Chapter 11: Payment and Plans

It took quite a while for the two giggle boxes, usually known as Yusei Fudo and Ryou Bakura, to calm down from their fits of laughter at the expressions ranging around the room. It didn't help matters much when Yugi joined, soon accompanied by Mai. Only Tanner, Boomer, and Kaiba were left to growl at the chuckling beings as they shot glares in the direction of the pale Healer.

"Now that everyone's quit doing hyena impersonations we can continue and begin to discuss some details," growled the still miffed CEO. Yugi, obviously getting irritated at Kaiba's mood, squirmed around and hissed in his ear, "For Ra's sake lighten up or so help me you'll be finding out how the living room couch feels for a month!"

Gulping lightly at the sheer honesty in the glare the smaller shot him Seto weighed the pros and cons while everyone settled into their original spot before sending a mental confirmation to his mate while taking a deep breath in order to calm the magic he had unknowingly awoken. So that was why Yugi had resorted to such drastic measures….

Shaking his head Seto was about to start when Yusei broke in softly, "I don't have that much money, but I'm pretty good at anything mechanical. And I'm not that bad at housework either."

The room could only stare in shock at the seemingly randomness of Yusei's statement when Ryou suddenly caught on and with wide eyes exclaimed, "Oh Yusei, you don't have to pay us! We want to help! Whatever gave you the impression otherwise?"

Yusei merely shrugged his shoulders as he examined the floor, finding it to be very interesting at that point. All nice and pale blue…

Boomer snorted as he raised one eyebrow at the pale healer and questioned dryly, "Do you even have to ask? Raised in the Satellite, remember?"

The group of immortals exchanged knowing looks before Seto stated calmly, "That makes sense, but we speak true when we say that we don't take payment for our services. I am a Kaiba, you know," he added superiousally, his own eyebrow raised in self-worth before Yugi giggled and reached up to smooth one finger over it softly. The tall CEO merely turned his head and placed a chaste kiss to his mate's palm before returning his attention to the raven-haired teen and his companions.

Yusei looked up confused before asking, "Then how do you want me to pay for my room?" Everyone else in the room facepalmed at the ravenette's lack of understanding. Just as Seto was about to attempt to explain yet again Tanner rolled his eyes before informing them, "Just come up with something. He won't accept otherwise, the noble idiot." Said noble idiot shot a mock glare at the tall blur haired man before turning an expectant gaze to the elder group.

What should we do? Mai questioned the others mentally, a hint of exasperation tinting her voice.

Umm…. Was Ryou's intelligent reply.

Soooo helpful Ryou, Seto told him dryly as he sent the mental equivalent of an eye roll.

I got it! Yugi exclaimed before abruptly breaking from the mental chat and turning to the younger duelist.

"You said you're good with mechanics, right?" Yugi questioned. Yusei nodded his head, eyebrow raised in question.

"Can you make those strange motorcycle thingies that you can duel on? Seto tried but it never really worked out."

At this a surprising smirk flashed across not only Yusei's face but that of his companions as Tanner guffawed, stating, "Can he? He custom designed and built not only his own but that of Jack f***ing Atlas. While in the Satellite where he had to scavenge for parts and make substitutions! He designs the programs in his sleep!" At the gob smacked expressions on the elder generations faces Yusei couldn't help the small blush that had begun creeping up his neck at Tanner's words.

"Really? How do you get the correct formula for the injection sequence?" Kaiba questioned, going fully into his inventive mode as he leaned forward in excitement, completely ignoring his mate as Yugi rolled his eyes fondly. Said man poked the other in the ribs and stated mildly, "You do realize that you've got months to quiz him, right?"

Faint pink spots crept up the pale CEO's cheeks as he realized the truth in his mate's words and leaned back. "Of course I do, it's just not every day that we come across someone with such knowledge around here."

