To a lot of people, my brother is seen as a cold, heartless person who's obsessed with working and playing Duel Monsters. But they don't know him like I do.
Seto's my big brother and he's always been there for me. When our parents died, Seto promised me that he would always take care of me, that he would always love me. And he's kept that promise.
Whenever other kids in the orphanage picked on me, Seto was always there for me. He stood up for me, he would hold me when I cried, talked to me when I was scared. And on more than one occasion, people would come to the orphanage to adopt a child. Whenever they met Seto, they would see how mature and smart he was for a little kid and they would want to adopt him almost right away. But they didn't want me, they never wanted me. Seto would always say he wouldn't go if I couldn't come with him.
I'll never forget that. I'll never forget how my brother always was with me there and promised that we'd never be torn apart.
And then he came. Gozaburo Kaiba, the man in charge of KaibaCorp. He had come for some kind of public appearance and my big brother challenged him to a game of chess, saying that if he won, Gozaburo would adopt him and me. Gozaburo had laughed at the idea of a child winning against him, but I had seen Seto play and he never lost.
After Gozaburo adopted us, Seto promised we would be okay. But after our adoption, I never saw my brother anymore; he was always studying and working. Our stepfather said it was so that when the time came, he would be able to pass the control of KaibaCorp to Seto and not wonder if he made the right decision.
The big brother I knew back at the orphanage was gone. In his place was a cold, distant boy who seemed to want nothing to do with me. I was scared. What had Gozaburo done to Seto? Where was my big brother? Would he ever come back?
He did, and after that he promised me that he would never go away like that again. And then he lost to Yugi Muto, a boy his age but he was around my height. Seto disappeared again, but just like last time he came back like I knew he would. That didn't stop my heart from breaking when he left me, but I can never be mad at him.
But now things are different, the big brother I used to know and love is back now and even though I worried that he would disappear again, he hasn't.
He's looking at me now. He's smiling. Seto almost never smiles anymore. He only seems to do that with me. It makes me sad to know that part of his childhood is gone forever and Gozaburo is too, but that man's damage on him still lingers. I know the scars are still there and that they may never fully go away. But I still have him and he still has me.
I love my big brother more than anything else in the world. And seeing his smiling face when he looks at me lets me know that he feels the same way for me. It also lets me know that I'll never lose him. Never.

So, how was this? Let me know.
