Kyodai's phone rang. "Answer it." Seth ordered.

"Moshi, moshi."

"I guess the bomb is deactivated."

"Hai."

"Did he open the gift?"

"It's, ah, sticking out of the wall, Oyabun-sama..."

"Is it now. How'd it get there?"

"Kaiba-kun threw it...."

"He wasn't pleased then?"

"Nai."

"Oh well..."

Seto and Noa suddenly stepped into the room. "Tell him I'd like to speak with him." Seto ordered sharply.

"Oyabun-sama, Kaiba-kun would like to speak with you." Kyodai told his boss on the other end.

"Give him the phone."

"Hai...." Kyodai passed the phone to Seto.

"What the fuck are you trying to pull?" Seto hissed into the phone.

"Now, now, Tenshi. Is that any way to speak to your old lover?" Gozaburo inquired.

"Can it, you ass. You're supposed to be dead."

"You didn't think I'd be so stupid as to not have a back-up plan, do you?"

"You didn't look like you expected your unscheduled flight."

I just didn't expect you to be the one to make it!"

"And who's fault was that?"

"Who doesn't know how to listen?"

"Who said I had to listen to you?"

"I did!"

"And your vote counts for squat."

"To you."

"And to everyone else I know."

"And who all is that? Mokuba?"

"You think I have no friends, like you?"

"I don't think, I know."

"You wish."

"Are you saying the infamous Kaiba Seto has friends?!"

Seto looked up at Yami and Bakura. "Yami, Bakura, do I have friends?" He inquired.

"Yes." Yami said.

"Only when you're not pissing me off." Bakura growled.

"Bakura, when isn't someone pissing you off?" Seth asked.

"Stop it!" Yami ordered. The two rivaling yamis settled on glaring dagger at one another.

Seto rolled his eyes and went back to the phone. "That's a yes."

"Riiight...." Gozaburo groaned. "How about we meet, face-to-face?"

"Why?"

"Because I'd like to see you again."

"I'm a busy man."

"Boy, you're only seventeen."

"I'm running Kaiba Corp."

"And who's fault is that?"

"Yours."

"How so?"

"You adopted me, baka!"

"Meet me in the park in ten minutes."

"Fine." Seto hung up and handed Kyodai back his phone. "We're meeting in the park in ten. Yami, Bakura, you may tell your hikaris as you wish, and I as you accompany me. Noa, Seth, you're with me." Seto ordered. Then he concentrated. The Rod lit up and the three costumes it controlled disappeared to be replaced with normal clothing. Then the three lovers left the room, as Yami and Bakura opened their links to their hikaris. Kyodai and Shimai stared at one another in shock.

~~^**^~~

Seto sat on one of the park benches, looking very bored. Yami and Bakura stood behind the bench, guarding Kyodai and Shimai. Noa and Seth stood, hidden, in the trees somewhere. Gozaburo walked down the path alone, looking interested in his adopted son and the boy's four companions. "Well, well. I see you don't trust your strength against me." He teased.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Yami and Bakura chose to come, bakayaro."

"Watch it, Seto." Gozaburo growled.

"Ooh, look, you remember my name!" Seto shrugged. "Good for you." He nodded to Yami and Bakura. The two yamis stepped away into the woods, fading in with the trees. Kyodai and Shimai fled, as they'd been ordered earlier. "We're alone now. What do you want?" Seto growled.

"Let's walk." Gozaburo smiled.

Seto rolled his eyes again and stood. "Whatever."

Gozaburo narrowed his eyes, humor gone. "What if I told you your brother is dead if you don't cut the your attitude?"

"Not if you're dead." Seto returned coldly, apparently not phased by the threat.

"You'd really kill your only living father?"

"Again." Seto narrowed his eyes sharply. "It would make up for Trigne."

"Oh, so you found out about that?"

"I hate you."

"Or so you've said." Gozaburo glanced around at where Seto had led them. "Where are you taking me?"

"Here." Noa said, coming out of the trees.

