I hope everyone is enjoying this so far. Here is chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEEP! BEEP!
Damn alarm clock.....with its ringing comes a new day of torture for me. I guess I'd better get up......
"Nii-sama! Good morning!"
"Hey Mokuba....ready for camp!"
"Hell yea!"
"You know, I don't think you should be cursing!"
"Why? You do it all the time when you talk about Jou or Yugi"
-_-"Let's just eat breakfast"
Eventhough I am stinking rich, I have never hired a cook. I actually only have a driver, and some people who come in and clean the place every once in a while. I don't need anyone to take care of me, and I can take care of Mokuba.
"Seto, I want eggs!"
"Haha, ok, don't want you to get hungry"
"Camp is going to be so fun! What are you going to do while I'm gone Nii- sama?"
"Well, I have to the Mutt's house for a month"
"Why? I thought you hate him"
"It is for a school project."
"Oh, well, I hope you have fun!"
Yea right.....fun
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Goodbye Nii-sama!" Mokuba waved at me as he boarded the bus. I admit I will miss him. The longest period of time we have been seperated was when he got kidnapped by that bitch known as Pegasus J. Crawford. I had my things ready and I planned to go to the Doghouse after this.
"Bye Mokuba!"
"Ready to go Mr. Kaiba?" It appears my driver was getting inparient with out long goodbye. I'll fire him later, I don't want to be mean to anyone in front of Mokuba.
"Fine" He escorted me back to the car.
"Well, where to sir?"
"The directions I gave you, follow them." Yep, he is fired
I checked over my things one more time as we traveled to the Pound. Laptop.........check. Cellphone........Check. Briefcase, check. What was in the briefcase? Who knows, it just looks cool. Dueling deck....with me at all times. Soap...check. Its not like I'm going to be using his bath products. It seemed like everything was in order.
I stared out the window as we left the forest and entered back into the city. I always did want to go to camp as a kid, hell, I would ahve liked to go to school as a kid! Damn Gozaburo took everything from me. My innocence and joy. I will protect Mokuba's though. He can live for both of us.
"Driver, are you sure we are heading in the right direction?"
"Yes sir Mr. Kaiba"
The houses and building steadily got worse. I kind of felt sorry for the Mutt. He is a mediocre duelist and he does show a great deal of courage. I didn't expect him to be living in these kinds of conditions. We pulled up to an apartment building.
"We're here Mr. Kaiba."
"Very good, now take off for a month, I won't be needing you."
"Thank you Mr. Kaiba, but can I ask why you are staying here?"
"No, you can't ask and instead of taking off for a month, why don't you just take the rest of your life off? Your fired."
I walked away from the shocked driver, my trench coat swishing behind be dramatically. Gods I love my trenchcoat. I walked up to the apartment and went inside. Leaky pipes, stained and broken floorboards. I never thought I would ever be in a dump like this.
"Room 217....here we are." I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Its me Mutt, open up"
"Grrrrrr......" The brief sounds of a door unlicking and I was standing face to face with the runner up of duelist kingdom.
"Um...come on in, make your self at home."
"I intend to" I stepped past him and looked around. Suprisingly, things were very neat and organized.
"Mutt, I didn't know you could be so clean"
"Grrr.....let me show you you're room." He lead me down the hall and opened a door. I'm guessing this was Jou's room. It was a messy room that looked like it had tried to be cleaned. Guess he wanted to impress me. Then, a thought hit me.
"Um, where will you sleep then?"
"Oh, I will stay in my sister's room. She has a bunk bed in there!"
I raised an eyebrow, "You have a sister?"
"Yea, and if you try anything with her, I'll rip you apart!
"Hehe, I'd like to see that."
"Why you-"
"Onichan, who is this?"
Jou and I whirled around. Standing in the doorway was a girl with redish- brown hair that went past her waist. Her eyes were a brilliant chocolate color and she wore a confused look. If I had time for girls, she would have certainly impressed me.
"Oh, hey sis, this is Kaiba, he will stay with us for a while."
"Kaiba, as in Seto Kaiba?"
"Yes"
"It's an honor to meet you Seto, Onichan has told me about you of course"
"I'm flattered, but call me Kaiba."
"Onichan, why is Se- I mean Kaiba here?"
"He is gonna stay with us for a little, its for a school project."
"Oh ok. I hope you will have a good time with us Seto"
"I told you, its Kaiba." She was beginning to annoy me. No one calls me Seto. Seto died a long time ago.
"I'm sorry, but it seems so rude to call anyone by their last name. Please let me call you Seto? I feel more comfortable with that."
"........Fine"
"Hey sis.....I think your gettin a bit too friendly with Kaiba there."
"I think we should leave Seto and give him some time to unpack."
