Hello there...
I'm here again...
presenting another chapter of 'A Double Entendre.'
Disclaimer: Me no own, you no sue.
All of theme were there again, by the cherry blossom tree. Babbling to one another, talking about the most random things, one side is talking about boys while the other is is talking about girls. It been peaceful for them lately. No one was there to darken their days.
"Hey, Joey.", Serenity said.
"Yeah, Ren?", he replied.
"You know...I-I think we should pay Kaiba a visit.",she said.
"WHAA?! Why are we gonna visit dat moneybags?!", Joey said. No, Joey screamed. Overwhelmed with all the various emotions he felt at that certain moment.
"Serenity, I think that's a good idea!", Yugi said.
"Yeah, he's almost missed the entire week of school...Well, he does have two more days before he misses the entire week.", Duke said in a contemptuous manner.
"Well, I think we should drop by sometime.", Yugi replied to Duke's comment.
Then Tea butted in and started saying with a brim of confidence and a slight smug, "Well, believe it or not, I heard this from Mokuba. He said ' Seto is actually very fond of your presence on certain occasions. No, scratch that. On most occasions.' See guys, He might actually be nice to use someday and he'd be our friend in no time!"
"Hold on Tea, how exactly is he 'fond' of us and how are we so sure that Mokuba is telling the truth?", Tristan replied with a 'detective-like' suspicion.
Well, Mokuba was telling the truth.
Though on why his brother was 'secretly fond' of Yugi and his friends. They were better off not knowing.
To be frank... Their group was composed of the following:
A bone-headed dice obsessed person.
A blue blooded dead Egyptian pharaoh.
A blond nitwit. More commonly known as 'mutt'
An ostentatious blond with an obsession for the color purple and a huge set of 'you know whats'
A bon mot boy who is not taller than five feet who has a bad case of idiosyncrasy.
A malcontent person for friendship.
A pencil turned human who tries to be the perfect 'Lochinvar'.
A so-called 'British boy' with white hair who seems so saturnine because he was molested, by another man.
And last by not the least, his redhead 'Marie Claire'.
So, honestly speaking, Mokuba did the right decision of leaving the reason of fondness blank. For most of them has been ridiculed in the Kaiba household, in the office. In short, everywhere.
Nevertheless, Yugi called Mokuba and 'told' him of their plans of visiting his brother.
"Stay right where you are Yugi! I'll pick all of you up so we can all go together!", said the magnanimous dark haired boy.
Then he hanged up.
"Well, what did Mokuba say?", Tea asked.
"He was...very glad. He said he'll pick us up.", He replied with a somewhat sheepish smile.
So they waited.
Three minutes. It wasn't really much of a wait..
So a shiny, sleek, black limousine parked right in front of them.
Well, what were they expecting?
Mokuba on a bicycle?
A van?
Well, reality begs to differ.
"Hey guys! Come on, hop in." Mokuba Kaiba said as he beamed the 'million dollar smile'.
Wordlessly, they went inside the limo.
Amazing. Wow. So this is the 'daily' means of transportation of the Kaiba's. A car that came with a refrigerator, a flat screen T.V., and a huge teddy bear.
The stuffed toy seemed so out of place, even Joey noticed it.
"Hey. Mokuba. Who in da world owns dat big teddy bear?", he asked curiously.
"That's Seto's pillow." he said, like as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Meanwhile in a certain hospital room
A certain brunette sneezed.
Back to the limo
Joey couldn't stop laughing. Well, Bakura, Tristan and Duke had the same reaction as well. It was like as if what they just heard was the most witty, rib tickling, sidesplitting, asinine, grotesque and diverting comment then have ever heard.
Hands down to them, no body has seen anybody laugh as hard as they were.
Yugi decided to change the subject and asked Mokuba, "So, what hospital is Kaiba in?"
"Oh, the usual. St. Luke's International Hospital, they one near Tsukijii Station."
Haha. Why do I suddenly feel 'financially' inferior'?
"Why did you ask Yugi?"
