Seto Kaiba was a busy man. His schedule was constantly overflowing with meetings and deadlines, business trips and to-do lists. Of course, that was understandable for the youngest CEO in the gaming industry. Which was why Mokuba was completely baffled when his big brother had elected to abandon his jam packed day to accompan the younger Kaiba as he traveled to several of the more prominent arcades, and customers, across Domino City.

Did I do something to make Seto think I couldn't handle these smaller customers?, Mokuba internally worriedly as he snuck glances out of the corner of his eye at his brother. They had already been to three arcades and distributors today but Seto had hardly interacted with the store owners at all, instead letting Mokuba handle the arrangements. Honestly, Seto had looked bored for most of the day. Even now as their black limo sped through the crowded downtown streets, his nimble fingers moved expertly across the key of his laptop. If Mokuba didn't know any better he would have thought that the CEO seemed almost detached from his thoughts.

"Mr. Kaiba, we'll be arriving at our destination in a few minutes," Roland called from the front seat. At the announcement, Seto snapped to attention. Mokuba jumped as his brother's head shot up, his blue eyes brightening as he all but slammed his computer shut.

"What's wrong?" Mokuba blurted out, panicked at Seto's abrupt attitude change.

"Hm?" Seto grunted, not looking at his brother but instead straightening the light blue tie around his neck. Mokuba didn't get to clarify as the limo slowed to a stop and Seto stepped from the car.

"Wait for me, Seto!" Mokuba called as he, too, clambered out of the car and onto the sidewalk. "Duke won't be expecting you, big brother!"

"Mokuba, sir!" The younger Kaiba stopped trailing his brother long enough to turn back to Roland. The body guard gestured to a large truck, white and emblazoned with the Kaiba Corp. logo, idling at the curb. The driver and his assistant peered out the window owlishly.

"Hey!" The two jumped at the outburst from the teen. "Don't just sit there! Go around back and start unloading!"

"Yes, sir!" They chorused, tires squealing as the vehicle gunned forward and jerked around a corner. Even though he was the younger brother, Kaiba Corp. employees knew to obey Mokuba on the first command.

Having taken care of directing his staff, Mokuba turned on his heel and scurried inside after Seto. It didn't take long for him to find his brother. Over six feet tall and dressed in his white business suit, Seto Kaiba was easy to pick out among Duke Devlin's customers. Mokuba jogged up to his brother, who was speaking with the Dungeon Dice Monster creator by the front counter.

"Hey, Duke," Mokuba greeted, sidling up to his brother's side. "We've got your new games around back."

"Hey, Mokuba," Duke returned the welcome, smiling tightly. Clearly the older Kaiba's arrival has thrown the young business owner. "Yeah, Kaiba was just telling me. I told him I could sign for them here but he wants to oversee the unloading."

"Is it wrong that I want to ensure that everything is just as you ordered?" Kaiba retorted, smirking and confident. Duke and Mokuba both shared a puzzled look at the request but ultimately no one said 'no' to Seto Kaiba.

"Alright. We can head back but Blue checks in all the new tech." Duke plucked a radio from his belt.

"Blue, come back." The radio was silent for a moment before the reply came filtering back through the speaker.

"What's up, Duke?" Mokuba noticed his brother glance at the radio.

"The new games from Kaiba Corp. are here."

"Well, thanks for the update," Blue snapped back, sounding irritated. "Just sign at the bottom of the form. I'm busy."

Duke blushed a bit at the snarky tone he was receiving; and in front of the Kaiba brothers no less! He cleared his throat.

"It's kinda important that you come check the orders, Blue," Duke tried to sound authoritative, but apparently that was the wrong thing to say.

"Oh, is it? I'm so sorry, but arena six is still down and it's not going to fix itself. But, hey, you're the one who kept that stupid contract with Industrial Illusions for these pieces of sh-"

Duke quickly turned the volume knob, silencing his technician's biting retort before she could finish her statement. Mokuba bit back a laugh at Duke's reddening face. The owner had to be embarrassed.

"Uh...we can pick her up on the way," Duke muttered as he marched stiffly around the counter and quickly started off down a side hall, the Kaiba brothers trailing behind. The trio passed a handful of doors, all labeled with numbers and lights showing if the gaming arenas behind it were in use or not. Duel arena six came up on their right, a "Down for Maintenance" sign taped precariously on the blue door.

"Blue?" Duke called as he entered the massive room, boots tapping loudly on the metal catwalk that surrounded the duel arena and lead to the two duel platforms. The arcade owner stomped to the blue dueling platform, sweating bullet as Kaiba continued to follow him.

"If it's the stupid card sensory input cable again, I swear I am gonna rip this whole stupid arena into scrap."

Duke and Kaiba both rounded on the platform where Blue was muttering to herself under the console, lying on her back and fiddling with the inner workings over her head. All the group could see of the girl were her black ankle boots, long legs, black shorts, and blue arcade polo.

"Bluuuuueeeeee," Duke called again, drawing out the name in a sing-song manner.

"Grr! What?!" The girl growled and finally looked away from her work, pushing out partially from under the eyes were blazing, clearly agitated at being interrupted yet again. However, as soon as her sight set upon Seto, the irritation turned into confusion.

"Uh...hi?" Blue asked as she slid out from under the console, tossing her braided hair over one shoulder. "What's going on?"

"Kaiba and Mokuba are here with the new games," Duke clarified as he silently revelled at the sight of his smart mouthed tech at a loss for words. Mokuba waved happily at the girl from his brother's silent side.

"Oh...ok," Blue tread carefully as she pulled herself. "Nice to see you again, Kaiba."

