To Kill A Kaiba

*Enjoy*


"Irasshaimase!" greets two women in purple kimonos.

"I believe I have reservations" Yuujirou said, flashing a mega watt
smile. He wears a red Hawaiian shirt with a white tank top underneath,
black jeans and a pair of black suede boots. The only accessories he
had on, was a diamond stud in the left ear, and a gold chain.

The two women giggle as Yuujirou drapes an arm around his brunet babe.

"Right this way, Yuujirou-sama", one of them replies. They lead them
to a very small private area that's isolated from the rest of the
noisy restaurant…

After directing the two men where to put there shoes, the two women
slid open the shoji screen doors and Seto gasps in amazement.

The private area was absolutely gorgeous! Everything was typically
traditional but with a modern flair. The darken atmosphere was tinted
blue by the huge aquarium that took up the whole left wall, which was
divided along the glass with six black booths each within them a black
traditional low sitting table and four dark blue cushions. There was
also a decent sized lighted Koi pond in the middle. Various lamps
along the right wall and hanging from the ceiling added a little bit
more light to the area. Also to the right was a small beautifully
organized sushi bar, which wasn't yet occupied by any sushi chefs…

The kimono clad waitresses led the couple to the first booth which put
them right in front of the sushi bar. "Menyuu o doozo!" one of the
women said, as the two sat cross-legged upon their respectable
cushions. "Arigatou Gozaimasu", Seto replies, politely. After
receiving their menus, the other one than said, "We shall come back
with your complimentary pot of tea." Bowing, the two waitresses turns
to leave.

"Wow, I heard getting reservations is almost impossible here at the
The Crystal Dragon", said Seto, still looking around. He wonders idly
if Jou may like this place.

"Ah, nothing is impossible when you have the right motivation.
Particularly one that consists of blue eyes" Yuuji replies with a grin.

Seto gave a half smile as he thought to himself. Cheese before dinner,
how lovely.

"I'm so glad you kicked that blonde jerk to the curb, Yuuji continues
leisurely, "He really doesn't have a clue on how to take care of
someone like you" Seto who doesn't reply, looks to his left to stare
at the aquarium. Some very interesting fish swims by.

Even if that was true, Seto contemplates, it doesn't necessarily mean
he couldn't learn…

A soft thunk on the table brought Seto out of his little moment as the
two waitresses from before serves them tea. They then proceed to give
the attractive couple warm towels for their hands.

"Gomen nasai", one waitress said, "Our sushi chefs are running
unusually late, but please if you already know what you would like, we
can still take your order now. We'll give them to the chefs as soon as
they arrive."

Yuuji nods in understanding as he turns to the brunet of the evening,
"Anything you would like, Toto-kun?"

Seto after putting his towel to the side replies, "No, anything will
do, as long as it's not spicy. Oh, and no wasabi!" Yuuji chuckles and
then turns back to the cute waitresses, "A variety of your finest
sushi and sashimi. Make sure some of the sushi is without wasabi and
give me a plate of your spiciest sushi."

As one scribbles down the order, the other replies, "Anything special
to drink?".

"Beer would do for me," Yuuji replies and once again turns to Seto.

However before he could ask, Seto spoke up, "Some Japanese plum wine
please" The waitress nods and both, again, rushes off to their duties.

Just then two sushi chefs clad in black chef uniforms, walk in and
take their places behind the sushi bar. One had blonde hair tucked up
in a black chef hat which sat low over his eyes. The other one, about
half the blonde chef's height, had his hair braided in a long French
braid, also with a black chef hat hovering over his eyes. They begin
making preparations at the bar when one of the waitresses, obviously
angry, walks up to them, arms flailing everywhere.

Seto who had been looking at the chefs ever since they arrived,
snickers at the spectacle. However he couldn't shake the feeling that
he knew those two from somewhere…

"The smaller one must be an apprentice", Yuuji said, after noticing
that their chefs had entered, "He has a child's face."

