A/N: Well, Hi. I am back into the full on fic time. I wont really be able to soon, as school is starting back and I'm semi banned from the computer at said time. So I had to take my chance. Yes, Seto is the main focus in this story too. I regret nothing! Well, he's my favourite character and I love writing him, so…This is going to be another 'getting to know you' fic, except unlike 'Geek Squad! Not anymore' this is back when the pharaoh just left, so they are still teenagers. I decided to make this one a slightly long chapter, to just get the main grasp of my story. My plots may not be villain vs hero, but I enjoy writing funny little sort of everyday life stories. I guess its because I always wanted a yugioh episode, where they all just hung out. It's stupid, but I wanted it none the less. Anywho, I hope you enjoy this next fic of my creation. I don't want to crash and burn lolz, so R&R and gimme some love. Haha, enjoy guys.
Disclaimer: I still don't ownYugioh. God u are persistent. Although, I dunno if the place they are staying at is real. If its not, well, I own that bit? I hope. (rambling)

Bang! The solid oak doors burst open in a frenzy of black. Black bushy hair to be exact. It flew toward the rather large desk in a flurry of movement.
"Guess What Seto."
The elder man looked up in a haze when the noise of his precious office doors been torn apart by five feet of trouble.
"Mokuba. This is not my home office; you have to be more careful."
Mokuba didn't bother listening. He didn't get it. This lecture had been horribly forced upon his defenceless ears many a time and Mokuba always just argued the point, that his brother owned this place too.
With a quick roll off his eyes Mokuba pouted.
"Whatever big brother. But I have something to tell you."
Seto Kaiba'a eyes had returned to his computer by now. He began furiously typing away, gaze glued to the screen in an emotionless manner.
"And what is this news Mokuba?" he asked, the repetitive tapping of the keys giving background to his words. He knew whatever it was, he wouldn't like it.
Mokuba glanced at his blurred fingers doing that mindless movement over the keys. Although this didn't faze him. It just fuelled his hopeful plans more. He grinned in delight.
"Guess."
The tapping stopped. His brother's eyes slowly lifted from the lit screen until the fixed upon the younger Kaiba's gaze.
"I don't have time for games. Besides, anytime you ask me to 'guess' in that manner, I never like the answer."
"That's cause you don't know how to have fun…" mumbled the kid.
Kaiba's glance had slid back to the charts on the damned piece of technology, but it flashed back at his sibling. "What?" he asked, not hearing the slight insult.
"Oh never mind." Chirped Mokuba "It doesn't matter, but I still have to tell you."
Kaiba looked expectantly at his short brother. "Yes?"
"Heh…" The smaller looked away innocently, suddenly finding the floor very interesting. "Um…well you see…Yugi wa…"
"No."
His brother cut across him and returned his attention to his work. Mokuba looked crestfallen; he didn't even get to say what he wanted.
"But Seto…"
"No Mokuba" Tapping continues. "Whenever you come to tell me about that shrimp, nothing good ever comes of it. Never"
Kaiba did have a point. But that point only counted for him. Anything related to Yugi always meant something crazy and totally not his thing. This was his thing. To sit in an office, sorting through files, fixing errors his pathetic employees couldn't, sitting in and dominating meeting with other CEO's twice or three times his age and…well, basically working. Nothing else was familiar. Except duelling, but he doubted very much that Moto wanted a duel with him. Those things were dropped heavily since the 'pharaoh' had left. Plus Kaiba had begrudgingly accepted Yugi as king of games that day.
'Call me cynical' he thought 'but, that kind of ruined our duelling temperaments'
"Would you just listen! You never listen and I'm sick of it!" Mokuba blurted it out before he could clap a hand over his mouth.
The typing stopped. Now the kid had Kaiba's undivided attention.
Kaiba rubbed his temples. "Right. I'm listening."
His little brother hadn't meant to be so harsh, but now Mokuba was inwardly smirking. 'Now I know how to get your attention Seto.'
