Chapter 1
Seto, Serenity, and Seiji walked through the enterance of the famous Domino park, a park in which Seiji knew well. Seto turned, and noticed Yugi and Tea, as well as Anna. "Great, the midget is here..." Seto muttered under his breathe. Serenity hit Seto in the arm, "Why don't you go play with Anna, Seiji?"
Seiji quickly shaded his face, "Mom... I don't play. I hang out!" Serenity shook her head, "Right. Well go 'hang out'" Seiji ran off in the direction of the Motous. Serenity and Seto sat on the bench, as they watched Seiji go along talking to Anna. "Seto, your going to have to deal with Yugi now-a- days since Seiji is friends with Anna."
"If that boy marries Anna, I will never forgive him." Serenity hit Seto in the arm again. Seto rubbed his arm as Joey, Mai, and Mika walked past them. Joey and Seto's eyes met with an angry glare. "Wheeler..."
"Kaiba..." Mai and Serenity gave out a sigh. "Look, before you tell me to buzz off, this is free park!" Joey said diplomatically. Seto chuckled, "Just move along Wheeler, I don't want to hear some justice speech." Joey shot one last glare at him and then walked off with Mika by his side. Mai walked over to Serenity.
"Joey's been having a hard time lately at work."
"I would imagine, being a lawyer isn't the easiest of jobs." Mai chuckled, and walked off to Joey in the next bench.
"Hey Mika!" Anna called over to Mika. Mika turned, waved, and ran over to Seiji and Anna. "Hi Mika" Seiji said when Mika approached them both. "Hi Seiji" Mika said politely. Anna turned to Seiji, "Yo Seiji, where's your cousin? You said she was gonna be here today?"
"Which one?"
"You know, the cool one." Seiji shrugged, "Sakura can be cool when she wants to be."
"Come on Seiji, she's 3. She's not gonna be cool to a bunch of 13 year olds." Seiji nodded, "I guess your right," Seiji continued, "But they live all the way in Hiroshima, what do you expect?"
"Hey Seiji!" Seiji turned. There was his uncle, Mokuba. Seiji smiled and ran up. Mokuba quickly scooped him up in his arms. "It's so good to see you Seiji." Mokuba placed him down, "Your getting so big. You were just a tiny boy when I last saw you." Seiji blushed. Naomi quickly ran over to Seiji.
"What's up cuz?"
"Nothin' much over here these days." Naomi smiled. "Hey Naomi! What's up?" Naomi waved and ran down to Anna and Mika. Seiji turned to run, but was quickly grabbed by Mokuba. "Seiji, say hi to Sakura before you go." Seiji nodded. "Hey little Sakura" Seiji said in a sweet voice as he bent over and kissed the 3 year old on the head.
Seiji ran off as Mokuba walked over to Seto and Serenity. Seto got up and placed his arm around his little brother, "Mokuba, it's been a while since I last saw you. How's life been treating you?" Mokuba placed Sakura in the arms of Serenity. He turned to Seto.
"It's so good to see you Seto!" Mokuba tackle hugged Seto. Seto had to take a few steps back. He lifted up his arms and hugged Mokuba back. Seto smiled, remembering the young boy that he called his baby brother. Mokuba may always be that little child he once, and may always, knew.
Seto felt his shirt turning wet. He looked down. His brother was crying. "What's wrong Mokuba?" Mokuba looked up to Seto. "Seto! It has happened. Something that I never intended to happen before. Something that had happened to us..." Mokuba pushed away from Seto and turned.
Seto stared at his brother, "Mokuba? What are you talking about? What has happened to us?" Mokuba wiped the tears from his eyes. He shaded his face, "She has died Seto, she has already left me... the same way Mom left us." Seto stared at him. Serenity got up. "What are you talking about Mokuba? Who has left you?" Serenity asked.
"Niomi, she passed away, 3 years ago..." Seto ran to Mokuba and turned him to face him. "What?! Why didn't you tell us sooner?!" Serenity placed her hand on Seto's shoulder, "Seto, it is must've been hard for Mokuba to do that."
"I just had to see you. To tell you in person." Seto wrapped his arms around Mokuba, "I'm sorry. You should've came sooner. You can't keep such sorrow inside of you for so long..." Mokuba nodded, still in the arms of Seto. "Come, let's sit down." Serenity handed Sakura to Mokuba and they all sat down. Seto turned to Mokuba.
"How did this happen to someone like Niomi?"
"I don't know, one minute she gives birth to Sakura, then the next..." tears broke out from Mokuba's eyes, "The doctor comes and tells me that I have gained a daughter and lost a wife!" Serenity placed her hand on Mokuba's shoulder. "Does Naomi know that?" They turned to the little group of children talking. "Yes, she knows. But like you Seto, she shows no weakness."
Seto nodded, "You married a good woman... good traits." Mokuba smiled and looked down to Sakura. "Sakura has your eyes, Seto. Not Niomi's." Seto chuckled, "Well, it takes true Kaiba blood to get those." Seto said looking at the eyes of Sakura. He held her close, "Don't forget, she looks just like you Mokuba." Mokuba laughed.
"More like Adina." Then they laughed together. Mokuba looked off at the walking group of mostly teens, talking and laughing. "At least I have you big brother, I don't know what I would do without you." Seto smiled and placed his arms around both Mokuba and Serenity. ************************************************************************ Ok, as you can see, Seto as loosened up after the last 20 years. But hey, now he has more of a family now^-^ Poor Mokuba... [falls onto knees and starts to cry] WHY MUST THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO HIM?! Well, Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
