Well as everyone, I hope, knows Halloween is coming up soon, or at lest it was when I posted this fic. Halloween is so my fave holiday a whole month of horror movies and the occult. I like Christmas second best just because I like the happy spirits and pretty colored lights. That so not the point gomen, I lost it for a little while. Now where was I…oh yeah Halloween. I know a lot of people do holiday related fics, and fan art to, that people really only read, or look at so depending, around whatever holiday it is based on or if they are just in a certain holiday mood. With that in mind I am not excepting a ton of reviews for this fic. Mostly KaiJou fans or people in the Halloween mood. This was just an idea I had recently after watching a commercial for Romeo and Juliet, the newer one with Leo in the knight outfit, and just daydreaming too damn much.

"Niisama do you know what tomorrow is?" Mokuba asked watching his elder brother type, nothing new to him.
"Sunday, why?" Seto asked not looking up, he was lying on his stomach, ankles crossed above him.
"No, I meant what important day is it?" Mokuba corrected himself, sitting down on his bother's bed in front of the laptop. "Don't tell me you forgot?!" He demanded when his brother did not answer him right away, he knew he had his brother's attention.
Seto looked up at his little brother, "What are you talking about Mokuba?" Frowning slightly in confusion at him, not sure what h was upset about.
"It's Halloween. Niisama you really have been working too hard," Mokuba answered, throwing his hands up.
"So it's…oh," Seto trailed off frowning, what his brother was upset about suddenly coming to him..
"Niisama you did forget!" Mokuba sniffed, afraid his brother was planning on working.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Niisama can I go Trick or Treating on Sunday?" Mokuba asked tugging on his brother's duster, "Niisama?"
"One sec Okay? Look you do what you are told, or I'll find someone who will. Am I understood? Good." Seto sighed pushing his chair from his desk crossing his long legs. "So Mokuba what did you want?" He asked giving his brother his full attention.
"This Sunday is Halloween, and I was wandering if I could go out Trick or Treating like all the other kids? I know you're busy so I'll understand if you say no," Mokuba answered head down.
Seto reached down, grabbing his little brother and setting him in his lap. "You really want to go don't you?" He asked lifting Mokuba's chin with a gentle finger.
Mokuba nodded. "Yes, but work…" He started voice sad, he could not demand his brother blow off work just for candy.
"Is never more important to me then you akei (dear brother). If you really want to go then we'll go on one condition." Seto informed him, there was nothing more important to him then his baby brother.
"What is it Niisama?" Mokuba asked happy beyond all reason.
Seto smiled, "Nothing Egyptian all right?" He asked only half joking, it was a little to close to real life for his liking.
Mokuba smiled hugging his brother, "Nothing Egyptian I promise. Oh Niisama thank you so much!"
Seto smiled stroking his little brother's soft hair. "Shh…you deserve to have some normalcy in your life." He soothed hitting his com, "Isono?"
"Here sir," Isono answered.
"Tomorrow you will take Mokuba shopping understand?" Seto asked instead of demanding since Isono did have a brain.
"Of course sir. Anything else?" Isono asked.
"No, not at the moment. Out," Seto sighed as he leaned back in his chair, Mokuba dozing against him. 'So much for work..' He smiled stroking Mokuba's hair, "Sweet dreams akei."
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Niisama how could you?! You promised me!" Mokuba cried outraged, "You lied!" He slapped the laptop away.
"Hey?!" Seto cried grabbing it before it hit the floor. "Mokuba I did forget, but I did not lie. I didn't make plans or anything I've just been busy," He explained sitting back up. "Please don't be mad at me Moki?"
Mokuba looked up at his brother sniffing, "I can still go?" He asked not daring to hope, "Even after…?"
Seto smiled stoking his hair, "Yes Moki. We will both go just like I said. I'm sorry my work has been taking up so much of my time lately."
Mokuba shook his head, "It's all right really Niisama." He assured his big brother before hugging him. "I love you so much Niisama, I know you only want me to be happy but don't forget about your own Okay?"
Seto laughed hugging him, "Like you'd let me."
