thefutureMrs.Kaiba Thank you for the review! Love your story so if I have to update so do you! Lol.

Yamiko Yakou lol I had to blame it on you! It was fun. Lol. Yeah Pegasus still has the eye because he uses it to look into Shizuka's mind. Lol. This has totally become my main focus for the moment. I am already planning the third, written the fourth (I like the fourth chapter!), and the fifth (the fifth chapter is fluffy!), and I've started the sixth! Lol yeah I'm really psyched. (bows to Yamiko responsible for this fun-to-write-plot). That's also the reason that more people are doing the 'Dare' than the 'Challenge'. It's fun!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any places, people and/or other things you are familiar with from the show or anything else. The idea for this fiction was from Yamiko Yakou. Blame her if you have a problem.

A Note on the Story:

Pegasus never lost the Millennium Eye, so he can still read minds and takes souls and stuff (hey, you never said he couldn't!)

Ch 2

Shizuka squealed and turned over as the knock came at the door. She audibly gasped and Kaiba gave her a deadly look before throwing the blankets over her head. He cleared his throat and made sure that Shizuka was completely covered before he said, "Come in." He tried his best not to sound irritated.

"Um…Nii-Sama?" A childish voice called through the door as it opened a crack.

Kaiba sighed and rolled his eyes. "Yes, Mokuba, what is it?"

"Erm…you have a visitor…" Mokuba sounded awkward, his fourteen-year-old mind somehow grasping what he had interrupted.

Kaiba rolled his eyes again and settled back into the bed, Shizuka felt his arms close around her again. "Tell them to come back later."

"But, Nii-Sama it's—" Mokuba's voice was cut short by an excited squeal that came from down stairs.

"OH KAIBA-BOY!" The over-enthusiastic voice of Pegasus J. Crawford drifted up the stairs and Shizuka felt Kaiba's body twitch. "KAIBA, DON'T KEEP US WAITING!"

He grumbled as he crawled out of the bed and grabbed a pair of boxers off the floor to cover his lower body. (Au 1). He grabbed a dark blue robe from his closet and wrapped it around his body. Shizuka sat up pulling the covers with her and giggled at the agitated look on her lover's face.

"Stay here," he said stepping out the door. The minute his footsteps his reached the carpeted stairs she jumped up and grabbed a yellow robe he had found for her.

She quietly snuck out the door and a hand grabbed her robe and pulled her down. She would have gasped but a soft hand quickly covered her mouth. "Shh…" the voice warned and she saw Kaiba Mokuba kneeling behind a banister hanging. She nodded and he removed his hand from her mouth. He nodded down toward the door. Shizuka paused and listened.

"It's bad enough that you harass me at my office but my house!" Kaiba was saying Pegasus laughed.

"Why, dear Kaiba-Boy, I had to make sure you hadn't forgotten," he said.

"Your stupid contest, I know. But it doesn't start until tomorrow."

"Contrary," Pegasus said. "My guests need to be at the island today."

"You failed to mention that…" Kaiba said, the irritation in his voice growing.

Shizuka peeked over the banister. She loved watching Kaiba get angry…just along as it wasn't with her at least. Mokuba came up next to her.

"I love watching Nii-Sama get mad like this," he whispered. She nodded, giggling as his next comment mirrored her thoughts. "Just as long as he doesn't know what I've done…" he shuddered and gave her a sidelong smirk.

"…I thought you were busy at that moment," she caught Pegasus saying as he smirked knowingly. Pegasus's eyes looked up towards Shizuka and Mokuba and she noticed that only one of his eyes were a dark almond. The other really wasn't an eye…Shizuka felt herself entranced by it, falling into it. Until Mokuba pulled hard on her arm, forcing her down.

"Mokuba…" Kaiba's voice floated up to them in a deadly calm.

"Heh heh…" Mokuba said standing up, his hand on Shizuka's head, making sure she stayed down. "Erm…Yes, Nii-Sama?" He asked forcing a big fake smile.

"Room. Now."

Mokuba groaned and walked toward the wall.

"All the way up," Kaiba warned, watching his brother like a hawk as he ascended a second set of stairs. "You were saying, Pegasus?"

