Don't worry I'll finish that story before I go away but... well lets say you'll find me even more evil then you thought. Like I'm going to tell how it finishes.

Chapter 12: Accepting the inevitable.

Mokuba was all curl up under his cover crying, he hated storm al his life he hated them and was afraid to death by them. Maybe it was because his father's accident happened when there was a storm.

The only thing Mokuba wanted was to get up and go crying all the tears of his body in his brother's arm but still, he was afraid his brother may be still mad at him and that he could hit him again.

Seto was the only person who ever really cared about him since there father's death. Kaiba never realize it but his little brother was afraid he didn't really like him. He was afraid that Kaiba was actually using him like he used everyone who crossed his path. This fear was even greater after he heard Lector explain how Kaiba gain control of Kaiba Corp. when they were in that stupid virtual world.

Mokuba never tell his brother he heard it and fear too much his brother's reaction to confront him with it. Mokuba never said anything to anyone but he love and fear his brother more then anything else at the same time.

He never talked about it but he knows how his brother acts when he's not there. He often went to his office to see him and four time out of five his brother is yelling at someone before making the security throw him away.

This fear was caused by Gozaburo, he thought about Kaiba's love for his little brother as a weakness and he wanted his successor to be as strong as him so there wasn't one day passing without him telling Mokuba how his brother was using him, that he hated him and was going to throw him away at the first occasion as soon as he don't need him anymore.

Mokuba was only 5 years old when this started so it let his mark. He never tells his big brother what Gozaburo was telling him because each day he repeated to his step father that it was a lie and he had no idea how much it would affect him. Even now he didn't even realize how much it was affecting him.

When he heard a thunder Mokuba let out a little scream, he wanted to be with Seto but how could he after all he had done to his big brother. All his life he had accused himself for things he's not responsible ever since his father die.

No one wanted him, they had a couple of uncles or aunts who could have take care of them but no one wanted him. They all said they would take Seto but not him. Mokuba always felt like they didn't like him but he didn't understand why. The answer came later, Seto refused to live with anyone who wouldn't take Mokuba so he was send with him in the orphanage.

Mokuba remembered the day when he learned why all the family, except Seto and his father hated him.

-----Flashback-----

They had just arrive at the orphanage, Mokuba was there sitting on the swing, he had been there since they arrived. He was crying and was to busy looking at his shoes to see his brother coming his way.

He was so mad at himself that he throws his big brother away a couple of hours ago. It was his fault if Seto was here, no one wanted him, Seto could be happy with one of there aunt but he was also stuck in the orphanage and that was his fault.

"Hey Mokie." Seto said with a smile that Mokuba didn't see on his face since they were adopted.

Mokuba looked up at his big brother. "Hi Seto." He said feeling like he had no right to speak to him, he was ruining his life.

"Feeling good enough to come and walk a bit with me?" Seto asked. He knew something was on his little brother's mind and he wanted to be sure he was alright.

Mokuba get off the swing and followed his big brother to a park where they often came with there father. They were on a little bridge when Seto stop and kneel in front of his brother be look in his eyes.

"It's ok Mokie tell me what's wrong I can't stand seeing you like this."

"I-I'm only a pain in the butt for you Seto, you shouldn't even be here. You should be with our auth, she wanted you Seto, I'm totally ruining your life." He answered tears all over his face.

Then he couldn't stand it anymore he start crying all the tears of his body. Seto took him in his arm and sat down on the ground with Mokuba on his laps hugging him tightly.

"Shhhh it's ok Mokuba. Everything is fine, just let it out you'll see you'll feel a lot better." Seto said stroking his hairs.

"It's my fault you are here Seto, I'm sorry I'm ruining your life like that."

"No Mokie, it's not your fault I chose to be here with you."

"Yea it's my fault, they hate me they always hated me I heard them I know they didn't want me. Why did they all hate me so much?" Mokuba said crying even more.

All his life he always tried to make them love him, he loved them and it was important to him that they love him too. They were his family, but each time he saw them they were looking at him with disgust and they never speak to him.

Seto sighed and looked down at his brother. He knew how much Mokuba loved his aunts and uncles and he always felt disgusted by the way they treated him in return.

Mokuba was still crying on his brother's chest when Seto finally answered.

"All right, I think it's time you learn the truth Mokie."

"About what?" He asked looking up at his brother.

"About why they hate you Mokie. But before I want you to realize it's none of your fault, you are not responsible for what had happened. Ok?"

Mokuba only nodded unable to answer him.

Seto sighed. "Do you ever wonder how our mother died Mokie?"

Mokuba took time to stop crying before answering with a weak voice. "I did, sometime. But I never ask it."

"While she was giving birth to you something went horribly wrong, she lost too much blood and she die of it. The other all took you for responsible for her death because if you weren't here she would still be alive."

Mokuba's eyes went totally blank, it was his fault, he did it, if he wasn't there she would still be alive.

