Shimon glared at them. "Yeah well I happen to know Noah and I know for a fact that that kid is his brother!"

"You mean he was Noah's slave. He never meant anything more to Noah that just that!" Yami said.

Before anyone could say anything a lot of kid's came running out for lunch/recess. Yami figured now would be a good time to talk to the teacher. They left without another word to any of the boys. When they reach the stairs the boy Mokuba had been playing with ran up.

"Hey, look I've never met this Noah kid, I'd like us to be friends." Muran said.

"R-really?" Mokuba asked.

"Yeah, I mean if you want to that is."

Mokuba looked up at Yami. "C-can we big brother?"

Yami smiled and stroked his hair. "I think that'd be a great idea. It'd be good for you to have a friend." Yami said then looked Muran and said, "You'll have to help him learn, he's not gotten out a lot."

"Hey no problem, my folks are always moving around. There are a lot of things I don't know we can learn them together." Muran said.

"Well maybe we can see if your parents will allow you to come to the castle." Yami said.

"Why the castle?"

"I l-live there." Mokuba said.

"Really?"

Mokuba nodded.

"I'm sure my parents will let me."

"Well just come to the castle and tell them you're there to see Mokuba and we'll tell our brother Seto to expect you."

"That's cool. I'll see you later Mokuba."

"Bye!"

As they walked in, they froze seeing the teacher yelling at Noah.

"All right you may go now." The teacher told Noah.

Noah got up and gathered his things but then froze seeing Mokuba and Yami standing there. There was almost like a staring contest going on between them.

"Noah, you may go now."

Noah left through another way.

"Now is there something I can do for you?" The teacher asked.

"My name is Yami…" Yami thought about what to say next when he looked down at Mokuba stroked his hair and realized what his next words should be. "My name is Yami Atemu… Kaiba."

"It's a pleasure, I'm Kisara the teacher for now. But I'm afraid if you're here to discuss your son's progress…"

Yami laughed, "No, this is my brother."

"I'm sorry I'm just so used to dealing with parents on a daily basis…" Kisara started.

Mokuba saw some interesting things and started to look around.

"As I was saying if you're here to discuss his progress then it'll have to wait. The school board doesn't think I'm doing a good enough job at helping the students to reach their potential so their replacing me in a couple of days with some man from out of town. So, you'll have to wait till he gets here and discuss his progress with him."

"W-what's this big brother?" Mokuba asked.

It was then that Kisara noticed Mokuba. 'That's strange I don't remember seeing him here before. I think I'd remember. He's a cute kid and I'd defiantly remember one that stuttered.'

Yami walked over to the cage to see what Mokuba was asking. "I'm not entirely sure kiddo, it looks like maybe a lizard."

"B-but why is it in a c-cage?"

"It's an iguana a very large lizard and he's caged so that the other students can see and feed him." Kisara said.

"I don't guess I've ever actually seen one before, I remember vaguely reading something on it once, science wasn't one of the big things I had to focus on."

"Really your school didn't teach science?"

"No, I was raised on tutors which sadly is what he's going to be raised on it seems."

"Why do that? I've heard the new teacher has excellent credentials."

"It's not that lets just say we've had some not so nice experiences with that Noah kid. I think it'd be better if he didn't have to be around him on a daily basis if it can be avoided at all."

"Well that's understandable." Kisara said getting the impression, he wasn't going to go into detail.

"You said you were being fired would you consider taking on a new student as his tutor. This is Mokuba."

Kisara smiled and bent down but noticed the boy shied behind Yami. "Is he always this shy?"

"Well he had a rough life before coming to live with me and my brother. He's never been good with strangers but I guess you especially make him nervous."

"Me what did I do?"

"Your a school teacher, his last teacher was a close friend of his and he was devastated when she was killed."

"Oh, I'm sorry mind if I ask how she was killed?"

"All I'll tell you is she was murdered a month or so ago. It was tragic and Mokuba's still getting over it."

"Poor thing I can see why he'd be reluctant to get close to another person in the same position. So does he stutter a lot?"

"Only until he gets more familiar with you. His last teacher was helping him with that too."

"Well I'm not exactly sure how I can help with that but I'm willing to try."

"Do you have family or some attachment that would prevent you from moving?"

"Move? But I mean I haven't actually accepted the job yet and already you want me to move in with you. I'm sorry I'm not sure I can handle moving in."

"I see, well I'm afraid it won't work out our brother's extremely overprotective and I don't believe he'll allow Mokuba to go to your place, even with guards."

"Guards, where do you live, the castle or something?"

"That's exactly where we live."

"You're asking me to move into the castle?"

"If you don't wish to that's your choice. I'll have to find someone else."

"No, no I need the money. I may live alone but I still need to eat. I'll take the job."

"Good I'll make sure they expect you." Yami said. "Come on, Mokuba let's get home, Seto will be worried."

"Wait you said your last name was Kaiba as in King Kaiba?"

"That's our brother yes." Yami said taking Mokuba's hand and leaving.

x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x

Yami had intended to tell Seto about the teacher when he got home but problems came up and he was concentrating on them. At dinner, Seto told about what happened and so Yami never got the chance. He took Mokuba to treatments alone that night. Though the doctor said it would eventually be reduced down from daily to once a week, he'd only reduced it to three times a week.

After he put Mokuba to bed, he went to find Seto but found it strange that he was missing almost… almost as if he was avoiding him. He couldn't understand why though. He decided to give him some space and let him be. Later that night Yami was sitting up in bed writing, his thoughts, his feelings, pros and cons to whether or not he was truly making the correct decision in leaving. Then he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Yami said and was surprised when Mokuba came in rubbing his eyes. He instantly sat up, as it was not normal for the boy to come to him at night. He always went to Seto. "Come here kiddo, what are you doing up?" Yami asked and set him on his lap.

Mokuba started to snuggle up against him.

"I h-had a b-bad dream. C-can I sleep in here?"

Now Yami was very alarmed. "Not that I'd mind that kiddo, but why didn't you go to Seto?"

"H-he's not in his room."

"What? You mean he's still missing. Alright you get into bed and I'm going to go look for him."

"B-but I want to stay with you."

"Fine, go get some pants and shoes on then." Yami said deciding it best not to argue with him.

Mokuba came back a couple of minutes later and they set off the search for the missing Seto!
