"Let them kill her for all I care," Seto said. Yugi clenched his fist. "She's your sister!" Duke yelled. Seto rolled his eyes.

"They took Mokuba too," Tristan said. "WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY TOOK MOKUBA!" He yelled, and grabbed Tristan's collar.

"Teà and your sister were taken too, we can save them if we work together," Yugi explained. Seto grunted, and threw Tristan back, "I'm only doing this for Mokuba," he said, and walked to his office. They followed. He opened his laptop, and searched the security cameras.

"We should be able to see how they were kidnapped," He said, they circled behind him. He went back to the beginning of the party, and looked at the other rooms, everything seemed normal.

"I don't see anythin' wrong rich boy," Joey said. Serenity nodded. "What's up between Kaiba and Aina?" Mai asked. Serenity whispered Aina's story in Mai's ear. She was speechless.

Then the laptop glitched. "What's going on?" Seto asked, clicking on his laptop, but then a video came up.

It was that day. The day his mother died. Seto picked his laptop up and paced around the room with worry. He watched the recording.

First there was a lot of yelling. Aina came in behind their mom. She looked dizzy and tired. 'She did leave school early because she felt sick,' Seto thought. Two men came in and tried to take Aina. Then they stabbed his mother, and ran away. Aina sat next to her mother. "Mommy wake up!" She screamed. "If you won't live, than neither will I," she said. "What?" He whispered to himself. She picked up the knife and raised it in the air. Than the young Seto came running in and slapped the knife out of her hand. The video ended. Seto couldn't believe it, he replayed the video. It was real. His heart skipped a beat, and the laptop fell from his hands and shattered.

"Kaiba, What's wrong?" Yugi asked.

Flashback:

Seto was sitting at his desk, working from home on his laptop. Then he heard something shatter. Aimi rushed in. "Mr. Kaiba, sir. Aina broke your expensive vase!" She said. Seto got up from his chair, and into the hallway He saw a shattered vase and Aina was picking the pieces up. "Go." He told Aimi. She nodded and gave Aina an evil grin. "You worthless brat! Do you know how expensive that was!" He yelled.

"I-I'm sorry," she whispered. Seto stepped on her hand, she refused to let out and cries, "Your stupid clumsiness won't get you anywhere." He yanked her up and into his office.

"Why'd you break it?!" He yelled as he drove her into a corner. "I-I didn't do it o-on purpose. I-it was a-an accident," she stuttered. "As if 'sorry' and 'accident' are words that I'll believe! Do you know how expensive that was!" He yelled.

"I'm really-," she started. "Shut up!" He yelled, and raised his hand in the air. Aina closed her eyes, knowing what coming. But when he slapped her, it was harder than usual. She ended up on the floor with her hand over her cheek.

"Go to your room! And don't think that you're getting any food tonight!" He yelled.

End of Flashback...

"Kaiba? What's wrong?" Tristan asked. Seto could not believe what he had done. His whole body was shaking, he couldn't control it. "Get out," he said. Nobody moved. "I said GET OUT!" He yelled again, they left. He fell to his knees, "What did I do..."

He ran downstairs to her room, ignoring the gang. He went into her room, and looked in the closet and under the bed. Maybe there were some notes or something. He found a journal and opened it, he read an entry:

October 25th; Seto's and My Birthday.

Today was me and my big brother's birthday. It wasn't the best. But thankfully I moved into the Kaiba mansion. I'm still underground though. Seto gave me a better room than the last one. He said I must start working as a servant here if I want to stay. And I'm the only female servant at the Kaiba mansion. He got really mad and cut my hair. He said to dye it a different color, and wear contacts so people wouldn't know I'm his 'stupid sister'. I still don't know why he hates me so much, or why he treats me like this. The picture I drew him is ruined, he didn't like it. But that's ok! I'm making a newer one! And I hope he likes it! Well, I've got to wake up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow. Goodnight big brother, Mokie!

A few tears went down his face, he took out a paper that was hanging from the journal. He unfolded the paper, it was the 'newer picture' and it was better, way better than the last one. Even though the last one was amazing.