Yugi rolled his eyes at the obvious attempt at a lie before turning to the clearly amused teen and asking, "Do you think that in payment for room and board you could

Teach Seto about all the confusing mechanics that make my brain hurt just thinking about,

Build a few seeing as how many of us really want to try this new form of dueling, and

Teach us how to become a turbo duelist if it's not too much to ask?

Yusei looked momentarily stunned before he smiled happily as he stated, "That would be fine! I'd love to!"

As Yugi beamed and Seto clearly plotted on what questions he wanted to begin with Boomer couldn't help but chuckle as he informed them, "If you're serious about wanting to become a turbo duelist you couldn't have found anyone better to teach you, that's for sure!" There was a loud bout of laughter at that while poor Yusei began blushing once more, unused to being praised.

Once the room had settled Seto shot an amused glance at the pregnant teen and asked, "If I might continue with what I started with?" Yusei nodded, the blush very evident on his pale cheeks.

Nodding in return Kaiba turned his attention to the room in general and asked, "How soon should Yusei move in?"

"Immediately!" Came the outcry from Ryou, Yugi, Mai, Tanner, and Boomer as they let their opinion known. Seto merely raised his eyebrow in question before Tanner growled out, "Jackass is his roommate, remember?"

"Ah," was the reply, the brunette already knowing the reason for his own companions' reaction. They were a little on the protective side when dealing with the small teen. Nodding once more Set stated calmly, "I agree, immediately would be best. In fact I believe the Constellation room is already prepared. So the question that remains is if Yusei can move in today?"

At this the room turned their attention to the small raven-haired teen who looked thoughtful for a moment before looking up and stating, "I believe it might be possible, though getting my stuff might pose a problem."

"How so?"

Yusei shifted slightly before replying, "Well, first there's the fact that I have to grab my runner, and then my stuff itself isn't going to be able to fit on the d-wheel in any case. Then the biggest obstacle I guess would be Crow, Kiryu, and J-jack," here he stumbled over the name; fear flashing in his eyes before he quickly concealed it behind his normal emotionless mask. Growls once more resounded around the room as they thought about the damage Jack had caused. Needless to say no one was thrilled with the idea of letting him anywhere near Yusei.

"You won't be going in there alone," Kaiba growled out, not even the soothing presence of his mate able to calm the faint crackling that accompanied those words. Yugi nodded his head solemnly and stated, "We'll send one of us along with you to make sure you'll be safe. They can take the car to grab your stuff, unless you think a truck would be needed?" Here he shot a questioning glance at the younger male who shook his head stating, "A car is fine, thank you."

Yugi nodded before looking contemplative for a moment as he began fiddling with a strand of Seto's long hair, deep in thought. Said CEO merely rolled his eyes, shooting the watching newcomers a glance that clearly read, "Mates, what can you do with them?" Yugi seemed to suddenly snap out of it as he turned bright, excited amethysts to Ryou and asked, "Do you think Malik could go? Me, Seto, and Mai are all too recognizable, and in your condition I don't think it wise or that he'd let you out anyways. Jay and Jess are very recognizable as well, but Malik is a little less so. What do you think?"

Ryou seemed to contemplate Yugi words carefully before a bright smile crossed his face as he exclaimed, "That's a perfect idea! And it'll get him out of the house so I can have a few minutes of peace!"

Chuckles met this as Ryou hopped up and began walking at a slightly fast pace to the door. Once there he turned around and shoot one last, small smile at Yusei before informing the room, "I'm going to go inform him what's been going on and send him on over. That way he can be ready to go when you want to leave. See you soon, Little Star!" And with that the cheerful Healer was gone, leaving Yusei and his companions slightly stunned at his abrupt departure.

Chuckling Mai explained, "Don't take any offense at that. He's a doctor and us3d to getting his own way. Well, that and more than likely had to go to the bathroom and just didn't want to sound impolite."

Understanding looks flashed around the room as they took in the meaning behind the words, though Yusei couldn't hold back his groan. So that would be him in a few months, joy.

.O.O.O.
