"Leave a Message After the Beep!"

By: Seto's Princess

HELLO EVERYBODY! Lol… Since 3 of my stories have become so popular, I decided to start another one. (Huggles Starbuddy plushie…) Anyway… I hope you guys like this fic… Basically it's just answering machine messages. Hee hee… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm EVIL! Tee hee…

Disclaimer – I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or their answering machines… I only own most of the messages, as well as my OC, Maki who will appear a few times in this story.

Italicized words are thoughts.

By the way, the name of the chapter means which answering machine it is…

Warning: Randomness and possibility of different languages…

Chapter 1 – Kaiba Mansion, Seto's Room…

"Mphfffttt…" Seto mumbled as he stirred in bed.

" Niiiiissssaaaammmmaaa!" Mokuba shouted in the CEO's ear.

"Grr… Mokuba… What is it?" Seto asked.

"You promised to take me to the beach today," Mokuba said.

"Nmmmppptttt…" Seto mumbled, half-asleep.

"!" Mokuba shouted.

"GGGGAAAAAHHHH!" Seto screamed and fell off the bed. "Owwww…" he groaned.

"Come on, Seto!" Mokuba cried out, pulling his brother's arm.

"Alright, alright…" Seto mumbled as he got up.

"YAY!" Mokuba shouted as he literally bounced out of the room.

Seto yawned and walked over to his dresser. "Hm?" he asked himself. There were 5 messages on his answering machine. He pushed the play button.

"You have 5 messages. Saturday, 12:30 AM," the answering machine said.

"Hello? Erm…" the voice said. He had a Booklyn accent.

'Oh great… The mutt…' Seto thought.

Joey coughed twice and then cleared his throat. "I was wonderin, is your refrigerator runnin?" Joey asked.

"NO, YOU NIMWIT! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO THE ANSWERING MACHINE!" Tristan yelled in the background.

"Oh crap… Opps… erm…" Joey said.

BEEP!

"Saturday, 1:24 AM," the answering machine said.

"Hello? Err… Is your refrigerator running?" Yugi's voice asked.

"NO! YUGI! YOU'RE TALKING TO THE ANSWERING MACHINE! Tristan told me that's not how it works!" Joey shouted in the background.

"Oh… opps… Sorry, Kaiba…" Yugi apologized.

BEEP!

"Grr…" Seto grumbled.

"Saturday, 1:35 AM," the answering machine said.

"Aww… but Joey, I'm tired," Serenity whined to her brother.

"Come on, Serenity! Please!" Joey pleaded.

"Ok… But why are we bothering Kaiba anyway? He's probably sleeping. I'm sure he needs his rest, Joey. After all he does own his own company…" Serenity said.

"Aww.. Don't tell me you're gonna betray me now, sis…" Joey said sadly.

Serenity sighed. "No… Ok… Erm… Hello? Kaiba? Hello? Hmm… Answering machine… err… Joey was wondering if your-"

"NOOO! SERENITY! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM IT'S ME! Oh no… Is it still on? GAH! Serenity, hang up!" Joey screamed in the background.

BEEP!

Seto frowned and rolled his eyes.

"Saturday, 1:37 AM," the answering machine said.

"Hello?" a soft whispering voice suhopid. "Um… This is Serenity… I just called to apologize for my brother's rude behavior. I promise he's a good guy once you get to know him. Anyway, once again I apologize for Joey's-"

"SERENITY! WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? IT'S KAIBA ISN'T IT? WHY, SERENITY, WHY? DON'T APOLOGIZE TO THAT JERK! HE DESERVES IT! GIVE ME THE PHONE!" Joey screamed in the background. Then, Joey chasing Serenitywas heard in the background.

BEEP!

"Saturday, 6:15 AM," the answering machine said.

"Good Morning, Seto. It's Maki. Sorry to bother you cutie, but I just got a call from Kaiba Corp. They couldn't get a hold of you so they asked me to call you… Anyway, it seems that there was a slight… yeah right… erg… oh, screw it! Seto, one of the computers at Kaiba Corp. exploded and there was a fire. Well, they need you there ASAP for damage control. I'll try to do what I can until you get there, okay. See ya!" Maki said and blew a kiss through the phone.

BEEP!

Seto smiled. 'Wait a minute. Explosion? Fire? Kaiba Corp.? DAMN IT!' Seto thought to himself and left his room.

"Seto? Is something wrong?" Mokuba asked as the older brother rushed right by him.

"Hmm?" Seto said as he stopped. "Sorry, kiddo. We can't go to the beach today. There was a problem at Kaiba Corp. I have to get there as soon as I can.

"Awww… Okay…" Mokuba said sadly.

"Sorry kiddo. Perhaps another time."

"Okay. Bye, Niisama…"

"Bye." Seto said as he gently kissed Mokuba's forehead and left the mansion.