After the irate waitress hands them a piece of paper, presumably their
order, she stalks off leaving the chefs once again in plain view.

Seto had to admit, that Yuuji was most likely right. Judging by the
smaller one's face, he looked to be about Mokuba's age.

"But don't you think it's odd to have an apprentice practice in a
five-star upscale restaurant?" Seto inquires as he took a small sip of
his tea.

"As odd as it may be, Yuujo explains, holding his cup, "That would
just say a lot about the superior skills of the master chef himself!
That blonde guy must be one of the best there is all over Japan! A
genius chef! I can't wait to see what he comes up with!" He takes a
long sip of his tea and grins.

Over at the Sushi bar

"I don't know da hell I'm doin!" mumbles the blonde chef as he looks
at all of the ingredients splayed out in front of him. He then turn to
his long haired companion and said softly but harsh, "I can't believe
I let you talk me inta dis!"

A head lifts up, revealing big grayish eyes, voice just as low and
harsh, "Well you wanted to keep an eye on Seto, so why are you
complaining?"

"Couldn't dere have been a bettah way? I coulda been one of da
waitresses! I woulda been a lot closah!" the blonde whines, lifting
his head up, revealing hazel eyes of displeasure.

"Oh yea, Jou, you would look just FABULOUS in a petite kimono wearing
lipstick!" the smaller Kaiba said sarcastically. "We want to keep an
eye on them, NOT make them lose their appetite!"

Jou feigned hurt and replies, "Why Mokie, don't ya think I'm beautiful?"

Mokuba sighs; his brother really does have a strange taste in men.
"Nevermind that! Just read off the order list. I learned a few things
about sushi from the personal chef at the mansion, so we should be ok."

Jou takes a look at the order with disappointment. Truthfully, he
doesn't want to just play "baby-sitter", he wanted to somehow sabotage
the dating experience.

"Nothing special, just a variety of sushi and sashimi along with a
side dish of spicy sushi. Half of the sushi is to be without wasabi
and on shared dishes."

Mokuba stops preparing the ingredients and smirks. A devious idea
forming in his head… "Say, Jounouchi, want to have a little fun and
give our guests some entertainment…with them being the entertainment?"

Jou looks quizzically at the smaller boy and asks "What you talkin'
about Mokie?"

If possible, the smirk grew wider. There was a time when Jou would
abhor that very smirk on the brunet's face, but now he would give
anything to see it once more.

"It's a known fact that Seto absolutely HATES spicy food and wasabi…"
Mokuba trails off, hoping the blonde would catch his hint.

At first the blonde didn't get it and so a mask of confusion went over
his face until he takes a look at the order once more.

He eyes widen when he realizes the consistency of what Mokuba had
just said.

He looks at Mokuba then at the sheet, then at the couple, then at the
sheet, and then at Mokuba again. A smirk of his own found its way to
his lips. Oh…HELL YEA! This is what he's talking about! Suddenly
forgetting his self-consciousness, Jou vigorously turns to his task,
with Mokuba showing the way.

"Here, I'll do the sashimi and you just prepare the sushi. I'm sure
you would want to do the honors anyway" He points out the sushi
ingredients along with the extra soul burning spices… "I'll roll them
when you're done."

Hell yea, he would like to do the honors. So that fuck wants to play
with fire…

Jou carefully lies out the rice on the bamboo mat and put various
vegetables and seafood onto the rice. He decided to do his angel's
first so he won't forget later. Last thing he wanted was Seto's
valuable tongue to be injured. After arranging the ingredients, he
passes the mat over to Mokuba so he would roll them in between the
sashimi he was doing. There were four other bamboo mats so the
constant rotations were smooth ones.

After a few minutes, Jou snickers, it was time to raise some hell…well
at least in one Yuuji's mouth…

He begins to lie out the ingredients like before but this time, he
adds the wasabi…REALLY adds the wasabi. Since Mokuba had set out
enough wasabi for ALL of the sushi, there was plenty. He couldn't just
let the smaller Kaiba's effort of putting that green stuff in the bowl
go to waste, now could he?

