Chapter Two: The Boy

Seto Kaiba looked out of his office window casually, watching the two figures walk along the sidewalk. One was Mokuba, he was sure, and the other…who was she? She was pretty-he had seen her before, at the high school. Mina…Mina Koshikawa. That was it. Kaiba smiled despite himself.

"Nice of her to walk Mokuba home. Probably thinks getting in close with the Kaibas will bring her fame." He swept the curtain back into place and briskly walked to the door, turned off the light, and walked downstairs.

Mokuba was down there talking to Mina already.

"And this is our living room-" Mina had a faintly amused smile on her face, and she followed him around as he gave her a tour of the mansion's first floor, nodding seriously when he asked her opinion. Kaiba found himself liking her, for the way she treated his brother with such obvious respect. His eyes narrowed as Mokuba invited her to sit, and she did, perching lightly on the large leather couch. She looked up and her eyes caught Kaiba's, and she smiled.

"Hey Seto!" Came the unhesitant greeting, and Kaiba forced a smile out of himself.

"Hello, Mina. What brings you to our company?"

Mina was about to answer, but Mokuba jumped up and down.

"Big brother! Big brother! There was this guy, who was really jealous because he sucks at chess and I don't, and he was going to hit me, but then Mina ran in and punched him! Isn't she cool????" The boy beamed at his older sibling. Kaiba looked surprised.

"She hit him?" He looked to Mina, eyes narrowing in cold indifference. "Why?"

Mina looked a little taken aback, and her seemingly cheerful attitude was gone. "Um, well, if you were there, wouldn't you have done the same thing?"

Jeez, what is his problem??? She thought to herself, eyes narrowing to the same degree as his.

Kaiba digested this for a moment, and then gave in. "…Thank you." He said grudgingly, sighing. "Sorry for my rudeness-you can't be too careful." Mina knew he didn't mean it. "How can I ever repay you…?" He said this with his eyes boring into hers.

She raised her chin and straightened. "I heard you're a good duelist."

Kaiba smirked. "Yes, and you're good at changing subjects."

"Thank you, sir." Her smile was taunting. "I don't want repayment. I want to duel the famous Seto Kaiba." She grinned again and held up a thick deck of Duel Monster Cards. "And I'll win too."

"That's what the last defeated opponent said. But-if you insist." He left the room and returned a moment later with his duel disk briefcase. "There's space in the yard." With that, he swept out of the room, leaving Mokuba to guide Mina to the back of the large house.

"Did someone put knives in his bed or something? He's grumpy." Mina whispered to Mokuba behind Kaiba's retreating back, looking faintly astonished.

"Don't worry about him." Mokuba whispered back, eyes wide. "He's had it rough." Mina gave him a questioning look but he just led her on through the house. Family matters need not be discussed. Not yet, atleast.
