Chapter 12

Seto Kaiba ran after his little brother. Mokuba cried out with excitement running behind a tree. Kaiba had thought it would have been nice to walk in the park today. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now he was having second thoughts.

" Mokuba!" Kaiba scolded.

" Come on Seto, come catch me!"

" I don't want to Mokuba."

" Aw come on!"

" Mokuba…"

" You're no fun…" he giggled and ran to his big brother.

Kaiba sighed.

" I happen to be a very fun person. I just don't see running around and hiding by trees fun." Kaiba looked up and saw Yugi followed by that Joey Wheeler kid. " Of course, some people have to do that every day, like Wheeler." He smirked at his own humorous joke.

" Hi Kaiba!" Yugi said.

" Hiya moneybags! How ya doin'?"

" Well well, if it isn't Wheeler taking his daily walk. Where's your leash?" Kaiba looked behind him and saw a tree close by. He turned back to Joey and smirked.

" Oh, I'm sorry Wheeler, am I in your way? Do you have to do your business?"

" What! Say dat again Kaiba and you'll get a fist in your mouth for breakfast got dat?"

Kaiba took his brother's arm and led him away.

" Hey! Get back here and face me ya coward!"

Mokuba looked up at his brother. And smiled.

Mokuba smiled for a reason. He had figured out another one of his brother's weird quirks. His brother, in his own odd way, was socializing. If you could call making sarcastic remarks and publicly humiliating someone a socialization. But hey, it was a start. Mokuba sighed as he turned back to see Joey Wheeler making an idiot of himself. Again. He looked back at up at his brother. His brother looked down at him.

" What?" Kaiba asked.

" Nothing." Mokuba smiled.

Kaiba smiled. A rare thing indeed. It wasn't a smirk. And it wasn't sarcastic. It was a smile. A smile only meant for his brother. He looked back at Wheeler and laughed shaking his head. The Kaiba brothers walked all the way home in silence. There was no need for words. Both of them knew. Knew what? A story. A story about a dragon.

Whatever happened to the Kaiba brothers you ask? Kaiba had taken a few weeks off, as promised to play with his brother. Which had released much tenseness. Mokuba didn't worry about his brother any more. As long as he didn't work too much. Kaiba felt very relieved. He started to accept many things. Although he still refused to socialize. And he still fired a lot of people. He no longer pulled all nighters. He no longer refused to sleep. As he found sleep must come to pass eventually. He always played with his brother when asked, except for the one recent time that is. Mokuba wanted to go to the beach. Kaiba still hates the beach. He still hates a number of things. Seagulls are top on his list. He still does not know if he believes in God. He is trying to be less stressful. He still wants to beat Yugi at Duel Monsters. He still mocks Joey Wheeler to no end. And Joey Wheeler still makes a fool of himself. Kaiba still believes that dragons can be tamed. For he is trying to tame himself. He does not know what will happen when he does. Will he fly? Will he soar through the sky? Will he shout to the people below and to the heavens above " Dragons can be tamed"? He does not know. But then again I do not either. But I do know this. He will fly. Someday. He will fly.
