You must understand

That the touch of your hand

Makes my pulse react

That it's only the thrill

Of boy meeting girl

Opposites attract

It's physical

Seto was seating in a meeting room with his advisors, they were discussing the companies latest figures.

"Now Kaiba-san," began one of them slowly. "Now on to more pressing matters."

"What matters?" asked Seto flatly.

"The social balls," he began again.

"What balls?" asked Seto raising an eyebrow.

"The ones we have all been invited to that you haven't responded to."

"What about them?" asked Seto.

"You should be accompanied by a woman to them," stated another advisor slowly.

Only logical

You must try to ignore

That it means more than that
_________________________________________________________________< br> "What are you getting at?" asked Seto slowly.

"I think you would have more social standings if it looked like you were attached to a woman," said the man.

"You want me to drag around some ditz?" scowled Seto. "Absolutely not!"

"But Kaiba-san," began another one. "It would look better for Kaiba Corps has a whole if it looked like you had settled down!"

"I refuse to drag around some useless half wit!" snapped Seto.

"I wasn't going to suggest you do that Kaiba-san, perhaps you should bring that young lady you are seeing."

Seto closed his eyes and begin to think of the woman he had been "seeing" for over a month. He had no wish to bring Nikushimi to any social ball, even though her father was one of Kaiba Corps partners in the business world. She wasn't someone he would bring to a ball, even though he didn't mind going to bed with her.

"I don't think so," he growled.

"Then hire a professional."

Seto glared at the other males, " I think not."

"What about one of our daughters or granddaughters," said the oldest advisor.

"No," said Seto flatly standing up.

"Kaiba-san where are you going?" asked one of the men.

"Home I have better things to worry about then getting a date for social functions that are about as exciting as watching paint dry!"

The males winced as Seto stormed from the room and slammed the door shut.

"Well," said the first one. "That went better then I expected."

Seto climbed into his limo and looked out the windows, he considered going home to eat dinner with Mokuba, but Pernia was there and would remain there until he got home. He had to admit the woman would remain at his house sometimes until two or three in the morning wide awake.

For some reason the thought of the young woman brought a strange sensation to him and he had a sudden urge to go see Nikushimi. He told the driver to take him to her small mansion and to pick him up in two hours. The moment he walked inside Nikushimi was waiting for him in her room.

"Good evening Kaiba-kun," whispered Nikushimi wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Good evening Nikushimi," said Seto calmly.

"Is something wrong?" she asked coyly.

"No," said Seto gently unwrapping her arms from around his neck.

Nikushimi frowned something was definitely wrong with him he had never unwound her from his neck before.

"You are lying," she said walking behind him to rub his back.

"Am I?" he asked.

"Very much so," said Nikushimi smiling while she wrapped her arms around his waist and slide and hand inside his pants. "Now come on we can have supper, then desert, and then you can tell me all about it."

Seto smirked when she licked his ear, before leading him down the flight of stairs toward the dinning room.

That I'm acting confused

When you're close to me

If I tend to look dazed

I've read it someplace

I've got cause to be

There's a name for it
___________________________________________________________________< br> Two hours later Seto lay in bed with Nikushimi his arms behind his head, thinking about what had happened. His advisors wanted him to bring a woman to the parties that would be happening over the course of a week. His mind was complete blank he enjoyed Nikushimi's company but was not sure he was ready to go that far with her. With a sigh he sat up in bed and searched around for his clothes.

"Where are you going?" she asked from her spot on the bed.

"I have to get home," said Seto. "I am late enough as it is and Pernia is probably tired."

"Who is Pernia?" asked the woman a hint of jealousy showing through her tone.

"Pernia is the woman that I hired to take care of Mokuba while I was at work," said Seto.

"Why didn't you ask me to do it?" asked Nikushimi flatly. "I would have gladly taken care of him."

`Because Mokuba hates you I wanted to keep my house in one piece,' he thought to himself, before saying. "I figured you would be too busy helping your father with his business."

Seto smiled while lying through his teeth he knew Nikushimi didn't help her father with his business. She spent all her days shopping around with her friends or at a spa with her mother.

"Besides Mokuba likes her and they seem to get along well," said Seto.

"Well if you are sure," said the woman slowly.

"I am positive," said Seto getting to his feet and buttoning his shirt before tucking it in. "I have to go."

That said Seto left the room leaving a slightly peeved woman alone in the bed.

The moment Seto walked into the house he was greeted by Pernia who took his coat and hung it up in the hall closet.

"Good evening Kaiba-san," she said closing the hall closet door. "Did work go well?"

"Quite well Pernia thank you," said Seto. "Although I know have to bring a female to a week of balls and parties."

"You don't sound very excited," chuckled Pernia.

"Most of the females of my social status are witless airheads," snorted Seto.

"Are they all that bad?" asked Pernia.

"No, some are even worse then that. Did Mizu come home with my brother again?"

"She did," said Pernia smiling to herself.

"I don't need to replace anything do I?"

"No," said Pernia shaking her head and walking toward the dinning room to get her things, Seto following her. She was well behaved."

"Thank God," muttered Seto placing his briefcase on the table.

"When did my brother go to bed?"

"Around ten," said Pernia zipping up her backpack.

"What's that?" asked Seto curiously.

"Homework," said Pernia looking up at him.

"Homework?"

"Yeah you know the stuff they give in from the first grade till college," said Pernia.

"Very funny," scowled Seto. "But why do you have it?"

