Epilogue: Sparks

Seto Kaiba slowly opened his eyes. He was back in his mansion, lying underneath the soft, white sheets of his bed. For some reason, Mokuba was there too, sleeping in a chair pulled up next to the bed.

Kaiba sat up and blinked. "Strange…I don't remember coming in here last night…" he murmured.

Upon hearing his brother, Mokuba opened his eyes. He grinned, jumped up, and embraced his older brother. "Seto! You're awake!"

Kaiba stared at him. "Um, Mokuba, what are you doing in here?"

Mokuba blinked. "You don't remember what happened, Seto?"

"What?"

"You passed out while we were going home last night. Our servants had to come out of the house and carry you inside."

"Passed out?" Kaiba repeated. He started to get out of the bed. "Why in the world would I have passed-"

Suddenly, while he tried to stand up, he felt a weak feeling come over him. He slammed down onto his knees and clutched at his chest, breathing heavily.

"Seto? Are you all right?" Mokuba cried, kneeling down beside him.

"I'm fine," he said. He slowly stood up. "I just need to wake myself up a bit, that's all."

Mokuba watched his brother as he walked over to his room's restroom and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He stared at the door sadly.

Suddenly, he noticed something sparkling on the doorknob. He walked over and gazed down at it. "Um, Seto?" Mokuba called through the door. "What's this sparkling stuff on the doorknob?"

"I don't know, Mokuba," Kaiba called back as he turned on the taps. He let cold water run over his hands, then splashed some of it onto his face. The weakness slowly started fading away.

As he reached out to turn the taps off, he noticed something. Glittery white sparkles were sitting on the taps. "What the…" he said.

All of a sudden, he saw tiny white sparks start flying out of his fingers. With a shock, he held his hands up to his face. "I'm hallucinating…" he murmured.

As though they were trying to tell him otherwise, the sparks blasted out at his face. "Aah!" he yelled out as the sparks stung him.

"Seto? Are you okay?" Mokuba called out. He started to turn the handle.

"DON'T COME IN HERE!" Kaiba yelled out, putting his back up against the door. He stared at his reflection in the mirror and realized with horror that his outline had started glowing white, and white light was shining out of his eyes.

"Seto, what's wrong?!" Mokuba yelled.

Kaiba stared at his reflection for a few more seconds. Finally, thinking that he could trust his little brother with something like this, he called out, "Mokuba, is the bedroom door closed?"

Mokuba looked. "Um, yes," he said.

"Is it locked?"

Mokuba ran over to door and turned the lock on the knob. "It is now," he said.

"Mokuba, I'm about to come out. Don't be scared, O.K.?"

Mokuba stared. "Scared of what?"

The bathroom door slowly opened. Kaiba walked out with his outline and eyes shining brightly and his hands shooting out white sparks like crazy.

Mokuba jumped backwards in shock. "Seto…what is that?" he barely managed to get out.

Kaiba looked down at his sparking hands. "I'm not quite sure…"

Yes, you are, Seto Kaiba, a voice suddenly said. You just don't want to admit it.

Kaiba looked wildly around his room and suddenly saw an orb of white light appear in one corner. The light widened and became an opening through which three shadowy figures stared out at him. Mokuba jumped and ran over to his brother, clutching onto his duster tightly.

"Who are you?" Kaiba yelled out.

We, Seto Kaiba, are the ones who are going to help you change your life…
