Chapter 10

Haunting pasts

A sudden crash, flames, everywhere, it was hot, and the rain was falling everywhere. "Mom, Dad, where are you?" cried a little girl, as she lay on the street road after car accident covered in oil and mud. The girl tried to get up however her leg was injured and the pain was too much, "HELP, someone, MOM, DAD, where are you," cried the girl limped around cause her leg to hurt even more finally falling to the ground as she slipped on some mud and oil as the rain came down.

Two figures slowly appeared, one taller then the other, "here it's ok, take it easy my brother and I will look after you," said the taller boy. The girl could not see through her tears and it was dark. However, she felt a hand on her shoulder as she cried, "Where are my parents? I have to find them," asked the girl in tears.

"They didn't make it like our Dad didn't either they fell to the rocks below, we're all alone now, just all three of us," said the taller boy kneeing down to the girl's level. The girl continued to cry, "It's not fair, why this had to happen to them? We were just going to their friend's house," she asked crying.

"I can't answer that but we will take care of you until help arrives, ok, hey you can stop crying now, your safe," said the older boy as he saw out of the corner of his eye his brother heading to the side of the road holding his arm with the dirty piece of pant leg on his wound. "I can't help it, I just lost both my parents in one night," said the girl.

The flames were getting hotter around them the boy thought it was best to get away from the flames, now, they weren't as safe as he first assumed seeing oil all over the road, "Come on, we all need to get out of this heat before it kills all of us," said the taller boy. The girl looked up at the boy standing above her, "Your legs broken probably, but you can use me as a crutch, to get to the side of the road, where my brother is," he said.

The girl nodded and took the boy's outstretched hand he helped her off the ground and over to the side of the road where the younger boy was already sitting for he felt it was best to get away from the hot stuff as soon as possible he was glad his older brother thought the same.

The two children sat there while the older boy looked at the girl's leg, "yep it's a brake best not to stand on it," he said. The girl nodded, looking at the boy, his face she could not be seen in the darkness, and however his eyes was like a lighthouse she could see as a shining blue light to guide her to safety and was now keeping her safe from the fiery wreck in front of them.

"Thank you," said the girl, "I owe you, one." The boy shook his head, "not really actually my brother and I were trying to find away out of the wreckage when we heard you, calling out, I had to help," said the older boy. The girl smiled, "Thanks," she said, then looking over to the younger boy, "What about him, is he alright?" The older boy shook his head, "Not really he has a hurt arm, I tried to patch it however it won't stop bleeding I don't have anything tight enough to close it, or clean enough I am covered like you in oil and mud," he answered.

The girl looked at her tattered dress and ripped a large piece of it off after seeing a rather large gash on the young boy's arm it was the cleanest part of her dress which made the dress into a short mini shirt, "Here this will stop the bleeding," said the girl tying it up. The younger boy smiled, "thank you," he said, to the girl with his shinnying purple/black eyes.

The girl smiled, she then saw the younger boy shiver in the rain, "We're going to catch our death in this rain if we don't get warm soon," said the girl. The older boy nodded, as the girl took his little brother into her arms, "Would you stay with me?" asked the girl to the little boy.

Black haired boy in the girl's arms nodded as he clung to the girl as tight as he could. The older boy smiled, slightly, sat next to the girl wrapping his arm around his brother and the girl, and as the rain came down to put out the flames the three children who became orphans that night stayed alive through each other.

The girl felt the older boy get up once the rain had stopped and the moon shining however; it was still slightly cloudy, "Where are you going," asked the girl grabbing the boy's hand. "I need to stand, you ok?" he asked wondering why she would panic suddenly. The girl shook her head, "Stay with me please?" asked the girl.

End flashback

Alec was in Seto's room about to leave when he took her hand and asked the very same question, "Stay with me?" he said to her as she was heading to the door. The memory of that horrible night rang in Alec's head suddenly, she remembered it all even though she didn't want to, however it was the last time she had seen that boy and his brother was that horrible night, and why the memory was now popping up seemed to make her head hurt.

"Alec, stay with me," Seto said calmly knowing it wasn't like him to ask for help however, he didn't want to be alone anymore, while holding Alec's hand, he reached for it. Seto had just told Alec the truth that he was tried of being alone that he hated the life he was living before the take over and Katharine's interference, and most drastic of all he spilled his guts.

