Hey fellow readers, I thought I change things up a bit and pull something from Yugioh. I figure everyone has someone out there for them and believe it or not there's a match even for Seto Kaiba but it's not the kind you would expect.

Heart of Stone
Ch1. Matching wits
The day was dark as the rain had been going on for a few days, Domino's citizens went about their business as they past one of the tallest buildings in town, Kaiba Corp. owned by non other than Seto Kaiba. A young man that rose from practically nothing to being one of the most wealthy at a tender age of 12 and completely transformed a company that made millions producing weapons of destruction to be sold to the highest bidder. To a company that 12 years later is now making billions selling duel systems and creating amusement parks for the dueling enthusiast, young and old. All of this success, the ruthless business tactics was not meant for just his benefit but to provide a better life for his younger brother Mokuba whom without him, Seto wouldn't of gotten this far. Seto was at his desk over looking the stock reports from the previous day when his business assistant Roland came in after knocking on the door.
"What is it?" he asked gruffly
"Mr. Kaiba I hate to report this but the construction of the newest Kaiba land hasn't continued because of the weather conditions."
"They said that they were ahead of schedule and now are slacking off."
"Anderson is concerned about the workers being injured during the acclimate weather."
"Well I just have to pay them a visit tomorrow and remind him who's paying for them to build this, now leave."
"Yes sir." Roland leaves the office
"Seto, North Star construction has had a contract with us for years they built all of our Kaiba lands world wide, each one has opened on schedule. A few days rain isn't gonna slow them down." said Mokuba
"I'm aware of that Mokuba but you know I don't like being kept waiting on an important project."
Mokuba rolls his eyes 'I wonder if he'd ever discover patience.' he thinks
The next morning a black limo arrives on the newest Kaiba Land construction site. The driver gets out and opens the back passenger door to let the Kaiba's out, Seto walks by the sign that says visitors must check in and walk right through the security gate.
"Seto, we have to check in with security."
"Mokuba, this is what we call a surprise inspection."
Now on the grounds they started looking around and they find that all workers were out working on various attractions and lifting a beam towards what would soon be a rollercoaster by crane with a young tan girl with long Onyx black hair with burnt sienna highlights on the gangway with a white hard hat on talking into the radio watching it go up.
"What's that young girl think she's doing? She could get hurt." Seto said walking up
He grabbed a hold of the girl and was about to pull her back when she turns around and kicks him in the stomach. She gets on her radio and calls an alert.
"Unauthorized personnel at Blue Eyes coaster, security code gray."
"Seto we need to get out of here." said Mokuba but was quickly snagged by security
More security appears as the code gray alarm blared and orders were shouted over the loud speaker and they apprehend Seto as well.
"Bring them to the office." said the young girl
Both Seto and Mokuba were brought into the main office above the construction site and were un-handcuffed.
"Mr. Kaiba, what a treat"
They looked up as a big embossed vinyl chair turned around and revealed a young woman that looked similar to the girl from earlier but older, her eyes a smoldering gold, lips supple yet full, hair pulled into a professional style pony tail, her clothes consisted of a purple keyhole blouse, under a black cropped blazer and tailored black pants and studded black cropped boots.
Her smile quickly turned into a scowl as she gets up and leans on her desk.
"I hope you realize that your little unannounced visit had shut this yard down for 2 hours. Didn't you see the sign to check in with security."
"Told you." said Mokuba
"Do you realize who your talking to little girl?"
"Yes, I'm talking to a rich, arrogant son of a bitch who can't seem to pay heed to a simple safety and security protocol, especially when touring an active construction site with his younger brother."
"There was a young girl on the gangway my brother though she wasn't suppose to be there." Mokuba explained
"My younger sister Aiya has authorization to be out there and she was wearing her safety gear and if you're your brother grabs her like that again, she won't aim for his stomach. Then will have to deal with me."
"I don't need some contractor on a power trip lecturing me, get your supervisor in here now."
"Your looking at her." said Aiya
"We haven't been introduced I'm Deinera Anderson, President and C.E.O of North Star Construction."
"I believe that I spoke with a Dean Anderson."
"My father is enjoying his well deserved retirement on a beach in Acapulco, my sister and I have been overseeing the construction of Kaiba Lands for the past 4 years."
"Why wasn't I informed of this change?"
"You were off gallivanting somewhere in Egypt and were unreachable."
"As far as your visit, you were wondering about why we had stopped construction because of the weather." said Aiya
"As a matter of fact, yes we were" said Mokuba
"Well this particular storm had a peculiar magnetic flux which would have severely damaged not only our equipment but endangered our work force."
"But as you can clearly see, despite you presence construction is back on schedule. Come to think of it, its time to check on the other sites." said Deinera
"Shades"
The shade automatically drew closed.
"Cool" said Mokuba
"Everything is voice activated" said Deinera
"Aiya pull up sites 7, 13 and 14."
"Pulling up sites 7, 13 and 14."
Deinera walked to the center of the room where a ring of light appeared and soon enough video screens of the requested sites were surrounding the room.
"Gentlemen we have a visitor for our meeting. The client of whom is expecting results for his investment, Seto Kaiba."
"Welcome Mr. Kaiba"
"So you are aware Mr. Kaiba for each site I have an appointed foremen and I would like to introduce you. This is Edward Esquivel, he is in charge of site 7 located in Barcelona, Spain."
"Buenos Dias, Senor Kaiba"
"Good afternoon"
"This is William Turner, he's overseeing the Sydney, Australia at site 13"
"G'day Mr. Kaiba"
"Good Afternoon"
"And this is Steve Edison, he's the foremen for site 14 in London, England."
"Good Morning, Mr. Kaiba"
"Status Report, site 7"
"We are at 85 percent completion Ms. Anderson, the Dueling arenas are the last to be completed. As soon as they are completed, we will send for Kaiba corps tech team."
"I'll alert the tech team and they will be standing by." said Seto
"Site 13 what about you?"
"We are a bit behind because of the Hurricane that hit several days ago and knocked out the power grid, we're just starting to get things back up and running."
"Was there any damage?"
"Only minor construction damage nothing severe."
"Keep me posted"
"Will do"
"Site 14"
"We are at 100 percent completion as of last night, just under 193,000 pounds under budget."
"Excellent"
"How is that possible?" asked Seto
"The use of natural resources such as solar, wind and Hydro energy to power all our construction equipment. The site is ready for the Kaiba Corp tech team."
"Affirmative"
"I'll dispatch a tech team to London immediately."
"We'll secure the site and depart as soon as they arrive."
"Excellent, good day gentlemen."
The video feed disconnects and the blinds open as the meeting had adjourned.
"You see Mr. Kaiba, I have everything under control. What I don't like is 'surprise inspections' with every construction site has there hazards, because you failed to check in with security you weren't given any safety equipment and could of gotten hurt."
"I understand."
"Good now that we see eye to eye. Let me personally escort you two out."
She lead the way out of the office and led them to the front gate.
"It was nice to meet you both, I'll keep you posted on sites 7 & 13."
"Good, I would also like to check up on this site as well."
"Do call ahead though."
Seto smirks as he closes the window and the limo drives away.
"Do call ahead" *giggles* "He's kinda cute in a royal-pain-in-the-can sort of way." said Aiya
"If he wasn't such a pompous jerk he would be. Come on, let's get back to work."
[Back in the Limo]
"Mokuba, Pull up everything you can on Deinera Anderson."
"You like her, don't you?"
"Mokuba, keep that imagination in check."
"You can lie to yourself if you want to but you can lie to me."
"Shut it, little brother."
A/N: well that begins a new story, what ya think?
