Chapter Title: My Green Eyed Monster

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-Who in the seven hells was this 'Hikari' person?- Kaiba thought miserably, followed by , -What does she have that I don't?- By now, he was officially pissed off. What did she have? Well, she had a much more rounded chest and more than likely nice figure. If that was the case, then he should be the one. He had the looks, according to several fan girls, and the money.

Wait a second!

What if Jou was into girls? What if he was straight? Then Kaiba didn't have a chance against her. However, Jou could swing both ways. There was only one way to tell. It would be to ask Jou's friends; however, it meant admitting that he, Kaiba Seto, was interested in the mutt, which was the last thing he wanted before he discovered if Jou was interested in boys. Kaiba could ask on the behalf of a friend, but Yugi was no idiot and neither was Yami. Stupid former pharaoh or whatever he was.

-------Flashback-------

Kaiba had gone to the game shop to challenge Yami to a duel. However, he found Yugi-tachi studying for an upcoming test instead. He already knew how to solve the math problems since he had a hand in designing the latest dueling station. Nevertheless, Yugi, Honda, and Jou were having trouble with it. Malik seemed to be calm unlike the other three who were stressing out. Anzu seemed to be frustrated trying to teach them. Obviously she wasn't going anywhere with Jou or Honda according to the glares she was sending their way.

"Whadda ya want?" Jou scowled, looking up from what he called notes. His handwriting was hardly legible or at least according to Kaiba. Maybe one of them could understand 'Jou-nese.'

Cold blue eyes settled on the irate blond. "It does not concern you, mutt." It was fun pushing Jou's buttons and seeing him literally explode.

"Why I ought ta…!" Jou seethed, preparing to give Kaiba one knuckle sandwich. Having to defend himself at an early age gave the blond an advantage when dealing with the average student. Unfortunately, Kaiba was not average.

Honda was furious. No one talked about his best friend like that and got away with it. His fists were clenched and his body was tensed as if he getting ready to attack the taller brunette. True, he may not stand a chance against Kaiba, but he had Jou to back him up.

"Jou calm down," Malik spoke softly, despite having created a dark side that nearly took over the world. He carefully placed his notes down and attempted to calm the other blond while Anzu and Yugi worked on Honda. "He's trying to get a reaction out of you."

"Try?" Kaiba scoffed while crossing his arms over his chest. A duel disk was on his left arm, indicating what his purpose was. "Please," he drawled in a mocking tone. "What makes you think I have to try? It doesn't take much to get a third rate duelist like him riled up."

This caused Jou to lunge at the taller brunette; however he was restrained by a certain Egyptian. "Ya need ta keep ya mouth shut, ya bastard! One of deese dayz, someone ain't gonna like ya, and ya can't hide behind dat money a yours."

"You said it," Honda heartily agreed with Jou. One of those days, Kaiba was going to meet someone that wasn't impressed with his wealth or status. Then he was going to get what was coming to him. After all, 'What goes around comes around.'

"Kaiba, why are you here?" Yugi inquired with an authoritative voice. After all, this was his home. Well, it was attached to his home. More to the point, Yugi was becoming angry, and when he became angry, someone was going to end up in pain. Actually, Yugi wasn't the one causing the pain. It was his other half.

"I came to duel Yami or whatever he calls himself," Kaiba informed them as if they were little children. He raised his arm to show the dueling disk he possessed, figuring they were either idiots or blind as not to see it. "Where is he? I don't have all day."

"He's keeping my other half out of trouble," Malik replied for Yugi. No one knew how the psychotic spirit came back, but at least he was not after the power of the pharaoh. No, he was bent on tormenting the pharaoh as much as possible. Besides, it wasn't going to earn him a one way trip to the shadow realm and he found it to be rather fun.

"We're trying to study here so why don't you leave?" Honda suggested, glaring at the taller brunette. His best friend was already a nervous wreck with the test. He didn't need to add the billionaire to that list.

Kaiba just ignored Honda in favor of locating Yami. "Call him. I know you have some sort of connection or whatever you call it." He knew wherever Yugi was; the dark spirit was bound to be nearby. Since Malik said he was watching over Marik, then the two of them must have separated from their hosts' bodies.

"No," Yugi refused. He wasn't going to call his darker half just to duel Kaiba if he was only going to insult Jou. With the test fast approaching, he knew Jou was really under pressure. His grades weren't exactly the greatest and he may have to end up repeating that year while his friends moved onto the next grade. "If you want to duel him, then go find him yourself."

"I have better things to do than to go running around looking for him," Kaiba snorted as if it was the obvious answer that everyone in the world should know. It should be the other way around. They should be running around for him.

"We have better things to do as well," Malik replied an annoyance. He was sorely tempted to let Jou go or let his dark half play with Kaiba. Either way, it wasn't going to be pretty, especially since one was more than pissed off and the other one was officially insane.

"Ya got dat right," Jou completely agreed with the Egyptian. He wanted nothing more than to pound Kaiba right into the ground. Ew! Not that kind of pound. The blond wanted Kaiba to pay for all those insults.

"Does the pup need to hide behind his friends?" Kaiba sneered coldly at the irate blond. He never needed anyone to fight his battles for him. Well, there were a few times, but he wasn't going to admit it, since it had been Yugi or Yami who rescued him and his brother a few times.

