I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone and tell them I'm very grateful
for their reviews! I really never expected that big of a response! I'm so
happy! *dances around*
Bwhahahahah....ahahahhaha. Yes. This is chapter two. *puts up shields* Try all you may but you cannot break this shield! Mehe!!! Sorry. Too much caffeine.
Flames will be laughed at and used as sacrifices...then laughed at some more. Mwahahah.
Hey, what exactly does Kaiba's company do? I mean, apart from Kaiba- land...

Chapter two
Seto Kaiba
I'm finally getting off of this freaking island. I cannot express how relieved I am to be leaving this place with my little brother still in one piece. I can honestly say I will never, ever go back there again. Ever. Do you hear me?
I feel like pressing my face to the glass and making obscene gestures at the castle as it disappears from view. It seems a bit of Pegasus' twisted mind has rubbed off on me. I never quite understood what was wrong with that man. That is, until Yugi explained it. He'd lost his wife to an illness...and was trying to get her back. He'd used to be a painter but quit when she was gone.
I couldn't help but sit with my jaw hanging open. Pegasus was married? He used to be a painter? How is that possible? Painters are supposed to have beautiful, free and gentle spirits...but perhaps that's how Pegasus used to be. Perhaps he used to be friendly and loving...that would explain his whole immature obsession with cartoons.
But I still think he's a bastard.
Joey and Tristan were arguing about something involving dogs and monkeys. Tea and Yugi were laughing joyfully and Mokuba had fallen asleep. That all seemed fairly normal, especially about the dogs and monkeys...but what seemed out of the ordinary and slightly nerve-wracking was the fact that Bakura was sitting, looking out the window and laughing. He was laughing quietly to himself, but his body was shaking from the force of it...and there was something golden glinting in his hand, shining from the sunlight that had peered through the windows.
I decided to ignore this, considering it could be something disturbing or Joey's idiocy had just infected the poor man. Either way, I wasn't about to ask.
Once we had again reached land, I was about ready to fall on my knees and kiss the dirt. Joey did anyways; Tristan tripped him on their way out. Mokuba looked just as excited as I felt. Being trapped in that damn card must have really been rough on the kid. The two of us simply stood and stared into the distance, just happy to be there again as Joey and Tristan rolled around on the ground, punching each other and swearing. It looked as if it was back to being a business man. I smirked in spite of myself. Being Seto Kaiba the ruthless wasn't all that bad. Too bad I wasn't as intimidating to Pegasus as I was to my competitors.
Why the hell was I thinking about him again?
I shook my head and took Mokuba's hand, walking home. Yes, life was going to return back to normal. Right? Right?!
Damn it. Don't you dare get any ideas.
Eventually days passed by, and days turned into weeks, and after a while I'd finally realized it had been a month since we'd left that dreaded isle. My company was going well and Mokuba was getting better at business strategies. Yes, I just hope the power doesn't go to his head and inflate it like it did to me. Heheh.
I remember I had been sitting in my office, the desk nearly cracking under the weight of paperwork, when I received a message. A horribly familiar face appeared on screen. It was Croquet...Pegasus' minion. He didn't look as stern or angry as he usually did...so it was immediately obvious there was something wrong.
"Mr. Kaiba...we send apologies for bothering you." He began slowly, glancing over his shoulder from time to time. His voice had a kind of angst in it. "Then why are you bothering me?!" I didn't exactly speak kindly to him. Needless to say, I was less-than-fond of this man. "I'm sorry sir...but...there is a problem with Maximillion Pegasus...and you're our last resort." "We all know Pegasus has problems and I don't want to hear about them! It's nice to know that you would come to me last, but I'm guessing it hasn't sunk in that I want nothing to do with you people...after what you did to Mokuba..." my voice had gone from a low growl to a loud yell. Croquet visibly flinched...I felt proud at that moment. It's then I realized I am a sad, crazed man. "Please, just listen to reason..." "Why should I? You people never did." I spoke in a voice hissing with venom.
The look I gave the man could have turned him to stone...but Croquet was suddenly pushed off screen to be replaced by an angry young woman.
"Sir, if you had any compassion or respect towards humanity, you would help Pegasus. I don't know what you think you're proving or what kind of example you're setting for your little brother, but the only way people will ever get along in this world is to help one another." She slammed her hands down against the panel, and stared at me. "Pegasus has changed. But you haven't."
I was taken aback by the passion in the young girl's voice; I didn't even know who she was and was being degraded by her. And she was doing a damn good job of it. Of course, I'm known for being stubborn...I refused to submit to their wishes that easily.
"Why should I help him? How do I know there is even a problem? How do I know he's changed...and - why me?" "Pegasus needs someone stern for this. He's fallen into a violent depression...and no one here can get him out of it...he won't accept our help." "So you expect me to be that person?" I sneered at her and gave my cruellest laugh. I really felt bad after that though. Her eyes began brimming with tears. Crap. The puppy dog eyes...my only weakness. I attempted to shield myself from that look, but I could still hear her sniffling. Oh man, first the eyes, then the tears. What next? I didn't think I could take much more of this, if I did, I'd probably start crying which is a completely ridiculous concept that makes me want to laugh. I never cry. "Fine." I muttered, barely audible. I immediately regretted it. Her expression changed immediately, the tears gone and a smile on her face. "Thank you, sir! I knew you'd pull through for us!" She waved and the video went off.
I stood with my mouth hanging open. She should have won an Oscar for that. Yeah, like they even knew where I worked. I laughed out loud...but it was drowned out by the sound of whirring. A constant motion...it was becoming louder...and louder. What the hell?
I ran outside, wondering what the noise was about...a helicopter was lowering outside of the building. They sent a helicopter?! That fast?!
"They knew I'd crack..." I muttered to myself as the realization came to me. They'd been waiting outside for me.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Short chapter. Blahhhgh. No, I don't hate Joey, in fact he's one of my favourite characters, so please, don't flame me about it!!! If you have any suggestions for me, e-mail me at lessthanproper@hotmail.com thanks!
