A/N- Hey minna-san! Welcome to the next installment of ASoUS. As usual, I'd like to thank all my lovely reviewers out there…
PK13: What d'ya mean, your reviewers?!
SD27: …our lovely reviewers then. Happy?
PK13: Hai.
Anywho… remember that SD stands for Samuraiduck27 and PK is PsychoKitty13. Rae is SD's real name and Kat is PK's. (Seeing as only SD and PK call each other SD and PK) I'd like to thank my good buddy Katie (aka Go Drink Pinesol) for beta-reading this as we thought it up and I wrote it down. And the review replies are at the bottom.
PK13: Start the fic already!!!
SD27: I'm getting there!
Oh yeah- the hacking device that SD uses in this chappie I made up entirely. I don't know if something like this exists, or if it's possible- but it's our fanfic, so there. sticks tongue out
PK13: sighs heavily and looks at her watch
SD27: Fine! I'll start! On with the fic!
Disclaimer- Once again- if it's familiar, we don't own it and most likely never will. But we can wish!

Chapter 3- Hacking is a Good Way to Annoy Uptight CEO's
SD and PK were at SD's locker when they heard a group of kids complaining about a sub that they just had.
"Probably just came from Gym…" PK muttered to SD as they group of students passed.
"I'm telling ya- the guy's whacked! He doesn't look old enough to be out of high school, let alone teach." one of the students, a blond boy, complained.
"Seemed to know what he was doing though," one of the girls added, stopping at a locker not too far down, "what with typing furiously on that laptop of his all hour and answering people's questions without looking up!"
"What I wanna know is how he got that trench coat of his to do that flaring out thing as he walked." the other girl added.
SD and PK glanced at each other.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" PK asked.
"High school age, computer whiz and a trench coat with a not-natural flaring effect…" SD replied.
"Seto Kaiba." the two said in unison.
"Geez- all these anime characters keep popping out of nowhere!" PK exclaimed.
"Well, we did wonder what it would be like…" SD said.
"Yeah- but who'd have thought it'd be real?" PK replied.
SD closed her locker and turned to PK.
"And we have computers next!" she said gleefully.
"Oh no…" PK moaned, "You have that look on your face again- what are you planning?"
SD didn't answer as she grinned manically and dragged PK to the computer lab.
The classroom was silent as the two walked in. A stone-faced Seto Kaiba sat at the teacher's desk and looked as though he would rather be anywhere else but there.
SD and PK took their seats just as the bell rung. They sat at the back of the lab- PK three seats down from SD. Seto stood up, walked in front of his desk, and glared at the class in front of him.
"My name is Mr. Kaiba and I'll be substituting for your teacher today." he began, "Your teacher left a note saying that you all should be working on your website projects as they will be due by the end of next class."
A collective groan rang through the room with this statement.
"Shut up and get to work." Seto barked at them before sitting down and typing at his ever-present laptop.
SD, already finished with her project, muted her computer and logged into her AOL account. Normally, the computers did not function with AOL because of the blocks the teacher had put on them, but with PK's help, SD had disabled the blocks and installed AOL into her's, PK's, and a select few students' computers. SD was a whiz at hacking into computers, and PK was quite adept at it as well. A few minutes later, she received an IM from none other than PK.
PsychoKitty13- hey, u there?
Samuraiduck27- (rolls eyes) of course.
PK13- what are you going to do to Kaiba?
SD grinned to herself. She had a plan to drive Seto nuts- she had been looking for someone to pull her little prank on for quite a while now. All she had to do was get close enough to Seto's laptop.
SD27- just u wait… (evil grin) but I need you to do something for me first…
PK groaned inwardly- SD's plans were never usually thought out well. Fun though they were, the one's she had played in the past with her help had usually ended up with something exploding, something set on fire, or a long period of detention. The times they had not gotten caught though…those were the best.
PK13- did u think this one through?
SD27- (hurt) of course! Will u help me?
PK13- (worried) okay…
SD27- alright. Here's the plan…
"Um…Mr. Kaiba?" PK asked innocently.
Seto looked up from his laptop to the two girls in front of his desk. The taller, brunette and hot pink haired one was the one who addressed him.
Her hair…odd…
"Yes, Miss…" he asked icily, unhappy at being interrupted while working.
"I'm Kat- but I liked to be called PK. Uh, me and SD here are finished with our projects. What should we do now?" she replied, motioning to a short, blond and red-streaked haired girl with a smug look on her face.
What is with these kids and their hair colors? Almost as bad as Yugi…
"SD?" he questioned, glaring at the girl and not liking the look on her face because it reminded him of Yami's smirk.
"Name's Rae." she replied.
"Uh…what should we do?" repeated PK.
Seto turned his attention to her, "Do whatever the hell you want- just don't bug me with any more of your ridiculous questions."
"Someone's grumpy today…" SD muttered.
"Excuse me?" he replied, staring angrily at the girl, oblivious to what she had just done to his laptop.
SD raised her eyebrows at him and withdrew her hand from the desk.
"How do you get your coat to do that thing? Y'know- how it flares out behind you all the time." SD countered, changing the subject.
