Yay a new story!

Hope you guys like it!

Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh is not mine. But the plot is.

A panicked youth in his late teens was scanning the area for his younger sibling. He had taken Yuugi to the museum for a field day, but a fight ensued causing the younger one to run-off. The teen, Atemu Motou, ran his hand through his hair. All of the worst scenarios possible ran through the teen's mind. Didn't Yuugi know the dangers that the world held? Of course not. Atemu went to great lengths keeping the horrible secrets of the world away from his brother. Sometimes the role of brother, parent, and friend weighed heavy on his shoulders. Today was one of those days. Small curses escaped from his mouth.. Then he saw a flash of spiky hair.

"Yuugi!"

Atemu sprinted forward and almost collided with a couple. A mumbled apology was heard. Yuugi had turned around at the call of his name and saw his older brother as the teen ran towards him. Immediately his face took the form of a scowl and he ran off. Atemu reached out and caught the hem of Yuugi's shirt, which sent the boy flying onto the floor. This action sent Yuugi into hysterics.

"Aibou," said Atemu gently, picking up his brother. The boy wrapped his small arms around his kin, hiding his face in Atemu's shoulder. No matter how mad Atemu got at Yuugi, he had a soft spot for him; that was enough for him to forgive Yuugi. Truth of the matter was: Yuugi was Atemu's life.

Anyone who ever saw the brothers would automatically know they were brothers. Their hair was the same except for a few blonde highlights in Atemu's hair and a lock of hair that fell down Yuugi's forehead. Their hair was a mix of blonde, red, and black which stuck out in 5 spikes, defying earth's gravity. They both had bangs cascading in front to the sides. As for their eyes, Atemu's were crimson but when you got him mad, they turned bloodshot red, while Yuugi had bright amethyst eyes. When little Yuugi unleashed his eyes on someone, it meant he was going to get anything he wanted. About a week ago, Yuugi wanted to go to an amusement park but Atemu refused. Yuugi put on his puppy dog eyes and Atemu reluctantly agreed.

Holding Yuugi up, Atemu proceeded to the rest of the exhibit. Atemu was only 17 years old and Yuugi's only living relative. Their parents had died when Yuugi was only two and their grandpa had passed away last year, leaving the brothers to fend for themselves. Luckily, Atemu had inherited the secret stash Grandpa had (kept) hidden and relieved the financial burden on the teen. He was just seventeen after all, and not many places hired teenagers.

Atemu walked into the Egyptian room. He had always been fascinated with Egypt. It had started when his grandpa gave him the Millennium Puzzle at the age of 5. Though it took him some time to solve it, the completed puzzle now hung around his neck.

Yuugi had fallen asleep in his arms, so Atemu proceeded at his own pace. There was a recent discovery in Egypt and it had come to Domino, Japan. Which was very odd. Why Domino? But Atemu ignored this question as he read about shadow games, a pharaoh, and a prophecy. He supported Yuugi with one arm and traced the hieroglyphics with the other. His eyes narrowed at the familiarity. As if by instinct, Atemu closed his eyes and searched his mind for the words that did not come. He looked up and glanced to his side. There standing in an Egyptian cotton dress was a woman. She stared at him with an expectant expression. This freaked Atemu out, but he suppressed it. Instead of acknowledging her, he turned his heel and left the exhibit. Seeing that there was nothing else to see and Yuugi was asleep, Atemu headed home.

The museum was close to home, so he had left his car there. He preferred to walk anyway. But he hadn't been expecting to carry a sleeping Yuugi. Oh well. Lost in his thoughts, he was about to cross the street when a black limo pulled right in front of him, causing him to jump backwards and fall. To break his fall, he had let go of Yuugi and used his arms. He realized his mistake a second too late. The kindergartner landed on him, eliciting an 'umph' from Atemu. The action caused Yuugi to wake up and he scrambled up from Atemu and looked dazed. The door to the limo opened. Yuugi recognized this and ran into the limo. Atemu stared at the car.

"Aren't you going to join us?" A cold voice resounded. Atemu stood up, brushed himself off, and dove into the limo.

"KAIBA!" Atemu proceeded to grab the older boy by the collar. "You careless bastard. You could have killed us!"