"Niisama do get some sleep all right, you won't get a chance to tomorrow night," Mokuba reminded him smiling.
"Hai Mokuba, one more hour then I'll go to sleep I promise," Seto assured him.
"Okay one more hour. Good night Niisama," Mokuba said hugging him one last time.
"Good night Moki," Seto whispered kissing his forehead. "You know the hour doesn't start till you leave right?" He teased, not that he would mind working while hugging his brother, he had done it before.
Mokuba smiled back, "I know." He hopped off the bed and walked out. 'At lest he's smiling again.' He walked down the hall dialing a number, "Meet me tomorrow night."
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Oniichan do you think the others will be out too?" Shizuka asked spreading out her wings on the floor. "I mean I know Yugi will be out and so will Anzu but…"
"Sure sis. After Trick or Treating we're all suppose to go to the Hunted House Party." Jounouchi answered, she would have a great time with all their friends this year.
"Can I come too? Oh please Oniichan?" Shizuka pleaded looking up, she loved spending time with all of her brother's crazy friends.
"How can I deny an angel? As long as you aren't too tried you can come too," Jounouchi promised. "So tell me again why a knight?" He asked knowing his little sister had her reasons whatever they might be.
"Because knights are valiant and brave just like you. Plus they slay big mean dragons," Shizuka answered smiling.
Jounouchi smiled right back, "Slaying dragons does sound fun."
Shizuka nodded before frowning slightly, "Not until after lunch."
"Oh right food….um…you want to go meet Yug for lunch?" Jounouchi asked, his little buddy would not mind the company.
"Yes, I can't wait to ask him where to go!" Shizuka teased with a smile, she was just so excited.
"Hey now?!" Jounouchi muttered in protest, hurt mostly faked.
"I know you know your junk food Oniichan, but Yugi has lived here longer," Shizuka reminded him smiling.
"Good point. I should hit him up too," Jounouchi decided nodding, "Yeah." He dialed a number, "Yo Yug! Yeah. We'll so meet you there. Ja. OK let's move little angel."
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Actually I have a map," Yugi said pulling a piece of paper from his school bag. "You see the red represents good chocolate houses." He pointed to the red lines and dots, which marked entire streets as well as individual houses. "Purple is hard candy. Blue is a mix. Yellow is candy bars. Orange is for really good homemade stuff," Yugi explained pointing at and explaining each color in turn each color in turn.
"Yug what's the brown for?" Jounouchi asked impressed with the detail of the map.
"Oh don't go there. No good candy," Yugi answered. "Here take it I got one for everyone. On second thought take two," He said reaching into his school bag to grab another map.
"You are a true friend little buddy!" Jounouchi cried hugging the map, tears streaming down his face. Yugi just laughed along with Shizuka. "Ooh foods here!"
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Dear Mokuba. Here is a copy of a map Yugi gave us. Stick to the yellow line and you will meet up with us. Look for an angel escorted by a knight that will be us. There is also a party after Trick or Treating the gumi will be there, so feel free to come by too. Directions are included, along with another map compliments of Yugi. I've done all I can the rest is up to you. Good Luck, Shizuka. P.s. E-mail me back so I know who or what to look for." Mokuba smiled as clicked Reply.
"Mokuba?" Seto called "Oh here you are. I need to run out for an hour or so all right?" He asked sticking his head in his brother's room.
"All right I'll be ready. Niisama?" Mokuba asked stopping his brother.
"Yes Mokuba?" Seto asked, not surprised he had more to say.
"I think you'd make a handsome prince," Mokuba said smiling.
"A prince huh? You are such a hopeless romantic Moki," Seto teased shaking his head in good humor.
"I know. Go already, I don't want to miss any of the candy," Mokuba playfully ordered.
"I'm going, I'm going. Should I get you anything while I'm out?" Seto asked knowing there would something.
"A Blue Eyes flashlight. I saw them but some other kid grabbed the last one," Mokuba answered looking absolutely adorable, "Please?"
"Not a problem. Ja," Seto called walking off, waving as he did so.
