A/N: Back with another chapter! Sorry it took so long, still working on my poems and other story, Amunet's Vengeance, which will be out soon! Anyway, enjoy!
"Hey Seto look! There's Mina!" Mokuba shouted, pointing through the glass window.
"Huh." Kaiba grunted, busily typing on his laptop.
Mokuba's face fell. "She doesn't look very happy…"
This caught Kaiba's attention. He turned away from his work to look out the window.
What's she so sad about? Kaiba thought.
"I wonder what's she's so sad about…" Mokuba mumbled. "I'm gonna go check it out!" he shouted, running out the door.
Kaiba took one more look at Mina before returning to his work.
He looked up from his computer and his eyes landed on the smiley face paperweight given to him the first time he and Mina met.
She breaks my window and then gives me a paperweight, he chuckled. Come to think of it, she never did pay me back for that window…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where is she? She was just here a minute ago! Mokuba was running all over Domino City, looking for Mina.
"Ay look! Ain't dat Seto Kaiba's lil' brother?"
"Huh?" Mokuba turned around to see a couple of thugs in a dark alley to his left.
"Hey put me down!!!" he shouted. One of the thugs was holding him by the shirt as Mokuba began kicking and screaming.
"How 'bout givin' us some cash? Ya big brother is loaded wit it. You must have some on ya too."
"Let go!"
"I think this kid needs a lil' more convincin'." The one holding him said.
The other one cracked his knuckles and grinned.
"Stop right there!"
Everybody looked up to see a pretty blonde in a sailor suit on top of a building.
"I am the scout of love and beauty, Sailor Venus! And in the name of Venus, I'll punish you!"
Mina? Mokuba thought.
Sailor Venus gave him a wink before turning to the thugs. "I suggest you leave now before I get really angry."
It was a moment before they began to laugh hysterically.
"Whoa man," one of them said, "we better leave quick before Blondie here hurts us in her cut lil' miniskirt!"
"I think we can have a lil' fun wit this one."
That's it…
As the thugs continued to laugh Sailor Venus called out, "Venus Love Chain Encircle!" a heart-linked rope shot out of her hands and surrounded the two delinquents, tying them up.
"Hey! What the…?"
"Pretty fun, huh?" Venus smirked. She turned to Mokuba. "You okay…uh, person I've never met before?"
Mokuba stood up, brushing himself off. He nodded. "I think so. Thanks…Sailor Venus."
But she was already walking away. This is Serena's gig…she huffed. Never again…
"Hey! Venus…wait!" Mokuba hurriedly tried to catch up with her. "I was just looking for you. Why'd ya run off like that?"
"I don't want to talk right now Mokuba," she sighed.
"Is something wrong?"
Mina stopped in her tracks. "What is with everybody asking that!? I'm fine, okay?"
Mokuba froze. His face crumbled.
"I'm sorry Mokuba I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I guess I've just been really stressed out lately…you know, exams and all?"
"I bet Seto can help! C'mon let's go!" Mokuba grabbed Mina by the arm and began to pull her towards KaibaCorp.
I guess I could use a bit of sunshine in my life…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Artemis," Luna began. They were walking through the streets of Domino City, having nothing to do, when Luna brought Mina up.
"Yeah Luna?"
"Haven't you noticed Mina lately? She's been acting quite strange…"
"You're overreacting Luna, you know how girls are."
"Well, I suppose I would Artemis, considering I am one. What do you think is wrong?"
"Luna, I'm sure if something was bothering Mina, she'd tell us. Seeing as she hasn't said anything…I'm assuming nothing's wrong."
"You know what assuming does Artemis. It makes an…"
"Luna!"
"What? You can't expect me to be Miss Goody Goody forever."
Artemis chuckled. "No, but I can dream."
Luna playfully scratched him. "Oh quiet you."
"Now let's go, I could go for some tuna."
"Silly cat all you can think about is food. You're just like Serena."
"At least I don't have meatballs on my head!"
"True."
The two lovebirds set off for the aquarium, in hopes of snagging a fish or two, while at the same time Sailor Venus had just rescued young Mokuba, and was now headed toward KaibaCorp.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mokuba, your brother's probably really busy…and I'm sure the last thing he wants to see right now is me."
He turned to his blonde friend as he stopped. "I thought you liked Seto."
"I do!" she exclaimed. "I mean…I do, it's just that I don't want to bother him. And to be honest…I don't think he likes me very much…"
"Are you kidding? Seto's crazy about you! He just doesn't show it."
This perked Mina up a bit. "Really?"
"Yeah, now let's go!" They had just walked through the doors of KaibaCorp when Mina had just realized something.
"Oh wait!" she cried, quickly running into the bathroom. After a few moments she came out as her regular self, wearing a black and white checkered dress with a black top hat.
