6:00am

"Beep, Beep, Beep…"

Kaiba's eyes slowly opened to the sound of the alarm clock. He sat up on the bed and yawned fiercely; unbeknownst to most people, he hated the mornings. His cerulean blue eyes scanned around the room finally landing on the alarm clock. He reached for it and flicked it off. Seto scratched the back of his head and rubbed his eyes, quite not ready to get out of bed, but knowing he has to; it's one of the perks of being CEO. 'Hope you catch the sarcasm.'

He forced himself out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. He was only wearing boxers and a loosely buttoned up shirt. He felt the most comfortable in sleeping in that attire. Pajamas aren't his thing. Seto took the toothbrush that was on the top shelf and turned to the mirror. He started brushing his teeth and finished up by lightly flossing it. Afterwards he was about to take a shower when he realized there was no towel.

"Katrina!" Seto yelled out. 'Damn, where is that woman. She's never around when you need her.' Then it hit him. She doesn't work for him anymore. "God damn it, I forgot I fired her…" Seto mumbled into the bathroom. 'Now I have to go find me a new maid. Well she quitted on me actually' Seto thought sadly.

(Flash Back)

"You know what, I not picking that up! I'm too tired. If you want it gone then why don't you do so yourself!" Katrina turned her face and crossed her arms.

"If you don't do it then you're fired," Seto simply answered. He did not have time for games. It was late and he was tired.

"Well I'm not doing it, and you're not firing me because I quit!" Katrina screamed.

(End Of Flash Back)

Seto sighed and then called his most faithful servant "Monica." A minute passed and a young girl that looked not a year over 21 entered Seto's room. She opened the bathroom door slightly and poked her head into the room.

"You called Seto?" she asked in low voice.

"Yes I did and you can come in," Seto answered

Monica entered the room and stared at Seto blankly waiting for her majesty's order; for that was what he was, or, what he thought of himself as. She had light brown hair and dark chocolate eyes. Her hair came up to her shoulders and her skin was a caramel color. Her height was up to Seto's shoulder and she wore an exact copy of the maid outfit that Katrina wore. Monica was still sleepy since it was only six in the morning but tried to hide it.

"Tired are we?" Seto asked, a small but noticeable smile playing upon his face. The only person other than Mokuba to see Kaiba show small signs of emotion was Monica. They have history.

Monica shook her head in agreement and glared at him. "Tired because it's so early, but more than anything I'm tired of my crappy boss" Monica countered and smiled. A charming grin, kind of attractive really. If it was any other person, they would have been fired on the spot. But again, Monica was different.

"Whatever" Seto mumbled.

"And put some clothes on for god sakes, no one wants to see you prance around in your boxers" Monica finished still smiling.

"I just woke up woman, what do you expect me to wear, a suit?" Seto sighed; he tried not to roll his eyes. 'It's pointless arguing with her. She always has to have the last word.'

"So, what do you want huh?" Monica asked as she leaned against the door.

Seto shook his head at her tone. She never learns. Monica was one of the only people who could talk to him like that. She began working for Kaiba Corp. a few days after Seto took over. During the eight years of becoming one of the best gaming companies around, Monica was always working at Kaiba Corp. and constantly watched over Mokuba as the babysitter. He developed respect for her as a woman through her care of Mokuba when he wasn't around, and even though she can be sometimes overly playful, she was a hard working girl.

"Can you get me a towel?" Seto asked.

Monica raised a brow. "A towel?! You call me six in the morning to get you a lousy towel?" Monica fell to the floor and started to roll back and forth holding stomach, not being able to hold in her laughter. She slowly regained control over herself and stood up.

"Who could imagine the 'Great Seto Kaiba' being so lazy that he can't get his own towel?" Monica said as she began to snicker. "Not that he likes taking a shower anyways" Monica finished sarcastically as she began to laugh again.

"You got jokes huh?" Seto asked rhetorically. "I guess that big forehead of yours is clouding your mind. I can't remember the last time you took a shower." A smirk began to form on Seto's face knowing that his retort would stir Monica.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny. Now is that all you want or do want something else?" Monica asked now getting serious.