"Back to your seats!" he yelled, getting annoyed at the two girls.
"Baka shojos…" he muttered as they turned to go.
SD spun around.
He doesn't think I know Japanese- I'll show him.
"Ahou." she countered, sticking her tongue out at him in an immature way before PK dragged her away from the surprised and angry substitute.
SD sat in her seat and attached a plug-like device with a red plastic piece to the back of her computer tower. It flashed once, and unbeknownst to Seto, the one identical to it- which she had inserted into a port on the back of his laptop as PK distracted him- flashed also. A small window popped up on SD's screen.
Connect?
SD clicked 'OK' and a little blue loading bar appeared it its place. PK IM-ed SD while she waited.
PsychoKitty13: What'll this do again?
Samuraiduck27: You'll see…
PK13: Where'd you get the thing you put on his laptop?
SD27: I invented it, and it's not a thing- it's a 2 way device that when applied to two computers, will let the computer with the control piece (mine) have access to all open/active files on the computer with the corresponding piece attached. ( Kaiba's )
PK13: …English please?
SD27: The thing lets me hack into Kaiba's laptop and mess with him.
PK13: Oh- why didn't you just say that?
SD27: (sighs)
PK13: Wait a sec… is that legal?
SD27: (sweat drop) …maybe…
PK13: (face fault) you're gonna hack into Seto Kaiba's- Seto Kaiba's- laptop and not expect to get caught?! Hope you like prison- you're gonna get sent there when he gets through with you!
SD27: Oh ye of little faith…
PK13: (confused) nani?
SD27: He's an anime character, PK. No clue how he got here, but I doubt any lawyer would work for a cartoon- no matter how rich. So the worse he could do is send me to the principal's office.
PK13: Ano…SD? Didn't the principal say that one more violation would get you suspended? And I think this would just probably get you expelled.
SD27: Y'know…I forgot about that. Oh well- just better not get caught!
PK13: (holding head in hands) Oh, SD…
SD27: Hey! It's connected! Just sit back and watch!
SD chuckled evilly to herself- earning a creeped out glance from the kid next to her. She closed the IM and everything but the little blue window. SD clicked the 'scan/show' command from the toolbar and after a few seconds, another window popped up- this one showing all of Seto's open and active files, plus what he was currently doing at the moment.
Time for some fun…
SD clicked on the file that Seto was working with- a 27 page report or what-not for KaibaCorp. She clicked on the screen showing the paper gaining more words by the minute. She added her cursor to the page and clicked on the sentence he had just finished. SD slowly deleted all of Seto's typing word by word.
"What the hell?" Seto exclaimed from the front of the room.
SD smirked and stopped. Seto rewrote all that had been erased, but when he finished that sentence, she deleted it all again. More cursing and a few loud bangs on a desk were heard from Seto as she repeated this process again and again. SD laughed to herself, then PK sent her another IM.
PsychoKitty13: What are you doing?!
Samuraiduck27: Deleting his typing, stopping when he gets angry, deleting it again… it's quite entertaining to see him get so frustrated.
PK13: Does he have an AOL account activated?
SD27: Dunno- why?
PK13: Make a new screen name- pretend to be Yami or something and piss him off that way.
SD27: You do know that if he buys it and get pissed enough, he'll go after Yami and beat the crap out of him, right?
PK13: I know…actually I'm counting on it. (evil grin)
(A/N- Sry to all Yami fans, but me and PK really don't like him. He's gonna be bashed a bit in this fic, so just warning you ahead of time.)
SD27: I like the way you think, my friend. (bows down to PK)
PK13: lol. Acting as Joey would work too…
SD27: Yeah- or Pegasus. Oh! Guess what- he does have one activated. Lemme see here…
SD accessed the file that contained Seto's AOL account file and found his screen name; when she did she shook her head.
SD27: Kaiba's too predictable…
PK13: What?
SD27: His screen name- blueeyes01.
PK13: nods head in agreement make 'Yami's' kingofgames.
SD27: K- wait for the fireworks.
PK13: Don't get caught!
SD27: When have I ever?
PK13: (pulls out 10 foot list) Well there was-
samuraiduck27 has logged off
PK leaned forward in her seat and made a face at SD, who only smiled at went to work.
Seto frowned at his laptop- there had to be something wrong with it. It had just started deleting what ever he typed down before stopping and then starting again- as if it was toying with him. It had ceased a few minutes ago, but not before he had slammed his desk in frustration and let out a long string of Japanese profanities- making the class give him strange looks and wary glances.
He sighed and continued working- only to be interrupted by an IM from someone he did not want to talk to then- or ever again for that matter.
Kingofgames: Kaiba.
Seto inwardly groaned. How in the world did that damned spirit get a hold of his screen name?! After all- only one of two people he knew could be 'kingofgames' and Yugi would've at least said ohayo or something- not just a flat out 'Kaiba.'.
Knowing that Yami would probably bug him until he answered- Seto reluctantly replied.
Blueeyes01: What do you want?
Kingofgames: How's the teaching job going?
Seto frowned- how did Yami know Seto was teaching? Heck, he didn't even know himself!