"You mean I killed her, she die because of me." Mokuba said trying to get away from his brother.

Seto was faster he grabbed Mokuba before he go away and took his head in is two hand to force him to look at in his eyes.

"No Mokie. You didn't kill her you understand me. It's not your fault, understand?"

Mokuba nodded but he had start crying again. Seto knew he was still thinking it was his fault. He and his father wanted to wait until he was old enough to understand it wasn't is fault.

Seto didn't wanted to tell him but the person in charge of the orphanage didn't seem to worry about how he would take it. He heard her said it to another woman and he knew one of the kid heard them too so he was sure half of the kid knew it already and he prefer if his brother learned it from him then from some bully.

"Come on Mokie let's go back, I know it's hard for you but no matter what the others say I want you to know it's not your fault."

-----End Flashback-----

Not my fault, if it's not my fault then whose fault is it. Seto only wanted to protect me but he's wrong it's my fault and no one else.

Mokuba passed all the night like that crying and accusing himself for every bad thing that ever happened.

When the morning came he didn't sleep at all, so has Joey. Mokuba just lay there still curl up under the cover, he wanted only one thing; to disappear he wanted to just stop existing.

Joey, of course, didn't worry about not seeing Mokuba and he didn't sleep last night. He had other more important thing to think about.

Right now he was really angry for no reason, unfortunately for him Kaiba had take al his happy memories while he only took Kaiba's bad memories so he had both he and Kaiba's bad side and after what he did to Kaiba the day before he really didn't want to lose his totally inexistent temper on Mokuba.

When Yami left him the day before, he warned him to be careful because he could be doing terrible things he would regret, the change of memories is not equal so he could be hurting the peoples he love the most only because he's angry and don't remember them.

He and Kaiba had both agree to skip school to make a last attempt to find the stone but as Joey arrived to the river he realize it was even more hopeless then ever; because of the storm the river had became bigger and faster so wherever the stone was it has probably make a long way down the river.

Kaiba hasn't been able to get some sleep either. He had all the difficulty of the world to get out of the house with serenity telling him he should try and rest. Like a few bruises and a black eye ever killed someone.

Kaiba was feeling so empty; more of his memories were gone. He didn't even remember his parent. Well that was partially true, he does remember someone as his parent but he still knew enough of who he was to know the people he remember were Joey's parent. He didn't even remember his real parents were and that they had died.

He joined Joey at the river and they both started to check for the stone, they didn't said a word fearing Joey's short temper. The day went slowly, really slowly, and they didn't find anything when they heard voice behind them.

"Hey Joey." Yugi said coming his way with the others.

"Oh great here come the company." Joey said with sarcasm all over him.

"Joey how come you didn't came to school and what are you doing here....with Kaiba." Tristan said with a death glare at 'Kaiba'.

"...well...you see.." Kaiba started.

"I was just passing by and I was feeling like finishing what I started yesterday." Joey answered. His temper was now gone and he felt like hitting the first person he saw.

"Yea well get lost Kaiba if you don't want to see how I can really be." Tristan said grabbing Joey by the collard. The little fight Kaiba and Joey had been well known of all the school and Tristan was even angrier that Kaiba had won it.

"I'm shaking." Joey said while taking Tristan hand and making him pass over his shoulder.

Tristan gets up and tried to jump on 'Kaiba' only to end up on the floor with Joey over him. Joey didn't care anymore; he didn't remember Tristan or anyone else as ever being his friend. He was about to punch him when someone took his hand and holing it so he wont hurt Tristan. Joey turned around to see who it was that was preventing him to express his anger on Tristan.

Yami was there, holding is hand tightly. "Kaiba, let go." He ordered.

Who does he think he is to order me around like this. Joey though, feeling like turning around and hurt him, witch he did. Yami fell to the ground and before he could even react Joey throw him to the ground and hit him two more time.

When he was about to hit Yami for the fourth time Tristan, Bakura and Kaiba finally succeeded in getting him off of Yami and they had to use all their strength to keep Joey on the ground.

"Are you ok Yami" Tea asked helping him to get up.

"I'll survive." He answered.

"Stop fighting Kaiba you are not going to get free anyway." Tristan said to Joey who was trying to get the three off of his back.

"It's ok Tristan let him go." Yami said.

"Are you serious? He's going to try to kill you as soon as he's free." Tristan answered.

Yami give him a look that left no room for protest so Tristan and the other let him go. Joey took one step in Yami's direction but was quickly stopped by Tristan and Kaiba.

Joey was mad, so mad he could kill Yami at the first occasion but he soon realize he was outnumber and that Yami was out of hand grasp. So he turned around even angrier then ever and made his way back home.

Joey was totally out of it when he entered the mansion. When he heard his big brother had arrived Mokuba put back his happy kid mask so Seto won't see anything and went to welcome him.

