Ok so I'm gonna switch this a bit. It was like… 1:02 AM when I began writing this, so needless to say I'm pretty tired. If you guys didn't notice last chapter, the ending was a bit forced. It's because I can't think of anything good for Yami to do, but I have an idea starting this chapter. Every other chapter I switch between who I'm writing about. This chapter was all about Yami and Yugi, this chapter? You'll need to read to know. Next chapter? Maybe Yugi and Joey…? I don't know XD

So without further delay, I present the tired beginning of chapter four! XD And to show my dedication to this story, I've already planned out most of the things that are going to happen in it. And as you've seen there are going to be Yugi x Jounouchi moments and I was wondering if you guys would be overly opposed to a Yugi x Jou lemon in here as well. If not, then I'll just start a different story. I don't mind.

This chapter is all about Kaiba and his happenings in the last three years, so no problems I hope. Next chapter I don't know exactly what's going to happen because I honest didn't know what was happening with it.


Kaiba felt tired. Three years ago, even if he'd gone a week without sleep, he wouldn't have felt this tired. He was irritable because he was tired, and it aggravated him more when he couldn't figure out why he was so damn tired. It wasn't lack of sleep; it wasn't him over working himself. It was something else completely. He felt lost; like he wasn't even there, but simply an observer who desperately needed a sleep break, but suffered from horrid insomnia.

He felt a hand on his should and he jerked to look at the person he hadn't even heard enter his chamber. "Nii-sama… You should get some sleep. You've been staring at the same screen for over an hour." Mokuba, now nearly as tall as Seto himself, stood behind his older brother, hoping the man would simply comply with his wishes. He knew his brother would lie down and as soon as Mokuba left the room and was down the hall, the blue eyed male would be back at his computer like a vulture to a corpse in the middle of the dessert.

"Yeah, maybe you're right Mokuba…" Kaiba stated, shocking the longer haired male. Normally his brother just went to bed; the fact that he actually acknowledged that he was right had Mokuba worried.

I'm going to talk to Yugi tomorrow about it; maybe he'll know what to do. Mokuba smiled though. "Sleep well, Nii-sama," he said making sure to leave the door open a little so he'd see if, when he was down the hall, Kaiba would actually stay in bed.

Kaiba sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose in between his eyes. He could feel the headache creeping up on him and it would be painful. Why am I feeling like this? I feel like I'm at a complete loss. I don't even know who I am anymore. Kaiba growled quietly as he stood and stripped from his clothing and slipped into the covers, not bothering to get into anything other than his boxers.

Grabbing the light switch remote, Kaiba turned off his lights, the feeling of having a headache easing out a little. His head rested on a cool pillow while his body was caressed with silken sheets trying to make him relax. They helped a little, but his mind wouldn't cooperate with him and he growled, tensing at trying to relax enough to sleep. He never realized how frustrating sleep could be.

I should have known though. He mentally hissed. Nothing's ever easy. Plus why should I want to sleep? There's so much work to be done in the time I'm wasting just lying here in this bed. Kaiba couldn't get up though. He was in that comfort zone where he couldn't move, but couldn't quite sleep just yet.

"Hello Seto. It's been a long time since we last talked." A voice called from his bedroom doorway. "I believe the reason you've been avoiding sleep and working yourself to the point of passing out so you have no dreams is because you're deathly afraid of the nightmares that come at night."

Kaiba glared at this person, a mirror image of himself, only much smaller. "Look I don't know who you think you are, but Seto Kaiba isn't afraid of nightmares." He wasn't happy about the reappearing shadow which never seemed to really go away.

"Honestly… do you hear yourself talk? So what you're trying to tell me is that you're not afraid of your horrid dreams? The nightmares of your adoptive father, the nightmares of losing Mokuba forever when he finally doesn't need you anymore; it doesn't bother you?" The voice questioned getting closer. "You're an idiot if you think I believe that. I am you, Seto. I'm the childish side of you, you never let out except when you have to such as now. I'm the part of you that you tried to get rid of so Mokuba could live a carefree life." The younger version of Seto stated.

"Well? What do you want? I want you to go away as soon as possible and the only way you'll do that is if I give you what you want." Kaiba hissed at the younger version of himself. He was only giving into this annoying brat because it was himself and if he knew himself as well as he thought he did, then this kid would stop at nothing to get exactly what he wanted.

Seto smiled. "I want to be let out to have fun. But you have to let me. I don't want to the entire time, but every once in a while for sure." He stated, crossing his arms defiantly. "And it's either you let me, or I make you; your choice." Seto sat on the bed and the blankets and mattress actually moved as though he was really sitting there.

Kaiba shook his head. "Out of the question. No. Absolutely not." There was no way he was going to allow some little kid, himself or not, take control of his body.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Oh? And just why not? I'll act just like you, only instead of looking for a fight or work, I'll be looking for fun and I'll take Mokuba to have fun. I know he'll enjoy the fact I want to have fun with him instead of just watching him have fun." He shook his head. "You hardly even talk to Mokie anymore. He deserves a better you and you better start giving that to him. Or else I will." Seto said disappearing as did the rumples on Kaiba's blanket where the kid was sitting.

Kaiba sat up and put his head in his hands. He was beginning to get a headache. "Damn hallucinations." He grumbled as he rubbed his temples. "I wish they would just stop, they're getting entirely too real for my liking." There was a voice in his head saying he should sleep more and it would help, but he chose to ignore it.

There were a few things nagging at him though. One was, he hadn't even seen Mokuba in a few days. He didn't fear him being kidnapped, Mokuba was big enough to make sure that didn't happen anymore, but it tore at him that not only did he not notice until just that moment, but Mokuba didn't tell him where he was.

Another nagging in his head was that, maybe, just maybe, the smaller version of him had been right about all he'd said. Of course, it was him, just much smaller, cuter and less intimidating, so he shouldn't have been surprised.

As for now, it was too much for the spent Kaiba to handle in his mind. He'd talk to Mokuba about it tomorrow. He lay back down with an inaudible yawn and closed his eyes. Don't worry Mokie, I'll do what I can to make you happy. He thought before drifting into a deep sleep.
