::Flashback::
Rain plattered against the windows of a small house outside of the city. The rain was falling harshly against the glass, causing the interest of a small black haired toddler. His own stormy eyes reflected the dark clouds that hung overhead. His small arms resting against the windowsill supporting his head. The house was filled with a warm golden glow within its walls, contrasting the colors of the sky. The small boy tryed his way with the window, but the lock kept it in place. All of this was in the eyes of a small brown haired boy, blue eyes gleaming toward the toddlers cute curiousity.
Seto smiled approching his younger brother, holding his shoulders. He smiled as the little one smiled up at him with a childish giggle. Their blue eyes met and cause them both to smile and laugh. Seto refrained him from messing with the lock. Now taking ahold of the smooth tiny hands in his own. He lowered his head to Mokubas level and grinned.
"Naughty Mokuba, we dont want you getting wet now do we? The rain may flood the house if the window is left open." Seto warned chuckling softly.
"But Seto, I want to touch the rain. It looks so pretty, the sky giving a bath." he stated with big eyes.
Seto laughed at his brothers wild imagination. Though it seemed silly, it helped his own creativity. Mokuba got him thinking about stuff that had flew from his mouth. Now he too gazed out the window, staring off into the vast space of the clouds. Then a set of footsteps entered the room from the hall. A tall slender man who shared resemblence to Seto stood in the living room. Fully dressed in a suit and tie, his fingers making work in straightening it. A briefcase sat beside his legs as he faced his two boys.
"Enjoying the storm?" he asked with a chuckle." Well I'm off to work, I will be back by morning in the latest. Seto, take good care of your brother. Make sure he goes to bed and eats dinner, you too." he demanded once he got his tie straight.
Seto gave a nod to his father letting go of Mokuba. He smiled at his father, he looked rather handsome in his work clothes. Not to mention their father was being so brave. It was hard on Seto after their mother died, and Mokuba seemed to have felt guilty once he learned his mom died after he was born. But Mokuba never showed this. Their father still cried sometimes at night, but he was still brave. Ever since they were alone he began working harder then he use to. But he loved their father none the less. Mokuba rushed away from Seto to hug their fathers legs, waddling with his small legs and training pants.
"Love you daddy." Mokuba said happily.
"I love you too."their father replied.
Kissing Mokubas cheek softly as he took him in his arms. Mokuba laughed as his dads coruse yet gentle lips kissed his cheek. Once he had Mokuba in hand he approched Seto and ruffled his hair before kissing his forehead. Long brown strans pushed to one side, it was near time for a haircut. His dad smiled at him, looking him in the eyes. Mokuba held onto their father by the shoulder, also looking at Seto.
"I love you too Seto."he whispered with a kind smile.
"Love you too daddy."he answered returning a kiss on his fathers shaved cheek.
Once that was done, he placed Mokuba down beside Seto and waved farewell to them. Opening his umbrella and walking out the door. The crashing of the rain entering the house from the open door. Seto walked over to the door with his younger brothers hand in his own as they both waved. Once his fathers car drove out of sight, Seto closed the door, sealing their fathers fate.

The night was long, and it was near Mokubas bed time. Seto had let Mokuba stay up a few moments longer. Mokuba had been wrapped up in shuffling through his brothers deck, admiring the pictures. Seto worked at a video game while he watched his brother carefully. Mokuba had been doing doodles of some of the creatures in his deck. And each one was given to Seto to keep. Then a knock came to the door, catching both of the young boys attention.
Seto was scared to answer when his father was not home. But he remembered what he was told to do in a situation like this. Placing his game to a pause, he stood up.
"Mokuba, stay here alright?"Seto whispered before walking to the door.
Seto placed a few boxs in front of the door to stand on. Peaking though the small hole to see a man with a suit.
"Who is it?"he asked.
"My name is sargent Nawaku, I'm with the police department. I need to speak with you son." he replied.
"Prove that your with the police. And tell me what this is about."Seto demanded rather harshly. Now becoming protective of Mokubas safety.
The man flashed the badge in the hole for Seto to see. His face looked cold and serious, but it was also an honest face. Once the man placed the badge back on his coat, Seto opened the door. Mokuba trotted to his side, grasping Setos pant leg gently staring up at the large male.
"I have some terrible news..reguarding your father.."he stated.