"Just curious."
"Oh we're here already!", the younger boy said.
So they went down the limo and they couldn't believe that this place was a hospital. Then, they went to the lobby. Well, Tristan and Joey were like kids seeing a theme park for the first time. Then they saw a familiar face.
"Oh hey Roland!", Mokuba said.
The bodyguard nodded and looked at the people Mokuba brought with him. Then left.
"I do hope Kaiba is okay. I mean he's been stuck in the hospital eating nothing but hospital food.", said Tea.
"I hope he doesn't feel terrible not being able to work.", Yugi replied.
Seto Kaiba did feel terrible, but he was happy.
So they went inside the elevator and went high up, way high up.
Then it hit them.
Kaiba was using the suite, in a high class hospital.
There wasn't a penthouse so he had to settle for the suite, honestly speaking.
So, a hospital room equipped with a large LCD, goose quilts and pillows, 'high class' hospital food, an efficient service system and a good looking nurse to keep you company wasn't at all a bad idea. No wonder the young CEO wasn't complaining.
The moment Mokuba and company entered the room, they were...speechless?
Mokuba knew what to expect.
But they didn't.
Nope, it's because a typical sick person would not be playing an unreleased video game. They'd be confined to the bed, pitying themselves.
Not to mention the very 'physically appealing' nurse staying by his side.
And a lot more new and unreleased video games on one side of the room.
Only then did Joey feel the perks of visiting the rich that are sick.
It was in that time where he actually liked Kaiba.
More like his stuff, but that's almost the same.

"Kaiba, I thought you were sick.", Yugi stated. Confused, in a really big way.
"I am.", Kaiba replied, but before Yugi could ask him another question...
Joey, Tristan, Bakura and Duke literally went 'gaga' over his collection of video games.
I wonder how they would react if they found out I made that. The 'ill' boy thought.
"This! They don't sell this yet!"
"I thought dat dis was gonna come out next year!"
"They said that they stopped producing this game."
"HEEYY!!! I thought that this game was still in the making!!!"
"WHOA! The upgraded version!!!"
"HAHAHA!!! Look at dis!"
"This game..."
"Crap. SHIT. HELL NO. Seto Kaiba doesn't own this game. He couldn't..it's just too--!!!"
The moment Kaiba realized what Mr. Devlin was implying, he immediately asked Roland to get if from Duke's hands.
Ah, the perks of being rich. Lovely, don't you think?
Dr. Fujioka entered the room, temporarily stopping the 'noise of amazement' Joey, Duke and Tristan were creating.
"Ahem.."
Yes, silence. Complete silence.
Now was the time for bad part of being in the hospital.
Medicines and other procedures.
It was nothing terrible, really. Just a few ounces of medicine, via syringe, a bag of blood, and three pills and hard core medicated food.
It was nothing much, nothing much at all.
The blue-eyed teen was 'seemingly' used to the pain.
Though, the ones around him seemed to cringe, it looked...painful, excruciatingly painful.
Tea looked at Kaiba then asked hesitantly, "Kaiba are you--?"
"Yes. I'm fine."
"Is it over?", said the scared redhead who was by all means, scared to take her hands off her eyes.
"It's over Serenity, You can look now.", Duke said in the most 'prince charming' way as possible then, took her hands and smiled at her and said, "It's done."
Enraged.
Hostile.
Fury.
Wrath.
Vexation.
Enmity.
My, my, Duke. Be careful for what you wish for.
"Devlin, let me be polite for once to ask you to step outside so that you wouldn't hear me ridiculing your lame way of flirting.", said the hot blooded brunette.
"While your at it, leave mah sistah in here as well!", the other hot blooded blond screamed.
Well, Duke was somewhat 'humiliated'.
What scared them was, Joey and Kaiba did it together.
I'll make sure that I'll douse and saturate him in acid before I die.
If he goes near mah sistah...I swear, even if I get killed...I'll drown him in acid or somethin'
Poor Duke Devlin needs to learn that one should not fan a fire if they want it to get weaker.
