"Urgh…where am I?"

Ausar looked around, his head was terribly spinning. He held his head, he could practically feels his dinner coming up…nasty. He looked up and searched at the tall buildings all around him. He knew that he was in Domino, he could recognize those buildings from the home that he, Jolinar and Enki were in.

He looked around, trying to see if he was in familiar territory that he walked on before. But no, wherever he was, it wasn't a place he walked through before. He raked his hair through his hair and stopped. He took a string of hair and saw the familiar long, brown hair that was his.

"I'm me again!" Ausar said happily. He looked around and saw that it was nighttime that's for sure. There was nobody in the streets and all lights from the buildings around him were off. It was late.

He began to walk, trying to find anybody in this sleepy place to give him directions.

Don't get him wrong. He was happy that he was himself again -No more school!- but he had no idea how he got here. He looked up and estimated from the distance from the tall buildings and himself that he wasn't very far away from home. He looked up at the stars and began to guide himself home.

"It's a good thing they taught us to walk with the gods guides home back home." Ausar muttered. It was really strange. Just a few weeks ago he -and the rest of his people from back home- believed that the tiny lights up in the skies were guides sent from the gods and goddesses to guide them all to their homes. Just two days ago since he's gone to school, he learned that wasn't true.

Funny how one finds out what they thought was true was wrong.

He stopped in his tracks. He heard footsteps behind him. He reached for his wrists and took out a dagger that he hid. Long experience taught him never to go anywhere at night, or day, without a weapon. Thinking that he was back home, he spun and held the dagger ready for a fight.

He sighed in relief when he saw who it was.

"Jolinar. You gave me quite a scare there." He straightened and returned the dagger back to it's hidden place. He looked at Jolinar, who was walking slowly, and saw that he was wearing clothes that Ausar didn't see him buy.

He was wearing a rather long, sleeveless white trench coat that flared out behind him. He also noticed that he was wearing the black clothes -that weren't covered in blood- and buckles that Ausar saw on him when he first met him. Ausar expected him to stop when he reached him but he didn't. Jolinar just kept on walking.

Ausar saw that Jolinar was lost in thought when he was close enough. "Jolinar are you alright- what the- EEH!" Ausar shivered when he felt Jolinar go right through him. He noticed that Jolinar didn't even blink when he saw him.

Ausar spun around to look at Jolinar behind him, but Jolinar disappeared around the corner. He walked to Jolinar who hadn't even felt his presence. "Jolinar…what's going on?" He knew it was pointless to try to talk to him but what else was there to do?

He looked up ahead and saw someone in Jolinar's way. Jolinar didn't seem to notice the stranger and kept on walking, still deep in thought. He didn't stop walking until it was too late. Jolinar bumped into the stranger, clearly out of his daze.

"Sorry." The stranger said. Ausar narrowed his eyes. The stranger apologized in a rather mocking way.

"Yeah well next time watch where you're going." Jolinar said rather too coldly and rudely in Ausar's opinion. Ausar opened his mouth to scold Jolinar that he should've watched where he was going when he remembered that there was no point if Jolinar wouldn't be able to hear him. Jolinar walked around the stranger and went his way, again lost in his thoughts.

Ausar followed Jolinar, puzzled at his son's behavior.

Why is Jolinar acting like this? Ausar mused. It was true that Jolinar would act rudely sometimes but not like this.

Ausar decided that it was time for him to be heard. He quickly went into his source and began to take a pinch of his power. He expected to see the string that connected himself to Jolinar and Enki, but he saw neither both. He began to take more power but stopped and turned around. He heard footsteps. That stranger was following Jolinar!

Obviously, Jolinar heard the steps and turned around. Ausar shuddered when he saw the coldness in his son's eyes. "What do you want?" The stranger said nothing. Ausar saw Jolinar growl and turned around swiftly on his way. Ausar followed Jolinar but looked back that the stranger slowed his pace, but still followed Jolinar.

Ausar, forgetting that Jolinar can't see or hear him, warned "Pick up your pace Blue Eyes. He's still following us." It was the same warning that Ausar gave Jolinar when Enki sensed danger.

Coincidently, Jolinar seemed to have heard the warning and quickened his pace, his eyes no longer deep in thought. Ausar looked back and saw that the stranger too began to speed up. Jolinar turned left and right, Ausar felt that he was trying to lose the stalker but it was all in vain.

Somehow they managed to get themselves into a large area of trees. Ausar looked back and saw that the stalker was not too far behind. Ausar stopped following Jolinar and waited until the stalker reached up to him. Ausar saw the stalker walk more calmly, quietly, his footsteps barely making a noise.

"Who are you?" Ausar whispered when he saw the stalker The stalker didn't hear of course, he just kept on following Jolinar.

Ausar and the stalker stopped when they saw Jolinar spin around suddenly to look at them angrily. "What the hell do you want?" Jolinar yelled at them. "Go on to your fucking business and quit following me!" Ausar would've cheered for him if it weren't' for the fact that the stalker took out a dagger.

Ausar caught his breath. He knew that dagger! That dagger belonged to all those who followed Aron! "Jolinar run!" Ausar attempted to grab the stalker's hand but he just went through him. Jolinar swore when he looked at the dagger and ran off. He wasn't going to get killed

The stalker threw his arm and threw the dagger at Jolinar's direction. The stalker's aim was fair and true, but missed it's target. The dagger did hit Jolinar, but the dagger was meant for his heart not his ribs. Ausar glared at the stalker, he was eager to wipe out the bastards' smirk off his face but he knew it won't be of any use. Ausar ran to Jolinar even though he knew that Jolinar can't see him.

Jolinar took out the dagger painfully out of him and threw it on the floor. "No idiot! Keep the dagger! He'll use it again!" Ausar yelled at Jolinar angrily. Jolinar didn't hear and swore again, his hand over his wound. Jolinar got up and ran off. Ausar looked back and saw the stalker calmly reach for his dagger and followed Jolinar's trail.

The stalker reached Jolinar and threw the dagger again. This time missing completely and embedding itself at the end of Jolinar's trench coat and into a tree. Jolinar tripped when his coat got caught in the tree. Ausar winced. He knew how painful it was to fall when you had a wound. Not pretty.

That trip was more than enough time for the stalker to reach and grab Jolinar. Swiftly, Jolinar grabbed the dagger from his stalker's hands and stuck it in his stalker's left thigh. The stalker howled and let go of Jolinar.

Jolinar got up and pulled on the trench coat, ripping the coat in the process. Jolinar then ran again, Ausar followed him. With a painful groan the stalker took out the dagger and limped towards Jolinar.

What the hell is going on here? Why can't Jolinar hear me? Ausar looked back and saw the stalker running towards him and Jolinar. He looked up again and saw Jolinar stuck between two bushes, his coat entangled in them.

"Take the coat off!" Ausar advised. As if he heard him, Jolinar took off his coat, getting himself free and ran off again.

He didn't got off by far, the stalker managed to reach him and held Jolinar.

"Get your hands off him!" Ausar yelled. He punched the guy, but it was of no use. He just went through.