(I know don't rag on me we all know he really wouldn't tell all but I kind of hit a block there on that idea expect me to make improvements in the future)

Alec looked at Seto her blue eyes met his; the situation was just too strange she was not ready for this and she thought Kaiba was not either, yeah they talked for hours about stuff however it wasn't right to stay in his room for the night.

"I can't, I have to go to bed upstairs maybe, tomorrow I will move you upstairs so that way you don't have to be down here by yourself, anymore. Since you're tried of being alone," said Alec pulling away from Seto.

Seto moved quickly and caught Alec's arms again, "Why not tonight?" he asked, looking at her. Alec closed her eyes, she knew that she could put Kaiba upstairs in the other room, with that thought in her head she nodded and handed Seto his extra crutch.

An hour later Seto was in his new master bedroom, it was large with a king size bed, and its own bathroom just outside the door. The room had a little space that a desk and dresser sat; the closet was on the same side as the door and the bed in the middle of the room. A sliding glass door was near the bed on the far side of the room that went out, to the balcony of the second level, which surrounded the house.

Alec returned to her room, holding her right arm as if something had cut her or had just touched something evil, 'Why did that memory come back when he touched me? I never had that happen before, what is happening to me?' she asked herself in thought while shaking.

Flashback

"Stay with me please I'm scared," she asked reaching for him trying not to wake the sleeping, raven hair boy in her arms.

"I am going to check something to see if anyone else made it you never know," he said.

"But my parents where the only ones besides me in the car, and you said they didn't make it, right," said the girl.

The older taller boy nodded, "I know, I just want… we're on the side of the road we need to make a signal, or something to get help we don't know if my brother's arm will be infected thanks to all the gunk that you and I are covered in," he said. The girl could tell that the boy was trying to get away from her for a few minutes, she thought that he felt something for her and he didn't know what it was at that time, the girl was feeling the same way that she knew for sure.

The girl looked at him, the sky was clear now, it was cold and windy and a full moon was shining on them. "Just promise to come back," she said looking at his blue eyes in the light.

The boy nodded his head, "I promise, just take care of my little brother, until I get back," he said and went walking towards the wreckage.

End flash back

Alec remembered that boy, however she had not seen him since that day, and she thought once that the boy could have been, Kaiba himself. However, that was wiped away when she saw how evil he could be to people after watching him rip her grandfather's favorite card, and telling him the truth that she was actually Yugi's missing cousin from his father's side.

Alec took a deep breath and remembered suddenly about when she found out what family she was from, only 6 years ago now. It had been one month before Seto and Yugi had their duel when the information had finally come to her. Alec finally told Kaiba about her true family, just after his loss to Yugi, she did it by saying, "the guy who just beat him was her cousin on his father's side."

Alec then though about if Seto could be the boy again, but he wasn't the boy she met that night, there was just no way however there was still a possibility their stories were just too alike, also the boy, and Seto had the same eyes at times however there was a fog and wall around them. However, that alone wasn't much to go off, if at all. The boy had a little brother that had purple colored eyes Mokuba's eyes, were purple almost tinted a very dark purple.

(After doing about six hours of looking at screen caps of Mokuba's eyes go from a bluish purple to dark purple, so there oh and I am not doing that again for anyone else)

Alec walked over to her bed, she curled up in it, she lay on one side of it with a pillow pressed against her stomach to make it as if holding a teddy bear as she slowly cried herself to sleep trying to push the memories of the night her parent's death away. Seto stood in small hallway where Alec could not see him, as he watched her fall into uneasy rest he had watched her from the moment he heard her door close however, she didn't notice him when she walked towards the bed.

Seto sighed as he went back to his room, he sat on the bed and placed the crutch on the floor, and rolled into bed, he remembered Alec telling him the story of the night her parents died in the car wreck, they both, pretty much had almost the same story. However, Alec had forgotten to mention the boy had a brother, Alec told Seto that she never got the boy's name just remembered his eyes and that they were a deep blue that shining like a lighthouse in a sea of despair for lost souls to find their way home.

Seto raised an eyebrow when thought about that, Mokuba used to say that to him all the time when they were at the orphanage saying he heard it from the girl they rescued, the night their father died.