"Ah, yes, I was saying that you are to come right away and ride the boat to Duelist Kingdom."

"I'm busy."

"It's almost noon, Kaiba-boy, you can't have been too busy." Shizuka could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Ok, fine. When does the boat leave and who's riding on it?"

"Hmmm…" Pegasus was pondering his answer. "I'd say about two o' clock. The finalist of last years contest, with the exception of that tyrant Keith Howard, will be there. (Au 2 & 3) And one guest may accompany them. I told Jounouchi that you would be pleased to have his sister as your guest so he could bring Honda, and he almost—"Pegasus was cut off as Kaiba spoke vehemently.

"I am not taking the boat."

"Oh, come now, Kaiba-Boy, there's nothing wrong with the boat."

"I am not riding anywhere with the Mutt and his friends."

"Oh, such a pity, Yugi-Boy was sure looking forward to seeing you," Pegasus began to whisper. "He thinks you've been avoiding him."

Kaiba scoffed. "And he was right."

Pegasus seemed to shrug the comment off. "Oh," he said. "Well, you still don't have a choice, if you remember our deal."

Kaiba grumbled something that Shizuka couldn't hear.

"Lovely," Pegasus said, clapping his hands together. "So we'll see you there, Kaiba-Boy. And…" he raised his voice. "I look forward to meeting Shizuka-san face to face for once."

She laughed and raised her hand over the balcony, waving enthusiastically. Then she paused, waiting. Goodbyes were said. Then a door slammed. She heard heavy footsteps as he pounded up the stairs. He gave her a cold look, grabbed her upper arm, and pulled her up.

"Snoop," he said accusingly. "And you'll be sorry about that. I still have an hour…" he pushed her toward his bedroom door.

They were both standing at the docks two hours later when the others showed up. Jounouchi was the first one out of the car.

"Shizuka!" he cried, running over and hugging his sister. She blushed as he began to scold her.

"I'm fine, Katsuya, really," she insisted.

"Where were ya? I was worried sick!" He yelled.

"I told you I was at Anzu's."

"No you wasn't. I called when Pegasus came by."

Shizuka wilted, trying to think of an excuse. Of course, the one night she hadn't called Anzu first. Pegasus saved her at the moment when he suddenly arrived.

"Well, well, I see that everyone is here," he said looking over the group. Mai was standing against the side of the boat. Kaiba away from the others, often casting glances at Shizuka who stood surrounded by her brother and his friends. Mouto Yuugi and Mazaki Anzu exchanged a puzzled glance and they looked away and blushed. Shizuka definitely hadn't been at her house last night.

"So, to the boat!" he ushered them towards it, and leading the way up.

Shizuka quickly turned to the boat and ran up the plank after Pegasus. She didn't pause when they assigned rooms and she headed immediately towards hers only after she had taken two wrong turns.

She opened the door with her number on it and disappeared inside hurriedly shutting the door. A light blared on and she started back.

"Anzu-san!" she cried, recognizing the figure through the glare.

Anzu cocked her head to the side. "So who were you with that you had to lie and tell Jounouchi that you were at my house?"

Shizuka blushed immediately. "No-one…"

Anzu raised a brow. "Uh-huh. You can tell me."

Shizuka glanced down. "He's just a friend…I-I met him at school."

"And you're already spending the night at his house?" Anzu asked.

Shizuka blushed.

"How many times, Shizuka-san?"

Shizuka shuffled her feet. "A few…"

Anzu crossed her arms over her chest. Shizuka could barely see her eyebrows anymore. "Shizuka…."

"Do not even think about starting to preach to me, Anzu-san, because I will not take it. You are no better than I am. You've been with Yuugi in your own turn," Shizuka said, glaring coldly at her.

Anzu started back, now blushing her self. She turned away. "I was concerned," she said. "Geeze…don't go all Kaiba on me…" she rolled her eyes, but was right back at it. "So who is he?" she asked innocently.

Shizuka rolled her eyes in turn. "You know him. And you'll find out eventually."

Anzu pouted. "Come on…you can tell me….I won't tell anyone…."

