Author's note: Well you guys lucked out! I updated twice! LOL anyway please enjoy and review...would like to know if i lost my edge LOL!

Waking up Joey rolled over in bed to look at his alarm clock and groaned, it read five o'clock in the morning. He wasn't supposed to be up for another hour and a half. Turning over defiantly he tried to go back to sleep. With another groan he realized he was totally awake and would not be able to get back to sleep. Getting up he grabbed his uniform then paused looking at. 'If I go I'll surely see him there…But if I don't go Yugi will get mad…' That's when he recalled that were getting their paintings back in art. "I guess I'll go." Joey sighed heading towards the shower.

Meanwhile at the Kaiba mansion Kaiba was up sitting on his desk looking over a contract. 'When did I make this with the Mutt?' Kaiba tried to recall anytime he had spent with the Mutt. 'Tokyo…It must have been in Tokyo…' Reading through the contract he saw that he had supplied the Mutt with a laptop and was also going to supply a cell phone, it also stated that he would take care of Joey's other job, he seemed to remember doing that already. 'So now to figure out when he'll start.' Kaiba made some calls making arrangements for Joey's office to be set up by the time school was over. 'Now all that's left is to confront the Mutt.' Kaiba thought as he began typing looking at the time he thought. 'I wonder if he's even awake yet.' Shaking his head Kaiba was confused why he had even thought that.

Reaching the classroom at his usual time Joey was happy to find he was alone. Sitting down he began to work on his English homework. He was so busy trying to figure out how to translate the word prevalent into English he didn't notice as the door slid open and someone walked in. It wasn't until they set their things down that Joey took notice. Turning around he paled seeing Kaiba there. 'Great what am I supposed to do? Does he even remember me.' Joey felt his eyes begin to water as he watched Kaiba set down his brief case.

"Wheeler" Kaiba said after setting his brief case down. "There is a matter we must discuss."

Joey gave him a confused and hurt look as he nodded.

Seeing the hurt in Joey's eyes Kaiba felt a tight pain in his chest, but ignoring it he opened his brief case withdrawing the document. "This contract…" Kaiba started but was cut off by Joey's gasp as things clicked in his mind.

'If he remembered he would have gotten rid of that!' Joey thought with a slimmer of hope. 'So I need to make him remember.'

Kaiba was about to snap Joey's head off when he stopped himself at seeing the pleased look on Joey's face. "Anyway Wheeler" Kaiba continued after a moment. "This contract states that you are to be my new assistant." Kaiba pulled something else from his brief case and started towards Joey. "Which means this is yours." He handed Joey a green cell phone. "It's your favorite color right?" Kaiba asked as Joey took it nodding. 'What was that about?' He berated himself mentally. 'It doesn't matter if it's his favorite color or not! Wait how did I know it is?' Kaiba hid his inner thoughts as he told Joey more about the phone. "My cell number is the first number in your phone followed by the mansion and then the driver. You are not to give out any of those numbers." 'Now that I think about it why does he need the mansion's number?' Kaiba brushed it off as a minor detail that would be dealt with later. "You may use the phone however you wish, but it is first and foremost a work phone. So when I call you are to pick up immediately."

"So I can use it to call Yugi?" Joey asked skeptically. 'Kaiba's being nice…'

"…Yes." Kaiba scowled. 'Why am I letting him use a work phone for whatever he wants?' Kaiba asked himself. 'It's so that he doesn't bug the driver for conversation.' He reasoned. "Now do you know how to use it?" Kaiba asked.

Shaking his head Joey was reeling with all the new information he had just gained. It was then that the door slid open and Duke walked in.

Duke was in the middle of greeting Joey when he saw Kaiba was there. Looking from Joey to Kaiba he quickly decided to go to Joey's side. "Something wrong Joey?" He asked eyeing Kaiba.

"No." Joey was looking at Kaiba like a puppy who wants to be held.

Noticing the look in Joey's eyes Kaiba was surprised at how much he wanted to be the one holding him. But instead he glared at Duke who had his arm around Joey's shoulder.

'That's MY MUTT!' A voice cried in the back of his mind but it went unheard as Kaiba handed the contract to Joey.

"You start today after school. Meet me at the drive." Kaiba turned and began to walk away. "Oh and if you have questions about your phone meet me at lunch." Kaiba smirked as he left the classroom with a blushing Joey behind him.

