Hello Everyone! Here I am with a brand new story! Well honestly its a brand new take on an old fanfiction I wrote years ago that has been kept away in a binder since my middle school days. Seeing as last year was the anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh! (And yes I did go and see Darkside of Dimensions) and last year I finally was able to make my Seto Kaiba cosplay, I have decided to bring out Sapphire, an old OC of mine. After fixing her up and pretty much rearranging her settings, I thought it was time to write her story with our dear beloved CEO of Kaiba Corp. Well here it is! The First chapter of The White Dragon and The Zombie Queen! R and R!
DISCLAIMER: I dont own Yu-Gi-Oh and any of the canon characters. I only own Sapphire and a few other characters I created just for this story! I'm not making any money off of this trust me.
"How could this happen?!" Yelled the CEO of Kaiba Corp as he slammed his fist down on his desk angrily. The young man showing signs of immense anger, his teeth gritting together. His younger brother Mokuba gulped and rubbed the back of his head. "W-Well Sir, her father Is one of the shareholders of the company, and a well respected CEO like yourself. Her daughter did show promise and we did need to get a new programmer in right away. Since you…fired the last one just recently." Said Isono nervously as he stood beside Mokuba.
Seto Kaiba glanced up at the man sharply, his icy blue eyes holding a hint of anger, fury even. Seto cleared his throat then and held his head high as he sat up straight in his chair behind his desk. "Fine…But honestly I want to see this girl for myself. I already told you clearly 2 weeks ago that I was going to screen the next person for the job. This new Duel Disk prototype needs to be 10..no 20 times better than the first one on the market. And this.." Seto picked up a file and opened it, glancing at the words on a piece of paper. "Sapphire Kinomoto better be one of the best damned programmers out there."
Isono gulped and nodded, afraid to feel Setos wrath. "Y-Yes sir…I'm certain she will make sure that the new duel disk is constructed properly in terms of coding and such." Seto looked down at the girls file then and sighed. Inside it was her resume, coding work she had done in the past, even a picture of the woman. Seto tcked and rolled his eyes glancing at the photo. The woman had long black hair with the ends dyed a sapphire blue and bright green eyes behind a pair of black glasses frames. Seto though…didn't like what he saw. He had a feeling this girl would cause him problems in the long run but who knows.
Meanwhile, as the sun was slowly setting and evening was drawing upon them, the woman named Sapphire was hard at work. Or seemingly hard at work. She was in one of the gigantic labs in a cubicle in a corner, clicking away at a keyboard. The girl had a pen in between her lips as she concentrated on the screen. She then stopped and took the pen in her left hand and wrote down a few words on a notebook before she smirked and stopped.
"Seriously…this is childs play coding." She said chuckling to herself before she glanced up, hearing a sudden beeping from her computer. Her eyes widened then before she quickly moved back towards the computer. "What the..!?" She said to herself shocked. Across the computer screen the words in bright red started flashing. ~WARNING~ She scoffed and quickly hit enter on her keyboard before she growled and quickly went back into the program. What she was currently working on was the main gaming program for Kaibas Virtual Reality game. Her eyes quickly scanning over the coding work and entering into a new window. "Are you kidding me!? He wants me to input this coding into this program the way it is?!" She narrowed her eyes and slammed her fist down on her desk.
From the way the coding was, it would cause injury to the player in the game. Kaiba had left coding in there that needed fixing, but if Sapphire were to fix it the way it is, the players body would be under immense stress and cause nervous damage. "Damn him..I hope he really didn't expect me to fix that and put it into the program!" She growled to herself. She quickly looked through her notes and then went back to the computer and quickly erased that entire section of coding. "Sorry Kaiba…but I'm going to redo everything in this.." She said to herself, cursing under her breath as she quickly got to work.
As she worked, the blue eyed teen was working on a few papers to get prepared for another meeting. He glanced up though hearing a sudden beeping from his computer. He lazily glanced towards his screen and then blinked. Someone was messing with important files it seemed. "Who would dare.." He said under his breath before he turned his chair towards his PC and quickly began typing on the keyboard. A security camera screen showing live footage popped up in the corner of his screen and beside it, a window opened up showing what was being erased and tampered with. Kaibas eyes widened and he gritted his teeth. "Oh no you don't Miss Kinomoto.." He said dangerously before he quickly opened up a new window and typed in a few commands.
As Sapphire worked on erasing the coding to start fresh, another word started flashing on her screen. ~LOCKDOWN~ "WHAT?!" She exclaimed in shock and anger. She quickly tried to get back into the program but her screen then froze and shut off. "Dammit!" She yelled slamming her fist down onto her desk again. It was a good thing that she was the only one in the lab. Everyone else had gone home for the day, leaving Sapphire to work in peace late. Just then the phone on her desk started ringing. Sapphire blinked and glanced at it before picking the phone off of the receiver and placing it against her ear.
