Change of heart
Disclaimers: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
A/N: Okay... I altered the gang's ages, and they have already finished schooling except for Mokuba. And I altered Serenity's appearance in here for a reason. Some of the ideas came from a movie called "Sabrina" so if some of the ideas in here seem familiar, well... you'll know the reason. And the title... hehehe! Remind you of a certain Yu-Gi-Oh card? Hahaha!
Okay that's all...
But before the story begins, let's start with a little summary...
Summary: Yup, SetoXSerenity with a little bit of MokubaXSerenity! Seto encounters a girl through his younger brother called Ellie Hiragamo and finds out that she's actually the daughter of a man who holds a major corp.! If his marrying her means that he gets more money, you can bet that Kaiba is in for it!!! But his plans change when he meets a certain someone, and little does he know that she is about to change his life forever...
Chapter 1
"ARGH!!!"
"Is everything alright, Mr. Kaiba?" His secretary rushed in right away.
"This damn computer is so slow! Crap it!!!" shouted Kaiba, standing up and slamming his fists on his office table.
"Calm down, Mr. Kaiba. If you ask me, I think you're getting stressed." His secretary, Ms. Takakura, said quickly.
"Perhaps so..." said Kaiba.
Suddenly a loud knock was heard from the outside.
"Come in!" Kaiba shouted.
"Hey," said his younger brother, Mokuba.
He was now a tall, lanky teenager in high school.
Kaiba's expression softened when he saw his brother. His secretary exited the room and Mokuba walked across the room to Seto's desk.
"Hey Seto, I found a girl." He said, sitting opposite his brother.
"You found a what????" Kaiba suddenly exclaimed.
"A girl." Said Mokuba, giving him a small smile.
Kaiba rummaged around his desk before he answered Mokuba's statement.
"Mokuba," he said, still fixing the things on his desk, "You should have learned by now that girls are an inferior species so why don't you just give up on it?"
"Well, bro, for one thing," said Mokuba, standing up, "I want to date her, you know. You're such a workaholic that you don't give a single fiber for girls. I mean, get a life, Seto. Practically everyone is looking for the perfect someone in his or her life. So why don't you just get a look at my girl and see if you approve of her. Take a break from work and let me handle the corp. for a while." Mokuba said.
"Of course..." said Kaiba, and Mokuba rejoiced inwardly.
"...NOT." Kaiba continued.
"Oh, come on, give the corp. a rest! I mean, we got a lot of money now! And by the way, did I mention... I think you'll like the girl. The name's Ellie Hiragamo." Said Mokuba, walking away slowly, knowing that he would triumph.
"Wait, Mokuba! You say that this girl is really the daughter of Vince Hiragamo?" Kaiba said.
"W-ell..." said Mokuba, looking at Kaiba with his arms crossed. "You can go meet her if I can run the corp. for a little while." He said, in cruel blackmail.
"Fine, whatever. I mean, what bad can you do, bro." Seto said, standing up.
Mokuba smiled. Things were finally going his way.
And the reason behind why Seto was so eager to meet this girl (Just in case you didn't read the summary portion) was because she was the daughter of Vince Hiragamo, one of his rivals and one of the most powerful men in Japan. Mr. Hiragamo owned a large company selling products. He was hoping to get their companies to merge and he would get lots of money out of this opportunity.
"I know what you're thinking, Seto, now why don't you just go along and meet her at this place. I scheduled a meeting with her there." Mokuba said, rushing his brother out of the office.
LATER ON...
A little while later, Kaiba arrived at a local restaurant. It specialized, however, in ice cream and was one of the biggest and most convenient stores in Japan, since it belonged to Hiragamo.
Kaiba rode his limo, and when he got there it was very crowded.
'Crapping hell, how will I be able to find this Ellie Hiragamo?' he thought furiously, looking at his expensive watch.
He walked straight up to the counter.
"Ah, you must be Seto Kaiba." Said the lady at the counter. She was smiling at him.
He took this as a bad sign. "Seems like I'm famous around here." He said sarcastically.
"Hey, look, I didn't mean to offend you. Listen, I recognized you because Mokuba's told me all about you." She said.
He looked at her nametag, and realized that he shouldn't have done that. Then it hit him. Mokuba was not interested in her! He was matching Seto and her up!
Nevertheless, this girl was really pretty.
"Um, good afternoon." He said. "Ellie Hiragamo right?"