"Get off of me you bastard!" Jolinar yelled. The birds in the trees flew off, knowing that there was danger about. The stalker slashed again, trying to cut his throat. Ausar growled and threw back his hand, ready to punch the stalker. At the same time Jolinar threw back his head. At the same second Jolinar's head and Ausar's fist connected and hit the stalker's nose full force.

Ausar blinked. He could feel his hand hitting the stalker!

The stalker howled and let go of Jolinar. Jolinar ran off again, his hand clutching his side. Ausar went after him, looking back from time to time. He saw the stalker limp towards them. Ausar sighed in relief. That stalker won't follow Jolinar now.

"Brisnigr!"

Ausar stopped when he heard that word. He and Jolinar looked back and saw the fire coming towards them. Ausar shivered when he felt the fireball go through him.

"Get down!" Ausar pushed Jolinar and miraculously Jolinar fell, the fireball missing him and falling to the ground four feet in front of him. Ausar heard Jolinar groan as he stood up. Sorry Blue Eyes

Ausar looked at the stalker and saw him grin and laugh.

"You know," the stalker said, " I was thinking of just stabbing you to death. You know, a fast death." he chuckled. "But now I'm mad. Why didn't you just let me kill you when I had you? I most certainly didn't like that tiring chase. And this wound!" he pointed at his thigh. "Why did you have to do this? By my own knife! Now I shall be the laughing stock of my rank." he shook his head and began to tsk. "Now that won't do will you? You deserve a slow death. A really, really, really, slow death. How about say… you burn? Hmm?"

The hunter pointed at the burning fire and shouted,

"Risa!"

The fire began to rise, Jolinar put his arms up in order to avoid being burned.

"This is ironic really!" the hunter said over the crackling of fire. "Your mother killed one of my comrades like this! By burning him! Wait…" the hunter had a thoughtful face on him, as if he were thinking something over. "Actually, it was your father who killed the comrade, your mother just helped."

And I'm damn proud of killing that comrade of yours you sick bastard. Ausar looked at the stalker hatefully.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Ausar jumped when he heard Jolinar yell. Boy can he shout. "Now listen here! I have absolutely no idea why you're trying to kill me or what the heck you're even talking about! Obviously, you got the wrong person! Now I demand you leave me alone before I decide to throw you to the fire! And you get to die the slow death! It's your choice!"

Ausar thumped his head and groaned. Obviously, Jolinar had no idea who he was messing with. "Now would be a good idea to run Jolinar." But Jolinar didn't listen to him. The stalker walked towards him, a sadistic grin on his face. Ausar was about to turn when he felt a blur go past him. He blinked and saw Jolinar beating the heck out of the guy, his knife already out of his hand.

Go Jolinar! Go!

Ausar looked as he saw the stalker reach for the knife and stabbed Jolinar twice on his right ribs. Ausar winced as he heard Jolinar in pain. The stalker kicked Jolinar away and got up, holding his bloody nose.

Ausar felt so helpless! He looked at Jolinar. His black shirt was soaked with blood flowing from the wounds. His brown hair was dirtied up and messed up. He was crouching, grunting in pain. The stalker grabbed Jolinar and turned him around, facing him. Ausar clenched his hands in fury when he saw Jolinar's clouded eyes, the stalker with his dagger up high, ready to strike.

Ausar saw that Jolinar was trying to stay awake.

The stalker chuckled.

"You really look a lot like your father."

That was it. Ausar was ready to fight that guy. Every thought vanished, even knowing that he couldn't hurt the stalker, he was ready to kill him.

In Ausar's point of view, the stalker lowered the dagger in slow motion. Jolinar closed his eyes, ready for the blow.

"Gods damn it! Wake up Jolinar! You're a mage for goodness sakes! Don't be such a weakling!" Ausar yelled with all his might. He was about to go towards them when Jolinar suddenly began to glow. Ausar covered his face. The Sight vision was too bright. He looked quickly at Jolinar and the stalker.

The stalker's face was filled with shock. Jolinar's eyes were still closed. Ausar risked a blink and regretted it.

They were gone.

00000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

Birds twittered.

Children laughed.

Smells of food filled the air.

Jolinar opened his eyes.

He blinked in surprise.

He looked around astonished. He couldn't believe it.

He was back in the village of traders.

A cry escaped his lips. No, it wasn't a cry of despair but a cry of happiness. He couldn't believe it. He was back! Back in the village that found him nearly dead.

Back in the village that cared for him was he was unconscious.

Back in the village where they accepted him as their own people.

Back in the village that taught him their language.

Back in the village that was his home.

Back in the village where he met Ausar.

Jolinar laughed. He was back home! Home! Home sweet home!

He knew this wasn't his real home, but it was the only one that he knew and loved and felt safe.

Something was wrong.

Why am I here? How did I get here? Jolinar looked around. Aren't I supposed to be in Domino? Where's Ausar? Where's Enki?

Panic settled in. He knew where he was and he knew that he was safe. But where was his father? Enki? He looked around the crowd that was around him, searching for a tall male and a humongous dog.

He stood on his tip toes, jumped over the crowd and didn't find the familiar family that he had gotten used to.

"Dad! Enki!" Jolinar called them but no one answered. Nobody didn't even turned around to even acknowledge him. He went to a random person and asked. "Excuse me, but have you seen a tall male-maybe as tall as me, and a big huge dog? Excuse me-hey! Excuse me! Excus-hey mis-ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" Nobody didn't even jumped when they heard him yell. In fact, nobody seemed to have listened to him at all.

He tapped someone only to widened his eyes when he saw his hand go through them.

"What the hell is going on?" Jolinar looked at the crowds again. His eyes fell on a group of children that were pointing and yelling "Look! Look!"

He turned and looked at their direction and sighed in relief. There was Ausar and Enki and a couple of other people with them with swords at their sides. Jolinar recognized them all. They were all part of the small non-related family that Jolinar got accustomed to.

Ausar was at the right side of the group, looking grim and impassive. In fact the whole group looked grim and impassive. All of them looked as if they were all recently in a battle.

Jolinar heard a woman in the crowd around him whisper to a child, "Go and find the Lokik. Tell her that they've come and that they are in need of healing." The child nodded and ran off. Jolinar knew the woman but didn't know her name. He barely interacted with her when he was in the village.

Jolinar walked towards Ausar worryingly. "Are you ok dad?" But Ausar paid no attention to him, he just looked straight ahead. "Hello! Isn't anyone paying attention me?" Jolinar began to poke Ausar -That annoyed Ausar to no end- but failed to actually touch him. "So they can't hear or see me. Damn."

Jolinar had no choice but to follow them. Enki didn't even pick up his scent. He followed them to a small dome house. In the porch was an old, stern looking dark lady.

"Just the person I was looking for." The old lady said. She walked to Ausar and inspected his wounds with her dark hands. "So the old snake found you eh? Should've known." She let go of him and went Enki, inspecting his wounds. "He wouldn't even spare innocent dogs either." She shook her head, "Such cruelty." She walked to her dome house and looked back at the group of people. "Well? Come in all of ya's. I'm not getting any younger." Everyone went inside.

