Hi everyone, long time no see, I only have one exam left but it's only monday so I have time to update, this week was totaly crazy but I got through it, and it went well. only science left.

sweet blood: well you are a lucky one, your exam are only worth 20, mine are worth 50 and if the note on the exam is lower than the one I had during the year they can lower the year mark. Well, I don't think about kidnapping, it's too classic, but I thought about something else, something much more original.

Kariah: Hey long time no talk lolll, I hate people who act like Jenna also. (I hit one once at school and got suspended lolll) Congratulation, you're the first one who guessed right about the mystery man.

Congratulation to everyone who answered right, the mystery man is Kaiba's uncle as you all found out, I could name you all but I'm sure you want this chapter really bac and that would take like 20 minute, anyway you all recognise yourself

Chapter eighteen : Proposition.

Meyli looked at herself again, for someone who had just got hit two weeks ago she looked good, but that didn't meant she wanted to go to school. Kaiba never bothered her again about their uncle, even if she was sure he hadn't believed her, but she did noticed that he seemed more protective than usual. Once at school Meyli tried to ignore the looks the guys were giving her as much as she could but it was really making her feeling uncomfortable, at least she had her brother beside her, costing her a lot of nasty glare from the girls because no one knew yet that she was his sister.

"I have to go now. Will you be alright?"

Meyli looked up at him, she really didn't want him to leave but they didn't have the same class that morning. She nodded and Kaiba left to get to his class, leaving her alone in the hallway. So far everything was fine until she saw Jake walking toward her again, now that was something she wasn't ready for, she quickly turned the other way and saw Tea not far behind her.

"Hey Tea!" Tea turned around and saw Meyli coming her way.

"Hey, your back with the living I see." Then she noticed that something seemed to be bothering her friend. "Is something the matter?"

Before Meyli could even answer her Jake came up in front of them. "Hello ladies."

Tea rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" She hated the guy a lot but Jake knew from experience that he had to tread cautiously with her if he didn't want another kick where it hurts.

"Hey, can't a nice boy like me talk to a nice girl like your friend over there without getting nasty looks?" Like I said, tread cautiously, any wrong word and he would never have kid.

"Sure, but I don't see any nice boy, just a dirty pervert. Now get lost." Tea said.

Sensing it was wiser to come back later when Tea wouldn't be around, Jake walked away with a wink at Meyli that really didn't do her any good.

"Now, do you mind explaining everything to me, why are you afraid of him anyway?" Tea asked.

"Well, it doesn't have anything to do with him in particular."

"Then what is it?"

Meyli looked around, she really wanted to tell her just as bad as she wanted to tell her brother but she couldn't, she hadn't even been able to tell him the whole truth. "It's nothing really, I just don't like the guy."

Tea looked at her with a questioning look but didn't push the matter any further.

Kaiba sat in his office chair working endlessly on his computer, he was missing school once again, but seriously, why should he care. The man from the tape didn't show up at all in the last weeks, but Kaiba was sure the man was still around. He was thinking about everything he would like to do to the man when his secretary interrupted him.

"Mister Kaiba?" The secretary asked shyly.

"What is it?" Kaiba answered without even looking up from the computer.

"There is a man asking to see you."

"Did he have an appointment?" He asked while continuing his work.

"No, but-"

"Then you shouldn't even be annoying me with your question, show him the way outside."

"He also told me to tell you it was about your sister, even if I kept telling him you didn't have any sister he kept insisting on it." She said before turning around to leave.

This, however, got Kaiba's attention, no one knew he had a sister. "Send him in." He said, narrowing his eyes.

Surprised, the young woman nodded and went to get whoever this man was.

Kaiba saved his work and closed his eyes, leaning in his chair. He had a really bad feeling about this, he had a really good idea who this man that wanted to see him was, that was why he had a bad feeling.

Kaiba's intuition was proven right when the door of his office opened and the same guy from the tape entered.

"I expected you sooner than that, even if I'm quite surprised you found the guts to come face to face with me, unless it's just plain stupidity, you never were the intelligent one in the family."

"Seto, is that a way to greet your family members."

"I'm afraid we are no longer part of the same family since the day you dumped Mokuba and me in the orphanage." Kaiba said.

"Don't accuse me of things I never did, you chose to go to the orphanage on your own."

Kaiba smirked. "And look were it got me, I'm the richest man in all Japan while you can barely make out a living."

"So you have no reason to be mad against me."

"Oh but I have more than one. You only wanted to take me in because of my heritage, you also refused to take Mokuba in because of your sick obsession with my mother, because she died giving birth to him."

Kaiba smirked when he saw the eyes of his uncle widening. "How do…"

Kaiba smirked. "I have more resource than you could ever dream of. Refusing to go with you was by far the smartest decision I ever made, just look at what I have become, I gain more in one day than you could gain in 10 life. Now unless you really have a purpose of being here I'll ask security to 'escort' you outside."

"I'll make it simple Seto, Meyli's under my guard and I want her back."

"Can't find yourself a woman I see. Do you honestly think I would let you take her back for your own sick pleasure?" Kaiba asked.

"I don't remember giving you a choice." Kaiba's uncle said

Kaiba let out a small, cold laugh. "I'm the master of intimidation; do you really think your empty treat will make me obey you? If you think I'll let you ever lay your dirty hands on her again after what you did then you really are dumber that you look. Now, leave my office before I change my mind about letting you go."

"In that case, maybe this will make you see thing my way." Kaiba's uncle, handed him a single sheet of paper. (Let's just call him dirty old pervert for short, nah joke, let's call him Julian since I don't know any Japanese name.)

Narrowing his eyes, Kaiba took the paper and carefully looked at it. A mix of surprise, anger and fear took over his body for a fraction of second but he didn't let any of it show. "Let me guess, you keep that all those years just in case I ever get something that would interest you?"

