Peach Wookiee: I'm happy my story is seemingly realistic to my wonderful readers! Thanks for the review!

AmePiper: I'm not sure why I'm doing this, I guess I like to make Seto and Mokuba suffer. Which sounds terrible, but at the same time sounds logical considering all my stories are really sad and I always put poor Seto and Mokuba through some hard shit. But anyways, I must be off for you need to read this chapter! Toodles.

Chapter 14

Story of our Lives

"NII-SAMA!… Nii-sama, please! Wake up!"

"I've called 911, an ambulance should be on its way."

"Is he going to be okay, Steven?"

"I don't know… I'm not even sure what happened to him."

"Oh God… Nii-sama…" So many voices wondering through his mind, where was he? Seto was confused, everything was black and yet he heard Mokuba and Steven in the room. It was like he was conscious, but at the same time he wasn't. Although he began to feel as though he was coming along when he started to feel an immense pain in his head and his vision began to clear up.

"Nii-sama!" Mokuba shouted with glee before tackling his brother with a hug. Seto looked around to find that Gozaburo was gone and that Steven and Mokuba appeared to be the only people present in the room. "I was so worried," Mokuba said after he finally let Seto go. "What happened to you?" Seto sighed.

"If I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me."

"I've seen a lot of crazy things Seto, I think you can tell me." Mokuba smiled and Seto returned the smile. He looked up at Steven as he sat up.

"And what are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing sir!" Mokuba gave Seto a playful punch.

"Oh, be nice Nii-sama. Steven was trying to do everything in his power to help you when you were unconscious."

"Well, it's not like I asked for his help to begin with…"

"Nii-sama!"

"I'm just kidding." Seto and Mokuba returned to their feet and it felt as though everything was back to normal again. Seto looked outside and noticed that it was dark. "How long was I out exactly?"

"Well, I'm not sure…" Steven said, "A couple hours or so." Seto put his hand through his hair and rubbed the back of his head. The headache was becoming worse and worse.

"Steven, could you fetch me some aspirin and some water?"

"Right away sir." Seto sat down on the couch and Mokuba did the same. Seto and Mokuba sat next to each other in silence. Mokuba was contemplating whether to tell his brother about what had happened between him and Ms. Morgan. He desperately wanted to tell him, to feel like he wasn't alone in this world with a huge secret. But at the same time… how would his brother react? What if he reacted in disgust rather than worry? What if he completely took it the wrong way? But on the other hand, if he knew, he would protect Mokuba at all costs to make sure he was safe. At least, that was what he always tried to do.

"Nii-sama…"

"Yes Mokuba?"

"I… I need to tell you something." All of Seto's attention was on Mokuba now. This was it. He was going to do it. Mokuba started to twiddle his thumbs in nervousness.

"Well… something sort of happened at school today…"

"Like what?"

"Well, you see-" Seto's cell phone started to go off.

"Hold that thought," Seto flipped out his phone and put it up to his ear, "Hello?"

"Why hello there, Kaiba-boy, having a pleasant evening?"

"Pegasus! How did you get my cell phone number? Can't you leave me alone already, I did you're stupid interview!" Pegasus giggled.

"I know you did Kaiba-boy, that's what I'm calling you about." Seto stopped pacing back and forth in the living room.

"What? Did I get the job?"

"I'm happy to say you did…" Although it felt very strange and foreign to him, Seto could feel a sense of excitement emerging from his stomach and proceeding up. His head began bouncing with happiness. He had never felt this way before; it was a sense of accomplishment Seto had never really gotten a chance to feel before in his life.

"Well, I guess that's good," Seto replied plainly, trying to push back down his excitement and return his face back to normal, "So what position am I working?"

"You're an administrative assistant." Seto's jaw dropped.

"WHAT?!" Seto's yelling made Mokuba jumped. "You can't be seriously Pegasus, you know administrative assistant is completely below me. That's mutt work! I'm Seto Kaiba, how can you possibly expect me to administratively assist people?!"

