Warnings: Swearing, OOC-ness, strange pairing, possible M/M sex in the future!

Disclaimer: There is a big ol' list of folks who own and operate the Yu-Gi- Oh franchise, and my stupid little name is not on that list. Plain and simple, although it still sucks.

A/N: I think I gush WAY too much in my thank-yous and shout-outs, but that's because I really admire you guys so… so I'll keep things brief! Many, many thanks go out to each and every person who took a moment of their valuable time to read my cra…fanfics! I am eternally grateful to you all. I'm kind of short on time, but I wanted to personally name everyone who has encouraged me. I hope you know who you are, and if not, I will make it known more so in the future. Now, this is another sequel to my "Baby Brother" fanfic, and this time, it's from Mokuba's POV. Sorry about the meager length, but I have been quite busy lately, and I will make every effort to update as often as I can. Again, all comments, positive and negative are welcome, I am open to anything. As a reminder, in this fic, Mokuba is eighteen years old, has a crush on Jounouchi (please, don't squick…I'll be nice to the boys!) and is now best friends with Shizuka, Jounouchi's sister, who he used to date. As a warning, there will be Mokuba/ Jounouchi in the future, so be aware. Love to all, and please enjoy!





"Come on and hurry up, we don't have all day!"

"I'm coming, Mokuba, I'm coming! Just give me one more minute, I can't find my belt!"

Oh geez…I turn away from the stairs in annoyance and stalk back to the living room to pace around some more. If she's looking for something, it's going to be a long-assed "minute". For as long as I've known Shizuka, I could never understand her concept of time. Whenever she says "Give me a minute," that actually translates to: " I will take as long as I damn well please, so sit tight and shut the hell up!" For the past 45 minutes, I've been waiting for her to get dressed, and in all that time before and after my arrival, she couldn't possibly put an outfit together? Women, I tell ya…

The reason why I'm even at Shizuka's at the first place is because I agreed to drive her over to some book signing across town. Her mom needed the car for a weekend getaway with her new "friend"- some guy she met at a party. Shizuka isn't too happy about this "friend", because she is very close to her mother, and as far as she's concerned, no guy is ever going to be worthy of dating her mom. But I've met him, and I think he's pretty cool. He's your average guy, good-natured and a little quieter than most. There's just something about him that rings familiar, like I know someone that acts like him…Oh well, I'm not stressing over it, just as long as he treats Shizuka's mother like a queen, I'm happy. After all, she's always treated me like I'm her own son, so I understand how Shizuka feels, I'm protective of her as well. I hope she's happy with that guy.

For like the hundredth time, I look at my watch again. Damn,since when did "one more minute" mean ten? I swear, I'm gonna get one of those kiddie kindergarten clocks with the big-assed hands, and show Shizuka how to differentiate between a minute and a whole fricking hour…I'm going nuts here, I've got plans too, and pacing around in here all day just isn't in my agenda! Okay, I'm going to try this one more time. I head for the stairs again, shoving both of my fists in my pockets in frustration. If she doesn't come down when I call her this time, I'm going up there and carrying her back to my car, booty-butt naked or dressed!! Whoa, wait a minute, if she's naked, why the hell would I even want to go anywhere?! It HAS been a while since our last little freak session…and I am a red- blooded, horny adult…I shake my head free of the gutter thoughts, and prepare myself to scream to Shizuka at the top of my lungs.

Before I even hold my breath, she appears at the top of the stairs. Yeow, she looks good…She's got on this long black dress that splits nearly up to her hips on both sides, and a blessedly low-plunging neckline that drops all the way down to her rounded goodies! She's also sporting a pair of kick-ass, dominatrix-looking boots that accentuate her long, pretty legs. Her ruddy-brown hair is tied back into a simple braid, but she still looks hot! Even though she also looks about ready to beat someone's ass…

I shake my head again, vigorously this time, to get every one of my obscenely graphic ideas out of my one-track mind. Damn, I'm getting as bad as Seto's horny ass, I think there's a strand of over-fuck in our DNA sequence…Don't get me wrong, Shizuka's my best friend, and I've got mad respect for her, but I still consider her sexy as hell! But why does she look so agitated?

"Hey, Peanut (my nickname for her…long story!), why the fighting stance? Did you find the belt?" I speak cautiously, because a pissed-off Shizuka is not a fun deal.

She glares at me like I just asked her her shoe size. "No, I didn't find it, and I couldn't find my book either! So not only am I going to be late for the signing, but I don't even have anything to be signed!" She stomps down the steps, those boots making every step reverberate under her angry pressure. She stops before me, clear eyes smouldering.

