CHAPTER 12 BITCHES. LOOK AT ME I'M ON A ROLL. (And I'm crazy sleep deprived….) This chapter is kinda short, and kinda filler-filled. But it moves the plot forward :) Read and review! According to my stats 50 people have read this story today, and only one reviewed. Shame on you other 49!

Disclaimer: Don't own. Clearly. Still not really sure why they make us do this.

Chapter 12

Kaibaland was a flurry of activity. Bright lights flashed at high frequencies, creating a strobe-like effect. Screams could be heard from all the rides, including the newest one, named "Dueling Dragons" which involved two racing coasters, one a white and blue dragon and the other a black and red. They were supposed to win equal amounts of races each, but Joey had nagged Kaiba to program it so red-eyes had the greater probability of being the victor. Of course Kaiba had acquiesced.

Mokuba dragged the group over to a kiosk selling harujuku brand clothing, all the while bouncing like a five year old who had eaten a few too many candy bars. While they were standing in line, Kaiba's cell rang. Joey glared at him reproachfully and he turned it off.

"You promised not to let business get in the way of Joey-Seto time," the blond reminded him.

"Sorry, I forgot it was on," He resisted the urge to kiss Joey in apology, as their relationship was not yet publicly known. He settled to squeezing Joey's hand. The blond grinned.

"Hey big brother, what do you think of this sweatshirt" Mokuba interrupted. Kaiba and Joey turned their attentions to the younger boy. Joey stifled a giggle at Mokuba's choice of a teal blue with rainbow dots and heart shaped zippers.

"Ah, um, you know that's a girl's sweat shirt, right?" The elder Kaiba asked, somewhat uncomfortably.

"I like it," Miles said, grinning. "It compliments your eyes."

This time Joey failed to contain his laughter.

"Righty then," Kaiba said, "If that's your choice then I'm completely fine with it." Everyone knew he wasn't referring to the hoodie.

"Thanks big brother!" Mokuba cried, hugging the tall brunet around the waist. He purchased the sweatshirt and then ran off, hand in hand with Miles, to get in line for the scrambler.

Sending the body guard Roland to stay with the younger Kaiba, the three older boys headed over to the Dueling Dragons. They slipped into the VIP entrance, allowing them to cut to the front of the line. Kaiba went to the front car of blue eyes, while Joey and Ryou boarded the other dragon, the blond vowing that he "would beat Kaiba—or else". Kaiba chuckled, doubting that the "or else" would consist of anything worse than being forced to cuddle all night, something he had no problem with whatsoever.

The cars rolled forward toward the starting gate. Joey flashed Kaiba a smile and a thumbs up. Kaiba grinned back.

The automated voice came through the speakers inside the car, "Good luck, duelists, prepare for battle in 5-4-3—" the countdown was misleading, at three the cars shot forward, powered by quickly changing electromagnets that pulled them forward by reversing their charge one after the other. Kaiba relished in the screams around him; again, his genius was successful.

The cars neared the blinking finish line, with red-eyes barely hanging on to the lead. Kaiba looked over to the other car where Joey was screaming along with the rest of the passengers, wildly cheering their dragon to go faster.

And of course red-eyes won, as Kaiba knew it would all along, having checked with the operators beforehand. As he exited the ride, Joey ran up to him. "Take that, moneybags," he said, jokingly, "I told you my red-eyes would beat you eventually."

"I never doubted you," Kaiba said with a smirk, receiving a playful clout to the head.

Meanwhile at the Kaiba mansion, Crow was having just as much fun. He and Silas reached the first level of the basement, which was clear of guards but for one, who was snoozing at his desk. They silently went to the wall where the fuse box that controlled the entire house was concealed. Slowly sliding the latch to the side, they opened the door and searched for the switch to turn off power to the alarm. The fuse wouldn't turn off the motion or heat detectors, merely the sound they made. Once they flipped it off, they continued to the lower level to cut the circuit on the detectors. Like most security systems, when the circuit was cut without the password being entered by the owner, the alarms would sound, alerting of an unauthorized breach. With power to the alarms turned off, no one would know that security was disabled, and the rest of the gang would be free to enter and destroy the Kaibas.

Before advancing any further on the lower level, they checked the laptop for guards. Silas nearly blew their cover when he saw Davey making monkey faces at the camera in his holding cell. Crow clamped a hand over his mouth, glaring. Silas mouthed an apology, and they exited from the shadows, creeping along the wall.

There was only one guard watching the camera feeds, in the room where the cut off for the security was. Crow pulled a rock from his pocket and threw it hard across the basement so that it knocked an urn off a table. The guard leapt up and ran in the direction of the noise, gun out. Silas ran forward also and quickly turned off the security system. By the time the perplexed guard made his way to their side of the room, they were up the stairs and back on the main floor of the house.

Crow called to the other gang members to enter the grounds, while he and Silas made their way to the second floor. The others would make off with the valuables while they searched for Kaiba's deepest darkest secrets.
