For people who care, I don't own Yu-gi-oh and I will only say this once.

Chapter four: Not so dead after all.

The dinner leading to a trip to the arcade, followed by walking home, Kaiba was now walking alone in the park with a sleeping Mokuba on his back, not that he minded anyway. Mokuba wanted to walk back home with him since it was only a 20 minute walk but the poor kid was so tired that he almost felt asleep while walking.

Mokuba then started to whimper and move a little, he was having a nightmare, something that happened quite often lately. Kaiba softly hushed him. "Don't worry kiddo I'm right here with you."

Upon hearing his brother's voice Mokuba calmed down and fell even deeper in sleep. Kaiba smiled, sensing his little brother's head on his shoulder.

Once they reached the mansion, Kaiba put Mokuba in his bed, however he couldn't left, he sat next to him and started stroking the little Kaiba's hair, causing a smile to appear on the kid's face. That was what he wanted, to see his brother smile, before he knew it he fell asleep next to his little brother.

The next morning, Mokuba was the first one to awake and the first thing he saw was his brother sleeping next to him, he smiled remembering how he felt asleep on his brother's back. Normally he would have let his brother sleep and even slept with him but it was already 6:30 and they had school, not that he would mind missing it.

"Seto, wake up." Mokuba was lightly shaking him but he got no reaction. "Big brother!"

"What?" Kaiba asked in annoyance.

"It's time to wake up or you'll be late to school."

"Since when do you care about school?" asked a sleepy Kaiba.

"Since you grounded me."

The limo ride was silent; both of them were too tired to think about anything intelligent to talk about. That is until Kaiba remembered something; he took his schoolbag and grabbed something from it.

"Here."

Mokuba looked at him with surprise and took the book from his brother's hand. "What for?"

"In class, that's what I do when I'm bored, I don't care if they call me because you don't pay attention, just stop insulting the teachers."

Mokuba smiled. "Ok big brother."

"Have fun." Kaiba said when the limo stopped in front of Mokuba's school.

"Really funny." The youngster said before leaving.

8888

Kaiba was sitting at his desk, taping on his laptop and trying to ignore all the other students making an unbelievable amount of useless noise, that was always what was happening when they had tutorial.

Tutorial was something that happened every two days, the responsible of each group had to go see his own group wherever it was in the school, the point of this? Well it was mainly to take presence (even if each teacher did it before each class) and giving important message to their group. (Which never really happened.) So tutorial was useless but for student it was a lost of time which meant a shorter period. The thing was, teachers left when they were finished, so their tutor was gone, but the teacher wasn't there yet because he was still with his own group. (An: there is such a thing in my school and we lose 10 to 20 minute each time, lot of fun.)

Anyway, back to Kaiba, as a student himself he didn't hate those 'lost of time' it was the only time of the day were teachers weren't asking him question because he wasn't paying attention, of course he always had the right answer, he just hated being interrupted like that. And speaking of interruption…

"Hey Kaiba!"

Kaiba cursed under his breath when he heard the mutt calling his name, what made matters worst was that he was sure what he wanted to talk about. He decided to just ignore him, maybe he'll go away.

"Hey I'm speaking to you moneybag."

"Well I'm not answering, can't you just catch a hint?"

Joey faked to think for a second. "Nope, but now that I have your attention, what exactly was going on between you and that girl yesterday."

"Nothing that's any of your concern."

"Well then, maybe I can force you to talk."

"I'd like to see that."

"We saw that picture also you know, I know she's some childhood crush you had."

Kaiba stopped tapping and looked up at Joey like he was crazy. "Childhood crush?" Much to Joey's surprise and annoyance he started to laugh at him. "Seriously, that must be the most disgusting thing I've ever heard." (An: remember people, she's his sister. For those who haven't realise yet.)

Joey was now completely confused. "Why is it so disgusting, she's really good looking."

"Then she's perfect for you, that slut doesn't deserve any better then a low rate mutt like you."

"Slut? She was your personal whore or something?"

Kaiba gave one of those look, the mutt implying that he had a personal whore, or even used a whore once was one thing, but when the girl in question was his twin sister that was completely disgusting, immoral and a lot of other adjectives like that. "Don't insult me, only desperate idiots like you take whores. Only the thought is making me sick."

"Does that mean you're gay?"