"Hi big brother!" He said smiling and hugging his brother.

Joey really wasn't in a mood for such things and pushed Mokuba away. Mokuba fall to the ground and give a questioning look to Joey.

"What give big brother?" Mokuba said while getting up and trying to hug his brother again. "Get lost." Joey said heading to the living room.

Of course Mokuba wasn't going to let his brother get away like that. He loved him and the idea that his brother could not like him was too much for him.

"Seto..." Mokuba said grabbing Joey's hand.

That wasn't the good thing to do considering Joey's killing mood. Before Mokuba could even understand what was happening Joey turned around and punch him in the face before he fall to the ground he took him by the collar and hold him tightly to the wall. Mokuba now was totally afraid and was trying to get away from him.

"S-Seto. Let me..." Mokuba didn't had time to finish that Joey hit him again. Mokuba looked up at his big brother with pleading puppy eyes; after all they always had work before.

Joey didn't let those eyes affect him, in fact this make him wanting to hurt him even more, so he kick Mokuba in the stomach and let him felt to the ground. Mokuba stayed there not daring to look at his brother.

"Get out of my sight." Joey ordered him. Mokuba didn't need to be told twice before going to his room. Joey sat on a couch and just stayed there, he was feeling a lot better now that he let go of his anger, at his point there wasn't anything really in him that looked like Joey or Kaiba, he was just a mix of the worst parts of each.

He stayed there for a long time passing over and over again what he did to Mokuba in his head with a sick pleasure. More memories of Kaiba made there way to his mind with time passing and quickly the way he beat that kid made him sick, there was just one question Joey couldn't answer about his soon to be new life; who was the kid he had beat like that, he returned to reality when he heard a knock on the door.

Some maid answered the door and Kaiba went to the living room to see Joey.

"What are you doing here Kaiba?" He asked.

The tone in his voice make Kaiba feeling a little bit better, Joey seemed a lot more sane then when he left him, Kaiba thought he was probably acting like he was but he couldn't be really sure of it since he didn't remember how he acted. Kaiba made a sing in direction of the clock; it showed 11:57 P.M.

Joey looked at it and sighted, 3 minutes left and he won't remember who he was. In fact the only three things he remembered about who he really was were the fact that he changed his life with Kaiba, his name and his sister. All the rest were Kaiba's memories.

"Looks like it's over." Joey said. "I have to admit it was kinda fun when it started.

Kaiba let out a small laugh. "Yea, too bad it went out of control, if you wouldn't have lost the stone this could have been a lot of fun. It's feeling strange, I know all of those thing about your life but I know that all my feeling aren't true and that I don't remember the people I love or what my life his, and in two minute I won't even remember that."

"Yea it strange, you promise to take care of my sister even if you won't even remember that promise in one minute?" Joey asked

"Only if you promise to take care of my brother the same way." Kaiba answered.

They were shaking each other's hand to seal there pact when the clock strike midnight. But something they didn't expected happened, the same lightning then when they switched body appeared starting form there still holding hand and followed there arm to strike them directly in the heart, throwing each or them to an opposite side of the room.

Kaiba was the first to wake up, he looked at the clock; 12:13 AM. HE stood up and was surprised when he saw himself in the mirror. He carefully walked toward it, afraid it might just be an illusion.

When he was at on feet of it he could se perfectly it wasn't an illusion. He had short brown hair with deep blue eyes and he was wearing his white trench coat. Even better he remembered who he was and also that he changed body for one week witch mean everything was back to normal.

How could this be, I remember I change my body with Joey so according to Yugi or whoever he was that mean I'm back in my real body but he also said we couldn't change back if we don't have the stone and we don't have it.

Joey woke up also and didn't believe his eyes either; he quickly came to the same conclusion as Kaiba but didn't understand how it could have happened either.

"That's great everything is back to normal now but how?" Joey asked.

"I have no idea, neither of us have the stone but Yugi also said it would work if it's close by." Kaiba said.

"Well now that you mention it I remember, so that mean that stone must be close and probably closed then we think." Joey said.

"Yea, but where?"

At the same moment Mokuba was still fully awake, he wanted to cry so much but he already had use all the tears of his body. He was so sad and at the same time he was angry, his brother didn't care about him, he had used him all his life. He was there in a corner of room his eyes blank fixing since he went to his room something in his hand. He was making it roll between his fingers never stopping looking at it.

He couldn't let his eyes away from that little purple stone, it almost seems alive and Mokuba felt like it understand his pain. About 20 min earlier it glowed.

Mokuba was so mad at his brother that he holds the stone so tightly it was hurting him, but that pain felt good. He was still sobbing like crazy. He wanted his brother's death for the way he treated him. He wanted to see him die right before his eyes. His entire world just went down, he had nothing left, his brother had destroyed his life and he wanted him to pay for it.

"I really wish you were NEVER born Seto, NEVER."
