Asuka: Well here's the second one. I hope you like it, and don't worry it's not going to be as short as the last one was (the last one was only a page long…not even! I think that, even for me, is a record!) (NOTE: THIS STORY IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLD IN SETO KAIBA'S PERSPECTIVE! I, the narrator, WILL TELL IT.)

Disclaimer: you know the drill don't own, but will someday!

Chapter 2: "Step one: Enter Game"

BRING!

Went the IM screen. Seto had just finished putting the last pieces of the game together, and was ready to try it out…with someone else as well.

For a long time he had been talking to this other guy online. They had met in a Chat Room and he has since supported Seto on his game and in return for his support, and even help at one point, Seto trusted him enough to try out the game with him, so see if it was to work out properly.

The guys' name was Kyo and he was only 2 ½ years younger than he himself. And although it wasn't usual that he trusted someone other than his brother, the two had been talking for going on seven months, and Seto trusted him enough now, NOT to steel his Idea. After all, how could he? He lived in Kyoto.

NekoKnekoKyo22: Is it ready yet?

BEWDx3: no. U have to hook up your helmet! Moron

NekoKnekoKyo22: ……Dangit! Sory…

Seto shook his head. It was true. Kyo was an idiot. Another reason why Seto trusted him, seeing as to how he hardly knew how to work on a computer, nonetheless spell correctly!

BEWDx3: it's 'sorry' Kyo…

NekoKnekoKyo22: Okay! All hooked up!

BEWDx3: okay, now put the cord into the jack and-

Seto stopped right there because he saw Kyo typing something. He was certain that he was about to say:

NekoKnekoKyo22: what's a Jack?

"And I am correct!" Seto said with a sigh; speaking to himself of course.

BEWDx3: it's like a plug except with a small square-shaped whole instead. Now when you figure out what it is, please! Plug you're helmet in!

Kyo took a minute to answer.

NekoKnekoKyo22: oh I see it! But my internet connection cord is in the…thing. How am I suppose to hook it up without unhooking my internet.

BEWDx3: hold on

Just as Seto was about to answer, Mokuba had walked into the room.

"Hey bro," he said sleepily. Seto had neglected the fact that it was well past 1 in the morning. Yet another all-nighter with Kyo over IM.

"Hey, kiddo, go back to bed," Seto said softly.

"What're you doing up this late? Talking to him again?" Mokuba said, completely disregarding Seto's remark.

"Yes, now go on to bed, you have to wake up early tomorrow," his voice was starting to pick up it's pitch. A signal for Mokuba to quit his game of 20 questions.

He had started to turn but then stopped, a notice coming to his attention. "Hey bro, why do you have you're simulation helmet, with you? You're not planning to try out the game are you? You're still not done!"

"Because, I have to try it out; so yes, I am going to try it out; and yes, I am too done," he replied.

"But—,"

"Yes, Kyo is trying it out with me," and with that, Seto turned back around and continued to explain the hook up thing to Kyo.

Mokuba stood there for a moment, staring at his brother's back, thinking of what he had just said. He was going to say, "But I thought I was going to try it with you," but Seto had thought he was going to ask who was testing it with him. Mokuba had always, tested out these kind of things with his brother…and now since Kyo had shown up…

I hate him…

Mokuba had talked to Kyo once before, when he had IMed Seto while he wasn't there. He was a nice guy, he would give him that, but he has told Mokuba that Seto had talked about Mokuba…but not too often. Mokuba also noticed some things about Kyo that wasn't exactly boy like. Like how Kyo had always complemented how good of a worker Seto was, and how he thought Mokuba lucky to have a brother like him. But those where things that could be mistaken easily. The complements where nice, but were always said in a formal, and kind of girlishly, admiring sort of way. Mokuba was starting to think that Kyo was gay and had a crush on his brother. But he knew his brother wasn't gay. He lived with him. There wasn't any possible way that Seto was gay!

Or…was there…

He had seen the way Seto had talked to Kyo as well. For the first couple of months, he had been kinda mean, and insulting to Kyo…but Kyo never gave it much care. He always said he was sorry if he had made Seto mad, or if he had done something to make him angry, to let him know so he wouldn't do it again. And Kyo, as Mokuba noticed, was good at keeping promises. So, after a while, Mokuba soon saw his brother even smiling to some of the things Kyo would say…but the smile was always quick, and never lasted very long. For that, Mokuba was glad of, because he didn't want Seto to open up completely to that guy. He didn't want his only family to be taken away from him. And he certainly didn't want his brother being gay.

"Good luck…big brother," Mokuba said before he left the room and went back to bed.

Meanwhile Kyo had managed to hook up his cable into the jack, with Seto's help of course, and was now ready to be virtualized. All that was left was for Seto to start the simulation, and to, one at a time, virtualize the two of them.

NekoKnekoKyo22: Well! See you on the other side!

BEWDx3: lets just hope there is another side for the both of us!

NekoKnekoKyo22: lol!

That was the last comment before everything started up, and Seto's world went black. The simulation had started…but Seto hadn't pushed the start button. Their profiles where lost and Seto had just been virtualized…without starting it.

Meanwhile in Kyoto, a young girl lay slumped in her computer char with a helmet on her head.

(End Chapter 2.)

Asuka: well! I hope you liked it! Please R#R and no flames about misspells in Kyo's comments, they're suppose to be that way. (In fact, no flames at all, please)

TTYL!