But outside he just simply smiled.
"Thanks. Anyways, you see Yugi asked me to go …er…hang out with them."
'Maybe this isn't so bad' considered the elder. 'It doesn't seem to include me…'
"But…"
'There's always a fucking 'but''
"…it's um…sort of at the beach."
Kaiba's frown lessened. 'I suppose I can let Mokuba spend a day with the geeks watching him. I'll just threaten them first. That will make sure they keep an eye on him.' He smirked to himself.
"…and it's sort of for a week."
"What?!" his brother nearly shouted incredibly. "Oh no…you are not being left in the care of that lot for a whole week. Forget it!"
'No way! Now way in hell was he letting his defenceless little brother run off with those circus freaks. Allowing Mokuba to try and get himself killed was not on his list of things to allow today'
"They figured that" said Mokuba sheepishly.
Kaiba's frown was deepening into a future wrinkle no amount of collagen would ever get out. His eyes were narrowing to the point where it must have been impossible to see.
And he looked suspicious and suspecting.
"So" Mokuba laughed hesitantly. "They want you to come along too."
Silence.
"…"
"Seto?"
"…"
Mokuba waved a hand in his brother's face. The man looked like he was going to have a seizure.
The blue eyed man stood up slowly. "No. Way!" he said dangerously.
'Well, I wasn't expecting that' scorned Mokuba to himself. But if anyone could get him to agree to anything, it was him. He watched his brother in curiosity. 'I wonder how I'm going to make a miracle happen.'
Kaiba inhaled a deep breath and set his hands back on the keys.
Mokuba closed his eyes, then opened them, with a forlorn expression on his face.
"Oh…"
This pitiful comment made Kaiba's guilt force him to look back at his brother. He paled when he saw the little guy looking t the floor.
"…I was um…really looking forward to it" said the boy quietly, not taking his eyes off the floor. "But…it's ok, I er, get it and all. You need to be here…um, yeah…sorry I disturbed you Seto…eh…" with those sad words, he turned, looking awkward and opened the large door.
And for a finishing touch, he gave his brother a defeated smile and quietly closed the door.
Seto Kaiba was left looking extremely pained with guilt as he stared the door down, where Mokuba had soundlessly exited through. He sighed, sitting back in his chair, ignoring the flashing messages he had coming through on email. He leaned on the desk, putting his head in his hands.
'I can't spend a week on…holidays ugh, with those losers. But…Mokuba really seemed down. I was expecting an argument for about a half hour, but he just gave up. I guess he knows me too well. He knew I wouldn't let him.'
He rubbed his eyes stressfully.
'Come on Seto. You're willing to die for your brother, yet you won't spend a week with a few people for him?'
He briefly wondered if talking to yourself was crazy, but he was allowed to be a maniac right.
'Argh, that has nothing to do with it. Besides, it's not a week with 'some people' it's a week of pure torture. Being with that lot is like bearing Pegasus's damn annoying 'funny bunny' or whatever the crazy old fool called it.'
"But Mokuba…Hmmm…"
Not quite believing what he was doing, he rose from the chair. 'I guess I am crazy after all' he mused.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The moment Mokuba left he grinned. Well, it was more of a smug smirk of a grin, but he knew that he had his brother from 'oh'
The guilt he left in that room was thicker than maple syrup. He knew he wouldn't have his way before he left. All that was left was to wait.
"Wait for my beloved brother to come find me" he snickered. But this wasn't just purely for Mokuba. The boy was worried for his brother. Kaiba hadn't taken even a full hour off work in forever and he was killing Mokuba with dread. 'This trip will be good for him, whether he likes it or not. He's going to work himself to death.'
Kaiba had no idea how long Mokuba sits outside his home office door at night sometimes. Sitting there silently praying for him go to bed. But he never did. The boy had to give up when it got to two am, unable to keep his own eyes open much longer.
"Well, I'm going to make sure he had fun and chills" he told himself. "Now where is he? I would have thought he'd have cracked by now."
