I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Unfortunately 4kids still does.

Wheels of Fate. That would most accurately depict what happens on this night.

The Battle City Finals have started on a sour note. While Yugi Muto had managed to defeat the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring, it came at a cost to Ryou Bakura who was lying unconscious in bed.

Yugi and his friends, the hot headed Joey Wheeler, the supportive Tristan Taylor, the ladies man Duke Devlin and Joeys little sister Serenity were roaming around the KC Duel Ship searching for the organiser of the tournament, None other than our favourite CEO Seto Kaiba.

"We have to help Bakura" said Yugi.

"And land this thing" Joey replied while giving a thumbs up to Yugi "So let's find Kaiba. He must be in one of these rooms"

After hearing Kaiba's name, Serenity's attention quickly jumped to her brother. While she didn't know anything about Kaiba personally, from what her brother told her, he was nothing but a mean, self-centered, egotistical, cold hearted bastard who hates everyone. She quickly thought to herself "Is Kaiba really like that? If so I think it's best for me to stay away from him"

While Joey was commenting on their situation, Mokuba Kaiba, Seto's brother entered the hall from the elevator and took notice of the group. He knew that his brother was preparing to duel and that dealing with Yugi and the gang would just irritate him.

"You guys, this is a restricted area"

Taking notice of Mokuba the group turned around and faced him. Joey was the first to comment. "Hey Mokuba"

Yugi, concerned for Bakura's health decided to cut to the point. "Where is your brother?"

Pointing at a nearby door Mokuba replied with some slight nervousness in his voice "That's his room, but you don't want to disturb him"

Already out of patience, Joey ran to the door and banged on it loudly and repeatedly while shouting "HEY, open the door. Let's go Kaiba"

Realising that this would only infuriate Seto, Mokuba tried to get Joey to stop "ARE YOU NUTS HESE PREPARING FOR A DUEL STOP IT"

"I'm talking to you Kaiba. Get out here n . . ." Joeys rant was cut short by the opening of the door. On the other side stood the Kaiba Corp CEO, clearly irritated by the unwelcomed company that stood before him.

"If it isn't Wheeler. You're lucky to even be in my tournament, and yet you insist on making a nuisance of yourself over and over again" he snidely commented.

Joey, after regaining his composure clenched his fists to the billionaire "THAT DID IT"

"Hey this is no time to pick a fight so calm down man" said Tristan, who thought it would be best if those two didn't fight right now.

"Kaiba, you gotta help us" Yugi chimed in, who was trying to get the situation in order.

Groaning to this response, Kaiba replied "Now what?" knowing that they are here for yet another favour.

"Bakura's hurt, we have to land now. He needs to see a doctor right away Kaiba" Yugi answered.

Kaiba, knowing that they will just continue to moan until he answers grunted and returned into his room, allowing the others to follow.

"You're asking me to do the impossible" Kaiba said while sitting down on his chair. After getting comfortable, he indifferently continued "We can't make an unscheduled stop"

Yugi, clearly annoyed at Kaiba's blunt response angrily replied "Don't you understand Bakura needs help"

"He's been unconscious since losing his duel" Tristan continued.

"And if he gets any worse than he is right now, you'll be responsible" threatened Joey.

Shrugging the empty threat off, Kaiba replied with seemingly no concern for their requests "That's a risk I'm willing to take"

Suddenly a shy, little voice popped into the conversation. "Please Kaiba this is really important, show some compassion. Pretty please?"

Hearing a relatively unfamiliar voice and also noting its different tone and context, Kaiba turned his ice cold gaze to the source of this soft plea. Quickly noticing it was Serenity and thinking to himself "Who is this girl? She's not a part of the Geek Squad and is not someone I know so who is she?"

Serenity in the heat of the moment seemed to have forgotten who she was talking too. She obviously wasn't expecting such a blank reaction from Kaiba, much less his actual attention. Becoming very nervous under his silent and piercing stare, she shyly blushed and looked to the ground.

Tristan, noting Serenity's nervousness decided to try and back her up. "How can you say no to that face? Serenity is . . ."

"SERENITY'S RIGHT" yelled Duke. Who apparently had the same idea as Tristan did, receiving a scowl from him in the process.

Kaiba, wearing the ever Businessman-like mask, coldly replied, more to Serenity than the others "He shouldn't have left the hospital in the first place. This is Bakura's own fault" and began to turn his attention away from the little girl "NOW I remember. She's the Mutts sister. Why am I not surprised at this? Oh well, it's only a matter of time before she makes demands of me as well. Everyone does"

However Serenity wouldn't hear it, and after gaining another boost of confidence bowed down to the CEO, Begging "Kaiba please. Isn't someone's health more important than your silly game"

Returning his gaze to Serenity, Kaiba eyed the petite girl. Despite his outward "Mask", inwardly he was surprised at this display of concern and affection. He expected her to be like the rest of the group, speaking out of anger and frustration. He was shocked when she displayed manners, actually asking for his help and not demanding it like Yugi and Wheeler were. Inside he was curious.

Keeping her head to the ground, Serenity hoped that Kaiba was listening to her. Although she doubted he would. "Of course, he's a brilliant cold hearted CEO, why would he listen to me?"

"Listen to her will ya? . . ." Tristan started but was once again interrupted by Duke, who continued "She's got a good point. What's wrong with you?"

Kaiba, whose inward curiosity was now replaced with anger, looked away. This situation was really starting to piss him off. And then Joey, whose already miniscule amount of patience had run out started yelling at him.

"I've had enough of this attitude Kaiba. Find a way to land this blimp pronto or get ready to say hi to the business and of my fist" Joey threatened.

Now enraged, Huffing, Kaiba stood up and was about to tell them to get the hell out when he turned and accidentally looked within the hazel eyes of Serenity. Gentle, innocent and pure were the only things he saw, absolutely no hatred was located in them. It seemed that the hardness and reality of the world had not changed her. Suddenly he remembered her earlier words. "Isn't someone's health more important than your silly game" reflecting on them for a minute, he turned to Joey.

"I told you were not landing Wheeler" he said.

This irritated Joey, causing him to want to get what he wanted any way he could. "Then let's dance" however Kaiba simply moved past him. "Hey come back"

Yugi, who could sense the tension, restrained his hot headed friend"Relax Joey"

All of a sudden they noticed Kaiba accessing the comm. panel on the other side of the room. "Send a medical team to Bakura's room"

"Good call Seto, Kaiba Corps onboard medical staff has better training than the doctors at most hospitals. Bakura's in good hands here" Mokuba provided with a smile.

Kaiba sighed in relief as he heard them all leave his room; they had really begun to annoy him, sitting back in his chair, he closed his eyes when a pair of beautiful hazel eyes flashed across his mind. Opening his eyes in shock, he let out an annoyed breath, 'God dammit,' he concluded.

Outside Kaiba's room Joey, Yugi and Serenity watched with an amused expression, as Tristan led Duke to the upstairs platform to look for Bakura's Millennium Ring.

"I hope Mokuba's right about the doctors on board" Serenity commented, Looking at the ground with an almost solemn expression. 'At least Kaiba ordered a medic to Bakura's room. That was nice of him. But how can someone as self-centered and cold hearted as he's supposed to be do something like that, even though he was gaining nothing out of it. Could Joey possibly be wrong about him?" Serenity pondered on this thought as she silently returned to her quarters.
