His office laid in utter silence, only the hum of his computer and his laptop emitted any sort of sound. His fingers danced over his keyboard and effortlessly wrote report after report on his computer all the while scanning his laptop's screen for other reports coming in from different parts of his corporation. Seto Kaiba was currently getting another mess from one of his, now ex, employee had made during a conference to build another Kaiba Land in both North and South America. Kaiba had almost given up on humanity multiple times during his life but today he wanted strangle something cute and cuddly.

Nobody dared o disturb a smoldering dragon in his den, but a raven haired boy ventured in without a care of the world. His messy hair was in fact shorter then years past, since his last "real" adventure from Egypt he opted to get a haircut. It was only four months since that time, even his hair had almost grown back to its regular length, but Mokuba was still acting traumatized after he got the haircut. Kaiba only gave his younger brother a moment's glance before returning to his work. As much as he wished to be completely alone in his anger he knew he wouldn't be, not with Mokuba always worrying about him when Kaiba gets into one of his 'moods'.

"Seto?"

A fury typing came as a response before Kaiba actually took his eyes from his screen to address his brother. "Yes?" Kaiba asked in response, his eyes blazing with anger but his voice was soft. He would not allow his anger flow over to his brother, he would not dare let some moronic employee's action get to him that far.

"You're busy I know, but today school is cancelled and Kaiba Land is pretty slow strangely as well today. So I was wondering if we can hang out," Mokuba asked, his voice barely above that of a whisper.

Kaiba in turn was slightly irked that his brother would need to speak so softly like he was an employee about to get fired, but at the same time Seto was grateful that his brother was not loud and obnoxious to add to his ever persistent headache. He sighed before looking back to his computer screen to continue typing. "Sorry Mokuba but I'm too busy and I need to finish this now so I can have time to fix up relations with the Americas so we can start building more Kaiba Lands overseas," Kaiba replied. But suddenly he stopped and walked over to his little brother, he knelt down and gave him a loose hug. Mokuba felt something drop in his jacket but too no notice of it as Seto continued to talk, "We'll hang out when we visit the Americas to see Kaiba Land being built, I heard something called the "Super Bowl" or whatever those Americans obese over will take place during that time," Seto said before returning to his work.

A soft "oh," was the only response, Mokuba slowly walked towards the door and before he closed it he add, "Okay big brother," and with that Seto was once again alone in his own world. Kaiba slowly began to think that perhaps he should have dropped what he was doing and "hang out" with his younger brother. An "Error" screen popped up on his screen and the thought vanished, leaving only his other thought of "I need to make Kaiba Corp great so Mokuba could have the best life I can possibly give him"

Outside of Kaiba Corp. Building

Mokuba sighed as he walked along the sidewalk. He managed to sneak past his brother's most faithful servant Roland without too much difficulty and knew that his brother wouldn't fire the man because of his younger brother's cunning. Mokuba would know, he was sure Roland had a tally going of how many times Mokuba nearly lost him his job because he would "Take a stroll" or some half lame excuse. This time though Mokuba really had no idea where to go.

He decided that perhaps taking a walk down the street would prove to be something. He sighed again, compared to past years day to day life in Domino was boring. Sure being kidnapped and his soul being ripped from his body or being trapped in the Shadow Realm did stink but Mokuba could not but help smile at the times he got to see his brother Seto come to his rescue, he got to see a side of his big brother that had not seen since they were at the orphanage when Seto would protect him from bullies and such.

Mokuba almost wished for those times back, almost. He certainly knew that his brother would not, in fact he was sure he would be annoyed he would even want those memories back. Mokuba only wanted his brother to be a happy family, but he knew that without Seto, Kaiba Corp. would have continued making machines for war and destroy other happy families. So Mokuba was happy that though Seto never intended to bring down a company of war and violence for the betterment of mankind, it was still a nice gesture nether the less. "And Kaiba Land is fun for all kids too," Mokuba said, he looked up and a smile grew on his face. He never intended to end up here, but might as well make the best of it. Mokuba took off with such speed that several papers flew up into the air as the raven haired boy ran towards the Kame Game Shop.

