I promised myself I wouldn't actually go through with this, but the only thing I can control myself with (surprisingly) is money. I had a dream where something SIMILAR but not exactly like this happened and dabbled with the idea of writing it out. I am on my way to updating Can't Pay your way out of this Job! but right now. . .this is the fic that takes over my brain. I had someone skim over it for errors but it was written on a blog originally so I know there are errors from typing faster than I can read, so I am VERY sorry about that. I did proof read and did check over my work, so if anyone wants to pre-read future chapters for errors I would be grateful!
Disclaimer: If I owned Yugioh, half of the guys would be wearing leather if anything and it wouldn't be legal in the US because of all the gay hotness. Also, 4Kids couldn't POSSIBLY squeeze anything useable out of it, and Ryou WOULD be a main character. . .and you betcha monies Eevee and I would be in the show! So, is Yugioh mine? NO! It's Kazuki Takahashi's AKA the Shitaki Dude's!
Warnings: This chapter contains adult language (swearing/cursing) and some adult language (some words little kids shouldn't read). If you are not legally allowed to read this in the US, just thought I'd warn ya that it's in here so don't get all prissy on me about it.
Contains original characters in here, and what, Peggi and Eevee aren't in the fic?! If you don't like it, don't flame. Constructive criticism are welcomed and reviews are greatly appreciated!
CHAPTER ONE - THE BOARD MEETING
Her lips had obviously had something injected into them as well as most parts of her body. Her face, fake. Her boobs, fake. Her ass, oh yeah, really fake. Seto Kaiba, CEO of KaibaCorp was used to women like this flirting with him in hopes of "scoring the big one", thinking that he would sleep with them and that he would give them his fortunes. He had pretty much tuned her out around the introduction and at that point wasn't quite sure if he could remember big-boobed-blondie's name. He rolled his eyes a few more times, casually walked over to the bar and grabbed a glass sitting there but before he took a drink of the cola that was inside, he sat it down again and glanced around the room for any sign of Kazka, his competitor.
He took a swig of the beverage and slammed the glass back down, fed up with the girl who had followed him around the room for nearly ten full minutes no matter where he walked, and his meeting was going to begin in twenty. He listened to her babble on about the ocean and some view and a really big bedroom while glancing at his watch.
The lighting in the room must've been a bit dim because his watch seemed to blur a bit. When he looked up two big green eyes stared up at him but these eyes were not those of the girl made of plastic.
"Hey honey, have some change to spare for a poor girl who needs a room at the Ritz?" the girl put on a pouting face and gave her excuse but to his surprise it wasn't an invitation to join her, "You see, I left my purse at home and this jerk who brought me here ditched me so I don't have anywhere to stay. To tell you the truth I'm trashed and," she looked a bit harder at the man she was asking for some cash, and he didn't look any older than herself.
Gala events didn't suit her but it was a way of making money, and money was something that she definitly liked! Pandora scanned the room for her victim and found boobs with a body attatched to them. The body was talking to a brunette man in a suit, obviously loaded with cash. Pandora and her cousin Evelyn had never had much in common aside from their eye color and if her host family member knew that she were here conning the obscenely wealthy right now, Evelyn would have her head!
Evelyn had lived in Japan her whole life, but Pandora had moved there just recently from the United States and was more of a tough street girl. She had heard of an event close to where she was staying; CEOs and the older rich folk would be attending the party and holding business meetings, and a chance to snatch up some cash couldn't be passed up!
Pandora approached the brunette and after simply glancing at her competition, the blonde had realized she had no chance. Pandora was real, she was beautiful, and she was coming in for this blonde's kill. The brunette swayed a bit; obviously he'd had too much to drink, and Pandora almost felt bad for what she was about to do, but not quite. Her need for pretty things came before all else!
Seto Kaiba felt the room spinning beneath his feet and suddenly realized what must've happened. While he was looking away, the blonde had slipped something into his drink! He had never taken drugs in his life and now he was about to be high as a kite right before a very important meeting that could determine the future of KaibaCorp!
Before he knew what he was doing, Seto began spilling his thoughts to the girl standing before him. He began with the business proposal to the clients in order for them to sign a contract and work with KaibaCorp and ended with how beautiful she was.
"Uh, let's start with 'hi, I'm Pandora. And you are?',"
"Seto Kaiba, I-" he could barely think at that point and for some reason felt like giggling, "can't go in there! What do you do?!"
She giggled a bit but understood what he meant, "Look I don't know what the hell this Duel Mongoose crap is but I'll help you if I can."