"Umm...Joey.", Serenity said, trying to get her brothers attention from his inner-mind.
"Yeah Ren?"
"Everybody, I have something to tell you because I've kept it a secret far too long.", she said then continued, "Duke and I are going out."
"WHY!! YOUU!!!DUKE COME HEAR!!!", Joey 'screamed'.
"D-d-duke. Congratulations.", Tristan said. Trying so uber hard to hide the contusion of his pride.
"Wow, Serenity, that's so cool!", Tea said.
"Duke, make sure that you take good care of Serenity, Okay?", Yugi said.
Before Mokuba could say anything, he looked at his brother.
Poor Seto.
His Seto Kaiba looked at his brother and gave him the ' I'm fine' nod.
If she's happy then, I'll be happy too.
"Wow Serenity, you just caught a pretty big fish.", Tea said with much excitement.
But Serenity caught my brother too...So if Duke's a big fish, does that make my brother a beached whale?
"Mokuba?", Kaiba said.
"What are you thinking about? You have a smug on your face."
Mokuba saw this as an opportunity to change the subject, for onee-sama's sake.
"Hahaha, nothing Seto. I just remembered something"
Then the older boy looked at him with a 'What the hell are you thinking about' look.
"Oh fine, onee-sama. Do you remember Georgia onee-chan? The really pretty girl you meet at the party last week?"
"Yes, yes I do. Why?", he replied.
What is he trying to pull off now?
"Well, you see...last friday you went to another party, right?"
"Yes."
"Then when you got home, I saw the both of you go up to your room."
"Oh, that wasn't Georgia. That was her older sister, Adriana."
"Well, still. I heard you that night. What game were you playing it sounded so fun?!", Mokuba said
with the successful innocent smile, then he looked around
Yes! They're reacting the way they're supposed to.
His brother was not replying to his question but instead he looked at him with a 'What the hell Mokuba?!' look.
"Seto! Don't lie to me I know what I heard...when I was going to get food from the kitchen and besides, when I was going back to my room, you were still playing that game.", Mokuba said.
"We were playing rock, paper scissors.", his elder brother stated.
"No you weren't. I know I heard you and Adriana onee-chan! I heard her say 'So, Seto Kaiba what games do you like to play?' then you said 'It's a secret.' then she said 'Hmm..I like surprises.' then I heard you say 'I like treats.'...that was before I went down, but when I was on the way to my room I heard her laughing and making this weird sound then she said, 'Seto I'm gonna--'. So what happened Seto? Did she lose the game? Because she could have said 'Seto I'm gonna lose'. What game did you play afterwards?", Mokuba said in the most naive way as possible, putting all his innocent eyes, innocent smile on the outside but the inner look of Mokuba was more of a devious laughing little boy, smirking.
Seto Kaiba was almost, unable to recover. It's a good thing that he knows how to recover from shock quickly.
Then he said, "Mokuba, we were playing a very intense game of Monopoly, I had a lot of surprises and then she made a stupid mistake that's why we were laughing, then she lost because she had to pay for passing but she didn't have enough money to pay anymore."
"Ohhh..Wow Seto! You must really love Monopoly.", Mokuba said.
"Yes, I do."
Poor Duke, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Bakura.
"Who exactly is this 'Georgia and Adriana onee-chan'?", Tristan asked.
Then Mokuba gave him a lingerie catalog.
"HOLY SHI--!"
"WHAT THE?!"
"CRAP,CRAP,CRAP"
"WHAAA?!"
"HOW IN THE WORLD?!"
Georgia and Adriana Nemcova. They were all, aghast.
How-how does he get these girls? Joey though
No wonder he doesn't date anyone from school. thought Tristan
Kaiba actually does it. Tea thought
Kaiba? Lingerie? Girl? Model? Physical contact? Yugi was confused.
He is a boy. Serenity was thinking.
And I thought Serenity was good looking. Duke thought.
They were surprised. Well, they had every right to be. Judging from the way this 'information' was presented to them.
