Intro

The empty lot across from campus which had been under construction for months and had finally begun to show progress. What used to be am ugly, crumbled, concrete flat, was now a nice little bakery. What a relief, Yami thought as he approached the front. "Soliel Boulangerie",read the sign in large curly font. A flimsy "Now Hiring" sign clung to the door which was held on by single piece of tape, and was fluttering madly against the wind.

It was still dark inside but Yami was very intrigued. He squinted, pressed up against the glass, and peered in. There were boxes stacked sky-high, a couple large screens above the register counter for the a menu, he assumed, and a nice long table set against the windows. It all looked very nice, but seemed like they wouldn't be opening for another few weeks. Yami sighed. Well, at least Yugi will appreciate this place when it opens. He took note of the bakery name once again and went on his way.

"I'm back." Yami called as he stepped into Kame Game Shop.

"Hey!" Yugi exclaimed happily as he dashed out from behind the cashier counter to give Yami a hug. "How was your day?"

"Good." Yami replied, untangling himself from Yugi, "The eyesore has finally become a real bakery. You know, the concrete lot in front of campus?"

Yugi nodded.

"Yes," Yami continued, "Well, it's called 'Soleil Boulangerie' and it looks like it will be a nice place for dates. You and Anzu should check it out and then tell me about it."

"They're done with construction?" Yugi asked, surprised. "Let me look them up, hang on." He walked back around the counter to access the store computer.

"Hmm..oh! Found it!" Yugi said excitedly and turned the monitor towards Yami. "Looks like they're hiring!"

Yami nodded at the screen, "Yes Yugi, but, what do the words mean?" He looked very serious and Yugi burst out laughing.

"Oh, you want to know what the store name actually means?" Yugi smiled and began typing into Google translate. "Okay, let me see...here! 'Soleil' means 'sun' in french, and 'boulangerie' just means 'bakery'. In french." He added, looking at Yami carefully.

"I see." Yami said, nodding. "Well, thank you Yugi. I'll be going upstairs to finish some assignments."

Yugi laughed and gave Yami another hug, "Okay, I'll call you down when it's time for your shift at the counter."


Kaiba was about to stand up from his desk when he heard the door to his office open slightly. "Seto?" said Mokuba timidly through the crack in the door, "Seto? I'm hungry...".

Kaiba looked up from his laptop and said, "One moment." He finished up his spreadsheet and closed it.
He then walked swiftly across the room, pulled the door open and picked Mokuba up into his arms.

"Okay. I'll make us some dinner, let's head down." he said quietly.

"Can we eat the pies in the oven?" Mokuba asked, his voice muffled by Seto's shoulder.

"They're not just pies Moki, they're called quiches, and yes." Kaiba replied, carefully stepping into the elevator adjacent from his office.

"Did you make them earlier? I saw you in the kitchen poking around the oven." said Mokuba as the elevator began it's decent. There was a moment of silence as Kaiba took note to how oblivious he'd been to his surroundings when he was baking earlier.

"Yes. I did." Kaiba said quietly. More silence as the elevator continued to slowly make it's way down.

"Fifth floor", chirped the automated voice in the elevator. Kaiba shuffled Mokuba in his arms as he stepped out of the elevator. He set Mokuba down on one of the bar stools by the kitchen and opened the oven.

"Do you know what quiches are, Mokuba?" Kaiba asked as he sliced and placed the quiches onto plates.

"Yea, they're...french pies?" Mokuba ventured.

"That is correct." Kaiba smiled softly and placed a large slice of quiche in front of Mokuba. "Dig in kiddo."

Mokuba's face lit up, "Thanks big brother!" and then he proceeded to stuff his face. "Thish ish sho good Sheto!" he exclaimed with his mouth full.

Kaiba gave Mokuba a small smile in return and said softly, "Glad you like it." He picked up his own fork and began to eat.

"Sheto, haf you ever thought about sharing these wif Yugi and friends? They're delishush!" Mokuba said, shoving spoonfuls of quiche into his mouth.

Kaiba paused, "No Moki, I haven't thought about that." and he continued to chew thoughtfully. Well, earlier today while browsing the internet in his spare time, he did see a job listing calling for experienced bakers and cake decorators at a local bakery. 'I'll go take a look at that again,' Kaiba thought to himself.

"Thank you Mokuba, I'll look into it." Kaiba said, nodding.

"What?" said Mokuba, looking confused.

"Nevermind." said Kaiba shaking his head. "You eat. I'll be upstairs, you know where to find me. Knock on my door when you're ready for bed and I'll tuck you in." He gave Mokuba a quick kiss on the forehead and headed into the elevator.

Kaiba eased into his office chair and opened his laptop. Damn. he thought to himself, What was the name of that bakery? Hmmm.... Kaiba hummed to himself massaging his temples. "Right. Soleil...Boulangerie...", he said, typing out loud. The webpage loaded and Kaiba was pleasantly surprised. The bakery's colors were mint green with white stripes, and the words 'Soleil Boulangerie, Opening Next Week!' was stamped across the top of the page in large, bold text.

Kaiba scrolled down and found the online application for staffing at the bakery. He clicked on it, and frowned. "Last name, first name" was the first box he had to fill in. He furrowed his brow even further. This would mean he'd have to fill it out with his real name. That would be a problem. The media would have a field day, and he would never hear the end of it. He could see the headlines already, "Seto Kaiba, working part time at a small bakery, what a joke."

I could fake the name, thought Kaiba, but what about my appearance. I can put down any name I fucking want, but people will recognize me.

Kaiba leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes for a moment. I can have my stylist deal with that. Kaiba opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, Yes! That is my solution. I can have my stylist deal with that.

He looked at the form and began typing, making shit up as he went.
'Last name, Mura. First name, Hiroaki. Age, 24. Sex, M. Phone number...', Kaiba continued until he finished the whole form. He was actually sort of enjoying himself. Bullshitting is fun, he thought, I should do this more often.

Everything on the form was fake except for his age, gender and phone number. Pleased with his progress, Kaiba sat back to admire his handiwork.

All too soon, he heard a knock that was unmistakably from his little brother. "Seto..I'm sleepy." said Mokuba through the door. Kaiba quickly submitted the form without hesitation and closed his laptop. "I'm coming Mokuba." He strode across the room, opened the door and picked Mokuba up into his arms as he usually did. "Okay kiddo. Bedtime." He shut the door behind him, and carried a very sleepy Mokuba to his bedroom.
