A/N - Thank you all who reviewed.


By the next day Yami was back to normal as far as his health was concern. He was however more then ever annoyed with Seto who had wakened him up every few hours to make sure the kitty was okay.

"I'm fine Kaiba," Yami would snarl each time the tall brunet woke him up. Sometimes the tri-haired cat would swipe at Seto's face with his clawed hand but he would always miss his target.

Finally morning came and Seto started leaving Yami alone; satisfied that the cat-human would survive. Morning however brought about some whole new problems for Yami; a guilty Mokuba.

"Yami I'm really sorry!" Mokuba had taken to following the cat around all morning while the cat roamed the mansion and its grounds.

"I'm fine Mokuba," Yami sighed with frustration while rolling his eyes. Unlike with the rich CEO Yami couldn't easily attack the young Kaiba brother. "Really!" Yami attempted to flash Mokuba a bright smile but Mokuba wasn't buying it."

"Let me buy you a present to make it up to you."

"No more presents!" Yami panicky replied, the bell jingling as he snapped his head around to look back at the raven haired child.

"Okay…no presents. How about I make you some lunch then? I know how to cook a little. Or I could get you some tea or something."

Yami's stomach rumbled at the mention of food. He hadn't eaten a lot the day before and it was nearing lunchtime anyway. Reluctantly he nodded his head.

"Alright!" Mokuba happily cried. "Wait here! I'll bring it to you!"

Mokuba hurried off while Yami plopped down on the couch he spent most of yesterday sleeping upon. Rushing towards the kitchen, Mokuba crashed into his brother who had been walking down the stair; also on his way to the kitchen.

"Niisama!"

"Mokuba what are you doing? You know it's dangerous to run around inside."

"Sorry Niisama I was going to make Yami some lunch to make up for what happened yesterday."

A devilish smirk crossed Seto's lips, which fortunately for him Mokuba didn't notice. "Don't worry Mokuba. I have an extra special lunch that I've prepared for Yami today."

"But I promised him I would make it!"

"Yami won't mind. Trust me. Why don't you go test play that new computer game I've been designing? I need your honest option on it before I move onto the final stages of development."

"Okay Niisama!" Mokuba happily cried rushing up the stairs; running towards the brunet's office.

Seto's smirk only grew as he turned and continued his stroll into the kitchen.


"Here."

"Yami looked up from the plasma TV he was watching while he waited for Mokuba to return. Instead he was surprised to find the elder Kaiba holding his tray of food.

"Where's Mokuba?"

"Working on something for Kaiba Corp. I told him I would cook instead."

Yami sniffed at the pizza, which was on the tray as Seto sat it down on the coffee table in front of the cat. It smelled delicious and since the accident Seto had been nicer to him so Yami trusted that the food was okay.

"What kind of pizza is it?"

"A kind that's specially designed for cats."

Yami narrowed his crimson eyes, glaring at the tall brunet as Seto stood by the couch watching Yami with hidden amusement. "By that I mean instead of the normal toppings it has various types of fish."

"I guess that's okay," Yami murmured picking up a slice of it.

Yami could tell it wasn't made with normal pizza dough but it smelled so yummy that Yami didn't pay attention to that small detail as he took a tentative nibble of the food. The cat was surprised at how tasty the pizza was. Quickly he continued to gulp down the food.

"See! I knew you'd like it," Seto triumphantly grinned. "Cats love Catnip Pizza!"

"Yami's eyes widen in alarm as he frantically began spitting out the food. He had seen Killer, Bakura's cat, under the affects of catnip and had no desire to experience a kitty high himself.

Unfortunately for Yami the catnip already had begun affecting his mind.

Swirls of bright colors clouded his vision. Through the colorful haze Yami could see Seto talking to him but it only came across as muffled incoherent words.

Yami's vision spun as he tried focusing on what the CEO was saying. But a fly that flew in front of his face quickly distracted the ex-Pharaoh's attention.

Yami swiped at the fly with a clawed hand only to fall off the couch for his efforts. Unaware he had fallen Yami pounced at the fly, which landed on the wooden floor. Again the human-cat missed the fly that continued to buzz around the living room.