"Ya think anybody saw that?" she asked Mokuba.
Mokuba shook his head, still a little shocked. "N-no, everyone's on their lunch break." They began walking to Kaiba's office.
"Including your brother?"
"No, Seto doesn't take breaks."
Of course. Mina though dryly. As they were walking along the long corridor, Mina began to take in her surroundings. There wasn't too much to look at. The floor was carpeted a dark gray while the walls were a different shade of gray.
This place could use a bit of color…
"I tell Seto that we should add a little more color to this place, but he says dull and gray is business. Well…here we are." Both Mina and Mokuba stopped at the double doors in front of them, the entrance to Seto Kaiba's office.
"Um…" Mokuba began. He just remembered that Kaiba was working on important business matters and that he shouldn't be disturbed.
"Well? Aren't ya gonna go in?"
"You go first."
"What? Me? No you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seto Kaiba paused for a moment, as his ears pricked up. He had heard something outside.
He sighed, closed his laptop, and went to check what was going on.
Kaiba opened the door to find his little brother and Mina in a heated argument, something about who would go in first.
"Seto!"
"Sunshine…hi!"
Kaiba first addressed his younger brother. "Didn't I tell you I was busy today?"
"Actually…" Mina interrupted, defending Mokuba, "it was my idea to come here. I just wanted to hang out, y' know?"
"Not really."
"I know!" Mokuba shouted, "Let's go to KaibaLand!"
"You're kidding right?"
"Oh it'll be fun sunshine, you'll see!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eek! Seto! Over here!"
Seto, Mokuba, and Mina had just escaped a mom of squealing girls, and were out of breath.
"Wow sunshine…" Mina breathed, "didn't know…you had so many fans!"
"I told you this was a bad idea," he muttered. They were hiding behind one of the main technical buildings of KaibaLand, where no one could see them.
"Does this mean we have to leave?" Mokuba asked, his eyes wide.
Mina shook her head. "You guys wait here, I'll be right back." And she ran off, leaving Mokuba and Kaiba baffled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hurry up guys!" Mina groaned, pounding on the men's bathroom door.
"Just one minute." Mokuba replied. Slowly, the door began to widen, and out stepped a small boy with short blonde hair and big blue eyes.
"Well?" he asked. "Do you think they'll recognize me?"
She giggled and said, "Not a chance kiddo." And ruffled his 'hair', causing it to go lopsided.
"Now it's your turn sunshine."
"No way, I look like an idiot."
"Aww c'mon big bro, we won't make fun, right Mina?"
"That's right." She agreed.
They heard a sigh and then Seto Kaiba stepped out of the bathroom.
Mokuba and Mina quickly covered their mouths, holding back their giggles. But the sight of Kaiba…they couldn't help it, their laughs broke out into a mass of hysteria.
"I told you I'd look stupid." He growled. Covering his normally sleek chocolate brown hair was a huge afro, and because the sun was shining so brightly, it was much frizzier than it should have been.
"Oh no, no, no," Mina giggled, leaning against him, "Actually, you look kinda…hot!" And at that Mina and Mokuba began to laugh again.
"I'm out of here."
"Wait!" Mina cried, grabbing his arm. "Have you ever really taken a good tour of KaibaLand? I mean, really, really?"
"I designed it you dolt."
"But have you ever been on one of the rides?"
"You're not saying…"
"Let's go!" Mokuba shouted, pulling them toward White Lightning Express, a roller coaster ride inspired by Seto's favorite card, Blue Eyes White Dragon.
And as they were walking Mokuba looked up at both Mina and Kaiba, and then he slid his hand in each of theirs.
He must really miss his mother… Mina thought sadly.
Kaiba, on the other hand, was trying to ignore everyone around him, but more importantly, what they were saying.
"Aww! Aren't they just the cutest family?!"
"Yeah. Weird hair though…"
Seto sighed once more. He's been doing that a lot these days…
"Ok." Mokuba said, letting go of their hands, "I'll go get the tickets, you guys save us a spot in line!"
"Well, that line doesn't look that long…" Mina mused.
"I beg to differ," Kaiba responded, pointing to the other line, which had over 200 people in it.
"Oh…this could take a while."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokuba had come back with the tickets, and for the next two to four hours, Mina and Kaiba were dueling to pass the time.
But after what seemed like their seventh duel, Mina had dozed off, and she leaned back against Kaiba without even realizing it.
She could faintly hear voices, although she couldn't tell if it was a dream or real.
"She's pretty cute when she's sleeping isn't she?"
A chuckle. Then, "As cute as a Kuriboh."
"You know you like her Seto. So why don't you just tell her, or ask her out?"