"Now that I think about it, get Mokuba up and ready for school and then remind me at two to post on the Internet that I need a new maid" Seto finished.

"Ok, well then see you at two" Monica finished and headed out the door. All she understood was "I need a new maid at two." If she ever listened to every command Kaiba gave her, she'd go crazy. She put what she heard together and thought Seto wanted her to find a new maid for him by two; and that was exactly what she was going to do.

1:30pm

Seto sat in his McLaren driving home from his meeting at Kaiba Corp. All day some of his workers were arguing about some glitch affecting the gaming software. Kaiba eventually solved the problem but it took some time.

(Flash Back)

"Mr. Kaiba-Sama, the duel disc is not working properly. There's some type of virus," said one of the duel disc operators as he tried to summon a monster but the visual image of the monster did not appear.

"Let me see you idiot" Seto snapped as he grabbed the duel disc and put it on his arm. "What do I pay you buffoons for anyway if not one of geeks know how to fix one little glitch."

Seto placed his Blue Eyes on the slot but no monster appeared. He did it 3 more times to make sure it wasn't just a bug. He sighed and took off the duel disc and placed it on the floor.

"Do any of you fool's have a screwdriver?" Seto asked. One of the workers nodded and came up to Seto with said item. He took the screwdriver and started to take apart the duel disc. He ultimately found the problem which was that one of the electrical exponent wires were mixed up with the wire that connects to the summoned monster slot. It took an extra hour to fix that problem because Seto couldn't touch the electrical exponent wire or else he would be electrocuted. He asked if anyone of his workers had an electrical safety glove but all them said no. So they had to wait for a new glove to be shipped in and then they could fix the problem. Honestly, Kaiba thought of firing every man in that building numerous times while he waited. They really are all some buffoons.

(End of Flash Back)

2:00pm

Seto pulled into the driveway and parked his car in front of Kaiba Mansion. One of Kaiba's maid's came up to Seto and asked him if he wanted her to park his car. He barley nodded and gave her the keys. He walked up to the big chestnut doors and another one of Seto's maids came up to him.

"Mr. Kaiba-Sama, we have your applicants waiting in the living room," announced the maid.

Seto arched an eyebrow in confusion. He had no idea what the maid was talking about. He just gave her a nod and proceeded to the living room. As soon as he stepped into the room Seto was bombarded with noise from all corners. There was chaos everywhere he looked. There was people fighting, pets around the house, babies crying, various items scattered in every direction and maids everywhere.

"What the hell's going on?" Seto yelled. He was totally pissed. 'Why the hell are there so many people just lounging around in my living room?! How did they all get in? Don't I pay body guards to well, GUARD my damn house!' "Monica!"

The brunette heard Seto yell and sighed. She rushed down the stairs and approached Seto. Everyone was quite now ever since Kaiba entered and started yelling. She looked at Seto with a confused look and nudged her head to the side as a sign to follow her. They walked into the dining room where only Seto's workers were allowed to be in at this time.

"Do you have short term memory loss or something but you specifically told me to start looking for a new candidate for the open maid position at two!" Monica stared at Seto like he dumb and waited for the ice prince to answer.

"No you dummy. I said to remind me at two to post on the Internet that I need a new maid, not find one for me!" Seto shook his head and started to rant, there were too many people in his house. They were making a mess of the place. Kaiba does not do chaos. Perfection was more suited for him; more like demanded of him. "But no, you went to gather every loser in Domino City and bring them into my house." Seto sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in the dining room. After ranting, he started to think. 'I could us this to my advantage though. Now I can get me a new maid without wasting my time posting it up on the Internet, and waiting until someone comes to apply for the job.'

"You know what Monica?" Seto asked rhetorically. Monica was about to ask "what?" until Seto finished. "Keep all the guests in the living room. Send them one by one and I will test them out to see which one is appropriate to be my new maid."

Monica nodded and walked out of the room happy that today wasn't a complete failure. Seto stood up from where he was sitting and picked up another chair. He placed it in front of the seat he was sitting in and Seto sat back down. Outside of the dining room Monica calmed down all of the participants trying out for Seto's job with the help of the other maids.

