Zelia Theb: Well here's another update! No more Otogi yet but he'll be coming back soon!

SetoKaibaWheeler: Is that comment because it's good or because I had the audacity to kill Kaiba? Anyways, here's an update!

Kurama's Oni: Thanks! Finally we get lots of Mokie

Sorry it's taking so long to update. School and work have me swamped!

"Mokuba!" Jonouchi knocked on the bedroom door as he heard crying from inside. "Mokuba, listen, I'm sorry!"

"Go away!" Mokuba yelled from inside.

"Please Mokuba, just give me a chance."

"No!" The little boy yelled from inside.

Jonouchi sighed, it was almost as bad as when he showed up late to the hospital for Shizuka's operation. She refused to even let anyone in the room. "Listen Mokuba, I'm sorry! I know I messed up. I always mess up. Just give me a chance, Mokie."

The door cracked open and Mokuba peered through the crack. "You promised Seto."

"I know Mokie, it was a mistake. Can I come in?"

Mokuba nodded his head and let Jonouchi come in. Jonouchi took a seat on the small bunk bed as Mokuba seated himself on the ground.

"Seto-"

Jonouchi stopped him and leaned forward, planting his lips on top of Mokuba's head. "Mokuba, I never want to lose you."

"Seto?"

Jonouchi stood up and crossed over to the window, staring at the stars. "Mokuba, it's about time I told you the truth. You're a big boy, you can take it."

Mokuba blinked a few times as he listened.

"I'm not Seto Kaiba."

"What?" Jonouchi felt Mokuba staring at his back.

"Seto is dead, I'm Jonouchi."

"You're a liar!" Mokuba yelled and tried to hit Jonouchi but the man grabbed the kid's arm.

"Why would I lie?" Jonouchi said, his face calm and emotionless.

"I don't know." Mokuba sat on the ground.

"Mokuba, I had to do this. That huge meeting is in a week." Jonouchi sighed as he stood there, leaning heavily on his arms. "I should have told you what I was doing from the beginning but I think I may be in trouble now."

Mokuba blinked his eyes. "You never talk about your work with me, Seto."

Jonouchi turned around towards him. "Are you that thick!? I told you I'm not Seto Kaiba!"

Mokuba ducked and scooted back away from Jonouchi. "Fine," Mokuba said as he crossed his arms. He didn't really want to hear about how Jonouchi screwed up things, if it was really Jonouchi.

"I know you probably don't want to hear this but you've got to Mokuba."

"Have to," Mokuba corrected his speech.

"Shut up," Jonouchi scowled at him. "Listen, no one but Noa knew for the past several days. He only knew 'cause he was helpin' me. Even Yugi only found out earlier today. Otogi knows too and well," Jonouchi halted for a second.

"He hates your guts?" Mokuba supplied.

"Exactly!"

"He's jealous. He's always hated Seto. Threatened him before because he wanted Jou, I mean you."

"Wonderful," Jonouchi muttered in sarcasm as he rolled his eyes. "Well now the moron knows. I've got this meeting in a few days, school in a few weeks, and a blasted tournament in a few months."

Mokuba fell over laughing. Even though he looked like Seto, Jonouchi didn't forget who he was that easily.

"So," Jonouchi drawled. "Are you still mad at me?"

Mokuba frowned as he sat up. "Yes."

"You little jerk," Jonouchi shook his head. "Get to bed, I need sleep too."

"I'll go to bed but you can't sleep."

Jonouchi scowled at the kid. "Fine, I'll go do my work." Jonouchi groaned as he stretched. "Stupid paperwork. How do they expect me to run a business like this? First thing tomorrow I'm hiring some one to do all my work. And I'm firing the rest," Jonouchi mumbled.

"You can't!" Mokuba yelled back from under his covers.

"Shut up!" Jonouchi flipped off the light switch as he opened the door to leave.

"Night Jou, I love you!" Mokuba yelled.

"Good night Mokuba," he left and shut the door behind him.

"Jou!" Jonouchi stopped just as he shut the door. It was Mokuba calling him. He went back in.

"What is it Mokuba?"

"I'm thirsty, can you get me some water?"

"No, get it yourself!" Jonouchi scowled at the kid as he turned around to leave again.

"Man," Mokuba muttered. "That always works with Seto."

'Does Mokuba realize what he does to me?' Jonouchi shook his head as he tried to get back to his work but his mind kept on slipping away to the younger Kaiba. He finally busied himself with the schedule Noa had given him for the big meeting. Yet, he couldn't keep his mind focused.

Jonouchi sighed, giving up on keeping his mind straight and picked up the phone. Yugi picked up on the third ring, his voice sounding exhausted.

"Hello?"

"Hey Yugi," Jonouchi leaned back into the chair and propped his feet on top of the desk. "Did I wake you?"

"No," Yugi said a bit breathlessly. Jonouchi heard a deeper voice in the background.

"Who are you talking to at this Ra forbidden hour?"

"I'm talking to Jou."

"Jou? So is he calling as our Jou, or as Kaiba?"

