It has been several years after the battle city tournament.

At the top floor of Kaiba Corporation

The president of Kaiba Corporation stands proudly in his spacious office overlooking the new amusement park which he has successfully built. With his arms crossed, he sat back in his executive leather seat and admires the dream which he had promised Mokuba years ago when they first left the orphanage. Now at the age of 24, wealth, power, youth, and success, everyone would have said he has it all. His arrogance and egotistic appearances can fool everyone, even himself.

"Perfect. This is what I've been dreaming for" he whispered. Sitting on top of his desk was a copy of the latest Times Magazine with the title 'Top 50 most successful entrepreneurs in the world under the age of 25' and his photo on the cover. "But I can do better..."

"Mr. Kaiba, the posting for recruiting a private teacher has been typed up and ready for your approval."

Seto Kaiba, still absorbed in his pride is now annoyed by the sudden intrusion of his secretary, Serenity Wheeler.

"Don't you KNOW your manners? ... Knock before YOU enter!" His voice was not raised, but Serenity can tell he was annoyed.

"Sorry sir, I did, but ..." her voice was silenced by the raise of his hand in the air with his back still turned towards her.

"Enough! Send it out immediately. We need the best private teacher we can get for Mokuba."

[Mokuba barges into the office]

"Seto, I don't want another sensei. I think I am fully capable of running Kaiba Corp. while you were away." Mokuba pleaded.

"Ms. Wilmar is the 5th teacher that YOU have scared off recently. She had taught many well educated aristocrats around the world. Yet, you played hide and seek with her all day and almost scared her half to death when you put that snake in her bedroom closet. Mokuba! Running a business is NO fun and games!"

Mokuba knows it is useless for him to argue with his older sibling. Because he knows Seto's back is unyielding as stone. He knows his brother cares for him as much as anything in the world, but sometimes, he is just stubborn. Too stubborn.... Mokuba turned to leave while shaking his head he thought to himself. 'Ever since that day wer taken away from the Orphanage, Seto never smiled at me like he use to before. Even though many people will love to be in his place, but there seems to be something still missing that he is not satisfy with.'

"Mr. Kaiba, there is also an invitation for you from Mr. Santo" Serenity added and handed him a card that was cut out in the shape of a drama mask.

"Hmmmm.. A masquerade ball hosted by Uncle Santo. That old man, I know what games he is playing. But for business reason, I have no choice but to attend. Send him my RSVP." Not knowing what awaits him at the ball; he chucked the invitation card on to his desk.

Next day at Kaiba Corporation

A pile of paper towered over Serenity's desk and over her head as she walked towards her desk. "What is this!" she shrieked. All were the eager applicants that wanted to get a job with Kaiba and live in the luxury of Kaiba's mansion. Hesitated, she picked up the phone to listen for her first message of the day. "Find Mokuba a teacher as SOON as Possible. I am leaving for a conference this afternoon and won't be back till next week. I trust that you can recruit a qualified applicant, so DON'T disappoint me! Click...."

"Just what I needed, to hear Kaiba's demand first thing in the morning. What am I suppose to do?" Serenity swung her long fine hair behind her and sat down in her desk. After her high school graduation, she was hired to be Kaiba's personal secretary. That's because nobody else was able to handle working for Kaiba and he enjoys commanding Wheeler's sister to do his job. He was so demanding, so insincere, so cold...Only Serenity had the temper to withstand Kaiba's personality.

"Hi Serenity" Tea walked by and beamed a smile at Serenity. "I am just dropping by to see how things are going with you. What's wrong? You don't look too happy today."

"Kaiba wants me to hire a private teacher for Mokuba before he comes back from his conference. Usually he does the hiring and interviews. Maybe he was fed up with it. Now I have to go through all these applications."

"That Kaiba jerk! Serenity, don't worry about it. Come to think of it, I have a friend who is looking for a job in Domino City. She was a graduate student from Worchester University. I would've asked her to stay with me and Yugi's place, but you know how small the Game Store is, and grandpa is taking up some room. I thought that job would be a great opportunity for her. It includes room, meals, and job. What more can you ask for? Well.....except the fact she has to deal with Kaiba." Tea chuckled.

"Where is she now? Can I get her in for an interview?" Serenity asked.

"She is actually a pen pal of mine and she is flying in this afternoon. I told her I have prepared a place for her to stay, but I kept putting it off. I will really appreciate it if you can do this favor for me."

"Okay Tea, let me arrange an interview with her. It will be an informal one, but we still need to go through the recruitment process just to keep Kaiba happy. I am looking forward to seeing her. By the way, what's her name?"

"Miriam"

At Domino City Airport

In the midst of the crowded airport, there stands a girl who appears to be lost while toting her sky blue metal luggage with her. She was about 5'4" with soft black hair which comes down to her waist. She was wearing a basic black dress with a navy blue trench coat over it. Tired and unfamiliar to Domino City, she continued to wander around the airport, hoping to find her friend through the crowd of people.

"Can I help you find something, miss?" a lady dressed in a flight attendant uniform asked her.

"Oh no, thanks. I need to try and figure things out by myself." Was her only reply.

At the age of 21, she is a graduate working as a research assistant at a university. On one hand she wanted to walk away from her past. On the other hand, she wasn't sure if she will regret moving to Domino City. Either way, she has set her hear to continue on and hopping that her decision to come here was a good one.

She brushed her long black her behind her and checked the LCD monitors to see if this was the meeting place that they have agreed to meet in the e-mail. As she turned around, she collided with another hurried passenger, tipped over her travel case and fell onto the floor. The man tripped over her and fell beside her. She turned around to apologize but to see a young man in a white Versace business suite angrily glaring back at her.

"Are YOU blind?" He said as he quickly gets back up from the floor. "I don't have time to be interfered by slow people like you!" Brushing off his white trousers, he grabbed his travel case from the floor and hurried off towards the departure gates.

The girl watched in disbelief. 'I can't believe this guy. Are people here in Domino City are all like this?' she thought to herself as she watched the man running frantically to catch his flight.