Gozaburo's eyes widened. "Noa?!"

"Back-up plan." Noa smirked.

"Excuse you! I made the back-up plan!" Seth called, jumping down from a high tree. "You were long dead by then, remember?"

"Hogosha-chan, yamero." Seto grumbled.

"But, Seto..." Seth whined.

"Yamero!" Seto made a face. "Whiny little crybaby..."

"Am not!"

"Give me it." Noa growled. Seth handed the sugar over reluctantly. "In front of Otosan, too!"

Seth snickered and looked at Gozaburo. "I say we kill him."

"Your vote doesn't count when influenced by sugar." Noa grumbled.

"He's by-passed the sugar." Seto pointed out.

"How can you tell?"

"How can't you?!"

"Now who are acting like three-year-olds?" Seth grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Sugar induced?" Noa asked calmly.

"Yup." Seto nodded.

"Thought so." Noa grinned and gave Seth a light smack on the side of his head. "By-pass it again, onegai."

"Don't hit me." Seth growled. Then he looked at Gozaburo. "I despise you, Gozaburo. Why Seto agreed to meet with you is beyond me. But, let me warn you now, lay a finger on him or Noa in a way I disapprove of, and you'll regret it." He narrowed his eyes. "And you'll never have a chance to defend yourself." He smiled at his two lovers. "If you need me, I'll be here." He mumbled, then faded from sight.

"Who the fuck was that?!" Gozaburo shouted, his eyes wide and face pale from the threat.

"My yami, Seth." Seto shrugged.

Noa walked over and poked his father. "Yup. He's solid." He informed Seto.

"I can dream, can't I?" Seto grumbled.

Noa shrugged and narrowed his eyes at his father. "I thought you were leaving Seto-chan and Moku-chan alone, Papa."

"I was." Gozaburo smirked.

"I told you he has no sense of honesty." Seto growled, trading glares with his adopted father.

"Look who has no morals." Gozaburo returned.

"I kill killers. You kill innocent people. Who has no morals again?" Seto countered sharply.

"You killed your only father!"

"I killed a man who beat and raped me, beat my innocent and defenseless brother, and killed my boyfriend." Seto growled. "No such man deserves to live, in any place or time."

Gozaburo rolled his eyes. "Your boyfriend didn't have to get in the way."

"You woulda shot him anyway."

"I didn't shoot him."

"You asked for himto be killed, yaro."

"So?"

"Would you two stop?!" Noa cried.

"Gomen..." Seto mumbled.

Gozaburo glared at his son. "Like father like son?" He inquired.

"Huh?" Noa blinked up at Gozaburo, his understanding nil.

Seto got it. "You're a fucking bastard, Gozaburo. Scarab-chan, come here. I don't want you near him." Noa, still confused, walked over to Seto. The taller teen enfolded Noa in a protective hug.

Gozaburo snickered. "Just as I thought. Who's on top?"

Noa gaped, getting it suddenly. Seto let out a growl. "You're pissing me off." He warned.

"Like I'm scared of you." Gozaburo smirked.

Seto smiled mischievously. "You should be."

///Seto!\\\ Seth shouted. ///That bitch is at the mansion!\\\

/Fuck! Be right there!\ Seto called back. "Scarab-chan, come on." He ordered, turning to go.

"Where are you two going?" Gozaburo called as Seto started off.

"The mansion." Noa shrugged, then started after Seto. //Don't wait! Just go! I'll be fine!\\ Noa ordered Seto.

/Okay!\ Seto fled, his long legs quickly carrying him out of sight.

Gozaburo grabbed Noa roughly, stopping the boy. "Explain." He ordered.

"I don't have time for you!" Noa cried, pulling away.

Gozaburo growled and grabbed Noa again, this time tightening his grip. "You'll make time. Now."

"Lemme go!" Noa cried, struggling against his father.

Gozaburo narrowed his eyes. "Iie." Then he forced Noa into a brutal kiss.

"Hanash te!" Noa gasped, struggling harder.

