Chapter 1

 

“Come on guys, I'm hungry!” Ryou whinnied as he pulled Akeifa and Bakura by the wrist towards the food court. The two darks snickered as they stopped to stare at a large diamond display outside a jewelry outlet in the mall. “Come on! Please!” Their cute little hikari whined like the child he had been when they first meet. “Guys please!” he whimpered. They just laughed as their light pulled on them to budge.

 

“Okay, lovely hikari.” Akeifa said kissing Ryou's forehead causing him to blush. He then took his hikari's hand and they walked into the food court. “What is it you desire?”

 

Ryou looked at all the wonderful food choices the mall had to offer before his eyes settled on something familiar and no it wasn't any restaurant. It was someone who was so post to be out of town for another two days. He squinted so that he could look closer unaware that Bakura and Akeifa were now looking over each of his shoulders.

 

“What'cha looking at?” Bakura asked but Ryou found he surprised and as a result he stumbled backwards into his darks sending the three of them to the ground.

 

“Kaiba's here?” he said to himself before he got to his feet again.

 

“Kaiba? As in Seto? I don't think so Kaiba told you he was off to Japan or something right for a business deal?” Bakura asked looking at the boy again.

 

The teen that had captured their imagination was sitting three rows over staring at a piece of paper. His hair was brown and he appeared to be tall and thin as well. The only difference was that his hair was held back in a lose ponytail because it was clearly past his shoulders, but still neatly combed and together. He smiled at what looked like a picture in his hand before turning to a small scrap of paper. “DOMINO CITY” was written on it in bold letters.

 

“If only Ishtar was here, with that stupid rod of his.” Akeifa said rubbing his sore butt.

 

“I know you missed me but come on it's only been a week.” A new voice said as a dark cloud appeared and disappeared beside Akeifa.

 

“I hate it when you do that Mariku. Where's that hikari of yours?” he asked getting to his feet.

 

“Well,” Mariku said thinking to himself as he tapped his millennium rod against his head. “I don't know to be sure. I think he's with Marik but whom am I to know.” He replied dropping his rod to his waist dropping his rod to tap against his knees. He looked to his right. “I think that's my hikari now.” He said looking over to see Malik and Marik running towards them.

 

“You promised you wouldn't shadow hop anymore! Mariku you promised!” Malik shouted like an upset child turning red in the face. Marik and Mariku both started to laugh at their lights behavior.

 

“You said those exact words when you were seven and you though we had abandoned you.” Mariku said looking around the food court. “Now that we're here I'm hungry. What do you want to buy me to eat hikari?” Mariku asked looking around the food court. Malik smacked Mariku in the back of the head causing his spiky hair to shake slightly.

 

“Malik that was Akiefa's fault. We just wanted to know if you could tell us that guy over there is.” Ryou apologized for his yami's thoughtless actions. The three new comers looked on to the stranger that resembled Seto Kaiba with interest. Malik squinted.

 

“You sure that's not Seto?”

 

“Yeah, he should still be on his trip, at least that's what Joey told me this morning.” Ryou replied. “Plus, when the last time you saw Seto Kaiba sitting in a mall with a soda staring at a sheet of paper like a lost tourist?”

 

“Good point,” Malik replied. “Mariku start prying.”

 

Mariku smiled and laughed to himself. “I knew you liked that position.” He chuckled only to receive a slap form both Akeifa and Marik.

 

“Be serious.” They said both blushing madly not sure who he was talking about completely.

 

He chuckled to himself amused before he seriously got down to diving into this stranger's subconscious.

 

Mariku's normally clear, sharp and aggressive eyes became clouded and somewhat calm as he pried into the mind of the teen sitting across the food court. Only bits and pieces of information came to him. `Must find Seto… have to get away… can't take anymore… it's all that brats fault… maybe I should have stayed with Seto… Seto… how do I find you in this city… little brother how do I find you?' those were the most fragmented of his thoughts. Mariku eyes widened before they went back to normal.

 

“So what did you get?” Akeifa asked in a hurry. Ryou looked around only to find Bakura walking back toward them with a hot dog on a stick and two cheese sticks in one hand and a large lemonade in the other hand.

 

“I was hungry.” He said simply before sitting down at a table to eat his meal giving one cheese stick to Ryou and the hot dog to Akeifa.

 

“Read my mind, I want this when I get home too.” He said under his breath so that only Bakura could hear him. A light blush appeared on his face but quickly vanished.

