Sorry for the long update I wanted to update yesterday but it slipped my mind. This is the last chapter I'm posting before the 20th, I'm starting my studies tomorow and my exams start the 15.

Sweet girl: Wink, you know me all too well, of course.

darkblind: don't worry, I'm not insulted or anything, I actually found you quite funny, if you're nice I could even make an alternative end just for you where Meyli dies an horrible death lolll.

Renluva: hand over tissu box to replace the one you used. The answer is, he don't remember her physically, but when someone is pregnant, from the 4th month the baby can hear thing around them, so they hear their mother all day and they recognise their voice. I also heard a story about a baby that got adopted at his birth and he refused to eat anything but as soon as they put him in a blanket that belonged to his real mother he started eating even if he had never even saw her. So it's more like a subconcious thing.

Thanks everyone for your reviews and your support with my exam.

Chapter seventeen: Taking a new road.

Meyli stayed alone in her room for about 10 minute before hearing a soft knocking on the door, she looked up and saw a little black haired head popping through the door. "Can I come in?" Mokuba asked shyly. Meyli nodded and Mokuba entered the room. Both of them stayed silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Thanks." Mokuba finally said.

"For what?" Meyli asked.

"For saving me, if you haven't pushed me out of the way I would be dead."

There was another silent pose before Mokuba spoke again. "I'm sorry, for looking through your things." Meyli laughed a little. "What's so funny?" Mokuba asked.

"You don't really need to apologize, I looked through your things too a few days ago."

"Really?" Mokuba said with a little embarrassment in his voice. "I guess that makes us even then."

"I say we just both forget about it." Meyli said.

"Meyli, why do you hate me like that?"

Meyli stayed silent for a while, what should she answer to that? "I didn't really had a real reason, when mom died I was still really young and I decided it was your fault."

"But it's-"

"Not." Meyli finished for him. "I know and deep down I always knew but when mom died I was devastated and I needed all my pain to be someone's fault, it just happened to be you. Back then I decided that every bad thing that happened to me was your fault because none of it would have happened if mom was still alive. When Seto started to care about you I felt betrayed and I blame it on you also just as every other things that happened after our father's death."

"But why did you saved me?"

"Because you are my brother and…as much as I didn't wanted to when I first came here I started to care about you and I couldn't stand the thought of you getting hurt, especially because of me."

There was another silence. "Mokuba, I'm really sorry, for hurting you like that, and for everything else."

"It's ok, everyone makes mistake." After all, why couldn't he forgive her, he forgave his brother for even worst then that.

"What will you do now?" Mokuba asked.

Meyli sighed. "I don't know, Seto will probably never want to see me again, I guess all I have to do left is to go back with my uncle." The only thought of this was disgusting her to no end.

"Seto said he would never send you back there."

Panic flooded through her entire body, she didn't wanted Mokuba to know about this, what would he think of her if he knew? "Did he told you why?"

Mokuba shocked his head. "No, and I don't want to know if you don't want to tell. Actually Seto said you could stay if I wanted you too, and if you want to of course. So, do you want to stay with us?"

Meyli looked hesitant. "I don't know." How can he have forgotten so fast what I did to him.

"Please!" Mokuba did the famous puppy dog eyes.

"You're better agreeing before he really gets at it." Kaiba said, standing in the doorframe.

Meyli looked at both her brother, she wasn't sure about this, but no one can resist the famous puppy dog eyes "Ok I'll stay…for now."

"YEAH!" Mokuba said as he hugged her, hurting her in the process. "I'm sorry." He apologized when he saw he had hurt her.

"It's ok, don't worry about it." Meyli said as she hugged him much more softly.

The next day Meyli was finally out of the hospital, only to have to stay at bed at home, but it was better than the hospital, she could play with Mokuba's video games, but right now she was reading a book, until Kaiba knocked on her door, something Meyli wasn't looking for. Kaiba entered and closed the door behind him, Mokuba was asleep and there wasn't anyone else in the mansion. She set her book back on the night stand and looked up at him, he sat on the bed next to her.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Meyli looked away, she knew what he was referring to, she told him that she was raped and ran away after all. "Well what did you expected, it's not really something you are proud to tell everyone. What would it had changed anyway?"

"I could have helped you."

"I don't need any help." Meyli said defensively.

"Really, well I have to disagree." Kaiba grabbed her arm and raised the sleeve of her pyjama. "Those scares don't look like nothing to me."

"It's nothing to be worried about, they're old ones." She said taking her arm back.

"Who do you take me for? I can see they aren't more than a few days old." Kaiba said, Meyli sighed, there was no use denying it.

"So what, they're only scares, it's not dangerous." Meyli said

"Do you have any idea how many people die each year because they are hurting themselves like you?"

"Can we just drop the subject, I think I'm old enough to take care of myself, why did you came here in the first place?"

Kaiba looked at her for a few moment, wondering how much she was still hiding from him. "Since when as it been going on?" She stayed silent. "Meyli." Kaiba warned.

"And you're talking about what now?"

"I'm talking about you being raped."

"What makes you think something as been going on? He raped me, I ran away, end of the story."

"And you expect me to believe that?" Kaiba asked.

"Believe it or not that's what happened." Meyli said firmly.

Kaiba decided that he wasn't going to get anything else out from her, so he left her alone. He still had the day off since he wasn't supposed to be back so he went to see if Mokuba would want to do anything. "Liar." He said just before closing the door.