Mokuba opened the door and bells jingled loudly as he did so. Solomon Muto stood across from the counter and he turned around and smiled at the new face that came into his shop. He waved and Mokuba waved back, "Hey Mr. Muto!" Mokuba said loudly before walking up to the old man.

"Hello there Mokuba, it has been a while since I last saw you! And enough you have earned the honor of calling me Grandpa boy! You helped me get into the Grand Tournament last year remember?" Solomon Muto said, his smile never wavering. He certainly found it strange that Mokuba could change so much and still be a Kaiba or even how he was the brother to CEO of Kaiba Corp.

"It was no biggie! Seto wanted the best Duelist and if you were able to teach Joey to get them to where he was at, and even create a Deck that Yugi used to beat Seto then you certainly have to be good," Mokuba responded.

"Aye, well yes. Teaching Joey though was not an easy task to say the least but Yugi slowly made his own deck with the cards I gave him as well so, both are now beyond what I can teach, but anyways Mokuba what brings you here? Certainly your brother can supply you with any card you want?" Solomon asked.

Mokuba awkwardly fidgeted for a moment, not sure of how to respond to him, "Um well, Seto is really busy and today I thought we could hang out since school got cancelled but since he is really busy we can't. Sorry to make it sound that you weren't on my top of the list to hang out," Mokuba said sheepishly.

"No, no I'm not offended, actually I'm glad you're here. Yugi and Joey are upstairs catching up some sleep and today no one has come into the shop so I'm bored myself, so what about a duel with an old man like me?" Solomon asked, his laugh was deep and heart felt. Mokuba had to wonder what came over Seto to practically give this kind old man a heart attack.

"Yeah! But I don't have a de-" Mokuba said as he reached into his jacket and felt a rectangle case. He pulled out the case and saw that it held a deck of Duel Monsters inside. Mokuba realized that this was what Seto must have dropped in his jacket when he hugged him. "Never mind, I got a deck!" Mokuba said cheerfully.

Solomon smiled as he cleared the counter and grabbed chair for the boy as well. Solomon pulled out his own deck and both were ready to duel. "Let's duel!" Mokuba and Solomon said in unison as the drew their cards. Mokuba realized how strange it was to have his deck not on his arms and his cards not project the monsters but he soon adjusted to it.

"Place my three cards face down and end my turn," Solomon declared, putting two cards face down and the third in front of the two in defense mode.

Mokuba nodded, he looked at his hand was silently shocked to see what he held. Did Seto make a copy of his deck for me? Or. . Mokuba thought, but he shrugged it off and simply focused back to the duel. "I play Saggi the Dark Clown and two face down cards," Mokuba said, then adding "I end my turn,"

Solomon raised an eyebrow at this move and drew a card from his deck and thought deeply about his hand. "Well, let us see how I can maneuver around your face down cards," Solomon muttered. He placed one face up cared, "I place my Celtic Guardian into attack into attack mode and let us see what you Saggi the Dark Clown has to say to my Celtic Guardian's attack," Solomon said.

"Well you destroyed my Saggi, but activated my trap card! My crush card virus! Any creature above 1500 attack points are now useless," Mokuba said, with a gleeful smile. Solomon nearly doubled over at this scene, barely the third turn and already he was at a major disadvantage.

"Well, I guess your brother isn't a bad teacher either," Solomon said with an added "hmph" as he sighed. "Well, I end my turn Mokuba," Solomon added.

Mokuba give a small laugh as he drew his next card and a mischievous smile spread across his face. "I place my Germ into the battle field along with one face down card in defense mode and one card face down," Mokuba said, "I end my turn,"

"Oh right, I play my trusty Kuriboh and two cards face down, and I will attack your Germ with my Celtic Guardian," Solomon declared, not wanting to risk attacking his face down card for the moment.

