Important: Ok just so you know, I changed Meyli's height a little so it will fit more in the story, she's now 5.6 inches but still taller than me. (sigh)

Chapter eight: An arrangement that doesn't please anyone.

"You've got to be kidding me?" Tea said as she looked at Meyli's exam.

It had now been two week that Meyli started school, she had become really good friend with Tea even if, for some unknown reason she still didn't wanted to go or even talk with the boys, safe for Yugi, she didn't minded him. As for Mokuba, well she made sure to see him less as possible and so far it was working.

"I don't see anything so special about it." Meyli just waved it off.

"Are you kidding me, only Kaiba ever get perfect at Mr. Filion's exam, I consider myself lucky if I score a 75 and I was the second best after Kaiba."

Meyli just shrugged her shoulder, she was a genius so she was used to this.

"You know, you and Kaiba sure have a lot in common." Tea said suspicious voice. Meyli looked at her with confusion. "You are also living with him, is there something you are not telling me?"

"I forbid you to ever think about such thing again, I'm not going out with Seto, the only thought of it makes me sick."

"You also are calling him by his first name, usually only his brother does it."

"You are so making me sick."

"What would you found so disgusting about Kaiba, even I have to admit that he's quite good looking."

"Then why don't you go out with him?"

"Well… because it's Kaiba."

"And why is that reason not good enough for me?"

"Because, first I don't live with him, second I don't call him by his first name and third we have noting in common."

"Don't you know that opposite attract?"

"Really funny."

Kaiba was working in his house office, lately he was staying more often home because of Mokuba and Meyli Even if he did notice that Meyli was doing her best to stay out as late as she could. So far he had been working for two hours without blinking, he wanted to get as much work done as possible before tomorrow, he had an extremely important meeting and would be away for an entire week, of course he had a babysitter, a young girl a little bit younger than him, Mokuba loved her a lot. (An: what? Did you actually believe he would let him alone with Meyli?)

The phone rang, Kaiba mentally cursed the thing for totally breaking his concentration. "Kaiba." He answered.

"What? Isn't there a way you can make an arrangement?" Kaiba listened at the answer. "Fine, I understand."

Kaiba hang up the phone, had she been any other employee he would have fired her right now but Mokuba would have never forgave him.

"Great, and how am I supposed to find another suitable babysitter before tomorrow morning." Kaiba wondered aloud.

8888

Kaiba opened the door of his little brother's room, just as always the kid was playing videogames. "Hey kid."

"Hi Seto. Are you done working now?"

"Yes."

"Great, can we play now? Please!" Here came the puppy dog eyes.

"I have to tell you something first." Seeing his brother's serious face Mokuba calmed down and gave him his complete attention. "Jade can't come to watch you while I'm gone." (An: Now I'm sure you all know where this is heading)

Mokuba looked sad, he really loved Jade as a babysitter, even if he still considered himself too old to have one. "But who will watch me then?"

"Well, the only other person who can is the old hag Janaki."

Mokuba had just the reaction that Kaiba expected. "What? You can't leave me alone with that old crazy bat! I'll go nuts before the end of the first day."

Janaki was an old woman in love with cats, she also had a strong believe that prune juice and the rod were the solution to everything. The juice more often since she wasn't a good runner and didn't hit really strong, Kaiba knew first hand since she used to be the baby sitter when Gozaburo was still alive. If you didn't became crazy with her you would die from prune intoxication.

"Don't worry kid, I'd rather leave you with the mutt then with her."

"Good, can I go stay with Joey?"

Kaiba gave him one of those faces. "I'm not that desperate kid, I said I would rather, not that I would."

"But there's no one else."

"You can try all you want there's no way I'll let you stay with the mutt and his drunken father."

"And who will watch me then."

Just then Meyli got out of her room, just as she passed beside Kaiba an idea popped in his mind, not one that he liked but the only one acceptable. "Not so fast." Kaiba grabbed her arm.

"Great, what did I do this time?"

"Is there something that you did that I don't know about?" Kaiba asked.

"Ok then, what do you want?"

"I'm going away for a week starting tomorrow morning, you'll take care of Mokuba while I'm gone."

"WHAT?" Both Mokuba and Meyli said together.

"I said you will watch Mokuba."

"You can't be serious." They both said again.

"I'm quite serious actually, It's already 9:30 and I'm leaving at 9 tomorrow, Jade can't come because of a sudden event and I can't get anyone else before tomorrow, unless you want me to ask the old hag Janaki…"

"No, anything but the old hag."

"Fine, then it's settle."

"And I suppose there is nothing I can say to get out of this one." Meyli said.

"Atually yes, you can go back where you came from, trust me, I don't like this idea either but I can't let Mokuba alone and I really have to go." Kaiba said walking away.

Meyli looked down at Mokuba. "Old hag?"

"Long story"

"I'm in no hurry."

