Chapter 3:

I'm sitting on the built-in bench in front of my window. My sketchbook has found it's way back to my lap. Angels are one of the things I love to draw. I find them interesting because they can have so many different looks. Wings, or no wings; halo, or no halo.

It's been a week. Seto isn't as distant as he was right after the kiss, but he wasn't any closer either. I guess I could say things are back to normal. The way things were when I first arrived in Domino.

I glance up from my angels and I'm immediately hypnotized by the sky. My eyes scan over the star splattered sky. Tiny bright white dots littered the midnight blue field above.

There's a single soft knock at the door before it opens slowly. I don't even have to look to know it's Seto. It's late; almost midnight and Mokuba's already in bed. I tear my eyes away from the light speckled, shadow blanket. I smile at him as he walked over towards me. "Is everything okay?" I ask him.

"I'm fine." He glances down at my sketchbook before continuing. "Landen is holding a formal party to celebrate. He over-passed his profit intake by over five thousand dollars. Since I've been sponsoring him, I've been invited as his guest of honor. You and Mokuba are coming with me. Hope you have a nice dress. If not you better find one. The party is in two days." Then he turned and left the room. I blinked and then grinned. I set my sketchbook down and opened my walk in closet. It's pretty big but not exactly full. I walked in to the furthest end and pulled a dress of the rack. I'm not a formal person but when I do have to wear a dress, this is my favorite one. It's a long flowing red dress that wraps around my shoulders instead of over them. It's very comfortable. Down underneath where it hangs are the sparkling, matching red shoes. I guess I'm all set for the party then.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, I'm eating breakfast with the boys. All is quiet. I'm half wondering if Seto waited to tell me about the party or if he forgot or he didn't even know until just a short while ago. Oh well, I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Mokuba is quietly eating his French toast, and Seto is sipping at his coffee-having already finished his hashbrowns, bacon and eggs-while reading the newspaper. It's a peaceful morning. All is quiet but there's no tension in the air. I continue eating my own French toast with a small smile on my lips and a twinkle in my eye. Mokuba have the same taste in food. It's amazing how we always seem to want the same thing at the same time. I hear the rustling of paper as Seto turns the page. "Jade," he says.

I swallow my food. "Yes?"

"Do you have something to wear tomorrow or do you need to go out and buy something today?"

"No, I have something." He doesn't reply, just keeps on reading the words that he never even looked away from while speaking. I look ahead at Mokuba, who's looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

"Really? I thought you weren't a formal person. I never really expected you to have a dress or something to wear to an event like this one."

I smile. "Just because I'm not a formal person doesn't mean I don't have formal clothing just in case I need it."

"Oh."

In mid-afternoon –which to me is about three, I get changed into some real clothes. As I'm heading up to Seto's computer room, I run into Mokuba at the top of the stairs. "Hey there, smallish dude."

"What's up?"

"I'm going out to the toy store. You want to come with me?"

He shrugs. "Sure." I nod my head and continue to the next staircase that takes me up to the next floor. I knock on the door and wait for a reply.

"Come in."

I poke my head through the door and see Seto in his usual space in front the computer, in his large comfy chair. "Hey Seto. I'm heading out to get some more parts for my models. Mokuba's coming with me. We shouldn't be more than an hour. Maybe two if we decide to go anywhere else."

"Alright. Take your cell phone in case I need to get a hold of you."

I raise my eyebrow. "What would you need to get a hold of me for?"

"Just take it."

"Alright. See you later." I close the door and jump when I see Mokuba standing behind me. That boy walks with the feet of a ghost.

"You ready to go?" I nod and we make our way out to the limo. I don't always take the limo when I go somewhere. I have my own car, but today I'm just feeling too lazy, plus Mokuba would rather take the limo than risk driving with me. "So why are you going to the toy store?"

"I need some more parts for my models."

"What models?"

I look at him for a moment. "Oh right, I haven't shown you yet. I'll show you when we get home. Right now, I'm wondering where the best place to get a remote control plane would be."

"Yugi's granddad has a game shop. We could try there first."

"Okay. Let's do that then."

"Driver. Take us to the game shop."

I get out of the limo and rest my eyes upon the small shop. I don't think they'll have a remote control airplane in such a small space but I'll check it out anyway. They might have something else I can use. Mokuba takes the lead and enters the shop. I follow.

An aged man stands behind the counter. I'm assuming this is Yugi's grandfather. Yugi is standing near the end with a small group of people; a blonde boy, a brunette girl, and another boy with brown hair that comes to a point at the front. All eyes, turn to Mokuba and myself. When the blonde saw Mokuba he grumbled. "Oh great. I bet rich boy is coming to throw something in our faces again." I look questioningly at Mokuba.

"He's talking about Seto. That's Joey Wheeler. He doesn't get along with Seto very well."

"Well, nobody does," Joey says.

The brown-haired boy looks at me and frowns. "Who are you? One of his minions coming to sue us or something?"

"That's Tristan Taylor," Mokuba tells me.

I blink at them. "No."

"Oh." Tristan says.

I smile. This must be the people Seto refers to as the 'Dweeb Convention' and the 'Geek Squad'.

The girl speaks. "Well you know who everyone else is so I might as well be included. I'm Tea Gardner."

I smile at her. "Hi. Uh, I'm Jade Dervinson."

"She's a family friend." Mokuba says.

"Oh? Another rich brat?" Joey asks.

"Joey," Tea says in a scolding voice.

