It was a lovely sunny day in Domino and everybody enjoyed it, everyone except Seto. He could not stand seeing everybody happy. Their smiles and laughs were like daggers stabbing at his heart and there seemed to be no end to it.

He has been depressed again for a few days. Yugi had won him again in a game and he never could heal after Yugi scared him. He has punished himself again by isolating himself away from the rest of the world for almost a week now and he barely ate or drank.

He needed to win Yugi, but he did not know how. He had tried many things and never succeeded. He needed to find a weakness and he needed to make his advantage. Seto knew Yugi was good and he knew that Yugi always turned out victorious, but giving up is worse that losing. He needed a plan and he found one.

So there he was sitting in a public area between people that irritated him, but if his plan was to succeed he needed to gather enough information. He just had to endure the stabbing and the occasional fan bothering him.

He needed to be unnoticed, but with a face as familiar as his that was impossible. Today was his first day of his new investigation, but so far it is sure to fail. He needed a disguise before his target spotted him. He knew that for the time being he had to retreat. Even if he found a mask of some sort, his clothes would still give him away.

Then he suddenly noticed a clothing store across the street from the park that he was in. He knew that he would not find his style of clothing there an he knew that he would regret buying anything in such a low class shop, but he needed a disguise. He then made his way across the street and into the shop.

As soon as he entered the shop he realized what a big mistake he had made. It was a very small shop and there was not a big variety available, but even worse than that he notice that the girl working there knew who he was. The girl made her way to him so fast that it looked as if she was running a race. This irritated him, but he noticed that she was working alone and that was a relief.

The girl stopped in front of him looking at him as if he was the greatest man ever to walk on the earth. She struggled to speak, but after a moment she straightened herself and said: "Mr. Kaiba sir…It… It is a great p… pleasure to finally meet you s… sir. I…I a very big fan and…."

Seto hated having fans and having girls fall at his feet. They did not know him at all. They only loved him because to them he was just a handsome young guy who was the president of a massive company who had a thick wallet, but that much was true and he loved being rich. Money had so many uses.

He reached into one of his pockets and pulled out neatly assembled money. He then lifted it in the air to gain the attention of the stuttering girl. Once she was quite she spoke: "All this money is yours if you will help me, keep your mouth shut and tell nobody that I was here." The girl was a little shocked and saddened but once she looked at the money she agreed.

After almost an hour Seto stepped out of the shop. It took longer than he thought it would take, but he was not very pleased with what was in the store and the outfit he was now wearing was not that bad, but he hoped that nobody noticed him in it, because it was not branded and half as neat as what he had worn before.

He now wore a black jean, dark brown sneakers, a plain cream t-shirt and a dark brown blazer. While he as in the store he also got a pair of sunglasses and a stylish cream hat. He hated the clothes although it did suit him. He did not like to change and he missed his own clothes, but he only though of Yugi once and he moved on.

He was still not unnoticed, but nobody seemed to recognize him. Girls kept staring at him and guys kept glaring at him. He was very irritated, but he knew that he had a mission and moved on.

He lost his target, but had an idea where his target might be. He walked in the direction of the nearby arcade. The amount of people on this rout got less and that calmed him down. Once he turned onto the street on which the arcade was he saw his target leaving alone.

Maybe he didn't need to gather information; he now had a chance to complete the first step of his plan. His target walked in the opposite direction and Seto followed. While walking Seto phoned someone telling them where he was. He continued to follow his at a distance until he noticed a limo turned onto the street. He then gained on his taget. Once the limo was close enough he grabbed and covered his targets' mouth. When the target kept squirming he held a dagger against his victim's throat.

The squirming stopped and he threw the victim in the limo and got in. Seto set opposite the victim and next to a big man pointing a gun towards the victim. The air was thick and Seto loved the atmosphere while his little victim was still clearly stressed.

The limo started moving and the victim quietly asked: "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

This question raised two curious eyes. Everybody knew Seto... Mokuba leaned forward searching for his brother. The man between him was too big. He kept leaning forward until he saw a glimpse of Seto. This made him fell to the ground of the limo laughing.

Seto was surprised to see his brother, but irritated by his laugh. He glared at his brother and asked: "What is so funny?

Mokuba continued laughing for a while, but then gained control and went to sit next to the captive who was now looking confused. He stared at his brother in disbelieve before saying: "You look ridiculous! Don't get me wrong, it is a nice outfit, but surely it is not your style and I was not informed that we would have company tonight."

The captive looked once again at the man before gasping and saying: "We? That must mean you're… Seto Kaiba…"

"See what I mean brother even your girlfriend does not recognize you!" Mokuba said before laughing again.

"She is not…" Seto sentence was interrupted by the captive's voice: "Never! I would never date a bloodthirsty insane freak!"

This angered Seto. He moved forward towards the girl and held his dagger out next to her throat again before saying: "Listen Téa, you should watch your mouth or do you want a 'bloodthirsty insane freak' to slide a knife down your throat? Also do not worry about what my brother said because I will NEVER date an unmannered unsophisticated worthless girl like you."
