AmePiper: Thanks for the compliments. And I actually don't like Tea to tell you the truth, and/or TeaxSeto(My Anzu shipper friend made me write itX.X) I actually dun like a lot of the girls in YGO, they're all kinda lame. I'd like to see more "I'm gonna kick your ass" kinda girls, other than "Oh my gosh, I'm in love with you" girls who don't duel and shit. But they're ok. Like Serenity and Mai. Serenity can't duel for shit, but it's all good. Tea's my least favorite, cause she's probably the biggest loser in the show. I mean, come on, Rebecca is almost cooler than her(and I very much dislike Rebecca, she's annoying. Oh, and I HATE RebeccaxMokuba. It's like "NO! You weirdos!")

It's actually hard for me to write these kinds of fics since you gotta include all the characters and such and Most of the time I really dun care about the other characters cause I'm a hard core brother fluff writer, but still. This is a way different story.

Wow, I wrote a lot again. I have a tendency to do that. Oh well. Oh, and again, thanks for reviewing, and reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 3

-A half hour later-

"Serenity!" Sister Rosette called. Serenity's head popped up from the crowd of children. They were all sitting in the living room, all of them watching a show on one TV. "Yes?"

"I need you to come over here, dear" Sister Rosette said sweetly. "Ok!" Serenity called, back getting up and running to Sister Rosette and Mrs.Yoshimie. Joey's attention veered away from the television and to his sister. He quickly got up as well and ran after his sister, his mind was beginning to race at what could possibly be happening. He was filled with excitement.

"Alright Serenity, it's time for you to go to your new home." Serenity's eyes widened. "Really?"

"Yes, dear. Really."

"I can't believe it!" Serenity said, "Thank you so much for everything Sister Rosette! I'll never forget you!" Serenity ran over and gave Sister Rosette a hug. "Thank you, sweet, and I'll never forget you. I pray all good things shall come to you in your new life, and that God be with you always." Serenity nodded. Sister Rosette handed Serenity her coat and a piece of paper to Mrs. Yoshimie. "Thank you for adopting Serenity. I'm sure she will fill you with much joy."

"Oh, and thank you, Sister. Come along now Serenity, it's about time for us to go." Serenity nodded, then looked back at Sister Rosette. "Wait… what about Joey…?" Serenity asked, she looked over at her brother who stood beside Sister Rosette. "I'm sorry Serenity… but Joey's not coming with you. Mrs. Yoshimie only adopted you." Serenity's face fell blank as she and her brother stared into each other's eyes. Neither one knew what to say.

"Time to go, Serenity" Mrs. Yoshimie said, leading Serenity to the car. "No… No!" Joey yelled, running out of the orphanage. "Serenity!" Tears began to flow down from his eyes, Sister Rosette quickly caught up with him, and grabbed him. Serenity looked back him, she didn't know what to say. Her eyes could only stare blankly at her older brother. "Nii-san…" she said quietly, as she stepped into the car and the door was shut. Her face still looked out the window as the car began to drive away.

Joey broke away from Sister Rosette and ran down after her, out through the gate and into the street. "SERENITY! PLEASE! STOP!"

"Joseph! Joseph, come back here this instant!"

"MY NAME'S JOEY!" Joey yelled angrily, as he stopped in the middle of the street as the car turned the corner and was soon just a memory. Sister Rosette stopped as well, staring at Joey, wondering what he would do next.

Joey stood there, his feelings mixed with both anger and sorrow. Joey didn't know what to do, he had just lost his sister. He didn't even know if he would ever see her again, ever hear her voice. "Joey… please…" Sister Rosette said, her voice filled with sadness.

Joey looked up the street. The wind blew through his hair violently. He saw that a car was coming down the other side of the street. Sister Rosette noticed this, with worry filling her chest. "Joey…" Joey's stare did not break away from the car as it got bigger and bigger into view. "Joey, step off the street. Go to the sidewalk." Joey didn't budge. "Joey…" she said, beginning to walk towards Joey, she could feel her heart beginning to beat faster. The car was beginning to get close now, Joey was about to take a step into the street. "Joey!" She yelled, running over to him. The driver had just noticed Joey as he was about to hit him, and quickly put on the breaks. Sister Rosette grabbed Joey and pulled him away. The car screeched to a stop.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Yugi! I called for you 10 minutes ago!" Sister Rosette's voice had broken the silence that had stayed between the 4 of them for the longest of time. Yugi turned around, "Well, we better go inside guys." His horrible memory was soon put aside as Joey simply nodded and followed the others inside of the orphanage.

