"Big brother," Mokuba said quietly from outside the CEO's bedroom door. A cough, then a sneeze was heard inside. "Come inside, Mokuba, please," Kaiba replied back, giving a casual sniffle as his little brother opened the door to come inside. "Hey," The CEO replied with a smile, a red Rudolph's nose, cherry cheeks, strawberry chapped lips, black saggy bags of exhaustion under his blue eyes, and red veins inside the whites of his eyes as well—not to mention a bit of snot drooling down one of his nostrils.
Little Mokuba grimaced, he was not use to seeing his older brother who worked himself to death so sick. "How are you feeling, Seto?" The innocent blue eyed both asked; the teenager smiled. "I am fine, Mokuba," The CEO replied quietly and hoarsely through sniffles. Mokuba rolled his eyes, for of course he not believe his brother's words made of pure stubbornness. "I should be at work," The CEO complained for the millionth time, his little brother sighed.
"No, Seto," The little boy argued. "You and I both know very well that you need to get some well needed rest," Kaiba snorted.
"The President of Kaiba should always be—"
"Always be at work?!" Mokuba asked upset and slightly angered by that statement. "Seto, you have plenty of people who work under you who can take of things for you while you are away," A tear dripped from one of Mokuba's eyes. "Besides, don't you ever want to see me? Here? With you? Just us hanging out like when we were both just little kids?"
The CEO gave his brother a sad look. "Of course, Mokuba. . ." It was Mokuba's turn to snort in defiance.
"Anyways," The blue eyed innocence began again. "I have come to inform you that the new virtual reality system is ready to be tested, but as your miniature doctor I'd recommend you stay in bed and call someone to do that bidding for you," Suddenly Mokuba's eyes glitter happily. "Maybe you could call Yugi and—"
"Mokuba!" The CEO yelled despite his weakness at that current time. "I'd rather eat the fleas from that Mutt Wheeler's hair than invite him here to test that sytem for me," A glare formed on his face again, but not towards Mokuba—just towards some random object across the room. "He and his friends would contaminate my machine with their—"
"SETO!" Mokuba yelled, both sad and flustered by his older brother's statement at the same time. The CEO looked down. "Sorry, Mokuba," Came the whisper from across the room. Mokuba sighed. "How about you invite some people that have challenged Yugi in the past?" A chuckle came from Mokuba, not a cruel one—an amused one. "Wouldn't they be 'Not-So-Infected-With-Yugi-Germs-Losers' enough?"
Seto shook his head side to side slowly in amusement. "If you persist little brother," The CEO replied to the little blue eyed boy he was related to. Mokuba's eyes glittered happily. "Now get ready for school you little runt and have a great day!" The CEO chirped out.
Mokuba laughed, then left as Kaiba called to out several distinct people with his Kaiba Corp Phone that could locate anyone he wanted to speak to as long as there was signal. And, not only did that CEO call the Paradox Brothers, Rex, Wheevil, Ryou Bakura, Bonz, and Arkana, but he also called Marik for the heck of it—it wasn't like he cared if the guy or any of the other peopletrying the machine got hurt, but he also called some very random people who actually were reborn people from the past—Shaada, Mahado, and Akunadin.
