the most, you just let me down! You let me down and I never understood that! "
Yuki now stands in front of him with a pale face. "You are right, Seto, it was a mistake. I didn't know anything about the conversation between you and my father. If I had known what he told you, I would have recognized earlier what the reason for your behavior was and maybe everything would be different then Come. But you have to understand me, I had to make a difficult decision back then ... and it was obviously the wrong one. "
"decision?", Kaiba gasps," What decision? You dumped me ice cold! ", his voice trembles," I was on the ground and you gave me another kick. I really thought we were ... friends. "His voice breaks. He hastily turns away.
The three of them look indecisively at his back. Dare you can see his shoulders tremble. Yuki tentatively takes a few steps towards the young man. "Seto ...?", She tries again, "I'm really terribly sorry! But you have to understand, I just ... had no other choice!"
Kaiba hastily runs his hand over his face then turns back to her. He shakes his head weakly. There is now nothing in his blue eyes but deep pain in his soul. "Why Yuki?", He asks in a hollow voice, "Why did you do this to me? Why did you let me down when I needed you most?"
Now it's Yuki who can't bring herself to answer. She bites her lip and looks away. Your hands are clenched into fists. "I ... can't tell you," she finally utters. But Kaiba is not satisfied with that. In a few steps he is with her and roughly grabs her wrist.
“Why did you do that[/i]?” He yells at her, “finally tell mewhy!” She tries in vain to wriggle out of his grip. "I can't!" She yells back. There is pain in her eyes too. "Tell me! On the spot!", His grip is getting tighter and his eyes also hold her captive, so that there is no escape. Yuki jerks her face away. She can no longer bear the deep despair in his gaze. "Leave me alone! I just can't tell you!" She shrugs off again.
But now he also grabs her other arm with his hand, so that she has no choice but to look at him. But what she sees leaves her speechless at first. A single tear rolls down the cheek of her childhood friend, but it reveals more of the pain and suffering of the otherwise proud young man than he could or would ever express in words.
"Please Yuki!", He whispers, "I just have to know. I think you owe me that! We were best friends. We did everything together and shared everything. Then why did you beg your father not to join us?" adopt? "Yuki looks with pounding heart into his moist, shining blue eyes and sees clearly how consuming he is looking for an answer to this question.
No, she can no longer bear that pleading look. With a jerk she breaks free. He no longer struggles. Now she can feel her eyes fill with water. "Because ...", she begins hesitantly, but then it breaks out of her with a sob, "Because I didn't want you as a brother!"
For a moment the only sound that can be heard is Yuki's desperate attempt to hold back her tears.All eyes are now on her. Noah's face is blank and doesn't reveal what he's thinking. Yami, however, has the surprise written all over her face. I just don't understand! he thinks to himself, that doesn't make any sense! "Why doesn't she want him as a brother?", Yugi now speaks up again, "She said the whole time how good she was friends with him. The two stood apparently quite close and yet it is not enough to take him into her family?"" Strange indeed! ", admits Yami," The way she has performed so far, I had assumed that The friendship with Kaiba was and is very important to her. She's been trying to repair the gap between them all the time, why is she poking him again now? "His eyes widen when something suddenly occurs to him:" Unless ... "
Kaiba doesn't seem to have noticed any of this. His gaze is still fixed on Yuki. But now he turns away stiffly: "So I was right! You have never been serious about our friendship. Somehow I always suspected that, but after that day I was certain.
"Suddenly I realized the whole truth and as much as it hurt at first, I learned to accept the truth and finally to see everything we had experienced together from the right perspective. I came to terms with the fact that friendship is only an illusion and ultimately only leads to disappointment, and I swore to myself that something like this would never happen to me again!
"Anyone who relies on friends is relied on, that is what I realized at the time. So I decided, for the best of myself and Mokuba, to become someone who doesn't need to rely on friends. Anyone who brings emotions into play makes oneself vulnerable I would never be hurt again, that was clear to me! "Yuki listened to him with wet eyes:" Oh, Seto! ", She whispers," What have I done to you? "
Then life comes back into them. You have made up your mind. She makes a quick gesture and a brown wooden door appears next to Kaiba. He looks up in surprise, but before he can really understand what is happening to him, Yuki is already next to him, grabs his arm and vigorously pulls him through the door. "Excuse us for a moment!", She calls out, then the two of them have already disappeared from the view of the other two.
Yami, puzzled, watches the door open in front of her eyes. "What's that supposed to mean now? Where is she going with him?" But then his gaze falls on Noah's face and he raises his eyebrows in surprise. Noah is still standing in the same place and has crossed his arms, but now he's smiling.

Jonouchi grumbles, "Where have the two disappeared to? Right now when it gets exciting!" He slams the monitor housing indignantly."If you keep hitting the phone, we will soon be unable to see anything," says Honda. Jonouchi complains, "I don't care!"
"That's right, this Yuki really pissed him off", confirms Honda, "I already worked up a sweat in this duel, how must Kaiba have fared?" Jonouchi grins and looks up: "Do you have his face seen when he realized that he had lost? I will remember this picture for moments when nothing else can cheer me up. "
"Exactly!", Honda agrees, "She tricked him quite a bit. This little damper was long overdue, don't you think Anzu too?" But the young woman only gives the two of them a disgruntled look. "Hey Anzu, what's wrong?" Asks Jonouchi now. "You two should really be ashamed of yourselves!" She sparkles. The two look at each other puzzled. "Hmh? Didn't I notice something? Why are you so stinky?", Jonouchi wants to know.
"It's easy!", She explains, "If you had paid close attention, you would have noticed that Kaiba is basically just a very poor guy. He has always had a very difficult time in his life and he had to go through a lot. That he has become the way he is, was just his way of dealing with it. And we are really in no way entitled to poke at him behind his back! "
Jonouchi pouts, "I wasn't really mean! He's a disgust, but he probably has reasons for it. I just hope that this Atsumi will soon be over with him, or at least show up again , because curiosity kills me! "
