Chapter 5: Shedding Tears

Disclaimer: I am not an owner of Yu-Gi-Oh, but I do however own all of my stories and accounts. I hope you don't think I own Yu-Gi-Oh, because I don't. However, I DO own Tea/Anzu's mother Kima Nozomi Gardener. Like I said in chapter four Nozomi means hope in japanese.

Hello people. Long time no update, hmm? Well, I decided to =try= to make this chapter longer because of the long wait in updating, ok? I hope you like it and I hope you enjoy it. Also, I realized that Seto and Tea are step brother and sister (in a way) so they can't really have a love relationship, but they could have fluff! Sorry guys! I can't really believe it! 15 reviews with only 4 chapters! A miracle I say! MIRACLE! … sorry about that. On with it!

Here are some japanese words that might be in here:

Konichiwa- hello
Ohayo- good morning
Gomen nisai- sorry
Niisama- older brother
ototo- little brother
Arigatou- thank you
Onegai- Please
aishiteru- i love you
minna- everyone
Hai- yes
Iie- no
Ja ne- see you later
Yugi-tachi- Yugi and friends (I think)
Nozomi- Hope
Kawaii- cute (though I am sure most of you know what this word means ;)
Osaymui- good night

Summary: After Seto was adopted by Gozaburo, Mokuba was left behind at the orphanage. It had taken years for Mokuba to find a home...someone that would care for him, until he finally found one.


It was 9:00 at night, and Seto was working in his office. Suddenly, he heard the loud sound of thunder and a yelp coming from the guest room.

"Mokuba…"he said silently. He turned off his computer after saving his program and went into the guest room, only to find Mokuba under the covers of a blanket on the couch, shivering like mad.

Seto sighed and walked over to the couch and picked up Mokuba in his arms, rocking him back and forth. Mokuba was breathing fast, his heart was pounding, and he was crying.

"It's all right, Mokuba,"he said, rubbing his brother's back gently. "Hush."

This calmed the boy, that is, until another loud clap of thunder was heard. Mokuba yelped and grabbed his brother's coat, not willing to let go.

Seto remembered how Mokuba was always terrified of thunderstorms in the orphanage, and knew what would make him feel better. He looked down at Mokuba.

"Mokuba, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Mokuba looked up at Seto with tears in his eyes. "Really, Seto? Is it ok?"

Seto chuckled. "Of course it is, Mokuba."

Mokuba giggled, and nodded. He snuggled in closer to Seto as Seto got up off the couch with the blanket his brother was using, and wrapped it around his brother as he walked into his own room.

Seto changed Mokuba into his pajamas because the kid was all ready asleep, and got into his own and settled into bed for the night, keeping a tight grip around his brother. "Osayumi, ototo."

.....

That night Yugi and Tea slept together in his bed, Yugi comforting Tea because of her loss.

"It's going to be ok, Tea,"Yugi said, rubbing the crying girl's back. "I promise."

"Thank you, Yugi,"Tea said, smiling a heart-breaking smile that would make anyone melt. "I needed that."

"I can tell you did,"Yugi said. "…Does Mokuba know about this?"

Tea shook her head sadly. "He's still with — "suddenly a loud clap of thunder made both of them jump out of their skin. They looked out at the window in Yugi's room, rain, thunder and lightning filled the sky.

"This is just not a good way to end a tragic day, is it?"Yugi asked.

Tea shook her head sadly. Mokuba had always been terrified of thunder, so she hoped he was ok with Kaiba at his mansion. She began to worry.

Yugi noticed her worry and said "Don't worry, Tea,"he said softly. "I am sure Kaiba is looking after him. He's probably asleep by now."

"Either that or hiding behind his brother because of his fear of storms like these,"Tea corrected him. Probably what he is doing now…

"Hmm… I do actually hope that Kaiba is taking good care of your brother, Tea,"Yugi said. "They have been separated for over 6 years like you said before, who knows what's going on over there?"

"I hope he's ok."

"I am sure he'll be fine, Tea,"Yugi said, trying to be comforting. He wanted to comfort Tea, but just couldn't find the right words to do so. So he just stuck with the "its going to be ok" part, and it seemed to help out alot.

"Yugi, how do you think Mokuba will react to Mom's death? I mean, his real mom all ready died. Father all ready died and his own did too. I mean…"Tea said.

Yugi nodded. "I know what you mean, Tea."

"I just hope he's willing to accept the fact that she is gone,"Tea said.

"Do you, Tea? Do you accept the fact that she is gone and won't be able to come back?"Yugi asked.

The other Yugi…Tea thought, seeing Yugi transform. "Y - Yes, I do, Yami."

"You're mind might, Tea,"he said. "But does your heart?"

- - - - - - - - - - -

Mokuba woke up to a loud clap of thunder. He yelped, but then felt strong arms, wrap around him. He looked beside him, and saw Seto looking at him with his sleepy blue eyes.

"Are you all right, ototo?"Seto asked sleepily.

Mokuba nodded. "The storm woke me up, Seto."

Seto nodded. "It woke me up, too."

"When do you think it'll pass, Seto?"Mokuba asked quietly.

Seto looked outside at the storm. "I would probably say… half an hour." He looked at Mokuba. "Could you wait that long, kiddo?"

"I - I'll try, Niisama."

"That's good, ototo,"he said, absentmindedly stroking Mokuba's long raven streaks of hair, looking out at the window at the storm, lightning beaming in the sky, thunder crashing down and rain pouring like hell. "Go back to sleep, ototo. Nothing will — "

Suddenly the power went off. Mokuba yelped and snuggled in closer to Seto. Seto's arm tightened around Mokuba, rubbing his back gently. "Don't worry, Mokuba,"he said. "It is going to be okay. I wont let anything happen to you. Just relax and go to sleep."

"W - Will you stay here, Niisama?"

"Of course I will, Mokuba, and besides, the emergency power should be on soon if nothing else, so just go to sleep, all right?"

"Hai, Niisama. Osayumi."

"Osayumi, ototo."

Soon, both Kaiba brothers were asleep, with Mokuba in Kaibas arms.
