Life went on pretty much as normal for the next few weeks, or at least as normal as it could get for the CEO and his assistant. Christmas passed without incident and the new Year was ushered in with the usual fanfare. Jou and Seto still kept their relationship well under wraps, although Jou intended to tell his mother once his 18th birthday had passed and he had left his father's 'care' just so that she wouldn't find it out from other sources in the event that the information leaked, which they both knew would eventually be inevitable. He couldn't, however, resist telling his sister on one of the rare occasions that she had visited. Shizuka, to his relief, had squealed, given him a hug that had taken his breath away and her full support.

Yugi was silently supportive and Ryou, although Jou suspected that he knew something, never said a word. However, with Seto's permission, Jou had invited Yugi and Ryou to the mansion to meet Mrs Doyle and the Japanese teens had watched with utter bemusement as those from the British Isles got on like a house on fire.

As for Honda, he remained pretty much clueless and Otogi was always looking for a chance to find out what was really going on between Jonouchi and Seto. In fact everything was going far too well, which is why it should not have been a surprise when everything seemed to go wrong all at once.

On that fateful day, Jou bounced into the CEO's office at the Kaiba Corporation building. "Hey Seto," he chirped happily, "would it be OK if Mokuba sent some of those pictures he keeps taking of us to Shizuka?"

Seto gave him a sharp look. "You told your sister about us?"

"Well, yeah," Jou said. "She IS my sister..."

"Are you sure that's safe and shouldn't you wait just a couple more weeks just to be sure?" Jou's 18th birthday was shortly coming up, and although neither of them had any illusions that all their problems would magically disappear, it was nonetheless an event that would make things a lot safer for all of them.

"Seto, she's my sister," Jou pointed out, trying not to sound exasperated. "I may as well ask you if Mokuba were safe and you know that she's the only member of my family that gives a crap about me. You weren't available last time she visited and she just wants to see if we look as cute together as she imagines we do."

Seto scowled a touch at being thought of as 'cute'. "It's not really the same thing," He pointed out. "Mokuba lives here with me while Shizuka lives with your mother. How do you know that your mother won't find them and what would she do if she did?" Jou had not mentioned his mother often, but what he had said about her and how she didn't seem to like him much was not good.

"Shizu knows how to be discreet," Jou replied earnestly. "She knows how important it is that no one finds out so she won't spread it around and she knows how to avoid issues with my mother." He looked hopefully at Seto, "Please? She really wants to see us together and she hardly ever gets to come over here so..." He turned on the pleading eyes full force.

Seto sighed, knowing that he couldn't win this one. "Alright, you can send her the pictures, but for safety make sure that Mokuba uses the courier company that Kaiba Corporation employs to send all of it's sensitive documents."

"Thanks Seto," Jou said gratefully, giving him a quick squeeze. "I'll go and call Mokuba now!" He dashed over to his own desk, Seto watching with amusement as he went. He shook his head and smiled as he went back to his own work. After all, whatever made Jou happy made him happy too and if Jou said that he could trust his sister and as long as the photos were sent safely via his secure courier, then who was he to argue?

-------------------------------

Once he'd received the phone call from Jou, Mokuba wasted no time in starting to print out photos and arrange them in an album, Noa helping him to choose the best shots. "Hey Mokuba," Noa said after a few moments, "Do you think we should include this sequence?"

Mokuba took a long look at the four photos that Noa was showing on the screen. They showed Seto and Jonouchi on the Saturday afternoon that Mokuba had caught them making out in the office. Jou was clearly in control of what was occurring between them and the last picture showed both participants quite dishevelled with their clothes obviously loosened. Once Noa had helped Mokuba to edit the bruises that Jou had acquired the night before out of the picture it had become a favourite sequence of Jou's and he'd had a set framed and placed on his bedside table for the occasions that he stayed over. Seto had been a bit annoyed that Mokuba had printed them out, but when Jou had shown how pleased he was he had decided not to make an issue out of it.

"Hmm, I don't see why not," Mokuba mused. "They aren't explicit or anything. Yeah, let's add them."

Noa complied and shortly Mokuba was arranging those photos as the final four in the album. He quickly sealed the album into the package it would be posted in and addressed it to Shizuka.

"OK, Noa, I'm off to the couriers to get this sent. I won't be long," Mokuba said as he dashed out of the room. He would have to be quick if he were to get to the couriers before their main office closed for the day. Luckily he made it with a few minutes to spare and soon the package was booked in and ready to go. Mokuba thanked the receptionist and made to leave only to do a double take. It had only been for a split second, but he thought he'd seen Honda out the back, but as soon as he'd taken his second look there had been no sign of him. He shrugged it off as his mind playing tricks on him and left to go back home.

-------------------------------

"Hey Honda," Ito, the shift manager called over once Mokuba had gone," I got a job for you."

Honda groaned, "You do know that I'm supposed to be clocking off in a minute don't you?" he pointed out.

