Thanks for all the reviews guys! You rock! I don't want to give individual thanks because I didn't want to keep you waiting for the new chapter. So I'll just say I really appreciate all the good compliments and enthusiasm! I'm updating more because school is out and I don't really have anything to do. / Yes, yes, I am a loser. -.- I know.

Mokuba was on his stomach scribbling on a piece of paper what he wanted the fliers to look like. The picture he had taken of Brownie lay by his side along with the dog himself. Seto sat in a chair across from Mokuba and looked down to see what progress he had made.
"Mokuba, where do you plan to put the fliers?" Seto asked dully. He had started to point out a few things that Mokuba would need for the owner to know that this was his dog.
"I don't know, I think I'll put a few on the poles on the main street, maybe you could hand some out at Kaiba Corp.?" Mokuba raised his head from the paper and looked hopefully at Seto. The dog yawned loudly and rested his head on his paws and started to sleep.
Seto let out another long sigh and nodded at Mokuba. Mokuba gave Seto an ear to ear smile and then went back to finishing his flier. Seto had offered to do it on the computer. But Mokuba had said that it would seem that he put more effort into it if he did it by hand. And he had nothing else to do in the house.
"Done!" Mokuba exclaimed. He looked down at his work and smiled. In the middle of the paper was a picture of Brownie, and on the top it had 'Dog Found' in large bold letters. Below the picture were a few descriptive notes about Brownie's appearance and his personality as far as Mokuba knew.
Mokuba stood up and held out the paper to Seto and waited for him to take it. Seto looked at Mokuba questioningly and then took the paper out of his hands. Seto simply sighed and rose from his chair.
"How many do you need?" Seto asked while flipping over the paper in his hands expecting more on the back. It was blank.
Mokuba thought for a while. How many would he need? He figured about ten or fifteen for the street, and the Kaiba Corp. building was so large, he figured he would need about sixty or seventy. Sure it was a little over the top, but he wanted to make sure the owner was found. And he could give some to Yugi to hand out when customers came in at the game stop. Mokuba used his fingers to try and add it all up for a few moments before answering an impatient Seto.
"Well?" Seto tapped his foot.
"A hundred!" he chirped.
"A hundred?" Seto stopped tapping his foot and looked at Mokuba with a quirked eyebrow. "Where are you planning to put all of these? Do you plan to put them on the walls at Kaiba Corp.? I think not," Seto said flatly.
"No, some I would put on the telephone poles on the street, some I would hand out at Kaiba Corp. and then the others," Mokuba stopped. He was afraid of Seto's reaction but gently continued. "I could give to Yugi at the game stop to hand out to the customers," he said quickly and swallowed.
Seto stood there for a moment the paper still in his hands. Did he hear Mokuba right? Did he just say he wanted Yugi in on this too? What did Kaiba have to do to prove to Mokuba, he didn't want any kind of favors from Yugi? He composed himself from the frustration and sighed at Mokuba. He didn't want to disappoint his younger brother, and if that meant letting Yugi and all his friends help, then so be it.
Seto nodded to Mokuba and walked out the door to make copies of Mokuba's homemade flier.
Mokuba sighed, relieved that he didn't have to experience his brother's anger so early in the day.

Seto stood in the elevator as he watched the numbers on top of the door slowly increase until it reached the top floor. Earlier when he was downstairs he told the receptionist to hand the fliers out to whoever stopped by the desk. She was about to ask why, but Seto was already halfway across the room walking towards the elevator.
The doors slowly opened to reveal the long hallway and a proud door at the end with the name Seto Kaiba, CEO on the door engraved in gold.