"You know exactly why Mokuba. I don't have time for love. I've got too much work to do…"
"Wait, you said love!"
A pause. "Uh…"
"You love her don't you?"
"Shh! Before she wakes up!"
"I don't believe this…"
"You tell anyone Mokuba and you'll regret it. And I normally don't make threats to my little brother."
"Don't worry Seto. Your secret's safe with me."
Then it went black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wake up Mina." Seto said, gently shaking her.
"Hmm…" she moaned, rolling over on the ground.
"Mina we're next in line! It's our turn!" Mokuba yelled.
She immediately sat up. "What?! We are!?"
"Yeah, now get up and let's go!"
"Alright, alright!" Mina yawned, slowly getting to her feet.
Mokuba handed the ticket man their tickets and the three of them took the front boxcar.
"Isn't this exciting?" Mina asked, her hand sliding over the smooth, metallic rail.
Mokuba nodded his head vigorously while Kaiba had just grunted.
"Hey, isn't that Yugi and his friends?" Mokuba pointed to the other side of the theme park, near the snack bar.
"I think you're right kiddo. Oh look! Serena and the others are with them too! Do you think we should call them over here?"
I don't think so…Kaiba thought. What would Yugi, his arch rival think if he knew KaibaCorp's CEO was at a kiddy park?
"I don't think so Mina, if Yugi knows it's us, then everybody else will know Seto and I are here."
"Oh you're right…"
"All right everybody." The employee for the ride announced, "White Lightning Express is about to take off so make sure your seatbelts are fastened and please keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times!"
"She sounds like a broken-record player," Mina whispered to Mokuba. He giggled but not before Seto threw a look at Mina, since he was the one that hired her. Mina slumped in her seat.
"Okay, get ready…"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Luna and Artemis had finished raiding the aquarium, Diana had begged them to come with her to KaibaLand. They reluctantly agreed.
"Artemis look! Isn't that…Mina?" Luna pointed with her paw at a roller coaster that looked like the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
Artemis squinted, trying to get a better look. "Mina? No…it can't be… Who are those two people with her?"
"That's Seto Kaiba and his little brother Mokuba." Diana chirped.
"Diana don't be…how can you tell?"
"Because their wigs are falling off. See?"
"She's right." Artemis agreed. "But…she never told me…"
Luna gave him one of her famous, I told you so, looks that she usually saved for Serena.
"If Mina didn't tell us then that must mean she doesn't want people to know," Luna said in a hushed voice, "So don't' tell the others. Quickly, before they get suspicious!"
"Right!" Artemis and Diana nodded. And so the three cats hurried to catch up with their friends, agreeing never to speak of this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew I shouldn't have listened to that…Kaiba stumbled off the ride, he felt sick. He quickly ran to the nearest trashcan, and attempted to throw up. Nothing came out.
It turns out his head was just spinning, he was so dizzy.
"Sunshine? Seto are you okay?" Mina asked, kneeling down.
"I hate you." Kaiba muttered.
She began to rub his back, which momentarily stopped the dizziness and his urge to throw up.
"The first one's always the hardest sweetie, although it looks like Mokuba is doing just fine, in fact, he wants to go on another one! So? Are you ready?"
"Y-you're kidding right?"
"If you go on a few more rides, you'll get the hang of it. Trust me."
"Trust you? I almost…what are you doing?"
"Fixing your wig. There." She said. Then Mina leaned forward and kissed Seto on the nose, causing him to blush.
"Now let's get going, you wouldn't want to disappoint Mokie, now would you?"
Seto's head snapped up. Mokie. That's the nickname he gave Mokuba back when they were living in the orphanage. "Where did you hear that from?
"What, Mokie?" Mina shrugged. "I dunno, it just popped into my head. Cute nickname huh?"
Kaiba didn't say anything, he just turned away, thinking. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard an annoying tune playing.
"Oops! Sorry, my cell phone. Just a minute," she took off her hat and pulled out a small, cream orange cell phone, which had been taped to the inside of her hat.
"You put your phone in a hat?!"
"Well, I didn't bring a purse, so…Hello?" Mina said to the person on the other line.
Kaiba carefully watched Mina's face through the conversation. In just a few moments Mina's face crumbled as she dropped the phone, letting it fall to the ground with a thud.
"No…" she choked, losing her balance. Lucky for her though, Kaiba was able to catch her.
"Mina? Mina what's wrong?!"
She's coming…Mina thought, shaking in Kaiba's arms, She's coming…!
A/N: So what did you think? I gave Mokuba a special little power, he has the sort of cool ability to be able to say what most others are thinking because usually he's just...there. I put Domino City in America, just because it works out better for my stories! Well...I'll update soon!
