Its times like these that I have to assert my authority as an authority in this boy's life. Its really not a question of me not wanting this, I do, but it has everything to do with the fact that I have work to do, so this cannot continue, even on October 25th.

"STOP TICKLING ME!" He just cackles and continues. "Mokuba, Stop!" I haven't laughed this hard in… well… I never have. He doesn't stop, he just tickles me like a mad man. "MOKUBA STOP! I cant breathe!" He gets off of me, still laughing. I gasp, catching my breath.

"Happy birthday nii-sama!" I just roll my eyes. I had honestly forgotten about it… Well I knew what day it was, but I had not made the connection. I don't even have it marked on my own calendar. July 7th is scribbled all over with various colored pens. But October 25th is completely vacant. I sit up in bed and he brings me a trey, covered with food. Food, if you could call it that. It's obvious that he made it himself.

"What is it?"

"Pancakes. They're not pretty I know, but I made them my self, and they taste ok." I looked at him, then down at the food. Lightly buttered, like I like them. I cut a peace and put it in my mouth.

"Not bad." I lied. They were horrible, but they were the best pancakes I ever ate in my entire life. We shared them, he thought they were the most delicious things as well.

"So Seto Kaiba. It's your first morning as an 18 year old. What are you going to do now?" I got out of bed, stretching.

"I'm going to go to work. Like any other day." He looked at me, pouting slightly.

"You can't go to work. Its your birthday." I just looked at him. He looked very sweet, sitting there on my bed like that. "Please Seto? Can't we do something else?" I rolled my eyes, I can't say no to him.

"What did you have in mind?" I didn't say 'yes' either, but his face lit up as if I had. He just smiled, that evil, scary, little smile. He jumped off of the bed and ran to the window, throwing open the curtains. I looked out, my blue Eyes jet sitting in our back yard. The lawn is completely destroyed, he had odvousley landed it, and very poorly. "What?"

"Get dressed and meet me out side!" He said, running from the room.

So… my wonderful, innocent, darling, caring, evil, scary, little brother flew me, on my favorite toy, to an island in the middle of nowhere. Just us, on this little island, a little cabin, bare essentials, Usually, I would want nothing to do with this. But it was my Birthday.

That one day, I was not 18, I was 8. We played on the beach for hours and hours, running in the water, swimming, laughing, being us. I felt stupid. But this was the last day I was ever able to have fun, so I used it to it's full advantage. We feel asleep on the beach at about three in the morning, next to a fire. Completely innocent, completely wonderful.

"Will things always be this perfect?" He said to me.

"I hope so." But when I responded, he was already asleep in my arms.

There was No Kaiba Corp, no coffee pots, no Duel Disks, no evil sprits… just two brother, on the greatest day of their lives.

Aww... I know I do good when I make myself tear up...

maliks-mistress: The Forbidden Word: Plot. I know that the story dosent have one... its not suposed to. Thats what makes this story so rock-awsome. I dont think It's getting repeditive... I think this Chapter and every other one is unique... I make sure of that... And Seto is getting out of character? I Beg to differ... but what ever you think...

Kairi: Belive me, I more than understand the school thing... I'm supposed to be doing homework right now... but I'd wrather be talking to you guys...