Shizuka smiled. "NO!" she grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. Anzu looked shocked for a minute, but then she grabbed the same pillow and threw it right back at her. They were immediately engulfed in a huge pillow fight. Their giggling could be heard outside the room and down the hallway.

Kaiba Seto was sitting in the dining room. Alone, and usually he didn't mind it that way, but it was different today. Shizuka was all he could think about. A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts as he tried to concentrate on his book.

"How are you doing, Kaiba-san?" The timid voice of Mouto Yuugi came to his ear.

He looked up coldly. "I'm fine, Yuugi."

"Oh…" Yuugi looked somewhat awkward from the cold reception. In all truth, he really admired Kaiba for all that he had done. Worked his way up from a hard childhood; became the CEO of a multi-million dollar company…yes Yuugi envied him but…he had Anzu, whereas Kaiba had nothing. The title was Mou Hitouri no Yuugi's, (Au 4) but he, Yuugi, had gotten the girl…he suddenly snapped back to hear himself saying, "I just thought I'd ask…" his voice trailed off when Kaiba's gaze grew harder. He started rambling on about nothing. "Yeah, I'm fine. Grandpa's good, too. The shop has been able to buy a lot of those Duel Disks that you made. They're selling like crazy." He laughed nervously and his voice dropped to a whisper. "So…what were you doing here with Shizuka-san?"

Kaiba stiffened slightly but did his best to look unfazed. "We showed up at the same time. The wasn't a sin last time I checked, Yuugi."

Yuugi sighed heavily. "Do you always have to be like that, Kaiba-san?" Kaiba didn't reply, but turned back to the book he had been trying to read.

Yuugi's brow furrowed and he almost laughed. "Erm… 'Love Poems'? Kaiba-san? Since when?" (Au 5)

Kaiba stood up. "Yuugi, I have been avoiding you and your stupid questions for a reason. There is no way that I came here to listen to them again." He walked away into the hallway to escape Yuugi.

And he ran into Pegasus…

He felt a vein pulsing in his forehead. Why had he come on this trip? Why?

"Evening, Kaiba-Boy," Pegasus said cheerfully. "How are we enjoying our little cruise?"

"It's hell and I'm never coming back to anything hosted by you or any other person as long as I live," Kaiba replied, swearing the oath.

Pegasus laughed. "You don't mean that, Kaiba-Boy, you love it here!"

Kaiba (Au 6) rolled his eyes.

"Come now, I have a serious question," he adopted a reporter type attitude and stuck his wine glass in Kaiba's face as a mock microphone. "Do you, Kaiba Seto, plan to participate in this year's competition on Duelist Kingdom?"

"No," Kaiba said, forcing his way past him.

"You'll have to duel at least once Kaiba-Boy."

"And if I refuse?"

Pegasus only laughed in his face. His hand crept toward the pocket of his jacket and he removed a blank Duel Monsters card from it. "You know the penalty, Kaiba."

Kaiba stiffened again. "If you even dream of touching my little brother again…"

Pegasus only laughed. "Your brother?" he said, mockingly. "I find your girlfriend to be much more appealing, Kaiba-Boy."

Kaiba grabbed the collar of Pegasus's shirt. Sen-Nen Eye (Au 7) or not, no one threatened something that belonged to Kaiba Seto. No one…

"You touch her and I swear to God I will kill you with my bear hands," he growled.

Pegasus didn't doubt him for a moment, but toying with Kaiba was far too fun. All he needed to do was get to Shizuka, and that would be all too easy with the Eye. He just needed Kaiba out of the way. And Yuugi was the one to do it…

Authoress Notes: (foreshadowing foreshadowing) lol that was fun. Now to the third chapter! Yeah that chapter will be fun. First PegasusxShizuka movement! But aren't you all wondering how Pegasus is gonna get rid of Seto? Hee hee. And how is Yuugi, poor innocent, little Yuugi, going to help? You'll see! R&R please!

Au 2: Believe it or not there was actually an asshole at my school with this name. I thought it was funny.

Au 3: Yeah and just in case you haven't noticed its been one year.

Au 4: For anyone who doesn't know, that's Yami.