He passes the mat to the side and nearly burst in laughter, when he
heard Mokuba's distinct snickering. That went on for a couple of
minutes more until he got to the main event…the spicy sushi.

After lying out the rice once again, he adds the original ingredients,
making sure that there was a double amount of each hot spice. He then
proceeds to add some very interesting, VERY hot spices that were on
the table but weren't necessarily suppose to be put in the sushi…

Mokuba puts the last of the sushi on its respectable dish, he then
adds two bowls of white rice, and some crab tempura…His brother's
favorite. The two waitresses came over to the bar to retrieve the
dishes and carry them out. Not realizing what they were accessories of…


Over at the booth…


"Ah, finally!" Yuuji exclaims at the delicious-looking food coming
their way.

Ah. Finally. Seto thought. He was grown tired of Yuuji's cheesy
flirting and advances. He couldn't count how many times, he had to
lean back every time Yuuji will lean over the table, or flinch away
whenever he feels a certain foot brushing up against his calves…

After the plates were set down on the table, Seto quickly notices the
extra plate of crab tempura. One of his favorite dishes, but he never
told Yuuji that fact about him.

Yuuji, who notices Seto's extended attention to the added dish,
replies, "Oh, a complimentary dish from the chef! How thoughtful of him!"

The chef…

Seto looks up to the sushi bar just in time to see the master chef
staring at him. The brunet couldn't see his eyes since all of the
lighting at the sushi bar had caused shadows of the chef hat to
obscure them. But if he were to put a certain pair of hazel eyes to
that face, he could've sworn that was Jou behind that bar.

Seto chuckles at the ridiculous thought.

"What's so funny, Toto-kun?" Yuuji asks. Seto whirling around quickly
replies, "Nothing."

"Well then, itadakimasu*!" Yuuji said, holding up his chopsticks.

Seto, taking up his, also replies, "Itadakimasu!"

They start off putting various things on their plates with Seto making
sure that the sushi he picks up, didn't have any wasabi.

"You know, Toto-kun," said Yuuji bringing a piece of sashimi to his
lips, "I don't see why you're so against wasabi. I think it adds flair
to the food." He then pops the piece into his mouth.

"I have to disagree. I think it takes away from the delicateness of
the sushi with its horribly strong taste!" Seto replies, eating a
piece of his tempura.

Chuckling, "Well that certainly means more for me then!" Yuuji then
takes the bowl of wasabi that came with the food, and dipped his sushi
in it.

Seto cringes at the sight and said, "Even if you do like that horrid
stuff, it's disrespectful to the chef for putting so much!"

Which is true, a sushi chef would normally find it offensive if a
customer overdo their handy work with wasabi. However, the two chefs
watching attentively, doesn't seem to mind at all, in fact they were
delighted…

Yuuji shrugs off dining etiquette as he places the wasabi-induced
sushi into his mouth. He nods in approval of the taste, well he
PRETENDED to, as he physically gags.

Seto not noticing the sudden discomfort on Yuuji's face nor the
reaction, picks up some sashimi with his chopsticks.

However, he did hear a choked cough which made him look up. Yuuji
looked about as green as the wasabi. "Are you ok?", Seto asked a
little worried.

"Yea, I…", Yuuji pauses to aggressively clear his throat, "I never
felt better." He then raises his hand up to signal a waitress who was
standing near by. When one rushes up to the table, Yuuji asks, "I
would..(cough)..a pitcher (cough, cough) of water please."

"Hai!", the waitress replies and rushes back to get the water.

"Are you sure you ok?", Seto asks again, after Yuuji constant coughing
subsides. "Yea, I'm fine Toto-kun", Yuuji replies with some relief in
his voice, the wasabi had finally subsided.

