Chapter Eleven: A Little More Than She Bargained For

Seto Kaiba was not in the best of moods.

It was apparent the day would be "one of those" when he got to work, and found out that because of the recent stormy weather, the computers had crashed. Then the secretary fudged his accounts, and his coffee was cold.

He could handle anything, he thought, but not cold coffee.

So on his way home, he decided a nice shower and an early bedtime might help.

Mina stood shivering like mad by Mokuba's chair, and he looked up at her with concern written all over his face.

"Are you sure you don't want something dry to change into? I'm sure Seto wouldn't mind," He said.

"No, no, trust me, we don't need him any angrier than he will be when we tell him about the zoo."

Mokuba got that stubborn look on his face. Mina started getting nervous-she didn't like to argue much.

"Um," she said hurriedly, "could I take a shower, if it's allright?" She knew she sounded timid, and she hated herself for it.

Mokuba's cloudy face began to lighten somewhat.

"Sure! The guest rooms are locked, I think, so go use Seto's bathroom."

Mina sucked in her breath sharply.

"I really don't think-"

Mokuba gave her the puppy face and she sighed, turned around, and trudged upstairs.

Seto walked in the door not very far after. He walked into the living room, took one look at a sleeping Mokuba, and smiled, continuing on upstairs.

Mina stripped to her underwear and turned on the water-she was still just getting over the size of the bathroom.

Geez, you could get lost in here. How big does one guy's bathroom need to be?

She looked around, shivering in her wet bra, eyes large.

"God, I hope he doesn't get home anytime soon."

Seto pushed the door of his room open and stripped to his undergarments. After a moment of thought, he stripped completely, grabbed a towel, and walked towards the door of the bathroom.

Mina tested the water with a finger, then took off her remaining clothing.

"Oh, shoot." She had forgotten a towel-there were fresh ones on Seto's bed, she had noticed. It was too much trouble to get dressed all over again, so she decided to just wing it. She reached for the doorknob…

At the same time Kaiba did…

Kaiba opened the door and found himself staring right at Mina. Her eyes were incredibly wide and she was looking-down. With a quick motion, she had slammed the door and braced herself against it, breathing hard.

"Oh my God. I'm dead."

Kaiba couldn't quite register what he had just seen, then it hit him. He slowly turned around, wrapped the towel around himself, and walked downstairs. Once there, he stopped in front of Mokuba's sleeping form and cleared his throat meaningfully. His little brother awoke.

"Uh, hi Seto!"

Kaiba glowered down at him.

"Mokuba? What is Mina Koshikawa doing in my bathroom?"

"Um, showering?" He ventured meekly, smiling up at his brother. Uh-oh.

"And why is she showering at our house and not at hers?"

"Because I told her she shouldn't go home tonight in the rain and she wanted to take a shower and I said `Yeah, ok, use Seto's bathroom' and she didn't want to because she didn't want to make you mad but I made her and she said yes and then I fell asleep and she went to shower!" Mokuba said this all very quickly, and panted for breath. Seto looked very annoyed, indeed. "So can she stay the night, Seto?"

Kaiba thought about this.

Come on, not like you'll see her anyways, she'll probably avoid you and stay in a guest room.

But then again, you know you couldn't look her in the eyes after the…incident.

Heh. But you know, she really has nothing to be ashamed of. She's quite good looking.

Alarmed at this, Kaiba mentally slapped himself back into the real world and furrowed his brow.

"N-"

"Come on, only one night!"

"…"

The silence held for a minute, and then Kaiba gave in.

"Ugh. Fine. One night. And in the morning she goes home, got it kid?"

"Yeah, sure!" Mokuba grinned.

Mina was still blushing as she finished her shower and put on a guest bathrobe in the linen closet.

Gah, that was too embarrassing for words! Then again, he saw all of me too, so I don't know. I wonder what's going through his head right now…

Eep! Hentai, Mina!

She also mentally slapped herself and walked downstairs, where Kaiba was still standing in his towel. Mina found herself beet red again.

"Erm, I'll just take a guest key then." She meekly muttered, staring at the ground.

Mokuba looked up. "We can't find the keys…" He said quietly.

Seto sighed in utter defeat. "Take my bed. I'll find an empty one somewhere."

Mina looked up with wide eyes at Kaiba and almost immediately looked down again. He was looking at her with an amused smirk on his face.

Gah, why does he do things like that?
She muttered a quiet thank you and ran upstairs.

This is gonna be one long night……