Jolinar smirked. The old lady -Lokik was her name- was his role model. Cold yet sweet to those close to her. She held power like as if it were a cloak. Jolinar went inside, still smirking, and looked around. It was the same as when he left it.

The floor was bare, no carpet on top of it. There were blankets all over the floor, they were for injured people to be placed upon. There were shelves placed upon the walls, containers holding herbs were placed there. Across from him were two rooms, a curtain was used as a door. Jolinar stopped and frowned. He looked around again, seeing if anything was amiss. Something was nagging him. He couldn't place his finger on it.

"Sit down all of ya's." Lokik grabbed two containers, "Some of those wounds are severe. I see broken bones and bleeding. If you desire to live, Sit down." she said sternly. Everyone quickly sat down. Jolinar grinned. There was an old saying here: Never and I mean NEVER keep a healer waiting, not unless you want to face the consequences. Jolinar shivered. Oh he knew that saying alright. He squirmed at the memory when he disobeyed Lokik, only to be given the dreaded medicine.

He didn't know if it was the medicine or the food that made him sick.

He watched as Lokik healed everyone. Lokik would place her hand on a person and breathed. She breathed as if she were breathing life into the person. Jolinar saw as Lokik healed a person with a broken arm and watched as the person slumped relaxingly. The ones who just had cuts were given medicine and bandages.

Jolinar thought of something. Lokik was a mage as well, maybe she can feel him. Jolinar came close to Lokik's ear, "Lokik? Can you hear me?" Lokik gave no sign of noticing. "Well it was a worth a try." Jolinar muttered to himself. He had no idea how he got here and how to interact with anyone. And why couldn't Ausar see him? Ausar had The Sight, surely he can see him if this was magic related.

"I need to talk to you." Lokik came up to Ausar. Ausar nodded and got up, the two of them going into one of the rooms across the hallway. Jolinar frowned. What did Lokik wanted to say if she didn't want anybody to hear? Jolianr followed them, knowing that there were sounding spells that stopped eavesdroppers to listen.

It was pointless. Even though nobody can see or hear him apparently the spells did have an affect to him.

Jolinar sat down to think. What was going on here? One moment he was in Domino City, asleep in his father's body, and now he was here, back in the Village of Traders. It was like he was in a dream-

That was it! This was dream!

Jolinar was tempted to laugh at his ignorance.

"Of course this is a dream! A hallucination!" !(1) Now he knew why he was back in the Village of Traders. This was just a dream. But that still didn't explain why he couldn't interact with anyone. Didn't dreams look all confusing anyway? This wasn't confusing. He could see everything fine.

"WHAT!" Jolinar jumped when he heard Ausar scream despite the sounding spells that were placed.

Jolinar got up when he saw Ausar swipe the curtain and leave. Enki got up from the floor and looked at Ausar worryingly as he paced around. He had this angry look on his face. He turned and looked at Lokik, who also left the room and looked at him expressionless.

"Why wasn't I told of this?" Jolinar quickly put his fingers in his ears. And they say he was loud!

"We didn't know of this either until a couple of weeks ago."

"And you didn't bother to send a message to me?"

Lokik straightened. Her brown eyes turned cold and her face was impassive. "If we told of you this before, you would've turned back and the snake's goons would've captured you with your mind occupied." Lokik spoke calmly. "You would've been an easy target for the snake."

Ausar paced around again. "Where is he?"

Lokik crossed her arms angrily, "I won't tell you until you calm down."

Jolinar wanted to cheer. Lokik was the only one who can make Ausar bow down.

Jolinar watched as Ausar took deep breaths, trying to decrease his anger. Enki came to Ausar, poking him with is nose and whimpering. After a few seconds, Ausar stopped breathing deeply and was clam again.

"Where is he?"

"Are you calmed down now?" Lokik was still firm.

"I'm using up day's my patience right now."

Jolianr laughed. That was Lokik's line!

Lokik just stared at him blankly.

Ausar sighed and paced around again. Jolinar looked at the scene before him. This seem to familiar to him. Like deja vu.

"So where is he?" Ausar stopped pacing and turned to Lokik.

Lokik looked at him a final time and went to tend another person that came in with a broken arm. "He went to the market to get more herbs. He'll be here shortly." She looked at Ausar. "Do you want to take a seat?" but Ausar didn't listen. He kept on pacing.

"Jeez. One day you're going to bore a hole on the ground if you keep on walking like that." Jolinar commented. Jolinar was about to leave, nothing was going on, but stopped when he saw a newcomer come in. It was him!

At the door entrance was another Jolinar.

The look alike came in, ignoring the patients and went straight to Lokik. "Sorry I took so long." the look alike placed bag that he held in his hands on one of the shelves. "There were a lot of people today and it took forever to get out." Lokik just nodded, not looking up.

"Blue eyes." Jolinar and the look alike looked at Lokik. "There's someone I want you to meet." The look alike looked at the group around him confusingly. "No. Not them. Him." Lokik pointed at Ausar.

This is a memory! Jolinar now understood. He was in one of Ausar's memories! He remembered now, how he first heard the news that this stranger was his father. Jolinar sighed with relief. For a moment there, he thought that this was Aron's doing.

"Hello." The look alike said politely to Ausar. Ausar just nodded his head, his face cautious. "I'm Blue Eyes. What's yours?" (2)

Ausar raised an eyebrow at Lokik. "Blue eyes?"

Lokik just shrugged. "I didn't have a name for him. When I found out-" She just shook her head, he white hair dancing, "He wouldn't respond to anything else."

Ausar nodded and looked at Jolinar's look alike again. "I'm Ausar Marduk." Enki barked. The people around them jumped at the loud bark. Enki wanted to be introduced as well! "And this little animal is Enki."

Jolinar raised an eyebrow when he heard himself laugh. "He's not little!" Jolinar winced. Man he sounded like a little child! "He looks more like a little bear!" Enki, by some unknown power, understood and began to stand on his hind legs. Standing like that, he really looked like a bear at the stretched imagination.

"Blue Eyes." Lokik looked at Blue Eyes calmly. "Please come inside the room please. I have something to tell you." Jolinar watched as his look alike gulp.

"It wasn't me!" Blue eyes put his hands up defensibly. "I swear to Fate that it wasn't me who dyed the old witch's hair! I-" Blue Eyes stopped as Lokik put her hand up.

"Enough!" Jolinar felt shivers down his spine as Lokik screeched. In fact, everyone in the room felt that shiver too. "I'm not accusing you of anything. We just need to talk. And what was that about dying Lola's hair?"

"Nothing." Blue Eyes said quickly. Lokik just looked at him suspiciously before leaving into the room. Blue Eyes looked at Ausar before following Lokik to the room. Ausar narrowed his eyes and followed through.

Jolinar took a step forward and stopped. The whole room was fading into darkness.

He was waking up.

000000000OOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Jolinar woke up at the blinding rays of sun that hit his face. Jolinar opened his eyes and groaned.

"Go away." He put the blanket on top of him, trying in a vain attempt to block the light. Reluctantly, after twenty seconds, he got up, swaying as the first waves of dizziness hit him. He heard Ausar's bed creak next door. Jolinar sighed and left his room.

