Dreaming …

"Who is that?" A tall brunette said looking at himself in the mirror. "Who are you there…" talking to his reflection in the mirror used to help him get over the voices and strange questions in his head. "Why doesn't his work anymore?" he said looking at himself in the mirror scowling. "What's wrong with me?" he fell down to his knees and looked into the floor. "Please, come back…I miss you mom." He began to shake…"Why is this so lonely?" he looked away and felt his eyes begin to develop tears and just sat there. "Why won't this go away?"

"Seto?" Mokuba said knocking on the door. "Are you alright big brother? We have to go soon…school, unless you are feeling sick…Seto?" Mokuba spoke to him from the door.

"I might go later today Mokuba…" he stuttered, "I have some things to do…"

"You alright?" Mokuba said looking at the door, "Just make sure you get there…"

"I will…" Seto said. "If I miss, they will probably just give me detention or something."

"Okay Seto…" Mokuba began to walk out and called for a limousine.

"Great…" Seto laughed at himself…"now I am lying to him…what am I going to do?" He crawled up into a ball and looked at the floor before finally getting up and getting dressed. "Guess I am late, who cares….they will be laughing at me anyway." He said as he called for a limo to come to his place so he may finally go to school.

"Mister Kaiba, Mokuba seemed dismayed when he was going to school. Would something have been bothering him?" The driver looked at Seto. "You two must be under a lot of pressure; you both have the same look on your face today."

"Drop it" Seto commanded to his driver who promptly shut up and looked right ahead. Seto looked at his feet and felt a jolt of the car and looked out the window to see some coming form the bonnet.

"Problem" the driver said opening the bonnet, "it won't take a minute."

"Forget it…" Seto said starting to walk off mentally groaning. "I can just walk" which was exactly what he'd done. He just made a "shortcut" through the park. He sat down and looked at the sky as he swung on the swing moving forward and back. He began to think, "Well this is me now…I am Seto Kaiba…Kaiba…Rich boy… I need to find some stuff out about me…I can't even remember where I am from…better go or I will be way too late…why am I in high school anyway?"

"Hey dude!" a street kid ran up to Seto and said, "Can you be a brother, man…please cover for me…" The kid was dirty and seemed desperate. "If I get busted for this I am so dead, dude just say we have been talking here for a while….if your asked or something?"

"Why would I do that?" Seto said coldly looking to him and started walking off.

"Please man, I got's to care for my brothers!" The guy said grabbing his arm.

"Brothers?" He said looking over at him, "You have a family?"

"Yeah, I am just doing this to help them, the money is just enough…"

"Fine, we are walking to Domino High together and have since half an hour ago, we met up at the park. Just don't get me into anything with the cops."

"Serious, thanks, I'll pay you back…somehow dude." The guy said walking with him. When the cops pulled up he provided an alibi and they kept walking.

"Okay dude thanks a heap…I know I shouldn't but here…" the guy put a little plastic bag in Kaiba's pocket and said, "For saving my ass."

"Whatever" he sighed and looked at the bag. "I don't use drugs…" he said after looking at it trying to hand it back.

"Its fine, if you're at a boring party just pop one and the party will be on…" He then snuck off.

"Great…I helped a street druggie…" he sighed and walked into the school putting the pills into a secret pocket on his jacket. He walked into his first class and took a seat at the back of the room.

"Mister Kaiba, good to see you are with us today…" the teacher said looking at him with a scowl in which he tried to ignore.

"We have a test today, and you are late... better hurry with it" the assistant said handing him the page.

"Easy," he said looking at the page doing the test with ease in just twenty minutes.

"Twenty minutes to do a major test?" the teacher's assistant said.

"I would have been faster but it's early" he said as he waited for the bell to go while the rest of the class finished theirs at a much slower rate. The day passed very slowly and Seto kept feeling entrapped in the school grounds. He thought to himself 'great I have detention, more time trapped in this hell hole, then I have to go to work, I want to just lay down somewhere.' He sat there and Yugi looked to him sitting there alone.

"Guys, does Kaiba look really miserable today or what?" Yugi looked over at him with concern in his eyes.

"It's probably about how he fell asleep yesterday in class, he seemed pretty embarrassed dere." Joey said eating his food.

"I guess…I think it might be something more."

"He was talking in his sleep…about his mom! Of course he is going to be a little embarrassed Yugi, I think he may lay low for a few days…" Tristan said snickering.

"What you did wouldn't have helped Tristan!" Joey said looking at him as he took some of Tèa's meatloaf.

"What did he do?" Tèa said looking at Joey uninformed.

"HE teased him like right after; I even think that's a bit low!" Joey said leaning back on his chair again.

"TRISTAN" Tèa said looking right at him with the glare of ultimate evil which all feared.

"Think of all he's done to us!" Tristan protested back.

"Okay, I think it would be better if we stayed out of it…from now…unless we think it's necessary…Okay!" Yugi said sighing.

"I think that's a great idea, we don't wanna get in Kaiba's way when he's embarrassed, he'd probably burn us to the ground." Joey said sighing, "We should just maybe keep an eye on him."

Soon enough the day was over and Seto went to face detention, he went to the bathroom first and sighed thinking about how boring he knew he'd find detention, then something popped into his head from that punk earlier today. "Just pop one and the party will be on!" "Well…if it will pass the time quicker…" and with that simple thought he took the plastic bag from his pocket and snapped one of the pills in half, putting it down his throat as he took it down with a bottle of water as he walked to detention. Nothing…he felt nothing from it for about five minutes and when it hit , it really hit and he was hooked. Soon enough he went to work and had the second half, before he knew it he was home at the dinner table, one pill was gone.
