Hey! Gosh! I'm overwhelmed by all the wonderful reviews! Thanks so much! Great feedback. Well, my only hope is to reward you with a great chapter, so here it is, chapter 5 of "It's All Business."

Disclaimer: All characters and figures used in this story belong to their rightful owner, Kazuki Takahashi.

Kaiba exited the meeting room, heading off towards his office. Now that he had time to brood over it, he actually didn't know what this company did. He hadn't even heard of them. It was a complete mystery to him. As he passed his secretary he gave her some instructions.

Seto: Send out all my letters to Yugi Motou and his friends.

Secretary: Yes sir. (Hastily bringing out a stack of envelopes)

Seto: Don't spend time reading stupid articles. Send them now. (He said impatiently)

Secretary: (Nearly dropping her magazine from under the table) (O__O) Y-yes sir.

Seto walked into his office. It was done, and he had no idea what he was about to get into.

As Yugi, Yami, Tea, Bakura, and Ryou were walking towards the Game Shop, a familiar-looking, pissed-off figure was heading out in a different direction. Malik was grumbling all the way out of the Kaiba Corporation. He didn't see the need for him to go. Why was he even called by the "famous" Seto Kaiba? It wasn't as if he felt like helping the pharaoh, the midget, and all their other weird friends.

He passed an old lady with groceries and proceeded to swipe a box randomly from the bag without her noticing.

Malik: (O__o) Mr. Porgie's All Natural Great-Tasting Prune Juice?! What the hell? What is this world coming to?

He chucked the juice into a nearby trashcan disgustedly, and proceeded to the important location of…absolutely nowhere.

Meanwhile Tristan and Duke were waiting for Joey to come out of the bathroom.

Tristan: Dude, you almost done in there? (He called to Joey.

Joey: Yeah! Just give me ten more minutes! (He yelled from a stall)

Tristan and Duke: (O__O) T-ten more minutes?

Duke: Geez Joey, if you wanted to go so badly, why didn't you just go before we went to Kaiba Corp?

Joey: (Silent)

Duke: Joey?

Joey: (Silent)

Tristan: Joey!

Joey: Be quiet! I'm in my mode now!

Tristan and Duke: (O__o) Oh boy.

Back At Yugi's House

Yugi: So what movies do you guys want to watch?

Bakura: Tomb Raider.

Yami: You would.

Bakura: Got a problem, you oversized starfish?

Yugi: (O__o) Ouch.

Yami: It's you who's got the problem, you albino rat!

Ryou: (-__-) Now where have I heard that before?

Ryou and Yugi: (Both looking murderous)

Yami: (Shutting up)

Bakura: And another thing! (He began to trail off, looking at Ryou) Never mind.

Tea's POV

(O__O) Save me. Is this all they do in their spare time? Insult each other? Boys. (-__-)

Normal POV

Tea: Hey guys, let's just pick a movie we all agree on.

Ryou: Works for me. What do you want to watch Tea?

Tea: How about "What—"

Yugi: What was that?

Tea: No, I'm pretty sure it's called "What Goes Around." (A/N: I completely made that up. It's so lame, I know. But just bare with me here. ^__^)

Yugi: (o__o;) No, I mean…what was that? (He asked pointing towards the window.)

A dark, shadowy figure was shuffling towards the door. They could hear him muttering from the window. He looked like he had a hunchback and appeared to be carrying what looked like…a knife?!

Bakura: Holy Ra! What the—

Ryou: Holy crickets! What in the bloody name of the queen was that?

Bakura: (-__-) You're too British for your own good.

Ryou: So? What do you have against the English?

Yugi: Hello! Deal with your personal issues later! Freaky killer outside!

Yami: I'm sure you're just exaggerating Yugi. No one's going to…

A sharp scratching noise came from the door. Followed by a loud banging as whoever it was attempted to force the door open.

Yami: …Kill us? (O__O)

Yugi: Yami! Get rid of him?

Yami: What?! Why me?