Gozaburo's hand flew across Noa's face, leaving a bright red mark. "Shut up."

"I was hoping you'd changed." Noa whispered, water leaking from his eyes. "I wanted you to be different. Nice." He looked up sharply, eyes hard. The scarab on his chest glowed the same angry blue as his eyes. "You have one last chance. Let go." His voice was chilled.

Gozaburo, eyes wide in shock, let go, taking a step back. "By Kami... Noa, what's with you?"

"What do you think, yaro?" Noa spat. "Don't touch me unless I say you can. I'm not the pitiful boy who got killed in a car crash, and I'm not putting up with your shit. Fuck off." Then he turned and fled into the trees.

"I don't understand...." Gozaburo whispered, then hurried to follow his son.

~~^**^~~

Jyou and Honda were standing before Otogi and Yuugi, guarding them from the three men leering at the four. Ryou was fending off a fourth man with his knife, desperately trying to get to the nearly-cornered Mokuba, who was on the other side of the room. The man with Mokuba smirked at the boy as Mokuba's back met wall on two sides. The boy, now cornered, let out a whimper of pure fear.

Just as the man touched Mokuba's face, the game room door slammed open. Everyone looked up, stopping their movements. Seto and Seth stood in the doorway, Yami and Bakura behind them. "Get out now, or face the consequences." Seto growled, eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Consequences." The man with Mokuba decided, then returned to the raven-haired boy. The other men, all working for Yugha, nodded and followed the first's example.

The man with Mokuba suddenly let out a cough and fell to his knees, blood dribbling from his mouth, one of Seto's new throwing knives in his back. "So be it." Seto hissed, his voice icy, matching his eyes.

The others in the room backed away from their victims as Seto and Seth made room for Yami and Bakura in the room. Mokuba jumped over the dead man and fled into Seto's arms. "Oniisan!" He sobbed.

"Get out. Now." Seto offered the other men as Yami and Bakura hurried over to their hikaris and the other three boys sighed in relief, leaning against one another for support. The men chose to flee.

Seth walked over and placed a hand on Mokuba's shoulder. The boy turned to him for a hug. They'd already dealt with the others in the mansion. Yugha had, apparently, fled. "It's okay, Moku...." Seth whispered.

"We have another guest." Noa announced, walking in. Gozaburo walked behind him.

Mokuba burst into tears and returned to Seto's arms. Seto and Seth glared at Gozaburo. "We'd just calmed him down." Seth growled.

Gozaburo glanced over at the dead man. "One of your killers, Seto?" He inquired.

Seto let out a growl. "Seth, Noa, escort the smart-ass into another room." The two gladly compiled.

Gozaburo walked in front of Seth and Noa, back into the living room. Cook and Kukkî were just coming out to collect more of the uneaten food. Gozaburo smirked. "Konnichi wa, Cook." He called.

Cook looked up and paled, a thin `meep' escaping her lips. Kukkî frowned at the man. "Who the hell are you?" She asked darkly while Seth and Noa glared holes into Gozaburo's back.

"Kaiba Gozaburo. You?" Gozaburo replied coolly.

"Yama Kukkî. Aren't you dead?" Kukkî growled. She didn't like this man. "Cook, why don't you go back into the kitchen." She suggested softly. Cook nodded and fled.

Noa gave the back of his father's head a solid wack. "Fucking bastard." He growled.

Gozaburo turned on his son. "I oughta..." He stopped when he felt the blade at his throat.

"Continue." Seth hissed. "I'm interested to hear what you have to say before I slit your throat."

"Let him go." Seto ordered, walking out. Seth slid away from the man, twirling his Rod. Seto gave the older Kaiba a measuring look. "How long will it take you to figure out you're not wanted here?" He inquired of his adopted father as Noa and Seth moved to the CEO's sides. "Will I be forced to kick you out?"

Gozaburo narrowed his eyes. "You, obviously, haven't changed."

"And, as Noa-chan said, neither have you." Seto pointed out.

