Sorry for the long update but my comp is in a room where the temperature rise to 35 durint the day so it's totaly unbearable until late in the evening so I have some problem writin.

Now to answer the review: I'm dissapointed about how much of you take the time to review now that there is a hit counter. just to let those who never review know: it takes 30 second for you to review and I take 6 hours to write a chapter, I really don't feel like spendign that time on the comp writing if you don't even want to spend 30 second of you day to just say you love the story...that's the other reason it was a longer update, I got pissed off. Thaks to everyone who review and no thanks to the one who didn't, it's funny I get more review when I take a long time to update, I should do that more often.

Anime freakslayer: Like I said, I love being evil and I love you telling me I an evil

Kariah: just a little hello to you.

Lady blade: nuclear laser...nice but I don't think you'll see one in the story, but a normal gun...probably.

All those who asked about the paper: That will be in chapter 21.

Chapter 20 : Playing Kaiba.

Meyli sat silently in front of the computer, she was in no hurry, in fact she had done more than she was supposed to, but she was quite pleased about it. She had been helping Kaiba for the past two weeks. Actually she wasn't doing much, mostly programming and taking care of virus but it was a lot less on Kaiba's shoulder so he could concentrate fully on his CEO responsibilities.

Actually, during the first week Kaiba kept a close eye on her, not really trusting her that much but after a while he had to admit she could take care of herself. In fact, now that she was doing all his over work he had a lot more time to spend with Mokuba. After school he would go to Kaiba Corp with Meyli and they would work until about 5, then they would go home with Mokuba and finish whatever work they still had after Mokuba was sleeping, Meaning Kaiba could actually sleep a more that decent night, and it was showing on the young CEO's temper. However, two weeks after Meyli started helping him, things were different.

"Are you ready to go?"

Meyli looked up from what she was doing, of course she was ready, she was only waiting for her brother to get out of whatever meeting he had to get home. "Let's go." Meyli said, getting up and walking toward the elevator.

While they were getting to the first floor she noticed Kaiba was laying against the wall, something quite unusual from the young CEO. "Are you ok?"

Kaiba seemed surprise for a fraction of second, as if he had totally shut himself off of the outside world. "What?"

"I asked if you were ok, it's not like you to space out like that and take support from a wall." Meyli said.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." Kaiba said.

As soon as they stepped inside the house they were greeted by the little Kaiba, who didn't give them one chance to escape before jumping in his little brother's arms. Strangely enough, Kaiba took a few step backward because of the impact. "Are you ok big brother?" Mokuba asked, noticing that.

Kaiba gave him the same answer he gave Meyli. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Maybe you should go to sleep earlier tonight, you really look tired." Meyli said.

"Would you drop it already? I said I'm fine." Kaiba said, not about to admit that he wasn't feeling that well.

Both Meyli and Mokuba sighed, it was no use trying to argue with him, after all Kaiba had every right to be a little tired.

8888

The next morning, however, Kaiba wasn't feeling as 'good' as he was supposedly feeling the day before. He barely reacted when his alarm clock began to ring, he had barely been able to sleep at all during the night. When he finally had enough of the annoying beeping he slowly opened his eyes, his vision was blurry and he was shaking as if he was cold, the weird thing was the he was soaked with sweat. He knew he was sick but he had learned fast when he was young to hid away his sickness. To his stepfather, only week people got ill so when he was sick Gozaburo wasn't going any easier on him, actually the beating and the studying was way worst so it became a second nature to him to never show anyone he was sick.

So, acting as if he was totally healthy, even if Gozaburo was long dead, Kaiba got out of bed and prepared himself for work. Today was a Saturday, he didn't have to go to school but Saturdays were always really busy for him: full of meeting and stupid paperwork that he couldn't do during the week because of school. Now that Meyli was helping him, his Sunday weren't less busy, however he always had his Sunday off. Before Meyli started to help he had to work all day Sunday also.

"Good morning!" Mokuba greeted his big brother as soon as he entered the kitchen.

"Good morning kid" Kaiba said, sitting at the table. He wasn,t feeling really hungry, actually the plate in front of him was making his sick.

"Are you alright?" Mokuba was worried about his brother, he didn't looked well.

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Kaiba tried to hide his illness, it had always worked with Mokuba, the kid wouldn't do anything that could upset his brother.

