chapter two.
Seto looked at his phone, pressed a button and slipped it back into his pocket. Why was Bakura looking at me?...He has amazing eyes...
The group followed Kaiba as he made his way thru the streets and around corners. Kaiba watched the skyline as he walked, the others chatted idly, but Bakura always seemed to be quiet.
"Where do you think you'll go next, Yugi?"Tea brushed some hair out of her face.
"I donno, wherever the world takes me I guess!" Yugi always had a smile when he talked.
"I wanna travel someday." Tristan spoke up, making his way into the conversation. "New York City, San Fransisco maybe."
"Huh sounds neat!" Tea exclaimed.
"What about you, Tea?" Yugi, Tristan , and Tea continued their conversation, with a few comments added by Mokuba who was holding onto the sleeve of Kaiba's jacket.
Oh if only he and I could switch places... Bakura secretly wished. "er..." he said to himself...what on earth am I thinking? Kaiba, world's most secluded guy, and here I am, practically having fantasies about him? He shook his head and joined stride with the others.
"Look there it is!" Tea said, pointing to a sign a little ways away.
"Ooh, I wanna try 'deir sushi" Joey half laughed "even the signs look tasty!"
They all laughed, except Kaiba, who stepped forward and opened the door.
When everyone was finally in, Nanae grabbed a few menus and led them around tables beyond tables and into a quiet and cozy looking little section. The lights were dimmed, and around the secluded little booths, Christmas lights and ivy hung around. there was a trio of candles at every table, on a ceramic plate with a few stones around them. Couples shared the booths and talked amongst themselves.
"Seto, Moki, is so good to see you again!" Nanae had a lovely glow about her, and was always smiling and talking to guests, though her English wasn't all that great.
"Thank you, Nanae, good to see you again. It's been awhile, hasn't it?" Kaiba greeted her and motioned Mokuba into the booth. First Mokuba slid in, then Kaiba after him. On the other side, Joey and Bakura slid in. He sat down, looked across at Kaiba, and glanced at the menu, trying to hide. I get to be across from Seto! er... yeah... hmmm sushi... Tristan and Yugi sat down on the ends.
"So, what can I get for you to start?" Nanae looked to Yugi first.
"I'll just have a soda, coke please" He looked to her and smiled.
"Okay, some soda," Nanae noted this on her writing pad and looked around the table.
"Hmm... I'll have the same." Kaiba spoke from behind his menu. Nanae nodded as the others spoke up.
"Moki, you want something? I know we can make you some amochi real quick!" She winked at him and waited for his response.
"Yeah!" Mokuba grinned widely.
"And some lemonade too?"
"Ooh yeah! thanks Nani!"
"No problem!"
The others ordered a few appetizers and Nanae was off.
"This place is nice Kaiba, where did you hear about it?" Tea was off with the questions again.
The table was off in conversation again, but Bakura just sat quietly and admired Kaiba for a while. He smiled to himself.
"Mmm...look at that, Mokuba, you lucky dawg!" Joey's eyes lit up at the sight of food. Nanae was approaching, with a steaming bowl of her special amochi for Mokuba, and glasses and different plates of sorts.
"Here you go, Moki, big bowl of amochi! There even a blue one, but you have to find it!" She winked at him again and passed the bowl over Seto's head.
"Mmm... thanks Nani!" Mokuba grabbed the pair of chopsticks from the bowl, popped an amochi into his mouth, chewed and swallowed. "Great as always!"
"I'm glad you like!" Nanae moved with a swift grace, putting glasses and plates all around the table.
"Okay, I be back when you done with appetizers and we get you best sushi you ever had!" She smiled and was once again off.
Joey surveyed the plates on the table and glanced at Kaiba, who was rustling around in his jacket. He pulled out a thin laptop and set it on the table.
"Seto, more work?" Mokuba stopped stuffing his cheeks with amochi for a moment to whine slightly at his older brother.
"My work is never done, Mokuba." He buried his nose in his work and only looked up from time to time to reach for his soda. Everyone engaged in conversation, and food of course. Bakura pulled a few small items onto his plate and poked idly at them. Wow... Kaiba has great eyes...they're so...blue...so wonderful...
Kaiba stared at the windows he had opened to make others think he was working. He watched Bakura from over the top of his laptop, and admired his handsome, somewhat pale face.
Kaiba Kaiba Kaiba... He glanced down at his laptop and idly ran his fingers over the keys. You really should be working instead of daydreaming and spying on him. ah well...He watched Bakura go to take a sip of his drink, miss the straw and bring it back to his lips with one swift flick of his tongue. This somewhat shocked Seto, though he didn't show it. He watched Bakura all while he ate. his lips looked so soft, inviting almost.
I wonder what he's thinking about...Bakura pondered, stealing glances of Kaiba's wonderful face now and then. He thought he saw Seto staring at him one, but brushed it off. Kaiba was clearly engrossed in his work. Bakura studied his face for a while, his sharp curves, with a sharp attitude to match. Why is he so protected? Why doesn't he just relax and soften up a bit?
a/n : oh what Bakura doesn't know...
