Seto Kaiba's Little Sis

A Cold is Not a Good Thing For a CEO

________________________________________________________________________

"It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring!" sang a loud Setra as she continued to trash her room. "It's raining...it's pouring...."

~~~~~~~~~~

Seto Kaiba looked concerned. "Oh great, now she's singing that stupid song!"

"I think we better go see what's she's up to," said Mokuba.

They both went upstairs, and the guard, who brought a big piece of wood from who-knows-where to deflect all objects thrown at him, went also.

To their amazement, Setra's messy room was no longer messy. It was sparkling clean and everything was in order.

Kaiba glanced at the guard with an eyebrow raised.

"I swear, sir, I wasn't lying!" stuttered the guard. "The room was a complete mess when I was here!"

"I admit it was slightly messed up," said Setra cheerfully. "But I was only doing some redecorating." Setra began dancing around the room while singing "It's Raining, It's Pouring."

"Setra," said a confused Mokuba, "why exactly are you singing that song?"

"Because it's raining, silly!" answered Setra, still being very cheerful.

And it was actually raining outside.

"I expect that it will be snowing in a couple of weeks!" said Setra, still singing.

They all stood motionless for a second, except Setra who was still singing and dancing around the room.

She suddenly stopped, and gained a more peaceful and serious composure. "I'm going out," she said in a business-like tone.

Setra left, after shooing the three men from her room and locking the door, leaving three very confused people behind.

"Well, you heard her," said Kaiba. "There's no reason to stand around here anymore." He and Mokuba went downstairs.

It took a few seconds for the guard to realize what had happened.

He left also, later reflecting on his crazy, but hot, mistress.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Setra stood outside, letting the rain fall down on her

Just a few minutes later, she thought, then I'll be ready to go back in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten minutes later, a very soaked Setra entered the mansion, dripping from head to toe.

She smiled at the astonished guards.

"Have I ever told you that you were insane?" said Seto.

"Once or twice," answered Setra. "I like the ra-aa-aa-a-AAAATCHOOOOOO!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Thursday morning and Setra was in bed with a cold. "I can't go to school today, Seto."

Kaiba sighed. "I guess I'll call the doctor and have him write a note. But if you didn't go out in the rain yesterday..." He trailed off.

Setra smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shizuka looked at her watch worriedly. School was to start in 1 minute and neither Kaiba or Setra was here yet. I hope nothing happened to her, she thought. The Kaibas were known well for being at least 20 minutes early.

At the last minute Kaiba entered the classroom with no Setra nearby. He handed a note to the teacher and muttered something. The teacher nodded, and Kaiba went to his seat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Setra sat in bed. She was bored, even thought she had all the maids to wait on her. Setra didn't have anything to do. She couldn't read since it made her eyes hurt, she couldn't write since her hand and head wearied soon, she couldn't listen to music since it made her head pound, she couldn't eat anything snacks or something enjoyable, and she couldn't sleep at all. I'm beginning to think that setting up Seto isn't worth getting sick on purpose, she thought grimly.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Shizuka and Anzu wondered what happened to Setra.

"Do you think she's sick or something?" asked Anzu.

Shizuka shrugged, "Maybe it's a Kaiba Corp. thing."

"Maybe we should ask Kaiba," thought Anzu.

Shizuka looked at her incredulously. "Maybe that isn't a good idea." She thought.

"Well, Setra is our friend, and friends look out for each other. We must ask Kaiba, because friendship is a very important thing, and-"

"Okay, I'll ask!" said Shizuka. Yeah, she was Anzu's friend, and her speeches weren't that bad, but they just sometimes get a little...annoying.

Shizuka walked to Kaiba. "Kaiba, I was just wondering, why isn't Setra here today?"

"She's sick," Seto Kaiba replied. "Now go away so I can finish my book."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Setra sighed. She looked at the clock. 2:50. Her brother was going to be home any minute now.

Maybe I overdid it on the singing and dancing part, thought Setra.

The door to her room opened.

"Hi Seto," said Setra.

"Hey," replied Seto. "How are you feeling?"

"Good. I think I can go to school tomorrow."

The phone on the drawer next to Setra's bed suddenly rang.

Setra picked it up. "Hello?"

"Setra, it's me, Shizuka," said the caller.

"Hi Shizuka!" said Setra.

"How are you feeling?" Shizuka asked.

"Why does everyone keep asking me that...I'm perfectly fine. I just got a cold, that's all."

"Are you coming to school tomorrow?"

"Yup. Wait, wasn't I suppose to give you your lesson today?"

"Yes, but you're sick so you can teach me tomor-"

Setra cut her off. "No! You're so close to catching up. I know! I'll have Seto go over to your place and have him teach you instead!" exclaimed Setra as if that was the smartest idea in the world. She knew perfectly that both Shizuka and Seto would protest.

"No!" exclaimed Shizuka.

"NO!" shouted Seto, who had heard everything.

"YES!" exclaimed Setra in a voice louder than Shizuka's and Seto's voice put together. "You'll do this for me, won't you Seto? And Shizuka, you should be happy now that you can get caught up quicker. Is that a yes from both of you? Ok, then it's agreed! Seto will be over there in 5 minutes! Bye!" Setra hung up the phone before Shizuka could say anything.

"I am not going," said Seto.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

5 minutes later

Seto Kaiba grumbled and cursed under his breath as he rang the doorbell of the Jounouchi residence. "Damn Setra and her puppy dog eyes!" he whispered harshly.

Jou opened the door. His eyes nearly popped out when he saw who it was. "Kaiba! What are you doing here?"

"To give your sister a lesson in math," said Kaiba grimly.

"What! But it's usually Setra who does dat!"

"I know that! But she's sick today so she begged me to come," muttered Kaiba. "Now, where's that sister of yours?"

Right on cue, Shizuka came down the stairs. "Oh, you're here. Come in."

Kaiba walked past Jou and sat on the couch. "Now, what lesson were you on when Setra last taught you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shizuka was poring over her math book while Kaiba sat next to her 2 feet away telling her what to do.

"Okay, then you carry that over and add it to the sum to get your answer."

Shizuka wrote for a while, and gave the paper to Kaiba for checking.

Kaiba looked over the answers with a frown on his face. "You got four wrong out of ten. Which is sixty percent correct, which is a D."

Shizuka frowned. "I would have done better if you teach me the way Setra teaches me!"

"I didn't want to come here. You can't blame me!"

Shizuka sniffed indignantly, and tried to correct the mistakes she had made with the math problems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lil angel/devil: Ok, I know that last part about Seto going to teach Shizuka was a little vague, but please bear with me!

Anzu: You got straight to the point with that one.

LAD: Yup. Oh, and I'm sorry that there was a little bit of Anzu-bashing in this chapter. ^^; (Is that considered bashing?) It's just that she goes on too much in the anime about friendship so.....yeah.

Anzu: Mean authoress......

LAD: Anyways, please vote, as usual. This time, I'm not gonna post up the votes any longer because the voting is almost over(almost but not yet) and I want my readers to guess the pairing (of course you could go ahead and count up the votes on my reviews, but that would be a big waste of time).

Anzu: So please vote before it's too late!

LAD: Yeah, what she said!