I bite back a lewd comment that had something to do with her breasts being a fun alternative to a book being signed. After all, markers show better on skin than on paper… I grin, and pull her into a hug instead. "Oh, come on, Peanut, it can't be all that bad. I'll get you a new book, think of it as a gift from me. That would make it more significant, eh? Besides, you're too cute to be angry!"

I feel her body relax against me, her head resting against my chest with a sigh. "Huh, since you put it that way…I guess I'll take you up on that, you're right, it's no big deal. Just promise me one more thing."

I rub her back and tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Sure, anything, what?"

"Don't call me by that stupid, stupid nickname again!"

I chuckle a little, and ruffle the top of her hair in affection. "Oh come on, you know you think I'm cute when I call you by your pet name! You wouldn't be all over me now if that wasn't true!"

Shizuka pulls away from me with a smile and a light punch on my shoulder. "Yeah, whatever, still arrogant as always! Come on let's go, I want to get there on time, and…" She turns her lips up in a secretive, 'I know something you don't know I know' grin. "I think that you have special plans for yourself today…"

I give her the Kaiba's eyebrow (A/N: I know, major copyright infringement…I couldn't help it, I'm such a big Rock fan!). "And what do you mean by that?"

She's already dragging me out of the door in an attempt to avoid answering me. "Forget it, let's go!"

It only takes about twenty minutes to get to the bookstore. It's already packed, people are lined up outside the door. I turn to Shizuka and ask, " What's up with the crowd? There's no book in the world that's so damn good to make anyone want to stand around with a gaggle of geeks just for two seconds worth of an autograph!"

Shizuka glares at me for a second, then sighs in irritation. "Of course, you wouldn't get it, you're a man! Gin Koto is currently the most well- respected authority on women's empowerment, and her latest book 'Men are Mutts: How to Doggy-Style in Reverse' is the hot topic of any modern woman's dialogue! Shoot, it took me years to tame you, and still could use some tips on how to keep you in line!"

"Ha! Tame ME? Well…okay, maybe you have a way of getting to me, but that's only because you're the only woman I know that could ever match me wit for wit! Not like these other chicks… ugh, most of them look like they need their faces signed, Jigglypuff-style, with heavy, indelible ink! Yeesh…give me a minute, I'll take of some things for you."

I get out of the car, and shoulder my way through the primarily female group, giving a few of them the infamous Mokuba –perfect smile just to watch them swoon. Come on, you may think I'm arrogant, but tell me that you don't get pumped up every time people gape at your impossibly good looks! Yeah, uh-huh, I thought so…

I make my way in the bookstore, and catch the store manager, who was a good friend of mine. After a few words, and a fistful of dollars, I make the arrangements necessary to get Shizuka an exclusive personal meeting with the author. Hey, don't mind if I do use the many perks of being the brother of one of the world's top multibillionaires! Besides, Shizuka's day started off kind of cruddy, and I wanted to make it up to her, I hate to see anyone unhappy.

I head back for the car, let my favorite girl out, and tell her that the manger would personally take care of her and whatever she needed. I take her back into the place, and the manager leads her to a comfortable, plush breakroom, to wait in until it is time for her to see the author in private. She grabs me in a chokehold hug, and whispers something sweet in my ear , along with something else that makes my eyes widen significantly. I blush madly and tell her that I'll hold her to that, and to call me when she was ready to leave. As I said before, I've had certain… plans to see someone very important. I think she caught on to something I wasn't telling her, because she kept beaming at me cheesily, even when I turned to go. I'm starting to suspect she knows, but I still want to wait before telling her my plans, because I'm not sure if that "someone important" would be game for what I need to confess, what I've been denying myself for so long…

I leave the bookstore and head back to my car, ignoring the infatuated stares now, because my mind is focused on setting this plan in action. Come to think of it, maybe I shouldn't do this, it does seem kind of corny in retrospect… I quickly dismiss the thought, and mentally embolden myself as I start my car. I quickly look at myself in the mirror, and encourage myself with a confident smile. I am a Kaiba, and whatever a Kaiba wants, a Kaiba will get. Yes, without a doubt, Jounouchi will finally know how I feel… and I will show him just how seriously I take those feelings. I WILL make him happy. I pull off and speed away, anxious to start phase one of my plans…



Short and uh…awkward, yes, but most definitely to be continued! I just wanted to get a start on this fic before I lost my resolve…Chapter 2 up soon!
