"Families can be such a pain"

By: Nyago

--

Kaiba Seto was not a man known for his patience or anything related to the word 'Sweet and kind', however whenever it came to family business he had unfortunately had to make room for exceptions. Although he never got along with his father, even shortly after he passed away, Seto heart had only room for three individuals of his family whom he consider his most precious; one was his loving mother (who pass away when he turn 13), little brother and his second youngest cousin Atemu.

Now don't get him wrong, Seto did care for Jounouchi however he can't give a piece of his heart when Jou already took most of it. So in the end, he ends up having three close precious people, and one he completely adores. (Just don't let Jou know that or he will never heard the end of it)

"Hello Mana" Seto greets as he enters the living room of his cousin house, settling himself to the ruby red coach on the right side corner of the room, allowing him to face the gigantic windows.

"Hello Seto." Mana replies back. Although they always being close since little, to the many thanks to Atemu whom just had to befriend even the butlers of the mansion, the two had a mutual agreement and called each other in first term basics. Very rare considering they weren't even that close friends however they enjoy each other company when the one they care about is no where in sight. "How are you?"

"Same as always."

"How's Mokkie?"

This brought a smile to Seto lips, even for a bit, "He's fine, bigger every day, you should visit sometime. You know as well as me, you are family even if my dear cousin family adopted you. Beside I have no say when it comes to Mokkie, and he asks me about you."

Mana smiles, "Thanks, I might take you on that offer. So, looking for Atemu I presume?"

All seriousness return, "Yes, it's urgent actually." One of the maids came as the words left Seto mouth, brought up drinks and left the room. Seto had visit so offend as a child that the staff didn't bother to ask what he wanted and did not question him whenever he look around the house. It was just another master in the house.

"Well right now he's on his charity drive but he should be getting home soon." Mana replied as she sat herself next to Seto and pick up her own cup, the maid was kind enough to leave, even if she was part of the family since a child, something's just made her feel uncomfortable at times.

Seto chuckle at this, Atemu has always being the most kindness out of all his family members, not that there was many left considering he owns Kaiba Corp. all on his own, (Until his brother is of a good age to join him even though he does help from time to time, but Seto wanted his little brother to enjoy his childhood more than he did). And his youngest cousin also owned the biggest corporation next to Kaiba Corp. But Seto Company deal with games while as Atemu company deal with the most advance medical technology. After all, both his parents were doctors and very famous for that, still are but because they did a lot of travel, they always left Atemu to take care of the main base of the company in Japan to be run and maintain by their only son.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Seto turn to face the doorway that lead to the other room. Foot steps grew louder and small but a cheerful welcome was heard, 'Good afternoon Master' as the steps gain closer until all came to a stop,

There stood a man a bit shorter than Seto but not by much, his deep crimson eyes stood against the dark Egyptian skin tone him in heritage from his mother side. Seto looked and smile; just the man he was looking for, "Welcome home Atemu"

"Honestly, I don't know which is worst between you or that woman!"

The screen of the TV flashed from one scene to the next, as the characters moved and laugher took its place; Yugi sat lay back on his sofa popcorn in hand as he watched the drama unfold itself in front of him. He wasn't much of a person to watch TV but he gotten home so earlier than usual he when to help grandpa with the store, gone up and finished his homework that he wanted for once to shut down his brain for the night. Reading requires him to focus but he couldn't, at least not tonight.

"Honestly John, how can you let that woman into this house is beyond me, and to marry her of all people. You really have no taste!" The woman yelled.

Scene changed, "Veronica you know as well as me that I am in love with her, whenever you think she' good person or not, I will continue to keep my marriage, with your approval or not!"

Yugi chuckle at this, Drama were so lame these days, it was more like watching bad comedy on screen expect with the exceptional kissing and hugging between characters but he enjoy it none the less.

"Well, I am glad to see SOMEONE is wasting their Tuesday evening watching Television." Yugi turn his head to the sound of the voice, only to see Rebecca standing in his living room door, leading against the entrance wall.

"Glad to see someone came to ruin it." Yugi replied smiling and laughing to see his old friend.

Rebecca pouted but let it slip, "Ah ha-ha, you are just SUCH a funny guy Yugi dearest. Mind if I join the party?"

