The Truth

Kaiba slowly opened his eye. Sunlight came through the shoji window and hit him square on his face. Kaiba attempted to get up from his futon, but found it unsucessful when a sharp pain was felt from his side.

Kaiba fell back down and decided to turn his head around instead to observe his surroundings.' I remember fighting Yugi and then darkness, shit I fell unconscious so Yugi still lives' Kaiba thought cursing himself. He looked around his room and found nothing but his busted armor laying next to him.

' Probaly don't trust me with my swords even if I'am wounded' Kaiba thought. He then heard the shoji door open and several people walk in and sit down crossed legged next to him. One was Serenity and the other was Yugi. Kaiba turned his head away disgusted by seeing his brother's killer alive and well.

" Kaiba are you awake" Serenity asked." Define awake" Kaiba asked sarcastically. Serenity turned to Yugi who nodded." Kaiba we need to talk to you" Serenity said." Not interested, go away and leave me to some sleep" Kaiba said closing his eye." Kaiba you most listen to what I have to say" came the voice of Yugi.

Kaiba reamined motionless so Yugi continued." Serenity told me of what happened and I grieve for youe lose, but you most understand I had nothing to do with the attack" Yugi said calmly. Kaiba opened his eye and quickly turned his head." What do you mean you didn't do it, the shinobi's wore the exact uniforms as yours" Kaiba yelled.

Yugi shook his head." That may be, but you have to believe me that someone has set us up in a attempt to take both of us out" Yugi said. Kaiba turned his head back around and faced the opposite wall." Kaiba please believe him" Serenity said." If you didn't do it , then who did" Kaiba asked.

" A man by the name of, Gozaburo" Yugi said. Kaiba sat there for a moment thinking over the situation." Leave me" he said. Yugi bowed and left, but Serenity decided to stay." Are you okay" she asked. Kaiba turned his head to look at her." Why did you come" he asked.

" To make sure you were safe, I thought you wouldn't come back" she said." I would of, if Yugi hadn't beaten me" Kaiba cursed." You still want to fight him" she asked." Yes our rivaly won't be over untill one of us is dead" Kaiba said.

Serenity lowered her head and rose from her spot and walked out. Kaiba watched her leave and then closed his eye for some sleep.

" But Yug you just can't let him leave, hes killed Tristan and several guards and hes also tried to kill you, not to mention that we could end this war right here" Joey complained." I know Joey, but we most let Kaiba go so he can find himself and the man responsible for his little brothers death" Yugi said calmly.

Joey nodded in disapproval and was about to walk away when he bumped into Serenity." Ah sorry about that miss" Joey apologized." Oh that was my fault" she smiled." You know what I just get the feeling we've met before, where were you born" Joey asked.

" I was born in Nagasaki, but was taken from my home when I was twelve and forced to work in a brothel house, untill Lord Kaiba saved me one night" Serenity said. Joey rubbed the bottom of his chin and scratched his head." I remember when I was young growing up in Nagasaki I had a sister, but me and my dad were called to war and I never saw her again" Joey said.

" Oh I'am sorry" Serenity said." Nah no biggy, well see you later" Joey said waving goodbye. Serenity waved bye too as Joey left Yugi's room. Yugi sat there shocked, how could those two not even know they were brother and sister was beyond him." Serenity do you remember if you had a brother growing up" Yugi asked.

Serenity nodded," No just me and my mother" she answered." Then how can I put this, Joey is your brother" Yugi plainly came out and said.

Serenity looked at the Eastern lord shocked and then began laughing." Thats a good joke" she said, but stopped laughing when she saw Yugi's stern face." Its the truth, because I remember recruting Joey and seeing his little sister about three then with her mother and her long red hair" Yugi said.

Serenity looked at Yugi for a moment and then turned and ran after Joey. She soon caught up to him." Joey please wait" she called. Joey slowly turned," Yes what can I do for you Sis" he said. Serenity stopped and looked at Joey." You knew" she asked." Yep Yugi just told me, I just wanted to see if you would figure it out" Joey said.

Serenity smiled and jumped into Joey's arms." Big Brother" she said. Joey patted her head," It been along time hey Ren" he said using Serenity's nickname.

Kaiba woke up from his nap and looked around, by the redness of the sky he would guess it was eve. Kaiba tried again to get up, but found it a failing process again. He sat back down and looked around the room." I wonder what Rapheal's doing right now, they better be rebuilding my castle" Kaiba said.

Just then the shoji door opened and Serenity ran in smiling." Guess what Kaiba" she said." What" Kaiba replied looking at her." I just found my long lost brother" she said smiling." So what does that have to do with me" he asked coldly. Serenity soon lost her smile," I just thought you would be happy for me" she said.

" Ha I'll be happy when I can leave this damn place and find Mokuba's killer" Kaiba said. He then tired getting up again and by fighting through his pain he managed to sit straight up. He then slowly stood up on his two feet. He stretched for a moment popping his bones.

He was in his black and grey kimono now and was not going to wear his armor due to it being destroyed." Where are my swords" he asked. Serenity stood and motioned for Kaiba to follow her. He followed her untill they reached Yugi's throne room. They entered it and Kaiba looked to see all of Yugi's generals standing there.

When he entered the room he could fell daggers being glared into him. He just grunted and walked forward towards Yugi. He looked over and saw Tea who had a purple bruise on her cheek." You should put ice on that" Kaiba told her. He then turned to look at Yugi's rag tag army." Wheres Taylor, he won't get ahead in life if hes not at the war council, now will he" Kaiba said glaring at Yugi.

" Kaiba if you are just going to make fun to my army and the people you killed then I suggest you leave" Yugi said." You know I was about to but I decided to stay and extra night" Kaiba laughed. Joey approached Kaiba spear in hand and pointed the tip of it at Kaiba's neck." Hey there mutt, better put that down before you poke your eye out" Kaiba said.

" How about I poke your other eye out for you, Kaiba" Joey said." Ouch that almost hurt me, just like that hit you gave me last night" Kaiba laughed. Joey grew angry and thrusted his spear at Kaiba's right eye. Kaiba was gone in and instant and behind Joey." Thats the second time I've gotten behind you Wheeler" Kaiba said." Joey enough" Yugi shouted.

Joey bowed in acknowledgement and went back to where he was sitting." Kaiba I think it was time you left" Yugi said." I was thinking the same thing, I just came to get my swords back, they are the ones that will kill you" Kaiba said. Yugi shook his head and a guard appoached Kaiba handing him his two katanas.

" There is a horse outside for you, now leave" Yugi said. Kaiba bowed mockingly and left the throne room with Serenity behind him. As he walked outside he stopped and turned to Serenity." This is goodbye" Kaiba said coldly. He then turned and walked towards his horse." What do you mean bye" Serenity asked approaching Kaiba who was mounted on the horse.

" I mean you and me are over, you can stay here and live a 'sub-normal' life without fear of being killed" Kaiba answered." But I want to be with you, thats why I came here" Serenity said. Kaiba looked at her," You will only slow me down, woman" he spat.

He the slapped his horse and took off out of Edo. Serenity sat there watching him leave her again. She fell down crying more than she did the first tim, for she knew she would never see him again.

Kaiba didn't look back as he rode his horse towards Osaka.' I'am sorry Serenity, the real reason I can't have you near me is that I don't want to lose another person I love' Kaiba thought.

He then cursed himself when he felt his eyes begin to water. Then slowly silent, still tears fell down the Western lord's face.'' Good-bye, sweet Serenity" he said as he rode away from Edo.