Blueeyes01: How did you know? And how exactly did you get my SN?!
Across the room, SD was panicking. How was she gonna explain the SN? She quickly waved PK over, who sat in the empty chair next to SD and took control of the keyboard.
Kingofgames: I'm teaching too, baka. And as for getting your SN, ano…Joey gave it to me!
Muttering was heard coming from Seto's direction as he replied.
Blueeyes01: And how did the baka inu get it?
Kingofgames: (shrugs)
Blueeyes01: Since when did you know how to use a computer, Pharaoh?
Kingofgames: Yugi taught me how to use one, so I could play games online. I quickly grew tired of them, though.
Blueeyes01: In other words, you got your butt kicked and quit playing.
Kingofgames: …No- the King of Games does not lose!
Blueeyes01: Right…I seem to recall a few times when you did.
Kingofgames: If you are referring to that time at Pegasus' castle at Duelist Kingdom, I assure you- you would have lost had Yugi not regained control and stopped my attack.
SD snickered as PK gave a rather Bakura-ish smirk to the screen and hit the enter key.
Blueeyes01: Are you saying that I won by chance?!
Kingofgames: Hai. If Yugi had let me finish my attack, I would have won and might have likely fallen of the edge of the castle wall. Not like I would have cared… but you are a worthy Duel Monsters opponent. (once in a while)
SD's eyes widened as she watched PK type in that comment and her finger hover over the enter key. She looked to SD for approval for some odd reason before putting it in. SD glanced at Seto- who was glaring lividly at the laptop screen as if it were Yami's head and it would burst into flames if he stared long enough. This one would probably drive him to screaming…
"What are you waiting for? Enter it!" she whispered.
PK nodded and did so- about five seconds later, Seto's angry ranting came from the front of the room.
"God damn you, Pharoah! I could have died! 'Worthy opponent once in a while', my ass! I could beat you any day!" he roared, standing up and shouting at his computer.
Most of the class- that meaning all but PK and SD- were staring at Seto as he went off; the students nearest him scared out of their wits. The two instigators, though, were trying hard and somewhat failing to control their laughter.
Blueeyes01: You will pay dearly for that comment of yours.
SD snatched the keyboard away from PK, thentyped in a reply.
Kingofgames: But Kaiba, it's my destiny to annoy the hell out of you!
PK and SD smiled as they watched Seto's eye twitch and vein pop in his head anime-style as he read it.
Blueeyes01: I don't believe in fate, or in destiny. And I sure as hell don't buy the crap you just wrote!
Kingofgames: Geez, Kaiba- get a sense of humor! Must be going now…nice chatting with you, Kaiba-boy!
Kingofgames has logged out
SD smiled to PK as she closed everything off and took the hacking device off of the back of her computer tower.
"That went rather well," she whispered, "But I'm surprised he didn't notice the blinking plug sticking out of the back of his laptop."
PK nodded. "Highly amusing, my partner in crime."
"It was rather difficult to hack into his laptop, though- it took forever to connect. He must have some really good hacking-proof software." SD continued, leaning back in her chair and stretching a bit, "He may be one of my favorite bishies, but it is so fun to get him angry!"
"True- but I still wanna know how he gets his coat to do that flaring thing… mine doesn't do that." PK replied.
SD smiled and nodded, "Mine neither- wanna play a round of online blackjack?"
PK headed back to her seat. "Sure, same room as always?"
"Hai."
The bell rang a few minutes later- SD and PK packed up their things and stopped by Seto's desk on the way out.
"Mr. Kaiba, can you please tell us how your coat does that thing?" PK whined as SD tried to get the device out of Seto's laptop without him noticing.
Seto closed his eyes and tried to keep his temper in check.
"For the last time, no. I don't even know how it does it!" he replied through gritted teeth.
SD smirked and mentally rejoiced as she removed the darn thing from Seto's laptop.
"C'mon, PK," she said, pocketing the device, "He just doesn't wanna tell us. By the way, thanks for the very entertaining class hour, Kaiba."
SD and PK smirked to themselves and headed towards the door- only to bump into a tall, spiky-haired figure.
"Gomen nasai, girls." he said, walking in and addressing Kaiba, "Kaiba- I heard screaming coming from here earlier, is every-"
Yami was cut short as Kaiba jumped up from behind his desk and started strangling him. The two started to pummel each other, and SD and PK just stood there- huge smiles on their faces.
"That was a total success!" PK said, watching as Kaiba punched Yami in the stomach.
"Get 'im, Seto!" SD yelled, gaining Kaiba's attention for a second; Yami used that to his advantage and whacked him in the face.
"Let's get outta here, SD. I don't wanna get caught up in the middle of this." PK said, dragging SD away from the classroom.
"Aw…" she replied.
A/N: Wow… almost 3000 words and 10 pages exact. That was a long chappie! Hope you guys liked it! Here's the review responses! You guys are great!
PK13: (throws out plushies and cookies to reviewers)
Sugarmaster15- Thanks a bunch for your review! Hoped you liked this chappie!
SD27: That it?
PK13: Yep. (sighs) Only 1.
SD27: (shrugs) oh well.
Ja ne, minna-san!