Seto couldn't contain his laughter as he watched Yami spring around trying to catch some unseen creature. The cat would pounce and then glare at something only he could see as he madly swiped at the air.

Yami continued to violently snap his head around as he searched for the fly. With his last pounce he had landed face first against the wooden floor and had lost track of the fly.

"Psst! Yami!" The tri-haired teen looked around for who was calling his name. "Down here!"

Looking down at the floor Yami found three pink mice looking up at him. "Huh?"

"Come on Yami! Lets sing!" the trio of mice chirped together before breaking out in a song. "It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world!"

"Stop it!" Yami hissed while holding his hands over his ears.

"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hope and a world of fears. There's so much that we share; that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all."

In horror Yami looked over to window where on the other side a pink squirrel and bird were dancing together as they sung along with the mice.

"It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world!"

"I said shut up!" howled Yami so loudly that even Mokuba upstairs heard him.


"Stupid Seto," Yami muttered.

It had been hours since 'The Episode', which was what Yami referring to his little catnip experience as. Since his recovery, Yami had sought solitude outside; sitting on the ground with his knees drawn up to his chest while he hugged himself.

Yami sighed as he laid his head on top of his knees. He wanted to go home.

The chirping of a squirrel drew Yami's attention to a nearby tree. He shuddered slightly as he remembered the pink dancing squirrel from his catnip experience.

Waiting revenge against the squirrel and Seto, Yami narrowed his eyes at the squirrel and the Sennen Puzzle around his neck began glowing; the wadjet eye formed on the middle of his forehead as Yami summoned his dark powers. The squirrel stiffened as it suddenly found instant death.

As it tumbled to the ground from the tree, Yami sprung forward running fast across the lawn. Before the squirrel could reach the ground, Yami caught it in his mouth. With a smirk upon his face, Yami carried the squirrel back inside and up to Seto's office.

"What do you want?" Seto demanded to know when Yami barged into the room. Pausing from working at his computer, Seto glared up at Yami with angry blue eyes.

Yami grinned as he dropped the dead squirrel onto Seto's desk whose eyes widen at the object. "Yami!"

"Just being a cat," Yami innocently replied as he spun around and left the office.


"Alright new rules for living here are needed."

Once again Yami found himself back in the living room, sitting on the couch. In front of him paced Seto; his arms crossed in front of his chest as he walked. Yami could tell the CEO was angry but he couldn't care less.

"What's wrong Kaiba?" Yami innocently asked. "I've only been here two days. I can't already be causing that much of trouble."

"Well lets see…you clawed a perfectly good door, almost drowned in my pool, got a concussion, got tripped out on catnip causing you to scream the place down until you came off of your high, and now you're bringing dead animals into my home!"

"Two of those things weren't my fault!" Yami protested; his ears were flat against his head as he spoke. "Mokuba was the reason I got the concussion!"

"Do not make my brother feel more guilty then he already is!"

"And you're the one who gave me the catnip!"

"You didn't have to eat it."

"I made the mistake of trusting you!"

"Hmph."

"The squirrel was payback Seto; for what you did to me this afternoon. Of course we could always settle our differences in a duel. You've always have great success in dueling against me in the past."

"First of all, I am not going to fall for that trick of dueling you. Don't get cocky cause I can defeat you Yami. Only I have the skill to be your rival. Second, why are you calling me 'Seto' again? You've never called me that until recently."

"I don't know." Yami pouted as he turned away from the brunet CEO. "I just do."

Yami could feel Seto's eyes on him as he continued to refuse to look at the CEO. He prayed to the Gods that the brunet wouldn't figure out why he was kept calling him 'Seto'.

"It's because of him isn't it?" Yami silently swore as continued ignoring the CEO. "Hn. I was right."

Yami's tri-haired head snapped around to glare at the brunet. "Don't act like you know anything."

"Hn."

Yami looked away again as Seto remained staring at him. The cat was out of the bag so to speak therefore there was little reason to keep it hidden any further. "You know you are the reincarnation of my priest. It's easy for me to get confused."