Wanting Joey to leave him alone Kaiba decided to take advantage of what Joey was implying, hmm that could get him off my back for quite a long time, and that would be funny. Kaiba pushed his laptop away, put both his elbow on the desk, twisted his finger together, put his hand on his finger and looked at Joey right in the eyes, "And what if I am?"

Joey looked at him with mild confusion. "What did you say?"

"You heard me."

"Wait a minute, does that mean that you go for guys?"

"I have everything I need right here." Kaiba said, still looking at Joey. (An: just think hard)

Joey's eyes widened a little when he caught what Kaiba meant. "Uhh I think I'll go now." Joey took cautious steps back.

Do I dare? Kaiba thought about the face Joey would make. Heck yes. Kaiba waved at Joey in a girlish manner with a little smile, the smile was because he was almost bursting into laugher but it scared Joey even more.

8888

"Hey Joey, what's wrong?" Tristan asked when his friend came back. "You look kinda pale."

"It's Kaiba, I swear the guy's gay and he has his eyes on me."

They all looked at hi like he was crazy. "Alright Joey, what in the world did you ate this morning?" Tristan asked.

"I swear it's true."

They looked at Kaiba who had resumed to his work like nothing ever happened. "I think you're imagining thing Joey."

8888

"You mean you really did that?" Mokuba asked in disbelief and in laugher after his brother told him about what he did to Joey. "And people say that you can't have fun."

Kaiba was also laughing but less wholeheartedly then Mokuba, still it was a laugh. "You should have seen the look on his face."

"I can imagine it from here, I would have paid to see that."

Kaiba looked up in front of him, he tapped on his little brother's shoulder and the kid looked up also. That when he realised that to get in the limo they'll have to pass near Joey and the other.

"You wouldn't dare." Mokuba said.

"Wanna bet? Winner chose dinner tonight."

"Deal!"

When they passed in front of the gang Kaiba waited for Joey to look at him and winked, the look on Joey's face was priceless. As soon as they closed the limo's door behind them they both burst into laugher.

"How long are you going to keep it up?"

"I think I'm better stop now before anyone else see that, no one will believe Joey don't but I don't need someone ruining my reputation."

"You'll just have to get a girlfriend."

"I don't have time for girlfriend Mokuba."

"Well you'll have to get one eventually."

"Keep that up and I'm going to make you eat sea fruits."

Mokuba's eyes widened, there was nothing he hated more than sea fruits. "Fine, I won't bother you anymore."

Meyli was looking back and forth from the window to the clock in her room, or should I say hotel room. She was quite a lucky person, her time in the room was up in an hour and she didn't had enough money to keep it for the night, that leave her with only two choice: going to see Seto or passing the night outside in the pouring rain, but even if she found the courage to go see her brother there was still a 99.9 chance that she'll end up outside anyway.

8888

Mokuba was looking outside the window of his brother's office at the pouring rain. "It was so sunny this morning."

Kaiba looked up from his work and smiled. "It's good to have rain once in a while kiddo, anyway it'll probably be over tomorrow."

"You really are weird Seto, how can you like rain?"

"I found it relaxing, I like the sound it makes." Mokuba looked at him like he was crazy, Kaiba laughed a little. "You'll understand when you'll be older."

8888

Meyli was standing in front of the gate, she had made it this far but had used all her courage, she wasn't afraid of her brother, she could be just as dangerous as him, it's just that now that she had learn that he still had Mokuba with him she was sure he would throw her away, she really hated that brat, after all he had done to her now she was going to have to stay in the road because of him.

I'm going…I'm not going…I'm going…I'm not going… She snapped out of her 'meditation' when she heard a loud sound, she turned to her side and saw four boy about 30 meters from her, and personally, she thought they looked really dangerous. I'm going. She decided just as the guys saw her and started to call her.

She sighed once she closed the gate behind her, now there was no coming back, it was either Seto Kaiba or the guys outside in the dark. Why of all the Seto in the world did he had to be the Seto Kaiba? Let's just say that one of the reason she didn't wanted to go was because of everything she heard about him, even if back then she didn't know he was her brother, few people knew he had been adopted.

Taking a deep breath she walked up under the porch and closed her umbrella, now was the hardest part, with a little bit of luck Seto wouldn't the one to answer.

8888

Kaiba and Mokuba looked at each other when they heard the doorbell, it was 9;30 in the evening, who could come here at this time. That's when Kaiba realise what time it was. "Shouldn't you be getting ready to go to bed?"

