Chapter Five: Remembering

Kaiba went into the limo and rest his head on the seat. He saw Lily running out with tears in her eyes. "You're just like your step father, Seto Kaiba. And that is Not a compliment." Her voice echoed in his head.

Who was that girl? He thought. She was so foolish and discolored enough to duel me and thought she would win.

He smirked as he went into Kaiba Corp. He went into his office and looked outside the setting sun. He ran his fingers through his hair and noticed Lily's locket in his pocket. He pulled it out and examined it. It was shaped the same way of his and it had a clasp that opens. Raising an eyebrow, he pushed it in and watched it open. Kaiba's eyes grew because he saw a picture of him inside her locket.

She's an obsessed fan girl. No one has pictures of me when I was little. He thought bitterly.

He looked down at his own locket and pushed it opened. He saw the picture of Mokuba but he never noticed it was pushed up a little. He flipped through Mokuba's picture and saw it was a picture of Lily. He compared the two and realized it was it was the same picture. He heard a sharp knock at the door and he went to his desk and shoved her locket into the drawer, hoping it'll go away.

"Seto, can I come in?" Mokuba's voice asked.

"Yes Mokuba." Kaiba said as he looked out the window. Mokuba went into the office nervously.

"What is it?" Kaiba said in a bit of a tone.

"I was just wondering…" Mokuba said. "Why did you do that to Li… that girl who dueled you?"

"She was a weak duelist." Kaiba said in a bitter tone.

"Seto I'm worried." Mokuba said weakly.

"Why?" Kaiba asked.

"It's about you. Why aren't you the boy who was in the orphanage? The kind boy who was friends with…The girl you dueled today."

Kaiba gave Mokuba a look. "Mokuba, whoever I was in the past and whoever I dealt with in the past, friend or rival, means nothing now. Alright?"

Mokuba just nodded. Kaiba shook his head. "It's getting late. You better go to sleep." Mokuba walked to the door. "Good Night Mokie." Kaiba said.

Kaiba couldn't see but Mokuba smiling a little. "Good Night Seto." Mokuba closed the door.

Kaiba went to his computer to do more work for Kaiba Corp. He felt tired and dizzy for some reason. He passed out at 4:00am in the morning on his computer. He had a dream and he didn't have one in a long time. He was in rare street clothes (a white tee, jeans and sneakers) and he was watching his 8 year old self and Mokuba going into the orphanage. He tried yelling and trying to stop them but they couldn't see him. He followed them and looked around the small orphanage. He saw his 8 year old self tripped as he was going to be with Mokuba. He raised an eyebrow thinking he wasn't so coordinated. Then he saw a girl helping him up. He realized that was Lily, the girl who ran off crying yesterday. He did felt a current through his hand as well when they touched but he brushed it off. Scenes went by him. He noticed that a picture was taken of him and Lily and that kids made fun of her and Mokuba but he stood up for them. Did he feel something for her? Did he like her? Then that day came when he met Goziboro Kaiba. He couldn't see the interview so he was by where Lily and Mokuba were. They both look to the door hearing Goziboro screaming. Then they heard 8 year old Seto's kid voice saying he wasn't leaving without his brother and his best friend. At that moment, he turned to Lily as a faint smile went to her face. Goziboro came in and he yelled at Lily she was horrible and discolored. Kaiba knew he said those words to Lily yesterday, which was why she told him he was like his step father. Lily pulled Seto over and told him to go with him.

"Don't!"He yelled trying to get his past self to listen. "He'll put you through so much!"

"Please Seto. I want you and Mokie to have a family." Younger Lily said with a little bit sadness.

"Ok I will." Seto said. He hugged Lily.

Kaiba realized that after the chess match they were being adopted. He saw Mokuba hugging Lily saying she was the older sister he never had. Seto and Lily hugged longer. He then saw Lily ripped the picture of them and gave the part of her to him. Seto went into the car and he and Mokie waved at her. Lily, who had tears coming down, waved back. As the car drove away, Kaiba heard her voice cracking.

"Goodbye, Seto Kaiba. You will always be my best friend." He saw her sitting on the curb and sobbing.

He wanted to reach out to her but then he realizes he was in the car his younger self was in. He looked on the side of his younger self and saw tears running down.

"Lily will be my best friend." He held the locket he had to his chest. Then Goziboro came in.

"Seto are you crying?" He asked in a demanding voice.

"No sir." He replied.

"Listen, you better not show emotion. If you show one trace of it, you will wish you were back there with that discolored freak. Businessmen like me don't do that. If we did, we would be softies and we wouldn't be where we are today. So you never show emotion. That goes for both of you. Understand?"

"Yes sir." Seto and Mokuba replied.

They went inside the Kaiba manor. Kaiba looked on as he and Mokuba got separate rooms. The same night, Kaiba watched as his younger self went to the balcony.

"Lily is my best friend. And I swear we will meet again!" His younger voice had determination and sadness in it.

The dream ended as Kaiba woke with a start.

"Lily…" He whispered as he groaned slightly, pushing his bangs away from his face.

He sat up on his chair and looked out the window to see the sun rising. He rubbed his eyes and tried to do some more work but he couldn't concentrate without thinking about the memories he remembered.

A/N: Yay! Kaiba finally remembered Lily. But what will happen when he tries to confront her saying he does remember her?
