A/N: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! and Namine is my own character. This chapter was originally huge so I split it in two. Review and tell me what you think. Thanks.

2-A Hidden Beginning

Great, what am I going to do Seto thought as he covered his face with his pillow. It was Friday morning and the next two days were going to be horrible. The gang was going to a concert for the weekend leaving him and Mokuba (whom he wasn't going to let go alone with them) with nothing to do for the next two days. Seto had a publicity TV interview for Kaiba Corp. on Sunday, causing them both to miss the concert, and what was worse, Namine was working the whole weekend.

"Ugh," he groaned throwing the pillow across the room. I don't even want to think about the next two days he complained in his head seriously considering faking sick. At least they don't leave until tomorrow he thought. That was good, they had today to hang out before the gang left. The bad thing was that Namine got slammed with work and couldn't get the day off (apparently, she was the best artist they had and everyone wanted her to do the job.) But it really wasn't fair. She had been able to visit only twice in the three weeks since she had arrived and it really sucked for the gang, even Joey and Tristan were missing her.

When he arrived downstairs, feeling gloomier than usual, he was greeted by the boys attempt to cheer him up (which worked. He really wanted to go to the concert and he didn't want to be the one to keep Mokuba home). Damn work he thought.

"Okay, on the agenda for today," Joey began in his best butler voice (which was pretty bad and made Seto laugh.) "First, the guys are way past due on a game of extreme basketball while the girls sunbathe, then, pool, chicken fights, Marco polo, etc. Then football or soccer, depending on the vote, and for the finale, food and a movie (his eyes sparkled at food, and he was distracted for a moment before continuing.) Now, lets GO!" he yelled putting his fist in the air like a ten year old on the day of a big game. This made everyone laugh, especially Seto.

The boys were soon in jerseys picking teams and the girls in suites getting ready to relax in the sun. The game was a three on three with Seto and Joey as captains. Seto, the tallest and strongest, ended up with Yugi, who was a great basketball player, despite his size, and Tristan who wasn't the best, but was still decent. Joey, the one who talks a good game, got Bakura, who was freakishly fast and maneuvered the ball so well it was like trying to catch a cheetah, and Mokuba who was quickly following in his brothers' footsteps. Fifteen minutes into the game, Setos team was up six points and the guys were all shirtless and getting whistles and comments from the girls on the sidelines (causing Joey to act like an idiot.) It was a close game with Setos team beating Joeys by only two points (which was Joeys fault. As always, he was showing off for Mai, and Yugi came and stole the ball for the winning shot.)

"Grr, that's it Yugi," Joey yelled as he tackled Yugi, who in turn, grabbed Tristan, who all three tumbled into the pool getting hysterical laughs from the girls.

"So you find that funny do you Mai?" Joey grinned slyly, popping up for air and climbing out of the pool toward her.

"Joey… Joey Wheeler don't you come near me," Mai shrieked as she began running from the soaking Joey who was determined to get her in the water, which he succeeded in no time.

Yugi had splashed Tea, causing her to tackle him, and Tristan pulled Serenity in. After getting the girls in, the boys set their eyes on getting Mokuba and Bakura in, leaving Seto the last man standing.

"Uh oh," he whispered as seven pairs of eyes glared at him. They tag teamed him; Joey and Mokuba tackled him from behind, Mai took his right and Bakura took his left.

"That was so not fair!" Seto laughed as he came up for air, flinging his hair out of his face. "That's it, your all going down," he yelled lunging at Bakura (who was the closest and most unsuspecting) then he took on the rest. By the end of the day, Joey had been dunked a total of thirty-two times and Tristan came in a close second of twenty-nine. Seto and Mokuba won at chicken fights followed closely by Bakura and Yugi, then Mai and Joey. They had too much fun in the pool to do anything else.

"Alright," Seto said after getting out of one of the many showers in his house. "Who wants food?" knowing full well whose voices would be the loudest.

"Me!" seven voices answered him, the loudest of course being Joey and Tristan. The rest of the evening was spent barbequing steaks and burgers and conversations of who did what and the gossip of the world. I think Namine would have really liked this he smiled as he watched Mai and Joey debate on the world's top rock star.