"Alright, my germ is gone, but I get to bring it back thanks to its effect and now I am down to 2700 life points to your still 4000," Mokuba said, not in the slightest phased by the difference. "Now I play my Battle Oxe and sacrifice both to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Mokuba said, he then revealed the face down card, "And with my Lord of Dragons combined with my Dragon Calling Horn I shall call out two additional dragons, and guess what I summon two more Blue Eyes White Dragon unto the field!" Mokuba said, "Now with my polarmization card I combine all three to form the Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon and now I attack your Celtic Guardian," Mokuba said, Solomon winced and stared wide eyed, not believing Mokuba has Seto's cards.

"Well, I'm in a predicament, now I have nothing strong enough to take on that creature directly but," Solomon said, he put down one face down monster in defense mode, "We shall see now," Solomon said.

Mokuba wondered what the old man was planning, "Well, I attack your Kuriboh, and end my turn," Mokuba said as he drew a card.

Solomon's face nearly lit up as the next card he drew came to his eyes, "Now my young whippersnapper, time to-"

"Grandpa!"

"Hey gramps!"

A duel of voices called out, Mokuba recognized both as Joey and Yugi. But what Mokuba didn't expect was both Joey and Yugi tumbling down the stairs and smashing right next to Yugi's grandpa. Nothing broke, but the counter shook and the cards fell off the table. Mokuba quickly dropped on all floors and began to pick up all of his brother's card.

"Sorry!" Yugi said, as he helped pick up the cards, "But Joey did not want to tie his shoes," Yugi said, apologizing for both of them.

"Hey, jeez I said sorry already," Joey said as he stood up and rubbed his head. Solomon simply smiled as he shook his head.

"It's alright, me and Grandpa were having a friendly game, I was winning pretty good," Mokuba said cheerfully as he gathered all the cards and placed them in his deck.

"Really? Gramps? Well, I guess too bad we can't see what happen nex-" Yugi asked, but ended abruptly as he looked at the three cards he was holding in his hand, his eyes were wide as he looked over to Mokuba.

"I had him in my next turn, not to fear Yugi," Solomon said, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah that's right Gramps! Nobody can't beat an old geezer like you with all that experience, well nobody but a Champ like Joey Wheeler that is," Joey said, giving Solomon a friendly tap on the back with his hand.

"Mokuba, why do you have Kaiba's three Blue Eyes White Dragons?" Yugi asked, surprised that his friend, well Kaiba would never call him a friend but Yugi hoped that one he might, and rival, Yugi was sure that was what all Kaiba could call him in public, would lend his three most prized cards. Even if it was to his brother.

"Huh? Oh yeah, did you nab them from Old Money'bags when he wasn't looking or what Mokuba?" Joey asked as he peered over Yugi's shoulder to catch a glimpse at the three legendarily dragons of Light.

"I didn't steal them or anything, Seto let me borrow them when he said he couldn't hang out with me today, I guess he wanted me to duel the Computer or something," Mokuba replied as he quickly grabbed the three cards and placed them back into the deck holder and secured it tightly around his belt.

Yugi gave a nod, "Well, that was nice of him, hey do you want to hang out with the gang right? Tea and Serenity are waiting at the arcade with Tristan," Yugi asked, Joey gave a "huff" when he realized his sister was with Tristan, "And Duke was coming over to visit his game shop and hang out with us today as well," Yugi added, "Also I think he's with the girls and Tristan already too," Yugi said, giving some thought.

"What! Both those creeps are with my sister! Come on Yug, let's get there fast," Joey said as he already ran out the door, bringing both Yugi and Mokuba in tow.

"Yeah!" Mokuba responded as he tried to disentangle himself from Joey, like wise so was Yugi.

Solomon simply laughed as he walked over to pick up the cards that were dropped from his deck, Oh well I guess it was destiny to let the duel go undecided, Solomon sighed as he picked up his "Dark Hole" card. Solomon then began to sweep the floor to his gameshop in hopes of getting any customers today.