-A few hours later-

"Children, I hope you all are where you are suppose to be…" Sister Rosette said, as she slipped open the door. There was a lot of shuffling inside the room as the children quickly got into their beds and pulled their covers over them.

She walked into the room. "Well, good to see you are all in your beds." She said, looking around the room at all the children in their respectful beds. "Well, ALMOST all of them." She said, eyeing Mokuba who was sitting on Seto's bed talking with him.

"Mokuba…" she said sternly. Mokuba turned and looked up. "Oh…" he said in a quiet voice, "Sorry…"

"It's alright Mokuba, but please don't do it again." Mokuba silently got out of Seto's bed and climbed into his own. "Alright then, sleep tight all of you. And don't let the bed bugs bite" she turn off the light, "I want NO TALKING, whatsoever. All of you go to bed and get some shut eye." She closed the door silently, and the room was silent. They all could hear Sister Rosette saying good night to the girls in the room next door, and then heard her footsteps slowly disappear into the house.

Now it was silent. Slowly the children began to fall asleep and begin to go into endless dreams of future days of eternal happiness. The silent breathing filled the room as Seto lay awake in bed. His eyes staring into endless darkness as his eyes began to adjust to it. Their was never dreams of happiness for Seto, there were only nightmares. Nightmares of the past, of his parents' death. The torture of these dreams was almost unbearable for the 12 year old to handle, but he still managed to keep it a secret.

Seto soon felt the presence of another awakened and was attempting to quietly moved about. It was not a successful task, since the orphanage was so old, every floor board seemed to make a loud creek. Seto heard the body moved towards his bed, and he quickly shut his eyes pretending to be asleep. The body now slowly pulled over the covers and crept into Seto's bed beside him. Seto now knew whom the body belonged to.

"Mokuba…" he whispered, "What's wrong?" Mokuba didn't dare speak, both afraid that the Sister would hear, and too ashamed to say it. Seto turned on his back and looked over at him. "Something wrong?" he asked, once again in a hushed voice. Mokuba only clutched his brother's arm tighter and said nothing. "I don't want to…"

"It's alright" Seto replied, turning again onto his side and outing his arm around his brother, "Just go to sleep." Mokuba said nothing, just put his thumb back into his mouth and slowly fell into a slumber. An unseen smile appeared on Seto's face as, he too, fell into a slumber.

Now that all was calm and peaceful between the 2 brothers, once again their was silence. Yet, there still was one last soul that lay awake in the night. Yugi stared out the window, looking up at the full moon as it glowed through-out the sky with scattered stars around it. The sky was another endless thing as well as dreams were, they could just go one forever into different places whom no one ever knew existed.

But dreams were not as endless and as merry as the others' were. For Yugi too had nightmares of the past. But instead of keeping it a secret, Yugi had confronted Sister Rosette about it. She had said dreams were merely dreams and nothing more, but they were all too realistic to be just dreams. Yugi was frightened by the monsters and demons that appeared in his dreams and found it best just not to fall asleep.

There was another creek that echoed in the house. Yugi noticed this right away, but said nothing. The presence was not in the room, he was sure of it. There was another creek. It couldn't be from the girls' room ether, he was certain it was from downstairs. But Sister Rosette was never awake at this hour.

Yugi silently got up from his bed and crept his way towards the door. But of his small height and weight, he did not make as much sound as the other boys usually made. He quietly opened a door and stuck his head out of the room, his eyes scanned the top floor where the children's rooms were. The creeks did not stop, they became more quiet, but quick.

Yugi made his way out of the room and towards the stairs, kneeling to make himself more unseen. There was definitely a shadow of some sort creeping around the orphanage, and Yugi was sure it wasn't one of the children. He slunk down the stairs and followed the shadow. Yugi saw the figure now, although he couldn't tell exactly who it was since he stood behind the figure. But he knew it was a man, and not Alfred. He had a strange, but strong smell trailing behind him, and he walked with a bit of a limp.

The man didn't noticed the boy following him, he just slowly made his way towards Sister Rosette's room. Yugi stopped and hid behind a statue that was in the hallway, his eyes widened in curiosity as the man opened the door.
