Warm rays of the morning sunshine poked through the windows and glass doors (which led to Seto's private patio). In the mass of white sheets and pillows, lay Kaiba, just beginning to stir from his dreams.

"Seto….." a soft voice floated in the early air.

"Hmm?" Seto sleepily opened his eyes and gazed up where the ceiling should have been. Instead, a bright face peered down at him.

"Ki!" The little persocon gleefully cried and flung herself against him in a hug.

"WHA!" He half forgot about his new friend, and was still half asleep.

She pulled away from the embrace, seeing Kaiba's discomfort, then embarrassment when he looked up at her again. She was leaning over him on all fours, like a cat, letting the ribbons on her pajamas fall and twirl gracefully, spilling over the comforters like her hair. Her pjs was the second uncomfortable thing. She wore a small spaghetti strap tank that cut off way up and really small shorts. He almost blushed, almost, but didn't.

"Ki?" She tilted her head as he sat up, she moved back to sit upon the white covers.

"Good morning to you too," he smiled and patted her on the head, causing her to break into the cutest smile. He got up to change in the bathroom and returned to see her still sitting on the bed. "Well, you and I are going to have to go shopping for you. You need more than a couple pairs of clothes."

Dressed in her last outfit, the little persocom ate her breakfast with Seto in the unusually quiet kitchen. The normal setting would be a hyper Mokuba hopping around yelling for random cereals that contained unnatural amounts of sugar. But for now, he remained upstairs, fast asleep. The robot looked down at her clothes, a white peasant's top that rested very low, a short blue jean dress, blue sneakers, and plenty of ribbons. She sat staring at her shoes until Kaiba finally called her to the door.

The driver had a week off, as one of his small summer vacations, so Seto had to figure another way of transportation. He decided to give his motorcycle a try. He wasn't sure how his persocom would react to it, but she seemed fine with it. He slid on a helmet for her and showed her how to get on. She followed his orders exactly, all the while smiling in the yellow orange sunlight. She slid her arms tightly around Seto's waist as he started off to the street, but as they gradually reached downtown, she began to relax.

The two walked all morning, and made great progress on getting the girl a small wardrobe. After tucking the items away in the pockets of the motorcycle, they set off again, this time reaching a book store. Seto smiled and led her inside, pointing out things so she could understand better.

It was only a few minutes before a few familiar faces appeared in the store as well, ones Kaiba didn't find too pleasant. Joey laughed alongside Yugi as they walked through the front doors.

"Oh great, it's the mutt." Seto looked down and saw the confused look on her face from the word 'mutt'. "Mutt means dog." He looked up from his clarification and noticed the two getting closer and noticing Kaiba's tall figure in front of them.

"Kaiba." Joey spat, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you think I would be doing in a bookstore, mutt?"

2491 walked forwards, looking Joey in the eye with a curious pout. She walked up and leaned her face real close to his and stared at his chocolate eyes carefully. She began to circle around him, watching him. She then stopped, and after a quick glance at Kaiba, pointed at Joey and chirped, "Dog!"

"What! Hey, twerp! Don't call me dog! I am not a dog!" He yelled right in her face, causing fear to rise in her eyes.

She dove behind Kaiba and hid her face in his shirt. Kaiba looked the same as he always did around Joey, frowning and now he was a little mad.

"Leave her alone, mutt. You shouldn't go yelling at everyone, it's rude." He drawled in his usual sarcasm.

"Who's she? Your girlfriend? I didn't even think you had a heart Kaiba, but man am I impressed!" Joey snapped back.

"Guys!" Yugi tried to clear things up, naturally.

"For your information Wheeler, she's not my girlfriend. I'd love to tell you, but you wouldn't understand or be able to sit still long enough." Kaiba retaliated.

Joey got a glance at her ears, and a confused look replaced his angered one. "What is up with her ears?"

"Nothing, those are her ears. Simple as that."

"Who has ears like that? I mean come on!"

"Apparently she does."

Yugi noticed a striking resemblance to his deceased cousin in this girl. She looks like Sam, I wonder who she is…

2491 reached up and touched the smooth dataports she called ears. "Ki?" She looked puzzled at the other two's reactions to them. "Seto?"

The two paused a moment from their quarreling, Joey was quite impressed she had the guts to call him by his first name, he waited for him to yell at her or give her "the glare". But, Kaiba didn't do anything but turn and answer her.

She touched her "ears" again while looking at him this time. It was as if she were silently asking him something. For the first time, she spoke in almost perfect grammar. "Something is…wrong with ears?" She looked up innocently, almost hurt.

"No, nothing is wrong. They are fine." Kaiba tried to reassure her, forgetting about the on looking Yugi and Joey.

She slowly nodded, keeping her hands over hear ears as if she were shielding them from the world. "Go home?"

"Ok, we'll go home, let's buy our books first." He pointed to the small stack they made. Seto hadn't even noticed what books 2491 picked out, they just sat there mixed with his.

"Hey! Since when are you mister nice guy?" Joey questioned. "And what is up with her talking? Doesn't she know how to talk right?"

"Move mutt." Kaiba blandly replied as he held the small stack of books, 2491 held tightly onto his shirt and peered around from behind him. Yugi just stood there, taking it all in, seeing his opinion had no effect here.

"Answer me! What is up with you? You're acting weird!" Joey looked suspiciously at him, still not moving.

Kaiba merely shoved Joey aside as he walked to the registers, leaving a fuming Joey behind. "Oh, I think this calls for a little spying, eh Yugi?"

"Uhh, Joey, are you feeling ok?" Yugi questioned his friend's crazed look as he wrung his hands.

Kaiba helped 2491 slip on her helmet once more, then mounted and sped off for home just around noon, leaving Joey to ponder with Yugi at the bookstore.