Flashback

"Seto your eyes look like lighthouses, did you ever know that?" asked Mokuba one day as they sat by the swings on the playground. Seto looked at his brother puzzled, "Where did you get that idea?" he asked. Mokuba shrugged his shoulders, "From the girl we helped, a few weeks ago. Umm, Seto do you think we will see her again?" he asked. Seto shrugged his shoulders, "I hope so, because I think something happened up there on that hill Mokuba, something I don't really want to explain," he said. The younger boy laughed, "Yeah, you kissed her," he said. Seto looked at his brother, "Don't tease me for it, ok, besides something about her was different," he said.

Mokuba started giggling, "Why can't I tease you? It was your first kiss," he said. Seto crossed his arms, "Not another word about it, or I may have to tickle you," he said. Mokuba's eyes widened he used to fear his brother's tickle torture, "Ok, I won't mention it again, but she was kind of cute, like a big sister, to me, if we do find her will you marry her or something?" he said. Seto nodded, "Yeah, I guess, I don't know I am only 12, Mokuba I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life with a girl that I saved and only knew for a few hours? However she made me feel like she was family, I think Dad may have known her parents why else would he drive up that road at night in the rain, just to see two friends and their daughter," he said.

"Seto, umm, I think the girl was right," said Mokuba suddenly changing the subject. Seto looked at him, "I don't have light houses for eyes, see," he said staring at his brother. Mokuba giggled, "I know but they look that way to me, and to her, maybe we can find her by having her say that, you know the light house thing?" Seto shrugged his shoulders, "We'll, see Mokuba, we'll see," he said rubbing his hand in his younger brother's hair.

End flashback

Seto looked out the sliding glass door of his room, as he watched the rainfall on the lighted porch, it made him think of that night it was raining just as it was that very moment.

Seto's flash back

Mokuba was next to Seto in the back seat, drinking some juice as their dad drove them home. Suddenly the car wavered out of control on the slippery road and smacked into another car everything at that point went black and the sound of something blowing up. Seto and Mokuba were both thrown from the car without too much injury, nothing major except a gash on Mokuba's arm that he got from the car metal sticking out, which Seto tired to stop from bleeding using the inside his dirty pant leg however it didn't help much. He could not do a very good job being covered with dirt and oil from head to toe.

All that Seto cared about was his brother being safety, and he was too, but with the wound bleeding as it was, Seto doubted with the weather or not his brother would make it through the night. That was until the girl he pulled out for the wreckage gave his brother part of her skirt and stopped the bleeding with it.

End Seto's flashback

Seto sat up and reached into his packet, he had the weathered piece of cloth, it was smaller now then it was when it had been around Mokuba's arm from wear and tear over the last 11 years. Seto did not remember getting the girl's name just that she had blue eyes that matched his, except they were not a shinnying light from a lighthouse but stars in the sky.

Seto sighed; he did not get the name of the girl as Alec did not get the name of the boy. They had more in common then Seto originally thought, and since Alec knew his past better then anyone but Mokuba now, it made sense to him why she cared. 'Maybe just maybe,' Seto thought, 'Alec could be that girl that saved Mokuba, however, she didn't say anything about saving him, nor did she mention that the guy had a brother.'

Seto had to know, and he would ask in the morning for sleep was coming upon him, he wanted to know the truth actually he had to know. Could Alec maybe could see that boy in him that much was certain, maybe that is why she saved him from Katharine, 'Maybe she thinks I am him? But is it even probable that she could have been the one?' however instead of getting answers only more questions seemed to appear now.

Cherry-star-aus: Thanks for the review and I am glad you think it was cute.

Darkstar: Well here, it is the next chapter and yet, I feel that this chapter sucked because well I don't know why just feel like I should have at least put some detail of Kaiba and Alexandra's conversation in. Yeah it's hard for Kaiba to talk, and, yet Alec has that knack to make him show a little emotion to her however Kaiba is mean to Alec still, as you will see in the next chapter which will be coming here in either a few days or next week. Probably in a few days because I am tried of waiting again, lol I feel my two headed muses Seto/Joey muse nagging at me. The boxers will be back in later chapter or next chapter I can't remember I feel like I am losing my touch for writing this story but I am going to stick with it. I put more detail on the store when Alec goes back to it, it should help a little and yes they are in the middle of no where on a hill top. LOL