Time to confront Ausar's whining about school.

0000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

"I hate this."

Ausar was going to school yet again. They still have not learned how to switch back into themselves.

"Can you stop grumbling?" Jolinar glared at Ausar, which was kind of ironic when he was just glaring at himself. "You're making me look like a child." Ausar just waved him off. He put on Jolianr's backpack and dusted off any dust on the uniform.

"You remember how to do algebra?" Ausar nodded. Instead of searching a solution to this problem they spent the whole after noon trying to get Ausar to learn how to do algebra.

It was a complete waste of time! Ausar thought grumpily as he found his keys.

It was time well spent. Jolinar looked back at the book he was researching.

Jolinar ruffled through the book frustratingly. "Why can't we just stab ourselves with the knife? Maybe we'll switch back into our normal selves."

"Because," Ausar double checked his wrists where he concealed his daggers. "Aron probably thought of the possibility that the shadow creature might fail and we might thought of stabbing ourselves again to see if that might be the solution." He looked outside the window. It was raining again. "Stabbing ourselves might give the results we don't want. Besides, shadow creature weapons are known to have devastating results if used twice." Reaching the door handle, he waved at Jolinar. "Have fun researching!" he said sarcastically with an evil smirk.

Jolinar waved and gave an evil smirk of his own. "Have fun at school!" Jolinar laughed when he saw Ausar's downcast face. Enki barked a good bye and looked back at the T.V screen where the cartoon Ed, Edd 'n Eddy were on.

"That stuff will rot your brains out." Jolinar told Enki. But Enki wasn't listening. He was too busy watching cartoons!

Jolinar sighed and went back to the book in front of him. He hoped he find the solution soon because his eyes were killing him with all this light from the spells around him.

Jolinar grunted as he got up. He walked to the windowsill and closed his eyes. He made a small thump noise as his head hit the window glass. He looked outside and saw people -families- walking. He saw sadly as children faces glowed happily as they ran or held hands with their moms and dads. He watched the proud faces of their parents as they walked to the school or the school bus.

There was one child that made him close his eyes. There was a small boy, maybe five or ten. He had raven black hair and was being chased by another kid who could be his brother.

The child looked like a young Mokuba.

Jolinar sighed as he remembered another dream he had last night.

000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo

Jolinar felt cold.

It was so cold that he could see his breath.

"Hello?" Jolinar walked around, hugging himself. He felt like a lost child who lost his mom and dad. "Is anyone here?"

"I am. And so are you."

Jolinar looked up and caught his breath when he saw who it was.

It was him! (3).

It looked like him, but then it didn't.

Jolinar shivered when he saw those cold blue eyes glare at him. The person in front of him gave an aura of power and dominance. The person in front of him wore a white trench coat that flared behind him and had black long sleeved shirt and black leather pants. (4) There were silver buckles on his arms that Jolinar owned. When Jolinar looked closely at the person's chest, he noticed a card like necklace.

Just like his.

"Why are you here?" The person in front of him demanded.

"I don't know."

"Why are you here? Why aren't you with your little brother?"

"Little brother?" Jolinar looked around at the darkness. He wanted to get out of here! "Who are you? Are you me?" He asked the person.

The look alike ignored the question. "You're so pathetic. Just like the mutt."

Jolinar snapped. "I am nothing like that puppy!"

The look alike smirked. "Really? Are you sure? Look at yourself. You're pathetic. No memory. How can you place yourself in the world?"

Jolinar growled. "Who are you to say where I belong and where I don't! What about you? What are you?"

"You broke your promise to your brother." The look alike looked at Jolinar with hate. "You promised that you will always s protect him. Why aren't you with him?" The look alike literally shouted.

"I don't have a brother." Jolinar stated confidently. Jolinar gasped when he felt a pain in his chest. He looked up at the look alike and looked away. There was pure hatred inside them. He closed his eyes and opened them again. The look alike was gone, but Mokuba took his place, flowers in hands.

"Mokuba? What are you doing here? How did- -Are you ok?" Jolinar looked at Mokuba worryingly when he saw the puffy red eyes,

"Why aren't you home Jolinar?'" Mokuba's eyes were filled with tears. "Where were you when I cried for you? Where you when I woke up crying with nobody to comfort me?"

"Mokuba I-"

"NO!" Mokuba looked at him angry. "Where were you? Didn't you hear me cry out for you? Didn't you hear me mourn for you when I thought you were dead? Didn't you hear me cry for my big brother? Why aren't you home? Why did you run away? I thought you were dead!" Mokuba threw the flowers on the floor. "You said that you will always be there for me. You promised! Well then where were you when I needed you? Huh! Where were you when I cried myself to sleep? You left me all alone!"

Jolinar looked at Mokuba with wide eyes. Those words cut him like knives. "Mokuba-"

"Why did you leave me? Why did you break your promise? Why are you leaving me? Is it because you have a father now? You don't need me any more? Is that why you won't come back home?"

"No Mokuba. That's not it!" Those words came out on their own accord. Jolinar felt himself blurt out words that he didn't think. "I couldn't come home. I couldn't remember anything. Please, you must believe me…little brother."

"Liar!" Mokuba glared at him intensely that Jolinar looked away. "How can you say that? You always had something to remind me by." He pointed at the card necklace around Jolinar's neck. "My brother always kept that safe. My brother would never forget me. It took me a long time-" Mokuba looked down and stared at the ground sadly "-To accept,…that my brother is dead." Mokuba said the last part viciously.

"Mokuba I am not dead!" Jolinar ran to Mokuba and hugged him. "I'm not dead. I'm right here. I've been alive. I'm home now. Please Mokuba, it was Fate's decision to take me away." Jolinar felt Mokuba stiffen. To Jolinar's shock and horror, Mokuba pushed him away.

"You're not my brother. My brother doesn't believe in Fate." Mokuba turned and walked away. He stopped and looked back at Jolinar. "My brother's dead. He disappeared seven months ago. He died when you appeared." and with that he looked away and kept on walking towards the darkness.

Jolinar felt himself break down when he heard those words. "Mokuba please." Jolinar fell to his knees. "Please, help me remember."

"Help me remember who I once was. Help me remember who I am."

000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Jolinar opened his eyes when he heard Enki whine.

Enki looked up at him with concern. Enki noticed that Jolinar hasn't moved at all for some time. "Don't worry Enki. I'm ok." Enki gripped his shirt and tugged, guiding him towards the dreadful books.

Jolinar groaned and flipped through the pages. He looked through them boringly when a page popped up. Jolinar looked at the page carefully and grinned.

This was it! On the page was a picture of the shadow creature's dagger. "I found it Enki." His eyes quickly skimmed through the words, reading quickly so he can be him again. Jolinar grimaced when he read the warning label.

Warning:

If stabbed DO NOT stab each other for a reverse affect. Consequences are that both spirits will go back into their rightful bodies but will contain a poison that will eventually kill both. Shadow dagger is useless once used.

If stabbed, you must take blood from both victims and place the blood on dagger. This action does not need more than one person.

