A/N Here is the next chapter. Ok people I need to let you all in on something. Each month is going to be a new month until the month of may shows up in this story. However, if I put a letter i.e. chapter 1b then it's the same month just a new chapter. Also around March, April, and May I may do a week to week or day-by-day not sure. It all depends on what is going on by the time I get there. I hope you all understand that. Oh and when I do go into the next month I'll be naming the month and how long until the Wedding. Like last chapter was June 12 months to go. Well on with the show err story in this case.
Chapter 2 July 11 months to go.
It's the first of the month and Michelle is due to arrive in an hour. She couldn't wait. She'd be living with Kaiba and if it all worked out, as she hoped, she wouldn't be going back to the states. She was getting off, looked around, and spotted Joey. Michelle was wearing blue jeans, black short sleeve top with sunglasses on like a headband. Putting her bags down she hugged him.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine. Some bad news."
"Oh. What is it?"
"Someone bailed Tristan out."
"Oh my. I guess you're a little scared to be out then on your own."
"Ya. But with Seto around its all cool"
"So where is he?" Michelle asked as they got her luggage and walk outside.
"In the limo over there. He had a call to take. Even if the company is now Mokuba you can't keep him a way from it for very long." Joey said as they neared the limo. Ones there the driver took her bags and put them in the trunk Joey open the door for her and climbed next.
Seto was inside talking on the phone when the door opened. "I have to go Mokuba. Ya she's here. Ok. I'll see when we get home." Michelle climbed in and sat across from him will Joey sat next to him. "Seto this is Michelle Brown, and old friend of mine. Michelle Seto Kaiba. My…"
"Oh yes. Mr. Kaiba. I have read about you in the New York Times. It was amazing some of the stuff you do. Then on top of all that you had time to play a silly card game." That got both Joey and Seto. They both said "A SILLY CARD GAME."
"Michelle. It more then that."
"Oh please Joey. It's a bunch of cards with some of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen."
"Miss. Brown…."
"Oh please its Michelle. Miss Brown is too formal."
"Yes. Michelle. Duel Monster is all about strategy and trying to figure out the guy's next move."
"That is said for all card games and games as a whole. Maybe I just don't get." By now, they were about halfway there when Michelle's cell phone went off. "Excuse me." Answer "Hello. Michelle Brown speaking." Quiet for a few moments. "No. I said to send the paper Wednesday you jackass. If you screw up one of are the biggest clients I'll have you head on a sliver platter. You got that you jackass." Hangs up. Smiling "Sorry that was work."
"Do you call all your employees jackasses or what he special?"
"What? Oh, you mean Erin. No she's just my personal assent." By now they were at Kaiba Mansion. As she got out and walked inside, she said she was nice looking.
Right then Mokuba was climbing down the stairs and walked over to her. "Hi. I'm Mokuba. You must be Michelle Brown." Sticking out his hand for her to shake it. "Yes I am Michelle Brown and it nice to meet you Mokuba." All the while thinking as soon as move it your out. "Well I have had a long trip and somewhat Jet lag. If one of you would be so kind as to show me my room I would really be grateful." "This way Michelle." Joey said as he led her upstairs.
"I don't like her Seto. She has a hash look in her eyes." Mokuba said as soon as Michelle and Joey where out of earshot. "I know what you mean Mokuba. I'll have to keep a watch on her."
"This is your room. Mine and Seto's is down the hall and Mokuba's is right a cross from you."
"Thanks Joey. I'll be down around dinner time."
"Ok See you later." Joey said as he closed the door. Michelle waited a few moments then she pulled out her phone and dialed Tristan up. She wanted to make sure that he was all set for when the plan went into action. As soon as she got off, she unpacked and took a short nap.
Over a Tristan's house
Tristan was in the living room eating his dinner when the phone ran.
"Hello."
"Hey it me Michelle."
"I take it you at Kaiba's."
"Why else would I call?"
"I see. Don't worry as soon as your ready I'll do my part."
"Good. Plan Break up will happen very soon. Got go. With being, jet lag and all I want to take a nap. Chow."
"Bye." The hung up. Putting the phone up Tristan could help but smile. "Very soon Joey you'll be mine."
Over the course of the next few weeks Michelle, meet everyone. She got along great with Bakura, Marik and Malik. She was like one of the guys with them. Tea and she didn't hit off to well. Michelle got board with her friendship speeches with the first one. "Do you always talk about that or should I say preach at it? Man girl get a life. Not everything comes up roses." Bakura and Malik started to laugh will Marik just nodded his head. Tea just look shock that someone said that to her. Joey just looked at her and was thinking 'this is not the same Michelle I remember. She wouldn't have gotten a long with those guys.' Deciding to think about it later and take Michelle's mind off Tea decide to show her what Duel Monsters was all about.
After a few moments of it, she still didn't get and thought it still was a silly game. No matter what they did or showed her, she thought it was a silly game. She did have to like some of the moves they made and found some of the cards cool looking but over all she just thought of it as a silly game. "Come on Michelle. Just give a try. I'll even teacher how to play." Never being able to pass up a change to learn something new she gave it a go. They all found out that she had a talent for it and almost beat Yami. She knocked him down to 500 life points before he whipped out the rest of her 200 lifepoints.
"That was fun. Silly but fun."
"I knew you'd like it. Just had to give a go. Beside what do you have against silly?"
"Just haven't had much time for it that all."
"You sound like Seto." She just shrugged her shoulders and as if on cur, her cell phone rang. "I have to take this," she said as she head outside. Just as she opened the door, she answers it. They could all see her talking and who ever it was got her mad then the next moment she was smiling. The caught the last of it as she came in still on the phone. "Hey Joey does Kaiba have a computer I can use. One with a wed cam. Erin messed up a meeting and I have to fix it." "I'm sure he does. Do you remember how to get back?" Shaking her head yes, she turned around and headed back out saying, "Keep them there and set it up. I'll be on as soon as I can." with that the door closed and she started to jog back to Kaiba's.
Later that night around dinnertime, Seto was in his office and Michelle was in her room. They both were working. Mokuba and Joey sighed as they got up from the table and went to go get them. Mokuba went to get Michelle while Joey went to get Seto.
Mokuba was about to knock when he heard Michelle on the phone. "Tristan I'm telling you it will be fine. They don't think anything is going on. No. Yes, I did call duel monster silly but I don't see how that can lead to anything. Tristan when the time comes to break them up it will happen. I'll call you later." It was quiet for a few more moments before she said she had to go. Mokuba ran from the door after hearing this. She was talking to Tristan and they came up with a plan to break up Seto and Joey. He just turned to leave and to and tell Seto and Joey what he heard when Michelle opened her door.