"Ja and hurry back," Mokuba called, not looking up from his typing.
"I will," Seto assured him, use to his brother's absent orders, playful or otherwise.
Mokuba smiled. 'So far so good.' "Dear Shizuka…"
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"So who is hosting this party anyway Jou?" Shizuka asked sweetly, there was a lot she still did not know.
"Um…Somebody with a big ass house does it every year, at lest that's what Yugi said. It's like a tradition around here. There's also this mansion, or whatever, someone owns but like doesn't live in that they let everyone use sometimes." Jounouchi explained, slipping on his light chain mail shirt. "Aren't you getting ready?"
"It won't take me as long, besides you'll need some help with the armor. It's so shiny," Shizuka teased smiling. "Are you planning on blinding the dragons first?"
"Oh come on angel girl. You can take the Divine blinding white light at the end of the tunnel, but not a little mirror like shine? Please?" Jounouchi scoffed picking up the armor that fit over his shoulder and upper arm, "Some angel."
Shizuka huffed, "Oniichan that's mean, really. I hope some handsome prince comes to save me from such an evil knight."
"Princes save Princess and Ladies, not Angels," Jounouchi teased back.
"I am a lady, just an already dead one. The dead need saving sometimes too you know?" Shizuka asked grabbing the other shoulder piece. "When we're done you'll be so much cuter then Leo."
"I have way better hair," Jounouchi said smiling. "Too bad we couldn't get someone to dress up like that black guy. What do you think of Honda in sliver drag?"
"That's scary, really scary. Lift up your arm?" Shizuka ordered, he brother did worry her now and then.
"Sure. So why an angel?" Jounouchi asked as his little sister did the straps securing the armor to his arm.
"Otogi said I would make a perfect angle, because I have such a pretty smile. So I decided to see if he was right. Bakura is the one who suggested the ribbony feathered wings." Shizuka answered moving to his other side. "He said they would suit me better. I'm not really sure why, but I found this pair and they were just so pretty!"
"They are Sis really. So Otogi and Bakura? Any one else?" Jounouchi asked taking a metal cuff similar to Kaiba's, just fake.
"Well yes, Mokuba suggested the dress. We were talking a few days ago at Yugi's, and I told him what I was thinking of going as, and he pointed at this dress in the magazine Anzu was looking through. I guess she was still deciding what she wanted to be." Shizuka answered, taking the cuff and securing it for her brother. "Anzu said I would look great in it so…" She took the other cuff when Jounouchi held it out for her. "Oh and she helped me pick out the shoes."
Jounouchi blinked, "So half the Gumi helped? Did you pick any of it?" He asked, it really did not sound like it.
"Yes my wig. I saw it and just had to get it was so pretty!" Shizuka answered patting his hand. "Is it heavy?"
"Nah, but it is really shiny huh?" Jounouchi commented as he moved his arm catching the light. "Should I wear the leg pieces too?"
Shizuka looked one over, like the shoulder pieces it would cover the front of his leg with a spike that protruded from the knee, some decorative carvings of serpentine dragons ringed the base of the spike just like on the arm and shoulder. "Yes, I think it would look a little silly without them. Once they're on I'm going to go up stairs and change all right?"
"No problem. OK let's finish up so I can get use to this?" Jounouchi suggested handing her a leg piece, it should not take that long.
"Of course Sir Knight," Shizuka teased with a mock curtsy.
"My Lady," Jounouchi teased back bowing.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
Kaiba turned his head as he buttoned a white cuff, "I know all about the over seas accounts and they can wait for a day or so."
"Kaiba-sama what about the productions of less powerful dueling disks for public distribution this Christmas season?" Isono's voice asked over the speaker. "The board is ready to go, we only need to test your prototype."
Kaiba sighed, "I know Isono. Tell those people I will discus it with them at our meeting on Tuesday, that's why we have board meetings." He frowned, "And if they do not like it they can just quit because I run this company my way."
"Will I be able to reach you tonight Kaiba-sama?" Isono asked like a good personal assistant, he wanted to be prepared for anything.