Jolinar nodded. So this was going to be simple then. Getting Ausar's blood will be easy, but getting his own blood…

Jolinar thought really hard. Where can he get a sample of his blood right here, right now? He thought back of two days ago. He swiped off the blood off the injury he got from the shadow creature from a rag that he forgot to throw away. That was something.

Jolinar quickly went upstairs and got the bloody rag -Boy did he bleed a lot that day!-. He went back downstairs and went to the kitchen to get a knife. Jolinar took a quick swipe on the skin for a dribble of blood. He took the bloody rag and swiped the blood, hoping that the liquid will wet the dry blood on the rag so the dagger can get some blood.

He went back to the living room and read the instructions again. He hesitated as he drew the dagger and rag together. "I'm allowed to do this right?" He asked Enki. Enki made a questionably noise, like a "I don't know." "I'm getting good at this right?" He asked himself. He remembered his first time doing something like this. He ended up a child! But he was only a beginner! He's gained some experience since then. Although Ausar forbidden him to do any of this stuff again.

Jolinar shrugged. Ah well. "Ausar will forgive me right Enki?" He went to Enki for support. Enki looked away, as in a "No comment."

Jolinar went ahead anyway. He swiped the rag on the dagger, smearing the dagger with blood. "Now what?" Jolinar waited for something to happened. He looked down. "Nope. Still me."

Jolinar was about to give up, -this was hopeless!- until The Sight made his eyes burn with pain when he looked at the dagger. The dagger vibrated violently, so violently that Jolinar let go of it. Enki growled at the dagger. The dagger jumped in midair and fell to the floor, the tip of it embedding itself on the floor.

Jolinar looked away from the dagger. The power it emitted was hurting his eyes. Jolinar risked a peak at the dagger and immediately looked away. The earth seemed to tremble and the blood on the dagger disappeared.

Then, the earthquake stopped.

The light emitting from the dagger dulled and Jolinar can see again.

"What happened--Oof!" Jolinar was thrown back by a shock wave coming from the dagger, throwing him against the wall. Jolinar gasped before he passed out, feeling cold and empty.

The shock wave that hit him continued on into the city. TV's and computers turned on and off. Radio signals were lost. Animals screeched when the shock wave moved passed them. Trees trembled as if winds were against them and telephone calls were cut off.

0000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

"What did Jolinar say? Volume equals length times width times height? Yeah that's it. It makes sense." Ausar bit the pencil in deep thought. Jolinar explained this to him before. Why couldn't he get it! Ausar pulled his hair angrily. He hit his head on the desk.

Joey jumped when he heard the thump. He looked at Asuar questionably. "Hey Jolly, are you ok there buddy?"

"No." Ausar grumbled. He glared at the paper in front of him. "This stupid thing is mocking me."

"Yeah. It mocks all of us. Say uh…do you got the answer to number six?"

Ausar glared Joey, ready to give him a huge lecture on cheating, when the earth began to tremble.

"Eeh! Hey what's going on here?" Joey asked.

"Everybody under the desks!" The teacher yelled. Some girls yelled as they sought for shelter underneath their desks.

Ausar copied everyone and sat underneath his chair with some difficulty considering Jolinar's height.

"We're gonna die!" some random dude yelled.

Ausar shook his head at the comment. He heard students whimper and saw others looking at the ceiling with fear, fear that it would suddenly collapse on them.

The earthquake continued for some time before it stopped abruptly.

"Is it over?"

"I-I think so."

Ausar and the rest of the class noticed that the T.V in their room turned on and off. They heard dogs bark and howl and cats and birds screech. The class all got up from their shelter and looked around making sure that everyone was ok.

"Everyone alright?" Tristan yelled.

There were murmurs of "I'm ok." and "Fine."

"Pretty good here. Nobody -ow!" Ausar felt himself be lifted up and thrown back, hitting two desks behinds him painfully. He felt his breath knocked out of him before he blacked out.

"Hey Jolinar, are you alright?" Yugi asked with concern. He looked at the others. "I think he's passing out…" That was the last Ausar heard.

0000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Ausar groaned as he opened his eyes. Light attacked his eyes and Ausar quickly shut his eyes. He heard a whimper beside him and felt his cheek being licked. Ausar moved his head to his right and saw Enki's big eyes looking worryingly at him.

"Enki?"

Enki heard him and barked.

Ausar looked straight up and opened his eyes little by little, getting accustomed to the light. He got up quickly when he noticed where he was.

"How did I get here? Enki?" Enki understood the question and went to the book that held the solution. He barked and touched the book with the tip of his nose. Ausar went to the book slowly and read the whole thing quickly.

"Did Jolinar do this?" He asked Enki. Enki nodded.

"You let him do this!" Ausar yelled. Enki seemed to wince. "How could you let him do this! You know what happened last time, he turned himself into a child! What if something horribly wrong occurred?" Enki made a noise as if saying "Calm down."

Ausar reread the page. "Did Jolinar do exactly what this said?" Enki nodded. "Everything here?" Enki nodded again. "Everything? He didn't skip anything? He followed the instructions? No mistakes?" Enki nodded.

Enki left the room and went upstairs to Jolinar's room. He grabbed a book, careful not to damage it with his teeth, and went back downstairs to Ausar. He placed the book before Ausar and began flipping through the pages with his nose. He seemed to have found his page of choice and barked at Ausar. Ausar picked up the book and Enki used one of his long claws to circle two words.

"Calm down?" Ausar looked at Enki, "You want me to calm down?" Enki nodded. Ausar sighed and closed the book. He looked at Enki, "You scare me when you do this. How on earth can you read?" Enki stood up proudly, giving an atmosphere of "I'm not telling you."

Ausar looked at the clock. "I have to get ready to pick up Jolinar. School's about over."

00000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

"Hey. I think he's coming to. His eyes are opening, see?"

"Are you sure? I think that was a twitch."

"No, he's opening his eyes."

"Sorry Yuge, but I think Joey is right. That was a twitch."

Jolinar heard Tristan said. Jolinar cracked an eye open and groaned. He closed his eyes when he saw light.

"I think he just groaned." He heard Tea comment.

"Ha! I told you he was coming to." He heard Yugi say.

"Alright jeez! Sorry." Joey grumbled.

"You really ought to listen to the others mutt." Jolinar mumbled. "It benefits to listen to someone smarter than you."

"He's alright, alright." Joey grumbled. "If he can make an insult then he can do anything. And to think I was being such a good friend and was worried about you."

"Heh." Jolinar got up with the support of his elbows slowly. "Where am I?" He looked around. Yugi, Tea, Tristan and Joey were around him. He noticed that he was lying on a bed.

"You're at the nurse's office." Tea answered him. "You were knocked out by a blow to your head."

"School?" Jolinar messaged his temple. He was having a headache. "How did I get here?"

"We carried you here man." Joey thought that Jolinar was asking how he got to the nurses office. "Seriously Jolly, you ought to eat more. You're as light as a feather."

"That's because I don't have an appetite like yours mutt. Some of us here actually eat like a normal human being unlike yourself." Jolinar said as he got off the bed.

"Hey! You're just jealous that I have a fast metabolism."

The others groaned. "Five seconds just passed and they've started to argue like little children." Tea groaned.

