Chapter 12

"Where's Mokuba? I haven't seen him all day" Sankano said, she sounded like nothing was wrong. Seto peeked over to the porch to where his aunt was, she had her head burry in her hands and crying loudly as her body shook with very sob.

Sankano left the house, to put Seto and Mokuba's duffle bags in the car, still clenching his violin case, Seto made his way up the white carpeted stairs to the second floor hallway. He glanced around the new area; he had never been on the second floor of Sankano's house before.

There was a small door at the end of the hallway, Seto made his way over trying to be very quiet. He opened the sliding door, to a linen closet, were his brother sat, with his hands buried in his knees,

Crying.

Seto reached his hand out, "Mokie what's wrong?" Mokuba pulled away from his brother

"Seto, you broke your promise!! You said Auntie Kira was never gonna send us to an orphanage! And where are we going today?! An orphanage!!" Mokuba screamed at Seto.

Seto sank down next to his little brother. "Mokie, I know I promised, and I was wrong, I always kinda knew that Auntie Kira was never really keep us--"

"Then why did you promise!!"

"Because I really wanted to believe Auntie Kira wanted to keep us" Seto explained

"But she doesn't"

"She does. She's on the porch right now crying, because she can't keep us. We have no money, no home--"

"But we could live here" Mokuba insisted

"We can't, Sankano won't want Auntie Kira to stay here for long," Seto sighed

"Why?" asked a tearful Mokuba

"I don't know Mokie, but if we stayed, she'd kick us out, then we'd be homeless and we already have a lot of debt."

"But I'd do that if we could stay with Auntie Kira" Mokuba pouted

"So would I, but you're five and I'm only ten, were still kids and I don't think Auntie Kira wants to kids to be living on the streets, at least at the orphanage we'll have a roof over our heads and food"

"But I'm scared, Nii-sama"

"So am I Mokie, but we have to be strong, I'll always be there for you okay?"

Mokuba burst out into tears

"Oh Mokie! Whats wrong, did I say something that bothered you? I'm sorry Mokie…." Seto said in distress.

"No it's not that Seto, you're so strong and brave, I'm such a coward" Mokuba sobbed

Seto pulled Mokuba up into his arms and hugged him tightly "You're a wonderful person Mokuba, I love and no brother could ask for a better one, and whats all this crap about not being brave? You're one of the bravest people I've ever know, Mokie! You're so young but we've gone threw some much and you can still smile! I can't! That takes a lot of guts for some one like you to do Mokie! You're very brave!" Seto said, tears running into his eyes, but Seto reluctantly pushed them away.

"I still don't think I am" Mokuba said, a small smile ran to his face

"Look! You're smiling right as you're crying! That takes guts Mokie, and I mean it! And if you don't feel brave them if we can both make it to the orphanage together, then you ARE brave, and you're brave right now too, and don't let other people -or the voices in your head- tell you other wise, okay?"

"Okay"

"Hey Mokie, I have a opposition to make you, since the promise I made you a few weeks ago was broken, why don't we make a new promise!"

"Of what?"

"That we'll stay together to matter what, and I'll find a good family for us as long as you keep smiling for me…okay?"

A big grin came across Mokuba's face "Okay!"

Hand in hand both brothers came out of the darkness of the closet, to the light of the morning.