"Yeah, I know, but young Kaiba was in with a rush job and we really don't want to upset the Kaibas," Ito explained. "I wouldn't normally ask, but you are the only one here right now and I'll make it worth your while."

"OK, I'll do it," Honda said with a grin at the thought of some extra cash. "Where am I going?" His eyes widened as he heard his destination. What on earth was Mokuba doing sending stuff to Jonouchi's sister – and by courier no less.'

"Is there some kind of problem?" Ito asked as he took in Honda's shocked face.

"No, no, not at all," Honda said as he waved his hands in denial. "Just wondering why Mokuba would be sending stuff to Jou's sister is all. Not that it's any of my business," he added quickly.

"No it isn't," Ito said with a look at Honda that spoke volumes. "Anyhow, since you're doing me a favour I'll let you go home once you've delivered that there package. You can bring the signature slip in when you start your shift on Monday, OK?"

"Thank you sir," Honda bowed before making his way out. He placed the package in his backpack, picked up his motorcycle and before very long he was parked up outside the Black Crown game shop. He headed in just as Otogi was making ready to close the store for the evening.

"Hey lover, good to see you," Otogi said with a smile as Honda approached him.

"Good to see you too," Honda replied, "I'm really sorry, but I can't stop. Ito sent me out on a last minute job. Gotta take a package to Shizuka of all people."

"Really," Otogi said with a raised eyebrow. "Who is sending stuff to Jou's sister and does he know about it?"

"That's the funny thing," Honda said. "It's from Mokuba, so yeah, I'd say that Jou probably knows."

"Oh," Otogi feigned nonchalance. "So... do you have time to come up for a drink or something before you have to go?" He really wanted to get a look in that package in case there was something he could use inside, but he knew that he'd have to do it without Honda's knowledge. Hopefully he'd get a chance if he could delay him for a short while.

"Yeah, that sounds good," Honda said with some relief, "I didn't get time to have one earlier." He followed Otogi up to his apartment above the shop.

"Are you sure you won't you get into trouble for taking too long?" Otogi asked.

"Nah. If there's a query over it I'll tell him the traffic was bad or something, or I'll just avoid that altogether by asking Shizuka to mark an earlier time." Honda dropped his backpack by the chair as he sat down, missing the curious glances that Otogi kept sending in it's direction.

Half an hour later, Honda had been both fed and watered and was making ready to go. "I'll just nip to the bathroom then I'll be off," he said as he headed towards the smallest room.

"Sure," Otogi said realising that this was his chance as he took the cups and plates back into the kitchen. He simply dumped the items in the sink, quickly re-emerging from the room and heading over to Honda's backpack. He was genuinely curious over what Mokuba could be sending to Shizuka and he knew he would only have a scant couple of minutes while Honda was in the bathroom to find out.

He pulled out then carefully unsealed the package and pulled out what looked to be a small photograph album. His eyes widened in surprise as he opened it and looked at the contents. It would seem that Kaiba and his dog were doing a fair bit more than just working together!

Quickly making a decision, he pulled out a sharp knife and carefully cut out the last four most incriminating photographs, making it look at a casual glance like they had never been there and slipped the pictures under a cushion. Then he sealed everything back up as it had been and placed the package back in the backpack just as Honda was returning from the bathroom. Thinking quickly he walked towards Honda and held out the bag. "Here you go love," he said as he handed it over.

"Thanks," Honda said as he took the bag and gave Otogi a quick kiss. "I'll be back in a couple of hours at the latest."

"OK then, see you later." Otogi managed to contain himself until Honda was out of sight and then an evil grin crossed his face. Oh, this was going to be good.

------------------------

Meanwhile Noa, having got a little bored while Mokuba was away, had decided to go and look in on what Seto was doing. As he hacked into the feed of one of the security cameras in the office, he saw Jonouchi tell Seto he was leaving to go and spend the evening at Yugi's. Noa gave a smile as Jou gave Seto a kiss on the cheek before he left. He was happy that his adoptive brother had found someone. After what Gozaburo had put him through, it was the very least that he deserved.

He fought down a pang of regret at the thought of his deceased father. Once Mokuba had re-awakened his program he'd got to wondering whether it was his death that had caused Gozaburo to become the way he was, but after researching the matter he had quickly come to the conclusion that the man had always been an evil bastard and if Noa had lived then he was sure that he would have been carefully moulded into the tyrannical man's image. In fact, from what Mokuba had told him his previous incarnation had almost become exactly like that, only redeeming himself at the very end as he stopped the spirit of Kaiba Gozaburo from destroying everyone.

He was so caught up in his introspection that he failed to notice that he'd given away that someone was watching when he'd moved the security camera to get a better angle and Seto had taken advantage of his distraction to detect the intrusion and quarantine it. He started in shock as what was in effect a virtual cage began to enclose him and he made to get away, but it was already far too late and he was well and truly caught. He looked up to find himself 'face to face' with Seto himself through the webcam of Seto's computer. "S... Seto," Noa stuttered, suddenly terrified. Seto had the power to delete him and he couldn't help but fervently wish that Mokuba or Jou were here.

