Seto pulled his pillow over his head. He was 5 rooms down from Crystal, but he could hear her like she was in the next room. He flung the covers off himself and put on his robe as he headed to the door. He stepped out of his room just in time to see Kitsune slide into Crystal's. He stood outside his room for a minute and watched Kitsune carry the still crying Crystal downstairs, he followed her down to see what the problem was. He found Crystal in the highchair the family brought over, she was still crying, and Kitsune waiting for the kettle to boil while pulling faces at Crystal.

"Hey Kaiba" She smiled weakly

"Why is she crying?" Seto demanded

Kitsune pulled a bottle from behind her back and showed it Seto "She's hungry"

"Does she have to wail though?"

She looked at Crystal and nodded "Pretty much, yea"

Seto's eyebrow twitched.

"Look, she's a baby she can't talk, crying is the only way she can tell me what she needs"

"Why isn't your mother sorting her out?"

"Maybe because she works long hours for you" She snapped at him

He grunted "Just keep her quite"

The next morning Seto walked into the kitchen to find Ryu and Mokuba playing duel monsters.

"You better be winning Mokuba" Seto grunted

"Um…Where's Kitsune?" Mokuba changed the subject

"In bed probably" He grunted as he made some coffee

"Let's go wake her!" Ryu suggested, jumping out of his seat and darting upstairs. Mokuba followed.

Seto raised a brow and followed the hyper pair. He was actually intrigued to see how Kitsune would act to an early wake up call. He saw them creep into her room and peered in himself. Kitsune slept soundly even though the covers were tossed around the bed.

"Ready?" Ryu whispered

Mokuba nodded.

"1, 2, 3!" They both yelled and leaped onto the bed sending Kitsune flying off of it

"Ah! Ryu!!!" She sat up and rubbed her head

"Run!!" Ryu yelled as Kitsune dived for them

The boys ran straight around Seto but Kitsune knocked into him. They both fell backwards.

"Ow…this isn't my morning…"

"Watch where you're going Koi!"

"Hey, you were the one who was by my door!" Her voice raised "Wait…why were you by my door?"

"I was wondering what Mokuba was doing" He simply said getting to his feet. He turned and eyed Kitsune "You should dress more appropriate for bed"

Kitsune blushed slightly and pulled the shirt down to cover herself "What I wear for bed is non of your business…besides…you shouldn't be looking"

"Humph, whatever"

Later that day Kitsune lazed in the garden with her earphones plugged in. She listened to her music, she often mouthed the words or sometimes sang, other times he just tapped her finger or foot to the beat. Either way she was relaxed, Crystal was asleep and wouldn't wake up till the afternoon, Ryu was with Mokuba and Seto was nowhere in sight. She felt great. She didn't think the day could get any better until somebody stepped into her light. She opened her eyes and found Seto with Crystal in his arms.

"She woke up early from her nap" Kitsune tilted her head to the side

"Just take her from me" Seto snapped

"1 Second" She grinned and pulled out her camera phone, taking a picture of the pair "Aww, so cute"

Seto's eyebrow twitched and dumped Crystal on Kitsune "Here!"

Kitsune picked her sister up and carried her back into the mansion following Seto. She bounced Crystal on her hip, making her giggle. Seto looked over his shoulder at them, watching Kitsune smile, but wait, was that sadness he saw in her eyes. He stopped.

"What is it?" Kitsune stopped behind him

He turned to her and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him and looked deep into her eyes. "What are you hiding?"

"Hiding? Nothing"

"Don't lie to me" He spat

"Even if I was hiding something, I wouldn't tell you" She hissed at him

He smirked and let go of her chin "Brave girl"

"What does that mean?"

"Standing up to me like that, I could chuck you and your family out"

Kitsune stayed silent.

"Thought that would be your reaction" Seto said smugly

"Look, I step out of line, you chuck me out"

"Go then, now"

"What?"

"You heard" Seto started off to the stairs "Get your things and go, I'm sick of your attitude"