I smile again. I tilt my head to get a better view of Yugi and wave my hand. "Hey Yugi. How's it going?"

"Not bad. Yourself?"

"Same."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Joey waves both hands and shakes his head. "Yugi, you know her?"

"Well, we've met before. She was with Kaiba when we met."

Tristan eyes me suspiciously. "She anything like Kaiba?" He talks about me as if I'm not even here. I'm not too bothered by it though. He has reason to be suspicious. After all, I know Seto Kaiba and he's not the friendliest person in the world.

"She's nothing like Kaiba." Yugi shakes his head. Yugi's friends look to Mokuba for confirmation. He nods.

"Well, then…Hi…I guess," Joey says with a wave of his hand. I grin. They don't seem so bad. What's Seto been talking about?

"So what brings you here?" Yugi asks. His grandfather stands smiling, watching us.

"I'm just looking around for stuff to build my models with."

"You build models? Of what?"

"Well, so far I've only built one. I need some more parts. They're Duel Monsters. So far I only have a Blue-Eyes. I still need Red-Eyes and Dark Magician before I move onto anything else."

"Red-Eyes and Dark Magician huh? Those three are your favorite monsters I take it."

"Well actually, I'm like you. Dark Magician is my favorite, but the dragons come close. I made the Blue-Eyes first just to see if I could."

"Cool."

"Would you make me a model of Flamed Swordsman?" Joey asks like a kid asking for a Christmas present.

"Joey, what's your problem?" Tea asks.

"Whaddaya mean?"

"First you're mean to her now your asking her to make you stuff? You're nuts!"

I laugh. "It's alright Tea. I'd be mean to me too if I didn't know anything about me except that I knew Seto. He's not someone who seems like he has friends. And I won't make any promises but I'll try the Flamed Swordsman after I get the others done. I don't mind. It's something to do with my time."

"Alright!" Joey punches the air. I'm skimming over the shelves for stuff to use as I speak.

"Is there anything specific you're looking for?" I look at Yugi's grandfather and smile.

"Not really. I'm just looking for anything to take apart. Although this paint set would do good. I'm running out." I say as I pull a quick-dry paint set off a shelf. It looks a bit better than mine. A few more colors too. I take the paints to the counter to pay for them. "I think that's all for now. Mokuba and I have other places to go and I told Seto we shouldn't be more than an hour."

Mokuba looked at the clock on the wall. "We've already been thirty minutes."

"I know." I pay for the merchandise and head towards the door and wave. "I'll see you around, I guess. Nice meeting you all. Bye"

They bid me a good day and Mokuba and I left. We go to another toy store at the mall and I find all sorts of things I could use. Motorized planes, cars and all sorts of things. I buy three of everything that I purchase. Model making here I come!

On the drive home, we're already almost a half an hour late. My cell phone rings. I check the caller display. It's Seto, of course. "Hello?" I answer.

"Where are you two? You're late. You said you'd be an hour." He sounds annoyed.

"I also said I might be two hours."

"You should have called if you were going to be late."

"Alright, I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes at Mokuba who fought back some laughter. The phone is on loud speaker so I'm assuming he can hear a bit of what Seto is saying.

"Don't let it happen again. Where are you?"

"Where are you?" I smile at Mokuba. I think we should have a little fun. It's time to play 'how long before he yells at me'.

"Don't mock me-"

"I wasn't. You wanted to know where I am and I want to know where you are first."

"…I'm at home."

"Where's that?"

"What? Home, it's home. I'm in my home office."

"I thought you'd be at the other office."

"No, I'm working from home today. Where are you and Mokuba?"

"Mokuba?"

"…My brother."

"Oh yeah, that guy. I don't know. I thought he was with you."

"You said you were taking him with you."

"Taking who with me?"

"Mokuba!"

"Oh right. Did you want to talk to him?" I hand the phone to Mokuba, who's struggling to keep in the laughter. I reach over before he starts speaking and turn the volume up even more so I can be sure to hear.

"Seto?"

"Mokuba," he says tiredly. "Where are you?"

"Why do-hey I didn't know there was cactus in Domino!"

"WHAT! JADE WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN HIM!" I flop down on the seat clutching my sides, trying not to let him hear me laughing. Mokuba covers the bottom of the phone and fights himself before replying.

"Why are you yelling? And who's Jade?"

"…Mokuba…what's going on? Why are you acting so weird? You know who Jade is. You're with her. I was just talking to her."

"Why didn't you just say you want to talk to her?" He hands the phone to me and gives in to the laughter. I let out a small giggle while I'm trying to talk.

"Hello?"

"Jade wh-"

"Who's this?"

"IT'S SETO! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!"

"Oh, Seto. Hi. What's up? How are you?"

"JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!"

"…we're in the driveway." By now, we had arrived home. Mokuba and I got out of the limo and stood side-by-side. There was silence on the line and suddenly Seto burst through the front door, phone in hand next to his ear, looking more pissed than I'd ever seen him ever before. That was the breaking point for Mokuba and me. We dropped to our knees, engulfed in hysterics. Seto's towering figure glared down at us, making us laugh even harder. He looked at the phone in his hand and turned it off. He watched us laugh then shook his head and went back inside.

After finally regaining control Mokuba and I stood and grinned at each other. "That was fun. We should do stuff like that more often."

"We should. Maybe we can even get Yugi and his friends in on it."

Mokuba smiled at me, and with that, we picked up the merchandise and went inside to spend the evening plotting. And so begins Seto's life in hell.