 

“He's looking for Seto alright. I saw a distinct image of Seto when he was a child in that boy's mind. He's looking hopefully towards finding freedom from something by finding Seto, and he also seems to think his whole current situation has to do with some child I assume would have to be Mokuba since their was an image of him in his mind as well.” Mariku said stealing a bite of Akiefa's hot dog on a stick. Akeifa growled. “Oh yeah, he also called his Seto his little brother.”

 

“Does Seto have any other siblings other then Mokuba?” Malik said it a little louder then he meant to but he managed to get the other teens attention.

 

Unknown to them he had stood up to throw his box of fries and soda away when he heard them talking, since they were standing and sitting right next to the trash can. He walked over to them and asked very politely, something Seto never did.

 

“Excuse me, did you say Seto and Mokuba, just now.” He asked quietly as though he didn't mean to intrude but need to know. Ryou nodded and decided he would address the teen by himself.

 

“Yes, Seto and Mokuba Kaiba are friends of ours.” He said standing up from the table after wiping his mouth with a napkin.

 

“Can you tell me if the Seto you're talking about looks anything like me?” he asked once again politely.

 

Ryou looked at him and noticed the striking similarities. This new boy had long chestnut brown hair and cold blue eyes with pale skin; he was tall with a slim and lean build with slightly formed muscles. He looked hopefully to Ryou but then it turned to gloom figuring they didn't look alike after all. In fact they looked likely enough to be identical twins except this boy's hair was way to long to ever belong to Seto and he wore a pair of metal framed bottomless glasses.

 

“Actually, you guys could pass for each other if your hair was shorter and you took off your glasses.” Ryou said looking to the other for reassurance. They all seemed stunned by just how alike this stranger and Seto looked. “I bet Mokuba wouldn't know the difference.” The teen grunted at Mokuba's name but didn't say a work. Mariku was reading the words as they ran though his mind.

 

`that little murderer Seto kept him after all of that? How dare he! What about mother? Has he forgotten how horrible that little runt made our lives?' Mariku shock his head from all the hate that was traveling though the teen's mind.

* To the Gods, he really hates Mokuba. Let's just pray Kaiba come home early if we're going to get them to meet each other. I'm scared that he might actually try and hurt the poor kid. *

 

The others looked at him and nodded.

 

“Mokuba's not that bad of a kid, a little hyper at times but otherwise a good kid.” Akeifa said. “But if you don't believe me then your just going to have to go for a ride down to Kaiba Corp with us and find out for yourself.” He added before finishing off the last of the lemonade and heading for the exit. The other followed none of the sure of what the strange kids name was.

 

“By the way what's your name?” Bakura asked surprised that no one else had asked it.

 

“Seth, Seth Jameson.” He replied as he put the spare helmet on his head and held onto Bakura.

 

(Now we are at the Kaiba Mansion in the Wheeler sector)

Joey sat on his bed with a smile on his face listening to the silence of the house before realizing something. The house was too quiet. What were his brother and Mokuba up to? He got up and walked into the long hallway and turned a corner only to run into Mokuba who was currently running at top speed, so they hit but Mokuba kept running. A few minutes later another blonde came running down the hallway still wiping what looked like whipped cream off of his face.

 

“Mokuba, where did you go? I promise I'm not mad!” He shouted pulling nuts and cherries out of his short blonde hair. “Oh, hi Joseph, what are you doing on the floor?” He asked wiping his hand on his pants leg before helping his older brother off of the floor.

 

“Mokuba just bull dozed though here like his ass was on fire. What were you two doing?” Joey asked pulling some of the remaining nuts out of John's hair.

 

“I wasn't doing anything. I was sleeping outside on a lawn chair and that little monkey comes through here and decides to make an Ice Cream Sunday out of my head. I mean look,” I said point to where the ice cream was still dripping down his chest from his head. “He even put ice cream on me!”

 

Joey found himself laughing at the mess that was his brother. “I mean…” Joey broke into uncontrollable laughter again. John huffed before he growled and walked into the bathroom.

 

“I'll get that little imp yet, you wait!” He growled before locking the door.

 

“John, I'm sorry but you look hilarious. Mokuba come out here!” he shouted still giggling to himself.

 

“Screw you Joseph.” John shouted through the door before he looked at himself in the mirror.

 

John stared at himself in the mirror before starting the shower. He and Joey were twins born twenty five minutes apart. He was the younger of the two of them, and he thought it showed. He had just now after seven years apart finally got to see his brother again and even went to far as to move in with him. He was surprised when Joey had decided to take him in. He ran his hands through is short blonde hair making sure all the nuts were gone before stepping into the shower.

