Eiko walked across the snow-covered ground. It was only the being of December, but snow had already covered the ground in a clean white blanket. Eiko couldn't help but smile; she loved snow ever since she was little. Eiko wasn't quite sure why, maybe it was how the snow sparked in the sunlight, or how serene it looked when it fell. For whatever reason Eiko loved it. Eiko knocked on the door of the Kaiba mansion she waited a moment. A maid with curly black hair answered the door,

"Oh, Miss Tsubaki. Please come in." Eiko walked inside, she took off her boots and her coat and headed towards the living room. Mokuba sat on the couch with a frustrated look on his face.

"Come on Seto, pick up!" Mokuba muttered to himself. Mokuba was looking down at his phone, which was clutched in his hands.

"Hay Mokuba," Eiko said walking over. She leaned over placing her hands on her knees, "I thought we would go sledding today. It snowed last night and there's a lot of it! Hay maybe Seto could join us-" Eiko then relised that Mokuba wasn't lisining. "Mokuba…" Eiko said he voice tinted with worry, "what's up?"

"Seto wont answer his phone!" Mokuba exclaimed not bothering to look up from his hands.

"Was he supposed to call you or something?" Eiko asked.

"No, I woke up this morning and he wasn't here! I called his office but he wasn't there either! And now…." Mokuba said his voice trailing. Eiko placed her hands on Mokuba's shoulders,

"Don't worry Mokuba, I'm sure we'll find him, I mean he couldn't of gone far. Right?" Eiko said optimistically. Mokuba looked up at Eiko he smiled,

"Yeah, I guess you're right," his face then became serious. "But we have to find him soon," he said grabbing a stack of papers off the cushion beside him. "Zigfreid up to his old tricks again," Mokuba said looking at the papers.

"What do you mean?" Eiko asked.

"He's been buying up Kaiba Corp. Sock at an alarming rate," Mokuba said. "And I cant figure out why!" it was easy to tell that this was frustrating Mokuba.

"Well than lets go look for Seto," Eiko said smiling. "Now, if he's not at work and not at home were would he be?" Eiko asked Mokuba hoping that it would narrow down their search. Mokuba thought for a bit, a worried look came across his face.

"Oh please don't tell me he…" Mokuba started to say. He suddenly jumped up and ran out of the room.

"Mokuba were are you going?" Eiko called after him. She ran to catch up to him. She found him in the main entranceway putting on boots and a coat. Eiko quickly did the same. The two ran outside were a limo driver was waiting for them.

"Well hello Master Mokuba, Miss Tsubaki," the driver said as the two entered the vehicle.

"Hi Sugisaki," Mokuba said. "I need you to get us to the hanger as quickly as possible." He said quickly.

"Alright, the hanger it is," Sugisaki said. The car propelled forward, Eiko turned to Mokuba,

"The hanger?" she asked confused, "like were you keep plains and stuff?" she asked. Mokuba nodded eagerly,

"That's were we keep all the planes," Mokuba explained. "And Seto's personal jet," he continued.

"Seto has his own personal fighter?" Eiko said taken aback.

"Yup," Mokuba replied and they were off.

The two soon arrived at the hanger, which Eiko discovered quickly, was huge.

"There must be a hundred planes here!" Eiko exclaimed as they exited the car.

"Maybe more," Mokuba said getting out of the car. "We have plains and jets used for company affairs, some old fighter plains from when the company made stuff like that, and of coerce the Duel Blimp used in battle city."

"Of coerce," Eiko said "no hanger is complete without a duel blimp," Eiko said sarcastically.

"That's what I always say!" Mokuba said even more sarcastically. The two laughed at the ridiculousness of it all.

"Ah Master Kaiba, its good to see you," a man in a pilots suit said. "We've just finished clearing the runway if you'd like go for a ride" he said smiling.

"Not today Hitoshi," Mokuba's face became serious, "is my brothers jet here?" he asked.

"Um, well Master Mokuba…. You see it seems that your brother took the jet out for a while, but I'm sure he'll be back soon…." Eiko could tell that there was something wrong, but she had a felling Mokuba was better off not hearing it.

"See Mokuba, Seto just went out for a bit. He'll be back soon," Eiko said trying as hard as she could to keep a strait face. Mokuba didn't look satisfied.