"You'll just have to figure it out for yourself, Kaiba-boy. I expect you in your new office tomorrow morning at nine. Your training will begin that day." Pegasus hung up the phone, leaving Seto speechless.

"I can't believe this!" Seto threw his phone across the room, "How dare he do this to me! How dare he!"

"Nii-sama, what happened?!" Mokuba asked frantically when he noticed his brother was beginning to act quite insanely when his brother started to punch and kick everything in the room.

"He gave me the lowest job there is. How could he do this to me?! I'll kill him… I'll kill him!" Seto grabbed a lamp off the coffee table and threw it against the wall. Like a firework being set off, it exploded into lots of pieces and flew all across the room. Steven ran into the room.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Steven yelled.

"STAY OUT OF THIS GOZABURO!" Seto yelled in a bloodthirsty voice.

"Gozaburo?" Mokuba sprinted across the room over to Steven, clutching his leg and hiding behind him. "Mr. Kaiba, it's me! Steven!" Steven put his hand on Mokuba's shoulder and held him tightly against him. His heart was pounding very, very fast as Seto took a step forward with both his eyes fixed on him. "Mr. Kaiba! Please remember who I am!"

"I remember EXACTLY who you are, Gozaburo! I thought killing you once would finally rid you of my life, but I guess I'll just have to kill you again! Now step away from my brother!" Steven looked down at Mokuba.

"What is he talking about!?"

"I think he thinks you're our step father Gozaburo!" Seto took another step forward.

"There's nowhere to run now Gozaburo…" Steven gulped.

"I think you're right." Seto gave a loud battle cry before jumping forward with his arms extended, hands reaching for Steven's neck. Steven jumped backwards and wrapped his arms around Mokuba, lifting him off the ground. "We need to get out of here." Steven started out of the living room and up the stairs. Like a hawk swooping in for his prey Seto following closely behind them. His eager footsteps sounded similar to thunder roaring in the distance. Steven took a turn into Seto's office.

"I'M COMING FOR YOU GOZAB-" Steven smacked Seto right in the face with a bat once Seto stepped into the office. Seto fell the ground, unconscious once again. Steven dropped the bat quickly afterwards.

"Oh my god… oh my god… I just knocked out Mr. Kaiba… he's going to fire me for sure… oh god!" Steven buried his face in his hands; his body was shaking violently from fear. He slowly sat down and leaned against the wall hoping to calm his body. Mokuba walked over to Steven and placed his hand on Steven's head.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay… you did the right thing…" Mokuba said in a comforting voice, a little shaken up himself from the whole thing. "I would've done the same thing… sort of." Steven removed his hands from his face and placed them on the ground, looking up at Mokuba.

"I'm sorry you had to see that happen, I was afraid he was going to… well, do something he might regret."

"That wouldn't have been the first time he's done something he would have regretted," Mokuba said sorrowfully, sitting down beside Steven against the wall, "My brother does a lot of things on impulse and doesn't really think about his decision much."

"Oh… I see," Steven looked over at Mokuba, "Mokuba… I really want to know you and Mr. Kaiba's story. I mean, you guys are the most interesting people I've ever worked for. I have a feeling there's some sort of life challenging story behind you two."

"Well, you could say that," Mokuba took a deep breath, "I guess I could tell you if you really wanted, but if I tell my story, you have to me your story, okay?" Steven nodded.

"That sounds reasonable."

"Well… I'm not exactly sure where to begin. I guess I should start from the very beginning. I never knew my mother… she died giving birth to me. And… well, my mother's death hit my brother and my dad really hard. Her death sort of drove my dad to committing suicide, and he kind of made my brother watch him kill himself." Steven's eyes widened. "Seto became my parent in a way, since I didn't really know my parents. Seto was the only one that knew them. Right after they died, no one wanted to take us in, so we were dumped at an orphanage. Life at the orphanage was hard, but an okay place to live. But Seto wanted freedom more than anything else. That's when our stepfather came into the picture. To make a long story short, he ended up adopting us and only making our lives worse. He abused Seto mercilessly and made him into what he is today; emotionless and power hungry. But I'm the only one that sees his old side, the person he use to be before Gozaburo tried to destroy him."

