I know I posted a new chapter last night, but I just HAD to write another one.


Chapter 11: Sakura's Baby-sitting Service

The next day, as she did her schoolwork and laughed with her friends, Sakura felt she was carrying a special little secret inside her. She had never felt this way before, and she was pretty sure she knew what it was. Love.

After school, Hoshi helped her post flyers to all the Message Boards around the school. They were for her new baby-sitting service. Sakura had always loved kids, and she missed not being able to spend time with people younger than her.

She finished posting up the flyer and stepped back to admire it. She didn't know if anyone would care, but there had to be older brothers and sisters in this school. She turned around and found herself face to face with Kaiba. Sakura glared at him.

"What's that you're posting?" he asked cruelly, nodding to the flyer.

Sakura took a spare flyer from the stack she was holding and handed it to Seto. He took it and quickly read through it.

"Sakura's Baby-sitting service." he read aloud. "Can't you come up with a better name than that?" he asked coldly.

Sakura picked up her bag off the ground and turned back to Kaiba. "What would I know?" she asked. "I'm just a stupid drunk person remember?" And without another word, she walked past Kaiba without a glance.

Shaking his head, he crumbled up the paper and stuffed it in his pocket.

When Seto got home, he was greeted by his little brother Mokuba.

"Hello big brother!" he said running up to Kaiba.

"Hello Mokuba," responded Seto, sitting down at his desk. "Richard told me you flooded the kitchens again," he said, referring to the butler. "Now, thanks to your mindless pranks, not a single person in the staff wants to look after you while I'm at that Duel Monsters meeting tomorrow."

Mokuba shrugged and sat in the chair in front of the desk. "Now, maybe you can get me a real baby-sitter."

"No," said Kaiba at once. He stood up and the flyer from earlier fell out of his pocket. He bent down to pick it up and threw it in the trash can. He walked from the room and came back moments later with a latte in his hand, only to find Mokuba on the sofa behind his desk with the flyer.

"Mokuba!" he said. "What are you doing with that?"

"What were you doing with it?" Mokuba asked, not looking up from the paper. "Can she baby-sit me?"

Seto sighed and sat down on his office chair. "Do I have a choice? Almost everyone I find suitable doesn't want to because of all your mindless pranks." He pressed a button on his phone and started dialing Sakura's number.

Sakura was sitting on her bed, reading a book on Dueling Strategies, when the phone beside her bed rang. Putting her book down, she picked up the phone. "Hello, you've reached Sakura Mitamaru."

"Mitamaru, this is Kaiba." she heard him say.

Sakura sighed. "Do you want to hang up or should I?" she asked. She heard stifled laughter in the background.

Kaiba shot a dirty look at Mokuba, who stopped laughing. Turning back to the phone he continued. "I called to let you know I want you to baby-sit my younger brother tomorrow."

Sakura switched the phone to her other ear. "Sure," she said picking up a magazine and flipping through it until she came to a personality quiz. She took a pen and started to bubble in answers. "I charge 10 yen, per kid, per hour."

Kaiba was taken aback that she had said yes. "You mean you're actually willing to do it?" he asked suspiciously.

Sakura scoffed. "Like I'm gonna leave a kid without a baby-sitter."

"Okay," said Kaiba slowly, regaining his composure. "From 6:00 to 9:00 tomorrow night. You know where my mansion is don't you?"

Sakura rolled her eyes. "It's the largest house on Kaonè Street and on the front Gates, there's this huge K.C on it."

"How does she know that?" said a voice in the background. Kaiba shot Mokuba another look.

"Kaonè Street it the richest street in town, and everything you own has the letter's K and C on it." said Sakura. "It's all a matter of narrowing down possibilities."

"Then I'll see you here at 6:00 tomorrow." Kaiba said promptly.

"All right then. I'll talk to you later." She hung up.

Mokuba laughed. "She seems fond of you Seto," he said sarcastically. He knew his brother didn't have the best reputation with being nice to people.

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Why did I have to stoop so low?" he mumbled to himself.

Mokuba got up and headed for the door. Passing Seto, he said, "Because you have no other choice." He left the room laughing.

Seto rolled his eyes again and pulled out his laptop. Hopefully, the president of games in Japan would cancel the meeting before Sakura had to step one foot in his house.


Yay! Another chapter! In case you guys didn't catch on, the voice in the background was Mokuba.
