Is it true?! A long chapter, yes painfully so!

Party Surprise

"I feel like an idiot" Seto whined looking at his brother, who was dressed in another Armani tuxedo and looking like the younger version of himself. He held the Item for security; his fingers couldn't stop caressing the cool metal.

Come to think of it Seth had not bothered him for three days now, and strangely he was beginning to worry.

"Oh, Seto-kun are you starting to like me?"

Seto jumped fifty feet into the air, at the voice that answered him in his head.

"What is with this 'kun' business!" Seto screamed back, he could feel Seth smiling.

"You are my Seto-kun after all. What do you prefer kun or little?"

Seto sulked for a moment; irritated "kun is better"

"Good, I so do like the Japanese language."

Seto was boiling his arms folded "So what can you tell me about this?"

"About what?" Seth asked

Seto almost stamped his foot

"About the charity ball!"

Seth chuckled delightfully "A surprise"

"What do you mean a surprise?!"

"Exactly what it means, and no I'm not telling you what it is Seto-kun. I know you are so jealous that Suu went back to old Max. I told you she likes rich, angsty, semi psychopathic men." He purred

Seto sighed, "I really hate you"

"I know, but I still /like/ you."

"NII-SAN!" Seto flicked out of his thousand-yard stare and looked down at his brother.

"What's wrong?" he asked somewhat stupidly, his cheeks flaming with rage.

Mokuba cast him a dubious stare and sighed "We have to leave, have you been listening to a WORD I have been saying for the last two minutes or so?"

Seto shook his head

"Oh, God I think some of that girly air headedness carried over to your normal self nii-san"

Kaiba didn't answer his brother and straightened his tie, he was wearing a deep blue, long tailed tuxedo from Versace. Very simple, but well made. He felt odd out of his trench coat and tight clothes. And these shoes, they were too flat...

He moaned

Guess Suu tried her best... Her best didn't work! I want to punch something, why am I going. I DON'T LIKE HER!!!!!!!!

"Denial" a voice echoed in his mind.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SETH!" Seto screamed out loud and Mokuba looked at him oddly as they left the mansion...

Yuugi and Joey felt quite out of place here with the rest of the gang. Yes he knew that Mokuba had invited them, but still... All these adults were a little unnerving... To many Big People, Joey had put it. Tristan and Tea had walked off, looking for the nearest buffet table. Thus it was now only Yugi and Joey to stand close together, whispering about all the snobby people.

This was definitely the rich crowd and where there were rich people that idiot Kaiba would be. Joey's fist clenched, feeling shame and remorse. To ever even liking SATO Kushimara. When he saw Kaiba he was going to kill him, and sure enough...

That FREAK!

Joey took off a running sped toward Seto Kaiba and his brother, who had just entered the massive room. Seto's eyes were glued straight ahead, he seemed to be drifting. As if things weren't really there.

And then...

Chuckles contacted flesh and Seto staggered back, blood running down into his mouth. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand he looked shocked as Joey Wheeler's face came into focus.

"YOU BASTARD!" Joey screamed his tuxedo hanging limply on his frame, Seto charged and aimed for Joey's face. But suddenly there was a person standing in front of them. He barely stopped in time, his fist inches from a white face.

A woman with pale blonde hair and deep blue eyes, which were narrowed in anger.

"I will have no fighting tonight!" she said loudly, Seto stepped back and was speechless. She looked familiar somehow, wearing that periwinkle blue ball gown. But for a strange reason he could not put his finger on it.

"Joey Wheeler apologize to Mr. Kaiba!" she said again

Joey nearly spit and shook his head "When Hell freezes over and rocks fly!"

"You DESERVE to feel guilty MUTT! I wasn't the one who was OGLING at my CHEST the whole friggin time!" Kaiba screamed, the place had gone deathly silent.

"WHY I OUTTA!" Joey pushed past the innocent looking girl and was ready to duke it out with Seto when a hand to his chest stopping him. Joey froze up, it was Kaiba. And Kaiba was touching him...

"Mr. Wheeler" Seto closed the distance between them, getting very close to Joey's face.

"You are the one who should be punched for thinking such dirty things about me." Seto whispered in his ear.

Joey was going red, this wasn't, couldn't be Kaiba... There was something in his eyes that was different then before. He became trapped in the twin pools of sapphire blue, and Kaiba smiled.

"Oh, poor Joey I know you won't say sorry. But I forgive you anyway" Seto purred, pushing him away. For a long moment Kaiba continued to stare distantly...

Joey saw that the strange light had faded, and wondered why his heart was beating so fast. He was blushing too... Turning he ran into the crowd and was lost sight of a moment later.

Seto was reeling from whatever had just happened, his head felt like it was going to spilt into two. Hands steadied him; he looked up to see two women, one in pale blue and another in black. That was the last thing he saw though before he fainted away.

"SETH I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR SPLEEN OUT!" Seto screamed at the top of his lungs.

Seth giggled evilly "But it was fun I don't care if you rip my spleen out, I liked teasing Joey more then I like teasing you Seto-kun. You know he does have a huge crush on you."

Kaiba nearly pulled all of his hair out "I DON'T CARE! HE IS A FOUL DISGUSTING MUTT! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN, HE IS GOING TO THINK..." he trailed off and went very pale...

"That you like him?" Seth finished and Seto attacked him. The High Priest was laughing loudly, even as hands were closing like two vices around his neck.

Seto shook him over and over "I LIKE GIRLS YOU HEAR ME! YOU SADISTIC FREAK!"

Seth eyes brightened, he stopped laughing and brought his hands up to Kaiba's. The moment his touched Seto's. Seto felt weak and his hands fell away, Seth caught him as he fell.

"Do you like my spell? I have found out another way to get you to shut up." Kaiba wanted to retort something back, but found he had no energy. Seth's arms were so warm that he felt like falling asleep wasn't such a bad idea...

Seth smiled as he saw Kaiba drift back into sleep,

"Finally some peace. By Ra, Seto you do not have a single funny bone in your body..."