"Whatever." Jolinar replied. He dusted off imaginary dust before asking, "How long was I out?"

"Nearly the whole day." Yugi said. He pointed at a chair that had paper work on it. "We came here to leave your work and checking if you've awaken yet."

"Gee thanks." Jolinar said sarcastically. "How much time do we have left till school is over?"

"Just five minutes."

"Great. I don't feel like doing any work." Jolinar grabbed his stuff and signed the sheet on the Nurse's table. "Thanks." He told the nurse. The nurse nodded. He left the room and went to the exit doors, waiting for the bell to ring.

"Hey! What about us?" Joey asked.

"What about you?" Jolinar asked.

"Where's our thanks? We had to bring your homework and stuff."

"And for that you want gratitude?"

"Well yeah." Tea said. "Show some gratitude."

Jolinar was about to say something when his stomach began to grumble. Jolinar blushed in embarrassment when that happened. "Heh. Guess I'm hungry."

"How about you come over today?" Yugi asked. "You know, just hang over. We got lots of food."

"Yeah, food that wasn't eaten by someone the other day." Tristan said, looking at Joey. Joey just grinned sheepishly.

"I don't know." Jolinar said. "I got to ask dad."

"Do you have to ask your father for permission for everything?" Joey asked.

"Well, yeah. He's very cautious. Not really a people person." Jolinar shifted his book bag nervously.

"Well go ask him. If he says yes, tell him we'll be going over to Mokuba's." Yugi hinted.

Jolinar winced when he heard Mokuba's name, bringing back the dream. "I'll ask. But I'm not sure if dad will say yes."

The bell rung and they all went through the doors. "Look! There he is." Yugi pointed at Ausar and Enki.

Ausar came towards them when he noticed them. Enki followed, his tail wagging in happiness when he saw Jolinar safe and sound.

"Are you alright?" Ausar asked when he reached Jolinar. "Nothing wrong? No missing bones? Everything in one piece?"

Jolinar just waved him off, "I'm fine. I just got a bump at the back of my head."

"Hey Mr. Marduk. Is it ok if Jolinar can come over to Mokuba's house? Jolinar's really hungry, he didn't eat all day, so since we have lots of food Jolinar can come over. Also, it'll be good for Mokuba to meet new friends. You can come too if you want." Tea explained.

"I don't know." Ausar said.

"Please Mr. Marduk sir." Yugi said.

"Where's he going again?" Ausar asked.

"Mokuba's house."

"Please dad?" Jolinar asked. Ausar looked at Jolinar weirdly. Well that's the first time in a long time Jolinar said Please.

Ausar crossed his arms. "Fine."

"Awesome! I'll call Mokuba then." Tea said as she took out her cell phone.

As she called, the limo was coming. The limo stopped in front of them and Yugi opened the door. "Hop in." He then looked at Enki. "Um…Mr. Marduk. Our driver is allergic to dogs."

"So?"

"Enki can't come." Enki whined when he heard this.

Ausar turned to Enki. "You heard 'im Enki. Now scat." Enki seemed to have humped and left.

"Can he find his way home?" Yugi asked. He felt guilty about Enki.

"Yeah. He's a smart dog."

"Ok. Bye Mokuba!" Tea closed he cell phone. "Mokuba sounded excited when I told him that people are coming over." Tea said cheerfully. She turned to Ausar, who hasn't gone in the limo yet. "Is something wrong?"

"Is this thing safe?" He asked, poking the limo suspiciously.

Jolinar sighed. "Dad. Get in here." Ausar hesitantly went in the limo, not trusting it with his kid in there.

As soon as everyone got in, the limo began to move.

"It's moving." Ausar said hesitantly. Of course, he saw these things move but he never actually rode one. He wasn't used to horseless moving things. He didn't trust this thing one bit.

"Of course it's moving" Jolinar said annoyingly. The others looked confused. They didn't understand the language the two were talking in. Jolinar, seeing their confused fqaces, started to ask questions. "So, is Mokuba a cousin of yours?"

Yugi shook his head, "No. We're just fiends. We go to his house whenever we can, he gets lonely when he's home. I guess anybody would if they lived in a mansion with no family around."

Jolinar looked up. "He doesn't have a family? Not even a brother, a sister, or even an aunt or uncle?"

Yugi shook his head, "He had a brother though. It was Kaiba, but he disappeared seven months ago." Yugi sighed, "These last seven months Mokuba just hasn't been like himself." Jolianr winced. He was starting to feel guilty for some reason.

Joey began to make plans. "Once we get there, let's order pizza and duel-"

"What's pizza?" Ausar asked, interested in what they were about to do.

Joey and Tristan looked at him in horror. "You don't know what pizza is?" Tristan asked.

"No…" Jolinar and Ausar said at the same time.

"What kind of horrible place did you live in?" yelled Joey in horror.

"What was up with that earthquake?" said Tea, changing the topic.

"Yes. What was up with that?" Ausar looked at Jolinar. Jolinar just grinned. The limo finally stopped. In front of it was a gate with two guards. The guards opened the gate and the car went in.

Ausar's mouth dropped. 'That's…a house?" he asked, astonished. "That's a freaking palace for goodness sakes!" the car came to a stop and the others began to get our of the car.

They went in the house and Joey yelled "Mokuba! Mokuba we're here!"

There was a sound of somebody rushing down the stairs. Mokuba ran towards them and began talking. "What took you guys so long?" he practically yelled. "Was there another traffic jam?"

Tea chuckled, "No. Not really. This gentleman is Au-"

"Do not call me 'gentleman'." Ausar interrupted. "I work for a living."

"Well, this is Ausar Marduk. He's Jolinar's father."

Mokuba nodded his head. "Nice to meet you Mr. Marduk."

"Please. Call me Ausar. 'Mr. Marduk' makes me sound old."

"You are old." Jolinar muttered. Ausar just whacked him on the head. "Ow."

Mokuba laughed. "Alright then Ausar." Mokuba turned to the other's. "I already ordered pizza for you guys. Knowing Joey and Tristan, I ordered five boxes." Joey and Tristan ran to the kitchen, where the smell of pizza filled the air. The other's calmly went to the kitchen and grabbed their slice. Jolinar and Ausar looked at the pizza uncertainty.

"What's wrong?" Yugi, seeing their uncertainness, asked.

"We never really tasted this before." Jolinar said, poking his slice to make sure it wasn't alive.

"Taste it." said Mokuba, "You'll love it once you've taken a bite out of it."

Ausar hesitated before taking a bit out of the pizza. His eyes grew wide and he took another bite. "It's good." Jolinar took a bite, later to start eating more.

"Can't believe that nobody back home made this stuff yet." Jolinar took another bite.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Ausar said.

Jolinar ignored him. "We should take get the recipe and give it to one of the cooks back at Forest Village." Tristan and Joey began to have a contest on who can eat the most slices. Joey belched loudly.

"That was rude Joey! Where are your manner!" Tea scolded.