The two siblings walked out the room. I really didn't have much with me. My mind was just on that girl. Convieniently Jou forgot to mention her name to me. I don't think I have ever thought about anyone like that before. But I had no time for emotions such as love. Love is overrated.
The apartment was small, but it didn't bother me. I may live big, but I have no objections to a normal life. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, I have my own room and I get to be with an angel.....stop thinking like that! Voices drifted through the door.
"....seems nice Onichan"
"Well, you don't know him yet, I want you to be careful around him, I wouldn't put it past him to kill us or something"
"That is so rude! He has been very polite since entering and you should respect him!"
"But sis-"
"He is a billionaire and he shows no complains living in a place like this! I'm sure Seto is a lot nicer than you make him out to be........also a lot cuter......"
"What was that last part?"
"Nothing!"
Heh, so I'm a nice cute person to her. Not many people associate Seto Kaiba with nice. I wonder why she was so innocent. I placed my Laptop on his desk and put some trenchcoats in his closet. I walked back out after that.
"Hey Mutt"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Whatever.....where are your parents?"
The girl spoke up again. "They live together at my old house. Onichan and I take care of ourselves while they work out their relationship."
"Listen Kaiba, I'm gonna go to Yugi's place right now, you need anything before I leave?"
"Just go" He said bye to his sister and left. Now I was alone with that girl. That brown haired girl. The only girl to ever capture my attention.
"So......"
"Yes?" I guess she was kind of shy. Nothing wrong with that.
"How are you?"
How casual. "Good"
"Um......Onichan told me you have a brother, where is he?"
"Mokuba is away at summer camp."
"Well, I guess me and Onichan will keep you company while he is gone!" ^_^
Wow, she is one happy person.

Shizuka's P.O.V.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He's just standing there. I don't think he is very interested in me. Not very talkative either.
"I never did catch your name, what is it?"
"Me? Oh I'm Shizuka!"
"I see" Is he this cold towards everyone? I really don't like his attitude, but he is cute......Stop! He keeps making fun of Onichan, and you're going to fall for him after all Jou has done for me? Seto began walking away.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm thirsty, I'm getting a glass of water. Anything wrong with that?" He glared at me with those eyes. Blue and emotionless. It sent a shiver up my spine.
"Oh no! The kitchen is to the left, help yourself!" I began following him
"Why are you following me?"
"Well, someone has to cook dinner, and Onichan's food isn't great...." He gave me a smile, but not one of amusement, but one that was as bad as his glare. He seemed entertained by the fact I had just insulted Onichan. I let it go.
"Ok, what are we going to eat?"
"Um.....how is spaghetti?"
"That's fine, but I prefer to cook my own meals" Wasn't this guy supposed to be super rich? I'm suprised he doesn't hire someone to do the cooking for him.
"Its really no problem, I can cook."
"No, I will"
"How about we take turns?"
"Fine, as long as I go tonight" Gods he is so stubborn!
"Ok then, thanks for cooking" I began walking away to my room. Whenever I felt emotion, in this case frustration, I would draw. I could always draw, even when my eye-sight was bad. Drawing doesn't take good eyesight, it takes soul.
"Wait, why don't you join me in the kitchen." I stopped beathing. Did he just ask me to join him?
"Ok!" My voice squeaked as I spoke. Way to fall for him Shizuka.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seto's P.O.V.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did I just ask her to join me? I don't need help or anything. We walked into the kitchen silently. I guess I would call it awkward if I were actually interested in her.
"Ok, the pots are here and the pasta is here....." She pointed to various things.
"Alright"
"Here is the po-whoops!" She dropped it, clumsy girl. She bent down to pick it up. My eyes wandered to certain parts of her body....Stop it! The hell is wrong with you?! The color began to rise in my face.
"Here you go Seto" I took the pot but didn't face her. No one would ever see Seto Kaiba embarrased about anything.
I began cooking. This is one of the easier dishes to cook, so I was done in no time at all. The girl just watched me. I wonder why she stared at me so much? Did I have something in between my teeth?
"I'm done, where are the plates?" The Girl's eyes were out of focus, staring at me. Apparently the sound of my voice broke her out of her trance.
"Right here" She took some out and walked to give them to me.
"Wait, watch out!" Too late. She slipped on a puddle of water that I spilled making spaghetti. She slid along the floor trying to keep her balance and she probably would have, if I wasn't standing in her path....
"AAAHHHH!!!!" She screamed as she flew into me. I lost my balance and we fell to the floor in a heap.
"Uh......" She was on top of me. Our faces were inches apart. Her eyes stared into mine. She closed them and brought her lips closer to mine. What the hell was she doing? Oh gods!
She quickly got off me.
"I have to go," and with that, she walked out of the apartment, slamming the door behind her.
My fingers went and brushed my lips. Did what just happened really happen?
