Seto Kaiba was amidst his office and working on his new program for his new duel disk. All lights were off and the only light there was coming from the computer. Other than the clitter clatter of the key board, silence filled the room. At least until..

"Seto! Come on! Today I'm leaving to the U.S.! Get out here!" Mokuba yelled.

"You don't have to yell Mokuba. I can hear you perfectly well." Kaiba sighed. He got off his chair and walked out the door.

"I invited a couple of our friends from duelist kingdom, battle city, the oracle curse people, and KC Grand Prix kay?" Mokuba said as he slid down the railing.

"A couple of people? Like who..?" Kaiba mumbled as he walked down the stairs. When he reached the first floor, he saw Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Mr. Motou, Pegasus, Mai, Serenity, Weevil, Rex, Varon, Raphael, Allistor, Vivian, Leon, Siegfred, Marik, Ishizu, Shadi, Bandit Keith, Ryou, Bonez, Mako, Panic, Paradox twins, Duke, Rebecca, Professor Hopkins, Odion, Miho, Noa's hologram, Fortune Simon, Ethan Johnson, Paul Mcgregor, Abe, Richard Goat, Barry Ginger, The master of Illusion, Ethan shark, Jafaar Hashin, Roland, Mrs. Motou, Ms. Kawaii, Jonny Steps, Esper Roba, Pandora Yokosos, Kenta, Sakaitos, Croket, Tristan's brother and finally Mokuba.(or, every character ever mentioned or who showed up in yugioh in anime not including forbidden memory and some of the bad guys. If I missed someone that I didn't intend to miss, then oh well.)

"Mokuba! You said a FEW people. I guess that includes rivals? " Kaiba roared.

"Yeah, a FEW people. My college friends should be arriving soon too." Mokuba cooly replied, oblivious of all the glares his brother was giving him.

"Everyone, OUT! Kaiba yelled in his loudest voice into the microphone laying on a nearby table and all in the while, breaking all the glass there.

"You know, Mr. Kaiba, yelling isn't good for you." Dr. Richard Goat told him.(from KC grand prix)

"I don't care." Kaiba glared at him and he scampered away.

"Yo, chill out" Bandit Keith lowered his glasses and looked at Kaiba.

"Aww..come on..please?" Mokuba pleaded.

"No Mokuba. And stop acting like a kid. It's not right for someone as old as you, acting like--" Kaiba was cut off as Joey interrupted.

"C'mon Kaiba. Cut the kid some slack. He's leaving Japan and going to start his own new life. He deserves a farewell party to keep his spirits up." Joey argued.

"Kaiba come on! He's your ONLY flesh and blood. YOUR little brother, your ONLY sibling. Shouldn't you at least do THIS for him?" Tea chimed in, backing up Joey.

"Yeah man. Didn't you invite all your friends on your farewell party? Wait a minute, you didn't have a farewell party...Never mind..." Tristan idiotically said.

"Kaiba, be friendly. Friendship is more important than power.." Yugi plainly stated with a cheerful smile.

"Come on Kaiba. A guy's gotta party whenever he has the chance. How else do you think the lady's get your attention? Working? I don't think so." Duke said while flipping his ponytail and making his usual pose.

Well, I've got to agree with the others." Ryou lastly said with a nod.

"Well Wheeler, Gardner, Taylor, Yugi, Devlin and Bakura, I DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE. NOW GET OUT and this has nothing to do with power Yugi." Kaiba yelled..AGAIN.

"Can THEY at least stay?" Mokuba pointed to the gang.

"No." Kaiba clearly stated.

"Fine.." Mokuba made a low voice. He walked towards his room to get his luggage.

"Look what you did NOW" Tea scolded.

"Alright. The geek gang can stay, but only for a short while." Kaiba blew at his hair, waiting for Mokuba's excited voice to be heard.

"Really?" Mokuba chirped as he turned his head around.

"Yes, really. Call me down when their gone." Kaiba rudely replied and went back to his office.

"How rude!" Tea yelled at him.

Kaiba rolled his eyes and continued walking up the stairs.

"Seto! What're you doing? I already called for you– WOW.." Mokuba stared at his brother. Kaiba was wearing no trench coat and was clad in a black shirt arm belts, and leather pants.(totally hot)

"Nice clothes bro." Mokuba winked at him and turned towards to pick up his luggage.

"Hey Seto, could you carry that last bag for me? I'm kinda full here." Mokuba said while walking out towards the car.

"Sure Mokuba." He picked up the bag and walked out.(the next part has a point later on in the story.)

"Hey, what do you have in here anyways?" Kaiba asked.

"Why're you asking?" Mokuba replied.

" That's because I'm curious." He looked at Mokuba suspiciously.

"Well, some of my clothes, and stuff." Mokuba looked at him innocently.