As Seto glided down the hall in long strides he received a few 'good morning Mr. Kaiba's' and 'good to see you sir' from his employees which Kaiba only responded to with a grunt or just continued on his way to his door. When Kaiba was 2 feet from his door it suddenly swung open and came very close to hitting the already annoyed CEO in the face. He was about to tell off whoever had the nerve to just be careless like that, when he noticed a shocked Leigha standing at the doorway with a bundle of papers in her hands and a pen in her mouth. She had on black pants and a crimson blouse, her black bra revealing itself for Seto's wandering eyes. Her black heels made her a couple of inches taller and her hair in a French braid behind her and loose hairs framing her face.
"Kymmph," Leigha mumbled through her pen and a few papers fell off of her tower of papers.
Seto snapped out of his daze, and watched as she started to bend down to collect the papers. But Seto beat her to it and put them on top of her pile accompanied with his infamous smirk on his face. He looked at her messed hair and improperly buttoned shirt. She must have been doing a lot since Seto was out doing a few last minute things for Mokuba, namely the fliers.
"Wrrph wph ythsmrnin?" she mumbled again, Seto took the pen out of her mouth and then looked at the drool disgustingly as it dripped down to the ground.
"Now what were you saying?" he asked and threw the pen behind him which received an 'ouch' and a few colorful curse words from whoever got hit with it. Leigha stared wide-eyed at Seto and then narrowed her eyes at him.
"That was my pen," she scowled.
"I'll just get you another," he waved his hand and continued, "what were saying that I didn't understand when you had that…pen in your mouth?"
"I said," the papers started to wobble and Leigha started to lose her balance, Kaiba quickly steadied the papers and narrowed his eyes on her.
"Let's go inside my office, and you can put those somewhere where they won't make a mess," he brushed passed her and walked inside his office where his desk and laptop had been waiting for him all day. He collapsed on the chair and swung it around so he was facing Leigha's desk a few feet away from his. He slowly interlaced his fingers and placed his elbows on the desk in front of him as he watched his secretary place the ridiculously massive stack of papers on her desk carefully. She sighed when she succeeded and turned to face Seto. She opened her mouth to speak but heard scattering of papers behind her and loud clunk. Seto chuckled softly as he watched her expression change to annoyance. She abruptly turned around to face the mess behind her. The papers she placed on the desk were, as she imagined, all over the ground, along with her stapler and cup of pencils that spilled over her desk. She let out a long exasperated sigh and bent down to clean it up.
"You can do that later," Kaiba said amused as he watched her pick up the papers one by one.
"Why? What's more important than cleaning up my mess?" she said sarcastically and slowly turned her head with a bored look on her face to see her smirking boss.
"A lot of things," his smirk then turned into a mischievous grin.
Leigha looked at him confused but then quickly changed the subject.
"So, ah, you wanted to see me," she stammered.
"Yes, a few things I need to talk to you about," he said and closed his laptop with a click. He stood up from his desk and walked over to Leigha holding a few papers in her hands. He took the papers from out of her hands and put them on the desk. He then turned to her with his sharp blue eyes that burned into her greens. Leigha was unfazed she just cross her arms over her chest and looked at him right in the eyes.
"I need to talk to you about Mokuba," he said and walked back over to his desk where he grabbed a piece of paper from inside one of his drawers in the desk. He closed it and then walked back over to Leigha and handed the paper to her. She snatched it away from him and skimmed over it and narrowed her eyes at each word.
"As much as I love your brother Kaiba, don't you think this is a little too much?" she asked as she handed the paper back to him. He didn't take it but looked at her with a serious look.
"No, I want to ensure he's safe and you know what you're doing," he eyed the paper momentarily and turned his attention back to her. "You keep that you know."
Leigha quickly retracted her hand and threw the paper on her desk.
"I can't believe this! And I can't believe you!" she was starting to get really annoyed and her voice was raising. "You expect me to spend more time with you than I already have to here in this…prison?"
Seto scowled at her but answered simply and calmly. "If you don't like it here, fine, it's not my problem. But since you're my personal secretary, as you were hired for, I believe you are required to deal with personal assignments. And this assignment would suit your title perfectly," he stated flatly.