Tea: Because you're supposed to be the all-mighty and extremely brave pharaoh!

Yami: (Looked proud) You're right! I'll just…

BANG! SCRATCH!

Yami: …stand right behind…tomb robber! Be my guest!

Bakura: What? No way, stupid pharaoh. This is your problem, so you deal with it!

Yami: How is this MY problem?

Bakura: It's your house, isn't it?

Yugi: Yes. And Yami, if you want to continue living inside of it, then you will get rid of that freak! (His innocent eyes flashing for once in his life)

Yami: (Blinking) Okay…then.

Bakura: Ha ha! Your aibou dissed you good!

Yami: (Walking calmly over to the door…actually he was shaking in his boots)


Yami closed his eyes and with a final sigh, he whipped the door open, awaiting his immediate death.

"Uh…hi."


Yami opened his eyes to find that their murderer was…the mailman.

Mailman: (Hoisting the huge bag from his back) I've got a letter here for Yugi Motou.

Yami: (Looking like he was about to pee in his pants)

Yugi: I'll take that. Thank you! (He shut the door, clutching a letter)

Bakura: You all right pharaoh? For a moment there, I thought you were scared. (He said sarcastically)

Yami: Scared? Me? No! (Slightly calming down, but jumping every time one of them spoke)

Bakura: Right.

Yugi: It's a letter from Kaiba. That was really fast. (-__-)

Ryou: Open it up old chap!

Yugi slit open the envelope and took out a lengthy letter. He scanned it briefly and said.

Yugi: It's just the details about the flight and everything.

Bakura: Ah…about that. Ryou?

Ryou: What is it Bakura?

Bakura: I'm not going.

Ryou: Okay. Wait—what?

Bakura: I'm…not…going.

Ryou: Ha ha ha! I actually thought you were being serious!

Bakura: (-__-) Yeah…anyways. Have a good trip, kill some birds for me, and all that crap.

Ryou: Ha ha h—oh. You were serious.

Bakura, Yugi, Yami, Tea: (-__-;)

Ryou: Yami, I really don't think it would be a good idea to leave you here all by yourself.

Bakura: Why not? (His voice getting lower by the second)

Ryou: Because you're not—

They were interrupted by the phone ringing.

Yugi: I'll get it!

He ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone.

Yugi: Hello?

Seto: Did you get the letter?

Yugi: (O__o) Um…yes. That was really fast, Kaiba. (Thinking 'what a weirdo!')

Seto: Yes well. I trust you know what to do then? You're not ALL complete morons. I guess. (He heard a crash from the background from the phone) Or maybe you are.

Yugi: (Also hearing the crash) Uh oh. Well, I guess I have to go now, Kaiba. Thanks for the letter and for the trip and everything!

Seto: Hmph. I'm only doing this for my company, Yugi.

Yugi: Riiighhttt…anyways, I've got to go now! Bye!

Seto: Hmph.

Yugi: (o__o) Okay then.

He hung up the phone and returned to the pandemonium that awaited him.

Somewhere in a dark, secluded place…

Someone's POV

I am glad my plans have not yet failed me. Seto Kaiba has done well. He shall be rewarded soon. The pharaoh will not know what awaits him when he reaches Hadleyville…Hayliville…Haldaville…ah hell, the town that ends with ville…I think. Or was it side? Damn! Well, it matters not. Everything is arranged. Soon, my destiny will be fulfilled. Soon I will be satisfied with their suffering.

Oooh. Serious ending. I don't know whether or not this is a "cliffhanger", I guess that's up to you to decide. Can you guess who the mysterious person is? Don't worry, this isn't going to turn into a scary story. The humor will keep coming. Next chapter I'm thinking of starting the plane ride. That'll be interesting. I'm also thinking about making longer chapters and putting in a little romance, but I'm not certain. What do you guys think? Well, as always, thanks a lot for reading! If there are any comments, questions, or cries of outrage, feel free to ask! Your opinion means so much to me. Keep smiling, make your tomorrow's better today, yada yada yada. Thanks!
