The tall glass building, standing out above the other buildings, was guarded by two Blue Eyes White Dragon. A small boy on his mothers hand pointed at them, yelling there were dragons standing there. But his mother laughed and said the were only statues.

A boy with long, black hair grinned as he passed the little boy and his mother, as he walked into the large building. The grandeur of their company often amazed people and it made him proud that his brother was the CEO of all this.

He ran passed the information counter, briefly waving to the woman sitting there and quickly entered an elevator. With a push on the button, the doors silently closed and the elevator brought him to the top floor.

There he entered an office, where a brown-haired teen was sitting at the desk, his fingers going quickly over the keyboard of his laptop.

"Big brother, have you seen the news?"

"What news, Mokuba?" Seto Kaiba asked, without taking his eyes from the screen.

"The duel-disk system is rated first in the recent electronically gadgets ratings."

"Hm." That was all the reply that came out and Mokuba sighed.

"You could show some enthusiasm about that."

"Why would I be surprised? I designed it."

A grin appeared on Mokuba's face as he shook his head. It was true, his brother designed the technology that brought the cards from duel monsters to live with holographic images, both the stadiums as the mobile duel-disk system, their prize product. Their company was specialized in the entertainment and gaming industry, holographic and virtual technology as their key focus. The first they were well-established in, the second was still in development stages and with the hacked test game and later with Noah's virtual world, his brother wanted to have the safety programs fail-proof before bringing it to the market.

The phone on his desk rang and Seto picked it up with a short and annoyed 'Kaiba'.

"Hey Kaiba! We all were going to the duel monster happening down town. Wanna come?"

"Wheeler," Seto grumbled in the phone. "I don't have time for such nonsense. I have a job to do."

"Say what? Come now, you can't work all the time."

"Listen Wheeler, I have better things to do then to hang out with you dweeps. I have a company to run."

"Ever thought of personality lessons, rich boy? Jeez, why do I even bother? Yug can ask himself next time. This is just a waste of time."

"Exactly. Remember that for the next time." With this Seto hung up, grumbling about being disturbed for something trivial as that. It's not that they had to work together against Dartz a while ago that they were all friends now.

A secretary came in to remind Seto of the meeting and he sent her away with an icy glare. He knew that and didn't have to be reminded to it. A meeting with the board of directors, where past figures and numbers would be discussed, and running and future projects were evaluated. One of them being virtual games, like the one he had tested after duelist kingdom. And he had written down some ideas for a new project after that, but he wasn't going to discuss that on the meeting just yet. He wanted to build the prototype first.

When the time came for the meeting, Seto Kaiba got up from behind the desk, his long purple coat moving violently from the sudden movement.

"Let's go, Mokuba."

Mokuba quickly followed his brother, who never seemed to walk calmly. He followed him into the meeting-room, where the older men were all sitting and talking to each other, but they stopped the moment Seto walked in. Ignoring them, Seto walked to up front and glared at the men, who seemed to be uneasy under his look.

"Let's hear it."

With these words the meeting started.

Kaiba was sitting, listening to what his underlings had to say. There was some arguing back and forth about what the company money should be used for.

"About these virtual games," one of the directors said. "Study has shown that war games and other types of first-person shooters are highly popular for the pc and other platforms. Maybe we should create a virtual war game."

Even though this idea got approval from the others, Seto sent the speaker an ice-cold glare.

"No."

"But mister Kaiba…"

"No, we will not create such a game. War itself is bad enough, why should I want to re-create that in a game?" The tone in his voice dropped to a dangerous one. "If I would be interested in that, I could have just kept Kaiba Corp as a weapon company and let my step-father use my idea for virtual software for war instead of games. Since I took over his company, we are not affiliated with war in any way. Do I make myself clear?"

With the directors quickly saying it was very clear and that it was a good view to uphold, Kaiba got up, saying the meeting was over and left, Mokuba quickly following him.

They didn't speak, until they were in Kaiba's office again.

"You made the right decision there," Mokuba said and Seto nodded.

Kaiba Corperation wasn't the same company as his step-father had created. Before Kaiba had taken it over, it was a big company in arms dealing. But he turned it around and made it a gaming company.

There were still people out there who knew what Kaiba Corperation was in the past and coming out with a war game could seriously hurt their reputation. And he just didn't want to come out with such a virtual game, it went against his own beliefs.

He had dealings with concerned parents in the past that felt his holographic images made the card game to violent, but he always was able to come with arguments to ease their minds. Pointing out that the images were the same as the cards and even though the monsters battled each other, when destroyed they just shattered in pieces instead of some gruesome death, almost similar to tearing up a card, was usually enough. The uproar that would come with virtual war games wouldn't be dealt with that easily