"I am in college," said Pernia. "I plan to help my mother's friend with his business later on."

"I see," said Seto.

"Good night Seto-san," said Pernia leaving the house.

"Good night Pernia," said Seto softly.

"HI!" shouted Mokuba and Mizu together.

"WHAT THE HELL!" shouted Seto.

The moment Pernia walked into the apartment she noticed someone else was in here and it wasn't the cat. She walked slowly from room to room.

"Korba is that you?" asked Pernia softly.

"Yeah it's me," said Korba from the other room.

Pernia breathed a sigh of relief when one of her best friends walked into the room. Korba had long brown hair and grey eyes, her friend was a good two inches taller then her.

"What are you doing?" asked Pernia placing her stuff on her small table.

"I needed a pick me up," said Korba.

"Did you take my rent money again?" asked Pernia.

"Not all of it," said Korba blinking her glassy eyes.

"How much?!"

"At least half," said Korba.

"Half?!" asked Pernia. "HALF?! Korba I need the money to pay my damn rent!"

"Jeez," said Korba plopping down on the couch. "You don't have to yell, not only did I need a pick me up but I needed some money to pay off part of my debt."

"What debt?"

"The debt I made with Ben."

"Ben?!"

"Yeah you know he said that if you ever got tired of babysitting rich people's kids you could come work for him."

"There is no chance in hell I would ever come work for him!"

"Okay whatever," said Korba popping back up again. "Well see ya chica."

That said Korba strolled out of the apartment with Pernia's money in hand.

"Damn," muttered Pernia locking the door. "I hope I get paid before rent is due."

"What are you doing up?!" demanded Seto to Mokuba.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," said Mokuba. "I am asleep."

"You are not asleep," then he turned on Mizu. "What may I ask are you doing here? Pernia didn't say a damn thing about you still being here!"

"She doesn't know," grinned Mizu. "I came back threw the drainage pipes! So what's this I hear about you having to bring a female to a week of fancy balls and parties?"

"How did you know that?!"

"We were listening!" chirped Mokuba.

Seto snorted and turned to Mizu, "I am calling your parents to come take you home."

"My parents aren't home," said Mizu cheerfully.

"Please don't tell me," began Seto.

"That's right you have me all week long!"

"Oh Dear God no," muttered Seto placing his head in his hands. "Why didn't Pernia tell me this?"

"Because we told her that you already knew I was here."

"What do you mean you told her I knew?!"

"I called your office to let you know!" chirped Mokuba.

"You've got to be kidding me," muttered Seto.

"Take Pernia," said Mizu.

"What?" asked Seto shocked by this complete turn of events.

"Take Pernia," said Mokuba.

"No," said Seto.

"You like her though," said Mizu.

"What's your point?" asked Seto getting up from his seat at the table.

"I know you know I know," said Mokuba walking after him Mizu not far behind.

"That made no sense Mokuba," said Seto.

"Are you going to take her?" asked Mizu.

"No," said Seto flatly heading towards his room.

"I think you should," said Mizu.

"That's nice," muttered Seto.

"Take her," said Mokuba.

"No," said Seto.

"Take her," repeated Mokuba.

"No," said Seto firmly turning to look at his little brother.

"Take her," said the two of children together.

"No," said Seto.

"Take her!"

"No! That is the end of this discussion."

"Take her!"

"No!"

"We aren't leaving until you take her," said Mokuba. "Besides it's either her or Nikushimi."

Seto closed his eyes and sighed, his brother was right Pernia would be better though she would have to refined a little.

"Fine," said Seto. "But only if she agrees to it has well."

That said Seto stormed into his bedroom and shut the door.

"Don't worry," grinned Mizu. "She will."

"Bed?" asked Mokuba.

"Bed," agreed Mizu.

The two of them went separate rooms and silence descended upon the Kaiba house.

The next morning Mokuba and Mizu stormed into the house after school.

"Pernia!" they both shouted together.

"What, what is it?" asked Pernia hurrying into the hall.

"We have something to tell you," said Mokuba grinning.

"What did you two do this time?" asked Pernia slowly.

"We haven't done a thing," protested Mizu.

"Yeah right," muttered Pernia. "Alright you two what do you want?"

"My brother has to attend several balls and parties next week," said Mokuba.

"I know he told me last night," said Pernia. "What does that have to do with me?"

"He said he would go but you had to go with him," said Mizu.

"Oh really?" asked Pernia looking at them with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah," said Mokuba.

"Why should I believe you?" asked Pernia.

Mokuba and Mizu exchanged a look before grinning evilly.

"Oh no," said Pernia. "Don't even think about it you two."

Mokuba began to give Pernia the puppy dog eyes.

"You have got to be kidding me," said Pernia wearily.

"Please," whimpered Mokuba.

"No!" said Pernia.

"Please!" whined Mokuba.

"You aren't going to stop until I say yes are you?" asked Pernia.

"No!"

"Fine!" said Pernia throwing up her arms. "Fine, just stop with the puppy dog face and I'll do it!"

"Do what?" asked Seto coming into the hall.

"She agreed!" cheered Mizu before she and Mokuba took off to his room.

"You had to agree," said Seto.

"He took out the puppy dog face," said Pernia shrugging.

"Oh Lord," muttered Seto. "You should see him at Christmas."

The two of them stood in silence for a minute.

"I guess we should go through with it," said Seto.

"Hai," said Pernia. "Because they will never let us live it down if we don't."
