Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter. Again, I don't own nothin', you hear. If I did.... well, let's get on with the story.

~*~*~

Chapter 4

Soon the others followed and everyone except the Kaiba boys was amazed. True to what the girl said, there was a white dragon on the building. The entrance rug had the dragon with a white lighting coming out of its mouth. When they entered the hotel, everything was white and blue. There were statues, paintings and even had a casino with the dragon above the entrance.

"Oh," Lucia started.

"Kami," Hannon added.

"This," Rina continued.

"Place," Karen proceeded.

"Is," Noel went on.

"Absolutely," Coco added after.

"Gorgeous." The girls said in unison.

"We get it all the time, but flattery never hurt anyone." Seto said, walking in while flipping his hair.

"How rich are you to make this hotel?" Seira asked as she walked in.

"Seira! It's not polite to ask about financial issues." Noel scolded as the others followed.

"It's okay. I like to brag anyways. This is only five percent of the money made from my company, Kaiba Corp."

"Wow." Seira voiced as she walked around.

"You haven't seen anything yet. You're just looking at the lobby. You should see the hallways, the elevators, the rooms and even the bathrooms. Heck, we even have private pools for each person." Mokuba added. In the mermaids' minds:

Private Pools?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

"That is so extravagant." Noel exclaimed, tripping over her own two feet to hold onto one of the statues, which freaked her out. She screamed and hid behind Karen while stared uneasily at the statue. Seto merely chuckled at that.

"What's with all the stuff with this dragon? What's so special about it?" Lucia asked, looking closely at the statue Noel held onto.

"This dragon is called the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. This is nii-sama's favorite card and he bases almost everything about it." Mokuba explained.

"I can sort of understand that, but don't you think this a little too obsessive? I mean if he had even boxers with this dragon then he'd go beyond that." Seira commented. Seto turned away and Mokuba laughed a bit. "He does? Then he really overdid it."

"Anyway, Mokuba will help you register then go to your rooms. I have a meeting now so I'll be leaving. Mokuba will be your guide here and if you have any questions, ask him." Seto said as he left.

"C'mon, the check-in desk is over here." Mokuba said as he directed them to the desk.

Seira walked next to Mokuba and was looking around when she tripped over one of her bags. She closed her eyes and readied a hard fall but none came. She opened her eyes to see two arms around her waist that pulled her up. She turned to see Mokuba caught her.

"A-arigatuo Mokuba." She thanked, blushing. He nodded his head and let go once she was at her feet, blushing as well. The others had witnessed it and they had different reactions.

"I cannot believe Seira-san let him touch her. This is going to be bad." Hippo commented. Luckily, since there were many people checking in or out, no one noticed the penguin speak.

"Hippo, don't think like that. Seira could have hurt herself if he didn't catch her." Lucia replied.

"But Lucia-san," Hippo was about to reply the young girl Seira had the private conversation with entered the hotel.

She saw Mokuba and cried out, "Mokie-kins!" Mokuba paled a bit as she ran towards him. Seira heard the girl and turned only to crash into her. "Watch where you're going!" the girl exclaimed.

"Excuse me, but you're the one who ran into me." Seira snapped back as she got up.

"Next time watch it."

"Rebecca, what do you want?" Mokuba asked, droning with no emotion like he had done it many times before.

Rebecca turned her attention back to Mokuba and replied, "Can't I say hello to my Mokie-kins?" she asked, pinching his cheek. When she let go, Mokuba rubbed his cheek and she continued. "Anyway, I was wondering what you want to me to our date."

"Date? What date? We're not going out." Mokuba asked. She giggled.

"Silly Mokie-kins, when you win the tournament tomorrow, I'm taking you out on a date as a victory dinner." She giggled again.

Seira stepped in and asked, "Who said he would agree to it? Did you even consider his opinion on it or are you just trying to scare him?"

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?" Rebecca asked, poking Seira in the chest after every word she said, making Seira fall. Rebecca sneered at her as she looked down at the girl.

"Leave her alone, Rebecca. Besides, I'm not entering." Mokuba said.

"What? But you've been training for five years Mokie-kins. Let me guess, you're older brother said you can't cause it's costing the company?" Rebecca asked.

"Don't you know it's rude to talk about someone's financial issues or is this how you normally act?" Seira asked, using Noel's comment against the girl. Rebecca stepped back, growled at this.

"Smart comeback." Noel commented.

"It's because she got that from you, isn't it?"

"Duh."

"Break it up you two." Masahiro said as he kept Rebecca and Seira from killing each other.

"Then tell her to stay away from Mokie-kins!" Rebecca stated.

"First of all, I don't seem to recall being your Mokie-kins. Second, don't call me Mokie-kins. It's too…"

"Lovey-dovey?" Lucia asked.

"Gay?" Rina added.

"Weird?" Noel interjected.

"Creepy?" Coco suggested.

"Possessive?" Kaito pointed out.

"Stalker status?" Karen urged.

"Annoying?" Seira asked.

"I was going for gross, but those work too. Third, you have no right to say who can or can't hang out with me. Fourth, don't you like Yugi?"

"I used to but ever since the whole Dartz thing, I'm so over him." Rebecca answered.

"Anyway, the last thing is that I'm going to be helping her out for the next two months she's staying here." Mokuba finished.

"Well fine. But if I catch you getting too close to Mokie-kins, I'll skin you alive." Rebecca huffed as she stormed out of the hotel.

A minute of silence…

"That was…" Lucia started.

"Scary?" Hannon suggested.

"Awkward?" Rina advised.