He flipped it over, it was a letter, to Seto:

Dear Mr. Kaiba,

Happy Birthday! I'm sorry the last picture was terrible, you were right. I hope you like this picture. I know you hate me, I wish you could just tell me why, maybe I could make up for my mistakes. I'm also sorry I delivered this picture late. I'm really sorry...

- Aina

He flipped through other pages she had written on. Every one was more hertbreaking than the other.

November 4th; Broken Vase

I don't know where to start. Aimi broke that very expensive vase that Seto had got as a gift from somewhere. Then she blamed it on me, I could've told Seto, but she threatned to rip the picture I'm drawing for him. And she would do it. Seto got really mad at me. Really mad. And now my hand hurts really badly because he stepped on it. But it was kinda worth it, like protecting the picture part. He took me into his office and started yeling at me. When I apologized, he told me to shut up. Then he slapped me really hard. Now I have this bruise on my face. Maybe when he beats me up he takes out the stress of his work. Come to think of it. I don't really have a purpose in this world . So Seto hitting me is the only reason I'm alive. I did attempt suicide a few days ago. But Mokuba barged into the room. Seto works really hard and he is the smartest person I know. It's just that...I don't know. I have to go, someone's coming.

Seto didn't realize that tears were dropping from his face. "Why? How? Suicide? What did I do?" he whispered to himself. "AINA!!!!" And he broke down into tears.

Meanwhile, with Aina...

"Let me go!" She yelled. Her hands were tied behind her back, Mokuba and Teà were taken somewhere else. Marik walked in. "So you're the posseser of the Blue Eyes White Dragon," he said. "What do you want? Where did you take Mokuba and Teà?" She yelled. Tsk. Tsk.

"My name is Marik. Aina, a girl like you getting treated harshly by your brother," he said. "Now that is one reason why you should fight against him."

"How do you know my name? And I won't fight against my brother no matter what! You won't win!" She yelled. "Shut up!", "No!", "Listen to me!", "No! You're a looser and you know it too! So let me, Mokuba and Teà go!" She yelled. He pulled out a phone and some rare hunters came in.

"Now watch as your brother falls into our trap," Marik said. She grunted, "You're an idiot, my brother is gonna get us out of this mess, then you and your pathetic crew are gonna pay," she spat.

"Pathetic crew, huh?" A rare hunter asked, and grabbed her hair, pulling her up. "Yup," she said. He grabbed her hair tighter. The phone began to ring on speaker. "Hello? Who is this?" Seto asked. "It's Marik, you better come here tomorrow, or it's bye-bye for Aina," Marik said.

"Be careful Seto! It's a trap!" She yelled, then shrieked. The rare hunter electrocuted her arm. "Aina! Leave her alone!" Seto yelled over the phone. She fell on the ground, and one of them kicked her in the stomach.

Seto heard her shrieking over the phone. They continued to kick her back and forth. "Don't fall for it Seto..." she whispered, before she passed out.

With Mokuba and Teà...

"Hey! Let us out!" Mokuba yelled, banging on a metal door. They were trapped in a big room with very high ceilings and boxes.There were two windows, but they were at the ceiling. "Mokuba, it's no use," Teà said, thinking of what to do. "But what about Aina! Didn't you hear her shrieking?" Mokuba said. She nodded.

Later on, Teà hid Mokuba in between the boxes, and stacked the boxes to open the window. It was way too small for either of them to slip through it. Mokuba sent his location to Seto from his phone that the rare hunters forgot about. Teà and Mokuba fell asleep, waiting to be rescued.

The next day...

Seto and the gang hopped of the helicopter and ran to the docks, were Mokuba had sent his location. There stood Aina and Teà. "Welcome," Aina said coldly. "Aina!"Seto said. "Not exactly. Aina isn't present, she's gone away," Aina said. "It's Marik," said Yugi. "That's correct, and if you want your worthless sister or precious friend then you'll listen to me," Aina said. She looked terrible, she had running down her mouth. She had more bruises then before. Her hair was messed up. Her mind was taken over.

