A/N: Oooh, chapter 15… COOL! Things between Satoya and Seto shall begin major progression in this chapter, so says my muse.
Ishigami: What the hell are you talking about! I haven't decided on anything yet!
Me: Yeah, and in your absence, I decided that Rina was gonna be my muse until you came to your senses and realized that I needed you.
Ishigami: You sold out to my sister! Rina!
Rina: What? I only want to see the story have a happy ending…
Ishigami: Just for that, it won't have one.
Me: My ass it won't! You tell him, reviewers! You tell him 'We'll get a happy ending or send our favorite anime characters or muses after your ass!' Yeah!
Ishigami: None of them would have the guts.
Me: Hear that guys? I'd take that as a challenge if I were you. Anyway, the problem with my muse set aside, I'd better get writing the chapter, huh?
Thanks:
kagome-princess: Aw, thanks! After re-reading with the chapter, I thought that it really sucked. . Well, I'm glad you liked it!

Mokuba quickly ran back into the dining room where Seto was still sitting in shock.
"By the way, the high school is out today due to loss of power and you have no meetings. Today would probably be best." He said before running back out to the car.
Seto sat there, stuck in a shocked silence that only his brother could induce. To have his brother tell him to ask a boy out was one thing. To have his brother know that he'd been dreaming about doing it was another. He knew he should've asked the doctor if those sleeping pills would allow sleep-talking or not!
"Satoya? Are you OK? You seem to be a bit out of it today…" Ryou looked at Satoya worriedly. "Bakura and Marik didn't bug you about Kaiba, did they?"
"No, no. I just… didn't sleep that well… That's all." Satoya managed a small smile and that seemed to satisfy Ryou's curiosity.
Everyone had met at the mall and they were all trying to decide on what to do. Yami wanted to go to the arcade, Otogi was dead set on going to see if his Dice Monsters game was being sold here yet, Anzu and Yugi wanted to go and see some PG movie, Ryou wanted to see a love movie, which made Bakura and Marik gag. Jou wanted to get something to eat as did Honda. Mai, Isis, and Shizuka wanted to go and buy new dresses as Leana wanted to buy Satoya some new leather. Bakura and Marik were not included in the discussion of what to do because last time, according to Ryou, they wanted to go to a S&M store. After a little bit longer of the bickering, there was a voice from behind.
"Why don't any of you ask what Satoya wants to do?" Everyone turned.
"Kaiba-san!"
"Kaiba."
"Bastard."
"What the hell are you doing here?" Were some of the remarks that filled the air.
"Leana. So this is what you do on your days off." Seto said rather casually for him.
"Ah… Yes…" the girl looked sheepish at being caught hanging out with her boss' main competition.
"Why are you looking sheepish? As long as you aren't taking my time to do this, I could care less." Seto said, looking around at the rest of the group. He was wearing casual clothes, as Satoya noted. Instead of his normal attire, he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. He wasn't even wearing one of his trenchcoats! That surprised everyone.
"So, what are you doing here, Kaiba?" Ryou asked.
"Is it illegal for me to go to the mall now?"
"Well, no…" Ryou looked down. Seto looked at Satoya.
"What do you want to do?" he asked Satoya, ignoring the stares from the others.
"Well… I sorta wanted to go into a book store or a music store…" Satoya responded softly.
"Well, why didn't you say so! Marik and I will take you!" Bakura spoke up.
"I'll take him. I was headed there anyway." Seto said, starting to walk. Satoya hesitated and followed, narrowly missing Bakura and Marik's grabs for his arm.
"Bakura! Marik! Stop that!" Ryou called out when the two started to follow Satoya.
"What? But-But we can't leave him with Kaiba!" the two protested.
"They do have a point…" Anzu said. "He is heartless."
"Hey! What have I told you all about talking bad about my boss when I'm with you!" Leana glared.
"Look, later, we'll track them down. Right now, let's just leave them alone." Ryou suggested.
"All right…"
"Did they give you any money?"
"Yes. Ryou-kun made sure that I got some." Satoya answered Seto.
"Good. Go ahead and choose what you want."
Satoya nodded and wandered off into the aisles of books. Seto watched for awhile before turning to a shelf of books and searching through them, trying to find one for Mokuba. When he finally found one, he looked up to see Satoya reading at one of the tables. Seto walked up to him.
"Find one you like?"
"Yup!
Ryou-kun told me about it. He said that everyone's reading them
now."
"What is it?"
"It's called Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's really good so far."
"That's nice. Satoya…"
"Yes?" Satoya looked up from his book again.
"Ah… Would you like to… Would you like to go to a music store now?" Seto mentally kicked himself. He hadn't tracked Yugi and his friends down to take Satoya to a book and music store!
"Really? Cool! Yeah, I'd like to!" Satoya jumped up and ran to the checkout counter, Seto following a little slower. After they made it out of there and into the music store, Satoya quickly disappeared into the store, looking for something or another. Seto walked slowly through the aisles, thinking.
'Am I really up to this? I've never asked out a girl, let alone a boy!' he thought to himself. Then there was that annoying inner voice that everyone has.
'Of course you're up to it! If not, I'll have a hand in the matter!' it cackled.
'Stop talking to me. You're making me seem insane.' Seto thought back to it.
'Then hurry up and get it over with. If you don't, you'll never get the chance again!' the inner voice said before evaporating from Seto's mind.
'All right, I can do this.'
He had found Satoya in a rock music section. Satoya hadn't noticed that he was standing there just yet and Seto took the time to watch and see what Satoya picked out. When Satoya straightened and looked back, he smiled gently at seeing Seto there. Seto attempted to return the smile.
"Is something wrong, Kaiba-san?"
"Eh… I was just wondering if maybe… You'd liketogoonadatewithme?" Seto blurt out quickly. Satoya looked confused.
"Huh?"
"Ok, let's try this again. Satoya, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Really! A real date! I'd love to!" Satoya jumped up and down happily.
A/N: I really hope you all enjoy that. It was a little longer than my others and… Seto and Satoya are going on a date! Doesn't that make everyone happy! It makes me happy! R&R!
