just chuckled. "Yugi, why don't you show them their room so they can put their things away."

"Ok grandpa."

"You know, you really are courageous to let this brat in your house." Joey said to the old man once they were gone.

"That's because you don't know him Joey." The old man answered.

"Because you do?"

"As a matter of fact I do, he used to come here a lot when he was a little bit younger, he really is a nice kid."

"What? You mean you knew Kaiba all this time and you never told us?"

"I had no reason to do so, that was a long time ago and as far as I'm concern his past is none of your concern."

"Does that mean you know why he became such a jerk?"

"Sorry Joey but I don't know any more than you, he used to come here almost each days but one day he just vanished, the next time I saw him was around the same time as you met him."

"And do you know why he disappeared?" Tristan asked.

A shadow passed over the old man eyes. "Yes I know, but just as I said his past is none of you business."

Yugi and Mokuba then came back from the house. "Where's the kid?" Joey asked.

"He didn't wanted to come back, you know, I'm worried about his arm, you barely touched him, it shouldn't have hurt that much."

"That's his problem, he just had to take his chance."

Grandpa just looked at Yugi. "Don't worry about him, he doesn't trust many people and he have his reason but he's a smart kid, once he get tired of the pain he'll let you take care of him."

"And how do you know that?"

"I told you that already Joey, his past-"

"Is none of my concern, I know."

Yugi's grandfather smiled. "I can tell you that much, I've raised three kids so I know what I'm talking about."

"Maybe but we are talking about Kaiba here." Joey said.

"Maybe, but right now he's 12 years old and all kids are the same, trust me." The old man said before leaving the shop.

Joey turned back to Yugi who looked lost in thought. "Hey Yug, what are ya thinking about."

Yugi snapped back in reality. "I was just thinking about what grandpa said."

"You mean is theory about Kaiba letting us take care of him?" Tea asked.

"No, I was thinking about when he said he raised three kid."

"Yea, what about it?" Mokuba asked.

"I know he raised my father and me but we were both unique child."

"And your point is?" Joey asked.

"Isn't there is anything in your head Joey?" Tea asked, she was exasperated. "Yugi's grandfather only had one son: Yugi's father, who only had Yugi and he raised Yugi after his father's death."

"I still don't get where the problem is."

This time it was Tristan who did the explanation. "Come on Joey think, if Yugi's gramps only has one son and one grand-son then who is that third kid he said he raised?"

Hehe I'm evil but right now I'm tired so I'll stop here, anyway my time on the comp is up, don't worry you'll know all those thing Yugi's gramps was so mysterious about…in at least a few more chapter don't tell me you believed me to give you all right away lolll.
