Tony continued loading up the storage boxes. Records management has got to be the most boring job, but he didn't seem to mind and, more importantly, he was good at it. He liked the physical exercise and it gave his mind time to ponder.

About quitting time and no prior commitments for tonight, I can just go home and relax. He turned back to his desk and saw Seto Kaiba sitting in his chair with an irritated look on his face. Or not, he thought, putting a look for enjoyed surprise on his face. "Mr. Kaiba, what brings you down to the dungeon?"

"I don't understand why I am back here. I pushed the button for the first floor, but the doors opened up here."

"You want me to put in a call to maintenance, have them take a look at the elevator?"

Seto looked up sharply, noted the humor showing in Tony's expression, and said sarcastically, "Very funny."

He looked down at his hands which kept clasping and unclasping. He finally took out his deck and started looking through it. "I seem to be searching for something. I don't know what it is or where to find it."

"Can you see it when you look out the window? I ask that because you wanted a place with no windows."

Seto seriously thought for a moment. "No, but I look anyway, more times that I care to admit." He looked challengingly at Tony. Tony, on the other hand, looked back at him with interest. Seto went back to reviewing his cards.

"Have you found it in your work?" That brought a glare from Seto, but no answer, his hands continued moving through his deck, searching.

"Is it in your deck?"

Seto snarled at Tony and put his deck away. "I didn't come down here to play 20 questions with you. I don't know why I am even here, other than wasting my time!"

He stormed to the elevator and waited for it to arrive. So deep in his rage, he didn't realize that Tony had gotten on the elevator with him and pushed the button for the first floor. The doors opened and Tony stepped out. The lobby was deserted. He turned to Seto and said, "It seems to me that you are looking outward for an answer to an inward question." The President of KaibaCorp looked at the strange expression on Tony's face, felt his anger rising, so reached over and pressed his floor's button. Again, the doors closed between them.

Mokuba was reading over the 10 Commandments card. He had called and spoken to Kirii about the meaning behind several of them. The ones I know right off I have broken:

No other gods before me

Seto's face appeared before him. I have made him my god.

Do not murder (including attitude and intent – thoughts)

Seto's enemies – I have often wished them dead - thought of doing it myself.

Don't steal (value of item does not matter)

His first thought: Duelist Kingdom – again for Seto. I stole a deck and starchips.

Don't lie (white lies, big lies, half-truths, etc.)

Who hasn't?

Am I condemned then, just because I am human? That was the question, and, he realized, the answer. Yes! Whether I knew these laws or not, I am still guilty of breaking them. I am still guilty.

Mokuba laid out on his bed, heartbroken, mourning for his lost, blissful innocence - knowing now that he was just no good.

After a while, he raised his head and he saw the bracelet beside him. He had contemplated the black bead, now he looked at the red. Jesus. God's son? Just who is he? While he had spoken to Kirii earlier, she mentioned reading the Book of John in the Bible, and given him a website where he could call it up and read it. He did so.

Looking outward for an answer to an inward question? What is that suppose to mean? Seto dug back into his work and for a while was lost in it.

What IS it suppose to mean? I know the next time I see him that question will come back into my head. But why would I see him. I have been here all this time without seeing him before. I'll just stay away from him.

/he could be the friend you need …/

Seto took his head out of his hands. Did he just think the word "friend"? That word was not in his vocabulary. Especially not applied to a person he hadn't even known existed before today. What is this emotion I am feeling – anger, annoyance, resentment?

/no … fear …/

Where did that thought come from? Fear of what?

/change …/

Seto was shaken. He stood up and glanced at the clock – only 10pm, but he wasn't getting any work done anyway. He snatched up his briefcase and headed home.

--

Love. That is that Kirii said this Book was about. Love? I get to go to Hell because God loves me? I don't understand.

/read it again …/

Mokuba read it again, this time slowly, making notes of passages. It was starting to become clearer.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him will not perish (go to Hell), but have everlasting life (Heaven).

John 14:6Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father (to Heaven), but by me.

John 15:11These things I have spoken to you that my joy will be in you and that your joy would be full.

He looked again at the red bead and called Kirii.

Seto entered the Kaiba mansion and asked if Mokuba was home. "Yes, sir," said one of the house servants, "and he seemed kind of upset – went straight to his room." Seto frowned and headed to Mokuba's room. He listened at the door and heard nothing. He quietly turned the knob and looked in. The light from the hallway allowed him to see Mokuba, curled up and sleeping. "Mokuba?" He whispered. No response. He slowly closed the door and went back downstairs. He had some research to do – on Tony Reed. What he found surprised him.