Gozaburo's eyes widened. "How did you..."

"Think, moron." Seth growled.

"I am thinking, you ass! There is no possible way Seto could know what happened!" Gozaburo shouted.

Seth smirked. "I really should kill him. I warned him I would." He told his hikari and Noa.

"Goza-san, do you believe in magic?" Seto inquired comfortably.

Gozaburo blinked, shocked, not only by the question, but by the use of his old nickname as well. "Yes."

"There's a shock..." Seth growled.

"Hush." Seto soothed, then turned back to the older Kaiba. "Why?"

Gozaburo frowned. "None of your business."

"I'm curious, and it's your live on the line here, not mine." Seto pointed out.

"Obviously, you know how do get what you want." Gozaburo growled.

"I learned from the best." Seto smirked.

"Why would you ask a question like that, anyway?" Gozaburo grumbled.

"Just, because. You asked how I knew what happened. Why do you believe in magic?" Seto said calmly.

Gozaburo gaped at him, the truth seeking in. But, even though he knew his two sons believed in magic, he didn't know how they'd react to the true. "Do you believe in reincarnation?" He asked softly, eyes searching Seto's for a reaction.

Seto laughed and grinned at Seth. "Told ya!"

"Shut up!" Seth whined.

"Both of you, cut it out!" Noa called, trying to stop the argument before it started.

Seto stuck out his tongue. "You claimed I was bullshitting! I was right!"

"Suck my dick!" Seth replied sharply.

Seto smirked. "Seriously?"

Seth's eyes widened and he wacked Seto on the head. "And you were yelling at me!!"

Seto shrugged. "It's your fault."

"It is not!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" Noa shouted at the top of his lungs. The two shut up.

Kukkî put a hand to her forehead. "Not teaching him indeed!"

Seto shared an annoyed look with his aunt. "I'm not teaching him anything! He and Seth are trading!" Seto complained.

"We are not!! And Noa keeps giving Moku stuff to use against me!!" Seth whined

"Because you're always being an ass!" Noa returned.

"I'm an ass?! What about you?!" Seth cried.

"I'm not an ass! I'm the innocent one, remember!!" Noa teased sharply

"Innocent my dick! You're as innocent as Seto!" Seth growled.

"At least I was never beat!" Noa shouted suddenly. He covered his mouth as soon as he realized what he'd said.

Seth was pale, his voice tight. "Yeah. I love you too." Then he disappeared, shutting himself off from both Noa and Seto.

"Baka, baka, baka, baka..." Noa mumbled, hitting himself on the head with every word.

Seto sighed and hung his head. "Stop hitting yourself. He'll cool off."

Noa bit his lip and fled upstairs. //I'm such a jackass!\\ He cried to Seto before closing himself off.

"Why do I feel like this is my fault?" Seto grumbled to himself. He put up a hand as Gozaburo opened his mouth to speak. "I don't want to hear it."

Gozaburo smirked. "Love problems?" He inquired.

Seto gave him an odd look. "Nothing new, neh?" Gozaburo startled. Seto sighed and shook his head. "You know what, whatever you came here looking for, it's long gone. Your son hates you for doing what you did, and my yami doesn't quite like having you in the mansion, or anywhere else on the Earth, for that matter. I don't care what you do, as long as you keep away from Mokuba, my friends, and my family. You want to talk later? I'll be at the office at my normal time tomorrow. Come in disguise. Now, if you don't mind, I have to force this suicide idea from your son's head, and try and patch this shit up." And, with that, Seto spun around and hurried upstairs.

Gozaburo blinked after him. "Oooookay..." He shook his head and left the mansion quietly. As he got outside the gate, he glanced up at the roof. Seto and Noa stood there, Noa clinging to Seto. Gozaburo could have sworn he'd saw tears on both the boy's faces. Then he continued down the sidewalk, his eyes glazed as he assimilated all he'd learned.

Noa was alive and with Seto and some person named Seth, whom Gozaburo felt like he knew. This was all too odd....
