Seto Kaiba hires a tutor for Mokuba, but as to who the tutor really is Kaiba has completely forgotten.
ICE
I_ Interview
Every heart of ice melts at some point. That's what she believed. Some melt quicker than others, but there are some that hardly melt at all. She was soon to learn that some hearts of ice simply refuse to melt.
She was so nervous. She stood outside his office dressed for the interview but not mentally perpared. She took a deep breath then knocked on the door. When there was no answer she raised her fist to knock again when the door opened.
The door was answered by a boy of thirteen. He had long black hair. "Can I help you?" He asked.
She recognized him immediately. "I'm Kimberly Hiroshi, I'm here for the private tutor interview with Mr. Kaiba." She answered the boy. "You must be Mokuba," She smiled.
"Yep," Mokuba grinned. "You're right on time," He said, "C'mon in. Seto will be here shortly. He's attending an important board meeting." Mokuba stood aside and let Kimberly into the vast office. "Have a seat," He told her sitting on one end of the couch.
"Thanks," Kimberly sat on the opposite end of the couch. Kimberly smiled to herself, "He's quite the little host. To think he's the same shy and timid kid from the orphanage."
"Um...Ms. Hiroshi, did you hear my question?" Mokuba's voice jolted Kimberly back to reality.
"No, I'm sorry Mokuba I didn't, what was your question?" Kimberly looked at her possibly new student.
"I was wondering if we met before, because you look familiar," Mokuba said.
"Yes we have Mokuba," Kimberly answered. "You, your brother, and I were all at the same orphanage as kids."
"You're the girl that I used to call Kim!" Mokuba smiled remembering now.
"Yes, but don't tell Seto that," Kimberly winked and put a finger to her mouth for Mokuba to keep her true idenity a secret.
"Ok," Mokuba grinned. "It's so great to see you again Kim," Mokuba smiled big.
"It's great to see you again too, Mokuba," Kimberly said with a smile.
(15 Minutes Later)
Kaiba walked up to his office to find the door ajar. He heard Mokuba and an extra voice laughing. He went in to see a woman of his age sitting on the couch with Mokuba laughing at a cartoon. She was wearing a beautiful white blouse with a charcoal-gray pencil skirt with black pumps. "Who the hell does she think she is?" Kaiba frowned.
As if she had heard his thoughts the woman turned to look at him. She rose to her feet and smiled in greeting, "Hello, Mr. Kaiba." Her long strawberry-blonde hair fell across her back in a high ponytail. Her blueish-green eyes were happy and alive.
"Seto!" Mokuba turned his head and smiled at his big brother.
"Mokuba, who is this?" Seto frowned at Kimberly.
"I'm Kimberly Hiroshi, I'm here for the private tutor interview," Kimberly answered instead of Mokuba, "Mr. Mokuba invited me to wait in your office until your return from your meeting, Mr. Kaiba."
"I see," Kaiba's frowning lessened, "Well, let's get started then." Kaiba moved to set his breifcase down by the oak desk and sit in his large black desk chair.
"As you wish," Kimberly sat on the plush chair across from Kaiba. Mokuba remained in his spot on the couch and was watching the cartoons on mute.
After thirty minutes of tedious and important questioning Kimberly got the job. They both rose to their feet. "I'll see you tomorrow at 6 AM, Mokuba," Kimberly smiled at the thirteen-year-old.
"Yes ma'am," Mokuba saluted at her.
Kimberly chuckled with a smile then turned to Kaiba, "Thank you for your time, Mr. Kaiba." She bowed at the waist respectfully. She straightened herself then left the office.