"Alright everyone, Mr. Kaiba-sama will now be interviewing everyone one at a time. Each person will have his or her opportunity to convince Kaiba-sama as to why they want this job" Monica stated. She pulled out a list of papers from the pocket of her maid's uniform and called out the first name on the list.

"Miss Castillo, you will be first," Monica said aloud as the woman walked up to the door and entered the dining room.

2:55pm

The first person Seto interviewed for the job was a woman and a good-looking one at that. She had long onyx hair that reached down to her waist and she had dark brown eyes. Her bangs covered some parts of her face and her skin was light brown. She wore a nice pair of fitted jeans and a short black spaghetti-strap top. She had on black high heels and her lips were luscious red.

Her beauty stunned Seto, but he was not one to show such expression. And so he appeared unmoved.

"So," Kaiba started off trying to end silence between them, "why are you applying for this job?"

"Well," Ms. Castillo started "the reason I applied for this job is to get enough money to cure myself of this abnormality called down-syndrome."

"Down-syndrome?!" Seto almost shouted. 'Is that not the abnormality that some people have who can act nice one minute and then go totally bat crazy the next minute. I can't let her be one of my maids. She might attack one of them.'

"Okay that's good enough; I'll call you to tell you if you got the job." Seto said quickly trying to cut the interview short. 'I got to get her out of here before she loses it.'

"Fine you stuck up jerk!" 'Damn, too late.' "You act like you got a stick shoved up your ass! People like you have no respect for people like me with disabilities" Ms. Castillo screamed.

"Guards!" Seto yelled. "This woman's crazy get her out of here!" Two guards came from outside the living room and picked up Ms. Castillo.

"Come on lady time to go," said one of the guards.

"Huh?" Ms. Castillo asked in confusion. "What's wrong, I didn't do anything wrong. Let me go" she said as the two guards dragged her out of the room. Seto shook his head in disappointment. 'If only she wasn't so crazy. I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.'

6:30pm

"Okay Kaiba-sama, we only have one more person left," stated Monica as she walked into the room after the second-to-last person left.

"Where did you find these people? Every one of them seemed like they came from a mental home!" Kaiba asked shocked at every single person that came in to apply for the job. "Almost all of them have something wrong with them. If it's not something mental, it's something physical. Tell me Monica… What the hell am I going to do with a handicap maid? Make him or her roll around in their wheelchair or walk in their crutches serving me at will?" Seto was tired. All day he kept on saying that this isn't the job for the appliers or go somewhere else. All he wanted was for someone to come in and be hired as his new maid and for them be normal. That's all I'm asking for. Just a normal maid, one that has no disabilities what so ever. Just a perfectly normal maid! Is that so hard to ask for?

"Stop whining already, the last person is Ms. Valentine and she looks promising" Monica stated as she headed out the door.

Seto sat in the same chair that he's been sitting in for the past four hours. He was tired and bored. Interviewing people was a boring job. But something about the name Valentine is awfully familiar. I've heard it before.

Thinking of the devil, Mai Valentine opened up the door and walked towards the seat in front of her. Her long blonde hair swished side to side as she walked smoothly across the room. She moved her hips in a delicate lady-like manner as she approached the seat. Her eyes were violet and her skin was a light cream color. Her lips were rosy red and all men she was a goddess. She wore a casual pair of jeans and her infamous white corset that had the men drooling.

Mai sat in the chair and folded her legs waiting for the interview to begin. She was surprised when she saw Kaiba of all people holding the auditions. She thought he was too good for these kinds of things. She never thought he did his own interviewing. He surely had enough money to hire an interviewer, she was sure of that.

"Mai?" Seto questioned realizing just who exactly was in front of him. 'Why the hell is she here? Surely she isn't thinking about really working for him. Isn't she a top ranked duelist? Why in the world would she trade dueling for being a maid?'

"Yo hun" Mai answered simply.

"What are you doing here? I wouldn't expect you to actually apply for a job like this?" Seto got straight to the point. He was never one to beat around the bush. He was curious now. Exactly why did the blond apply for the job?

"I'm in need of a job." Her answer was blunt. She was also one who tended to be straight to the point when she felt like it. Even though it was plain, it was the truth. She really did need a job and fast.