"Why do I think there's more to it then that?"

"That's it. Nothing more." Yami held his breath once again praying to the Gods that Seto would allow the subject to drop.

"You're bad at lying," Seto finally declared before he turned around and stormed off.

Yami let out a sigh of relief. The last thing he needed the CEO to know at the moment was that he and Priest Seto had been deeply in love. It was easy for Yami to have feelings for the modern day version of his former love; Seto Kaiba and his priest were very much a like in certain ways. Both were headstrong, stubborn, always sought out power and rarely listened him.

A small smile crossed Yami's lips as he remembered that on more then one occasion his priest refusing to obey his commands. As pharaoh, Yami had ultimate control over all his priests during the day but when night fell across the land Priest Seto had been the one in charge of their bedchambers.

Yami's smile grew and his tail happily twitched as he ran a hand over his pointed ears. There was little doubt in his mind that if his current appearance had occurred in Egypt his priest would have taken great care of him. His priest would have taken great delight in making sure that he was the perfect pet who would have been willing to do anything his master asked. And Yami would have been the perfect pet for the rewards would have been far worth it.

Yami sighed and a frown crossed his lips. His priest was long gone so any fun they would have had with his current form wouldn't be possible. Seto Kaiba was not his priest and although Seto was very sexy to look at Yami knew that the CEO would never think of him as anything more than a rival.

"What's wrong Yami?"

Blinking, Yami looked around the room until his eyes fell upon Mokuba. He had forgotten that the raven-haired child was around in the home.

"It's nothing Mokuba. I was just thinking about the past."

"Niisama says that you should never dwell upon the past. That the future is the only thing that matters."

"I know Seto believes that but it's hard to forget about the past when you are from it."

"But shouldn't you also be concentrating on the future?" Mokuba questioned. "After all you were given the rare chance to live your life over. It's okay to remember the past but you shouldn't allow it to dominate your present life."

"You are wise beyond your age." Yami gave Mokuba sad smile as he ruffled the black hair.

"Well I am Seto's brother after all."

"However my problem is slightly different. At times my hear longs for someone from my past." Yami looked away from Mokuba as he spoke. "Especially around here," he quietly added.

"Ah I see," Mokuba said surprising Yami who snapped his head back around to look at him. "You're in love with Niisama but don't want to admit it."

"What? No!"

A look of horror crossed Yami's face while Mokuba laughed at him. "Aww…come on and admit it!"

"Mokuba!"

"Haha I can tell! You may not love Niisama yet but you loved his past self, which means you have feelings for Niisama!"

"Yeah you're definitely too smart," Yami muttered under his breath.

"So what do you like best about my brother?" Mokuba asked flopping down on the couch next to Yami narrowly missing the black tail. "His looks? His charming personality? What?"

"Mokuba! We are not having his conversation! I don't like Kaiba!"

Unfortunately for Yami, Mokuba continued chatting along ignoring him.

"I figure his looks have to play a factor since you liked his past self. But from the little I know they seemed to act alike."

"There's a big difference in that Seto loved me!"

"And you think Niisama doesn't?" Yami remained quiet as he waited for the raven-haired child to continue. "Niisama doesn't know how to express emotions well; especially love. Niisama never got the chance to learn about love. Our parents died so young and no one would ever love Gozaburo so he lived alone. But I can tell that he loves you. You're the only one Niisama considers worth his time who isn't related to business. He's obsessed with you!"

"Mokuba…" Yami sighed wonder how he was going to explain it to a child even one as smart as Mokuba. "Kaiba doesn't love me. He's done nothing but torment me since I got here."

"Did he not take care of you after you fell in the pool? Did he not take care of you yesterday when you were hurt? I was there both times Yami. I saw the worried expression on his face each time. He cares a lot about you."

"That's hard to believe."

"If Niisama's past self could love you then why can't Niisama? They are the same person are they not? One soul divided between two bodies…."

"Please leave me be for a while," Yami quietly said. "I have a lot to think about."

Mokuba nodded his head before hoping off the couch and running off.