"What's this?" Duke asked taking the contract. "And what does he mean start today? And what phone?" Skimming the contract Duke sighed. "I see."

"He doesn't remember me." Joey said confidently.

"How do you know?" Duke questioned.

"Or this contract would have been voided." Joey said snatching it back and holding it close to him along with his phone.

"Knowing Kaiba you might be wrong." Duke warned him but Joey was already in his seat trying to figure out his phone.

It wasn't long before the whole group knew about the contract and the encounter that morning. Yugi was the only one that completely believed Kaiba wasn't trying to deceive Joey. As class began Joey was still trying to figure out how to text and input phone numbers. By art class he had accomplished getting Yugi's number into the phone.

"So how do you think you guys did on the paintings?" Tristan asked Yugi and Téa gave him a weak smile while Joey smiled slightly. "Oh come on! It can't be that bad. Especially not yours Joey! You're sure to get an A."

"But that won't bring up my grade any." Joey reminded him.

"True." Tristan frowned. And true enough Joey did get an A, but it only moved his grade from an F to a D for the moment.

Watching Joey and his friends during art class Kaiba spotted Joey's painting. 'I've seen this before……' But try as he might he could just barely recall where and the importance of the tails. 'Those are our soul cards…so why is mine used?' Kaiba recalled his rivalry with Yugi but he never remembered Wheeler being there. Dismissing it as paranoia he let it be.

As lunch rolled around Joey still hadn't figured out his phone. "Guys I'll be right back." Joey told his friends as he headed towards Kaiba's table. "Hey Moneybags" Joey said as he approached.

Kaiba looked up with a lost look on his face. 'Moneybags?' Shaking his head slightly he glared at Joey a little, but seeing Joey's hurt expression he couldn't keep it up. "What is it?" Kaiba asked as Joey sat down in front of him. "Do you need help with your phone?"

Joey smiled sheepishly and nodded. Kaiba couldn't help but smirk a little. Joey took out the phone and handed it to Kiaba. "I can't figure out how to add numbers and text." Joey confided.

"Ah." Kaiba quietly opened the phone and showed Joey how to do everything. "So Mutt…your painting…would you mind selling it?" Kaiba asked before he knew he had.

"I don't know who would want it." Joey gave him a down cast look. 'What's going on?'

"I was wanting to buy it." Kaiba again spoke without thinking. 'What's wrong with me? Usually I have more control than this.'

Joey gave Kaiba a hopeful look but saw that his eyes were clouded in confusion. "I don't really sell my work…" Joey smiled suddenly. "But if you want it you can have it."

"But it's surely worth…" Kaiba started unsure why he wasn't willing to take it.

"It's a gift." Joey smiled sadly. 'A gift from the heart.' "I'll give it to you after school so no one knows." Joey smiled getting up.

"Wait." Kaiba whispered. 'Again without thought!' He mentally berated himself. But suddenly a memory of loss crossed his mind and his heart froze.

"Huh?" Joey looked at him and couldn't bring himself to leave after seeing the abandoned look in Kaiba's eyes. Sitting back down Joey smiled. "You know Seto" Joey quickly covered his mouth standing to run away as Kaiba gave him an icy glare that's when Kaiba surprised him.

"Don't call me that at school." Kaiba hissed.

"Huh?" Joey gave him a confused look sitting back down. "Are you saying I can other places?" Joey pushed.

Kaiba thought a moment. "…Yes." 'Did I just give him permission to use my first name?' "But only when we are alone or at the office." Kaiba added. Joey smiled brightly and Kaiba thought he was going to die from the joy it brought him that he caused such a smile to appear on Joey's face. "Aren't you going to eat?" Kaiba asked noticing Joey hadn't had lunch.

"He…" Joey scratched the back of his head, he didn't have money for lunch after the trip.

"Here." Kaiba gave him half a sandwhich. " I don't plan to eat it anyway."

Joey took it questioningly but when Kaiba went back to work Joey ate it and continued to sit there and watch him. He noticed Kaiba didn't mind.

Looking over at Joey and Kaiba from their table Yugi's group was surprised to see Joey get up several times only to sit back down. They hoped it was because things were going well. Then when they saw Kaiba give Joey part of a sandwich they relaxed a little.

In the next class Tristan went to ask about it but Joey told him he really didn't know what was up with that. But he explained about Kaiba's memory loss and the group was a little more hopeful as school ended and Joey headed to meet Kaiba.
