Prologue - The Incident

Seto Kaiba did not like hospitals. He especially did not like being
a patient at a hospital. But here he was, confined to bed. For the
first time in his twenty years, he totally lacked control of his
life.

"Seto, *please* stop seething," Mokuba pleaded from beside his
brother's bed. "You're here in the first place because of stress,
and all this tension isn't helping things at all!"

The brunet rolled his eyes, but he knew his little brother was
right. With a sigh, he forced himself to relax. Dr. Tsume would be
here any minute, and Seto was sure that he'd be allowed to leave for
the mansion. Kaiba Corp was going to be extremely behind
schedule...he'd already missed a whole week of work and he couldn't
imagine how far behind production would be.

Unfortunately, thinking about his company only got his blood
pressure going again - causing the annoying, constant beep of the
monitor beside him to speed up. Mokuba shot him a stern glare and
Seto sighed. "Sorry, Mokie," he apologized softly, reaching out to
ruffle his little brother's hair with a hint of a smile on his
face. "You don't have to worry so much, you know. I'm going to be
fine."

"That's right," Dr. Tsume added from the doorway, surprising them
both. "Your brother will be fine, young master Kaiba, as long as he
takes a very long vacation."

Seto's eyes instantly widened. "Doctor, what you're asking is
impossible. My company-"

"-is going to take a back seat for once," Mokuba finished, cutting
Seto off with another glare - one the brunet would later admit that
he was proud of. "He'll take a very long vacation," the raven haired
teen assured the doctor. "Your health is more important than Kaiba
Corp, big brother. I don't care if I have to send you to the
moon...you are going to get healthy."

The elderly doctor smiled, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his
nose. "With Mokuba around to keep you in check, I'm sure we won't
have a problem tackling this stress of yours, Master Kaiba. I'd say
a month should do, at the very least. No work, Seto. I mean that. No
phone calls, no emails, no 'quick trips to the office'. You are to
disconnect yourself from that company for one month and get your
body back under control."

Kaiba was about to protest, but he knew that it was useless. He knew
he had to get better...even if it was for the sake of Mokuba -
especially if it was for the sake of Mokuba, he corrected himself.
He would not let his brother down. Not now, and not ever.

And if that meant he had to leave his company to its own devices for
a whole month...the brunet shivered at the thought. But he would do
it. For Mokuba, he would do anything.

***

One whole week went by, and Seto soon realized that he was bored to
death - without his work, he had nothing to do. Mokuba was also
starting to get frustrated with his brother's boredom. Since Seto
couldn't seem to amuse himself, the younger Kaiba found that he was
practically babysitting his brother - which included trying to keep
him away from any sort of technology that Seto could use to connect
to Kaiba Corp. It all came to and end, though, when Mokie found the
perfect solution...

As soon as Mokuba had used his puppy dog eyes, Seto had known he was
doomed. So here he was, twelve short hours later, with all of his
bags packed and his private jet gassed up and ready to fly. The two
Kaiba brothers exchanged their goodbyes and, with a promise to stay
away from phones and computers, Seto was on his way to the Feel Good
Therapy and Spa Resort where he would spend the next three weeks.
Little did he know that those three weeks held more in store for him
than he could ever imagine.