"In my stomach. Now that we're all here, how about a duel?" Jolinar and Ausar looked confused. "You got a deck?" Joey asked Jolinar. Jolinar shook his head. "Do you know how to duel?" Another shake of the head. "Have you ever heard the word duel monsters before?" Another no. Joey looked at them in horror then had a smile on his face. "Alrighty then, how about we teach you? Hey Mister- I mean Asuar, do you want to learn to duel? Even grown ups play this game."

Ausar shook his head. "I'll watch."

"Ok then. Hey Yugi, give Jolianr your deck."

"No way!" Yami took over and held his card protectively. "They're fragile."

"Um…ok. Tristan, why don't give your deck to Jolinar?"

"Sorry. I don't have them with me." Tristan leaned to Joey and whispered, "And don't even think of asking Tea, all she has are fairies."

"Oh yeah. Then how are we gonna teach Jolinar duel monsters if he doesn't have a deck?" Joey yelled.

"Jolinar can use my brother's deck." Mokuba said.

"Are you sure Mokuba?" Yami said. "You don't mind if he uses Kaiba's deck?"

Mokuba shook his head. "Jolinar looks a lot like my big brother. With the deck, it'll be as if Seto is here again." Mokuba went up the stairs and went downstairs quickly with a briefcase. He opened the briefcase and showed Jolinar the cards. "Pick any cards that you want."

"Hey get that card Jolinar! And that one too. Hey that's a dragon. Get that one." said Asuar, pointing to different type of cards.

"Can I pick my own?" Jolinar said annoyingly.

Ausar rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Sorry."

As if by instinct, Jolinar picked out his cards, including the three Blue Eyes White Dragons. Joey went to explain the rules to him and once Jolinar understood the rules they began to duel outside.

0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Joey's life points: 2800

Jolinar's life points: 1000

"I'll sacrifice your Buster Blader to bring Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Ausar watched as the black monster disappeared from Joey's side and watched as a giant white dragon appeared on the field on his son's side. It's only been two turns and Jolinar was losing.

"From what I see, you've got no monsters on your field so you're open for a direct attack. Go Blue Eyes White Dragon! White Lighting!" The dragon opened his mouth and lighting sprouted out of it, attacking Joey head on. Joey's life points went to zero.

"Wow. That was…fast." Tea said.

Tristan laughed. "You must be getting slow Joey! He beat you in just two turns!"

"I could've taken him in one turn only! I was going easy on him. And how was I suppose to know that he had the Blue Eyes white dragon?" Joey complained. "Let's have rematch. I can beat you this time."

Jolinar shrugged. "Sure. Why not."

00000000000OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

"I'll use the spell card Pot of greed." Jolinar took out two more cards. "And I'll summon Lord of Dragons." Lord of Dragons appeared on the field. "And I'll use a trap, Deal of Phantom. Now for every monster I have in my graveyard, my monster receives 100 attack points for each and every one. " The lord of dragons' power increased to 2100 points. "Now Lord of Dragons, attack Gearfreid the Iron Knight!" Everyone watched as Joey's monster was destroyed. "You're defenseless. Battle Ox, attack Joey's life points directly!" Joey's life points went to zero, losing the game.

"Jeez mutt. I've just started playing the game and I've won. Are you sure you're not an amateur?"

"Ah shut up Jolly. I'm just going easy on ya'" Joey looked away. He was lying.

"Sure mutt. Sure."

"Hey Jolinar." Yugi said. "Do you mind if I see the cards you picked?"

"Knock yourself out." Jolinar ejected the cards and gave them to Yugi. Yugi went through the cards, surprised at what he saw.

/Hey Yami. Take a look at the cards Jolinar chose./

"Hmm?" Ausar turned to Yugi, The Sight revealing to him the puzzle glowing for a while before dieing down. He looked at Yugi, who seemed…different. He watched as Yugi went through the cards again, his face filled with shock.

/These are Kaiba's cards./ Yami thought. It was true. The cards that Jolinar chose were the cards that Kaiba would've chose if he was here. "Jolinar. Are you sure you never dueled before?"

Jolinar nodded, although he blinked. A sign of a lie. "Positive." Thunder clapped in the sky and it began to rain. "We should get inside."

Everybody went back into the mansion, happy to get out of the rain. Joey shook his head like a dog, spraying every one with water.

"Urgh! Joey!" Tea scolded.

"Heh heh. Sorry."

"You should be." Ausar twisted his hair, trying to squeeze out the water.

"Man it's raining hard out there." Mokuba commented, looking outside the window. He turned to Ausar and Jolinar. "Do you want a tour of the house?" Before any of them could respond, Mokuba grabbed their hands and lead them through the mansion.

"This is the bathroom. This is the kitchen. And this is the second bathroom. And here's a guest room and another guestroom and another bathroom and our snack room and another guest room-"

"For Fate's sakes! How many bathrooms do you have in this house kid?" Ausar asked, looking at the fourth bathroom that they've passed.

Mokuba stopped and counted with his fingers. "one…three…five…six- six bathrooms!" He said.

"Why do you need that many bathrooms here?" Jolinar asked.

Mokuba just shrugged ."Our- I mean, my stepfather held many business parties with so many people that he probably made six bathrooms and guest rooms on purpose." He opened a door. "And this is my room." Jolinar and Ausar entered the room.

"This is pretty big." Ausar said., looking around. There was a bed with a table beside it with a photo on top. Some video games on the floor. A T.V. A game cube and a play station. A drawer and a small refrigerator. A book shelf filled with books, some chairs and a big stereo with a lot room to spare. "What's this?" Ausar muttered. He picked up the photo on top of the table besides the bed. It was a photo of Mokuba smiling happily at the camera with his arms around his brother, who was sitting on a chair, a small smile on his face. But his brother…

Ausar turned to Jolinar, who was checking out the books on the bookshelf. He didn't notice the photo yet. Ausar turned back to the photo again.

He looks exactly like Jolinar. But how? Ausar put down the photo and pretended to look around. Is it possible? No. it can't be. But what if…what if Jolinar really is this Kaiba person? What if Jolinar is Mokuba's missing brother? Yugi said that Mokuba's brother disappeared seven moths ago. Jolinar was found at the same time.

While Ausar was pondering on this, Mokuba was thinking the same thing.

Yugi said that Jolinar has amnesia. Jolinar looks a lot like my big brother. Is Jolinar really Seto? He looked at Jolinar who looked at the video games. Big brother. Where are you?

Jolinar looked around the room with curiosity. This was a really big room. He sat on the bed. He noticed the picture beside him and looked at it with shock.

That's-that's me! How is-this can't be! He looked at Mokuba, who seemed to have blanked out. He was about to look back at the picture when something caught his eye. It was the card around Mokuba's neck.

That was when the visions hit him.

000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo

"Are you excited Seto?" The nurse holding his hand asked.

Jolinar felt himself nod. "Uh huh! I'm going to be a big brother!" He said cheerfully. He was in a chair, hearing a beep. Beep. Beep. On the next door.

He couldn't wait to be a big brother. He'll play and protect the kid. They'll play hide and seek together. And they can throw spit balls at each other! Now he won't be alone with that scary babysitter. He can't wait to see mommy with his new baby brother. He-

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

He wondered what that beep sound was. That means that is mommy's heart beat right? It means that she's alive.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Jolinar heard a cry an smiled. His brother was hear. But why was mommy's heart beat doing that?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

He heard the baby cry and heard doctors racing. What was going on. He looked up at the nurse and saw her pale. "What's going on?"

