Ch. 1
Mokuba Kaiba was sitting in his high-backed, leather chair on the 67th floor of the Kaiba Corp. building. He now sat in the long, spacious executive office once occupied by his brother. He was playing with graphics on his computer for a new video game he was designing, when there came a soft knock on his door.
"What?" he said crossly into the intercom on his desk.
"Mr. Kaiba," his secretary answered timidly. "You have a visitor."
"Who is it?"
"A Mr. Mouto. He has an appointment, sir."
"Send them in," Mokuba grunted. The door opened but the CEO did not stand to greet his guests.
Yugi Mouto walked in. He had grown quite a bit though his hair was the same pointy shape. He wore a black, pin-stripped business suit.
He finally gave up the fairy tales, Mokuba thought, noticing the absence of the Millennium Puzzle around his neck.
Behind Yugi, a woman had entered. Her auburn hair rippled around her shoulders, and as she smiled at him, her azure eyes glittered. She wore a black skirt, and a pink shirt. Mokuba thought that her stomach bulged slightly.
Yugi smiled as well. "Hello Mokuba."
Mokuba did not. "Yugi."
"I believe you know my wife, Tea." Mokuba nodded curtly at her. Yugi gently placed his hand on her stomach. "We're expecting." He said. Tea blushed slightly.
"I see," said Mokuba, making an adjustment on his computer screen. "Why are you here, Yugi?"
Yugi's smile faltered. "We thought we'd stop by to see how you were doing." Mokuba noticed a small head peeking out from behind Tea's leg. Yugi held his hand out to her and she hurried from behind Tea's leg into his arms. Mokuba saw a mass of bushy, brown hair as she buried her head in Yugi's shoulder. "This is Cessia," he said, indicating the mass of fluff in his arms.
Mokuba was fighting the powerful urge to make them leave. He hardly needed old connections interfering with his work. He stayed silent hoping they would catch the message.
"Yugi's a lawyer now," Tea said, trying to break the silence.
"Is he now," said Mokuba in a bored way, barely paying attention.
"Down! Down!" said a child's voice. Yugi set Cessia on the ground and Mokuba watched her out of the corner of his eye. She had the Millennium Puzzle around her neck. She began to totter toward a large statue of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the corner of the room.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at it and Mokuba noticed the color. A deep, piercing blue that changed with every thought in her little head. The color, shape, and even a strange wisdom reflected in her clear eyes hit Mokuba very near what was left of his heart. He gasped. In this tiny girl, with dazzling blue eyes, Mokuba saw a reflection of his brother.
The grief of loosing Seto rekindled inside Mokuba, giving way to fury. He rose quickly, a fire burning in his eyes. "Leave."
"Mokuba, wha..." Yugi began. Mokuba cut him short.
"GET OUT! NOW!" Cessia, startled by Mokuba's loud voice, gave a cry and abandoned the statue she was admiring and ran to hide behind her mother. Tea quickly backed out of the room.
Yugi didn't move, but stood looking at Mokuba. "I thought I told you to... "This time it was Mokuba who was interrupted.
"I heard you quite well," Yugi stated. "But don't think we're finished here, because we're far from it, Mr. Kaiba. Good day." Yugi firmly closed the door behind him as he left.
Mokuba returned to his seta shaking with rage. There was another knock at his door. "Mr. Kaiba, your two-o-clock is ready."
"I want all of my appointments cancelled for the remainder of the day."
"But Mr. Kaiba! Duke Devlin is here to discuss..."She stuttered as Mokuba interrupted her.
"If Mr. Devlin wishes to continue to do business with Kaiba Corp. he can reschedule." He yelled.
He heard his secretary apologizing profusely to someone outside. Mokuba knew he was showing bad business, but at the moment, he could have cared less. The last thing he needed was a nervous breakdown. Mokuba quickly packed up his things and left the office, driving home in his limo.
