Prologue
Kaiba Corp hadn't been doing very well over the past couple of years as Kaiba found himself constantly out done by other competitive companies. Every time that he released a new product it was always made to look like the last generation technology as his competitors would always go one step further with theirs and gain the advantage with the consumers. As a result his shares were now the lowest that they had ever been in the company's history including the time when it had once belonged to his step-father, Gozaburo Kaiba.
He had always been use to working harder than he was required to, thanks to Gozaburo's vigorous upbringing. But just lately he was running himself so far down that it sometimes took him days to recover the strength to carry on. As a way of helping him through the hard times he had turned to drinking which seemed to help for a little while but did nothing more than make him vomit and cause nasty hangovers the next day.
Mokuba had become worried about his brother's drinking problem and insisted that he seek help. Like always, Kaiba had refused and told Mokuba that he was worrying about nothing as he would be okay.
But right now he wasn't okay. Kaiba sat slumped in his chair behind his desk in his office. He had downed the contents of several large whisky bottles and had passed out. At least in this state he didn't have to worry about anymore problems that were to face him. Well not until he awoke anyhow, and had to listen to his younger brother preach on at him about those 'all important family values'. Not even the thought of Mokuba was enough to pull him back from his pit of despair.
Concerned about the amount of time that his brother now spent locked away in his office with what seemed like a never ending supply of alcohol, Mokuba was determined to take Kaiba home and again explain to him that the company wasn't everything as they still had each other. He wasn't expecting the scene that met him as he entered his brother's office.
