Hello everyone! I extremely apologize for being so late to update! I was really focussed on school and stuff! Thank you all for being so patient and giving me reviews! Here is another chapter, sorry for being so short!

Jonouchi may not know much, but there are a few things in life he knew like the back of his hand. Things such as getting out of a tough situation, and knowing when to trust his instincts. Also, he could sense a small change in a certain someone, and that someone, was his little sister, Shizuka.
Jonouchi was busy washing the dishes when all of the sudden, he saw the front door open and in walked in his sister. He watched her close the door and begins to head towards her room. Her eyes widened in surprise as she noticed her brother in the kitchen washing the dishes. She smiled, "Ah! Hello Jou! I almost didn't see you there! How was your day?"
Her brother returned the smile, "Ah, it was good. How 'bout yours?"
Shizuka only nodded, "It was good."
She then headed towards her room.
Although Shizuka did not know it, but Jonouchi can sense that something more than 'good' happened. He didn't know what, but he just knew. Jonouchi can tell, he hasn't seen his sister like that in a long time. His sister, looking so relaxed, looking lighter, almost like some of the weight has gotten off her shoulders.
He was happy.
Whatever happened today, Jonouchi thanked the gods that it happened. Hopefully, sooner or later, he and his family will see the old Shizuka back.
On the other side of the town, all the employees of Kaibacorp had gone home. Except for one person, this person paced back and forth in his office in deep thought, his mind replaying the moments that had happened earlier that day.
She really had no idea that it was me, right? Kaiba thought to himself for the second time. As soon as he thought it, he couldn't help but to laugh.
"What am I thinking?" he thought out loud, "Of course she hasn't!"
He made sure, she couldn't. Before he went into the world as Seiichi Inoue, Kaiba thought a perfect background story, and he repeated and repeated Seiichi's story to that it could become second nature to him. Shizuka was the perfect Guinea pig to test his experiment.
He even asked himself questions in case anyone asked or gotten suspicious.
What is his name? Easy. Seiichi Inoue.
Occupation? Cool. He is a staff captain at a cruise ship. He would say he comes and goes from Japan every two weeks. Which would cover his excuse as to why he wouldn't be around much, in case he gets extremely busy with Kaibacorp.
Age? He decided to keep his age, which is 22.
Personality? Kaiba decided to keep his personality the same. If he really wanted to find a woman who would be truly interested in himself, he just needed to be himself. So far, that seems to be the only story that he needed to far. And Shizuka did not suspect a thing!
He couldn't help but to smile at himself. He was a genius. A true genius with natural talent.
His mind decided to reminisce the moment he had lunch with Shizuka. He couldn't help but to notice how down to earth Shizuka really is. She was very easy to talk to, despite her shyness. What amazed him the most is that not once did she mentioned that she worked at Kaibacorp. He sat on his chair, pondering on what she had said.
"Where do you work at?"
Shizuka shyly took a sip of her water and then said, "Oh, I'm a just a secretary."
AS far as he had heard, many of his employees were proud to work at Kaibacorp. Even to the point that they boast about it. Why didn't she say it? Why didn't she say she worked for him?
Kaiba scoffed, for whatever her reason is, it wasn't his business. The only thing that mattered was that he managed to fool Shizuka.
He should do it again. He felt the thrill of this challenge boiling inside him. He was in no way interested in Pegasus' challenge. He is only filling up his curiosity. Plus, it was also a new and interesting way to challenge himself.
Satisfied, Kaiba began to gather his things and head for home, as he was about to step out of his office he suddenly remembered something.
His brother.
How could he forget about him?
Kaiba hesitated at the door. How could he have forgotten about him? Mokuba, what would he think of all this?
Kaiba scoffed. There was no way Mokuba would get mad at him. It wasn't like he actually is accepting Pegasus' test. This was his own experiment; he would eventually plan to tell everything to his brother. Of all the other people, Mokuba would understand. Kaiba had nothing to worry about. Mokuba would understand.
Kaiba turned the knob at his door and left his office.
Ah, yes, I'm still not liking where this story is going. I'm very frustrated with myself. Ah well, please read and review! :)