"Hmm, I'd been wondering what had been nosing around my systems recently." Seto feigned nonchalance although Noa could tell that underneath that cool exterior that Seto was more than a little annoyed. "So tell me, how long have you been hiding in my systems?"

"I..." He swallowed as he gathered his thoughts, "Mokuba found my backup files about six months ago..."

"Mokuba did this?" Seto raised an eyebrow. "He's always far too trusting. So, give me a reason why I shouldn't just delete you right now?"

"I'm not the same Noa that you knew before!" Noa blurted out. "I'm a backup from when Gozaburo first uploaded my mind into the computer, from before he became bitter and twisted. I'll never do what he did, I couldn't, I swear!" He sighed as Seto remained silent. "Even Jonouchi said that I deserved a second chance," he said sadly.

"Jou knew about you?" Seto asked sharply.

"Yes he did, but..." Noa found himself without a voice as Seto muted the sound.

"Never mind, I don't want to hear about that right now," Seto pulled out his cell phone and dialled a number. "Mokuba. Come to my office. Now!" He barked this down the phone then hung up before Mokuba could reply. He sat back in his chair and regarded the scared looking virtual boy on his screen sourly. He thought he'd seen the last of Noa, but to find him hiding in his systems was an unpleasant surprise and the fact that neither his brother or his lover had told him was unforgivable. Mokuba – and later on, Jonouchi - had a lot of explaining to do.

------------------------------

Mokuba winced at Seto's tone as the rapid beeps came that indicated that the other had terminated the call. Whatever had upset his brother like that could not be good and he began to rack his brain for something he could have done to upset him in such a way. He slowly started making his way towards the front door, not really wanting to face his brother when he was upset like this but knowing that putting it off would not make things any better. What was worse was that Noa didn't seem to be around to give him encouragement like he would normally do.

At that thought he came to a sudden halt. Something else that he'd been putting off was telling Seto about Noa. Jou had reminded him several times that he needed to come clean but somehow the time had never seemed to be right. He gasped as he also realised that he hadn't heard from Noa since he'd got back from the couriers and although that wasn't particularly unusual, he couldn't help but worry. Seto was a genius after all, and he was bound to find out eventually

As the thought that Seto might have discovered Noa on his own crossed his mind he broke into a run towards the waiting limo. He just hoped that if his suspicions were correct that Seto hadn't summarily deleted him. The thought of never seeing his friend again was something that he could not bear and didn't want to contemplate. If Seto had deleted Noa then he would never forgive him!

"Kaiba Corporation and step on it!" Mokuba barked at the poor driver as he threw himself into the waiting car. The man blanched then wasted no time in responding. What the Kaiba brothers wanted, the Kaiba brothers got and although it was unusual for the younger to take this kind of tone, he held no illusions that he was not just as ruthless and powerful as his older brother when he wanted to be.

He peeled out of the drive, determined to get the boy to KC as quickly as possible. He was sure that his job would depend upon it!

----------------------

Back in the office at the Kaiba Corporation building, Kaiba Seto sat and waited patiently for Mokuba to arrive. He turned the computer monitor off as he could not bear to look at Noa as he 'sat' there awaiting his fate. He was considering whether to call Jou and demand that he come back to the office when he was disturbed by the bleeping of the intercom. Kaiba sighed as he pressed the button. "What?" he snapped irritably.

"Mr Kaiba," Saya's concerned voice emanated from the speaker, "you may wish to turn on the television. Channel Seven are running a story that you really need to see."

Seto ignored the worried tone in Saya's voice. "Why should I turn on that tawdry gossip channel?" he asked shortly.

"They... they have some pictures of you and Mr. Jonouchi, sir," Saya informed him shakily.

"What?" he exclaimed in shock, cutting off the intercom and hurriedly turning on the TV that was situated on the wall. He watched in horror as they did indeed have photographs of himself with Jonouchi playing on the screen. They were quite explicit as to who was in control and Seto recalled that this was Jonouchi's favourite sequence of photographs, but how could the news channels have got hold of them and more importantly, who could possibly have leaked them? He really did not need this on top of the issues with Noa and Mokuba and only one thought crossed his mind.

How could the mutt have betrayed him like this?

----------------------------------

A/N - This chapter is a touch shorter than the previous ones, but it really was the best place to stop. This is also the part where the story actually began in my head. The whole story was built around the premise that somehow photos of Jou and Seto got leaked to the press and this was Not A Good Thing.

To be honest, I had considered ending the story at the end of chapter 7. Everything wrapped up fairly well and I'm not convinced that this next part works quite so well, but I guess that because I wrote it, I'll edit it and post it. :P