Seto began laughing in a very un-Kaiba like manner at her talk of mongooses and corrected her, "Duel monsters. What you are. . .what can. . ." he tried to think of how to form a sentence but laughed shrilly instead.
"I don't know. I'll think of something."
Pandora had a sly smile on her face. Simple. She was a con artist, and this was simply another obstacle she would have to face in order to get her prize! This guy owned a company so he must be loaded. In the morning he would lavish her with money and jewels for helping him, so it would be worth it! He would be so thankful to her that he would follow her around like a puppy and buy her things whenever she snapped her fingers! He would. . .time for the meeting.
Men in suits sat around a table and Pandora tried her best to hold a straight face while her new best buddy Seto Kaiba fidgeted with a pen, lying his head on the table.
"So, Mr. Kaiba, what do you have for us today?"
Pandora stood, 'looks like I'm up. . .'
"Hello gentlemen, my name is Pandora Mizaki and I am Mr. Kaiba's assistant. Part of his demonstration today is to show how affective it can be to properly train your assistants, but I will explain that part of his proposal to you at the end of this meeting."
She had them in the palm of her hand so far, now if only she could hold back the giggles and understand what on Earth was on the charts that Seto had set up in the board room. She flipped the first page over and revealed the first page.
"Oh. . .my. . ." she stated, utterly confused.
"Excuse me?" one of the men questioned.
"I mean, oh my! Look what we have here!" she began the demonstration. "What we have here, gentlemen," she looked carefully at the writing on the charts, "is what KaibaCorp's profits look like now! Look at these terrible numbers! They are all so low and these little squiggly lines going up and down and then leading up as they get further to the right, well, just look at them! This is just awful!"
"Miss Mizaki, those profits are fantastic! I thought this meeting was to introduce ideas for Duel Monsters bath towels."
Pandora could no longer contain the laughter that raged within.
"You tell 'em judge!" Seto was now completely out of it.
She was done, stick her with a fork, DONE! But she wouldn't let this win her over just yet!
"Bath towels. Well, yes, this is an introduction to how bath towels could raise our profits, but you could also do so much more with KaibaCorp by your side! You are looking for a company who sells products for duel monsters, yes? But shouldn't you also be looking for a company who sells you its people? I'm sure my competitor has worked himself to the bone but work isn't the only thing needed to run a business, gentlemen. There is one key ingredient to running a business. Do you know what that is? You, sir," she singled out a man closest to her, "do you know? Or you?"
All of them shook their heads; just as she was about to say 'hard working employees', Seto decided to answer for her.
"LOVE!"
". . .yes. . .that's right. You need, um, love. You need loving and dedicated employees who are willing to work for you 110 percent and to help you with your business meetings even when you have a cold and you take cold medicine that makes you sleepy, right Mr. Kaiba?"
"VERY SLEEPY!" he yelled, causing a few of the men to jump.
"What does my opponent have? A good proposal, but how many of his employees came here on their nights off? I'm not getting paid for this. Actually, I just dropped by to see how this meeting would turn out! To congradulate Mr. Kaiba on a job well done, but when I realized his cold medicine had worn him out I knew I needed to step in. How many of my competitor's employees even know what he is selling to you? I'm sure none of them do!"
By the end of the meeting Pandora not only had them eating from the palm of her hand but they were flinging papers in front of Seto Kaiba to sign! Finally the meeting was over and Pandora looked to the brunette who was now asleep, hunched over the table.
"Miss Mizaki?" the competitor, Kazka, re-entered the room, "if that is even your name. You gave a great proposal this evening. I congradulate both you and Mr. Kaiba on a job well done. I know that you two do not know each other, and I know that your grand ideas were impromptu. That is why I am here. I would like to offer you a job at my company. You know, we do offer love, a good pay, and there are plenty of available spots. Are you interested?"
"To tell you the truth, sir, I am no business woman. I shouldn't even be here tonight," she smiled sweetly.
"I know. And I won't even tell those three men that you stole their wallets while you were shaking their hands. No, ma'am, that is not a threat. I was conning people at events such as this myself once. You have a great future ahead of you. I bet one day you will either marry or become a CEO yourself! You have what it takes."
"Thank you. Oh, and my last name is not Mizaki. But my first name is Pandora. That part I did not lie about."
"And I do not lie when I say that you were, by far, the most beautiful girl at this entire event. If I were not a married, and quite happily I might add, man I would ask you out for a date!"
They smiled at each other for a few seconds and then he took his leave. Pandora sighed, falling hard onto the chair beside her and wondering what to do next. She didn't know where to take Seto but couldn't just leave him there in the board room.