"Yes, nice to finally meet you, Seto. I'll take your order and I'll join you in that table over there. And you don't need to pay," she said, smiling. He was about to take out his wallet. "It's on the house."
Mokuba, meanwhile, was having a hell of a time. Too many people were barging in the office. Practically the only one who hasn't come in was his brother's secretary. His brother should install an electronic buzzer at the door!
He was busy on paperwork, absently stamping the signature lines with his brother's official stamp.
Suddenly Kaiba came bursting in. "I like her, Mokuba. You can date her." He said.
"Actually bro, you should have figured out now that I want YOU and her to date!!!" he said and left the office without a word.
Kaiba rolled his eyes and focused once more on his paperwork.
"Mr. Kaiba, a Miss Serenity Wheeler." Her secretary said through the phone speaker.
"Send her in." he said distractedly.
He knew who she was, the sister of his bastard enemy, Joey Wheeler. Their family was unfortunate, so her mother was working for him as a maid at his home. Nevertheless, he and his brother Mokuba had known Serenity for ages.
The teenage girl timidly opened the door.
Her short curly hair bobbed behind her, and glasses were on the bridge of her nose. (A/N: Like I said, I changed her appearance for a reason.)
"Um, Mr. Kaiba." She said quietly. "My mother is sending me to Paris, France and I won't come back for like a year. I hope you won't mind." She said.
She had served him as a maid, too, but she wasn't a full-time maid.
"Yes." He said distractedly.
"Okay." She said, closing the door behind her.
He started recalling the times when Joey had been enemies with him, and they oftenly fought. That was before his mother and his sister had become his employees, which probably made Kaiba the winner all through out all their fights in the previous years.
He gave a contented smile and went back to work.
After a year of dating...
Kaiba stopped his limo in front of the hospital where Ms. Hiragamo worked. He was holding a bouquet of flowers as he came in.
"In which room is Ms. Ellie Hiragamo?" Kaiba asked the receptionist, who looked like she ate a cow.
She giggled. "You are Seto Kaiba right? The multi millionaire."
"I don't have time to flirt with receptionists." He snapped at the fat receptionist. This statement silenced the receptionist and she shut up, knowing that Seto Kaiba often had mood swings. Though, she resented his statement greatly.
"She's in room 545, sir." She said quickly.
He glared at her rudely, annoyed at her for wasting his time. He strode quickly to the elevator.
Soon he was at Floor 5. He walked quickly towards room 545 and opened the door hastily.
A woman was screaming, some surgeons were surrounding her. Obviously he had walked into a maternity ward. The surgeons were giving him dirty looks. "I'm looking for Ms. Ellie Hiragamo." He said, returning a glare with his cold blue eyes.
A woman ripped off her surgical mask and came towards Seto, pushing him outside.
"Yes, Seto? I'm afraid you came at a very bad time." She said, a frown on her face.
"I came here for a special reason." He said, handing her the bouquet of flowers.
Her face turned back to its pretty state. Ellie was not disfigured. She had long blonde hair that stretched up to her shoulders, and big green eyes. "Yeah? What's that?" she asked her boyfriend.
Kaiba was lucky that there were no people to witness what he was about to do.
He knelt down before her, taking a box out of his pocket.
Ellie gave a gasp of surprise. "Ellie Hiragamo, will you be my wife?" he asked gruffly.
"Yes, of course!" she shouted, giving Seto a hug. Seto despised hugs, except one from Mokuba.
Ellie couldn't believe that this man, who had never once said that he loved her, was proposing to her, in this very hospital!
She was the happiest woman alive!
"Absolutely, Seto! I like it." Said Mokuba.
"I am only doing this for the merge of our companies. But she's okay overall." Kaiba said gruffly.
Mokuba laughed silently. Perhaps it was true that his older brother was in love with his present girlfriend. "But honestly Seto, I don't like your using her." Mokuba remarked, getting into his sports car. He was off to a tennis match with his friends at the clubhouse near their home.
"I don't care whether I'm using her, Mokuba. I like her and all but she is really not my type. I just want the best for our company. And of course, I'm doing this all for us." Kaiba said. He had just told Mokuba about his engagement with Ellie Hiragamo.
He would do anything to get their companies to merge-even if marriage was standing in his way to his goal.
A/N: Phew... so much for the first chapter! Greedy, money-hungry Kaiba... (Frowns) Anyways, I hope you like it and please leave a review!! :) thanks!