She ground her teeth in frustration.
"Fine, what time do I have to be there?" she said through clenched teeth.
"It should tell you directions and the time that you need to be there on the paper," he paused. "But you should know that since you read it, right?"
Leigha's eyes widened slightly and took the paper off her desk and read it. It needed her to be at the mansion at 10 on weekends until 10 at night. She supposed it was better then being here at 6 like she usually was. She hadn't noticed that Seto was only a few inches from her, she slowly lifted her gaze from the paper and followed up his shirt to meet his eyes. He was eyeing her blouse, and she looked down and noticed she had buttoned it completely wrong, and a small amount of her black bra was showing.
She hadn't noticed that he had started to unbutton her shirt slowly and button it up correctly. She shook her head and looked down at his hands, playing with her buttons. She slapped his hands away and her eyes flashed dangerously at him. He only grinned at her and leaned in close to her face. She had started to become extremely nervous and a blush crawled across her cheeks.
"I was only helping you button your blouse up correctly," he chuckled.
"I don't need any help from you, especially with putting on my clothes," she snapped.
"Oh? What about taking them off?" he teased with a suggestive smirk.
She looked at him in shock and was at loss for words, and again he came towards her.
"What happened after dinner that night when you fell?" he said huskily and grabbed her upper arm and pulled her against him.
"I-I don't remember," she stuttered. Yes you do! Her head was spinning. Her and Seto were a mere centimeter apart; she could feel his breath on her face. He smelled like he did the night after their dinner, that same cologne he wore.
Why does he smell so good?
"Would you like me to remind you?" his face came closer to hers after each breathy word. She started to panic and push on his chest to try and squirm away. But with each try to get away, Seto just pulled her against him again until he finally grabbed at her waist and pressed her even further into his hardened body.
She was staring at his chest with wide eyes, afraid that if she looked into his eyes, she would regret what would happen next. She fought against her wishes and slowly raised her head to gaze into his deep blue pools. He was staring at her intensely, deciding whether or not to crush his lips to hers or push her away and tell her to do some work. Her green eyes looked so captivating up close.
Leigha finally decided to answer his question. Her eyes hardened as the words flew out of her mouth venomously. "No, I don't."
Seto only smirked at her irritable state. He loved it when she got mad. Her green eyes flashed and her cheeks turned red. He decided he would show how much he loved it.
"You're so beautiful when you're angry," he said hoarsely and started to come towards her. She pressed both her hands on his face to stop him. He growled angrily and grabbed her wrists. He pulled her to him so her lips would reach and connect with his.
Leigha was shocked, confused, angry…and happy as Seto's lips took her top and bottom lips. She had slowly responded back as his lips trailed her bottom lip begging for entry. She allowed him to enter and parted her lips. Slowly it dawned on her what was happening; she was playing tonsil hockey with Seto Kaiba! Her boss! What the hell was she doing!
She pushed him off weakly but enough to make him stumble back and both stood there breathless and in silence. Leigha was the first to speak.
"You…why…what…how?" she had no idea what to say. She was so angry with him and herself, and confused that he would kiss her…no, any girl at such an inappropriate time. Of all the places!
But, god he's a great kisser.
He just smirked at her and started to walk out of his office. Before he left out the door he turned to face a furious Leigha standing speechless where she was left with narrowed eyes and a clenched jaw and fists.
"I expect to see you at the mansion soon," he grinned smugly at her and walked out his long trench coat billowing out behind him as he walked to the elevator.
She stood there for a moment, until it finally crashing down. The confusion, the rage, the stress she kept in all the time. She had to let it out, and Kaiba taking something so special, and to share with him? The thought made her lose it.
Before Seto had a chance to get a foot inside the elevator he heard loud clicking and turned around at the last second to notice Leigha coming at him she was running into people and papers were flying everywhere when she ran into a male employee.