After some sushi and an empty pitcher later…

Yuuji turns to his spicy rolls after deciding he should take a break
from the wasabi rolls. However, Seto gave a sound of disapproval.

"Yuuji, I don't think eating those rolls after all of that wasabi you
ate is a good idea. You've already downed a whole pitcher of water!"
Seto lectures, taking a sip of his plum wine.

"I'm flattered, Toto-kun that you are so worried about my health but
I'm a big boy. So let daddy have his sushi." Yuuji said with a playful
grin as he picks one up with his chopsticks, putting it in his mouth
and then grabs another.

Seto raises his eyebrows considerably at the comment, but decided to
let Yuuji have his man moment and finishes off his tempura. After what
Seto would swore was only 10 seconds since he last looked at Yuuji,
looks up and nearly spits out his wine that he was currently drinking.

Yuuji was sweating bullets and had rivers of tears running down his
bloodshot eyes, like his head had sprung a leak. "Yea, its hot
as…(gag)hell..in here..kind of (cough, hack)..makes you..(wheeze)
wanna take (hack, gag) a swim in that (gasp, wheeze) aquarium."

"Yuuji…." Seto begins, with a warning tone as he saw his date picking
up his chopsticks. However, the stubborn blonde picks up yet ANOTHER
spicy roll and puts it in his mouth.

Seto sits back and stares at his idiotic date…it was like watching a
volcano about to erupt.

Yuuji grins weakly, his face now beet red and then in a split second,
all hell breaks loose when Yuuji goes hysterical, losing his
composure, coughing and wheezing, downing every beverage that was on
the table, including Seto's wine. "WATER!...WATER!" the blonde rasps out.

"Yea, you had drunk all of that when you were eating all of the
wasabi…" Seto said flatly as he calmly begins to signal for a waitress.

From some reason all of them was in the back room…

"Big boy huh? More like a big bab…"

"DAMMIT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GIVE ME SOME GAH-DAMN WATER!" Yuuji
screeches before breaking out in a series of weird coughing, gagging,
and hacking noises.

Oh…hell…

It took every fiber of Jou's being not to run over there and catch a
felony. However, Seto proved to be in control even then…

He stares in shock at Yuuji's tone before slowly putting his hands
back down in his lap…

"Well…I never!" Seto whispers harshly and turns to eat the rest of his
food. Ignoring, the tormented coughs coming from his jerk of a date.

"To-(gasp)To-kuuuuun! I..(gasp, cough) sorry…please…." Yuuji whimpers.

"Hell No! Call the waitress yourself!" Seto said with defiance, "Oh
that's right…your throat and tongue is eroding!"

He crosses his arms and looks away from the humorous spectacle of
Yuuji rolling around on the floor and crawling around on his knees in
his feeble attempts to gain stamina.

"To-To-To-To…Kuunnnnnn!" wheezes as Yuuji heavily collapses on the
floor beside him.

Seto heaves a sigh, "Fine, if water means THAT much to you…"

He turns to looks to the sushi bar, to find the two chefs huddled in
the corner, twitching as if they had to go to the bathroom.

"Um, can one of you guys get a waitress out here?" Seto leisurely
calls out.

The little one grabbing on the back counter for dear life makes his
way to the back room.

Suddenly, the two waitresses comes running out, tripping over their
feet. When they saw Yuuji face down on the floor coughing out what
sounded like a lung, one of them ran back to get some water.

The remaining waitress, walks over quickly to take away the food and
then makes her way to the sushi bar, noticing the weird way the chef
was leaning over the counter. "Are-Are you laughing?" she replies in
shock.

The blonde chef turns around with blood red hazel eyes, with tears
staining his face as he replies…"No..No..(snicker)..cut-cutting
(gafaw) onions!"

The waitress with a huff goes in the back room just as the previous
woman rushes out with another pitcher of water.