"Hmph. Pegasus's duel arenas giving you trouble?" Kaiba retorted smugly. Blue huffed out a breath, a few stray strands of hair puffing up as her breath caught them, and snatched up her discarded tool belt, snapping the article into place around her hips.

"It's nothing I can't fix," Blue eyed the man carefully before plucking a KC tablet from the console and unlocking it. "How you doing, Mad Man?"

"Pretty good, Blue," Mokuba grinned, happy to have the girl's attention as she moved past them all and began to lead the way to the loading docks. "We've got all the new games you ordered. I think you're really going to like them." Blue shot the younger Kaiba a small grin but then continued scrolling through her tablet. Her smirk disappeared, however, as they reached the loading bay.

"Huh. Looks like your guys made a mistake," Blue muttered as she watched the Kaiba Corp. duo unload the last of six massive crates. The team huffed and puffed as they finally lowered the last of the heavy load onto the dock, wiping their sweaty brows.

"Say what?!" Mokuba eeped, panic surging into his system. A mistake? On his watch, too?! Seto was going to lose it. "What do you mean?"

"We only ordered five consoles but your guys unloaded six," Blue explained as she lowered the tablet to Mokuba's level so he could see her copy of the order she had placed. Mokuba's eyes flickered over the screen as he took in the information. He was mortified. How could this happen? And on all the days it just had to be the one his big brother was with him?!

"Hmph. It's not a mistake."

Mokuba and Blue both turned to look at Seto, shock and curiosity on each face. The older Kaiba stepped forward, smirking.

"You ordered and paid for five of my latest games but, since you're such loyal customers, I have graciously thrown in another," Seto explained as he put his hands in his pockets, appearing relaxed and in complete control. Duke and Mokuba's jaws both smacked the floor, dumbfounded. Blue was hardly impressed, though.

The girl stepped around the CEO, keeping her stony eyes on his before turning to quickly analyze each of the shipping labels. She finally found one she hadn't been expecting.

"This is that sorting game. Like the one at Kaiba Land," Blue said, trying hard to keep her astonishment out of her voice. "You're really just giving us a game easily costing over ten grand?"

"You set the high score," Seto shrugged. "Besides, I had two."

Duke and Mokuba looked back and forth between Seto and Blue. Both were completely amazed at the out-of-character generosity of the young billionaire. Blue, however, wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

"Fair enough," she chuckled and quickly began scanning the barcodes with her tablet. "Duke, we need to make room in the main concourse for this one. It's gonna get a lot of play time."

"Uh...oh!" Duke jolted out of his stupor and quickly turned to Seto, bowing low in respect. Regardless of their past interactions, Duke knew when manners mattered. "Thank you, Kaiba. I really do appreciate it."

"Don't mention it. Ever," Seto muttered as his humor vanished and his trademark dangerous glint returned to his eyes. Duke gulped and hastily turned away, choosing instead to begin calling for assistance over his radio.

"All the maintenance and warranty info can be downloaded from Kaiba Corp," Seto said and looked back to Blue.

"Oh, Blue has that handled, Seto," Mokuba piped up. "Blue!" The girl turned back to the brothers, having scanned all the crate's labels.

"Will you show Seto that awesome app you made?"

"Huh? Yeah, sure," Blue replied, sounding bored, and handed her tablet over to the older brother. "It's just a little administrative app I programmed. I can access all the data for each of our consoles from there," Blue explained. "Suggested servicing dates, when parts should be replaced and where to order. There is also a map feature for the arcade."

Seto scrolled through the menu selection. He had to admit to himself that the interfacing was simple enough that even someone who wasn't completely computer literate could use it. Not to mention that the appearance of the app looked more profesional that some of his own apps did.

"How did you add the new consoles already?" he asked.

"I added a server link for all the developers we buy from," Blue added. "I just need the barcodes and then all the game data is downloaded from the web. Pretty cool, right?"

"You developed this on your own?" Seto asked instead. He knew better than anyone how time intensive and complicated it could be to create even a simple app for his tablet tech.

"Blue makes all kind of apps," Mokuba supplied. "She even made that Duel Monsters app you like."

"You created the Duel Data Specs app?!" Seto was genuinely amazed. That was probably the best selling Duel Monsters app in his entire online store. He used it, too; no other app had such a detailed rundown of every monster in the game, including all the new releases Industrial Illusions made.

"Yeah, but it needs an update," Blue shrugged.

"If you are impressed by that, wait until you see this awesome project-" Duke's bragging on his employee was abruptly cut off by the villainous glare Blue suddenly leveled on him. Seto Kaiba was an astute individual, though.

"Project?" the CEO queried. Blue huffed out a breath and took her tablet back.

"Just something I've been working on," the girl waved off the question. "If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to get done." Blue brushed past them all and back inside.

"Thanks again for the game, Kaiba," she called back with a wave before vanishing from sight.

"Uh, please pardon her rudeness," Duke begged as he took the clipboard offered by the Kaiba Corp. employee and scrawled his signature across the bottom. "But, seriously, and I didn't tell you this," the duelist leaned a little closer to whisper conspiratorially, "you should really check out Blue's presentation at the Tokyo Tech Expo in a few weeks. It's super cool."

"Hmph. Thanks for your business," Seto clipped and turned on his heel to march back to his waiting limo. Mokuba said his good-byes and hustled to catch up to his big brother. Seto Kaiba, however, had retreated back into his own head.

If she can make one of the most popular apps for my store, who knows what else she is cooking up, the CEO thought with a slight grin. He may have started today with a silly idea to merely see the girl again but now he could feel a real drive to create an acquaintance with this young woman. Kaiba Corp. could use a new 'it' product.

Seto knew now; he needed a plan to see this 'super cool project' before anyone else.