"Because you don't look fine to me." Meyli said. "I heard you coughing all night long, you probably didn't sleep much."

"Oh really, and what about you." Kaiba said. "You happen to be well informed about what I did last night, weren't you supposed to sleep to?" Kaiba tried to look arrogant but he started coughing again.

Sensing this as an opportunity to return the conversation to it's original subject and off why she wasn't asleep, Meyli put her hand on Kaiba's forehead before he could even saw she was there. When he felt her hand on his forehead Kaiba jerked his head back, missing the coldness of her hand instantly. "My god, you're burning hot."

"Would you drop it already, I said I was fine." Another coughing fit interrupted him.

"And I say you are sick so get your but back up there and get some rest." Meyli said.

"For the last time I'm not sick and I can't afford to stay at home today anyway." Kaiba stood up but before he could even take three steps he started feeling dizzy, he laid against the wall for support and put his head in his hand, his head was killing him.

"See, you can't even stand up." Meyli said.

"I said I was fine, stop bugging me," Kaiba walked up the stairs and went to his room.

As Kaiba was getting ready for work he saw himself in the mirror, he had to admit he wasn't looking so well, and he was feeling horrible also, more than he felt in years. But he couldn't stay home today, he had really important meetings today with some of the most powerful CEO of Japan, he couldn't miss that.

"You really look awful."

Kaiba turned around when he heard the small voice piping up behind him. "Mokuba, I'm fine, don't worry."

"No you're not fine, you're sick big brother. You really need to stay home and rest, please." Mokuba did his best puppy dog eyes.

"I can't afford it, you shouldn't worry like that. I won't die you know." Kaiba turned around to leave but he suddenly felt extremely dizzy and confused, he laid against the wall for support but his legs gave in and he felt to the floor.

"Big brother! Are you alright?" Mokuba kneeled next to his brother.

Kaiba looked up at his little brother's worried face, he didn't had the energy to answer him or even trying to et up, he just wanted to stay there but he knew he couldn't so he tried to get up again.

"Mokuba? What's wrong?" Meyli said, coming into the bedroom, she had been alerted by Mokuba's half shout to his brother. When she saw Kaiba she understood everything. "What in the world do you think you're doing?" She saw, lightly putting pressure on her brother's shoulder to prevent him from getting up.

"I'm fine." Kaiba trying to look though but it didn't work out.

"Stop that Seto, you're sick and you need to rest. I don't care what you say or what you have to do today. You're not getting anywhere." Meyli said.

"I can't stay home today, I have way to much work to do." Kaiba forced himself to get up no matter how much Meyli was trying to keep him on the ground but he could barely stand.

Meyli sighed. "I'll take care of it. You can't go work like that even if you want to, I don't care if you are the older one, if you are the one feeding me, if this is your house, your company and that those stupid old bats want to see you. You are sick and need to rest." She led him to his bed, she was surprised when Kaiba didn't tried to get away but she guessed he was just too tired.

"You can't take care of all my work, you don't even know what to do." Kaiba slowly got into bed, as much as he hated to admit it he couldn't go work today, he couldn't even stand up or think straight. He sighed and felt all his body relax as soon as he touched the pillow.

"Don't worry big brother." Mokuba said. "We'll be fine, just rest and you'll be better in no time."

Kaiba smiled weakly. "Then I know just how much you two messed up." He felt asleep in no time but just before he drifted off he had this strange feeling that he had something really important today that he was forgetting about.

"So, what are we going to do?" Mokuba asked.

"Well first of all, you'll stay here to take care of Seto, we can't leave him alone. I'll go to Kaiba Corp and take care of all these meeting he have."

"But do you even know how to run a company?" Mokuba was sceptical.

"Actually, no. But it's either that or we wake him up and make him go to work." Meyli said.

"Well why don't you take care of him and I'll go to Kaiba corp." Mokuba asked.

"Do you know how to run a company?" Meyli teased him.

"……….nope." Mokuba smiled childishly.

"Then it's settle, just call a doctor to make sure whatever Seto have is nothing that bad." Meyli said before leaving.