"Ok, can I see the location if his fighter then?" Mokuba asked he arms crossed. Eiko was confused, "we have GPS locaters in every plain here so we know exactly were they are." Mokuba explained in a matter-of-fact tone, it was more aimed at the pilot than it was Eiko. The pilot was silent for a second, a look of defeat spread across his face,

"To tell you the truth, we…. Don't exactly know were his fighter plain is…" Mokuba waited for an explanation. "It seems that Mr. Kaiba disconnected his GPS system. Actually he destroyed it,"

"Destroyed it? How?" Eiko asked.

"Well he found a way to actually pry the system out of his dashboard, from what I can tell with a screwdriver." Everyone was quiet for a moment, "I'm not very surprised," the pilot continued, "he's very good with his hands."

"Hitoshi," when exactly did my brother take out the fighter?" Mokuba said his voice tense.

"Um, 11:30 a night sir…" he said his voice getting quiet. Mokuba and Eiko's eyes got big.

"But it was snowing then!" Eiko exclaimed, "and not lightly either," her voice clearly showed her worry.

"And it's almost impossible to fly with ought navigational systems!" Mokuba continued.

"Don't worry don't worry," the pilot said trying to calm the two down. "Like I said he's very good with his hands. He only took out the tracking device, from what we can tell he still has all other systems online." His face became serious, "but your right, it's not safe to fly in snow, especially with the storm we got last night. We've been asking other nearby airports if they've seen him but no on has." Mokuba and Eiko were quiet, not sure what to say. Mokuba started to walk back to the car,

"Tell me if you guys get anymore information on my brother,"

"Of core Master Mokuba," the pilot said. He then walked away. Eiko looked at Mokuba, 'this can't be easy for him,' she thought to herself. 'Seto why did you do this? And why did you not tell Mokuba!' Eiko was annoyed, Seto use to always look out for Mokuba. Now he was leaving him alone to fend for himself and Seto's company.

That jerk, leaving Mokuba…. Red said.

What are you going to do Eiko? Blue asked. Eiko was silent for a bit. 'Do all that I can,' she told them determinately.

Mokuba lay on the couch in his brother office while Eiko looked out the window.

"We kneed to scare off Zigfreid," Mokuba said finally. "He may talk big, but the second he see's my brother he'll regret ever buying up all our stock."

"How much of it dose he have?" Eiko asked turning to face Mokuba.

"Last time I checked, 30% of it." He said.

"Help me out here Mokuba, I don't know much about business," Eiko said admittingly.

"Seto always said that you only need 51% of a company's stock, then you pretty much run the place."

"Is that true?" Eiko asked

"Yup, believe me I've seen if firsthand." Eiko decided not to ask. "It will be a bit more difficult to get the rest of the stock but Zigfreid is persistent. It wont be long until he has 51% of the stock. After that…" Mokuba didn't finish his sentence.

"Ok, but how do we get your brother here? I mean we don't even know were he is," Eiko said. Mokuba thought about it. He sat down in his brother's desk his fingers were intertwined. Eiko giggled,

"What?" Mokuba asked.

"Nothing, you just look like your brother when you sit that way. That all," Eiko said grinning.

"Huh," Mokuba said looking down at his hands, "I guess you right," he said looking back at Eiko. Mokuba returned to thinking. A minuet latter he proposed and idea.

"What?" Eiko said taken aback at the idea. "Mokuba it'll never work!"

"No just listen to me," he said, "we have all the materials, all we need it you!"

"But… but…" Eiko stuttered.

"No buts," Mokuba said sternly as if her were talking to a child. "Come on Eiko do this for me, please…." Mokuba looked up at Eiko pleadingly.

"I can't believe I'm doing this…" Eiko said looking up at the ceiling.

"Yeah! All right Eiko! Thank you so much for doing this, I mean I owe you big-time!"

"I can't believe I'm doing this," she repeated

"We'll have to get started right away, who knows how long it will take for Zigfreid to get the rest of the stock."

"I. Cant'. Believe. I'm. Doing. This."

Aoi: well there you go! What is Mokuba's plan you say? Well you'll just have to wait for the next chapter wont you? The whole 51% of stock thing came from season 3 of the anime so I don't know if its true of not. Much like Eiko I don't know much about business, I'm just winging t as I always do. Every time you review a puppy gets its fairy wings!

Akai: there are so many things wrong with that sentence….

Aoi: clap for Kiba everyone! =D