"You think I wouldn't find out that you were messing with my Virtual Reality games programs? Tsk tsk, Miss Kinomoto…" She growled. It was Kaiba. "For your information, Sir I was messing with the program.." She said dangerously.
Kaiba chuckled, turning his office chair to look out the massive window behind his desk. "Honestly, I don't believe you. Erasing the main coding in the program counts as messing with in my book. I'm not an idiot." He said smirking.
Sapphire growled. "Do you even READ the codes before you decide to throw them into the main program folder itself?!" She yelled into the phone. Sapphire was becoming angrier by the minute. "Temper temper..I'll have to find a way to put that attitude of yours in a cage won't I? 5 minutes…my office…then you can formally explain yourself before I have you thrown out of here on your ass." He said before quickly hanging up the phone.
Sapphire growled before she slammed the phone down on the receiver. "Damn that man…I swear I'll let him have it. He wouldn't DARE throw a Kinomoto out of his company." She said rubbing her forehead. She then got up from her chair. If he wanted to speak to her about this then face to face she wouldn't keep the CEO waiting…
10 minutes later she was standing before the large wooden doors leading to Kaibas office, the Virtual Realitys program file tucked under her arm. She went to knock on the door and grumbled under her breath. "I swear he's gonna see things my way.."
"Enter." Was the only word heard. Sapphire then opened the door and walked in. She had to make sure that he didn't see her falter. Sapphire herself never was scared of anything, not even the fearsome CEO of Kaiba Corp. Seto was sitting behind his desk, his fingertips together and his legs crossed. His icy blue eyes focused on the woman that had wandered into his office.
Sapphire stood before his desk, keeping her head held high. She then placed the yellow folder on his desk. "The only reason…that I was erasing coding in that program…was because every word of coding in said program is dangerous when placed together like that." She then slid the folder across the desk towards him.
Kaiba glanced at the folder before he lazily glanced back up at her. "I myself put all that coding together into the program. It's flawless and will work."
"Will work my ass! It'll harm people if they even decide to use the main Virtual reality pod!" She said raising her voice. Kaibas left eye twitched before he reached down and picked up the folder and rose from his seat and walked around his desk. Sapphire gulped and slightly backed up. He stood before her and opened the file, skimming over it quickly before glancing back at her then back at the file. Sapphire needed to hold her ground. He was just a normal person. A normal CEO…who pretty much could fire her on the spot. Sapphire then growled and gritted her teeth together.
"You can't expect me to upload this type of coding into a program the way it is Mr. Kaiba! You know as well as I do it'll cause the gamers to suffer from injury!" Yelled the woman. Sapphire couldn't believe that she was...ARGUING about this to him!
Seto quickly looked at her, the icy blue hues glaring dangerously at her. "Then fix it! That's what I hired you to do! Or as a matter of fact...your Father snuck you into my company to do." Said the young CEO as he held the open file in his hand.
"My father only got me in here because I begged him to! And good thing to! If anyone else wouldn't have caught that your Virtual Reality game would have been faulty as is!" Seto growled and moved so he was standing right in front of her, glaring down into her eyes. Sapphire glared right back up at him, gritting her teeth...
Everything was silent in the office then as the two of them just glared daggers at one another at such close proximity...Things were about to get dangerous.
"My programs…are not faulty…" He said dangerously down at her, narrowing his eyes at her. Sapphire narrowed her eyes right back at him. "Well this one is…And I plan on proving to you that I can turn every bit of coding around and making it better."
"Then do it…Prove me wrong." He growled to her. Sapphire grabbed the file from him and closed it. "I will..you'll see." She growled back at him before she quickly turned and walked towards the door. As she reached for the door handle he cleared his throat.
"You have a day to prove to me that you can make the VR more spectacular than what it already is..Fail me and I will personally throw you out of here myself, do I make myself clear Miss Kinomoto?"
"Fine…also, I highly doubt you'll do it yourself. Always making your guards do all the dirty work. All you are is just bark and no bite. You don't scare me Seto Kaiba." She turned her head and smirked back at him, sliding her glasses down the bridge of her nose as she looked back at him. She then turned back to the door and walked out.
Seto blinked and watched as the female left and shook his head. "This girl is going to give me a migraine.." He said rubbing his forehead and walked back to his desk.
Sapphire sighed and took a sigh of relief as she ran a hand through her hair. "That…was intense.." She said to herself. She then sighed sadly and looked at the file in her hands. One day…that's all she was given. She groaned and shook her head. "I'm going to need more coffee if I'm ever going to finish this in time for Mr. Hot Head." She said to herself as she made her way back down to her little office cubicle. She had a lot of work to do just to prove him wrong.
And there it is! I hope you all enjoyed it! I still wonder if Sapphire will prove him wrong. And OMG all that Snarkiness was JUST the beginning!
Well R and R and I hope to see you all soon!