 

Outside of the bathroom Joey was having a talk over what had happened with Mokuba.

 

“Mokuba what were you thinking?” He asked pointing to the bath room door. “Why did you do that to John?” Mokuba just smiled innocently despite the still wet ice cream scooper in his hand and the bag of nuts in the other. “Mokuba where did you put the can of whipped cream?” Mokuba just smiled. “Seto's not going to be happy when he comes home to see you used all his whipped cream again. You know how picky he is when it comes to that kind of stuff. “Mokuba just go to your room. I'll deal with you when Seto comes home. Just go.” He said sending Mokuba on his way.

 

Joey went off to get supplies to clean the floor where Mokuba and John had spilt their ice cream mess not to mention the hand and feet prints. Just as Joey finished cleaning, the bathroom door opened and John appeared with a towel around his shoulders covering his back and one around his hips.

 

“Hey, big brother, I'm sorry I overreacted. It's I've just been having trouble sleeping at night these last few days and I was finally getting some sleep when Mokuba disturbed me. I didn't mean to get so mad at him.” Joey nodded before allowing his brother to head to his room to dress.

 

After a few minutes Joey went to John's room and knocked on the door. John mumbled for him to come in. Joey walked over to his brother who was now lying on his bed staring at his now empty bottle of sleeping pills. John rubbed his eyes before throwing the bottle on the dresser with all his other medications. Successfully knocking them over, Joey without a word went over and reorganized them.

 

“John what's bothering you?” Joey asked looking at his brother sadly. He hated to see him suffering like this.

 

“I'm tried of being alone, Joey. I just want someone to be with me. But after what Nathan did to me… I can't be with anyone. I don't trust anyone anymore. What am I going to do?” John covered his face in his hands and refused to look at Joey.

 

“John, Jonathan everything will be okay. I promise. You're going to find the perfect someone for you. And forget Nathan he went to jail remembers and he won't be getting out any time soon. I promise. I know because Seto promised me.” Joey said reassuring his worried sibling. “Besides, Mom and Serenity will becoming up here in a month during Serenity's winter break to spend time with us so she can see you again. It's been so long after all and dad's even coming. He got leave from the force to come spend time with us too. We'll be one big family again just like you remember and you'll feel better promise.”

“Sure, Joseph.” John replied sarcastically. “But that's not what I want. I want what you have, someone that loves you… someone that's in love with you.”

 

Joey pats his brother's head. “You have no idea what I went through to be with Seto, and to have what we have now. But trust me, when the time comes someone will love you too. Little brother don't worry so much, I'm sure someone out there in the world was made just for you.”

 

John just laid his head in Joey's chest. “I sure hope so. I'm tried of being all alone.” They just stayed that way until John fell asleep and Joey put his head on a pillow and tucked him into bed. He felt sorry for his brother, he was suffering so much.

 

Just then Joey's personal phone rang in his room. Joey ran to answer it before John woke up.

 

“Hello, Joey Wheeler's private line, who's calling?” Mokuba answered almost as if trained to do so.

 

“Mokuba I said to go to your room not hang around in mine.” Joey hissed but his attitude changed as soon as Seto's name. “Mokuba leave I can take it from here.” He said shooing the young boy from his room. “And leave John alone, he's tired. He'll be ready to play with you again when he wakes up. Promise.”

 

“Okay Joey by.” He said leaving the room and running down the hall and out of sight.

 

[Phone conversation]

 

[Hello Dragon, how did the deal go?] Joey's voice full of concern but still sounding cheery.

 

[Everything went fine Puppy, I'm even coming home early I should be their in another twenty minutes to be exact.] Seto's calm voice replied.

 

[Okay, I'll see you when you come home then. I love you.] Joey replied.

 

[Alright, see you soon. And I love you too.] Joey smiled just like he knew Seto was smiling. After he hangs up the phone he walked downstairs to find Mokuba talking with Ryou and Malik. They must be here early. Their shifts didn't start for another two hours. He also noticed Bakrua, Akiefa, Marik and Mariku putting all their shopping stuff away and head to the kitchen. Nothing really unusual at least not until he noticed a fifth member with them. He could have sworn it was Seto except his hair was way to long. He then noticed the way Mokuba was looking at him and then the way the stranger looked at Mokuba.

 

“Ryou what's going on here?” Joey asked but before Ryou could answer Seto walked through the door.