"How do I know that your not lying?" Kaiba narrowed his eyes.

"You don't trust me?" Mokuba made his eyes droop.

"You know, just forget that I ever asked." Kaiba raised his arms, a sign of forfeit.

"Bye Seto! I'll miss you!" Mokuba shouted over the crowd even though he was right beside his brother.

"I'll miss you too, kiddo." Kaiba ruffled his hair one last time and left.

Kaiba was riding in his limo while heading towards the mansion and thinking about Mokuba leading his own life, when it snapped to him. He had no heir for Kaiba Corp. All this time, he had only been thinking about the new duel disk and Mokuba's trip to the U.S.

"Change directions. Head towards the orphanage." Kaiba spoke into the speaker and sat back in his chair.

"Yes sir." his chauffeur replied.

"Good afternoon sir. Welcome to the Domino orphanage. How may I help you?" A woman smiled at him.

"Well, I'm here to adopt a child. Why else would I be here." He looked around for an appropriate kid. He only saw playful, careless preschoolers in there. When he went in to take a better look, he saw a glimpse of a kid in the corner, but the lady that greeted him went in front of him, trying to block that kid from view.

"Do you like any of them?" She asked.

He looked over her and saw the lonely kid, playing duel monsters, with a huge hat on and facing towards the wall.

"I want him." He said, pointing towards the kid.

"Oh, you don't want him. He doesn't have any friends." She first started.

He glared at her.

"And he plays that silly gangster game duel monsters."

He narrowed his eyes.

"He's most likely the kind of kid that would be the heir of a big company and work 24/7 like that jerk boss of mine, Seto Kaiba."

Now he had to resist the urge to punch that woman.

"You know who I am?" He asked, his eye twitching.

"Oh no sir. I'm sorry. I never got to introduce myself. My name is Jade Brinst How are you today?." She held out her hand.

He decided to play along. "My name is Seto Kaiba. How would you like to be fucking fired?" he didn't offer his hand.

Her pupils seemed to shrink. She started to shiver. "I'm terribly sorry Mr. Kaiba. Here, let me get him for you. Please go to the register and I will be there in a moment." Her voice was shaky.

He just walked out and leaned against the register.

She came back after a moment and gave the kid to him. "Mr. Kaiba, please sign here and here and you can go." She gave him a pen from her quivering hand.

He signed it and left. When they walked out, Kaiba turned towards the kid. The lady came out of the orphanage with another woman, standing and watching them leave with a fake smile. "That kid's pure evil."

"What'd you say?" Kaiba glared.

"Hi daddy!" The kid chirped.

"Call me Seto." He snorted.

"Ok daddy!" The kid replied.

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "What's your name?" Kaiba started.

"I have no name." The kid replied.

"Come on, your parents must have named you before they put you in the orphanage..." Kaiba said.

"No..Ms. Brinst told me that when I was born, my parents already wanted to put me for adoption so they never named me." He looked at Kaiba innocently with no expression of sadness. It almost made even Kaiba feel sorry for him.

"No kid. That's not going to work. You came so close to making me sad.. Keep working on it.." Kaiba smirked.

Oh poopy. I came so close.. The kid thought with an evil glare. Kaiba didn't notice.

"See!" The woman pointed at the kid with an accusing finger. "He's EVIL.." Just as she said that, his eyes turned eyes innocent.

"What are you talking about?" He looked down at the kid, and then the lady.

"Never mind." She said. He walked into the limo with the kid. "I warned you...I'd like to see you get tortured anyways.." She added in a whisper.

"Ok kid. What do you want your name to be?" Kaiba asked.

"Why the fuck should I care? It's only a word to be able to identify me." The kid crossed his arms, fuming about something.

"True, true..Hey, wait a minute. What did you say?" Kaiba asked narrowing his eyes.

"It's only a word to be able to identify me." The kid repeated.

"Before that."

"Why the fuck...should I...care?" The kid said slowly.

"I am going to KILL the person who taught you that word. Who taught you that word?" Kaiba seethed.

"You did. You said... 'How would you like to be fucking fired?' and so I took out the ing part to make it sound better." the kid smiled and Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"Do you even know what it means?" Kaiba asked.

"No, but by the way that Ms. Brinst shivered, I thought the word is something scary. Ms. Brinst IS the scariest woman I saw, and she looked scared by you. I don't understand why though. You are so nice!" The kid grinned.

Kaiba coughed. "Me...?Nice..?" Don't even think about it."

"Why..? Are you gonna make me study all night and beat me and take away all my duel monster carwds?" He looked at him with brimming tears.

"No. Don't even go there. You study two hours a day, and you pretty much have the rest of the day off. I know, I'm way too nice." Kaiba sighed.

Nice? I'm no idiot Kaiba. As long as you don't know my true identity for a while, I can work everything out.