Atemu had Kaiba pinned against his seat, shaking him by the collar. When Atemu got mad he got really mad, especially when it involved the well-being of Yuugi. The once calm crimson eyes turned red with anger and hatred. When Kaiba didn't respond, he threw a punch. His fist collided with Kaiba's face, but not before Kaiba's leg connected to with Atemu's middle and sent him flying to the other side of the limo.

"Look, you dimwit," Kaiba wiped away the trickle of blood coming from his lip, "Its not my fault you don't watch where you're going."

Yuugi realized the danger of the situation and waddled over to Atemu and held his arms up. Atemu made no movement. He was contemplating what to do. He knew he should pick Yuugi up and keep his arms occupied. On the other hand, he ached to pummel Kaiba.

"Yami" came the voice from the kindergartner. Atemu gave in, slowly picking Yuugi up and setting him on his lap. Satisfied, Yuugi snuggled against Atemu's chest and proceeded to suck his thumb. Usually Atemu prohibited that kind of behavior, but right now he was too busy to notice, as he was sending death glares at his rival. Kaiba smirked.

"It seems he has you twirled around his finger."

"You're one to talk. Aren't you forgetting someone?"

Kaiba's face fell. Indeed, he had forgotten about his younger brother, Mokuba. He looked somber for a moment.

"What do you want, Kaiba." Atemu didn't try to hide the venom in his voice. The way he phrased it, it was a statement, not a question.

"I need you to duel."

"You almost killed us for a duel?" Disbelief was apparent in his voice. But so was bloody murder. Yuugi sunk deeper in Atemu's chest, knowing that his big brother wouldn't fling him aside in his own rage. Yuugi had learned that he was the only one who could pacify his brother.

"Look, the Big Five kidnapped Mokuba and took him to Duelist Kingdom."

Atemu's whole disposition changed. He wrapped his arms tighter around the kindergartner in his arms.

"I need your help."

Atemu almost fell down. Kaiba, asking for help? Atemu rubbed his head. Maybe he'd hit it when he fell. Kaiba was known for his ruthless tactics getting what he wanted. "Help" was not part of the man's vocabulary.

"Why?" He asked. Kaiba looked lost in thought.

"Well, I know you got an invitation to Duelist Kingdom…" Kaiba paused, "I need you to get Mokuba while I go after the Big Five."

Atemu just stared at him.

"You think your group is more important than saving your brother." He gritted his teeth. It seemed the more time he spent with Kaiba, the more he was about to kill the man.

"You're pathetic. You actually think I would ditch my own brother. You're wrong. You see, after you defeated me, I went away. The Big Five took control of my company, and kidnapped my brother. I need my company back to foil their plans. I will not have Mokuba come back to nothing. If I didn't know you, I would have gone to get Mokuba myself. Think of it as killing two birds with one stone."

Atemu frowned. If anything ever happened to Yuugi, nothing would stop him from rescuing him. Although, Kaiba did have a point. He was responsible for his company, his employees, and the products. If he didn't do something, well the world would probably go through a recession. Atemu sighed. No matter how he felt about Kaiba, when it came to family, he couldn't doubt the man. Because he had his reasons.

"Alright, I'll help you." He said bluntly.

"Good."

They stared at each other a little more.

"I believe this is your stop,"

Atemu whipped his head toward the window; indeed they were parked in front of the game shop. He didn't even remember the drive here. Instantly Yuugi jumped off Atemu's lap, ran over and gave Kaiba a hug, which Kaiba returned, and bolted out the door and into the shop.

"Atemu…"

Atemu looked at Kaiba and was shocked what he saw. Kaiba's face was contorted in pain and it looked like he was having in internal struggle within himself.

"If anything happens to Mokuba, I'll…" Kaiba was never at a loss for words. Atemu just nodded his head, signifying he knew. He felt the same way about Yuugi. Kaiba quickly regained his composure. "I'm counting on you. Don't disappoint me."

With that, Atemu got out of the limo and watched as it sped away. He actually felt sorry for Kaiba at the moment. His eyes lingered on the limo until it turned around the corner and out of sight. Atemu slowly turned around and made his way to the door.

"Don't worry Kaiba, you'll get Mokuba back."

Back at the Museum

The woman in the white cotton dress approached her brother.

"Marik, we found him."

Soooo...