"Obviously" Seto answered hardly hiding his sarcasm. "Let me clarify Mai, why are you here for this job in particular?"

"Well first of all I need a job other than winning money by playing duel monsters all the time. I'm not earning enough cash and I can't pay some of my bills so in other words I'm in deep trouble. I'm running back on rent and such, and so, a job is crucial at this time. Plus I heard Kaiba Corp. pays well." Mai finished answering Seto's first question.

Kaiba nodded, accepting her answer. "How long do you intend to work for me?" Seto continued.

"As soon as I finish paying off all my bills then I'll probably find another job or go back to dueling." Mai said speaking the truth. She didn't want to work for Kaiba all her life; she could barely stand the guy. He was arrogant, and full of himself. The only reason she was here in the first place was because she desperately needed a job and this was the fastest thing she could find.

"My, my, so you will quit after you pay out the bills that you owe. I can't have my maid quitting on me so quickly. I don't want to go through another one of these damn interview things again" Kaiba pointed out, now leaning back in his chair. "Sorry Mai but you're not eligible for this job if you're going to quit so soon."

'Damn' Mai thought. 'I need this job. I guess I'll have to work for this jerk for longer than I thought.' "You didn't let me finish" Mai quickly stated, not wanting to leave with no job at all; especially after all that waiting for her turn.

"Well then by all means finish" Seto answered and a small smirk played his face. He had to admit, it was kind of interesting interviewing Mai. Either that or he was so damn bored with every other applicant that Mai just stood out. Either way, he would have to make her his new maid anyway because she was the last person applying for it, and he wasn't going to go through this ordeal of trouble again; so he would have to give her the job.

"As I said before I will quit as soon as my bills are paid off," Mai continued unaware that she was going to get the job anyways. "But if my pay is high enough I will work for longer." 'Crap! That's not what I meant to say! He's not going to hire me now! How's asking for more money going to secure this job?' Mai was fully aware that she was sitting in hot water. This would, on any normal circumstance definitely not get her the job. But Kaiba was a man who was far from normal.

"You know what, never mind" Mai mumbled, losing hope. 'I don't even know why I'm here applying for this job. I'll never be able to get it now. At least I can leave with my dignity. I have never begged for anything, and I'm not about to start now.' Mai then turned around and started to walk to the door.

"I didn't tell you to leave yet" Seto stated calmly. He looked at the woman and she turned around to look at him.

"I doesn't matter I won't get the job," Mai said sadly. "I'd rather live out on the streets than beg for a job from you." The last part she whispered as she was starting to realize by the looks of the interview, it would appear that she was going to be living on the streets soon.

Seto chuckled and then sat up. Mai looked at him confused as to why he was laughing. 'Maybe he thinks I'm a loser too.' Mai then continued to leave and approached the door to exit starting to turn the knob.

"Your hired" Seto stated. "I'll be seeing you here a six a.m. sharp tomorrow. You will be fitted into your maid's uniform and will then start your new job. Also you will be moving all your stuff to Kaiba Mansion understood. Everyone who works for my house has their own room in my mansion and you will too" Kaiba finished.

Mai was shocked. She couldn't believe she got hired. 'I have a job and I don't have to worry about house rent anymore. This is great!' Mai wiped her eyes and bowed respectfully. "Thank you sooo much. You wont regret it Kaiba!"

Little did she know, he already was. There was no reason for him to hire her. However some part of him felt a little remorse for Mai when she brought up the possibility that she might be sleeping without a home soon. He was cold, that was true, but he wasn't heartless. Mokuba is a sure sign that he has a heart. Kaiba nodded and with that done Seto turned to leave but before he did so, he turned around and asked if Mai needed a ride home. Mai nodded gratefully and Seto called for his driver to take her home.

12:00

Mai laid in bed as she anticipated her first day tomorrow. Her bags were packed and she was ready to leave to work for Kaiba. If she only knew, working for Kaiba was going to change her life forever. Mai yawned, sleeping starting to win the battle vs. anticipation, and slowly pulled the cover over, letting sleep win without no more resistance.

Authors Note: Man that was a long chapter. I put a whole lot of hard work into it so R&R.