"Does it really matter, the only thing you should be wondering is, do you really care that much for her?"

"You think you'll get me that easy?" Kaiba asked.

"Well I could point a gun to your little brother's head but I know from fact that's not the kind of thing that make you obey."

"Get out of here." Kaiba ordered.

"As you wish, but you know as well as I do that there's nothing you can do against what I have, I'll let you two weeks to think about it, then I'll come back to get my answer, or I'll take what I want that you want it or not." Julian said as he walked out of the office.

"We'll see about that."

Two hours later Kaiba arrived at the mansion, the little talk he had with his uncle was still fresh in his memory. His uncle was right, whatever he do, his uncle would get what he wanted or even better.

"Is something the matter?" A familiar voice asked as he entered the living room.

"No"

"How was your day big brother?" Mokuba asked.

"Quite…ordinary I guess."

"That would mean he fired at least 10 people today." Meyli said.

"I didn't fired anyone in the last 3 months for your information." Kaiba said.

"What about all those secretaries you had, if I counted right that's the 4th one you have since I came to leave here?"

"That's a different story." Kaiba said.

Later that night, while Kaiba was working, Meyli entered his office. "Can I talk with you?"

Kaiba barely looked up from his work. "Sure."

"I was wondering, how long I would stay here."

"What do you mean by here?"

"Well in the mansion, with you and Mokuba."

Kaiba stopped working and looked up at her. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Well, I don't really want to be living out of your money you know and…"

"You don't want to feel like you are taking advantage of my wealth."

"Well…yea, that's it."

"Well first of all you have no other choice than staying here and as far as I'm concern, you need my help. What exactly do you want to do in the future?"

Meyli thought about it. "Well, I never really thought about it, I guess I have no idea. All I know is I don't want to live with your money, I want to make a life for myself."

"And whatever you chose to do you'll need a place to stay and money to pay for your studies. Until you can properly take care of yourself you'll stay here, I certainly won't let you live on the street and going back to live with our uncle is out of the question." Kaiba said.

"So in other words, you are stuck with me for at least another 6 years."

"It sure seems to be the case." Kaiba said.

"Then I want to do something." Meyli said firmly.

"Do something?" Kaiba asked. "What do you mean?"

"I mean something to help you, you're giving me a place to stay, food and more than I need to make a decent living. I know how hard you are working and since I'll be living out of your money for the next few years I want to help you."

"And how, may I ask?" Kaiba asked. This was really intriguing him.

"Well…maybe I could help you with the company."

"Help me? I highly doubt you would be able to do such a thing."

"And why would that be? In case you forgot, I'm just as much a genius as you are." Meyli said, insulted.

"Do you think you would be able to run a company?" Kaiba asked with a smile.

"I don't mean running the company, are you sure you are as smart as they say you are. I happen to know that you are doing way more work than a CEO actually have to do. You can keep running the company I'm not interested, but I'm just as good as you are with programming and a lot of other things, I could help you. Things would go faster and you would have more time to yourself." Meyli said.

"And what makes you think I want more time for myself?" Kaiba asked as he resumed working, the truth was, he really needed someone to help him, he had tried hiring people more than once but what those employees were doing wasn't up to the standard he needed. Actually it wasn't worth anything and all they did were making the company lose money. But he wasn't sure if taking Meyli would be a good thing, she said she was as good as him with programming and such, but he never got to personally see anything she ever did.

"Well first of all, whatever you do don't really matter a lot in my life, I'm almost 17 and I can fully take care of myself, but I sure wouldn't mind having my brother around a little bit more. Actually I was mostly thinking about Mokuba, he really needs you a lot, you're away all day at school, then you go to Kaiba Corp. and when you come back before he have to go to bed you go working in your office. Mokuba really miss you a lot you know, all he does while we're playing is talking about you, wondering about how fun it would be to have you more around."

Kaiba stopped working and leaned back in his chair, he really wanted to be more with Mokuba, but each time he hired someone to help him everything was only half done, it wasn't worth anything and the company was loosing money really fast. Could she really help him? "Each time I hired someone to help me it ended up in a disaster, what tells me it will be any different with you?"

"You really don't trust in my ability do you?"

"Don't take it personal, but I fond it hard to trust in people's words sometimes."

"Then maybe you could try me out. Just give me something you want to do, give me a plan of what you want and I'll program it for you."

Kaiba thought about it for a second, what did he have to lose, but what could he ask her to do. Something came back to his mind. "Fine, I'll give you a chance." He opened one of his drawers and took out a few CDs. "This is a videogame we have been developing lately." (What? did you actually thought Kaiba could be that rich if he was only producing duel disk and no it has nothing to do with duel monster.) Meyli took the CDs and looked at them. "Unfortunately my employees are too dumb to finish the programming so I'm the one stuck with doing the job."

"So you want me to do it." Meyli said.

"You have everything you'll need to finish it, I want it done by tomorrow before dinner time."

"That's no problem." Meyli affirmed.

"I hope not, that's twice the time it would take me to finish it."

"Are you implying that you're twice as good as me by any chance?" Meyli faked pouting

"Maybe."

"Well if you're so good why haven't you done it already?"

"Because I have more important things waiting to be done, I never have time for it."

"Well I'll make you a bet, I'll start tomorrow after breakfast and I'll be over before lunchtime, we'll see if I'm as slow as you think I am. If I'm done you'll let me help you."

Kaiba looked up at her. "If you are gone I would even pay you for working for me."

"I don't want any money, I already have everything I want, I asked to help you because I don't wasn't to fell like I'm using you. If I get paid it won't change a thing. You should know that everyone do his good share of work in a family, let's just say this is mine."

"Fine."