"N-nothing's going on. E-everything's alright." The nurse didn't sound very convincing. In an instant, Jolinar got up from the chair and went through the doors. He saw the doctor's holding his baby brother, but his mother was quiet.

"Mommy?"

"Somebody get that child out of here! He shouldn't see this!"

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"Mommy?" He yelled as a doctor grabbed him. "Mommy? Mommy why are you quiet? Why are you pale? Mommy? MOMMY WAKE UP!" He began to cry as he understood what was happening. He thrashed as the doctor tried to get him out. "Mommy don't leave me! Mommy- Mommy come back! Let me go! Mommy? Mommy what about Mokuba? You said you'll take care of him! Mommy!"

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

He heard the baby cry.

It's all your fault. He thought as he saw the doors close behind him. It's all your fault that mommy's gone.

0000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

"Seto. Why isn't daddy home?" Jolinar looked down and saw a small. Child. A small Mokuba. How was he going to explain to Mokuba that father was dead?

"He went to see mother Mokuba. He missed her so he decided to go with her."

"Is he coming back?"

Jolinar fought to keep his tears from falling. "No Mokuba." He had to be strong for the both of them. "No Mokuba. He won't. Mommy is lonely as well and wants to be with daddy. He's not coming back."

"But why won't daddy come home? Doesn't he love us?"

"He does Mokie. But Mommy is lonely and wants him to stay with her."

"Well mommy is mean then." Mokuba said sadly.

Jolinar snapped. "Don't ever say that again!" He shook Mokuba violently. "Don't ever say that again! Mommy isn't mean! She gave up her life for you! Don't ever say that again! If anything, we're the selfish ones! Mommy's been alone all these years with no one to love her. And so was dad! Don't ever say that again!"

"I'm-I'm sorry Seto." Mokuba said with fright. "I'm sorry. I won't ever say that again. Seto?" he looked at Jolinar. Jolinar couldn't be strong. He broke down and cry.

Who's going to take care of us? Jolinar thought. I can't.

0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo

"We're going to live here a while Mokie." Jolinar said. He felt his hand holding Mokuba's hand.

"It's all their fault." Mokuba said. He's grown and began to understand their situation. "They took all our money and threw us here."

Jolinar nodded. "Just know that I'm here Mokie ok? I'll never leave you. I'll always protect you. I promise." They began to walk to the building in front of him. How long will they be in this orphange?

000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

He had to win.

Jolinar looked at the chest board in front of him. Gozaburo was smirking.

He thinks I can't win. I got to win. I got to win for Mokuba. I don't know how much we can stand this place. Those bullies won't stop bothering him. This is my only chance to give him a good life. Even if it means turning my life into hell.

He moved a piece forward. Gozburo moved another.

Time passed and soon, Jolinar won.

"Yay Seto! You did it!"

Jolinar smiled. He turned to the man in front of him. "A deal's a deal. I won, so now you adopt us."

The man scowled. "Fine." he turned to the others. "Get the papers ready."

"Seto." Mokuba whispered. "I got a bad feeling."

So do I Mokuba. So do I.

0000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

Jolinar read and read until his eyes hurt. All this horrible studying! He was tempted to quit but he can't. This is for Mokuba.

"What is an equation?" The man asked.

"An equation…an equation is a set of numbers?" Jolinar said sheepishly. The teacher frowned. "I'm just a kid!" Jolinar said. "How do you expect me to know this stuff! What use is this to me anyhow? I'm already smarter than other students."

"That's not good enough." Gozaboro came in. "If you are going to be the heir of my company, you have to be the best."

"What if I don't want to be the best? What if I don't want your death bringing company?"

Gozaboro smirked. "Then I guess you don't want the best for your little brother."

Jolinar growled and went back studying. That snake!

000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

He watched as Exodia destroyed his dragons. How can this be? He saw his opponent speak but he couldn't hear a thing. How could he lose? He gasped. He felt something being ripped away. He looked ahead and saw Yugi's hand outstretched.

This isn't over.

0000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

"Pegasus." Jolinar said with hatred. He has to win this duel. If he doesn't, Mokuba's soul will be trapped forever.

Card after card he played. Strategy after strategy. But in the end, Pegasus always seemed to win. It's as if he knows what his next cards are. Jolinar watched in horror as the clown was destroyed, along with his life points.

I failed. Jolinar thought. I failed to keep my promise to Mokuba. He saw Pegasus's eye glow and then there was darkness.

I'm sorry Mokuba.

0000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Vision after vision , Jolinar felt more pain. He saw duels with gaps in between. He saw Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and the mutt. He saw dangers and he saw defeat.

Mokuba heard a hiss and looked at Jolinar bending over, his hands on his head. He looked as if he were in pain. "Jolinar! Are you alright?"

Ausar turned and saw Jolinar in pain as well. "Jolinar! What's wrong?"

But Jolinar didn't seem to hear.

"Guys!" Mokuba yelled. Ausar footsteps running up the stairs. He saw the others come in the room.

"I'll call the hospital." Tea said.

"No!" Jolinar hissed. He opened an eye and looked at them. "No hospital. I just need to rest. I want to go home." He said the last part to Ausar.

Ausar nodded. "Mokuba. Can we get a ride home? Jolinar just needs some rest."

"Are you sure?" Mokuba said worryingly. "He looks like he's in pain."

"I…just have a head…ache." Jolinar said with difficulty. Jolinar tried to get up, but another bomb of visions hit. "Aah!"

"Please." Ausar said pleadingly. "We just need to go home."

"O-Ok." Mokuba ran out the room and went to get a ride ready. Mokuba ran to a butler downstairs.. "Get the limo ready. Quick!" He said when he saw him hesitate. He looked up and saw Ausar and Joey helping Jolinar down the stairs. "The limo's getting ready."

"Thank you." Ausar said gratefully. He looked at Jolinar worryingly, who seemed to have lost conscience. Mokuba held the limo door open while Ausar and Joey put Jolinar in. Mokuba was about to leave when Jolinar suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Mo-Mokuba." Jolianr said tiredly. He looked at him, his blue eyes glassy.

"Please, help me remember. Help me remember who I once was. Help me remember who I am." Jolinar said that so quietly that only Mokuba heard that. Ausar got in the limo and Mokuba closed the door, dazed. The limo began to move and left.

1. How Like Seto Kaiba he sounds.

2. He's named Blue Eyes because when Lokik first met him, he didn't have anme. Since she didn't know his name, she dubbed him 'Blue Eyes'. Makes sense?

3. How many times have I used this line? A lot probably.

4. Those pants look like leather to me.

Dark Wolf: I hope that this was worth it because my eyes are burning and my hands hurt. You guys, consider yourselves happy. My guilty conscience attacked me andI kept on writing up to 24 pages!

If you have time, can you leave a review please? I feel extremely guilty about not updateing for a long time. I'll feel a lot better.

Thanks for reading this.