"Life-threatening?" Seira asked.

"Rude?" Karen urged.

"Obsessive?" Noel recommended.

"Mentally deranged teaming up with space monkeys from another universe that are trying to invade the Earth?" Everyone turned their heads and stared at Coco. "What?"

"You have got to lay off the comic books." Karen commented as Coco stuck out her tongue.

"It's not comic books."

"C'mon. I checked you guys in so I'll show you to your rooms." Mokuba said.

"Room 2324." Mokuba said to Seira when they reached her room.

He already escorted the others to their rooms so he and Seira were the only ones left. Inside her room were a six-poster bed with orange sheets and pillows, several bright orange and yellow plush chairs and a love-seat with assorted pillows, a plasma screen TV with game stations in the drawers underneath the TV and a big window with a view of the ocean. There were two doors, Seira guessed to a closet and bathroom. There was even a mini fridge in the room. Seira first checked the fridge to see there were no alcoholic drinks inside, but various sodas with light snacks.

"How many floors are in here?" Seira asked.

"Approximately 30 floors. This hotel is for all families and people for businesses." Mokuba answered as he walked in as well.

"But how can they afford this? This place looks like it's for…"

"If you're thinking about your rooms, yours are first class. The others are still nice, but not as extravagant as yours." Mokuba interrupted.

Seira nodded her head and walked over to the window. She sat down on the window seat and looked down. Below she saw people on the beach having fun, swimming and playing on the beach. But the ocean was filled with surfers. From beginners to experts, all doing various stunts and tricks.

"Why are there so many surfers here?"

"They're here for the competition tomorrow. The tournament is being held at this beach so if you don't go to the beach…"

"Who said I wouldn't? I'm still cheering Kaito-kun on."

"I meant was other than for the tournament and you want to leave but can't, you still have a pretty good view up here." Mokuba rephrased as he sat down next to her, unknowingly put his hand over hers. She noticed it and blushed.

There was a moment of silence and Mokuba was about to leave when Seira asked, "Do you want to stay a little longer? I mean that's if you don't have anything else to do." She added, blushing a little bit.

"Sure. I mean, nii-sama's gonna be back late tonight so I don't really have much to do." Mokuba said as she sat down on her bed, Mokuba following.

"Hey Mokuba, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"I told you that you could ask me anything."

"It's a kind of personal question for you. What was up with that girl, Rebecca?"

"Well, she is the granddaughter of Professor Hopkins, one of our professors working on some Ancient Egyptian ruins. Anyway, I thought she had a crush on nii-sama's rival, Mutou Yugi, for some time. I didn't know she had a crush on me until a few weeks ago, when she started calling me 'Mokie-kins'. Seriously, what kind of girl calls a boy a lovey-dovey name like that?"

"Someone they like."

"But would you ever call someone you like that kind of nickname?"

"Well I don't know. I've never really… fallen in love with anyone. I mean, I haven't met anyone that interested me."

"Oh."

Another awkward moment of silence…

"Why aren't you going to enter? I mean, Kaito-kun is entering and from what I've heard, you've been training for five years."

"Well, nii-sama said I had to help you guys and all…"

"But that still means you can enter."

"But nii-sama…"

"If your brother loves you then he should let you continue with your dream." Seira interrupted. He was silent for a while before Seira continued, "Besides, I'm sure you'll do great. I'll cheer you on."

"I thought you said…"

"Can't I cheer two people on?"

"I guess. You know what, how about I give you a personal tour around the city? And after the tour, we'll stop for lunch, take a walk on the beach and call it a day." Mokuba realized what he was asking of her and blushed. "I mean… that's if you want to cause…"

"That'd be great." Seira said, grabbing her purse and quickly asked, "Is it alright if the others come?"

"Sure. Ask them."

---

"Where do you want to go first?" Mokuba asked as the two stepped out of the hotel.

"I don't know why the others didn't want to come." Seira asked.

"Maybe they want to do other things other than a tour."

"What's the best place to be in your opinion?"

"That'd probably be either the Game Shop or the Domino City Museum."

"Which one's closer?"

"How about the Game Shop first then the museum on our way back? The museum is closer."

"Okay, I guess." Seira said as she and Mokuba entered his limo.

"Where to sir?"

"The Game Shop." As the limo started moving, Seira sat excitedly by the window, looking out in awe at the city. Mokuba chuckled a bit. "Never been in a limo before?"

"Only a few times. But I've never seen such a big city in my entire life." Seira replied.

---

She watched people walking around, eating, shopping or just plain chatting with one another. Seira watched in amazement and when the limo stopped in front of the Game Shop, she got out and stood on the opposite side of the street. She saw a beautiful dress she liked in the store behind her. As Mokuba looked ahead, she turned around and gazed at the dress in the window.

It was a strapless orange ball gown with oriented flowers on the bodice. The skirt was a ball gown pick-up skirt with ribbons going down the skirt. It was placed on a manikin that had an orange and gold charm bracelet with seashells and other charms related to the sea. Around the neck was a necklace with a seashell on it.

Mokuba looked around to see Seira wasn't with him until he also turned to see the girl looking at a dress. He surprised her when he commented, "You like that dress?"

"Well, yes I do. But I don't think I can afford it."

"How much does it cost?"

"From the tag, the dress costs about nine hundred thousand yen." Seira sighed but then her face brightened up.

"C'mon, I wanna see this Game Shop you were saying is great." Seira changed the subject as she grabbed his hand as they ran across the street. Mokuba blushed when they held hands, but Seira didn't seem to notice.