"Wow… that's… that's tough kid… that really is… I feel for you." Mokuba shrugged.

"It happens. I mean, I've dealt with it for so long, it doesn't really bother me anymore…" Mokuba turned his head, "But what about you? What's you're story?" Steven sighed and looked down.

"Well… if I were to start from the beginning, I would probably say I was the youngest of five children, all of which were boys," Steven began, "My family was extremely poor, and my mother was very sick all through-out my life. But even though she was sick, she tried everything she could to push us through school with what little money she had. She always told us education was the most important thing. But… my grades were never the grades she wanted. She always told me to be more like my brothers and asked me why I couldn't push myself to being more like my brothers. I didn't know why, I just didn't seem to get things as easily as my older brothers. My father was worse though, he was never home. But when he was home, he was abuse us to no end. My poor mother… she never gave up hope on him even though my brothers and I knew he was a worthless bastard and that he didn't love her. Well, to make my own story short, I got the hell out of that house the moment I turned 18. I worked around doing meaningless jobs until I worked up enough money to go to college and get my degree. When I graduated, I moved to L.A. to find me some business, and sure enough your brother called."

"Well… it sounds like you didn't have it easy either… whatever happened to your family?"

"Well, sure enough, somehow my mother was able to push us all through high school and college and get ourselves degrees. My brothers have all moved away to various places and are doing various jobs, but I don't really talk to them anymore. There are just some things my family hasn't come to terms with and the abuse has remained silent." Mokuba frowned, feeling sorry for Steven. Steven noticed his sad face and put is arm around Mokuba's neck. "Look kid, it's not as bad as you think. I'm happy now, and I don't really care that I don't talk to my family."

"But… your suppose to care about your family, your family is always suppose to be their for you. There's no way you're whole family can just get back together again and talk this whole thing through?"

"I'm afraid not, Mokuba… I mean, I'm not even sure where all my brothers live or if my father ever returned from his "business trip" he went on several years ago."

"What about your mother?"

"I'm still not sure if she's still alive or not…"

"How can you live that way?" Mokuba got to his feet and faced him, "How can you live not knowing whether your mom is alive or not?"

"I live just the way I did not knowing whether my father was ever going to come back home or not."

"But don't you care about your mother?"

"There are some things I still can't get over that my mother never patched up in my life… scars that still haven't healed…"

"Look at me! Gozaburo never exactly 'patched up' everything he put my brother and I through, and he's dead now." Steven now got to his feet.

"I never expected you to understand the way I feel." Steven turned his back and began to walk away when Mokuba spoke once more.

"I never thought you'd be the kind of person to turn his back on his family." Steven left the room, leaving Seto's office filled with all kinds of emotions.

A/N: I hope you guys are finally happy that you got some Steven back round. I know how much you all love Steven and I'm hoping you guys liked what you read. I hope I wrote it okay. Also, I was wondering if in your next reviews, let me know if you want me to write some more about Steven in the next chapter. Some more in depth stuff possibly. I just want to know cause the reason Steven has been sort of in and out is because most people don't like made up characters, cause quite frankly, they're annoying. But since you all love Steven so much, I'd like to know. This chapter, I will admit, came a bit randomly. I will admit Seto went a bit out of character in this one, but he's just been under a lot of stress lately and with the whole Gozaburo and finding out he's got the worst job ever… yeah, he went a bit crazy. I didn't expect this chapter to go that way, but hopefully it's a lot more interesting and suspenseful than what I had in mind. But anyways, I really hope you guys liked this chapter!
