'Not like that, Seto.' The brunet stared at the men, anticipating their excuses. 'I only came across Joey the other day.'

'Oh, and you just chose to offer him a job and place to live?'

'I believe it's my property and this is my section of the company, so I can do what I want.' He turned from the blond, 'He was a mess, Seto and it's your fault.' He muttered under his breath. The blue eyed boy wasn't buying anything just yet.

'How did you come across him?' Mokuba blushed.

'It's a funny story actually…'

'Is it, do tell.' His voice remained emotionless.

'I think it's one you'll laugh at in years to come…'

'I'd like to laugh now.'

'No, no, you just got here. I bet you're jet lagged and tired and you need coffee.'

'I'm an insomniac, Mokuba, jet lag means nothing to me.'

'Oh yes, we better get you into bed then so you can try and sleep…'

'Not working, Mokuba.'

'Yes it is…now come on big brother…off we go.' He started tugging at Seto's arm, heading frantically towards the door, staring at an embarrassed Joey.

'Mokuba, you better tell me what is going on right now.' He glanced over to Joey, 'You too mutt.' So they were back to that!

'Ok…Ok…' Mokuba paled. 'I'd sit down first if I was you…'

'Fine.' Seto sat on the desk. 'Elaborate.' Taking a deep breath, Mokuba spoke at a rapid pace.

'Ok, ''tknowitwasJoeyandhedidn'!' Mokuba took a long breath at the end, exhausted for his explanation. He backed away from Seto slightly to observe his expression. He watched as the brunet replayed the words in his head, his expression went from none existence to confusion.

'So, let me get this straight…' he looked at Mokuba, 'You paid for…services…' and then he looked at Joey, 'And you…offer…them…' both boys nodded. 'Joey…you're a…whore?' It pained Joey to admit it to the boy, but…it was true. He nodded slowly. 'But…why?'

'There is nothing else I can do.'

'LIAR!'

'You don't know anything anymore, Kaiba. You ruined me. You took everything away when you left and I couldn't ever get it back!'

'You stupid Mutt, I did it for your own good. I did it for us!'

'You did it for your reputation, you ass.'

'They would have torn you to shreds!'

'As opposed to what!'

'I never thought you'd do this to yourself!'

'I didn't have a choice! I was all alone…' he whispered the last part.

'There is always a choice! You could have worked here before!'

'I'm sorry, I failed high school, I didn't think a job here was in question!'

'You could have told me…'

'You weren't there for me!'

'You still could have…'

'How! You were in America. Thousands of people want to talk to you, your number isn't easy to get hold of…'

'Ask Mokuba…'

'Seto, we both know he couldn't have done it so easily.' The raven haired boy finally cut in. 'Besides, there's no point arguing over the past, it's already happened.' He looked to his paperwork. 'I can file through this stuff tomorrow easily with Joey's help, let's go grab dinner and we'll do some catch up tonight.' He smiled hoping to calm the older two down, however the lightening sparking between hazel and azure eyes showed no chance of fading any time soon.

'You can't just take the day off whenever you want, Mokuba.'

'My part of the company, so yes I can. Who's gonna fire me?'

'Me.'

'Nope, we're partners, you can't. So ha. We're going for dinner now. Come on.' He smiled, before paging the limo and dragging both boys to the elevator. 'Now, smile and be happy, boys.' He grinned widely until the elevator opened, and the mask went up.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Hewo everybodies!

How are you all!

I've been watching abridged all over again. You might have seen some comments from it in the prequel to this, at the end where Kaiba says 'because shut up' and stuff. If it seeps in again…I'm sorry, I just love LK so much! I've also been watching vids from the conventions this year. I might go to one in florida next year. My boyfriend wants to go as Kaiba (haha) but by the time we go I'll have white hair…so I don't know who to go as now! I don't want to cross dress so I'm going to have a long think! Maybe Towa or Kisara? Any ideas?

Anyway, I'm rambling cos I'm happy tonight…lol,

Please R&R

Much loves!

AB
