Thank you for the reviews :)

Chapter Six

Leaving the building as quickly as possible the Doctor and Mokuba made their way back to the TARDIS with neither of them stopping to look behind at the growing crowd that gathered outside the KC building. Both of them remained silent as they quickly walked beside each other across the court yard and entered the blue phone box, Mokuba first followed by the Doctor, who saw the other Kaiba brother held by several security guards, as he closed the TARDIS' doors behind him.

"Are you sure you're okay?" the Doctor asked as he approached Mokuba and rest a comforting hand on the boy's shoulder who stood at the controls already entering the next date into the system.

Mokuba nodded as he bit hard onto his lip and thought about what he had done. Although he had been responsible for Gozaburo's death, it wasn't that which plagued his mind but the fact that his brother had suffered so much because of him which he had been oblivious to the whole time and that he himself had caused him to suffer even more with the old man's death as Kaiba would be the one that fingers were pointed at with the murder accusations since he had been the last person to 'officially' see Gozaburo alive. He looked up at the Doctor and forced a weak smile to show that he'd be okay.

"You mustn't blame yourself." The Doctor frowned, not buying the boy's smile and completely unaware as to what Mokuba was really thinking about. "It was an accident." He pulled the lever and the TARDIS transported them back to nearer the present time.

Sitting alone in Kaiba's office, Mokuba counted down the minutes and seconds to when he would be able to see his brother again. The past several hours had seemed like a lifetime to him and he was anxious to make sure that things were back to how they were before he'd first meet the Doctor. He sat there looking out the window and ran through the plan of action that they had come up with.

They'd entered the building shortly before the Doctor had arrived there first time around and managed to go unnoticed by the receptionist who was busy checking the IDs of several other people at once. Mokuba was to wait in the office for his brother to return from the research lab so that he didn't run into his other self. The Doctor was going to leave his other self a reminder of the things that were going on and one of them would take the Mokuba from the lab to the TARDIS to explain things. Concerned that they had created a time paradox and that there would then be two of him, Mokuba voiced this to the Doctor who confused him even more talking about 'wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey.' But assured that all would be okay.

With his back to the door Mokuba jumped in the huge black chair he sat in as he heard the door open and footsteps coming closer to him. Excitedly he spun it around on its pivot to turn and face Kaiba who froze were he stood with a surprised and puzzled look on his face. "Mokuba?"

"Seto!" Mokuba cried happily as he leaped from the chair and raced towards his brother unable to stop the tears from rolling down his face.

"Why aren't you in the lab watching over that impostor?" Kaiba demanded to know as his brother wrapped his arms around him tightly. There was no reply as Mokuba began to sob. "Mokie?" Kaiba's tone was softened.

"I missed you so much." Mokuba wept with his head buried in the folds of Kaiba's flowing white coat, knowing that his brother would never understand what he had just been through since he was unable to open his mind to the facts and possibilities of such things as time travel.

"It's only been a couple of minutes." Kaiba stated as he looked down at Mokuba's dark scruffy hair and wondered what it was he had done to upset his brother this time.

"It felt like a lot longer." Mokuba smiled as he brushed away the tears and stood listening to his brother's heartbeat which drowned out the horrible memories of the cold emotionless Cyberman that had tried to harm him.

The fact that there was a stranger in his research lab left Kaiba's mind as he focused all his attention to his younger brother whom he continued to let hug him tightly for awhile where they stood in the middle of the room. He hated seeing Mokuba upset and felt next to useless when it came to comforting him as he'd lost touch of how to be sympathetic towards others over the years. For a moment he hesitated before he softly patted his brother on the head with one hand and shoulder with the other but stopped shortly after as he thought he heard Mokuba's voice outside his office.

"Hold on a minute." Kaiba said as he gently broke away from his brother so that he could investigate the noise coming from the corridor.

"No." Mokuba yelled as he grabbed hold of his brother's arm before Kaiba had the chance of opening the door. "Don't leave me." He pleaded with big watery eyes as he couldn't let his brother interfere with the plan and risk losing him all over again.

"Okay." Kaiba nodded after some slight hesitation as Mokuba coiled around him again and let go of the door handle. He had no idea what it was that had upset his brother but it was clear to him that Mokuba needed him here and now, and wasn't going to let him down like he had done so much of over the past years. Taking his cell phone from his inside coat pocket he speed dialled his secretary's number. "Cancel all of today's appointments and meetings, something's come up which is much more important." He hung up after his order and turned his attention back to Mokuba who was squeezing him again. "What's wrong kiddo?"

"Nothing." Mokuba mumbled and then thought about asking his brother to talk about the past whilst he seemed to have his full attention for once, but then decided against it as he didn't want his brother to close up and change moods right now. "I guess I just never truly appreciated you until just recently."

That's it?! Kaiba kept his thoughts to himself for fear that he may upset his brother even more as Mokuba was over emotional enough as it was and didn't want to start him crying again. He also felt slightly guilty himself as he never actually expressed just how much he appreciated his brother either. Maybe now was the time for doing so?

"I'm sorry." Mokuba blurted out as Kaiba was about to attempt to say something.

"For what?" Kaiba asked as he wondered just what it was his brother might have done for him to apologise willingly.

"For making you weak." Mokuba whispered thinking about what he had witnessed back in his step-father's office.

A sigh escaped Kaiba as he knew he'd always fail to understand what went on underneath the mass of black scruffy hair which he stared down at. Now placing both hands on his shoulder's Kaiba gently pushed Mokuba back from him so that he could drop down to be more level with his little brother. "Yes it's true, you are my weakness, anyone can see that." He looked deep into the grey-blue eyes and couldn't recall the last time he'd felt so close to the one who meant so much to him. "But you're also my strength."

Mokuba's eyes began to fill up again as he heard his brother's words. "Really?"

"Really." Kaiba nodded. "There are a million things which I wouldn't have been able to overcome if you hadn't have been there for me when I needed the support to keep me going from one day to the next." He felt his lips dry out as he hesitated and wet them again before he continued. "I'm the one who should be apologising for not letting you know how much that I appreciate you for standing by my all this time. I've done many things that I'm not proud of, and you've never once turned away from me." His gaze was reflected back in his brother's watery eyes as though it was a mirror and he struggled to stop his voice from shaking as he spoke. "I just wish that I could be the brother that you truly deserve."

"You're more than I deserve." Mokuba said happily as he wrapped his arms around his brother's neck and let the tears flow freely as he felt Kaiba's arms wrap around him. It had been almost forever that he'd dreamt for this day to come and all of the last few hours, even years, seemed to disappear as the brother he had once known was returned to him.

The soft black hair of his brother began to feel damp against his cheek and Kaiba knew it was time to brighten the mood. "So now that we have the whole day to ourselves, what would you like to do?" He eased his brother from him and helped to dry the rest of the younger boy's tears. "Anything at all, your choice."

Mokuba thought hard. "Can we watch a film?"

Kaiba nodded.

"A trilogy perhaps?"

Oh no. Kaiba knew that his brother was going to choose the Back to the Future films, but if that's what Mokuba wanted then so be it. "You do realise that I'll probably complain about the whole aspect of time travel throughout all three?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Mokuba laughed and saw his brother laugh too.

"You're weird." Kaiba ruffled up the younger boy's hair and rose to his full height.

"One of us has to be." Mokuba smiled up at his brother and remembered the Doctor's words. 'Just give him time and he'll learn to smile again…….Trust me.'