"Yes Isono, my com will be coming with me. Do you anticipate any problems?" Kaiba asked curious, the older man was not entirely dependent on orders to be useful.
"No, but I may need to reach you. The Halo division is still working on a safer version of your VR simulators. So that no one will ever get trapped in the again," Isono answered. "They may want to get you the latest news."
"Understandable. Isono once all the meetings and such are scheduled take tomorrow off," Kaiba said sitting down on his bed. "I won't be coming in so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Yes Kaiba-sama. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Isono asked.
"No, not right now," Kaiba answered slipping a tall black boot on, "I probably won't need you till around ten."
"Have fun tonight Kaiba-sama," Isono said.
"Don't work too hard Isono." Seto said with a smile hanging up before slipping on the other boot.
"You look like one of those guys from a romance novel," Mokuba teased climbing onto Seto's bed behind him, "Very handsome."
"Moki no baka," Seto teased, blinking when Mokuba secured his long cape, "Arigato."
"No big Niisama. I have a route all picked out, Yugi helped with that." Mokuba informed him hugging his shoulders, thankful this time getting Yugi's help would not upset his brother this time.
"I'm sure he did. Tell me something Moki?" Seto asked, not surprised Mokuba had gone to Yugi again, at least they were on friendly terms this time.
"Sure what?" Mokuba asked, his brother sounded thoughtful rather then annoyed.
"Do you think the cape is too much?" Seto asked half joking, he always trusted his little brother's opinion.
"No, your clothes have to flare when you move, and princes didn't have dusters." Mokuba answered, he had never seen his brother's long coats get caught on anything yet.
"Hmm? Poor them," Seto commented absently as he clipped his com badge to his collar.
"Yep," Mokuba agreed slipping on his helmet like mask before slipping on his gloves. "Niisama we can go now."
"All right…where?" Seto asked blinking at his little brother encased in the blue white armor of the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"Don't you like it?" Mokuba asked lifting the top jaw exposing his face.
"No, it's just…Look at you," Seto answered placing a hand on his little brother's head. "I didn't know them made such realistic ones."
"Only one place does. It sells only Cosplay stuff, so it only carried the best. Yugi told me about it. Come on lets go?" Mokuba said taking Seto's hand as he jumped off the bed bag and flashlight in his other.
"Coming. You are so cute Moki," Seto teased smiling.
"I know I am now come on the candy is calling to me," Mokuba teased back, tugging on his hand.
"Please tell me you are joking?" Seto pleaded, grabbing his sword as he closed the door.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Yug is so a genius look at all of this!" Jounouchi exclaimed happily surveying his bag.
Shizuka shook here slivery white head, three pearls on earthier side of straight edged bangs catching the light. "Oniichan really." She chided looking past him caching sight of a Blue Eyes White Dragon walking beside a very handsome prince, who just happened to be laughing at something the little dragon had just said. 'Too cute!' She thought as she ran up to the next house on the list.
"Sis?!" Jounouchi asked before running after her, not noticing anyone unless it was to avoid hitting them.
Mokuba looked up and smiled at Shizuka as he walked up to the next house's driveway. "I'll be right back!" He called running up to the house meeting Shizuka and Jounouchi on the way.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Kid?! Whoa look at you," Jounouchi commented stopping, "I never expected to see you out here."
"Hi you two," Mokuba greeted with an adorable grin. "You look beautiful Shizuka," He commented smiling, she looked good in pearl and silver.
Shizuka blushed a little, ribbon like feathers floating in the gentle breeze, "Thank you." She leaned forward, "Now we see if all our hard work will pay off."
"I know. Niisama is in a great mood tonight," Mokuba informed her with a smile.
"So is mine. Come on it's rude to make them wait," Shizuka smiled walking up to her bother, Mokuba on her other side.
"So kid you got a bodyguard?" Jounouchi asked knowing how protective Kaiba was very well, the kid was sweet so he totally got it.
"Yep. Niisama," Mokuba answered with a smile, he was very proud of himself.
"Seto?!" Jounouchi asked clearly surprised, mostly since Kaiba was not with Mokuba.