"Suits me just fine." Taking her cue, Rebecca took her sit next to him. "So how's life treating you?" she asks.

"The same…" Yugi trailed off but Rebecca sense something else.

"The same as in? You are continuing to drool over a certain someone who hasn't shown himself to school in the past week? Or…?"

Yugi eyes widen, "Hey, how did you know?"

"I got my resources darling." She smiled wickedly.

"Uh huh, just like your resources told me his favorite color was purple but its red."

"Ah! That wasn't my fault! It was Leon! He was the one who said, 'Oh, he likes the color purple because I saw him pick it out during this charity work he does every so offend. I saw him, I was there!' he said it." She crosses her arms against her chest.

Yugi just smile, "It's alright, I am not blaming you or anything beside, its not like I was going to give him that gift anyway, it was stupid."

"Grr! I hate it when you say that!"

"What?" Yugi blinded innocently.

"You think just because he's some "God" among your school, you aren't worth enough to give him something YOU took your time into making and even bother to try to find out what his favorite color was. I swear, if it wasn't you liking him, I would had punch his face by now"

"Rebecca!"

"I'm serious! I know you for what? 10 years? Since babies? Come on! Just because you are older than me by 3 years does not mean a thing. I would have given him a piece of my mind when I had my chance back in Valentine day."

Yugi laughed a bit at the memory, "You ask me to marry you that day"

"And I still stand by it! If you and I don't find or get the ones we love then damn you and I are ending together. I rather be marry to someone I care, than none at all." She hugged him. "Right?"

"Yeah" He smiles as he looks at her face to face. Eyes connecting with each other. "Alright, I will marry you if I don't find anyone by the end of 25." He puts his arms around her waist to bring her closer,

She smile, "Ha; see totally reading my mind now!" foreheads touch each other briefly until interrupted by a voice,

"I don't want grandkids being born here!" At these both of them took off each other so fast not even a camera could have caught that.

"GRANDPA!" Yugi yelled, putting his hand right in his heart, trying to calm it down a bit. "What a mean and rude thing to say!"

"SERIOUSLY" Rebecca yelled just as loud.

Grandpa Sugoroku laughed, "Well I figure the only way to get your attention was by doing so, you two were so close to one another!" He smirks.

"Grandpa…" Yugi voice took a serious tone.

"Yes, yes, I know, not expecting grandkids at all; got it." He smiles as he took a sit in the arm chair. "Well I didn't come for your romantic gateway; I came to inform you that your 2 year visit to your doctor is soon Yugi. Probably around next week or so."

"I though those were over…" Yugi questioned, he's always gone to the doctor ever since he can remember, but as he grew older, the visits became less frequent. It wasn't like he was sick or got any type of diseases but his grandpa just wanted to make sure he was healthy.

"Afraid not, until you are age of 18 you will continue to visit him. So your last appt. will probably be when you do turn 17."

Yugi sighed, "Oh well. Can't be helped right?"

"Rebecca stood up, "Well I am off."

"So soon?" Yugi pouted.

"Yeah, school night beside it is getting late." She smile, when over and kissed Yugi in his cheek. "Thanks for the entertainment" and walk out to the hallway and towards the front doors, opening and closing the door behind her.

"Well, I am off to get some sleep myself" Grandpa Spoke.

"Yeah, Goodnight Grandpa" Yugi said.

"Good night Yugi" and with that he left the room, leaving Yugi and the currently still mute TV. Looking at the TV screen again, Yugi lay back.

"Pharaoh…What honors do I have for having you brought to this humble side of the palace?" Heba asks as he lay down his book stood up and bow mid-way.

"You know I hate it when you do that." The young pharaoh replied as he put his finger under Heba chin to bring up his head upward again.

"I can't recall that you have." He replied softly, looking into his kings beautiful crimson eyes and getting lost in them.

"Stop it." He commanded.

"I beg your pardon?" Heba asks confused.

"Stop with the whole format thing, stop calling me pharaoh, stop doing what you do every time we meet. Is like I always meet you for the first time every time we talk, when we are alone, I want you to look at me and stop the format talk understand?" His spoke in harsh words as if venom was coming out of his mouth.

