Why? Why is big brother acting like this? Why would he say such a thing like that? Mokuba stood and watched his brother duel. A look of anger on his face. Both Yugi and Kaiba were giving their all. Egyptian god against Egyptian god. Obelisk the tormentor against Slyther the sky dragon. Mokuba listened and watched. His brothers words echoing in his head.

"So once I beat you, I can forget the past for good. Thats why I'm here!" He announced, making a sweeping motion with his arm.

Mokuba's chest hurt, his eyes were wide and rimmed with tears. I never knew Seto felt so strongly about our past. I know things weren't easy back then, but we did have each other. Guess that wasn't good enough for him. He wants to forget everything! Including the person he used to be! But I liked Seto back then...He actually used to smile! But now...He wants to get rid of that smile...Forever. Seto needs to realize, that reaching the top, doesn't have to mean being miserable!

A single tear fell down his cheek. He tried to hold it in. No, don't cry! Seto always told you never to cry! It shows the world that you can't defend yourself! That your weak! But thats al he could do...All he could do was cry. He wasn't like his brother, not brave or bold. He had different feelings than him. Different emotions of passion and heart. He had not seen his brother smile for years. He only laughed when he felt victory, he never laughed at a joke or comment. He never even smiled on his days off at the office. Mokuba smiled at least five times a day. Whether it was at Roland dropping papers or at the people he met and talked to.

"I will defeat you Yugi! You can count on it!" Kaiba yelled across the stadium. The sudden burst brought Mokuba from his thoughts. He looked up at his brother with wet eyes. Moisture and tears continuing to fall. Was it me? Was it because I wasn't strong for you! Its not fair! You threw your personality out the window for me! To control Kaiba corp! Gozaburo didn't teach you to take down your opponents, he taught you to hate the world.

The duel went on. Insults were flung, speeches were preached. But the few words that Mokuba's caught, hurt the worst.

"In this world you don't need anyone! I don't need any friends! I don't need anyone!" He screamed, anger clear in his tone. Mokuba fell to his knees, the duel was over at that point. Yugi had won and was off to face Marik. Kaiba stood up and stalked toward the group. All Mokuba heard was a few words from Yugi from across the stadium. He was still on his knees. He heard Joey yelling now. He caught a few words. They made him stand up and look at them.

"Well if you don't need anyone, then what about your little brother! Some big brother you are! Saying things like that in front of him! What about his feelings! Every think before you open your big mouth rich boy?" Joey yelled, taking a step at Kaiba. "Hear that Mokuba! He doesn't need anyone! I guess that means he doesn't need you either! Some big brother!"

Mokuba flinched when he heard his name. He was still on the other side of the platform. He continued to stare at the ground, slowly he lifted his eyes. First he looked at Joey, then Yugi, then Kaiba. He flinched again and looked back at the ground.

"I..." was all Mokuba could get out. The tears stopped, but that didn't mean they weren't there. "I-I heard what he said..." Mokuba looked off across the stadium. Still refusing to meet his big brothers eyes. He turned from them all and gave them his back. He crossed his arms and looked at the ground.

"Mokuba..." A voice called behind him. He couldn't hear who, his heart was beating to loud in his chest. It hurts...It hurts more than the time Seto...No! Not that memory! That was years ago, but...its been years since Seto has smiled too.

There was more arguing behind him. He thought he heard Kaiba call him once, but he couldn't move. Joey was trying to lecture, he even heard Tea say something. He felt a pair of eyes burning in to his back. But he didn't turn around to see who, he just felt them there. The arguing died down, but he still didn't turn around. I remember Noah, he was bad in the beginning, he was even Gozaburo's flesh and blood. His own son! But he changed! He even told me that I would see him in the real world some day! That he and I could be true brothers some day. A hand was on his shoulder then. Mokuba jumped and turned, taking a step back. Joey was looking at him.

"Well? How do you feel?" Joey pointed and turned at Kaiba. "You just gonna just stand here and take that! After all the things you have done for him! Your going to let him say those things?!"

Mokuba was speechless. What should I say? What does Joey want to hear? What does Seto want to hear?

"Seto can say what he wants. I'm not him, I...don't know...What do you want me to say," he mumbled. Joey raised an eyebrow, Mokuba could practically feel him glaring at him.

"I can't believe you live with this selfish jerk! You take all that "I don't need anyone" crap? Well?!" Joey asked loudly.

"Joey stop! Yelling at Mokuba isin't going to do anything!" Tea yelled to him.

"Joey, its up to Kaiba for what he thinks. But he should think before he says the things he feels. Other people could be effected and he needs to realize this," said Yugi.

Yugi is right...He is absolutely right, why can't I say the things I want to say. Why do I keep those feelings bottled up all the time? It hurts...It...Hurts...Bad.

"Cram it Wheeler!" Kaiba yelled. Slowly, Mokuba looked up at his brother. "What happens between my family is non of your business!"

That was it.

"No Seto!" Mokuba yelled. Everyone was looking at him, it was now or never. "You say that all the time! But what about duelist kingdom! It was family business back then...But Yugi and his friends still wanted to help! If it wasn't for Yugi, you and I would still be trapped at Pegasus's castle!" Mokuba yelled, starting to feel the moisture start again. Kaiba was staring at him. His eyes were wide and angry again.

