Rating: Ner...PG with a side of mild swearing
Pairings: Seto/Jou (eventually), hikari/yami (maybe), Mokuba/OC (Hitomi, and might)
Original Characters: (in upcoming chapters) Hitomi, Bewd, Rew, LD, Tasha, Riker, Laptop, and I think that's it.
Spoilers: Err...none, I think.

Summary: Mokuba is getting tired of his brothers wandering about the house in a lethargic state. He has a plan, and is going to get it to work... (note on summary) This is a rather vague summary, because I'm not quite sure what direction to go with yet. All I know is that things are not going to go as planned...mayhaps.

Chapter One -- Phase One, Game Set
Mokuba paused outside the door of the Game Shop. He didn't know if this would work. He was hesitant to try out his plan, but he was getting tired of hearing his brother wake up every morning and then searching the mansion for someone who had never stepped within the door. That was until he had properly woken, and then proceeded to act as if he had not been doing anything out of the ordinary.
Mokuba pushed the door open and walked inside.
Yuugi was behind the counter, as was a rather bored Yami, Anzu was playing the newest version of DDR in the corner, Honda was 'attempting' to play the game--a.k.a. just sitting on the dance mat and hitting the spaces arbitrarily--,Ryou was playing a dice infested game of Chess with Otogi and Bakura was riffling through a binder of Duel Monsters Cards.
Suddenly, Ryou threw a die at Bakura. "Put that back."
Bakura's shoulders slumped as he slid a card back into one of the blank spaces.
Mokuba cleared his throat before anything could escalate any further. "Um...hello?" Everyone looked to him, with the exception of Anzu who was currently bopping in time with 'Break Down'. That made him want to turn and flee, but remembering a certain brown haired sleepy-head in his mind strengthened his cause. "Heh, I was just wondering if someone would go skating with me..." He let his sentence hang and added the patented 'chibi-eyes' for effect.
All of them groaned and shrank away from Mokuba, as if he carried the plague. Yuugi was the one who spoke up.
"Take Jou. He likes to skate."
Anzu, who had just finished getting a 'PERFECT' in 'Break Down' made a 'pfft'ing sound. "You can say that again."
Honda rolled his eyes and said in a bored tone, "He likes to skate as Anzu likes to dance..." He looked back at the screen and selected 'D2R' from the list.
Anzu didn't reply to that. The game was calling, saying, "Everybody dance with me, dance with me..." However, the game also seemed to be calling the two yami, eyes blank and soulless. Honda evacuated the mat he had been sitting on as Yami took his place there, Bakura standing on the mat that sat beside that. Not that this was a three player game...at least currently.
Both hikari chuckled at their others' antics, knowing that the games lights and beat was what turned the two into zombies every time that specific song came on.
Yuugi grinned and shook his head, then turned his attention back to the thoroughly confused Mokuba. "Yeah, Jou'll go with you. To the rink across town, right?"
Mokuba blinked. "Rink?"
Otogi leaned forward boredly. "Its a place where you go to fall on your ass repeatedly with the skate guards blowing their whistles every time you meet Mr. Floor."
"Actually," Jou said as he walked through the door, "a skating rink is a place to skate on a wooden floor, with the music blaring and where you have fun. What Otogi was describing was what happens when he goes skating." Jou chuckled at the smoke that poured out of Otogi's ears.
Mokuba grinned. "Can I wear my inlines?"
Jou grimaced before saying, "As long as they haven't been worn outside."
Mokuba tilted his head to the side. "Why does that matter?"
Jou rubbed his eyes, and with an exasperated sigh, said, "Because that'll ruin the floor."
"Oh....well...when can we go?"
Jou paused. "There's a session that starts at seven thirty and goes onto ten thirty, but it has organ music."
Mokuba's eyes lit up. "When?"
"Tonight."
Mokuba grinned. "I just have to tell my brother!" He ran out the door. He walked back in, chagrined.
Jou chuckled. "We'll meet here at six thirty, okay?" He outright laughed at Mokuba's subdued and reddened nod.
Mokuba walked back out of the Game Shop, pulling a cell phone out of his pocket.
"Phase One commenced."
Well? I know it was a rather short chapter, but I've already started to write up the next one. Plus, I'm kinda leery about putting this out unbeta'ed. Anyone want to beta for me? Wondering about the title? I was looking in my little dictionary for a word that began with a 'k' (Katsuya) and found kinetic. Then I went to my big red dictionary and found Kinesics which evidentially means 'the study of bodily movements, facial expressions, etc. as ways of communication or as accompaniments to speech'. Slightly more fitting to Seto, ne? Review, please?
