Magician of Khemet: Thank you! And I always do my best to try and keep all of the characters in character! xD Switching between them can be a little hard sometimes since their personalities are so different! Yes, Kaiba did get pretty mean to Yuugi! :( But he'll regret it.

Mad Maggie: Hehe, thank you! That means a lot! :)

FantasyWriter93: I've never mentioned it to you, but I love your reviews! I swear, your guess was pretty accurate it was almost scary. 0.0 And yes I know, Kaiba did change a lot, even with Yuugi there. :P I wonder if he ever will change...

Please review!

Finally shutting his laptop for the night, Kaiba sighed, almost the entire day his mind had been on memories of a lively, happy, and joyous young boy. He had run around in his mind all day, unable to leave him alone and let him barely get any work done. Kaiba didn't understand this, why Yuugi was suddenly coming back into his mind again after so many years, what triggered this? Was it fate?

Kaiba glared to himself instantly, he would never believe In something as ridiculous as fate. He controlled his life, not some writing on a fortune cookie. He thought about Yuugi because deep down, he must wonder where he was. Did Yuugi even still live in Domino? Maybe he had moved within the years, maybe he'd found someone else to spend his life with. For all Kaiba knew, he could be married.

That thought somehow fueling rage, Kaiba stood brashly from his chair, the force sending it backwards slightly. He picked up his laptop, practically throwing it onto his suitcase that sat dormant on the floor all day since he had arrived early that same morning. Kaiba stomped it closed with his foot, then bent down to secure it shut by the two locks near the handle.

Once the suitcase was in his hand, his eyes strayed to the digital clock on his desk, it's blue numbers reading exactly eleven pm. This was actually not that late for Kaiba, on some nights he would stay at the latest, one am. He didn't even feel tired, but he knew if he stayed too late then Mokuba would worry himself sick. He never liked it when he stayed late, so Kaiba tried his best to get back before his younger brother had gone to bed. Although, often when he did get home, Mokuba was just asleep on the couch, forcing Kaiba the task of getting him to bed.

Before he left, Kaiba turned to the window that took up the entire back wall of his office. He had the whole city in his gaze, he could see practically everything, all of the bright neon and traffic lights, the cars, even some blurred bodies running down the streets at this late hour. He had no idea what anyone could be doing this late at night, but then again he didn't really care. He never enjoyed just walking around Domino without a true purpose. That was just a waste of time, he could be working, being productive.

KaibaCorp was the tallest building, making every other building look as inferior to him as they were. He practically ran this city, he owned everything, he had everything that anyone would ever want.

Turning away, he clenched the handle of the metal briefcase tight in his grasp. He had everything, but one thing, the one thing that had been on his mind all day. He didn't understand why Yuugi was suddenly so important to him, and why he thought of Yuugi as a possession, but he quickly pushed the thoughts out of his head. He didn't need Yuugi, he'd be just fine without him, after all he had been for the past three years. What could possibly change that?

Yuugi had been the one to walk out on him, he wasn't about to go searching for him despite the fact that he thought about him so much, it meant nothing. He would live without Yuugi, and he planned too. He didn't need him. Where ever Yuugi was now he was fine, he had his own life, separate from his, and that was how it would stay.

Kaiba looked up to his door and began walking steadily towards it, in no serious rush.

As soon as he reached his door and had a hand reached towards the door handle, behind him the moon shone through the clouds that had been hiding it, creating his tall shadow on the door. Kaiba glanced back one last time to the window, seeing the bright full moon staring back at him now. Without a second thought he left his office, shutting the door behind him with a light thud.

Outside his office, he descended down the desolate, barren hallway, it was never really filled with life during the day either, but at night it felt even more empty. The only light came from the windows on the sides of him, a feeling like the moon was following him grew.

Turning a corner, for the first time he saw two men exiting an office. Normally he was the only one who stayed this late, so it was a change to see others still here as well. He did not plan on making his presence known at hearing them begin a very interesting conversation.

"I'm gonna head over to Tao, you want to come?"

"Nah, it's already late."

"You sure? They got free drinks tonight."

"Really? Then I guess I could go for awhile."

"That's what I'm talking about!"

They both laughed for a moment before walking down the rest of the hallway, Kaiba waited in the darkness until they had gone down the elevator before continuing on. Tao, he knew that was some sort of club, but he had never been to one. That wasn't exactly his thing, but after the day he'd had, a free drink didn't sound too bad. Although, he did know that this certain club was a strip club. The last place he wanted to be was surrounded by hookers. But the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to just drink away his problem, the problem being Yuugi. And if the drinks were free, what really was he losing?