Mokuba looked at him with pleading eyes. "Come on, it's only 9:30, I'm not tired."

"But you'll be tomorrow if you don't go to sleep soon."

"That's not true."

"Mokuba there is school tomorrow and I want you to get ready for bed, that's final."

"But I'm not a baby anymore, I'm eleven." Mokuba gave the puppy dog eyes.

"Look kid, if you go get ready now, you can stay up until 10 ok?"

Mokuba's exclamations of joy were cut short when one of the maids knocked on the door. "Mr Kaiba, there's a young girl who want to see you."

Kaiba nodded. "Take Mokuba to his room and make sure he gets ready for bed."

"Yes sir." The maid bowed and left with Mokuba.

8888

Kaiba walked toward the door, who could want to see him, of course his sister never crossed his mind. When he arrived at the door he saw his little sister her back against the door looking at him.

"What in the world are you doing here?" Kaiba asked, he was far from happy to see her.

"What do you think, I came for the view." Bad, I should hold my tongue.

"Alright spill it, what do you want?"

Meyli sighed, this was going to be harder than expected. "I came here because I need help and I don't have anyone else."

"Really? And what makes you think I was going to help you? In case you forgot, you are no longer a part of my family ever since dad died."

"I never expected you to help me, I just came to ask and nothing more, I don't have anything to lose after all."

"And what happened to your great family, that life you chose over us, is it not good enough for you anymore?"

"I know what you are implying and I don't give a fuck to all you money. All I need is a place to stay."

"So, that's what you want, I knew there was no way you would come here to see me and Mokuba." Kaiba saw the hate that passed through Meyli's eyes. "I don't believe it, even after all those years you still think it's his fault, even worst you have the guts to ask me to help you with those kind of thought, in case you haven't notice I chose Mokuba over you and that'll never change."

"Look, when I came here I had no idea you were still taking care of that brat."

"Watch what you say about him."

"Or else you'll what? Throw me out? I've been living on the road for three months now do you think I care, or maybe you'll hit me again, trust me there's nothing you can do to me that I didn't already endured." She was stopped by a fit of coughing, a really big one that even worried Kaiba. "Sorry that I have bothered you." She turned around to leave.

Kaiba watched her, she really needed help, he remembered the reason why he kept the picture in the first place, because he wanted thing to be like that again, they might be twin but he was still the oldest of the two so she was his little sister and he loved her, he wanted her to be part of his family again, more than anything he wanted her to accept Mokuba.

But that was long ago, he had totally put her out of his life when they were adopted. He had no obligation to help her, she chose to live with their uncle so she just had to go back there. Why should I take care of her? She left, that's all she's no longer part of my family. And she'd only hurt Mokuba. Kaiba turned around to take care of Mokuba when his eyes caught a picture of his parent.

He couldn't take his eyes away from the picture, it was as if his parent wanted to tell him something, he turned to look at Meyli and sighed. Fine, have it your way. He said looking back at the picture. Just as she was about to open the door Meyli felt something grab her hand. She turned around and saw Seto just behind her.

"What do you want now?" She asked.

"Do you really think I'll let you leave like that? You'll catch your death."

"Why do you care?"

"Don't flatter yourself, I don't care about you."

Meyli looked at him with confusion. "Then why are you letting me stay?"

"Because if I throw you out I'll be no better then our uncle." Of course that wasn't the real reason, but he certainly wasn't going to tell her it was because of his parents, because he didn't wanted to disappoint them.

"You have such a sweet heart." She said with her voice full of sarcasm, she looked a lot like Kaiba.

"What did you expected? That I would welcome you in my arm? You are no longer a part of this family, Meyli. If what you are looking for is a loving family that will care about you then you can leave because you won't get any of that here. You can stay however there will be a few rules you'll have to follow."

"Like?"

"First of all we are not family anymore, never forget that. Second, No one, not even Mokuba know I have a twin sister or even a sister for all that matter and I don't want anyone to know, and last, if you ever hurt Mokuba in any way, and I mean ANY way I'll kill you, is that clear?"

"Clear as crystal." Meyli wasn't sure is Kaiba was serious about killing her but she didn't really wanted to find out.

"Good, you'll have a room and food but I'm not going to waste any more money on you."

"I already told you that I didn't cared about money."

"Whatever, just stay out of our life if you don't want to end up on the road again."