Just as he finished that sentence, the door of Kaibacorps CEO opened, revealing a slightly concerned looking Kaiba. He looked relieved to find Mokuba right outside the door.
"Mokuba there you are." He said walking up to him. Mokuba hid the glee and looked up at him innocently "What is it Seto?"
"You really want to go to this …place, don't you?" he asked gruffly.
A nod.
Kaiba gritted his teeth for a second, then opened his mouth. "Then…I guess you can go."
He knew he would get his way with this, but when his brother confirmed it to him, the boy laughed in delight and hugged him around the waist.
"Thank you, thank you." He said. "But…you're coming too right?
Kaiba looked down, raising an eyebrow.
"You think I'd put my trust of keeping you safe for a week them?" he smirked. "Leave you defenceless with Wheeler around. He'd probably drown you just to annoy me."
"Hey, I'm not defenceless!" pouted Mokuba and he hit his brother's arm.
Kaiba didn't even flinch, but looked amused. He turned to go back into his office, as his secretary was somewhere nearby and he didn't like employees gawking at him, like he had grown an extra head, if he just chuckled.
Mokuba ran in after him.
"So where exactly are the geeks planning to stay?" he asked curtly, sitting down once again. Mokuba jumped onto the couch nearby.
"Um…White gate…no…blue…no, um" he thought for another minute" wait, Pearl gate! That's it! Pearl gate villa Seto. That's it."
"Hmm" said the other, swinging around to his laptop and typed said location into the search box.
Mokuba came around to see the results.
"Awesome"
It was a pretty house. Quite large by the looks of the picture. It has gleaming white walls and a green door on the front.
"It's bigger than I thought Seto."
Kaiba wasn't listening, he was reading the general information, making sure it was acceptable. By the looks of it, it was. The house itself was an impressive size and it wasn't a grimy rent out place either. It was like renting a villa.
"Hey Seto look! It's like, right on the beach." Pointed out the black haired Kaiba. He was right. The sand right up to the house. "It must have a private part of the beach for people staying here" mumbled Kaiba. But it looked to be a pretty secluded spot, which suited him perfectly. And the CEO had to admit; at least it wasn't an overcrowded hotel with kids running all over the place. Maybe he could just go and relax, do a bit of work on his laptop in the sun. Sunny, wasn't his style, either was the beach. But he had to go anyway. 'Mokuba deserves some fun. And it's not a wreck of a place either. I don't know how the mutt and his friends are paying for it. I'll pay mine and Mokuba's share of course, but they can forget it if they think they're scabbing off me.'
But really Kaiba knew they weren't like that. But he would never say. They were the few people he knew that weren't after his money. 'Wow, they score in something' he sneered to himself.
Mokuba on the other hand, was beside himself with happiness. 'A whole week of fun in the sun. And Seto's actually coming. For a minute I thought he was making me go by myself. Which I wouldn't mind cause I'd have the guys, but still…'
He stole a glance at his brother.
'He doesn't know how to have fun. So I'll get my fun teaching him'
"So what do you think big bro?"
"It's acceptable."
'Translate from Seto's language…he likes it' cheered the younger.
"Awesome, so can I tell Yugi we'll be there?"
"Yes, yes…go tell him. I've already agreed now" he sighed. Although he felt better when Mokuba 'whooped' jumping into the air and ran from the room.
He banged his forehead on the desk. 'Stupid. Yugi, Mutt…I'm gonna…'
But the telephone interrupted his thoughts. Growling at its shrill ringing he picked it up. "What is it?" he barked down the line.
"Mr Kaiba" came his calm secretaries voice "There's a Mr Lau here to see you sir. He says he might have an interesting proposition for you."
Kaiba glared at nothing in particular. He didn't have time for these petty companies and their pathetic product ideas.
"Tell him to get lost! I'm busy!" And he slammed the receiver down. 'Busy getting mentally prepared for a week in the live of idiots.