Inside the elevator, which was lit by panels of light hidden in the corners of the small square, Kaiba pressed the illuminated level one or lobby button. Once he did, he had to wait a few short seconds before the metal elevator doors clamped shut and he was shot downwards in a jolt. All the while his mind weighing the pro's and con's of going to a strip club just to get a drink.

The thought of walking into a place like that completely revolted him, he couldn't even imagine the kind of people that hung around places like that, or what it might smell like. He neither really wanted to see his employees there either, but he knew he wouldn't spend much time there. All he would do was have a quick drink, then leave. It might be something he needed to change up his everyday routine of going straight back to the mansion.

As soon as the elevator came to a halt and the doors opened before him, Kaiba walked through the abandoned lobby. The only sound he heard was the steps of his own black and blue strapped boots against the tile. His eyes trained forward to the exit, beyond that he could see the two other employees just pulling their car away from the side of the road since KaibaCorp's parking lot was only reserved for the higher up's, most importantly him.

Kaiba pushed open the glass door to greet the nightfall, the air was crisp and cold, refreshing from the stale air of the building he'd spent his day in. The moon still illuminated the nighttime sky, giving him a pale light with which able to see his own two feet. Without it, he barely would have been able to step down the few steps away from the building and cross all the way over to the parking lot.

His black expensive car was all that was left in the almost vacant lot, with the hand that wasn't holding his briefcase, he dug through his pants pocket to pull out his keys. When standing at the driver's door, he unlocked the car then opened it. He placed his briefcase in the passenger's seat then got into the car, shutting the door after him. Kaiba put the key's into the ignition and started the car, once it was brought to life, the headlights shone brightly in front of the car enabling him to see even clearer. He decided he'd stop by that club, it wasn't like he had anything better to do, so why the hell not?

xXxXx

Right when Kaiba walked into the club, he was actually surprised. It wasn't as run down, and trashy as he had once thought. Despite the strange smell, it wasn't a complete dump. The décor was very modern, the only colors used were black and white, with some blue neon lights here and there. The style definitely matched with the obnoxious techno music that vibrated throughout the entire building. He swore he could feel the floor shake every time the bass was increased dramatically in a song, which was nearly every single one of them.

Kaiba moved from the entrance towards the bar, ignoring the men that were tumbling over their own feet and the slutty dressed woman who would constantly give him looks. Every once in awhile he'd see a man dressed more or less in the way of one of the slutty women, but completely ignored them. He wasn't interested in taking anyone home or seeing any kind of prostitute, he'd never sink to such a pathetic level.

He sat himself down on one of the black barstools, and the bartender was with him within only a few moments.

"What can I get for you?" he questioned. His voice rugged and husky.

Ignoring the sleeve of tattoo's up the man's arm, he gave him one of his famous glares. "Whatever is free, that's the only reason I came here."

"Alright, I got it." he remarked, walking off to ready Kaiba's drink.

As soon as the man left, Kaiba felt a presence next to him, barely wanting to look, he turned his head slightly to see a young woman standing next to him. He inwardly cussed, why were sluts so relentless?

Right when she opened her mouth and lifted her hand to almost touch him, Kaiba turned his head slightly more towards her to intensify his glare.

"Don't even. I'm not interested." he snapped at her hastily. The sooner she left the better.

She stared at him stupidly for a moment before shrugging and walking away. Kaiba almost never more happy to be rid of someone than ever before. He knew that would have happened if he came here, it wasn't his fault that men and woman were just attracted to him.

"Here ya are, on the house."

Kaiba turned forward again to see the drink placed in front of him. He nodded once to the man before picking up the drink and taking a small sip just to make sure it wasn't completely appalling. The taste was one he couldn't identify, but it wasn't unpleasant. He took another short drink before turning to look around the room again, there were many different levels and places to just sit. In the middle of the building though was a large dance floor, that was where most people where. Blue neon lights winded around all of the moving bodies that danced to the loud music.

He didn't take much interest in any of them, but beyond that, he spotted something a little bit more interesting. There was a boy sitting on a white couch beyond the dance floor, on one of the higher up levels. Next to him were two other women who looked like they worked here. They appeared to be speaking to themselves and completely ignoring the boy who sat staring down at his feet.