Suddenly, a nurse knocked on the door and said, "Visiting hours are over, only family members are allowed to stay.
So they left, completely shocked. That leaves Seto Kaiba and Mokuba Kaiba alone in the room.
Kaiba decided to break the silence by saying, "I apologize for the language Mokuba ,but fuck you."
"I'd love to say the same thing Seto, but you just got yours.", his younger brother replied mockingly.
His own brother was just as scheming as he is.
"So Seto, when will you get out of here?"
"In a few days time I guess."

The next day, Yugi and Tea decided to visit Kaiba again.
"Hey Yugi, Kaiba was in a 'good' mood yesterday. Don't you think?", Tea said
"Yeah, he was. The last time we spoke to him was when said something about Joey that day. When we accidentally dropped pink paint on him.", Yugi said.
"I'm glad to see that Kaiba is changing, slowly."
"Me too Tea, me too."
When they got to the hospital, they saw the Kaiba's doctor, Dr. Fujioka. Then when Dr. Fujioka saw them, he approached them and said, "Ah, you must be Kaiba-sama's 'acquaintances'."
"Yeah, we're his acquaintances alright.", Yugi replied.
"Why don't we go to the garden, I have something to ask of you."
So when they got to the garden, Dr. Fujioka started to inform then of something they didn't know.
"What?!", Yugi exclaimed.
"Yes, he's going to take the operation.", Dr. Fujioka said calmly.
"I know that Kaiba-sama trusts you."
He trusts us. Yugi thought.
"May I ask you a favor then?", the doctor asked.
"Yeah, sure."
"The moment Kaiba-sama is well enough to go back to school, can you keep him company? Let him join your group? From what I've seen, he's very 'fond' of your company."
"We'll do everything we can, sir.", Yugi replied.
Then Dr. Fujioka looked at the both of them and said "Ah, yes. He likes cookies." then he left.
"Kaiba likes cookies?", Yugi repeated.
"Hey Tea, is that cookies?"
"Yeah, Joey made too much cookies in cooking class so I decided to bring some home but seeing that Kaiba likes cookies, I think I'll give it to him."
So they went back in the hospital, went to the floor Kaiba was in, got thoroughly inspected, were asked for identification and many more.
"Whoa. That was some tight security.", Yugi said.
"I know. I wonder why Kaiba needs to do all these things?", Tea wondered.
"Next time, we should come with Mokuba.", Tea said.
"Yeah, I think we should do that."
By the time they got to the room there was more than fifty bouquets of flowers. It was filled.
"Whoa..", Yugi and Tea said.
Then they finally found Kaiba, reading a book. It was a seemingly normal book.
Whoa, those are one of the thickest glasses I have ever seen.
"Hey Kaiba.", Yugi greeted cheerfully.
He looked at them and nodded.
"So Kaiba, what's your eye grade?"
"Five hundred."
Why is it that high? Yugi thought.
Then suddenly, some out of the blue event just happened.
"Are those cookies?", Kaiba asked Tea.
"Yeah."
"May I have one?"
"Sure."
"Thank you."
He was happy, it's been ages since he's seen a cookie. Being stuck to hospital food for days, nothing could brighten his day more than cookies.
"ONEE-SAMA!", greeted the dark haired boy.
"Oh hey Tea! Hey Yugi!"
"Hey Mokuba.", greeted tea.
"What's up Mokuba?", Yugi asked.
"Nothing much."
"Oh wow! Cookies! May I have one too?", the adorable little boy asked.
"Sure Mokuba."
"So, how are you feeling Seto?", Mokuba asked.
"Lovely.", his brother replied, while rolling his eyes.
"That's good.", Yugi said. Oblivious to the sarcasm implied.
So there they were, talking about school, duel monsters and cookies. Well, Yugi, Mokuba and Tea did most of the talking. Only then did they realize that Seto Kaiba wasn't such a bad person to be with. Putting aside all the side comments, insults, retorts and rolling of the eyes that is.
Yaay! Another chapter done! Sorry for the delay.