Meyli took one deep breath, this was it, she as about to be stuck one entire hour in a room full of old man who probably had really dirty mind. When she opened the door she was greeted by 5 set of eyes, she already felt like running away, couldn't her stupid brother chose another day to be sick, but now wasn't the time to turn away. Something popped in her mind, if she had to do her brother's job then she might at well act like him, it couldn't really make matters worst, after all she was his sister, so she hid away all emotion and walked to the empty seat that should have been occupied by her brother.

"Alright, lets start this so we can all get this over with." She said.

"Excuse me girl but we came here to see Seto Kaiba, not some girl who want to play with the big guys." One of them said.

"Well in that case you can leave and stop wasting our time, Seto Kaiba won't come today, he's really sorry but something unexpected came up, now you have the choice, make the deal with me or get lost." Meyli loved ordering them around, now she understood why Kaiba loved being the CEO.

"I demand to know who I am speaking with." Another one said.

"The name is miss Norisaka and nothing else and before you ask or try to take advantage of the situation then let me tell you that I'm well aware of every little detail you discussed with Mr Kaiba before coming here to make the deal and I'm not some little girl, I'm Kaiba's personal assistant." All of them looked taken aback, just like she expected, it was well know amongst the other CEO that Kaiba didn't believe anyone was good enough to be his assistant, but they had heard rumour that he had one now…and that he kept that one for more than 2 hours.

"What the hell is that?" Meyli was looking at the proposition on the contract before signing it, well before imitating her brother's signature on it.

"It's all the matter we discussed before with Mr Kaiba." The man was sweating a little, a small detail that Meyli saw, to tell the truth she had absolutely no idea what those guys discussed with her brother but that one made no sense, Kaiba wasn't making anything out of that deal, actually it was coming out losing.

"What kind of joke is this?" She asked the other CEO. "Did you actually believe that I wasn't going to read it before signing it? Or that I wouldn't see the trap in it because I'm a girl? Well in that case you can get your fat ass out of here and stop loosing my time with those nonsense." Meyli turned around and walked for the door.

"Wait, I'm sure we can agree on something."

"Well unless you can provide me with a better proposition I can have you escorted outside by security, think about the scandal." Meyli smirked, she was looking way too much like Kaiba for her own good. The old man quickly too a piece of paper and wrote something on it before giving it to her. "After that trick you tried I don't know if I feel like dealing with you anymore." Meyli knew from fact that the other company needed the deal more than Kaiba Corp did.

"Alright." He wrote something else. "How does that sound?"

Meyli glanced at the paper. "Now we're talking the same language."

8888

"So, how are thing?" Mokuba asked over the phone.

Meyli was currently laying in the chair with not a care in the world. "Better than I thought they would, it was a lot of fun showing those old bats who's boss."

"Be careful or you'll stay like Seto forever." Mokuba joked.

"Not a chance, It's fun for a while but I couldn't stand doing that all days. Now that you bring him up, how is Seto?"

"Sleeping, the doctor said he got sick from lack of sleep."

"That's weird, he had a lot of time to sleep those two last week, why would he be missing sleep." Meyli wondered.

"Well I don't know but he's fine, I bet you have work to do so I'll leave you alone now, bye." He said before hanging up.

Meyli sighed and turned back to the work, nothing she couldn't handle. She started to work but was interrupted by a knock on the door. That is if no one disturb me. "What is it?"

Kaiba's secretary opened the door, she knew Meyli had taken Kaiba's place for the day so she acted as if everything was normal. "Excuse me miss but there is a guy here that came about two weeks ago, he had a talk with Mr Kaiba. He came back and ask to speak with Mr Kaiba, do you wish to speak to him instead?"

Meyli looked all around herself, she didn't had that much work since the meeting ended earlier so she had more than enough time to see whoever that man was. "Send him in." Meyli returned to her work as the secretary left.

About a minute later she heard the door open, whoever it was didn't had a lot of manner to enter like that without knocking. She looked up from the computer but as soon as her eyes landed on the person in front of her, her breath stuck in her throat. "W-what are you doing here?" She slowly stood up, painful memories she tried to forget came to her mind as she wanted nothing more than to escape from the office but he was in front of the door.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see your uncle?" Julian had been surprised to actually see Meyli there but he was hiding it really well, actually that was going to be even better than what he expected.

Oh the cliffy here, what's going to happen next….I'm the only one who knows lolll, well actually no, not loll, there isn't anything funny about this situation.