"Yes. Trick or Treat," Mokuba answered before ignoring him smiling.
"My aren't you three precious?" A sweet old lady asked, "Take your pick dears."
"Wow!" Jounouchi exclaimed with a smile, "Kid what do you want, you go first OK?"
"Thanks Jounouchi!" Mokuba said with an absolutely adorable smile.
"That was sweet Oniichan," Shizuka said with a smiling as well.
"Aw, with you two it's too easy," Jounouchi teased, patting her wig rather then ruffling her hair.
"Thanks ma'am," Mokuba said bowing slightly.
"Oh not at all. Come on you two. Oh and do take one for your other friend now?" The old lady said with a smile.
"Catch kid," Jounouchi warned, tossing him a bag like he himself had chosen.
"Thanks," Mokuba said. 'This is fun.'
Jounouchi smiled turning and blinking down at Kaiba. The tall brunette was dressed in lose white and tight black just like his newest 'signature' outfit, only not as modern. The blonde smiled slightly, he really did look like some handsome price waiting for a lovely princess to come along. 'Or perhaps an equally handsome knight? It is Halloween after all.' "Hey kid do you think…?"
Mokuba ran past Jounouchi, grabbing his arm and pulled him with him before the taller blonde could even move to stop him. "Niisama the nice lady wanted you to have these." He panted slightly, excitement and running did that to you.
"You didn't have to run Moki, I'm not going anywhere," Seto teased, opening his eyes and looking up, "Jounouchi?!"
Jounouchi blinked into surprised sapphire eyes for a moment, before smiling nervously. "Hey Kaiba" 'He cannot be happy about this.'
"A knight huh? Were you hoping I would be the Kaiba dressed as a Blue Eyes?" Kaiba asked tone clearly amused not annoyed, as Jounouchi had likely feared.
"Actually it was all Shizuka's idea," Jounouchi answered, smiling at his sister as she joined them.'Sneaky Sis very sneaky.' "And what about you, getting delusion of grander again?"
"Hardly, this was Mokuba's idea." Kaiba answered glancing at Mokuba, who had walked a few feet away with Shizuka trading some of their stashes already. "Somehow I get the feeling we were set up."
Jounouchi nodded, "Maybe. Of course Yug gave us this map with all these great stops on it, she might have just given it to the kid." 'Or they could be up to something. I don't care either way, we are talking and not fighting so I'm happy. He doesn't seem too upset about it, I guess cause it was his brother who tricked him. The only one of us who could even try to.'
Kaiba nodded arms crossed, "True, they are close." He admitted, willing to except the blonde's suggestion without question. 'Yugi had better not have anything to do with this.'
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Well they're talking?" Shizuka whispered smiling, they were within arms reach of each other.
"Yeah, about us," Mokuba informed her, "Lets head back and hope they don't get too mad at us?"
"Okay," Shizuka agreed fallowing Mokuba, both of them stopped when they heard Jounouchi bring up the party.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Hey Kaiba there's this party everyone is like going to later, and I was wondering if you'd like to come too?" Jounouchi asked rubbing the back of his head. 'Did I really just ask him that? Oh man cue the yelling.'
"You mean the one they have every year?" Kaiba inquired, frowning slightly in thought as he wrapped his fingers around his chin
"Yeah that one. I've never been there and I promised Shizuka I'd take her. Yugi invited me so I'm inviting you." Jounouchi explained, feeling a little more comfortable when he did not get yelled, or even glared, at. 'Oh please say yes? It'll be fun, and you need to have fun.'
"I don't know," Kaiba admitted after a long moment. He glanced at Jounouchi, blinking when he looked almost crushed by his hesitation. 'What is going on here?'
"Don't know about what Niisama?" Mokuba asked walking up to him, the party may not have come up yet.
"The party I," Kaiba started, it was not the kind of thing he was use to, truth be told being social made him somewhat uncomfortable.
"A party? Will the gumi be there?" Mokuba asked cutting him off, Seto had no idea he already knew the answer.
"That's what Yugi said," Shizuka answered picking up on Mokuba's plan.