Both blonds were about to speak when another voice interrupted. "Quit annoying my hikari. That's my job." The Egyptian groaned loudly when he heard the voice. It was his annoying darker half, followed by an equally annoyed Yami.

Cold blue eyes focused on the smaller of the two newcomers. "I challenge you to a duel," Kaiba announced, holding up his duel disk. His deck was already inserted into the holder.

Yami scowled, his anger increasing at a rapid rate. "No and I suggest you leave before I make you leave the hard way. I will not tolerate you upsetting my hikari."

"Can I send him to the Shadow Realm?" Marik inquired, hopping up and down like an idiot. One would wonder if he was sane in the first place or the reason why he was not in one of those happy places with the nice men in white uniforms.

"Please," came from Jou, Honda, and Malik.

Kaiba scowled. He certainly did not want to visit that place again. Plus, he knew these two would not hesitate to send him there should either Yugi or Malik ask. "Fine." More to the point, he had a company to run and a little brother to look after. It was going to be hard if he didn't possess his soul. Not very good, indeed.

With that, the brunette turned and exited the game shop.

-------End Flashback-------

"Seto," Mokuba called to his big brother, waving a hand in front of his face. The elder had been in deep thought ever since they left the library. In fact, he was worried. His big brother never acted like this unless either Mokuba or his company was in danger. "Are you there?"

"What do you want?" Kaiba snapped before realizing it was only his little brother. His expression became a little softer as he repeated the question. There was only one person who was allowed to see past his icy barrier and that was the only one whom he actually cared about.

"We're home," the younger brother announced. The servant had already gathered his books and brought them to his room. Biting his lip, he wondered whether or not to tell his big brother they had been home for about fifteen minutes. Then again, his big brother didn't have to know everything.

"I have some important business to take care of," Kaiba said, reflecting on his observations. Malik did seem awfully close to Jou and defensive. What if he was the one? For starters, he had better get all his facts straight. After all, Kaiba was neither an idiot nor a fool. That was the pup's job. Well, maybe that pointy haired friend could be considered one as well.

Mokuba nodded his head, but he mentally sighed. Originally, he planned for his big brother to take the night off. In that case, it would have to wait until another night. He started formulating plans to deal with his brother. If it was important to his brother, then it must be worth his effort. Whenever his brother had important business, it meant to leave him alone unless something urgent came up. He recalled the time someone had injured him in order to get back at Kaiba. His big brother was in a meeting at the time with important clients. Without any hesitations or regrets, Kaiba cancelled the meeting just so he could be there for Mokuba.

Important business? Yeah right. Straightening his trench coat, he slid out of his limo. He ignored his servants as usual unless he needed them to perform some task for him. Behind him, he heard his brother informing their staff to not bother him unless it was urgent and important. Everything else could wait for tomorrow or if he was lucky, later that night.

His home office had the basics and a few décor items. Of course, one of them happened to be a large hand painted portrait of a Blue Eyes White Dragon in an attack position. Another one was that of a Red Eyes Black Dragon, but it was definitely smaller and less prominent than the other dragon. On each side of the room, there were displays of awards or antiques, and cases of books that he wasn't ashamed of displaying in front of others. In the middle and towards the back end of the room, an elaborate oak desk sat, devoid of any colorful decorations. It wasn't cluttered with personal paraphernalia. He did however have a few pictures of Mokuba on it, but that was about it.

Kaiba trudged towards his desk as if he were about to deal with an annoying client. He plopped his ass, less than gracefully, into the chair. If this 'Hikari' person wasn't a girl, then it had to be Malik. After all, the Egyptian stood up for Jou that day. There was no doubt… Okay, so he wasn't a hundred percent sure, since he didn't possess enough evidence. It could be Yugi or Ryou for all he knew. Yugi had been friends with Jou much longer than Malik.

His computer sat there, waiting to be booted. Grudgingly, the brunette obliged. There were definite advantages to being a computer expert. First, he could track down all the girls with the name 'Hikari' without having to go through all the paperwork and red tape. Plus, none of the media hounds can trace it back to him. He could imagine the headlines. 'Kaiba Seto has a girlfriend. Who's the lucky gal?' Nope, not going to happen any time.

Being a billionaire, Kaiba had access to the latest technology. His computer was faster and more efficient than the average. Once he was online, he started with Domino High. It was more than likely she went there if Hikari knew Jou well. Typing furiously on the keyboard, Kaiba pulled up the entire list of students in alphabetical order. There were three Hisa, one Hiroko, five Haru, two Hide, one Hisano, and nine Hitomi, but no one was named Hikari.

The others schools within walking distance yielded the same results. No one was named Hikari. Perhaps, she was an online buddy or even a pen pal, but Jou knew her personally. It meant having met her in person. Then it could be a nickname. He was about to give up when he discovered the nearest 'Hikari' was sixty minutes away… by car. There went that idea. If she didn't attend school, then maybe she was home schooled?

"Argh, this is frustrating," Kaiba growled as he ran his hand through his hair. Tomorrow was another day, and he was going to get answers one way or another.
