A.N. Hey nma5, thanks for reading but I'm a little confused. Why would you think I'm not continuing? I may take long to update, but about every 10 days there will always be a new chapter. Just stay tuned and you won't regret it. I swear on my Levi pillow that I will finish this story. She's my baby and I'm never abandoning it.

16. Enfant terrible

It's not that he was complaining, he would never complain about something like that, but when Kaiba's tongue refused to leave his mouth, Joey couldn't help but wonder the reason for such a wild attack.

"I… needed it."

"Oh, I see. Couldn't wait for some Joey lovin', huh?"

"Agh, how lame are you? I… he… caught me off guard."

"What?"

"Demented me did. I don't wanna say it."

"You… you kissed him?"

Kaiba scowled, annoyed. "You would turn this around, wouldn't you? He k— did it, not me."

"Oh so now you two-time me when I'm not looking? I'm not gonna—"

Kaiba shoved Joey on the bed. "Don't you think you're overreacting just a little? He kissed you twice; if anything, I should be the one who's pissed off. Besides, I got back at him for it."

"Er… well… that…" Kaiba shut him up. After a few minutes, he had a horny smile and a disarrayed wig. "Why were we fighting again?

Kaiba fixed the wig and got up, before things got too hot. "I wasn't fighting with anyone. You were biting my head off reasonless. You—" He stared at something outside the window, unable to move. "No way."

"Kaiba? What is it?"

"It's… Mokuba!"

oOo

A young boy with a Mohawk highlighted in pink, green and purple was standing at the gates. His clothes were ragged, but sort of stylish. He had a piercing on his nose and another in one ear, both connected with a chain. He seemed unsure about whether or not to ring the intercom. Before he could decide, he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around with a closed fist. A silver-haired boy stood on the other side of the gate with a slightly shocked expression.

"Mokuba!"

"What? Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"I… can't… look, don't ring the intercom. Go around the block to the back of the house, there should be a loose brick around the left side of the wall somewhere. Wait for me there." The silver-haired boy started running, following the wall to the back of the mansion.

"Wait! Why should I do that?"

The boy stopped and turned around. "Just do it already! I'll explain there."

Mokuba didn't want to do what that highly suspicious individual was telling him, but who knows, anything to postpone challenging the Master.

oOo

While he ran, Kaiba came to the obvious realisation that that wasn't his house; the loose brick most likely wouldn't be there. But he had to speak to Mokuba somehow.

He looked… nothing like his brother. Even shorter and skinnier, not to mention that gaudy Mohawk and ugly piercings. But the feral look in his eyes was the biggest difference.

So that was how they completed each other? Without Mokuba, he would be a demented, lecherous freak, apparently. And Mokuba without him would turn out to be… a delinquent? Well, but of course the fact that he didn't grow up in luxury had added to that.

When he got there, Mokuba was watching him through a small hole on the wall.

"There wasn't any loose brick. I made this hole with a piece of pipe I found. Now what is it? Tell me who you are!"

"You made… never mind. Listen, Mokuba. I am… no. Did you come to challenge the Master?"

"What's it to you?"

"Please tell me."

For some reason, Mokuba felt compelled to tell him. "I… need the money."

"Why? Did something happen to you?"

"Why do I have to tell you? I don't even know who you are."

Kaiba sighed. "My name's… Kiryu. There. Now tell me."

"I doubt that's really your name. It screams alias."

Okay, so he was bright like his brother. "Just… just tell me and I'll give you this then." He took the deck of Poker cards from his pocket and showed it to Mokuba. "If you know what it is, you know you might get a good deal for it."

Mokuba stared at the deck with wide eyes. "This… this is the Master's deck! Why do you have it? But wait… how do I know it's the real deal?"

Kaiba threw him the deck over the wall. "Check it for yourself."

Mokuba got the deck a moment before it hit him in the head. He was stunned that the other boy just threw it to him, just like that. "Holy shit. You're insane, man!"

Kaiba smiled. "Yeah, maybe I am. Now tell me your story. I don't have much time."

"…Fine, whatever. I'm keeping this."

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay. I need money to put my mom in rehab. And I need a decent place; all these government shithouses I tried did nothing. She would swear she was fine just to fall off the wagon three days later. I need to at least check her in today; I couldn't even wake her up when I left the house. I've never seen her so bad like she is lately. I even made her watch Requiem for a Dream a thousand times, but she laughs and says it's just a movie. Sometimes I feel like punching her so fucking much. Silly old bitch. But if there's one thing you can't do is punch your mother." He finished and took a deep breath.

"I… see. You've really been through a lot. Look, I know you probably won't believe me, but I'll tell you anyway. Do you know the previous Master Seto Kaiba?"

"Yeah, the nutcase. Everyone knows him. He's awesome."

"I'm glad you feel that way because… well, you better sit down for this one. That nutcase is your brother."

"…Ha-ha-ha right. Pull the other one."

"You don't have to believe me right away. I'm here because I'll challenge the Master today, and I'll give the post back to him."

"What? Why would you do that?"

"That's not important right now. The thing is, he knows about you, and he really wants to meet you. When he's the Master again, he'll be able to help you with whatever you need."

"…That would be the greatest news of my life if it was true, but there's no way in hell I can believe you."

"Why would I make this up?"

"I don't know, to fuck with me?"

"I gave you the deck!"

"I… you gotta know how fantastic this sounds, man. Sorry for not believing."

"Fine. Let's make a deal then. You go back home today and make do with the money you'll get from the deck. By tomorrow your brother will be Master again, and he can talk to you. Just come back tomorrow and he'll explain everything to you."

Mokuba thought about the proposition for a while. "Okay. I'll do it. I'll come back tomorrow. And if you're just fucking with me I'll make you feel sorry."

Kaiba smiled. Seeing his little brother speaking like that was disturbing, but strangely adorable on some weird level. "Deal. Now get the hell out of here."

As he watched Mokuba go through the hole on the wall, his smile slowly faded. Wonderful.

~Omake (?)~

Alright, eh… I seem to have forgotten to delete this bit, "You know that." from the previous chapter, when the Kaibas were talking. That was part of a deleted scene that I removed from the story because it kinda… deviated from the subject. A lot. But I still have it right here if you're interested… it's mostly a monologue by our resident crazy boy B. about his… genitalia. Yes.

"Ah, no. This body was made to top, not be topped. You know that. Unless it's you. If it's you, it's okay."

"I know? What do you mean by that?"

"Well…" He opened his yukata, exposing himself completely. "Have you ever seen a dick more magnificent than ours? I mean just look at this beauty. He was born to explore, not to be left aside. He likes… he likes to go on adventures, to discover uncharted territories. To mine on really tight caves." He stroked himself softly, with a loving smile. "He was my first best friend, always cheering me up when I was down. You know, before the Puppy showed up, I never thought I would love someone as much as I love him. But then we met and things got even more interesting. So what do you say we take the expression 'playing with yourself' to a whole new level?" He turned to his double, but the one standing there was Yugi, with a completely horrified look on his face.

"Um, Kaiba could you please cover yourself?"

"Muto? What are you doing here? Where's… uhh… Kiryu?"

"He… left a while ago. I just came back here because I heard you speaking. And now really I wish I hadn't."

"What? Are you saying this dick isn't spectacular? If I could reach it with my mouth, I'd blow myself all day long."

Yugi slammed the door.

+ Duel next chapter. Honest.