8888

"So you'll have to watch Mokuba for an entire week." Tea said.

Meyli sighed in the phone. "Looks that way."

"Why do you sound so down about it? Mokuba is a sweet kid." Tea asked.

"Well, let's just say that we don't really get along."

"Yea, I heard about it, why is that?"

Meyli sighed. "I can't tell you."

"There sure is a lot of thing that you can't talk about." Tea joked.

"Not really, only one, the problem is that everything is related to that one thing."

"One thing I don't get is why Kaiba charged you to take care of Mokuba, sure he must know that you don't get along."

"Of course he does, apparently his usual babysitter's grandmother died so she can't come and the only other person available is some crazy old lady. Apparently she was Seto's babysitter when his step-father was alive and he sure doesn't like her. He even said that he would rather let Mokuba with Joey."

"Joey huh?"

"No actually he said the mutt."

"Now that does sound like Kaiba."

"Why does Seto call him a mutt anyway?"

"Well it's a long story that I'm not sure Joey would like me to tell anyone, not that someone doesn't know about it already. To make it short Kaiba creamed Joey in a duel and Joey was stupid enough to fall on his knee, Joey also became crazy every times Kaiba call him a mutt."

"Someone should tell him to just ignore him."

"We did, but he never listened. To come back to the subject of you taking care of Mokuba, what are you going to do about it?" Tea asked.

"Well I don't really have any choice in the matter, Seto made it clear that if I ever hurt Mokuba in anyway I could found myself another place to live so I guess I'll just have to watch him, after all the kid is 11 and there is like a dozen maids in the house, how hard can it be?"

8888 (The next day at 7)

"Please big brother!" Mokuba pleaded.

"I said no."

"Please"

"Mokuba I already told you, you can't come with me, you can't afford to miss a week of school."

"Come on Seto, I already know everything."

"No. What would you do anyway? Stay in the hotel room all the week?"

"I don't want to stay alone with her."

"You don't? Or she don't?"

Mokuba sighed. "Fine, I don't mind having her taking care of me, it's just that I know she don't want to, I know she hates me." Mokuba looked away.

"No, she don't hate you, she's just too simpleminded, prideful, jealous and stupid to even realise it and I'm passing some."

"Why would she be jealous of me? I never even met her before."

Kaiba cursed under his breath, maybe he should have passed jealous.

"So, she is one of those jealous possessive girlfriends who can't stand their boyfriend to care for someone else?"

Kaiba gave him one of those look that meant 'haha really funny' "She is not my girlfriend Mokuba."

"Whatever." Mokuba said copying his older brother. "Until you can provide me a better explanation I shall believe what everyone else believes."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Mokuba held out this morning newspaper. "What is that?"

"It's an article about your love with Meyli, apparently it had been going on for some time now."

"Give me that" Just as Kaiba started to read Meyli, who had heard the last part about the newspaper, entered the kitchen and started to read over his shoulder.

"Disgusting." They said together once they reached the part that said they were often saw kissing each other.

"Doesn't people around here have anything better to do then write those things?"

"Welcome to our life." Kaiba said.

"Hey it's not that bad, at least they haven't found anything about your past yet." Mokuba said.

Meyli gulped. "My past?"

"Of course, you are now 'officially' the girlfriend of the youngest CEO of all Japan and one of the richest people in the world." The little Kaiba said as if it was an every day thing.

Of course this wasn't something Meyli wanted, for all Japan to know about her past. The rest of the breakfast was silent, just as the limo ride to school. Mokuba hugged his brother super tight before leaving, letting Kaiba and Meyli alone.

"Hey."

Meyli looked away from the window to look at Kaiba. "What is it?"

"About the newspaper, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it and if any reporter came talking to you, don't say a single word."

"Ok, thank, even if I'm sure you have a hidden reason to make sure no one find out about my past."

"Like?"

"Not wanting to be associate with a thief who ran away from home."

"You forgot drugged."

"Hey I didn't take anything since I'm living with you." She lied.

"You lie the exact same way I do, what did you though? That I wouldn't realise it even if you never took it in the house?"

"Hey, you only said you didn't wanted any in your house."

"I'll be more explicit then, if you ever take any of this shit again you can find yourself a new place to live."

"Fine." Meyli said.

Kaiba held up his hand in front of her.

"What?" After seeing Kaiba's glare she sighed, she took out the small amount of drug she had and gave it to him. "Happy now?"

"You are better watch yourself while I'm gone." Kaiba said as the limo stopped in front of the high school.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." She said as she stepped outside.

"And Meyli?" She turned around with a questioning look on her face. "Take care of yourself."

"Sure." She waved it off.

"I'm serious, just because we don't get along well doesn't mean that I want you to get hurt."

"Fine, I promise."

"Good, just call me if there's anything wrong." Kaiba said before leaving her.

"Why would I call you, if there's anything wrong you'll kill me." She said even if she knew he couldn't hear her.
