Chapter 4:

The next day Mokuba woke up in a strange room he had never seen before. Thoughts of the day before flooded through his mind. Images of his brother took over and he suddenly felt sick. The door opened and Ryo peeked his head inside.

"Mokuba?" he said. Mokuba didn't say anything so he entered and sat down on the edge of the bed "are you ok, you look sick, I hope that fever isn't coming back" he said putting a hand on Mokuba's forehead. Mokuba pushed it away angrily.

"No, I'm fine, leave me alone!" Mokuba was surprised he didn't know where the anger came from he had never really yelled at anyone before.

'Well I was going to give the kid some time but I guess It would be better if I tell him now' Ryo thought preparing to tell Mokuba something he hadn't expected to tell for quite a while.

"Mokuba I'm really sorry I didn't tell you this before but when I told you about what happened to your brother I left out a few events," he said.

"Like what!" Mokuba shouted still mad.

"When I went back to get your brother he told me to take care of you and to never put you back into an orphanage. I want you to trust me Mokuba, I know it won't be the same as having your brother but I'll try my best" Ryo said hoping the kid would understand.

'I can't believe my brother said that' Mokuba thought to himself 'I bet Bakura wants me to live with him, but I barely even know anything about him and he will be nothing close to my brother but I dont know maybe I canget to know him moreand start totrust him'

"Mokuba?" Ryo asked seeing Mokuba just sit their not moving at all just staring off into space "well you think about it, but when you are hungry breakfast is ready" he said leaving Mokuba to think to himself.

'Bakura seems ok, not like our relatives did when dad died they only wanted my brother because he was a genius. But Ryo, He is different; he really wants to take care of me' suddenly Mokuba noticed that his stomach was rumbling.' I haven't eaten in a long time maybe I should give him a chance' he said getting up and finding the kitchen, Ryo was sitting eating his food alone. Ryo looked up hearing the footsteps to see the kid standing in the doorway.

"Oh hey, you hungry?" he said softly not looking at Mokuba directly.

'He still must be upset that I yelled at him' Mokuba thought "R-Ryo?" she said softly.

Ryo could see that Mokuba was nervous about calling him by his first name and he new his brother was never allowed to be called 'Seto' by anyone except Mokuba. The kid probably thought he was the same way.

"It's ok for you to call me that kid," he said, "what did you want to tell me?"

"I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier I didn't mean it" he said.

"It's quite alright, so are you hungry?" he asked pulling out a chair from the table for him.

After they both ate Mokuba helped Ryo clean off the table. To Mokuba's surprise Ryo's cooking was delicious even compared to the Kaiba Mansion cook's.

They where both quiet as they washed the dishes together, Ryo washed and Mokuba dried. The only sound that could be heard was constant tapping of glass plates against each other. Both boys knew what was going to happen today. The aquward silece gave it away to Mokuba.Something neither of them wanted to do. They had to start planning for the funeral. Even though it was Mokuba's job since he was his only living relative Ryo helped, after all a ten year old should not be responsible for planning an entire funeral by himself. Mokuba however was nervous about something completely different. He knew that know that his brother was gone he would be inheriting Kaiba Corp. His brother had only started to teach him how to handle the company. He was nowhere ready to take over it entirely.

After they where done Ryo took Mokuba to the Kaiba mansion to get some of his clothes. Ryo waited down stairs while the young Kaiba packed. A few minutes later Ryo started to get worried so he went down the hallway he had seen Mokuba go down. He went up the stairs, and once at the top it was all too easy to find the room. All the maids and butlers had left leaving the entire house dead quiet. The sound of movement was easy to pick up. He slowly opened the door to the room to find the young raven-haired boy still packing. Mokuba didn't seem to even notice Ryo's arrival.

"You know, you don't have to pack everything. If you want we can even move in here. I know my apartment is very small and you're probably not used to it" Ryo's first words made Mokuba jump but only for a second.

"Oh, Hi Ryo" he said in a small voice just above a whisper "no it would only make me think of him every time I was home" he answered turning around and going back to him packing.

"That's fine, are you almost done?" he asked.

"Yes all done," he said closing the bag and walking over to Ryo "we can leave".

Ok that's all for now. I'm really sorry once again for the wait; I just couldn't handle writing at that time. And hopefully I can handle it now. I'm not sure yet. And I will leave you with a little bit of advice I herd somewhere:

"Relationships are like Glass, It's better to be broken that to get hurt trying to pick up the pieces".