Kaiba wasn't sure if it was because of the alcohol or the fact that he hadn't seen that boy in three years, it took him much too long to register in his brain that was Yuugi. That boy dressed in reviling, tight leather clothing was once a boy of complete innocence. Even though Kaiba wasn't looking at his face, he could see his spirit was broken, and that his happy, joyous, and pure qualities were gone. What was left was an empty shell, just the way he was sitting, he looked so pathetic.

Instantly a rush of guilt poured through Kaiba faster than the alcohol. He turned towards the bartender, got his attention, and waited impatiently to be approached.

"What?" he asked rudely. There was an empty glass in his hand, and he was using a white towel to clean the inside thoroughly though his eyes not left Kaiba's.

"Can you buy anyone who works here?" Kaiba snapped hurriedly. He didn't exactly know what he was thinking right now, but the words seemed to just flow out of his mouth. Unable to stop them.

The man studied him a moment, then glanced down to the glass. Apparently it was clean enough since he removed his hand from inside the glass to place down on the top of the bar. He then threw the towel over his shoulder and crossed his arms. "I'm not the one to ask that. I don't know anything about how that part of this club works, I was only hired to make drinks and listen to the petty problems of whoever came around."

Kaiba glared at him, not appreciating his foul tone of voice. Obviously this scum had no idea who he was. "Then tell me who I can talk to." Kaiba barked back just as rudely if not a little bit more. How dare this man talk to him in such a way, if he wanted to play that game, Kaiba could right back.

He looked away from Kaiba, studied their surroundings, then pointed off behind Kaiba who turned to see who he was pointing at.

"That's the manager, go talk to him, he'll tell you what you want to know." he stated then lowered his finger and turned back to work.

Kaiba stood, leaving his drink abandoned where he had been sitting. The bartender had pointed to a man conversing with another, older looking man. Again having to ignore anyone who tried to approach him, Kaiba only had one focus on his mind.

Once standing next to him, the other man he'd been speaking with had walked away, allowing the manager to turn and give him a dangerous, almost evil smile. This man was about as tall as himself with long black hair tied back into a slick ponytail. His eyes sharp and bright silver, Kaiba automatically didn't like this man at all, he didn't trust him.

"How can I help you?" he questioned almost sarcastically, moving one hand to wrap around his opposite arm and look Kaiba over once.

"I want to know if I can buy him for a night." Kaiba told him before turning slightly to point over at Yuugi who still sat in the same position as a few minutes ago. Kaiba could barely stand to look at him, something tugged at his heart each time. When Kaiba looked back at the man, he was glaring.

"What about someone else? Say one of the woman sitting next to him? They're much better." he explained, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

"I want him." Kaiba stated strongly. Glaring right back at him for trying to change his decision. He didn't know why he would do that, but it didn't matter, he'd be taking Yuugi home with him no matter what. He had to speak with him and this clearly was the only way. Just going up and talking with him was out of the question, first trying that in a place like this would be ridiculous. The music was way too loud and the last thing he wanted were hookers walking around while he was trying to speak with Yuugi.

Second was he had no idea how Yuugi was going to react to seeing him again, he didn't know if he'd try to run away, he wouldn't allow that. He didn't want Yuugi to run away from him ever again. The best option was to take Yuugi home and talk with him, at least there they would have some privacy.

The man held up his hands in mocking surrender, Kaiba was beginning to loathe this man. He was completely mocking him.

"Alright! Alright! So you want that stupid runt do you? Well you're the first." he stated then laughed coldly. "Since he's so pathetic, how about I let you take him for only fifty? I feel generous tonight anyways." The man explained, smirking at Kaiba with his head tilted slightly.

Kaiba glared as he pulled out his wallet, opening it and handing the man a fifty.

He looked over the money for a moment before stuffing it into his coat pocket. The smirk almost seemed to grow. "I'll go get him, it was a pleasure doing business with you." he remarked as he walked off.

Kaiba watched him the whole time, when he got to Yuugi, Kaiba's fists for some reason bundled when he saw him pull Yuugi up by his hair and begin shoving Yuugi in his direction. By now he felt like he had a million reasons to hate that man, at least after this he would never see him again. This would be the last time he came here.

He still couldn't wrap his head around that Yuugi actually worked in a place like this, that he was selling his body in such a way. Only three years ago he'd been so different, and looking at him now, it was like it wasn't even the same boy. Like Yuugi had been stripped of everything he once was and degraded to having to work here. Kaiba had to get to the bottom of this, he had to find out how this all happened.