They walked over to a platform, and cuffed one of their ankles then they dueled. Seto tried to get through to Aina but it was no use, until Mokuba came along, he set her free. Mokuba also saved Teà from a rare hunter.

Then it came to the last moves. The outcome of the duel depended on Aina's decision, she could attck Seto and win the duel, ir attack herself. She looked exhausted, and was shaking. "And now..." she said.

"What are you doing Aina!" Seto yelled. She tilted her head and gave him a close eyed smile. "Saving you," she said. "Don't do Aina!" The attack directed torwards her. "AINA!" Seto yelled.

Aina took the hit and fell back, unconscious. The key revealed on Seto's side. 'Thats right! That card has another effect!" He thought, and directed an attack torwards himself.

He grabbed his key, and swung over, and quickly grabbed hers, then the anchor dropped. Mokuba tried to grab his hand.

"Mokuba!", "Seto!"

Seto and Aina sunk deeper and deeper. Aina was choking. Seto unlocked her chain and his, and took her up to the surface.

Duke took Aina from Seto and layed her down on the ground. She coughed a bit, and continued to breath. Seto, for the first time in his life, was concerned for Aina. He got out of the water and scrambled over.

He put Aina on his lap. She was breathing, but unconscious. Seto put her head against his chest and moved her hair from her face.

Mokuba smiled, and so did the others. Seto regreted everything he had done.

They ended up in the hospital. Aina had to stay there overnight, until she woke up. She was in a bed, covered in a white blanket. A bunch of machines next to her. And an oxyen mask over her mouth. She had an IV in her arm too.

The doctor went in, then came back out. "So? Is she going to be alright?" Seto asked. "She has a broken leg, and a lot of bruises and cuts. I also found out that she has a concussion. I wrapped her hand because she had a big bruise on it. I put a cast on her leg, and I'll get the crutches. Here is a list of vitamins and medicines for her to take. Let her eat. She's too skinny for her age. I'll send a nurse with her crutches, do you know what caused this?" He asked. "S-she was bullied at school," Seto lied. The doctor nodded and handed Seto a note. "Here" The nurse brought the crutches.

Seto nodded and walked back into the room. Aina was in a deep sleep. Seto adjusted her blanket, and sat on a chair next to her. Her face held a tired expression. Her face was pale, with dark circles under her eyes.

Seto fell asleep, thinking about how to apologize to her.

Aina POV

I felt so cold, and weak. My body felt so heavy and pain surged through me. "Hey Aina, it's me Seto. It's been a week since you've been in the hospital. I know I've said this about a million times already but I'm really sorry. This is all my fault, the whole reason you're in the hospital. I was an idiot to think you would do anything wrong. But please, wake up. You can torture me all you want, but you're torturing yourself like this. I've postponed the finals. There is no way I'm going to duel without knowing my sister is ok. If you can here me, please wake up. Say something. I'm sorry, please! Just open your eyes!" he said.

Seto. That was Seto. My brother. Was his voice cracking up. No, it couldn't. What was going on? What was on my face? I felt so confused, that a tear ran down my face. I felt my hand being held, and little drops of water, I think, fell onto my hand. "S-Seto..." I managed to croak out. "Aina?" he replied. I put all the strength I had and slowly opened my eyes. A bright light shined in them. "Seto?" I asked again, looking at him. My vision was a bit blurred. He smiled widley.

I started coughing and Seto helped me sit up. He sat next to me on the bed, and wrapped an arm around my shoulders so I wouldn't fall back. "Do you want some water?" He asked me. "You d-don't h-have to," I whispered. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Y-you d-don't h-have to a-act all nice because w-we're in a h-hospital."

He took the oxygen mask off, and gave me some water. I gulped it down because my mouth felt so dry. "I do have to," he said. He got me another blanket, and called the doctor to check on me, and Seto waited outside.

The doctor said I would have to stay at the hospital another night to make sure everything goes back to normal. He said I could take the oxygen mask off. I didn't feel like myself. Everything felt so far and distant. I zoned out every now and then.