Kaiba glanced at her, "Your brother said you are going?"
"Oh yes. I love parties but I haven't been able to go to many. Please come Seto…Kaiba gomen," Shizuka bowed, she had not meant to use his first name.
"It's all right Shizuka I'm not mad at you." Kaiba assured her gently, she looked so apologetic over that one slip.
"Why? You hate it when..," Shizuka asked confused, only to trail off when Kaiba raised a hand.
"Every once an a while is all right, besides who could stay angry with and angel?" Kaiba teased smiling at her, Shizuka smiled back. "Moki do you want to go too?" Kaiba asked, turning to his brother who was standing next to Jounouchi.
"Yes. The gumi are my friends and I've missed them." Mokuba answered hugging Jounouchi's arm, Jounouchi smiled down at him before looking up at Kaiba shrugging.
Kaiba nodded at him, it was settled then, "Then we'll go."
"Oh Niisama?!" Mokuba cried happily, hugging him tightly, "Thank you!"
"It's just a party. Can I move please?" Kaiba muttered with fake seriousness, Mokuba was free to try and crush him anytime he was happy.
"Sorry. Come on let's finish this street then head out," Mokuba suggested, taking his brother's hand gently a tender smile in response.
Jounouchi smiled them, captivated by a smile he had mostly only heard talk of. 'He's so beautiful when he smiles like that.'
Shizuka smiled when she caught her brother's dreamy smile. "Sound good to me what do you think Oniichan?" She interupted, getting her brother's attention a split second before twin sets of dark blue eyes look at her.
"Hun? Oh yeah good idea kid. Lead on Lady Angel," Jounouchi answered with a bow.
"Mokuba would you like to walk with me for a little while?" Shizuka asked sweetly, wanting to give her brother a few more minutes alone with Kaiba.
"Sure. Be nice," Mokuba whispered before running up to Shizuka, smiling when she took his hand.
"Aren't those two just too cute?" Jounouchi asked walking up to Kaiba as he started after them, falling in beside him without even having to think about it.
Kaiba nodded, "Yes. Mokuba hasn't been this happy in a long time." Jounouchi glanced at Kaiba, frowning at the slightly sad tone. "And neither have I," Kaiba admitted with a sigh, eyes closing for a moment. "He was so happy when I said he go out like all the other kids."
"He's all you have, we all understand that," Jounouchi assured Kaiba, placing a hand on his shoulder getting sad dark eyes to meet his own lighter ones. "We also understand why you are the way that you are. What that man did to you…" He closed his eyes, turning his face away. "Just the thought of it makes me sick," Jounouchi growled turning back to Kaiba. "And now all this shit is happening, and no one seems to be able to catch much of a break. At lest they are not key players in this fucked up chess game from Hell." Jounouchi blinked when Kaiba placed a hand on his. "Seto?" He whispered staring into deep blue, the outside world temporally forgotten.
"Who said you could call me that?" Kaiba asked, what would normally be a growl was a softly spoken question. "I never said you could."
"You never said I couldn't either," Jounouchi countered, not being snapped at was a good sign. "So can I call you Seto, Seto?"
"Don't call me Seto I didn't say yes yet." Kaiba reminded the often impatient blonde, hand still on Jounouchi's, whose in turn was still resting on his own shoulder with no clear intention of moving at the moment.
"So say yes already?" Jounouchi asked leaning closer, hoping for a yes, not sure what to expect. 'Please say yes?'
Kaiba frowned at him before closing his eyes with a sigh. "Yes," He whispered softly, giving in to the blonde's determination.
Jounouchi blinked, hope had been answered, "So I can call you Seto now?" He asked wanting be sure, slipping one and a while Kaiba could forgive, if you were part of the Gumi anyway.
"Yes Jounouchi, you may call me Seto," Kaiba answered opening his eyes, smirking, "At lest until you piss me off."
Jounouchi laughed, that answer was so classic Kaiba, "You're on." He slipped his arm through Seto's, "Come on they're already four houses down."
