Chapter 3

"I need you to take care of my brother," he said weakly using the boy for support to stand "the last thing I want is for him to have to go back to the orphanage"

"What do you mean, you can still make it the hospital isn't that far" Ryo said.

Kaiba suddenly had a very angry look on his face and griped the collar of Ryo's shirt and lifted him off of the ground "listen, take care of my brother and if I find out that you put him back in an orphanage I swear I will haunt you for the rest of your life!" he dropped Ryo to the ground and clutched his chest in pain and sunk down but Ryo caught him "take care of Mokie" he said before going completely limp in Ryo's arms. He checked for a pulse but there was none. Ryo couldn't believe it…Kaiba was actually dead.

Ryo was in the waiting room. It had been a while since he had run back to the hospital and got two doctors to help him carry Kaiba the rest of the way. Where they had officially announced him dead. He had already been told that he could see Mokuba but he didn't want to go in until he knew how he was going to explain to a 10 year old that his brother was dead.

In the room Mokuba was just waking up. The last thing he remembered was walking down the hallway towards his room. He realized his surroundings almost immediately, he was in a hospital, he never liked them much, ever since he heard the entire story of him mother death. The door opened and a somewhat familiar boy with white hair walked in.

"Bakura?" He asked.

"Your awake?" Ryo said, "How are you feeling?

"Ok, I guess," he answered, "what happened?"

"The doctors said that you passed out from an extremely high fever" The boy said, "your brother found you"

"Where is my brother anyway?" he asked confused as to why it wasn't his brother who walked through the door.

"Mokuba I don't really know how to tell you this but… he is not with us anymore" Ryo looked down at his feet.

"Well where is he then?" he asked not understanding what Ryo was trying to say to him.

"I mean he is dead, I'm sorry" he said and tears started to well up inside of him " I found him with you about a block away from the hospital, he had been shot, and…and… he didn't make it" tears fell down his cheeks he looked up to see Mokuba wide eyed and tears streaming down his face as well. The reality of his brother's position hit him, his brother was gone, and he wasn't coming back.

"No! It's not true he wouldn't leave me like that!" he screamed and jumped out of bed and ran over to Ryo. And before Ryo had a chance to respond he found himself with Mokuba wrapped around his waist almost making it so he couldn't breath. Ryo bent down and returned the embrace. Mokuba felt it awkward, he was so used to doing this with his brother not someone else. They stayed like that for a while until Mokuba finally was able to calm himself down enough to talk. "Bakura what am I going to do, Seto was the only family I had left, I don't want to go back to the orphanage!"

"Well you can stay with me," Ryo said. Sounding as if it was an offer, when in reality it had been an order given to him by Kaiba

"Ok" he said sniffling "can we go now? I don't like hospitals"

Sure we can go" Ryo answered taking Mokuba's hand and leading him out of the room. They informed the doctors that they where leaving and called for a cab since Ryo had been walking before the incident. The ride was silent. Ryo looked at the boy next to him and he knew that he was thinking about his brother. 'Poor kid theirs got to be something I can do, but for know I think he just needs some time alone' he thought to himself thinking back when his parents had died.

The cab pulled into a part of town that didn't exactly make Mokuba feel comfortable. Their was trash all over the place and the buildings where covered in graffiti. The boy remembered his brother telling him to stay clear of this part of town. His brother was so overprotective of him. Who was going to make sure he was safe now that he was gone?

They finally stopped in front of an apartment building and they both got out silently. Ryo handed the cab driver his money and they headed up a few flights of stairs until they reached Ryo's apartment.

Once Ryo opened the door Mokuba was in disbelief at how someone could live in a place so small but he had lived in a mansion for most of his life. Meanwhile Ryo was trying to think of what he was going to do now that he had a 10 year old to look after. 'Well I had a spare room that was going to become an office but I guess it will have to be the kid's room' Ryo thought to himself 'so much for my office'.

"You can get some rest on the couch while get a room ready for you" he said turning to look at Mokuba who was behind him.

Mokuba just nodded his head.

Ryo got some extra blankets out and made sure the boy was fast asleep on the couch before leaving to go make the bed. Their was already a bed in the room so all Ryo had to do was make it. When he was done he went to go check on Mokuba. He found the kid fast asleep but as he got closer he noticed something. The boy had streams of water going down his cheeks. 'Poor kid he must have cried himself to sleep' Ryo thought to himself as he picked the boy up and brought him into the room where he tucked him in and then left to get some sleep of his own after the horrific day.

A special thank you to my very few reviewers. So please tell everyone you know about my story, I can't imagine what would happen if I was one of those authors that has to get a certain number of reviews before they put up a new chapter. I don't like that idea very much. Till next time…
