A/N: Many thanks to MikariStar and MikaSamu for reviewing. I hope everyone likes this chapter too.
Gozaburo's POV
They don't know I'm watching them. I am like a thief, waiting in the shadows for an opportunity to strike. They think they got rid of me, long ago, but they are wrong. It will cost them dearly.
They're so amusing; these pitiful fools who think that power can be controlled by luck. Authority and success don't come from childish games or temper tantrums. It comes from work, hard work. Pain. Sweat. Blood. Tears.
You disappoint me, Seto. I invested so much time, effort and money in training you, preparing you for the real world. You showed such promise, but you've failed. You'll always be weak. Mokuba is the chink in your armor. If you hadn't let emotion cloud your thinking you could have climbed to the to top, crushing all who got in your way, claiming the world for your own. Now look at you. Bested by a spoiled brat.
Mokuba surprises me though. I never gave him much thought. He was always quiet, his older brother's silent shadow. Who knew the spineless worm would have the strength to resist the power of my virtual world? Well, don't celebrate just yet my young step-sons. You may have won the battle but if I know Noah he'll have another ace up his sleeve.
Ahh, Noah. A true son after my own heart. I know you too well. Your ruthlessness is to be admired. Turning them to stone an instant before they reunite, frozen in time forever, separated for all eternity. To be so close and yet so far away- how cruel! I wish I had thought of it.
It's a pity your accident took you before you could reach your potential. It rendered your physical body useless so in my naivety I created a way for your mind to live on. Brilliant though it is, my virtual world ruined what was left of you. It catered to your every whim, granted your every wish, pampered, mollycoddled and babied you. It kept you a selfish brat, never allowing you the chance to grow. Thus you remain a self-centered child, always assuming your wants will be instantly gratified.
You want control, of course. The Kaiba name carries with it an inherent lust for power. Well, it's slipping from your fingers. Looks like I'll have to take over now. Don't act surprised when I tell you you've failed. You were too trusting, just like Seto. He trusts his brother, you trust me. Mokuba came through for him, but don't expect that from me. I don't share power.
A/N: Well, that's the last chapter. Yay my first non-oneshot fic ever is complete! (throws confetti in the air). Please Please Please review. I've discovered I really like writing in first person and I want to write some more in the future so any suggestions/corrections you make would be greatly appreciated!