"I don't know!" Yugi's voice returned next to the phone. "Yami's just being a grump. So is this a business or personal call? And Yami has a good point. What are you doing up? You can't possibly be getting ready for work!"

"No Yugi, I'm just doing some paperwork."

"Oh," there was a brief pause. "I didn't keep you from doing your work, did I?"

"Oh no," Jonouchi quickly lied. 'No more than everyone else,' he added silently. Jonouchi sighed as he dropped his feet and supported the phone on his shoulder. He quickly brought up a file on his computer and began typing the letter he had to send out to one of the other businesses he was affiliated with.

"Then why are you typing?"

"I do still have work to do," Jonouchi snorted.

"Then I did keep you from doing it!" Yugi yelled defiantly. His loud voice caused Jonouchi to wince away from the phone. He could hear Yami's grumbles on the other end.

"No," Jonouchi growled. "I usually do it at four thirty in the morning when I have to be at work at seven." He rolled his eyes. "Yugi, I'm so swamped in work that if I do anything it'll keep me from me work. This stupid job."

"Yeah? So why did you do it?"

"Huh?" Jonouchi frowned for a second. "Oh, you mean pretending to be Seto?"

"Yeah, why?" Yugi asked in earnestness.

Jonouchi sighed and swallowed hard. Really, he hadn't thought about why exactly he had done it. Did he really care so much about Kaiba Corp? No, before he had hated it. It had always kept Seto so busy that he had wished it didn't exist. "You know I told you about that meeting?"

"Yeah, its tomorrow, right? But you never cared for the company."

"Well, if I got the power to stop Kaiba Corp from going under I will. It was Seto's dream to open Kaiba Lands around the world for kids to enjoy. Can't do that without the company."

"Sure," Yugi said, not sounding too convinced by that answer. "Why are you making a house call at this time? Is something bothering you?"

"What do you do when some one is obsessed with you and living under the same roof?"

"You mean Mokuba?" It wasn't Yugi anymore, which meant Yami had stolen the phone.

"Yo Yami," Jonouchi grinned and heard Yugi in the background.

"Yami! Yami! Give me back the phone! Yami!"

"Yes, I am speaking of Mokuba." Jonouchi frowned. 'How did Yami know about Mokuba?'

"Jou, Mokuba has been after you since before you started dating Kaiba. It was just so obvious." Jonouchi gave a start and felt his stomach twist at the name of his dead boyfriend.

"Yami!" Yugi yelled. "You know you shouldn't mention him!"

"Why not? He should be able to deal with it. After all everyone's calling him Kaiba!"

Jonouchi swallowed and went back to work on his letter. He did his best to ignore Yami. They could never imagine what he was going through. He finished it and went

to the next thing.

"What did you really want to talk about?" It was Yugi this time.

"Nothing," Jonouchi answered quickly. Clickity-Clickity-click.

"Okay, I'm going to go to bed and leave you to your work."

"Fine," Jonouchi hung up the phone and turned his eyes towards the screen. There was a sound from the other side of the room and Jonouchi looked up.

"Who were you talking to?" Mokuba's steely eyes seemed to stare though his soul as he stood there on the other side of the room.

"Yugi," Jonouchi turned his eyes back towards the computer. "Shouldn't you be in bed, Mokuba?"

Mokuba crossed over towards the desk. "You can't function like this Jou. You need sleep."

Jonouchi didn't even look up. "Go to bed, now." He commanded the boy.

"You need sleep," Mokuba's eyes hadn't wavered from him.

"Listen," Jonouchi glowered at him. "I'm an adult, you're not. I need to get this work done so I will. But you need to get to bed, now."

Mokuba watched Jonouchi as he turned back to his computer. "Why are you always talking to Yugi? Can't you trust the rest of us?"

Jonouchi stood up in front of Mokuba. The kid may have finally hit his growth spurt making him come up barely to Jonouchi's chest but at over six feet Jonouchi dwarfed almost everyone. "Give me one reason why I should. Noa thinks I'm an inept idiot and I doubt you could really understand what I'm going through."

Mokuba was staring at the ground. "What about the others?"

"Who am I going to talk to? Obviously Honda would have my head, Bakura is nuts, same thing goes for Malik. Anzu would try to make me feel better and Otogi hates my guts. Yugi isn't even helping much."

"I want the old Jou back!" Mokuba yelled as he stared at Jonouchi.

"Well he's dead," Jonouchi snarled at him. He had no idea why he did what he did next but he did it anyways. He tipped Mokuba's chin up and softly covered his lips with his own. The soft kiss grew hard as Jonouchi's tongue touch Mokuba's lips. It forced its way into Mokuba's mouth, deepening the kiss. They stayed like that, Jonouchi completely dominating until he finally pulled away. "Who I used to be died with your brother."

Mokuba stood there, staring. At first he was disgusted. 'My brother just kissed me.' Then common sense caught up. Sure Jou may look like his brother but he wasn't. Suddenly he wanted more. He wanted more of Katsuya Jonouchi.
