Me: This is kind of a filler chapter until the next one.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own YuGiOh or "Streets of Gold" by Ruth Pointer (Oliver and Company version), but I do own Caylee.
ENJOY the chapter!
Mokuba sighed as he flipped through the channels on the TV in boredom.
It was a Saturday and he had hoped that they could spend the day together with Seto. But he had been called into the company because some worker had screwed up a program, deleting everything previously completed leaving a lot people who had worked on it pissed and ready to kill – Seto included.
So now the young raven-haired boy was bored out of his mind, wanting to be with his brother. She could feel the sadness radiating from him as she stood watching from the doorway.
Caylee had to try and bring him out of his funk.
"Hey Mokuba, is there anything you want to do today?" she asked.
"Be with my brother," he said in monotone.
She sighed and scratched the back of her head. She had no clue what to do with a fourteen-year-old hormonal boy.
Caylee had always gone to the club and any street performances when she bored. It was a great way to get into the latest music and any new moves that could be performed when it came to street dancing. The only other thing she could even remember liking was cooking with her mother but that had been years ago.
Perfect. The best way to distract any man was with food.
"Mokuba I was thinking of making some cookies, would you like to help me?" she asked, waiting for him to perk up at the mention of food.
Caylee barely stood out of the way as Mokuba dashed past and headed towards the kitchen, calling out, "You coming or what?"
She just laughed and ran to catch up to the energetic boy.
He was sitting at the kitchen counter, waiting for her to come.
"You sure changed your tune pretty easily," she said, grabbing a bowl from a cupboard.
"Yeah well, you mentioned food so there you go. What are we making?" he asked.
"Snicker doodles," she said.
"Snicker-what-now?" he said confused.
Caylee laughed as she grabbed the rest of the ingredients.
"My mom was half-American, half-Japanese and my grandmother taught her how to make them. There cookies that have been flatten and coated in cinnamon sugar," she explained.
Mokuba nodded and then began to help her. He then looked at her; a question seemed to be forming in his mind, "Hey Caylee, how come you don't mention anything about your family?"
His question shocked Caylee. She hadn't been expecting him to ask that from her.
She couldn't look him in the eyes as she answered.
"They died six years ago, along with my older brother," she stated.
Mokuba tilted his head, "Didn't you have any other family to look after you?"
She shook her head, afraid to answer.
"Then why didn't you go into an orphanage? Seto and I did and that's how we came to be adopted by Gozaburo," he questioned.
She glanced up and realised that he wasn't going to really back down without some resemblance of an answer close to the truth.
"Mokuba, not long after they died, some one tried to get me and I ran. If I had gone to any orphanage, they would have found me. That's why I was on the streets and I was no longer the same little girl I was before. That's the way it's been for the last six years," she explained.
"Wait, you were living on the streets since you were twelve?" he questioned.
Caylee looked back at him and nodded.
"Wow, that
Mokuba seemed to get the message that the conversation was closed and nodded.
"I'll be back in a minute," he cried, running out of the kitchen, leaving dust behind him.
Caylee just chuckled at the boy and continued cooking. Mokuba soon rushed back in, holding his laptop and started playing some music on it, leaving it on the kitchen table out of the way.
"Mm, hey Mokie, can I find a song that I want to listen to?" she asked.
Mokuba nodded and brought the computer over to his lap.
"What song?" he asked.
"A song by Ruth Pointer called 'Streets of Gold'," she stated. (AN: This is Oliver and Company version, I like it a whole better, its got more a beat and funk to it)
He found the song and let it play while they continued to cook. She couldn't help but sing along to the song.
We Gotta clean you up child and give
You some on the job training ohhh yea

And if you don't learn, you don't eat.