"Don't tell me you believe in that so called 'magic' it was all an illusion Mokuba," Kaiba said, making another sweeping motion with his hand. "It was fake! Don't tell me you actually believe in that nonsense!"

"Does it matter! He still helped us! Even if it was fake, if it was nonsense, he helped us! I was thankful! I was thankful you weren't hurt! Would a nobody make sure you weren't hurt or weren't alright after that?" Mokuba yelled, tears flowing steadily now. "Fine! Than call me a nobody! Call them all a nobody! Say that you don't need anyone or you don't want any friends. That you would rather be alone and have no one! But we still care. And you know what? I'll still care, no matter what the situation! I've always cared! I could be beaten to a bloody pulp but I'll still care about you! Because your my brother!" Because you saved me many times. The orphanage, Gozaburo, Noah's world, the docks and in the virtual world. Your my brother and I'm proud of you...No matter what, I'll always stand by you. Even if you don't need me. Even if you scream it in my face. I'll be there, ready to help in anyway I can. "Even if you don't need me...I'll still be there..."

Everyone was silent. Mokuba didn't try to hide the hurt on his face. He should be allowed to cry, he had every right to cry. His chest hurt, his head hurt, his heart hurt, but the didn't care. He just wanted his brother to be happy, even if it was a happiness achieved without him. Mokuba fell to his knees, his long, black hair finally hiding him from them. From his brother's eyes. Mokuba tilted his face and looked toward the floor.

"Mokuba..." he heard Yugi say. Mokuba shook his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. He smiled and looked up. Kaiba had a strange look on his face. Not angry or sad, it was...surprised. Mokuba walked past Joey, he walked past Yugi, Tea, and everyone else that was there. He took off his necklace, the one that held the only picture of his brother smiling. His treasure, the thing he never took off, ever. He walked up to his brother and held it out to him. Kaiba took it slowly, a look of confusion crossing his face.

"You'll need this to activate the tower. I'll be on the blimp." With that, Mokuba walked past his brother and headed down to the elevators.

Kaiba looked at the necklace in his hand. He was confused, he had a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He thought back to the day, the day the picture was taken. Joey shook his head and walked past Kaiba.

"Come on Yuge, lets get back on the blimp. Get off this junk filled island." Yugi was looking at Kaiba, he sighed and shook his head. He followed Joey and everyone else. Kaiba stood there, still looking at the necklace.

Mokuba sighed and rested his head against the cool metal wall. The sooner I get off this island the better. Just blow it to bits Seto, maybe that will make you happy. The elevator doors finally opened and he stepped out. He walked toward the exit and stopped. He looked up at the tower he was in. The ceiling seemed to never end, a continuous thing leading to darkness. A sudden chuckle was heard in the air. Mokuba turned to one of the near by corners. A hand quickly shot out from the darkness, grabbing his shirt front and pulling. He was slammed against a cold metal wall, wincing as a bolt dug in to his back. He opened his eyes and stared.

"M-Marik!" he shouted. Marik laughed and pushed Mokuba up against the wall.

"Looks like your brother failed at obtaining the Egyptian god cards. I'm disappointed in him. Looks like he just lost his bragging rights for the year." Marik laughed and pressed harder. Mokuba hissed and felt his back dig harder in to the bolt behind him. He felt himself steaming.

"Marik! Shut your mouth! My brother is a far better duelist than you'll ever be! Your going to lose your Egyptian god to Yugi!"

Marik growled and back handed the boy, causing Mokuba's lip to split. He yelped in pain and tried to get free. "Your brother lost, and I'm about to defeat the Pharaoh! Only I will have all three egyptian god cards! But since I never got the pleasure of defeating Kaiba myself, I'll have to do it another way." Marik narrowed his eyes. He leaned forward, licking the blood off of Mokuba's lips. The boy shuddered and tried to lean back. The bolt continued to dig in to his back. Causing him to arch against the body against him, pushing him to the wall. Marik chuckled and leaned forward again. Biting down on the skin below the boy's ear.

"S-stop! What will this prove! Besides the fact that your a desperate pedophile!" Mokuba yelled. Marik said nothing, he lowered his mouth. Opening it and running it down the column of the boy's throat.

"A-a-Ah..." Mokuba struggled, the back of his head clunked against the metal of the wall. He closed his eyes and tried to throw Marik off. Against his will, a light flush crossed his cheeks. It grew deeper with every movement of Marik's mouth. Marik raised his arm and tore the front of Mokuba's shirt open. Lowering his lips to the new skin.

"Leave me alone! Get off...Marik!" Mokuba pleaded. He was suddenly pulled from the wall. He was hauled over Marik's shoulder. He kicked and tried to get off. Marik pulled out his millennium rod and placed it in front of Mokuba's face. The boy stopped struggling and felt his body go still. His mind was spinning, he couldn't see straight, he passed out.

Marik felt the boy go limp. The put the millennium rod away and smirked. He hauled the boy higher on his shoulder. He ran his hand through the boy's smooth, black, long, hair. "Hmm...Lovely, little thing. I'll be gentle, promise. But at the end, Kaiba will be more hurt than you will boy..."
