There was a small knock on the door to the Kaiba mansion. Barely audible to anyone but the maids, dogs, and Mokuba. The black haired Kaiba came rushing down the staircase, bouncing around a bit before opening the door. He blinked at who he saw. He'd only seen the boy once or twice in his lifetime, and that was when he'd been hanging around Yuugi and all of them. Mostly Honda and Shizuka, though.

"Aahhh..." The violet eyed boy tilted his head a bit. "What are you doing here?" He asked, forgetting all of his manners. The boy smiled.

"Is..." He paused. "Noa-san home?" Otogi asked the shorter boy. Mokuba nodded.

"Yeah...come in," He told the other boy, holding the door open for him as he stepped aside. Otogi looked around nervously, before stepping inside.

"I'll go get him for you, hold on, okay?" Mokuba left without an answer, running back upstairs and leaving Otogi alone in the Kaiba Mansion living room.

"Niii-saammaaaa...!!" The boy cried, pounding on the middle Kaiba's bedroom door. He waited there for a couple moments, before tapping his foot irritatedly and knocking again. "Come out of your room, Nii-sama! You have a guest!!" He tried again.

"Who is it..?!" Came a voice from inside the room.

"Uhhh...well, I'm not sure. Why?" Mokuba asked. He laughed at his own stupidity. "Well, just get out here, okay?"

Noa sighed. "What does the person look like, at least?"

The youngest Kaiba shook his head at the weird question, before trying to gather his thoughts. "Well, he's got black hair and green eyes...and a dice earring and this weird stripe down his face...." Mokuba was almost knocked over by the force of the door being swung open in front of him.

"Are you serious!?" Noa gasped, sapphire eyes wide. Mokuba gave him an odd look.

"Yeah," He said. "Why..?"

His question wasn't answered, however, because the other Kaiba was busy running down the staircase and into the living room, hoping and praying that he looked good and that he wouldn't screw up or stumble. His heart nearly flipped a good hundred and eighty degrees as he blushed furiously and tried to compose himself, walking into the room nervously. He smiled at the taller boy, trying not to avoid eye contact.

"H-Hello..." He stammered, arms behind his back. "If you don't mind me asking, what..what are you doing here?"

The black haired teen smiled, one hand on his hip. "Well, you ran off before I could thank you for the gift you gave me." Otogi explained, voice smooth as near silk. Noa looked away, trying to hide his blush.

"Oh...gomen nasai..." He muttered. The other boy laughed at Noa's nervousness.

"Don't be so shy, Noa-san.." Otogi tried, smiling. "Oh, and I had to return you this.." He said, holding out Noa's old journal. Noa blinked, taking it from the other boy's hands immediately and staring at it.

"How did you find this?" He asked.

"You dropped it..." Otogi chuckled. "When you ran away that time I saw you in the park." Noa's blush increased and he hid it behind his back nervously.

"Oh."

"I'm sorry, but I have to confess..." The sapphire eyed boy looked up at him, puzzled expression on his features. "I may have read some of it.."

There was a silence, as Noa immediately turned away, clutching the book to his chest and taking a breath. "Uhmm...oh, well..."

"Actually, I have to get back home, but it was nice meeting you." Otogi smiled, placing a hand on Noa's shoulder. "I'll see you soon, neh?"

Noa nodded, turning to face him again, blush slowly fading away. "Aaa...matte!" He didn't want to lose the only opportunity to stay in touch with Ryuuji. "Could I...have your phone number, maybe?"

The older boy blinked. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt..." He muttered, wondering why Noa cared. Then he remembered what he'd read in the boy's journal. He laughed to himself, before pulling out a pen from one of his pockets and writing a series of numbers on the back of Noa's hand. Noa blushed, smiling and nodded.

"Arigatou~!" The Kaiba thanked him, as Otogi left with a small wave. Mokuba came downstairs after their little conversation, snickering at Noa.

"He's that boy you like, isn't he?" Mokuba asked, teasing. Noa just glared down at him, before sticking out his tongue and running back up the stairs to his bedroom.