Heba looked at his young king once more before he felt the pharaoh lower his body to meet his small frame and capture those small and delicious red lips the pharaoh has being dying to try all day. "Say it…" He whisper harshly as he puts one arm around Heba waist to pin him hard against him and the other arm to hold the back of his head, to keep it looking up.

"Ah…but…" Heba whispers almost tasting the pharaoh lips against his own.

"Say it!"

"Ate….Atemu." Heba whispers before he was cut off by the pharaoh lips against his own. A battle against tongues began but soon Heba melted into the kiss and allow Atemu to take complete control. "Ate…."

Yugi snap out of his daydream, and place his hand against his chest. 'What…was that?' He questions as he sees his back in the living room and the TV remains mute. Taking greedy chucks of air, Yugi stood up from the couch, turn the TV off and walked towards the nearest bathroom. 'I must be loosing my head…' His mind concluded. 'But…' Yugi doubts himself once more, 'it felt so real…' shaking his head and splashing water against his face, Yugi took his time to look at himself in the mirror. "No…too much reading, that's it." He replied, watering his face once more and grabbing the towel nearest to him, drying his face off. "I better go to sleep, or that thing that happen today could come back again" Taking one last look at himself, he put the towel in place and turned the light off, heading towards his room and bed for the night.

"You seem better this morning" Yugi yawned and turn around to look at his best friend face, "Ah thanks..?"

Jounouchi smile as he walked side by side with Yugi as they both enter the school entrance. "Get enough sleep I am guessing?"

"Yeah, I had plenty" Yugi smile as they both walk towards their locker rooms. "How was your date with you know who? I hope you didn't get into trouble because of me" Yugi question as he turn to look at his friend face, worried written all over it.

"Ah no, he was cool with it. He just said next time it happens to think fast and take you to the nurse office." He laughed at the memory, remembering after that, Seto said he require him to be punish, not that he minded.

"I'm going to take a guess that your smiling right now like an idiot is a good thing." Yugi chuckles as Jou snaps out of his perverted thoughts, "Ah, hahaa, yeah, well.." He blushed.

Putting the last of his book away, Jou locks his locker and turns his body around to face Yugi's, before he could even began to ask about yesterday, a voice broke out.

"So I see you save me the trouble of looking for you." Jou smile and turns.

"Good morning to you too Seto" Jou walks up towards him and gives him a quick kiss in the cheek before moving away.

Seto smiles but notices he isn't allow, Mutou kid still there. "Just the one I wanted to see."

Yugi looks confused, "Huh?"

"What are you talking about Seto?" Jou asks, looking between Seto and Yugi.

"Exactly what he means Jounouchi" another voice spoke.

All eyes turn to look at the other who reply. "Ah…" Jou began.

"Hello Jounouchi, I hope you don't mind." Atemu asks sweetly.

Jou blushed, always being a bit intimidated by Atemu appearance, "Ah no, it's cool by me, but what do you guys mean earlier? What do you want with Yugi?"

Yugi eyes were ready to pop at any given second. He promises himself not to be afraid if Atemu ever made eye contact or even as slightly acknowledge his presents but he couldn't help it. This was the guy who he had a crush on for YEARS. How can he not be a bit afraid?! He was rich, smart, beautiful, and successful. What would he want from some poor kid down the street?

"Is more than just what we want from him, it's what he has." Seto cut in.

"Huh?" Jou look confused.

"As Seto said, you" Atemu points towards Yugi, "have something I want." He smiles.

The room begins to tense and the only thing registering in Yugi mind is, 'what does Atemu Ankhenaten want with me!?'

-Chapter End-

HAHAHA, He has FINALLY shown his face eh? Well, I hate to leave you guys in such a cliffhanger but I am going! XD Don't worry, I don't plan to leaving you guys hanging for long, I hate cliffhanger myself (when authors do it to me) so I will keep you thinking for a couple of days until my next chapter. Oh and before I forget, Atemu last name is an Egyptian name, it means "he who works for Aten" I though it matched well. (I will be using Egyptian names for now on in later chapters, so be in the look out for the translations!)

Rebecca and Yugi are best friends, please do not bash her! I love her, so I am going to use her as being the only girl our poor Yugi gets interaction with until later on the story. And yes, I am cruel. But you love me none the less. :)
