Hey guys, long time no see. I'm really and truly sorry for such a long wait. And I would like to thank those of you who sent non-threatening e-mails to me. Sometimes I need a kick in the butt to get working on these things.

Jou's pov

I guess the only thing left is the…truth. But I don't want Mokuba to hate me…and well Seto already hates me so I guess that doesn't matter. Man, I really should've thought this out a little more thoroughly.

"Well uh…you see…last night…I kinda…"

This is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, and Kaiba is enjoying my discomfort to tope it off. Mokuba is starting to look more and more like Kaiba every second that I stall.

"We don't have all day Jou"

I looked at Mokuba as he spoke and figured might as well spill the beans…it's now or death. I took one last breath hoping that I could survive this whole ordeal.

"Last night, I came into our house…and took something of Kaiba's…"

Mokuba looked at me with confusion written all over his face.

Mokuba's pov

"Last night, I came into our house…and took something of Kaiba's…"

Why would Jou steal from Seto? I understand why Seto would be upset from Jou stealing from him, but what could've Jou taken to make Seto so upset?

"Go on…"

Seto seems to be getting uncomfortable…what is he hiding from me?

"I took some video tapes that were locked in a cabinet"

I looked at Jou as he uncomfortably answered. Video tapes? What video tapes did we have, besides security cameras I haven't seen any cameras in the house since…since Gozaburo.

Jou's pov

Mokuba looked as if he'd just seen a ghost…man did everyone know what was on those tapes except me? I feel so lost.

Seto's pov

From the look on Mokuba's face I believe I could safely assume that he's figured out just what might be on those tapes…or at least when they were filmed.

"Mokuba…"

Jou and Mokuba both looked startled when I spoke almost as if they both forgot I was even there. Mokuba looked at me with tears in his eyes…but they slowly turned to anger that was not really directed at anyone here.

Normal pov

Mokuba gazed at Jou with a look of sadness and anger mixed into one.

"Jou, please return the tapes…"

Jou looked at Mokuba wondering even more what could possibly be on those tapes to hit both Kaiba's in such a way.

"If you let me down, I will"

Kaiba released his grip around Jou's neck and Jou plummeted to the ground with a thump. There was such an awkward silence that no one dared to move.

Seto decided to be the one to break the ice, as he quickly grabbed Jou's arm and threw to the front to begin leading the way. Jou was having a hard time fighting the temptation to ask why everyone wanted the tapes back so badly.

As they were walking Jou finally mustered the courage and asked the question that his mind was daring him to ask. Of course he directed it to Mokuba, in fear of getting pummelled by Seto again.

"Hey Mokuba, why do you want these tapes back so badly?"

Mokuba looked at Seto solemnly, then to Jou with tears resurfacing in his eyes.

"Because I want the suffering to end…I want it to all be over"

Seto's and Mokuba's eyes met and the painful silence had begun again, and Jou was still out of the loop. He did not understand what suffering Mokuba was speaking of, but he was determined to find out…even if it meant making a few enemies along the way.