(Streets of Gold)
Every Boulevard is a miracle mile,
You'll take the town,
And you'll take it with style,
If you play it brave and bold,
These are Streets of Gold.
"Wow, this song is so cool," Mokuba said, jigging in his seat.
She laughed, "This was from a cartoon from when I was younger. I still reckon that it is so true, anyone can live on streets if they learn how to be street smart,"
"Really," he asked.
Caylee nodded.
Listen Here Honey

(Streets of Gold)
Every Boulevard is a miracle mile,
You'll take the town,
And you'll take it with style,
If you play it brave and bold,

As Caylee, placed the cookies in the oven, Mokuba got up and started dancing. She chuckled, clapping in time to the music, encouraging him to continue.

"Go Mokie, go Mokie," she laughed as the song finished.
He just grinned and looked at the oven, "How long until there done?"
"Twenty minutes top," Caylee said.
"Cool," he exclaimed.
She grinned, "Come one kiddo let's go see what mischief we can cause for when your brother comes back,"
Mokuba smirked and Caylee could swear that she saw Seto for a moment in that smirk of his.
Scary much.
"I like your way of thinking Aneki," he smirked.
She grinned evilly, already plotting the many ways to annoy Seto off when he got home.
"I blame Marik and Bakura, they always get me involved in some sort of prank and then I want to do another one later," she explained, running out of the kitchen.
Seto sighed, glad that the day was over.
He hated that he missed out on spending the day with his little brother and Caylee and it was almost turning evening. He was just lucky he hadn't had to stay until midnight to try and fix the problem, using the incentive that the workers pay would be docked until they recovered what they had lost. He smirked at the frantic pace that had occurred after his statement.
He chuckled as walked into the foyer. It was very quiet for the time that it was, especially with two energetic people living in the mansion. He could smell something sweet coming from the kitchen, it was almost heavenly.
On the kitchen table was a plate covered by a tea towel with a note placed on it.
Dear Seto,
The cookies on the plate are called Snicker doodles. We kind of got bored during the day so we did some baking. Depending on what time you arrive home, we'll either be asleep or up to mischief – like always. Enjoy the cookies,
Love Mokuba and Caylee.
Seto couldn't help but smile at the note, picking up one of the Snicker doodles and taking a bite out of it.
He moaned at the taste, it was divine and just melted in his mouth. It was like a pure spoonful of cinnamon sugar had been placed inside his mouth.
Licking his fingers, he sighed and left the kitchen, hoping to unwind from the dramatic day.
Caylee and Mokuba peered from around the corner of the corridor that showed a great view of the door to Seto's room, waiting for the steps to come closer.
"How do you think he'll react?" Caylee whispered, not wanting to give away their position.
"Cursing, then he'll run and try to find us," Mokuba whispered.
"Personally, I think he'll scream at the mess, then curse and shout what he will do to us when he catches us," she countered.
"You want to bet?" Mokuba whispered with a twinkle in his eye.
"Oh you are so on," she whispered.
The steps became noisier as Seto approached his room, he looked exhausted and like he would fall asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. She almost felt bad for messing up his room.
Almost.
The reaction was almost instant.
"WHAT THE HELL ATTACKED MY ROOM!" Seto screamed.
They snickered, holding their hands over their mouths, trying to hold their mirth in. Until they realised that it was too quiet for someone who had just screamed.
They gulped and paled.
"MOKUBA! CAYLEE!" Seto shouted.
They looked at each other and scrambled away from the corridor to any unknown corner of the mansion that they could hide.
Yet Seto's cries could still be heard resonating throughout the whole mansion.
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU TWO, YOU ARE GOING TO SPANKED AND GROUNDED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!"
Caylee just giggled at the thought of being spanked and grounded for the prank.
His reaction was so worth the punishment!
If only he could catch them to hold onto his promise.
Me: Hope you enjoyed the chapter, I wanted Mokuba and Caylee to be a bit cheeky to Seto. Tee hee, couldn't help myself!
Seto: *glares* I hope your going to clean it up now!
Me: Oh stop your complaining, your relationship with Caylee will start to change next chapter.

Caylee: *gulps then runs away*
Seto: Oh Caylee *runs after her*
Me: LOL please read & review!