Leigha and Seto came in contact as she tackled him to the ground and into the elevator as the metal doors closed behind them. Seto had a confused expression on his face as he looked up to a panting Leigha and her dangerously narrowed eyes. Leigha's hands were holding her up from the ground so she wasn't laying completely on Seto, and her legs straddling Seto's waist.
"You…jerk," she breathed.
"What?" he asked confusion still evident on his handsome face.
"You! You're such a jerk! You-you took me by complete surprise with that…in there! You took away something special! I can't believe how inconsiderate you are!" she exclaimed. Her face was right above his, her cheeks red from all her anger and her eyes were flashing.
Why is she so gorgeous?
"What? You mean this?" he started to pull her down but before they could connect again she pushed herself off of him and stood above him. Each of her legs on both side of him, and him looking up at her, it made her feel powerful, but it didn't last long.
Seto stood up at his full height and was now looking down at Leigha, his smirk playing on his mouth. He reached out to grab her arm but she slapped it away, he just looked amusedly at her and grinned.
"You know, it's no wonder nobody loves you," she started. At this Seto frowned at her, and crossed his arms across his chest. "You're such an egotistical, bitter, cold, snobbish, maniacal, power-hungry, wealthy, possessive," her voice started to get softer as she continued and noticed his narrowing eyes, "dark, protective, tall," she paused. Seto was looking at her now with a raised eyebrow and his azure eyes that were irresistible. She sighed and finished without knowing what she was saying and Seto stepping closer to her. "Handsome, and irresistible." She gasped and backed up running into the wall and cursed under her breath for finishing her thoughts and having no place to go.
Seto placed his hands on the wall behind her and leaned in so his face was only an inch from hers. He quietly whispered against her mouth. "Don't forget stubborn Leigha, I always get what I want, and what I want-" before he could finish Leigha grabbed the back of his head and pressed her mouth on his.
Seto was surprised at her sudden movement that he didn't respond back until he felt her hands run through his hair. She entangled her hands in Seto's silk brown locks, as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his hand on the small of her back so she would arch to his touch. Neither of the two had heard the doors of the elevator open or notice a few familiar faces standing there staring at them.
There stood a shocked Yugi, Tea, and Joey gawking at the scene of someone only Yugi knew and Kaiba, in an intense lip lock.
Seto slowly pulled away from their kiss and finished his sentence. "Is you," he said in a ragged and hoarse voice.
"Leigha? Kaiba?" they both heard a voice at the door and turned their heads to see Yugi and a couple of unfamiliar faces to Leigha, but not to Seto.
"Kaiba? What da…" Joey started his eyes wide with confusion.
Seto was now off of Leigha completely and standing in his dueling stance before everyone in the elevator.
"Yugi?" Leigha exclaimed and walked out of the doors leaving a fairly angered Seto inside the elevator.
Yugi gave a nervous laugh and then looked at you shyly. "I just thought I would come and visit you since you told me you worked here on the top floor, and these two tagged along." He rubbed his head and then looked at the ground.
Oh god, this is bad, for Kaiba and me. What can I tell him? What do I do?
She then turned to Joey and Tea who were now as confused as ever. "I'm Leigha Mouto, Yugi's cousin," she gulped and then gave them a warm smile.
They were both staring at Kaiba and then at Leigha, and then at Kaiba, and then at Yugi, until Joey finally passed out from all the confusion on stress on his mind which caused Tea to yelp a little and kneeled down to make sure he was okay. Seto just let out a grunt and walked out grabbing Leigha's wrist and pulling her along with him.
Yugi just gave his cousin a lopsided smile and had no intention in stopping Kaiba, especially in this situation. As Seto dragged her along to who knew where, she looked back over her shoulder; hoping one of them would chase her and stop Kaiba from taking her away.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
So yeah. I updated and I hope Seto isn't too OOC. I tried to keep him IC but at the same time make him kind of…not I guess. Not really, but whatever. R &R please!