Sunday passed like a blur with the two brothers playing anything that crossed the younger mind. Monday arrived way to fast to the siblings liking an Kaiba was mentally preparing himself for another stressful week of work, reporters running after him and school with a bunch of girl who wanted to go out with him at any cost. Meyli was still stuck in bed but her and Mokuba were slowly starting to get along well, Kaiba was glad of that, after all if Meyli was going to stay with them they might as well get along.

When Kaiba entered the school he went straight to the secretary office to tell Meyli was sick, that wasn't really the truth but the truth didn't concerned her. He then went straight for his locker to get his books, not that he ever use them in class anyway, he just didn't wanted to give the teacher a reason to give him a detention. He never notice who was coming behind him.

"How could you do that to me?"

Kaiba turned around from his locker to look at the person who talked to him. When he saw Jenna he gave her a really confused look. "What in the world are you talking about?" He said as he continued his own way, he really hated the girl.

Jenna followed him, everyone knew from fact that Kaiba wouldn't stop walking to hear you out so you had to follow him. "How could you let me down for that little slut."

Yep definitely crazy, however one word ran into Kaiba's mind. He stopped and turned around slowly, people around stopped also, if Kaiba ever stopped it was because you said something that made him mad, really mad…or your name was Joey Wheeler. "How did you just call her?"

"Well just look at her, I'm sure she must have slept with all the men in Tokyo to get money, it's so obvious."

All the girls in Jenna's gang nodded, however, Kaiba didn't appreciate those idiots calling his sister a slut, especially not after what he learned two days ago. He walked right in front of her, she stepped back until there was a wall behind her, Kaiba was merely an inch away from her. "Never talk about my family that way again or I'll make sure you'll regret it." He said before leaving, he would have beat her, had she not been a girl, hiting a girl when you are the CEO of a company is really bad publicity.

For once in a lifetime Kaiba passed in front of Joey without even seeing him. "Family? Are the two of them married or something?"

"Of course not, Meyli's his sister." Tea said without even thinking about it.

Yugi, Tristan and Joey all looked at her in shock. "What!"

Tea looked at them with confusion. "Did I say that out loud?"

"You bet you did, now explain what did you meant when you said that Meyli was Kaiba's sister." Joey said.

"I never said that." Tea said lamely.

"Hey we all heard you so now spill the beans."

Tea sighed. "Well you know Joey, when two people really love each other there come a time when they decide to have a family." She said like she was speaking to a two years old. "And two of these people who really loved one another decided one day to have a family also."

"Hey, you don't need to talk to me as if I was two years old." Joey said.

"It's really a shame that your brain never surpassed this step of its development Wheeler, or else you would already know about birds and bees."

Joey turned around and saw Kaiba right behind him. "Hey, I already know about birds and bees, I was asking Tea how it was possible for you to be Meyli's brother." Joey said.

"It's really simple, my parent had sex one night and my mother had twins, end of the story. Seriously, I thought that even a mutt like you could figure out a thing as simple as that. Now that brings me to my real purpose of being here, how in the world did you know Meyli is my sister, Gardner?"

"Well…she told me accidentally."

"Why doesn't that surprise me? Who else know?"

"Well I never told anyone."

"Except for your little friend over here. Just listen, and that includes you also mutt, you are better stay quiet about this until I explain everything myself to those stupid reporters, I don't want them to start spreading lies about Meyli." Kaiba turned around and walked away.

"And since when do you care about others?" Joey asked.

"Since we share the same blood."

"So you accidentally told your friends." Meyli said.

"I'm really sorry, I swear it was an accident."

"I don't think it's that much of a big deal really, as long as they stay quiet about this." Meyli said.

"Now that brings me to my real question, now that Mokuba knows you are his sister, why does it matter so much if people knows or not?" Tea asked.

"Well, because the world think I'm Seto Kaiba's girlfriend and they made quite a fuss over it, just think about the scandal it would make to tell everyone I'm his sister."

"So, you are going to pose as his girlfriend for the rest of your life?" Tea asked jokingly.

"Or course not, Seto will take care of that but until then we must stay quiet about it."

After school Kaiba went to work, like always, however, today was really a bad day, nothing went right, those idiots working for him were able to crash half of the computer. When he came back home after that horrible afternoon, at 11 I must had, he expected to eat something good, take a hot shower and go to bed. However, as he exited his limo one of the bodyguard that was guarding at the gate came to him, something quite unusual.

"Is something the matter?" Kaiba asked him.

"There was a weird man that stalked around the mansion all day, I told everyone to be on their guard for him but as he never stepped foot on the propriety we couldn't do anything about it, I thought you should know." The guard said.

"Probably just a reporter." Kaiba shrugged it off as if it was nothing.

"I don't think so sir. He didn't had anything a reporter usually use like a camera or at least a notebook, he just kept watching the mansion all day, he ran away just as you arrived."

Kaiba thought for a second, that wasn't like a reporter to act like that, and this guard was one of is most trustworthy. "I'll check that out, keep an eye out for him, I don't want this weirdo to set a foot on my propriety." There goes his dinner, his shower and his sleep.

Kaiba went directly to the security room, if this man had stayed around the mansion all day then he was bound to be seen on at least one security camera. When he entered the room he didn't even had to ask to the guard in charge for a tape where the man was showed, the guard had it already ready. "Here you go sir, the best view we got from him."

Kaiba was a little taken aback by this, usually he had to repeat three time for people to snap out of it and do what he asked. But he didn't minded the change, after all, it was this guys job to know everything that was going on in and around the mansion. After checking both Mokuba and Meyli who were sound to sleep, Kaiba went to his room to check out the tape. He didn't had to wait for long before the man appeared on the tape. As soon as he saw his face his eyes went wide.

Hehe, cliffy.
