Lost and Found: Run Mokuba, Run!
By Juel Haruna
Previously...
At that precise moment, to Mokuba's astonishment, Mrs. Tsukishiro appeared at the door.
"All right children, its bedtime so you all must return to your rooms. Our new friend needs to get ready as well!"
"Bedtime?" Mokuba thought, "How long have I been unconscious?"
The kids cleared the room (Kitty giving Mokuba a small kiss goodnight) and Tsukishiro stood lastly at the door.
"Oh no, it's the foster lady! This is bad." Mokuba held his breath in terror.
"This is your new home, so learn to like it," she said glaring at the small Kaiba brother, "There is no way to run this time. No way to run, Mokuba. . ."

Here's the fic, READ AND REVIEW!
Chapter 5... "Escape"
It was a very long night.
Mokuba lay on the hard, dusty mattress as he watched the shadows bounce off the wall. The room was slowly being consumed by darkness.
This darkness, however, was no match for the sadness in Mokuba's heart.
Why had he left Seto?
Was he angry with his brother?
Was he afraid that he was in the way of his brother?
Was he confused?
. . . . or had he left for no reason in which he could think of?
Mokuba closed his eyes and pondered this for a brief moment, before the door creaked open.
"Mokuba?"
Little Kitty was standing in the doorway, clutching a tiny doll.
"Kitty? What are you doing here?" asked Mokuba sitting up.
She shed a tear, "I can't find Teddy . . . he disappeared . . ."
Mokuba sighed, lifting Kitty onto the bed next to him.
"Who's Teddy?"
"M-my big brother."
Mokuba wrapped an arm around the small girl.
"You must like him a lot, huh?"
Kitty nodded, "Yes, we're best friends. Teddy promised me that we would always be together . . . but now I don't know where he is."
Mokuba smiled, "Don't worry, he'll come back. Brothers and sisters have to stick together. Without a mom or dad, who else would you rely on for safety?
He then thought of Seto, his only family. The only one who would protect him. The only one he cared for the most. His one and only brother.
"You know, I have a big brother too."
"Really?"
"Yep, he's real great! He works most of the time, but he takes care of me all the same!"
"Where did he go?"
"He didn't go anywhere, I did. I ran away."
"Why?"
"Well, because I thought he would like it better if I wasn't there . . . but I realize . . . . . I was wrong. I need Seto, and he needs me."
Kitty looked thoughtfully up at Mokuba.
"Is Seto his name?" she asked.
"Yeah . . ." he replied.
"Well, so I was right! You are Seto Kaiba's little brother."
Mokuba and Kitty looked up at the rusty ceiling vent to see two large eyes staring back at them.
"Teddy! There you are!"
Teddy moved the vent and hopped down on the floor.
"Kitty, what are you doing out of bed? It's late!"
"W-what about you? Why are you out of bed? I was looking all over for you!"
Teddy shrugged at this last remark, "I'm on a mission," he faced Mokuba, "I had a feeling you were Mokuba Kaiba. I know that you shouldn't be here, so I'm gonna do you a favor and bust you out."
Mokuba's face lit up, "You are?"
"Yep. I know this place like the back of my hand, so I absolutely know that every outside door is locked. This is why I'm leading you out through the ventilation, it's huge enough for us both to crawl through, and it leads outside the building! I just want to know if you're ready?"
Mokuba nodded, "Yes, lead the way."
Teddy pushed a dresser under the ceiling vent.
"Good. Kitty, say goodbye to Mokuba, 'cause he's going home."
Kitty hugged Mokuba, "I'll miss you!"
"I'll miss you too Kitty." They let go.
Teddy climbed the dresser and crawled back into the vent, "Come on, by the time the old hag wakes up, you should be gone!"
Mokuba followed Teddy into the ceiling and that was the last sight of Kitty he saw, her clutching her doll and gazing at him with teary eyes.
CRASH!
"Crap!"
SCREECH!
"For Pete's sake!"
MREEOOOOWWW!
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
Seto was driving his jet black limo at top speed. Yugi was sitting next to him holding on to the foe leather seat for dear life.
"Kaiba, d-don't you think we should slow down a bit?"
"Can it Mutou, I finally have a lead on Mokuba and I'm not going to rest until we've found him! Unless you have a problem, I won't kick you out of this car while we're going 90!"
"Uh, nope, no problem here!"
Yugi gulped as they continued down the road. Didn't think Seto could drive, did ya?
Teddy was right, the vents were big. They had been crawling through the ceiling for over five minutes, and Teddy assured him that they were almost there.
"Hey Teddy, where did you get the time to figure out this whole ventilation system?"
"First of all, call me Ted. Second of all, me and my sister have been orphaned here for over three year, which is plenty of time to memorize the floor plan by day and by night."
"But Ted, If you know how to escape, why don't you?"
"Because, Kitty and I have a better chance of being adopted by staying here and putting up with Tsukishiro, then roughing it out in the city. I did think about leaving, but I decided that Kitty's much too young and wouldn't like living in the streets."
Mokuba nodded as they approached a large vent in the wall.
"This is it, my stop and your exit. Good luck finding your brother."
"Thank you Ted, and good luck finding a better home."
The two boys shook hands, and Mokuba climbed out of the vent and dropped to the ground on the side of the building. It was very dark now, there was no one in sight.
With one quick wave to Ted, he dashed around the corner and down the street. He was going to be with his brother soon, he felt it.