Once the doctor left, Seto came back in. I lowered my head and didn't look at him. For some reason I was so mad at him. But I didn't know why. Being in the hospital, and after I remembered what happened, I couldn't just not be mad at him. My stomach hurt from moving around.

He sat on the chair next to me. "I'm glad you're ok," he said. I didn't answer. 'Why? Why is this happening to me? Why is my life like this! Why do I have a spirit inside of me?! What did I do to deserve this!' I thought.

"Aina, I-I'm sorry," he said. That's where I snapped. Did he really expect that 'sorry' was going to make up for it!

My hands balled up into fists, even though it hurt I didn't care. "Sorry? Sorry! You think sorry is going to make up for all those years! You're not sorry, It's just some act. If we stay here tonight, you'll just beat me up tomorrow!" I yelled at him.

He bit his lip. "Aina I mean it this time-," he said. Then I cut him off, "You don't mean it! And everything I've ever done to satisfy you, you ruin it! I spend so much time trying my best. Do you know how many scars I have because of you?! You're such an- an idiot!" I yelled at him. He lowered his head, and his hands balled into fists. I turned to him, with my feet dangling down from the bed, my right leg hurt since it was broken, but I didn't care.

"Come on! Do it already! Slap me! Do it and get it over with! Or maybe you'll punch me this time!" I yelled at him. A tear dropped on his right hand. He looked up at me with tears flowing down his face. Was he really crying?

He sat infront of me and held my hands. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Do anything! Anything! Anything to make it up to you!" I pulled my hands away. He looked up at me, with tears flowing down his face.

"Just leave me alone," I muttered, and layed down on the bed, my anger just vanished. What was up with me? He stood up. "Aina-," he started, but I just turned around. "Please Mr. Kaiba, just leave me alone, I-Im sorry. But I just want to be alone," I said in my normal voice. You know, the scared, frightened voice. "Don't call me that!" He yelled, then but his lip. I shrank in the bed.

Seto POV

"Don't call me that!" I yelled at Aina. It was on accident! Aina shrank in the hospital bed. "I-I'm s-sorry," She stuttered, a few tears ran down her cheek. I sighed, and walked towards her. She backed away, and when she reached the end of the bed, against the wall, she closed her eyes shut. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she whispered. I sat on the bed next to her. "No, I'm sorry," I told her. Her whole body was shivering. She really was scared of me.

"Please don't hurt me," she whimpered.

I wrapped my arms around her, and gave her a tight hug. She stopped shivering, and calmed down. "D-do... you r-really m-mean it?" She asked.

Nobody's POV

"I do," he whispered, and ended up crying in her shoulder. Her hands shook as she wrapped her arms around him. They both sat there crying in each others arms.

Once they pulled out of the hug, they looked each other in the eyes. "B-but why?" Aina asked. "I-I-," he started, but there was a knock on the door. Seto wiped his tears and took a deep breath. Aina giggled, he smiled. "Come in," Seto said in his cold voice.

"Aina! You're awake!" It was Mokuba. Aina smiled weakly and nodded. He ran over and jumped on to her. "You took forever to wake up!!!" He said. "I was really sleepy," Aina said. 'She isn't stuttering, I have to let her know to not be afraid of me,' Seto thought.

"Look what I got!" He pulled out her diary, and her face turned a bright red. "Don't tell me you read it?" Aina whined. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, ok, I didn't, I just always wanted to say that," he said.

They all talked for a while, ate, then Mokuba left and went home. Seto said it would be safer for him there, and he put guards all over the mansion.

Seto sat next to Aina on the hospital bed, she looked a bit frightened. "Aina, I don't want you to be afraid of me," he said. Her frightened gaze softened. She smiled and nodded. Seto's gaze also softened. "You should go to sleep, you need all the rest you can get," he said. "D-do you want t-to sleep too? I-I could easily make s-some space," she said. Seto shook his head no. "Come over here," he said. She got closer to him, he ran his fingers through her hair, then the next thing she knew her head was against his chest.

"Goodnight Seto," she whispered lightly. "Goodnight Aina."