"Here's…" she never had a chance to finish as Yuuji, with a certain
burst of energy, jumps up, snatches the pitcher and pushes the
waitress…right into the koi pond.

"MINE!" he screams and turns the pitcher upside down, downing the
gushing water as it consumes his face.

Seto immediately stood up to help the lady out of the koi pond as he
turns to look angrily at his careless date.

"Are you ok?" Seto asks calmly.

The waitress shakes her head with tears sprouting in her eyes. Seto
reaches into his pocket and pulls out his wallet. He then takes out a
generous amount of yen and hands it to the distraught woman, "You've
earned it", he simply said and turns to leave the restaurant, passing
by an oblivious Yuuji.

Sighing in relief of the water he just downed, Yuuji turns to find
that Seto had disappeared. He then looks towards the door, which was
still swinging.

Shit!

"Toto-kun, wait! I'm sorry!" Yuuji, still coughing slightly as he
rushes toward the door, "Give me a chance to make it up to you at
Lover's Peak!" He disappears behind the door.

That had quickly cause Jou to sober up. Lover's Peak!? It's the
highest piece of land that hangs just over Domino City and also
notorious for its double meaning. He catches Mokuba quickly taking off
his hat to leave, and he does the same.

"Let's go!" Jou demands quickly.

"And where do you think you're going!" the irate waitress exclaims as
she caught both of the boys by the ear. "Not until you finish your
shift and do the dishes!"

"owowowowowo!" Jou whimpers and then yells, "I don't even work here
you crazy bitch! Check ya storage closet, da people who's in dere,
works here!"

Sadly, the waitress wouldn't hear a word of it and drags her awol
chefs into the back room, kicking and screaming.

Lover's Peak

It has been almost an hour since they arrived, however, Seto has yet
to even acknowledge Yuuji or the fact they were in his Mustang
convertible…

"Aw, cmon! Toto-kun!" Yuuji pleads trying to hug the brunet. After
swatting away prying hands…"You're such a jerk!" , Seto replies
viciously. "I can't believe you! If you would've just listened…."

"I know, I know", Yuuji said calmly, "and I'm sorry." He then takes
out a long jewelry box and hands it to the brunet. "I wish we would've
been on better turns before I gave you this."

Seto eyes the box suspiciously, before taking it. He opens it, his
jaws hangs open. Gorgeous, was the only word that came to mind. It was
Blue-eyes White Dragon charm bracelet. The dragons intricately
encrusted with diamonds and each had a blue sapphire for the eyes.

Too busy studying it, he didn't notice when Yuuji moves dangerously
close. Seto suddenly feels a steady stream of warm breathe caressing
his cheek and as he turns, he accidentally brushes his lips against
Yuuji's.

In the intial shock, Yuuji grins and begins to take advantage of
Seto's vulnerability, only to have Seto's phone ring.

Yuuji backs away in a shock of his own. "You have a cellphone with you
on a date?!"

Seto rolls his eyes, "Unlike you, I don't have a dad to mooch off of
and have to work for a living…"

He flips open the cellphone. "Seto", he said professionally.

"Mokuba..." He sits up as he hears his brother's distress.

"It's ok, you were just having a nightmare…" Seto widens his eyes as
he hears the smaller Kaiba's request.

"Tell you a story…but you know I'm on a…" Even Yuuji hears the loud
wailing. "Okay, Okay…." Seto sighs and gives Yuuji an apologetic smile…

Yuuji just waves him off with a understanding grin.

Mouthing "thank-you" as he got out the car and walks up the dirt
road, gradually disappearing from view. "Once upon a time…" the brunet
begins softly.

Yuuji, sighs and sits back closing his eyes. Seto would make a great
housewife….

He must've dozed off because the sharp slam of the passenger side door
had jolted him awake.

"I was getting worried that something might've happened to you,
gorgeous", Yuuji purrs as he turns around…only to face, not blue
eyes..but hazel ones.

"Gee, I didn't know ya cared…"


To be continued…
