Little Seto Kaiba sat quietly on his bed. He trembled waiting for Gozaburo, a very drunk Gozaburo probably. Why did I ever go with this horrible man? He thought. An even better question why did I drag Mokuba with me?
He looked at his little brother of only about five sleeping soundly; he couldn't help but smile. Seto reached over and tousled his hair a little. Straining his ears, he caught the sound of footsteps below. Quickly, the brown haired boy got up and left the room. He didn't want Mokuba to wake up to his older brother being beaten. Opening the door silently, he slipped out into the hall, and walked to the study.
"What are you doing up, boy?" Seto jumped at Gozaburo's loud icy voice. He closed his blue eyes as he spun slowly around.
"I...I couldn't... couldn't sleep... Sir" Seto stammered out. He hated stammering. So did Gozaburo. He punched Seto hard in the face.
"You scared of me, boy?" Seto fell to the ground as Gozaburo hit him again.
"No, sir. I'm not scared." Gozaburo grabbed Seto's brown hair dragging him up to his eye level.
"You should be." He grinned an evil horrible grin, making Seto's eyes grow wide in fear. 'Someone please help me.' Seto thought. 'Please someone save me!' Gozaburo threw him against the wall, making Seto cry out in pain.
"Oh did that hurt?" He taunted, kicking Seto roughly in the ribs. "You poor baby."
The beating went on for a while. Seto lost count of how many times he was hit, but finally Gozaburo left him bruised and broken. He lay on the floor letting his pain sink in.
"what did I do to deserve this?" He asked out loud. "Please just tell me what did I do?" The tears slipped down his cheeks as he silently began to cry. He knew it was forbidden. Gozaburo would kill him if he found out he had cried.
"Only weaklings cry" he used to tell Seto, but no one was watching so he was ok, but that's where he was wrong. Someone was watching. Someone who didn't quite care that he was crying, in fact he welcomed it. This little watcher knew that everyone needed to cry, even Kaibas.
Slowly pulling himself to his feet Seto walked to the window. Slipping out to the balcony, he looked up at the stars above as the blood flowed through his cuts.
"Seto?" Seto turned to see his little brother rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"Seto, why aren't you sleeping?" Seto smiled at Mokuba. "Better question, little bro. Why aren't you in bed?"
Mokuba walked over to his brother, slipping into his lap. Seto winced as the raven-haired child settled in, not noticing the state his older brother was in.
'We'll be safe. As long as we are together.' Seto thought with a smile. He fell asleep with his little brother snuggled against his chest, and whether he knew it or not, he was being watched over by his own little watcher.