Kaiba blinked at the energetic blonde, but allowed the other to pull him along without protesting. He smiled at the laughing blonde. 'He looks so happy just like Mokuba.' Jounouchi turned to look at his captured prince, smiling when Seto smiled at him before laughing. "I though knights were suppose save people not kidnap them?" Kaiba teased as they slowed down, having had caught up with their siblings.
"OK one you came willing your highness, and two I am saving you," Jounouchi informed him tone becoming more serious by the end.
"Oh, from what?" Kaiba asked frowning slightly, wanting to know what it was the golden knight thought he was saving him from.
"Loneliness," Jounouchi answered simply, catching the blink.
"Loneliness?" Seto repeated confused, head tilting slightly at the blonde, he had not been expecting that answer.
"Well, there are no evil dragons or whatever around now are there?" Jounouchi asked, he had forgotten how adorable Seto was confused.
"I..," Seto started, friendly bantering with the blonde he normally dismissed was still very new to him.
"Seto you should send for a limo now, the kids are done," Jounouchi informed him, cutting whatever he was going to say off.
Seto hit his com, he never left home without it, "Limo in five." He glanced back at Jounouchi, who had turned to wave at Shizuka and Mokuba. 'Thank you Jounouchi.' "So Golden Knight you think you could slay a dragon do you?"
"Golden Knight?" Jounouchi asked momentarily confused, before he remembered he was a blonde with gold eyes. He smiled, rather liking the nickname, "That's cute Prince of Dragons."
Kaiba chuckled, "I guess a king would at lest wear a crown huh?" He asked shaking his head, he was fine without one.
"Oh yes, a big shiny thing twice the size of his head," Jounouchi agreed, outlining a crown with his hands. "Besides prince is better 'coz then you get all the perks, but you don't have to do a damn thing."
"That is a very good point. Prince of Dragons it is," Seto decided with a smirk, the logic was sound if not sarcastic.
"So what does that make Mokuba?" Jounouchi asked frowning slightly in thought, techincally he would still be a prince either way.
"The annoying knight slayer," Seto answered, his little brother was dressed as a dragon at the moment.
"Good thing he likes me huh?" Jounouchi cooed, Mokuba had taken to the Gumi much faster then his brother.
"Very," Kaiba teased right back, maybe this trusting people thing was easier then he thought.
BOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOObooBOOboo!
"Look at that Niisama is letting Jounouchi touch him?" Mokuba whispered as he walked away from the house they had just visited.
"I know. They seem to be getting along really well thank Kami," Shizuka whispered back, "I just wish I could hear them."
"Judging from their expressions, especially Niisama, it's about our childhood," Mokuba answered, voice a little sad.
"Is that good or bad?" Shizuka asked not sure, she knew the Kaiba life story was not all happy endings.
"Niisama hates talking about our past, even to me sometimes," Mokuba admitted, Shizuka may not know that since she did not know them all that well. "To talk about it with someone the Gumi thinks he hates, plus the touching, is so strange. I always knew the Gumi was growing on Niisama but…"
"So all our sneaking around is paying off?" Shizuka asked voice hopeful, it all sounded like things were going well,
"Yes, look?" Mokuba answered pointing, things were going great.
"They really do look cute together don't they?" Shizuka smiled, happy looked good on both Kaiba brothers, "Look how happy they both look?"
Mokuba nodded, grinning, "Yeah let's hurry up." 'That is the smile I've missed so much. The carefree childlike kind I feared you'd lost. Thank you Jounouchi.'

OK that is the end of part one. Just like 'FARSCAPE: The Peacekeeper Wars' this will be a two part one shot mini series kinda thing. The second half will be posted on Friday so you'll just have to wait a little bit. I am sorry but this is getting a tad long for one chapter and my wrists are getting tried. Pity me? Anyone? Anyway I hope you like this pretty much pointless ode to holiday romance and fun.
All costume ideas were taken from my fan art collections and Leo's outfit in that Romeo and Juliet movie. Any comments are welcomed about anything so feel free to leave them after the fic.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
No dragons were harmed in the writing of this fic.
