Seto sighed heavily as a leant back into the comfort of his leather office chair, the chair squeaking softly in response to the shifting of weight
Taking his right hand into his left, he massaged it through.
After having a week worth of documents and files to take care of within 3 hours time tended to irritate the new callous Seto had received due to excessive amounts of work.
He sighed again, mentally applauding himself, while also thinking back to that morning.
His husband had seemed to be mad at him, for some reason, a reason that Seto was unaware of.
And, what ached his heart the most was the fact that Katsuya had not remembered their daughter. The
Katsuya was acting strange. That was for sure.
The brunette brought his hand up to rub his chin thoughtfully.
He would be contacting the Motou's before he went home today.

The wailing continued on as Jou looked to his sister, confusion set in his eyes.
Shizuka carefully set her tea on the tray upon the nightstand, Jou looking to the door, and then back to her.
"Well… I should go chec-" Shizuka began, looking to Jou, who sat up abruptly in the bed.
"I- I wanna… Can I come with?" Katsuya stammered, not sure why he'd even asked.
"Of course." Shizuka had let out a small laugh, waiting for him to follow her.
Jou stood from the bed, his legs feeling stiff beneath him, as he had been in bed for quite some time.
"Come on…" Shizuka nodded, leading Jou out of the bedroom and into the massive hallway.
Katsuya was amazed at the architecture of the ceiling panels and design of the sponge-painted walls.
Few pictures hung along the corridor, all were in color, giving more life to the dark yellow walls.
Mokuba stood with Seto in one, the younger Kaiba clinging to Seto's arm, while smiling to the camera.
The next picture involved only Mokuba, in which he had been staring off into space…
"Or was asked to pose like so by a professional photographer…" Jou had wondered idly.
The following picture made Jou halt in his tracks.
There, in the photograph, stood Jou himself, arm linked around Seto's own. Both were dressed in clean black suits, smiling to the camera as they both held a plastic knife to a rather large white cake that stood in front of them.
Jou recognized Yugi, Tristan and Tea standing off to his side, as well as Mokuba, Yami, and Shizuka at Seto's. The men in the picture wore similar black suits, while the women wore lengthy blue gowns.
"Was this…" Jou had whispered, eyeing the formal attire in the picture, and the cake before them.
"That… was your wedding Jou." Shizuka answered his unfinished question, standing a few feet behind her brother, arms clasped behind her back, and a smile spreading across her face.
"March 14. On White Day…" Shizuka laughed softly, eyes misting slightly at the memory.
" It was truly beautiful, Jou… You two were so happy." Shizuka continued, looking wistfully to the picture, before snapping out of her reverie.
"I'm sorry." Katsuya murmured, thinking he had upset his sister.
"Yeah…" Shizuka had whispered before making haste down the hall, Jou following quickly, looking to his feet instead of the picture-lined halls.
Shizuka halted not too long afterwards, causing Jou to crash into her.
"Oh… sorry." He'd yelped, earning a glare from the brunette, before being shushed.
They entered a darkened room, the lights not having been switched on yet, but Jou could still make out the pale pink of the room, typical for a baby.
Light soon flooded into the room, and the crying ceased to soft hiccups.
Jou looked around the room as he followed his sister to the small crib-like bed, which stood in the middle of the room.
The room was a pretty large one, although not as large as the one he had just come from.
The room's contents held the bed, a small dresser, a pair of twin nightstands, a large corner filled with an assortment of a toddler's toys, and a small desk, upon which were piles of scribbled on paper, stood.
"Shh… Shh… it's ok…" Came Shizuka's voice, through Jou's thoughts as he stood next to her, peering into the crib as well.
There lay a small girl, looking at about the age of 2 or 3. Her head bore a messy mass of black hair, while her eyes shown of a bright green, tears streaming down her rosy cheeks as she peered up at the two.
"She… she doesn't look like either me or Kaiba…" Whispered the blonde, a hint of something in his voice.
"Katsuya… that's because you and Seto adopted her…" Explained his sister, stepped away from the crib.
"Go ahead…" The brunette gestured.
"Pick her up…" She smiled, looking to the little girl beneath them.
Katsuya, taking this act as an opportunity, leant down and carefully took the child into his arms, and lifted her out of her beautifully decorated bed.
He held her to his chest, wondering what he was doing, as he rocked her back and forth.
It felt so natural, to be holding a baby to his chest, his breath hitching slightly.
Of course there was Shizuka he had taken into his arms when she was a child, small and fragile.
A small mumbling caught his attention as he was brought back to earth, shifting coming from the little girl.
"Chi… chi…" Came the more audible childish, yet sleepy, voice.
Katsuya's eyes widened slightly. Chichi. That was what he was, wasn't it?
"This is wrong…" Katsuya whispered, his heart racing.
He couldn't be given this much in such little time. It was too much for him to handle right now. Especially when he didn't know what was going on, or how he'd gotten into this mess.
"This… This… No I can't." Katsuya said aloud this time, gently giving the child to Shizuka before racing out of the room.
((A/N:: Hm… Well first of all, I'm so sorry for waiting so long for this update, I know it took forever, I didn't mean to, honest. ^^ Please forgive me? Miah, and I hope you all liked this chapter as you did the others. I know, it's really short, but I'll make it up to you with a super long one next time, yus? Erm, I think I made Jou sound weird in this one, though. Hm… I dunno ^^. Nee, and I'm going to try and bring in some other people into the story, like Yugi, Yami, and some others, I don't want to spoil it ^^;;. So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
